The lush peaks of the mountains are stacked and winding endlessly.

From a distance, a narrow path like a streamer falls crookedly in the mountains.

After a closer look, I found that there was an ox cart bumping on the path, and a man with a sturdy figure was driving the ox cart, on which sat a woman in a goose yellow dress, with a pink jacket lining her skin like first snow, and her cheeks were like peach plums.

"Husband, how long is it left?"

Wu Song glanced back at Xia Mei, who was a little tired, and said with a soothing smile: "Soon, if the lady is cold, cover the quilt!" ”

Xia Mei was blown on her face by the cold wind, and couldn't help but shiver, so she had to pull a thin quilt on the ox cart over and roll herself into a ball, thought about it, and divided it to Wu Song, who was driving the car, and the two of them squeezed in the front of the car, walking slowly and leisurely in the mountains.

Looking back at the fixed eggs and pork, a jar of wine, tea, pastries, two silk cloths, and a set of gloves made of fur that Xia Mei tanned herself, Xia Mei said to Wu Song: "Husband, do we want to confess to Brother Tong that he lived in the yard for a few days?" ”

Wu Song nodded and said, "Naturally, if you don't say it, Brother Tong will think that his yard has been robbed, and he will definitely be worried." ”

Xia Mei stopped talking, sat intently beside Wu Song, her warm body was shaken, and she fell asleep after a while, her head resting on Wu Song's shoulder, Wu Song looked down, and the soft color flashed in her eyes.

Carefully took her into his arms, resting his head on his lap, and the speed of the car became slower and slower.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is the time to visit people's homes.

Yesterday, I went to see the village chief of the village, the Chen family, and today I went to the house of Brother Tong who was far away.

Brother Tong is a noble person for Wu Song, and even Xia Mei and Wu Song's family affairs are handled by them, and this friendship is naturally not shallow, just like the Chen family is to Xia Mei, so the etiquette of these two families. It's all top-notch.

Because they had to go back and forth that day, Xia Mei and the others got up early in the morning, packed up and sent Tang Bao to Xia's house, and the two drove the borrowed ox cart. Hurry on the road.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, but as a good hand who used to walk darts, this car rush is really difficult for Wu Song, in order to let Xia Mei sleep more peacefully. He drove the car extremely smoothly and without slowing down much.

After walking for two hours, Wu Song finally arrived at Baihua Village, and as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Xia Mei woke up faintly.

There was a moment of confusion in his eyes, and he did it instantly, looking around at some familiar scenery, "Have you arrived?" ”

Wu Songla stopped the ox cart, raised his hand to arrange Xia Mei's clothes, and said softly: "Lady." When you arrive, come down. ”

As he spoke, he helped Xia Mei down, parked the ox cart, turned around and picked up the things on the cart, and came to the courtyard in front of him.

Standing outside the door, you can vaguely hear the laughter inside the door, and it is very lively.

"Smack!"

When I knocked on the courtyard door, I heard a young female voice say, "Come!" ”

The courtyard door was opened, and the woman in the pink cotton jacket wore a beaded hairpin with a little powder. Xiao Jia Jasper's face was filled with joy that had not yet faded.

When he saw someone coming, he was stunned, and asked tentatively, "May I ask who are the two ......?"

Wu Song said politely: "In Xia Wu Song, this is a clumsy jing." Today, I came to visit Brother Tong and his sister-in-law. ”

Explaining her intentions, the woman smiled, chuckled and welcomed the person in, and shouted into the house, "Daddy, Brother Wu is here!" ”

Immediately there was a laugh in the room. In the blink of an eye, the Li family, who was wearing a delicate woman's bun and a bright red new dress, walked out of the room.

With a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

Seeing the visitor, the smile on his face widened a little, and his voice was high-pitched and joyful, "Oops! Why are you two here?! Hurry up, sit in the house, it's cold outside! ”

Tong Wanli also walked out of the house at this moment, and after not seeing each other for two months, the whole person became more and more energetic, full of joy.

Xia Mei secretly raised her eyebrows, is this any happy event?

Wu Song stepped forward with a faint smile and exchanged a few words with Tong Wanli, Li also came over and affectionately pulled Xia Mei to the house, the woman who opened the door before turned around to make tea, several people walked into the house one after another, Xia Mei, who was smiling and talking, glanced at it, and understood where the joy came from.

A young woman in the room was gently holding a swaddling baby, and inside was a baby who was not yet full-term, her eyes were half-closed, and her little face was slightly wrinkled, and she was about to fall asleep.

