Not long after that, several tricycles from Xishui Village arrived at the stone bridge outside Lu Town.

All the villagers got out of the car, greeted the driver, and then ran to the market in front of them.

Dafang was with Aunt Qinghua.

They crossed the bridge, passed through a crowded area, and went straight to a supply and marketing cooperative not far away.

There is a place to make phone calls at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, but the price is not affordable.

Calls within this city cost 50 cents per minute.

Long distance calls within the province cost two yuan per minute. Long distance calls outside the province are more expensive, costing five yuan.

Fortunately, the second girl from Aunt Qinghua's family is in the provincial capital.

And her call was placed on her daughter's mobile phone, so she didn't need to wait for someone else to relay it to her or dial again.

So, the call was quickly connected.

Aunt Qinghua warned her second daughter, then hung up the phone at the fifty-eight second mark.

After that, she called her eldest daughter, who was married to another village, to give her a few reminders.

He also pinched it and hung up the phone.

After that, while muttering that the phone bill was too expensive, which was enough to eat a bowl of beef meatballs, she counted the money one by one twice before handing it to the clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative.

After that, the two of them left the store and went to the street, where they went shopping together and bought some needed things.

At noon, they each ordered a bowl of beef meatballs from a small stall.

There is only one store in Lu Town that sells beef meatballs. It has been selling them for several years, and now the price is one yuan and a half a bowl.

The meatball stall is located on the side of a spacious intersection. There are several tables and long stools in a large shed supported by white cloth.

Probably because it is relatively hot today, there are not many people coming to eat meatballs at the moment.

The shed is covered and doesn't get any sun at all.

Dafang and Aunt Qinghua finished eating the meatballs and paid. The people eating meatballs next to them had already left.

Seeing that there were vacancies and it would not affect the arrival of customers at the stall, they decided to stay and cool off for a while.

The boss, a woman in her late thirties, didn't chase them away after they finished eating, but only occasionally chatted with them.

Although they don't know each other's names, they all look familiar to each other, so none of the three people present will feel embarrassed.

As they were talking, they talked about the taste of the meatballs. Over the years, the soup base and the meatballs have not changed.

In my original memory, when I went to Luzhen market with my grandmother when I was a child, the landlady in front of me followed her grandmother in selling beef meatballs at this stall.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, everything remains the same.

If I were here, I would probably be very emotional.

Just as Da Fang was thinking this, a man and a woman suddenly heard laughing outside the shed.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain was lifted.

She subconsciously looked up and found that the middle-aged man among the visitors looked familiar.

However, I couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Because it was not polite to stare at others all the time, so she quickly withdrew her gaze.

As for the woman holding his arm next to her, she was completely unimpressed, so she didn't pay any more attention.

"Ahem! Um...Miaobai, we should go. I'm sorry to have disturbed the landlady for so long. It's better not to affect other people's business."

Aunt Qinghua suddenly spoke and said she wanted to leave.

From the corner of her eye, Da Fang noticed that the man who opened the curtain and came in at the stall where the other party was talking to her seemed to stand there stunned for a moment.

At this time, the proprietress of the stall also saw that something was not right in the atmosphere, so she quickly smoothed things over with a smile and said: "Don't bother me, don't bother me, you two are willing to come to my place. I'm not happy enough. I'll come here often next time you have time!"

Hearing this, Dafang quickly nodded to the other party to thank him, then said "see you later" and followed Aunt Qinghua out of the shed.

When the two of them were far away from the meatball stall, Dafang asked the latter what happened just now.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Qinghua, who was always friendly and kind, had an uncharacteristically mocking look on her face.

"Bah! What a piece of shit, so shameless.

"We have such a beautiful daughter-in-law at home, but she still eats outside."

Hearing this, Dafang vaguely understood something, but was not sure.

She then said: "Auntie, the man just now looks familiar to me?"

Aunt Qinghua glanced at her in surprise and said, "Isn't that Wang Dafa from our village? From the Murakami canteen."

"Oh! It turns out it's him, no wonder!"

Da Fang is not afraid of being suspected at this moment, because he has only seen that person a few times, so it is normal for him not to recognize him for a while.

When she said this, she looked surprised as if she had just remembered something.

"Then that woman just now..."

Aunt Qinghua seemed to think that her slow reaction was natural.

After all, he is a young man with little experience and has never heard of these dirty things!

Seeing her reaction at this moment, the other party immediately waved her hand.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me tell you, the two of us have never seen what happened just now.

"When you return to the village, if others ask about it, pretend you don't know and don't tell others.

"Otherwise there will be trouble later, and we won't be willing to go to the Wang family's muddy water!"

Da Fang quickly nodded in agreement.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm not familiar with that person, and I didn't even recognize him just now."

"Hey, that's good. I'm just sorry for Huang Xianglan...

"But the Wang family has many people in the village, so we can't control it, right?"

Dafang nodded, "Well, it's better to do less than to do more."

"Yes, yes, that's the truth. Let's go, let's go shopping somewhere else. We can't run into that piece of shit again this time. It's really going to blind people.

Dafang answered: "Auntie, you can't say that, dogs are so innocent.

"Then Wang Dafa is not as lovable as a dog."

When Aunt Qinghua heard this, she realized that this was indeed the case. The dog also knew how to look after the owner's house and nursery.

It's not like Wang Dafa, who only uses his own money to hook up with women outside. He's so shameless.

After thinking about it, she added: "That woman looks much different than Huang Xianglan."

Da Fang was deeply convinced after hearing this.

Huang Xianglan has a good appearance and a head of black hair. At least she can be regarded as a flower among the married women in Xishui Village.

However, it’s really hard to say about feelings and aesthetics.

Not to mention the short, curly-haired Wang Dafa, just like that woman who was a bit uglier than himself.

After that, the two went shopping on the other side of the market.

But because of the embarrassing incident of meeting Wang Dafa, both of them deliberately observed their surroundings this time, for fear of running into the man and woman just now.

In fact, to elaborate, Wang Dafa and the woman were more afraid of meeting them.

But Dafang and Aunt Qinghua are both face-conscious people, and they really don't want to encounter other people's dirty things.

So, of course they thought they could stay away from each other, so they tried their best to avoid each other.

However, the world is so magical. The less you want something, the more it will give you something.

The two of them walked to a stall selling cakes and were about to ask about the price.

Suddenly a person appeared from behind and said with a flattering smile: "Hey! Isn't this the Qinghua Sister-in-law and the little girl from the Yun family?

"What a coincidence, we met again.

"Here, let me introduce you, this is my junior high school classmate.

"By the way, do you want to buy cakes? We are from the same village, and it just so happens that you two bought it. How about I pay for it for you?"

The speaker was none other than Wang Dafa.
