CHAPTER XIV

The corners of Yu Xiling's mouth twitched, and she acquiesced to Qiao Zhiliang's introduction.

Qiao Zhiliang is sixteen this year, and she is only twelve! According to her age, isn't she her sister, you must know that in her previous life, she and Qiao Zhiliang didn't have much intersection, and she didn't even have a chance to be introduced as a sister, let alone others.

After introducing Yu Xiling, Qiao Zhiliang pulled the tall boy and was about to leave, but he was stopped, "Why don't you introduce me to our sister?" ”

After speaking, he ignored Qiao Zhiliang, who had a slightly stiff face, and looked at Yu Xiling with a mouthful of big white teeth, "My name is Wei Kang, your brother worships the brother, don't call me Brother Wei like Nuan Nuan, I'm tired of death, call me Brother Kang." ”

"......" Yu Xiling.

This self-acquainted momentum is beyond the reach of ordinary people, Yu Xiling silently slandered, and then frowned, Wei Dare? In his previous life, Wei Dang, who loved Ye Nuannuan so much that he loved him to death?

It's no wonder that Yu Xiling doesn't recognize him, it's really Ye Nuannuan who protects him tightly, and she doesn't have a chance to know him at all.

And Ye Nuannuan herself, it seems that she can only see him when she celebrates the New Year in the county every spring, and Yu Xiling, until she dropped out of school in her previous life, was sent to the county seat by Yu Jianguo because she wanted to learn a craft, it was already a few years later, and she didn't hear Ye Nuannuan show off what strange treasures her brother Wei gave her during the Spring Festival.

Yu Xiling, who originally had a good impression of him, had no idea of getting acquainted in an instant, and just a few more guests came to watch the Spring Festival couplets, she nodded casually, turned around and went back to Gu Stall.

"......" Wei Dang scratched his board inexplicably, obviously he was still smiling just now, why did he become cold in an instant?

How can this little girl be like a, turning her face faster than turning a book.

He didn't care, he finally came to his grandmother's house for the Spring Festival, and he spent a few days of indulgence, leaving Yu Xiling behind in an instant, and the brothers hooked Qiao Zhiliang's neck and ran to Grandpa Qiao, who was walking away.

Yu Xiling held the couplet to the guests, and Wei Dang could still hear the voice of Grandpa Qiao shouting loudly.

Not only is it self-cooked, but its voice is quite loud.

After a busy day, although it was very cold, but the business was really good, Yu Xiling's big wooden box was almost sold to the bottom, and most of the rest were pasted on the door of the house, "The door couplet and the word Fu are the best to sell, but the door couplet is not sold much, or because I have a discount to someone willing to buy, the gold powder is the best to sell, although the most expensive but still sold short." ”

At this time, most of the people in the county town except for their own yards lived in units, and most of them were tube buildings and half buildings, and half of the buildings were a bit like the previous schools, and the area of splitting half of the classroom in the middle was a room.

Usually it is a large studio, the kitchen is installed in the corridor, there are few two-bedroom ones, and three-bedroom ones are even rarer, so the big spring joint sales at the door are particularly fast, and the small couplets at the door are sold less.

"I'll go to bed later tonight and finish writing the gold dust." Grandpa Yu sat on the edge of the fire and roasted the fire, and drank a glass of white wine to warm up his body when he entered the door, and now his face was flushed, listening to Yu Xiling's accounting, his face was full of joy.

Yu Xiling nodded, she didn't expect the business to be so good, originally expected to take Grandpa Yu to familiarize herself with the situation today, the real gold sales time will be two days after tomorrow, who knows that there are few people at the beginning, and almost no one is empty in the afternoon, and most of them are sold in an instant.

It would be nice if she could write well, so that Grandpa Yu wouldn't have to work overtime, and even Grandma Yu wouldn't be able to sleep.

But she can't persuade her now, but fortunately, the Spring Festival couplets business is only a few days after the New Year, and they don't have the habit of changing couplets during the Lantern Festival, and the newly bought Spring Festival couplets will not be changed until the Spring Festival next year.

"Okay, okay, you two hurry up and eat first." Grandma Yu was sitting on the fire, her face was full of satisfaction, peeling the roasted sweet potatoes in her hands, Yu Xi'an was lying on her lap, looking at it with her eyes, and she didn't even want Yu Xiling anymore.

They came back late, it was already dark, if Yu Xiling hadn't bought a flashlight in the county town this morning, the grandfather and grandson would have had to come back at night.

"Dad! Mother! While eating, the door was banged, and Aunt Yu's loud voice made the dogs in the village bark, "Jianlai is back, open the door quickly." ”

Second uncle is back?

Yu Xiling hurriedly got up to open the door, and it was really the second uncle's family standing outside the door, and even the lobby sister Yu Xihua, who had been stuffed at home, followed behind the second aunt, and when she saw Yu Xiling, she smiled shyly at her.

"Hey, Dad, Xiling? Why are you eating at this time? Aunt Yu hugged Yu Zhuangzhuang, stepped into the house first, and shouted loudly.

Second Uncle Yu is an honest man, he looked at Yu Xiling, reached out and rubbed her head, took out a piece of fruit candy wrapped in yellow transparent plastic paper from his pocket and stuffed it into her palm, and followed him into the house.

"......" Yu Xiling.

Aunt Yu entered the house first, her eyes swept over the sweet potatoes peeled in Grandma Yu's hands, and then saw that there were two more kang on the coal stove, and immediately put Yu Zhuangzhuang down, "Go, look for what your grandmother wants to eat." ”

When I saw the sweet potato, I naturally wouldn't let go of the red paper, pen and ink on the table on the bed.

The new clothes and new cotton jackets on the Yu Xiling sisters and the old couple Aunt Yu are too lazy to look at them, and they are also uncomfortable in their hearts.

