Brother so proud

Adhering to the loyal purpose of being anxious for his wife and children, He Ze didn't delay for a moment, and went straight to Xu Qingsheng's clinic when He Youcai dragged him to the town to buy cattle the next day.

He Ze didn't say directly whether he was a junior, but exchanged pleasantries with Xu Qingsheng, "inadvertently" revealing that Lin Yu was worried about Aunt Lin and hoped that Aunt Lin could find a partner before he got married.

When He Ze said this, Xu Qingsheng was writing the prescription, his hand motions stopped for a moment, and the thick black ink dripped on the white paper, slowly soaking and soaking.

The goal has been achieved, I believe Xu Qingsheng has his own rules in his heart, and He Ze will not say more.After saying goodbye to him, he returned to the bull market to join He Youcai.

The bull market is not far from Xu Qingsheng's clinic.

It is said that a bull market is an empty field surrounded by a small courtyard wall, with many wooden pillars erected in the middle, large and small cattle are tied to the wooden pillars by cattle ropes, and cattle buyers and sellers gather in groups, making a lot of noise. The yelling was mixed with the lowing of a cow from time to time.

Probably because the New Year is approaching, this place is much more lively than usual.

The cow was what Father He and Mrs. Li wanted to buy a long time ago.People in the village rely on the crops in the field for food, housing and flowers. The cattle are very important, and the family has no burden. Naturally, it is better to buy cattle sooner rather than later.

Taking advantage of the fact that the new house was not busy today, He Youcai hurried over early in the morning.

"Where did it go?"

When He Ze approached He Youcai, he was standing in front of a milky-yellow calf, looking at it again and again, while the owner next to him was stroking the back of the cow and talking eloquently.

"Old brother, our calf has just turned three months. Look, how strong is this broad back and hooves! It has been raised in our family for seven or eight years, and it has never been sick. , plowing the fields and pulling carts, and carrying a hundred catties is like playing! Eat less, and don’t pick! You bought this calf and went back, you must have made money!"

"I went to Uncle Xu's clinic. Didn't I tell you about him and Aunt Lin?" When the owner of the cow finished speaking, He Ze said, "Father, don't you want to buy a calf?" Cub go home?"

How much time will it take for a cowboy to be able to plow the land and pull a cart!

"Of course not, isn't dad waiting for you to wander around?" He Youcai took out the pipe at his waist, lit it with a fire pocket and took a puff, and walked towards a row of mature cows near the corner after a few steps .

He Ze heard the words and followed behind him.

"Hey, brother, guest officer, don't go! This calf only needs five taels of silver, no, four taels of silver, do you think it's okay?"

Seeing He Youcai walking away, the cow owner was in a hurry, and quickly shouted a few words, but got no response, and finally had to snort angrily, and then started yelling at other guests.

"Then what did Doctor Xu say?" He Youcai took a puff of smoke, and said again in a flash, "You too, what are you doing in such a hurry, and you didn't mention anything when you went to visit Doctor Xu!"

From He Youcai's point of view, Xu Qingsheng not only healed He Ze's injury, but also healed his own hand.

"Father, why is it so urgent to give gifts at this moment? Besides, Uncle Xu may be his family in the future, why are you so polite?"

"As for what he means," He Ze paused, "I don't know for certain, but this matter cannot be forced. They themselves don't want to understand it, and we can only go to this point."

The father and son chatted while walking, He Youcai walked around, and then stopped in front of a strong scalper, He Ze looked at the scalper, "This one is not bad, very healthy."

His eyes can still see the general physical condition of a person or animal.

Hearing He Ze's words, the cattle dealer next to them immediately walked up to the two of them.I have to say that a professional is a professional, and the words are better than the farmers who sold their own cattle before.

But it's really a good cow.

"Well, not bad." After touching the belly of the cow twice, He Youcai also nodded.

After negotiating the price and paying the deposit, the two went to the noodle stall to eat a bowl of noodles.He Youcai wanted to lead the cow back to the village, but He Ze took him to the car dealership.

"Since we're here, I bought the car by the way. It will be much more convenient to come to the town and transport the medicinal materials."

He Youcai felt the same way, when the two of them finished buying the car, it was past time, and the slightly white sunlight slowly tilted the angle with a touch of warmth.After picking out ten earthen pots for flower planting, He Ze went home with He Youcai.

He Ze was driving in the front, and He Youcai was sitting in the back, touching the painted brown fence from time to time.Their family had cattle before, but they were not willing to buy a car, but now looking at the wooden car under the seat, He Youcai felt relieved.

With an ox cart, he can be regarded as a wealthy household in the village!

As he got closer to the village, he met more and more villagers. When he met a He Youcai, he had to say hello to him.

"Hey, this is another bullock cart? You are rich and lucky!"

"Blessed, everyone is blessed, haha!"

Hearing Father He's more and more hearty laughter, He Ze smiled lightly and shook his head, but the driving speed unconsciously slowed down.

When the two arrived home, only He An was there, "Ah Mu went to take care of the new yard."

After eating some warm food prepared by Mrs. Li, He Youcai chopped firewood, and He Ze went to the new house to do some work. As dusk fell, the day passed quickly.

With the rising and setting of the sun, the end of the new year came as expected by the villagers.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the sun was shining brightly.

