It's winter, and this is the first time Zeng Xiaohua has returned to Chaihe County after leaving home.

Today's Chaihe County has undergone drastic changes compared to before, with rows of buildings lining wide streets, and markets that are not as diverse as those in the city, but which incorporate a wide variety of "imported" goods.

Zeng Xiaohua followed the direction in her memory to the original location of her house, but found that an apartment building was already being built here, and the original house was long gone.

She is now condensed, and she plans to take leave to come back to see her family, and she is estimated to have to prepare for the New Year, and when she thinks of facing her own catastrophe, her little hands can't help but clench.

I haven't contacted my family for half a year, and I don't know how Gua Bao is doing in Shengjing Temple, and I didn't see Master Yishan when I returned to the villa from Yufeng Mountain this time, and I don't know if Gua Bao didn't contact my family.

Seeing a few uncles dressed as workers resting and chatting outside the construction site, she thought about her mind and didn't pay attention to what they were talking about, so she stepped forward and asked politely:

"Hello uncles! Excuse me, where have all the original people here? ”

A few rough men covered in mud were chatting about meat jokes, and suddenly saw this little girl with an extraordinary bearing, and immediately stopped their mouths, and one of the older ones grinned with yellow teeth and smiled:

"This young lady, these upstarts have taken the demolition money, where do they want to go, it's not their own business? Where do we who dig and fill in the bricks know? ”

"That's it, thank you!"

After Zeng Xiaohua finished speaking, she threw out a grain of broken silver, as a thank you, this is what she specially asked someone to exchange before she came, her moon silver is the entire ingot, although she practiced in Yufeng Mountain, but after returning to the villa, Da Xuan still sent her half a year's spirit stone, and Li Wenchang also sent her half a year's moon silver, she didn't want it, but they said that everyone took it like this, how could others be embarrassed to take it after she didn't take it?

In the end, it was Li Wenchang's serious sentence: "This is set by the young master." She reluctantly put it away.

Needless to say, spirit stones are hard to find in the mortal world, even if you hold gold, you may not be able to buy them, and she is actually shocked by the bag of silver in the storage bag.

In previous years, when the family was the richest, it was just to see that my father had saved more than 30 taels of silver in the bank, but his monthly income for half a year was actually more than 320 taels.

In fact, at the beginning, Tang Xiao ordered them pocket money for two taels of silver a month, but they couldn't stand Li Wenchang Daxuan and the two players could earn it, the more money they earned, the more business began to be exported across borders, and the red envelopes and monthly silver for the New Year's holidays couldn't help but grow up with the rise of dividends, so they didn't do anything, and the children who were only responsible for cultivation could save two or three hundred taels of silver for half a year.

Tang Xiao is not afraid of them spending indiscriminately, after all, there are people who control them, the children don't have to worry about food and clothing, most of them keep their money in Li Wenchang, Zeng Xiaohua also thought of going home, so he brought all the silver, he has no place to spend it, his father and mother can spend it.

When I went back to the villa, I went to the city with Tang Xiaosi to play, and I met Qian Si who went to other places to lose clean and beg for food, and the old man posted it as soon as he saw him, if it weren't for Tang Xiaosi followed by the fierce melon skin brother, I am afraid that this old man would pick up Tang Xiaosi and shake it again, and shake out all the valuable things on his body and take them away.

Tang Xiaosi actually has cultivation on his body, and he is no longer the eight-year-old baby who has no power to tie the chicken, but this gambler is his father, he can't let himself be too cruel to him, he didn't recognize Qian Si, and let people drive him out of the city, after all, there is no gambling house in the city, which is not suitable for him.

Tang Xiaosi went back to the city to visit his mother, although after the new city was built, he did not recognize the marriage built by the buying and selling relationship, but the old man Zhang was very good to his mother, her mother had faced the rotten man of Qian Si for so many years, and these days with the old man Zhang were the birthday of peace that she had never had, so the two officially got married in the yamen and became a legal husband and wife.

After eating a home-cooked meal at Tang Xiaosiniang's house, Zeng Xiaohua especially thought about her father, Chaihe County was so close, she couldn't rush home immediately, and make a delicious meal for her father and mother, so she returned to the villa and took a few days off, and embarked on the road back to Chaihe County alone.

……

Seeing that he answered casually, he got the broken silver, and several other rough men all cast envious glances at the big yellow teeth, in the past, some people wanted to move their minds if they couldn't keep it right, but now it's different, the security officers and patrols sent by the yamen are everywhere, and there are many monks inside, and the days outside are better now, and it's easy to make money, and no one wants to break the law easily in this environment.

Zeng Xiaohua's disappointed figure had not gone far, and her hearing was already far better than that of ordinary people, when she heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Lao Zeng, look, the girl who just talked to Liu Da and them is like your little flower."

"Can't! My little flower went to cultivate immortals with immortals, where can I come back easily. ”

Zeng Guangxian wore a hard hat on his head, pushed a cart of cement, and although he said so, he couldn't help but look in the direction that his old neighbor said.

This look just happened to meet the sight of Zeng Xiaohua who turned around.

Zeng Guangxian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wiped the mud on his face with his sleeve, but there was a lot of cement on his sleeve, which made his face even dirtier.

Zeng Xiaohua saw her father in his thirties pushing the cement station on the construction site in a dirty manner, his tanned skin and unshaven face were far from the father she remembered who was doing a small business and liked to be decent, everyone's life has become better, why does her father look much worse than before?!

