"I just thought of the last time I went to the Qingshui Building with Brother Mao and Li Fugui to eat and listen to books, Mr. Storyteller seems to be talking about "Xue Rengui's Expedition to the West", right? Just hearing the storyteller in the wonderful place, a few guests were so angry that they said that they were going to Lichun House to find the girl and defeat the fire, but they really dropped the silver and went straight to Lichun Courtyard, haha, listening to a book can also hold back the brothel to defeat the fire, laughing to death. After Hua Shao finished speaking, he leaned back and smiled.

After listening to Hua Shao's jokes, everyone looked at him stunned, as if they were mentally retarded.

"What, isn't it funny? Brother Mao, are you funny? Hua Shao laughed for a while and finally stopped, and he said unconvinced when he saw everyone like this.

"It's not a joke between me and you, but I seem to have forgotten what I was thinking after you said that." Kang Damao answered the question.

"You...... Not interesting enough! Hua Shao pointed at Kang Damao and said unhappily.

"I think you also want to go to Na Lichun Building, you have the ability to go now!" Mu Qin Gege looked at Hua Shao seriously on the side and said.

Hearing Gege say this, Hua Shao suddenly became honest, he could only keep his mouth shut, he was not only speechless now, but he didn't even have the slightest courage to resist.

"Come, drink, eat, the delicacy of this table is made by our shopkeeper and Mother An, of course, there are these three cooks, you can taste the taste is better than those big restaurants." Kang Damao hurriedly greeted, he deliberately diverted the topic to save some face for Hua Shao.

A table of people ate for a while before they heard a sound of "Bang, bang, bang!" The sound of fireworks explosions, following the prestige, I saw that outside the eaves of the house, the originally dark night sky was blooming with dazzling fireworks, which was very beautiful.

Everyone put down their chopsticks and got up to enjoy the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky. Enjoying the fireworks, there was a knock on the door outside the house, Abao had no choice but to run to open the door again, this time came in a family of seven, there were old and young, one of them was the maid Xiaocui in the house, Xiaocui just entered the door and said apologetically: "Boss, the flower shopkeeper, I'm really sorry, now to disturb you, this is my father and grandparents, and my younger brothers and sisters, they have to come to thank you." ”

Xiao Cui said with an apologetic face.

"What are you thankful for?" Xiaohua stepped forward and took Xiaocui's hand and said.

Before Xiaocui could speak, her grandfather stepped forward and said excitedly: "Thank you to the owner and the shopkeeper for giving our Xiaocui so much reward, so that our family can have a good year, Xiaocui is here for us, we can rest assured." ”

It turned out that Xiaohua temporarily saved part of the monthly money of some young families and maids, and usually only half of it was enough for them to subsidize the family, and at the end of the year, they were taken out and distributed to them at one time, so that one could save the silver, and the other was to leave some deposits in the house.

"She deserves all this silver, as long as she does things here in a down-to-earth manner, the owner will naturally not treat her badly." After Xiaohua finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Kang Damao and smiled, Kang Damao did a really good job, saying that he was a businessman, but he was very different from those mercenary businessmen, which was also where Xiaohua admired Kang Damao.

"Our family has paid New Year's greetings to the owner and the shopkeeper, come, kowtow to the owner and the shopkeeper." As he spoke, Grandpa Xiaocui pulled his little grandson's head down, and asked his little grandson and granddaughter to kneel, and he also led the whole family to take the lead in kneeling.

"Hurry up, old man, this is unacceptable." Kang Damao hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man's body that was about to kneel, Erhu and Abao also pulled Xiaocui's parents and didn't let them kneel, and let a few elders kneel for themselves Kang Damao was absolutely unacceptable in his heart, he never regarded himself as nobler than others, he just made money and let everyone enjoy the benefits.

After a few warm greetings, the fireworks blooming in the night sky also stopped temporarily, Xiaocui's father saw that there was still a table of dishes in the courtyard, indicating that people were eating, and they were not good to disturb for a long time, and then he pulled Xiaocui's grandfather to prepare to leave, but at this time he was stopped by Kang Damao.

