Little wealth

"Let's go back first." After eating, Chen Tuhu was ready to go home.Seeing that his father was about to leave, Chen Yan didn't stay in Zhao's house any longer, and stood up accordingly.

As soon as he came out of the kitchen, he heard people say he was going to leave, Zhao Amu asked: "Aren't you going to sit down for a while?"

"Well, I won't sit down. There are still pigs at home. I have to go back to feed the pigs. I will drive them back to the pigsty in a while." The pigs in their family are outside the bamboo forest during the day, and they have to go back to the pigsty to sleep at night , there is still a lot of work to do when we go back, so Chen Tuhu doesn't plan to stay with the Zhao family any longer, so he turns around and asks his brother, "Brother, why don't you play here for a while?"

Chen Yan shook his head and said, "I'll go back with you, Dad."

"Then you all go back first, and come back later when you have time." Zhao Amu also knew that the Chen family raised a lot of pigs, and knew that they still had to feed the pigs and have a lot of work to do when they went back, so he said The father and son did not stay any longer.

The last time he took his son and the matchmaker to Chen's house to find a job, he saw a circle of pigs lying outside the bamboo grove, and realized that the Chen family raised so many pigs, which shocked him.Ordinary households raise three or two pigs at most, and not everyone dares to raise pigs. If one dies of illness, a year's hard work will be wasted.

But he saw that the Chen family dared to raise so many pigs at one go, there must be a way to raise pigs, and if they could raise so many pigs, they would be able to earn a lot of money in a year.

At first, he knew that the Chen family should have some family background, but later he realized that the Chen family's family background was even richer than he thought.Of course, he didn't want to be greedy for the Chen family's things, but if the Chen family has some wealth and things, the butcher Chen can help the two children in the future, which is a good thing in the end, and it's better than subsidizing both children. and strong care.

Seeing that the father and son wanted to go back, Zhao Amu remembered that there was something to give them, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, wait a minute."

Josh was still packing things in the kitchen, and when his mother came in and said that Chen Yan and they were leaving, he hurriedly took out a basket to pack fruits and mooncakes in, put a lid on it, and then took it out to his mother. "Em, please take it to them."

"Okay." Zhao Amu took the basket and strode outside, stuffing the basket into Brother Chen's hand, "Take this back and eat."

"Why are you giving me so many things? My brother, hurry up, and I'll return it to you, Aunt Zhao." They came to Zhao's house all day long to eat and take. Even a thick-skinned person like Chen Butcher felt a little embarrassed. Busy let my brother go back.

Hearing his father's words, Chen Yan wanted to return the basket.

As soon as Zhao Amu heard this, she glared at the man, pushed Brother Chen's hand back, and said: "You guys sent so much meat today, there is still uncooked meat in the kitchen, I am Didn't I want you to bring it back?"

"What are you talking about. Brother Chen, don't listen to your father, take it home quickly, you can eat it when you are hungry at night. Someone sent it at home today, and we still have a lot of fruit snacks at home. Wait It's getting dark later, if you want to come, come here, if you don't come, stay at home, and come back tomorrow morning."

So Chen Tuhu couldn't shirk it, so he had to let his brother continue, and replied: "We won't come here when it gets dark, we can come back tomorrow."

"Okay, it's okay." Knowing that it was dark and the road was difficult to walk, Zhao Amu didn't have to force the father and son to go to their house to worship the moon, so she sent someone out to the door, and said a few words before leaving. In a few days, the two children got married.

Seeing the father and son walking away, Zhao Amu took the little grandson who ran to the door back.

By the time they cleaned up the yard inside and out, it was almost dark outside.

A group of chickens and ducks came back from the outside, and the family donkey followed the chickens and ducks back home, and it knew it had returned to its donkey shed without being chased by anyone.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, melons and fruits will be placed to worship the moon. Josh is putting melons and fruit mooncakes on the table. Their son is like a puppy who smells meat, circling around the table, pointing at the things on the table and shouting Want to eat, as if it wasn't this little boy who ate such a big bowl of rice and meat for dinner, he couldn't eat enough all day long.

"Why can't you eat enough all day long? Are you not full for dinner?"

"Want to."

"..."

Seeing the washed grapes on the table, these grapes were sent by Bai Luoxi today, each one was plump and looked very pleasing, so Jo Xu reached out and picked one.

