Xu Youcang squatted in the snow, using snow to clean the fur shoulders he wore outside.

And inside the fur shoulders of the wild boar skin, Xu Youcang should have had a black cotton coat. At this time, the layer of living clothes was covering the ten-year-old boy. The copper plate earned from the bath was also given to the other party.

After cleaning Pikan's shoulders almost clean, Xu Youcang stood up and got into the car.

The three boys followed.

Xu Youcang didn't look at them, he just said, "Let's disperse", and drove away, and everything he could give was gone.

However, three emaciated boys, dressed in straw sandals with indigo straw bales, kept running behind the car.

The little one was wrapped in new clothes and staggered a few steps, until he was stopped by the officials of Xishan Town with a knife, and the three boys still stubbornly looked at the car shadow through the knife and shouted, "Uncle, uncle......

In the hearts of the three boys, Xu Youcang is a rare light in life.

was detained, not only did he not send them to prison to serve in forced labor, but he also helped them.

threw the medicine money for the eldest sister to save her niece, and took them to take a hot bath in this cold winter, which was never so warm and clean, and bought cakes and gave the younger brother a coat.

Now the only light they have seen is gone, and they are reluctant.

"Second brother, the benefactor is gone, but we don't know where he is from. In the future, when I grow up, I don't know where to pay it back if I earn money."

The sixteen-year-old boy's name was Dapeng, and he looked first at his younger brother and then into the distance and said:

"How could you not know? Besides, we've grown up, so why wait?

The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, the uncle is like regenerating parents, according to the morality of the rivers and lakes, we should change our words to be called father.

And if we don't have money, we should pay it back with all our might. I have already received the uncle's money, and now I have to repay the favor, go!"

The three boys immediately had a direction.

The backyard of the restaurant in Xishan Town.

The shopkeeper interrupted first, "Who do you call uncle? No one is two years older than you. It's just that you have more than you have the ability to do, and you have passed through more things."

Then he was told:

"That's Xu Sanshao from Erdaohe Village, Linzhen.

Not only has cooperation with our restaurant, but also has a solid relationship with the owner of the porcelain kiln.

So what do you help with? The Xu family greeted some people rushing to work, which one of you can afford to climb. Don't think it's like taking a few of you in the shower.

Come on, for the sake of Xu Sanshao's face, the big one, yes, just say you, the bathhouse thinks you don't have the strength to want you, you will come to the backyard of the restaurant tomorrow to do chores.

In the words of your uncle, bah, it is the eldest brother, it is serious to hurry up and earn a few copper plates to spend this winter."

Xiao Er also pouted and muttered in disgust, saying that he was sixteen years old, how could he look like twelve or thirteen, no one wanted to do odd jobs, it was purely to see Xu Youcang's face.

Dapeng didn't say anything on the surface, but when Xu Youcang was rushing home, he was busy until late at night for two consecutive days.

The brothers secretly went out of the city and hid in a cave, busy collecting firewood.

The ten-year-old one still knows how to take off the good clothes given by Xu Youcang and leave them for his niece. He was reluctant to wear it.

My niece is only a year old, and this big dress can wrap several layers to keep warm.

Then, when he returned home, he gave twenty steamed cakes to his eldest sister and niece, leaving ten.

On weekdays, the eldest sister of the three boys earns copper plates by pulping and washing clothes, and she doesn't earn much.

Because on the one hand, Xishan Town is not prosperous, and there are not so many merchants here who need people to do laundry. The second is that he can't afford to buy soap horns, so he can't do it alone if he can't wash it cleanly, so he can only tie his daughter with hemp rope and go to the big car shop to earn help money for pulp laundry. Everything is provided by the store, and the woman can do her best.

The three boys announced to the eldest sister:

"We're going to find a noble uncle, and we can't take two of his dollars for nothing.

Eldest sister, you can rest assured to give Niuniu medicine.

We will eat less and work harder, and we will help our benefactors work for a few months before we return."

The woman carried her crying daughter on her back

The three brothers said, "Come back alive."

