My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Today, only two cars came from the Xu family, and one was lent to the village.

Today is the fourth year since the Lunar New Year, and the village has begun collective fishing again.

The two cars that arrived had already had their carriages removed when they arrived.

The plan was to use an ox-drawn sledge to dump the logs and drag the trees home.

The so-called ox-pulled sledge dumping of wood means that the firewood is bundled together and placed on the large sledge, and then the oxen directly drags it, using the force of sliding along the way to pull it home.

At this time, including the felled amber wood pillars, the group had transported a total of ten trees of various sizes down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Zhuzhu, a handsome man, was directing: "Five sticks in a bundle, quickly hide the beauty pine tree inside. Also, hide this thick ash willow tree."

Among the ten big trees, four of them are extremely thick. It shows how greedy they are and they have been felled for more than a hundred years. They are so thick that two strong men can hold hands and hug them.

Moreover, freshly cut trees that have not been left to dry may seem to weigh a thousand pounds, but in fact, with the addition of water, they are much heavier than the trunk itself.

When the group reached the foot of the mountain, they could no longer use the landslide to save effort. Xu Youcang, Liu Jingdong, Xu Youliang and Hongzao Dad were shouting slogans and working together to carry the trees to the oxcart.

"Come on, I'll shout and we'll get up." Xu Youliang shouted: "Get up!"

The four strong men worked together and slowly stood upright to lift the wood.

In this way, the ropes were carried one by one, one deep and one shallow, to the roadside of the post, and then tied up in groups of five and placed on the sledge.

Xu Youyin and his two nephews were very tired and were taking turns holding Amber Wood.

The handsome man did not carry the wood, but after instructing everyone on how to hide the precious wood, he ran in front of the two cows and fed the cows without eating. I was reluctant to drink the water I brought and feed the cows.

Half an hour later, there was a scene of oxen pulling a large round bundle of wood on this road.

When encountering a downhill slope, these people would sit on the wood to rest, and this was still the case when there was no protection from the wind and air-conditioning.

If it goes uphill, they come down again and pull the cattle by their own strength.

Sometimes I feel too sorry for my own cow, especially Hongzao’s father.

The Xu family's jujube red cattle are so enviable among men that all the men in the village are reluctant to use them more.

These people would rather tire themselves out than push the wood with manpower behind the ox.

The North Country has beautiful scenery, but the biting north wind is also really howling.

It was obviously not snowing, but the residual snow foam accumulated on the road turned several people's cotton hats white, and also stained their masks and eyebrows with frost. When the wind was the strongest, they could not see the road ahead clearly.

Xu Youliang looked at the red-lettered road signs that the Zhenbei Army had learned from them. The road signs showed that there were villages ahead, which were still far away. This made them hungry. The more tired and cold they became, the hungrier they became.

Xu Youliang took the dry food from Liu Jingdong and shouted, "Do you want to light a fire to warm yourself up?" He was afraid that everyone could not hear clearly. They were all here to help his Xu family, and they were all working hard.

Why are you warming up? There are no barren hills beside the road at this time, and there is nowhere to find a leeward place to warm up. Xiaozhu was the first to answer: "Let's go quickly, don't forget that we also secretly cut down the trees in the General's Mansion."

Thinking about it, my heart is in my throat. The mountain is too dangerous and dangerous. I have to be careful when I pick up anything later.

At present, Uncle Li Zheng will help them find a way to hide it.

But if I was discovered, I was really worried about being captured and used as a labor force. "Hurry home and hide it. Second brother, be sure to use good wood to make a cabinet and hide it in Tian Xin's house. It is only for Tian Xin'er. In the little girl's house No one goes to see it.”

When the news passed, no one found out that they had done it.

And this good wood is so exciting. Whoever uses this kind of wood to make a dowry cabinet is very cool. In another two years, without anyone noticing, it can be used as a dowry for Tian Xin'er. See if his arrangement is smart or not.

These words made Xu Youyin couldn't help but said: "Brother-in-law... I found that you have really changed. Now you can really live a good life with my beautiful sister."

The handsome man was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrong just now.

The Xu family’s mistress actually called him brother-in-law?

