The sisters and brothers went to the mall to buy two large freezers to store the New Year's goods, for fear that they would be closed anywhere during the Chinese New Year, and they couldn't buy delicious food if they wanted to.

The freezer I bought at noon was delivered in the afternoon, and the delivery master helped carry the freezer into the warehouse, "Children, the freezer should be put on for 24 hours before plugging in, don't plug in the electricity early." ”

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu obediently responded that the temperature in the warehouse was above zero, and the seafood had to be thawed for 24 hours, so they could only take it back there and freeze it for a day, and send it over tomorrow.

Just send the New Year's gift to someone else's family first, and save yourself from being afraid of thieves at home.

When the package was opened, all the seafood was wrapped in oiled paper or lotus leaves, and the sisters and brothers went out with a big basket on their backs.

Snowflakes fell in the sky again, and although the cold in the village was alleviated, almost no one wanted to go out on a snowy day.

"Fifth uncle, this is the shrimp and sea fish we bought at the dock, I wish the fifth uncle's family every year to have fish and be high."

"Aunt Vanilla, this is fish and prawns, it is delicious to eat fried in oil or boiled in salted water...... Uh-huh, the omen is good...... Yes, yes, the rise is rising, and I and the second tiger wish Aunt Vanilla more than every year. ”

"Second grandma, you can keep the fish and prawns for the New Year...... I didn't keep food, I had to go to the fourth grandmother's house and bring them some New Year's goods. The fourth grandmother and the second uncle have been in the city before, and I don't know how to prepare when they come back for the New Year......"

Walked all the way and sent it all the way, and finally returned to the house of the fourth grandmother in the west of the village, Lin Erhu just knocked on the door twice outside, and the voice of the fourth grandmother came from inside, "Who?" ”

"Fourth grandmother, it's me and my sister."

"Oops, why are you here so late? Have you eaten it? ”

As she spoke, the fourth grandmother opened the door, and Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu saw the fourth grandmother standing in the door with a smile on her face in a new dress.

Lin Xiaoman walked towards the yard and untied the basket on his back, "I didn't eat, I didn't walk around the village, and when I finally arrived at the fourth grandmother's house, I wanted to eat at the fourth grandmother's house." ”

The fourth grandmother smiled even more when she heard this, "Chengcheng, the fourth grandmother is going to fry a few dishes that Xiaoman and Erhu love to eat." ”

When they came back from the city this time, they also brought a lot of New Year's goods, and as soon as they entered the village, they were seen by many people and asked her how much money they made.

Of course, the fourth grandmother can't tell the truth, but the wealth that should be shown has not fallen, but she envied those people.

Lin Erlai also heard the voice in the house, and walked out with a crutch, Lin Erhu hurriedly ran over, "Oops, it's slippery outside, why did Uncle Erlai come out?" ”

Lin Erlai didn't come into the snow, he just stood under the eaves and smiled at them, "Didn't I hear that you guys are here, I heard that Erhu has been studying with Mr. Xu recently, how are you learning?" ”

Speaking of this, Lin Erhu looked proud, "Although Mr.'s mouth is harder than a stone, he just refuses to praise me for being smart, but I know that I am the smartest disciple he has ever taught." ”

Lin Erlai was in good spirits when he heard it, "Come, come into the house and talk to Uncle Erlai." ”

Seeing Lin Erlai pulling Lin Erhu into the house, Lin Xiaoman was also curious about where Lin Erhu got his confidence, and he also entered the house together.

The fourth grandmother was proud of Lin Erhu's cleverness, "Oh, we can't be wrong with Erhu, we are smarter than other children in the village." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Lin Xiaoman, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoman is also a girl, if he is a boy, he is smarter than the second tiger." ”

Lin Xiaoman couldn't cry or laugh, but the fourth grandmother would serve water, was she afraid of praising the second tiger, was she jealous?

In the house, Lin Erlai pulled Lin Erhu and said, "I heard from the Xu family that Mr. Xu taught the prince to read in the palace, why is Erhu smarter than the prince?" ”

Lin Erhu didn't know this, and when he heard Lin Erlai ask him if he was smarter than the prince, he began to regret that he shouldn't have said a lot of words, and said: "Of course, the prince is the smartest, how can I compare with the prince?" It's a question that I can do, and my husband can't do it. ”

"Huh? What can you do, but Mr. Xu can't do it? ”

Lin Erhu said: "That day, Mr. read a book of mathematics, there was a question on it, asking that there was a bucket of water, the bucket weighed 250 catties, after using half of the water, there were 145 catties in the bucket, and asked how many catties of water were in the bucket?" How much does a bucket weigh? I answered after listening to it, and the gentleman didn't understand it after taking the pen for a long time. ”

Lin Erlai looked sluggish, "Then how many catties of water are there?" How much does a bucket weigh? Why are you here? ”

Lin Erhu explained to him, "Use water to add the weight of the bucket minus the weight of the remaining half bucket of water and the weight of the bucket, you can calculate how many catties of half a bucket of water is, know how many catties of half a bucket of water, you can calculate how many catties of a bucket of water, subtract the weight of water from the weight of the bucket, don't you know how many catties of the bucket?" ”

After listening to Lin Erhu's explanation, Lin Erlai insisted on calculating for a while before he understood, and the eyes that looked at Lin Xiaoman were full of guilt, "Xiaoman, you see that Erhu is so easy to understand, I will still take care of the account for you, and I have to listen to him to finish it before I can calculate it, and I am sorry for this account." ”

Lin Xiaoman didn't expect that a fourth-grade math problem would make their second uncle unconfident, but who else could he use if he didn't let him manage the accounts? The ones in the village who don't even recognize the words?

"Uncle Erlai, you also heard what Erhu said, Mr. Xu didn't figure it out, don't you help me take care of the accounts? Is it possible that I have to find someone stronger than Mr. Xu? ”

Lin Erlai felt that Lin Xiaoman was reasonable, and sighed, "Then I will help you manage the accounts, and in the future, Erhu will teach your uncle to settle the accounts." ”

"Howler! It's okay in the first month, and I'll come to teach Uncle Erlai in the evening. ”

The fourth grandmother was full of relief, "I said a long time ago that the second tiger is a capable person, this time I am not wrong at all." Hey, Erhu, you will study hard in the future, Mr. Xu can enter the Shi and the first, why don't you come back with a top prize? The fourth grandmother and your second uncle are waiting to enjoy your blessings. ”

Lin Erhu was a little unable to find the north after being examined, patted his chest and promised, "Fourth grandmother, just wait and see, when I become a big official, I will take the fourth grandmother and the second uncle to enjoy the blessings." ”

As he spoke, Lin Xiaoman poured out all the things in the basket, in addition to the standard fish and shrimp, Lin Xiaoman also bought two cans of elderly milk powder for the fourth grandmother, and poured them out and filled them in small clay pots.

"Fourth grandma, this is the milk powder we bought at the dock, and I will get up early in the morning to drink two spoonfuls of water, I heard that this is the most nourishing."

The fourth grandmother saw this for the first time, picked it up and looked at it, and then pinched it and put it in her mouth and tasted it, "It's weird and fragrant." ”

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "There is also a bag of sugar, if the fourth grandmother doesn't like it, she can put a spoonful of sugar, but she can't drink more sugar water when she is old, and many rich people in the city drink water all day with sugar, and they have a disease called thirst syndrome." By the way, don't always drink the sour plum soup made by the fourth grandmother. ”

The fourth grandmother was surprised when she heard this, "It seems that it's not a good thing for this person to be rich." ”
