My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

"Second brother, you are still busy. Do you want to go home?"

Xu Laoer was startled: "It turns out to be my aunt."

My mother's voice was very similar to that of this aunt. Xu Laoer thought it was his mother who came, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly put away his things.

All the chopsticks on this side of the shop were used to make a small pavilion for the water drop clock. So many of them were scrapped but they were not successful yet.If mother comes during this time, he will be beaten.Fortunately, it was not his mother who came and was not discovered. He still had time to use bamboo chopsticks to make up for it.

"Auntie, what's the matter?"

The aunt was also taken aback by Xu Laoer's reaction, but she didn't forget to tell the businessman: "I saw your uncle coming to pick up your milk, will you go back and take a look?"

The smile on Xu Laoer's face paused immediately, and he took out the discarded chopsticks and continued making a small pavilion as if nothing had happened.

"No need to look, the old lady can go wherever she wants."

When he said this, Xu Laoer already had the answer in his heart, that is, the old lady would follow him back.

Because a son is closer than a grandson.

It used to be that one word from a son was worth a hundred words from their grandchildren.The grandchildren of their second wife, no matter how much they take care of the elderly, are not as good as the eldest grandson of the first wife.

Not to mention, Tian Xin had just "tortured" the old lady, and the old lady was unprepared and wanted to leave a long time ago.

……

The Xu family in the village.

"I'm not going back."

Boss Xu looked at the old lady and frowned and said, "Are you thinking that the second brother's life is getting better now, so you don't plan to go home with me? Mother, mother, my mother doesn't mind the family being poor. I didn't expect you to be like this."

Boss Xu looked sad, with wrinkles on his face.

I never expected to be a snobbish parent.

Boss Xu felt like he just went out for a trip, and when he came back, everyone around him had changed.

First, the villagers looked at him with subtle eyes.

From the moment he entered the village, he was greeted by saying that he had a promising grand-niece who knew some general and even rode a horse with the general, so he was very valued by the general.

As an elder, he casually said: "How decent is a little girl? How can she be so promising if she hugs people at such a young age? It's more like embarrassing her!"

Then the eyes of the people in the village changed when they looked at him: "...female general."

How did he know it was a woman?I went out to inquire around and found out that in any house with a bit of ability, the women would stay close to the front door and never step out of the door. That's why the farmers in our village don't pay attention to that.

Not to mention, how many women can become generals?Others dared to do it, but he didn't dare to imagine it.

So, he just misunderstood, as for everyone looking at him that way?

Then, before walking into the house, the village leader came looking for him.

He thought that Li was coming to inquire after hearing that his son had a good marriage. Unexpectedly, he came to ask him when he would go to Erdaohe. Li Zheng said that he wanted to walk around with him and visit the old lady. .

But after he agreed to Li Zheng, Li Zheng didn't know what he heard from a villager with a bad mouth, and he said that they should forget about going to Erdao River together.He also patted him on the shoulder and said something like this: "You, you, how should I say good things to you? You really sacrificed yourself to worship the mountain god."

Boss Xu asked and found out that the newly appointed Zhenting treated his younger brother and sister Hao Xianghua like his own mother.

As for Li Zheng, it was a lie that he wanted to go visit his mother with him, but it was true that he wanted to have friendship with his younger siblings.

It's all snobbish stuff.

As for when his mother left and how she went to Erdaohe, Mr. Xu had heard about it since he entered the village, and it was false as soon as he heard it.

When his mother left home, she was stunned and said that she was not allowed to live on the other side of Erdaohe.Before leaving, I still want to save face. In fact, it would be nice if I don’t get kicked back by that side.

He thought he would be picked up easily, but he never thought that the old lady would never go back.

At this time, the old lady looked at her eldest son and thought: Just think whatever you want.

Because you are my biological son, I did not argue with you in detail about right and wrong in front of so many workers. This is called leaving you alone.

"I feel very comfortable here. My second daughter-in-law, great-granddaughter, several grandchildren, not to mention Qin Niang's granddaughter-in-law, all treat me well. You can go back without worries."

The old lady had never been so honest.

