"Family, what's the matter, is the food delicious?

Is it sticky and slippery in the mouth, and you will suck it along the edge of the bowl, and the more you chew, the more you can eat the original flavor of corn.

Right now, on this cold day outside, you eat it.

Open the lid of the pot and bring a bowl of hot ballast porridge in the morning, with some mustard shredded pickles, and a little salted duck eggs with oil. After eating, I went to work with a hot stomach, and I had the energy to catch the car in the morning. ”

The five boys who were about to set off were snoring and eating with chopsticks and bowls, without raising their heads, but they were a little puzzled which of them they were talking to?

"Well, it's delicious, mother, I don't even want to leave." Xu Youyin picked up another oil cake and said with a smile while biting.

Mrs. Xu glanced at him: Go to the side, if you don't leave, who will deliver the goods.

Xu Tianxin almost laughed.

Milk is really bold now, and she broadcasts live in front of the family.

Mrs. Xu continued to laugh and said: "As for why it is called big porridge, let's describe a person here as powerful, let's say that person is a stubble." I guess only the best people deserve this. Hahaha, the above grandma is talking nonsense. ”

Dapeng: "......" It turns out that grandma is talking to him.

"This is the ordinary meal of our people, which cannot be compared with the rich. But it's all the sweat of our farmers, and every grain is ground by itself, so that we can have the bowl of big porridge in front of us......"

Dapeng couldn't help but look up and said, "Milk, it's not ordinary." ”

He couldn't eat this during the Chinese New Year before.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Dapeng again.

There is also a summary line that she completely forgot about and thought about for a while last night.

Suddenly, there were a lot of people talking outside, and they couldn't go on live at all.

"What do you mean, why did you let Jingdong come?" He came, and he had to bring more rations along the way.

Liu Laozhu pushed Liu Jingdong forward, and Liu Jingdong still carried a small burden on his shoulder:

"I thought about it last night, five cars, your delivery is enough, but it is not enough to come back to pull the goods.

If you think about it, every household lets them carry New Year's goods, add this today and add that tomorrow, and you will have to buy it after a while. Your family itself has to buy a lot, and our village has to buy goods for takeout, and five cars are enough to fit it, so I simply let him take my car and go with him.

Anyway, I'm idle at home, and I can't make a poem when I see him shriveling. ”

Liu Laozhu took out another key: "This is the key to the door of my eldest brother's house in the county seat, the old man just gave it to me, and I will carry it for Jingdong." Then let them open the door and go in, just to help see if the people who helped burn the house are in order. If you are a proper person, give someone two fish as a gift. ”

Liu Jingdong was added temporarily, and Mrs. Xu asked Yu Qinniang to enter the warehouse to open the tightly bound vat, and took out the old lady's rations and half a basket of bean bags and loaded them.

I also added some frozen sticky bean buns and instant noodles for the children to eat in Fucheng.

Just as Liu Laozhu guessed, sure enough, before leaving, a group of aunts and aunts gathered at the gate of the Xu family, this one grabbed Xu Youyin's arm and asked him to write down what to buy again, and that instructed Yu Dali: "...... If it's more than 60 wen, I don't want it. ”

The boys patiently noted which aunt added needles, threads, brains and cotton, and which aunt exceeded sixty yuan, and she would not buy the inferior sugar.

"Is there anything else you want to add?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Guan Erbald, who has always been a slow son, came this time with a snort, but when he came to the door, he waved his hand and said, "Wait for me a little longer." ”

"Tian Xin'er, you come."

Xu Tianxin had just picked up the big porridge in the house, and the shredded potatoes were wrapped in the oil cake rolls, and she was about to take a big bite when she heard Grandpa Guan call her.

Silently put down the rice bowl.

"What's the matter?"

"Good things for you." Guan Erbald deliberately dragged Tian Xin under the eaves and spoke alone: "You give me ten taels of silver, it must be your money." ”

"Good to me, and let me give you money?"

When Xu Tianxin entered the house and climbed on the kang to withdraw money, he was still muttering: "That's you, Grandpa Guan, if someone else talks to me like this, I can't give him money, I will think that I have met a fraudster." ”

Xu Tianxin removed a brick from the cold wall, took out a piece of silver from it, stuffed the brick and handed it to Guan Erbald silver: "What the hell are you doing, it's quite mysterious." ”

"Did you ask your third uncle to buy medicinal herbs?"

"Hmm."

"Then I don't have to talk about medicine."

Guan Erbald took out his purchase list and handed it to Xu Youcang, and handed it over together with Xu Tianxin's ten taels of silver:

"You want to buy me twenty taels of goods. I still think you don't know how to read, so you have to go to Fucheng and ask the innkeeper. This time, it's okay, with Jingdong following, you can buy it directly according to my list. ”

Let me help buy goods and talk about buying goods, why do you still sprinkle salt into the hearts of the Xu family and say that they can't read?

provoked Liu Laozhu to suddenly remember something, and once again instructed the boys:

"It's a change of course. It's not like opening the road in the past, no matter how many goods you pull, you can mix out of the city and return, you must look at the words written on it.

