Chapter 398: Contentment and Happiness

After a meal at Guan Xin's house, Guan Quan left them to live at home, Guan Wen said: "You don't have any extra accommodation here, so we won't stay more, rent a carriage with a faster journey, and we'll rush back to the village." "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Fa"

Guan Quan persuaded two sentences, and Li Xin said: "Fourth brother, don't be polite to us, your family has its own affairs, Ming'er, you and the fourth brother and sister are still busy, how can you have the leisure to greet us." Go and go about your business, and rest well in the evening. We're leaving. ”

Guan Quan couldn't keep them, so he didn't say more, and sent Guan Wen out of the house, but he wanted to help Guan Wen find a handlebar that was more familiar and had better horseback riding skills to send them back.

"I forgot to say thank you to my sister-in-law." On the way, Guan Quan smiled at Li Xin and said, "If it weren't for the sister-in-law who helped Yueying find a job, she would not be able to stay at home at this time." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "You husband and wife work hard, make a living in this town, there is always a little difference from our township, and there are more places to use money." Li Xin said: "You don't need to thank me for this, Yueying is diligent and careful, and she can work in the Shen family's workshop for a long time, which is also her ability." ”

Guan Quan didn't say more, found a handlebar type parked at the entrance of the town and said a few words to the people, and after negotiating the price, he stuffed the money in his arms before Guan Wen paid for it.

"Fourth brother, this can't be helped!"

"Nothing to do." Guan Quan stopped Guan Wen, asked the handlebar to put away the money, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have to send my eldest brother and sister-in-law back safely!" ”

The handlebar style smiled: "Okay! ”

"Big brother, aren't you in a hurry to go back? I won't keep you either. Guan Quan turned around and pushed Guan Wen: "Big brother, quickly help your sister-in-law and sister to get into the carriage, and I'll go back." ”

After speaking, Guan Quan walked back quickly, and waved his hand to Guan Wen when he turned around: "Big brother, go back!" Don't worry about me! ”

"Fourth brother!"

Guan Wen wanted to chase, but he took two steps but was stopped by Li Xin: "Forget it." Looking up, Guan Quan had already gone a little far.

"The carriage and horse fares can't be as clear as your four brothers." Li Xin said: "It's hard to refute his face." ”

"This sister-in-law is right." The handlebar smiled and said, "This big brother, get in the car, your brother said that he would send you back before it gets dark!" ”

Guan Wen was helpless, so he had to help Ah Mei and Li Xin get into the carriage first, and sat on the wheel with the handlebar style.

The carriage clattered to Lotus Village.

The excavation of the cellar proceeded smoothly. Guan Wu and Feng Defa came to help from time to time, coupled with the diligence of the master and others, two or three days of hard work.

Guan Wen still went to pick up the stone slab in the stone field and came over for the master to spare. Guan Wu was busy checking whether there was anything on the trail that he hadn't taken care of, and by the way, he and Feng Defa cleaned up the dirt and weeds around the trail, and on a whim, he told Xing'er that he wanted to repair the handrails on both sides, which made Xing'er white: "What are you doing with those ghosts, it's good." ”

Guan Wu scratched his head: "It's not that I think that when your belly gets bigger, you can take a walk here or something." Is there a handrail to protect it......"

"Blame."

Xing'er said that he was very happy in her heart, touching her slightly bulging belly, which was as sweet as eating honey.

Ah Mei has not been going to the Gu family to chat with her little sister recently, because someone has been working here recently, and she also helps Li Xin to clean up the big pot of food, otherwise Li Xin will not be able to work alone. Fortunately, Yang'er is very well-behaved, and his father and mother are very busy. Not only did he not come to interrupt, but he also took the initiative to rub his legs and shoulders for the old man, and wrote with a well-off person. I can also fill my schedule.

After digging the cellar and laying the bottom, the master began to prepare for the capping.

“…… This is a courtyard dam on the end, not too wide, although this base is well played, but there are too many people, or the force is too large, I am still afraid that it will collapse. The master said, "But this is generally unlikely, and you don't need to be anxious." This cellar is not too big, and it is enough to store some rice, vegetables, and meat. You don't have much family. ”

Li Xin nodded, Guan Wen looked at the mountain, and said, "It also depends on this place, there is no too spacious flat land." ”

"That's good." The master said, "I think your mountain is very good, and you can collect enough firewood and catch game." The mountains can also be cultivated and cultivated. You can grow some grains and vegetables. The old master took a puff of dry tobacco: "People say that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, and eat wherever they depend." Where there is a field, there is a farmer, where there is water, there is a fisherman, and there are mountains—"

"That's Yamano Villager." Guan Wule took a sentence, and the old master laughed: "This sentence is good!" People, the most important thing is four words, contentment and happiness. ”

The old master took another puff of dry tobacco and spit out smoke rings into the sky, and there was a smell of smoke when he spoke. It doesn't smell and has a faint scent of grass.

"People are very good all their lives, no one knows if anyone will burp one day, and the most important thing is to live happily. Like me, at this age, I don't want to do anything, my children and grandchildren have their own affairs, and I can't walk or walk, it's better to come out and live, earn some money, eat enough at every meal, and smoke when I find a free time, which is good. ”

The workers present all laughed, and Wuyue said in a bright voice: "Master, you are bragging about your way of life again!" ”

"Go to the stinky boy, I'm wise!"

