Lao Zhu and the others still wear the short clothes they usually wear when they go out on patrol, and they are not as decent as his Lao Cui's work clothes in the glazed workshop. Bo Qi was wearing a white-washed robe, but with a careful and flattering look on his rice bowl, he looked like he had come to beg for food in a group.

As the richest Zhuangzi in ten miles and eight townships, it is naturally a place frequented by beggars, and the tenants are used to it. However, it is not appropriate for the owner of his own village to personally bring people to the village to beg for food, and it is not appropriate to send a few monks and beggars even if the family has thousands of assets? Although life is better now, the food is also hard to grow, and it is really distressing to have to give it away for nothing.

Ma Du turned his head to see that Lao Zhu really looked like he was begging for food, especially Bo Qi's appearance, so he said jokingly: "Ben Hou saw that a few of them were hungry and dizzy on the road, so he brought them over to find something to eat, and if there is anything at home, just send them some casually." ”

Lao Zhu and Yuan Sheng are both experts in begging, Yuan Sheng took two steps forward and pretended to look pitiful and said: "A few of us came to Guibao Land for the first time, and accidentally lost our bags, and now we have no food and clothing, and I ask my husband to have mercy." ”

"Since it was brought by the Hou Ye, it is a distinguished guest, and the old man hasn't eaten breakfast yet, so let's eat together." Lao Cui put the broom on his shoulder, turned his head and beckoned: "Don't be stunned, come on." ”

"Here we go!" Lao Zhu smiled and led people to follow.

Lao Cui patted the courtyard door at the door of his house and shouted: "The fifth daughter-in-law opens the door quickly, I'm back!" ”

The courtyard walls of the villagers are not high, and the typical half-body wall is not that there is no money to build it, but I really feel that it is too wasteful to use a good red brick courtyard wall, and there are half-people who can encircle the livestock at home.

Lao Zhu stretched his neck and glanced into the yard, and when he saw that there was a cowshed and a chicken coop in the huge yard, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Lao Cui poked Lao Zhu with his rough old hand, "You man is not honest, you are not young, why don't you understand the rules at all." ”

Now Cui Wu is a well-known capable person who takes someone to build a house for Hou Ye, naturally he is no longer a bachelor, he is still married to a girl from a good family in the city, not only handsome but also very sensible and filial, Lao Cui is very satisfied.

Seeing Lao Zhu looking at the courtyard, his eyebrows fluttering and the corners of his mouth smiling, thinking that he wanted to hook up with his daughter-in-law, he was dissatisfied, so he reprimanded him. Lao Zhu didn't put the emperor's shelf, pressed Han Cheng's hand and said with a smile: "My uncle misunderstood, I am happy to see that you have chickens and cows at home." ”

It was the first time to see Lao Zhu's deflated appearance, Ma Du couldn't suppress the smile in his heart, and his shoulders couldn't help twitching, Lao Zhu was certainly lustful, but there were a lot of beauties in the palace, and he didn't look down on Lao Cui's daughter-in-law.

"Dad, I came back early today, and the meal is ready for you, who are these people?"

"Master Hou brought the begging man, hurry upstairs and stay, don't tell you not to come out." sent away his daughter-in-law, and Lao Cui led a few people into the courtyard.

Lao Zhu entered the yard and was not in a hurry to enter the house, so he grabbed two handfuls of forage and put them in the trough on the edge of the cowshed, and reached out to stroke the cow's neck affectionately, "When I was a child, I put such a big yellow cow for the landlord, which is stronger than this one, but unfortunately it is still dead, and it is very distressing to think about it now." ”

It is estimated that it was comfortable to be touched by Lao Zhu, the big yellow cow mooed and called, and stretched out his red tongue to lick Lao Zhu's palm. Lao Cui put down the broom and said with a smile: "Look at you like a cow, this cow is really not good to serve, more expensive than people, once you get sick, you will inevitably die." ”

"The cattle I herded did not die of disease, but were killed and eaten by me and my brothers in the village."

Lao Cui scooped up a basin of water and said while washing his hands: "You are really good at laughing, he can't kill you if he kills the landlord's cow, and a life is only worth a donkey's money that year." ”

"Haha...... But no, I almost didn't kill the landlord's family. ”

"Hurry up and wash your hands and go to the house to eat!"

Although I live in a new house, the furnishings at home are still the same as before, the old table and low stools, but the food on the table is no longer the same as before.

