Chapter 48 The War

With three packs of money-free medicine, Xu Xinger is very happy. Now the family is very nervous about money and can save a little.

As soon as she stepped out of the door to Rongtang, she heard the man behind her say, "What's your name?"

Xu Xinger turned around in surprise and saw the coquettish man staring at her and asking. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Should you report yourself before asking someone else's name?"

The coquettish man's eyes darkened and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth, "Chengnan Rongjia, Rong Haoxuan."

"Oh, Xu Jia, Xu Xing'er!" After learning from him, Xu Xinger followed Xu Laosan and disappeared into the stream of people on the street.

When Rong Haoxuan heard the village girl's full name, his face darkened again and turned around with a cold hum. He was just as he saw Ge Xiang stunned by the door and pointed to him and said, "Immediately roll up the burden and leave. Xiang Rongtang dare not use an apprentice like you!"

Ge Xiang was shocked. He knelt down in front of Rong Haoxuan and took two steps forward and said, "Young master, please forgive me this time. I will never dare again."

Rong Haoxuan looked at him and said seriously, "I didn't drive you away for your mistakes, and Xiang Rongtang is not the kind of place that can't tolerate apprentices to make mistakes. I'm driving you because you are arrogant. Obviously, I'm not sure, and I don't know how to find the old gentleman to check it. Fortunately, the guests insisted today, so there is no mistake. If I You know what will happen if you don't come to the store.

Ge Xiang pulled his head and couldn't say a word of rebuttal. It was not until Rong Haoxuan left that he got up from the ground and glanced around at the lively crowd. He didn't see Xu Xinger's back, and a trace of disappointment and resentment flashed in his eyes.

Xu Xinger didn't know these things after she left. She followed Xu Laosan and got into a narrow alley. When she came out again, she found that it was more lively than before. Although the houses on the roadside are just low bungalows, tables, chairs and benches are all over the street. There are people who sell cook cakes on the roadside, those who push the road to sell copyers, and those who kneaded noodles and blow sugar... The shouts at the end of the streets and alleys are warm, and the people who come and go are dressed in ordinary clothes, which is more reassuring than the place just now.

Usually, when Xu Laosan comes to the city by himself, he is full of food and water. He is not willing to spend money on what to eat in the city. However, this time, before taking his daughter into the city, Ye also told him not to be too stingy with the children, so he led people here for lunch.

Xu Laosan looked at the clean stall, and it was not enough to eat at noon, so there were not many people sitting on the stall. He found a table for Xu Xinger to sit down and ordered a bowl of turpent and a bowl of plain noodles.

"You sit here and wait." Xu Laosan made an explanation, and then got up and left by himself.

Xu Xinger looked around curiously and saw a little girl who was not much bigger than her. She was holding a wide-bottomed basket and asked next to the table, "Do you want to try the dishes? They are all made by themselves, clean, delicious and inexpensive."

The little girl's business seems to be good. From time to time, she is stopped to buy things. Many of them seem to be old customers. Xu Xinger heard someone say, "Xiaomei, why didn't you come out the other day? I haven't eaten pickles at your house for two days, and I eat less rice than usual.

Xiaomei picked up vegetables quickly and answered with a smile, "A few days ago, business was good. Several kinds of pickles at home were sold out. Before the newly pickle, she took a two-day break and didn't come out. It makes you think about it. If you eat well, I will come every day in the future."

After waiting for someone to come to her, Xu Xinger quickly reached out and asked, "Little sister, what's delicious in your basket?"

When Xiaomei saw someone asking again, she put the basket on the bench, lifted the blue and white cloth on the top, revealing a few small jars inside, and opened them one by one, "There are pickled cucumbers, mustard heads, dried spicy radish, vinegar ginger, shrimp sauce, and miscellaneous vegetables."

Xu Xinger looked at it. She still knew what the first few were, but in the end, she had never heard of the miscellaneous vegetables, so she asked, "How much are the dried spicy radish and miscellaneous vegetables?"

"It's all two penny a piece." Xiaomei had put out two small plates while she spoke. She picked up her chopsticks in her right hand and looked at Xu Xinger, as if she was asking her if she wanted it.

"Each of these two needs one dish." Xu Xinger felt that it was not expensive, so she nodded and took out four cents of money from her waist and put it on the table. At least she had to taste what others made.

It is said to be two plates, but in fact, the plate is already small, and the dishes picked out are covered with the bottom of the plate.

Xu Xinger picked up a piece of radish and tasted it first. The taste did not stimulate the taste. It was chewy and salty. It was said that it was spicy dried radish, and it was indeed dotted with some red peppers, but it did not taste spicy, but it also had the earthy smell of the radish itself.

She tasted some more miscellaneous vegetables. This tasted slightly better, but it was also very salty. Xu Xinger carefully distinguished it and could only taste the mashed ginger and garlic in it, as well as trivial leeks, snowy buns and other things, which was a good thing to eat.

