Xu Youcang was squatting in the snow, cleaning the fur vest he was wearing outside with snow.

Under the boar-skin fur waistcoat, Xu Youcang should have had a black Huoli Mianmian cotton-padded coat.At this time, the living mask coat was covering the ten-year-old boy.I also gave the copper coins I earned from taking a bath to the other party.

After cleaning up the leather vest, Xu Youcang stood up and got into the car.

The three boys followed closely.

Xu Youcang didn't look at them, he just said, "Let's go," and drove away, giving away all he could.

However, three skinny boys wearing straw sandals tied with jade straw kept running behind the car.

The younger one, wrapped in new clothes, still staggered a few steps until he was stopped by a government official from Xishan Town with a knife. The three boys still stubbornly looked at the car shadow across the sword and shouted: "Uncle, uncle..."

In the hearts of the three boys, Xu Youcang is a rare light in life.

When they were imprisoned, not only did they not send them to prison to do corvee labor, but they also helped them.

I gave the eldest sister money for medicine to save my niece, and took them to take a warm bath in this cold winter. They had never been so warm and clean. I bought pancakes and gave the younger brother a coat.

Now that the light they had only seen was gone, they were reluctant to part with it.

"Second brother, the benefactor has just left, but we don't know where he is from. When I grow up in the future, if I make money, I don't know where to pay it back."

The 16-year-old boy's name is Dapeng. He first looked at his younger brother and then looked into the distance and said:

"How could you not know? Besides, we have grown up, why wait until later?
A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. The uncle is like a reborn parent. According to the ethics of the world, we should change our name to dad.

And if we don’t have money, we should use our strength to pay it back.I have received money from the uncle, now I have to repay the favor, let's go! "

The three boys immediately had a direction.

The backyard of Xishan Town restaurant.

The waiter interrupted first and said, "Who do you call uncle? He is not two years older than you. He is just more capable than you and has been through more things."

Then it was revealed:

"That is Mr. Xu from Erdaohe Village in Linzhen.

Not only does he have cooperation with our restaurant, but he also has a close relationship with the owner of the porcelain kiln.

So what do you guys do to help?The Xu family said hello. There are many people rushing to work, but you little ones can't afford it.Don't think that taking you guys to take a bath is like nothing.

Come on, for the sake of Mr. Xu, the big one, yes, let’s talk about you. The bathhouse thinks you have no strength and doesn’t want you, so you can come to the backyard of the restaurant to do odd jobs tomorrow.

To use your uncle's words, bah, it's the elder brother's words. It's serious to earn a few copper coins to survive this winter. "

The waiter curled his lips and muttered something disgusting, saying that he was already 16 years old, but he looked like Twelve Thirteen. No one wanted to do odd jobs, it was just for Xu Youcang's face.

Dapeng said nothing on the surface, but while Xu Youcang was rushing home, he was busy until late at night for two consecutive days.

The three brothers secretly left the city and hid in a cave, busy collecting firewood.

The ten-year-old boy also knew how to take off the good clothes Xu Youcang gave him and leave them for his niece.He couldn't bear to wear it.

My niece is only one year old. This big dress can be wrapped in several layers to keep warm.

Then after returning home, he gave twenty steamed cakes to his eldest sister and niece, leaving ten of them.

On weekdays, the eldest sister of three boys earns copper coins by starching and washing clothes for others, and does not earn much.

Because on the one hand, Xishan Town is not prosperous, and there are not so many merchants and shops here who need people to do laundry.Second, because she couldn't afford soap and couldn't wash her clothes well, she couldn't work alone. She had to tie her daughter up with a hemp rope and go to a big car shop to earn money to help with washing clothes.Everything is paid for by the store, and the women just have to contribute.

The three boys announced to the eldest sister:

"We are going to find the noble man, and we cannot take his money for free.

Sister, please feel free to give Niuniu some medicine.

We will eat less and exert more energy, and we will work for our benefactor for a few months and then go back. "

The woman carried her crying daughter on her back and said to her three brothers: "We must come back alive."

