Chapter 278: The New Year is here

Xiaolong was on vacation, and when he came back, he brought a skinny boy home. Although Erya didn't understand what was going on, she didn't ask much, and treated Xiaolong very homely.

However, at the dinner table, Xiaolong took the initiative to talk about the classmate he brought back: "Sister-in-law! This is my classmate, named Wu Zhicheng. His health is too poor now, and he has to take the county exam next year, and I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it. I've often heard you say that loaches are comparable to ginseng, so I want him to eat more loaches at my house! Okay? Sister-in-law! ”

Erya was really speechless about this little dragon, everyone brought it back, and asked herself, okay?! If it doesn't work, it has to work! "Why not?! Isn't it just a few meals of loaches? There are so many at home. After eating, let your brother waterlog you! ”

There are indeed a lot of loaches and eels in her family. Because they want to keep it for seed breeding, this year's loaches and eels are not very willing to sell. At the beginning, the shopkeepers who came to the house to buy loaches and yellow eels were reluctant to buy more because they were too expensive, but later they were reluctant to sell more because of Erya, who wanted to keep the seeds.

Xiaohu looked at Wu Zhicheng, who was a little uneasy, and said, "Then you can't just eat loaches, otherwise you will get tired of eating them." Yellow eel, black fish, and soft-shelled turtle are all very replenished, as well as mutton and beef. When the time comes, take turns to eat, as long as you can eat, you can always make up for your body. ”

Since Wu Zhicheng came to Xiaolong's house, he has not stopped being surprised in his heart. I always thought that Xiaolong's brother and sister-in-law were at most four or five years older than Xiaolong, but who knew that they looked at least ten years older, and even his eldest nephew looked like he was seven or eight years old. No wonder his brother and sister-in-law are used to him, just like his parents are used to their children. Isn't it just to be able to give birth to such a big son! The table is full of meat and vegetables, and the dishes are carefully matched, and the hospitality of his classmates is the same, and he agrees to his brother's request without hesitation. It can be seen that this brother and sister-in-law are indeed very spoiled by this younger brother. What surprised him even more was that it was just an ordinary farmhouse. Why did you invite a nurse to serve at home?!

After eating, Xiaolong took his classmates and walked slowly to the field across the river with a wooden bucket, while waiting for his brother to come over with a waterlogging net and prepare waterlogging loaches and yellow eels.

Needless to say, Xiaohu's family is concentrating on entertaining their own little guests, and it is said that Liao Lin's family was very surprised today. Her anxious and worried family was finally led into the house by her own man in her long-awaited waiting.

"Father, mother, why did you come here now, do you know what scared me? I'm always afraid that you will take a fork in the road or encounter something bad, and I think about it at home every day. We're going crazy! ”

Her mother also knew that her daughter would be worried and anxious, but they couldn't help it. She was busy explaining to her daughter: "Hey! Bud (meaning child)Ah! It's not that we want to drag it out and not come, it's your mother-in-law and sister-in-law who are messing with us, and we can't leave! ”

Liao Chengzhi drove the carriage along the way. I haven't had a chance to talk to my mother-in-law's family, but when I suddenly heard that it was related to my own mother-in-law, I couldn't help but prick up my ears and listened: "The person you invited with the letter probably doesn't know the situation of your family." They shouted at my door. said that Cheng Zhi could have a future. I have become a big shopkeeper and made a lot of money, so I want to invite our family to enjoy the blessings. I don't know who passed this on to Chengzhi's mother, she took Chengzhi's sister-in-law to block our threshold that day, crying and scolding. said that your family was all done by me and your father, and I wanted to occupy her son Chengzhi. Every day at dawn, we waited in my house until dark, and we didn't dare to pack up our things during the day and go out at night. lest one of them sneak up on us and come to you. We were able to go this time because they were busy spending the New Year at home. We didn't dare to bring anything with us before we went to our house, locked the door and ran to the town to hire a carriage to the county seat, and then hired a carriage from the county seat to Fucheng to find Chengzhi. If it weren't for Chengzhi's easy place to find, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to rush to you for the New Year. ”

Liao Chengzhi listened, and he didn't feel anything except that he was helpless about his wife and sister-in-law. But Liao Lin was very nervous, and asked anxiously: "Then when you come, will someone follow you?" Don't let them all come along, then we won't want to live in peace. ”

Her father replied angrily next to her: "Your father is so useless? I can't think of this! When we changed carriages from the county seat, we had already paid attention, and we were also cautious to see if there was anything following the carriage behind! Don't worry, we haven't even brought in a ghost. ”

