Chapter 42: Chinese New Year

The New Year is getting closer and closer, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the Tian family's carbon is selling very well. The delivery is no longer delivered by him, and he can't keep busy burning charcoal, so he hires a person to help deliver the goods. It not only supplies Banxia, but also supplies to businesses in the county, although it is cheaper, but it can be regarded as a small profit and quick turnover. On this day, he actually delivered the goods, and Banxia was a little surprised.

Tian Defu said that the New Year was coming, and he brought a lot of marinated meat by the way, and Banxia hung the meat piece by piece in the stove room, and Anzi stood there and watched, "Sister, there is a lot of meat." ”

"Big brother, do you want to eat meat, I'll ask my dad to send it to you."

"I'll ask my dad to send it to you, too."

"Stupid little Linzi, your father is my father."

"You call me stupid, I'm going to sue my dad and let him beat you to death."

"If you complain, you will sue, don't take you out to play."

"Wow...... I'm going to play with you guys. ”

Banxia didn't expect to say just two or three sentences, and the two brothers and sisters quarreled, and the little sister cried. Looking at Anzi helplessly, Anzi turned around: "Don't cry." ”

The little girl stopped crying. Anzi helped her wipe her tears, "The little girl who loves to cry will not look good, Xiao Linzi is the most beautiful, she can't cry." ”

Xiao Linzi suddenly burst into tears and laughed.

"Big brother......" What else did the little boy want to say

"My sister said that it is useless, thank you for wanting to send me meat, but we have it ourselves, I don't want yours."

The little boy was even more aggrieved when he heard this.

Anzi took his hand, "Let's go, let's go out and build a snowman, build a big snowman like you." ”

The little boy was also happy, and the three of them happily built a snowman together.

Banxia was amazed, Anzi's communication skills are eaten by both men and women. The three children were building snowmen in the yard, wasn't there laughter, there was a commotion in the small yard, Banxia looked at the three of them, and couldn't help thinking, there is still half a month, Gan Sui should be on the way back.

The two children were the children of a cloth seller who had just moved in from the street. Banxia sometimes didn't have time to cook, so she asked Anzi to go to the restaurant at the entrance of the street to order something, and then asked the restaurant to deliver it. Anzi was very familiar with this road, and Banxia only followed him once and then put his mind at ease.

That day, Anzi went to order food again, and when she returned, she brought back a dirty little boy. Banxia was still thinking in her heart, don't bring back another child, the family can't afford to raise it.

Another little boy was chubby and still crying, and Banxia asked Anzi to find out. When Anzi went to order food, she saw a wild dog running after the child, and when she was about to bite him, Anzi chased the dog away with a stick.

Banxia was scared, what gave him confidence and asked him to chase away a big dog. "Then are you okay, have you been injured by the dog?" In those days, there were no rabies seedlings, and if you accidentally contracted the disease, it would be terrible.

"I'm fine, my sister taught me kung fu, I'm not afraid."

Banxia couldn't help laughing, what kind of kung fu was to see his weakness and let him get off the horse, but he kept insisting, and his body was a lot stronger.

After all, he did a good deed, and Banxia didn't criticize him, but he just told him to pay attention to his own safety. The little boy was still crying, Banxia took hot water to wipe his face, and gave him candy before coaxing. Banxia asked him which store he belonged to again, and the little chubby dun muttered that he couldn't say clearly, and Banxia could only be ready to hold him and ask one by one.

At this moment, someone came and asked if they had seen their child, short and fat.

Banxia: ...... This description is undoubtedly my own parents.

Little Fat Dun called his father and mother directly, and Banxia told them what happened just now, telling them that the child was frightened and was afraid that he would have nightmares at night, so he asked the two parents to pay attention, and the two nodded again and again, thanked them and left.

In the afternoon, the two also sent a piece of cloth, which was good material, saying that they would let Banxia take it to make clothes for the child, and thank Anzi for saving their little pillar. Yes, that stout little chubby mound is also called a small pillar.

Banxia bluntly said that he didn't know how to needlework, and it was useless to bring cloth, but he gave them silver and asked them to make two small jackets for Anzi.

Since then, Xiaochubby Dun has become a frequent customer in the store, and he is simply obedient to Anzi, the 'life-saving benefactor'. Anzi likes to read, and the little chubby dun obediently stays next to him to listen to him read, and when he goes home, he will memorize two or three sentences, and he will write his name after only five or six days.

Xiaozhu's father and mother are simply overjoyed, their son can read and write, and if he rounds it off, he will be able to be admitted to Xiucai in the future, and he will be an official from now on. Then I heard that it was taught by Anzi, and after that, Anzi was even closer than his own son, and he had to make a set for Anzi to make clothes for Xiaozhuzi, and he had to buy a copy for Anzi when he bought something. Banxia is not a person who takes other people's things for nothing, for a while, what they lack at home, Anzi's enlightenment book and the like, they all give them a return gift, this has come and gone, and the two families are more close.

But the little sister at the little pillar of the house is uncomfortable, you said that your brother can bear it if he takes away the candy and snacks, and he is an outsider who wants to eat my things, and the little sister will go directly to the door with her brother one day.