"I know!"

Three and a half young men carried a pile of cabbage gangs and ten steamed cakes on their backs. They had a big heart and used their feet as horses. There was no road to guide them but they dared to cross the mountains and ridges and set off towards the place where they wanted to go.

-

It was ten o'clock in the evening when Xu Youcang got home, so he was hungry.

This scares his mother.

Mrs. Xu's eyes widened in surprise, and she found that San'er's clothes had been stripped off:

"Did you encounter a robber on the road?"

Then, without waiting for an answer, she pushed the third child away. Mrs. Xu hurriedly opened the door and ran outside to see if the cow was still there, and then rummaged around to see if anything on the bullock cart was missing.

The three Xu brothers all turned their heads and looked out the door: "..."

Did you see that the three of them are not as important as Lao Niu in my mother's eyes?

In fact, how is it possible? This is not a person standing there properly. Only then did Mrs. Xu look anxiously at the cow.A good person is afraid of losing money.

"Third brother, what's the matter?"

Xu Youcang replied briefly: "When I meet a little brother who is even worse off than our three brothers were before, I would like to lend my hand a small favor."

Seeing Mrs. Xu come back, Xu Youcang, who is very tolerant of hardships, took the initiative and said for the first time: "Mom, I want to eat white rice, white noodles, white steamed buns, and boiled water."

He was so hungry that he felt like he could eat a cow.

Mrs. Xu quickly asked the second child to make instant noodles for the third child. Nothing could be eaten as quickly as that.

"Mom, that one still needs to be sold for money."

Xu Youcang struggled mentally. Fried noodles were expensive, and it would be a waste if he ate as much as he wanted.

"What's it for? Where am I going to make white steamed buns for you? The customers are eating white rice. Don't make trouble for me. I just took a break. Who has time to cook for you now? Hurry up and have food in your belly to keep warm. ."

So the drinking guests who had not left the party smelled the aroma of instant noodles and quickly asked Xu Laosi what it was called.

Liu Laozhu also followed the scent and found it.

As soon as they met, Liu Laozhu sighed from the bottom of his heart: "If your mother didn't work hard to make money, she wouldn't be able to support your three brothers. Oh my god, use the washbasin to make noodles. Can you finish the meal? Give it to me." bowl."

None of the donkeys in the town government dared to eat so much.

"Uncle Li Zheng, has my second brother returned the porcelain jar to the village?" Xu Youcang quickly served Liu Laozhu a bowl of noodles.

"It's sent back. It's not from your second brother. It's from my Jingdong. Don't worry. The village should be busy filling the medicine at the moment. By the way, I think the bottle is still the original one with the painting. How come you can pick it up when you arrive in Xishan Town? Walk?"

It’s private customization, so no need to do it?
Xu Youcang smiled when he heard this:
"This means that my family doesn't take the medicine seriously, but the owner of the porcelain kiln does. Last time I went back, the fourth child gave him a few pills for nothing. This time when I met him, he said, "It's such an easy medicine, he will take it." He guessed that as long as there were customers, he would be able to sell them. So after using the medicine, he told the old masters to continue making porcelain jars and prepare them. He also said that if I didn't pick them up in the next two days, he would send someone to deliver them. , he guessed that we would restock.”

It was also this time that Xu Youcang realized the value of "chrysanthemum nectar" when he went out.

The owner of the porcelain kiln said: Your family's fortune is due to wealth, but it is not limited to wealth.Look, if this medicine can be given to the right person, and if it is destined to be delivered to the hands of a noble person in need, it will be fine.He also said that no matter how precious a person he was, he still had to eat whole grains and could not do without urgently needed medicine.This is why capable imperial doctors and doctors have been popular in all dynasties.As long as it is easy to use, it is worth a lot of money.

Liu Laozhu was very sad after hearing this: "Why do I feel like the money is chasing that girl Tian Xin into her pocket. She can make money by just buying a few books and flipping through them."

