The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

"Take one and try it."

After a busy morning, Uncle Qiao finally made the fish balls. He tasted one himself, and asked Aunt Qiao to taste one too.Aunt Qiao pinched one with her hands and put it in her mouth, she thought about it for a while, and said, "Well, it's okay, it's just a little bit worse."

Aunt Qiao put it mildly. In fact, the meatballs they made themselves today are not the same as the ones delivered by their nephew yesterday, whether it is soft or hard, the taste is very different.

Uncle Qiao was a little dissatisfied with the meatballs he made, and muttered to himself: "I obviously made it according to Minglang's instructions, so why can't I make it."

What link went wrong?He couldn't figure it out himself.

"The next time we call again, let's ask Minglang to come over and give advice, don't we know?" Aunt Qiao said.

Uncle Qiao thought for a while, nodded and said, "You are right."

The two of them were busy in the kitchen, unaware that there was a guest at home.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing delicious in the kitchen? I yelled outside but no one answered, I thought you were not at home anymore." Fourth Aunt Qiao yelled twice outside the yard. In response, she pushed open the door and walked in.

Hearing voices in the kitchen, she walked over here, and sure enough, everyone she saw was here.

"It's the fourth sister. We were busy in the kitchen, but we didn't hear your voice." A voice appeared at the door of the kitchen. Aunt Qiao and Uncle Qiao turned their heads to look at the same time, only to realize that it was a visitor from home, Aunt Qiao said with a smile.

"Here we come, go and sit in the house." Seeing that the girl had come, Uncle Qiao asked his wife to take the girl to sit in the main room.

"All right."

Seeing that relatives came to the house, Aunt Qiao put down what she was doing, her hands were still wet, she wiped her clothes casually, went outside, and said with a smile: "It's hot in the kitchen. , let’s stop here and sit over there to cool off. I was making fish balls with your elder brother just now, and when you go back, bring a catty back to eat.”

They made a total of three or four catties of meatballs, and they had to send bowls to several other families in a while. This was a catty for their relatives to go home, and they didn't have much left.

"Okay, the fish balls made by brother are delicious. It seems that I came today by coincidence." Fourth Aunt Qiao's eyes were sharp, and when she saw a bowl of fish balls in the basin, she smiled a little deeper on her face, but her heart was full of tears. Dislike this sister-in-law for being too stingy, and give her a catty back after making so many balls?

Back at her natal home today, Fourth Aunt Qiao also bought two catties of fruit, handed the fruit she was carrying to sister-in-law, and said, "I brought some fruits for you to eat, mother-in-law and sister-in-law."

"You come here as soon as you come. You are all from your own family. What else did you bring?" Aunt Qiao said so, but she reached out to take it. As soon as she took it, she knew that the bag of fruit was just over two catties. to a weight of three catties.

There are so many people in their family, it is definitely not enough to eat out. Needless to say, this fruit is something that the girl brought to her own mother, not for their eldest brother and sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, is Auntie at home?"

"I didn't see A Niang going out, A Niang should be in her room, let's go and have a look and find out."

Their mother-in-law has two daughters, one married to the village and the other to the town.The fourth aunt who came today was married to the town. Her husband's family has a little money and opened a timber shop in the town. Their eldest son works in this fourth aunt's shop.

But when it comes to the two aunts, although the third aunt is married to this village and her life at home is normal, but the third aunt is a generous person. Every time she visits her parents, she will bring a letter, knowing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law live with them Together, if you send fish or meat, you will deliberately send more.As for this little girl who married into the town, her husband's family is rich, and both husband and wife are stingy. Usually, this fourth girl comes back to her mother's house empty-handed, and when she leaves, she has to bring a big bag to her husband's house. It is generous to be able to carry two catties of fruit today.

Aunt Qiao knew what kind of person this fourth aunt was.

But because my son works in someone else's shop, even if I have some opinions on the behavior of this fourth aunt in my heart, every time the fourth aunt comes to the house, Aunt Qiao is also very enthusiastic about the fourth aunt, and leads him into the house. go in.
