The dock has been busy, and the four concubines of the Huang family rushed back and started to be busy cooking. Huang Laosi's house is a ready-made shop, the stove room, tables and chairs are all new, and the dishes can be brought over to make it.

Huang Dou was also very excited, she kept running back and forth, finding a change of clothes for her brother, preparing food for him, and going to make his bed and clean up the room.

It's dark, but the Huanggang wharf is brightly lit, there is no need to go to Nanshan wharf to find workers, the old and young masters of Huangjiawan are ready-made labor, most of them have worked at the wharf, there is no need to train at all, as long as there is the assistance of the steward, you know what to do, where to put the goods.

The goods entered the warehouse in an orderly manner, and Zhao Dachuan also came back from Nanshan Wharf early, and a person flexibly shuttled through various warehouses, what kind of goods entered what warehouse, how to place them, and he was so busy that he was sweating profusely.

When the eldest brother came back, his heart seemed to finally have something to rely on.

Huang Laohan stood under the light of the warehouse, as if he had a fire in his heart, and no matter how much Huang Dou persuaded him, he refused to go back. The boat came, and he finally saw the big ship in his lifetime and entered the dock of the Huang family.

The helpless Huang Dou had no choice but to go back and move the stool, put it next to the warehouse, and told Huang Laohan to rest his feet and sit down when he was tired.

She also wanted to accompany her grandfather, but the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law both went to the fourth uncle's house to help, seven big boats docked, so many workers had to eat, and Huang Dou had to take care of her nephew.

Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao and Sibao were all driven to the sand pile at home like soybeans and ducks, and only the bottom of Sibao's buttocks was wrapped in soybeans and the mat was like diapers.

Because it is only for temporary use, it is very simple, it is a tarp with a soft diaper inside, and the four corners are tied with straps, and they are tied up in twos and twos, just to prevent the sand from getting from the exposed open crotch pants to the butt when playing.

It's getting dark, first wash the hands and faces of the four little ones, watch one person eat a few dumplings, Sibao is almost full after eating one and a half, hugging the third aunt and chirping to sleep.

Picking up the four treasures, Soybean took the two treasures to the second uncle's house, and the big treasure and the three treasures followed. The third aunt is the most fierce, she said that if she follows them, she will follow, and she will not dare to pull down a step, otherwise she will be scolded.

Huang Deming's daughter-in-law took over the four treasures from her sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law chatted while fetching water, and bathed the four treasures first. Sibao, who was sleeping vaguely, put it into the water and immediately cried like a pig.

When he turned his head, he saw the third aunt who was looking at him coldly, and he howled in fright and held back. I held it so fast that I hiccuped, one after another, and the poor snot and tears were burped.

Seeing that he was frightened, Huang Dou was embarrassed again, and patted him on the back while promised: "Sibao is really good, tomorrow the third aunt will make you pastries to eat, and put a lot of sugar." ”

Poor Sibao wanted to eat a lot of sugar pastries and wanted to cry, so he just let Xu Caixia wash it up and throw it on the Xia Liang bed in the yard.

The other three treasures were very happy to hear their aunt say that they made a lot of sugary pastries, and they stood behind the third aunt and waited, whether the third aunt would make it for us, I really wanted to know, but I didn't dare to ask.

Sibao threw it on the bed and turned over twice, and fell asleep with his fingers in his mouth, slept with his mouth watering, probably thinking about the multi-sugar pastries promised by the third aunt.

Huang's second sister-in-law, Xu Caixia, grabbed the two treasures and came to take a bath, and Huang Dou took the three treasures to the uncle's house.

"Third aunt, will you make a multi-sugar pastry for Sanbao tomorrow?" Sanbao's soft little hand grabbed Soybean's middle finger, and Soybean felt that his heart was about to melt.

"Well, Sanbao is obedient, and the third aunt will make you pastries with a lot of sugar." Soybean shook his small hand holding his middle finger.

"Sanbao is obedient, the eldest brother is obedient, the second brother is obedient, Sibao is also obedient, and the third aunt is okay with us."

"Okay, do both."

Dabao, who was holding the soybeans on one side and the other hand, straightened his chest happily. He is the eldest brother, and the grandfather said that the eldest brother should be a role model for his younger brothers and sisters, so he will not eat pastries, but the third aunt said that because they are obedient, they do everything, and they are so happy.

When Huang Delei entered the house, it was already dark, and when he stepped into the courtyard gate, the hall and stove were all lit up. My mother was still preparing dinner for the boatmen at my fourth uncle's house, my father was helping at the docks, and my younger brothers and sisters were waiting for him.

Stepping into the yard with one foot, he suddenly burst into tears, how many wind and rain dangers have come over, but this warm courtyard has made him feel scared of his hometown.

"Brother, hurry up, the dumplings are ready, Hachi went to the dock to see a few times, but we have calculated the time for you to get home." You see, take a bite first or wash it first? Huang Dou stuck his head out of the stove room and looked at Huang Delei at the gate of the courtyard.

"I'll take a shower first, and I'm sweating." Huang Delei raised his feet and stepped in, this home, he seems to have never left.

Huang Delei took a bath in the house, and Huang Deyi moved a small bench to guard the door. He doesn't remember much about his eldest brother, he only knows that when his eldest brother returns, the whole family is very happy.

Well, everyone is happy and he is happy.

The gentleman said, "Brother and brother are respectful."

