The eyes are white, and the snowmen are lined up. A broom is used as an arm, and a fur hat is also worn. Red beans become buttons, and the heart is happy.

Zhangjia Zhuangzi, during the afternoon break, the children who ran out of the school picked up their tools and began to build snowmen, one by one the big snowballs rolled out, the smaller ones were on top, and then made up some snow, it became a snowman.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also joined in, pointing out from time to time, and the children were responsible for doing things, and for this, Zhang Xiaobao specially asked people to find some things in the grocery store, such as poor quality leather hats, brooms, red soybeans, and black charcoal.

The carrot was also taken out as a nose, Wang Juan didn't understand at first, why did a child build a snowman and take out so many things, just replace the arm with a branch, and use mud balls in other places, and it cost some money now.

Zhang Xiaobao said to her: "This is cohesion, so that children have a sense of belonging to Zhuangzi from an early age, everything is the best, they are also the best, you see, the children see these things, one by one to do more seriously." ”

Looking at the snowmen that were formed one by one, Wang Juan had to admit that as soon as these things were taken out, the children's performance was different, more formal, and more rigorously organized.

"Xiaoman, look, this is you, this is me, I will pull you until, until spring comes." Liu Er took the little brother's hand and stood in front of the two snowmen, one big and one small, and said to the younger brother who was not very sensible.

Xiaoman is much stronger than when he started, if others don't say it, they can't tell that this child is the small, black and thin poor baby at the beginning.

At this time, he was wearing thick clothes, a leather hat on his head, and a scarf around his neck, holding his sister's hand, seeing those people busy, laughing happily.

Hearing his sister's words, the three-year-old turned his head and asked, "Sister, spring is coming, the snow has melted, and we are gone." ”

"Well, the snow has melted, we ...... We. Liu Er didn't know what to say, and didn't seem to want spring to come.

"And ye shall be turned into water, and shall flow together into the river, and shall become clouds, one great and one small, and shall fly in the heavens." Wang Juan felt that the child's mood was really incomprehensible, and when he looked at the snowman, he didn't want spring to come, so he said in a child's tone on the side.

Liu Er's eyes lit up, "Yes, when the time comes, it will become a cloud, and then it will become rain, and it will fall on the flowers and plants below, Xiaoman will water a flower, and my sister will water a flower, and the two flowers will still be together, and in winter, it will become a snowman again, and it will be a little bigger than this year's, and my sister will always be with you." ”

"Together." Xiao Man was happy again.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also have a new feeling, the change of the four seasons has sadness and hope.

A horse ran over from a distance, did not go to the place where the children played, and went directly to the courtyard of the main house, after a while, Steward Zhang walked here, and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who were there to make snow slides: "Little boy, little lady, the county order is coming, it is estimated that it will arrive after dark." ”

"Oh, it seems that he still hasn't given up, come on, just see what he's going to do? Keep an eye on people, including the people he sees, and it's better to know even what they're saying. ”

Zhang Xiaobao stopped shoveling snow in his hand, looked at the small bridge and said.

Steward Zhang knew that the little boy didn't care about this, nodded in response, turned to leave, Wang Juan complained a little unhappily: "I have to come today, I finally took the child to play for a while, and the mood has deteriorated again, and the intrigue all day long, it would be good if we were really a child who doesn't understand anything." ”

"Children want to grow up quickly, adults want to go back to the past, we are back, we should be content, the nostalgia for life is not in the pain of death, but not to lose attention to the world, just live." Zhang Xiaobao seemed to be used to fighting, and said firmly to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan smiled, "That's what I said, if you want to live a good life, you must master more resources, the competition will never stop, the snowman will also face spring, the flowers will bloom, the clouds will roll up, the tide will ebb and flow, the time will come, as long as you can go further on this road." ”

"Well, this is life, it's okay, it's much easier for me to have you, when the water in the pool freezes, let's make ice lanterns, there is a little bit of fire red in the crystal, and there is a warm heart in the cold." Zhang Xiaobao's mood was also touched by the children's cheerful play, and he would not usually say this.

In order to leave more memories of laughter for the children, Zhang Xiaobao specially announced that there will be no class for a while today, in the laughter of the children, in the gaze of the black eyes of the snowman, the night is quietly coming, and the sky above the silent Zhuangzi is a hazy full moon.

"My lord, bear with me, you'll be at the place soon, and you won't be able to eat anything else after eating instant noodles for a while."

It was dark, a few lanterns were hung in front of the car, or picked up by the officials, Jia County's team was getting closer and closer to Tuqiao Village, Jia County's order had a full meal some time ago, and the instant noodles in the bowl tasted really good in his opinion, especially the meat pieces and dried green onions and vegetables added later, and the taste was only a little worse when soaked.

