When Xu Youshu left, he hurriedly reconciled his father and his grandma and said:

"Nai, when you calm down again, don't be like us. Don't be angry either during the Chinese New Year. My dad and I will visit you again in a while. My dad is thinking about you!"

The old lady closed the door tightly and entered the house with a broom in hand. While sweeping the kang, she said to herself angrily:

"I can still tell if you're sincere or not. Why did you take twenty eggs just because you missed me? It's not even as much as what Hao Yinhua from the West Campus got.

If I am a lonely old lady living in a small room by myself, can you remember me? I'd stink in the house.

You haven't even asked if Zhaodi is okay since you entered the house. Is he also a father and brother? It's so cruel to say that even though the relationship is broken, it's also your biological child.

And I have these gold earrings on, so I don’t need you to look at me with false feelings. "

The old lady thought to herself: She was in Erdaohe, and thanks to that she could hear new things every day and see many people. People outside also treat her daughter-in-law as if she were an elder, and she is in a good mood.

Otherwise, he would be locked up in the hut and just think about what the son and father were doing every day. If anything happened, he would be pissed to death.

With a bang, the door outside rang again.

The old lady thought that the father and son were back again, which made her angry: "Is it over yet?!"

"...It's Aunt Xu, I'm Yang Dachun, who usually delivers pork to your family."

"My daughter-in-law orders pork from you?"

"Well, I've been booking for several months. I'm thinking about celebrating the New Year. I heard that my eldest sister and your family member mentioned that you are always here, so I have to come to visit you and wish you a happy New Year."

"Hey, please come in."

The pork seller brought four new year gifts.

Among them were the pastries that the Xu family brought for takeout, as well as a bag of melon seeds, a bag of wild fungus, and four pig trotters.

"The melon seeds and black vegetables (fungus) are saved by myself. They are not valuable things. Use them to eat. Don't dislike them, Aunt Wanwang."

"How about that? We are all from the village. I'm happy if you come to see me. You don't have to carry anything. Come on, drink some water."

After both parties finished speaking all the polite words, the pork seller still refused to leave. He held the water glass tightly in his hands and hesitated to speak.

The old lady was thinking about sifting soil and making a seedling frame. How could she work if this man didn't leave?

Actively asked:

"Do you have anything to say when you come home? Then I will ask my daughter-in-law to come back. She is busy in the village workshop today and did not go to the shop not far from home."

"No, aunt, I know she is busy... Let me tell you the truth. I heard the message that someone in your village is trying to catch pigs and lambs. I am a little worried that your family will not buy my meat in the future.

Auntie, can you tell me the truth about whether I will buy it in the future? Otherwise, I won’t even have the heart to celebrate the New Year, and I don’t know if I should raise more animals in the new year.

Bumping around like a headless fly, with worries that scratch my heart and lungs. "

The pork dealer hurriedly tried to persuade him: "If you still want to buy it, don't worry. I would also like to ask you to tell Mr. Xu that from now on, I won't ask for any more money for pig intestines. I really don't want to keep a penny for your family."

The old lady really knows this:

"Ah, that's the thing. My family doesn't have time to raise pigs this year. Although there will be two more pigs in the village, if we have to deal with so many merchants as now, the other shops can make them pork balls. My family needs enema again. We still have to cooperate with your family. The few animals raised in the village are not enough. My daughter-in-law talked about this on New Year’s Day.”

The pork dealer immediately smiled with wrinkles on his face. After taking the reassurance, he bent down and stood up and said:

"Auntie, please come in quickly. It's cold outside, so there's no need to send it away. Well, I'll bother you later and tell you, if anyone in your village wants to catch pigs and lambs, just come to my house, and I'll make sure to catch them the best ones to feed. Chong. Your family will also give me the most affordable price. If I don’t give you the most affordable price, then I won’t be a human being.”

"Wherever you go, it's a sign of kindness that you can give me a cheaper price. Then I'll thank you on behalf of the villagers who want to catch the pigs, and thank you even more for coming to see me, ah? Come back when you have time, come and go often, and walk slowly! "

The old lady's sullen mood caused by her boss just disappeared.

She feels that she is still useful and can collect gifts at home. From the Chinese New Year to now, she has collected nothing less in the name of her elders.

He can also help the villagers to catch pigs and lambs cheaply with a few words, which makes the second daughter-in-law and her family feel arrogant because they know so many people.

Then, while Nan Nan was taking a nap, Blacksmith Wu and his wife also came to pay New Year's greetings.

The old lady originally wanted to call Tian Xin'er back, mainly because the gift was too big.

Who would have thought that Blacksmith Wu would bring two large sledges with iron plates on the bottom and two new hoes. That's iron.

