At night, the handsome man was still awake.

He was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the kang excitedly, gesturing to Meizhuang and saying how nice the wild forest was, with some very good wood for the beams.

Moreover, on the icy and snowy country road, when you drag the log into the village, you can drag home the good things that the general's house has chosen, which is exciting. It’s free and doesn’t cost any money, so that’s great.

"I'm just afraid of being taken away to work as a labor force. However, I thought again, my eldest wife has Tian Xin'er in her family. As long as she wants to get her uncle, she will get me as her uncle. Is that so, daughter-in-law? Tian Xin should not give up any of her. "

The latter question is a bit vague.

Meizhuang hurriedly gave her man reassurance: "Yes. From now on, you are like grasshoppers on a rope. If you don't say anything, you can't be taken away. Even if you take ten thousand steps back, you will still have a companion to work with you. Are you afraid? What."

"That pair, even if Tian Xin can't fish us out, she can still find someone to give us a lighter job. She still has this ability. Wife, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm going to sleep."

After a while, Xiao Zhuzhu touched the baby in his wife's belly, turned over and muttered again:

"But if we are destined to do corvee work, why don't we strike while the iron is hot and chop some more? If there are more, we will keep two at home and save them for my son to sit in the closet and marry a wife in the future. If we don't give them, my aunt will not treat us badly. We will The two of them have neither father nor mother. Now they can open this shop, and the price of the land for the shop has increased. Isn't it all thanks to others? "

In the future, when his son is born and grows up, he will have a good relationship and become more of a real relative.

The handsome man's mind flashed back to the moment when he opened the restaurant, there were no guests in his house, and Mrs. Xu scolded the couple for being stupid while entering the house to greet the guests and divert them to his house.

Bringing good things to your eldest mother's house is equivalent to pulling good things to yourself.

At the same time, Xu Youliang suddenly turned over and sat up.

He put on his clothes and opened the door and was startled. The fourth child was about to knock on the door.

Xu Youliang pushed his younger brother out, turned around and closed the door gently before asking in a low voice, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Second brother, let's go back tomorrow morning. There are still a lot of wood that shopkeeper Guo wants, and we haven't brought them home yet."

Is it from your home?

It's so audacious to break the law.

Or maybe the three of them are bold to begin with, but they just keep suppressing it.

"...where is the third child?"

"My third brother and Dapeng are sleeping soundly. Let them sleep well and carry the wood tomorrow. Second brother, if you agree, I will go to the warehouse to dig out the sticky bean buns and steam some on the stove in my house. Then I will carry the wood." Hungry. This time we will prepare more firewood, bake the snow to produce water, and create an icy road on the downhill turns. The wood will slide faster at the foot of the mountain. In this way, our three brothers and our two nephews can work. "

As for other people, bad things can't always affect others.

Xu Youyin did not consider taking others with him when hunting tomorrow.

But before dawn the next day, while Xu Youliang was feeding the old cow, someone knocked on his door.

Xu Youliang rushed over to open the door immediately, fearing to wake up his family.

Outside the door, Father Hongzao was carrying a bundle of hemp rope that was stronger than yesterday on his shoulders.

"Brother, why are you here? Have you eaten yet?"

"Ate."

When Hong Zao's father got up early, he cooked food for the chickens at home. He chopped some ginger and boiled water to feed the chickens to keep away the cold. He drank a bowl.

They also made chicken food cooked with dried wild vegetables, grass and corn, and he also drank a bowl of it.

"There's no one in the shop these past two days, and there's nothing going on at my house. Today is the fifth day of the lunar month to welcome the God of Wealth, so I thought we'd go out and pick up some more money."

A person who doesn't usually talk much didn't expect to speak so well.

After a while, a handsome man wearing much thicker clothes than yesterday came running over holding a torch.

He was still covering his head with his wife's headscarf.

Without fastening it, Xiaozhu threw the long strip of scarf behind his back and said in a low voice: "Come on, wood is rare, and it will be worth paying the tax later."

Anyway, you have already committed a crime. No matter how much wood you cut, the final punishment is to pay taxes and do corvee. It must be worth it: "Let's go home first and then talk about it. You can't go when others find out, what do you think?"

These people just disappeared.

The old lady is old and has little sleep, so she always gets up early.

