Leader Zhao was annoyed and didn't want to deal with Xiaohu, but he didn't resent Xiaohu for saying that he hurt him, he glanced at Xiaohu sullenly, and said in a somewhat resentful tone: "Brother Xiaohu, my brother is a little rougher, but he is by no means the kind of hypocrite who is evil inside." Whether you want to drink or not is your business, but don't say that my brother wants to hurt you at every turn, it hurts your feelings! ”

Xiaohu saw that Leader Zhao was usually very arrogant, but now he was so serious, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. Only scratching the back of his head and pretending to be an idiot, and not drinking at the same table with him, after this night, Ming'er went south and north in the morning, going the other way, why do too many things.

But Leader Zhao was also stubborn, although he was very dissatisfied with what Xiaohu said, but he still forcibly invited Xiaohu to buy a table of wine and food in the hall, and he drank his own and did not force Xiaohu. But Xiaohu was skimmed by his resentful eyes when he took a sip of wine, and hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food for the diaphragm and ran away in a panic.

Xiaohu got up several times in the night, when he was with Li Darthead before, these vigils were done by Li Darthead with his subordinates, this time because they had no valuables in their goods, and there were no large number of silver tickets on their bodies, so Xiaohu let Li Darthead go first, and also let him take all his subordinates away. Although there is no need to guard all night like Li Darttou and them now, what should be inspected at night is still to be inspected.

Before dawn, Xiaohu inspected again, and happened to meet Leader Zhao who also got up to check his goods.

Xiaohu greeted him and asked, "Brother Zhao is so early, are you planning to leave?" ”

Leader Zhao shook his head. "Before it was time, I got up and looked at the goods. Clever thieves generally choose this time to strike, one is because it is dark and they can't see their fingers. The other is because ordinary people sleep most soundly at this time, and it is easy to lose their vigilance. So, I'm used to getting up at this time to check the goods. After reading this once, I have to go back to sleep again, and my spirit on the road during the day will be better. ”

Xiaohu is not like Leader Zhao, even if he is usually at home, at this time or later, he has to get up and start exercising. But they wake up early and go to bed early. However, there has never been such an oolong thing as lack of sleep and weakness.

He nodded at Leader Zhao, who had finished speaking, and saw Leader Zhao, who had finished checking his goods and went back to sleep, into the house, while he stayed in the open space in the courtyard and began to routinely carry out his own exercise program. He's not afraid of people peeking at him. They have been trained for a long time by enduring hardships and hardships, and it is not something that anyone can watch with a few peeks.

When Xiaohu left with the men and horses at dawn, Leader Zhao had not gotten up yet, and Xiaohu only left a message for the innkeeper. Without waking up Leader Zhao, he left first.

It's not yet the time of the Northland king's family. The first heavy snow of the year began to fall, and the people on the roadside, both adults and children, were happy to report the good news to each other: "Oops! Next year looks like a good year! Although the first snow of the year came a little late, it was really big! ”

"Yes! Yes! It was only a little while, and the ground was completely white. This snow must be small. "This is a benefactor who once fled to a place in the south because he has special respect for the benefactor who saved their lives there. So the speech is also a bit like the straight tongue of the benefactor, which makes people sound a little weird. But the locals who escaped with him. They also received the favor of the man, so instead of laughing at the man's strange speech, they all felt that he could always remember the benefactor.

Xiaohu commanded the people to hurry forward the carriage, and at the same time, he also had to take care of the fur and wool in the carriage, which could not be wet, and floated into the snow. Fortunately, it was not far from the big Zhuangzi where the Wang family lived, and they were in a hurry, and they were still able to arrive before dark.

They squinted and bent over in the wind and snow, pulling their horses with difficulty. I was also a little anxious, afraid that the heavy snow would be too urgent and the road would be closed. Seeing a group of people stopping at the fork in the road ahead, Xiaohu raised his hand vigilantly and ordered the convoy to stop. I didn't want those people to run over to Xiaohu and them, and when they ran to them, they knew that it was Daman who led people to wait here to meet them.

"Daman! How did you know we were here today? Xiaohu exclaimed in surprise, he was worried that the heavy snow would cover the road, and they were not familiar with the road conditions, but they were afraid that they would not be able to reach their home before dark, and the villages here were far away, and there was no place to rest for the night. It's great to have Daman and the locals come to pick them up now.

Da Man pulled the snow on his forehead, and replied: "I have sent people to meet you all the way every day, and today I also sent people who saw you coming from a distance and ran back to report the news." I hurriedly brought these people to pick you up, for fear that you would go wrong and wait at the intersection of this must-pass place. Ay! Speaking of which, there is really a lot of difference between you and you! The few horse-herding masters sent by General Qin have been here for more than half a month. ”

The people brought by Daman to lead the way in front are much cleaner than when they squint and can't see the road clearly. Xiaohu didn't have to bother looking at the road anymore, he walked next to Daman without worry, and when he heard those few wranglers, he asked casually: "How are those horse herding masters, is there anything special?" ”

Daman replied to him funny: "I don't know how to raise horses, where can I see if they have anything special?!" However, I think you've got a lot more horses than we've done before. ”

Xiaohu smiled and nodded, first of all, he must have a full eye, "You are good, you can watch the horse!" Then he boasted about his good popularity: "This is a good horse that they specially selected for me when they heard that my horse this time is not for sale, and I keep it as a stallion for my own stallion and will open a horse farm in the future!" Ah! In other words, the popularity of the little brother can still drop! ”

Daman twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: If I go, I will be just as popular with them!