Don't forget to let the general's mansion keep it safe, negotiate more than 100 taels of business with people and write contracts, just write them on the few stamped papers I gave you.

Only if you are deceived by outsiders in this way, or robbed on the road, you, as a Zhenbei person, in Tian Xin'er's original words, will the Zhenbei General's Mansion escort you. ”

Starting from five people, the group became six, and the six people responded in unison: "Remember." ”

Let's go.

The goods that the boys are going to send this time are:

Sausages, instant noodles, jade ring noodles, ordinary noodles, sticky bean buns, fish scale jelly, fish balls, fish floss. As well as Gao Mantang's four small bamboo silk paintings, ask if there is a store in Fucheng to accept it. The price is set by Xu Tian Xin, Tian Xin said, the price is low and will not be sold.

There is also a sack of frozen fish for Boss Liu.

This was first proposed by the people in the village, to save Liu Laozhu's face. It was also Chong Liu Boss who first borrowed a boat when the people in the village were in the most difficult time, and took the initiative to say: "Let's dig an ice hole for the Erdaohe people outside to eat, I'm afraid that they won't be able to come back, and we will taste the fish caught in the Jiajiang River during the Chinese New Year." ”

As for whether it is only given to Boss Liu, or whether Boss Liu and Liu Jingye in Fucheng are divided, then it is not under everyone's control, and it is not good to say too much.

What's more, there is also the matter of whether the Xu family is willing to come to the door to help deliver the fish.

And Liu Laozhu said that this bag of fish was only for his eldest brother.

Then he helped carry the two pairs of cotton shoes that his old mother had sewn for his eldest brother and brother-in-law.

The reason why she has her brother-in-law's shoes is that Mrs. Liu thinks that if she is better to her uncle, her uncle can be good to her daughter.

Pepper also has no objection in this matter.

At first, when Liu Laozhu came back to learn what his eldest son did, Pepper fell seriously ill.

Every time I think of her old man taking a group of boys to live in an inn, staying for many days, the eldest son didn't apologize, and he didn't go to see it in Fucheng.

Do you know what it is like to be filial to a child? It's going to be upsetting after arguing with my parents. Even if I'm right, I'll be cheeky and worry about seeing if I'm angry with my father.

Her eldest son is good.

In the end, although I went, I heard that Erdaohe was going to open a shop. It was as if they were about to die, and they were afraid that they would give him a little bit of money.

She was so angry that the old man was crying at the inn, and Pepper couldn't imagine how sad her old man's cry was. Seeing that Liu Laozhu has aged a lot in the past six months, he was so depressed that he almost died of illness when he heard it, and he couldn't soften his heart.

And she has decided that everything in the village will be given to Jingdong, and there is no boss. She has never been at home for the rest of her life, but she must be listened to in this matter. As long as the eldest family dares to come back for the New Year, she will say it to her face. It's not even easy for Liu Laozhu to disagree. She wants to see if the eldest son will recognize his father and mother by then.

The above are the goods to be delivered.

As for the types that the boys have to buy on their return trip, there are too many:

Incense candles, yellow paper, lamp oil. Guan Gong, the Lord of the Stove and the God of Wealth are painted, the god of the door. Needles, threads, fabrics, cotton, firecrackers, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sugar, peppercorns, red yeast powder, etc.

He also dragged back three carts of wine for Xu Tianxin and purchased a lot of medicinal materials, including the medicine Xu Zhaozhao took. As well as frozen persimmons and what to see and buy something.

Xu Youcang once asked his niece: "What books do you want to bring?" ”

At that time, Mrs. Xu also looked at her granddaughter and took out all the money.

"Don't." Xu Tianxin changed his normal state and refused.

Xu Tianxin had a hunch that he would also receive Huo Yunqian's book.

The general is probably addicted to being a gentleman, just like most people who wanted to be a teacher when they were young, and always felt that the general was using her to fulfill his dream.

Because of the books I received last time, there was a note and asked her to hand over the reading feelings of the books that met and gave her.

Alas, there is no free lunch in the world, and you have to write homework when you borrow a book to read.

At this time, after the convoy left, the mother-in-law in the village was chattering around Guan Erbald, and almost gave Guan Erbald a look up and down.

"Okay, two bald people, it turned out that the three-legged cat has now become a tiger's waist. Good guy, buy a New Year's gift of twenty taels of silver, and your unearthed old sugarcane is still getting sweeter. ”

Guan Erbald begged for mercy: "There are ten taels of silver from Tian Xin'er in it, I didn't buy anything." With that, he trotted away.

Even his daughter didn't know what he was buying. Frozen persimmons? Thirty wen a catty, only two a catty: "Dad, the tiger can't be so used to it." If one day the wind blows the pole and the life is not good, he should not live a hard life. He hasn't been cared for by his siblings yet. Sugar can't be bought too much, bad teeth. ”

"I didn't buy it for the tiger."

