"Sister, are you really not going with me?" At Granny Yan's house, Liu Ji is trying to persuade her to go to the town with him for the New Year.

"In previous years, most of them were in the village, but this year it was extremely cold, so I won't toss. Besides, didn't you live in the town before you came to Zhaojia Village? I can't help you clean up this and that when I go back with you? ”

Granny Yan sat on the edge of the kang, holding an embroidered bandage in her hand, and was embroidering flowers on it, she said disgusting words, but in fact, Liu Ji's home in the town for several years was cleaned up by her.

"Sister, I'll clean up by myself this year, if you go back to the town with me, I'll stay in the town for the New Year." Liu Ji still did not give up.

"Busy with you, don't worry about me, I'm also very lively here for the New Year." Granny Yan has no children, but her popularity in the village is not bad, and every Chinese New Year, there are always people in the village who send this and that, or invite her to eat at home. "When are you going to leave?"

"In the evening, there will be a carriage to pick me up at the entrance of the village, I should go back to the town first, and then I will talk about it." Liu Ji responded, and Granny Yan nodded, "Nacheng, I'll make you something delicious at noon." ”

——

"Cousin, it's too cold today!" Xing and Zhao Lian'er arrived in the town in a donkey cart, and Zhao Lian'er stomped her feet tremblingly, trying to warm herself up.

She deliberately wore more clothes before going out, and it took a lot of time to get from the village to the town.

"Let's go to the sheltered place in front of us and stand up, and then find someone." Xing proposed, Zhao Lian'er nodded, and found a sheltered place with her, and the two leaned together to keep warm.

"Lian'er, who did you listen to before? Is that a person who specializes in helping large families pick people, or is it to bring people outside? Through the face towel, Xing Shi blew a few mouthfuls of hot air into the palm of his hand and asked Zhao Lian'er.

She sometimes scratched the wounds on her face, if she didn't bring something, she really couldn't go out, and it was thanks to this layer of things that her face would not be blown painful.

"It should be the kind that picks people for big families." Zhao Lian'er's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head, so Xing didn't see it.

The sister-in-law shrank in this sheltered place for a while, and it didn't get much warmer, after all, it was still outside, if you really wanted to be warm, you had to get it in the store, but it would cost money, and Xing couldn't bear it.

"Cousin, I'll find someone in a while, negotiate the matter, let's go drink broth, shall we?" While walking, Zhao Lian'er proposed.

Xing Shi paused and did not speak.

"When I went home, I said that I was going to go, and my mother wouldn't scold you." Seeing that Xing's didn't talk, Zhao Lian'er said again, she repeatedly mentioned the broth, which provoked Xing's to swallow saliva, but in the end she couldn't resist it and agreed to Zhao Lian'er.

"It's this alley, right?" After walking for a while, he finally arrived at the alley that Zhao Lian'er had told Xing before, Xing looked around, only to feel that it was very deserted in broad daylight.

Before coming, Xing imagined where she would go, she thought that even if she was helping a big family, she would not be able to live in a very good place even if she was helping a big family to connect with her, and she was more generous than ordinary people.

But on the way here, just look at the places that pass around, and you know that the people who can live here must be no different, so when Xing arrived at the mouth of the alley, he didn't continue to go inside.

"This should be it." Zhao Lian'er has never been here, and she has seen everything that Xing has seen in her eyes.

It's just that compared to Xing's, she didn't seem to be very surprised, as if she had known that this would be the case here.

Xing Shi looked at her a few times, although she was strange in her heart, she didn't ask in the end, she raised her feet and walked towards the alley, and Zhao Lian'er hurriedly followed.

"Try knocking on this." After walking in the alley for a while, Zhao Lian'er suddenly stopped, stretched out her hand and pointed to a house with a pair of red lanterns hanging in front of the door, and a couplet was still pasted on the door.

Somehow, looking at this style, Xing always had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she hesitated.

"Cousin, then I'll knock it?" Seeing that Xing Shi did not move, Zhao Lian'er spoke again, and Xing Shi hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.

After a while, the door opened, and half of his face was exposed, looking at Xing and Zhao Lian'er at the door, "What are you doing?" ”

The tone of that half face was very impatient, and Xing even felt that the tone of his speech was also very strange.

"This ...... Xianggong, do you have someone to connect here? It is...... It's just that there is a little girl in my family who wants someone to take it away, but she doesn't want much money. No matter how weird he felt in his heart, Xing still opened his mouth.

"Little girl?" Half of the face in the door raised her eyebrows, looking at Zhao Lian'er, Xing Shi hurriedly blocked her behind her, "It's the little girl in my family, she will be five years old soon, although she is not very old, she can work when she is young, and she eats less." ”

"Five?" The door opened slightly, revealing the man's full face, "Come in and talk." ”

Xing and Zhao Lian'er glanced at each other, Zhao Lian'er gently pushed her, Xing hesitated, and entered the courtyard with Zhao Lian'er.

——

Towards evening, Liu Ji said goodbye to Granny Yan, left her house, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

"Mr. Liu?" A voice suddenly called him, Liu Ji stopped, turned his head and looked over, it was Shi Jin. She looked at the things Liu Ji was carrying, and was a little surprised, "Sir, are you leaving?" ”

"Yes, my sister will ask Jin Niangzi to help take care of one or two after that." Liu Ji nodded and arched his hand at Shi Jin.

"Sir is polite, thanks to Aunt Yan for taking care of me more, don't worry, but wherever I need help, I will definitely not refuse." Shi Jin said so, and Liu Ji gave up again.

After saying a few more words, the two went separately, Shi Jin was going to Granny Yan's house, so he met Liu Ji.

"Cousin, did you see it clearly?" Zhao Lian'er and Xing's went to the town, and only then returned to the village, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were walking, and suddenly Zhao Lian'er pulled Xing's hand and hid with her.

Shi Jin talked to Liu Ji and was looked at by his sister-in-law.

"That man...... It's the fortune teller I hired earlier. Xing frowned tightly, she thought that the fortune teller had already left, but she didn't expect that she was still in the village, not only that, but she seemed to be very familiar with Shi's.

Although Liu Ji has been living in Granny Yan's house these days, he hardly leaves the house, except for Shi Jin, who went to Granny Yan's house, no one else knows that Granny Yan's house has a fortune teller.

"How could they be so familiar?" After receiving Xing's response, Zhao Lian'er spoke again.

"yes, how could it be? Could it be that what the gentleman said before was a lie? Could it be that the sister-in-law taught it? But how did the sister-in-law know this gentleman? And when did you meet? ”

Xing Shi asked several questions one after another, but Zhao Lian'er did not respond, but her eyes became brighter and brighter because of Xing's question......