When he realized that he heard correctly, the handsome man was extremely happy, and he even said the truth: "Of course, our family doesn't talk about two families, your sister is really good to me now, it's really good, unlike that time... Hehe, she has beaten me twice in the past two months."

A few people hid behind the cow's buttocks and rode on the wood. While they hurriedly ate a few rations of dry food to pad their bellies, they couldn't help laughing when they heard the words. They were beaten regularly, once a month.

"Brother, eat some more. When did your hands bleed? Let me see how your gloves are bleeding." Xu Youyin handed Daddy Hongzao another steamed bun, but Daddy Hongzao refused to eat it. He wiped his mouth and avoided it with a smile. He said, hurry up and pull the cow and we can hurry up. There will be a lot of downhill roads after that, so we can save a lot of energy, otherwise it will be dark and we won't be able to get home.

As for the cut on the hand, it is not harmful to us peasant men.

Hong Zao's father rarely spends time with these strong young men and is full of energy.

He didn't realize that despite the bad weather, he was smiling much more today than before.

And just when this group of people were heading home from dawn to dusk, and were led by Dapeng to take small roads. They didn't want to go through the formal checkpoints and be caught logging, and everyone unanimously agreed that they wanted to evade taxes. Several groups came from the Xu family today. Special guests visit to pay New Year greetings.

A group of four Li Zheng came one after another.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin went back to production and were not at home at all.

Even Yu Qinniang and Man Zhan were busy with a group of women on the other side of the shop.

Liu Laozhu was directing everyone to fish on the river again.

So while carrying Xiao Nannan on her back, the old lady hurriedly called the girl in the next door yard to ask someone to call her daughter-in-law home. She never expected that one day the ladies would chop firewood for her family.

What's going on? Every family has a father and a mother. To be honest, one's own father and mother are Buddhas. If you go out to worship the Buddha, you will not be blindly filial.

"I don't need you, come inside and sit down."

These four inquisitive Li Zheng also worked really hard. They found that the door of Zhenting's house was closed and they could not remove their beards. I plan to take the Zhao Dashan godmother route. No one outside knows that the godmother can even speak better than the biological mother.

Of course, even without Zhao Dashan, these people would still plan to form a group to visit the old lady, carry some gifts, and start walking around saying they were visiting the elders and the Xu family.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me. You’ll get to know me if you come a few more times during the New Year and holidays.

Just as the old lady stopped Li Zheng, who was about to chop firewood, another group of guests came to the door of the courtyard. They were juniors from various families in Xujiazhuang. For example, the eldest grandson of the fifth grandmother came carrying five or ten eggs.

This group of relatives stood at the door and was stunned. what's going on? The one who was chopping firewood seemed to be Sun Lizheng from their natal village who had a young daughter-in-law.

This Sun Li was busy in the village, not even doing any work at home, but taking off his cotton-padded jacket and chopping firewood at Xu's house?

The old lady poured hot water with the child on her back and told the nephews and nephews in her hometown: "Sit down, what are you doing squatting in the corner? Sit on the hot kang." These men were already restrained when they came to the Xu family.

I looked at the four people who looked upright, and then looked at what I was wearing. How could I be on equal footing with others? The clothes were not particularly clean, so I squatted in a corner and drank some hot water to warm myself up and leave quickly.

They said they were not in a hurry, and they knew from a quick guess that there were many distinguished guests in the Xu family during the first month of the year, so how could they have time to deal with people like them. But the parents at home insisted on coming quickly, and the Xu family insisted on asking them to work and then bringing New Year gifts to the door, as if something was going on. For now, it doesn't matter if you bring a few eggs or a pound of pig head meat and kowtow to the old lady, it doesn't matter if it's more or less.

Just when these men were restless and the old lady was wondering why her second daughter-in-law hadn't come home yet, the sound of rolling wheels suddenly came from the door: "Hey."

Before the visitor entered the hospital, the voice came in first: "Emma, ​​aunt, have you been thinking about us for a long time? Don't mention it, we just came from..."

When Zhao Dashan's wife entered the hospital and saw those people, she was startled.

