The two old men looked to be no more than sixty or seventy years old, but their movements were much slower than ordinary old men.

"You-guys, you can live in the west-house."

The old man pointed with his cane in the direction where the old woman stood.

As night fell, a bright moon rose high in the sky. The bright moonlight sprinkled in the silent courtyard, harmonious and quiet.

Hua San drove the carriage into the small courtyard, and the spring silkworm began to gather for dinner.

The kitchen was well equipped, and in a short time, the aroma of ham wafted out.

When you go out, it is inevitable to stay in the wild, and Hua Lan not only brought ham food, but also bedding for sleeping in the open.

Although the autumn night is cool, there is a different kind of freshness, Hua Lan let Hua San set up a table in the courtyard, and several people quietly admired the quiet peace around while eating.

The two old men had never eaten for lunch, and the aroma of ham was attractive, and they drilled into their nostrils vigorously, and it didn't take long to lead them out of the room.

"Your food is so good."

The old man's steps were not slow, and the pace of his speech was noticeably faster.

"Old uncle, my master said that when we leave tomorrow, leave a ham for the second elder, which is a thank you for taking us in tonight."

The spring silkworm hurriedly said Hua Lan's words loudly.

"Oh!"

The old couple glanced at each other, their eyes narrowed into a smile, and they began to get nervous in a few seconds.

"I can't do it, I can't help it!"

The old woman's hands were a little embarrassed, and the old man's crutches trembled: "We didn't leave you for your gratitude. The Tai'an Mountains are not very peaceful, and on this big night, there is only one village around. If we don't keep you, you're going to be in danger. ”

"Yes, yes! We're here for this, not for anything else. Childe must not leave anything behind, and the silver will not be made. Leave nothing behind. ”

The old woman spoke quickly, and her face was wrinkled in such a hurry.

However, there was a lot of joy in her heart, and there was no anxious look in her tone.

Hua Lan thought that the two old men were polite, and hurriedly said, "Old man, you are kind and kind people. You have kindly taken us in, and we are disturbed, and we should leave our hearts. Please also ask the second elder not to shirk. ”

Hua Lan noticed the salivating eyes of the two, and quietly Xiaochun Silkworm lost her eyes, and said to the second elder: "The road is rushing, and it is fate to be fortunate to meet the help of the second elder." If the second elder doesn't think our food is rough, why don't you sit down and eat with us? ”

The spring silkworm stood up and came over to support the old woman: "Old woman, you can taste my craftsmanship, the food I cook is delicious." ”

As soon as the spring silkworm boasted, the smile on Jin Se's face instantly lost half, "This product is really ashamed, this meal is also delicious?" ”

There was something subtle about her smile, half hidden by the silence of the night, and of course, no one noticed.

However, the old woman refused the invitation of the spring silkworm, she secretly swallowed her saliva, and suddenly glanced nervously at the courtyard gate of the small courtyard, and began to stammer: "I, I, we all, all, all, have eaten." It's a big night, the night is cold, you still have to eat quickly, rest early. ”

Seeing that the spring silkworm couldn't be persuaded to move, she didn't force it, and smiled sweetly, "Cheng, thank you, old woman." ”

She noticed that the expressions on the faces of the old woman and the old man were a little complicated, and she couldn't tell what kind of emotions they were, and she looked a little nervous, and said, "Don't worry, your second elder." We'll be full and rested soon, and we'll not make any noise to you two elders. ”

"No, it's not, that's not what it means."

The nervousness of the second elder came from external forces, and it didn't take a few seconds for the four of Hua Lan to deeply understand it.

"Open the door, open the door!"

The aroma of the ham was too strong, and the aroma wafted through the small courtyards of several villages, which immediately caused a lot of commotion.

The footsteps outside the courtyard gate were mixed, and several pairs of hands "banged" on the door panel, which shocked the two elders in the courtyard, "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

The rapid shouting and banging on the door made the old man's slowness obviously add speed, and the old man stumbled to the door, and before he could open the courtyard door, the courtyard door was kicked open by a few legs.