At this time, he felt hungry again and wanted to eat another bowl, but the official was reluctant to give it to him, and ordinary people couldn't eat these things at all, so he persuaded him.

Jia Xianling swallowed his saliva and said, "It's coming?" Okay, a little faster. ”

"Hurry up." Seeing that Jia County's order no longer cared about them asking for something to eat, the official relieved his heart and shouted, and the speed of the procession was indeed much faster.

In fact, if they want, they can go to the place before dark, in order to give Zhangjia Zhuangzi more time to prepare, this has been delayed until now, the county order in the car is not comfortable, and they are also cold and tired.

When the car came to Gejia Zhuangzi, except for the occasional dog barking, there was only the movement of the car rolling on the snow.

Jia Xian Ling lifted the curtain to look outside, but in the darkness around, he saw a bright light along the road in the distance, and asked the official outside, "Why is it still lit over there?" Could it be that someone is walking? ”

"If you go back to the adult, it is the other side of the small bridge, where the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang are located, and a lantern will be lit every other section of the road to illuminate people." The official said beside him.

In his heart, he thought that if someone came to make trouble, he would avoid the places where the lanterns could shine and find dark places, but those dark places were the places where the seedling guards watched.

"I heard there's a market here, and it's still there?" Jia Xianling thought for a while and didn't think of anyone who would walk on Zhuangzi's road at night, so he had to ask about other things.

"Yes, there will be more days for the New Year, more people come to exchange things, and there are businessmen who come from other places to collect pork, and Zhangjia Zhuangzi has begun to kill pigs."

As soon as the official talked about the killing of pigs by Zhangjia Zhuangzi, there was a more excited expression on his face, and then Zhuangzi would give them some meat, and there were hundreds of pigs to be killed this year.

Jia Xian Ling saw the appearance of the official by the light of the lantern, and felt uncomfortable, if he raised two pigs and killed them, the official would definitely not be so happy, "Is it cheap to buy things here?" Zhangjia Zhuangzi is so shrewd, why don't you sell it yourself? ”

The official shook his head, "It's not cheap, the pork here is sold separately, the elbows are put together, the pig's head is put together, the ribs and meat are also piled separately, after buying according to this, a pig will cost dozens of dollars more." ”

"Oh? Still expensive? Then other people are stupid to come and buy it? Jia County Ling couldn't figure it out.

"Naturally, you can buy enough here at one time, and other places will charge more money for cars, and there is a special carriage and horse shop in the county to send carriages and horses to wait here, and the businessmen who bought things directly hire cars to pull them away, which can save half of the road expenses than sending cars themselves." At this time, the official knew everything and said everything.

When Jia County Ling heard that he was using the carriage and horse shop of Sanshui County, he was also happy in his heart, at least he could let the people earn more money, and then he could collect more taxes if he bought things with money, as the official said yesterday.

The official continued: "Don't look at the carriage and horse shop here, as long as you go to the money, but you can still earn an extra share, buy things from other places on the way back, just come back to the market here to sell, and sell the things directly to Ergou, and Zhangjia Zhuangzi will add a lot of work to sell them." ”

"Speaking of which, the money was finally earned by Zhang's Zhuangzi?" Jia Xianling was not happy when he thought of Zhangjia Zhuangzi making money.

"All earned, my lord, when you arrive, do you want to cross the small bridge first, or are you going to go directly to Shuiyunjian Restaurant? A few buildings have been built in Shuiyunjian, but they have not been completely repaired, and only the original one can be traded. The car had come to the point where it had branched off, and the official asked.

Jia Xianling hesitated for a moment, and said: "Don't go to the bridge today, go to the restaurant, let them serve the signature dishes, oops, the official came out today and forgot to bring money." ”

Jia County Ling deliberately said the second half of the sentence, wanting to make the Zhang family poor, the official understood the county order's careful thinking, and said on the side: "Adults don't have to worry about money, as in the past, you just eat." ”

"Well, the upper family in Sanshui County is good." Jia Xianling will only feel happy at this time, every time he goes out to eat in the past few days, he specially picks out signature dishes, the more expensive the better, and he feels revenge on the Zhang family when he eats a bite.

When the car arrived outside the door of Shuiyunjian, there was no snow to be seen, and the yellow sand paved the ground, giving people a dry and tidy feeling, Jia Xianling deliberately wore official clothes today, just to let the people of Zhangjia Zhuangzi know that they came to them this time, and he also understood that even if he didn't wear it, people would know that he was coming, and there were so many spies around him.

"Your Excellency, you are here, please come inside, and wait on the second floor." The guy came out, and when he saw that the new county order of Sanshui County had really arrived, he greeted him neatly.
