When he returned to Lijia Village, it was already noon, and Xiao Yang'er sent Situ Yan home, and then took the fish and drove home.

Li Dalang saw that his little sister hadn't returned at noon, thinking that the village was leaving food for him, so he didn't care. After lunch, a few people then wiped the ashes in the house, and they didn't see her enter the hospital for a while, Situ Yan saw that no one was busy putting the fish into the ring, and he wanted to surprise his brothers.

went into the main room first, and Li Dalang informed a few people, "Big brother, I'm back!" ”

"Aunt Fu'er's family is also busy, right? You can eat a full meal for lunch. When Li Dalang sent his little sister out in the morning, he knew that she went to Aunt Fu'er's house to discuss the embroidery work, so he asked casually.

"It's full, Aunt Fu'er is busy, but she doesn't let me interfere. It's just that my brothers are tired of working hard at home. ”

"I'm not tired at all, even if Xiao Wu is at home, I won't let you stretch your hands, this little work, I and my eldest brother, as well as the junior and junior seniors, will be able to finish it." Li Erlang interjected on the side.

"Yes, my brothers are the most capable, I'll go and make food for my brothers." Situ Yan cleaned her hands first, and then went into the stove room to prepare the evening meal.

The little sheep went home, and Aunt Fu was still a little unhappy, "Sweep the dust today, how are you, where did you go crazy with the ox cart?" I didn't know how to help my family after a big day. ”

"Mother, give." The little lamb never talked much, unloaded the ox cart and fed it, took the fish into the stove and handed it to his mother.

"Ouch, where are you from? There is nowhere to buy this expensive thing? Come and see what the little lamb has brought back! Aunt Fu'er's voice, not only Muramasa, but also Lao Cunzheng and her second son Li Guisheng shouted.

"Look at how happy you are, what rare things did the little lamb bring back?"

"Yo, it's really expensive, this is a carp, it's so big, I'm afraid there are more than a catty, where did you get this little sheep?" Muramasa was only happy for a moment, and he was more worried in his heart, not knowing what his son had done with the ox cart in the morning, and he was afraid that his son would be young and ignorant and would get into trouble outside.

"Little Five gave it." Xiao Yang'er couldn't lie, but he promised Situ Yan not to tell anyone about their icebreaker fishing, so he only said who sent it, but didn't mention how it came from.

"Is that the girl's bullock cart?" When Muramasa heard that it was Situ Yan's car, he was relieved, and with this girl, the two of them couldn't do anything out of the ordinary. "Which play is that girl singing, or is she watching the 'play' again?"

When the little lamb saw his father asking, he didn't answer, and worked with his head down.

"Why don't you say what your father asks?" Aunt Fu nodded her son's head with a smile, "It's like a stuffy gourd all day long." Her son was able to walk in with Situ Yan, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, with that girl with you, nothing can happen!" Lao Cunzheng looked at the fish again, and his heart was beautiful, "Eldest daughter-in-law, this fish is picked up and frozen first, one is kept for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the other is used to worship ancestors." ”

"Master, this fish is still alive, I'll raise it for two days." Li Guisheng found a wooden bucket to fill the fish, and he was squatting there at this time looking at it happily, listening to his grandfather wanting to kill the fish, and he was reluctant to hug the bucket.

"Okay, just listen to Guisheng, raise it for two days first, then you have to take care of the fish."

"Don't worry, sir, I like it!"

Busy after the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, it is the twenty-fifth of the lunar month, the family began to boil the paste to change the window paper, this is the last big day of the year, the business will be very good, early Situ Yan put the things on his back, and his brothers took the lamb's ox cart into the city.

"Little Wu, there are so many people rushing to the market today, we must sell this thing. Otherwise, don't go to copy books today, find a teahouse to sit for a while, and rest. Li Dalang felt sorry for his little sister and didn't want to see her suffer.

"Big brother, copying books is a good thing, I copy it differently every time, it's equivalent to reading a book for free, and you can get money, this is a good thing, I don't want to break it, my brothers sell it first, I go first."

Li Dalang couldn't persuade him, so he let the little sister sell it with Shiro first, and sure enough, today's things are very easy to sell, and in less than an hour, 2,000 pieces of dim sum were sold, and he collected things to find Erlang and Sanlang, and saw that they were also collecting stalls.