In the past, she had a problem, that is, even if it was very good, she would just make do with it.I was a little unhappy, so I beat my heart and sighed as if the sky was falling.

But since coming here, the second daughter-in-law is not used to her problems.She said that listening to her talk made her unhappy and she had to change it. It was even more unacceptable to beat her heart when encountering some difficulties. It was bad luck. She really got rid of this problem.

The old lady felt that she was telling the truth.

Although her great-granddaughter "tortured" her every night, it was said that she could administer the medicine herself without being watched.But the great-granddaughter insists on staring at her. It can be seen that she has never disliked her for being old, smelly, and dirty. She still yells and howls every time and is not bothered. She just comes in with water every day and night, for no reason. How is she?I heard that the medicine was very expensive, but she used it very well.

Things like eating here have never been different.

She saw her second daughter-in-law drinking a kind of tea every day these days, Qin Niang's grandson-in-law also drinking milk and fish bubbles, and her great-granddaughter drinking more. She watched eagerly, but now she also drank tonic.It's just that taste, it's just unpleasant.

Even wiping the face is the same.All the women in this family are cleaning themselves up.

That day, my daughter-in-law gave her some face oil and told her that as long as she could keep her mouth shut, stop saying what she was doing, spend money on food and drink, stop caring about how the family lived, and stop going out to care about the family. If you tell outsiders, you will have what others have.

So as she got older and faced old age, she applied oil again.

The past cannot be recalled. Which woman doesn’t love beauty?The last time I had the time to apply makeup on my face was when I was a maid, 40 years ago.

What touched the old lady the most about the second daughter-in-law was not the oil on her face and food and drink, but the bath she gave her the day before yesterday.

At that time, she was lying in front of a group of people, and the second daughter-in-law rubbed her carefully and gave her a massage, saying that this massage was called great health care.

Although she is just showing it to everyone, she is also happy.

Because a bunch of old women were soaking in the pool together, joking and teasing Tian Xin and the other girls, saying: You girls have Xiangfeng Petals and Egg Drop Soup, and your grandmas have massages and pedicures.

Therefore, she misses these days.

She is also at this age, and her life is getting shorter every day. Who cares about what her eldest son or this or that person thinks of her?Wherever you can live your life, stay there.

The old lady pulled her eldest son away and said, "Hurry up and don't interfere with my work."

"What kind of work do you do? You've only been here a few days and they dare to ask you to do work? In my house, you don't have to do anything."

"Shut up your trap! I can't eat anything at your house. I haven't talked to you in detail yet, so don't get in trouble, boss, huh? There are so many people here, so do I. I'm too lazy to cause trouble to my second daughter-in-law and grandchildren, so as not to make people look at the fun, don't make me angry."

This time the old lady was really annoyed and said again:
"No one asks me to work, so I'm willing to help and take care of it. It's not like at your house. I want to cook. Does your wife dare to give me a spoon? Just give me the four acres of land in my name next year. If there is food, they can just plant it. Wherever I stay, the rations should be taken, and you don’t have to worry about the rest. Don’t come to see me, I’m busy with this.”

"land?"

"Yes. Also, bring Zhao Di back to your family. Your family members are all back. Don't pretend you don't know that your siblings and nephews are helping you raise your child."

Somehow, these words seemed to poke the lungs of the eldest son of the Xu family: "Okay, mother, please tell your younger siblings that I will never visit her house again. She is awesome. I can't look up to her and look down on her." I am a poor relative, but I still have some ambition. And don’t regret it, don’t turn around and be kicked back home crying!"

After shouting, Uncle Xu slammed the door and walked out of the yard. Many women who came to help were startled, and some women who responded quickly were angry. It didn't matter whether the old lady would not react when she heard what he said. Happy, he raised his voice and said:
"Whose door is slamming? Your family is shameless. We are here. If we are not here, we have to let you fool us. The conveners are not at home, and they are too busy with business, let alone look down on you. In this case, what are you trying to bite randomly?"

Later, Mrs. Xu heard about it.That night, the old lady was obviously trying to please and be cautious. The old lady Xu was stared at several times when she picked up vegetables, so she had to take the initiative to say: "Do you want me to be a meal? Eat quickly, and then continue to sew clothes after eating." You still need to apply medicine after the stitches are done.”

