On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, early in the morning, Quandong put on a mule cart, and the Xu Miao sisters also made breakfast. Book Lovers Lou San Lang and Xiao Wu got up early to wash, everyone ate breakfast together, locked the door, and the family happily went to the county to buy New Year's goods.

Quanxi and Quanbei don't like to be lively, stay in the factory to rest, Quandong catches the car, Quannan sits in the car excitedly, and talks to San Lang and Xiaowu about what fun and delicious food there is in the county.

The winter is very cold, especially before the New Year, and this mule cart has no shelter, and it is really quite freezing. The four sisters and brothers all wore leather coats, and when the wind blew, they could almost penetrate it, after all, the sun was still covering in the clouds at this time.

Quannan was not idle, and talked about the past vigorously. Xiao Wu is young, listening with unblinking eyes, and occasionally excitedly asking a few questions that interest him. Saburo seemed calmer, sat aside, and listened quietly without squeaking.

Xu Ya was a little cold and kept rubbing her hands. Seeing this, Xu Miao reached out and hugged her in her arms to warm each other. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to wait until I finished building the house and bought a carriage, so that it would be easier to go anywhere.

This horse is more expensive than a mule, and the car is even more expensive than a cart, and it seems that this cost is not a small amount. Xu Miao thought of this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but she didn't feel so cold.

At two o'clock, the sisters and brothers arrived in the county, and as soon as they entered the county, they found it particularly crowded. San Lang and Xiao Wu have been studying in the town for a year, and the town is already very lively, but I didn't expect that this county is many times more lively than the town.

Quandong was in a hurry, obviously not so fast, there were a lot of people coming and going, if he really startled the mule, thinking of this, Quandong looked back at Xu Miao and said:

"Miss Xu, the mule cart can't go any further, let Quannan accompany you, what do you want to buy for him to carry, I'll wait for you at the West Gate." There are too many people, and it would be bad if they startled the mule and hurt someone. ”

When Xu Miao heard this, she looked at the pedestrians shuttling, thought for a while and nodded, took the lead in getting out of the car, and after hugging Xiao Wu down, she said:

"That's okay, at noon, I'll ask Quannan to bring food to you, it's hard work."

"Miss Xu is polite, this is what I should do. I don't need Quannan to send me food, there is a shop in Ximen, I can eat as much as I want, and I still like the food cooked by the two girls. After saying with a smile, Quan Dong drove towards the west gate.

Xu Miao looked at the crowd, thought for a while, and said, "Quannan, please pull Dian Xiaowu and take care of Dian Sanlang, I can't take care of it." ”

"Don't worry, Miss Xu, there is me." After Quan Nan finished speaking with great interest, he picked up Xiao Wu, sat on his neck, and pulled San Lang forward. Xu Miao looked at him like this, smiled and shook his head.

Quannan's personality is different from that brother, he likes to joke, basically the four of them are together, and the one who talks the most is Quannan, and the other three people listen. But the temper is also the worst, and you can compare with the other three people at every turn, but you are a brother, and you don't get distracted when you quarrel.

Xu Miao clenched Xu Ya's hand and followed behind Quan Nan, not daring to relax for a moment. She has been here in this county, but there were not so many people at that time, and it is understandable to think about it, after all, before the New Year, every household has to come out to buy New Year's goods.

At this moment, the streets in the county are all selling things, what couplets, window flowers, rouge gouache, head ropes, hairpins...... It's really everything, people come and go with smiles on their faces, a busy year, can finally have a good rest, a good year, this is the most gratifying.

Several people walked slowly all the way, and finally stopped at a place called "Miao Marriage Building", Quan Nan looked back at Xu Miao and said:

"Miss Xu, this shop is opened by the fourth sister-in-law of the fifth master, specializing in selling gold and silver jewelry, I know this shop."

The implication is that it can be cheaper.

Xu Miao smiled and nodded, and pulled Xu Ya to walk in first.

As soon as you enter the room, there is a counter in front of it, a closet behind the counter, and two chairs and a table on the left hand, which should be used for conversation. On the right-hand side is a staircase that leads to the second floor.

The room is very spacious, the cleaning is also very clean, and a shopkeeper and two juniors are all busy ushering in the delivery. During the Chinese New Year, families with conditions will come to buy some jewelry, and in case of something in the future, this can also be taken out for sale and emergency.

The Xu Miao sisters didn't have anyone to care about when they entered the house, they were all busy recommending things to others, and then looking at the clothes of those people, they were either rich or expensive. When Quan Nan entered the house and saw this situation, he roared directly with a cold face, and the people who originally looked at the gold ornaments all looked back to see what was going on when they heard the voice.

The shopkeeper looked at the person, hurriedly walked over, threw down the two buyers just now, clasped his hands into fists and bowed, and said as he walked:

"Ouch, it's Second Master Quan, what kind of wind blew you here, and what did Master Hou let you do."