"The second and third are almost, we have to hurry, otherwise the fifth will come back." They discussed it last night, the pocket money given by the little sister last time, they didn't spend a penny, a few people thought about buying something to give to the little sister, this discussion for a long time, and finally decided to buy a set of dresses worn by the girl, but I don't know what the price is. I thought about going to the ready-to-wear store while the stall was closing, but I didn't know if the money was enough to buy clothes for my little sister.

"Come on! That's good. "A few people were quick with their hands and feet, and after a while, they cleaned up and went to the ready-to-wear shop first, and the cheapest set cost 200 Wen, which was not enough in their hands.

"Big brother, don't we still have money to sell things, or just use that, if my little sister can wear this dress, she will definitely look good." Li Shilang likes this new set of clothes, thinking that he has money on his waist, anyway, this money is all at home, and he is buying things for his little sister, so it is not a random send.

"No, I can't. If you want to buy, you have to use the money we have saved, and the money from the sale of goods will go back to Xiaowu to make accounts, and then we will explain it. Li Dalang disagreed, and San Lang also felt bad, but Erlang supported it.

A few people discussed it again, but they didn't discuss it, and it was not too early to see the time, and they were afraid that Situ Yan would find it, but in the end, Li Dalang was persuaded to take out 160 wen from the money they sold, plus 40 wen in their hands, and bought a set of cheesecloth flower dresses for Xiaomei.

The man wrapped the things in a piece of cloth, collected the money, and then handed the things to Li Dalang.

"Let's go, go pick up Xiao Wu and go home." A few people bought things, and they were very happy, but Li Dalang was a little worried in his heart, the little sister was the housekeeper, but he was in charge and spent 160 Wen to sell the goods at once, I don't know if the little sister will be angry. Keep your head down and don't squeak along the way.

The book that Situ Yan copied today is thicker, because it is an essay, Situ Yan likes it and the guy gave her 15 yuan, and it took two hours to copy it. When I came out of the bookstore after drawing the pattern, I saw my brothers waiting at the door.

"Why is it so early today?"

San Lang was afraid that Da Lang would miss it in a hurry, so he hurriedly stepped forward and handed the money bag on his waist to Situ Yan, "Xiao Wu, there are a lot of people rushing to the market today, and our 'Li Fuji' things are in demand, and they will be sold out in an hour." I think I can do less, and if I do more, I can sell a lot more money. ”

"That's a lot, and we can't keep a few of us busy. This is the last big gathering of the year, and the brothers have worked hard for so long, so let's find a restaurant to eat, which can be regarded as a reward for the brothers. ”

"Little Wu, I heard that the restaurant is expensive to eat, let's buy some meat and eat it at home." Li Dalang was still worried about stealing the money from the sale of goods, how could he be in the mood to go to the restaurant to eat at this time, and he also felt that it would be too wasteful of money.

"Okay, then let's go buy white wheat noodles, buy more meat, and go home and eat steamed pork buns."

"Okay!" Erlang was the first to agree, he was so big, he hadn't eaten a white flour meat bun yet, and he drooled when he thought about it.

A few people first went to the embroidery building to change things, and then went to the grain shop and the meat stall to buy all the things, and then walked around the street for a while, and saw that the time was almost up, so they rushed to the city gate and took the ox cart home.

When she got home, Situ Yan didn't have time to sort out the accounts, so she went to mix the noodles first, put them on the kang and sent them, chopped the meat, tasted them with seasonings, just waited for the noodles to be ready, steamed buns to eat at night, and after being busy, she entered the hall, and saw that her brothers were sitting in the hall and reading, and she was happy, so she took her things and entered the east room.

Li Dalang sat still, "What should I do?" Is Xiao Wu going to keep accounts? San Lang looked at his eldest brother like this, and he felt a little uneasy, although he knew that this was not good, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing. They didn't spend money indiscriminately, let alone waste money, they just bought a gift for Xiaomei, and they also wanted to surprise Xiaomei, so they persuaded the eldest brother a few words.

Situ Yan entered the east room, counted the money, and kept the account, only to find that there was 160 Wen missing, I wanted to get up and go to the hall to ask, but just about to open the door, I stopped again, the brothers have sold things for so long, and they have never spent a penny, and the 160 Wen that is missing may be something that has been shunned, if this is the case, let the brothers know, I must be sad in my heart, it is better not to ask, although 160 Wen is also a lot, but compared to the smiling faces of relatives, it is not worth mentioning.

After collecting the account, I found some cloth and began to make underwear.