"Yes!"

Three and a half children carry a bunch of cabbage gangs and ten steamed cakes on their backs, have an uncle in their hearts, take their feet as horses, and dare to cross mountains and mountains without a road guide, and set off to the place where their hearts want.

——

It was ten o'clock in the evening when Xu Youcang arrived home, which made him hungry.

This scares his mother.

Mrs. Xu's eyes widened in surprise, and she found that San'er's clothes had been ripped off:

"Did you encounter a robber on the way?"

Then without waiting for an answer, she pushed the third child away, and Mrs. Xu hurriedly pushed the door and ran outside to see if the cow was still there, and rummaged through the things on the ox cart to see if they were lost.

The brothers of the Xu family turned their heads to look out of the door: "......"

See, they are not as important as Lao Niu in the eyes of their mothers.

In fact, how is it possible, this is not a person standing there well, Mrs. Xu is in a hurry to see the cow. If people are good, they are afraid of losing their wealth.

"Third brother, what's the matter?"

Xu Youcang replied briefly: "When I meet a little brother who is worse than our brother at the beginning, reach out and do a little favor."

Seeing Mrs. Xu coming back, Xu Youcang, who was very able to endure hardships, took the initiative to say for the first time, "Mother, I want to eat white rice, white noodles, white steamed buns, and white boiled water."

He was a little hungry and felt like he could eat a cow.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly asked the second child to make instant noodles for San'er, and what to eat was not as fast as that.

"Mother, that one still has to be sold for money."

Xu Youcang struggled in his heart, fried noodles were expensive, and it would be too wasteful for him to eat too much.

"What's expensive? Where will I give you a whole white steamed bun, and the white rice guests are eating. Don't make trouble for me, I've just rested for a while, who has time to cook for you. Hurry up and have food in your stomach to warm up."

So the drinkers who didn't end smelled the fragrance of instant noodles and hurriedly asked Xu Laosi what it was called.

Liu Laozhu also followed the fragrance and found it.

As soon as they met, Liu Laozhu sighed from the bottom of his heart: "If your mother doesn't work hard to earn money, she can't afford to support your brothers. My God, instant noodles with a basin, can you finish it? Give me a bowl."

The donkeys in the town administration did not dare to eat in such large quantities.

"Uncle Lizheng, did my second brother send the porcelain jar back to the village?" Xu Youcang hurriedly brought out a bowl of noodles for Liu Laozhu.

"I sent it back, it wasn't sent by your second brother, it was sent by my family Jingdong, don't worry." At the moment, the village should be busy with the charge. By the way, I see that the bottle is still the same with the painting, how can you take it when you get to Xishan Town?"

It's a private customization, don't you have to do it?

Xu Youcang smiled when he heard this:

"This means that our own family doesn't take that medicine seriously, but the owner of the porcelain kiln is a treasure. Last time, Lao Sibai gave him a few, and this time he said that it was such a good medicine, and he guessed that as long as there were customers, it would be sold. So after making the medicine, I told the master to make the porcelain jar and prepare. He also said that if I don't pick it up for the next two days, he is going to send someone to deliver it, and he guessed that we will replenish the stock."

Xu Youcang also went out this time to realize the value of "chrysanthemum nectar".

The owner of the porcelain kiln said one by one: your family will be due to wealth and not only wealth. Look at it, if this medicine can be sent to the right person, and there is fate to send it to the hands of the noble people in need, it's okay.

He also said that no matter how valuable a person is, he still has to eat whole grains and grains, and he can't do without the medicine he urgently needs. This is the reason why the capable Taiyi and Langzhong will be popular in all dynasties. As long as it is good, it is hard to find.

Liu Laozhu was very embarrassed after hearing this: "How do I feel, it seems that the silver is chasing Tian Xin's girl and sending it into his pocket. She just buys a few books and flips through them to make money."

It should be that luck can't be stopped, otherwise it won't make sense.

Because of Liu Jingdong, he has turned over a hundred books, and it is difficult to read a name.