It must have been luck that couldn't be stopped, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

Because his family, Liu Jingdong, had read a hundred books and it was difficult to even pronounce his name.

A few days ago, he called Wang Daye by mistake. This morning he went home to the academy for a complete winter break to help his mother settle the accounts. He read one of the names and said he was playing with me. After staying up all night, he was so angry that he was no longer sleepy.Playing with your bird, and even grabbing your chicken, that damn girl is called Wang Yuan Goose.A famous moth among village women, you Aunt Goose.

Liu Laozhu became so upset when he thought of his two sons who had turned against each other that he couldn't even eat instant noodles.

He persuaded himself to ask Tian Xin for his fortune magic weapon in private.

That girl Tian Xin told him without any secrets.

Tian Xin said that wearing red long johns indicates unusual luck, so he is wearing them.

"Uncle Li Zheng, I have a customer who wants to buy a lot of honey. Come quickly."

Liu Laozhu held two instant noodles in his mouth: "..." Well, look at how powerful this magic weapon is.Just as I was thinking about it, here comes the deal.

Then if he wears red long johns every day from now on, he will never be able to succeed?

Liu Laozhu hurriedly poured the soup and noodles into his mouth and wiped his mouth with his hand.

Then he deliberately pulled up his red long johns, put a short cotton-padded jacket into the long johns, and pretended to go to the latrine without pulling up the clothes to reveal a red hem.

Even Liu Laozhu's belt is made of red string.This means that if a man wants to be handsome, he should tuck his trousers into his waistband.He was afraid that the business would go bad and he had to stay calm.

After a busy meal, he ran off to sell goods with his legs tight.

The troubled little son who was talked about by Liu Laozhu before is now experiencing trouble.

The bottles and cans are in place, and Xu Tianxin's girls will work overtime tonight to load them.

Xu Tianxin passed by the door of Widow Zhang's house and wanted to call Chuni, Widow Zhang's eldest daughter, who was working, and ask her to go with her.

I don’t know if it was too late or something, but I happened to see Grandma Hao Yinhua’s man next door, Yu Jiagu, being beaten with a broom by Widow Zhang.

And I heard Widow Zhang yelling:
"Let's bring this down. If you dare to climb over the wall and sneak into my house again, I will sacrifice my face and kneel down to apologize to your wife. If you don't raise your head in the future, I will go to your wife and tell her to let her go. Your legs were broken when you were running around. Anyway, my eldest daughter can make money. Even if I am thrown into the trap, I can rest assured that these kids have nothing to do and can’t close their eyes to save the lives of humans and ghosts. What’s the use of me? Are you reluctant to die? See if I dare to keep my word!"

Yu Jiagang was scared away.

When Xu Tianxin ran out of the yard, he was dragged behind the wall by Liu Jingdong.

Xu Tianxin looked at Liu Jingdong in surprise and asked with his eyes, why did you follow me?
Liu Jingdong was not very good at school, but he knew his family very well.

He thought that he was Xu Tianxin's uncle according to his seniority.

Late at night, Xu Tianxin went to the west of the village to recruit people for work. The location was very remote.A little girl should not be afraid when walking at night?He followed.

I don't want to hear such fancy things.

However, the matter was not over yet, Yu Jiagang ran away without closing the door.

Xu Tianxin and Liu Jingdong clearly heard outside that Widow Zhang, her three daughters and her young son were holding each other's arms and crying.

Chuni’s cry was the loudest:
"Mom, I thought you were a crooked person.

I hated you before, but I couldn't hold it back, and I looked down on you again and again in my heart.I swear I will never be you.

I even hated you for giving birth to me, but I didn’t expect that you took the initiative to beat him away.

Even I used to think that you were partial, and you often beat and scolded us for doing work, and you were only good to your younger brother.They haven’t beaten us recently.

Mom, am I thinking about something?Then I have hated you for so long, what exactly do I hate? "

Widow Zhang's husband's surname is Zhang, and she is the "Shi Zhenxiang", actually named Zhenxiang.People in the village liked to give people nicknames and forgot her original name.

