Li Shi was slightly stunned, so he asked: "What are you busy with, it's still early!" ”

Du Hepu only said: "There are a lot of trivial things at home, and after the New Year, I have to show the big girl her relatives." ”

When Li heard this, he paused slightly in his heart and asked, "But someone has chosen someone, which village is it?" "Zhang's daughter-in-law has nothing to do in Li's heart! Li didn't worry about her, afraid that she would marry Du Xiaozhi if she found someone randomly, or for the sake of the dowry, regardless of her character.

Du Hepu perfunctory: "I'm still looking at each other, I haven't decided which one it is." ”

Li didn't ask much, and kept him again: "It's so cold, you can eat and leave!" ”

Du Hepu shook his head and said stubbornly: "It's relieved to take a look, mother, let's go." Du Hepu was stabbed in his back, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.

An indescribable sense of disappointment and powerlessness rose in Li's heart, she stopped talking, nodded, and sent Du Hepu and his son to the front.

The noodle restaurant was very lively, there were almost no empty seats, and everyone was very satisfied with the noodle bowl in hand. The room was steaming, everyone had a smile on their faces, and the aroma of food floated!

All this made Du Hepu very uncomfortable.

Du Hepu saw that Du Heqing was very busy and someone was paying, so he took more than a dozen dollars and put it in his apron pocket, without showing any joy or surprise.

It seems that he often receives money like this, and he is used to it.

Du Hepu felt that the room was a little breathless, and he walked out of the shop quickly regardless of others calling him. Du Anxing turned around and said a few words to Du Heqing, and then followed Du Hepu and left the Du family noodle restaurant.

As if they had met a ghost, the two of them rushed away with a roar.

Du Ankang asked Du Heqing afterwards: "Dad, what did Eleven say?" ”

"What can he say, pretend to be a good person!" Du Heqing has no kindness to Du Anxing at all, Du Anxing is responsible for his actions, he dares to attack his elders, so why should his elders treat him as his own child!

Du Ankang didn't dig any further, anyway, he wasn't interested in the matter of the second room, and now he was busy with business.

The family worked hard all day without touching the ground, and it was not until after dinner that they could catch their breath.

"Ouch, if you're so busy, when will you be able to buy New Year's goods!" Liu thumped his arms and legs, feeling that working in a noodle restaurant for a day was no lighter than going to the ground.

"There is no shortage of meat, chickens, eggs, and vegetables at home. If you want to buy it, you can buy some wine and sugar, and it won't take long. Du Ankang only said: "Why don't I get up early tomorrow, now there are everything sold in the shop!" Two more trips and bought everything back. ”

"It's good!!" Liu said: "Yu Niang wrote a list before, you take it and buy it!" ”

The whole family was very tired, so they didn't say a few words, and went to rest early.

What people didn't expect was that the next day there was a heavy snowfall, and when the Du family got up, a thick layer of snow had already fallen on the ground.

After breakfast, the snow has not stopped, but tends to get heavier and heavier. There were very few pedestrians on the streets, many people came and went in a hurry, and many small traders and vendors packed up their things and went back before they had time to set up their stalls.

The snow was too big.

Du Heqing sat at the door of the shop and looked out happily.

Ruixue Mega Year!

In Du Heqing's consciousness, he is still the farmer who watches the sky and eats and serves the crops. Heavy snow means a good harvest for the coming year, and people without crops will not be happy.

"I'm afraid there will be no one on the street, so I'll go buy it with my eldest brother, and I'll be back in a while." Du Yuniang changed into a thick jacket and said, "Mother, don't worry, in such weather, it is estimated that there will be no guests." ”

Liu took a money bag to Du Yuniang and told her that she didn't need to save flowers, she wanted to be lively this year, and she was not afraid to buy more things.

Du Yuniang knew that after the separation, Liu's heart was happy. And Tian gave birth to two big fat boys, and he was happy.

When people are happy, they are very generous.

Du Yuniang picked up the money, took a dark headscarf and wrapped her head, and then called Du Ankang.

Huzi was grinding Du Ankang and didn't know what he was talking about, Du Ankang answered twice, and ran forward while wearing a leather jacket.

"Say what?" Liu Shi looked at Huzi and then at Du Ankang.

Huzi hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't say anything!" ”

Du Ankang smiled, reached out and scratched his nose, "I'm leaving!" As he spoke, he picked up the basket at the door.

The brother and sister went out with an umbrella, leaving a long trail of footprints.

