On the next day, he got up early as usual, heated the coal stove to boil water, fed the horses, and cleaned the carriage.Old Madam Ding got up, served tea, bought a set of deep-fried dough sticks and pancakes, and treated her mother to eat. After harnessing the carriage, she headed to East Station to catch the train that arrived at half past nine.When they arrived at the parking place outside the station, they hadn't tied up the reins yet, a colleague came up to him and said with a smile, "Ding Er Er, why didn't you come all day yesterday?" Erhe said, "It's something." The man laughed "What's the matter? Fool Wang told me that you went to find Yang Yuerong. According to my opinion, you probably didn't find it. In fact, it's far away in the sky, but close in front of you." Erhe said: "You're talking nonsense, do you know?" Then Humanity: "Why don't you know? She took a car with someone to Tangshan to take a bath yesterday. This car is run by Feilong Motors. You know that Feilong's family also had a carriage in the past. I spent two or three years at his house..." Two He said: "What are you talking about? Let me ask you, where did you see her?" The man said with a smile: "The shopkeeper of Feilong's family told me that as long as a lady who sings an opera has a better face, she will be praised. That Yang Yuerong, After only a few days of singing, someone took her to the store to rent a car, and went to visit Tangshan. If you don’t believe me, you can ask.” Erhe said: “Then I have to ask.” Just this sentence, take the horse’s head , drove the car, and came to Feilong Automobile.

I asked the cabinet, if there is such a thing, I only know that the renter's surname is Song, but I don't know where he lives.When the car returned to the city, they got off at the gate of Dong'an Market.Erhe didn't think too much, and immediately drove the carriage back.When I got home, I saw Aunt Tian's sister-in-law in her room, and said that I was busy, and came back to say something, so she took off the handlebars, put on the saddle, and jumped on the horse's back in the yard by herself, with her legs clamped together. , shaking the horse's reins and leaving.Mrs. Tian chased outside with an iron spoon in her hand, and shouted, "Ding Er Er, you are crazy. You have been running around like this all day long, neither eating nor drinking. Where are you going?" Erhe had gone a few zhang away from the gate, turned back and said, "I'll go down to the foot of Tangshan Mountain, and come back in the afternoon. That's all I'll do." As he spoke, the horse pulled up the reins, and the horse ran away.

Mrs. Tian stood outside the gate, dazed for a while, then looked at Erhe's way, shook her head twice, sighed twice, and then walked into the room slowly.Her younger sister, the second girl, put a panel on the table, rolled up her sleeves, exposing her arms like lotus roots, rubbing noodles on the panel, her forehead was slightly sweaty.Then he laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you can curse at people as soon as you open your mouth." Sister-in-law Tian said, "Why don't I scold him? I am his sister-in-law. You see, I drove the carriage and went out to look for it for a while, and then rode out again. This kind of looking for that little thing day and night, the family doesn't want it. Youdao is a bitch who is ruthless..." The second girl glared at her and said, "I'm not your real uncle or brother, you mess around like this Scolding!" Mrs. Tian took a breath and said, "I just can't get used to it." As she spoke, she used an iron spoon to stir the noodles in the pot.

It turned out that Mrs. Ding was getting old and a little afraid of the cold, so they moved the stove into the house to cook, so they could talk together.Mrs. Ding sat on a low chair by the table, sniffed the tip of her nose twice, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what a treat you have. What do you prepare for marinating?" The sister-in-law said, "Four taels of mutton, two Ten pieces of golden needle fungus, three eggs, two big pieces of green garlic, five pieces of dried shrimp, and one big peppercorn.” The second girl pulled the noodles into thin pieces, stretched her hands continuously, and fell on the panel, sticking to it. There was a sound of dry powder, and she glanced at the sister-in-law and smiled, "What else? Report this account! Are you sure you want the old lady to pay a share?" Sister-in-law Tian said with a smile: "Today you are the host, I have to give Please give me a few compliments to make the old lady love you a little." Granny Ding said with a smile: "Our second girl is really polite, why do you want to treat me? Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law have come to accompany me all day, I am very grateful "The second girl laughed and said, "Based on the account reported by my sister-in-law, it won't cost much, right? I have a little more money for work this month. To tell you the truth, there are two yuan, eighty-nine cents, and For ten days, I can earn three yuan, five or six cents this month. The money I earn so hard should be comfortable. My sister-in-law lives on this money at home, and when she moves here, she also eats on this money when she is with the old lady. Granny, do you want thinner or thicker noodles when you eat them?" Mrs. Ding said with a smile: "I heard that your small hands are good at making noodles, and the noodles are also thicker. It’s thin, I have to try it.” The second girl said: “I can’t match my sister-in-law when I do rough work, and I don’t have her strength. Sister-in-law, can you cook it? Let me boil the water, you Come to stretch the noodles." The sister-in-law said: "The old lady said that you have a pair of skillful hands, but you don't want to stretch the noodles for the old lady?"

