Chapter 16: old lady 16
The meeting was the village chief's business. Ning Qiu disliked it and was too tired to attend.
But except for a few children, almost all of the old Zhang family went, even Zhang Youcai dragged his body over to join in the fun.
As for what she said, Ning Qiu didn't care. After all, the content was provided by her, so there was no interest in it.
It's just that in the next two or three days, there will be many roosters in the village one after another, almost every household will have one or two to watch the home and nursing home, and in the early morning the village is full of chickens cry.
The incident of poisoning has passed, and it seems that calm has been restored, and it seems to be a prelude to the coming of the storm, which makes people panic.
Today is a market day every six days.
Before leaving, Zhang Dabao took Ning Qiu's hand and pleaded bitterly, "Honey, I also want to go to the town."
He seldom goes to the town. I heard that there are many interesting things in the town, and he also wants to see it.
"No." Ning Qiu refused, this time she had other things to do in town.
But thinking that the cheap little grandson has been good for the past two days, she just said: "When I come back, you will read twenty words, and I will bring snacks for you to eat."
Zhang Dabao's eyes lit up, and he immediately put forward the condition, "Then I want rock candied haws, and two strings!"
In the world of children, toys and snacks are what they want most, simple and pure.
Ning Qiu nodded, "Yes."
There are Zhang Congming and Zhang Xiaohong who went with her to the town. They both went to see the pen, ink and paper, as well as the fabrics needed by their daughter's family. After all, they are going to school. Be decent in front of your peers, and parents will not be stingy.
There is an ox cart at the entrance of the village. It is specially designed to pull the nearby villagers into the town.
In their village, there are not many cows in total. The driver of the ox cart is Zhang Shenggen.
"Aunt, you are going to town today too." Zhang Shenggen waved a thin whip, his dark face smiled and showed his big white teeth, full of simplicity and honesty.
Ning Qiu came out late, this is already the third trip he has made to go back and forth. After all, in the town, everyone is going to buy things or sell things. Time to work again. Some people go on foot, earlier.
At the moment, there were not many people on the ox cart. Seeing Ning Qiu with her two grandchildren, they greeted them with a smile, and quickly gave up their seats.
"No, this smart kid will start school after the Mid-Autumn Festival. He will go to the town to buy pen and ink for him." Ning Qiu sat down with the help of his eldest grandson. He spoke slowly, although he was only stating the facts, but his smiling expression had a kind of show-off meaning.
Get rid of this habit.
"Your family is smart and has the knowledge of his grandfather back then. They are all very smart. Unlike my family, who has studied for so long and still doesn't know a single big character." The old woman who spoke and Ning Qiu Almost at an old age, the envy in his eyes is true, and looking at Zhang Congming, he can't wait to **** it back.
Why wasn't this prodigy born in her family.
"Where, where, your eldest grandson has inherited his grandfather's skill, and the furniture made is the best." Ning Qiu said modestly, and did not forget to praise other people's grandsons. Sure enough, The old woman laughed even more happily.
As a client, Zhang Congming blushed and was a little embarrassed, but he straightened his back even more, he would not embarrass grandma!
Zhang Xiaohong is a little envious, but she will not be jealous, she knows that as long as the eldest brother is well, their family will be fine in the future! And then, she can also go to the women's school, and she can also make her grandma win glory and win glory for their old Zhang family.
After waiting for a few minutes, after confirming that no one was coming, Zhang Shenggen drove the carriage slowly forward.
Even when she got off the carriage, Zhang Congming carefully supported her, and she was dizzy and weak.
Sister and brother supported one side, Zhang Congming said firmly: "Honey, I will definitely buy the best carriage for you in the future!"
The concept of desire, so act more mature and stable.
After walking a few steps, Ning Qiu calmed down and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait."
If she has this thought, she will accept it, but it is all buried in the loess to the neck, whether it can be seen or not is another matter.
And just as they walked in, a thin man ran over to block the front, he stood a little nervous, respectfully said: "Old lady, the third master is waiting in Yangchun Noodle Shop You, you see that you have time to go there now."
"Let's go." Ning Qiu glanced at him and nodded.
It seems that this third master has more opportunities than she expected. She just stepped into the town, and she immediately knew the news. She must have sent someone to wait for a long time.
The brothers and sisters Zhang Congming looked at each other, but they didn't know who this person was, but since grandma would agree to go, she should have known each other, so she didn't say anything, just followed silently beside her. .
I soon walked to Yangchun Noodle House, there were a few guests, and the third master should know the boss, while smoking the noodles, and chatting hotly.
"Old lady, take your seat." The younger brother wiped the bench with his sleeves, and then stretched out his hand to ask Ning Qiu to sit down. Ning Qiu didn't sit, just glanced at the grandchildren beside him, who had already put it down The third master of chopsticks immediately understood and said to the younger brother: "You ask the two brothers to take them to play. If you want to buy anything, you will take the money I gave you. It is a gift for us to honor the old lady. , I'll take you for a try!"
"Got it!" The younger brother patted his chest and assured.
Zhang Cong Cong didn't move, he glanced at Ning Qiu to ask.
He knew that the old lady had something to do, although she wanted to stay and help, but she also knew that she was too weak and would only do a disservice.
The third master smiled, "Of course."
Having been on the Tao for many years, he doesn't care about this money.
When they left, the third master stood up, walked to Ning Qiu's side, bent over and made a gesture of invitation, and whispered, "Old lady, there are many people outside, please follow I'll go to the inner hall to speak."
There are tables and chairs outside the noodle shop for guests to sit on, but behind the curtain, there is a small cubicle, which is well dressed.
Ning Qiu walked in with him, and there was no need to ask on the way, the third master explained himself, "The owner of the noodle restaurant used to be my brother, but he injured his foot because of saving me, and now he is a little lame , so I found money to open this noodle restaurant for him, and the business has been good for a few years, so I can make a living."
Sometimes he also envies his good brother's current life, peaceful and peaceful, after a while, he will marry a daughter-in-law and go home, give birth to a fat baby, and his life will be very complete.
It's not like he is alone, and he does all the work that touches the tip of a knife, then maybe he will be killed by the enemy that day, and then there will be no relatives who are crying. It's sad to think about.
"You are quite affectionate and righteous." Ning Qiu glanced at him sideways. After the third master took the seat, he glanced around at random, and then set his eyes on the third master.
The third master smiled and said with emotion, "They are brothers who have been born and died for many years, can you ignore them?"
Ning Qiu didn't answer this question, but went straight to the topic, "What happened to what I asked you to do."
She has no interest in listening to other people's stories, boring and long.