"Small bowl of wonton, big bowl of plain noodles is coming!" The stall owner walked through the table, chair and bench with one bowl in one hand, which did not affect the speed at all. The bowl in his hand did not even splash out any soup, which was really a good hand.

The things were brought to the table, and Xu Laosan also came back sweating. He held a face in his left hand and a sugar painting in his right hand. After sitting down, he found a crack on the table and inserted it firmly before wiping his sweat and said, "Let's eat raw food first. Keep this to eat on the way back to relieve boredom."

"Dad has been tired all morning. Hurry up and eat." Xu Xinger handed the wet towel to Xu Laosan, and pushed the plain noodles and side dishes in front of him, "I took this back to Taoer. How old am I still eating this?"

Xu Laosan took the towel and wiped his face and neck, and finally rubbed his hands. He grabbed his chopsticks and said, "Eat it quickly. It's not good to be soaked." I felt a little sad when I saw the two dishes, but I still didn't say anything. I thought that if I came out again next time, it would be better to bring some pickles by myself.

Both of them were hungry. After eating the food in the bowl, Xu Xinger felt that she was full enough after drinking half a bowl of soup. Xu Laosan drank the noodle soup in the bowl in one breath. Seeing that there were still two pieces of dried radishes left on the plate, he was reluctant to waste it and ate it empty. As a result, she was overwhelmed and found a stall to drink more than half of the bowl of noodle soup. I just recovered.

The two of them had enough to eat and drink, strolled around the city for a while, bought some necessities at home, and then went out of the city to go home.

Xu Xinger held up her face and sugar painting all the way. Unfortunately, it is summer now. The sun is hanging bright above her head, releasing light and heat without hesitation. The sugar painting begins to soften in a short time and will soon melt away.

Seeing that it was going to be wasted, she had to take three or two bites to solve the sugar painting, carefully wrapped the man in a veil, and put it in a place where she could not bask in the sun. At least bring one back to Taoer.

As soon as the ox cart drove into the entrance of the village, there were already good villagers shouting, "Xu Laosan, go home quickly. Your family is split!"

"Is it a separation?" Xu Laosan opened his mouth in surprise. That day, he did say that he wanted to separate. Although the old man Xu did not scold himself, he did not nod and agree. After that, Mrs. Xu ran back to his mother's house. He wanted to say it again when Mrs. Xu came back and the whole family was together, but today he was not at home. How could he quarrel? Come on, family business.

Thinking of this, Xu Laosan raised a whip and slapped the cow's buttocks. Old Newton suddenly accelerated his speed. The noise in the old yard spread far away and could be faintly heard at the intersection.

When the ox cart stopped at the door, he heard Li's voice shouting sharply: "Dad, anyway, the separation was proposed by Lao San first. We helped him raise his daughter-in-law and daughter for so many years. Instead of saying that he was grateful to his sister-in-law, he wanted to hide far away when he heard that the second brother owed money. We were not willing to accept this cowardice. Just divide it."

Xu Laosan frowned when he heard this. What is this and what? I did say that I wanted to separate, but what does it have to do with my second brother owes money?

Xu Xinger has guessed most of this. Although Li is a firecracker, she is not a fool after all. She also speaks in a reasonable and favorable direction for her own family. Obviously, she is afraid that Ye's illness will drag down her family, and now she still has to speak in a high-sounding way.

She jumped out of the car, pushed the door and entered the courtyard and said, "The second aunt's words are really nice. There are indeed many children in my family, but when the husband's milk is divided according to the labor of each family. At most, when we eat together on New Year's Day, my family has a larger population, but in the past, there were four people in my family, and your family was also four. Your family can eat more than my family. Why do you feel that your hometown is unfair now?

"What's wrong with you, my lord!" As soon as Li saw Xu Xinger again, she suddenly turned black. She had brought some acting elements before. At this time, she really felt that this family was inseparable.

"I'm just not worth it. The milk takes all the money from the family to pay off the second uncle. My mother has to borrow money from the doctor and medicine. Now the second aunt has to split up. Then I have to ask if the money should also be included in the accounts of the division. At that time, it will be clear that the second aunt will return it to us. How much are several? Xu Xinger said without leaving any face for Li.

"You..." Li was asked.

Only then did Chen know that she only knew that someone was looking for debts from the second family, but she found the wrong door and scared the third daughter-in-law. Now after listening to Xu Xinger's words, she knew that the old lady had filled the hole for the second brother with the money from her family. No wonder she quarreled with the old man and went back to her mother's house.

Thinking of this, Chen said, "Sister-in-law, don't mention the separation of the family anymore. Look how angry the old man is."

Li didn't expect that Chen was still standing in the same camp with her. After listening to Xu Xinger's words, she immediately changed the direction and said urgently, "Sister-in-law, you don't know what's wrong with Xing'er's mother. You have to use ginseng in every medicine! My good boy, she thought she was a mother, and she also had ginseng? How much money at home is enough to fill her bottomless hole.
