Chapter 155: New Year's Goods
"Little bunny! Where did you steal cattle last night! Also know to come back. ”
In a remote place in the north of the city, there is such a house facing the street, and the woman in the house is wearing domestic clothes, leaning against the door, pointing at the young man outside with one hand, and holding her forehead with one hand, as if she hates iron but not steel.
The young man outside the door was tired of standing, so he found a place to sit under the eaves, shook his head that was aching from hangover, and said to the woman angrily, "It's nothing more than a few sips with friends, what are you scolding?" ”
The man was so disdainful that the woman became even more angry, and went into the house, got a broom, and came out to beat the boy.
When the broom was about to fall, the wooden door diagonally opposite the door slowly opened under an ancient creak, and the woman hurriedly collected the broom, and drove the young man sitting under the eaves in, and with a smile on his face, he took the wooden door back.
"Shame!" As she drove the boy into the house, the woman glanced at the neighbor to see if he had noticed.
The boy was accustomed to this, and he was accustomed to picking up such an opportunity, entered the house, took off the coat he was wearing, and walked upstairs casually, holding on to the stairs.
The young man lay down for a while, and heard someone talking downstairs, got up in a daze, leaned down and looked, it was none other than his cousin who he hadn't seen for a long time-Ma Jinshan.
There was a while of chattering downstairs, and the young man listened to it half-asleep, but it was nothing more than that the kind aunt sent some things for the winter, and the aunt and nephew didn't say much goodbye, just said goodbye in a hurry.
After the cousin had left for a while, the boy staggered down from the upper floor, tilted his head and asked, "What did you send?" ”
The woman tussled her clothes inside, and said casually, "What can there be, nothing more than coals and quilts." It's these things every year.,It's like sending it to Hanako.。 ”
But the young man did not believe it, but stretched out his hand and said to the woman, "She must have brought you some money, give me some, and the shopkeeper will urge me to pay back the money." ”
The woman quickly touched her wallet, took two steps back, gritted her teeth and said, "No, I only paid back the money for you a few days ago, why do you owe it again." ”
The young man took two steps forward, with an indifferent look, and said lazily, "Brothers, a few drinks, and it costs you to pay for it, what do you do when you ask so much, it's not that I don't pay you back, and when I get the mine, your little silver is not a matter of a little scraps." ”
The woman, tired of the endless empty words, turned and went upstairs. But the young man followed, and was about to pull the woman when there was another knock at the door.
"Sixth aunt?" The knocking on the door continued, and the people outside the door shouted again.
When she heard who the voice was, she hurried downstairs. Different from the casualness when Jin Shan came, the woman dusted off her body, cut her hair, changed her smile, walked downstairs, opened a crack in the wooden door, and said quite earnestly, "It's a long way out, is there anything wrong with coming to find the sixth aunt?" ”
Pin Yuan pointed to the things that the guy was holding behind him, and said with a smile, "The family has bought some New Year's goods to send some to the sixth aunt." ”
The woman glanced at the cloth that the man was holding, and immediately smiled, hurriedly opened the door, welcomed everyone in, and shouted upstairs, "Brother Cheng, come and pay a visit to my cousin." ”
Shen Cheng really came down from the upper floor, smiled at Pinyuan, and said, "Cousin Pinyuan, Wishing you prosperity." ”
Although it was not yet the end of the year, Pinyuan knew that he had such a thing, so he took a purse with a silver ingot from his cuff, handed it to Shen Cheng, and said, "When did you come here, don't sit with me." ”
When the woman saw the silver, she was even happier, and hurriedly said, "It's only been a short time, and I haven't had time to see you yet." After speaking, he said to the young man, "Brother Cheng, thank you cousin, you kid can eat a few sugar cakes again." ”
Pin Yuan waved his hand and said, "Isn't it worth being so excited, isn't Cousin Cheng here for the New Year this year?" ”
"Or send it back for the New Year, I can't afford to toss it here, and I will sell my nephew, how many are you sending it to? Sit down and sip tea first. So saying, the woman took Pin Yuan and went to sit at the table and drink tea, and drove the young man who had taken the silver and was silly by the side to go upstairs.
Pin Yuan glanced at the deserted house, and didn't intend to make trouble for the sixth aunt who was driven back to her parents' house at a young age, and hurriedly said, "There are still fourth and seventh uncles' families who need to go to the back, so I won't rest more at the sixth aunt's house, and I will bother another day." ”
Hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, stood there, and said a little embarrassedly, "Since this is the case, then I will not keep you anymore, and I must come to the sixth aunt's house to sit another day, the sixth aunt's life is really difficult." ”
It was another grievance, and he didn't stay long, so he asked the guy to put the New Year's goods he brought over on the table, saluted, and took people away.
