Sister Jin's husband and brother-in-law came in with a group of men and women.
They were speaking in dialect, but their eyes were looking at Qian Lili and the others unscrupulously.
Qian Lili felt that these people were very rude. The men were staring at their faces and breasts, and even the old ladies were staring at their butts without blinking.
These people were making a lot of noise for a long time. Sister Jin translated with a smile, "They said we have guests at my house, and they want to join in the fun too.
We ethnic minorities are all guests, and we will kill the sheep and eat them later."
As soon as Sister Jin finished speaking, her husband dragged a black goat out of the sheep pen.
The men cheered and went to the yard to help slaughter the sheep, while the women sat around the fire pit.
When the crowd parted, Qian Lili discovered that the people sitting down were all old ladies.
They all took out their pipes from their waistbands. For a moment, the whole fire pit was filled with the smell of smoke and sweat. Qian Lili was choked and coughed.
It's not that she is being pretentious, it's just that there are too many people smoking dry tobacco.
She stood up and walked to the door. The men who were slaughtering sheep in the yard turned around and looked at her. Their burning eyes scared Qian Lili so much that she was at a loss.
She decided to stay back in the house. When she turned around, she found Sister Jin standing behind her, which really scared her.
Sister Jin patted Qian Lili's shoulder and said, "Lili, these aunts usually like to smoke dry tobacco. They don't think it's choking, but we can't stand it.
I have already told them to finish the cigarette in the pipe and not smoke anymore.
Please bear with it for a while."
Qian Lili nodded and went in to find Sister Chen.
Sister Chen and Sun Lan were kneading the dough, and Qian Lili couldn't help but whispered, "Didn't you knead it just now?
Why are you rubbing it again?"
Sister Chen said with a smile, "There aren't many people here. Sister Jin said it's not enough, so she asked us to make another bowl of noodles."
When Qian Lili saw Sister Jin's mother digging out a pile of roasted potatoes from the fire pit, she also went over and took three and sat aside to peel them.
Sister Chen and Sun Lan didn't want to eat it, so Qian Lili peeled it and ate it with chili powder.
She has never eaten mutton since she was a child, so these three potatoes are just enough to fill her stomach.
The old ladies showed no sign of stopping smoking their pipes, and the room became increasingly choking.
Qian Lili looked at her hands which were blackened from peeling potatoes, and quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
Sister Jin immediately caught up with her, "Lili, where are you going?"
Qian Lili shook her hand and said, "Sister Jin, I'll go wash my hands in the ditch outside and come back."
Sister Jin pointed to the yard and said, "Just go over there and wash."
Qian Lili sniffed and said, "No, they're picking the mutton now. The smell is too strong. I'd better go outside and wash it."
Qian Lili said this as she walked out the door and came to the small ditch on the side of the road.
The water in this ditch should be the melted snow from the mountain. It is so clear that you can see it clearly. When you put your hand in it, it feels cold to the bone.
Sister Jin also followed and stood behind her, watching Qian Lili wash her hands and then scoop some water to wash her mouth.
The two of them then went back together.
Sister Chen kneaded the dough and wanted to go to the toilet, so Qian Lili took her there.
The two of them walked out the door. Seeing that Sister Jin didn't follow, Qian Lili whispered to Sister Chen, "Sister Chen, do you remember asking Sister Jin what the name of their county town was?"
Sister Chen smiled and said, "I think it's called Mashan County?"
Qian Lili pointed to the large slogan on the wall and said, "This says Fulin County."
Sister Chen looked at it and said, "I can't read. Lili, what do you mean?"
Qian Lili was also confused, "I don't know, why did Sister Jin lie to us?
She won't sell us out, will she?"
Sister Chen burst out laughing, "How is that possible?
We are both so old now, who should we sell it to?
They only sell the young and pretty ones. Who would spend money on two of us yellow-faced women?"
After hearing what Sister Chen said, Qian Lili felt that she was a little too vigilant.
"You're right. How could anyone want a woman like us with a yellow face?"
"A-choo!" Someone sneezed in the toilet next door.
Qian Lili came out of the bathroom and looked thoughtfully at the closed fence door next door.
She and Sister Chen walked towards the gate, chatting and laughing.
"Oh no, Sister Chen, a button fell off my dress."
Sister Chen asked her, "Did you drop it in the toilet?"
"I'll go look for it." Qian Lili turned and walked towards the toilet.
Sun Lan came out of the toilet next door and closed the fence door behind her. "Sister Qian, didn't you just go to the toilet?"
Qian Lili told her, "Sun Lan, my button fell off. I'll go in and look for it."
She went into the toilet but couldn't find it. "Oh, I'll go look in the ditch."
Sun Lan also wanted to wash her hands, so Qian Lili took her with her. Sister Chen was afraid of the cold, so she went into the house alone.
Qian Lili and the other two came to the ditch. Sun Lan looked around and then whispered, "Sister Qian, I always feel like something is wrong.
Do you think Sister Jin is reliable?
Qian Lili's heart skipped a beat. "Sun Lan, isn't Sister Jin the one you know best?"
