After drinking at the house of the house, Zhong Qian'an went home in a dizzy mood.

Didn't say a few words to my wife.

He waved his hand and lay down on the bed, snoring and fell asleep.

This made Zhong Qiandong, the third brother who was supporting his elder brother, a little confused: "Brother can't drink so much wine?" But he still bowed to his elder sister-in-law: "In this way, my elder brother will bother my elder sister-in-law to take care of him. If I don't have my business, I will go to work on something else!"

The eldest daughter-in-law nodded repeatedly while tucking the corner of the quilt: "I'm here, uncle, go and do it!"

Then Zhong Qian left.

Although they are all family members, sometimes some things need to be avoided, right?

After coming out of the house, the second brother Zhong Qian came in with the peach wood: "Three, what's wrong with the eldest brother?" He put down his things and looked at the brick and tile house of the eldest brother, he was a little stunned: "I heard that the eldest brother seems to be drinking more in the house?"

The third brother shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who knows!" He sighed: "Auntie came over and shouted, "I went over to help my elder brother back. I saw Uncle Liangen and Uncle Lian drink a lot, and they were muttering something difficult to deal with..." He came to his second brother, helped put the peach wood in the middle of the yard, and asked, "...Is it possible that the county will be scheduling labor again next year?"

Zhong Qian was slightly stunned: "I want to recruit labor service again?" He was really not clear about this matter, but when he thought that the names of recruitment labor service were all on the county government, he couldn't help but frown and said: "The Chinese New Year has just passed, is it because the embankment on the Caohe River is tight again?"

In the past, labor service was all summer, and we avoided the season of farming and harvesting during the slack farming period.

The third brother Zhong Qian nodded: "I'll go out and ask!"

There was some news from neighbors, and he also brought some pork and lard: "Our long-term worker, Old Man Sun, has not returned. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I will pick him up some meat and let him eat some good food by himself!"

Zhong Qian nodded quietly: "That's what it should be. After all, it's very hardworking for our family!" He also reminded: "But I have to tell Old Man Sun that when it's New Year's Eve, I'll come to my house to eat some dumplings. If I can't go back to celebrate the New Year, I can't treat others badly during the New Year!" This long-term worker is equivalent to half of my family, and must be treated preferentially!

The third brother Zhong Qiandong naturally knew about this: "The reputation of our Zhong family must not be defeated by others!" Then, carrying more than half a pound of fat pork and half a can of lard, he carried a cabbage and left the house.

Other long-term workers went home for the New Year, and the remaining old man Sun lived alone, so of course he could eat more meat.

The eldest brother is drunk.

The two brothers who made the idea were naturally the second brother and the third brother, so they just need to discuss it.

No one in the Zhong family is as good as a big one, and they make money with kindness. The good family tradition that has been passed down from the old man Zhong Cheng is now rich and has become a small landlord in Kuaisan Village. He knows the benefits of being kind to everyone!

The most important thing is that everyone is kind and has no bullying and arrogant attitude. How can the relationship be bad?

"Click"

The second son Zhong Qianxi continued to hold the axe and chop the cut down peach wood.

I also have to hang peach talismans at home, and I just happen to know some carpenter skills. I don’t have to buy them outside: “Use a saw and a carving knife to carefully follow the style and slowly make some peach talismans. There is nothing difficult about peach talismans!” A ding-dangling voice appeared in the courtyard.

In the middle, there was a ginger candy water sent by my wife and sister-in-law. After drinking it, I was sweating profusely.

But I tried my best.

However, as the evening approached, a carriage came outside the Zhong family, marking the Sun Family Store in the county.

The two men and women came down, and they came to the gate of the courtyard with respect and gently knocked on the stone ring: "Is this the Zhong family in Kuangshan Village?" Seeing Zhong Qianxi, who was holding tools in the courtyard with peach cards engraved, he immediately smiled and said, "Second Brother Xi!"

The second son Zhong Qianxi turned his head when he heard the voice: "Who?" and then his face was slightly stunned.

Scan the man.

He was surprised: "It turned out to be you!" The young man led was the concierge at the Sun family at that time.

Looking at the very capable young man: "I didn't expect that Brother Ze still remembers me!" He quickly bowed: "I was ordered by my grandmother and said I should have come a few days ago, but I didn't expect that the road was blocked by heavy snow. Now I'll come here at least!"

At the same time, the Sun family entourage behind him also came to greet him: "We have met Brother Jing!"

in.

And the...little trumpet flower at that time?!

When she saw Zhong Qianxi's face, she immediately felt a little grateful in her respect: "Second Brother Cheng!" She greeted him well, without the arrogance she had at that time. Obviously, the experience of being almost married to the countryside at that time made her grow a lot.

Looking at the village and community covered with heavy snow along the way, although it has a bit of the beautiful artistic conception in poetry and books.

But living here doesn't feel that much!

This countryside is so beautiful, and there is a bustling county town?

