"That's what you're going to say? Then why don't you go into the house and say it? ”

Xu Youliang shone the torch in the direction of Tian's son-in-law: "I see that you seem to have a cold, your face is red, is it fever?" I didn't get cold in the morning. ”

Tian's son-in-law thought to himself:

I was frozen this morning, and I was cold enough yesterday.

As for why he didn't go directly into the house, he said.

A group of tiger relatives are busy fighting at the beginning of the year. Needless to say, we all know that we are bad luck when we see it during the New Year.

As for the mother-in-law, what she said yesterday has offended the third aunt and she is still unconscious.

He was afraid that he would go into the house and ask his cousin-in-law to do something directly, in case the third aunt sat aside and pulled his face, and his cousin-in-law was hindered by the mood of his mother-in-law, and he wanted to agree.

That's how he thought about it, so he didn't go directly into the house, and stopped halfway to say a few words.

I didn't expect my brother-in-law to go back early, when did I miss it? He still hasn't figured it out.

But what he said was: "My brother-in-law is a busy man, and he rarely comes back once a year, I think that I am all a trivial matter, just take the time to talk to you, and go into the house to find you for fear of affecting your reunion dinner." ”

Tian's son-in-law hurriedly sold his duck again, and he was afraid that Xu Youliang would turn around and get in the car and leave:

"Brother-in-law, our ducks are raised by grain worms, and I also look for small fish cubs to feed, and even the water I drink is the mountain spring water in the back of my house.

Each net weight is more than four catties, but fat, no problem at all, is definitely the best gift for your family to visit relatives and friends. Your shop stews my duck, and the smell is all fat. The restaurant in the town did a good job of selling two hundred and fifty-eight wen a fat duck, and earned it in half with a turn.

And brother-in-law, I'll be honest with you, my family doesn't count if there are thousands of hairy ones, my family has always wanted to find a big buyer who doesn't have a toothache and a long-term cooperation.

But our place is poor, and there are very few big families who can buy my ducks for a long time, and I have to pay the housekeeper a favor. As for the restaurant, I often accept other people's when I go late, after all, chickens, ducks and geese are not rare.

I thought that I have a relative like you, and whether you should or not at the moment, I will say hello to you first, in case I can. What if you know a lot of people in your family and someone else wants to buy a lot of ducks?

I'm glad brother-in-law your house is up, brother-in-law, you believe me, really! ”

Tian's son-in-law is called an attitude of sincerity.

He doesn't dislike his relatives for having the ability, and it's better to pull him up than he has the ability.

And the relatives who have the ability, once they encounter something difficult at home, a large group of people who can't help but shout are not worth talking to others. Ideas can also come up with ideas, how good such relatives are.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I sell other people's retail sales for more than 100 yuan, if you come to collect it, you don't need me to worry about selling it everywhere, my father has a disease, I also don't worry about going out to sell it, I'll give you eighty or eighty-five wen." Not to mention duck eggs, that's no different from your own, pick a big one in the basket, and then pick up which one in the brother-in-law's picture, if I dare to frown a little, I'm not human. ”

Xu Youliang understood that because Tian's son-in-law was an only son, and Tian's father was old, Tian's son-in-law would rather earn less and find a fixed market, so he stopped raising ducks at home and farming with his father, so he found him.

Xu Youliang said honestly:

"But there are a lot of stewed fish and chicken stewed geese in my shop, and I really don't like stewed duck.

Yesterday, when I vigorously said that my mother-in-law also wants to raise ducks, I still thought about it, my mother-in-law's little duck is enough for my family, and it is really not very good to sell this.

As for collecting duck eggs before, I have already asked Brother Dashan to convene Li Zheng to speak.

What's going on here? I don't hide it from you, but I also think that the family has thousands of hairs, and I help the villagers to raise poultry and collect duck eggs, what is this called benefiting the people.

It just so happens that my big mountain brother is the town pavilion, and he came out to help the people collect poultry and find a way to sell them, which can be regarded as a political achievement. It's been harvested, and my mother will be pickled in two days. ”

Tian's son-in-law was disappointed, but his face did not show at all, and he could accurately find Xu Youliang's itch, and hurriedly said:

"It's okay, my brother-in-law can delay his efforts early in the morning to listen to me say so much, I am already grateful, then I will have another chance in the future. What's that, does my third aunt want to raise ducks and geese? Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will pick up the third aunt to choose ducks and geese after a while, and designate one to live. ”

Xu Youliang and Yu Dali glanced at each other.

