Little wealth

The village didn't feel lively. When their car entered the town gate and saw a street full of people, Josh felt the excitement of the Lantern Festival. If you step into another world, "Wow, there are so many people here!"

"Well, there have been more people in the past few days." There are too many people on the street, fearing that the donkey will hit people, Zhao He got out of the cart and led the donkey, and turned to Fu Lang who was still sitting in the carriage, "You sit on it." Don't come down, I'll take you to the oil shop."

Today is the Lantern Festival. Lanterns are hung everywhere on the street. Small stalls selling all kinds of things have already been set up on the side of the road. At a glance, the aisle in the middle is full of people. Their cars Stuck in the road and unable to move an inch.

Seeing that the car couldn't get through, Josh poked his head out to take a look outside, and said to the man leading the donkey, "Why don't we get down and walk, lest you send us there and have to turn around, we will get there by walking a few steps."

"It's better to get down at the entrance of the alley in front." The alley in front is their shop. Zhao He stopped the donkey at the entrance of the alley, supported Fulang's hand, let Fulang get out of the car, and stretched out his hand to pick up the child. He hugged them down, and helped the children who came down behind and E'Mu, who got down last, to get off the car.

"The lanterns haven't been moved to the oil store yet, why don't we move them with you?" Josh asked.

"No, I'll just go and get it." Just as they were standing at the entrance of this alley, there was no one there, Zhao He turned his head and saw that the street outside was full of people, and said not too relieved: "Why don't you wait here I'll come out after I go and get my things?"

"Forget it, let's go in together." Josh took a look that the way in was not very long, so he took the child and their mother together, and followed the donkey cart to the shop.

Everyone took the things to the donkey cart, Zhao He turned the donkey around, pulled the things and sent his husband and son to the oil shop, put the things down, and then led the donkey back to the backyard of the furniture shop Here, go back to Fulang and the children.

At this time, the barbecue shop had just opened, and the barbecue grill was pushed out of the door, and there were already people coming to buy things.

"There is a basket here, you can put what you want to eat on the basket first, and we will grill the first ones in order later." Chen Yan put the skewered skewers on the rack, and handed over the basket to the guests to choose something.

Caiyun and Caixia carried the big pot out of the door, lit the firewood underneath, and poured oil into the pot to prepare chicken nuggets.

Although the people in their store came later, everyone packed up their things in an orderly manner. Everyone knew what they should do and what to do, so they would not be in a hurry.

Seeing that the rest of the people were packing up their things, Zhao Hu glanced at the opposite shop before the stove was lit, said something to Fu Lang, then left the shop, crossed the street, and went to the opposite side to ask , "Brother Ah Mu, what's going on here, do you want us to help?"

"No, no, it's almost done here, just hang the lanterns outside here. How is your shop over there? Have you packed everything?" Josh took two The boy hangs lanterns at the entrance of the store, and hangs the lanterns around the stalls, so that it is convenient for people to buy things and choose.

There is also a table at the oil stall, and they put some small things on the table.

Zhao Amu was packing things inside, while looking at the little grandson sitting on the stool.

Ah Nian sat on a high stool and assumed the responsibility of guarding the shop, with a serious face on her face.

"It's almost there. I'm lighting charcoal. I'll come over and have a look." Through the crowd, he could still see the door of the shop opposite them. Zhao Hu saw someone standing at the door of their shop, so he was ready to go back.

"Brother, you are here, I was busy over there."

"Well, let's go."

Just when he was leaving, he ran into his elder brother, and the two of them said hello before Zhao Hu went to the opposite shop.

Seeing the uncle left, their master Zhao came. The two looked at each other, and Josh came over with a pot of hot water that had just boiled. He poured the hot water into the teapot and poured a few cups. The hot water came out, "Who do you want to drink water? If you want to drink water, come and get it yourself. The water is a bit hot just after boiling, so be careful not to burn it."

As he spoke, he handed them a glass of water, "Mum, drink water."

"Hey." Zhao Amu took the water and hugged it in her hands, feeling the warmth, said: "It's so cold outside. "

Although the beginning of spring has passed, the first month of the lunar year has not yet come out of winter, and the weather is still very cold, especially in the afternoon when the sun sets, you can clearly feel the wind outside, and it will be colder at night .

On weekdays, they were all at home, and they hid in the house to sleep when it got dark. They almost never went out to blow the cold wind outside without sleeping in the middle of the night. It was only today after the Lantern Festival that their family came to town.

