People rely on the aid money to live in the courtyard

Chapter 207 Father Lou's Tea
Early in the morning of New Year's Day.

On both sides of the gray-white street are triangular white snowdrifts, with small round holes left on it, and there are many palm marks.

And there are also strange-looking snowmen piled up at the gates of some yards.

The weather was very cold, more than ten degrees below zero, and these snowmen were well preserved.

At the entrance of the gray-white alley, two people, one tall and one short, walked out.

The tall man was naked, with a very burly figure, and the short woman was dressed like a penguin, with a big red scarf around her neck, and her little face was still flushed.

"Yo, Chuanzong, you two just came out? My old man came back with his children."

A well-proportioned aunt who passed by said hello.

Yi Chuanzong replied with a normal expression: "Happy Chinese New Year, Aunt Shen, I drank a little too much yesterday, so it doesn't matter if it's late."

Lou Xiao'e greeted with an embarrassing expression, "Aunt Shen, Happy Chinese New Year."

"happy New Year!"

"Let's go to the uncle's side first, you are busy."

"Okay, let's go quickly."

After the three separated, Lou Xiao'e bumped people with her shoulder in dissatisfaction, "It's all your fault, if it weren't for you, we would have come out a long time ago, now it's all right, let people see our jokes."

Yi Chuanzong said indifferently: "We are doing business. We fired the first shot of this year. What if we win?"

Lou Xiao'e was very dissatisfied and said: "You can keep the door on your mouth! Thanks to our family living in a single courtyard, otherwise the neighbors will have to watch our jokes."

Yi Chuanzong urged, "If you are in a hurry, let's hurry over."

In fact, he pays more attention to what he says, and the couple's private conversations are naturally listened to by the two of them, and he has taken a good look before speaking.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the third master was sending people out with a smile. He turned his eyes and saw the two of them, and said directly, "Chuanzong, you two haven't come here yet. Why is it so late for the Chinese New Year?"

Yi Chuanzong grinned: "Third Master, happy Chinese New Year. I am older in our generation, and big shots are always the last to appear. I will come back to greet you later."

The third master smiled and nodded, "Earlier next year, you have to set an example for the younger brothers and sisters in the yard."

"Come on, I'll count next year."

"Okay, you go to the uncle's house first, I'll make tea and wait for you here."

The two continued to walk in. On the way, they saw the neighbor talking again. As soon as they arrived at the middle courtyard, two children ran over from the west wing.

"Uncle Chuanzong, Uncle Chuanzong, Happy New Year."

Bang Geng ran over with his younger sister while shouting, and when he came to the two of them, he brought his younger sister to kneel down, shouting in his mouth, "Uncle Chuanzong, Aunt Xiao'e, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years and an early birth!" Takako."

After the two children shouted in unison, they kowtowed three times. This action was very skillful, either it was rehearsed in advance, or it was a lot of kowtows.

Jia Zhang's age is considered the oldest, and her family's Jia Dongxu is the oldest among the younger generation.

Shazhu behind is 25 years old, and his father is quite powerful, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live in the main house.

If the first uncle's family had a child after a normal marriage for one or two years, the child would have to be about the same age as Liu Guangqi. Yan Jiefang of the third uncle's family is not too young, and it's time to get married, but the speed is not as fast as Yi Chuanzong.

Yi Chuanzong was happy, the only ones who could kowtow to him in this yard were these two children, and Sophora japonica was still too young, so he turned over.

"Daughter-in-law, give the children New Year's money, and the youngest one will be counted, and you can kowtow to make up for it in the future, and you can't lose it for a year."

Lou Xiaoe also happily took out red envelopes for the two children. She was not here during the Chinese New Year before but no one kowtowed to her. It was also the first time for a big girl to sit in a bridal sedan chair. The two of them talked about it last night and prepared it early in the morning. Just took out three small red paper packets.

"Bang Geng is usually obedient, Xiao Dang is also well-behaved, here is a red envelope for you."

Bang Geng and Xiao Dang took it quickly, "Thank you Uncle Chuanzong, thank you Aunt Xiao'e."

Yi Chuanzong nodded, and said very satisfied: "The ground is so cold, get up quickly. When the factory is divided into houses next year, you will come to visit for New Year's greetings."

Bang Geng nodded obediently, and Xiao Dang said with a small face: "Uncle Chuanzong, we have been there, but the door was not opened, only the voice of the puppy."

Lou Xiaoe's face was a little embarrassed, and she coaxed, "Okay, you guys go back to the house, I'll hang out with your Uncle Chuanzong."

Yi Chuanzong first paid New Year's greetings to the uncle. He didn't need to kowtow at such an age, but in the first year of his marriage, he brought his daughter-in-law to the door and kowtowed.

When the two came to the backyard, the deaf old lady was appointed to knock.

Originally, I just wanted to drop by to say New Year greetings to the second uncle and then go.

After all, he is also the second uncle in the yard. Among the men, he is considered to be the second oldest in age, so he has to go here first for the New Year's greetings.

I didn't expect it to be fine before entering the door. When I was about to leave after 2 minutes, the second uncle said, "Chuanzong, you should be fine the day after tomorrow, right?"

