"Grandpa, grandma!" Jiro trotted to the upper room. Old Man Liu and Liu Wang were wearing new clothes, sitting on the kang and waiting for their children and grandchildren to kowtow to them, and they laughed when they saw Erlang running in.

"Good grandson, come on, today you are the earliest, and the milk will give you double the New Year's money!" Liu Wang took two red envelopes and handed them to Erlang.

Erlang took the red envelope, quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Grandpa, grandma, I have something important to tell you!" ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Wang was a little anxious, "Is your daughter-in-law uncomfortable?" ”

"No, it's not! She's so good! Erlang waved his hand, "Today, Mrs. Wang talked back and forth, saying that she saw a few little cubs from the third uncle's family go to the fourth grandfather's house with those old things. ”

"These white-eyed wolves who eat inside and out!" Liu Wangshi obviously didn't understand what Erlang meant, "If there is something, it should also be sent here!" It is not clear who wants to enter, and he deserves to be poor for the rest of his life! ”

Old Man Liu is much more shrewd, he pushed Liu Wang's hand, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and call your fourth uncle!" Oh, call your uncle and your father. ”

"Alas!" Erlang hurriedly went to slam the door, "Fourth uncle, uncle, father, get up quickly, my father is in a hurry to find you!" ”

Several families have actually gotten up and are all packing up. The custom here is that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you must change into a new dress from the inside out, pay attention to auspiciousness, and let the people who come to visit the New Year see that their family has a good life. So the ladies got up early this morning and began to dress up finely, delaying for a while.

"Dad, why are you in such a hurry?" The boss Liu Chengwen was the first to rush over, and Liu Chengwu and Liu Chengquan also followed into the house, looking at the old man Liu who was sitting on the fence and frowning and sighing suspiciously.

"Erlang, come on." Old Man Liu pointed at Erlang, and Erlang took a step forward and happened to be in front of Da Lang. Da Yan frowned in displeasure, but did not say anything.

Erlang hurriedly told Mrs. Wang what she saw when she went out for a walk in the morning, and then said, "Their family is poor like that, and they don't keep food and drink when they have money?" Can you rush to give it away? I think they just want to find the fourth old lady to support them! ”

Liu Chengwu's family was not present on that day, so they did not express their opinions. Liu Chengwen looked at Liu Chengquan and directly put his hands up. Seeing that these two could not be counted on, Old Man Liu still asked Liu Chengquan, "Fourth, do you look at this...... Will they tell the story of that day? ”

"Dad, if you listened to me that day, wouldn't it be okay?" Liu Chengquan was very annoyed.

"That family met a lot of people on the way here!" Old Man Liu defended, "If it's gone in our house, how can we explain it clearly?" You still have to do scientific research! ”

Liu Chengquan sneered, "I also have the identity of a child now, and no one dares to do anything to me." Besides, my mother's hand bones haven't grown yet! When the time comes, it will be determined that they are unfilial and beat the old man, and we are angry before we say those words. Anyway, if there is no evidence, they can't win the lawsuit! ”

"You're right!" Old Man Liu breathed a sigh of relief, "But I always feel that if this matter is put here, something will happen sooner or later." ”

"Dad, don't worry. I know what to expect! Liu Chengquan remembered what he said to Cao, and couldn't help sneering in his heart. Dad, you don't have to worry about this. I don't think that family is blessed, so let's just not know them. Whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with us. ”

Hearing this, Da Yan looked at the expression of the fourth uncle, and was a little scared in his heart. "Master, why don't you write a letter of severance to them, just say that the two families will have nothing to do with each other in the future." If something happens to that family, the fourth uncle will not be implicated if he has a meritorious reputation, they will have to do business in the future, and he will also take the imperial examination, in case of a lawsuit, it will be troublesome.

"This is good!" Liu Chengquan sneered, "I'm about to take the hospital exam, and after the hospital exam, I will have the identity of a showman." I can't tell if they're going to be looked down upon because of who I am. It's already torn faces, and I don't want to cheapen them for nothing. ”

"Good!" Old Man Liu nodded, "I'll write it now, and the two have nothing to do with each other." ”

"Wait!" Liu Wangshi blocked, "If there is no connection, then what about our pension money?" Isn't there nothing? ”

"Mother! That's just a few bucks! Liu Chengquan smiled disdainfully, "When I become a showman, who will still put those two coins of silver in their eyes." ”

Liu Chengquan's ears were a little unhappy when he heard this. Over the years, all the money of the two old people has been filled in to the fourth, and if his family does not live in the town, he will have to work like the second and third children to provide for the fourth. Daddy's heart is really boundless!

"This year, Da Hao will also go to the exam with his fourth uncle, it would be great if our family could be double happy!" Liu Chengwen deliberately said this, in fact, he was also satirizing Liu Chengquan for reading books for so many years and still being a child. "Dad, mother, do you want Da Hao to go to the exam with his fourth uncle?"

"I'm not the same as Da Chen. He also has to take the county exam and the prefectural exam! However, I took the college examination directly, and I did not take a different path. Liu Chengquan had a gloomy face, "I still have to go to the homes of a few classmates to pay New Year's greetings, so I will leave first." Dad, if the fourth master comes to talk to you, don't forget my explanation. And the broken book, let people send it over early. ”

Liu Chengwen was also a little annoyed when he saw that his younger brother didn't give himself face so much. Shinong businessman, scholar has a high status, even if this person is not engaged in production and does not earn a penny by himself, he can be a businessman casually, and his brother who is richer than him has no face!

Liu Chengquan returned to the upper room where he lived and said to Cao, "I'm afraid what you said last time has to be advanced." ”

"What's going on?" Cao Shi was puzzled, "But what happened?" ”

"Hmph, those little cubs went to the fourth master's house early in the morning with the gifts, I'm afraid that the fourth master will preside over justice first!" Liu Chengquan slapped the table, "I originally wanted them to live for two more days, but I don't think it's necessary!" ”

Cao Shi smiled and nodded, "What Xianggong said is that it is just some small roles that are not to be worried, you don't have to take it to heart, you only study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and leave the rest to me." ”

Liu Chengquan sighed, took Cao's hand and said, "Sure enough, I am a wife and a virtuous man, with you and I really have a lot of heart." Don't worry, I'll be able to come back with a show this time. ”

Cao Shi bowed his head shyly and smiled, "With Xianggong's talent, he should have already been a talent, but his luck was not good." On the fifth day of the new year, I will go to Tanming Temple to burn incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the smooth and smooth of the Xianggong. ”
