Xiahetun Village.

Liu Jin walked around very leisurely, since he left Xiahetun to go to the capital, Liu Jin has not been so relaxed, he can have time to take a good rest, take a walk around, and carefully feel the bits and pieces of this era.

The weather is still very cold, the beginning of the Xiaoice period, winter comes earlier and colder, lasts longer, this is the cold winter wax moon, the New Year is about to begin, belongs to the coldest season of the year.

The river outside Xiahetun Village has been completely frozen, and the ice on it is very thick, dozens of centimeters thick, Liu Jin estimates that the current temperature is more than minus 20 degrees, which can be said to be very low.

The whole Xiahetun Village, young and old, is basically nested at home, boiling salt is also heating at the same time, in this regard, compared to Tian Erniu, Zhao Monkey and others in Gulou Village, it is much better, at least heating is not a problem, anyway, it is also necessary to boil salt.

Xiahetun is still very poor, although Liu Jin's house and Zhao Heishan's house have added some 'pride' to Xiahetun, but the whole is still the same.

The dilapidated houses, the muddy roads after the snow melted, and the occasional ragged, emaciated, unkempt villagers, are 108,000 miles away from the Hongzhi Zhongxing written in the history books, and it is obvious that the big guys can't even eat.

"Brother Erhu, was you choked by your father?"

Behind Liu Jin, Zhao Erhu followed a little listlessly, just released from confinement, his mood was not as good as he imagined, and he didn't seem to be happy.

"But it's not, you don't know what that Luo butcher's daughter looks like, you can't see a woman, my father still said yes, even if I was killed, I wouldn't marry that fat pig."

Speaking of this, Zhao Erhu was also angry, and said angrily.

"If you don't like it, you don't like it, don't say anything hurtful in the future, especially in front of the other party."

"Uncle Montenegro is also angry with this, it doesn't mean that you have to marry the daughter of the Luo butcher."

"I also told Uncle Montenegro about your situation just now, you are now able to read and write, and you can count geography, so naturally you want to marry one, and he is also looking for a new one, which is guaranteed to make you like it."

Liu Jin looked at Zhao Erhu's appearance, smiled and said.

"Really?"

When Zhao Erhu heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and a smile appeared on his face, and he thought about it and said: "My father is a stone, no one can convince him, and only Brother Jin can you move him." ”

"Of course it's true, you kid is waiting to be the groom's official, and I don't know whose daughter will insert it into your pile of cow dung."

Liu Jin nodded and said with a smile.

"Hmph~ I can't look down on it in general, I, Zhao Erhu, follow Brother Jin, and sooner or later I will be able to mix up, and this wife naturally can't just find one casually."

Zhao Erhu, who has always been honest and honest, also cocked his tail at this time and replied slightly proudly, which made Liu Jin couldn't help but look at him more carefully, and he had to sigh in his heart, this person will change, and Zhao Erhu, who has seen the world, is no longer the Zhao Erhu he used to be.

It's the Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the first day of the new year.

Walking, strolling and walking also came to the middle of Xiahetun, under the tree of the old Tsubaki tree, there are basically people here, and there are idle old and young masters who like to gather under the old Tsubaki tree to chat and pass the time.

"Brother Jin~"

Liu Jin's arrival also immediately caused a greeting, now everyone knows that Liu Jin has a Xishan coal industry in the capital, which is very profitable, and the workers in Xishan Coal Industry are treated very well, and many people are also thinking about the opportunity to find Liu Jin to see if they can go to Xishan Coal Industry to work.

In addition, when Liu Jin's family built a house in the past, it also made every household in the village have labor, which is another meal, and a salary of dozens of yuan a day.

So when they saw Liu Jin, everyone was even more enthusiastic.

"Uncle Li is good~"

"Uncle Zhang~"

"Hello Grandpa Zhao~"

Liu Jin also greeted everyone one by one with a smile, then looked at everyone, and soon saw the village chief Uncle Zhou, and also said, "Grandpa Zhou, how are you doing?" ”

"Okay~Okay~"

Uncle Zhou replied with a smile.

"What are you talking about?"

"What else can we talk about, isn't it about the New Year, everyone is naturally talking about the New Year, this year I still want to thank Brother Jin for working for everyone, this is not only earning wages but also leftover food, this year is much better."

Uncle Zhou smiled and replied, this is the truth, there is not much difference between the previous Xiahetun New Year and usual, at most, it is to cook more and eat a full meal, as for chicken, duck and fish, new clothes and so on, it is only available in good years.

This year is different, because I have made a lot of money, and every household can be regarded as able to have a good New Year, some people have pulled a few feet of cloth to make new clothes, and have bought meat to prepare dumplings for the New Year, in short, it is much better than before.

"Oops~ Look at my memory, I actually forgot about it."

Speaking of the Chinese New Year, when it came to building a house by himself, Liu Jin couldn't help but pat his head, and then said to Zhao Erhu: "Erhu, go to my house and inform everyone to move all the things I prepared here." ”

"Grandpa Zhou, I want to trouble you to notify every household in the village, and ask them to send someone to come here under the old Chun tree, I have something to say to the big guy."

"I'll go right away~"

When Zhao Erhu heard this, he immediately understood, and walked quickly towards Liu Jin's new house, as for the surrounding villagers, they were confused one by one, and they couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Liu Jin's gourd, but this did not prevent Village Chief Zhou from sending people to call out all the people in charge of every household in the village.

Liu Jin has something to say to the big guy, this is naturally to be listened to, not to mention that Liu Jin was a scholar in the past, with a high status, and everyone respects him, but now Liu Jin is even more famous, and he will take care of his own villagers.

Some people are also speculating whether Liu Jin needs everyone's help with something, so that everyone can eat enough to earn wages, and then this winter will be better.

As the messengers continued to run to inform each household in Xiahetun, soon, the people in charge of every household in the village also gathered under the old Chunshu tree in the middle of Xiahetun Village, and they all looked at Liu Jin and waited quietly for the following.