She bent down to cook on the kang, when she found a letter placed beside the stove: "...the word knows me, but I don't know it. What does it mean? Who wrote it? It's like a ghost drawing a talisman. Ah, these seven A little stick figure, the picture is about going out."

Liu Jingdong entered the house at this time.

"Where are my second brother and the others?"

"Take a look, it should have been written by a few of them."

Liu Jingdong understood the letter with just one glance, frowned and said, "Why don't you wait for me!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly strode out.

Today, Liu Jingdong even brought out his own bullock cart. He couldn't always ask his father to be a good person and lend it to the village for fishing. He also had brotherhood and needed to use the cart.

The old lady finally understood, and these grandsons were going to cut down the wood again.

The old lady in Lao Xu's family is most curious about Liu Jingdong, why do you think this child looks so exciting? Even her old lady rarely looked at her twice.

No wonder others are willing to spend money on him, no matter if he is a good-looking girl or boy.

Last night, the old lady went into the cave and ate a bowl of noodles. They were pure white noodles. Normally she would have felt really sick, and she would also secretly complain that her daughter-in-law had never planned her life.

Any family would be worried to death if they were to raise such a boy. It would cost more food than raising a Youcang.

But if it were Liu Jingdong, the old lady would give up just looking at that face.

What's more, I even knew how to bring a bag of dry food with me when I entered the cave yesterday. We, stingy people, would not be willing to plot against such a sincere child.

At this time, when she saw that Liu Jingdong was about to wave his whip to chase his children and grandchildren, the old lady sincerely smiled and invited:

"Come into the cave, I'll take care of the food, and you can come home to eat. Today, the fifth-year-old grandma will cook dumplings for you, and then give you a pot of millet porridge. You must interact with my grandchildren when you go up the mountain. Take care of me, do you hear me?"

"I understand, grandma, but don't forget to ask me, Aunt Xu, to make dumplings and smash them. Don't do it!"

The smile on the old lady's face froze: "..."

She originally set her heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.

What kind of kid is this? He dislikes her for not being able to cook well.

When the old lady returned to the hospital, Xu Tianxin had already stood up and washed her face, preparing to play Ba Duan Jin.

This means that Xu Tianxin sticks to his word and really starts to devote himself to his work.

Otherwise, during the holidays, she would sleep until ten o'clock in the morning every day. Before ten o'clock, it was very quiet when walking around the house, for fear of disturbing her sleep.

But now, Xu Tianxin not only got up early, but also took a group of girls and young men from the village to practice skiing in the direction of the shop. They would run and ski there in the morning to feed the dogs. When the weather gets warm, they would also like to do archery. When Auntie Zhuang's shop was empty, she was rushing to make hunting targets for the children in the village.

On the way back from skiing, the girls Xu Tianxin hired were all good at making ends meet, and they would also pick up a lot of firewood for their small workshops and carry them back while skiing.

However, Xu Tianxin had one more thing to do this morning, and she couldn't leave the house until she finished it, which was to seriously invite the God of Wealth with her grandma.

On weekdays, Xu Tianxin doesn’t pay much attention to other traditional festivals.

But on the day to welcome the God of Wealth, she didn't dare to say a bad word, she would be so impatient.

Xu Tianxin specially reminded Tai Nai, aunt, Zhao Zhao and Da Yue. Even Nan Nan, who had just entered the house, told her, "Listen to my aunt and hold your fists, okay? Congratulations on getting rich."

The Xu family put two large legs of lamb in the house early in the morning. Sheep is a homonym for auspiciousness.

Four big carps, the fish represent the carp jumping over the dragon gate, and there will be more than enough every year.

Mrs. Xu washed herself and dressed up, and lit the incense candle with her hand wearing a gold ring.

The old lady took advantage of the break in cooking and curiously opened the door curtain and took a look inside: "I have never seen such a pious person. My daughter-in-law lights incense in all directions."

How could Mrs. Xu not pay attention to it? Her evil live broadcast room is the live broadcast room of the God of Wealth.

What's more, the five-way God of Wealth robbed the rich and helped the poor during his lifetime, punished the evil and promoted the good after his death, and most of all, protected the people who sincerely believed in the God of Wealth. Who would despise having too much money?

Mrs. Xu couldn't figure out who among the five was responsible for her. She knew that these five gods of wealth were all rich, so no matter in modern times or here, she always bought portraits of the five of them and presented them together.