"The sewing is almost finished. The third and fourth children didn't waste time getting dressed when they went out, didn't they?"

"After sewing the clothes, you still have to make shoes. Don't think you have no life left."

"Selling money? Okay."

"When the third and fourth children come back, you will continue to sew the bathhouse handkerchiefs and quilts."

Old lady: "..."

To borrow a phrase my second grandson often murmurs, she can't finish it, she can't finish it at all. She wants to eat sweetened fruit, but if she doesn't give it to her, it means she can't finish it quickly.

After this incident, the most unlucky person was Dafang's youngest daughter, Zhaodi.

Zhaodi didn't want to go home, and her father insisted on bringing her back, so she moved every step of the way.

And her mother hadn't seen her for several days. Not only was she not close to her at all, she also scolded her about why she came back and why she didn't just continue to eat and drink at her second aunt's place, and learn some crafts by the way, so that her family could do business.

Zhao Di thought she was telling the truth: "If you can't learn it, even if you learn it, our family won't be able to do business. I think our family may never be as good as the second aunt's family in this life. There is a person in the second aunt's family who knows several noble people." Tian Xin, who among us, including the eldest brother, has this ability? And my mother is not as good as my second aunt. I heard that my second aunt brought a group of men to Fucheng to purchase goods. This is all, mother, you can’t do it. You go to the county seat and turn around."

These words are actually the exact words often spoken by the villagers of Erdaohe.

Regardless of what the Xu family did, it was because the Xu family had the right time, place, and people.You have to be both capable and able to sell. The most important thing is that you can’t just watch people eating meat, but also how much money they invested in the early stage.We don’t even have capital, and we don’t have anything we want, so why should we covet the Xu family’s property?People eat meat, so it would be nice if we could drink soup and help earn money.

Zhaodi never expected that her honest truth would result in a severe beating from her mother.

Even her father called her a white-eyed wolf and told her to get out.

The next day, her mother heard outside that her second aunt's family had bought three cars, so she came back to find trouble and beat her up again.

Zhaodi's hands were red marks from being beaten with a fire stick. She wiped away her tears while recalling the days when she was making soap in Erdaohe. The days when she was tired from work were the days when she smiled the most.

She didn't know if any girl had ever envied the children of her relatives, or if she had ever dreamed of becoming a child to her relatives. Anyway, she really wanted to have her second aunt as her mother at the moment.

Zhao Di also heard her mother talking to her father in the house as if nothing was wrong after beating her: "...The third and fourth sons drove out with the new ox cart. They said they had three carts full of goods. This time Come on, I don’t know how much silver the second bedroom earns.”

-

Make a lot of money.

county seat.

Xu Laosan was unloading the goods in front of the restaurant: "Shopkeeper, Erdaohe's two hundred catties of jade ring noodles have arrived!"

Shopkeeper Wu of the county restaurant quickly paid the Xu brothers 20 taels.

On this trip, the Xu family did not stop at Liu Laoda's home in the county town because the road in front of the village was opened, which would save almost a day and a half from the village to the county.

Therefore, they arrived at the county town in the morning and did not dare to delay after delivering the goods. They planned to buy some steamed cakes immediately and hit the road.

"Auntie, do you still know us brothers?"

"Those guys were so stinky back then that they were able to turn people off? Oh, I don't even dare to recognize them. They are still wrapped in pigskin jackets, and they look like respectable people."

Xu Laosan and Xu Laosi were a little embarrassed. They had to borrow their niece's clothes to wear their fur coats. Moreover, they and their group were all wearing thick clothes this time:

"That's right, it's just us. Auntie, I came here specially to buy pancakes from you. Our brothers mentioned it to my mother when we got home about the hot water you gave us. My mother said that we must be right when we go out this time. Please say a few words."

"Which two sentences?"

"She said thank you for last time. Also: give these steamed cakes to our brothers to wrap up. From now on, we will often run this line. Whenever we go out in Erdaohe Village, we will buy them all from you."

"okay!"