"Yeah, it's quite cold. Eminem, drink more hot water to warm your body." Josh handed another glass of water to the man standing in front of the stall looking at the shop, and said, "Let's go back early at night, Mrs. If it's late, I'm afraid it will be too cold."

"Well, good." Zhao He took the cup, lowered his head and blew, tried it, shook his head to his son who was holding his hand to drink water, and said, "It's still a little hot, drink it later."

"Do you guys want to drink water? I poured it here, and you can drink it later." The four boys were all in the shop here, and Josh poured a few glasses of water on the table, letting a few If a kid wants to drink, go and get it by himself.

Seeing so many people outside, thinking about the encounter with human traffickers on Qixi Festival last time, he was afraid that he would sneak out to play alone in a few hours, so he confessed: "There are many people outside today, don't go out alone to know Do you want to tell us where you want to go, don’t go alone secretly, call your brothers and brothers to go together.”

Several boys nodded one after another.

"Well, remember that no matter what you do in the future, don't go alone, you should go with two or three companions. In case of any danger, you can ask someone to come back and ask an adult to help you, understand?" Josh reached out and touched the head of the child standing next to him, and taught the children how to deal with danger.He knew that these children usually lived in the town and had to go outside to play. They either forbade the children to go out, or they were afraid that the children would encounter some danger outside and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Master, Madam, don't worry, I will watch over the juniors and the others." Boy Chun looked at the junior juniors following behind him.It is true that they live in the town on weekdays. After the master returned in the afternoon, they often sneaked out through the back door to play outside, but even if they went out to play, they would return to their place of residence before dark.

"Well, you are a good brother. You have to take good care of your younger brothers when we are not around." After seeing the children nodding, Josh took out his purse from his arms and distributed the pre-stretched money to the children. , "Come on, each person has a bunch, take it for a while and go outside to buy something to eat."

"Ma'am, we still have money." During the Chinese New Year, they all had lucky money, but they didn't spend it, and kept it in their pockets.

Seeing that the master wanted to give them money, the four boys didn't dare to take it, so they turned to look at their master.

"Take what Master Mistress gave you." Seeing a few boys looking at him, Zhao He said.

Hearing their master said he was holding it, the boys dared to reach out to take it, "Thank you, Master."

Ah Nian saw his father handing out pocket money to his brothers, then looked at his empty palm, and saw that his father had already put the purse back into his arms, and completely forgot that there was him here, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "Daddy !"

"Hey, what's the matter?" Josh deliberately teased their son. Seeing the little guy's unbelievable and hurt expression on his face, he couldn't help laughing, holding the Putting a string of money in his son's little hand, he said with a smile, "Okay, Daddy hasn't forgotten you. But what do you want to do with the money?"

"Candied haws!" Anian happily held his string of money and smiled happily.

"Don't you like eating candied haws? Then what kind of candied haws do you buy?" Josh didn't forget that their son didn't like to eat sour food since he was a child. The candied haws sold outside are all made of hawthorn. After layering the sugar, the hawthorn inside will be sour after eating, but every time their son only eats the sugar outside and not the hawthorn inside.

Like his brothers, Ah Nian put the money in his pocket, and told his father seriously with a small face, "Eat."

"You don't want to eat, don't try to lie to me." Seeing that the little guy knew that he took money to buy candied haws at a young age, Josh wanted to cheat their son back with the money, so he said deliberately: "You might as well take the money to buy candied haws." Give me the money, and I will make candied apples for you tomorrow. Candied apples, remember? The ones with sugar on them can be candied for a long time, don’t you like that one the most? "

Ah Nian looked hesitant, wandering back and forth on eating candied haws and shredded apples with one heart, and looked at Dad with a pair of big eyes suspiciously and uncertainly.Zhiyi Political Calendar

"I'm serious, I'm not lying to you." Josh stretched out his hand, moved his fingers, and saw that their son really took out the money and gave it to him.Unexpectedly, the money he just gave back was returned, and he put the money returned by his son into his pocket without any psychological burden, "Then let's talk about it like this."

Ah Nian looked at the little palm that was empty again, frowned, and gave a firm "hmm", "I remember."

"Okay, remember, I'll make it for you tomorrow, remember me ahead of time." Unexpectedly, their son was so easy to coax, Josh was already laughing so hard in his heart.

Zhao He looked at Fu Lang who was coaxing his son to play, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he fed the cold water to the child.The thirsty Ah Nian grabbed Grandfather's hand with both hands, gulped down a glass of water, and forgot about the money being tricked back by his father.
