Xiaobao rushed back to Huolonggou Village late at night. As soon as he entered the house, Xiaobao fell asleep on the kang.

Second Master Qi scolded, and went to the stove to raise a fire and burn the kang.

In the next few days, news came one after another, and the Japanese searched the vicinity repeatedly but found nothing.

Xiaobao told Qi Erye everything the next day.

Second Master Qi said: "Maybe this is a good thing, the Japanese you killed are likely to be counted as the head of the Anti-Japanese Federation." No one will doubt you. ”

Xiaobao also felt that what Qi Erye said was right.

Feng Zhi came back the next afternoon. Xiaobao just saw it from afar.

After another two days, Liu Wancai wore navy blue brand new clothes and shook his head and tail all over the village to show off, and he was very cow-hide.

Lin Yaozong and Lin Yaozu drove their own carriage to Hailin, and Xiaobao also took a hitchhike to buy New Year's goods.

Xiaobao felt that he was already very restrained, but the breadth of his hands still made the Lin brothers secretly speechless.

Lin Yaozu asked, "Brother Xiaobao, have you made a fortune?" Why is it so wide? ”

Xiaobao sighed, "Daddy is dead, leave some money." Before he died, the old man told me that he wanted me to honor my second master, and of course I had to do so. ”

The Lin brothers had nothing to say.

When he got off in the village, Lin Yaozong said to Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, our family killed the New Year's pig, and told Second Master Qi that we would eat blood sausage together when the time came." ”

Xiaobao smiled and nodded in agreement.

When he got home, Xiaobao and Second Master Qi told the Lin family about killing the New Year's pig for a treat, and Second Master Qi scolded: "Lin Keling, this little pick, even calculates this little thing." He must have thought that the new year was over, and everyone had oil and water in their stomachs to eat less. ”

Xiaobao expressed disbelief.

Second Master Qi said: "Xiaobao, you just came, I don't know how hard Lin Keling is. When his daughter-in-law Xiaoling had just passed the door, she once fried tofu and poured some oil into the pot, which made Lin Keling scolded. He said that tofu is made of soybeans, and soybean oil is also made of soybeans. Xiaobao, put my words here, when his daughter-in-law makes sauerkraut stewed pork, I won't sprinkle cold water in the pot, I'll call you Xiaobaoye! ”

Xiaobao smiled and said, "Old man, what did you say?" Why didn't I get it? ”

Qi Erye said: "After the pork slices are put into the pot, sprinkle cold water on them - the surface of the pork shrinks, and the oil is locked in the meat." You will get tired of eating a few slices of such meat. You don't understand this truth? ”

Xiaobao didn't say anything, but in his heart he believed what Second Master Qi said.

The twenty-third day of the lunar month celebrates the New Year.

Xiaobao said that he didn't put any dishes in dumplings today.

Second Master Qi asked him if chopped green onions were considered vegetables?

Xiaobao smiled and said that the final word!

Second Master Qi is very happy these days, and this year's New Year is the most lively.

Spring Festival couplets are pasted at the entrance of the courtyard and the door of the house. Inside and outside the house, inside and outside the courtyard, let Xiaobao clean up. Tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea are all available. In addition to tobacco, Xiaobao also bought a few packs of Hademen cigarettes in Hailin and bought liquor in glass bottles.

Qi Erye felt sorry for Xiaobao's money while touching Xiaobao's benevolence.

On the morning of the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Xiaobao and Qi Erye were eating yesterday's leftover dumplings with millet porridge. I heard Lin Yaozong shouting him and Second Master Qi outside.

Xiaobao walked out of the door and saw Lin Yaozong sitting in the carriage with a whip.

"Second master, Xiaobao, the family is killing pigs, I'll go over for dinner later. I'm going to pick you up, and when I come back, I won't invite you anymore. Lin Yaozong said with a smile. After saying that, he drove the carriage away with the whip in his hand.

"Xiaobao, Lin Yaozong is going to pick up his cousin Fan Wengui. You go with you. When the time comes, it will be close to Fan Wengui Lala. Take a pack of Hardmen with you. Second Master Qi said.