While on the way, Xu Laosan pointed to the small houses rising from the ground and said to Xu Youyin: "These new big car shops, I heard from my mother, were built by our Tian Xin and General Jialai. Presumably these big car shops They were all built by surrounding villages.”

The boys from the village who went out last time testified: "That's right, there weren't any of these shops last time. This time, I don't have to worry about not finding a big car shop to stop after a day trip."

Xu Laosan pointed to the road sign with an arrow drawn on the side of the road, and proudly introduced Qin Niang's brother: "This is also what my family Tian Xin and General Jialai mentioned."

Dali said: "It's like a dream. They really listened to Tian Xin. I felt a little excited."

At least, those of them who know the inside story will feel much more complicated every time they see street signs and new big car shops than when others see them.

What Xu Laosan and the others didn't know was that at the same time, on the roadside of Erdaohe Village, a group of government officials from the town were also building houses and pavilions for garrison duty.Soon, the Zhenbei Army will be stationed at several large caravan resting places along the way.Shopkeepers don’t dare to make illegal money, and caravans don’t dare to eat without paying.

Erdaohe Village was so courageous that they actually put up billboards along the road. The signs were very clear. There are still many miles ahead. Erdaohe Restaurant welcomes you.The picture shows the villain eating.

When the patrolling Zhenbei Army saw those billboards rising from the ground, they were very curious as to when Erdaohe Village had done this secretly.

At this time, at the door of Boss Liu's inn, Laosan Xu quickly checked out like he was at a county restaurant, planning to leave as soon as possible.Once he had a place to live along the way, he was not afraid of rushing.

"Uncle, these are some radish and pickles that the villagers gave you. Since our village has been able to fish, there has been a lot more fish salt, so every family has pickled a lot this year. Everyone heard that you took special care of the last purchase, and you have to let me Here I bring it to you. There is also half a cart of cabbage in this cart, which was also collected by everyone. I will carry it in for you."

Boss Liu had a smile on his face and just said okay, okay.

Xu Laosi gave his gift to the past again: "This is the meat sauce that my mother made when she got home. It doesn't have much, just a jar. My mother said that when the uncle is done eating, he will send a message home. Next time we will go home. Someone will bring it to you again."

Xu Lao Si Wan did not expect that when they came back from Fucheng, Liu Lao did not want meat sauce to eat, but bought meat sauce.

Isn't that right? Even if I didn't taste the meat sauce at this moment, I just saw the sausages and instant noodles brought to Fucheng Inn and stopped ordering them. "You guys are eating so deliciously, I can smell it. It's so good to cut it into a plate and sell it, but you can eat it all in vain."

"Let's do it next time, uncle. I'm telling the truth from my own family. There really isn't much this time, and there's not much meat in the intestines."

Boss Liu settled the bill with Qiansong and paid 120 taels.

Xu's delivery team is on the road again.

Fucheng Inn: "Innkeeper, do you still recognize us?"

"Oh, I've been waiting for you to come. The goods are here."

"Don't worry, I'm going to teach you how to cook this frozen hard sausage first, and then we'll discuss the price. It's okay, if you think it's expensive, we'll sell it to a restaurant, and the cooked one counts as our brother. a few."

Fucheng Inn, when I stayed at Xu Laosan that night, I bought instant noodles and all the sausages. The instant noodles were purchased for 15 taels, and the homemade sausages were sold for 20 taels.

Fucheng Restaurant, three hundred kilograms of jade ring noodles are in place, another thirty taels.

Dali asked the Xu brothers: "Every time I collect money, my heart skips a beat. I can't sleep well these days. I'm always afraid that someone will steal the money. What should I sell next?"

Xu Laosan took out the piece of paper that he couldn't afford to buy the book at first. He looked at the plaque of the book store and said with emotion: "My mother said that it's time to spend money next."

Buy books, clothes, wine, cloth and cotton for the bathhouse, and order a still.

When buying oil, the oil shop in the county sells it the cheapest.

He also had to go to the cave where he lived with General Zhenbei and pull up the horse manure piled at the foot of the mountain.

When we get to the county, we'll grab Liu Laozhu's parents and we'll go back to the village.