Most of the whole Hejia Village is shrouded in red shadows, red peach charms, red lanterns, red paper-cutting... The laughter of children and the occasional sound of firecrackers completely broke the tranquility of this small village. , The villagers who came and went also put smiles on their faces.

In the He family, He Ze stepped on the stool at the door of the main room and brushed the paste. He An, who was next to him, handed him the peach charm in his hand, took the paste and retreated to a distance.

"Brother! Slow down, crooked, left, a little to the left... no, right, a little to the right, crooked again! Brother, left..."

"Whether it's left or right, make it clear!"

He Ze lost his patience and pretended to get off the stool.

"Hey! Wait, don't move! Yes, don't move! Just this position, brother, post it, it's right!"

"It's really right, let's post it!" He An let out a long sigh of relief.

Brother is so stupid, he is easy!

After the peach charms were pasted, the two brothers began to clean and wipe room by room.He Youcai helped Li Shi with work in the kitchen, and the smell of stewed meat wafted into the air, making people salivate unconsciously.

He An's Adam's apple, who was cleaning the table, moved.

"Are you so hungry?" He Ze said angrily, "Hurry up and finish the work before the sun goes down. Also, don't forget what you promised me!"

"Brother, how are you doing? I only met Brother Lin two days ago, what day is it today! What if my father and mother find out..."

"Shut up, it's okay if you don't help, just return those firecrackers you lit!"

Two days ago, when he and E'Mu went to the town to buy new year's goods, he bought a lot of firecrackers on a whim, but He An played with them until there were only two left!two!

"Help, definitely help," He An glanced at He Ze, accusing sadly, "Just a few firecrackers, brother, you are stingy!"

"Xiao An, brother prepared another copy for you?" As a result, he also played the other copy until there were only two left!He Ze squinted his eyes, with a smile on his face, "By the way, Aunt Wang came to the door again a few days ago, saying that she has a marriage match for you. The man is from the town. It seems that E-Mu hasn't answered yet. , or brother, help you talk about it?"

"Brother!"

He An gritted his teeth, just wait!

When you get married, Brother Lin must help me avenge him!

The two brothers were arguing, and a lot of dishes had already been cooked in the kitchen. There was a bowl full of chicken and fish, and other meat dishes were also delicious.There are too many things that happened in their family this year, and now the hardships are coming, the old and the new are welcome, and today is the New Year's Eve, how can we not be reluctant to eat!

At the dinner table, there was a lot of fun, and He Youcai opened a jar of good wine, and the whole family, including He An, had a few drinks.After the meal, He Ze and He An knelt down in front of the two elders to give them New Year greetings. He Ze received the New Year's silver again after many years.

There is not much money, one tael, wrapped in red cloth several layers, with some rice grains in the middle.

He Ze's nose was sour, he was a little at a loss, "Father, I'm already this old..."

"How big is it! No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of me and your mother!" He Youcai stroked his thick beard, with a big smile on his face, "You will get married next year, no, this year, this year This is the last time I will prepare the New Year's money for you, it is my and your mother's wish, keep it well!"

"In a month's time, it will be your nineteenth birthday. It's still the same sentence, take up the responsibility of your man, so Dad can rest assured!"

"Yes, Dad."

"Father, what about me! I will respect and love my elder brother, and be filial to you and Ah Mu!" He An showed his big white teeth, and kowtowed to the two elders again.

Under the dizzy yellow oil lamp, the childishness between his eyebrows has dissipated at some point, his appearance similar to that of He Ze has the delicacy of his elder brother, the stretched eyebrows are as light as chrysanthemums, and when he smiles, they are as bright as the morning sun.

"Okay, okay! Get up, both of you!"

He An's words made He Youcai and Li Shi laugh, and the two were lifted up one after another, and the family sat together talking and laughing. It was not until the moon was in the sky that Li Shi yawned impatiently.

He Ze glanced at He An, and the two immediately coaxed He Youcai and Li Shi back to the bedroom.

"Go to sleep too, I'll be back later."

After explaining to He An, He Ze glanced at the moonlight. At this time, it should not be past twelve o'clock, right?In ancient times, there were no clocks and watches, and all perceptions of time were rough and approximate, which made him a little unaccustomed.

"Brother, you are too impatient!" He An's eyes were full of interest, and then he laughed, "Be careful, don't let Aunt Lin catch you!"

"Crow's Mouth!"

After glaring at him, He Ze turned around and went into his bedroom, and stuffed the two firecrackers that He An had managed to leave behind into his arms.

Fortunately, the winter clothes are large enough.

"Go to bed early, I have to go back to Li's Village with E-Mum tomorrow."

After leaving the house, He Ze closed the courtyard door smoothly.There was a bright moon outside, and taking advantage of the moonlight, he walked directly to the Lin family from the ridge of the field.

This is faster.

On the first new year here, he wanted to meet Lin Yu.Inexplicably, I really want to.

About half an hour later, He Ze stopped outside the wall of the Lin family courtyard.Just as he was about to knock on the door, he stopped suddenly. He An's words reminded him—what if it was Aunt Lin who opened the door?

Not only will people not be able to see it, but they will definitely have to be trained!

He Ze frowned, turned around several times, and finally settled on the high wall. At this height...he moved a few stones from the side of the road.

Climb the wall!