They first went to the shop and picked out two bottles of good wine, which were apricot blossom white. This wine has a long mouth, and it will not be good if you drink too much, and the taste is not dull. Du Yuniang thought about it, and simply bought two bottles of high-grain wine that she often drank at home, this wine had a high degree, and the entrance was spicy and burning, and she drank too much.

Du Ankang was in charge of carrying the goods, and he tied up the wine jar and put it in the back basket.

Du Yuniang paid for the wine, picked up the umbrella at the door, and walked to the next shop with Du Ankang. Halfway through, I ran into Qiu Caidie.

"What are you doing!?"

"Butterflies? There are no guests on this snowy day, we want to buy some New Year's goods, what's the matter, you are addicted to bringing children! Du Yuniang couldn't help but tease her.

"What nonsense! I haven't done it for a month yet! ”

Du Yuniang said: "You don't use it when it snows, didn't you say it!" Let's go back! There is no one in the store, and my mother will take care of the children. ”

Qiu Caidie hesitated.

Du Ankang interjected and said, "It's okay, you can go back!" And my grandmother is helping out! ”

Qiu Caidie nodded, "Okay, talk to your aunt when you go home!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Qiu Caidie walked to Nancheng with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Let's go, buy firecrackers, buy sugar."

The two of them went to the grocery store again, bought candy, fried peanuts, and two snacks.

"Firecrackers, by the way, when I came out, Huzi kept saying, let me buy more."

Du Yuniang pouted, "How expensive are firecrackers!" ”

said so, but when she bought it, she didn't show any mercy at all, and bought five firecrackers for the whole hanging, and also bought scattered small firecrackers.

Fireworks are reluctant to buy, and they are much more expensive than firecrackers.

"What's missing?" Du Ankang took out the note he had written before and looked at it, "It's almost!" ”

"Where!" Du Yuniang said: "It's much worse!" "She still has to buy something for her two children, as well as Tian's mother, she has to buy more anyway.

When a woman buys something, she will never be soft.

Du Yuniang bought two more rattles, on which were painted fat dolls wearing red hoods, which looked particularly festive. Two red wooden beads are tied to each side of the drum surface, and when you shake it gently, it will make a pleasant sound.

As soon as Du Ankang saw the rattle, he thought of the two fat sons in the family, and his mouth opened unconsciously. The workmanship of these two plucking drums is very good, and the details are also very delicate, and every place is particularly smooth, and even a little stubble can not be touched.

"Bought it!" When Du Ankang thought that his sons liked this, his heart bubbled with joy.

Du Yuniang took him to the silver building again.

"Jade Niang, what are you doing here!"

"Buy two pieces of jewelry for my sister-in-law and mother. Look how pure they are! Du Yuniang didn't buy too expensive things, because even if she bought them, Liu was reluctant to wear them, and she would definitely keep them in the box as a treasure at the bottom of the box.

"Buy two pairs of silver cloves!" Du Yuniang felt that the things worn on her ears were not too ostentatious, and the weight was not heavy, so her mother would not be reluctant.

Du Ankang can only say good.

Du Yuniang asked the guy to wrap two pairs of silver cloves, and planned to leave with them in her arms. Who knew that Du Ankang stopped her and said, "Buy yourself a pair too!" ”

Where did Du Yuniang have the heart to buy this, and said at the moment: "I don't like it, the snow is getting heavier and heavier outside, we have to hurry." ”

Du Ankang had no choice but to go out of the silver building with her.

Coincidentally, the brother and sister met a fish seller on a street corner.

The fish seller was a father and son, and a basket was placed in front of them, and the fish in it froze.

There were not many people buying fish, and the father and son were so cold that their faces turned blue.

Du Yuniang took a look, and there were more than a dozen grasses in the basket, including grass carp, carp, and silver carp.

It can be seen that this fish should have been brought by them, because the varieties are relatively mixed.

"How do you sell the fish?"

The father and son came to their senses, and hurriedly said: "The price is different, this fish was newly caught last night, girl, there are not many people who buy fish, if you buy more, we will be cheaper." ”

In the end, Du Yuniang actually bought all these fish.

Du Ankang was shocked and said that he couldn't eat so much.

Du Yuniang said: "It's okay, you can eat." Then he talked to the father and son who sold the fish about the price, and finally for 200 yuan, they all bought the fish.

The fish are big and small, and the father and son are still very happy to be able to sell them all at once. The two of them used straw ropes to string the fish together and handed them to Du Ankang.