She said that the only problem with the five gods of wealth is laziness. Because going to work means giving money to people, so why should she be so active? She will only be forced to work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so she must seize the opportunity.

When Mrs. Xu and her granddaughter were holding incense and saluting, Guan Ertu was standing at the gate of Xu's house, waiting with his hands in his sleeves.

Mrs. Xu came out to set off firecrackers and heard that there is an additional custom here than in modern times, which is to ask when welcoming the God of Wealth: "God of Wealth, is my family rich this year?"

Isn't that right? Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin looked at each other first, and then asked together.

Guan Ertu hurriedly responded outside with the loudest voice: "Rich! In the Daqian Dynasty, Xiangping City, Erdaohe Village, Helan Town, Pingzhou County. Today, in the Daqian Dynasty, the General Mansion in the north of the town has the jurisdiction of Erdaohe Village, and Dongtou Lao Xu "Home", hey, take a breather, "I will definitely get rich this year!"

There is no father in the Xu family, so father is equal to wealth.

So Guan Ertuo was Xu Tianxin's master, so he was called by Mrs. Xu to shout this line.

For this reason, Guan Ertu specially washed his teeth and face this morning, and asked his daughter to cook him a plate of frozen dumplings. He planned to eat them full, so he could shout with all his strength and try to spread the news from the east end of the village to the west.

When Tian Xin'er's mother told him about this, Guan Ertuo was very worried.

He was afraid that he would have to answer the question more than once in the morning, and he was also worried that Mrs. Xu, a money-lover, would be cruel and let him stay at the door of the Xu family to be "rich" for a day.

After Guan Ertu finished shouting those words, Xu Tianxin couldn't hold it in any longer, and she laughed. She was really afraid that the God of Wealth would not be able to find the right place, as the address was so detailed.

Everyone in the Xu family also laughed together with Xu Tianxin's laughter. Old Mrs. Xu wiped away the tears from laughter. Seeing how tired the bald man was, it was not easy for her face to turn red.

Probably because they were having a lot of fun in the morning, Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin left home, and then two people came to the Xu family who made them feel bad.

Uncle Xu and Xu Youshu came in carrying twenty eggs: "Mom, whose child is this? Why are you still raising a baby at such an old age?"

Uncle Xu sighed again and found a stool to sit on, and continued to talk to himself:

"Are they the god-grandsons recognized by the younger siblings? Their children. I really don't know what to think. Why don't you give me some advice? Let me tell you, do those boys not have the guidance of their parents? Why, it’s so shameless. I’ve heard it a long time ago, saying that they originally came to repay their kindness, and Yucang saved them, but to repay their kindness, they should sign a death contract and work for the family all the time. It’s so nice to admit that they are relatives. Changing your face? My sister-in-law is so... ha."

Uncle Xu didn't know who he was laughing at, and he was also mocking himself.

I felt that his younger siblings were very clever and could plot against real relatives like him, forcing them to take back four acres of their land. How could they be so stupid as to admit that they were relatives and let others take advantage of them.

Xu Youshu also looked at Nan Nan playing on the kang with discomfort. He obviously doesn't recognize him, so why can he be said to be his Xu family's child from now on? He doesn't have to let others take advantage of him for nothing. He has a blood relationship and the money he can borrow is limited at the moment.

The old lady no longer wanted to talk to these two people. She obviously shouldn't quarrel during the Chinese New Year, and she wanted nothing more than a smooth New Year for her family, but she still didn't have a good attitude to face it.

As long as she sees her eldest son, the old lady can recall those two heart-wrenching days when she revealed all the kindness of a mother and the filial piety of her son. Zhaodi was shaking before her eyes and she hit the wall and fell unconscious.

Therefore, the old lady didn't even want to deal with the superficial words, and there was no need to explain to the eldest son's family who had broken off the marriage. In fact, she had also wondered why she wanted to accept the marriage at first.

She didn't understand why her daughter-in-law and her great-granddaughter, especially her great-granddaughter, were disgusted with the idea of ​​being a slave under a death contract.

The old lady even once wondered, could it be because she, a mother-in-law, had knelt down eight times a day to serve people as a maid when she was young?