"Don't call Tian Xin'er, aunt, Tian Xin is busy with big things every day. We, as a couple, are just thinking about the days of the God of Wealth, so we came to see you for good luck. The hoe is for plowing to increase wealth, and the sledge is for pulling home. Cai, I hope you and your whole family can be happy throughout the year."

I heard that the Xu family bought a lot of land, and the new hoe can be used just right.

It was only when Wu Blacksmith's wife came to Xu's house that she smiled sincerely. Otherwise, she would have been having such a bad year, and she wouldn't have been able to smile.

Her youngest daughter did not return to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year. The couple was very worried about whether their daughter would be beaten severely by her son-in-law again.

Yesterday, I specially sent my son, who had just rushed home from his mother-in-law's house, to drive to his sister's place to see what was wrong. If nothing happens, just find an excuse and say you are going to deliver some food.

Speaking of which, it was the fault of the previous Zhenting. The relatives of the Zhenting family kept those second-rate thugs who stopped her daughter from touching her. After the son-in-law found out about it, he regretted marrying their daughter and beat her up after drinking some wine.

Blacksmith Wu didn't dare to sit down longer because they hadn't left yet, and many guests from the Xu family came.

Blacksmith Wu vaguely knew a few of them, but those customers didn't recognize him.

This time Mrs. Xu was found from the workshop.

Moreover, these guests were accompanied by Liu Laozhu to the Xu family.

These few guests who came to visit were the owners of a restaurant, a grain store, and the largest inn in the town. Those who open sugar, salt, pepper and aniseed shops, those who open oil mills, those who open brick kilns, and those who open charcoal kilns.

As well as the big shopkeeper of the bank branch that just moved to the town, and a heavyweight entourage named Qian Yuanwai.

These people went to pay the money man a New Year's greetings this morning. When the Xu family's fireworks were mentioned, and when they mentioned that this year's mutual market winner was Erdaohe's Xu family, they all suggested that we go and get to know Dong Xu's family.

What's wrong with the woman? This female boss, and even her cardamom-aged granddaughter, have long been in everyone's sight, and they have a feeling that they will only become more coquettish in the future.

Then there will be more cooperation, then it doesn’t matter who takes the initiative to get to know whom first.

When Zhang Dongjia, who runs an oil mill, came here, he joked that there would be people from outside opening oil mills here in Houbeidi, and he needed to go to Xu's house to shave off his beard in advance.

Because the Xu family didn't like buying oil from him. The man in Erdaohe Village was very naughty. He had learned about it from somewhere and had already found the oil shop on the other side of the county town and kept buying there. So in the future, shouldn't he give the same price as the county oil shop? As long as we can cooperate closely, small profits but quick turnover will be good.

Boss Wang from the brick kiln even smiled and said, "Then I'd like to get acquainted. I heard that the Xu family is going to build a house."

The owner of the inn hopes that after the Xu family has entertained the caravan, they can directly push the guests to his side. At the end of the year, he expanded the yard and bought the house next door. It would be better if we could get acquainted with Mr. Xu and exchange more experiences on hospitality.

Just like that, these people came to Erdaohe.

When Mrs. Xu entered the room, she heard Liu Laozhu saying excitedly: "It's really brilliant. Yes, she is not in the shop. Did you go to the shop to find her first? On the other side of the shop, she went to take care of things in the second grade of junior high school. After that, I will leave it to her daughter-in-law and her sister to take care of it. There have been no guests in the past two days and they have been in the workshop."

Mrs. Xu entered the room and everyone stood up.

Everyone except Qian and other officials are standing up, how can others not stand up?

Under the leadership of Mr. Qian, everyone took the initiative to smile and clasp their fists at Mrs. Xu. They also performed the courtesy of the boss: "Mr. Xu, good luck, good luck and everything goes as you wish."

"Oh, Mr. Qian and all the bosses, what we said is right. I really didn't expect you guys to come. It's really a blessing. I also wish all the bosses that the new year will be better than the old one, and all of you will have good luck. Great profit, great wealth, great honor, sit down, please sit down.”

The Yingzi from Guan Ertu's family and the naughty girl next door were specially asked by Liu Laozhu to boil water and make tea.

Although the old lady of the Xu family is the best at making tea, despite her shabby appearance, her hands and feet are quick and clean, and she once worked as a maid. But Liu Laozhu thought, now that she is an old lady, the mother-in-law of Xu Dadong's family, let's not mention the maid service. Can the elders serve tea?

As soon as Liu Laozhu passed by, he specially invited two juniors to entertain the guests.

