Chapter Twenty-Six: Relatives in the Country

Nangang.

It is almost eight hours away from Beiman, not open to traffic, and has the same name as the surrounding towns and villages of Bingcheng, the difference is that it is close to the mountain, the mountain is lush with trees, and there are many woodmen in the forest farm who come to harvest, which also creates such a habitat.

When Xu Ruifeng arrived here in a hurry, it was exactly eight o'clock in the evening.

"Sixth uncle?!"

Wen Wan, who had already been numb on the way, jumped down directly on the donkey cart after her man parked the car, and shouted at the iron gate of the farmer's house in front of her.

Xu Ruifeng was very unhappy and reprimanded: "Tiger, you, don't you know how to slow down this heavy snowfall, what should I do if I fall?" ”

Maybe after a day of driving, the gentle temper also came up, and he shook his hand and replied: "It's okay, why are you so inked." ”

"Sixth uncle!"

After shouting twice, no one from the village owner who lit the lamp in the courtyard wall agreed, and Xu Ruifeng couldn't continue to quarrel with his daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly went into the house to warm up and asked: "Is it right for us to come to this place?" ”

Although Lao Xu spent money to buy Wen Wan, but, nominally, it is still called marriage, there is a matchmaker to come to the door, and there is a bride price, the only difference is that the old Wen family doesn't care what kind of person your groom is, even if it is a paralyzed person, as long as fifty silver dollars are delivered, Wen Wan will still marry with a hijab.

Therefore, Lao Xu came here when he picked up his relatives, but it was a little different from the place he saw in the moonlight today.

At that time, there was no courtyard wall about one person high, and there was no pigsty, chicken coop, or cowshed that could be seen from the iron gate.

"Sixth Uncle!!"

Syllable.

Wen Wan shook the iron door while shouting, it was impossible for her to remember the wrong place, even if the environment in front of her was very different from the beginning, but how could she forget the place where she had taken refuge.

Prosperous!

Want Want!

An old black earth dog in the courtyard heard the sound of the iron door and remembered to bark a few times, which was obviously used to seeing someone come to the door and was no longer serious, if it wasn't for the sound of the door, it was estimated that he would not be too lazy to crawl out of the den in the cold weather.

"Who?"

The door of the tiled house opened, and the old man with a cotton jacket on his shoulders walked out with a lantern, and shook his shoulders to put the cotton jacket on a tighter fit while walking.

At that moment, it was not only gentleness that was illuminated, but also his face.

"Sleeping?"

When Wen Wan asked, Xu Ruifeng could clearly see the sadness on the other party's face, but when the two of them were caught by the light, the old man slapped his thigh: "Oh, isn't this my eldest nephew's daughter and nephew's son-in-law." ”

Excitedly removed the door lock and hurriedly pulled open the iron door: "Why are you here at night?" ”

"Not welcome?"

"How can I be?"

The two of them were making trouble, Xu Ruifeng pulled the donkey cart to turn around and enter the courtyard, and shouted gently: "Big Tiger, Second Tiger, hurry up and move things, look at what delicious food my sister has brought you." ”

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Wen Wan was stunned at first.

The pigs in the pigsty, the cows in the cowshed, the chickens in the chicken coop, people have everything here, there are still snowy dung heaps in the yard, and there is a vegetable garden with yellow seedlings and wilting next to it.

Xu Ruifeng turned his head, and there was a big goose lying under his feet, which was screaming angrily.

Touch.

The door was pushed open forcefully, and it was all weather, and the two stick boys who were still wearing single clothes walked out of the room, and the two of them shouted sullenly after seeing Wen Wan: "Sister." Then he looked at Xu Ruifeng and was stunned.

They met Xu Ruifeng when they kissed, and it has been half a year, and it is normal not to know each other.

"Loser, I don't know what to call someone, that's your brother-in-law!"

Only then did the big tiger and the second tiger speak: "Brother-in-law." ”

Xu Ruifeng was not polite: "Come, take a hand." He picked up the pig's leg and put half of the pig on the shoulder of the big tiger, and gave the chicken to the second tiger, and the hunchbacked sixth uncle beckoned: "Hurry into the house, and let the donkey cart let your two younger brothers unload it for you, and quickly enter the house to warm up." ”

When the son-in-law came to his uncle's house, those who knew a little about personnel knew that they had to be treated as guests, in order to let their niece be valued and live a better life after she went back.

