The New Year was not happy to cry, and Xu Zhangshi held back his tears.

Xu Jiaojiao saw Xu Zhang's like this, and she had an idea, "That's it, mother, my fifth brother and I are idle anyway, let's go to the town to rent a carriage and go to meet the third brother." ”

Xu Zhang's eyes lit up, "Okay!" This line!! The fifth brother knows the way, you and the fifth brother go together to meet your third brother, in case your third brother is walking on the road again, it will be too difficult to catch a ride......"

The more I talked about it, the more I felt that this proposal was feasible.

turned around and called Xu Lao Wu out, and then brought all the things that the family had prepared for the third child in advance.

Pork, sausages, loquat paste, loquat wine, and a few good fabrics from the He family, as well as pastries, sugar, white flour and so on.

"Bring these with you, it's not easy to come and go on this snowy day, in case you can't meet your third brother, you will send these things to the third brother's house, so that his weather is good, and then come back to see, regardless of this day or two." Old girl, things can pass through their eyes, I will give you two taels of silver, you give you the third brother in private, he is not having a good time at home, he has a little money in his hand, and he has some ...... to live."

Xu Zhang's took out two taels of silver and brought it to Xu Jiaojiao.

Everything has Xu Lao Wu on his back.

Xu Zhang's repeated confessions, "Fifth child, Jiaojiao hasn't been to the third child's house a few times, you have been there a little more often, do you remember the way?" If you go to Cai's house, speak politely, save you from leaving, your third brother is not good at being a person, you know? Especially Lao Wu, you stupid dog, can you speak? ”

Xu Lao Wu was trained like a chicken pecking rice, "I know, mother, I can speak, I understand the difficulties of the third brother, and I promise not to make trouble for the third brother." ”

Xu Jiaojiao also promised, "I won't make trouble for the third brother, mother, don't worry." ”

The memories of the third brother in her memory are pitiful.

It's like Xu Dafu, when he was a child, he had a meningitis similar disease, he had a high fever, he didn't have the money to send him to the hospital in time, and when he grew up, his mouth was crooked, his hands and feet were not very neat, he had low self-esteem, and his personality was taciturn, and he later became a son-in-law.

Xu Dafu's family as a son-in-law is surnamed Cai.

It is far away, not in Shazhou County, but in a small remote village in Anping County, a neighboring county.

The ancestors of the Cai family were born butchers, both men and women, all of them were born with big shoulders and round waists, and they were very powerful.

Without further ado, it's hard to walk on a snowy day, and you have to hurry up to what you decide.

Xu Lao Wu and Xu Jiaojiao, two brothers and sisters, went to the town to rent a carriage, and now the old Xu family only has an ox cart, which is to drag spring water, and the ox cart is slow, suitable for dragging bulky goods, and it is not fast.

If you want to go out, especially if you are far away, it is better to come by horse-drawn carriage.

Of course, horse-drawn carriages are more expensive.

The cattle are easier to feed, and in this cold weather, they just give dry straw and the cattle chew and eat it slowly.

But what to give a horse to eat is more demanding than a human to eat.

Today is the second day of the new year, there are many people who go to relatives, and the business of the carriage and horse dealers in the town is good, Xu Jiaojiao and the others went a little late, and the cheap carriages were rented.

I simply rented the best carriage, which was a bit more expensive.

Xu Lao Wu listened to the price and felt distressed.

Xu Jiaojiao said, "This kind of carriage is good, fast, light, and safe and not bumpy, our third brother's legs and feet are inconvenient, let's run quickly to pick him up." ”

"Okay then."

I rented a carriage and set off all the way.

There is also a coachman in the carriage and horse shop, but it will be cheaper to catch the car by himself, Xu Lao Wu did not ask for a coachman, he sat in front of the car and raised the whip, and the two of them set off along the road towards Yongan Town.

I didn't stop this walk, and I didn't meet Xu Laosan halfway through.

Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Lao Wu's eyes widened, and they didn't let go of any of the people along the way.

It wasn't until I walked to Yong'an Town that I still didn't meet Xu Laosan.

Xu Jiaojiao asked Xu Lao Wu, "Fifth brother, could it be that the third brother has gone another way?" We didn't encounter this? ”

Xu Lao Wu replied, "The third brother's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he generally doesn't take other paths, but takes the avenues." Besides, it's a snowy day, and he definitely won't take the path, or he didn't pay attention to it and missed it. ”

Xu Jiaojiao pondered, it was possible.

"Since we're all here, let's go to the third brother's house first."

Xu Zhang's let him bring so many things, there is no reason to pull it back, so he sent it to the third brother's house first.

Cai's family is in a small village under Yong'an Town, Xu Lao Wu has been to it several times, the road is familiar, and he went to the door with a carriage.

Along the way, many places were blocked by heavy snow, and Xu Laowu's carriage was not smooth, and it was blocked after a while.

Fortunately, the carriages all carried shovels, specially prepared for clearing the road.

When Xu Jiaojiao saw this road, she thought that his third brother was afraid that he didn't go out at all, because he was blocked at home.

The two of them had a lot of strength anyway, and the snow on the road was thick, and the carriage couldn't pass, so they got out of the car to dig up the snow and open the way.

With great effort, I dug all the way to Caiwan Village.

When I arrived, it was almost noon.

When I entered the village, I smelled the smell of food wafting from every house.

The people of Caiwan Village, seeing that there were horse-drawn carriages entering the village on this snowy day, all came to watch the excitement.

"Huh? Where did this beautiful sister-in-law come from, she looks so good, this dress is also good-looking, and this material is still dark, tsk tsk......"

"I'm a little familiar with this posterior, it seems to be from Xujia Village? It's Xu Laosan's younger brother, right? I seem to have seen it before, this younger brother has come to Lao Cai's house to fight before......"

"Hey, as soon as you say it, I remember, it's that Xu Lao Wu! In the first two years, this posterior life has not grown so strong, and now this bearing is extraordinary! ”

"I'm afraid it's lively again now, the old Cai family lacks morality, I don't know how Xu Laosan is now."

……

Everyone whispered, after Xu Jiaojiao took the tranquilizer pill several times, her ears and hearing were much better than before, and she felt a little strange when she heard the last few words.

What's going on, what's going on here?

The two got out of the carriage, and so many neighbors watched, but the gate of Lao Cai's courtyard was closed, as if there was no reaction.

Xu Jiaojiao suspiciously patted the gate of the courtyard.

The Cai family is a few dilapidated adobe houses, surrounded by a fence and a courtyard, no different from other villagers.

Xu Jiaojiao greeted the onlookers with a smile, "Folks, happy New Year, we are from Xujia Village, come to see my third brother, is my third brother at home?" ”

The villagers were about to speak, when the gate of the courtyard opened from the inside.

"Who! For the New Year, just knock on the door and shoot your soul! What are you all doing in front of our house? What do you want to do? Do you want to come to our house to beg for food? Don't let people eat? ”
