Sister Hu is well-known for being warm-hearted in the nearby area. The barrier itself is neither big nor small, and because the personnel are not very circulated, everyone's intersecting circle is concentrated in the barrier.
Not to mention anything else, the relationship between neighbors in the neighborhood is much closer.
Before the catastrophe, everyone’s online friends were all over the world, no matter how far away they were, they were enough to meet human’s social needs.
It’s different now. Even making a phone call at home can only be done in the same city. Ordinary residents can’t chat across barriers without satellite phones.
An aunt at the side saw Sister Hu chatting with Yang Xiaojin, and said, "Little Hu, do you know this person?"
"Of course I do. This is my new neighbor," said Hu, "It's been more than half a month since we moved in. The girl has a very good personality, gentle and gentle."
The aunt smiled and said, "I mean, why did such a pretty little girl appear out of nowhere, but why did she come here to sell peaches?"
Yang Xiaojin explained with a smile: "The two peach trees in the backyard bear fruit, and we can't finish it by ourselves."
Sister Hu took a look at Yang Xiaojin, but didn't say anything in front of Yang Xiaojin.
It's just that Yang Xiaojin felt that she needed to explain. After all, Ren Xiaosu was her closest person. Even though she knew that Ren Xiaosu would not care about these gossips, she had to clarify some things.
Yang Xiaojin said seriously: "Actually, my family is very good. He just wants to rest for a while, not lazy. Sister Hu, you have misunderstood him. To be honest, many people wish he would stop working..."
Sister Hu and the others didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but Yang Xiaojin was telling the truth. For example, if the Zhou family and the Wang family knew that Ren Xiaosu was living in a retreat in the mountains, many people would really burn incense and beg Ren Xiaosu to stop it. Retire, don't come to the Central Plains to "find a job" again...
This guy's job is a bit scary!
Sister Hu smiled: "Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, it's all right, you can do your work, I will go back to prepare lunch this weekend after I buy some food."
With that said, Sister Hu walked outside the vegetable market.
In the end, someone grabbed Ms. Hu and asked in a low voice: "I see that you were hesitant to speak just now, what's the matter, is there any problem with this girl?"
"The girl is fine, she is definitely a good girl, the main thing is her man, do you know that since they moved here, the young man has been at home every day without looking for a job, and now he has let this girl out to sell peaches," Sister Hu regretted : "Look at how pretty that girl is. It's a pity that she came to set up a stall in the vegetable market."
The three aunts and six aunts who were listening to the gossip nearby also murmured, "It's too outrageous..."
At this time, Ren Xiaosu bought the steamed stuffed bun and handed it to Yang Xiaojin. He smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat it. I wrapped it in my arms and brought it back. It's still warm. Here, I bought you a cup of soy milk."
"Yes," Yang Xiaojin nodded and took it.
However, Ren Xiaosu suddenly discovered that since he returned to the booth, someone was always looking at him vaguely.
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled, and he asked Yang Xiaojin in a low voice: "Why are so many people secretly looking at me? Is it because I am too handsome?"
Yang Xiaojin smiled: "You're really ashamed to say it, it's like this, just now when Sister Hu came to buy vegetables, she happened to bump into me, and then she talked about you not looking for a job. In her description, I directly became a victim You poor blood-sucking girl, and you're still that lazy parasite."
"Hey," Ren Xiaosu said happily, "Sister Hu is really warm-hearted. Now she probably thinks that you are a flower planted in cow dung, and she is fighting for you."
"Aren't you angry?" Yang Xiaojin teased as she took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun.
"What's there to be angry about? I can't come to her and tell her that I am the young commander of the Northwest Army, so please be more polite to me in the future!" Ren Xiaosu said with a cheerful smile: "That's too embarrassing, anyway, we know Whatever happened."
"It's fine if you don't get angry," Yang Xiaojin said, "Our peaches are growing well, and half of them have been sold as soon as they came out of the stall. I think they will be sold out soon. I will buy some vegetables and go back to cook later. What do you want to eat? ?”
"Sparse ribs?" Ren Xiaosu thought for a while, "How about another fish?"
"Braised or steamed?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
"Or just one braised in brown sauce and one steamed..."
"Fine."
…
When the two returned home, Yang Xiaojin went to work in the kitchen, while Ren Xiaosu lay on the recliner in the yard and read a book.
Now Ren Xiaosu doesn't need to go to the library to find books, after all, the library at Fort 88 has been swept into the storage space by him.
The backyard was blocked by a low wall, and it was about a meter or so. While Ren Xiaosu was reading, the middle-aged man Wang Yuexi was sitting in the next yard reading a newspaper. of tea.
Neither of the two greeted each other, as if they had never spoken to each other or knew each other.
In fact, if there is no sister Hu, they might not have any intersection in this life.
The meal next door seemed to be ready, and Sister Hu came to the backyard and called Wang Yuexi to eat.
Wang Yuexi put down the newspaper and went straight into the house, but when Sister Hu saw Ren Xiaosu lying on a chair reading a book, she subconsciously looked in the direction of Ren Xiaosu's room, and she could still hear the sound of Yang Xiaojin cooking.
Sister Hu thought for a while and greeted Ren Xiaosu with a smile, "Lu Xiaomi?"
Ren Xiaosu almost didn't realize that this was his current alias...
After being stunned for two seconds, Ren Xiaosu raised his head and greeted Sister Hu through the courtyard wall: "What's the matter, Sister Hu, is there something wrong?"
"Where is your family cooking?" Sister Hu asked.
"Yes, I asked Xiao Jin to cook the spare ribs and fish for lunch, do you want to come and taste, Sister Hu?" Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
Sister Hu was stunned for a moment, she thought to herself that you don't work, yet she still asks Miss Xiaojin to cook big fish and meat for you every day!
You must know that there are signs of a food shortage in the northwest, and the prices of rice, noodles, vegetables, and meat are all rising. Even if their family Wang Yuexi works in the administrative center of the barrier, the family eats meat only once or twice a week.
Sister Hu felt a little distressed for Yang Xiaojin when she thought of the inexplicable things here, and she said casually: "The food is not bad."
"Well, the peaches are selling fast in the morning, and the money from selling the peaches can just improve the food," Ren Xiaosu started talking nonsense.
Sister Hu became even angrier when she heard this. Miss Xiaojin worked so hard to sell the peaches all morning, just to let you eat meat? It's fine if you don't work, and you don't know how to be frugal in life!
But Sister Hu didn't tell Ren Xiaosu about this. She changed the subject and said, "By the way, I think you've been idle all the time. Why don't you let my guy introduce you to a job?"
Ren Xiaosu smiled and shook his head: "No need, Miss Hu, I think it's pretty good now, how leisurely it is."
Sister Hu immediately lowered her face, turned around and slammed the door into the house, leaving Ren Xiaosu alone in the backyard with a dazed expression on her face. She was fine just now, why did she get angry? !