But in the end, there are still some hot eyes, and I can't help but complain a little about Yu Xiling, she is also her second aunt, when the eldest uncle was still a soldier in the past, when Xu Zhaodi was at home alone and had to go to the ground, she also brought Yu Xiling's brothers and sisters, and she didn't want to honor her.

Aunt Yu still wanted to speak, but Yu Jianye had already greeted Grandma Yu over there, so she pressed the words to her lips, sat down by the coal stove and started a fire, and took the two sweet potatoes on the kang on it, one for Yu Xirong, and the other for herself to eat.

"Mom and Dad, are you okay for the past six months?" Second Uncle Yu was busy with the work he went out to do after the autumn harvest, and he was not at home for half a year, and he was somewhat relieved to see that the old couple was living a good life.

"Very good." Grandma Yu divided a sweet potato into two halves and fed them to Yu Xi'an and Yu Zhuangzhuang respectively, and she was also happy to see her second son who had not seen her for a long time. "How's it going out there? Xirong went out to work with you for the first time, so I didn't make a mess for you. ”

As they talked, Grandpa Yu and Yu Xiling hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to pick up the rice in the bowl, not daring to eat in the back room, the weather was cold and afraid of the cold, Grandma Yu buried meat and fried eggs for them under the rice, which made Aunt Yu see it, and she had to listen to her sour words.

When she entered the house after eating, Aunt Yu was asking Grandma Yu about the Spring Festival couplets.

"On this cold day, let Jianye help my dad do some work, he is a strong laborer, it is better than a little girl in Xiling." Aunt Yu looked at the Spring Festival couplets and looked down on them.

In previous years, it was not that she didn't come to her father-in-law to write Spring Festival couplets with things, and she could eat something, when did she get money, Yu Xiling engaged in such a big battle, but don't toss the money she saved by selling tofu.

But at this time, it's not good to directly mention the matter of the tofu stall, this weasel gives the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he has to do something practical.

Aunt Yu also knows that she has lived in a village over the years, and what they have done is a little cold to the heart of the old man and the old lady, but this is no way, the conditions in her family are not as good as the eldest uncle's family, and there are many children, where can she take care of the two old ones, and the eldest grandson and old son, the old lady's lifeblood is at home, and she didn't see the old couple being a little biased, so she naturally had opinions in her heart.

If you want to blame it, blame the old couple for being too eccentric, Aunt Yu thought.

However, her words are not good, but it is not wrong, Xiling is clever and sharp-tongued, but she and Grandpa Yu are old and young, and they have to push a flatbed truck every morning and evening, and Grandma Yu is really worried.

At the same time, she also had the intention of letting Xiling pull her second uncle.

But Grandma Yu has thoughts but no ideas, and she doesn't know how to respond.

"Okay, it just so happens that my grandfather is so tired that his hands are shaking after a day of writing, and it's just right that the second uncle is here." Yu Xiling responded with a smile, touched Xi'an, who was playing with Yu Zhuangzhuang, and saw that her hands were warm, so she let her play there.

"Really?" Aunt Yu's face was full of joy, she grabbed the gap between her father-in-law and Yu Xiling and told the old lady, just looking at the old lady's soft heart, afraid that Yu Xiling would not agree.

Now the old Yu family, but the eldest uncle is in charge, this little one, even more powerful than her father back then.

"Then this salary ......" Aunt Yu looked at Yu Xiling hesitantly, the old lady responded to her and suffered a loss as a filial old man, but Yu Xiling agreed, this is the work of the elders for the juniors, it is somewhat meaningful, "Your second uncle can earn seven cents a day in the county seat." ”

In fact, there are only five cents, and Aunt Yu falsely reported two cents, and she doesn't have work every day.

"Okay, seven cents a day." Yu Xiling should be very happy, so happy that Aunt Yu was a little embarrassed, but she glanced at Yu Xirong, thinking that this is two cents more than doing things outside, isn't it...... "My cousin is working at home to help the second aunt, my stall is small, and I don't need so many people." ”

Second Uncle Yu went to work as a coolie, and her brother Xirong is only seventeen today, originally because he was a coolie since he was a child and he couldn't eat well and was not tall, so he finally rested at home.

The matter was settled, and Aunt Yu didn't stay long, leading the boy and child to leave again, leaving a stall of sweet potato skins on the ground.

"With my second uncle, my father and I can save a lot of trouble, and it is too difficult for our two to push the flatbed." Yu Xiling swept the floor with a broom, and sighed that the sweet potatoes were sticking to the compacted soil, which was a little difficult to sweep.

As soon as Grandma Yu heard this, her original heart fell.

In order to stock up on more goods, Grandpa Yu insisted on writing until twelve o'clock before going to bed, if it weren't for Yu Xiling putting away all the pen and ink, he wouldn't want to stop.

Early the next morning, as soon as Yu Xiling opened the door, she saw Second Uncle Yu, who had waited for an unknown amount of time and had frost on his eyebrows, and hurriedly let people in.

With Second Uncle Yu, Yu Xiling insisted that Grandpa Yu sit on the flatbed with the quilt covered, she and Second Uncle Yu pushed the cart, Grandpa Yu couldn't push it, and Yu Xiling was crooked, and finally got into the car with a salt water bottle filled with hot water.

Looking at his honest and filial son, as well as his sensible and intelligent granddaughter, Grandpa Yu quietly wet his eyes.

Although there were some bumps along the way, Second Uncle Yu had great strength and fast feet, and he even arrived in the county seat earlier than they did yesterday.

It's still the same process, as soon as Yu Xiling hung up the rope, an energetic face appeared in front of him.

"Xiling'er, Brother Dare is here to help you."
