Chapter Seventy-Three: Family Affairs

Originally, as long as Li Dart took them back to the provincial capital safely, they would complete the dart.

As a result, several people thanked Erya for the horse they gifted, and after returning to the dart bureau to report, they took advantage of the rest time given to them by the dart bureau to escort them home.

They went home with great momentum, more than 20 horses, more than a dozen carriages, and entered the village in a mighty way.

Not to mention the discussion and speculation of people along the way, just the Wang family Zhuangzi, adults, children, and the elderly, all ran out wildly.

"My mother! So many horses! ”

"Little Tiger! There are so many cars, what are they loaded in!? ”

"Daman! Did you really run out of the border? ”

"Oh Dahong! You've pulled so many things back, how much silver do you have to pay?! ”

"I want to be a child! You're amazing! Did you really bring so many things back? ”

"Come on! You went too? If you are so small, you dare to run along! Really good! ”

"Ouch! That's Xiaohu's daughter-in-law, right? I can't even recognize this outfit! I thought it was the kid from that family! ”

Erya, they smiled and distributed many pastries specially bought from the provincial capital to the villagers. Big and small, young and old! While they were busy eating pastries, they stood out from the crowd, led Li Bangtou and his men, entered the house, boiled water and made tea, and entertained them.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle took the coachman and were busy tying up the horses and unloading the things on the cart.

Cousins and cousins also followed to help move things.

Uncle finished his work and sent the coachmen away. He beckoned the people in the Zhuangzi and entertained them in the evening, hoping that their families would come.

Some agreed, and went back to work. Some agreed, but they stayed there to watch the horses and compare their advantages and disadvantages.

The third uncle was also at home, and he couldn't come back in time to catch up with the big water in the south, and when he got home, he was relieved to hear that Erya had left with a few brothers.

It's not that he doesn't want to take them to run the business, just because Erya said that he would bring tea to the north to exchange things and come back.

At that time, I didn't know that the tea leaves out of the country were to buy tea, so I agreed. Later, when I found out, I didn't really want to go.

I suddenly heard that Er Ya came back safely, and brought a lot of things and horses back, and somehow in my heart, some things were not good. But grandpa urged him to go over and have a look, but he couldn't help but go.

The third uncle entered the door and was secretly surprised when he saw Li Dart's head. When this Li Dart head himself was in the provincial capital, he would often see it. The dart game they often invite is also the dart game of Li Darthead, but the dart silver is different.

Like Li Darttou, he can't be invited without thousands of taels of silver. Erya, they actually took so much silver to ask for a dart game, just to run a business!

It seems that he really underestimates people! No wonder Grandpa always looked at his disapproving appearance and shook his head!

Er Ya and Xiaohu saw the third uncle coming, and hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Third uncle! You're here! ”

"Hey! Here it comes! Your grandfather sent me over to see you, and he said that your family has a guest, so he won't come to make trouble. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will come and see you. ”

After the third uncle and Li Darttou greeted each other, they sat down, and the second girl asked the third uncle: "Third uncle!" You didn't go out this time? Are you going to go out before the end of the year? ”

"Maybe I won't go out, it's almost October, no matter where I run, I won't be able to come back before the Chinese New Year. So I just rested at home, and I haven't had the opportunity to stay at home for so long for several years. ”

"That's right! When did you get home? I'm worried that the wool won't be able to catch up, so I'm in a hurry to pass by myself, third uncle, don't blame you! ”

The third uncle smiled and said, "It's good that you didn't blame me for almost misleading you!" How else can I blame you?! ”

Everyone talked about the road again, about the encounter with the robbers, Li Darttou told them not to mention it to others, although they didn't know why, but they were very obedient and didn't mention it.

After eating at the uncle's house, Li Darttou said goodbye and left. His horse, which looked unremarkable among the many horses at the beginning, now felt tall when it was set off by those gray horses.

Watching them ride their horses handsomely, they shrugged away. The third uncle sighed for no reason, said hello to the second and walked back.

Erya suddenly remembered the horse she wanted to give to the third uncle, and hurriedly chased and shouted: "Third uncle! That jujube red horse was picked by the big brother of the dart head for you, you can bring it back! ”

The third uncle turned back in disbelief: "What? And my horse? ”

Xiaohu stepped forward and said, "My daughter-in-law said that you are often running outside, and you really need a horse!" We don't know how to choose a horse, so let the big brother choose one for you. ”

People who often run outside have a hard heart. But the third uncle was still moved, turned around and led the horse, thanked Erya, Xiaohu, and Daman, and went back with a complicated mood.

The guests were gone, and they didn't care about chatting, and the eldest aunt and the second aunt wanted to ask them how they were doing along the way, but they were busy killing chickens and ducks, and preparing dishes for the evening.

Although the moon is bright in autumn, it is still not possible to shine on the food.

At night, there are still a lot of torches, illuminated!

This time, the big guys are not as polite as before, and they all know that the Shoufa family now has more food, chickens and ducks, and they are not afraid that they will eat one or two more bites.

A large pot of braised chicken and duck meat was served, all of which were pure meat, and the fried vegetables were set aside.

