Chapter 170: Entering the Yard to Appreciate Flowers
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "She has a lot to do in a day."
Aunt Liu had something else to do at home, so she could only hurriedly say to Shi Xiaoliu, "Wait until Xiaolan is free, and ask her to call me, and we'll go watch the fun together."
Shi Xiaoliu agreed with a smile, then turned to tell Shi Zelan about Aunt Liu's appointment with her.
Shi Zelan's eyes suddenly brightened after hearing this: "Great, I'll go tell Master first."
She quickly skipped over to find Master Shanzheng, and then quickly skipped back.
"Xiao Liu, after we have breakfast, I will go talk to Aunt Liu."
Before Shi Xiaoliu could answer, Shi Zelan had already rushed to the kitchen. Soon there was a column of smoke above the kitchen, and then there were the sounds of pots and pans colliding.
When Xia Yu came to the front yard, he heard the noise in the kitchen and said to Shi Xiaoliu, "When we move to live nearby, will the kitchen be this noisy in the morning?"
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, “No need.
In fact, as long as we don’t behave in a way that is out of tune with the lives of the people around us, our neighbors will not be too concerned about the lives of other people’s families. ”
"Then why did Sister Lan deliberately make such a fuss when you guys have three meals a day normally?"
Shi Xiaoliu listened to Xia Yu's words and smiled: "She likes to make such a commotion. She said that this is the nature of the world of fireworks."
Xia Yu said he didn't understand. With such time, he would rather meditate for a while longer.
After breakfast, Shi Zelan was about to open the yard door when she heard Aunt Liu calling her from outside the yard.
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Lan, are you free this time?"
Shi Zelan opened the courtyard door and said with a smile on her face, "I'm free."
Then she called towards the kitchen: "Xiao Liu, Auntie needs help."
Shi Xiaoliu came out of the kitchen and looked at Aunt Liu at the gate of the yard: "Aunt, what's the matter?"
Aunt Liu looked at Shi Xiaoliu carefully and clapped her hands: "Okay, you brothers and sisters can go to other people's houses to appreciate the flowers."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances quickly. After hearing Aunt Liu tell them the place, they looked at Aunt Liu with excitement: "Aunt, you are so kind."
Aunt Liu laughed twice: "I want to join in the fun, but unfortunately other families require young men and women, preferably unmarried men and women."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan heard her and quickly said, "We still have unmarried men in our family."
"Old people can't do it." Aunt Liu quickly added.
"Not much. He is younger than me."
Shi Xiaoliu went to the backyard to look for Xia Yu, while Shi Zelan stood at the gate of the yard talking to Aunt Liu.
"I have finished my work at home. I will go with you in a moment. It will be enough to rent a carriage."
"Then the car rental fee for our trip out."
"There are many people coming from my family, so we will charge the car rental fee based on the number of people."
When Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu came out, Shi Zelan and Aunt Liu had already discussed renting a carriage.
Uncle Liu from Aunt Liu's family got up early and went out. He took his two daughters-in-law and two daughters with him, and they met a mother and son on the way.
At the intersection, they rented a horse carriage, which was really crowded.
On the way, the two aunts chatted and laughed cheerfully, while the people around them were just hoping that the carriage would reach its destination soon.
After the carriage turned left, it began to slow down. After moving forward for a distance, it stopped again.
The two aunts stopped talking and looked out the car windows: "Wow, why are there so many cars on this street, and why are there so many people on the road."
"Hurry up, there's a long line in front, and people are restricted from entering and leaving."
“Didn’t they say they wanted to do good deeds for the old lady?
Their family took the initiative to invite us in to appreciate the flowers. When we all arrived, the host wanted to divide us into different groups. ”
"Hmph, the elderly can enter, the middle-aged are not allowed to enter, and the young can enter."
The two aunts touched their faces and said to the people in the car, "We won't queue with you for a while."
The driver shouted outside for a long time, but the carriage was still stuck.
He had to discuss with the people in the carriage: "This place is not far from where you want to go, are you getting off the carriage here?
Or wait in the car a little longer? ”
After discussing it, the two aunts decided to walk over and gave two less copper coins when paying the fare.
Shi Zelan pinched three copper coins and gave them to Aunt Liu, indicating that after the three of them enjoyed the flowers, they would continue to play outside for a while, and they would not make an appointment to go back together.
After hearing this, the two aunts also said that they also wanted to go to the street to buy things. After arriving at the place, everyone lined up.
After the two aunts finished their instructions, they quickly squeezed into the crowd. Shi Zelan followed closely behind them, and Shi Xiaoliu took the initiative to walk at the back.
They lined up at the back of the team. The two aunts looked back at everyone and then lined up directly behind Shi Xiaoliu.
Shi Zelan took two steps forward, just in time to block the person who was trying to cut in line.
The team moved slowly forward. When Shi Zelan and his group reached the front, they could finally see the gate of the host's yard. Half an hour had passed.
Xia Yu conveyed a message to Shi Zelan: "We won't be appreciating the flowers with them for a while."
"Okay." Shi Zelan replied briefly. As for whether they could act separately, it depended on the size of the yard where the old lady lived.
Time passed so slowly. Shi Zelan and his group finally lined up at the gate of the courtyard, but the old woman in front of them was arguing with the person who was letting them in, blocking the way in.
“You said I’m younger than your old lady, so I can’t go in and enjoy the flowers today. I accept it.
But my daughter-in-law is young, why can't she come in? ”
Shi Zelan looked at the young woman standing in a room crying with a handkerchief covering her face, and heard the servant say unhappily, "It's a good day, but she has a bitter face. She must have been forced to come here by you, her mother-in-law."
"What nonsense! Apologize to the guests quickly." As soon as he finished speaking, a manager came over and scolded the servant.
The waiter apologized to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the steward said to the people in line, "There are too many people inside, please wait outside."
Shi Zelan reached out and rubbed her nose. The floral scent was so strong, an extremely intense flavor.
A look of annoyance flashed across Xia Yu's eyes. He thought to himself that his father would not do anything to harm others, and the flowers in the yard were too fragrant.
Some people came out of the yard and discussed excitedly: "The flowers are really beautiful, but it's a pity that there are too many people and we don't have time to take a closer look."
Shi Zelan saw the steward blocking the gate of the courtyard, turned around and said to the servant who rushed over: "Wait until more people come out, then let the first twenty in."
The steward turned around and walked inside. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law accepted the servant's apology, they still wanted to go in and appreciate the flowers.
The servant politely declined: “Aunt, wait a day or two and see if the conditions for release will change.
I've already spoiled your mood today. You won't be in the mood to appreciate the flowers when you go in. You'd better wait a day or two before coming back. ”
When Shi Zelan and his group entered the yard, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood at the door and refused to leave. They thought their trip would not be in vain.
