Erya heard that the rescued black dog was barking at the gate of the courtyard, so she turned her head to look at the courtyard gate, and at this time, a middle-aged man in his forties and an old man in his sixties entered the door together.

The two stood in the middle of the courtyard and stopped walking, waiting for the little tiger who was going out to meet them to approach. When Tang Mulin saw someone coming, he stood up in surprise, stepped over the bench and hurriedly ran towards the two people in the courtyard, "Dad! How did you find here? ”

His father saw that he was doing well, and he was so excited that he didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh. It took a while before I remembered that I hadn't said hello to the owner of the house! He was busy kowtowing to Xiaohu, but Xiaohu was scared a lot, and his hands were tightly supporting Tang Mulin's father's elbows. "Uncle! I can't afford you, so please stand up and we'll go in and talk. ”

The old man who followed him asked Tang Mulin: "Linzi!" How did you get washed up here by the water, the people in the Zhuangzi have escaped, why haven't you escaped? And what about your children? ”

Only then did Tang Mulin notice who was next to him, and hurriedly greeted: "Uncle!" You're here too? The child is asleep! I sent the child's mother to a high place, so I went back to pick up the child, in order to get a few more diapers, I delayed some time, and then I didn't have time to go up, so I was taken away by the water. Fortunately, I was rescued by the two brothers, Xiaohu and Daman, otherwise I would have died. ”

～.

Uncle Tang said: "You are really fateful, so far away, you can still float here alive!" Your daughter-in-law and your mother are crying and quarreling at home, both saying that they are the other party's harm, fortunately you are good, otherwise they will fight to the death one day. ”

Tang Mulin lowered his head, he was also helpless! The daughter-in-law and her mother, the two just don't deal with each other, otherwise this time, it can't be him alone, running around one by one. In the end, he almost died with his child.

The uncle saw that Tang Mulin lowered his head and didn't speak, and said, "I also saw that your family was noisy, so I brought your father over." I've been with other people's houses before, and I know how to get there. Otherwise, let your father look for it while asking, and I don't know when I will find it, and I can't tell if I can lose himself! ”

Tang Mulin looked up and smiled at his uncle. whispered: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

Over there, Xiaohu pulled Tang Mulin's father into the hall, turned back to Tang Mulin and said, "Brother Tang! Take this uncle in and eat at the table! ”

When Erya stood up and called his father in Tang Mulin, he went to the kitchen, first opened the small door and went to the well in the backyard, brought up the half chicken that was kept for tomorrow's food, and then went to the vegetable field in the back, picked a few autumn peppers, and a few pumpkin stalks. A tender pumpkin.

The chicken was braised too late, so Erya removed the bones, cut the meat into shreds, fried pumpkin and shredded chicken, fried pumpkin stalks and shredded peppers, and pasted a few egg wheat cakes, and it didn't take long for them to be served.

Erya said politely while serving the food: "Uncle, uncle." It's so small because it's hot. I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat too much and waste it, so I only made so much. You've got to finish eating! ”

The Tang family's father and grandfather, who were sitting and eating, hurriedly stood up, "Big girl! You're welcome, so much to do. Where is it missing? ”

"Sit down and eat! I still have to go inside and see the kids! "Erya has already eaten, so she said hello, went back to the back room to see the child, and asked the nurse to go out to eat." Auntie, go to dinner. I'll leave your share in the kitchen, you can just go to the kitchen and eat! ”

"Hey!"

The little guy lying on the bed, wearing Wen Yue's small clothes, white and chubby, holding his hands up, leaning next to his ears, his little mouth still moving, sleeping so fragrant and beautiful! Now it's like a little angel, and I'm going to become a grinder in the middle of the night!

Erya raised her fist at the little guy who was sleeping sweetly, and Wen Yue shouted nervously next to him: "Mother! Don't hit your penis! ”

"Good! Then you take him to sleep tonight! Can? ”

Wen Yue took off his slippers and climbed into bed, shouting, "I can take my little brother to sleep now!" ”

After dinner, they had to arrange for them to stay, two classrooms, which had been used by the Northlanders, one for women and children, and one for men, which were already a little crowded, and it was not good to add people in.

After that, the three of them had to be arranged to sleep in the attic of Xiaolong's house. At night, "Crying Yelang" really howled again, Er Ya didn't care about 3721, first woke Wen Yue up, and then lit the lamp, so that Wen Yue could play with "Crying Yelang", and he and Xiaohu continued to sleep.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the three of them wanted to hurry away while it was cool, so Erya had to quickly bake a few egg cakes and let them eat them on the road. I also filled a bamboo tube with brown sugar water and three bamboo tubes with tea water, and brought them with them.

"This small tube is brown sugar water, for babies to drink, and these three are tea water, for you adults to drink."

After seeing off a few people who had been thankful for a thousand thanks, Erya returned to the room and shouted at Xiaohu outside the door: "Xiaohu! I'll sleep a little longer, and if you're hungry, fry the egg noodles that are still in the basin. ”

Xiaohu stood next to the window facing the courtyard and said to the second girl inside, "You sleep!" Leave breakfast alone, I'll get it! When will I call you, and when will you rise again! Sleep more! ”

After July and a half, the rain becomes much less, and occasionally it rains, but it is also quick and short.

