"People have to test for drugs on everything they eat. Even if I don't want to slam the door, he may still be piled up in the warehouse to take up space, and it is not certain whether he will eat or not.

Isn't there such a saying? Gifts are light and affectionate, and when it comes to gift-giving, if you give too high-level people, you can't talk about benefits. What is given is nothing more than a heart. ”

Xu Tianxin was thinking in his heart that he should make another biscuit for Lu Yan and Sui Feng Suihe, and continued casually:

"Besides, unless it is sent to the heart, otherwise what can people lack in that kind of identity.

If you look at the cars in front of our house recently, they can be described as endless. ”

Mrs. Xu was successfully persuaded by her granddaughter, which seemed to make sense.

Send too much, and there is a suspicion of slipping the beard, which does not seem deep.

However, aren't Lu Yan and Jia Lai officials big?

It can be seen that she and her granddaughter are really good, and they don't feel wrong when they deal with the fourth or fifth rank officials in a daze. Obviously, when I first saw those officials in the cave, I was trembling.

Tsk, maybe I've seen a bigger one, and I've spoken.

If they had seen the emperor Lao'er, their ancestors and grandchildren would not have been bolder.

Speaking of the cave, and the endless flow of roads in front of the shop that her granddaughter just said, Mrs. Xu couldn't help laughing, and she was about to mention that four days ago, she saw General Shan Shaoshan again.

To be honest, at first she had a better impression of the general than everyone else.

Because Shan Shao praised her granddaughter in the cave, he called her an old man and asked them if they had anything to eat, and at first glance she was a Confucian general.

So this time, when she saw General Shan personally carrying the tributary goods through Erdaohe, Mrs. Xu waved her headscarf and hurriedly greeted her, and called the old sisters to shout together: "General Shan, quickly go into the house and add some hot water to fill it, and then take the soldiers to continue on the road." ”

The soldiers immediately looked at her when they heard the voice.

Mrs. Xu was not only not stunned, but she was also very happy to be able to help them, the peasants, drag the cart against the wind and make room for them to be warm as when they were in the cave.

So that day, Liu Laozhu led the men and did not dare to touch the tribute.

But there is a help to drag the horses and feed the horses to drink.

Liu Laozhu smiled and told the villagers and this wave of Zhenbei Army that the first time they went to Fucheng to buy goods and encountered heavy rain, it was Huo Jiajun who helped them, and they borrowed all the way back. The county lord Bo didn't know that he was mixing with them, and he scared them before kneeling, and almost knocked each other back. His eldest brother also kowtowed.

In short, it was very lively at noon, and the two sides heard about this little episode and got a lot closer.

One side is no longer so afraid, only restrained and nervous.

On the other side, a few generals were also embarrassed to find a table full of people and said, "Auntie, please fill this hot water bladder." Otherwise, they will have to stand up all the way to the cold, military discipline.

And when General Shan was sitting on the hot kang and drinking warm tea that day, he asked Mrs. Xu a lot of questions.

For example, what about Xu Tianxin'er? Owe so much goods and am not at home.

What about intermarket trading? What about business lately.

Speaking of recent business, this is simply Mrs. Xu's second happiest.

Mrs. Xu never expected that in addition to entertaining caravans here, they would also see so many people from the south and north during the Chinese New Year, rushing to the land of Zhenbei to deliver New Year's goods.

And it's no longer just at night, it's early in the morning to eat.

It may be that many friends sent people to give gifts.

How many generals are there here in the land of Zhenbei, and who doesn't have a friend yet. What's more, there are many housekeepers in the house who came with New Year's gifts.

Mrs. Xu inquired briefly, and Huo Yunqian alone came several times. What is in Beijing, hometown, Zhuangzi, and what younger brother is his aunt, anyway, there are many relatives who send people to give New Year's gifts, and the team is not interrupted whether it is big or small. The villagers looked at it with a sigh of relief.

In comparison, it is really that Lu Yan has fewer New Year's goods, and there is a handful.

So the granddaughter said that she would send Lu Yan more New Year's goods, okay, we have to get together two cars to strengthen our face.

The rest of Jia Lai, including Shan Shao in front of him, has to bet on the goods and face the saint, and this year is designated to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, and there are many relatives and friends who give gifts.

And the most evil day was New Year's Eve.

It may be that it may not be difficult to find a shop to eat in a remote place, but it is too difficult to find a shop to really bathe, and you will soon see the owner and need to wash.

Mrs. Xu felt that she was not exaggerating at all, on the night of Xiao Nian, there was no seat for eating and serving bowls in the restaurant until others had finished eating, no matter how she said that Xiao Nian wanted to eat hot dumplings. It's not a boast, you may not be able to eat so well in town.

So the rice was made, and the firewood was almost used up, and the firewood was dragged from the village.

It was even more wicked in the bathhouse, and the ass was ass to ass that night. What are you afraid of burying and disliking your identity, no one should dislike anyone.

On the night of the last New Year, the well was broken, and the iron must be replaced next year.

The bathhouse pipe also exploded.

