After entering the city, I first came to Guizhi Hall to put my things. Although all the pharmacies were open on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zuo Gui's father and son were not there, and Guizhitang could not open.

After knocking on the door, the person who came to open the door was a short and fat middle-aged man, staring at a pair of small slitted eyes, and looked at Zuo Shaoyang and them happily: "Oh, I was still talking about why you didn't come back just now, but it happened to be back......"

Fennel's voice came from behind him: "Don't talk patronizingly, hurry up and help get something!" ”

Xiao Squinted Eyes hurriedly picked up the bell doctor flag in Zuo Gui's hand, and then went to pick up the medicine box on Zuo Shaoyang's back, looked Zuo Shaoyang up and down, and said with a smile: "Da Lang, I heard your sister say that you fell off a cliff, injured your head, and lost your memory, can you still remember your brother-in-law?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, you told me, I don't know this, I'm not amnesia, but stupid, so he smiled: "Brother-in-law!" ”

This person is Fennel's husband, Hou Pu, who is a scribe in the county government, heard Zuo Shaoyang's words, he was immediately happy, patted Zuo Shaoyang's shoulder, turned back to Fennel and said, "How is it?" I'll just say, Dalang may not know anyone, how can you not know me! Well, I'm right! ”

Immediately I heard the sound of knocking footsteps, and a little boy came out from behind Hou Pu, hugged Hou Pu's thighs, and stared at Zuo Shaoyang with small round eyes. Then, a little girl emerged from the other side of Houpp's thigh. He also hugged Houp's thigh and looked at him, with one hand still in his mouth.

"Come inside!" Fennel stepped forward and gently slapped the two children, "Why don't you call people?" Silly? ”

"Grandpa! - Uncle! The two children said to Zuo Gui and Zuo Shaoyang in unison.

Zuo Gui nodded, reached out and touched their little heads: "Good!" "Step into the house.

Fennel saw Zuo Shaoyang smirking and looking at the two children, her eyes were a little overwhelmed, and she knew that her amnesiac brother had forgotten these two children, and she felt sorry in her heart, and stepped forward to touch the boy's head and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Soybean also told my sister Douhua just now, why haven't my grandfather and uncle come yet, they are waiting for the New Year." Huh"

Listening to his sister's words, Zuo Shaoyang knew that these two children were fennel's children, that is, his nephews. The eldest boy is named Douhua, who is five years old, and the younger daughter is named Douhua. I just turned three years old this year. Then he reached out and pinched their two cold cheeks: "Little guy, come into the house, it's very cold outside!" ”

Soybean took Zuo Shaoyang's hand, looked up and said with a little face: "Uncle, I heard that you have a little squirrel, it's fun, play with me for a while, okay?" ”

Douhua Yaya also looked up and said, "I want to play too!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "The little squirrel is still young, I just opened my eyes, and I can't play with you yet, so I have to wait until it's older and my uncle will let it play with you, okay?" ”

While they were talking, Fennel was helping to pat the snow on the shoulders of Daddy's Zuo Gui, and at a glance she saw Miao Peilan standing on the bluestone slab outside the door, and said happily: "Ouch, it's Miss Peilan, come in!" ”

Miao Peilan came in with the medicine basket and the big package on her back and put the basket down.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Pei Lan went to the city to sell medicinal materials, and she dug up some medicinal materials. Later, I will take her to the Washi medicinal herb market to sell. She saw that we had a lot of things to bring, so she helped us carry them back. Zuo Shaoyang took the big package from the medicine basket.

Soybean shouted: "Uncle, give me the package, I'll hug it!" He stretched out his hand and hugged the big package in Zuo Shaoyang's hand.

"Be careful!" Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile.

"I'm going to hug it too!" Douhua also milky, stretched out his hand and grabbed the big package with his brother.

Fennel came over and took the package and pulled a handful of soybeans: "You two don't make trouble, stay there!" ”

Soybeans and bean curd didn't seem to be afraid of their mother's fennel, but still hummed and chirped to help their mother carry the big package and put it on the long table.

