Depressed little landlord

I don't know if it's because of the festival, or the days in winter go by so fast?Anyway, Lin Xuan, Lin Xun and the others felt that it was just a flash, and the night came again.

When the housekeeper Hua came to call for someone, Xu Yang was taking Xiang Qing and Lin Xun to paste the blessing characters. The characters were written by Xu Yang. The original name was Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan thought that the brush characters were worse than dogs crawling. Do nothing.

Xiang Qing also said that it was okay for him to keep the numbers, but the big characters were fine.

Douding was very interested, but it was a pity that he hadn't learned the word "Fu", so when Xu Yang had no choice but to do it himself, he stood beside him with great interest and concentrated on watching, and told Lin Xuan and the others very seriously that he would wait until he learned it. , next time he will write.

The three adults laughed heartily and praised him one after another. Douding nodded his head and patted his chest to assure him.

"Xun'er write, don't buy!"

These words are mainly aimed at the sentence "It's so troublesome, just ask someone to write it or go to the town to buy a picture" that Xiang Qing said at the beginning, but it was all denied by Lin Xuan and Xu Yang at the time, because there was too little time to say it, and it was okay to go. Maybe there is still writing, so they didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect him to remember it all at once.

Lin Xuan understood it as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help feeling relieved, moved and a little funny.

"Okay~ The elder brother will wait for us Xun'er, and I will hand over all the big characters that need to be written at home next year to you."

Douding smiled and bent his eyebrows, nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

Xu Yang also smiled and motioned to him: "Come on, I'll teach you how to write first, and then Xun'er will practice on his own."

Douding laughed even happier now, and ran up to Xu Yang, Xiang Qing thoughtfully brought a stool for him to kneel on, Xu Yang held his hand and wrote a word, and then placed Zhang Xiaochang Bench, let him practice there by himself.

Lin Xun really likes reading and literacy. Every time he practiced this, he was very attentive and serious. Lin Xuan helped him with a few sheets of paper, and he quickly moved out the pen and ink he usually used for practice, and concentrated on it. After practicing, he didn't stop until Xu Yang said that it was time to paste the words. He diligently helped hold the paper, running around like a little bee behind a few people, busy.

Before dinner, Lin Xuan took Lin Xun with him as usual, and this time Xu Yang put two freshly cooked whole chickens, a whole piece of pork belly, and a plate of small pastries made by Mrs. A bowl of meatballs and two pairs of rice dumplings.

There are not many things, but once they are laid out, almost a table is filled.

Butler Hua stood by and helped them burn incense. Lin Xuan, Lin Xun, and Xu Yang lined up and bowed respectfully together for a few times, while Xiang Qing outside the door quickly lit the firecrackers.

The sound of "cracking" woke up the quiet countryside, but Douding couldn't help it at the first sound, Xu Yang quickly took the incense in his hand, and Douding showed him a big smile Smiling and seeing that Lin Xuan did not refuse, he ran out in a hurry.

Butler Hua was worried about him, so he followed closely behind, leaving Lin Xuan and Xu Yang behind, and they could do it by themselves anyway.

Lin Xuan heard the commotion outside, but just looked back, mainly because he was worried that Lin Xun would feel relieved when he saw the flower steward following him, and looked back at the incense burner on the table of the eight immortals in front of him. Pass.

"Father and mother, it's been a year. I didn't expect time to pass so fast. We are all doing well now. I hope you are doing the same over there." Although I am not your real son, I will always keep what I said before , will always raise Lin Xun to adulthood.

Then he turned his head to look at Xu Yang beside him, and then turned back and continued: "This is Xu Yang, parents should rest assured, right? He and I will get married after the Chinese New Year. I hope you two old people will not be disappointed and bless us." He Xun'er, and everyone, continue to be healthy and safe in the coming year."

After saying that, he bowed three more times, and Xu Yang followed immediately: "Master, Madam, Xu Yang has gone too far, but I am sincere to Xiaoxuan, please feel free to hand them over to me, in the future he and Xun'er and I I will protect them with everything I have, and will never let them be wronged, I hope you can bless them safe and happy!"

Then it was three obeisances, and then took the incense from Lin Xuan who was a little stunned and inserted it into the incense burner.