Zhao Dashan's son Wangcai and the coachman each carried a basket of duck eggs into the hospital. Wangcai was also stunned.

There are two carts full of newly harvested duck eggs outside.

The couple took the opportunity to help the Xu family bring over the duck eggs they ordered.

"Madam, is Mr. Zhao here too?" The four people's eyes lit up and they hurried to the door to greet him.

Dashan's daughter-in-law was a little surprised. She looked at her son first. Her son had met these people when he was doing paperwork. She confirmed that they were the empress of the neighboring village as she thought. She smiled cheerfully and explained that she didn't know where Mr. Zhao had been during the New Year. There was no stopping, one thing after another. The clinic was very busy at the moment, and then he said:

"What are you doing? Put it down quickly. You don't need to chop wood. There are no husbands or wives here. I am the daughter-in-law of this family. If I say you don't need to do it, then you don't have to do it. What are you doing? You are a guest. Come in quickly. Drink water."

In the blink of an eye, Dashan's wife freed the old lady. She not only arranged for the four of them to sit down and talk. We don't need them to chop the firewood, so let Wang Cai chop the duck eggs after unloading them. And he also took Nannan from the old lady's back and hugged her.

Today, Da Yue went out to work, and Nan Nan was a little uncomfortable with it. If she didn't play on the kang honestly, she would have to be carried on her back.

Dashan’s daughter-in-law did not forget those relatives in Xujiazhuang, “Get a stool and sit on it. If you don’t want to sit down, come here and I’ll get it for you.”

This frightened the relatives in Xujiazhuang, who dared to ask Mrs. Zhenting to take the stool: "Let's go now."

"Don't go. Didn't you come into the house with me? You haven't seen my aunt either, right?"

The old lady said yes, she was very busy today. In the blink of an eye, another group of guests came, and she was busy making glutinous rice cakes for the Kitchen God. Stick it on the Stove Lord's mouth like this and add some candy. If the Stove Lord eats it, he will do good things to heaven, say good things to them, and say good things about the old Xu family, and bring good luck to the lower world.

There was a small sign next to the Xu family's stove that read "Fire Destines Blessing the Stove Lord". The candlesticks were all placed, but half-made glutinous rice cakes were left there.

After a while, Mrs. Xu finally came back with Xiaopao: "Hey, who is here?"

Zhao Dashan's wife went out to greet Mrs. Xu and said, "Your daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Xu laughed out loud as she opened the door and entered the room, "Yes, my eldest niece-in-law is here," and the room became very lively for a while.

As for these four Li Zheng, they were carrying four boxes of chickens, ducks, geese, and tea as New Year gifts. Their first stop was Liu Laozhu’s house, which was also Li Zheng’s, but they came here instead. They didn’t ask us for help today, so they couldn’t come. Gang is online.

And since she was carrying things to see her mother-in-law and walked around to identify the door, Mrs. Xu would naturally ask about the health of the four upright elders and write down which family had elders and which family had no elders but children. My son, please take the time to ask your second son to bring a similar gift at the end of the fifteenth year.

Mrs. Xu just pretended to be chatting casually and asked the four people about the specialties of each village.

When talking to these Li Zheng, Mrs. Xu did not forget those relatives in Xujiazhuang.

These relatives hesitated in front of them and said no polite words. They wanted to put down their things and leave the Xu family quickly. They didn't want to stay for a moment longer, because they were uncomfortable.

But they were very excited when they returned to Xujiazhuang, and they would recite the scenes they saw in Xujiazhuang in detail to everyone they met.

Also, Mrs. Xu didn't even ask to keep those few people for dinner, but she wanted to keep them for dinner at a reasonable price.

What kind of positive law?

"The rice was washed directly there and a lot of rice was cooked. When we saw it, we ran away quickly. Why did we have the nerve to pick up some eggs and have a meal."

"And I don't mind that we are poor relatives at all. When the second aunt entered the house, she would talk to a few of us first, and put melon seeds and other things into our hands first. She also specially introduced to the lady in Zhenting that we were the second aunt. Family relatives. Mrs. Zhenting even nodded and spoke to us. "

"I didn't see Liangzi and the others. They were too busy there. They said they were out delivering goods."

