Old Man Wu opened it to see what his grandson brought back, ouch, mother! It's sweaters, it's meat, it's candy, it's wine.

"Good boy! I knew that your owner was so generous and gave you so many things, so I wouldn't do New Year's goods! ”

Wu Zhichengniang snickered and secretly muttered to her son: "Don't listen to what your grandfather said as if he has been doing goods for many years, in fact, he hasn't bought anything yet!" It's just that there are a lot of ducks raised at home this year, and there are a lot of salted ducks pickled! Just show merit everywhere, in fact, the duck is still raised by your father and your brother. ”

Wu Zhicheng took the opportunity to ask, "What about the rabbits I let you raise?" Why didn't I see you send rabbits to sell? ”

His mother said with some embarrassment: "Originally, I planned to send fifty or sixty to sell, and make some new clothes for your nephews and nieces to wear during the Chinese New Year." But you came back with a letter saying that you were a gentleman at his house, and if we send rabbits to sell, we won't lose your face?! ”

Wu Zhicheng smiled helplessly: "Mother! How do you think that? I taught my book, you sell your rabbit, what does it have to do with face? Get! Put it there and keep it well, and I'll bring it over to sell after the New Year! This rabbit breeds fast enough! You take care of it, and I believe that in the next year, my family's life will be better. ”

His mother's eyebrows were about to fly, "Don't worry, we can raise it carefully." Every time the rabbit goes to the nest, your sister-in-law is busier than me, and she always gives vegetable leaves to the rabbit to eat. Makes your grandmother so angry that she almost beats her with a broom, but fortunately she still knows a little bit of proportion, and she doesn't feed all the vegetables she wants to eat at home to the rabbits. Otherwise, your grandmother will throw all the rabbits away! ”

Over there, the old man Wu took the toothpaste packaged in a bamboo tube and looked at it over and over. I really couldn't understand it, so I asked my grandson: "Zhicheng!" What is this bamboo tube for? ”

Wu Zhicheng, who was talking to his mother, hurriedly replied: "Grandpa! That's the toothpaste I brought back for you, and I'll teach you how to brush your teeth tomorrow morning. It is to clean the teeth. That's it! As he spoke, he grinned again, baring his teeth to show his grandfather, "How is it?" Are my teeth white and clean? It doesn't taste weird in your mouth at all, right!? ”

His mother hurriedly picked one up and exclaimed, "This is good! Tomorrow morning, son, you can teach me how to use it! ”

After the old lady of the martial family finished drying the New Year's poop cut into strips the size of her fingers, she also went into the hall to look through the good things that her grandson brought back.

"This one is so small. It's for your nephew, right? This aqua red is for your niece, right? Yell! What is this? What is it for? ”

His grandmother asked one by one, and he answered one by one: "This hat, the red one is for my niece, this fuchsia one is for my nephew, this black one is for you, this silver is for my grandfather, this is my mother's, this is my sister-in-law's, this is my brother's, this is my father's." These sweaters. You are also one for each person. This is a head flower, one for each of you women. It's just that these rabbit fur boots are a bit expensive, and only two children have them, not even me. ”

His grandmother heard the word Jin Gui. He said distressedly: "Since the gold is expensive." Don't give it to them. The child grows fast, and after a few days of wearing, his feet will grow and he should not be able to wear it! What a pity! ”

Wu Zhicheng listened to his grandmother's words, and remembered that Wen Chao, Wen Yue, and Qingzhu had to change their shoes every few months, and at that time he thought that the owner was too luxurious. Only now do I think about it, the child grows fast, and the shoes are small. You can't change it to a bigger one.

"Grandma! This is a gift from the owner to them for the New Year, so give it to them. Many of my host's children have new shoes. It's just that I can't wear it when I'm too small, and when I go back, I ask my host for a few pairs to wear for my nephews and nieces. ”

His mother has a good face, thinking that her son is a showman, and it is not good to find someone to ask for old things, so she poked her son in the back: "You want other people's old things, don't be afraid that people will look down on you!" Don't ask for it, the two children don't lack shoes to wear. ”

Old Man Wu said angrily: "Poor is poor, what is there to be afraid of being looked down upon?" and do not steal or rob. Let's be frank and honest, what is there to be afraid of? You take these hangs of meat to the kitchen and hang them up. Grandma, you put away these candies, and when the children come to pay New Year's greetings, take them out and scatter them for the children. Zhicheng, sit over there, our grandchildren talk, don't worry about their women's affairs. ”

Their grandfather and grandson didn't talk, because the father and son, who were helping to kill pigs at someone else's house, heard that the family's Xiucai Gong had returned, and as soon as they finished helping, they hurriedly ran home.