Some time ago, he called Wang Daye wrongly, and this morning he went home to the academy for a complete winter break, helped his mother collect the accounts, read one of the names and said that it was called playing with my bird, and he was so angry that he was not sleepy after staying up all night. Play with your birds, and pinch your chickens, that special mother's name is Wang Yuan goose. The famous big moth in the village woman, you goose

Auntie.

Liu Laozhu thought of his two sons who were inverted, and he panicked, and eating instant noodles was not fragrant.

persuaded himself again, but fortunately, he asked Tian Xin in private about the magic weapon of luck.

Tian Xin's girl didn't hide anything at all, and told him.

Tian Xin said that the big red autumn pants were worn, and the luck was not ordinary, well, he was wearing them.

"Uncle Lizheng, there are guests who want to buy a lot of honey, come quickly."

Liu Laozhu held two instant noodles in his mouth: "......" Hmm, look at how powerful this magic weapon is. I was thinking about it, and here came the deal.

In the future, if he wears red autumn pants every day, he will not be able to embark on the road to success from now on?

Liu Laozhu hurriedly poured the soup and noodles into his mouth and wiped his mouth with his hands.

Then he deliberately lifted the red autumn pants up, stuffed the short cotton jacket into the autumn pants, and pretended that he didn't pull his clothes to reveal a red edge in the thatched house.

Liu Laozhu even has a red rope. This is called if a man wants to be handsome, and the autumn pants are tucked into the waistband of the trousers. He was afraid that the trade would be yellow and that he had to be suppressed.

After a long meal, he ran to sell goods with his two calves tight.

And the bad little son who was nagged by Liu Laozhu before is experiencing a bad thing at this time.

The bottles and cans are in place, and the girls under Xu Tianxin have to work overtime tonight to charge the medicine.

Xu Tianxin passed by the door of Widow Zhang's house, thinking of calling Chunni, who was working, that is, Widow Zhang's eldest daughter, out and letting her go with her.

I don't know if it's too late or what, but I happened to see Grandma Hao Yinhua's man next door, Yu Jiaba, being beaten by Widow Zhang with a broomstick.

And I also heard Widow Zhang scolding:

"Let's pull it down. If you dare to climb over the wall and sneak into my house again, I will show this face, kneel down and apologize to your daughter-in-law, and if you don't look up in the future, you will go to your daughter-in-law to talk to her, and let her break your runaway legs. Anyway, my eldest daughter can make money, even if I am sunk in the pond, I can rest assured that these children, there is nothing to close their eyes, save people and ghosts, what do I have to be reluctant to die? You see if I dare to do what I say!"

Yu Jia was scared away.

When running out of the yard, Xu Tianxin was dragged behind the wall by Liu Jingdong.

Xu Tianxin looked at Liu Jingdong in surprise and asked with his eyes, why did you come with you?

Liu Jingdong is not good at studying, but he knows his relatives very well.

He thought that he was Xu Tianxin's uncle according to his generation.

In the evening, Xu Tianxin went to the west of the village to call for people to work, and the location was very remote. A little girl's family can't be afraid to walk at night? And he followed.

He Cheng wants to hear this kind of flowery thing.

However, the matter was not over, and Yu Jiaba ran away without closing the door.

Xu Tianxin and Liu Jingdong clearly heard outside that Widow Zhang, her three daughters and one son were hugging and crying.

Chunni's cry was the loudest:

"Mother, I thought you were a serious person at the root.

I hated you, why can't I keep it, and I look down on you again and again in my heart. Swear never to be you.

I even hated you for giving birth to me, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to beat him away.

Even I used to think that you were eccentric, and often beat and scolded us for your work, but you were only good to your younger brother. Lately, he hasn't beaten us anymore.

Mother, do I want to stubble? Then I've hated you for so long, what the hell are you hating?"

Zhang's widow's surname is Zhang, and she is the "Shi Zhenxiang", actually called Zhen Xiang. People in the village love to give people nicknames and forget her original name.

