Since the last time the Deng family saw Mrs. Deng in the full moon of Binhama, the Deng family has not seen their own mother, so the Deng family proposed to send chickens to their parents' house with Li Zhu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Li Zhu happily agreed.

Li Zhu put the chicken into two baskets and picked it up with a flat pole. Master Mu's house was next door to Deng Juren, and he was very happy to see Li Zhu coming.

Li Zhu told Master Mu that he had been staying at Li Quan and Li Mu recently. Master Mu happily asked Li Zhu if he would like to come over to work part-time while staying in the town now. Li Zhu smiled and said that he had not decided. Li Zhu wanted to help Brother Quan and Brother Mu in his heart, after all, it was good to eat and live in other people's homes, and to help clean up or sell things. Li Zhu left three chickens for Master Mu, chatted with Master Mu for a while, and bumped into Deng Caixuan, who had just returned from the academy, and Deng Caixuan was very happy to see Li Zhu and the Deng family. While scolding the two of them for not bringing chickens over, he welcomed the two into the house.

Mrs. Deng was very happy to see that Deng was good-looking, and thought that this son-in-law was a painful person. Deng Juren was not there, Li Zhu and Deng Caixuan said that they would stay in the town for a few days this time, Deng Caixuan hurriedly found some books and asked Li Zhu to take them back to read, and explain if there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask. Deng nodded happily and promised to supervise Li Zhushu after returning to Li Mu's house.

Li Zhu and the two chatted at Deng Ju's house for a while, and then left. Mrs. Deng thought that they would have to stay in the town for a few days, and that they should have a lot of things to get when they first came, and they were not in a hurry to eat, so she did not leave them to eat.

Deng discussed with Li Zhu on the way, "Zhu, these days when you are in the town, just stay in the house and read, father and brother are Mr., if you don't understand, you can help solve your doubts, sometimes Mr.'s sentence is better than what you want for a few days, after you go home, you think alone, I'm afraid you think crookedly." I can embroider something, or help out in the shop, and do simple work. My embroidery can be sold for a few bucks, so you don't have to do a day job. Li Zhu thought that this was the case, so he nodded in agreement.

Li Zhu was reading in the room, and the happiest was Li Hai. Because he can nest on the kang in the open, in the name of letting his father teach. Li Tao and Li Bo followed Li Sibin and played. Deng saw that the two boys had been playing crazy for two days, so he detained them to practice calligraphy on the ground in the courtyard.

Deng offered to help in the shop, but Li Quan and Li Mu disagreed, saying that Miss Qianjin should not do this. Deng had no choice but to stay in the house to do embroidery and help cook and wash dishes every day.

Aunt Sun rarely went home, and took Deng and her two daughters-in-law to clean the inside and outside of the two families. Luo and Zhang sorted out the children's old clothes and gave them to Deng. Deng Shi looked at the two large bags of clothes and said that he would not accept anything. Everyone is living, and the old clothes will be changed to another child to wear, such a big bag, how much affection has to be undertaken. When Luo saw Zhang's resignation, Zhang shouted loudly that Deng didn't treat people as a family, and Li Zhu was busy accepting it when he heard it. The two sisters-in-law left satisfied. Deng complained that Li Zhu was ignorant. Li Zhu touched his nose and didn't say anything.

The days did not stop with the embroidery pieces in Deng's hands, and Li Zhu flowed in the running of Deng Ju's family and Mu Ge's family. During this period, Uncle Zhang reported a letter to Li Zhujia, which was brought by Uncle Zhang from Li Yutuo. The letter mentioned that the mother and Li Dao had gone home, and Li Dao had caught five chickens from Li Zhu, killed two of them when he went home, and planned to kill three of them for the New Year. Li Yu felt sorry for Li Zhu, so he couldn't watch the chickens.