Du Yuniang paid the money and pulled Du Ankang away.

"What are you buying so much for?"

"My sister-in-law is in confinement, eating fish and milk!"

Du Ankang felt a warm current in his heart, he knew that his sister was kind, but he was still a little embarrassed in his heart.

"Brother, it's almost!"

Originally, Du Yuniang still wanted to buy some clothes and materials to make clothes, but then she remembered that Boss Qian had taken two horses of materials before, so she dispelled this idea.

On the way back, I also met a sugar gourd seller, Du Yuniang didn't say a word, and paid for two more strings.

By the time the brother and sister walked home, the entire Xingxi Town was covered in white snow. In the gray sky, snowflakes fluttered wildly, as if the whole world was enclosed in it.

As Du Yuniang walked, she was thinking about her previous life, and her heart suddenly felt a little sore! Her heart was originally numb, as if nothing could make her feel pain anymore, but at this moment, she suddenly felt distressed.

Thinking about it, the two of them arrived home.

"How did you buy so many fish!" Liu was surprised and delighted, "Is it expensive?" ”

Du Ankang put down the basket behind him and said: "It was the father and son who sold it overnight, and the fish were both big and small, so they bought them all." Yu Niang said to make soup for Zhao Di and give milk! ”

Liu nodded, and took out the wine, peanuts, sugar, and firecrackers in the basket one by one.

Du Yuniang took out the silver cloves in her arms, picked up a pair and handed them to Liu: "Mother, this is for you, hurry up and take out the straw stick in your ear, it's a shame." ”

Liu's eyes were hot, and as soon as he wanted to celebrate the New Year, it was unlucky to shed tears, so he glared at her gently, "You kid, what do you do when you buy this, and spend useless money." ”

"How could it be useless! Right, Huzi. ”

Huzi was eating a rare firecracker, he was eating a sugar gourd, while putting the firecracker in his arms, nodding incessantly, and said vaguely: "Yes, yes." In fact, he didn't hear what Liu and Du Yuniang were saying.

Du Yuniang laughed, stuffed the remaining pair of silver cloves into Du Ankang's hand, and said, "Go and get it for your daughter-in-law." ”

Du Ankang glanced at Liu, and saw that his old lady had no intention of being angry, so he went to the backyard with his things.

Du He was hungry for wine, and his eyes couldn't stop glancing at the wine jar.

Everyone was very happy, and even the Li family forgot the unhappiness when the second room came before.

"Mother, we met Caidie halfway, she had to come, I asked her to go back."

Liu nodded, "With such a big snowfall, there is no one at all, let's be busy." That kid is just too sincere. ”

Li also nodded, deeply agreed.

Du Heqing said: "Anyway, there is no one, close the shop!" ”

Du Yuniang said: "Don't, Dad, in case someone passes by and wants to eat a bowl of hot noodles, but we don't open a store, that's not good." ”

Du Heqing glanced at her in surprise.

Du Yuniang said humbly: "It's convenient for others and for yourself!" ”

I don't know if I listened to Du Yuniang's words, Du Heqing really didn't close the store, there were no customers in the shop, and it was deserted for a day.

In the evening, Du Yuniang advocated eating noodles.

"It's too cold on a snowy day, and it's warm to eat noodles. Drink some more wine and feel refreshed! ”

Du Heqing agreed very much, anyway, as long as he drank it, it would be fine.

It's rare that Liu has no objection, anyway, it's going to be the New Year, just order wine, it's the same to drink early and late.

Du Yuniang made stretched noodles, and she didn't know how to mix them, but there was a small piece of dough.

Liu didn't care.

During the meal, Du Heqing really drank wine, Du Yuniang fried two dishes, and Li, his son, and grandson drank a little wine, and really felt comfortable all over his body.

The three of them drank most of the high-grain wine, and they were all a little upset.

Liu waited for the three of them to wash and rest in the back, while Du Yuniang went to the front shop to close the shop.

She sat at the table and didn't go to the door panel for a long time.

She was thinking about Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng is the twenty-seventh birthday of the lunar month, once he inadvertently said that he returned to his hometown for the New Year one year, and was catching up with heavy snowfall, and finally entered the city, but all the shops were closed. He wanted to eat a bowl of longevity noodles, but he didn't eat it, so he went home hungry.

Du Yuniang has always remembered this incident until now.

She was thinking, will Yang Zheng pass by today? If he passes by, will he come into the store?

She wanted to make him a bowl of longevity noodles.