Sensei, that day, I was busy with the people in the village and went to Lao Bai's house overnight to knock on the door and buy new pipes. This side is a ground that is frozen with mud, and it is barely wrapped in clay and cloth, otherwise you will have to stop cooking.

However, I have to admit that I have earned a lot of money in the past ten days.

The old women in the village repeatedly recruited shops to help cook.

At that time, Shan Shao listened to Mrs. Xu's speech, and told him that this is not over, and after the warm weather at the beginning of the year, the female dependents will come. This year, I only have a letter from my family, and I have no family members.

Mrs. Xu immediately said: "If you don't say people-oriented, there are many people, no matter how lifeless the place is, it will be revitalized." ”

In fact, Mrs. Xu still had a sentence, and she held back.

That sentence is too real, Mrs. Xu wanted to say in her heart, you see that there is a big difference between a general with real power and a general without real power, even if the grade is the same.

She heard about the former Zhenbei Army, but she didn't know if she was old or had no background, so she didn't want to have a conflict with the local government, and she didn't want to affect anyone.

The emperor sent troops to the north to train and stay honestly, and the border harassment was petty and troublesome. It is completely different from the style of being a general in the family.

Looking at Huo Yunqian's integrity and prime, he dared to make drastic moves.

What's more, Huo Jiayi can't control the sacred heart, but he has the heart of the army.

If she is the emperor or the princes, she will be peaceful with the Huo family on the surface, showing that the Huo family is favored and favored, and the bad behind her is behind it.

On the surface, if you can continue to use it, don't open the mind of the Huo family in your heart before you are unsure.

So such generals were stationed in the north of the town, and the common people also borrowed light.

No, Mrs. Xu was so busy that she hadn't chatted with her granddaughter for several days, and she couldn't stop her granddaughter from being busier than her.

"Right, you say?"

Xu Tianxin smiled and glanced at Mrs. Xu: "Okay, milk, I can also be political." ”

"What is political or not, what is governed is also a group of people to do things together. It's a human being, it's just a matter of pondering that little thing, no one is higher than whom, so how complicated can it be? Between countries, you are better off than me, and I have to stumble on you. What kind of public opinion war, isn't that equivalent to the popularity of each family in our village compared to fame? There are more people than anyone who controls and knows, and they can spread the word, and the false can be passed on as true. ”

While helping her granddaughter rummage through frozen milk to make cookies, Mrs. Xu continued to complain:

"It's like me and Liu Laozhu.

I couldn't get him at the beginning, so I could only pretend to be good with him on the surface, and retreat to see if I could get him. Slowly found that this person was still a little saved, which is why he is today.

But if he didn't cooperate at the beginning, he would still be like that, I would feel guilty when I thought about this person, and I had to recruit Liu Laozhu. ”

"Oops? Uncle Jingdong, why are you here? ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "You just tease your milk, Uncle Jingdong, pretending to be quite similar, you don't call him uncle, the old lady in the family is even more funny, I'm afraid that I won't remember my name, so I ask him to sneak into the hole." Besides, don't say he's coming, it's his father. ”

Mrs. Xu took out the frozen milk from the vat and looked up: "......"

It's really coming.

When did you come?

From "except for his father".

Liu Jingdong was afraid, Dad, thanks to your obedience, this is the village that has become better today.

Liu Jingdong humbly asked Xu Tianxin how to write the word "diligence".

Xu Tianxin wiped the powder on his hands with a handkerchief, and when he took the pen to write for him, a big bird's cry suddenly came from outside: "Grandma, hurry up, come to the caravan!" ”

Mrs. Xu immediately ran out with a trot, and her actions betrayed her heart, but she didn't forget to pretend to be deep and said: "Oh, just get up early, isn't it normal for us to have guests here?" There are a lot of people on duty over there, why are you so excited? ”

Indeed, but this time it was four caravans at once.

And it was the caravan that his sister Xu Tianxin knew, who was about to finish breakfast and buy some food before leaving.

"Hui Shangzhang shopkeeper them?"

Yes, these people have not left, and when they saw Dashan that time, Mrs. Xu also made a special inquiry, saying that they were waiting for the final payment of the imperial court. You just say that this rotten court can still have it.

As a result, in order to save money, these treasurers could only send back some of the escort porters in advance, while they and the other part of the guards had to continue to stay.

"There are also Lu Shang, the shopkeeper of the medicine merchant Wan, the shopkeeper of the silk merchant Wang, the second uncle asked me to come back and call you quickly."

When Mrs. Xu heard that it was all the people her granddaughter wanted to give gifts, she hurriedly turned her head and said, "Dabao, hurry up, the shopkeeper Zhang is leaving." ”

The New Year's gifts that Xu Tianxin wanted to bring to others were all piled up in his own house, and there was no place on the other side of the shop.

Hearing this, Liu Jingdong stuffed the paper with the word "diligence" in his arms and began to help Xu Tianxin move the wine jar and load it.

The big bird went to look for Liu Laozhu quickly, but he didn't expect that not only Liu Laozhu came, but the fourth uncle and the seventh uncle also rushed to hear the news.