The courtyard door kicked open, and two men and two women poured in.

The two men were about thirty or forty years old, and their appearance was somewhat identical, with fierce expressions on their faces. Both of them looked at the four Hualan people who were surprised in the courtyard, and walked over with their necks stretched, and the muscles on their faces trembled: "Dad, you still said that there is no silver at home, what is this, do you still have silver to buy meat to entertain guests?" ”

As soon as the two men spoke, the two women behind them opened their throats: "That's it, dad, how can you lie to your son?" “

It was a slender woman who spoke like a willow, and she came out with a snow-white handkerchief. The guests in the courtyard were dressed richly, and she wanted to pretend to be a little elegant and elegant, and the handkerchief squeezed out a few tears: "The children are so sick that they don't know who is going to work, can you still have silver to entertain the guests?" Are you really old and confused, Tong'er is your own grandson? ”

"Yes, Dad? What do you keep your money for? Tong'er is gone, our Li family is gone, why do you still keep the silver? ”

A man was obviously two years older, and his face was ugly and complained.

"Don't say anything, two sentences!"

The old man was a man of good face, and the guests of the house were eating, and it was obvious that he had lost his face. Angry, he poked his cane into the ground, "How can your mother and I have any silver?" There was nothing at all, and these were guests who were staying at home. The things are all brought by the guests themselves, have you made enough trouble, get out quickly! ”

The old man was angry, and the old woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, hiding behind the old man and kept trembling: "Boss, what your father said is the truth, there is really no money." ”

"Mother, the conscience of heaven and earth. Who believes what you say? In the morning, Aunt Yu said that you found someone to come to the town to bring a big burden, what about the baggage, where is the baggage? ”

The second daughter-in-law is a rough character, and her face is full of pungent energy. She rolled up her sleeves, walked a few steps quickly and rushed to the kitchen, and within a few seconds, she saw the ham left by the spring silkworm in the kitchen, and she was so angry that she picked it up and asked the old man to theorize: "Old man, are you also a grandfather?" You're embarrassed to tell such a big lie. Our water splash is hungry every day, and I can't see any broth. When a guest comes, you are in such a delicious and delicious hospitality, which is too chilling, right? ”

The second daughter-in-law was talking, holding the ham and about to go inside and outside the courtyard, but the eldest daughter-in-law didn't do it.

How can this benefit be swallowed by the second family, her tears are still in her eyes, and she can't care about sensationalism at this time, so she hurriedly ran over and blocked the courtyard like a wind under her feet, and she was about to grab the ham in the hands of the eldest daughter-in-law. Grabbed it with his hand on the ham, and didn't forget to add skin and laugh without smiling: "The second family is right, our family hasn't seen meat for a long time, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the boy won't live long." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law is thin, and her two arms are not as thick as the second one. She couldn't reach out and grab the ham, where was the second daughter-in-law willing to let go, and with a wave of her fist, she knocked the eldest daughter-in-law to the ground, and was about to rush out of the yard after holding the ham.

"Iniquity, iniquity!"

The old man was so angry that he trembled all over, and stomped his feet vigorously, about to chase the second daughter-in-law.

But his two arms had already been held by his son, where could he catch up with the second daughter-in-law, he was so anxious that he straightened up, and the whole person fell backwards.

"Old uncle!"

The two sons threw their father backwards, instinctively stunned, and hurriedly went to help.

The old woman sat down on the ground in a hurry, wiped her tears and began to cry, "Old man, you can't leave me!" ”

The courtyard was in a state of chaos because of the unexpected arrival of a few guests from Hua Lan, and after a while, many villagers gathered outside the courtyard gate to watch the excitement.

Hua Lan glanced at Hua San, and Hua San quickly rushed to the gate of the courtyard and stretched out his hand to stop the second daughter-in-law who was about to go out.

The second daughter-in-law was so angry that her eyes were red: "Get out of the way, who are you, dare to take care of my family's affairs?" ”