No, Xu Ruifeng was let to the kang, as soon as he entered the house, he knew why the big tiger and the second tiger were wearing single clothes, and the fire wall full of walls in the house was burning hot, and it was hot.

"Niece and son-in-law, why did you two come up at night and didn't pick a day?"

Wen Wan complained while unloading the scarf and ear bag: "I came here during the day, thinking about coming back to see before the snow melts, who knew that the sun would rise in the afternoon, and the mud along the way, the wheels were stuck in the pit twice." ”

"It's hard to walk on a snowy day."

Xu Ruifeng asked curiously: "Uncle, how did you make such a fortune as a person who built a house and set up a livestock pen?" ”

It's just a simple casual chat, Xu Ruifeng can't help but talk when he enters the house, but the sixth uncle obviously trembled his eyelids: "Hey, I'll talk about it later, what, haven't you two eaten yet?" ”

"Let's eat first."

"Big Tiger, Second Tiger, these two animals are not finished unloading the car."

"Niece and daughter, what do you want to eat? How about my uncle slaughtering a goose for you? ”

Wen Lao Liu walked to the outhouse as he spoke, and when he got outside, he didn't wait for Wen Wan to answer, and began to catch geese.

Xu Ruifeng and Wen Wan glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of doubts.

Fifty silver dollars can live like this in half a year, is this something that ordinary people can do? Wen Lao Liu really has this ability, when Xu Ruifeng came to pick up his relatives, as for living in a grass house?

Neither of them figured it out, turned their heads, the outhouse was busy, the big tiger and the two tigers were running back and forth in the two rooms, boiling water and plucking hair, and here they also made a bowl of tea for Xu Ruifeng and Wen Wan, and after a while, the tables in the house were put on, and the big tiger entered the house with a basin as big as a washbasin and placed it on the table.

"Nephews, sons-in-law, nephews and daughters, hurry up and eat while it's hot."

The big tiger and the second tiger scalded the wine, and Xu Ruifeng was polite: "Don't be busy, you won't drink." ”

The sixth uncle came into the house with a plate of pickles and a plate of peanuts: "How can there be a man who doesn't drink, we must drink some today." ”

Anyway, there was an atmosphere of the family together, and everyone gathered around the table.

The big tiger was not polite, and there was no one else in his eyes, so he picked up a goose leg and started to gnaw it, the second tiger carried two big bowls of chop rice, Wen Lao Liu was still a little eye-catching, and took out another goose leg from the basin and handed it to Wen Wan: "Niece and daughter, I look at this body, right?" ”

Wen Wan had a little shyness on her face: "It's been five months." ”

"Great joy, won't this old Xu family have a future?"

Stewed goose with potatoes, spacious tiled house, and full of livestock, the more Xu Ruifeng pondered, the more wrong it became, but at this time, Dahu had already picked up the wine bowl: "Brother-in-law, such a good thing, we have to take a sip." ”

The two of them stopped after a shallow taste, and Wen Wan really didn't hold back her words and asked again: "Sixth uncle, what's going on, I haven't been back for half a year, how has the family completely changed." ”

Wen Laoliu, whose face was a little ruddy, lifted the wine bowl and dipped his sleeve in his mouth: "Ah, isn't this a dowry gift from my nephew and son-in-law who took fifty silver dollars, and I will let your two younger brothers charter a forest farm." You don't know, foreigners are rare for us to have a mountain full of wood, and they pull it out of the mountain in a car, how do they understand that there is no number of wood in the mountain, and our family's money is like flowing water. ”

Burst......

Xu Ruifeng almost didn't go down to choke on a sip of wine!

He is a ground-sitting cannon in Beiman, and he knows too well what this forest farm is.

The forest grows on the mountain, for the wooden gang, this is a business without capital, and the work that can make money by making a mountain and hiring a group of coolies can fall into the hands of the common people? How many people in the rivers and lakes are worried about it, can it be your turn?

Wharves, forest farms, salt gangs, and horse gangs are all controlled by the Jianghu people, even if Lao Xu wants to make such money, then he has to exchange it with blood, these two stupid sons of your family are not enough for others to calculate, and they also charter the forest farm, so you have to collect a sum of money to let the silk in the mountains smash a kiln, and how much money is earned by others.

"Ah, that's pretty good." Wen Wan really didn't understand anything, how did Wen Lao Liu say that she believed it: "That day is over, is the next step left to marry my two younger brothers?" ”