As a result, the moment I saw Anzi, I forgot about kicking the gym, because Anzi was so good-looking. Xiao Linzi's sister looked at her face and directly became a qualified little fan girl, not only no longer complaining that this little brother snatched her snacks, but also took the initiative to share the snacks with him. Xiaozhuzi is unhappy again, this sister is always robbing her own things at home, and now she wants to bribe the eldest brother she finally made with snacks outside, which is outrageous.

For the sake of a little beautiful man, the two brothers and sisters first started talking, and then they started to make a fuss. But it didn't take long for Anzi to coax him again.

Banxia sighed, it was not good to have more children, this quarrel was simply a headache.

Banxia was counting the goods, and when he saw someone coming in, he saw that it was Wang Xiaoshan.

Banxia hadn't seen Wang Xiaoshan for a month or two, and Bai Qian said that he had gone out to run business, and the business was good in the next year, so if he ran more, he could earn a lot of money. also complained to Banxia that Wang Xiaoshan has become more and more energetic since his son was born, and he always wants to earn more money and save for his son.

Banxia also persuaded her that not all parents are for their son, and they are willing to work hard, as long as he is doing the right thing and not messing around outside, it is good.

When I suddenly saw him today, Banxia almost didn't recognize him, Wang Xiaoshan lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was very good: "Senior brother is here, sister-in-law didn't say that you went to run a business." ”

"Is it going, or the door introduced by your father-in-law, saying that the imperial court opened the sea ban, he has already set the road and personnel have been sorted out, let me go and see the goods, you don't know those things sent by sea, it is really cheap and good, and I am willing to order a boat, I sent it back and sold most of it along the way, and it is simply in supply when I get to Fucheng. However, the New Year is coming, the sea is frozen, and it is estimated that it will be early spring to run business. I'm here to give you dividends. Wang Xiaoshan said and took out the silver ticket from his arms, and looked at more than two thousand taels in Banxia.

"So many, senior brother miscalculated."

"Can't be wrong, I earned more than 8,000 taels on this trip, and Gan Sui and I told him that he was four and I was six."

Banxia didn't expect that Gan Sui could earn so much silver without being at home.

"Speaking of which, I still took advantage of it, so the money and connections are all willingly opened."

"He only brought more than two hundred taels of silver when he went out, where did he get the money?"

"My brother didn't tell you, he made a lot of money while he was leaving, reloading the goods. My junior brother is really a business talent, if I don't want to take the imperial examination, I really want to partner with him to do business, maybe I can become the richest man in the country in the future. ”

"Senior brother himself is also a capable person, if he is not willing, he can do it himself."

"I used to think that I was still talented, but when I compare it with Gan Sui, I can see the difference, this person's brain is really different. By the way, I also brought the things and letters that Gan Sui brought. As he spoke, he asked someone to bring it up, a big box. Banxia directly let them move upstairs.

"I haven't seen your sister-in-law for almost two months, so I won't stay with you for long, I'll go back first."

"Senior brother, you're busy, see you later."

"By the way, let's come to my house for dinner tomorrow, I said that I haven't seen you for two days and miss you."

"Okay."

Banxia opened the box first, there was really anything to eat, and there were some rouge gouaches, and the best thing was that there was a small bottle of essential oil in it, saying that it was a drop when bathing, and it could be fragrant all day. There are also a few children's picture books, and there are relatively few children's books these days, and I don't know where he collected them. Banxia left it at hand and waited to give it to Yasuko later. Then he opened the letter ......, "Didn't you come back for the New Year?" Banxia muttered.

"Sister......" Anzi ran up and saw Banxia's eyes red, "Sister, you're crying, what's wrong?" ”

"Sister is fine." As he spoke, he touched Anzi's hand, "It's so icy, and you've been playing with snow for so long, have you built a good snowman?" ”

"Heaped up."

Banxia hurriedly brought the hand warmer for Anzi to hold.

"Sister, don't be sad." Yasuko didn't know what was going on, but she felt that her sister was very sad.

"Sister is fine, it will be fine in a while. Are you hungry or not, my sister will make you something to eat. So saying, he went downstairs.

Anzi looked at the letter on the bed, didn't that brother-in-law come back, was my sister so sad because she knew the news that he didn't come back?

It's already the wax moon, although Gansui won't come back, the days of half summer still have to go. Taking advantage of the advent of the New Year's Festival, Banxia hired two poor students to write some Spring Festival couplets that fit the occasion, and the sales were very good.

Twenty-seven slaughtered roosters, twenty-eight handfuls of flour hair, twenty-nine steamed steamed buns, and thirty nights of staying up.

Finally in the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Xiaoshan sent someone to let Banxia go to their house for the New Year, Banxia refused, it doesn't matter if she goes to eat on weekdays, now for the New Year, she still wants to spend it in her own home. Wang Xiaoshan saw that she was resolute, so he was no longer reluctant.

Although there are only two people, Banxia and Anzi, Banxia still prepared a rich Chinese New Year's Eve rice, made a mutton soup pot, and a lot of dishes, bacon sausages were also cut, the two were about to eat, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, Banxia thought that Wang Xiaoshan was back again, and he was still saying: "Senior brother, I really don't want to ......" opened the door and saw "Gan Sui ......"

"I'm back."

There were people on the street setting off firecrackers, crackling, but Banxia couldn't hear anything, and only recalled the four words in his head: "I'm back." ”

It's good to have a New Year's reunion.
