"...The pastry seller, how can I compare with your little Jin."

"That's right, if you want me to tell you, don't bother with those two little bastards who have no parents to raise them."

"It's definitely not worth worrying about. I was just worried that the two of them didn't know the slightest bit of worldly wisdom, so I came to the door to ask a few words, but I didn't know that the two of them were so ignorant. Don't even talk about giving some to his grandma to try something new. I asked him I don't want to sell it at a low price..."

The houses in this village were still built of thin red bricks, and the sound insulation effect was not good. As soon as He Ming and the others walked outside the yard of his second uncle's house, they could hear the voices inside.

He Ming didn't know what was said earlier, but just from the few words he heard, he could guess who the people in the room were gossiping about, so he couldn't help but shook his head, this woman, really It's not like you usually say one thing in front of your face and another behind your back. That's not what the two women who spoke at the front said about him when they went to buy pastries from him.

He Ming became interested, so he simply stopped five steps away from the door, and pricked up his ears to hear how these women gossip about him.

"He Ming, if you don't want to go, go back. I'll send the things there for you. If you feel really uncomfortable, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. Anyway, you two are human beings, and everyone has eyes. Watched."

Naturally, He Rongsheng could hear the conversations coming from inside clearly. As a bystander, he felt very sad when he heard this, and he also disliked the gossips in the room.

This Mrs. Zhao is used to being bitter and mean, and there are not many women in the village who are willing to make friends with her, but since He Jin's college admission letter came out, many women in the village are rushing to court her.

After all, the Communication University in City A has a long-standing reputation, and all those who can be admitted are all-rounders in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, which is the first in their Hejia Village.

"Sixth Uncle, it's okay, we're here." He Ming smiled, his tone was relaxed and natural, and it could be heard that he didn't take these women's gossips seriously at all.

He Ming really didn't take these words to heart. In his previous life, he stayed in the palace for a full ten years, and what he saw the most was hypocrisy and obscenity between people. He had long been used to it.

What's more, he wished that there were as many people as possible, especially if she was a gossip girl like Second Aunt, who could give him free publicity and let the whole village know that the two brothers were not just white-eyed wolves.

Look, as soon as he heard that the second uncle and second aunt's family came back from a trip, didn't he bring his younger brother to deliver pastries to them?

Thinking about it this way, He Ming didn't feel sorry for the five catties of cakes and the big watermelon in his hand, and seeing the women in the room coming and going, they didn't care about those words, so he lost interest in listening to them.

"Hey, is there a happy event at Second Aunt's house today, so lively?"

In this hot weather, most people's homes didn't close the door, and just hung a gauze curtain at the door to keep out mosquitoes, so He Ming didn't knock on the door when he reached the door.

"He Ming is here..."

"I heard that you went to the town to set up a stall today. How is the business?"

"Tsk, I have a lot of things in my hand, this kid is really sensible..."

When everyone in the room saw the three people at the door, they were quiet for a few seconds, their expressions were a little awkward, and they didn't know who opened their mouths first, and soon those people started talking again, and they didn't want to say anything nice Money goes straight out.

He Ming didn't care whether they were sincere or not, this effect was what he wanted, especially seeing his second aunt's dark complexion, he felt very happy in his heart.

Look, let's face it.

"Second Aunt, when my cakes were on sale, your family happened to be traveling, so I never had a chance to let you taste my cakes. Today you came to my house, and I know you are back."

Hearing this, the other people in the room looked at Mrs. Zhao in a subtle way.

"Hmph! Who will show this hypocritically?" It's one thing for Mrs. Zhao to be bitter and mean, but she also has the ability to read people's thoughts.

He Ming was not in a hurry, and pushed He Yu, "Xiao Yu, you still haven't apologized to Second Aunt."

"Second Aunt, I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear to you before, and I made you angry." Although He Yu was reluctant, he still apologized earnestly according to the set of words Grandma Zhang taught him before, "Your When my family asked for pastries at the meeting, they were almost sold out, only a few pieces were broken, I thought I would keep them for myself, so I was not willing to give them to you."

"Who are you lying to? Then I will see you blocking the door of the cabinet so hard that you won't even let me see it."

"It was you who first stepped forward to snatch it, so I..."

"Second Aunt, don't argue with Xiao Yu, it's my fault too, I don't want to give Xiao Yu the freshly made pastries on weekdays, and basically sell them all, only the leftovers that are broken are left for him to eat. The second aunt also knows that the life of our brothers is not good on weekdays, and I don't have any extra money to buy snacks for him. When children are hungry, they will inevitably protect food..."

This set of rhetoric was originally taught to them by Grandma Zhang in advance, but now that he said it, he felt a little sour in his heart, and he couldn't help sobbing.

Mrs. Zhao was completely dumbfounded, and everyone else in the room looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they realized just how pitiful the two brothers without father and mother were, and they just said such ugly things behind their backs...

He Rongsheng was very upset when he heard it, and seeing Mrs. Zhao becoming more and more displeased, "You just hope that your two nephews will get better. When they heard that you came to ask for pastries, they hurriedly made some temporarily. You are angry, and you specially asked me to be a peacemaker and bring them over."

"Hmph, He Ming, I underestimated you." If there were not so many people in the room, Mrs. Zhao would have cursed a long time ago.

He Ming had a full view of Zhao's gritted teeth expression, and felt a burst of joy in his heart, but his face was still cautious, his eyes rolled, and he decided to take advantage of these women's presence to disgust him again. The second aunt, "I know that the second aunt is still angry with me because I wanted to calculate the compensation with you last time, but that's because I was really short of money. Xiaoyu was skinny and skinny during that time, I didn't I just want to see if my parents’ 100 million compensation is still left.”

