Zhang Yan came out of the courtyard and shouted at Daddy Liu, "Dad, mother, what are you two doing outside on this cold day?" I have something to say when I go home. ”

Daddy Liu agreed, picked up the basket of cabbage and walked home, Zhang Yan hurriedly ran forward, stretched out his hand to carry it with Daddy Liu, Daddy Liu said softly, "Xiaoyan, you better rest, don't flash the road slippery." ”

Mrs. Liu also said, "Girl, just let your father do it himself, he has brute strength." Zhang Yan took Mrs. Liu's arm and followed behind Father Liu, Mrs. Liu touched Zhang Yan's stomach and said with a smile, "Your father and I can't sleep with your grandson, so you can rest assured!" ”

Zhang Yan said shyly, "Mother, Renzhang and I have only been married for a day, and your second elder is in a hurry, let outsiders know, it's strange if you don't laugh off your big teeth!" Zhang Yan and Mrs. Liu said as they walked, their eyes never leaving the majestic back of Father Liu.

Daddy Liu went into the house and put down the cabbage, saw that Xinzhang hadn't gotten up yet, as soon as he touched the quilt, he urinated a lot of wet and wet, and slapped Xinzhang's buttocks.

Liu Lao Niang and Zhang Yan ran over when they heard the news, Xinzhang stood on the kang corner with his bare buttocks timidly and watched Liu Lao Dad crying, Zhang Yan hurriedly put on cotton pants and cotton jackets for Xinzhang, peeked at Liu Lao Dad out of the corner of his eyes, and saw that his anger had not subsided, so he complained softly, "Dad, you can't beat him indiscriminately because of Xinzhang's urine kang, Xinzhang didn't sleep until midnight because of yesterday's troubled cave room, he slept too deeply, and he accidentally urinated on the kang, which is understandable." Xiao Xinzhang saw Zhang Yan interceding for him, and cried even more fiercely, Daddy Liu ignored it and turned around and walked out of the West House, Liu Lao Niang took off the bedding of the pee, poked Xinzhang's head with her finger and said, "Little ancestor, you still have the face to cry, this snowy day, you pee on the futon like this, your father slapped you lightly, how do you say we will sleep tonight?" Just like you, still pestering to sleep with your sister-in-law? Dream on! ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Mother, I'll sleep with Xinzhang in my arms tonight, so I'm not afraid of Xinzhang's urine." ”

When the letter was heard, he burst into tears and laughed, and compared it with Zhang Yan.

"Mother, what does the letter say?"

Liu Lao Niang said with a wry smile, "Xinzhang said that you love him as much as his second brother Yizhang, and the eldest brother Renzhang doesn't love him, you and Yizhang should be two people." ”

Zhang Yan giggled when she heard this, and she also poked her finger at the head of the letter and said, "Little brother, you are messing with mandarin duck scores, your eldest brother will not agree to me sleeping with you in his arms after hearing this, and you can't talk nonsense in the future." ”

Mrs. Liu put the wet bedding on the stool next to the coal stove to bake, and suddenly sighed for a long time, Zhang Yan sat on the edge of the kang with the letter seal, and asked Mrs. Liu with concern, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Do you have any worries? ”

Liu Lao Niang sighed again, and said to Zhang Yan, "Girl, they all say that the son is not a mother, Renzhang is a filial child, and Yizhang is also filial, but his heart is too high, he wanted to leave home to join the army several years ago, and he was hooked back by my tears several times, this time to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he and your father joined forces to deal with me alone, and I have to go to war if I live or die. I also understand the principle of protecting the family and defending the country, and Yizhang is indeed a piece of material for leading soldiers to fight, but for my mother, I can't rest assured, I always dream in my dreams that he is either injured or sick, crying and shouting to find me. Renzhang has no ability, I can see him every day, what about Yizhang? He has a great ability, exactly the same as your father when he was young, although your father did not serve as a soldier when he was young, it is because the Liu family compound is indeed inseparable from him, but even so, he is not idle, in a few years, he has engaged in seven or eight cargo ships to lead hundreds of people to run the sea, and the money is a lot of money, but the money is earned by pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers, not to mention the high winds and waves at sea, just the chaos of the war will kill people, I heard your father's people say that your father has been robbed by pirates several times, and each time he is in danger and almost killed, Yizhang is a little older to follow your father to run the boat, your father did not agree, this I am very satisfied with your father, Yizhang can't run the boat, so he works desperately, carrying the sack to the two shoulders up a thick layer of cocoons, Wei Ji and Houzhang also followed to help, now Yizhang has been to North Korea for more than a month, and I don't know how to write a letter back to report safety. ”

"Mother, I listened to my grandfather about my father's boat run, I played with Renzhang every day in those years, why didn't I hear Renzhang say it?"

