Chapter 214: The Water Is Not Deep
The almanac is such a magical thing.
Obviously, it was raining and snowing a few days ago, and it was so cold that it could freeze the old dog to death.
On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky suddenly cleared, and the temperature was so warm that people wanted to take off their cotton jackets and wear two layers of single clothes neatly.
After breakfast, Yang Ge stood outside the door of his courtyard on the bench, holding a smeared red paper couplet in his hand and asked Fang Ke, who came to eat early in the morning, "Is it right?" ”
Fang Ke: "Lower to the left, and then to the left...... That's right! ”
Yang Ge pasted the couplet, jumped off the bench and took a look back, and then moved the bench under the lintel.
Fang Ke handed the horizontal batch to him, and Yang Ge took the horizontal batch and signaled to the lintel: "Is it right?" ”
Fang Ke: "That's right! ”
Yang Ge posted the horizontal batch, jumped off the bench and clapped his hands: "Let's work!" ”
At the right time, the courtyard door next to it opened, and Xie Yunzhi, who was facing the sky, walked out of the courtyard door with a small medicine box, saw Yang Ge who was looking at his couplet, and followed his gaze to see the door of his house: "Five blessings are always in the house of Jishan, and the auspicious star will always shine on the safe house, and everything will go well." ”
She couldn't help but wonder.
She has seen a lot of people who are ambitious and talented, and whose hearts are higher than the sky.
But she obviously has the great ability to help the people and the world, and she has only seen one of her neighbors.
Yang Ge smiled and greeted Xie Yunzhi: "Miss Xie, is the Chinese New Year's Eve still going to the doctor?" ”
Xie Yunzhi smiled and bowed: "It's not a home visit, it's just a routine follow-up to a few patients." ”
Time smooths out a lot of things.
Three years have passed, and her whole person is much more peaceful, no longer as melancholy and broken as when she first arrived at Luting, although her appearance has also become dark and rough, but there is a kind of fresh and pure charm.
"Good work."
Yang Ge responded with a smile: "Is there anything wrong at night?" It's okay to come over for a late night snack! ”
Xie Yunzhi smiled and waved his hand: "Don't bother, the young lady said to eat flat food tonight." ”
Yang Ge waved his hand: "Okay, slow down on the road." ”
Xie Yunzhi nodded, turned around and left with the small medicine box.
However, before she went far, a small head poked out of the open courtyard door, and beckoned to Yang Ge with a smile: "Brother Yang, don't listen to her, I'll bring the flat food over at night, let's eat together." ”
"Young lady!"
Xie Yunzhi's funny and angry shouts were heard in the distance.
Yang Ge also pretended not to hear, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's decided, what do you want to eat at night?" I'll do it for you. ”
The little head at the gate of the courtyard heard this, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Glutinous rice balls!" ”
Yang Ge gave her a thumbs up: "Know the goods!" ”
"Hey, hey."
"Alright, get busy with your business, I'll go back and continue cleaning."
"Hey, I've steamed buns in the pot, and I'll send you a drawer later."
"That's a good feeling......
Yang Ge carried the bench back to the courtyard, Fang Ke nodded at the little girl over there with a smile, and followed Yang Ge into the house.
"Don't close the door, leave it open."
"Hey."
Yang Ge took a broom, brushed away the dog son who was smiling at his feet, and then sprinkled and swept the courtyard.
Fang Ke stepped forward and took the broom in his hand: "My lord, I'll come." ”
Yang Ge was not polite to him, handed him the broom, turned around and went to the room to get a basin of clean water, twisted the rag boy and carefully wiped the dust on the doors and windows.
Fang Ke looked at his appearance of stepping on the bench and wiping the door frame, and pretended to smile casually: "My lord, there should be a woman in this house......
Yang Ge glanced at him, and said with an angry smile: "If you can do it, if you can't do it, just sit and wait to eat ready-made, don't force me to slap you on a festive day!" ”
Fang Ke said with a "hehe" smile: "Originally, you said that you are an idle person, and you run out twice in three days, and there is not even a person in this family who feeds Xiaohuang...... When I came home after going home, there was dust at home, right? ”
Yang Ge: "I still have a home, what about you?" ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, threw down the rag and turned to look at Fang Ke: "By the way, I have never heard you mention your own marriage, what do you think?" ”
Fang Ke hurriedly said: "You haven't even started a family, how can I start a family before you?" ”
Yang Ge: "If I don't have a family, it's your business?" ”
Fang Ke had no choice but to say, "Haven't I had time to think about this yet?" I must think about it when I look back. ”
Yang Ge looked at him suspiciously: "It stands to reason that you are not short of money, right?" The official is not small, right? ”
Fang Ke: "There is no shortage of it, how much oil and water there is in Weili, don't you know?" You'd better worry about yourself, it's not easy for me to marry? Marry seven in one go! ”
Yang Ge was about to speak, when he heard a "bang", the half-hidden courtyard door was kicked open, and Liu Mang, who was dressed in new clothes, rushed in with two bags of New Year's goods and laughing: "Where's the rice balls?" Sprinkle the family's rice balls! ”
Behind him, Liu Deng, who had a big belly, walked in with the old shopkeeper on crutches across the threshold, and the old shopkeeper looked at his eldest son and glared at him: "Decent!" How old are you, can you be in shape? ”
Fang Ke also smiled and gave Liu Mang a thumbs up...... Today, if you dare to kick this door, it is estimated that this is the master!