They had to admit that this son-in-law Tian, who could earn 180 taels a year at home, had two sons.

When Xu Youliang got into the car, he thought for a while and said, "You are like this, go back to my house and talk to my mother." ”

"Huh? Can I go?! Tian's son-in-law was disappointed, and immediately turned into joy.

Xu Youliang couldn't help laughing, and his mother didn't eat people: "Then what's not to do, because I don't know how many salted duck eggs my mother wants to pickle, and whether she knows anyone else and whether she will buy duck." If you talk to her in person, she will at least have a number in mind to help you pay attention. If someone else buys it, she will help you push it and talk better than me. ”

"That'...... That brother-in-law, you slow down and catch the car, you and your aunt said that I will definitely discuss it and give it cheap. If there's anything to help in the future, you squeak too! ”

The car left, and Tian's son-in-law was still looking at the butt of the car and waving and laughing.

Lin couldn't bear to look at it, and thought: Alas, this scene is probably what her son said when she went home vigorously, and he and his brother-in-law were running around in the county town to sell takeaway goods.

She seemed to see her uncle in the city being pushed out of the door by a merchant saying no, no, no.

Maybe it's not as good as the one in front of you.

At least this one is afraid that his father will be sick and no one will take care of him, so he can choose not to leave home.

And her uncle, as well as the children of the Xu family, including her son, said that they were leaving. She didn't spend enough time with the children. The next time I see my daughter-in-law and son-in-law, it will be a long time.

"Third aunt, hehe, third aunt has a good New Year, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a car, I'm here to pick you up to get the duck ......" clanged, and the cold and fever couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

"Huh?" Before Lin could shed tears, he was frightened by Tian's son-in-law falling straight up: "Come on!" ”

You said that Xiaocui (the third cousin) is so unhearted, and she is still sleeping at her mother's house, her man is freezing and fainting to earn some money.

……

When Xu Youliang, Yu Qinniang and Yu Dali were about to arrive at Erdaohe, they happened to meet Uncle Guan's Yingzi and Red Date Father.

Xu Youliang hurriedly pulled the cow rope, Yu Qinniang opened the curtain and twisted her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't mention it, I'm sorry."

The firewood stacks of the Guan family were burned by a fire in Wangjiagou when they were rushing to the river, and many homes were burned with firewood stacks.

This winter is all up to you to pick up some firewood, and he will give some firewood.

But what made the Guan family even worse than those families was that half of the house was burned down, and half of the house was left, so that the amount of firewood needed to heat the house was greater.

The firewood on the side of the shop also needs to be cut now, for fear that it will not be enough.

Yingzi is also looking for her own ability to cause less trouble to others, and she picks up firewood when she has nothing to do on the third day of the Lunar New Year. I fell into the hole of an unknown animal in the snow and broke my foot.

Thanks to the red date father passing by and seeing it, but there is no man and no daughter-in-law, and he can't carry it on his back, and the two of them are pulling a stick and moving step by step.

"Get in the car."

Yingzi got into the car, and Yu Qinniang stuffed the fire cage in her arms: "Big brother, you also get in the car." ”

The red date father refused, he said that he suddenly remembered that something had fallen in the shop, and he wanted to go back again, so he asked Xu Youliang to help him carry the luggage back to the village.

turned his head, and the red date father went to chop wood for the Guan family, and Yingzi at this time really went back to the shop to get something.

When I entered the village, I met Xu Tianxin and Chunfang's family tearing it up.

Chunfang Niang had to let Tian Xin'er stay at home to eat, and it was rare for her family to stew chicken thighs and potatoes today.

"Auntie, I won't eat, the family is waiting for me to eat, if I don't come back, my grandmother should criticize me again."

Last night, her grandmother criticized her and asked her why she always went to other people's homes to serve rice during the Chinese New Year.

Xu Tianxin explained, if you don't go, will it seem like you are looking down on those grandparents?

That's really dragging her, and pressing her on the edge of the table and stuffing chopsticks into her hands.

I almost didn't pull her sleeve off.