Zhao Dashan's house, Zhao Dashan is also taking a bath, and his family makes noodles at night. Zhao Damiang's best hand-rolled noodles, eggs and noodles, very strong, sixteen-year-old Zhao Dashan can eat three bowls in one meal, but at that time, he only dared to eat one bowl every time he ate noodles.

Tonight, Aunt Zhao is ready to let her son eat openly, and now that she has food, she is not afraid that her son will eat too much, but she is afraid that her son will eat less.

Fried a few poached eggs, and put two at the bottom of the bowl for my son. Shredded pork, fried green onions, put some shredded green peppers, fry a large plate, put it on the noodles and mix it, it will be fragrant when you look at it.

Zhao Dachuan came back later than Zhao Dashan, and when he entered the door, Zhao Dashan was already sitting at the table and sucking noodles.

When I was a child, once Zhao Dashan ate noodles too loudly, and was beaten with chopsticks by Zhao Dashan, and then when he was hungry, Zhao Dashan had no sound when he ate noodles. Today, Zhao Dashan is eating noodles again, and Aunt Zhao looks at her son with happy eyes, seeing how strong my son is, eating noodles is so loud.

Four teenagers went out together, four men came back together, Zhao Dashan changed the most. He is also black and strong, but his eyes give people a sense of sharpness of a long sword in the sheath.

"Big brother, didn't you say that you would only go out for one to two years? How did I go away for five years, although I occasionally carried letters, but my mother was worried and lost sleep all night. "Zhao Dachuan has been managing the warehouse for the Qian family at Nanshan Wharf, and the whole person is like a scholar, white and literate.

"I was going to come back, but the owner of the ship met a friend who had gone to sea with him before, and their ship was going to go to the West Ocean, and the owner was moved, and he left for more than three years after one trip." Zhao Dashan had already eaten three bowls, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and watched his younger brother eat.

Remembering that he had brought a gift to his family, he hurriedly brought out the box he brought back.

The box opened, and he took out a jewelry box first: "This is for my mother." Aunt Zhao hurriedly took it: "What do you buy for me, ...... you spend it?"

Aunt Zhao's words suddenly broke in her throat as the box opened: "This...... This ......"

Zhao Xiaoyu stretched out his head: "What?" ”

A box full of jewelry, gold and silver, glowed brightly in the light.

"Xiaoyu, yours." Saying that, Zhao Dashan also handed Zhao Xiaoyu a box.

Zhao Xiaoyu's hands trembled with excitement, if she also had a box of gold and silver jewelry like her mother, she would be frightened.

The box opened, and the same box of jewelry, gold and silver, sparkled in the light.

Zhao Xiaoyu hurriedly put the box on the table, she didn't dare to hold it, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold it and tremble.

The jewelry boxes of the two of them look very full, in fact, there are only a few pieces, most of them are silver jewelry, but the styles are very delicate and good-looking, which should be carefully selected by Zhao Dashan in various places.

"Okawa, yours." Zhao Dashan also handed Zhao Dachuan a box. Zhao Dachuan looked at the eldest brother, and then at the mother and little sister who were already stunned, and he didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.

"Hurry up and take it, this is earned by my brother." Saying that, Zhao Dashan stuffed the box in his hand into Zhao Dachuan's hand.

Zhao Dachuan opened the box with shaking hands, and there were only a few pieces of paper in the box!

Zhao Dachuan picked up a few pieces of paper from the box, which were silver tickets, one hundred taels each, and a full five.

"You're already old, this is for your brother to start a family for yourself, I've been out for five years and I've had good luck, and I earned money except for the gifts I bought for my mother and sister, and the rest of us brothers are half of each." Saying that, Zhao Dashan patted Zhao Dachuan on the shoulder.

"Big brother, I can't ask for this, this is what you got in exchange for your life." Saying that, Zhao Dachuan pushed the box to Zhao Dashan.

"Take it, when I come back from the sea this time, I have agreed with the Huang family's uncles and nephews that I am not going to go again. We are ready to buy a boat together and do it ourselves, and they also promise to count you as a share, this one for you, and count your capital. ”

After speaking, Zhao Dashan thought for a while: "However, if you don't want to participate in shares, you can do something else." You can buy a house or a shop, maybe my brother will rely on you one day. ”

"Big brother, I'll follow you, and I'll do what you say." Zhao Dachuan pursed his lips and looked at his eldest brother firmly.

"Well, okay, you put things away, I'll go to Huang's house to have a look, a few of us said that we would come back and ask Huang Dou, she has a lot of ghost ideas, see if she has any better ideas and suggestions." As he spoke, Zhao Dashan picked up an identical box and stood up.

"I brought some gifts for Soybeans, if it wasn't for the dagger she gave me, maybe we wouldn't be able to come back this time, this favor has to be returned."

"Dashan, are you alright? What danger have you encountered, you have time to talk to your mother. When Aunt Zhao heard that Zhao Dashan almost couldn't come back, her heart was flustered.

Although the son stood in front of him, but he didn't know if he was injured, Aunt Zhao stretched out her hand, wanting to lift her son's shirt to take a look, and remembered that her son was older, and he was no longer the baby who was waiting to be fed in her arms before!

"Mother, it's okay, it's all over, I have time to tell you, you see I'm not standing in front of you now." Saying that, Zhao Dashan picked up the box and left: "You guys rest first, I'll come back after talking with the Huang family's uncle and nephew, don't wait for me." ”

Watching Zhao Dashan walk out of the house, the mother and son sitting at the table were a little silent facing the box in front of them.
