Yan Nian sat in Chu Jun's brother-in-law's carriage and happily talked to his brother-in-law about today's affairs, "Brother-in-law, Yan Nian really gained a lot today, not only selling mushrooms, but also taking over the work of making rag dolls." ”

Chu Jun really admires this new neighbor, not only is he good-looking, but he also works hard to keep the family, and just moved out of the Liu family, he has lived this small family very decently, not only raising pigs, chickens and ducks, but also contracting the forest on the east mountain.

But on the contrary, her mother-in-law used to look okay, since Yan Nian came to live, she always felt that her mother-in-law was not as good as Yan Nian, and He Ling was still in charge of herself these days, and she had to go home and talk about Yan Nian's eyes when she looked at her.

Chu Jun was really annoyed.

Just now I saw Yan Nian walking in front with a bag of cotton on his back, and he had already seen that it was his neighbor Yan Nian in the lower yard, but he was afraid that he would pull Yan Nian home and be questioned by He Ling for a while, so he could only pretend not to see it.

However, Yan Nian had sharp eyes, and he had to stop and pull Yan Nian.

Listening to Yan Nian's words, Chu Jun said, "Why do you still make rag dolls?" What's going on? ”

Yan Nian said with a smile: "Didn't you listen to Sister He Ling tell you?" I'm making some rag dolls for a toy store in town, and Sister He Ling is going to make them with me. ”

Chu Jun hurriedly said, "This is good news!" ”

He also said: "Yan Nian, in fact, my brother-in-law admires you very much, you see that you are so capable, and you have to take your sister He Ling to earn money together, but it's a pity, He Wang doesn't have this blessing!" ”

Yan Nian heard Chu Jun mention congratulations again, so he said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, please don't mention this stubble in the future, we are really not suitable." ”

Chu Jun nodded, and said while driving the car and shouting at the horses: "Don't mention it, don't mention it." ”

Both men were silent.

Soon, when the carriage arrived at the intersection of the village, Chu Jun suddenly stopped the carriage, turned back to Yan Nian and said, "That, you better get out of the car and walk back by yourself, I won't send you home if I stop here for a while." ”

Yan Nian was stunned for a moment, then got out of the car, "Okay, then brother-in-law, I'll go back, you should go back early." ”

Chu Jun nodded and did not speak.

Yan Nian was confused and put on the cotton bag on his back again, and walked towards the village with a basket of things.

While walking, I thought about what kind of illness this Chu Jun was committing, why did he have to stop the meeting, did he really wait for someone?

Regardless of him, after all, people have let him take the car for so long, and he can still insist on walking back with this little distance.

Yan Nian wiped his sweat while walking, and returned to the gate of the courtyard with a stop.

He Ling was standing at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw Yan Nian coming back with a big bag and a small bag, she hurriedly ran over and dragged it off Yan Nian's back, "Oops! I said Yan Nian, what did you say? See if you're hot like this? Let's get inside. ”

Yan Nian thanked and opened the door, "This cotton is so hot, it doesn't sink but it doesn't sink, it's really torturous!" ”

Entering the yard, Carpenter Ni was still there, and when he saw the big package in He Ling's hand, he hurriedly stepped forward to help carry him to the house, "This kid, what is this going to do?" How do you buy so much cotton? Carpenter Ni asked as he put cotton on the kang.

Yan Nian was so thirsty that he hurriedly ran to the side of the water tank when he entered the house, picked up the water scoop and took a big scoop of water, raised his neck and drank half a scoop of water, stood next to the water tank and burped a few times and raised his legs into the house.

Hearing Carpenter Ni ask himself, he smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm making some rag dolls for other people's families, and I need cotton." ”

Carpenter Ni shook his head and went out to work again, and said as he walked: "Don't get tired, your body is important at a young age." ”

Yan Nian looked at Sister He Ling sitting on the edge of the kang and smiled and said, "I saw Chu Jun's brother-in-law on the road, which made me very happy, sat at the head of the village, and my brother-in-law said to wait for someone to let me come back first, and I came back with cotton on my back." ”

He Ling's eyes were still smiling just now, and when she heard Yan Nian say that she came back in Chu Jun's car, she stopped smiling at that time, and asked Yan Nian in a low voice, "Who is he waiting for?" ”

"How do I know? It's not going to be back in a while. Let's not talk about him, Sister He Ling, look at me this time I took on the job again, I plan to let you do three of each sample first, and you are the same as I used to, practice first and see if you can do it. If you can do it this time, then next time I will take more work, half of us, and each of us can earn at least four copper plates. ”

When He Ling heard Yan Nian say this, she also forgot who she was waiting for, and said excitedly: "Okay, then I'll try it first, you have to teach me how to do it!" ”

Yan Nian nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you earn this money, and strive to let your Xiaoqiang go to private school as soon as possible." ”

When He Ling heard Yan Nian say this, the tears swirled in her eyes, and she almost didn't fall, and hurriedly turned her back to prevent Yan Nian from seeing it.

Yan Nian had already seen it, and hurriedly comforted: "Sister He Ling, in fact, if you want to say that life is difficult, I am much more difficult than you, you and brother-in-law are busy, but what about me, only myself, and I am still two Xiaobao, you only have one Xiaoqiang." As long as you work hard, all difficulties will be solved. ”

"Yan Nian, you don't know, you are smart and capable, you haven't been separated for a long time, your little life has been going on, but my family is still the same after all these years. If your brother-in-law doesn't say it, I know what he thinks, I'm not as smart as you, and I really can't compare to you. ”

When Yan Nian heard He Ling say this, she shook her head and hurriedly said, "Sister, don't deny yourself, everyone has their own strengths, do it well." ”

At this time, Nuo Nuo led his sister back from the back of the room, saw his mother coming back, looked at the big cotton bag on the kang happily, and looked at his mother again: "Mother, there are so many things, how did you come back?" ”

Hearing Nuo Nuo's question, He Ling remembered Chu Jun who had just spoken, and hurriedly got up and said, "Yan Nian, I'll go back first, and I'll come over to get my few rag doll materials after dinner, and you can teach me well!" ”

Yan Nian nodded: "Okay, then you can go back and get busy." ”

He Ling walked towards the gate, thinking as she walked, wondering where Chu Jun was now, and whether she should go to the village to take a look.

Yan Nian saw the two children enter the house, and hurriedly took out the newly bought pastry box from the basket, and took out the walnut cake from it to Nuo Nuo and Yanyan.

Xiao Nuo Nuo was very sensible, watched his mother give him a snack, took it, and broke half of it to his sister, "Give it to your sister, is there any snack from yesterday?" ”

Xiao Yanyan smiled and took the pastry from her brother, "Yes, but it's not like this." ”

Nuo Nuo broke the piece in his hand and gave it to his mother, "Mother has worked hard, eat some." ”

Yan Nian looked at his son, and the hard work along the way suddenly came to naught, and the tears that followed were forcibly choked back.

Before noon, Carpenter Ni finished installing the back window, and reinforced a few wooden strips from the inside of the window, this time, the window could only be opened for ventilation, and no one could enter outside.
