On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, Zhou Xiaoshu returned. I haven't seen him for more than two months, and Liuli feels that he has grown taller and more mature.

"Brother!" Xiaocao didn't care about others, and rushed into Zhou Xiaoshu's arms.

Zhou Xiaoshu also opened his arms and hugged the whole girl: "The grass has also grown taller." ”

Zhou Xiaocao really looked like a doll less than ten years old at the moment, throwing herself into her brother's arms, screaming, I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

Zhou Xiaoshu greeted them again: "Erniang, Amber, Sister Coral." ”

"It's back," Ruri was also happy, "Come into the house, it's cold outside." ”

Several people entered the house together, and Zhou Xiaoshu couldn't wait to start talking about his experience in the past two months.

"The opening of the first foot shop was also full of twists and turns, but fortunately, Uncle Fu was a local and had a wide range of people, and Erniang gave him enough silver, which was successfully built. After the foot shop in Chengyuan County officially opened, I followed the sale for two days, and then went to Zhengwu County. Zhou Xiaoshu talked eloquently, I don't know if he had been alone outside for more than two months, and Zhou Xiaoshu became a lot better at talking.

"The last place I went to Qinggui County, where the people are really strong, if it weren't for Uncle Duan's deep-rooted roots in the local area, and there is a big family of uncles and brothers, it's really a little uncertain." Zhou Xiaoshu recalled the experience at that time and sighed.

"But in trouble?" Liuli said with concern, every time Zhou Xiaoshu sent back a message, he said that everything was going well, but Liuli didn't expect him to report good news and not bad news.

"It's not a matter of trouble," Zhou Xiaoshu said, "It's just that the place is far away from us, and the accent of the speech is very different, when I first arrived, except for Uncle Duan, I couldn't understand the rest of the people at all, and once I almost got into a fight with a local timber merchant, but fortunately, there was no danger and it was successfully completed." ”

Liuli also exhaled, saying that it was lucky.

"By the way, that's the rest of the money." Zhou Xiaoshu took out an old and dirty purse, the embroidery thread on it could no longer see the original color, and there were some scattered silver inside: "There are still these left." ”

"And this, every expense is clearly remembered." As he spoke, he pulled out another account book.

Liuli didn't look at the silver, but opened the account book and took a look, it should be Zhou Xiaoshu's record, when he was in Ding Ji Restaurant, he learned to keep accounts with Mr. Bookkeeper when he was fine, and now he can barely keep some simple accounts, just a handwriting, which is really unsightly.

Liuli took two breaths of cool air: "Xiaoshu, I've seen the New Year's Day, you can also practice calligraphy with us." ”

Zhou Xiaoshu scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Liuli pushed the purse back again: "You take these, and go to the town tomorrow to buy a few new clothes, Xiaocao has made a body for you, but I see that you have grown taller, and I am afraid that you will not be able to wear them." ”

There are less than ten taels of silver left, Zhou Xiaoshu didn't refuse, he took it generously, in the past few months, the silver spent from his hands has been dozens of taels and dozens of taels, and now this bit of broken silver, I don't feel that there is anything.

"Before I went home, I also went around Chengyuan County to take a look at our foot shop," Zhou Xiaoshu said.

"How?" Liuli asked hurriedly.

"The business is booming, and the stew is also famous, before leaving, Uncle Fu repeatedly explained to me, asking me to go back early after the New Year, and bring him marinade seasoning."

"Why don't you say it after fifteen, you've been working really hard these days, you should have a good rest." Ruri smiled.

In order to catch the wind for Zhou Xiaoshu, in the big wax moon, they specially went into the city and went to eat Feihongju.

picked out big fish and big meat and ordered a table, Zhou Xiaoshu was really hard, and devoured it happily.

When he came back, Zhou Xiaoshu first returned to his own home, Xiaocao still followed Liuli back to the Song family, and now Xiaocao has no nostalgia for the original family, but he is reluctant to brother, until Zhou Xiaoshu promised that on the day of the New Year, he ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with them, and Xiaocao was happy again.

When she arrived at the gate of the Song family, Liuli saw a pretty figure waiting outside.

"Sister Hongxiang? Why are you here on this cold day? Liuli was surprised, seeing that Hongxiang's nose was frozen red, and she didn't know how long she had been waiting outside: "Come into the house, but don't get frosty." ”

Liuli pulled Hongxiang into the house, and told the coral to cook some ginger syrup to ward off the cold, and Xiaocao also went to get busy.

"Why is my sister here? Is there something looking for me? Ruri asked.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's not about the New Year, come and see the girl." Hongxiang talked about him a little.

"Ding's Mansion is not busy, but he is willing to let my sister out?" Ruri quipped.

Who knew that Hongxiang listened, but her brows became more and more deep, Liuli saw that she had something on her mind, and asked tentatively: "Sister Hongxiang, what is there to worry about, why don't you tell my sister about it?" ”

Hongxiang seemed to have finally made up her mind, and slowly spoke: "I...... Alas, I actually came to look for my sister, and I do have something to say to my sister and ask what you mean. You've always had an idea, and you've helped your sister with one or two. ”

"What's the matter?" Liuli looked at her expectantly and made a deaf look.

"Speaking of which, this thing shouldn't have bothered my sister, and it's true...... It's really hard to talk about...... I hope my sister won't laugh at me. Hongxiang stumbled.

"Sister, how can I laugh at her?" Liuli solemnly promises.

"That's it...... A few days ago, my wife suddenly found me and said that she wanted to promise me to the eldest master, and I ...... "The red incense is like a gnat, it is really a matter of marriage, and it is a shameful thing in the eyes of ancient women."

"Sir?" Liuli was taken aback, "But Ding Yuanwai?" ”

"Hmm." Hongxiang blushed and nodded.

"He's over forty?!" Liuli exclaimed again, and then realized her gaffe, and hurriedly lowered her voice: "My sister is in the prime of her youth, how can she marry Master Ding, who is in his forties?" ”

"Sister mean, don't approve?" Hongxiang asked hesitantly.

"Of course not!" Liuli is very sure, "My sister is so beautiful, young, neat and capable, and can make her own money, she should find a good Lang Jun." ”

"But...... But I'm just a girl, not as good as my sister said. Hongxiang muttered.

Liuli was silent for a while, she forgot that Hongxiang is not free at all, but when it comes to Hongxiang, the daily rewards and monthly examples should not be low: "Sister, didn't you think about redeeming yourself?" If I don't have any money, I can borrow some from my sister here. ”

"I haven't saved much over the years." Hongxiang said in a low voice, seeing Liuli's obviously puzzled expression, and explained: "The monthly income and monthly income are all sent to the family intact, and the younger brother in the family marries a daughter-in-law and builds a house, and the livelihood of his parents depends on me." ”

Glass:......

She didn't expect that Hongxiang was an ancient version of the "Brother Demon".
