But these are the things he can't ask or say.

Li Zhensheng took a deep breath and solemnly promised, "Don't worry, Master Hou, you pave the road and leave the rest to me, it just so happens that I have been in business in Xindu for more than ten years, even if I follow the caravan south, no one will suspect it, I just think that I have returned to my old business......"

Hou Ye nodded, "Okay, eldest brother will recover well and recover as soon as possible." The road is long, and the preparations that need to be made are all prepared. When I've arranged it here, I'll talk to my eldest brother. ”

Li Zhensheng got up to say goodbye, thought about it, and said: "Don't tell my mother first, the old man is afraid that he will be reluctant to me, after all, I just came back not long ago, and I have to leave again." ”

"Okay, don't worry, big brother." Hou Ye should go down.

Li Zhensheng went out with a heart full of complications, Jiayin and a few naughty children ran back from the construction site, the snack box in their hands was empty, and they all ate like little cats.

Like a little wild horse, the cat brother ran up to him and shouted, "Daddy, I want this box for my baby." ”

"Whose box is this?" Li Zhensheng wiped the sweat beads on his son's head, and hugged his smiling little niece again.

Jia Yin replied crisply: "It's Uncle Dashan who gave us the leftover box of snacks." ”

"Okay, if you like it, take it. Do you like it, Uncle will go into the city another day and pick a better one for you? ”

"Uncle, I don't want it, I have a treasure chest, it's bigger than my brother's." Jiayin hugged the uncle's neck and proudly raised his chin at the cat brother.

Brother Cat yelled angrily, "I'll go find grandma, and I want a big box too." ”

Mrs. Li is busy digging the kang hole, this summer, several large kang shops in the house have to continue the fire from time to time, warm up, save sleeping too cold.

Although it is enough to use a handful of firewood every time, after a long period of accumulation, there will be more firewood ash.

Clean it thoroughly before winter, and burn it after winter.

She had a coarse cloth towel wrapped around her head, a dustpan in her hand, and a black streak under her nose.

At first glance, it looks like an island devil stealing landmines.

Seeing that her children and grandchildren came back noisy, she smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth, "I heard you arguing from afar, are you hungry?" I'm done cooking! ”

Li Zhensheng and the children were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Jiayin even laughed back and forth, which made Mrs. Li confused.

She didn't know what was going on, so she gestured to raise her hand and wiped her face twice, and as a result, she was even more embarrassed.

Li Zhensheng put down his niece, took the dustpan in his mother's hand, and urged with a smile, "Mother, go take a bath, I'll do these chores." ”

Mrs. Li didn't refuse, pulled her headscarf and slapped her body while going to the ear room.

After such a fuss, the reluctance and complexity in Li Zhensheng's heart were completely gone.

For the sake of this family, there has always been laughter, and for the sake of the old lady who gave birth to him, he must seize this great opportunity no matter what!

It is easy to work when there are many people, and it is good to eat when there are few people.

Gathering the strength of the whole village, the school was built almost in a few days, and the whole village came to join in the fun.

The village chief was also happy to close his mouth, and the master gave out more than a dozen catties of snacks and sprinkled half a dustpan of copper coins.

At this time, the family is busy, but the children are always free.

The children of the three villages, Dahuashu and Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang, heard the movement and ran to play, so they naturally got snacks and grabbed a few pennies.

When I went back in the evening, I was discovered by my family, so I had to ask a few questions.

As a result, the school was built in the new village, and the news that all the children in the village were sent to study and learn to write and calculate was spread by everyone.

Some people are envious, some people say that the new village is burned with more silver, but more people are tempted and want to send their children and grandchildren to the family, get some light, and learn some skills.

But it was not easy to say this, and the discussion came and went, and it dragged on.

On this side of Broken Gold Beach, everyone doesn't know this.

They were busy installing doors and windows for the school, building kangs, and building tables, chairs and benches, which were no easier than building houses.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, the first snow of winter finally fell.

The little snowflakes melted almost before they hit the ground, as if it were raining.

This reminds people of all ages of Shimizu Village.

There are four distinct seasons throughout the year, with strong winds in spring, thunderstorms in summer, dryness in autumn, and heavy snow in winter.

Although I am now settled in Broken Gold Beach, fed and clothed, and everything is going well, I still think about my hometown where I grew up at such a time.

The Li family is from outside the Saiwai, where snow flies most of the year.

For such a light snow, it is even more unsightly.

Mrs. Li sat on the kang, sewed cotton clothes with Dongmei, pushed open the window and looked, "Although the fine pieces under the snow are really not the same, the customs can't be lost." Let's make noodles in a while, chop the stuffing, and make dumplings at noon. ”

Dongmei also knew that there was a custom of eating dumplings in the early snow in the north, so she smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go to Xiaowangzhuang to buy pork, buy a few stick bones by the way, and boil some bone broth for Miss to drink at night." Yesterday, Miss and Brother Cat lost the competition, and she was so angry that she could hang a soy sauce bottle in her mouth, and she was afraid that she was looking forward to growing taller in her heart. ”

Mrs. Li laughed when she heard this, "Children are like this, don't spoil her, this girl is the best at climbing the pole, I'm afraid she will have a temper in the future." ”

While they were talking, a carriage stopped outside the gate, and the two hurried out, and before they could see the comer, they heard Jiayin shouting happily, "Uncle Butler!" ”

It turned out that the chief butler personally led the carriage to deliver things, and he picked up Jiayin and smiled like a flower.

As soon as he saw the old lady, he hurriedly saluted again, "Old lady, I heard that there is a custom of eating dumplings in the snow in the north, no, it just happens that there is fresh pork at home, so I sent a little over." ”

As he spoke, the two little stewards who followed him lifted things down.

Not to mention the rice, flour, grain and oil, only the pork was sent with two Houji, four big five-flower, and four pig's trotters.

That's too much, what a little bit!

The big housekeeper was afraid that the old lady would not accept it, so he said with a smile: "In the morning, the Hou Ye went back to the Hou Mansion, I took a closer look, and I was really happy!" Speaking of which, Hou Ye is here to recuperate, but it's really right, Hou Ye has not only gained weight, but his complexion has also improved. ”

When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly responded: "Family, it is appropriate to take care of a little more at such a time, but I don't know when the Hou Ye will come back, can I catch up with the dumplings at noon?" ”

"The Hou Ye wants to enter the palace, I'm afraid the emperor will stay for dinner."

"Then let's make dumplings first, wait for Master Hou, if he doesn't come back, I'll leave him a curtain, and it's easy to cook it now."

As they spoke, they carried everything in.

The old lady asked Uncle Zhao to ask them to help, divided the pork, and each family gave a piece, seven or eight taels, although it was not much, it was enough to make dumplings.

Not to mention that everyone in the family made dumplings lively, but in the palace, the Hou Ye accompanied the emperor out of the imperial study, standing under the eaves of the corridor, looking at the light snow falling in the sky, and exhaled a long breath.