Xiaobao turned around and went into the house, and came out like a gust of wind and ran to chase the carriage.

Lin Yaozong saw Xiaobao chasing after him and grabbed the reins.

Xiaobao smiled: "I am bored at home all day, with five ridges and six beasts." I'm going to pick you up and breathe. ”

After saying that, he got into the carriage with a flick of his legs.

Lin Yaozong shook the reins and continued to move forward.

A brand new quilt was wrapped around the carriage.

Xiaobao asked curiously: "Pick up people, pick them up, take the quilt dry?" ”

Lin Yaozong's face fell suddenly, "What are you doing? Sit down for my cousin. Don't freeze his groove! I used this quilt the night Xiaoling came through the door. My dad had to ask me to take it out today. After saying that, his face ached.

"Passing through the door? What did Brother Yaozong do to his brother Bai Baihu that night? Xiaobao said with a hippie smile.

Lin Yaozong's face collapsed even more, and it took a long time for him to sigh, and he closed his mouth tightly without squeaking.

Xiaobao is not an eyeless person, and he no longer speaks to look at the two horses of Lin Yaozong's family.

The two horses were fat and strong, with shiny capillaries.

As the saying goes, poor families are accustomed to children, and rich families are accustomed to mules and horses. Habitual children, children are pampered. Habitual mules and horses, mules and horses are fat and strong. The habitual children become poorer and poorer, and the habitual mules and horses become richer and richer.

"Brother Yaozong, your family must not have run away these days!" Xiaobao sighed.

Although Lin Yaozong was puzzled by what he heard, he also smiled.

"Xiaobao, get out of the car!" Lin Yaozong suddenly shouted and jumped out of the carriage.

Xiaobao also slipped down. When I looked up, a small black dot appeared as far as my eye could see.

"Uncle Cousin!" Lin Yaozong shouted into the distance. While shouting, he led the carriage towards the comers.

The people who came saw it more and more clearly.

A crisp black uniform, shiny high-waisted leather boots, and a red, white, blue, black and yellow badge in the center of a black brimmed hat.

"It's fatter than before." Lin Yaozong muttered quietly.

Xiao Bao glanced at him in surprise, and turned his head to face the big fat face that seemed to be smiling.

"Uncle Cousin, you wait a while." Lin Yaozong turned around and hurriedly spread the quilt on the carriage.

"Why are you so troublesome, just spread some hay?" The visitor said with a smile.

Lin Yaozong suddenly became embarrassed. Although Xiaobao didn't know what was going on, he saw the opportunity very quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Cousin, it's a cold day, hurry up and get in the car and go home to warm up." ”

"Whose family are you?" Someone asked.

"Second Master Qi is my uncle, and I came to accompany him to celebrate the New Year this year." Xiaobao replied.

"Hey, it turned out to be the grandson of Second Master Qi. Come on, get on the bus together. The person who came suddenly became enthusiastic about Xiaobao.

Someone climbed into the car and sat on the quilt in a big way.

Xiaobao sat on the car and glanced at Lin Yaozong. Only then did Lin Yaozong react and sit on the other side of Cheyan, with a wave of the horsewhip in his hand, the carriage walked towards Huolonggou Village.

Xiaobao took out a Hademen cigarette, opened it, took out one, and respectfully handed it to the visitor, "Uncle Cousin smokes one." ”

"Yo, that's good." The visitor put the cigarette in his mouth.

Xiaobao hurriedly leaned in and struck a match for the visitor, and took out another one and handed it to Lin Yaozong.

Lin Yaozong took the cigarette and did not let Xiaobao light it, but carefully looked at it for a while and then carefully clamped it to his ear.

Xiaobao turned around again, and couldn't help but say, stuffing cigarettes and matches into the pocket of the visitor's jacket, "Uncle Cousin, this is the eldest nephew, who honors your old man." ”

The person who came looked at Lin Yaozong with a smile and said, "If you don't work hard, you don't work lazy, you don't have long eyes." ”

When Lin Yaozong heard this, his face twitched involuntarily.