Xu Tianxin considered giving face to others again. Grandma used to educate her, saying that the more bad the family invites you, the more you should pay attention to the self-esteem of others, and sincerely invite you to go. lest they despise each other as if they despise each other.

In fact, it is not very delicious, it may be coarse salt and other seasonings.

Then Mrs. Xu laughed, and said that Xu Tianxin was at this time and that time, and it was difficult to mechanize food in modern times, and there was a lot of food, and people in difficulty were reluctant to eat well, and the rice was still full.

When you get here, you can spare those grandparents, and you will run to gnaw a quarter of the pig's paws, really.

So Xu Tianxin must struggle to leave today, but he doesn't dare to stay at Chunfang's house to eat chicken thighs, if she hadn't come to tell Chunfang what to do just now, she wouldn't have gone out.

Besides, her family made delicious food today, "Auntie, I really can't stay." ”

There was still some distance away, Xu Lao Er saw his eldest niece's two hats like rabbit ears, which were the white rabbit hats that the third and fourth children bought for their nieces, and Qin Niang sewed two small red balls on the tip of her head, otherwise she was mixed with Bai Xue, and her niece loved to wear black, and skiing was even more swishing, so she was afraid that she would slip and lose. Sewing a red ball also wards off evil spirits.

"Tian Xin'er!"

Xu Tianxin hurriedly turned around when he heard the sound, and kept waving his hand: "Huh? Auntie, auntie, you're back! ”

The smile on Xu Youliang's face was stunned, it's really good, this kid.

Your aunt and your Yingzi mother were chatting in the carriage, and she didn't see you at all.

It's your uncle and I who call you, and you know your aunt's.

This time Chun Fangniang was not good at dragging Xu Tianxin again, and watched Xu Jiatianxin get on the arrogant ox cart with a jump, and was carried home by Yu Qinniang.

But it's not easy for her family to make delicious food, so she still asked Chunfang to secretly call red dates to come to her house to eat some meat.

Today's junior high school does not go to relatives and friends, the country rules say that today is the Red Dog Day, and we have to go to bed early today, so that the rats will not make trouble for us in the coming year, and the harvest will be good.

Therefore, it is rare for the Xu family to get together today, and no outsiders come to disturb them.

No, even a table full of families is there.

The table covered his mouth and smiled: "Again, I'm going to eat at my sister's house again, and I'll go back to work in the shop after eating." ”

Xu Youliang said with his front foot: "Huh", and Xu Youcang appeared on the back foot to help his brother unload the car. Xu Youyin is in the stove room, and his mouth is sweet.

Xu Youliang went into the house to wash his hands, looking at the meat on the table and what seafood General Jia gave, he didn't understand what scallops and oyster yellow were, the pot was bubbling with aroma, and asked in surprise: "Guess we will come back today?" ”

"I don't know." Mrs. Xu said.

"Mother, don't you know that it's so good to eat at home? Don't wait for us. ”

The Xu family was full of laughter, what's the matter, who can wait for you to eat hot pot, the mutton we saved, we can eat it if we want, your mother-in-law designated to make it for you, did you give it to us?

"It's so fragrant." Xu Tianxin never said this, with a full table of words, the blessed people eat everything with that deep look.

But today, Xu Tianxin wrapped his hand in sesame sauce and cut mutton slices into his mouth, and immediately said, Emma, it's so delicious, it can be seen that she is really greedy.

Mrs. Xu's face was also red when she ate, and the tip of her nose was sweaty: "Eat, eat, eat, Lao'er, put down some more fish balls, and I'll be full today." ”

The old lady was not satisfied with Yu Qinniang and Yu Dali, who brought back a large basket of eggs.

The eggs were all wiped clean, and they were very large, and they were bought with all their hearts.

In the old lady's heart, even if she brings some potatoes back, she will see the return gift at home, and she will be happier if she has to bring some back anyway:

"I'll tell my grandmother about it later, how is your mother's family. If you are impatient with this smell, there is fish, eat fish, granddaughter-in-law, your mother will give you freshly cut sashimi, layer by layer is difficult to cut. Don't listen to her say that she didn't wait for you, in fact, I guessed that you all knew it in your hearts, as long as it didn't blow smoke and snow, you would come back at noon. ”

It's over, Yu Qinniang and her mother-in-law laughed as if they were in love, so much so that Xu Lao Er felt that he didn't see it, what was an idiot, what was his daughter-in-law.

