Jiang Cheng nodded: "This is true."
He turned to look at his little cousin and said, "I'm not just talking about the shop, but also about Chen Guanglu. I saw him a while ago."
Yingbao blinked: "He came to our shop to look for trouble?"
"He doesn't dare to do this yet." Jiang Cheng said: "I still know a few fast-moving yamen servants here. Jin Wu was promoted to the head catcher, and his grandson even recognized your sister-in-law as his godmother."
Yingbao was a little surprised.
The hall sister-in-law is only in her twenties, so she is going to be a godmother?
Qiu Rong said with a smile: "Jin Wu's daughter-in-law gave birth to several children in the past few years, but they all disappeared. Last year, she gave birth to a big fat boy. She insisted on recognizing me as her godmother. She also said that the master in the temple had made a prediction and asked his family to give birth to him. The child looks for someone named Zhao to be his godmother, and then someone named Qiu. Zhao means to cover the child. Qiu is regarded as a prisoner and will not let the child go. "
This was the first time Yingbao heard such a statement, and she couldn't laugh or cry.
Hong Xiao said with a smile: "My second brother also has a godmother. Her surname is Leng. She was also approved by the master. It is said that my second brother has a horoscope of fire, so he needs to find a godmother whose horoscope is water, or find someone whose surname is Leng. Okay, my second brother’s godmother’s surname is Leng.”
Erni couldn’t stop giggling when she heard this, making Zhang Yuying blush.
“I want you to talk too much!” Yuying glared at her sister, took a piece of chicken liver to Zhang Xiaolang and said, “Eat quickly, I will teach you how to write after dinner.”
Zhang Xiaolang nodded, his eyebrows creasing with a smile.
He wanted to live here with his second brother for the rest of his life and never go back to that home again.
After dinner, Jiang Cheng took his wife and son home.
Jiang Yunniang closed the courtyard door, walked around the yard again, fed Xiao Hei some food, then washed up and went back to her room to rest.
Yingbao and Erni were lying on the same bed, looking at the moon in the sky through the linen curtains and window lattice, and listened to Erni talking about things at home.
“Ying Bao, you don’t know that there is a Zhi Niang who almost made the third aunt so angry that she vomited blood.”
Yingbao: "?"
“Why is my mother so angry?”
“Hey! I’m telling you, when you go back, act like you don’t know anything. Don’t say it was me who told you.”
“What’s going on?” Yingbao pushed Sister Erni.
Erni waved the cattail leaf fan with one hand, her thighs crossed on the other legs, and said slowly: "That Zhi Niang is very pretty, but she doesn't learn well. She also has a husband and children, but she pesters her third uncle in this way and that all day long. She is beaten by her third aunt. Driven home."
Yingbao's face twitched and she asked, "What's this and that?" Is dad cuckolding my mother-in-law?
Erni patted her little cousin with a cattail leaf fan and said, "Children, don't ask so many questions."
“Didn’t you tell me that?” She wanted to know if her father had made a mistake.
Erni was at a loss for words, but she quickly made a scene and said, "Okay, okay, I'll show you."
Then she lowered her voice and imitated the woman's speech, with a delicate voice: "Ms. Jiang, my hand is broken. Ming Gong, do my clothes look good..."
Erni imitated the woman’s words and couldn’t help but giggle.
Ying Bao didn't find it funny and kept pushing Er Ni: "You should tell me what my father's reaction was."
Erni laughed for a while and said, "Third uncle said that you had a leek leaf stuck to your tooth, and then the weaver girl ran away."
ˆ Yingbao:······
Daddy is indeed a daddy, and there is no need to use the word degradingly to bury or kill anyone.
The next day, Yingbao got up early to wash up, and then took Xiao Hei out for a spin to let him have some fun.
Auntie got up earlier than she did and had already set up a food stall under the bamboo shed built next to the shop.
And Xiao Lang was also helping the guests, serving porridge and holding chopsticks.
