Probably in this life, as far as Chen Xiaohu is concerned, there is no more splendor seen at this moment.

The mud huts are thatched, the yard is full of messy firewood, and the clothes on the clothesline are still dripping with water.

An old hen with a flock of freshly hatched chicks is running around the yard.

The girl sat under the eaves of the sun, her black hair was like ink, her long dress was plain, the wind swept under her feet, and the skirt rippled slightly like water waves.

She seems to have come from Asgard, and she came here because she couldn't see the suffering of the world.

It is like a lotus flower blooming in the silt in the middle of summer, slim and elegant.

He has always known that his sister is good-looking and beautiful, and everyone has praised his sister for being good-looking since he was a child.

Since parting, he has never seen his sister's good-looking appearance.

Now, she sits under the simple eaves, like the first flower blooming in spring, which is unexpected and surprising.

"Little Tiger."

Lu Yangge got up and stepped forward with a smile, "I heard General Zhou say that you are here, so I came here." ”

Facing the smile like a flower, Chen Xiaohu nodded at Zhou Yang with a red face, and then grinned at Lu Yangge: "My sister is here, I only heard yesterday that you came to Nanyang, and said that I sold fish for money today to find you." ”

"Why do you have to sell the fish for money before you come to me?"

Lu Yangge was a little dissatisfied, "Can't you look for me if you don't have money?" ”

Chen Xiaohu was asked by Lu Yangge, and couldn't help scratching his head and laughing.

It's not that he can't find his sister, it's just that he habitually thinks that if he sees his sister, he has to invite her to dinner, not to mention eating and drinking, the kind of noodles with meat must always be served a bowl.

It's that he is too poor now, and he finally saved some money, and last month the mouse broke his leg again, and he saved 100 cents and spent it again.

Fortunately, my sister is not an outsider, and Chen Xiaohu did not hide it, so he simply took out the sixteen yuan in his pocket that he had just sold the fish in exchange and said: "I haven't sold the fish today, and I have sixteen yuan on my body, so I can't invite you to eat delicious food, but I still have the money to invite you to eat two baked cakes." ”

Lu Yangge has not experienced poverty, but Chen Xiaohu is so poor and frank, it is the first time she has seen it.

Seeing him stretch out his hand, generously revealing the sixteen copper coins in his palm that still smelled fishy, he couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing: "So much money, I don't want to eat baked cakes, Brother Xiaohu will buy me a string of sugar gourds." ”

"Okay." Chen Xiaohu smiled knowingly, "Then, just buy one bunch, and the rest of the money has to buy some rice for Zhou Quan." ”

Zhou Quan waved his hands in a panic: "No...... No...... No, buy food for my cousin, we won't starve to death if we don't eat one or two meals. ”

This is the case.

The young man standing behind Zhou Quanquan hurriedly pounded Zhou Quan with his elbow and said in a low voice, "How do you speak." ”

"I ...... I ......"

Zhou Quan seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly added, "Yes...... It's not starving, it's not starving. ”

Tyre......

It's better not to explain!

The smile on Lu Yangge's face grew bigger and bigger, and finally she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Brother Xiaohu, I only need three pennies to buy a sugar gourd, it won't affect your meal, right?"

………………

"Brother Xiaohu, is the sugar gourd delicious?"

"Brother Xiaohu, I don't eat sugar gourds, I just watch them eat them."

"Brother Xiaohu, do you have three cents for your New Year's money? Three dollars is enough to buy sugar gourds! ”

"Little Tiger Brother ......"

"Little Tiger Brother ............"

Lu Yangge's words reminded Chen Xiaohu of his childhood.

From the first New Year in Lujiazhuang, on Chinese New Year's Eve, uncle and aunt would give them the New Year's money, and even the two brothers of the Lu family felt that they were brothers, and they had to give him and Yang Ge a red envelope.

In fact, the red envelope of the New Year's Eve only contains a copper coin, which is just auspicious.

But for Chen Xiaohu, who was still very young at the time, four copper coins were tantamount to a huge amount of money.

One penny can buy two pieces of sweet brown sugar, and two pennies can buy a fragrant baked cake and a white flour meat bun......

Chen Xiaohu received the New Year's money of four cents and thought about their use countless times.

Four texts in one year, eight texts in two years, and twelve texts in three years......

He can save money to buy silk thread for his mother, or he can save money to buy a knife for his father. You can also save money to buy himself a bow and arrows, so that when he grows up, he can go hunting in the mountains with his father.

On the first New Year in Lujiazhuang, Chen Xiaohu's four cents bought the largest string of sugar gourds for his youngest sister Lu Yangge.

On weekdays, a string of sugar gourds for three pennies is always more expensive in the New Year.

Chen Xiaohu was actually reluctant, but his sister liked it, so he couldn't bear it, so he could only grit his teeth and buy it.

In this way, I got the New Year's money every year, and just after the fifth day of the new year, I was pulled by my sister to buy a sugar gourd.

And my sister's New Year's money, at first, I was reluctant to use it, so I saved it and put it in a box, and after the New Year, I would take it out and count it in front of him if I had nothing to do.

Counting and counting, the copper coins in the box were lent to him by Yang Ge under various pretexts.

For example, if my sister wants to eat pancakes, but he has no money, he can ask his sister to borrow it.

Buy a piece of baked cake, you and I will eat half and half of it. My sister eats half of the bigger, and he eats half of the smaller one.

For example, if my sister wants to eat brown sugar, she lends him money to buy two pieces, and the younger sister eats the larger ones, and he eats the slightly smaller ones.

"Okay."

Lu Xiaohu generously counted out three copper coins and threw the remaining thirteen to Zhou Sheng: "There are still fish that have not been sold, when the monkeys come back, you take the money to buy rice, and I will take my sister to buy sugar gourds on the street." ”

Zhou Sheng didn't expect that this beautiful girl was really Xiaohu's sister.

At this moment, his mind is very messed up, and he has been trying to remember, did he say anything excessive to this delicate and beautiful sister?

After receiving the money, even Chen Xiaohu and his sister didn't react for a while.

Zhou Yang sat straight on the chair, watching Lu Yangge and Chen Xiaohu talk, and watching the two walk side by side towards the city.

The two people are so close, and that tacit understanding can only be had when they grew up together.

Looking at the figures of the two in the distance, it seems that they can see more than ten years ago, a pair of children wearing red jackets and holding hands to buy sugar gourds on the street to eat.

Zhou Yang seems to have been completely forgotten by Lu Yangge.

Lu Yangge didn't even turn around to say hello to him, didn't tell him a word, and just left without looking back.

Sihai waited for a long time, but he didn't see Zhou Yang get up, so he could only step forward silently and clean up the silver wine pot that Lu Yangge had dropped and the two cups she had specially matched.

"Master."

Zhou Yang touched his nose and chuckled. Then his eyes fell on the wine jug in Sihai's hand, reached out to take it, and solemnly stuffed it into his sleeve pocket: "Let's go, go back to Beijing." ”

There is no point in staying here, Lu Yangge may think that he is not a bad person, but this is not bad, it is not enough for her to be willing to marry him.

Since there is nothing to be gained, then go back, go back to the capital, and ask the emperor if he can continue to go to the border.

Zhou Yang was looking at Lu Yangge, and Lu Yangge was looking at the road in front of him that was getting wider and smoother.