Yi Chuanzong felt a little weird in his heart, the second uncle was very kind today, he thought it was the reason for the Chinese New Year, but he didn't expect it to be something?
After thinking for a while, he understood that Liu Guangqi didn't come back for the New Year!

If it hadn't happened when we got married, maybe we would come over during the Chinese New Year in the next two years, and we wouldn't come when we had children.

Now that the whole family is at a standstill, Liu Guangqi will naturally not come back for the New Year.

"Second uncle, I do have time the day after tomorrow. Is there anything you can do here?"

The second uncle's face is still warm, and there is a trace of sadness between the brows, "Chuanzong, I'm not afraid of your jokes, that little bastard really dare not come back, it's so inconvenient for the first day of the new year, I want to talk to you Let's talk about him the night after tomorrow."

Naturally, Yi Chuanzong would not refuse. Liu Guangqi might come to him to contact Zong Lie. The New Year in his hometown is uncomfortable, and he still wants to be promoted. What is his dream?

"Okay, since you said it, second uncle, I will appoint you the day after tomorrow."

The second uncle was overjoyed, and added: "There is no need to prepare meals later, just come here to eat, and then we two have a good drink."

Yi Chuanzong was slightly taken aback, "Hey, how dare you make me do that!"

The second uncle waved his hand, "It's okay, isn't it just a meal, you treat me to a meal, I treat you to a meal, although you eat a lot, you just come to find me a drink every now and then."

Yi Chuanzong smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll go with Xiao'e first, and then I'll come to your side the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go around, the neighbors are waiting for you."

"Haha, it's a little late, try to be early next year."

The couple strolled around the yard, and in the afternoon they went to the temple fair, watched the dragon and lion dancers, and then strolled around the park.

Amidst the sound of Chinese New Year's gongs and drums, it's the second day of the new year.

On this day, there is no doubt that I will go to my husband's house.

Lou's father and Lou's mother entertained them with smiles, and the atmosphere of Lou's family was very harmonious throughout the day.

But when it was time to leave, Lou's father's expression was a little off.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Yi Chuanzong stood at the door with some doubts. He turned to look at his daughter-in-law. Lou Xiaoe lowered her head and held a small package in her hand with some guilt. It didn't look big, just the size of two dictionaries.

And Lou Xiaoe's posture is very relaxed, and it doesn't look like there are small yellow croakers and big yellow croakers inside. Why does she feel that the old man is so distressed?

If it's a big Chinese New Year, can't you be a gamer?Is it too embarrassing?
Father Lou forced a smile and waved his hands, "It's okay, next time we father and I don't drink tea, it's good to drink some wine, especially the wine you gave me years ago, I drank it once, it was really comfortable .”

Yi Chuanzong laughed when he heard the words. Wild ginseng is paired with wine infused with other Chinese herbal medicines, which is designated to have strong medicinal effects.

"Dad, that's for you. I don't usually use that thing now."

It’s just the difference between 10 minutes and [-] or [-] minutes. Anyway, the most exciting thing is the last shiver, so it won’t spoil such a good thing as wild ginseng. How about saving it for my wife to raise a baby?

It is enough for him to drink some wolfberry and ordinary ginseng tonic, anyway, he is still young.

Lou's father nodded heavily, and Lou's mother also looked at Lou Xiao'e with a face of reproach.

Yi Chuanzong saw that the reaction of the two was a little unclear, so he could only say hello again and leave with his wife.

After the two left, Lou's father slumped and couldn't help but staggered. Lou's mother quickly reached out to support her, and said angrily and funnyly: "Let you show off, it's okay this time, let my daughter take a fancy to it! With half the return, you don't have to be so hungry all day long."

Lou's father stabilized his body, stretched out his hand to his waist with a heartbroken look on his face, "Those are all treasures in my collection! I kept two boxes when Xiao'e was this big. I just drank them carefully every year for fear of damage. One pot, she poured it, and I snatched it all at once!"

Lou's mother suppressed a smile: "Okay, isn't it just some tea? You still feel pain when you drink it for your son-in-law?"

Lou's father straightened up abruptly, and said with an accusing face: "It's because that brat drinks me that I feel sorry for him. He can drink a fart! He even wants to use a big bowl to make tea! When I think about it, my heart is in my heart." Blood!"

Lou's mother couldn't help laughing, "When we were in the house, why didn't you say that he didn't understand tea?"

"Your son-in-law agrees with you to make you happy, holds you up and almost makes you float, but in the end it seems that you have a good drink, and your daughter saw it, who do you blame?"

Lou's father looked annoyed, then his eyes lit up, he turned around and ran into the house, "No! I want to change places! I will never allow this kid to spoil my tea again, you taught me a good daughter!"

Lou's mother rolled her eyes, but she taught me any mistakes.

So she followed up in two or three steps, and then replied flatly, "Don't hide, my daughter has been playing at home since she was a child, and she knows where there are potholes better than you."

Lou's father stood still with a sad expression on his face, he looked like a child who was robbed of his favorite toy.

Lou's mother saw it funny, so she could only comfort her: "Okay, next time I won't let her take it casually, I will let her pick up those young ones, and I won't touch your treasures anymore."