Erya was busy cooking vegetables, and Xiaohu and Daman accompanied the neighbors to eat and chat.

Someone asked: "Are the people in the north rich?" What are the houses like? ”

"Rich or not, I don't know! However, their house is small and low! The big brother said that it is cold in the north, and the kang must be burned in winter, so the house cannot be high, otherwise it will not be hot. ”

Someone else asked, "Then are they all paddy fields?" Isn't the food the same as our family? ”

"Out of the provincial capital to the north, there is a piece of Pingyang, but it is not like our home, which is high and low-lying down! Most of the rice fields on our side are planted with rice, and the further north you go, the more you grow wheat in the dry land, and on the grassland, I have never heard of any barley. ”

"That's different, that prairie is weird! It's hot on our side, and we have to wear thick clothes when we get there. ”

"It's a long way off! The people there are talking, gurgling, and they don't understand at all! ”

"There are mountains in the north, but the mountains on their side are scattered. My daughter-in-law said it was sand! ”

"The grassland over there is so big! There's no end in sight! ”

The third uncle also sat in the middle, and he knew what they said.

But I felt the difficulties of the road all the way, and I never paid attention to anything else.

Xiaohu and Laizi are new to see everything, and going out is not like running a business to make money, but like coming back from a trip.

Is it a difference in age, or a different mood?

The next day, the whole family was able to have a good chat.

The things on the road are all picked up and said, and they are happy to hear them.

There is nothing at home that is inseparable from them. The general structure of the house has been built, and the inside is waiting for Erya to come back.

Now the school is being built, and it is also being built according to Erya's drawings, and it will be possible to go to the beam in two or three days.

The wool knitting led by the second aunt is very good, and the existing wool has been used up. The wool is all spun by the aunt, and the coarse ones can't be spun, they are all fine wool. Fortunately, the thin thread is used slowly, so that the aunt will not be urged to sweat.

After eating and talking, I was busy sorting the furs. After finishing those, the two of them went to their parents' house.

The second girl saw that the two of them came back safely, and wiped her tears happily.

"You're finally back, I've been worried! It's such a long way, and if there's something, the family can't rush over to help. In the future, don't go out, it's hard to worry about this day and night. ”

"Mother! I have a score in my heart! Otherwise, they wouldn't have run out recklessly. How's Daddy's house going? ”

"It's all built, and it's all done as you said, inside and out. I'm just waiting for you to come back and arrange for someone to come in. ”

"Then, mother! Did you find all the people I asked you to find? ”

"Found! Most of them are willing to come, but they are a little worried and want to take a look first. ”

"That's fine! When the beds and furniture were put in and the kitchen was ready, they were invited to come and visit. If you are willing to stay, you will stay, and if you are unwilling, we will not force it. And those orphans are like this, if they are willing to live with me, we will treat them well, and if they are not here, we will not force them. ”

"Hey! Your father said that the beds, furniture, and kitchen have been made and can live in people. ”

Erya said happily: "That's good! Mother, hurry up and bring someone over to visit. When they all come, I'm going to teach them how to knit yarn, so I'm in a hurry! ”

"Good! I'm going to find someone tomorrow! ”

"Thank you, mother! My aunt and uncle are so busy that they don't dare to find trouble for them anymore, otherwise they won't be able to stand it and will resist dripping! ”

Her mother knocked on the second girl's head in disgust: "You kid! My family still needs to say so much! ”

Erya pretended to be in pain and rubbed her head, baring her teeth and screaming. Xiaohu looked at her funny and reached out to help her rub it.

They took the pastries to visit their grandmother, and then they returned home with a basket full of sun-dried autumn peppers, dried lentils, red cowpeas, dried beans, and dried amaranth.

When I got home, I saw the eldest aunt arguing with Daman, and when I saw them come back, I didn't say anything.

"But something!?" Erya looked at the eldest aunt and asked.

The eldest aunt's eyes were red, and she opened her mouth to say, but Da Man shouted next to her: "Mother! ”

The eldest aunt was angry all of a sudden: "What? You're getting good now, aren't you? I don't agree with this or that, but you say that one agrees! ”

Hearing this, Erya means that Daman is not satisfied with his family!

"Auntie, has someone introduced you to Brother Man?"

"Yes! I've introduced several of them, and I can't do that before I go! It's back, and it's still there! Are you in a hurry? ”

Xiaohu was busy helping Daman speak: "Uncle! Didn't you just come back? What are you doing in such a hurry! Wait, maybe Brother Da Man will have a crush on someone! ”

The eldest aunt sighed and chatted with the second girl: "Tell me!" The family is poor and has no money to say that the daughter-in-law is in a hurry, and now that people are looking for the door, he is unwilling, and I am anxious. You say, what kind of life do I have? ”

Erya comforted: "Just tell Xiaohu, wait and see." He doesn't agree that you can't force it, lest you can't live in the future, and you will complain! The family doesn't stop yet. ”

"Yes! That's all there is to it, otherwise what else can I do? The eldest aunt gave up helplessly.
