When Li Gengtian and his daughter-in-law Fang heard that their two sons were back, they rushed out of the house in a hurry.

Fang Shi took his younger son in one hand, glanced at his eldest son, and asked complainingly, "Why did you come home after such a big snow?" What can I do if it's cold? ”

When he said this, his face was full of joy.

The two sons studied in the county school in Qinghui County, lived at his aunt's house, and only came to the house once in a few months. On weekdays, she thinks that her son can't think about it, but she thinks that not everyone can study in the county school, so she has to endure it for the sake of her son's future.

Now that his son is back, he is overjoyed, and his complaining words are just words, and he is also worried that his son will be cold.

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "I wanted to come back before, I didn't want it to snow yesterday, but Changyu wanted to come back again, so I came back in the snow." It wasn't very cold outside, and we were sweating. ”

When the family entered the house, Fang and the old man hurriedly brought two small fire buckets to the two of them; Li Gengtian took the package from his son, put it aside, and asked, "You walked all the way back from Xiatangji?" I didn't call for an ox cart either. ”

Li Changyu pouted and said, "Where is the ox cart?" There wasn't even a ghost hair on the road. I don't have to walk back! ”

Fang asked kindly, "Are you hungry?" Mother goes to cook. Woohoo! There's nothing good to eat. Father, you go to Changhe's house and take a look, buy some pig water and pig head meat, and come back. That thing Changfeng and Changyu haven't eaten yet, buy them and try them! Ming'er caught another chicken in the morning and killed it. ”

The old man was also busy saying: "That thing is good, buy some and come back for Changfeng and Changyu to taste." ”

Li Gengtian said hesitantly: "Isn't this the same as coming to the door?" Why don't you speak? Aoki has sent it several times. ”

Fang said angrily: "Her family is opening the door to do business, but she just picked it up in Xiatangji to sell it." You go to the door to buy, the money is not deserved? You say that if you want to eat it in the future, you will buy it directly, this is not a ready-made doorstep business? She always wants to send it, and we're embarrassed to say otherwise. Besides, there are so many people in the village, which one to send and which one not to send, it's not all a matter of offending people. ”

The old man nodded and said, "I want to pay for it." It's not easy for two people to be long, and they earn hard money. ”

Li Gengtian smiled and said, "I must want the money, I'm afraid he will be embarrassed to ask for it." Okay, I know what to tell him. Bring two casseroles, or there will be nothing to hold. ”

So Fang went to the kitchen to get something.

Here Li Changyu asked his father: "Dad, the Changhe you are talking about, is it the one who lives at the foot of Xiaoqingshan and has an ugly girl chrysanthemum at home." ”

Li Gengtian said: "It's his house." The chrysanthemum is very capable, and the stinky pig is burned fragrant, and her mother picks it up every day to sell it in the pond market, and can earn a lot of money. It's just tired and dirty. ”

Li Changyu said: "Oh! My brother and I met her just now. She stood at the head of the village and looked out, as if waiting for someone. It seems that she is waiting for her mother. ”

Li Gengtian was stunned and said: "Her mother can come back every morning, why hasn't she come back yet?" ”

Fang Shi happened to come out of the kitchen with a basket and two casseroles in it, and said worriedly after hearing his words: "Is it true, you really saw Chrysanthemum waiting at the entrance of the village?" On this day, if Sister-in-law Zheng hasn't come back yet, it won't be good. Dad, go and take a look. ”

Li Gengtian hurriedly took the basket, put wooden-soled straw sandals on top of his shoes, and hurried out.

Chrysanthemum waited at the entrance of the village for a while, and her body gradually became cold.

She became more and more anxious, wanting to go back, but she was unwilling. When I was looking through the autumn water, I suddenly saw two small black dots emerging at the end of the snow in the distance. Gradually, the black dot enlarged, and the outline became clearer, and this time, she was sure that it was her mother and brother who had returned, and she was so happy that she ran over to them.

When Yang saw Chrysanthemum stumbling up in the snow, she grabbed her, lifted the face towel and looked at it, and sure enough, her lips were blue from the cold, and she couldn't help complaining distressedly: "You baby, what are you doing here?" I'm really in trouble, your brother has been found, isn't it superfluous for you to come again? If you get frostbite, won't it add to the chaos? ”

Aoki also looked at her reproachfully.

