Chapter 27 Idea Follow-up
Huo Xiaohan took a detour home with his things, and first saw the Yuan family sweeping the floor in the yard. Seeing that he was holding so many things, Yuan stepped forward to help pick them up, "Where did you get these clothes and quilts?"
Huo Xiaohan: "This is what Yuan Anping doesn't want, I will take it back when I see that it can still be used." ”
As soon as Yuan heard that it was Yuan Anping, he didn't say anything more, and helped him take it to his house and send it to his house. Liu came out of the house, and when he saw the things they were taking, he asked with an unhappy face: "Xiaohan, where did the things come from?
Huo Xiaohan hurriedly handed everything to the Yuan family, and then said to the Liu family: "Mother, let me tell you something." I met Yuan Anping today. ”
Liu's face became even more ugly when she heard Yuan Anping's name, since her grandson was returned by Yuan Anping, she couldn't help but scold a few words when she thought of it.
Huo Xiaohan hurriedly finished her words before she got angry: "He said that I want me to send him a load of firewood and a load of three cents every evening." ”
When Liu heard that Yuan Anping wanted to buy firewood, and the price was the same as in the city, he immediately frowned, "What you said is true?"
Huo Xiaohan nodded, "It's true, he wants to start sending it tomorrow, if it doesn't work, he will send it to someone else." ”
When Liu heard this, how could he let the money in hand run away, "Then you will start sending him firewood tomorrow." She calculated in her heart that three yuan a day, thirty yuan in ten days, and ninety yuan a month, so that when the Chinese New Year is over, there will be a few more chickens in the family. Then he asked uneasily, "Are you sure it's a load of three cents, haven't you said less?" If you let me know that you take money from it, see that I won't kill you!"
Huo Xiaohan hurriedly shook his head, "Don't dare, it's really a load of three pennies, if you don't believe it, you can ask." ”
"Hmph, you don't have the guts. After speaking, he asked suspiciously, "How could this Yuan Anping think of buying firewood from you?"
Huo Xiaohan thought about this on the way back, and when he heard his mother really ask, he said with a natural expression: "I often walk in front of his door to collect firewood, and I am likely to be watched by him many times, knowing that I often collect firewood, so I want to buy it from me." ”
Liu Shi accepted this explanation quite well, and then looked at the things in Yuan's hand, "What's the matter with these clothes and quilts?"
Huo Xiaohan hurriedly explained in a whisper: "This was thrown by Yuan Anping, and I picked it up when I saw that it could still be used." ”
Liu looked through it, it was all very shabby, and said with disgust on his face: "You can keep it." ”
Huo Xiaohan said happily when he heard this: "Thank you, mother." ”
Liu was so happy to see him with such things, thinking that this son was really shallow-eyed, but he couldn't get on the stage. Thinking of the words spread in the village, I was a little jealous that Yuan Anping had good luck, and thought to myself why I didn't let their family have such a good thing!
Huo Xiaohan saw his mother's disgust, but he didn't care what his mother thought, so he carried the things to his bed and started sorting with Yuan's family. Yuan looked through it and didn't want to ask Huo Xiaohan for some, and when he saw Huo Xiaohan cleaning up seriously, he couldn't help but whisper: "I heard that Yuan Anping got acquainted with Master Zhang in the county, what kind of person is that Master Zhang, Yuan Anping can be strong with him, it is a great luck." It would be nice if you could marry him. ”
Huo Xiaohan listened to the movements in his hand for a moment, and then pretended to smile casually, "Second sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, how can he look down on me." He knew very well that Yuan Anping didn't like himself, he had seen the eyes of the little girls in the village who loved each other, Yuan Anping looked at himself very calmly, he knew that it was not like.
Yuan didn't believe Huo Xiaohan's statement, in her opinion, if she didn't want to marry Huo Xiaohan, how could Yuan Anping be so willing to give him food. The ones sent were all good things, so he persuaded him: "Actually, you can think about it, if Yuan Anping comes up with enough silver, he can still marry you." ”
Huo Xiaohan didn't answer her anymore, he knew that he didn't have such a good life, so he didn't have that kind of dream.
When the people in the village get together, they can't help but talk about Yuan Anping, and Yuan Gensheng and Yuan Genshuo's families, who are related to Yuan Anping, naturally also got the news. Unlike Yuan Gensheng, Yuan Genshuo couldn't help but itch when he heard that Yuan Anping had a lot of things, and after thinking about it at home, he couldn't help but go to Yuan Anping's house, thinking about what Yuan Anping had gotten and see if he could get some benefits. It's a pity that when he came to Yuan Anping's door, he saw that the door was locked, and Yuan Anping was not at home.