"If you don't say it, the nine sons of the dragon are different, the personalities of Renzhang and Yizhang are just opposite, Renzhang's personality is with me, he talks a lot, but he can't get to the point, Yizhang has few words, but he loves to think about things. Your father ran a boat in those years, in the final analysis, it was smuggling, mainly salt, and occasionally there were guns and ammunition, all of which were loaded and unloaded in the middle of the night, and sometimes in order to avoid the government's search, it was common to wander at sea for a few days, not to mention that Renzhang didn't know, that is, a few elders in the compound didn't know, your father was cautious in doing things, Yizhang was the same as his father, he did a lot of things, you don't want to know in your life, Yizhang looks big on the surface, in fact, his heart is very careful, your father was found by Yizhang a few days after running the sea, He followed quietly a few times, and had a showdown with your father, as well as Wei Ji and Houzhang, who have followed Yizhang since he was a child, and are closer than with Zhongzhang, what Yizhang said and what to listen to, I remember very clearly, one year, Zhongzhang pestered you Aunt Huilan in the alley, and was bumped into by Yizhang, Wei Ji, and Houzhang, Yizhang beat Zhongzhang to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he kept begging Wei Ji and Houzhang for help, and the two of them were like they didn't listen, when you Aunt Huilan told me, she herself laughed out of tears, saying that Yizhang had too many eyes, so that brothers can be like strangers. Renzhang: Do you have these skills? He only knows how to work hard in the field, honor me and your father, and be very good to his younger brothers and sisters, he is not not close to the letter chapter, Renzhang is so clean, he just dislikes the letter and bury it, I like several sons, but if you want to say the favorite, or the boss Renzhang, what about your father, he especially prefers Yizhang, the other four sons have been beaten by him, yesterday at dinner, Zhizhang didn't say that Yizhang has been drinking since he was a child, Zhizhang is right, there are guests at home, your father will let Yizhang accompany the guests, usually it's fine, the two of them stay in the study for half a day, I don't know what the two of them have to say, now your father is like you to Yizhang back then, everyone can see this, he told me that he wants to train you to be the successor of the Liu family compound, so that there is Yizhang outside, and you can manage the Liu family compound so that the Liu family compound can prosper, your father has something to hide from me, but he will tell me about these major things, for example, invite your grandfather to dinner at noon today, your father arranged it without leakage, why is it arranged in the study? Why only do you have to be your companion? Your father made a decision after careful consideration, girl, you follow your father with your heart, and run to the study diligently, your father often tells the children that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the Liu family compound can count on you in the future. ”

Zhang Yan and Xinzhang listened very carefully, Zhang Yan was very emotional, they are also sisters, Liu Lao Niang speaks and does things in a very orderly and measured manner, but Wang Huilan is just the opposite, naïve like a child who has not grown up, just like Renzhang and Yizhang, the same growth environment has created a completely different life, she admires Daddy Liu even more in her heart, she has done so many earth-shattering things but is not publicized at all, and can handle all kinds of complex relationships quietly.

"Renzhang Niang, don't just chatter, there's something wrong with the badge, go and take a look."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know very well, just now Daai came to tell me in a panic that the badge drank pesticides, it shouldn't be a big problem, you go and see, I can't come forward with this kind of thing." Ren Zhangniang put on her headscarf and hurried away.

When Xinzhang saw Daddy Liu, he was so frightened that he turned his head and drilled into Zhang Yan's arms, Daddy Liu laughed and teased him, "Xinzhang, Dad gave you a task, if you complete it well, Dad will not blame you for urinating on the kang." ”

Xinzhang sat up and asked what the task was.

"Letters, letters, are the messengers! Immediately send this letter to your sister-in-law's grandfather, that is, the white-bearded old man in the back street, do you recognize the door? ”

Xinzhang nodded, jumped down from Zhang Yan's arms, took the letter, saluted Daddy Liu and turned around to run, Zhang Yan grabbed him, carefully put a cotton hat on Xinzhang, wrapped it around his neck, and then softly instructed, "Xinzhang, you have to give Daddy's letter to Grandpa, Grandpa with a white beard, remember?" There is snow and ice on the road, so run slowly. The letter nodded, turned and ran out of the Westinghouse.

Father Liu asked with concern, "Xiaoyan, Uncle didn't scare you in the morning, did she?" ”

Zhang Yan learned from Huilan's usual way of messing around with Daddy Liu, she playfully picked up Daddy Liu's hand and put it on her chest, and said innocently, "Dad, you touch it yourself, you still have palpitations now." ”

Father Liu broke away his hand and criticized with a serious face, "Xiaoyan, you can't mess around with me like your Aunt Huilan regardless of the occasion, where does this look like a sister-in-law?" Play the piano around! ”

Zhang Yan pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing, and asked thoughtfully, "Dad, Aunt Huilan messes around with you all day long, why isn't there any gossip?" And my Shibao brother doesn't seem to be jealous at all, why? ”

"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative! I love Hui Lan and you, of course, there is Yizhang, the world knows, Hui Lan's ability is indeed limited, but her innocence gives me countless comforts, on the surface she is my sister-in-law, but in fact she is my confidant! And you, the outside is round and the inside, charming is the surface of the fierce is inside, this is the essential difference between you and your aunt Sanyan, I told your mother, the future of the Liu family compound, the outside relies on Yizhang to compete for the world, and the inside depends on you to help the old and the young to be diligent and thrifty, you two only join forces, I can take charge of the rudder of the big ship of the Liu family compound, you and Yizhang are my right-hand men, my henchmen, public and private, understandable, they only have the heart of envy, no courage to spread rumors! ”

Zhang Yan listened to the blood boiling, the woman is the one who pleases herself, and the person who is the confidant dies, even if she has a beautiful and peerless appearance, she is more willing to follow Daddy Liu and be driven!