Zhong Qian nodded with a smile: "Everyone is coming into the house!" As he said that, he wiped the wood chips from his hands and shouted at the house attentively: "A guest is coming from home, hurry up and boil some ginger candy water to warm up the house!"

Just in Zhong Peng's earthen room, his wife walked out: "Guest?" Seeing the young man standing in the courtyard and the carriage full of goods behind, she nodded: "I'll go now! Let's go now!" Looking at the carriage, full of bundles of cloth and wine jars, and boxes that were filled with unknowns, but it was absolutely valuable!

The eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law who heard the noise, and Zhong Peng, who had just coaxed the child to sleep, walked out: "What's wrong?" She swept over the arrival carriage with a crutch, and raised her brows with a slightly wrinkled brow: "...The carriage of the Sun Family Store?"

She knew the Sun Family’s business sign: “It’s cold and cold this day. Are you suffering from it when you come to this countryside?”

The four followers of the Sun family were also sensible.

He quickly saluted and greeted the elder of the Zhong family, the oldest elder, and said, "I have seen grandma!"

Zhong Peng nodded gently: "Why are you polite to me, an old woman in the countryside?" She seemed to be unintentionally glanced at the carriage outside and asked gently: "Your Sun Family Business... Why did you come to our countryside on this snowy day?"

This is also a question between Zhong Qianxi and the three sisters-in-law, especially when they brought so many things.

The concierge hurriedly said, "This is a gift to the Zhong family!"

He bent down a little, looking very humble and respectful: "The grandmother of the Sun family said that the old man Zhong Cheng was helpful to the Sun family's business at that time, and he didn't come when he was mourning. So it was approaching that the Chinese New Year, so I would send some things to express my gratitude!"

As he said that, the doorman added: "Grandma Zhong, my grandma said, "You don't have to think too much, it's purely because our Sun family business is grateful to the old man!" At the same time, he also said: "This is not a pity. After all, my grandma said that without the Zhong family's old man's advice, how could there be a Sun family business that spreads throughout Qingzhou?"

Zhong Peng's face was calm: "Since your grandmother has said this, can I be stingy?" She nodded and said to the eldest daughter-in-law next to her: "Please take care of me here, as soon as my old bone went into the house to rest."

Then she turned around and entered her earthen chamber and did not continue to say anything else outside.

In fact, the young follower was happy and relaxed.

The concierge bowed to Zhong Qian and said, "Isn't this grandma at home? Let's give me something to give me!"

As he said that, he pointed to the carriage outside and said, "It's all about grain, oil, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., oh, as well as wine, cut beef and mutton, plus the southern fruits sent from Caohe, you can eat some fresh food in both of these!"

The maid next to her also added: "There are also a few fur robes and fine satin fabrics!"

The three sisters-in-law were slightly shocked: "So many?"

They are all daughters from ordinary people's families. In terms of their own opinions, how can they compare with wealthy families in the county?

The maid smiled: "Don't be surprised, three sisters, there are jewelry given by grandma inside, all of which are silver. I'm afraid that your family will misunderstand, so I haven't dared to give gold yet!" But I didn't say much about this: "I'll ask someone from my family to move the things down!"

Zhong Qian nodded beside him: "Of course I have to move!" As he said that, he even went to call the neighbors for help.

I worked hard for half an hour.

The ones moved down were about five large boxes, which were placed in the grocery room next to the ancestral hall at home.

The doorman was drinking brown sugar ginger water and quietly pulled Zhong Qianxi to the side and reminded him: "Second Brother Xi, there are also things to visit the grave tomorrow's New Year's Eve, all of which are ordinary paper money and incense. Grandma said, don't forget!"

Zhong Qian nodded quietly: "Of course I won't forget!" He thought about it when he came back from the Sun family. Grandma of the Sun family asked him to call Aunt Zi, and she also liked to listen to the things about his old man in the past. If you think about it carefully, I'm afraid it won't matter?

But saying this would hurt others' innocence, so he chose to shut up and not ask.

The concierge did not continue to stay for too long.

He took the maid and said goodbye to the Zhong family, and prepared to rush back to the county town before dark.

Before leaving, he grabbed Zhong Qianxi's arm alone: ​​"Second Brother Xi, as a servant, we shouldn't say much." He whispered: "If you have time, you can go to Sun's house more and visit grandma!"

After saying that, he bowed into the carriage and gradually moved away as the wheels crushed the tramples in the snow.

Zhong Qian whispered: "Do you visit Aunt Zi more often at Sun's house?"

only.

He couldn't see it, and Zhong Cheng was standing here beside him: "It's true that we should go and visit A ​​Zi..."

The old man from the Zhong family looked complicated. Looking at the five big boxes next to him, he sighed softly: "I didn't expect that I was dead. Did you see it?" He was able to take the initiative to give gifts, obviously because he was afraid that the Zhong family would not be able to have a good New Year!