Father Lou was still a little sad, pointing to the ground and said heartbrokenly: "You should stop her today!"

Lou's mother turned her head, "Your son-in-law is watching here, how do you ask me to stop him, he brought you such a good thing, what's the matter with some tea?"

"what happened?"

"Hey……"

……

Back home, Yi Chuanzong looked at the bottles and cans on the table in a daze. There were many cartons inside, and the paper on the outside was worn out, revealing the silver-white, silver-plated paper inside?Is that yellow one gold plated?

Those bottles and jars don't look like simple things. Although he can't appreciate them, these bottles and jars look better than those antiques that he saw in Juchangyuan at the temple fair yesterday, and they should be worth a lot. .

Yesterday, the old house sparrow in Juchangyuan tried to trick him again, selling him five hundred for a teapot. This time he didn't make a sound, because his wife knew this.

Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, the old man has collected a lot of antiques and gold, and under the influence of whispering and seeing, this daughter-in-law is worthy of the name of eldest lady.

Lou Xiao'e helped him negotiate the price, and after successfully bargaining to twenty, the couple didn't buy it.

Reason for not buying: This item is too cheap. Lou Xiao’e’s original words are that any one from the corner of the house is better than this one.

At that time, the old house sparrow was so angry that it almost rose to the sky.

"Daughter-in-law, this is full of tea leaves? This seems to be our father's treasure, right?"

Yi Chuanzong was a little unsure. He had heard his father-in-law talk about the Grade A Yunnan Pu'er, West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, and other rock teas.

The prouder Lou's father was, the more precious these were. He took a bunch of them back like seasoning, and it would be difficult to enter the door in the future. He seemed to understand Lou's father's expression at that time.

Lou Xiaoe snickered and said, "That's right, I think you don't understand these things when you drink tea with Dad, I'm going to bring them back to have a drink with you, and I'll tell you about them by the way, so that you won't be confused when you drink tea with others in the future." So restrictive."

Yi Chuanzong's eyes lit up, good wife, are you trying to help him improve his taste and style?It seems to be so interesting. If you teach him this way, he is still willing to improve.

"Although I feel that drinking tea is to have fun by myself, but it feels good to drink tea with you. Let's experience life in tea together?"

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and smiled, then opened her mouth and said angrily: "You will make me happy, don't think I don't know, you are the most annoying me to talk to you, you don't want to study at all, maybe you are thinking about it now What a bad thing, still life."

Thinking of Yi Chuanzong's fallacies, she couldn't help but spit.

Life is just a 'new person', and it's a lifetime, no matter what you think or do, it's bullshit, just be happy.There will still be human beings a few hundred thousand years later, so his contribution will be indispensable.

Yi Chuanzong's eyes became brighter, "Daughter-in-law, I find that you understand me more and more. There are some twists and turns in the road of life, and we have to get through it together."

"Ah! You let me go! I don't want to sleep right now."

"No, you want to!"

……

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yi Chuanzong had no relatives to leave. On his father's side, he was the uncle himself, and his mother hadn't contacted him for 20 years.

For 20 years, the uncle didn't know what happened to Yi Chuanzong's mother's relatives.

When he was bored, Yi Chuanzong could only sit at the door and set off cannons. While watching the dog, he could also take a look at the children.

Bang Geng is a very good intelligence agent, and he now knows that Qin Huairu took Bang Geng and Xiao Dang back to her natal home in a hurry yesterday, and she won't have to go to work in the Temporary Academy after the next year.

This is good news, even he is a little uncomfortable sitting outside at minus ten degrees for a day, let alone having to reach out to work in the cold water.

After all, it's his woman, it seems useless for him to suffer that kind of crime, it's only a few tens of dollars of work, and it hurts to look at those little hands like little toads.

In addition, Jia Zhang's family status has been lowered a lot.

Xiao Banggeng somewhat disagrees with his grandma, and Xiao Dang also has a little sympathy for Jia Zhang.

He felt that this kind of phenomenon was not strange, and children also know how to read things. (Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu brothers are too low in understanding.) Jia Zhang didn't like the look in his eyes when he looked at the money-losing goods.

"Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

There were two consecutive sounds of dog barking, egg yolk and Bai Yang bouncing around him, turning their heads and barking in the direction of the courtyard from time to time.

Yi Chuanzong's eyes lit up when he saw this, is his wife back?
I was away for a week, and I said I would come back in the afternoon of the third and fourth day of junior high school, but today's time is just right.

He stood up slowly and walked towards the courtyard with square steps.

"Bang, Xiao Dang, you can play here. I'm going to walk the dog. It's fine if you don't play here. There is no wages today, and the firecrackers will send you off."

"Uncle Chuanzong, there are too many, and there are six boxes!" Bang Geng shouted, a box of firecrackers cost ten cents, six boxes of firecrackers cost six cents, they were forty cents that day, and twenty cents more today.

Yi Chuanzong waved his hands behind him, "The novelty is gone, and the rest is for you to play with."

Now the daughter-in-law is back, and I miss her so much after not seeing her for a week, so why bother with firecrackers?
