Chapter 92 Eccentric Eyes

The blacksmith shop in Xuejiaji was very efficient. An Xu thought that he would not be able to get the stove today, but he did not expect that it would be ready in the middle of the afternoon.

Nearly ten catties of iron stove, iron money plus manual money, is three taels of silver.

An Xu was very satisfied with the stove, paid the money readily, and left in the polite voice of the shopkeeper, "Come back for whatever you want to do in the future".

It was already dark when we got home, Zong Che came out and said, "Next time you go out and come back so late, call me along."

After everything was done, An Xu was in a good mood, agreed: "Understood", and then asked: "Have you eaten yet?"

"I'm waiting for you to eat together," Zong Che said, "I cook the rice, and the dishes are steamed croquettes you made earlier."

An Xu had already come to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot, and saw that the couscous inside was still covered with shredded shallots that had been yellowed by the steam, and they were finely chopped.

It's not in vain to watch me cook during this time.

An Xu smiled and said, "Let's serve dinner. I'll come back late in the future, so you guys eat first."

In the early morning of the third day of junior high school, my aunt came to the entrance of the village to wait without even having a meal. When she met a relative who was leaving, she was asked why she was here, and she smiled vaguely.

Just as the sun was rising, An Hanhai came out of the village in a car.

"Ma'am, you are waiting for someone."

The aunt smiled, "Wait, Han Hai, what are you doing here?"

An Hanhai said: "Isn't this going to be a business? The relatives at home are gone, so I'll go to see the shop first."

The aunt scolded in her heart: You are the smart one, but the smile on her face was even brighter: "Okay, let's go."

The fifth day of the new year has not yet passed, and there are intermittent people at the entrance of the village, who go back to their mother's house and come to their mother's house.

The little stone in the middle came over and called grandma to eat, and the uncle waved him to go home.

It was not until the sun was high on the branches that the uncle saw her a daughter, who was the eldest daughter she had been waiting for.

Anxi is 32 this year. She got married at the age of 16 and gave birth to her eldest son. Now even her second son has reached the age to discuss marriage. She has six sons in total, the youngest is only nine years old. This time she came with her grandma's house.

The family of three was walking, and the children saw the grandma standing at the entrance of the village from a distance, pointing to tell their parents, and then ran forward with the package in their hands.

"It's not easy for you, don't bring something every time you come."

Approaching, looking at the eldest daughter who looked older than the last time we met, the uncle's heart was sore.

Married to such a worthless seed, she will work harder than others all her life.

The aunt couldn't help it, she glanced at the eldest son-in-law, grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Come on, follow me to your cousin's house."

An likes to be curious, she has several cousins, who is the mother talking about?

The aunt said: "Who else can it be? Your fourth uncle's big girl."

"Da Ni," Anxi asked, "Mom, I heard people in the village say that Da Ni is now doing business by the official road north of Xuejiaji, and the business is pretty good."

The aunt said: "It's not bad, it's so good. She also recognized a brother who was a scholar, and together with the boy Zong who was raised in her family, she also won a scholar this time. I see that she will probably be an official in the future." Ma'am?"

An Xi smiled and said, "Sister Dani is lucky. Mom, why don't we go home first?"

"No need," the auntie said, looking at the boy who was also following, "Xiao Liu, give me the gift in your hand."

Immediately afterwards, he said to his daughter: "Give these to Dani. I asked her for a prescription for you, 15 taels of silver, and I will give it to you later. Don't tell the others at home, especially It's your second sister. Got it?"

Anxi was puzzled, unable to laugh or cry: "Mother, what are you doing? What kind of prescription, money?"

The aunt said: "You will know when you go." Turning her head inadvertently, she saw the eldest son-in-law following silently, and asked, "Why don't you go home and follow me?"

She spent money to buy a foundation for her daughter, and she never thought about letting her eldest son-in-law learn it too.

Anxi said: "Mom, don't always talk to the child's father like this. We all went to Da Ni's house. What do you say if you let him go back alone?"

"Then follow along," the aunt frowned and said, "Be smarter later, don't watch what you shouldn't."

Xiao Liu looked at his father who was as silent as an old scalper, walked over to hold his father's hand, and replied, "Grandma, we know."

The aunt was so angry that she wanted to scold again, but in fact she wanted to scold herself even more. It was the lame eye that married the girl to such a rigid and dull person.

Anxi took her mother's hand. The old mother felt sorry for herself, but she felt that life is good now. Although the man is a little less capable, he knows the basics.