"Hurry up and sit down, you can eat whatever you want, there is just a new white bun out of the pot." Lao Cui put the basket on the table, "I'll go to the pot and put a few bowls of rice in the pot." ”

Yuan Sheng pressed Lao Cui to the stool, "You always sit, I'll serve dinner." ”

"Even if you still know some rules, our family is not as rich as the rich and noble, white-flour steamed bread and sweet potato porridge can still be full, and there are a few salted duck eggs just one per person." Lao Cui took out a few duck eggs from the basket and handed one out by himself, but he didn't.

Han Cheng was about to give the duck eggs back, but Lao Cui waved his hand and said: "It looks like they are all bold men, why are they more trivial than monks, just take it for you to eat, I haven't eaten anything except dragon liver and phoenix gall in the past few years." ”

Lao Zhu scraped the remaining egg whites on the eggshell with his fingernails and put them in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Just take it for you, my uncle looks like a person who has eaten and seen the world, and he will care about this mouthful of duck eggs." ”

"Hey...... But no, I've also eaten a big banquet and seen a big scene, it's not that I'm bragging to you, I've also seen the current emperor! ”

Han Cheng smiled and asked, "The old man has actually seen the emperor?" ”

"Yes, the marquis got married that year, and the emperor was still King Wu at that time, and he came to congratulate him in person, and I watched it from the side. That night, for the first time in my life, I ate eighteen bowls of banquet, and I ate ten buns in a row with broth, and at that time I thought about dying, and I was also a full ghost when I went to the underworld, hehe......"

Lao Cui laughed and everyone laughed, and after everyone laughed, Ma Du quipped: "I didn't know that there was this stubble, but I lost it to Lord Yama who confiscated you, otherwise I would have created a sin." ”

Lao Cui said with a straight face: "Where did the Hou Ye say, depending on your age, you should know that the old man is not joking, what kind of life was lived during the Zhizheng years, as long as it is not a blessing for Guanyin to die." My wife's wife starved to death at that time......"

Lao Cui said that muddy old tears rolled down from under his drooping eyelids, and the living room that was still laughing and laughing just now suddenly fell silent, making Yuansheng, who came back from the bowl, confused, "What's the matter, boss, but I feel sorry for your family's food." ”

"Let you see the joke! Eat, eat while it's hot! Lao Cui wiped the old tears on his face with his rough old hands, "The hard days have passed, and the emperor knows that we are suffering, so he sent the Hou Ye to our Zhuangzi, and took the big guys to build houses, burn glass, make soap, raise pigs and sheep on the barren beach, and raise ducks and fish in the Qinhuai River, so that we have a good life now." When you are old, you can still enjoy a few years of happiness when the loess is buried in your neck, and you have not lived in vain in this life, hehe......"

Ma Du broke the steamed bun and put the peeled salted duck egg into it, and with a strong clamp, the yellow fat flowed out, and it was in the steamed bun, Ma Du took a big bite and said vaguely: "Lao Cui, you are mistaken, you have a good life now, it is your own hard work, no matter how big I have, I can't conjure up food in vain." ”

"Master Hou doesn't need to be modest, we didn't lack of hard work in the previous dynasty, but the days are getting more and more difficult, do you say yes?"

Lao Zhu and the others nodded slightly, only Bo Qi remained silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After eating a meal, everyone got up to say goodbye, Lao Cui found a baggage skin, and packed the steamed buns in the basket one by one, "Take these and keep them for eating on the road." ”

Lao Zhu thanked him and said: "It is a great kindness to eat a full meal at my father-in-law's house, and I dare not accept your things again." ”

"I don't have to accept my love, I also look at the face of the Hou Ye. Besides, there is rice and noodles at home, which are full of two cylinders! Lao Cui opened the two large vats in the corner of the wall and proudly showed it to everyone, "If I had these dreams in the first year, I would have woken up with a smile!" ”

Lao Cui kept sending everyone outside the door and whispered: "You go to the three donkeys' house to beg for food, that kid has made a fortune selling glass in the past two years." ”

Lao Zhu arched his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality, Zhu wishes you a long life, a long life, and a long life." ”

"Hey...... Don't worry, I'm reluctant to die! ”

Everyone left, but Bo Qi took a step slow and fell behind, and suddenly said to Lao Cui, "I am the most upright, and I am here to make amends to you!" Then he quickly turned and walked away.

Lao Cui obviously didn't understand the Hebei accent very well, so he plucked his ears and said, "What? What did he say? ”