Li Dalang waited for an hour, but he didn't see the little sister come out to ask about the money, and he was even more uneasy, "San Lang, why didn't you say that Xiao Wu didn't mention the money?" Do you think that we are messing around, and it's hard to ask? ”

"No, or we'll give Xiao Wu the dress when we have dinner." San Lang didn't have a bottom in his heart at this time. "I think that's good, too." Jiro and Shiro looked at the eldest brother and were anxious for a while, and they were also a little anxious.

"That's it, I'm going to boil the paste. You have changed the window paper in the east room, and Xiao Wu likes to be clean and bright. I don't want to change it if I can still use it in other houses. With an idea, Li Dalang wanted to find something to do, so he got off the kang and entered the stove room.

Erlang and the others took knives and paper into the east room, and Situ Yan sat on the kang and saw that a few people wanted to change the window paper in her house, and she was happy and didn't stop her. In the evening, I went to the stove room with Li Dalang to make steamed buns. Li Dalang took the opportunity to chat with the little sister for a few words, and found that the little sister was the same as usual, nothing special, so he was relieved.

When the white and chubby buns came out of the pot, even Situ Yan couldn't help but swallow her saliva, she hadn't eaten such a fragrant meat bun for a long time. Put the buns on a plate and bring them into the hall with Li Dalang.

"It smells so good! Just smell it and you know it's delicious. San Lang took the plate and chopsticks in Situ Yan's hand, and the family sat around the kang table, and Situ Yan sandwiched one for his brothers, and then ate it, "It's so fragrant." Brothers, don't just watch, eat it while it's hot, this meat bun won't taste good when it's cold. ”

"I'm a little reluctant." Li Erlang held the meat bun and handed it to his mouth twice, but he was reluctant to bite it.

"Our family's life is getting better and better, what will often be eaten in the future, second brother, don't look at it, eat it quickly!"

"Xiao Wu is right, eat them all!" Li Dalang took the lead and took a bite first, with a thin skin and a big filling, eating it in his mouth full of wheat and meat, that kind of taste was something he had never imagined. The delicious one squinted his eyes, and he ate a big bun in three or two bites.

Erlang saw that the eldest brother was eating deliciously, and he also ate it, and the house was applauding for a while. After dinner, Situ Yan was about to give a lecture to her brothers, when she saw Li Dalang mysteriously handing her a cloth bag.

"Little Wu, this is what we gave you. I'm sorry, but I took the 160 wen that sold the goods in order to buy this. If you want to blame me, blame me, it's all my idea. Li Dalang blushed, afraid that his little sister would blame, so he took the responsibility on himself.

"It's not Big Brother's idea, it's my idea. I just thought that Xiao Wu was a female baby, but I saw that Tian'er could only wear the clothes of a male baby, but the money in our hands was not enough, so I moved the money from selling goods, and Xiao Wu blamed me if he wanted to blame it! San Lang was afraid that the little sister would misunderstand the eldest brother again, so he was busy helping Li Dalang intercede.

Situ Yan paused for a moment, and then she understood why there was less 160 Wen, it turned out that these people were buying gifts for her, she took the things with a smile, "This is a piece of my brother's heart, it's too late for me to be happy, why blame." I'll put it on, brothers, and see if it looks good. He took the cloth bag and went into the east room and changed into a flower dress.

In Situ Yan's eyes, this flower cloth is very rustic, but I think it was bought by my brothers, and I barely wore it on my body, but fortunately, she was white, and she combed her hair into a double bun from the new, and with this dress, it was not ugly.

"Is it pretty?" Out of the east room, Situ Yan deliberately turned around, and the flower skirt floated up, and she really felt like she was dancing.

"It's good-looking, Xiao Wu is really good-looking." Shiro called to pull Situ Yan, the little sister has been wearing men's clothes, this is the first time to wear a skirt, it turns out that he thinks the little sister is good-looking, this time he thinks the little sister is like the fairy, no matter how you look at it, you can't see enough.

"Beautiful." Da Lang, Erlang and San Lang also opened their eyes wide, and looked at them without turning their eyes, it turned out that the little sister wore a skirt like this, and they would buy more skirts for the little sister to wear in the future. I want to dress up my little sister as good as she does today.

"Thank you, brothers! I am very happy today, I have new clothes to wear, and I have changed the window paper in the house, and I have become the happiest person in this family. Situ Yan took San Lang and Shiro's hands, smiled and thanked them, but the four of them blushed embarrassedly and smirked.

Many years in the future, Situ Yan will wear better clothes than this, but she has never been so happy again, and she is extremely nostalgic every time she recalls it.