"When you two brothers were in my house, since when did I be harsh on you? Your parents' compensation of 100 million yuan was also recorded in the accounts. Are you looking into this matter again today because you want to take advantage of the number of people?" People looked at him more and more wrongly, Zhao was so angry that his chest hurt.

Mrs. Zhao didn't say that the compensation was okay, but He Rongsheng became angry again when he mentioned it, "In the past four years, how did you treat the two brothers of the He family? Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. Considering that you are their second aunt, He Ming himself didn't bother with you, which is why you took such a big deal. Are you still reasonable now? Zhao Xiaolan, I'll stop talking here today. In the future, they will I've made up my mind for the two brothers, you don't want to use your status as an elder to come over and take advantage of them..."

Now that everyone is living a better life, the young men in the village who are as old as He Ming basically focus on their studies and don't have to do any work.Especially during the summer vacation, most of He Ming's peers went out to travel in small groups, unlike He Ming, who would get up before dawn to make pastries, and set up stalls to sell pastries under the sun.

He Rongsheng didn't say anything, but he was really sad and blamed himself. At that time, Boss He and his wife had such an accident in the coal mine. It would be the busy season. As the head of a village, he didn't care about these things. Pushing these two brothers to He Laoer's family was the end of the matter, and he didn't care much about them in the past few years. He didn't know the situation of the two brothers until He Ming took the initiative to ask him for help.

"He Rongsheng, don't scare my old lady here. If you want to get involved with the troubles of the two brothers, you can get involved." The Zhao family hates others to threaten her the most. Today we are all talking about this, if you now feel that your wings are strong and you have a backer, and you don’t need our family in the future, you can say that there is no need for our two families to communicate in the future. "

"Second Aunt, Sixth Uncle, don't get excited. If I start a dispute because of me, I will be guilty." Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, He Ming quickly pulled He Rongsheng back. The village head is obviously not his second aunt's opponent. If the two continue to quarrel, it will definitely be him who suffers.

"He Ming is here..." At this moment, He Laoer opened the curtain and walked in. Seeing that there were quite a lot of people in the room, especially when he saw He Rongsheng, his eyes lit up immediately, "Ah, the village chief is here too. , Why are you free to come to our house today? Hey, sit down, we have brought a lot of things from other places when we went out this time, and I will bring them for you to try. "

He Lao Er is a blind man. Before he married his wife, he listened to his old mother, and after he married his wife, he listened to Zhao's words. He is lazy and cowardly. Men and women in the village don't like him, and few people are willing. Come to his house.

He Ming was worried that he didn't know how to resolve the tense atmosphere. Seeing He's second son coming, he hurried up to greet him, and handed over the cakes and watermelon that he had been carrying all along, "Second Uncle, you are back, I made this myself The cakes are specially brought for you to try."

"He Xiangying, don't accept it." Mrs. Zhao rushed forward and pulled He Laoer away, "Hmph, your nephew is very capable now, I dare not eat his food."

"What are you yelling about? It's rare for the brothers He Ming to come home." He Laoer yelled at Mrs. Zhao for the first time, and when he looked at He Ming, his expression softened a lot, and he took the bag from He Ming's hand. Something, "I'm going to college soon, and it's not easy for you to sell some cakes, so you don't need to be so polite."

Although He Laoer is a coward, but in front of so many people, and his daughter has been admitted to a good university, everyone in the village looked at him highly, so he dared to look at Mrs. Zhao when he was in high spirits right now. It's the first time Zhao Shi has been yelled at by He Lao Er after being married to He Lao Er for so many years, and she didn't react for a while.

He Ming didn't expect his second uncle to have such a manly side, and the expression on his face became more sincere, "Second uncle, to tell you the truth, it's really not easy for me to make these cakes, so I'll give some to Let’s try something new. I’m not afraid you will laugh at me, if you want to eat it again in the future, I won’t be polite, and I will settle the score clearly.”

"That's natural..." When He Laoer occasionally thinks of his elder brother's kindness to him, he will also realize that he has no worries about food and clothing, and his daughter is promising again. I really felt guilty.

Seeing that He Laoer said so, He Rongsheng took advantage of the situation and said: "He Laoer, since He Ming told you so, then I'm ugly. No matter how much money he makes from this pastry stand, then It has nothing to do with your He Laoer's family, you know what kind of temperament you are, don't make trouble every now and then, it will make the two families look ugly."

He Laoer's face was a little red, and he quickly nodded in response: "Don't worry about this, I know it's not easy for them brothers, besides, we don't need this money now, just like what He Ming said, we want to eat his money in the future If the pastry is served, it will still be clear.”

Seeing Mrs. Zhao staring at the side, He Rongsheng wanted to tear He Laoer apart. Anyway, he had achieved his goal, so he didn't say much, "If that's the case, then I'll go back first."

"The second uncle and the second aunt, I'm leaving too, I have to hurry back and prepare the pastries that will be sold tomorrow." He Ming didn't want to stay any longer.

As soon as He Ming finished speaking, the women who had been sitting on the sofa just now stood up quickly. It was Zhao's expression that was too scary.

"Then Xiaolan, we won't stay any longer, we have to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables..."

"Me too, I have to go to the river to wash the onions. Tomorrow my man will go to town to sell vegetables..."

Sure enough, as soon as the group of them walked out the door, Second Aunt's sharp curses erupted in the room...

The author has something to say: He Ming: Meimei (the author), have I received my university admission letter?

Meimei: You still want to go to college, and you can't even do the third grade word problems...

He Ming: I (shy)... have been studying recently, and now I will be in the fourth grade.

Meimei: Then you should study for a while.