Li Zhu and Deng Shi were relieved to see this, but they only lost five chickens, which was already lower than the loss estimated before. After reading it, Li Zhu hurriedly wrote a letter to his eldest brother Li Yu to make it clear, saving the eldest brother from guilt. Li Zhutuo Yu sent the letter back to the eldest brother.

A few years ago, Deng helped Aunt Sun to make glutinous rice cakes. Zhang and Roche washed the glutinous rice and soaked it in water, drained it on the second day, and steamed it over a simmer. Li Hongshen has a big rice bowl at home, which was used by Li Hongshen to make rice when he was doing farm work at home in the past. After the separation, although Li Hongshen's family had no land, he had feelings for this house, so Aunt Sun moved this house to the town.

Li Zhu and Li Mu are one by one. Because it was Li Mu's turn to sell glutinous rice this year, four large baskets of glutinous rice were prepared.

Eating glutinous rice cakes during the Chinese New Year is the meaning of sticky wealth, and people like it and want to eat it in every possible way. But not everyone has something to eat rice at home, and the glutinous rice has the meaning of sharing wealth with others, and most people don't let other people go to the house to make glutinous rice. Li Mu and Li Quan take turns selling glutinous rice cakes every year, and their business has always been good.

Before the Chinese New Year, Deng sold more than ten pieces of embroidery, with a little surplus silver in his hand, bought a pair of gold studs for Li Sixue, and bought a cotton coat for Li Sien, Li Sibin, Li Silin, and Li Simu. Uncle Li Hongshen's family said that the Deng family spent money indiscriminately, but the Li Zhu family was silent, and Li Hongshen's loud voice shouted and shouted, asking the Deng family to return his clothes. Li Hai was pushed by Li Zhu and said, "My mother said that her family only sent cotton clothes." Li Hongshen's family didn't say anything after hearing this.

New Year's merchants are busy. In the weeks leading up to the Chinese New Year, the town was like a market every day.

Li Quan and Li Mu were busy every day, and their lips were dry when they spoke, and Li Zhu offered to help after seeing it, but no one stopped him this time.

Li Zhu's family is not celebrating the New Year in their own home, and New Year's paintings, couplets, food, and things needed for the New Year, Aunt Sun prepared them together for her own home. Although this year is the first year after the Li Zhujia split, it is very simple. Deng repaired his cotton clothes and Li Zhu's, added cotton to Li Hai, Li Bo, and Li Tao's cotton clothes, and Binbin wore new clothes.

A festive New Year's Day for the whole family.

The happiest people in the New Year are the children, but not Lehi. Hamahama found that his brother was really afraid of the cold, and the closer he got to the end of the year, the weather became dry and cold, and Lehi generally did not go to the kang unless necessary. Chinese New Year's Eve, Lehi is also a person nesting on the kang to eat. Since Lehi was holding Hamahama, the family praised the child for being sensible and helping to take care of the child. Hamahama knows that this is not a good thing.

Because Li Quan and Li Mu's family had to do business, the family was busy like a spinning top, did not prepare anything, did not worship anything, and at the Chinese New Year's Eve, it was led by the eldest uncle Li Hongshen and worshipped to the sky. Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings, trapped, pork and green onions, Li Bo ate seven, with a big belly, causing the family to laugh.

Firecrackers are only available to the imperial court, and the imperial court sends firecrackers to scholars every year to show their noble status.

Li Hongshen's family is a businessman, and the family is used to it. After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Hongshen gave the children a profit. Li Quan and Li Mu are filial, and Li Hongshen has never been short of money. Li Hongshen gave the child 33 yuan, which means that he is violent. So did Li Quan and Li Mu. After Li Zhu saw it, he learned the same, and the same benefit is. Aunt Sun also prepared a new pair of shoes for each child, wearing new shoes for the New Year, and growing up quickly.

Li Hai's brother was very happy, and under the crying of Li Tao and Li Bo, Li Hai had no choice but to follow Li Sibin and his two younger brothers to the town to play.

