He had already shown a sweet smile again: "Dad, mother, this is what you promised, and you are not allowed to change the hexagram in the future!" ”

She changed her face as quickly as if she hadn't been angry just now.

He Laosan was stunned, and smiled slightly bitterly, this little girl is really a ghost elf.

He Zao smiled on his face, but secretly thought in his heart, He Laosan and Chen's temperament, it seems that she will have to be more vigilant in the future!

The time to enter the city was quickly set, based on the fact that none of the children of the He family had entered the city and seen the world - before the separation, Mrs. He would not allow it at all, and after the separation, He Laosan discussed it with the Chen family and decided to let all four of them go.

Qibao was very excited, ran to the small box containing his money, and began to count the copper coins one by one to see how much pocket money he had saved.

He Chun'er also wanted Chen to go shopping, and persuaded: "Anyway, the county seat is not too far, and you can come back after going to the dark, mother, why don't you go with us?" ”

Chen is not a lively person, only waved his hand: "Don't go, there is a lot of work at home, you go to have fun, the poor are rich, but you have to prepare the money." ”

Half of the money in the third room is in the hands of He Zao, which is used as the capital of the business, and the other half is kept by the Chen family.

She went into the back room and took out ten taels of silver and handed it to He Laosan: "These should be enough." ”

He had already said: "I still have miles here, it's enough." ”

This time, they didn't go to buy things, but to see the rarity and understand the market.

He Zao also went up the mountain to ask Ah Che if he wanted to bring him something, but the latter only smiled and asked her to have a good time, and had no other requirements.

rented Huang Laohan's ox cart and walked to the county seat.

The ox cart walked very slowly, and at first Shippo was still looking at the surrounding scenery with great interest, but in addition to the mountains that were more than one person high, the road below was also potholed, and people were about to vomit blood, and their heads were sunburned as if they were about to shed a layer of skin, and Shippo soon lost interest in appreciating the scenery, and wore a straw hat to cover himself more tightly, and fell asleep staggeringly.

Even though they had set off early, the sun had risen early on a few days, and it was still very sunny.

There are also no tall trees on either side of the road to provide shade.

Sibao's face was flushed, his body was sweating, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw Qibao's appearance: "Qibao can still sleep!" ”

"He didn't sleep all night, and he was so excited that he tossed and turned on the kang like a pancake!"

He Zao also laughed.

Because of the difficult conditions, so in the countryside, it is very common for a large family to sleep on a kang, He Zao's house, four children are crowded in a room, only in the past two years He Chun'er and Sibao are also older, so only in the middle of the kang pulled a curtain, barely separated two spaces, open during the day, and then pull it up when sleeping at night, He Chun'er and He go to bed early, and Sibao sleeps there with Qibao.

Qibao relied on his young age, and sometimes rolled from under the curtain to He Zao's side, pestering the eldest sister and the second sister to play.

Last night, he rolled into the bed and refused to sleep, so noisy that He didn't sleep well.

Saying that, He had already yawned, squinted his eyes at the warm sun, and regretted that he should have ordered a carriage, this bullock cart without a canopy, basking in the sun for several days, don't get heat stroke!

An hour later, they finally arrived at Guyang City.

Guyang City is a small county, and from He Zao's point of view, because of its proximity to Huaiqing Mansion, Guyang City is not too well developed, but it is much more prosperous than a town.

Walking down the street, it seems to be a market day, and the streets are bustling with vendors on both sides, and they don't care about the heat, and they hiss all their best to attract customers.

He Zao's eyes were not enough to see, and Qibao had already been pushed awake, opening his mouth wide and looking excited.

He Laosan asked Huang Laohan to wait in a teahouse, and then he took a few children to find the place where Uncle He worked.

Uncle He has already written back to them and welcomes them very much. After hearing that they might enter the city in the morning, he told Sanfang where he had settled.

Before, the He family knew that Uncle He was begging for a living in the county alone, and it was definitely not easy, but no one expected that including Old Man He, he would actually help in the coffin shop!

Even He Zao, a modern person, opened his mouth into an O word after hearing about it.

This uncle is too maverick.

He Laosan discussed it with Chen, and agreed that if he told Old Man He like this, the latter would probably faint directly, so he hid it.

Therefore, this time when they entered the city, He Zao and they also had a very important purpose, which was to persuade Uncle He that even if he went home to farm, he would not work in the coffin shop, which was too unlucky.

Uncle He is not young, but he hasn't said anything about his daughter-in-law, if people know that he has worked in the coffin shop, who would dare to marry his daughter to him!

In a county town, there are only one or two coffin shops, black storefronts, gloomy atmosphere, three black lacquer coffins lined up at the door, looking very infiltrating, Qibao tremblingly pulled He Zao's sleeves and whispered: "Second sister, our uncle is really there?" ”

He Zao had actually never seen a coffin shop.

However, she has seen a half-finished coffin, which she calls grandma - that is, her grandfather's own mother, who has passed her 100th birthday, so the family has prepared a coffin for her early, and she deliberately did not paint it, I heard that the lacquered coffin is not allowed to be left at home, which will damage the yang energy of the family. The unpainted coffin has been placed in the main room, making it a unique sight.

When I was a child, I was ignorant and fearless, He Zao sometimes went to my grandfather's house with children to play, and when adults were not paying attention, they would hide in it and hide and seek, and later they were found and scolded severely, and then later, my grandmother died when she was one hundred and three years old, and the coffin was buried together. Grandma is disease-free, the people in the village say that she is lucky, and it seems that the older the person is, the more open he is, she once held He Zao's hand, chattered and pointed to the coffin and said to her: "In the future, too grandma, just sleep in here......" The wrinkled face, kind and kind, very calm.

"Third brother!" A slightly hoarse voice interrupted He Zao's musings, and she looked up at the young man running out of the store—in his early twenties, not tall, but unexpectedly handsome.

Uncle He has a pair of very energetic thick eyebrows and big eyes, fair skin, thin and thin, and looks like he is one or two years younger than Dabao.

"Yo, a few children are here, Zao'er, I heard that you made a lot of money around the scorpion at home?"

Uncle He looked at He Zao with a smile and a hearty expression.

He Zao has very few memories of his predecessor, but he also vaguely remembers that this uncle was very good to his nephews and nieces, so he showed a slightly shy smile: "It's just fooling, Qibao is a good hand around the scorpion." ”

Uncle He's big hand rubbed Qibao's head fiercely: "This kid has grown a lot taller!" ”

He looked handsome on his face, but the big hands like a fan still showed the characteristics of a poor man, with a lot of calluses, and a cut on the back of his hand, which seemed to be the scars left by the carpenter's work.

He is in the coffin shop, in fact, he is half apprentice and half buddy, helping the main family make coffins.