So even Mrs. Xu was very confused.

You must know that the second bald man lives a life, and he can deal with anything.

At present, the Guan family is living a good life, and it stands to reason that if you have money, you will have more grain and oil, no, every time her family goes out to buy food, the second bald family only buys 180 catties and pulls it back.

Clothes are dealt with too.

If it weren't for the need for "work clothes" to sell goods, the bald man would continue to wear patched clothes.

How to describe it, it's just a bear-like broken quilt or something, as if I don't pretend to live those things. Regardless of how much money the family has, ordinary old ladies can't follow him. What a pick, what's the use of making money without improving anything.

But this time it was unusual.

Mrs. Xu asked her granddaughter, "Do you know what he bought, medicine?" No, you don't spend money on medicine? ”

"I don't know, you're still walking ten taels towards me."

Xu Youcang and his entourage arrived at the county seat smoothly, and only then did they remember Uncle Guan's note and open it.

Liu Jingdong heated the stove of his uncle's house, and read while roasting the fire: "Let me buy a lot of incense, paper money, a lot of white noodles, red dates, red paper, and door gods." And, window paper? ”

This season to buy window paper is very much.

As far as Liu Jingdong knows, the window paper in their village has been changed a long time ago.

The main thing is to buy so many pieces of window paper, before the explosion of the Guanjia house, the front and back houses together did not need ten: "Let me buy 200 sheets." ”

The other boys were also puzzled, but Uncle Guan was a person who wrote prescriptions and would never make mistakes, so it was always right to suppress doubts and buy according to the order.

In the county seat, the boys re-signed the supply agreement with the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Shopkeeper Wu looked at the special supply contract paper issued by the Metropolitan Protector of Zhenbei Prefecture, and felt a little envious in his heart.

In fact, serious businessmen are not afraid to pay that little bit of money for going out of the city, but they are afraid of begging grandpa to sue grandma when they can't say clearly, and no one will call the shots.

Especially when it comes to other places, it is even more difficult to find debtors.

Look at the people again, obviously they used to be under the control of the county government like them. Now that he has become a native of Zhenbei, he immediately looks like someone behind him is fighting his waist. Moreover, those who fight on the waist still have the right to fight. Who would dare to owe money to the people there and not pay it back? Who hurried to intercept the robbery on the road and lead the troops to clean up.

Out of the county restaurant, Xu Youcang was suddenly hugged by a little girl: "Uncle, where is Sister Tian Xin'er?" ”

Xu Youcang took a closer look and recognized that it was a little girl who lived in a cave together.

The little girl's father and mother also recognized Xu Youcang and said happily: "Let's go, go home quickly." ”

I also asked if I wanted to stay in the county for a few more days, did I have a place to live? If not, his family has an empty room, and he cooks hot stir-fried vegetables in the house and drinks two cups at night.

At the beginning, the affection of living in a cave together to avoid the rain was still very strong.

The man patted Xu Youcang's shoulder and laughed and said, "We picked a lot of mushrooms in the heavy rain. I'm really scared, such a heavy rain. We are also living and dying together. Don't hide it from my little brother, two days ago, my little girl also mentioned Sister Tian Xin, and she thought about it, no wonder she could recognize you at a glance. ”

The little girl heard that Sister Tian Xin didn't follow, so she took out two pieces of caramel from her pocket, "Uncle, you bring it to sister." ”

Xu Youcang is not good at polite words, but he also thanked him first, and made it clear that he would immediately go out of the city to Fucheng to deliver goods, and he would have the opportunity to sit at home again.

After taking the child's candy again, he took out four packets of instant noodles from the ox cart and handed them to the little girl.

He guessed that what he was thinking about was this kind of fried noodles: "Your sister Tian Xin gave it to you." ”

They just have a little less to eat.

The two of them didn't let them live or die, and this time even Xu Youyin said: "Take it, eldest brother and sister-in-law, this is for the child, and I will also give you an early year in advance." ”

Xu Youcang introduced: "This is my brother. ”

In the end, the group was sent out of the city by two people with their little girl in their arms.

The little girl also shouted tenderly: "Uncles, tell Sister Tian Xin that I will always miss her." ”

This delivery, an eight-day round-trip trip, how to describe these eight days, Liu Jingdong made a poem.

The sun and moon are long on both shoulders, and the ice and snow are really cold.

The wind and food are cold enough, and the snow and sleep frost in exchange for money and food.

I want to go for eight days with tears in my eyes, thinking about my father and mother at home, why are men afraid of the north wind and cold, as if they smell the fragrance of food.

And eight days later, when the boys arrived home covered in frost, Guan Erbald revealed the answer to Xu Tianxin, what he was going to do with these things.

"I want to change the window paper for those people in Shili Eight Village, who can't afford to change the window paper. If you can't post the Spring Festival couplets, send a pair of couplets. Let's not tell you, just leave the door and go, it's done, Tian Xin'er. ”