Yang Ge jumped down from the bench, took the New Year's goods from Liu Mang's hand, and complained in a low voice with a smile: "Come on, what kind of gift do you bring?" ”
He invited the old treasurer's family to come over today to celebrate the Chinese New Year's Eve last night.
Liu Mang said in a weird way: "I'm afraid that if you don't give gifts, you won't cook it for us to eat!" ”
Yang Ge couldn't help but smile and said, "You can just skin it and find a place to sit by yourself...... Lao Fang, go to the house and move a few chairs out, the weather is good today, just basking in the sun, by the way, there are melons and fruits on the table, and take them out. ”
Fang Ke answered, dropped the broom and went into the house to move the chair.
Yang Ge collected the New Year's goods brought by Liu Mang, and turned around to help the old shopkeeper to sit under the grape trellis.
Xiao Huang pouted the plane, shook his ass, and leaned in front of the old shopkeeper.
"Good girl, do you miss grandpa?"
The old shopkeeper stroked Xiao Huang with one hand, and with the other hand trembling, he took out a palm-sized handkerchief from the placket, teasing Xiao Huang slowly uncovering layer by layer, revealing a boiled egg: "Look, what is this?" ”
The clear sunlight hit his body, and his gray hair seemed to be transparent, reflecting his old face, becoming more and more kind.
Yang Ge looked at this scene and suddenly didn't dare to look at it again......
"Second uncle, do you want to help?"
Liu Deng rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to ask Yang Ge.
Yang Ge was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't you dare, sister-in-law is now the living ancestor of our family, you rest, you want to eat and drink whatever you want, even if you call me and Lao Fang ......"
Liu Deng smiled: "How can you be so squeamish, at home, your reckless brother hasn't called me around!" ”
"Huh?"
Yang Ge turned his head and looked at Liu Mang with an unkind gaze.
Liu Mang, who was grabbing a piece of mung bean cake and gnawing on the side, heard the words and shouted: "What's the matter, you wronged me again!" ”
Yang Ge was not used to him, so he stepped forward and grabbed him, and pressed him on the grape trellis with a "snap": "Can't you tell the difference between the big and small kings?" Sister-in-law is also what you can call now? ”
Liu Mang held the mung bean cake in his mouth, and shouted indistinctly: "Clothes, clothes, the new clothes I just wore today......"
Liu Deng crossed his waist and laughed "hahaha".
The old shopkeeper also held his cane, and applauded with a smile: "Yes, work hard to repair him!" ”
The yard was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
In a few moments, the courtyard was filled with cooking smoke.
Yang Ge first fried a large basket of crispy pork, brought it out for them as a snack, and then stewed all the chicken and duck......
"Tuk-tuk."
There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Baoqi's shouting came from outside the door: "Shopkeeper, New Year's greetings!" ”
Fang Ke opened the courtyard door, and saw Yuelai Sixiong wearing new clothes, carrying large bags and small bags, neatly poked outside the door, pretending to be unkind: "The second master didn't invite you, right?" ”
Xiao Baoqi grinned and said with a shameless smile: "Look at what you said, who else needs to be invited for New Year's greetings?" ”
Before he finished speaking, he squeezed Fang Ke's arm and stepped into the courtyard, and the hooligans, fleas and others behind him also swarmed in.
"Yo, where is the old shopkeeper?"
"Second master, New Year's greetings!"
Fang Ke closed the courtyard door, turned around and returned to the courtyard with tears and laughter, but before he could reach the grape trellis, he heard a knock on the door again.
He had to turn around and open the door again.
"Yo, Lord Fang is also there?"
Outside the door, Wu Eryong, the leader of the chain dock in new clothes, led a group of chain dock minions wearing red belts and carrying large bags of New Year's goods, and waved his hands with a smile.
"It's Brother Wu!"
Fang Ke turned sideways and made a "please" gesture to the courtyard: "Hurry up, please come in!" ”
Wu Eryong nodded, turned his head and said to the minions behind him, "Lighter hands and feet......
