When the shopkeeper heard Yan Nian's shout, he hurriedly trotted to the table, packed the remaining sauced beef on the plate, and carefully wrapped the rice cakes, tied them with delicate ropes, and sent them to Brother Huai's hands.

Brother Huai hurriedly said to the shopkeeper: "You calculate, how much money we have at this table." With that, Brother Huai took out a few pennies from Changshui's sleeve and put them on the table.

Yan Nian hurriedly took out the silver in his sleeve, and said to Brother Huai while pulling it out: "I invite you this time, it's hard enough for you to send me over, how can you break the bank." ”

Brother Huai hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yan Nian, "How can I let you pay the bill when a big man comes out to go down to the restaurant with you, you are embarrassing me." ”

The two of them were pushing me to pay the bill, and the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "Listen to me, someone has already paid for the meal at your table, so you two should pack up and leave with confidence." ”

The two people asked in unison in surprise, "Who paid for the money?" ”

"It's the tall and thin guest master, the one who gave you food." The shopkeeper said as he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

"Since someone has already paid, then let's stop here, let's go." Yan Nian glanced at Brother Huai, who was still in place, and then dragged a bag of glutinous rice out.

Brother Huai followed behind Yan Nian and said, "I always feel that this person has some intentions, why there is no intersection, and how can he be good to you like this." ”

"Well, you're right, stay away from him in the future, you go to the back and lead the horse out, we have to hurry back."

Yan Nian stood at the door of the store, still holding the rice bag in his hand and not letting go.

Brother Huai handed the food he had just packed in his hand to Yan Nian, "You take it, I'll lead the horse." ”

In this way, Brother Huai put all the glutinous rice and dumpling leaves he bought on the horse's back, and led the old horse back.

Yan Nian, who followed behind, was full of food and drink, and it would be a hot day again, and it would not be hot.

Brother Huai flew on the horse and hugged Yan Nian on the horse's back, "You sit firmly, my old horse is not stable when running." ”

Yan Nian got on the horse, and as when he came, he was carried by Brother Huai and sat on the horse and ran towards the village quickly.

When he got on the horse and ran, Yan Nian felt much cooler, but Yan Nian didn't know that Brother Huai in the back was very hot and hot.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Brother Huai flew off his horse and told Yan Nian, "You just sit on it, I'll lead the old horse forward for a while." ”

Yan Nian knew that Brother Huai was afraid that the villagers would see it and someone would chew his tongue again.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, then it's hard for you." ”

Soon, in the middle of the village, Brother Huai took a horse and walked to Yan Nian's house.

At this time, it was after lunch, and some of the bored people were used to enjoying the shade under the willow tree on the roadside, some were talking, and a few old men were playing chess in the shade of the tree rain or shine.

Hearing the old man arguing over the route taken by a chess piece, Yan Nian looked back and smirked.

At this time, I saw that the loudspeaker in the village, Xu Shi, was also sitting on the side of the road, watching Yan Nian sitting on the horse, Brother Huai leading the old horse, and starting to say something there, and the concubine Feng Shi next to him was also sneering there.

Yan Nian knew that these two people didn't hold back any good fart, so they simply didn't listen, and hurriedly walked towards home with the old horse.

When he came to the gate of the house, Brother Huai took his hand and hugged Yan Nian down, Yan Nian opened the door, and Brother Huai led the horse into the yard.

In the yard, the chicks who had grown wings saw this tall old horse coming to the house, and they were so frightened that they flew around. The ducklings croaked and walked to the back of the house in flocks.

The little milk dog barked around the old horse.

Yan Nian hurriedly shouted at the puppy, and handed the food packed back in his hand to Nuo Nuo, who had already come out, "Go back to the room and eat with my sister for a while." ”

Then he and Brother Huai unloaded half a bag of glutinous rice and zongzi leaves, "Brother Huai, I have worked hard for you today, you can go back to the room and sit down and take a break and drink saliva before coming back." ”

Yan Nian was very uneasy when he looked at Brother Huai's sweaty appearance, and hurriedly said to Brother Huai who was patting the dust.

Brother Huai hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I'll drink saliva and leave immediately." ”

In this way, Brother Huai tied the old horse in the yard and followed Yan Nian back to the room.

Back in the house, Yan Nian found some tea, put it in a bowl, boiled some boiling water and poured it into the bowl, so that a bowl of tea was ready, and it was brought to the kang table, "Brother Huai, let's drink some later." ”

Then he said to Nuo Nuo and Yanyan, who were looking at the two paper bags that were packed back and didn't dare to open them, "Mother will give you a hot meal, and this is sauce beef to eat for a while." ”

"By the way, there are also delicious rice cakes in here, you eat them first." After speaking, Yan Nian opened the paper bag and took out the rice cake and put it on the table.

The two babies looked at the rice cake and tilted their little heads, and Xiao Yanyan reached out and took a piece and sent it to her mouth.

Nuo Nuo said to his mother: "Sister and mother, let's eat, this is my mother's favorite food before." ”

Yan Nian's steps towards the stove stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at Nuo Nuo, thinking, this little guy also remembered that his mother liked to eat this, which showed that his judgment was right, and the original owner must have liked this very much.

Seeing Yan Nian like this, Brother Huai, who was sitting on the edge of the kang and blowing tea, looked up at the back of Yan Nian who walked out, I don't know why, I always felt that Yan Nian was really different from before.

At this moment, I heard someone shouting at the gate, "Is there anyone in the house?" ”

Yan Nian hurriedly ran out and saw Lu Xiaowei standing at the gate looking into the courtyard.

"Xiaowei is here, come in, it just so happens that Brother Huai is also here." Yan Nian looked at Xiao Xiao's slightly red face and said.

"Well, Sister Yan Nian, what are you busy with?" Xiao Wei asked as she walked to the door.

"I just came back from buying glutinous rice in the town, isn't it, the two children haven't eaten yet." Yan Nian said as he let Xiaowei into the house.

Entering the house, Yan Nian said: "Xiaowei, you sit, I'll go to the stove room to give the children a hot meal, and you and Brother Huai will talk." ”

After speaking, Yan Nian hurriedly walked to the stove room again.

Brother Huai saw Xiaowei coming, and hurriedly got up to give up his seat, "Sit down." ”

"Well, Brother Huai, are you going to town?"

Xiaowei didn't dare to look at Brother Huai's face, glanced sideways at Brother Huai, and lowered her head again.

"Well, Yan Nian went to buy glutinous rice, and today is not a big gathering, there are no vehicles in and out, so my mother asked me to send Yan Nian to the town, and then came back with rice, no, I just came back."

At this time, Yan Nian quickly scalded a little rice with boiling water, poured the sauced beef into the pot, put it on the plate, and served it.

The two Xiaobao sat on the kang and ate with relish.

Yan Nian saw that the tea in Brother Huai's bowl was almost drunk, and he was busy getting up and wanted to get some more, but Brother Huai got up busily, "Don't be busy, I'm going home, it's too late to go back, my mother should be worried." ”