Brother Li Hai's money this year does not need to be handed over to Mama Li, and the Deng family saw that neither the Luo family nor the Zhang family received the children's profits, so Li Hai brother and his wife took this amount of money.

Li Sibin's brother and sister are accustomed to making money, so they took the money and ran to the next street to buy a small noodle figure and a handful of sugar cakes. Li Sixue also bought a red rope and a ribbon. Li Hai saw that the ribbon was good-looking, so he also bought one and planned to give it to Binbin, while Li Tao and Li Bo each bought a red rope. Lehi had never eaten a sugar cake, and when he saw a white layer on the sugar cake, and when he saw something white in this cold weather, Lehi would feel cold and didn't buy it. Li Tao and Li Bo saw that Li Hai didn't buy it and didn't dare to buy it.

Li Sibin's eldest children, who rarely have money in their hands, went to the town center with the neighboring children to watch the lion dance, Li Hai couldn't outrun them, and the three children held hands and went home along the road.

Lehi came out less, looking all the way to the east and west. Lehi knew some words, and looked at the couplets all the way, lively and full of freshness. Passing by a shop selling gold, Lehi saw a sign written on the door: Thirty, a piece of gold.

Li Tao followed Deng out to buy gold studs before, and saw that his mother took a few silver in exchange for a little gold, so he was impressed. As soon as he heard Li Hai chanting Jin, he pulled Li Hai and said, "Jin, brother, Jin." Lehi looked at these words, and was also curious, and pulled his younger brothers into the gold shop.

As soon as I entered the shop, I saw three oil lamps lit in the shop, and the two shop guys looked at Brother Li Hai with wide eyes.

When Li Hai saw this battle, he was shocked, and a middle-aged man on the left, wearing a blue and black shirt and smiling like Maitreya Buddha, stopped them and said, "Boy, who are you from, your father and mother?" Lehi pointed to a piece of paper with thirty-one pieces of gold written on it, and Li Tao exclaimed, "Gold." Li Bo apparently gave up thirty, so he stretched out three fingers and said, "Thirty." ”

The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw it, these three children, who looked to be two or three years old, were wearing patched old clothes, standing there, not afraid of people at all.

The skinny monkey-like thin man next to the middle-aged man exclaimed, "You three boys can recognize the words outside the door?" ”

Brother Li Hai stood there, without too much expression, Li Hai said: "Thirty, a piece of gold." ”

The skinny monkey-like humane: "Lao Mi, I didn't expect that the last time we did business would be these three boys." The person who was called Lao Mi nodded and said with a smile: "Boys, come here, Uncle has some gold leaves, and now it's thirty." Come and choose. ”

The skinny monkey-like man took out more than 30 pieces of gold pieces as thin as the size of the little finger of a cicada's wings from the cabinet, and the gold pieces were placed irregularly, and he was called Lao Mi and smiled: "Boys, come and have a look." ”

Li Hai saw the gold pieces as thin as cicada wings put together, like a flower, thinking of the juan flower on Li Sixue's sister's head, there was nothing on Binbin's head, so he pointed to the pile of gold pieces and asked, "This?" Lao Mi was called and smiled in surprise: "These leaves are really beautiful together." Do you like this? Lehi nodded. Lao Mi counted the golden leaves and said, "Here are six pieces, a total of one hundred and eighty texts." If you like it, your uncle will help you pick up these leaves and won't charge you money. ”

Li Hai hurriedly took out the money in his hand, and Li Bo and Li Tao also took out their own money when they saw their brother taking the money. When the skinny monkey saw it, he smiled and said, "This kid is still rich." Lao Mi smiled and welded the leaves, and said with a smile: "This child's eyes are poisonous." I don't know which son's son it is, and he will become atmospheric in the future. The skinny monkey-like man smiled: "Lao Mi, I believe this, look at the demeanor of others, it is not an ordinary child." Lao Mi didn't stop his hands and feet, and he shouted: "Yes." I didn't see a flower when this leaf was left for so long, but look at this child, it will become a flower as soon as it comes. ”