In the Xu family hall, the incense candles placed in the east, west, north, and south illuminated the lamb legs and carps dedicated to the God of Wealth, and everyone was chatting lively.

If Mrs. Xu is not familiar with the owner, Mr. Qian will specially introduce it to her.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. We all know in our hearts that we have met Huo Yunqian, so our relationship will be better in the future.

In fact, Qian Yuanwai still has a group of important people in his hands.

He planned to introduce him to Mrs. Xu again when he had the opportunity in the future.

Among that group of people, if Mrs. Xu was careful, she would still have an impression.

Because these people have never stayed in an inn, but they have lived in Erdaohe.

That was by giving Huo Yunqian a New Year's gift, and once he got mixed up in the delivery team, he would never go back, and he would work as a "owner" in Beidi.

For example, in the new year, a bodyguard bureau will be established here in Beidi, a silver building will be opened, and a bookshop will be unparalleled in Kaifu City.

At present, this is what Mr. Qian knows.

He still doesn't know that his master Huo Yunqian has made up his mind to do more things in the future since he received the secret message from home, while offering incense to his grandfather and parents here in Beidi.

Huo Yunqian saw his brother's secret message last night.

Regarding the question his brother asked at the end of the letter, Huo Yunqian gave the answer very happily this time, with only one word, none.

There is no woman he likes.

Huo Yunqian believes that Zhongyi means that he has fallen in love with someone.

No matter what I am doing, there will always be a place in my heart for the woman I love.

Even if there is no contact, that person will be safe in his heart.

He doesn't have one now, and he probably won't have one in the future.

So when his grandmother and brother mentioned his marriage again in this letter, this time Huo Yunqian was uncharacteristically determined not to let it go and not to have any calculations.

Yes, there was resignation and calculation.

Huo Yunqian recalled his three engagements. It was enough that so many people were talking about his marriage now.

The first time I got engaged, it was the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker.

His father said that he had a domineering temperament, that he always told the truth and was easy to criticize, so his mother arranged for him a woman with a temperament like water in the south of the Yangtze River.

I hope that water drops will penetrate the stone, and the gentle temperament will make him a harmonious couple.

At that time, he was young and frivolous, and the only thing he said to the other person when he first met was to just make do.

Due to my parents' orders to find a matchmaker, I have the impression that I had to pinch my nose to recognize him.

Otherwise his father would really punish him.

I didn't expect that this lady is really made of water, and she never steps out of the door. You move a little bit, and the maid helps you every step you take. Isn't that body weak except for doing embroidery and playing the piano? I heard that when I read a book, I would shed tears and worry about it.

Is this a temperament? This is melancholy.

It was a cold wind in the end, good or bad, bad or good, he had forgotten what the other person looked like.

I was urged by my parents to go to Jiangnan to deliver medicine. I wanted to meet him for a second time to deepen my impression, but when I received a reply from him, he was gone.

So this first one, who is rumored to be a wife-guppet, really doesn't have the skills of "those people".

That was one of the rare and unreliable things his parents did in their lives, and it happened to him by accident.

Grandma was very angry and said that his parents shouldn't think too much and whether they were overbearing or not depended on whether they had the right intentions.

At that time, he felt that his grandmother understood him.

The second girl who got engaged was because his Huo family had undergone great changes. His parents were gone, his father was still talking about his marriage before he died, and his brother was disabled after returning from the war. The Huo family closed its doors and announced that they had returned to their ancestral home.

In order to fulfill his father's last wish, his grandmother quickly decided to be the legitimate daughter of General Annan.

It is said that the youngest daughter of General Annan rode a horse and hunted, and she had a round and healthy figure.

But at this time, the princes saw that the Huo family was not taking sides, and that General Annan was not taking sides, and they did not want the two families to help each other. He actually tampered with the ship that General Annan was rushing to Beijing to pay troops to. General Annan and his family were all salvaged three days later.

After Jinshang found out, he didn't know whether he was really angry or not, but he only punished the two leading officials in charge of shipping at that time.

Huo Yunqian only knew that he was deeply disappointed with this dynasty for the first time, and it was all suppressed by the ancestral teachings.

As for the third time, that is in the past two years.

Huo Yunqian felt very sorry for the woman who wanted to get engaged to him.

Because after several years and many things that happened, Huo Yunqian knew what kind of wife he wanted.

This was a request he made to his grandmother, and she found it according to his request.

The eldest daughter of a once glorious family that has fallen into decline.

Such a woman knows what she wants, what the Huo family can give her, she has people she wants to protect, and she has a certain amount of experience and mind.

But Huo Yunqian didn't expect that in order to realize his weakness of suppressing his wife, those people would go to any lengths and the car rolled down the mountain. (End of chapter)