After eating a mouthful of meat on the table, she soaked the cabbage and sauerkraut: "Sister, don't clip it for me, to be honest, the hot vegetables are fragrant when they are wrapped in sesame sauce." Thanks to our family, we have already saved some leek flowers and frozen. This year's autumn harvest, our family will save more, I am optimistic, our family had better even dry and grind spinach, everything must be ground and stored, so as not to have it in winter. ”

"Well, I didn't expect the leek flowers and sweet garlic I made to be so delicious, no wonder ......"

Mrs. Xu swallowed the rest of the words urgently.

No wonder the last time the general came, he served the general a small plate of leek flowers and a small bowl of sugar garlic, and there was nothing left.

"It's to save some vegetable powder, if we save it last year, our family will dare to sell colorful rice balls to Fucheng Restaurant this year, and the small dim sum baked by Dabao can also be colored on the whole point."

Xu Youyin picked up a big chopsticks for Mrs. Xu to make good mutton, and she was afraid that her mother would eat less.

I thought: Mother, you are still not greedy, how can you still have the heart to nag this kind of knot.

Xu Youyin took a bite of mutton slices, dipped in sesame sauce and stuffed a piece of frozen tofu into his mouth, ate a piece of sweet garlic, and soaked a piece of duck blood, and saw Xu Tianxin beat an egg, he was really greedy and learned from his niece to beat one: "What kind of good day is this, this is, I'll make some noodles in a while, I can't be happy." ”

Yu Dali also sweated from eating, thinking: Indeed, Xu's delicacies will always refresh his cognition.

At the same time, don't look at the Xu family, no one came to visit the door today, but the married girls and aunts who didn't leave the village, they had nothing to do after eating, and they actually pleaded with each other to the large open space that the Xu family bought newly.

Yesterday, many people saw the wealth of the Xu family, let's describe it this way, the sauce cubes that the old Xu family wants to make sauce are actually like a wall, stacked on the boxes of each house and almost reached the roof.

Some people are poor, and when they go home, they are very emotional: "I can't even afford the oil paper that Xu family wrapped in those sauce cubes." "Don't talk about soybeans.

And the sauce cubes can save so much, they are really curious about how big the homestead the Xu family has bought, and even the crops have to be hired to grow people, and one hire is two hundred people.

"Look, this large area is the homestead of the Xu family." Many old fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law seemed to be showing off their property, and said proudly: "That large area, this autumn will not be able to prepare the Xu family's red sorghum field." ”

"Emma......" everyone was amazed. This time, when I go back to my mother-in-law's house, I can straighten my waist and say that we have to go back to my mother's house to work and earn money, and we can't help the family farm. Unless the in-laws' other rooms don't want money. It's impossible, they will definitely be able to come out, and if they earn more, they can hide a little bit themselves.

Everyone was still amazed, Emma, who is that person in the distance? Surrounded by firewood, no one can be seen.

The red date father bent over with a large bundle of firewood on his back, and dragged two large bundles towards the Guan family with difficulty.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the god of the stove is welcomed.

The brothers of the Xu family are ready to set off after eating a shabu-shabu, we can't eat meat in vain, we have to climb the mountain and find a way to earn the meat money back.

Originally, the people who went were all their own families, and they didn't tell anyone about finding expensive wood. Only the brothers and grandchildren are allowed, and one bird is left at home. The table is full of tigers, Yu Dali, and the son-in-law who was kicked out by Meizhuang.

The son-in-law was very aggrieved: "What am I doing when I'm so thin?" The tiger jumped ten feet high, and I didn't have enough to stuff his teeth. ”

Meizhuang said, there are no merchants in the shop, you follow up the mountain, and you can't stay at home while guarding the ox cart below.

It stands to reason that these people are enough, but he didn't expect that as soon as he left the village, the red date father who was supposed to rest jumped into the car, he couldn't thank the Xu family for helping his daughter, and he had to take action. I heard about it yesterday when I went to Guan's house to deliver firewood.

Walking and walking, Liu Jingdong waved his arms and ran wildly and shouted: "Brothers, wait for me!" ”

He was a step late to get more dry food for his brothers.