Seeing this, Yang Ge, who came out of the room, said with a smile: "It's Eryong, the place is small, find a place to sit by yourself, and stay here to eat later." ”
"The old shopkeeper is also here, just right, I won't go on a second trip...... Second master, don't be busy, the little one will sit for a while and leave, and you have to rush back to the dock overnight. ”
Wu Eryong waved his hand in response, and finally waved his hand to the minions behind him: "Second master, this is a little bit of New Year's worth of our old master and young master, these are the second master's, these are the old shopkeeper's!" ”
Yang Ge glanced at it and saw that there were all kinds of mountain goods and medicinal materials, although they were all rare boutiques, but fortunately, they were not gold and silver, so he immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you Uncle Li for me...... Old Fang, you go to my house and take out the New Year's goods I prepared for Uncle Li, and let Er Yong take them back by the way. ”
Fang Ke answered, and was about to enter the house, when the half-hidden courtyard door was knocked again.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Wei Xin's smiling tiger.
"Second master, New Year's greetings!"
Wei Xin, who was dressed in new clothes, stood outside the courtyard gate and waved his hands, and behind him was also followed by a Mingjiao minions with red belts, at first glance, there were more people than Lianwu.
Seeing this, Wu Eryong hurriedly commanded the minions of their serial dock to retreat to the side to make room for the people of the Ming Sect.
Yang Ge wiped his hands on the apron with a headache, and took off the apron to welcome him out: "It's Wei Xin, come in and sit." ”
"Hey!"
Wei Xin waved back and entered the house with a large number of Mingjiao minions: "Second master, Chinese New Year's Eve Ankang...... These are the little New Year's wishes of my hall master, the right envoy and the sect master, these are my hall master's, these are the right envoys, and these are the sect master's. ”
Yang Ge glanced at the New Year's goods sent by Mingjiao and others with a headache, and he couldn't see what was inside, and it was not good to take it apart in person or directly refuse people thousands of miles away, so he had to wave his hand and return the salute: "Thank you Uncle Yang and your family leader for me, Lao Fang, there are also Uncle Yang's New Year's goods in the house, you can take them together." ”
Fang Ke pulled his legs and walked to the back room, but only after taking a few steps, he heard a knock on the door again.
Everyone in the courtyard looked back together, and saw a merry figure wearing a red pomegranate skirt, standing outside the courtyard gate and looking in.
As soon as Yang Ge saw the visitor, his head was big, and he said angrily: "Why are you here too?" ”
Liu Dongjun in front of the courtyard asked confidently: "They can all come, why can't my aunt and grandmother come?" ”
Yang Ge couldn't complain, so he simply said: "Old Fang, you go outside and see how many people are still in the alley!" ”
"Hey!"
Fang Ke answered, squeezed through the crowd and went out.
Seeing this, Liu Dongjun turned his head and beckoned: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Walking! ”
She walked in with her head up, and said proudly: "We don't have to fix those empty things between our uncle and sister-in-law, oh, these are a little New Year's Festival that our sect master sent you, and these are the twelve local support sisters-in-law ......and sister-in-law who brought them along the way."
The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and before she finished speaking, she couldn't help but take two steps back: "Na na, don't hit the smiling person, it's Chinese New Year's Eve!" ”
But it was she who caught a glimpse of Yang Ge's fists being hard.
Yang Ge tried to release his fist, opening his mouth several times and not knowing what to say.
If you want to say that you don't have any friendship with the White Lotus Sect at all......
The twelve earthly branches and him are indeed lifelong friendships.
And for the Chinese New Year, people come all the way to pay New Year's greetings, and they don't give any face, which seems to be really unreasonable.
He could only reluctantly say: "Okay, put things down, people hurry up!" ”
Liu Dongjun was surprised: "You're not, right?" My sister-in-law came all the way to give you a New Year's greeting, and you didn't leave your sister-in-law to eat? See Shen Lao Er in the future, are you still embarrassed to say hello? ”
Yange's fists were hard again.
At the right time, Fang Ke came back.
However, he didn't come back alone, and he also brought a large group of people and horses wearing black power suits and oxtail knives hanging from their waists, led by a person wearing a vermilion python robe and a purple coat outside, and it was Wei Heng, the superintendent of the West Factory Factory.
As soon as Wei Heng stepped into the courtyard, his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he waved his hand and said, "Congratulations to Yang Hou Ye, congratulations to Yang Hou Ye!" ”
As he spoke, a little eunuch behind him pinched his throat and shouted softly in a sharp but not too loud voice: "The Holy Decree has arrived!" ”
Yang Ge glanced at them speechlessly, and didn't pay attention to the little eunuch holding the holy decree in both hands, but turned his gaze directly to Fang Ke: "They're just outside the door?" ”
Fang Ke: "Not only that, but there are also people from the Quanzhen Sect, people from the Five Poisons Sect, people from Louwailou, people from the Zhengqi Alliance, people from the Jiangdong Xiang family, and people from the Wufeng fleet......
He shook his head like a rattle: "I can't see the head, I can't see the head at all!" ”
Yangge: ......
In the bustling courtyard, Liu Mang was the only one shining in his eyes: 'Open your eyes, open your eyes......
