Originally, the people in the village were still worried about causing trouble to the king's steward, and the people who took the bus shrank and shrunk, which had already caused the children to cry and the daughter-in-law to have a cold face. But now with a "special car", it is much more convenient. So the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law happily turned over their dresses to find rouge, and dressed up in a fancy way. The Tao boys also pestered their grandparents to ask for a few copper coins, and the treasures were generally hidden in their arms, planning to go into the city to buy a long-awaited ice and nibble on two strings of sugar gourds.

In the past few days, Shanzi has regained the support of a group of small soldiers because he has regained his dress as a peasant boy and has been paid for meat buns in large pots. As usual, I went up and down the mountain and down the river every day, and I had a lot of fun.

Of course he didn't want to miss such a lively purchase in the city, and he begged his sister to let him go to play with him, but he was afraid that his sister would not agree. So, this kid played a little clever trick and pulled the peach blossom to intercede together.

Pucao has been busy with the increasingly productive mushrooms in the greenhouse these days, and he really can't take the two children into the city to play. But she couldn't bear to disappoint the child, so she asked the Dong family to have peach blossoms on the table, and asked Dongzi to take care of Shanzi.

The two children's wishes came true, and they almost lifted the roof of the house with joy, and ran to find their friends to show off.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sun had climbed to the top of the east mountain, the plough climbing procession arrived, and everyone sat down in a divided group of men and women, and set out together joyfully against the bitter north wind.

Most of the people in the village were empty for a while, and only the chickens and dogs occasionally barked lonely, which was really unprecedented and quiet. Fang Jie got up early to help Pucao busy in the greenhouse, and at noon, the two of them simply made two small dishes on the stove, and after eating and drinking, they snuggled up in a sweet place and enjoyed the world of the two.

When the sun set on the western hill and the night wind blew snow particles across the sky, the plough climbing team finally returned with a full load. The tranquility of the village was broken, chickens and dogs jumped, children screamed, adults laughed, and it was really lively and noisy.

Pucao took the two children home, and after hearing their interesting stories about entering the city, she drove them to wash their hands and eat dinner, and then went to Chuniel's house to see her booty.

The two of them are busy on weekdays, and although they live next to each other, it is rare to have a moment to sit down. At this time, I finally got together in one place, and I could say a basket of words even if I pulled up a piece of cotton cloth. Liu Housheng listened to it for a long time, and then reluctantly scratched his head and went to Fang's house to find Fang Jie to gossip.

This winter, Mrs. Li's family still sells raw bean sprouts into the city, and the business capital is small and the income is also rich. The Li family is not greedy, although they know that Nangou Village has built a greenhouse to grow vegetables, they have never revealed the intention of making a fortune together. Pu Cao was like a mirror in her heart, and naturally knew that the Li family didn't want her and Chun Nier to be difficult people in the village, so she was grateful and planned to send the New Year's goods as thick as possible.

Chun Nier is even more of a mother's family, and the two of them talked and laughed and listed the New Year's goods list, and there was everything they needed to eat and drink.

Of course, the same calculation also lingered in the hearts of the little daughters-in-law of every household in the village this night. Women are naturally partial to their mother's family, in previous years, the in-law's family was not rich, and it was a very decent gift to be able to take a box of dim sum and two taels of tea when she returned to the door on the second day of the Lunar New Year. But this year, I have money in my pocket, and my waist is hard, not to mention that my daughter-in-law and son-in-law also want to increase my face, and I will raise my head and stand up in my father-in-law's house.

In this way, within a few days of coming back from the New Year's goods purchase, the little daughters-in-law couldn't wait to go to their parents' house, inevitably taking a copy clearly, and Zhang Luo had to make a copy behind their backs, adding together was enough to make the mother's family happy to grin to the root of their ears.

When the father and mother were surprised by the joy and amazement, they naturally had to pull their daughters to interrogate them carefully at night. Although the little daughter-in-law was instructed by her mother-in-law, she still leaked some rumors in the face of her father. As a result, soon all the eight villages in ten miles knew the amazing news that Nangou Village had made a fortune.

When the families in Nangou Village, Delaba took turns to kill the pigs, those seven aunts and eight aunts, and even the second uncles and third aunts who had not seen each other for many years came to the door to eat the pig-killing vegetables.

Northerners take face very seriously, and it is easy not to do anything that hurts people's face. The addition is a guest when he comes to the door, not to mention that he is still related to his family, so seven or eight tables of tables were set up outside the courtyard of the main house, and the big fat slices were put into pots, and the bud wine was also moved one jar after another.

All the distant relatives were full of food and drink, and the good words of Chenglou were sent up, and the corners of the eyes and eyebrows of the owner were full of pride. Of course, everyone had to knock on the side and ask about the vegetable shed in the backyard, and they were looking forward to going in and taking a look, and secretly learning by the way. But the main family is not a fool, there is enough fat and spirits, but this "cornucopia" of wealth must not be taken out to show off.

The seven aunts and eight aunts tried their best to make the main family relax, and in anger, the guy who covered his face with the smell of alcohol took advantage of the toilet to go to the backyard. As a result, the main family had already taken precautions, and directly kicked people out with a cold face.

