Counting nine cold days, all the sounds are silent, this is a true portrayal of the winter days in Guanlou Village in the past, people are like bears and snakes cowering on the bed, shivering.

On the white earth, except for the occasional foraging house finch, there is no one to be seen.

But this year's Guanlou Village has undergone great changes, driving the handlebars of ox carts and carriages, shouting their own livestock, and coming and going on the post road.

As soon as they met, they would nod to each other, look at each other and smile, and continue to hum an unknown tune. Even if the cold wind cuts his cheeks like a knife, the warmth in his heart will still overflow unconsciously.

Handlebar old Zhan Tou, this is the sixth time that he has hauled stones from the gravel mountain of more than 100 miles for the loser of Guanlou Village.

Although I don't know why the little lord of the ruined family needs so many stones, almost all the ox carts and carriages in the capital have already been dispatched.

This still can't satisfy the appetite of the loser little lord, as long as he doesn't use gravel to fool around, he will definitely get both money and goods, and he will never be in arrears.

Lao Zhan Tou gently stroked a water stone on the oxcart with his rough hands, although this kind of stone is not very rare, but such a large piece is relatively rare.

It's just that I don't know if the loser in Guanlou Village will like it.

During this time, Lao Zhan Tou's heart was always a little apprehensive, a car of stone has always been money, if this is placed on weekdays, a car of stone can be sold for a maximum of 100 Wen. Even if it's winter and the roads are inconvenient, the price is ten times higher, and it's really ........

Lao Zhan couldn't help but shake his head, although it was good to make money, he always felt that he was making money.

Now six carts of stones have been transported to the Jue's Mansion, and with these six pieces of money, the whole family will have a good year. In previous years, as long as you don't owe taxes to the government, it is already a good year. But this year, with the extra income of six yuan, you can buy some fabric for the mother-in-law and the girl at home to make new clothes, and you can also cut some fresh meat, exchange some white noodles, and make dumplings.

Yes, Juefu is in charge of that kind of bun, called dumplings.

When I was a child, as long as I carried stones to the Juefu, everyone would receive a large plate, and it was stuffed with pork and green onions....... That's delicious!

When Lao Zhan Tou thought of this, he couldn't help licking his somewhat dry lips, trying to taste the aroma of the dumplings he ate that day.

Although the little lord is a bit of a loser, the young man's life is clear and beautiful, and he looks like an immortal from a distance.

Yes, the big guys say that he has a fairy master, and if you want to come to dumplings as delicious, it must be a heavenly delicacy.

There are gods in the three feet of the head, don't be disrespectful!

It is possible that the little lord does not eat the fireworks of the world, and he does not know the value of this money in the world, so he will inevitably be coaxed by the villain.

If you can speak today, you must persuade you.

Even if you can't speak, but this money can't be earned anymore no matter what, otherwise if you go to pit such an immortal child, maybe you will be retributed.

"Hey, I said old Zhantou, where is the stone you pulled today? You know, it's not bluestone, it's not that you don't give money. Ni Qibo, who came to supervise, looked at a cart of stones and said dissatisfied.

Ni Qibo was very unhappy in his heart, in his opinion, none of the guys in the world were good people. They are all here to pit their own little lord's money.

It's good now, even honest people like Lao Zhan Tou are now starting to be shoddy.

It seems that the overseer is still very necessary, and the young man is not good at this, and he is all contaminated with the bad problem of the little lord's lavish spending, so that even the old Zhan Tou began to think crookedly.

"Xiao Lizi, the lord gave you this errand, but he didn't let you fool around, you dare to accept such a stone!" Ni Qibo angrily lectured villager Li Erdao.

The students have their own things to be responsible for, the matter of receiving stones, Wen Qihang was entrusted to the villagers, Ni Qibo was worried that these big characters do not know a guy, it will be bad to smell the things of Qihang, so he often comes to check it, this look, it doesn't matter, Shangshui stone, just a kind of ornamental stone, is not able to build a house, a hammer down, it will become fragments.

"........" villager Li Er couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Seeing this, Lao Zhan hurriedly explained: "The chief is too worried, this car of stone is not used by Xiao Lao'er to sell for money. These are rare and excellent water stones.

This is not the blessing of the lord, but also the kindness of the lord, so that the little old man has some surplus wealth in his family, so the little old man has no other meaning, and there is naturally no shortage in the family of a noble man like the lord.

Xiao Lao'er saw that a few water stones were good, and the nobles seemed to like them, so they wanted to express Xiao Lao'er's heart.

It really doesn't mean anything else, it's just a thought. ”

"Well, you have a heart, it's okay, then stay, what you mean, I'll tell the lord." Ni Qibo nodded and said.

"Then it's going to be a long trouble." Old Zhan said with a smile.

"However, the lord is not a person who takes other people's things for nothing, you just take this bamboo stick to the account room to receive the money."

"Ahh Old Zhan said in surprise.

"Ahhh You don't want to think about your identity, a noble person like the lord is also what you want to climb, can you climb? This is always money, even if it is a reward for you. ”

"Hey........" Lao Zhan Tou sighed helplessly in his heart, shook his head, and turned around a little lonely and wanted to leave.

"Please stay, old man." Wen Qihang stepped forward with a smile and shouted to Lao Zhan Toudao, who was just about to leave.

Lao Zhan turned around and saw that he was calling him when he heard Qihang, and in a hurry, he wanted to kneel.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Wen Qihang stepped forward and hugged Lao Zhan, who wanted to kneel and worship, said.

"Sir, you, the little old man is really a little buried, I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry........" Lao Zhan said in a panic.

"Don't be nervous." Wen Qihang said with relief.

"It's such a cold day, why are you here, sir?" Ni Qibo said with concern.

Wen Qihang said with a smile: "I, just to come and see, next spring, we will start to build, this is not idle, I want to find a few good stones, engrave some words in front of the building, for signboards."

The stone sent by this old man this time is very good, I think about it, after our Deren Hall is completed, we will build a pond in front of the courtyard, and put this water stone in it.

Healer! Kindness is like water, which is the realm of great success. ”

"Sir, do you mean that you like this stone given by Xiao Lao'er?" Old Zhan was overjoyed.

"I like it very much, since it was given to me by the old man, I naturally want to return the gift." Wen Qihang turned to the stone and said, "Prepare ten catties of pork, ten catties of beef, a bag of flour, and a jar of five-colored pickles for this old man." ”

"I can't do it, I can't help it, sir, I can't help it, that stone is not worth so much." Old Zhan waved his hand vigorously.

"It's all mind, and since it's mind, it's equivalent. There is no distinction between high and low, you gave me what you think is the best, but I can only give it back to you, for me, it is not the most valuable. In that case, I owe you something. ”

"Sir, you're serious, you're serious." Old Zhan's face turned red and said.

Wen Qihang smiled and said: "Since we are courteous, it is vulgar to send money, and the old man should not be surprised." ”

"No strange, no strange........" Old Zhan's rough hands waved like a fan turning at high speed.

When Lao Zhan Tou woke up from the great sense of happiness, he smelled that Qihang had already gone away, and he suddenly felt a kind of chagrin in his heart. I thought that if I saw this little lord today, I would remind him not to be cheated.

It's good now, looking at Wen Qihang and a fairy-like woman in white clothes going farther and farther, it's too late to catch up.