Liao Lin listened to what his father said and put his mind at ease. But her sister-in-law looked at Liao Chengzhi's unchanged face, but she felt a little embarrassed. No matter what conflicts there are between the sister-in-law and his family, it is a matter between their relatives. If they have said it too much, they will inevitably recruit their sister-in-law. She was busy laughing and interjecting: "Oops! Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, we are relieved to be able to come over and see you doing well. Those are the little things that don't matter, don't take them to heart. Except for the fact that it was not very convenient for us to do things in those days, nothing else was affected. ”

Liao Lin's mother also followed the opposite, she relied on being Chengzhi's elder, and opened her mouth to say that his relatives were not, although he didn't say anything, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't be annoyed. As soon as she thought of this, she immediately changed her words and boasted about her son-in-law's house: "Your sister-in-law is right, you seem to be really living a good life now!" You built this house yourself? That's a great way to look at! ”

The Liao family's house has the same layout as Erya's house, the first three rooms are wide and large faΓ§ade rooms, and the middle faΓ§ade is opened at this time, as a passage in and out. Since it is the faΓ§ade design, the door is naturally three-quarters of the wall hole that is open to the ground, and the carriage can drive directly into the courtyard, which is indeed a magnificent feeling.

The Liao family's most proud achievement recently is the small courtyard they started to build, and when they heard Mother Lin mention this, their eyebrows immediately danced.

"Yes! The real good of this house is yet to come! The first few rooms look magnificent, but they don't share the house. It is for the purpose of opening up the market here in the future and doing business. The house behind is the one to live in, there is a fire dragon, a bathroom, a bathroom, an attic, and the things that people hide are very beautiful. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, but it's not nonsense, and you'll know I'm not bragging if you live for a while. ”

Fortunately, after the new yard was built, Erya temporarily used a set of knitting machines that were originally placed in Liao's shopkeeper's house and later newly manufactured to the new yard where no one lived. This time, Liao Lin's mother's family came over, and they could arrange to come over. The Lin family is an old couple, Liao Lin's brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, and younger brothers, sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law.

In addition to the hall can not live in people, the other three rooms can be arranged for a family to live, the attic for children to live, the lower main room for adults to live, how to see how suitable. The Lin family and the concubines saw that Liao Lin's arrangement was clear, neat and refreshing, so they believed it from their hearts, Liao Lin's family sincerely invited them to come and live with their family, not just thinking about letting their father and mother come over. Then, the relationship between the sister-in-law became more harmonious and close.

Seeing that her sister-in-law and sister-in-law were settled, she asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, if you and your brother and brother and children also live here, do you like it?" ”

Her sister-in-law and sister-in-law were stunned for a moment, not understanding what the sister-in-law meant, but the thoughts in their hearts were clearly said: "We have no home or job here, how can we live?" I can't just rely on you to give me something to eat and drink! ”

Liao Lin smiled a little arrogantly, and said with a little pride: "There is no arrangement, I can say this, doesn't that cause you and our brother and brother to suffer!" Our owner now has several workshops that need people, and it is easy to recruit people. It's just that our host lady wants a few particularly reliable people who specialize in knitting sweaters. I thought that the character of the two of you is absolutely reliable, so I wanted to recommend you to work here, as long as you are willing to stay, I will immediately tell our host lady. I don't dare to say more in a month, but seven or eight hundred is no problem. It earns much more than the male workers in our county, and it is better than you farming at home! Why don't you take advantage of your time here to think about it and give me an answer when you leave! ”

As soon as the two of them heard that there was work to do and money to earn, their minds were already alive, but they didn't know what the sister-in-law was like, so they didn't immediately answer the sister-in-law's words, but only said that they would talk about it after discussing it with their parents-in-law.

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the children in Liujialing were anxious to cry when they saw the adults still eating breakfast slowly at home.

"Daddy, mother! Hurry up! The two eggs have already left in the carriage. ”

"You stinky boy, what's the hurry? It's not until noon to start the New Year's dinner, and it's not yet the hour, so you're in a hurry! ”

The child's mother helped her son speak: "His father! You'd better be neat and go ahead and help early. Don't you see that there are so many of them, and they pass before dawn! Our family has benefited because of the owner, and this time we turned over and lived a good life. But there are a lot of people who are red-eyed! If you don't be active and someone gets caught, if someone wants to come in and work, they can't hurt you behind your back, so that they can take your position?! ”

The man became nervous when he heard this, and while drinking the chicken noodle soup in a hurry, he secretly said, "What you said is true! The people in Tianhe Village were still inquiring about when our host would still be recruiting. I didn't care at the time, according to what you said, I will have to be careful in the future, if they are picked on by the team leader, it will be fatal. I'll take the boys with me when I'm done eating, and when you've finished serving the cattle at home, you'll hurry up with the village ladies to make a carriage. You just wait at the entrance of the village, and the proprietor has arranged a carriage to pick you up. ”

"Oops! We all know that you don't need to explain anymore, hurry up and leave after eating, don't rub it anymore! (To be continued......)