As for why the men in Xujiazhuang didn't help chop wood, these people summed it up and said, maybe even though we are ordinary people, we are really not as shameless as those four people. Don't touch people or things. It would be a good idea for those guys to go to the warehouse and look for axes by themselves.

This is really true. In order to go to Erdaohe's Xu family, he would give up any dignity. They looked at him in a daze, and even helped carry the duck eggs to the next basket.

This is indeed the case. Even Mrs. Xu didn't know how to evaluate this matter. She came to the door without any friendship and even caused trouble to her family in return.

Fortunately, these four people just saw the relatives of Xujiazhuang leaving. After a while, they also left with a smile, saying that they would go to the Liu family again.

When only Zhao Dashan's wife and Mrs. Xu were left, Dashan's wife looked at the gold earrings on Mrs. Xu's ears and said angrily: "I should have come here!"

She bought a lot, and she also bought a pair of gold earrings.

The two of them had a good time. "You must accept it. This has nothing to do with your nephew. It's my wish. You always let me earn a lot of money this year. What happened to me being filial and filial? Forget it, aunt, this year is too late." I'm really busy with things. My mother-in-law is sick, and Wangcai's father was called away and never came home. He was told by the Mutual Trading Department to accompany the merchants to see the goods. I don't understand..."

In the end, Mrs. Xu accepted the gold earrings, and Wangcai specially gave them to Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu to celebrate their junior year. I didn’t see Xu Tianxin.

Old Mrs. Xu thought to herself: It turns out that I was planning to book your boy in the first place, but this look is not enough, because Xu Tianxin breastfed me and was a big sex addict when she was young. Before her granddaughter could react to this kind of honest-looking young man with thick lips and dark skin, she couldn't get angry.

To be honest, this is not as good as Liu Jingdong. My granddaughter told her that she was attracted by Jingdong. Let’s be honest, if it weren’t for fear of affecting the IQ of the next generation, Jingdong is so tall, with a high nose and big eyes. It's really good, the original granddaughter has good taste.

However, having said that, whether it is Wangcai or Jingdong, since the Xu family is now on good terms with their parents, the two young men from Zhou Zheng are almost interested in marrying Tian Xin, but they have to pick and choose with other girls.

The mothers-in-law in the village chatted together and said that if Jingdong's future wife was not fat enough, she would be blessed. Regardless of whether the serious mothers-in-law agreed or not, even they would not agree. That means how simple our children are, we must keep them in check.

Mrs. Xu specially asked the old lady to take out the New Year's red envelope, which contained one tael of silver and gave it to Wangcai.

Zhao Wangcai is so ashamed, let his mother take it. He is so old and still gets lucky money.

Wangcai hurriedly went out and carried several other New Year gifts into the house.

Zhao Dashan gave the ten pounds of beef allocated to him by the government to the Xu family. You can only eat cows that have died in a proper way. A few years ago, the Zhenbei Mutual Market Division gave each of the government officials some rapeseed oil and two kilograms of mutton. Only Zhao Dashan got beef.

In addition, Dashan's wife was entrusted by her husband to bring a special gift to the Xu family.

When Xu Youtian was alive, someone who had a good relationship with Xu Youtian gave Mrs. Xu two pieces of clothing material:

"The original words Wangcai's father asked him to convey were also the man's original words. A man's family doesn't know how to choose materials. I wonder if my aunt would care about it. That man is currently in the Zhenbei Army, and he has never left the Huo Family Army, and Wangcai's father is different... Yes, aunt, he told me about the mutual business letter.

The man said that he was too far away to visit you if he wanted to, but this time he was closer. He was busy with trading business, and his military camp also had a holiday before he could visit you again. "

Mrs. Xu asked specifically: "What is his name? What is he doing in the camp now?" She quickly thought of a way to give people some food when delivering goods to the Zhenbei Army.

"Zhang Fengkui, Dakui. I heard from Wangcai's father that he seems to be the kind of infantry porter in the camp? I don't understand what kind of arms there are. Anyway, he built a yard for the general's mansion and will also deliver goods after a while. Go overseas.”