When the woman saw a guest coming in, she was about to stand up, but was stopped by Li, turned her head and laughed softly: "This is my daughter-in-law, Xiao Li," and then pointed to the woman who had just come in with tea, "This is my daughter, Fu'er." ”

Xia Mei and Wu Song greeted each other with a smile, Xiao Li took the child back to the bedroom, everyone sat down to chat, Xia Mei smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I said that your face is like a flower, and you are so happy!" ”

"It turns out that I have a big fat grandson!"

In a slightly ridiculous tone, it was a sincere blessing, and Li didn't care, and replied happily: "Sister, you're really right, since I got this baby grandson, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams!" ”

An exaggerated joke made everyone happy, Tong Wanli shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Your sister-in-law has been looking forward to her grandson for a long time, and this is finally coming out, and she refuses to let go all day long, so that the child's mother has not been holding for long!" ”

That Li Fu covered her mouth and chuckled, and took over the conversation softly, "Dad, don't talk about your mother, you yourself are not rare and have to do it." ”

Everyone laughed again, and after chatting for a long time, the Li family noticed what Xia Mei and they brought in, no way, the grandson is too worthy of showing off, and now it is almost touching people, the first thing she does is her grandson, so that everyone in the village knows her precious grandson.

With a slightly reproachful tone, the Li family had to return some of the gifts, Xia Mei naturally disagreed, the two pushed and shoved, and were persuaded by Tong Wanli to retreat, "Okay, you just accept it, after all, it is a piece of the mind of Brother Song and his brother-in-law." ”

Xia Mei nodded, and when she saw that Li had just accepted it, she said a little apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I didn't know that this nephew was born before, and when the moon is full, I'll make up for a big gift!" ”

Li Shi said angrily: "Look at what you said, no matter how polite you are, my sister-in-law will be angry." ”

After accepting the gift, Wu Songcai and Tong Wanli briefly talked about the things they had been hiding in the courtyard for a few days, and Tong Wanli frowned fiercely when he heard this.

"Brother Song, who the hell is it?! How can you have such a great ability? What kind of big guy are you provoking?! ”

Wu Song shook his head, signaled that he didn't know, groaned slightly, and continued: "But in the end, there is always no danger. And someone secretly helped us, and then never troubled us again, so I think it should be solved. ”

When he said this. Wu Song's fists clenched unconsciously, and his eyes flickered for a moment.

Tong Wanli was entangled for a moment, and he really couldn't find a way, so he could only say to Wu Song: "That...... Brother Song, you and your brother-in-law should be careful, if there is something, come to me. ”

Wu Song nodded. Xia Mei saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so she turned her head and talked about their new good grandson, and sure enough, the topic became hot in an instant.

After chatting for a long time, after lunch, the two got up to say goodbye, although Tong Wanli and his wife repeatedly retained, but Xia Mei thought that they still had to take care of the child, so it was inconvenient to bother. So I got into the carriage and turned back.

It was already evening when I got home, Wu Song picked up Tang Bao, Xia Mei made some noodles to eat, and the family ate the brine noodles with poached eggs, and washed and rested early.

Busy days always pass quickly, but when you are idle, the days pass faster, and you always feel that you haven't rested enough, and it's time for the restaurant to open.

The first day of the new year is early. The sky was not yet bright, and the fog outside was extremely thick, and when I looked at it, it was white.

Xia Mei lit an oil lamp and worked in the kitchen. I made a noodle soup with the leftover dishes of the New Year, ate it myself, warmed the rest of the pot, and then carefully put the dishes that had not yet been eaten, carefully placed them inside and out, and left a note. And he went out.

Wu Song and Tang Bao were asleep in the house, if it was usual, Wu Song would have been woken up a long time ago, but yesterday when he went to the village to eat and drink, he accidentally drank too much, so he was still asleep at this time.

went to the small courtyard of the Xia family to pick up Yunni and Wenxi, the three of them didn't care about taking the car, so they set off to the town, and walked to the ox cart that came to pick up people halfway before they met, and the three of them changed the carriage, sat on the car and huddled together, and took a break.

Looking at Wen Xi's frozen red ears, Xia Mei felt distressed for a moment, took off her earmuffs and put them on for her, "Put them on, don't get frostbite." ”

Wen Xi was shocked and wanted to return it to her, but Xia Mei refused, wrapping her face with the fox skin around her neck, indicating that she had no problem.