It's different, the shopkeeper is the first merchant to arrive when they open a shop.

And to open a store, destined to all kinds of people with any personality, although the villagers of Erdaohe see very open, but then open, in contrast, the shopkeeper Zhang is still the most friendly to the villagers, everyone is very grateful.

So the villagers who stayed up late last night, and the villagers who were supposed to rest for the morning and afternoon shifts today rushed here.

Everyone also hurried towards the shop, and said: "It's already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the New Year is about to be, so they are on the road at this time, and the thirtieth and the first day of the new year are on the way." ”

In front of the Erdaohe shop, in front of the fourteen colorful flags.

Xu Tianxin prepared a cart of high-grade liquor for Lu Shang alone, because he wanted to give her a little Surabaya stone.

and gave it to four shopkeepers separately, each with four jars of Tusu wine:

"I have money to buy wine, but the other day there was a heavy snowfall, and the wine shop in the town couldn't get wine, so I went to buy it, and then he stopped selling me, saying that there was not much left, and I had to consider the merchants and people in the town. My uncles were also delayed for several days before they left for Fucheng to drink. Therefore, a slight gift is only enough for everyone to touch their lips on the first day of the new year. ”

Xu Tianxin arched his hand to the long line: "I borrow Tusu wine to drive away evil spirits, peace, auspiciousness, I wish you all the shopkeepers a smooth journey." The new year is a great one. ”

The villagers of Erdaohe immediately shouted: "Give everyone a greeting for the early years." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang felt that he must be in a hurry for the New Year, maybe he was a little sad not to see his relatives, otherwise how could his eyes be red, he is not a person with shallow tears.

"No, no, wait a little longer, give me pen and paper." The shopkeeper suppressed his tears and beckoned the other shopkeepers and said, "We want to write a letter of thanks." It may not be useful, but the caravan can be shown to them by sticking to the wall. That's what we do, to understand how the team leaders are thinking, and if you have a thank you letter, you will be more assured to stay in Erdaohe. ”

In fact, not only the caravan shopkeepers were full of emotion when they took the Tusu wine, the melon seeds and chestnuts that did not need money, but even Xu Youcang, Xu Youyin and Liu Jingdong, as well as the strong tiger Dapeng were also deeply touched.

In the ice and snow, people who have never gone out to sell goods do not understand the sin and food on the road.

These little boys also said that when they arrived at Erdao River, they took a bath not to be clean, but to be cold, and they wanted to jump into the hot water pool immediately.

When Xu Youyin was selling goods, his gloved hands were frozen and he couldn't stretch them straight, and he thought at that time that it would be nice to have a basin of hot water for him to warm his hands.

So these people are more practical than the others, and they are carrying buckets of hot water to fill the four teams with hot water for free. I also asked if the torches, lamp oil, and fire folds were enough.

And most of the villagers were talking to the vendors: "Emma, you don't have enough to go, just go, it's still the New Year, you must pay attention to your steps on the road." I have to come back next year, next year will not be the same. ”

As for the difference, we have to count on the old ladies to be able to speak well.

While helping to hold down the paper of the thank you letter, the table said to the shopkeeper of Zhang:

"Then it will be civilized, rime small river, we paddle, you sit in the boat. You are in a row on the boat, which means lying down.

Then let's take you to see the scene, catch some of your favorite fish, and grill a little barbecue on the shore, grill a pike, and put the pork belly slices on the stone pan, and the oil is bubbling up.

Use a bag of spicy cabbage made by my sister, and I'll tell you, it's no cure. ”

Cai Baozi's mouth was not idle and introduced to the shopkeeper Wan:

"Next year, we will build a new house, in our words, if you open the window in the summer, it will sit on the beautiful scenery of the water, and it will be built until the river.

When the gate arrives, there is a long corridor dozens of feet into the house, and a shed is built on it, so they sit outside to eat watermelon and drink tea because it is stuffy in the house.

Even the room you are staying in has a one-key sliding unlock inside, which means that it is with an iron lock, which will make you feel more at ease. ”

The eggplant bag daughter-in-law hurriedly grabbed and said:

"It is also equipped with a full set of furniture, handmade, and a hidden safe, which is a small box where you put your silver, which can definitely keep your wealth and secrets for the big treasurer. Even the cheap backyard is very beautiful, the backyard can see the jungle, that is also your private house, go up the mountain and want to play how to play. ”

The big moth is saying to the king's shopkeeper: "If it is like this year, I am not afraid of catching up with the cold." At that time, there will be a big kang, much bigger than now. I can't squeeze you anymore. Let's put it this way, to use a not-so-good analogy, your kang tip has a plague, and you don't even have a disease if you live on the kang. ”

Pepper reminded: "People say that it is called close connection. ”

"Yes, you have the plague on the kang, and the kang tip is not considered a close contact, you must come next year, the old man is arrogant!"

After the letter of thanks of several shopkeepers was written, they couldn't help laughing, it didn't sound like a house, as if they were going to detain the greenhouse next year.

Both sides waved their hands.

"Let's go, folks!"

"Have a safe journey, and return to your hometown full of hard-earned money!"