"Da Ni, I brought your cousin here."

Uncle Madam arrived before the sound, everything was ready, An Xu had just arrived in the room not long ago, when he heard the shouts from outside, he hurriedly pressed the panties that he had sewed a few stitches under the quilt, got up and came out.

Before seeing the eldest sister, An Xu never thought that the other party was a middle-aged woman who looked a few years younger than the uncle's mother.

Looking at the weather-stained woman whom the auntie had been holding tightly to, An Xu called out hesitantly: "Madam sister."

Anxi sighed happily, and said, "Dani, it's been a long time."

An Xu nodded, "Uncle, sister, sit in your room."

An Chong came over to say hello, An Xi smiled and said, "Chong'er has grown so tall." Then she paid for it, "Eldest sister doesn't have much, I'll give you two pennies to buy candy."

An Chong didn't want it, but couldn't bear it, the aunt took it and stuffed it into his hand.

An Chong looked at his sister, An Xu smiled and said, "Take it."

Then, as a courtesy, she also gave five cents to the children of the elder sister's family.

It stands to reason that if the child called her and Xiao Chong aunt and uncle, they should give money.

Anxi smiled embarrassedly: "Why are you still shopping around for your money?"

An Xu smiled and invited them to sit inside.

As for An Chong, he thought he was a man in the family, so he went to greet his cousin and husband, and invited him to sit in his room. A big plate of good tea, snacks, and sweets was brought over.

In the room, the auntie who hadn't had a few sips of the teacup almost jumped up, "How can I let your eldest brother-in-law learn too? This is the livelihood I found for your eldest sister. Da Ni, you don't know it when you are young, God The men below are not allowed to give him money, man, you can endure hardships with him. But when he has money, he will give it to the little fairies outside in the blink of an eye. This skill should be mastered by your eldest sister, so that you can Take hold of him, and don't dare to mess around in the future."

"It requires more physical strength." An Xu didn't expect my aunt to say such a thing, but indeed, my aunt's insights in this area are very profound. "My aunt has seen the rice flower candy made during the Chinese New Year, right?" , I thought that the rice was completely popped, and the rice cracker candy made must be more delicious, so I went to the town yesterday and asked someone to make a stove."

The aunt looked at her eldest girl, and listened to An Xu's next words with patience.

"This rice crunchy candy should be made well. It's more important to boil the sugar later." An Xu said, "I have a way to make the rice crunchy candy crispy and not easy to melt. Just teach my eldest sister that."

"It's okay." The aunt said reluctantly: "It's better to let him take advantage."

An Xu didn't know if there was a deeper reason why the auntie was so dissatisfied with the brother-in-law, so she persuaded her: "The elder sister and the elder brother-in-law are husband and wife. If you keep being so defensive, it may backfire in the end."

Auntie: The An family is like this, reading a few books and reading them.

But I have to admit in my heart that what Dani said makes sense.

Anxi took her mother's hand and said, "Mother, my sister Dani understands, that's what I think. No matter how good he is, he is also the father of my children."

"I still feel sorry for you?" The aunt said to her daughter with a dark face, "Let's not say whether you can do it, just give birth to six sons for his Sun family, it's not too much for him to treat you like an aunt. But he As for Sun Fuman, he has a strange name, and his family is extremely poor. Look at you, you are only in your early thirties, and you look older than my old lady."

After speaking, the auntie couldn't help sobbing in her voice.

Anxi patted her mother's back lightly. She didn't feel bitter at all, but life at home was not easy. Her mother loved her dearly, and she had nothing to say even if she wanted to persuade her.

Just at this time, a mocking voice sounded from outside: "Mother, I said you are biased. The elder sister is here. What do you mean by dragging you to Chong'er's house first to complain?"

Before he could finish speaking, the door was pushed open, and a young woman with bright clothes and a glorious face walked in.

This is the second cousin, An Yuan?
An Xu heard from his younger brother yesterday that the second cousin married well, and she married to Sanhe Town, more than [-] miles to the north.

She was a powerful girl when she was not married, because she had an older sister and older brother, and the second cousin who didn't get the attention of her parents no matter how she was arranged, would take the initiative to fight for things when she was very young.

When her parents ignored her, she would come out very rudely.

For this reason, when she was not married, she was often beaten by her aunt.The uncle has a good temper. When the second daughter fights for something, he will make up for her whatever he can, but he doesn't care if the uncle cares about the daughter.