Widow Zhang cried while holding her daughters, not knowing where to start explaining.As a mother, I feel ashamed to explain.

The first meeting between her and Yu Jiagang was semi-forced, as her family lived in a very remote location.

The harvests in recent years have not been good, and the harvest of the year before last was even worse.

When Yu Jiagang said that he would give her twenty coppers each time, what she was thinking about was that her four children couldn't even get half-full food. What should she do if it would take more than half a year to have wild vegetables to eat from the whole winter to the spring of next year? The hand holding the trousers loosened.

As for beating her daughters, she dragged them all around and couldn't do any work at home.

Even a grown man can't stand farm work, let alone a girl who has little strength. There is no child who is not lazy. She has no choice but to urge others to do the work.My family is poor. If I don't work hard, what will I do in the future?

Of course, spanking the child is also a reason for her to vent her emotions.

Ever since the man gave up and left the pile to die, she looked at the four and a half-year-old children and then looked at the grain bags, and her heart had never had a bright moment.

The children will only ask, Mom, what should I do for the next meal? How does she know? She always feels that she will not be able to bear it at the next moment.

At this time, Widow Zhang hugged her eldest daughter and cried bitterly: "Chunni, mother beat you too hard before, mother can't forgive you."

Because this daughter hates her and looks down on her, she knows it.

In the past, she didn't know how to express her grievances, so she would beat her children.I want to use this behavior to educate my daughter: Anyone can look down on your mother, but you are not qualified.

He hugged his other two daughters and cried, "I was too poor. It was too poor and difficult at that time. Fortunately, it has passed..."

No one in the village is more grateful than Widow Zhang and her family to Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin.

It was Mrs. Xu who gave Widow Zhang another chance to live.

Widow Zhang felt that her family was about to be reborn.There was no way for a woman like her to find any work in the village where she could not make money. It was Mrs. Xu who told her that as long as you are willing to work, you will have food.

When she had food to eat, she followed Mrs. Xu without unbuttoning her pants.

Seeing Yu Jiagang's front teeth makes her feel sick from the inside out. Do you know how disgusted she feels every time after that?
To put it another way, if she really wanted to find a man one day, she would also want to find someone who was pleasing to her eyes.What's more, she has decided to give up on men.Who wants them if they have food to eat and live a good life?

Now she just wants to raise her three daughters and youngest son to make their lives better.

It was also Xu Tianxin who gave her eldest daughter Chunni a different starting point in life, which was different from ordinary girls in the village.That's called being able to make money and have skills. As long as you follow Xu Tianxin sincerely, even if you marry in another village in the future, you can still return to Tian Xin to earn money every day.When I go back to my in-laws' house to eat ready-made meals, my in-laws don't dare to say a word.Because that is the most legitimate reason to be busy making money.

Widow Zhang has been feeling extremely happy lately.

After hugging and crying with the children today, my heart became even brighter.From now on, at least she and her eldest daughter will strive to be the right-hand men of Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin, and be the ones who work the hardest.And whoever dares to ruin the Xu family's affairs is tantamount to jeopardizing their family's livelihood, and no one will be allowed to do so.

She still has dreams.

She dared to imagine that in the future, each of her three daughters would have to learn how to make money, get married one by one, bring new cotton-padded clothes and quilts with them, and go out with their money and dignity.In this way, even if a man is as unlucky as she is after marrying, he will not be afraid if he dies. He has money and skills.

I also want to build a big house for my younger son.She was older and had a younger son. If she didn't live to see her younger son Sun Mantang, she would be able to live in a big house with peace of mind.

Widow Zhang hugged the children and said, "I'll learn as much as I can in the future..."

Xu Tianxin and Liu Jingdong walked back in silence outside the door.

Liu Jingdong suddenly said: "Let's pretend we didn't hear it. If we talk about this at home, my mother will not be able to hold it in. She will tell someone she trusts, I will only tell you, and then the next day It will spread throughout the village." (End of Chapter)