The second girl put down the noodles, came over, took the iron spoon from the sister-in-law, put two large bowls on the table, first filled the bowl with marinade, and then filled another eight-cent bowl.Mrs. Tian stretched her face, pursed her lips and smiled.The second girl replaced the pot of stewed pot on the stove with a pot of hot water, then found a porcelain plate, covered a bowl half full of stewed water, and put it on the table.Mrs. Tian nodded and smiled at her.The second girl blushed and said, "What are you laughing at?" The elder sister-in-law ignored her, and said to Mrs. Ding, "Let's become one family, okay?" I always take care of me. These two days, I eat here and do my work here. It’s really lively. You and your sister-in-law think highly of me as a cripple." Mrs. Tian smiled and said: "It’s not about the current thing. Bring me to live here Let’s do it, the old man eats a little from us, and I still use your coal water? Is it worth mentioning that I didn’t do it well? I mean, you love my second girl very much, my second girl, I have no parents since I was a child, and I treat you like an old lady, if you don't mind..." The second girl lifted the lid of the pot to look at the water, and said with a smile: "By the way, I beg you to be a godmother. Let's go." Mrs. Tian said with a smile: "No, find fool Wang to come out as a ready-made matchmaker, and let her and the second child be a young couple..."

The second girl stretched out her hand to grab a piece of dough, raised it high, and scolded with a smile: "You are a madman, I will use the batter to cover your mouth." Mrs. Tian raised her hand to cover her face, and hid behind Old Madam Ding, she said with a smile: "Second girl, I swear, if I say this in your heart, I'm a grandson." The second girl threw the dough onto the board and said with a stampede, "Old lady, look, You see, I quit, I have to beat her." Mrs. Tian still got up to stretch the noodles, and said with a smile: "You quit? You go home. We eat noodles here." Mrs. Ding heard that, just laugh.Mrs. Tian said: "Madam, would you like to say something?" Mrs. Ding said with a smile: "Marriage matters are now decided by the men and women themselves. As parents, how can you be troublesome! When it comes to myself That's a thousand pleasures, ten thousand pleasures." The second girl lifted the lid of the pot, shook the noodles, put them in the water, looked into the pot and said, "I don't say anything, let you say what you want. .” So he took a pair of long bamboo chopsticks and kneaded the noodles in the water pot.

The sister-in-law smiled and said: "If you say that, it's still good enough. As for Erhe, after this big somersault, he probably doesn't want to be modern. With my mouth, I can convince him. Besides, he told us Erhe Miss, I have always been very polite. As for our second girl, if nothing else is mentioned, she will save more than half of it for Erhe." The second girl pouted and said, "What else, just say it and keep it. Is half a bowl worth more than half a bowl? A sister-in-law never jokes with her sister-in-law like this in someone else's house. Granny, I've got noodles, let me pick a bowl for you first, while it's hot." Mrs. Ding said: " Let's eat together." The second girl said: "If everyone eats together, the noodles will become mushy. If you cook a bowl and eat a bowl, you are not an outsider..." The second girl picked up the noodles and immediately covered her hand holding the chopsticks The elder sister-in-law smiled and said: "It's not an outsider, you said this yourself, I didn't make fun of you." The second girl smiled and said: "You are crazy today, I won't tell you. Granny, you eat first As she spoke, she picked out half a bowl of noodles, thickly added a lot of brine to the noodles with a porcelain spoon, held them in both hands, and delivered them to Mrs. Ding.Mrs. Tian said: "Grandma, you can eat it. This is her filial piety. In the future, help your daughter-in-law more and help your son less." that's it.