"Come on, let's go out and have a look."

After doing this, he hugged him and walked out the door with a smile. Lin Xuan came outside with a smirk all the time. The firecrackers were all set off now, but Xiang Qing and the others didn't go back to the house immediately, so they stood there.

Although you can’t see the homes of other villagers here, the nearest one is Zhuzi. When Lin Xuan and Xu Yang came out, Zhuzi just ran out sweating profusely, and saw many people from the Lin family standing in the yard below. It seems that he is busy smiling and saying hello.

Because we planted some land with Lin Xuan and the others in the second half of the year, and this year the family has a little leftover. He and his mother are very happy. Not all the capons in the family have been sold, so today it is rare to kill a chicken and buy a few. Little hanging firecrackers, when he heard the movement of the neighbor below, Grandma Li urged him to come out and light it too.

Afterwards, it was like a race, and every household was lit up, which immediately aroused the laughter of the children, as well as the remaining animal sounds of some people, um, especially the ones of the Lin family - coo, quack, oh um. Play in unison.

After the sound of firecrackers subsided, every family in the village began to sit around a table, and began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner lively and happily.

It may be so rich that almost the whole table is full of meat dishes, or there is only one more meat dish and a bowl of rice, but no matter what, everyone's mood at this moment is the same.

Looking forward to the coming year even more.

***

Here in the main room, there is still a chicken, cakes and dumplings on the table of the Eight Immortals, cigarettes are curling up, and the lights are on and off, and a unique fragrance lingers in the nostrils, but everyone doesn't pay attention to this.

This time there were two more people, unlike Xiaonian when there were only two brothers from the Lin family, and Steward Hua was not here this time, Lin Xuan and the others reluctantly let him go after calling a few times.

The table was not full for the three adults, even the smallest one, but the atmosphere was good. There was still a brazier burning under the table. There was an empty seat on Xu Yang's right, so another small square table was set up, with a brazier on it and a small mouthpiece on it. The pot, the chicken soup inside was still rolling slowly.

If you think the dish is cold, you can put it down and blanch it. Anyway, it is just to prevent this, so it is almost cooked for nothing. Fortunately, the sauce made by Xu's mother is very delicious, and it is also delicious when dipped.

Lin Xuan also specially opened a jar of wine, and kept it with them, and let the flower housekeeper take the other half to everyone, so that everyone can have a good time during the Chinese New Year.

With the brazier, everyone is not in a hurry to eat. They eat slowly while chatting and drinking some wine. There are only three of them, and the interest is quite high.

Douding knew that his brothers were drinking wine, so he didn't bother to drink, so he just concentrated on eating and eating chicken legs.Mother Xu's chicken leg was very big, and Xiang Qing took it for him as soon as he sat down. After thanking him, he sat there and gnawed it until his face was oily.

Xiang Qing took a sip of the wine, and while picking up the vegetables, he also passed the bean curd clip beside him, and then found that there was no place to put it - the bowl was already sticking out, and if he put it in again, he would have to fall outside.

But Douding had only gnawed half of it, holding the chicken leg in both hands, looking at him, still chewing hard in his mouth.

Xiang Qing was a little embarrassed: "Ah, I made a mistake, I should have picked up the other ones for you first, will this still be edible?"

Douding looked at the chicken leg in his hand, then at the bowl, hesitated and shook his head.

Lin Xuan was funny, and he and Xu Yang realized it at this time, "It's okay, eat as much as you want, as long as your stomach is full, if you can't finish eating, you can eat tomorrow."

Xu Yang scooped up some chicken soup from an empty bowl and put it aside to cool, "If Xun'er feels full, just tell me to drink some soup later, otherwise I will feel sick to my stomach later."

"Yeah." Lin Xun finally swallowed the meat in his mouth, nodded and agreed, "Brothers eat too."

The chicken has been free-range for nearly a year, and the meat is a bit tough. Fortunately, Douding eats more carefully and chews slowly, so Lin Xuan and the others are quite relieved. Seeing him like this, they started to use their chopsticks again, but this time they all stayed I am now paying attention to Douding.

After eating halfway, Xiang Qing left his seat suddenly, and came back after a while, but with a bag in his hand, he put it on the table in the middle of Xuyang Linxuan as soon as he came back.

