farmer's wife

Chapter 179 Familiar
On the second day, Shi Yang put up a notice outside the shop, stating that the owner has something to do and today is the last day of business.

The guests were surprised, and did not leave immediately after buying the pastries.

"Shopkeeper Shi, why isn't Fortune Dessert open? It's still a few days before the end of the year."

"Yeah, A Yang, what's the matter?" It was an old neighbor who frequented the business who asked.

"Thank you for your concern! The shop is fine, but my master sent us a letter asking us to go to celebrate the New Year."

"It turned out that Boss Fu let you go there. It's very good. It's Chinese New Year, and the reunion is lively."

"Then when will your shop open again?"

"It is inconvenient to go back and forth in winter, at least until March next year."

"Hey, it's going to take several months! I'm used to eating a few small pastries from your family every day. No, I'll buy more today."

"Brother, what I said is that my children like it too. Shopkeeper Shi will bring me more."

I heard that today is the last day for Fuqi Dessert to open. Driven by the customers in the store, everyone rushed to buy more.It didn't take long for today's pastries to be sold out.

Shi Yang saw off the guests, Ye An helped him close the shop door, and everyone went back to the backyard.

When Fang Fang came over in the afternoon, Shi Yang settled her wages for half a month first, and then asked her to stay with Shi Man to clean up the ingredients at home.

There will be no one at home for several months, so Shi Yang prepares to make food before he leaves. He either makes dry food to take with him on the road, or gives it to the neighbors around, asking them to help look after the shop.

In addition to the neighbors, Shi Yang also deliberately went to Gaoyimen to look for the black dog with pastries and money.The black dog also often comes to visit the business on weekdays, Shi Yang followed Xiao Lie and got to know him well.

Hearing Shi Yang's reason for coming, the black dog grinned and patted himself on the chest, and he responded with a big smile, "Come on, you can go and find Brother Xiao to celebrate the New Year without worry, I'll ask the brothers to keep an eye out for you near the shop." .”

The black dog only accepted the cakes brought by Shi Yang, but did not ask for any money.

In the afternoon, Shi Yang took Ye An and others back to Anping Village.

The carriage stopped in front of the village chief's house, and when Aunt Zhang came out, she saw these unfamiliar faces.

Shi Yang jumped out of the carriage, and Aunt Zhang looked at him and Ye An, feeling that this person looked familiar.

Without Shi Yang's introduction, Ye An first approached Aunt Zhang with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, I'm Ye Anna, and I came to the Xiao family with Uncle Wu before."

Hearing what he said, Aunt Zhang remembered.That's no stranger.

Aunt Zhang smiled and let them enter the yard.

Aunt Zhang: "Are you a relative of Alie's family? Come in quickly. Why are you here? Alie and Ayan are back?"

Shi Yang explained to Aunt Zhang: "Brother Ye An is here to pick me and Aman to Yunjing to celebrate the New Year together."

"Ye An came this time and brought New Year's gifts for Brother Alie and Master."

Aunt Zhang looked at him in surprise, and then looked at the things that the rest of the people had brought down one by one. The Eight Immortals table in the main room was already full.And these haven't been moved yet.

Before Aunt Zhang refused, Shi Yang pointed at these things and said, "Aunt Zhang, I don't know the people in the village well, so I put everyone's New Year ceremony here first. See if I can tell you Which home is it, can you send it there for me?"

Aunt Zhang was led astray by him.She was warm-hearted, and when she heard Shi Yang's request for help, she responded repeatedly: "It's okay, you haven't been to the village a few times, so I can't blame you if you don't know him well. You put it here, and I'll send it to you later."

Shi Yang turned his face and smiled secretly, Master was indeed right.As long as Aunt Zhang is not given a chance to refuse, she can only accept it.

Shi Yang suppressed the corners of his mouth, and led Aunt Zhang to divide and explain things clearly.

Aunt Zhang didn't care about other things, and while remembering what Shi Yang said, she found a chair for each family and piled them up separately, so as not to forget it when she turned around.

Seeing the two of them busy here, Ye An and others quietly retreated after moving their things.

After counting things, Aunt Zhang thumped her waist and straightened up.

Shi Yang frowned angrily, he was negligent.

He helped Aunt Zhang sit on a chair beside him and poured him another glass of water, "Aunt Zhang, drink some water and rest for a while."

Aunt Zhang narrowed her eyes and waved to Shi Yang with a smile: "It's okay, people are like this when they get older. You also sit down for a while."

Shi Yang took out the letter written by Fu Yan from his arms and handed it to Aunt Zhang: "This is what Master asked me to hand over to you."

Aunt Zhang touched the envelope happily.She couldn't wait for the old man to come back to read the letter at night, so she put the letter in Shi Yang's hand again and said, "A Yang, read it to me."

Shi Yang opened it as he said, and read out the contents of the letter.

Fu Yan greeted the village chief's family in advance, saying that she couldn't come back to celebrate the New Year this year, so she could only send some cotton cloth from Yunjing to express her affection, and hoped that Aunt Zhang and the others would accept it.

What Fu Yan prepares for relatives and friends in the village are practical and inexpensive food, cloth and other things, so that the villagers can accept them with peace of mind.

Aunt Zhang smiled from ear to ear, "This child is too polite!"

After Shi Yang finished reading the letter, Aunt Zhang put it away carefully.When the old man comes back, let him see what the children think.

After Aunt Zhang finished delivering here, Shi Yang got up and planned to leave.They still had to go up the mountain to give Sun Changming a new year gift. If the carriage couldn't go up the mountain, they had to move it up by themselves.

Seeing that he was leaving, Aunt Zhang quickly asked him to have dinner.

Shi Yang looked at the sky and declined politely: "Aunt Zhang, I won't do it this time. We still have to go to the back mountain."

A Lie and A Yan will not forget Sun Changming if they can give their family a new year gift.

Aunt Zhang grabbed Shi Yang's arm and said anxiously: "Oh, we don't have any good things at home. I packed up the Chinese New Year's bacon, dried chicken, duck and fish, and my own pickled vegetables and salted duck eggs. You can go together Take it to them. Alie and Jian used to like the bacon I made."

"This……"

Aunt Zhang: "Are you going in the carriage outside?"

Shi Yang nodded.

"It's easy to handle if you have a carriage, and it won't take up much space if you put it on the carriage!"

Shi Yang refused and Aunt Zhang Fei dragged him and refused to let him go.

In the end, Shi Yang could only agree, dumbfounded.

After Shi Yang left, Aunt Zhang immediately locked the courtyard door and put Sun Changgeng back in the field.

The youngest daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy for the Sun family last month, and Aunt Zhang took care of the daughter-in-law and came back only a few days after confinement.

She had to ask the old man to come back and write a letter to tell Alie and Arou the good news.And during the two months they were away, I also told them what happened in the village at home.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and Shi Yang, Ye An and the others packed their things and went up the mountain together.

A gloomy and vicissitudes of life man walked from a distance in the field, without energy.

Ye An felt familiar, so he stopped and looked at the man.

"Brother Ye An?" Shi Yang called out.

"Do you know that person?"