When the guests finish the porridge, he will take the bowls and chopsticks to a wooden basin and wash them.
Half of the people who came to have breakfast were students from the county school across the street. They had just returned to the county school after their busy farming vacation. They probably had more money, so most of them came out to have breakfast.
At the roadside, there are many people selling breakfast like Jiang Yunniang, and there are also people eating next to the stalls at the moment. Yingbao actually saw a good-looking man eating wontons at another wonton stall. It was his biological father Chen Changping.
He was wearing a square scarf and a blue robe reserved for students. He was clearly in his thirties, but he looked much younger than he actually was.
The person next to him seemed to be his classmate, talking to him while eating wontons.
Ying Bao quietly passed by them and heard them talk about going to Fucheng for a rural trial this fall.
When I got home, I saw Sister Erni making breakfast, so Yingbao went to help light the fire.
“Sister Erni, will you go back with me?” she asked.
Erni was kneading the dough and steaming the steamed buns, and said, "I won't go back. When I go back, they will say goodbye to me again. I'm really annoyed."
ˆ Yingbao:······
Okay, when my second cousin comes back, I will go back alone.
But Master may also want to go to Chuanhe Town. He said that last time he just passed by for a casual look, and this time he wanted to live in the village for a while to understand the living conditions of the villagers.
Erni kneaded two trays of steamed buns and let them rise for a while before steaming them.
The noodles were fermented by my aunt Jiang Yunniang before dawn. She used part of it to make meatloaf, and left the rest in the kitchen for Erni to steam the steamed buns and eat them at home.
After breakfast, Yingbao went to the medical office accompanied by Sister Erni.
Master and senior brother are still very busy and are not at the hospital. Only the second senior brother is guarding the courtyard alone.
Ying Bao found that all the fruit seedlings she planted had grown taller, and the grapes had even climbed onto the vines and were quite lush, but they had not yet blossomed or produced fruit.
"Little junior sister, why are you back today?" Zhang Min sat by the ditch, bored and pumping the water with a willow stick, "Master and senior brother went to Jinding Mountain and won't be back until tomorrow."
Ying Bao: "I just came back to ask if you are going to Chuanhe Town? If not, I will leave by myself."
“Go, go, go! Why don’t you go?” Zhang Min jumped up immediately with a flattering smile on his face: “I want to go and see your lychee forest and the deer garden.”
The junior sister always brags to him when she has nothing to do, saying how wonderful her hometown is, a thousand times better than the bitter and cold place in Jingzhou.
He wanted to see if that remote mountain village was what she said.
Ying Bao knew at a glance what the second senior brother wanted to do, so she did not expose him. She pointed at Sister Erni and said, "This is my second cousin. She has also studied medicine. Do you think she can study in a medical department?" ?”
Zhang Min scratched his head and said, "You have to ask the master about this. As long as he agrees, you can enter any of the two departments of the medical department."
“Okay, I will ask the master when he comes back.”
Yingbao turned to Erni and said, "We won't go back to the shop today, so we can save the time of running back and forth."
It was a hot day, and there was a pile of large ice cubes in her cave that she could not take out. She was anxious.
It was different when I returned to the medical office.
No one dares to visit the Yin Yang Branch. As long as I make the fruit pulp ice drink in the cave, I can take it out quietly.
“Yeah.” Erni nodded.
In fact, she envied her junior sister for being able to study medicine in a place like this. If she could also be a student, she would definitely study hard and not be as ignorant as before.
Then Ying Bao and Er Ni took the shade in the pavilion next to the ditch while watching the second senior brother taking a bath in the ditch.
Zhang Minju poured water over and said angrily: "What's going on with you two? Don't you know the difference between men and women? I'm taking a shower..."
Yingbao: "We were here first."
Erni said nothing, but she supported her little cousin.
Zhang Min pointed at the two of them and wanted to say something else, when he suddenly saw a group of people walking in.
The one who was headed turned out to be Xiao Chengjun.