The old master laughed twice, pointed at the five jumps, knocked on the ground again, and said, "Hurry up and work, I'm here, don't be lazy!" ”

Five Jumps giggled, and the men all made a tsk sound towards Five Jumps. Wu Jump didn't feel embarrassed, jumped up and circled around the master twice, and said: "Master, you have the smell of smoke on your body, beware of your great-granddaughter saying that you are 'stinky' and won't let you hug you!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and the old master was ashamed, stretched out his cigarette stick and jumped five times: "Nonsense!" My great-granddaughter is the most well-behaved! ”

Li Xin looked interesting, and took a basin of clothes to the southeast corner of the courtyard to hang it up.

The original rabbit shed was demolished by Guan Wen and installed directly on the chicken shed. After selling the white and gray rabbits, Li Xin didn't plan to raise them anymore. As for the hen shed, except for two or three hens that had just begun to lay eggs, the rest were some half-sized chickens, and a few large roosters. The old hen that Li Xin asked Ah Mei to buy back at the beginning had already entered the belly.

While she was drying her clothes, Apricot walked over from the side of the path, holding a basket on her arm.

"Looks like someone is coming." Xing'er walked to the courtyard, walked straight over and said to Li Xin, "I went back to the house just now." I saw a carriage coming from the east. ”

"Oh." Li Xin responded: "Whose family are you looking for?" ”

"I don't know, but it's coming from us."

Xing'er poked her head: "Listen." ”

Li Xin also stopped his movements and listened carefully.

Indeed, apart from the sound of jokes, there was the sound of a car spinning on the potholed ground.

"Bh. Do you see the shadow of the car? Xing'er stretched out her hand and pointed outside: "The shadow is sufficient, I can't see it clearly, but I can still see that it's a carriage." ”

Li Xin dusted off the clothes that had been dried, smoothed out the lines, and then looked over there along Xing'er's hand.

Although there were trees and bamboos, Li Xin could see clearly that there was indeed a carriage parked in front of him.

"Who are you looking for?" Xing'er pondered, "If you come from that direction...... Probably from the town, right? ”

Li Xin replied noncommittally. He said, "I don't know." ”

However, soon Li Xin knew.

Two little girls quickly climbed up the slope.

"Isn't this - big chick two chicks!" Li Xin cried out in surprise.

Ah Mei quickly ran over, and when she saw that it was the eldest girl and the second girl, she exclaimed in surprise: "The eldest girl and the second girl, why are you here?" Then he immediately looked down the slope: "What about your father! ”

The big girl winked and said, "Mother is behind." ”

As he spoke, Ah Ho had already come up from the slope.

Compared with the last time Li Xin saw her, Ah He's face was much better, and it can be said that her face was full of red light at this time, which shows that she is living a good life. Look at the clothes of the three of them, the mother and daughter, it is also clean and simple. The material is not the best, but it looks much better than before.

This undoubtedly shows that Aha's life is the difference between heaven and earth compared to before!

Meet Li Xin. Ah He looked very excited, stepped forward and shook Li Xin's hand, but forgot Ah Mei aside, and looked a little choked up when she spoke to Li Xin: "Sister-in-law......" Ah He screamed and snorted: "I haven't come back these days, and I haven't sent a letter, sister-in-law won't blame me, right?" ”

"Third sister, what are you talking about?" Li Xin also grabbed Ah He's hand, looked at Ah He and then at the eldest girl and the second girl, and turned his head to look down the slope: "Why are you alone?" What about you? ”

"He's going to cook a noodle shop at home. Can't come. Ah He rubbed his eyes, then looked at Ah Mei, looked Ah Mei up and down, and said with a smile: "Ah Mei is taller again, the third sister can't recognize it, it's really a big girl." ”

Ah Mei also seemed very excited and called the third sister. led the eldest girl and the second girl.

"Second sister-in-law." Ah He also called out to Xing'er, Xing'er nodded, and said with a smile: "I also said who came, the carriage stopped in front of us, it turned out to be my own family." ”

Ah He smiled and said, "Yes, my family has come back to see my family." ”

Guan Wu and Guan Wen also came over, and Ah He naturally cried with joy again.

Li Xin beckoned her to the hall, and asked Ah Mei to fetch water for her third sister to wash her face, and everyone in the Guan family entered the hall.

Guan Wu first asked: "Ah He, why did you come back alone, what about you who is in charge?" ”

"The noodle shop business needs him to take care of it, and he can't come back."

Ah He smiled at Guan Wu, and when he saw Guan Wu carefully sitting with Xing'er in his arms, he sighed in his heart: "My sister-in-law asked someone to bring me a letter, and I knew that my second sister-in-law was pregnant." It's just that the noodle restaurant business was too busy at that time, and I couldn't leave, so I didn't have time to come back to say hello to my second brother and sister-in-law. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Guan Wu said with a big grin: "It's not too late for you to give it now." ”

"Awu!" Xing'er glared at him angrily, and Ah He said with a smile: "Second brother is right, I'll give the same thing now." ”

As she spoke, she started to dig out from the baggage she had placed on the table. (To be continued) RQ
