When it was almost the end of the year, Zhang Cun came back. What came back with him was a big order from a shop in Qiandi.

"That side is close to South Vietnam, and you can sell pickles over there." Zhang Cun took off the burden on his body, took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver from it and handed it to Yang Laosan: "This is a deposit, and 50,000 jars of pickles will be paid within a year." The final payment will be settled once a month. ”

Then he handed over another silver ticket: "This is a deposit of 1,000 taels of silver, if he has enough 50,000 vats of pickles, we will refund him 1,500 taels." If we don't get enough, we won't return the money. ”

Looking at the two silver tickets, Yang Laosan had mixed feelings in his heart. He had a lot to say in his heart, and in the end, he could only shout in a trembling voice: "Good, good! ”

Ye looked at Zhang Cun, but turned his back to wipe his tears. Carambola put her arm around her mother's shoulder, patted her on the back and coaxed: "Brother-in-law has a chance, and A-Niang should be happy." ”

"Happy, you have to be happy, happy." Ye hurriedly wiped his tears and pulled the star fruit to a feast for Zhang Cun.

When Xiao went out, Ye took the hand of star fruit and said, "I came back with the silver, but what do you think he looks like he is black and thin?" What did your father's brow look like when he patted him on the shoulder just now? I guess he must have a wound on him. ”

"The wind and sand over there in Qiandi are relatively large, and although the difference in diet is not big, there is also a difference in the end. When my brother-in-law left, he brought little silver, and he ran all the way, so it was reasonable to be black and thin. ”

"I know." But in the end, it is distressing.

"Isn't this coming back safely, let's make up for him?" Seeing that A-Niang's teardrops were about to roll down, Carambola hurriedly patted her shoulder and said, "A-Niang can't be like this all the time." You are distressed like this, what should Sister be? It's not easy for them to be a small couple, let's not make them sad on a good day. ”

"Yes, A-Niang knows." Ye took the silver and went to the big house to buy chickens, and pushed the star fruit and said: "Go to the town to pick up Aunt Zhang, Zhang Cun came here directly after coming back from Qiandi, and her aunt should be in a hurry at home." ”

Star fruit was a little reluctant, when Sister A had a miscarriage in prison, she didn't give much of a good face when she went back to Zhang's. Not only that, but also made an excuse not to make up for Sister A after a month.

The old lady despises the Yang family, what does the Yang family do to rush to get close?

"Go!" Ye pushed her: "In the end, it is your brother-in-law's mother-in-law, your sister's mother-in-law." She is insignificant to you, but she is as heavy as Mount Tai in the eyes of your brother-in-law. ”

Carambola sighed, but in the end it still went.

Passing by Qiao's pharmacy, I happened to bump into Qiao Xiu sneakily carrying something into his arms, and then sneaked out of the corner door.

Star fruit hid in the dark and patted her on the shoulder, so frightened that she jumped up, and even the medicine bag in her arms fell out.

"What are you doing sneaking around?"

Qiao Xiu was shocked, patted her chest and said with a sneam: "It's Sister Carambola, it's really scared me to death." ”

"What did you do to be scared like this?" Star fruit glanced at her playfully, opened the medicine bag she picked up, and her face immediately changed: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Sister Carambola don't care, you just don't know anything if you haven't met me, okay?" Qiao Xiu withdrew the hand that didn't have time to stop the star fruit from opening the medicine bag, and reverently saluted the star fruit, begging her to keep her mouth shut.

"Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Tianqi, safflower......" Star fruit counted the precious medicinal materials in the paper bag, and glanced at Qiao Xiu: "What are you doing with these things secretly?" Short of money for silver? ”

Qiao Xiu's face turned red, but no matter how star fruit asked, she only lowered her voice and kept silent.

"If you don't say it again, I'm going to take it and go to Aunt Wang. Just these things, the cost is more than fifty taels of silver......"

"Sister Carambola, I didn't treat you like this in the past." Qiao Xiu looked at the carambola's eyes with tears in her eyes, and said pitifully: "You shouldn't know, this shouldn't be difficult." ”

"If you're short of money, I'll ......"