Where did Yuan Anping go? He carried the meat and a piece of cloth to Yuan Gen Sheng's house.
Everyone in the village knew that the Yuangen Sheng family was not bad to him, and he also had the heart to befriend this uncle, after cleaning up the house, seeing that the time was about the same, he brought things to the Yuangen Sheng family.
Because it was almost time to cook dinner, Yuan Gensheng's family was very together, except for the stone and a little awkward, everyone else received Yuan Anping warmly.
Zhou Xiangzhi took the meat and cloth given by Yuan Anping, and asked Yuan Gensheng to talk to his son with Yuan Anping, and she went into the back room with her daughter. Touching the cloth with white flowers on a blue background, Yuan Xiaoyu said happily: "Mother, this cloth is really beautiful, make me a gown to wear when spring begins." ”
Zhou Xiangzhi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll make you a new outfit." In the coming year, you will also say goodbye, you should have new clothes. ”
Yuan Xiaoyu is sixteen years old this year, two months older than Yuan Anping, and it is indeed time to say goodbye. But when she heard her mother say this, she was still very embarrassed, so she said shyly, "Mother, what are you talking about! Ignore you, I'll go to the kitchen first." With that, he ran out.
Zhou Xiangzhi smiled, looked at this cloth, and thought that the rest of the cloth would be kept for the pillar, and the pillar would have to say goodbye in the coming year, and the cloth could be sent to the girl's house.
Yuan Anping was talking to Yuan Gensheng in the hall, and he originally planned to send something and sit for a while and leave, but Yuan Gensheng's family was very enthusiastic and asked him to stay for dinner, so he could only stay and have dinner with them.
Yuan Gensheng couldn't help but say to Yuan Anping: "Uncle, thank you for the things you sent, but now that life is not easy in this world, you still have to live frugally to live a long time." ”
Yuan Anping nodded in a teachable manner, "Uncle is right, but you usually take a lot of care of me, and now that I have something, I naturally want to send you some to express my gratitude." ”
Yuan Gensheng was very pleased, "You are a person with a heart. ”
In the kitchen, Yuan Xiaoyu looked at the meat sent by Yuan Anping, "Mother, this has to have five or six catties of meat, and that piece of cloth is a lot of money, this Anping is really generous." ”
Zhou Xiangzhi cut the vegetables, "Well, he has a good life, we don't need to make up for him anymore, it's all good." ”
Yuan Xiaoyu heard her mother say this, and she couldn't say anything. After all, when Yuan Anping's mother did not die, their family needed to subsidize the food of two people, and after Yuan Anping's mother died, they also had to subsidize Yuan Anping's food. Since the beginning of winter, because they don't have to work in the field, the family can only eat one meal, and they are really hungry at night, at most they roast a sweet potato, and they have to pick up small ones to eat. So her mother was not happy to give Yuan Anping food, she knew in her heart that her mother felt sorry for them.
After Yuan Anping had dinner at his uncle's house, he hurried home, there was no water at home, and he still needed to go to the village to fetch water.
When Yuan Anping rushed to the well, he unexpectedly found that Huo Xiaohan was also fetching water, "Why did you come out to fetch water so late?" People in the village usually beat the water before dinner, so Yuan Anping usually chooses when it is just dark when he comes out to fetch water, so that he can take advantage of the space to fetch water, otherwise with his current physique, the water tank will be full enough for him.
Huo Xiaohan saw that it was Yuan Anping, he put down the bucket he was carrying, "Xiangxiang wants to take a bath, and there is not enough water at home." ”
Yuan Anping frowned, "I remember that you have three elder brothers, and you don't have anything to do in winter, so why are you too lazy to do it!
Huo Xiaohan was silent, just after eating, no one in the family wanted to come out and suffer.
Yuan Anping sighed, no one in that family really regarded him as family, and maybe they would blame him for all kinds of unhappiness.
Yuan Anping didn't want to say anything, so he advised: "Pay attention to safety when you go back." ”
Huo Xiaohan, "Okay." By the way, I told my mother about it, and she asked me to start sending you firewood tomorrow. Also, it's rumored in the village that you must have got a lot of silver, I wonder if it will cause you trouble?"
Yuan Anping didn't care much, "Let them say it." By the way, are you full for dinner?"