Fennel patted the package and said curiously, "What is this?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "It is two pieces of fabric and two beds of silk cotton given to us by Master Jia of Lao Huai Village. ”

Fennel was overjoyed when she heard this, and turned back to her mother Liang and said, "Mother, two pieces of cloth and two beds of silk!" Come and see. ”

Liang hurriedly came over, opened the package, and saw that it was really two pieces of silk and two beds of silk. Touched it with his hand: "Ouch, it's really good material and silk, this has to be put in the ready-to-wear shop, how can it add up to a tael of silver, why is Master Jia so generous?" ”

"He can't be generous!" Zuo Shaoyang smiled, "Dad saved his son's life!" If it weren't for his father last night, his only son would have died. ”

"Yes?" Fennel said happily: "Our father is really capable!" ”

Zuo Gui stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It was Zhong'er who discovered the real cause of the child, otherwise, it would be very troublesome." ”

Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "To treat this measles, my father's prescription works." ”

Zuo Gui sat down behind the long table. Liang hurriedly ran to the house to make him tea.

Fennel said: "Mother, what should I do with this fabric?" Do you pay Sanniang back when you exchange it for money? ”

Liang answered in the kitchen: "Listen to your father!" ”

Fennel looked at Zuo Gui's father with a smile: "Dad, if the material and silk cotton are sold, it will not be enough to pay back Sanniang, you are old, or else, I will make you a cotton jacket, warm and lively." The rest will be sold. ”

Zuo Gui shook his head: "This material and silk cotton are not sold, make a set of cotton jackets for soybeans, bean curd and Zhong'er for the New Year!" ”

Fennel was overjoyed and pulled her son: "You two are fools, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to your grandfather for the New Year?" I didn't hear my grandfather promise you a new padded jacket! ”

The two children were also well-behaved, and immediately knelt on the ground, knocked Zuo Gui three times, and said in a milky voice: "New Year's greetings to grandpa!" I wish my grandfather a long life! ”

"Hmmm! Good! Get up! Zuo Gui stretched out his hand to pull the two children up, turned back to Liang and said, "What about the red envelope?" ”

Liang had already made tea and came out: "Here!" Put the teapot in front of Zuo Gui, take out two small red envelopes wrapped in red paper from his arms, and hand them to Zuo Gui.

Zuo Gui put the red envelope in the hands of soybeans and bean curd, one for each person: "Good! Grow up fast, grow fast, no disease and no disaster! ”

"Thank you, grandpa." The two children took the red envelope, opened it and counted it, and there were six copper coins per person.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Dad, I don't need to make a padded jacket, you and your mother should make a set." Take care of yourselves, when you are old. ”

Fennel said: "Yes, Dad, you and your mother should also make one set." I think this fabric and silk cotton should be enough. ”

Zuo Gui shook his head and said, "No, three children, one set, the children will wear new clothes for the New Year." I see that three sets of cotton jackets with a piece of fabric and a bed of silk cotton is enough, and the rest of the fabric and silk cotton are sold to make money to pay back Sanniang, people give us so much grace, we have money, we have to think about paying off the debt first. ”

Zuo Shaoyang heard that his father Zuo Gui still regarded himself as a child like soybeans and bean curd, and also made new cotton clothes for himself, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the eyes of his parents, children always don't grow up, and they are still children when they are adults. However, he can't treat himself as a child, so Zuo Shaoyang said: "Father, mother, I am already sincere, I am in good health, I don't need a padded jacket, I don't need to make it, even if I do, I won't wear it!" That's it! We should pay back Sanniang with the money, and then think about something else when it's over. ”

Zuo Gui raised his head and looked at Zuo Shaoyang, and nodded slowly: "Since this is the case, then just do it for the two children." ”

Hou Pu was very embarrassed, this cloth and silk cotton belonged to the child's grandfather's family, and it stands to reason that his family was an outsider, and his grandfather's family didn't do it, but he did it for his grandson, which was a little unreasonable, and he was about to speak, fennel had already rushed to say to Zuo Gui and his wife: "You two elders don't make padded jackets, and you don't make them for your younger brother, but you make them for soybeans and their two grandsons, so it's not good......"

Zuo Gui snorted: "What's wrong, that's it!" - Zhong'er, hurry up and take Miss Peilan to Washi to sell medicinal herbs, people have to go back to Laohuai Village as soon as possible! ”

Fennel hurriedly said: "It's already afternoon, otherwise, let's go back when they finish selling the medicinal herbs and eat at home." ”

Miao Peilan hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, eldest sister, the family is still waiting for me to go back." ”

"That's right, that brother, hurry up and take Miss Peilan to sell medicine!"

Zuo Shaoyang agreed, and led Miao Peilan through the streets and alleys to Washi, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the medicinal herb market and other stalls in Washi had already opened, and the cries for sale rang out one after another.
