It's winter and December, and the days are starting to get colder.

Fortunately, this year's winter clothes and winter quilts are fully prepared, the windows and doors have been repaired, and there is a stove at home, so it is still very warm to sit around the kang without anything.

On December 7, it snowed heavily, and there was a light snowfall.

Almost as soon as the snow fell, Akiyama rushed over from the other side of the river, shouting that he wanted to catch the hare: "That's what you said, you can catch the hare if the snow drifts." Let's quickly pack up our things and leave, I haven't entered the mountain for the past few days, and I'm almost stuffy. ”

Cherry couldn't help but laugh a little: "It's hard to get snow, what are you anxious about now?" Besides, I still have something to go out. ”

"Out of the house?" Akiyama furrowed an eyebrow. Cherry's grandparents are long gone, and they generally don't go to their uncle's house except for New Year's Holidays. Her aunt just came a few days ago, the uncle is next door, the third uncle needless to say, the relationship is not good, the fourth uncle went out to work and didn't come back, she wants to go out? Where to?

"Yes, go out." Cherry fluttered the freshly washed clothes on her body and smiled: "Go to Wu Ye's house." The third sister said that she couldn't go alone in this matter, she had to find someone to accompany her, the eldest sister was weak, and the second sister was too fast, so she could still help say a few words at home, so she planned to take her there.

Cherry happily folded her sleeves. It just so happened that she was asked to go to the Wu family's house to see and understand. When she came to this era, she had only seen the dilapidated houses of her uncle's house and her own family, and at most she had seen Runsheng and Akiyama's homes, and they were just ordinary small rich families. She really hasn't seen anything like the Wu family, and she doesn't know how luxurious and magnificent the ancient landlord's house will be.

The Wu family is located in the north of Xiaomiao Village, on the northern edge of the wheat field, sitting north and facing south. Different from Cherry's imagination, the entire Wu family courtyard wall is made of blue-gray bricks, simple and low-key, without the luxury she imagined.

The Wu family has three long-term workers and one housekeeper. The two sisters called the door, and it was the door of Jin Fulaiying. Seeing that it was the Cotton Peach sisters, Jin Fu didn't even save the report, and directly let the two of them into the courtyard and stayed in the hall.

Taking advantage of the fact that Wu Ye did not come, the cherry looked up and down, left and right, this Wu family's courtyard was more magnificent than the houses of ordinary villagers in the village, but it was not too exaggerated. It is only a little larger than the ordinary house, and there is a hall directly opposite the courtyard, there are two rooms on the left and right, and two wings in the east and west of the courtyard. It is estimated that the three long-term workers still have work to do. After all, Wu Ye hired long-term workers to take care of the fish pond and the fields, but he didn't use them to serve people.

The hall is divided into left and right, with a pearwood round table in the center on the left and two rows of single chairs on the right. Cherry and cotton peach sit on the left, hands on the round table, round and smooth, shiny. The cherry feeling is carefully rubbed, and after so long, I finally see a decent home.

"The cherry girl is here, the humble house is shining" First, a loud, neutral voice came into the ear, and then, Wu Ye's sturdy figure walked in, with a kind and soft smile: "Jin Fu, why didn't you serve tea?" ”

Jin Fu responded and hurried to make tea.

Mian Tao smiled and said generously: "As soon as I came back, Wu Ye's house was really magnificent and not vulgar. I was lucky to be able to meet Cherry, so what is the brilliance of the flowers, Wu Ye should not laugh at us. As he spoke, he put a basket of eggs in his hand on the table: "A few days ago, I had to reach out to Wu Ye to help, and my uncle was able to overcome a difficult situation." The family has been busy for the past few days, and I haven't found time to come to thank you for a while. Our sisters' family is poor, and there are no good things at home, so I hope that Wu Ye will not dislike this basket of eggs. ”

Cherry sat quietly, and there was no room for her to speak. Besides, she can't say anything like this.

Wu Ye heard Mian Tao say this, and smiled: "Mian Tao girl is so eloquent, okay, I will accept your basket of eggs." If you think that my humble house can still be seen, you will come often in the future, I don't have anything else, a good pot of tea, and a stove in winter can still afford it. ”

"Wu Ye is polite, we are from a poor family, and we are dirty and dirty, we are lucky enough to come and open our eyes, how can we come often?" Mian Tao smiled and got up slightly: "No, it dirty the chair of Wu Ye's house." ”

Seeing that Cotton Peach got up, Cherry also quickly got up, it seemed that this was going to leave.

"What does this mean? Sit down, tea will come in a moment. Seeing the cotton peach and cherry get up, Wu Ye looked a little anxious, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to press lightly.

