Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Few Joys and a Few Sorrows
Chunni heard her say so surely, and she was curious and asked. Pu Cao grabbed a handful of snow, threw it at her tightly, and said with a smile, "The solution is very simple, that is... The Heavenly Maiden scatters flowers! ”
Chunni turned her head to avoid the snow ball, but she was still full of greetings, and she didn't guess at all. She caught up and wanted to ask again, but Pu Cao refused to say more, provoking her to catch the snow ball and beat her over. The two of them are like children, you go back and forth and laugh in snowball fights, and in less than a moment they are covered with snow foam.
After enough laughter, he ran into the greenhouse, the heat rushed to his face, and the two of them sneezed a few big sneezes together, and the frightened peach blossom and Shanzi hurriedly jumped to the side.
Liu Housheng was worried about the front yard for a while, and he was so anxious that he couldn't fly to see it, so he finally looked forward to Pucao and Chunni coming over, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his daughter-in-law to ask a few words.
Pucao didn't bother them, he carried a basket casually, smiled and took the two children around to pick vegetables.
Liu Housheng couldn't help but want to go back to join in the fun when he heard the banquet in the front yard, but Chunni was worried that someone would come to the greenhouse to make trouble, leaving only two children to guard it, and refused to let him go, which made Liu Housheng rub his big hands and laugh pitifully.
Pu Cao turned his head and guessed the reason, so he took the initiative to speak, "Brother Liu, your brother is young, and I'm afraid I can't take care of it at the banquet." Let Peach Blossom and Shanzi watch it first, and you go back to the front yard to help greet the guests. ”
"Hey, yes, yes." As soon as Liu Housheng heard the serious owner's words, he was immediately so happy that his eyebrows were about to fly, and he rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue at his daughter-in-law while answering loudly, and then ran away on one leg.
It was the first time for Chunni to see her man so childish, and she was stunned for a while before she reacted, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. Pu Cao also felt funny, so he found a piece of linoleum to cover the basket, and said, "You still say that you have a son Mu Ne on weekdays, I see, he is definitely too oppressed by you, the landlord and old wealth." ”
"You are the landlord and the old wealth!" Chunni was so disgusted that she pinched the grass, and when she turned her head, she saw that the two children were wrinkling their little faces, obviously wanting to go back and have a good time, so she smiled, "Otherwise, I'll stay in the greenhouse and let Peach Blossom and Shanzi go back to play for a while." ”
When Shanzi and Peach Blossom heard this, they immediately smiled, stepped forward and hugged Chunni's arm left and right, and the sweet words in their small mouths came out one after another, "Sister Nizi is the best, Sister Nizi loves us the most." ”
"Let's go back together, no one will be watching here for a while, and it won't go wrong. It's good to come early after dinner. ”
Pu Cao remembered that Peach Blossom had been spanked last time, and felt that it was not safe to leave the two children alone, so she started to fill the two stoves with firewood, and went around twice to find a thick wooden stick to use as a latch outside the door, and then the two children ran back to the front yard together.
On this day, the northwest wind seemed to also feel the happiness and joy of the Zhang family, changing from the fierce and fierce in the past to become much gentler, occasionally naughtily rolling up the thick snow on the branches and rushing into the Zhang family's yard, and with the aroma of food all over the body turned back onto the road.
Not far away, a family of three squatting on the side of the road, each twitching their noses and salivating. The dog leftover touched his purring belly and muttered quietly, "Your brother's dog thing has eyes on the top of his head now, and you fell on his face like that just now, so he won't come out and look for us to go back to the feast." ”
Aunt Zhang also moved her numb feet and complained, "It's all to blame for the shopkeeper, and she also said that she would give us a lot of wealth to our family." As a result, he patted his ass and left, causing our family to almost be kicked out of the village. If I see him again, I'll throw two basins of footwater on him!" ”
Zhang Er tried his best to tilt his head and try to draw more wine from the cold air, but the north wind was erratic and scattered, and it just refused to pass through his nose. He was so angry that he spat on the ground, pointed to the courtyard of the Zhang family and scolded, "Okay, you white-eyed wolves look down on me, don't you?" You wait for me, and keep it when you regret it! ”
Gou Yu'er stood up, rolled his eyes and said, "Daddy, you guys go home first." I went to the next village to see if there was any way to make a fortune. If you can really make money, you will definitely let your father and mother wear gold and silver and silk in the future! ”
Second Aunt Zhang heard that her son was so ambitious, and immediately turned her smile and tightened her padded jacket for her son, and instructed, "Then you can go, but you have to come back early, don't fall into the snow pit and freeze." ”
The dog seemed to be a little impatient, answered two sentences randomly, and quickly disappeared. Aunt Zhang Erjiao was still looking around with her neck stretched, but she was pulled hard by Zhang Er, and said angrily, "Hurry up and go, what else are you looking at?" What virtues do you have of your own son, you don't know? said that he was looking for a way to make a fortune, but he may have gone to touch Pai Gow again. ”
Second Aunt Zhang couldn't hear people say that her son was not good, so she opened her mouth and retorted, "My son is a capable person, and he is idle on weekdays, because he has not encountered a good path." Besides, he doesn't have a penny in his pocket, so how can he have the capital to play Pai Gow. ”
Zhang Er snorted coldly, turned his head and just took two steps, but suddenly jumped up again, and scolded loudly, "This little rabbit cub, he must have gotten a benefit from Shopkeeper Sun just now, and I'm afraid he will use it as a gambling book at this time!" ”
Second Aunt Zhang's mind turned, and she also felt that there was something wrong with her son's expression just now. Thinking about the silver money in his hand again, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh, "How much silver did the shopkeeper give him?" This loser boy, if he doesn't hand it over to us, he actually wants to gamble again, what can I do? ”
"What can I do! Hurry up and chase me! Damn boy, see if I don't discount his legs! "Second Uncle Zhang was like someone had his heart and liver plucked, the green tendons on his neck were beating in pain, and he rushed into the snow with his wife...