Li Hai counted all his eighty yuan, counted Li Tao and Li Bo's money, the two brothers had a total of one hundred and seventy-eight yuan, and Li Hai used nineteen yuan to buy the ribbon just now, and Li Tao and Li Bo each used ten yuan. Li Hai returned the seventy-eight texts to Li Tao and Li Bo, and pushed the one hundred and eighty texts to Lao Midao: "One hundred and eighty." ”

The skinny-skinned monkey-like man exclaimed, "Do you count? Lehi didn't answer him, and looked at Lao Mi with the golden sheet.

Lao Mi took the money and said with a smile: "Monkey, other people's children ignore you, so don't shout." The monkey was hit and said, "This world is not ours, and going back to my hometown to farm is the truth." ”

Lao Mi smiled happily while welding quickly. Li Hai stared at the gold leaf on Lao Mi's hand, Li Tao and Li Bo put the money back in their pockets, stood beside their brother, and looked east and west.

Before the oil lamp dried, Lao Mi welded the leaves, wrapped them in a piece of cloth, and gave them to Li Haidao: "Child, take it." Li Hai looked at the small cloth in his hand, put it into the cotton clothes, and said with a smile: "Thank you." Then he took the two younger brothers and left. The monkey looked at the children and said with a smile: "Lao Mi, these three children are really lucky, I didn't expect you to be willing to weld this little thing for them." Lao Mi smiled, and said while closing the door: "Ming'er, we are not businessmen, pack up and prepare to go home." After hearing this, the monkey reluctantly said, "Alas, in fact, I am reluctant." Lao Mi said helplessly: "Think about your grandson, monkey, we are still businessmen, how can my grandson take the Xiucai exam." ”

On this lively night, there is a heartache sigh.

Brother Li Hai went home happily, and after Li Tao and Li Bo returned to the room, they gave all the money to the Deng family. Deng looked at Li Hai, and Li Hai took the golden flower from the cotton clothes, put it in front of Binbin's eyes, and said happily: "Binbin, Huahua." When Hamahama looked at the gold, he clapped his hands and smiled happily. Li Hai looked at Hamahama and smiled happily, and also smiled happily: "This is for Hamabin." ”

Deng Shi saw the golden flower in Li Hai's hand and asked in surprise, "Hai'er, where did the golden flower in your hand come from?" ”

Li Hai squeaked and said: "It's a shop, thirty gold leaves, six pieces, welded by Lao Mi." "Deng Shi took a closer look, and it was really six pieces of gold as thin as cicada wings. Deng Shi said strangely: "Thirty-one gold leaves? How is it so cheap. Lehi learned what the monkey said after entering the store, little by little, to Deng Shi, and Deng thought that it was the last day. Deng Shi looked at Jinhua and said with a smile: "This is the New Year's gift that Brother Hai bought for Binbin, let's wear it well." ”

Binbin smiled after listening to it next to him, thinking to himself, my brother and my father are different, my father is buying some things that people don't look useful in their eyes, and my brother will buy gold directly, how real. This is good!

Li Tao and Li Bo saw Binbin smiling at Li Hai, and also took out the red rope they bought, dangling it in front of Binbin's eyes, and Deng saw that the children were looking at his sister and smiling on the side.

After a while, Li Tao and Li Bo gave the money in the bag to Deng, and Deng took the children's money, and had mixed feelings for a while, this was the first time she received the children's laisee money. She packed the children's money in different money bags, and Deng said to Brother Li Hai: "Qian Niang will help you save it, this is your own money." The white one is Hamahama's, and Hamahama is now the most expensive. The blue ones are Hai'er's, and Hai'er's has no money now. The cyan ones are the waves, and the waves are black. Remember what color your purse is. ”

Li Tao and Li Bo responded: "Remember." ”

Li Zhu entered the door and saw that the children were all surrounding the Deng family, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”