Chrysanthemum smiled happily: "I saw that my brother had been gone for so long and hadn't come back, so I was anxious, so I went around to the entrance of the village to take a look." Let's go home and make a fire! ”

Yang said: "Now you know that it's cold, and you're going to roast the fire?" ”

Chrysanthemum diverted the conversation and asked, "Mother, why haven't you returned until now?" There are not many dishes, and if you can't sell them, you can just bring them to give them away, what's the use of staying there all the time. ”

When asked about this, Yang said with a smile on his face: "Blame me." If only I told you first, I would like to go back tomorrow. Today, Laixi and I will carry the burden to the village below and sell it. It's a good seller. Those people don't want to go out on a snowy day, but we have picked the vegetables to their doorstep, and we buy what we want to buy. I ran two villages, and it was sold out. They all told me to go again tomorrow. ”

Chrysanthemum was sad when she heard this, she sighed and said, "How tired it is, I have to run that long way, and it is still snowing." Ming'er still don't go. ”

Aoki also said: "It's better to sell less if you sell less, and you can't come here if you didn't sell it before." ”

Yang knew that they were worried about themselves, so he smiled and said: "It's late tonight, it was me and Lai Xi who didn't think of this method until later, and said hello to your uncle and went down." Ming'er and I will go straight down early in the morning, and we will definitely come home early. The Xiatang market is also sold, and it is sold in your uncle's shop. There was no delay in either place. ”

Chrysanthemum thought for a while and said, "Let's go home and discuss it with my father." ”

The family of three went back. When he arrived in the village, Aoki went to the school again to say hello to his master.

As soon as they passed, the village chief Li Gengtian rushed to the entrance of the village and happened to miss it. Li Gengtian didn't see the chrysanthemum, thinking that this baby must have gone home, so he also came to Xiaoqingshan.

Out of the end of the village, I saw a few figures entering the courtyard of Zheng Changhe's house from a distance, and I knew that it was a few of them who had returned, so I put my mind at ease and slowly rushed to his house.

When Li Gengtian arrived at Zheng's house, Yang and Chrysanthemum were changing their shoes to bake the fire, while Zheng Changhe and Aoki were packing up the things in their burdens.

"Ouch! The village chief is here, what a rare guest! Come in and sit. ”

Zheng Changhe saw that it was the village chief who came, and although he was surprised, he still enthusiastically let him into the house.

Li Gengtian smiled: "What kind of rare land do I have?" It's all from one village. Changhe daughter-in-law, are you back? I just heard my family's Changyu say that Chrysanthemum was waiting for her mother at the entrance of the village, and she was still worried - you usually came back a long time ago, why haven't you returned until now? I ran over and looked, but I didn't see you, and then I came here again. ”

Yang looked at the chrysanthemum in surprise, thinking why didn't he hear her say this?

Li Gengtian brought his two sons back, and the Fang family asked him to buy some pig water and pig head meat, as well as Li Changyu's words.

Yang said gratefully: "Seeing that Changyu is worried." I'm going to sell it in the village below Xiatangji today, so I'll be late. Come, I'll scoop you up. Don't talk about money, isn't that a shame? They are all people at the door of the house, Changfeng and Changyu only come to the house once in a few months, and I should be my aunt to send some dishes to eat them. ”

Li Gengtian said with a smile: "I was about to tell you that you can pick and sell in other villages, why can't we sell miles in one village?" If you don't need any money back, who is too embarrassed to buy it again? Even if you send someone again, people will be embarrassed to ask for it. Besides, there are so many people in the village, it's not good if you send one or not one. In the long run, whoever wants to eat will come and buy it, isn't it more cost-effective than buying meat? It also saves burning. Damn Aoki, you're listening to me! ”

Chrysanthemum, who was sitting in the fire bucket, listened to it and secretly praised the village chief's words. It's okay to send it once or twice, but it's too many times, and no one can stand it, and it offends people.

Yang had no choice but to smile and say: "Look at what the village chief said, then I will be cheeky and collect the money." "She wants a village, I'll scoop more.

So, in addition to the part of counting the money, she also scooped up a lot of pigs and went into the water to plough the fields, saying that she was her aunt and sent Changfeng and Changyu to eat, and found a small jar, and took a jar of spicy cabbage to him.

Zheng Changhe said vigorously on the side that it was too bad to collect money.

Li Gengtian reproached him and said, "You know generosity when you are a big man." Is it easy for her mother and mother to make some money? Seeing that it is snowing heavily, I have only come back until now. Brother Changhe, I am the village chief, just say two words to you with an old face, if someone comes to buy it, don't be a big head, pretend to be a good person, Chrysanthemum is so hard with her mother, it should be paid. ”

Zheng Changhe was very embarrassed when he heard it!

Isn't it, in this business, he helps clean up the pig's head and pig's trotters, and the rest of the work is done by Yang and Chrysanthemum, and it seems that he just wants to save face. He had to giggle and scratch the back of his head.

Yang was also amused when he saw him, and secretly thanked the village chief for being able to speak.

She told again: "Village chief, this pig's head meat has been cooked, and it can be eaten hot; The pig has not yet been boiled through the water, and my family usually puts it in a pot and simmers it until the next morning, and now it is served out to be sold. Go to your house and tell Changyu and his mother to tell her to burn it on a low fire for another hour before she can eat it, otherwise it won't taste good enough. ”

Li Gengtian was also very happy to see that the Yang family was so generous and could behave, and he promised to leave and go out.