When the rest of the people saw it, although they secretly cursed the master's stinginess in their hearts, they didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. When these people braved the wind and snow to return to their villages, a new wave of rumors about the wealth of the families in Nangou Village spread even more violently.

There are those people who are exquisite, and after pondering for a few days, they came up with a way to save the country. I did everything possible to entrust my relatives and friends, and wanted to marry my daughter to Nangou Village or marry a daughter-in-law from Nangou Village. For a while, the matchmakers waved fragrant handkerchiefs and scurried around the villages, and finally they all gathered in Nangou Village.

But all the families whose children have not decided to marry are annoyed by these matchmakers, and then I don't know who said that they leaked their mouths or were forced to say nothing, and threw out such a sentence, "We are all sticking to what we have to take advantage of, I really plan to get rich, it is better to marry Pucao, the God of Wealth, Grandma Back!" ”

A sentence was like a heavy thunder in spring, which woke up many people who were about to move, so the matchmakers stopped for two more days to inquire about the details of Zhang's family, and then swarmed into Zhang's house.

And on this day, Pucao's family was also killing New Year's pigs. The Chen family in the west courtyard and the Liu family in the east courtyard naturally had to come to help. Everyone was busy talking and laughing all morning, and it was when they smelled the smell of flesh and bone in the big iron pot, when an old man who claimed to be the grandfather of the Zhang family came in, and as soon as he sat on the main seat of the hall, he called someone to kowtow.

Everyone saw that the old man's cotton clothes were shiny and shiny, and the cotton wool was flying, and his hair was even dirty with dreadlocks, but he was holding the elder shelf in such a big way, and they were all a little dazed for a while, and they all looked at Pu Cao, hoping that she would have an idea.

It's a pity that Pu Cao turned over the previous half-baked memories, and didn't find the slightest information about this grandfather, so he had to step forward and ask carefully. The old man was still very tough before, but then he saw Pu Cao glaring at him coldly, not to mention a large piece of meat and a bowl of wine, not even half a cup of tea. He had no choice but to say that he was related to the deceased old man of the Zhang family, as for what kind of relative, that is, the six generations in the family tree are all grandfathers.

Pu Cao almost laughed angrily when she heard it, the last six generations are still a grandfather, that is, more than eight generations. The rules passed down by the older generation, the same surname is not considered a family if it has a branch of five generations, and this old man, who is known as the eighth generation, might as well directly say that it is the same as the Zhang family five hundred years ago.

Needless to say, the old man was finally thrown out of the gate by Liu Housheng by the collar. The desire to drink wine and eat meat was shattered, and the old man almost rolled on the ground, sitting in front of the door with a handful of snot and tears, muttering, presumably suing the spirit of heaven who did not know which ancestor.

Shanzi and other naughty boys originally gathered around to watch the excitement, but in the end, I don't know if they were tired of listening to it, or if they really felt that the old man was pitiful, and they actually gave him one of the "meat buns and food" they had received yesterday.

The old man's eyes rolled, as if he wanted to think about some more benefits, but when he looked up, Liu Housheng strode out again, quickly patted the snowflakes on his buttocks, and ran away with seven or eight meat buns.

Everyone set up a wine table, and while talking about many interesting things in the village today, they ate meat and drank soup while it was hot, and the sound of laughter almost lifted the roof. When the children were most full, they refused to sit honestly, running and playing all over the ground with a bone in their hands. Fat Dun'er followed Shanzi to eat and drink this year, and his small body became more and more round and strong, and he ran around like a small ball of meat, which made all the women laugh happily.

After playing for a while, the children began to dislike the crampness of the house, so they opened the door and prepared to go to the yard for a snowball fight. But before he could take a step out of the door, he was squeezed back by a group of matchmakers dressed in fancy clothes.

Everyone watched these "old cupids" running around the village all day long, and it was inevitable that they would be familiar with each other, and when they suddenly came to the door today, they were so shocked that they almost dropped the chopsticks in their hands. The women in the inner room heard the sudden silence outside, and after looking at it curiously, they also asked in surprise, "How... Is there a matchmaker coming? ”

The table was full of people who were sitting in the kang and coaxing the peach blossoms to eat, but when they heard this, their faces immediately turned pale. Now that the Zhang family has four members, Pucao has been appointed to be the mother of the Fang family, Peach Blossom and Shanzi are still too young, and only Zhang Gui is the most suitable to say goodbye. He was originally a handsome young man, and if he studied in the future, he would be an official master, which woman didn't want to be an official wife...

The more I thought about it, the more desperate I became, and tears were faintly about to fall in my eyes. But before her tears could condense into beads, the matchmakers in the hall were already laughing at the top of their voices, "Yo, everyone is drinking, it's a little bad time for us to come." But as the old saying goes, happy events are not afraid of many, and we are reporting good news today! I don't know which one is the Pucao lady, let's take a look at the appearance of the God of Wealth's grandmother, if you can get some wealth, you will inevitably make a fortune! ”

The matchmaker who spoke had a big face, and her original dark complexion was two catties of rice noodles, and her mouth was smeared with the most red rouge. But when she spoke, she still liked to wave the handkerchief in her hand, and for a while, the rice noodles flew everywhere, splattering spittle, and everyone shivered in unison.