But this also made the second girl more aggressive, and the uncle's mother became more and more displeased with the second girl. Seeing her suddenly barging in, she immediately scolded with a scowling face, "Why are you such a jerk? What do I do? Do I need to explain to you?"

The unceremonious two words hit her head and face, even though An Yuan had been scolded a lot since she was a child, she was also very wronged at this time.

Looking at these people with a red face, An Xu saw that the second cousin quickly calmed down and said, "Mother, you really have something good to hide from me."

The aunt almost fainted.

An Xi said: "Second Sister misunderstood, I asked Sister Dani to bring me here."

An Yuan snorted coldly, "Since I was a child, my mother has often given you good things behind the backs of our other sisters and brothers. Who knows if you asked your mother to help you with things, or if your mother took the initiative to ask for good things for you."

An Xu saw that the mother and daughter were coming and going, so she couldn't interrupt at will, but she didn't know if the second cousin was there, could she teach the couple how to make popcorn.

The aunt had scolded the second daughter, then turned around and said to An Xu: "Danny, let's talk about teaching your eldest sister later, let's go and see the stove you mentioned first."

An Yuan looked at her mother's back, her eyes became sore for a moment, isn't she her mother's daughter?How can you be so eccentric?
"I knew there was something good," she said again, unable to hide her sourness.

The aunt said: "You are living well enough, be honest."

This voice of disgust that could not be concealed amidst impatience made An Xu feel a little uncomfortable, let alone the person being talked about.

An Yuan sneered, and sure enough, she didn't say anything else, followed to look at the stove, saw the elder brother-in-law Sun Fuman who came out from next door, and sarcastically said: "Elder brother-in-law, you really married a good wife, look at me, my sister will give you everything Arranged, you just, "

These words are a bit harsh, but any man with a bit of blood can't bear it. The uncle often scolds the eldest son-in-law, but she never says that the family depends on her daughter.

"Go home for me, and I don't need you to honor me in the future. If you don't get mad at me a few times, it will be considered that I didn't support you in vain."

An Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll be leaving."

She took a look at her cousin, she had heard that she was doing business beside the official road selling prescriptions, so she knew what her mother was planning to bring her eldest sister here without asking.

Since you secretly subsidized the elder sister's things, don't forget the other children in the family.

The second sister left, Anxi felt a little uneasy, she said to her mother: "Mother, don't pay us any more, I will buy this prescription myself from my younger sister Dani."

"You don't have to worry about so much," said the auntie in a low voice, "Can your family take out 15 taels all at once? If you delay paying the money several times, your father will think that we are deliberately taking advantage of Da Ni, and there will be no more money in the future." Will let us sell the prescription again."

Anxi did not have that much money in his hands. On the one hand, he didn't want the other brothers and sisters to embarrass his mother when they found out about it.

Followed to the kitchen, An Xi was still a little absent-minded when he saw a stove spinning back and forth on the stove.

Half an hour later, a bang shook the entire Linhe Village.

Then many people came looking for the voice to take care of them. Before they got there, they smelled a full and strong rice fragrance.

The aunt sent back all the villagers who had found her. When she went to the kitchen, she couldn't help but grabbed a handful of snow-white and light puffed rice and put it in her mouth.

It melts at the entrance.

And most of the bag was made out of just a bowl of rice.

Even if you want to fry it with sugar, you can make a lot of money by selling one for a penny.

The aunt's half-belief at first turned into a smile that couldn't quite close her face.

OK, great.

The aunt grabbed the eldest daughter's hand and said, "Thank you cousin soon. You wouldn't be able to get such a good thing if our two families weren't close."

When the last sentence was said, he looked at the eldest son-in-law.

The honest Sun Fuman rubbed his hands, his lips were murmured, and he couldn't say a decent word for a long time.

The aunt looked impatient and angry, pushed the man aside, pulled her daughter and said to An Xu, "Let's make rice candy."

For the middle-aged lady in her 30s, An Xu has a good impression of her. When teaching her how to fry rice candy, she is very detailed and thoughtful.

Before noon, the aunt, mother and daughter left happily.

Sun Fuman carried the popcorn stove and followed behind.

An Chong whispered: "Sister, can they do this?"

"I don't know either," An Xu shook his head, "But as long as you are not short-sighted, with this business, although it is impossible to become rich and rich, you will definitely not be short of food and drink."

"Oh, the eldest sister didn't know how to marry at the beginning." An Chong sighed old-fashionedly.

An Xu tapped him on the head: "Don't think that these are not things you should care about. Go and prepare some good fodder for An's family. We will set off for Nanfeng Mansion tomorrow."
