"I'm hoeing, it's almost Chinese New Year, let's have a rest."

Hearing the voice, Xu He raised his eyes and glanced at the man in front of him. He was the son of the Wang family at the head of the village. He heard that he worked as a helper in the city and could earn thousands of dollars a month. He had heard the Queen Mother boasting so much. .

"Is there something wrong?"

Although Wang Lang was displeased with Xu He's indifference, his thoughts were not on him after all. He couldn't see Xu Shaochun on weekdays, and Liu Xianglan stared at her daughter like a pearl in her eyes, so she could only start with his younger brother. know things.

"It's a holiday in the city. I paid my wages and brought back some gadgets for your sister. Can you hand them over to her for me?"

Xu He said, "Why didn't you give it to her yourself?"

"Oh, good Brother He, don't you understand better than anyone else?"

Xu He continued to **** the ground, calmly said: "Why should I run away for you?"

Wang Lang said very kindly: "This matter is easy to talk about, easy to talk about."

He quickly took out a few pennies from his pocket: "It's troublesome."

Xu He accepted the money without blushing, and said, "It's one thing to run for you, I can't guarantee if she wants it or not."

It's not the first time Wang Lang gave something to Xu Shaochun, he knows the way, and Xu He is really honest, if Xu Shaochun confiscated something, he would take it back and return it: "I know, I know, your sister likes it."

Xu He took the things, answered, and dug the ground again.

Seeing that the matter was over, the man didn't talk to Xu He much. He said that the business was fine, and if it was a small talk, he couldn't squeeze out a word for a long time. Who would ask for trouble to talk to him? He went happily with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Fangyuan in the distance couldn't help but laugh, this youngest Xu, looks quite honest, and has a lot of sons in his heart.

"Busy now?"

Xu He heard the voice and thought that business is so good today? He raised his head again, seeing the approaching burly figure, his eyebrows twitched.

"I didn't expect you to be good at doing business."

Facing the ridicule from the visitor, Xu He didn't get angry either: "I have to pay back the money."

Zhang Fangyuan laughed again, and said very interestedly: "Hey, do people often send things to your sister?"

"Um."

"All let you change hands?"

Xu He raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, you also have something you want me to forward?"

Zhang Fangyuan smacked and said: "Then based on our friendship, can I not have to pay travel expenses?"

Xu He was annoyed: "It will be deducted from the medical money."

"Your abacus is really smooth." Zhang Fangyuan found it very interesting: "I see that the third son of the Wang family is so upright. How long have you been doing this? Everyone in the village wants to ask your sister to come home and be a wife." , you didn’t earn less from it, did you?”

"The government's collection of taxes is not as powerful as your investigation." Xu He said, "I'm not so kind as to run away for others."

Zhang Fangyuan smiled from ear to ear, and it took him a while to think of his horse. He pulled the rein: "Look, how is it?"

Xu He noticed the strong black horse behind Zhang Fangyuan early in the morning, snorting.

It seems that only the landlords in the village have horses, and the price is very high. A few years ago, his father also wanted to buy a cow and return it to farming. Where did Zhang Fangyuan get this animal?

He said sincerely: "Very good."

"The horse is injured, and it will take a while before it can be used. When the horse is ready, I will take a cart and I will take it to the city when you go to the city."

Xu He thought he was going to carry people for a living, so he started soliciting customers early, so he agreed.

Seeing that he was speechless, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help but scratched the back of his head, thinking of something else to talk about, but he couldn't find it. Instead, Xu He said first, "You're just going to see horses these days?"

"How do you know I'm not in the village?"

Xu He lowered his eyebrows slightly: "I passed by your house when I went up the mountain to collect firewood."

"Oh. I went to the village to slaughter pigs." After Zhang Fangyuan finished speaking, he emphasized: "I made some money."

Xu He didn't know why he said this to himself, didn't they always say that their wealth should not be exposed. But after thinking about it, he was not in the village for a while, and there were rumors. The villagers said that he went to the city to mess around again. Two days ago, Fourth Uncle Zhang almost got into a fight with someone.

"That's good, do you want to go?"

"It's the Chinese New Year, so I won't go, and I will do some small business in the village and city."

Xu He is very envious of men who can make a living by themselves, can do whatever they want, and all the money they earn is their own, unlike him who was born as a little brother, who has to rely on his parents at home, and obeys men when he gets married. Burn some charcoal fire to weave two chicken coops and sell them, and all the money will be confiscated by his mother. It is more difficult to save some private money than to go to heaven.

Fortunately, he is thick-skinned, and behind his family's back, he can earn a couple of pennies for the travel expenses for bringing messages and things to his second sister. It will accumulate over time, not to mention that it will be of great use. I want to take a car when I go to the city. Still able to pull out the money.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and all the people who work in other places are returning to the village, so it's better not to go out."

"yes."

"It's getting late, I'm going back too."

Xu He put away his hoe. He came for some winter cabbage. Before leaving, he kindly told Zhang Fangyuan: "There are a lot of winter grass at the end of Haitang Bay, which can be cut to feed the horses."

Zhang Fangyuan responded, and after watching Xu He walk away, he happily led the horse back home.

"This horse is really good. Its fur is smooth and black, and its eyes are clear. It will definitely work well after it is raised." Zhang Shicheng looked around the black horse in the yard with his hands behind his back, and the creases in the corners of his eyes could hardly be suppressed: " It seems that the dealers in the cattle and horse dealers did not cheat you with high prices."

Zhang Fangyuan took a sip of cold water: "They don't dare to cheat me when they see me like this."

Zhang Shicheng caressed the horse, reluctant to let go: "I'm just afraid that this foot will not be well maintained, then it will be a problem."