On the way, a guy came forward and said to Pinyuan, "Young master, didn't the master let us go back directly?" Does this still go to the house of the fourth and seventh masters? ”
This person who has no eyesight to see, and he doesn't pay attention to him, he still walks home, and when he is about to get home, he sees Lin Liang directing his men to carry some tables, chairs and stools to the house.
Wasn't this all done by Steward Xiao before, and Pinyuan was not a person who realized it later, knowing that Lin Liang had completely squeezed Siming out of the game, he set his sights on Steward Xiao, and if he didn't squeeze out other available people, he wouldn't give up.
"Young Master, you're back." Seeing that Pinyuan came back, Lin Liang immediately came over to continue.
Snorted, didn't look at this person, and walked into the courtyard, leaving only Lin Liang and the young man who followed Pinyuan just now looking at each other.
When he saw that Pinyuan had completely walked away, Lin Liang made a look, beckoned the young man over, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Did you say something over there?" ”
"No, I gave so many things and wrapped silver, and I didn't even drink tea. Although the young master was not angry, I was also angry when I looked at it. The young man replied.
"What did you encounter on the way?" Lin Liang didn't care if he was angry or not, and asked again.
The young man was puzzled, and hurriedly said, "The journey was smooth, and I didn't meet anyone." ”
This made Lin Liang wonder, the relationship between the previous children was still good, although he didn't take care of himself very well, but he didn't show his face to himself, what happened today, where did he offend this little young master again.
Lin Liang paced back and forth in the side room, and asked the young man to tell him about today's events again, and without asking why, he took another spit, "Forget it, one day he will know who he can trust in this family." ”
Lin Liang kicked the young man, and then asked him to continue to go to Pinyuan on an errand. In less than a cup of tea, this young man hurriedly ran back and stammered, "Brother Liang, the young master let you go." ”
At this time, he called himself over, Lin Liang had a pimple in his heart, sank his face, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The young man panicked and whispered, "The young master asked me to find something, but I didn't find it, so he got angry and said who is in charge of this family, let me call you over." ”
Sure enough, it's not a good thing, and when he came back just now, he should have thought that his hand was stretched too long, Lin Liang glanced at this useless young man, and asked him to walk in front, go to apologize first, and then he followed.
Lin Liang didn't know if he had endured all the dissatisfaction of the young master, the young master, who had always been kind to others, had many things that he was not used to, and he rarely even had a smiling face.
Looking from the yard to the distant house, only a pair of feet in boots could be seen outside, as the recliner swayed back and forth, Lin Liang swallowed his saliva, cheered himself up, lowered his head, and went to the room.
"Young Master, is there anything you want me to do?" Knowingly asked, Lin Liang lowered his head, not daring to look at Pinyuan's face.
Silence, Pinyuan didn't raise his eyes to look at this person, dealing with this kind of person who is used to crawling outside, silence is enough for him to understand his anger, and the later request is justified.
But this person was even more panicked than Pin Yuan expected, seeing that Pin Yuan didn't even lose his temper, he suddenly had no idea, so he had to be in a hurry on the side, and in the cold winter wax moon, cold sweat broke out in the palms of his hands.
In the end, Lin Liangxian, who was a few years older, couldn't hold his breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll help the young master find someone today, and I'll let him come over before tomorrow morning, and I will only take care of the young master's daily life." ”
Pin Yuan thought that he would have to deal with him for a while, but he didn't expect him to say it first, and also made some concessions, and said to Lin Liang, "I don't care what you want to do." But don't touch the people around me, or I'll see if this father is my father or your master. ”
"Young Master..." Lin Liang was a little embarrassed, and said again, "I know, let them all withdraw tomorrow, or the original group of people will be sent by the young master." ”
Pin Yuan hesitated, waved his hand, and then said, "Just let him come back alone, there is no need to change anything else, it will make people panic." ”
In the end, there was still some effect, Lin Liang was a little happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he responded indiscriminately, retreated, and went straight to Chashan.
In the depths of the workshop, in front of a small stove, I finally saw Xiao Qiang, who I hadn't seen for a long time, roasting the fire with a comfortable face, and when I saw Lin Liang coming, I didn't move away.
"Tomorrow you will go back to your old place, and you won't have to guard the tea here." Lin Liang had wind and snow on his body, which made this originally warm house return to wind and snow.
Xiao Qiang got up and stretched, came over and patted Lin Liang's shoulder, a little disdainful, "I thought you could really take care of everything." ”
"That's not necessary, as long as I don't turn my elbow out, I'm much better than some. Don't think that if you grow up with the young master, you can gain his trust and eat this bowl of rice for a lifetime. The two had never worked together, but every time they met, they were very unfriendly, as if they had formed a long-term feud.