Just now, Xiaohua quietly handed Kang Damao two red envelopes, each containing one or two pieces of silver, although it is not much, it is also a heart, and two taels of silver are also worth Xiaocui's monthly money + example money for a month.

Everyone else came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, and the owner couldn't say nothing, or Xiaohua was thoughtful, Kang Damao called out to the family, handed two red envelopes to Xiaocui's younger brothers and sisters, and touched the heads of the two little guys.

"Boss, this can't be helped." Xiaocui's father said honestly and fearfully, saying that he was going to snatch the red envelope from the child's hand.

"So that you don't have to be polite to your own family." Kang Damao took Xiaocui's father's somewhat old hand and said, and her father withdrew the hand that was originally used to grab the red envelope.

After receiving the red envelope, the family left with a thousand thanks.

For Kang Damao, this is a small episode, he smiled indifferently, and continued to beckon everyone to sit down to eat and drink, no one noticed that Mu Qin Gege looked at Kang Damao's eyes at this time a little strange, her bright eyes were puzzled, surprised and admired, and there were all kinds of complex emotions hidden in her eyes, and she couldn't tell herself.

There is Hua Shao in the wine naturally will not drink less, the two of them wine and meat friends keep pushing the glass to change the lamp, and after a while, they will drink high, and finally Hua Shao simply fell asleep in Kangfu, anyway, there are many rooms, Mu Qin Gege and Xiao Wang Ye are inconvenient to stay, and left with a few personal guards.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaohua and An's mother got up early and mixed the stuffing with noodles to prepare dumplings, and eating dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year has always been the traditional custom of our Chinese nation. And the rest of the people are still sleeping in the house, the sun is warm outside, it is really a happy thing to hide in the quilt and cover the quilt, anyway, no one cares about them on the first day of the new year.

Xiaohua and An's mother were wrapping dumplings outside the door when there was a knock on the door, Xiaohua had no choice but to get up to open the door, the moment she opened the door, she was stunned, at this time the gate was already full of people, for a while she really couldn't count how many people, anyway, there were old and young, she also saw a lot of familiar faces, all of them were the maids of their Kangfu and the guys in the shop, it seemed that the family was dragged with the mouth.

"Happy New Year, shopkeeper, let's come to greet you and the owner!" Everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

I don't know if Xiaocui's family came to pay New Year's greetings to the red envelope last night, or the custom of Yaowan Town is to come to the owner on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Xiaohua hurriedly put down the work at hand and hurriedly greeted: "You guys are waiting here, the owner drank too much last night, and now the wine hasn't woken up yet." ”

"It's okay, then don't bother the owner, let's send some farm products to the owner and the shopkeeper, and leave after delivery."

Saying that some of the people who came to pay New Year's greetings in the courtyard put a basket of eggs on their arms on the bluestone steps outside the hall, some people put a basket of corn on their backs on the bluestone steps, and some people put live animals in the bags behind their backs, and they were still moving.

Then there are sausages, bacon, salted fish, hares, coriander and wild vegetables, all of which are used, no matter what is sent, it represents their intentions, and finally a row of bluestone steps in front of the hall is full, and people who don't know think they have arrived at the market.

Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Xiaohua didn't know what to do for a while, she first asked her mother to greet everyone first, and she had to call Kang Damao to come out, whether to pack some red envelopes, or stay for dinner, and Kang Damao, the owner, had to decide, but it seems that so many people have to spend a lot of money, so it can't go on like this.

Came to the door of Kang Damao's bedroom, Xiaohua knocked on the door frame a few times, and after a while, Kang Damao did not respond, she had to push the door hard, only to see Kang Damao still hiding in the quilt at this time and falling asleep, Xiaohua slowly walked to the bed, she just wanted to wake up Kang Damao, and saw that the quilt on his body had a place where it was raised high, Xiaohua was a little strange, although nominally she was a married young woman, but after all, she had not experienced the cave room, her eyes stared at the high quilt and pondered.

Could it be that something has run into the owner's bed? Do you want to catch it?