"what?"

Xiang Qing drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp, and said, "Silver."

Xu Yang raised his eyebrows, Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, he put down his chopsticks and untied the cloth bag, revealing the glistening silver ingots inside.

Four identical silver ingots, neatly arranged, almost did not dazzle Hua Linxuan's eyes, even Douding forgot to eat the chicken leg, and his small mouth was in the shape of an "O". He had seen silver before and knew what it looked like, but it was only a small piece.

Lin Xuan's hands trembled a little, he picked up a tablet of swallowing saliva and looked at the bottom, and the bright cross at the bottom came into view.

No wonder he didn't live up to expectations, he acted as if he had never seen big money, and he was not the original body, this was indeed the first time he had seen such a 50 taels of silver!

Xu Yang cast a sideways glance at Qing: "You're not too heavy either!"

"Hey!" Xiang Qing laughed, raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "You don't understand that, do you? This makes it look precious, Xiaoxuan, don't you?"

"Well, it's pretty heavy."

Xu Yang once again disliked interjecting, Xiang Qing pretended not to hear it, and looked at Lin Xuan earnestly, "This is for you this month, if I knew it, I should have told you earlier, otherwise it would be more than that."

"Hey!" Lin Xuan also laughed silly twice, and wrapped up the money again, so that his rationality returned to the furnace, "It's okay, the days are still long, and the money can never be earned. When the materials are complete, in the future, as long as we are willing, We can open our restaurants all over the Xia Kingdom, so that everyone in the Xia Kingdom can taste our food!"

"Okay!" Xiang Qing clapped his hands, his eyes lit up, and he applauded loudly, and said passionately: "Xiaoxuan said it very well, I agree with it."

As he spoke, he poured the wine and raised it to respect Lin Xuan: "Come on, I respect you with this glass. As long as you believe in me, brother, you will definitely fulfill this great wish in the future!"

Lin Xuan was also very excited, and raised his glass: "Okay, then let us work hard together, cheers!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

"Hey? Xu Yang, what are you doing in a daze? Take the cup, take the cup, how could you be missing? Come on, let's have another drink!"

"Yep!"

Under the flickering oil lamp, the faces of both of them were a little red, whether it was because of the wine or anger, their eyes were quite clear, but those who looked at Xu Yang were accused.

Xu Yang shook his head secretly, full of helplessness in his heart, he just took care of Lin Xun to drink soup, and let the two of them drink too much if he didn't notice for a while, and they were still guys who couldn't drink very much.

But he didn't refute, he drank obediently, put down the glass and began to persuade: "It's almost time to eat, let's all go back and rest, how about continuing tomorrow when we get up?"

"No."

The two shook their heads at the same time.

He just knew it.Xu Yang had expected it a long time ago, so his expression remained the same, so he asked Douding to go to the housekeeper to wash their hands and face. There were lanterns hanging under the eaves, so the road was not too dark, so he felt relieved to go on his own.

Looking back at the two people who were still drinking one glass after another, Xu Yang had a slight headache and hid the wine jar while people were not paying attention.

In the end, Steward Hua, who came to see him with worry, helped Xiang Qing to his room and told him to lie down. He didn't care whether he was drunk or not, and arranged for someone to sleep here and take care of him in the middle of the night.

As for Lin Xuan, Xu Yang was naturally in charge, while Douding was coaxed to sleep with Steward Hua. The reason was naturally that Lin Xuan was too drunk to take care of the two of them. Douding obediently and thoughtfully agreed.

After everyone had left, Lin Xuan still unconsciously said "Xiang Qing, have another drink" and "Xiang Qing, cheers", Xu Yang cleaned up the food on the table before coming to deal with him.

Fortunately, people are quite quiet after drinking too much, which makes people worry a lot. I don't want to hear him call other men's names unconsciously again. Xu Yang picked up Teng Kong with a sullen face, and strode towards the room go.

It's time to do the math.

The author has something to say: Yinzi: Did you forget something?

Xuan: Yes, my money!

Yang: Don’t worry, I don’t have feet anyway, so I can’t run

Xuan: No, if you lose it, you will have nothing to eat

Yang: I can eat what I have.