"Who lacks silver?" Qiao Xiu was annoyed and anxious, so she simply snatched the medicine bag in the carambola's hand and ran: "If you want to recognize my sister, don't say anything." If you refuse to admit it, then do it. ”

The star fruit was empty in his hand, and looking at Qiao Xiu, who was running like a rabbit, he always felt that something was wrong.

She hesitated in place for a long time, and finally just looked at Qiao's pharmacy and sighed, and didn't go to the informant.

When I saw Aunt Zhang, she was sitting alone under the eaves dozing. The old and decadent appearance made the star fruit angry again.

"What's wrong with the old man looking forward to his grandson? It's normal for people to be sad and disappointed and angry with Sister Ah after losing their grandson! Carambola muttered to herself a few times, and woke up Aunt Zhang with a smile.

Seeing that it was star fruit, although Aunt Zhang still warmly beckoned her into the house to sit, she was also busy buying the dishes that star fruit likes to eat. But when he avoided the star fruit's gaze, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the Yang family several times.

"My sister......"

"Is Cui'er alright?"

Both of them spoke at the same time, and then stopped at the same time. Aunt Zhang smiled awkwardly at the star fruit, and belched: "I was angry that the shop was in trouble a while ago, and I felt sorry that the family had suffered so much. I was dizzy for a while, and I was a little more indifferent to Cui'er, but Cui'er was still angry? ”

At the end of the question, Aunt Zhang's confidence was very insufficient. She lowered her head, occasionally lifted her eyelids to glance at the star fruit, and probed her face: "You said that if I admit my mistake, can Cui'er come back with me?" Cun'er is running outside to make a living, and I have to guard his home for him. ”

In these years, mother-in-law is the rule, and mother-in-law's words are holy decrees. Where is the reason for a mother-in-law to bow her head to her daughter-in-law?

Carambola hurriedly explained: "Where will Sister be angry with you?" She was busy with both the workshop and the shop a while ago, and when she was done, the city gate had already fallen to the key, so she had to live in the shop. She actually thinks about you in her heart, and thinks that she will come back and ask for your forgiveness after this busy time. ”

"Then she ......" Aunt Zhang couldn't help but look behind the star fruit again, her eyes were full of expectation. Obviously, she was looking at Yang Cui......

"Sister asked me to invite you, my brother-in-law has come back from Qiandi. Because I brought a lot of orders to discuss the details of opening a workshop with my family, I went to my house first. ”

Afraid that Aunt Zhang would think too much, Carambola added: "Although my sister and wife are in the Yang family, I am thinking about you." As soon as I finished talking about business, I was going to go home to say hello to you, and my aunt felt sorry for him all the way, so she left people behind. ”

A person who has lived for half a life, how could Aunt Zhang not even understand this scene?

She knew that her own son must have annoyed her for putting on small shoes for Yang Cui. But Carambola Ken said this, Yang Jiaken came to pick her up for a reunion, she received this love!

The two walked to Yang's house together, and when they passed by Qiao's pharmacy, Aunt Zhang suddenly took Carambola's hand and asked in a whisper, "This is your fiancé's pharmacy, right?"

Seeing her solemn expression, star fruit didn't care about being ashamed, and nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Their family has been robbed recently, and they have lost precious medicinal materials at both ends in three days. The aunt Wang was so anxious to reunite that the shopkeeper Qiao couldn't trust the government and refused to report to the official. ”

Aunt Zhang glanced at the signboard of Qiao's pharmacy, hurriedly shrank back, patted the carambola's arm and said kindly: "The shop is full of old people who have followed Qiao's shopkeeper for many years, and there are no unclean hands and feet. The neighbors are spreading that it is likely to have something to do with the dead Erya, so you might as well go and talk to Aunt Wang, and let her ask a Taoist priest to take a look. ”

"It's been a long time since she lost something at home?"