Zhang Fangyuan said: "I have broken a bone before, and I know what a broken bone looks like. This horse is just a wounded flesh. It should be clamped by an iron tool, but it was not clamped too hard. If you take good care of it, it will be fine in two months." Complete."

Now that the ticket was guaranteed, Zhang Shicheng was even happier. None of their Zhang family has any horses, and the cattle of the old family are still transferred to other households, that is, the cattle bought by several families, and one family raises them for a period of time. Nowadays, Zhang Fangyuan bought a horse alone, and there will be more places to use in the future. Although he spent seven or eight thousand yuan at one time, it is better than spending randomly.

Even if you don't need to resell it in the future, you can still sell it at a good price.

This person had been out for more than half a month, and he was afraid that he would collapse again because of talking about his marriage, but he didn't realize it, but because of this incident, he had a fighting spirit, and he brought the horse back after going out for a few days.

In the evening, uncle and nephew peeled some peanuts and drank a glass of wine.

"Tomorrow your uncle's house slaughters a pig, so you can go over and help."

Zhang Fangyuan was drinking, and when he heard his uncle, he couldn't help but put down his wine glass. His uncle is the one with the most contacts in the Zhang family. In his previous life, he also brought things to the door to ask him to recommend him an errand. The village has earned a good reputation for being enthusiastic. They don't care about their own juniors at all, they are cheap but love to take advantage of their relatives.

He used to go to his uncle's house to butcher pigs and he never gave anything. When his father was alive, he often went to help with things, but he didn't get anything good. Later, his father disappeared, and the uncle's family was no longer friendly with their family. I ran into him in the village, and he pretended not to hear when he called for his uncle and auntie.

To be honest, he didn't really want to go: "There must be a lot of pig butchers in the uncle's house, and I don't need to help. If there are not enough people, he will come and call me."

Zhang Shicheng knew that he thought his uncle didn't call him, so he persuaded him: "You haven't been in the village these days, and uncle can't come to call you. At that time, two pigs will be slaughtered, one of which will be sold, and you can do the job quickly , you will help soon."

Zhang Fangyuan sighed. After all, he is a relative and a junior. Sometimes he still has to save face. The main reason is that he doesn't want his fourth uncle to be difficult: "Okay."

Early the next morning, Zhang Fangyuan packed up the pig slaughtering tools and went to his uncle's house.

His uncle Zhang Shixin has three sons, no girls and younger brothers, two older than Zhang Fangyuan, who work as shopkeepers outside, and a cousin who works as a helper in the city. considerable.

Just now when he was on the ridge of his uncle's house, he heard the yard was very lively. There must be more people here today than Xu's pig butcher.

He strode down, his uncle Zhang Shixin and his aunt were greeting people, but his two cousins ​​hadn't come back yet. At present, there are already several women and brothers in the yard helping to fold vegetables, even Xu's wife Liu Xianglan has come.

Zhang Fangyuan wondered if his uncle also wanted to marry the Xu family? Although his cousin Zhang San was two years younger than him, he was already old enough to get married, so he didn't bother to ask about it, but he didn't know if Xu He would come to eat today.

Just as he was thinking, he walked into the courtyard, everyone paused when they looked at him, and the courtyard was silent for a moment.

"Why is he here?"

"When did I return to the village? I thought I was drunk and died outside."

"Uncle Ren's house slaughters pigs, so why not come here?"

"What are you doing here? Butcher will call out for you. And then everyone will come..."

Zhang Fangyuan didn't listen to the whispers, and went forward to say hello to Zhang Shixin: "Uncle."

Zhang Shixin took a look at Zhang Fangyuan, not as good as the warmth of the folks, and responded lightly: "Yes."

I knew that his uncle would not want to see me much, and I was prepared in my heart, but it was just a formality, and I was also a relative when I said it. He said, "Is there anything I need help with?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fangyuan heard a voice from inside the room asking: "Ms. Zhang, where is your firewood? I'll take some to the stove."

Zhang Fangyuan heard the familiar voice, and the woman who was busy coming out of the kitchen was also taken aback when she saw him.

"Why is she here?"

Zhang Fangyuan looked at Guang's mother, his brows tightened, showing signs of getting angry. Zhang Shixin said: "Of course I'm here to help."

"Uncle is busy at home today, so there are not many folks here? She is the only one missing?"

Zhang Shixin scolded: "Fellow folks in the village, what's wrong with someone coming to help? You say that if we can't get married, it won't work if everyone stays away from the Guang family."

Guang's mother then lowered her head, with a troubled expression on her face: "I thought Brother Zhang's family slaughtered a pig today and asked me to help. Brother Fang Yuan let go of the previous unhappiness. I didn't realize that I was still nervous. That's all. , it is inappropriate for me to come here."

As he said that, he was about to walk away with eyes wide open, and the people in the yard quickly grabbed Guang's mother: "Don't miss Guang, let's see what's going on."

"Fang Yuan, why are you still making trouble at your uncle's side, you kid. No one is worried about it, but you are holding grudges."

Everyone helped Guang's mother to speak, Zhang Fangyuan sneered, didn't he just bully him because he would not be hypocritical.

"Uncle Zhai has a kind heart and likes to make friends, which is really admirable." He put down his words: "I'll go."

Zhang Fangyuan strode away, and no one stopped him in the yard, but they all went to comfort Guangmu. Zhang Shicheng, who came a little late at home, bumped into an angry Zhang Fangyuan outside, and knew that he was messing with his uncle again. He wanted to pull Zhang Fangyuan but failed, so he hurried to his elder brother's house.

Just about to ask what happened, the moment he saw Guangmu, he shut his mouth again.

Then he went out to find Zhang Fangyuan again.