At that time, her life as a maid was not hers, thanks to her ugly appearance. If she was attracted by a friend who came to the house while serving tea and water, she would have to accompany the guest to the kang. Mr. Wang’s wife’s family had several concubines who were specially given medicine to prevent them from having children. Even they had to do this, let alone the maids.

It is also common for people to go out and be punished by kneeling and starving for making small mistakes. If you make a big mistake, someone will come to your door and resell it.

Taking into account these experiences, the old lady felt that our family was really incapable of doing such cruel things. Basically, it was all about poor people signing a death contract or not to become slaves. If you adopt someone without a father or mother, you should be able to accumulate virtue for your own children and grandchildren, and only then will you accept it.

But later on, she slowly learned the lesson, and these great-grandsons were a real help.

When they were slaves, they were guided by their masters step by step, but when her family adopted these few, they were sincerely helping the family pull things back.

Don't talk about it, go to the mountains to find that kind of wood. It's so cold and cold, and the slaves know where there are good things, but they have to pretend not to know, and they will be as lazy as possible.

Dapeng was lucky. When he heard that he could exchange his milk for two cents, he wanted to wrap up those pieces of wood with all his life. He also made her a small chair for squatting on the toilet, which changed people's hearts.

And just this morning during dinner, her Tian Xin'er told Dayue and Zhaozhao that when they became proficient in this job, they would give Dayue and Zhaozhao another step. We need to teach them the complete set of techniques from beginning to end, including medicine. In the future, if there is a school, you will have to learn how to read and whether you want to study medicine. But in the future, if you hire a martial arts master, you will have to learn some self-defense skills, as well as driving cattle and riding large animals.

What the old lady didn't know was that she had to teach her loyal subordinates, because Xu Tianxin was destined to go out in the future.

As for Dayue and Xu Zhaozhao, apart from worrying that Tian Xin would despise them for being stupid, in other respects they all expressed that they would follow her Sweet Dabao for the rest of their lives. Oyue said early on that she would not marry again, and seeing a man was enough.

Let's see what she, a person who won't remarry, can do for Tian Xin for the rest of her life.

Zhaozhao said that she also had to learn how to keep accounts, so that Tian Xin'er would have many businesses in the future. If Tian Xin'er was married and it was difficult to manage, she would be Tian Xin'er's private housekeeper.

Listen, these children often have sweet dreams, and they will worry about running away before they learn to walk. Today is the day of the God of Wealth, let’s brag early in the morning.

"Let's go, you don't understand even if I tell you." The old lady thought to herself: Some things can only be seen clearly through experience. People who are not blood relatives can be called relatives. Sometimes, it is only blood relatives who hurt our hearts because they think we are Treat people well as a matter of course.

On the contrary, I am a little nicer to outsiders. They know from the beginning to the end that I don't owe them anything, and they will keep every good thing in their hearts. Even the ordinary villagers borrow a little money and send them big and small gifts during the New Year.

The old lady pointed at Xu Youshu: "You go too."

"Miscellaneous, but I haven't kowtowed to you yet." Xu Youshu didn't expect that after so many days, his grandmother still didn't calm down.

The old lady narrowed her eyes and said, "Are you trying to kowtow to me? Who's stopping you, but are you kowtowing? You want to stay here a little longer and see if you can meet a few distinguished guests to visit me for New Year greetings. You're right. Those people said he was the nephew of the family."

Xu Youshu was Uncle Xu's rival. When exposed, he became angry and said: "Mom, what you said is too much!"

The old lady didn't want to quarrel: "Let me say it again, today is the day of the God of Wealth. I would like to remind you that you are very important to the silver lady. Otherwise... don't forget that we have a divorce document. It doesn't matter what your name is here. You Even if you call me dad, I'm too lazy to argue with you. But if you provoke her on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, be careful if she beats gongs and drums and goes to town and then goes to the villages to tell you, you will have no relatives. "

The old lady even stuffed the eggs back, and Se Xu had a book in her arms. Take it back quickly and be filial to your mother-in-law. Not to mention that eating eggs here has eased their relationship: "Hurry up, let's go, let's go!"

Xu Youshu, you should do something serious, look at her other eldest grandsons, they are all making money with their hands. She was also busy emptying the warehouse and hiding the wood.

You are not allowed to stay here, what if you see her family secrets!

Uncle Xu and Xu Youshu were driven out by the old lady waving her broom.
