Chapter 117
During the Chinese New Year, the eldest brother of the Han family, Han Dong, came to Luoshui Village.

At this time, the two students Qiusong and Qiuhe were also on vacation, and school would not start until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.This day, Qiu He was sitting on a big stone slab in the yard and fiddled with something. He was happily playing with the gadgets in his hand.The cold wind was blowing in his ears, but he didn't realize it.So much so that he didn't know when his uncle entered the yard.

"Qiuhe, what are you doing here? Don't go inside to warm up by the fire. Be careful not to get sick from the cold." As soon as Han Dong entered the yard, he saw Qiuhe sitting on the stone slab with an excited expression on his face.Seeing his nephew whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Han Dong's heart was filled with joy.It can be seen that his face was pale from the cold wind outside the house, his lips were purple, and there was a hint of distress in his eyes.Come over to him quickly.

Qiu He heard the voice, raised his head suddenly, and saw his uncle Han Dong.Qiu He was full of joy, threw away the slingshot in his hand, and jumped up like a spring.Running towards Han Dong with short legs.A fierce son plunged into Han Dong's arms and said cheerfully, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Don't look at Qiuhe's pale face from the cold, but his body is not cold at all.Han Dong was really cold. Now that Qiuhe was close to him, it was like a big stove, very warm.Han Dong's heart relaxed, and then he put on a serious face, "What do you mean, uncle can't come to see you?"

"No... no, that's not what Qiu He meant. Of course, Qiu He welcomes uncle!" Qiu He took his uncle's hand and quickly led him into the house.He kept shouting at the top of his voice: "Father, mother, uncle is here, father, mother!"

Hearing Qiuhe's call, Mrs. Han put down her needlework and walked to the door of the main room to look around. Sure enough, she saw a tall and big man following Qiuhe. That familiar face was probably her elder brother.Seeing Han Dong, Mrs. Han became excited and said excitedly, "Brother, it's snowing, why are you here? Come in."

Qiuyue and Qiulin also hurriedly got up and went to the stove to serve ginger boiled water to uncle.This boiled ginger water is boiled with old ginger and tangerine peel, and then put some brown sugar in it. It tastes spicy and sweet, and it is best for removing wind and dampness.In this winter, drinking boiled ginger water can warm the stomach and drive away the cold, so Qiulin's family usually has this thing.

A bowl of steaming ginger boiled water was brought up and placed on a small table beside it.Han Dong hadn't seen the eldest sister's family for many days, but seeing each other now, his heart was filled with joy.Han Dong was very relieved to see that the faces of the children were all radiant, not as skinny as they were before.It seems that the life of the eldest sister's family is getting more and more prosperous, so he can feel relieved.

"It's like this, my family killed a pig the day before yesterday, and my mother asked me to be sent by you. But something was delayed, so it's not until today." Han Dong said with a smile.At this moment, Qiu Lin brought the slightly cooled Jiang Kaishui to Han Dong, and Han Dong took it and took a sip.This spicy and sweet taste tasted really good in his mouth, and the most important thing was the hot air, which exuded an extremely attractive light like a red sun, which made him gulp down it again Several mouthfuls.After drinking a bowl of boiled ginger water, Han Dong felt his whole body warm up, much more comfortable than before.

Xu Nanshan frowned, "How can I trouble my brother-in-law to come over in person, we are going to go there anyway during the Chinese New Year, it's so cold, it's really embarrassing for my brother-in-law."

Han Dong said with a smile: "What's the trouble? It's just running errands. Now it's not as good as it used to be. Now I take a bull cart and use a car instead of a car. Isn't it much better than before?"

Han said from the side: "You are also busy with starting a workshop this year. Where do you raise how many pigs? There are so many people in the family, where can you send us pork?" Hey, since she got married, which year has it not been like this? Let her family bring food and drink.The old man should enjoy the blessing of her as a daughter, but every time it is her mother's family who supplements her family, she really feels very sorry for her as a daughter.

"Where is it? Not to mention, the business of opening a workshop is really good, and there are a lot of orders. The third brother and I are almost overwhelmed. Thinking about hiring someone to do it after the New Year is over. "As soon as the workshop was mentioned, Han Dong's face was filled with pride. It seemed that the business of the workshop was really booming.Han Dong went on to say: "This year, the family has a lot of surplus money compared to the past, and there is no need to sell some pork as in previous years. Last time Qiu Song went to tell his eldest aunt that acorns can kill pigs. For food, his aunts went up the mountain to pick up some acorns and came back to eat the pig. But they didn't want the pig to be willing to eat it, and they didn't dislike it. By the end of the year, a pig weighed 170 catties! At home After raising two pigs, there is enough meat for a whole year, big sister, stop talking like that. After all, don’t we have to thank Qiulin Qiusong?”

What Han Dong said made everyone feel happy. It seems that the life of Han Dong's family is getting more and more prosperous!Seeing Han Dong's happy face, everyone was also happy for him.

Qiuhe jumped up and down and cheered, "Wow, my uncle's family has made a lot of money, and I want to buy candy corners for Qiulin."

Han Dong smiled and touched Qiu He's small head, "Of course, uncle will buy you a lot of candy coins in the future."

Qiuyue on the side knocked on Qiuhe's head with a burst of chestnuts, raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes and said: "Eat, eat, eat, eat all day long, why don't you go into the sugar jar!"

Being scolded by the elder sister like this, Qiuhe felt very wronged, he just wanted to eat and act like a baby with his uncle, if he really wanted to eat candy dime!

"Okay, Qiuyue, don't talk about your younger brother. Your uncle finally came here. You and Si'er can cook." Han also knows Qiuyue's temper, which comes and goes quickly, so naturally she doesn't like it. Get into trouble with her and send her to cook.

Speaking of Qiuyue, Han Dong thought of another thing. When the siblings went into the kitchen, Han Dong asked: "What happened to Qiuyue and the Zhang family last time? Listen to what Yichen and the others said , that Zhang family is pretty good." Last time Qiu Song sent fish and lotus root to his family, he wanted to ask.It's just that Qiusong is still a baby, so it's not easy to ask these questions, so I just let it go.Today I just remembered it again, so I just asked.

Mrs. Han and Xu Nanshan looked at each other and smiled. Seeing this smile, Han Dong felt confident. It seemed that this matter had really come true.

"It took a lot of trouble, but fortunately, it's finally done." Han Shi nodded to Han Dong with a satisfied smile on his face.Ah Cheng is really a good person, the Qi family is not the one who made things difficult, and the two sides know each other well, so Ah Yue will definitely not suffer any tears when she marries in the future.Ah Yue can marry such a family, what else is Han dissatisfied with.

Han Dong saw that his elder sister was very happy when she mentioned this matter, so he nodded with a smile, "That's good, Ah Yue's life-long event has been settled." satisfied.