Huo Xiaohan smiled and nodded, "I'm full, I just ate the snack you gave, I gave Qingqing a piece of candy, she was very happy." ”
Yuan Anping smiled and said, "Well, I bought a lot, don't be reluctant to eat it, I'll give it to you after eating." Go back quickly, lest you be scolded again when you are too late. ”
Huo Xiaohan didn't want to leave so quickly, "Do you want me to help you fetch water?"
Yuan Anping, "No need, it's not early, you can go back quickly." ”
Huo Xiaohan could only reluctantly leave.
The next day, Yuan Anping woke up from the warm bed, and it was a happy morning when no one disturbed him to sleep.
When I got up and got dressed, I opened the door of the hall and saw three puppies running swaying. He set up a nest for the puppy in the utility room, laid a piece of hay in the corner, and laid an old coat, and the three puppies slept there on their stomachs, which was considered to be a nest.
Yuan Anping first cleaned himself up, and then cooked breakfast. Sweet potato porridge, dough cake and stir-fried cabbage with shredded pork. When he started eating, the puppy sat next to him and stared at him, snorting from time to time to indicate that they were hungry too. Yuan Anping didn't feed them immediately, the puppy has to make rules, if you feed it, it will pester you every time you eat in the future. He plans to keep a family dog, not a pet dog. So, instead of seeing the three pairs of eager little eyes, he mixed the leftovers together and put them in a wooden basin specially fed them after he had finished eating, and took them to the backyard for them to eat in the backyard.
After breakfast, Yuan Anping went out, and first he went to the carpenter's house in the village. That is the youngest son of the Li Zheng family, and now he is also in his fifties, and his children and grandchildren are also a big family. He worked as a carpenter with his eldest son and two grandsons, and was a veteran craftsman. Yuan Anping came to the door to say what he meant, and was warmly greeted into the house, he put the size and specifications of the wardrobe he wanted to customize, wooden boxes, tables, chairs, benches, and a large bath barrel, and then left, and the family was very enthusiastic about him, that is, there was a boy of his age who was very contemptuous of him, as if he had dirty eyes when he saw him.
Yuan Anping thought for a while before remembering who that kid was, Li Mo, a person who was said to look down on him because he taught the children in the village to write. After thinking about it, Yuan Anping smiled, he was not interested in seeing it like a stupid fork.
After coming out of the carpenter's house, Yuan Anping went to Zhang Wang's house again, and he needed to talk to the other party about the homestead. As a result, with the impetus of Hu Ziniang, the matter was quickly negotiated. If it weren't for Yuan Genshuo's five-year lease note, the whole thing would have gone much more smoothly. Yuan Anping did things very resolutely, and after Zhang Wang agreed, he immediately took someone to Li Zheng, and then under the witness of Li Zheng, he signed a note for exchanging farmland for homestead, and Li Zheng wrote him an approval document for homestead, and he also gave Zhang Wang the note that Yuan Genshuo had set up at the beginning, and this matter was done.
Yuan Anping was in a good mood and walked home, and met Yuan Genshuo on the way.
Yuan Gen Shuo originally wanted to be close to Yuan Anping, in his opinion, how can the other party be capable, that is also his junior, especially if he has no father and no mother, he will not have to rely on his uncle in the future. He was still thinking about Yuan Anping's things at the moment, so he wanted to say a few good words to praise the other party first.
Yuan Anping didn't have the heart to nag him more at all, and he didn't even want to pay attention to the people who were even his own brother. directly told him about the land exchange, "Uncle, you don't need to send me the food in the field in the future, I will change the land to Zhang Wang, and I have already given him the note, he should talk to you, I will tell you in advance." ”
When Yuan Genshuo heard this, he was not happy, "Why don't you discuss it with me when you exchange land with others?!"
Yuan Anping smiled, "Uncle, although the land is leased to you, it is still mine, do I have to get your consent if I want to exchange land with others? Not to mention that I have already told Zhang Wang's family, the land is still for you to plant for the time being, anyway, it will not be a few years." And according to the division on the note, he was still satisfied. I still have to teach my children in the afternoon, and now I have to go home and prepare, so I won't talk about it for now. As he spoke, he walked away.
Yuan Genshuo was so angry that this land was exchanged for Zhang Wang, and he had to lose a lot of food in vain. Zhang Wang is not as easy to bully as Yuan Anping, and if he doesn't give enough, he will definitely make trouble with him. Compared with Zhang Wang's family, his family is still weak. I couldn't help but scold Yuan Anping in my heart: "What a rabbit cub!"