"Zhicheng! Why did you come back so late? We thought you weren't going to come home again for the Chinese New Year! ”

Wu Zhicheng stood up and replied to his father, who walked in quickly: "We are also on vacation, and we could have come back yesterday." It was the lady of the proprietor who had to pack up my things for me to bring back, and I thought that the family must need them, so I waited for a day. ”

His grandfather continued beside him: "The things his boss gave are all good things, and there is no need to do New Year's goods this year." I also brought a lot of meat back, and our pigs don't have to be killed, so let's sell the whole one! ”

"Daddy! That's okay! When Zhicheng held a celebration banquet, it was the big guys who pooled money and things. This year, our family has raised so many ducks and rabbits, and life is much better, so we have to invite the big guy to eat. We can't afford anything else, you have to ask someone to play the pig spring! If you can't bear this meal, the big guy won't dare to deal with our family anymore in the future. ”

Old Man Wu smiled embarrassedly, "Hey! Didn't I forget! Kill! Kill tomorrow. If we don't know how to get this rabbit skin, it's not a big deal to kill a few rabbits to taste for the big guy. ”

The two of them were talking about killing pigs, and here Wu Zhicheng's eldest brother pulled his younger brother aside and asked quietly, "Little brother!" Our uncle's family also wants to raise rabbits, so can I ask you? If it works, let's take a pair and raise them in the past. Also, your sister-in-law's mother-in-law also wants to raise her, and your sister-in-law is afraid that you will be unhappy, so she has never agreed. You tell your sister-in-law and let her give her a maiden home, the child has to go to grandma's house, right!? ”

"This will have to wait until I go back and ask the owner to decide, if his family doesn't want so many rabbit furs, my uncle will raise them for nothing, and it won't be a trouble for us at that time!"

"Hey! You're right, then I'll answer them like this. When we go to pay New Year's greetings, they will definitely tell you about it. ”

"It's okay! Just say it, it's not up to me to decide anyway! Can they still force me?! By the way, why haven't you seen my sister-in-law and nephew until now? ”

His eldest brother sighed: "This rabbit was originally going to be sent over to be sold, but my mother didn't let me send it." Now that there is no grass to feed in winter, your sister-in-law will take the two children everywhere to find old vegetable leaves that people want to eat. There are hundreds of rabbits in the world, and it's not a problem to be like this day by day. ”

Wu Zhicheng teaches in the Wang family, but he is not blind to things outside the window, he knows that the Wang family uses a greenhouse to grow vegetables, and rabbits can eat Chinese cabbage grown in the greenhouse.

"Brother! You don't have to worry, I will teach you to make a greenhouse and grow Chinese cabbage specially for rabbits, which is very simple. After finishing the greenhouse, the two of us spent 500 yuan to hire a donkey cart and pull all the adult rabbits to the owner to sell. Wake up early in the morning and get home in the evening. ”

His brother patted his younger brother with a gesture, and scolded with a smile: "You don't know how to save your life now!" Hiring a donkey cart only costs 200 yuan a day, if you give too much, how can others hire a cart in the future? You can't be so tricky when you have money! ”

Wu Zhicheng forgot that his own side was different because the consumption in Wangjiazhuang was relatively high, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Hey! It was my fault! My bad! ”

His grandfather looked at it and asked funny, "What did you say?" So lively! ”

The elder brother hurriedly replied: "We said that we will pull the rabbits over and sell them the day after tomorrow, otherwise there will be nothing to feed them in this winter, and it will be very troublesome." ”

"That's right! This is the right thing to do, and it must be done quickly. I see Niu Danniang looking for vegetable leaves to feed rabbits everywhere every day, and I am tired and panicked for her! ”

The simple greenhouse is very easy to make, as soon as Wu Zhicheng said how to do it, his grandfather understood, patted his chest and said that it was wrapped on him, and asked his brothers to pull the rabbit away and sell it early the next morning.

On the day that the Wang family sent Wu Zhicheng away, they then sent some gifts to Master Cha, who built the water mill, and the master and apprentice who built the water wheel, and the master and apprentice who built the water wheel, and went home for the New Year. Because these two pairs of masters and apprentices have decided to stay and work in Xiaohu's house for a long time. One of the second Ya arranged to build a building, and the other arranged to be a master in a new carriage workshop. Therefore, the gifts that were packed and brought back to them were much more expensive than last year. In addition to the fur coats worn by the two masters themselves, they brought one to their respective wives. Sweaters, large and small in the family, as long as the two masters have mentioned, each has one. The woman and the girl each gave two flowers. Wild meat, candy, etc., that's nothing!

The next day, the two pairs of master and apprentice were sent home by the Wang family's carriage, and when it was time to eat at noon, Wu Zhicheng and his brother followed the rabbit to the town's workshop. Erya's lobby brother-in-law knew Wu Zhicheng, and after calculating the money for them, he had to leave him at home for dinner. Brother Wu Zhicheng thought that since he came, he should visit his brother's owner, after all, his younger brother was in their house and was taken care of by them so well, so he had to thank others. refused the brother-in-law of the Liu family and followed his younger brother to Xiaohu's house.

In the shopkeeper Liao in Fucheng, on the one hand, the business on both sides was busy sweating, and on the other hand, he was forced to be exhausted by his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law who finally found him.

"Father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, you sit in the back to eat, don't follow me, okay? What else am I going to do like this? Are you forcing me to be fired by the owner? I said that when all the guests on my side are gone, I will definitely go in to accompany you, why don't you believe it? Can I still run? ”

Shopkeeper Liao was still enduring his annoyance and impatience to persuade his father, mother and sister-in-law, and a guy over there hurriedly ran over: "Shopkeeper Liao, you hurry up and go to the No. 3 private room, and the guests still want a plate of prawns that are served in limited quantities, but they have already asked for two plates, which is more than the limit." The host of the treat is quite fierce, if you don't go up, you can't do it! (To be continued......)