Widow Zhang hugged her daughters and cried, not knowing where to start explaining. As a mother, I don't feel like I have the face to explain.

The first time she and Yu Jiazhu were semi-forced, and the location where her family lived was very remote.

In recent years, the harvest has not been good, and the harvest of the previous year was even worse.

When Yu Jiaba said that he would give her twenty copper plates each time, what she thought about was that the four children couldn't even eat half full, and what should she do if they could only have wild vegetables to eat in the winter until the beginning of spring next year.

As for beating her daughters, she dragged it out, and she really couldn't do the work at home.

Crop work, adult men can't stand it, not to mention girls who don't have much strength, there are no lazy children, she has no choice but to urge the helpers to work. The family is poor, if you are not diligent, what will you do in the next days?

Of course, there are also reasons for her to vent her emotions when she hits the child.

Ever since the man left this mess and died, she looked at the four-and-a-half-year-old children and then at the grain bags, and there had never been a light in her heart.

The children will only ask, mother, what to do with the next meal, where does she know, she always feels that she will not be able to bear it in the next moment.

At this time, Widow Zhang hugged her eldest daughter and cried bitterly and said, "Chunni, my mother beat you too hard before, and my mother can't stand you."

Because this daughter hates her and looks down on her, she knows.

In the past, she didn't know how to tell her grievances, so she would beat the child. wants to educate her daughter with this kind of behavior: anyone can look down on your mother, but you are not qualified.

He hugged the other two daughters and cried, "It's too poor, it's too poor and it's too difficult at that time. Fortunately, it's over......."

No one in the village is as grateful to Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin as much as Widow Zhang's family.

It was Mrs. Xu who gave Widow Zhang another chance to live.

Widow Zhang felt that her family was about to be reborn. In the village, where this kind of woman can't find any work and can't earn money, it was Mrs. Xu who told her that as long as you are willing to work, you will have food.

There was food to eat, and she followed Mrs. Xu before she untied her pants.

Seeing Yu Jiaba's front teeth, she felt sick from her heart, do you know how much she responds after every time?

If she takes 10,000 steps back, if she really wants to find a man one day, she will also look for the kind that is pleasing to the eye. What's more, she has decided to cut off the man's tendon. There is food to eat and a good life, who wants them.

Now she just wants to pull her three daughters and youngest son to get through the better possible life.

It was also Xu Tianxin who gave her eldest daughter Chunni a different life, and she started differently from ordinary village girls. That is called being able to make money and have craftsmanship, as long as you follow Xu Tianxin with sincerity, even if you marry someone to another village in the future, you can still return to Tianxin every day to earn money and eat. When I went back to my mother-in-law's house to eat ready-made meals, my mother-in-law didn't dare to say a word. Because that's the most legitimate reason to be busy making money.

Widow Zhang's heart has been extremely happy lately.

After hugging and crying with the children today, my heart is even brighter. In the future, at least she and her eldest daughter will strive to be the right-hand men of Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin, and be the one who works hardest. And whoever dares to ruin the affairs of the Xu family is equivalent to cutting off their family's livelihood, and no one will be allowed to destroy it.

She still has dreams.

She dared to imagine that in the future, she would let the three daughters learn the skills to make money, send them to marry one by one, bring three new cotton clothes and quilts inside and out, and go out with their own silver and dignity. In this way, even if a man is as unfortunate as her after getting married, he is not afraid of death, he has money and skills.

and to build a big house for the younger son. She was born a child when she was old, if she hadn't lived to the day when her youngest son Sun Mantang had a big house, she would have been relieved to live in it.

Widow Zhang hugged the children and said, "In the future, I can learn more to read and write......

Outside the door, Xu Tianxin and Liu Jingdong walked back in silence.

Liu Jingdong suddenly said: "Let's just pretend that we didn't hear it, if we go home and talk about it, my mother will not be able to hold back, she will find someone she thinks she trusts and say, I will only tell you, and then the next day it will be known all over the village."