When the snow completely covered the road, they were already sitting in the dining room of their grandfather, drinking hot radish broth and eating fragrant pancakes.

After dinner, Xiaohu was a little worried about the livestock sent over this time, and chatted to Daman worriedly: "The snow is so heavy this time." What about those animals! If you just leave it outside, you can't freeze to death? ”

Da Man was so angry that he was like a little tiger, and said angrily: "You are dead to me!" Obviously, before you left, you said that you would send livestock from the grassland this year, can I not prepare in advance?! sheepfolds, horse sheds, cattle sheds, fodder. I have prepared all the people who raise the cattle in advance. Except for the first time when I brought people to bring animals, I was the master of a few sheep to entertain them, and there were many other animals. ”

Since the most worrying thing in his heart has long been resolved, Xiaohu doesn't care. He smirked and asked about something else: "Brother Daman! It's snowing heavily. In the future, it will be frozen, and it won't be able to open the ground anyway, so you might as well go back to the New Year with us. Wait until the spring thaws next year! ”

Daman nodded, "I plan to do the same, this year everyone is not very familiar with those farm tools, and we have opened nearly 10,000 acres of land." It is no problem to reclaim 50,000 acres within three years. So. I don't have to worry so much, and I can go back this year with peace of mind.

Ay! That's right! There is another good thing to tell you, the mountains that my brother and daughter-in-law looked at before, the government means that as long as they are within the boundaries of our reclamation, they are considered ours. However, if you find gold, silver, copper, and iron minerals, you must report them to the government and you must not mine them privately. Otherwise, the sin is complicity in rebellion! When my brother and daughter-in-law took us to see those mountains, they didn't say that there were these minerals. So I don't think it's going to be a big deal! ”

Grandpa sat alongside, and he didn't understand what the two brothers said. But he can't interject and ask anything! Don't look at these two children as his juniors, but he knows that the entire Wang family is supported by them. If they want to live well, they have to rely on them. The sixth uncle (grandfather) in the south just drew a way for the Wang family in the north, but it was the two brothers of the Wang family who could really lead them to prosperity.

Xiaohu was indeed ecstatic when he heard Daman's words, but he had already cultivated the ability to no longer be invisible, so his face still looked quite flat. What a pity! It would have been perfect if his breathing had been smoother! Da Man looked at Xiaohu's pretended calm surface with a narrow smile on his face, but he couldn't hide his rapid and heavy breathing, he just wanted to know how long this cousin could pretend.

Xiaohu was furious by him, and said deflatedly: "Okay! Don't look at me so weirdly, I admit I'm excited, I'm excited, okay! ”

Grandpa also looked at the two young and promising nephews happily, listening to what they meant, what kind of boss is this big advantage! Hehe! There is a cheap advantage, good! When they eat meat, they always leave some soup for their family to drink, and if they are lucky, they can even fish for two bones with meat to gnaw!

The more grandpa thinks about it, the better his mood is, as soon as this person is happy, he will become talkative, and there is no way, this is a common problem of people. Grandpa couldn't help but add good news to the heads of the two brothers, gossiping about the peach blossoms: "Little tiger! Don't you know, Daman is happy with the big girls in our place now! Even Lizhen came to ask, and wanted to marry Daman! ”

"Huh!?" Xiaohu turned his head to look at Daman in shock, Daman shook his head helplessly at Xiaohu, and said, "Don't listen to grandpa's nonsense, that's because people have this idea, I didn't agree." ”

Daman wanted to make a fool of the past, but he couldn't do it, Xiaohu joked happily: "If you don't make this matter clear, don't think about sending me away, how old is the girl in the town there, and is she good-looking?" Is the temperament good? Have you met anyone? ”

Daman said a little impatiently: "I don't know! I haven't seen it either. The eldest daughter in Lizhen was separated from her husband's family because she did not give birth. When I heard that I already had a son, I wanted to marry me. But I'm just a son of Qingzhu, so what's the matter! I also want to have at least two more children, even if it is good to have a son and a daughter! When the town heard that I still wanted children, they didn't say anything more, so you don't have to worry about it! ”

Xiaohu knew that Daman was the one who refused for this reason, so he was silent for a while. In fact, he kind of wants Daman to settle down here, so that at least Qingzhu can be raised in his house as a matter of course. There is no need to have any intersection with his stepmother in one way or another. Without the entanglement of life and property, there will not be too many contradictions to erupt. This is a good thing for Qingzhu, and it is also a good thing for Daman, his later daughter-in-law, and the children born later. (To be continued......)