Wen Xi didn't shirk anymore, put on warm earmuffs, and remembered that Yunni didn't have either, so he stretched out his fur-gloved hand and covered her ears.

The three girls warmed each other's hearts, warming each other's hearts in the bitter cold winter morning.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Wen Hao and Liu Quan had already gotten up, and they cleaned the restaurant for a day yesterday, and today's work will be a little easier.

Burning the pot stove that has not been used for a few days, washing the tableware, boiling the soup base, and cleaning up the materials, Xia Mei is busy and can't wait to have a few more hands, you said that if she also lives in the restaurant, there will be no such trouble, the time is always wrong.

Of course, this is impossible, the Wu family's courtyard is the home she wants, a place where she can relax her spirit.

Although tired, Xia Mei never complained, in order to see her husband and son every day, it was worth it no matter how hard and tired she was.

Fortunately, she had experience in her previous life, and she had been running a small shop by herself for several years, and now she is busy like this, her brain will not be confused, and she is still doing things in an orderly manner.

More than two hours passed, and when it was time for dinner, customers came to the store one after another.

Today, most of the shops have opened, and the people who have not prepared the New Year's goods at home have come to shop, so the street is more lively, and the business in the store is also passable.

Xia Mei thought, it's similar to the New Year in her previous life, when all kinds of friends gathered!

Xia Mei's work in the kitchen is busy and her feet don't touch the ground, but Wen Xi's side is a little anxious.

"Miss Wen, you see that we signed the deed before, should we pick up the goods first?! This group of later, greedy people, should give way! ”

As he spoke, the gray-clothed man in front of him was full of displeasure, and he forcibly squeezed the person in front of him away.

It was Sun Ji who was squeezed out, originally to come to see the situation and see if he could see through any mysteries, but he didn't expect that he was hacked by passers-by first.

Staring at the gray-clothed man in front of him with a gloomy face, Sun Ji was as disgusting as if he had swallowed a fly, but he had to endure it, took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Wen Xi with a smile: "Miss Wen, I want to cooperate with your store, I don't know who to discuss with you?" ”

Wen Hao stood behind Wen Xi with a pen, his sense of storage has not been strong, everyone knows that Wen Xi is Xia Mei's personal disciple, and no one pays attention to the young man with a weak sense of storage.

Therefore, at this moment, Wen Hao stepped out and stood in front of his sister, and was undoubtedly questioned.

"Little brother, get out of the way, I'll talk to Miss Wen!"

Wen Hao stood firmly in front of his sister, looking at these people who were eyeing him.

"The newcomers who signed the deed will come back tomorrow, Mrs. Xia is not available today, and the store that signed the contract will come and pick up the goods."

The indifferent voice exuded an undeniable momentum, and his not very upright posture stood in front of Wen Xi like a god, blocking the fierce attack of these people.

Wen Xi was very moved, and whispered with red eyes: "Brother......"

God knows how much she doesn't like to deal with these people every time, she always feels that there is something different in her eyes, she is afraid of life, and it is even more uncomfortable to face these overly enthusiastic people.

Fortunately, with his brother in front of him, Wen Xi felt a little at ease.

The person who was about to push Wen Hao away heard Wen Xi's whisper and was stunned, what is the situation, this is someone's brother?!

For Wen Xi's sake, it was actually Xia Mei's face, the man sneered and withdrew his arm in embarrassment.

Sun Ji is really angry in her stomach, this little girl is really big, she obviously said that she can come after the opening of the New Year!

Hypocritically laughed and said goodbye to Wen Hao, and as soon as he walked out of everyone's sight, his face immediately changed to a cold and dull expression.

Flicked his sleeves, turned around and glared at the two back doors, and Sun Ji left angrily.

After more than half an hour, the people who picked up the goods were solved, and the Wen brothers and sisters returned to the restaurant, thinking that Xia Mei had told them about today's situation.

Wen Hao is ready to be trained, after all, he made the restaurant lose a customer, but he will not regret it, his sister is much more important than himself.

Unexpectedly, Xia Mei's movements did not stop, nodded and said: "That's right, those wait-and-see shops still have to sharpen their temperament, not to mention that I don't have time today, Mu San hasn't come back for some reason, where can I leave." ”

Wen Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and Wen Xi, who had been worried all the time, also burst into laughter.

Xia Mei felt Wen Xi's sadness, but she didn't plan to change her mind, you must know that sooner or later, these things will have to be taught to her, if you don't practice now, how can you do it well in the future?

After reporting their work, the two returned to their posts and started a new round of busyness. (To be continued.) )