Xu Miao looked at the shopkeeper with a wrinkled face who was smiling, and knew that this Quannan had a lot of influence, so he stood aside honestly, waiting to be served.

Sure enough, after Quan Nan said their identities, the shopkeeper came over enthusiastically as if worshipping a great god, saluted one by one, and said:

"Ouch, Xiao Ke has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, and he doesn't know that the girl is Miss Xu who is often talked about by her grandmother, disrespectful and disrespectful, the girl must not be strange."

Xu Miao looked at him, shook his head with a smile, and said politely:

"Shopkeeper Shen is serious, there are many people who buy things in the past, so naturally you are busy, you can understand."

Seeing that Xu Miao was so easy to speak, the shopkeeper nodded in response, made a "please" gesture, and said:

"Girl, please go upstairs, let's go to the second floor."

Xu Miao smiled and nodded, didn't take a few steps, his eyes glanced at the guest who was greeted by the shopkeeper Shen just now, thought for a while, stopped and said:

"Shopkeeper Shen, if you don't get busy with you first, the four of us sisters and brothers can go up by ourselves, and Quannan will take care of it, just come over after you are busy in a while."

When Shopkeeper Shen heard this, he naturally wanted to agree, but this matter was ...... Glancing at Quannan with a vague look in his eyes, the latter looked at him and sneered and said:

"Since Miss Xu has spoken, you can go busily, just come and serve in a while."

"Hey, hey!"

Shopkeeper Shen finished answering and greeted the guests in the past.

Quannan led Xu Miao and the others upstairs to the second floor, the space was similar to the downstairs furnishings, but the chairs and tables were obviously more upgrade, Xiao Wu looked at everything fresh, kept looking up at the roof of the shed, and then said excitedly:

"Eldest sister, look at his roof, let's build a house like this."

Xiao Wu's words made Xu Miao and the others subconsciously look up, I have to say that this roof is different from the roof of their house, theirs, you can see the beams when you raise your head, but this is not, it is very flat, similar to the modern roof, and it is also brushed with white ash.

Quannan glanced at it, pursed his lips, and said, "Look for Quanbei for this, that kid will do." ”

When Xu Miao heard this, he looked at Quannan in surprise, the last time he said that Quanbei knew how to build a house, at that time he painted his soul in his heart, a Jianghu person who traveled south and north, how did he know how to build a house, and now this Quannan said that Quanbei will also, it is really ......

Xu Miao finally couldn't suppress her doubts and asked:

"How did Quanbei know how to build a house? If you say so, he's probably good at building houses. ”

"Yes, that kid pondered it himself, and he learned it from an old man who was quite good, but he was the most unproductive." After Quan Nan finished speaking, he pouted, and after leading the four sisters and brothers to sit on the chairs, he also sat opposite Xu Miao, and continued,

"That kid, every day I wonder how to live a down-to-earth and comfortable life, Miss Xu, I won't hide it from you. At first, Hou Ye asked the four of us to come here, but I didn't want to come here, I didn't say anything about the excitement, and I had to watch the factory like a watchdog every day. ”

"But there is no way, the order given by the Hou Ye, after coming, the kid in Quanbei is rare to go to this place, what does he say every day that he doesn't have to run around, and what does he say that he feels at home, I don't understand it at first, but these days we are here in the tofu workshop every day, and I can still understand what that kid means."

After Quan Nan finished speaking, he scratched the back of his head innocently. Xu Miao watched his movements and nodded understandingly. In the final analysis, it is that Quanbei is tired of wandering and wants to seek a stable life. She once asked Quandong, except for Quanbei, who is twenty years old, and the others are all twenty-three or four.

This older person doesn't want stability, but the youngest of this age wants to be stable, and sometimes, this life is quite surprising. Xu Miao hugged Xiao Wu, looked at Quannan and thought for a while, and asked:

"Haven't you ever thought about getting married?"

"Marriage?!" Quan Nan exclaimed, then shook his head vigorously, and said, "Pull it down, get a woman by your side, and how can you break into the rivers and lakes." ”

Xu Ya, who had not squeaked all the time, frowned slightly after hearing this, and said, "Do you think you still have a chance to go to the rivers and lakes?" ”

"That's right!" Xu Miao also nodded and agreed.

The four sisters and brothers all looked at Quannan in unison, and suddenly looked at him a little overwhelmed, opened their mouths, and didn't know what to say for a long time. Xiao Wu stood up straight from Xu Miao's arms, looked at Quannan, and said:

"Second Master, you haven't taught me kung fu yet, you can't go."

After the little guy finished speaking, he looked at his second master with great arrogance, Quan Nan bit his lip a little embarrassed, and he really didn't know what to say for a long time. Xu Miao looked at him and shook her head gently.

"When you are old, you should start a family and stabilize, or when you are old, no one will go to your grave to burn paper." Xu Miao jokingly said, Quan Nan had a tangled expression, and he didn't know what he was tangled with.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and then I heard the voice of the shopkeeper Shen-

"Ouch, let the girl ......"