"Ah~"

Seeing him holding something delicious to send, the boy opened his mouth and ate the grapes.

"Is it delicious?" Josh asked as he pinched a grape and put it into his mouth. The juice sprayed out as soon as he bit it down. The grape was juicy and sweet. He nodded involuntarily and said, " Hmm, delicious."

"Yes!" The little baby swallowed what was in his mouth, and climbed on the table to eat again.

"It's the last one. The moon hasn't come out yet, so we can't eat it first." With that said, Josh pinched a grape and put it into his son's little mouth.Before the child swallowed the grapes, he hurriedly carried him away, "Let's go take a bath first, and the moon will come out after the bath, let's eat later."

"Yeah~"

"What are you doing?... Raise your hand, take off your clothes and take a shower."

Someone in the room has already moved the bathtub and brought hot water in, so he only needs to be responsible for stripping the brat naked and putting it in the bathtub.The clothes hanging out have been collected by someone, and they have been folded one by one and placed on the bed.

Probably because he was afraid that he would not be able to find it after putting it in the box, the man who helped him collect the clothes did not put the clothes in the box.

Looking at these neatly folded clothes, Josh's mouth curled into a smile. He didn't bother to rummage through the clothes in the box, so he found out the clothes that the child would wear soon from the folded clothes, and put them in the box. As soon as the sleeves were rolled up, he went to rub the little boy sitting in the basin soaking in water.

"Don't don't~"

"Don't run, get up when you're done washing!"

The little boy in the bathtub ran to the other side of the basin as soon as he came back, but it's a pity that the bathtub is so big, no matter how far this little boy ran, he stretched out his hand to catch it back.During this period of time, I have raised a little boy with a whole body of tender meat, and the feeling of rubbing it is not very good.

Just as the child was screaming, Josh grabbed the child and rubbed it for a while. After rubbing it clean, he picked it up, wrapped it in a dry cloth and put it on the bed to stand up and get dressed.

"Just wear pants, why are you running! You ran with your bare butt!" The pants were only half worn, and the brat with his bare butt wanted to crawl away, but he grabbed one leg and dragged him back. What's more, this little brat laughs at him every day when he takes a bath.

When they went to take a bath one by one, the sky outside was completely dark.

***

The moon rose slowly from the mountain in the east, hanging in the sky like a big disc, big and round, and the bright white moonlight shone on the whole small village.

At this time, many families in the village put melons and fruit cakes in the yard to worship the moon. The happiest thing on this day is the children. This year has a good harvest. Many families have prepared a sumptuous dinner on this day. People can have a full meal.

The table in their house was laid out early, and the table was filled with various fruit snacks.

Last time, there were a few lanterns that were sold out on Qixi Festival, so Josh went to find them. Among them was the biggest lantern, which was a gift given to him by his master Zhao when he came back that night, and he took good care of it. Stored at home, it just happens to come in handy today.

A row of lanterns was hung in the yard, and when all the lanterns were lit, the small courtyard of their house was instantly illuminated.

"Wa hahaha……"

Seeing such a row of lanterns, the happiest thing is their son, running around under the lanterns, screaming non-stop, pointing to the largest lantern and shouting: "Da... Da... Da... "

Listening to the children's laughter, the adults all smiled.

"This boy, look at him happy." Zhao Amu lit three sticks of incense and bowed to the moon, said some auspicious words, and inserted the three sticks of incense into the pomelo on the table.

Several adults sat down around the table and talked for a while. The children were running around them. Josh stopped the children who had run more than a dozen times, and gave the children some water to drink.Seeing that the child wanted to eat something on the table, he peeled an orange, gave two pieces to the child, and shared the rest with everyone.

"Well, this orange is really sweet." Zhao Amu ate a piece of orange, and the orange juice in his mouth was sweet and sweet. half for the son.

"Yeah, this grape is also very sweet, eat it if you like it, there are still some in it." Josh said to let everyone eat something.

But everyone is full for dinner, so they don't have such a big stomach to hold so much food at the moment.

Before the three sticks of incense on the table had burned to the end, the eyelids of the child in his arms were fighting, and there was still a grape in his mouth that hadn't been swallowed.

"A Nian, are you asleep? You still have something in your mouth, spit it out for me." Josh looked down at his son whose eyes were almost closed in his arms, and saw that his cheeks were still bulging , I knew there was food hidden in it.