"No, no, if we drink tea again, I'm afraid our basket of eggs is not enough for tea." My family only has this basket of eggs, and there are no more. Mian Tao smiled, as if she was joking, and pulled Cherry's hand: "It's better to leave early, don't let Wu Ye be lazy." ”

Seeing that Mian Tao insisted, Wu Ye didn't force it, got up and said, "Even if you want to leave, I won't force you to stay." Mian Tao, Wu Ye still has a saying, if the door you set at home is not repaired, the one I ordered for you can always be kept in the warehouse and prepared. ”

"Hey, I see." Mian Tao walked out of the hall with the cherry and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Why is this leaving?" Jin Fuzheng brought the tea, saw the situation and hurriedly put the tea tray aside, chased after him, and opened the door for the two sisters. Wu Ye stayed at the door of the hall and sent it in the future.

"I'm leaving, I still have something to do when I get home." Cotton peach is polite

Jin Fu opened the door for the two, and the cherry feet had just stepped out, but they were catching up with Wu Ye's daughter-in-law who was returning from going out.

As the mother of two children, the woman who is running four quickly, looks like a thirty-year-old with skin and skin, and her figure is also very young. Seeing the cotton peach and cherry coming out of the courtyard, her eyes changed for a few moments, and she ignored Jin Fu, who greeted her, turned her head and continued to say something to her second son, as if she didn't see the cherry and cotton peach, and went into the courtyard.

"A quirky family." It wasn't until she came out that Cherry exhaled and said in her heart, the brick wall and tile house are comfortable, and it is warm to sit without a stove. When his family made money, he had to build two large tiled houses first.

"What are they doing? Anyway, we sent the thank you gift, and this matter is over. In the future, the two will not owe each other and will have nothing to do with each other. Mian Tao walked forward and said, "Just ask him to ask today, our door really needs to be replaced with a new one." Anyway, you have to change it sooner or later, so it's better to change it early, and earn a warm winter. ”

Just went to Wu's house, Wu Ye was very enthusiastic, but he didn't let Jin Fu call his two grandsons back. The daughter-in-law who just met him has such an attitude. So, what is the idea of Wu Ye being so enthusiastic? Cherry raised her head and quietly glanced at the cotton peach a few times, it seemed that the third sister already knew about it.

The two sisters, each with their own thoughts, walked along the path without saying a word.

"Sakura, cotton." A person suddenly flashed on the side of the road, and he was chattering.

"Brother Yuze?" Cotton Peach was thinking about things and was taken aback. Look at Miao Yuze again, wearing a robe wrapped in gold silk, a deerskin gray rabbit fur armor, and the crown is his family's ancestral old jade. Wearing it like this, it is delicate and handsome, but it is a little thinner, and I am afraid that it will be cold in such snowy weather. Coupled with his obviously embarrassed, but still forced smile, it was really awkward.

"Something?" Cherry raised her eyebrows, this guy, since he sold the yam last time, he has disappeared again. I don't know if he was afraid of the market gas on himself and Runsheng Akiyama, or if he had an epiphany that he was a son-in-law, and playing with them was an act of losing his identity.

"I ......" Miao Yuze half-lowered his eyelashes, his face was still the habitual smile, the winter sun sprinkled on his face, and the tip of his nose was shiny: "I found a job for Mi Tao." ”

"What job?" Mian Tao's voice suddenly rose a few decibels. Cherry also mentioned interest, it seems that he still knows each other very well, and knows that the true meaning of apology lies in apology. Last time, he clearly said that he would sell yams together on the second day, but he was good, and the shadow was gone.

"There is a rich family in the neighboring village, and there is an only daughter in the family. Spoiled and always disobedient. Her parents wanted to find her someone who could accompany her to run around the village, first, to have a caretaker, second, to be a companion, and third, to sharpen her temperament little by little. But this man changed one after another, and none of them lasted more than a month, so they all drove the daughter back. His father couldn't find the lieutenant chief, and the lieutenant of the village found my father again, so I thought of Sister Mi Tao, maybe only she can do it. Yu Ze told the story in detail.

"This job sounds like my second sister can do. So, how do you calculate the monthly money? Mian Tao is now the second leader in the family, and everything must be asked first, and she agreed to hand over all the star fruit to decide. But what she agrees to, star fruit generally agrees with.

"As long as you can stay there, you can pay one or two a month a month, plus food and accommodation. As long as you stay for a month, one full moon, people will make two new clothes. I also specifically asked, the annual leave is one month, the first half of the second half, so as not to delay the New Year. ”

"That's good," Cherry rubbed her hands, a little eager to try

"You can't go, that daughter is fourteen years old this year, four years older than you, how can you hold it? Mi Tao is okay, only one year younger than her, but her strength and body are here, and her temperament is also here. After saying this for a while, Miao Yuze seemed to let go a little, and the smile in his eyes became really deep.

"It's a good thing. When I get home, I'll talk to my eldest sister. Mian Tao thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Brother Yuze, thank you for still thinking about us." Why don't you go back with us? ”

"Nope." Yu Ze turned to look at the cherry: "I still have something to do with the cherry, you can go back first, and I will send the cherry home in a while." ”