The road to the town was finally repaired to the crossing of the Wang's Zhuangzi, and all the stone bricks were paved from beginning to end, and this major road repair event was finally over.

Later, because of Erya's requirements, everyone paved the drying field with the largest size of the stone slab of the stone factory, looking at the slate and the slate, there is still a little gap, Erya sighed regretfully, if only there was the kind of cement in later generations.

She remembered that the grain station in their town had a big drying field, all made of cement, and the grain was really good, and she couldn't say how good it was.

But now the drying field of this stone is also okay, if the gap is really in the way, you can use wood or bamboo to make up for it.

On the second day after the drying field was laid, Erya asked Xiaohu to tell his uncle and uncle to pick out all the old grain in the granary to bask in the sun.

Xiaohu asked, "Daughter-in-law! My family has lent out so much, and I have given away a lot of people, and there is still food in this warehouse? ”

Erya asked rhetorically: "Why not?" We only lent out 100,000 catties. In those years, we had an annual income of one mu of land and two seasons, at least 800 catties, and we had 200 acres of rice fields that could be planted. Although we share it equally among the three families, one family can also get 50,000 catties a year. We haven't sold grain for three years, and our family has at least 150,000 catties.

I still have about 50,000 catties left in my house! Every time my grandfather said that he wanted to borrow food, I took it out like my uncle and second uncle. Not more than them and no less than them, so, I guess the three of us are about the same! You go and talk to the uncle and the second uncle, whether they are exposed to the sun or not. ”

Uncle, second uncle. came over with his sons, and the uncle said to Erya: "Little tiger daughter-in-law, let's pick out your family's rice to bask in the sun first, and then dry our family." We dry it one by one, otherwise we can't do so much in the drying field! ”

Er Ya couldn't ask for it, "Okay! I also asked the uncles in the Northland to help! It just so happens that the uncle and the second uncle are in charge, otherwise Xiaohu is alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it! ”

After the rice of the three families was dried, it was time to harvest the corn. Xiaohu and his family asked the people of the Northland to help harvest the corn. The second girl was busy cooking with the eldest aunt and second aunt, as well as the sister-in-law and cousin-in-law. Chickens, ducks, geese, and meat were all on the table, and it was much more sumptuous than the New Year's dinner of those two years. There are not so many dinner tables, and everyone is not particular, they are all a big bowl with half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of vegetables, and they run to the outside of the yard to stand and eat.

The men of the Northland chatted while eating: "Uncle! After harvesting this corn, we are going back! ”

The person known as Uncle looked at his nephew in surprise. Asked, "What!" You don't want to go back? ”

His nephew lowered his head and took a bite of food, and replied sullenly, "Hmm! ”

An old man next to him sighed: "Alas! It's good here. It's not our home! We always have to go back! ”

A middle-aged man interjected: "Otherwise, leave the child here to study for a few years, and then go back in a few years, and you can be a gentleman with us!" ”

The old man asked, "Didn't your boy follow along for a long time?" Are you planning to let him take the Xiucai exam? ”

The middle-aged man smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, Mr. said that my kid can study well, so I want him to study for a few more years to take the exam to see if he can get into the upper class!" ”

The old man chewed on a chicken bone. Sighing: "Hey! Or is your kid angry, my eldest grandson, who doesn't want to study, such good conditions, why don't you know how to cherish the blessings?! ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's the same everywhere." There are those who love to read, and there are those who hate reading. Isn't there a lot of people in this family who don't want to read and play at home! There are also Xiaolong and Anzi of Shoumin's family, who not only loves to read, but also can read, I heard that the gentlemen here can't teach them anymore, isn't it?! ”

The old man nodded, and said with sadness: "Although this side is only the descendants of two rooms, it is stronger than the descendants of several of our rooms!" I'm afraid I'm going to have to go here for a long time in the future! ”

The middle-aged man wrapped rice in his mouth, shook his head, swallowed the rice and said, "Not necessarily!" I don't think the grandfather here really wants to take care of our affairs, you haven't seen him for so long, he just cares about our food, drink and housing, once there is any dispute, he doesn't care, let us deal with it ourselves?! ”

The old man nodded, "Yes!" They are living so well that there is no need to ask for trouble. It's no wonder that these boys in our family are reluctant to go back, and even those little daughters-in-law and girls are not necessarily willing to go back. I heard that they all made a lot of money. Even the old wife of the Shi family, I heard that what kind of socks are knitted with them, they can earn hundreds of copper coins a day, which makes them go back, isn't it like digging meat? ! ”

The middle-aged man held the bowl and whispered hesitantly: "Or! Ask the grandfather over here if you can let us stay? ”

The old man shook his head, "It's okay to say that there are so many of us, isn't it embarrassing to ask?!" However, I listened to the meaning of the little tiger daughter-in-law talking to the grandfather here, which was to let us go back first, as if she still had arrangements, but she didn't say it explicitly, and I couldn't ask blindly! ”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer and asked, "But really?" I can listen to what they said in detail, the reason why the family is living so well is that it is the ability of this family's nephew and daughter-in-law. If she is willing to help us, then we won't have to worry about the rest of our lives! ”

The old man replied in a low voice: "Although I can't be 100% sure, but according to the few words I have heard intermittently, I can be sure that Xiaohu's daughter-in-law has plans for us, and she is not going to let it go!" (To be continued......)