"Hmm~"

It's just that he was about to fall asleep, and this little boy refused to spit out the contents of his mouth to him, his mouth was still tightly closed, and he wanted to hide his face, which really made people laugh and cry.In the end, he exchanged a piece of candy for the kid, and he successfully swapped the grape out of the kid's mouth.

After a while, the little boy fell asleep in his arms.

Seeing that the wind was a little strong outside, Josh was about to take the child back to sleep in the house, "Mum, sit down for a while, I will carry him back to sleep in the house."

"Give it to me, I'll hug it." Before he could hold the child and occupy it, a hand stretched out beside him and took the sleeping son over.

Josh had no choice but to follow behind with a lamp, illuminating the road ahead, and went back to the house. He saw the man gently put the child on the bed to sleep, and covered the child with a small quilt.The little guy is asleep when he falls asleep, and he won't wake up even if he is carried around by others, just like a little piglet.

A candle lamp was left in the room, and the child was put to sleep in the room, and the two left the room one after the other.

The incense on the table burned to the end, and the moon in the sky rose a little.

Seeing that the little grandson was sleeping, Zhao Amu prepared to accompany the little son back to live in the old house, and said to the son and daughter-in-law: "I think I will go back to live with Xiaohu tonight, Xiaohu is alone there. , and I have a companion with him."

A while ago, several master carpenters lived in their old house, so he moved in with his son and daughter-in-law.Now that several master carpenters have moved to live in the town, Zhao Amu wants to move back to live with her youngest son. She always feels that they all live here, and only the youngest son lives there alone. Lonely, he wanted to accompany his youngest son.

"No need, Ah Mu, I'll just go back by myself." Zhao Hu said.

"Yeah, why don't you stay with us, Mu, so as not to have to move around." Josh also persuaded.

But in the end, their mother still insisted on going back to live in the old house with the uncle, so they had no choice but to send someone out to the door, and when they saw the departing person walking away with a lantern, they went back to clean up the things on the table Get up, put it in the basket, close the lid tightly, and hang it on a high place, so that no mice will steal it at night.

The bright white moonlight shone in the small courtyard, and the bugs outside seemed to have gone to nowhere, and the entire small courtyard was quiet.

After losing one person in the family, the relationship between the two seems to become more comfortable.

Ah Huang stayed outside to watch the house at night, and they went back to the house.

The oil lamp on the table was still on, and the child on the bed was sleeping soundly on his side on the small pillow.

Turning around, he bumped into a man who was standing behind him at some point. Josh was almost startled, staring at the man and asked, "What are you doing standing so close to me?" Was it to scare him or Want to plot something wrong?He thinks the latter is more likely.

"Here you are." Zhao He took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Fu Lang.

"What is it?" Asked, Josh reached out to take the small cloth bag, opened it, and saw a simple silver hairpin inside. He looked at the man who gave him the gift and smiled. Laughing, he asked, "Why did you think of giving me this thing?"

"Tell me honestly, where did you get the money for the hairpin?" How could he not know that this man secretly hid money from his house?

Faced with Fu Lang's pressing questions, Zhao He smiled a little, and replied honestly, "You gave it to me."

"Oh." Josh remembered that he would give this man pocket money every month, and the money for grocery shopping would be given separately. How dare this man take the money and never use it, and collect it all as private money?

"Since you have money in your pocket, how can you still take the money I gave you?"

"You have to give."

The eyes of the two met, and Josh couldn't help laughing, and admitted: "Well, I will give it to you." He remembered that he usually gave this man pocket money, and the man said he still had money, but He thought this man had lied to him, but he didn't expect that he really had one, and he could save enough to buy him a hairpin.

"Don't buy these things for me next time, I don't need them very much, so it's a waste of money, isn't it?" He rarely touched many wooden hairpins.

But since the man gave it away, he wouldn't just return it, and put it in the box solemnly.

"Let's..." Go to bed.

As soon as he turned around, his mouth was blocked by soft lips, and the words behind were blocked in his throat by the man.Josh stared at the magnified face in front of him, and the hand on the man's chest was changed to climb on the man's neck, and the two bodies were pressed together.

The dog guarding the door walked a few steps away, lying on the ground in the yard, looking up at the moon in the sky...
