"Thank you, girl. You are so kind." The lady selling insoles took the mung bean soup and thanked.
"Auntie, you're welcome. If you feel thirsty later, just come to my stall and drink." After Jiang Sui said this, he went to deliver it to other vendors.
There was also a lady selling flowery hairbands on the street, who looked to be about the same age as Zhou, around twenty years old.
She drank the mung bean soup and picked a pink peace locket tassel for Jiang Sui:
"Thank you for the mung bean soup. This ear of corn is for you. Hang it on your body as a toy to play with."
Jiang Sui was not shy. He took the tassel and examined it carefully. He liked it very much and decided to give it to Lanlan.
"Sister, you have really skillful hands. This ear of corn is really beautiful."
"As long as you like it." The sister spoke very gently.
Jiang Sui and she got along well, so they chatted for a while. Jiang Sui also learned that this sister's surname was Song and people on the street called her Madam Song.
Miss Song can make many styles of flower headbands and tassels to hang around the waist as accessories, all of which are hand-woven. She is really skillful.
There was a young man selling bamboo hats and an old man selling lanterns next to the Xiao family's stall. Jiang Sui gave them all some mung bean soup.
All of a sudden, the relationships between everyone became closer. They were all doing business on the same street, so they should improve their relationships and help each other.
At this time, an old woman walked past the stall. She was in tattered clothes, had a hunched back and a head full of white hair.
She saw a sign on the Xiao family's stall that said they had free green bean soup. After hesitating for a while, she walked over to ask Xiao's mother:
"Big sister, can I drink the mung bean soup here?" she asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Mother Xiao glanced at the old woman and then smiled:
"Of course you can, old sister. Come in and get out of the sun. I'll make you a bowl right away."
After getting consent, the old woman walked into the shed.
The mung bean soup was still a little hot and just the right amount of flavor.
The old woman seemed to have been thirsty for a long time. She picked up the mung bean soup and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing it, she seemed to still not feel satisfied. Xiao's mother added another scoop for her. She thanked her repeatedly and drank it all in one gulp again. When she left, she thanked her repeatedly.
Jiang Sui also took the opportunity of delivering mung bean soup to take a stroll on the street. He found that Boss He's business was quite good today and the stall was full of people.
When I got closer, I found that they also put up a sign, following Jiang Sui's idea, which said that for three consecutive days, the noodles at He Ji Noodle Stall would only cost five cents.
This is a bit too blatant.
Jiang Sui was a little speechless, but she happened to hear a customer who had finished his noodles paying and coming out, muttering to his companions.
"This noodle is cheap, but the taste is just average, not as good as the hot and sour rice noodles at the end of the street. The meat inside doesn't have much flavor either. The meat sauce in the hot and sour rice noodles is still delicious."
"That's right, I might as well spend five cents on a bowl of vegetarian hot and sour noodles."
"That mixed noodle is delicious too. It's just right for such a hot day."
Hearing this, Jiang Sui's originally depressed mood suddenly became cheerful.
She thought to herself, you guys can learn it, but no matter how hard you try, it won’t taste as good as her hot and sour noodles, and there’s no point in trying these little tricks.
After all, there is no harm without comparison.
…
Later that night, the sun was about to set and Xiao Yi had not returned yet.
But logically speaking, he had been gone for most of the day and it was time for him to come back. Xiao's mother was very worried. Her right eyelid had been twitching since the afternoon, and she was afraid that something had happened.
Since Xiao Yi hadn't come back, she couldn't close her stall and go home, as she was still waiting for him to drive the ox cart.
Just when she was extremely anxious, she saw Xiao Yi's figure from afar.
He walked closer slowly, but he looked distraught. He took back the meat and eggs in his hands intact.
When Xiao's mother and Jiang Sui saw this, they felt something was wrong.
"Child, what's wrong with you? Why are you carrying things back?" Xiao's mother asked anxiously.
Xiao Yi had his head down originally, but when he heard the words he raised his head, his eyes were red and there was a wound at the corner of his mouth, which scared Xiao's mother.
"Mom, what's wrong with you, third brother?"
When Xiao Yi saw his mother's face, he felt wronged for a moment, and his voice trembled:
"Mother...child...the child is gone!"
What?
This sentence hit Xiao's mother on the head without any context, making her a little confused. What does it mean that the child is gone?
"What do you mean the child is gone? Stop being such a pessimist. Bah! Bah! Bah!" She didn't want to think the worst.
"Mom, Liu killed the child!" When Xiao Yi said this, his tone was filled with despair, and tears rolled down his face.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but he was really heartbroken.
Mother Xiao staggered back two steps and almost lost her balance. Her face turned pale in an instant. Fortunately, Jiang Sui supported her.
Jiang Sui was also shocked when he heard the news. How could the child be lost out of nowhere?
You know, the baby is more than five months old and the fetus is already firmly seated.
"Third brother, what happened?"
Jiang Sui had to find out the whole story.
After hearing this, Xiao Yi started talking about what happened when he went to Liu's place today.
Today, he went to Liu's house happily, carrying meat and eggs. The two had been quarreling for more than a month. He thought that he should be nicer, take his wife home, and tell her about the family business to make her happy. Maybe she would be willing to go home with him.
As a result, when he arrived at Liu's village, those who knew him shook their heads and sighed when they saw him, which made Xiao Yi have a bad feeling.