She rushed over with red eyes.

Zeng Guangxian anxiously searched left and right, and said, "Oh no! Blurted out.

The old neighbors who moved the bricks together were surprised:

"What's wrong?"

Zeng Guangxian wanted to find a place to hide, and finally squatted directly behind the cement truck and whispered:

"Shhhh Looks like it's really my daughter! ”

"Then what are you hiding?"

"And asked, how am I ......?"

"Daddy!"

Without waiting for Zeng Guangxian to finish speaking, Zeng Xiaohua had easily stepped over the fence of the construction site and stood in front of his cement truck.

The old neighbor on the side saw Zeng Xiaohua, who was dressed in brocade clothes and had an extraordinary bearing, and said with a smile:

"What a little flower! It seems that you won't have to come to the construction site with me to look for work in the future. ”

As he spoke, he gently kicked Zeng Guangxian, who was squatting on the ground.

Zeng Guangxian listened to the choked voice of his daughter, poked his head out, looked at his daughter with a little sourness, laughed dryly, and said:

"Oops! Little Flower is back? You can't ...... on this site."

As he spoke, he was about to take off his helmet and hand it to Zeng Xiaohua, and when he picked it up and saw the dirty hat in his hand, he retracted his hand and said:

"Lao Deng, you give me a leave, I'll go home first."

After speaking, he stepped forward:

"Let's go home and talk."

He patted the ash on his hands and walked to the front, lest his dirty hands couldn't help but stain his girl's clothes, who knew that Zeng Xiaohua hugged him:

"Daddy! My daughter is not filial, and she didn't come back to see you earlier, didn't she say that she lost a lot of money for demolition? How are you on this construction site? ”

Listening to his daughter's crying inquiry, Zeng Guangxian's face softened, turned around and stretched out his dirty hand to pat Zeng Xiaohua's head, but he stretched out and stopped in mid-air, for fear of soiling his daughter's hair, Zeng Xiaohua pressed his big hand on his head:

"My daughter is a monk now! Don't be afraid to get dirty! ”

"Really?!"

Zeng Guangxian's eyes lit up, he thought that it would take at least three or five years for his daughter to follow the immortals before he had the opportunity to practice, but he didn't expect that she would already be a monk after only half a year.

Zeng Guangxian took his daughter back to his home in a newly built five-story apartment, a small two-bedroom house.

This is still the demolition and distribution of Zeng Xiaohua's grandmother's old house.

Seeing Zeng Xiaohua come back, her mother and grandmother were very happy, and wanted to make her stewed food, she drove the two out of the kitchen, took out the ingredients she brought from the storage bag, and made them a large table of longevity-prolonging fairy dishes, although she can't compare with Afan's craftsmanship, but she is very talented, she is already a second-grade fairy chef, and she is at ease when she makes an ordinary fairy dish that can be eaten by mortals.

Grandma and Daddy had a lot to say at the dinner table, because of this delicious food that had never been eaten before, they forgot to speak for a while, and the family worked hard until the cup and plate bottomed out, and Grandma touched Zeng Xiaohua's head and said lovingly and happily:

"Xiaohua, didn't you follow the immortal cultivators? You're not going to learn to be a cook, are you?! It's so delicious! ”

Looking at her grandmother, who was obviously much better, Zeng Xiaohua told her family about her practice and learning fairy cooking.

The family is very happy, although they don't understand how the cook has something to do with cultivating immortals, but just for her, this craft is not something that ordinary people can taste, in short, it is better than helping at home and growing up and marrying people as originally thought.

Zeng Xiaohua finished talking about her practice, and it was her father's turn to talk about her family's affairs, Zeng Guangxian, and her mother-in-law Liu Wan.

It turned out that since her sister and brother left, the uncle's family said that Zeng Guangxian was unfilial, and sent his children out, and he was not qualified to inherit the façade and house of the family, and the old man didn't know what to think, so he really took back the façade, Zeng Guangxian had no choice but to pay for renting the façade to continue to do business.

But there are a lot of new things in the city, and the old things in his hand will soon be no one wanted, and he has been to the city a few times, but the supply of work said that at least a hundred taels of orders will be delivered, he thinks that this business can be done, after all, the goods in the city are sold very well, so he came back and Liu Wan summed it up, sold the old house, and made up enough one hundred taels to place an order.

Who knew that the guy wanted to collect his relationship money, otherwise he would have to give a hundred taels of silver as a deposit, and the guy would ask for twenty taels as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was not easy for the couple to make up this hundred taels, where was there still twenty taels for him, so he didn't talk about it, and returned to Chaihe County with a disgraced face, ready to use the silver in his hand to make some other living.

This day is unlucky, the old man in the family is learning to practice Buddhism and offering incense outside, I don't know how to put myself in, and a large group of monks were caught in the yamen, to pay a large fine, the family money and façade were contributed to the Buddhist temple by the old man, where is the money to fish people, so the hundred taels in their hands suddenly became the old man's life-saving money.

The old man was rescued from a serious illness, living with the uncle of the Zeng family, and now he is still a little nervous.

Later, the city came to the construction team, saying that a large number of workers should be recruited, the wages were high, and the welfare benefits were not bad, Zeng Guangxian thought that he had to get some capital, so he went to the construction site......