"It's been more than three months since your family's case ended, and it's been lost every now and then. If it weren't for the coincidence of this time, Beishan was haunted a while ago, who could think about Eryatou Mountain? ”

Aunt Zhang was still chattering, but the star fruit was thinking about Qiao embroidery.

It's been a few months, what is she going to do stealing those things? If she said that she was short of silver flowers, stealing it once would be enough for her to spend it for several months.

No, there must be something in between.

There is something going on today, and star fruit can't go to Qiao Xiu. Besides, things are strange, she also has to get through with Qiao An first, and the two of them discuss this matter.

After picking up Aunt Zhang's back, the Yang family had already prepared the meal. The two tables of dishes were more sumptuous than the New Year, and everyone in the Yang family gathered together to pick up the wind for Zhang Cun, which was very festive.

Only the second uncle and the second uncle drank wine one after another. Grandpa and Grandma only sighed when they looked at it, and they couldn't say the persuasive words after opening their mouths many times.

Yang Pan left, but what he took away was the soul of his father.

Carambola took a wine glass to the second uncle and second aunt. After taking a sip, he said: "Fifth brother is clever, he will definitely be able to make a contribution when he goes out this time." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people at the table gave star fruit a look: which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, aren't you poking people's hearts?

The faces of the second uncle and the second aunt also turned really dark: in winter, the hungry barbarians will break through the border to burn, kill, rob and abuse. At this time, it is up to the soldier to block it with flesh and blood. This is simply nine deaths and a lifetime, where does it come from? Even if we make meritorious deeds, we still want our sons, not this meritorious deeds.

What's more, Yang Pan still doesn't know if he is alive or dead!

Carambola saw their expressions in her eyes, she filled herself with a glass of wine, and said excitedly: "I admire my brother!" ”

didn't wait for the people in the second room to get angry, and the star fruit continued: "In this life, one day of life will be one day less." I don't know which will come first, tomorrow or woe. Don't talk about it, just look at our three rooms, just look at my star fruit himself.

I haven't even had time to settle it, and there have been two fatal lawsuits. If it weren't for fate, would you have survived? Looking at the previous Zhou County Order, as soon as he happened, the whole family was exiled, and his grandson, who was only a few months old, could survive the exile? ”

The second uncle took a sip of wine and didn't even look at the star fruit; The second aunt kept looking at the star fruit, but the eyes were really scathing.

Everyone smoked cold air for the star fruit, but the star fruit was the only one who didn't realize it, and still talked eloquently: "The fifth brother is Jiaolong, and he was detained in the pond and aggrieved." He has a burning heroic dream in his chest, and if he doesn't go out and fight, his life will be in vain. ”

Carambola took the wine and toasted the second uncle, and asked him seriously: "The second uncle wants to make the business bigger, and the taste of being constrained for various reasons is not comfortable." But you're at least still in business, what about my fifth brother? You don't even let him learn kung fu, and his discomfort is countless times for you. ”

"You're enough!" Yang Laosan slapped the table, and Ye also hurriedly pulled the corner of the carambola's clothes.

Carambola poured wine to salute the second aunt again: "Knowing the son is like a mother, the second aunt thinks about it carefully." Under what circumstances is the fifth brother of Jiao'er Langdang with outstanding courage and bright eyes? When was he extremely fresh and scrappy? ”

The eldest uncle immediately appeared in front of him when Grandpa hit Yang Pan's board. After hitting such a heavy board, he gritted his teeth, flashed his eyes, and shouted arrogantly: "I am not a hero, I am also a man, a man who stands up to the sky." ”

The middle-aged uncle was also full of passion just thinking about it: "Men, you should serve your family and country from the sky." Pan'er's heart is not in our family's one-third of an acre. The light held him back, and he was uncomfortable. ”

"Enough!"

The second aunt slapped the table, paused for a moment and directly overturned the table. She glared at the star fruit angrily, and her tone was sarcastic: "Who are you teaching again?" Teach whom? ”

"I'm telling the truth, I want to cheer you all up." Carambola-for-tat: "You should also have your own life and career." If it's really uncomfortable, and you don't have the strength to use it, come and start a pickle business with us. ”