On the same snowy road, Shopkeeper Sun and his entourage are also struggling to move forward. He was so proud and confident when he came, but now they all turned into disappointment, and when he remembered that he couldn't explain when he went back, he only hoped that there was no end to this way back.
It's a pity that no matter how far the road is, when he finishes walking, seeing that the city gate is getting closer and closer, Yang Jiu turned his head and whispered to the car, "The shopkeeper is about to enter the city." ”
When the shopkeeper Sun heard this, the corners of his mouth tightened subconsciously, he picked the curtain and looked out at the familiar gatehouse in the distance, and scolded, "There are still two miles of land, why are you in a hurry!" Hurry slowly, and my bones will fall apart. ”
"Yes, yes, shopkeeper." Yang Jiu hurriedly responded respectfully, and when he saw the curtain of the car lowered, his face sank. Turning his head to give the fat man a look, he picked a bumpy place to walk, and the shopkeeper Sun in the car staggered, but he had no time to scold because he was worried about how to deal with the owner's temper for a while...
The carriage drove into the city gate, turned onto the street, and finally slowly entered the back door of the rich building. Almost at the same time, the doors of the other houses in the alley were quietly opened.
Three or five young men ran out one after another, waved to each other and said hello, and then they all came to the door of the Fugui Building, listening to the angry scolding, broken porcelain and cries that sounded from time to time in the door, they looked at each other, and their faces were full of gloating smiles.
The Baiyunju Restaurant not far away was full of people, and the young men were running upstairs and downstairs to pass the food, so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. In the large stove room, pots and pans also jingled, and bursts of tempting aromas wafted from time to time.
In the backyard account room, the shopkeeper Luo opened the bow left and right, with an account book in one hand and an abacus in the other, looking extremely busy. But the little steward who was guarding the side knew best, this old man had only finished checking half of the accounts in the morning, which was unprecedentedly slow.
The little steward quietly stepped forward to change a cup of warm tea for the old man, and whispered, "Shopkeeper, you have been busy for a long time, stop and rest." ”
The old shopkeeper glanced down at the chaotic abacus beads, sighed and waved his hand to a plate, and said with a wry smile, "I'm really an old man, when I first came to Cuiluan City with our son, I didn't see any battles, and I wasn't as restless as today." ”
The little steward glanced out of the half-open window twice, and said with a smile, "The so-called concern is chaos, not to mention you who are the shopkeeper, it is up and down our building, since I heard the rich building guy raise his neck and say cruel words in the morning, who is not worried about the news." ”
As soon as the old shopkeeper heard this, his subordinates' movements of serving tea slowed down, and he raised his head and instructed, "You go out for a walk in a while, but you can't let everyone be distracted by this matter, in case someone goes wrong and smashes the reputation in our building, I won't spare him." ”
"Don't worry, the little one has already been instructed." The little steward said with a smile while refilling the tea for the old shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, the little one has also learned some skills to recognize people by your side in the past few years." The little one looked at the sister-in-law of the Zhang family with very clear eyes, not like the kind of villain who forgets his righteousness. Maybe this matter, Fuguilou is afraid that it will be in vain. ”
The old shopkeeper thought about the first two times he dealt with Pucao, and also nodded and said, "I hope she is sensible." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone in the courtyard shouting and running closer. The old and young looked at each other, and hurriedly got up and ran out.
A young man in Tsing Yi was running into the courtyard, and when he saw them coming out, he shouted loudly, "Good news, shopkeeper." Fuguilou didn't succeed, I didn't buy vegetables! ”
This voice was like thunder on the ground, and it instantly shook the entire restaurant into jubilation. In the stove room, in the storeroom, and even in the front lobby, the young men ran out one after another, and they all came forward to ask questions with happy faces.
The young man's face was flushed with excitement, but fortunately, he still remembered to report to the shopkeeper first, so he rushed forward two steps and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper, just now when the little one saw the shopkeeper Sun's carriage coming back, he ran to listen to it secretly." The Qian family seemed to be in a big rage, smashing all the porcelain in the house, and I heard the shopkeeper Sun begging for mercy. ”
