Since the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there have been many shopkeepers walking around the streets with their burdens, selling various things, and their shouts have their own characteristics. As long as they make a sound, sensitive villagers can even understand which shopkeeper it is!But each village is not big after all, and after the shopkeepers have left once or twice, they basically have to come back for replenishment every one or two months.

Most of the people who go shopping are children. They buy a few sugar balls that cannot be eaten in the village, or other toys resold in the city. .These things are also available in the county, but the shopkeeper delivers them directly to the door, which is cheaper by one or two copper coins.The villagers don't mind taking care of the shopkeeper's business at all.Even Zhang Xu went to buy a few needles. The ones at home were rusty and not easy to use, so it was convenient to replace them.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, there are basically no shopkeepers in the village.The husbands in the village are familiar with the shopkeepers, and they will tell the shopkeepers in advance to let them bring them when they come next time.

However, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, another shopkeeper came. When the yelling sounded, Zhang Xu was quite surprised. He opened the door and poked his head out to have a look. When he saw a figure carrying a burden walking through the streets, he thought about it. I want to take some money and go out.

Of course, Zhao Xuan would not let go of the good things on the peddler's burden. Before that, he bought a handful of fried beans from the peddler. It was not fashionable to eat fried soybeans in the village, and he despised them, so Zhao Xuan liked the crunchy ones. The taste is not too bad for a toothache.

Soon to be planting in the spring, Zhao Chen thought about it and went out to see if there were any vegetable seeds and the like.

"Brother Xu, is there anything you want to buy?" Zhao Chen asked before going out.

Zhang Xu thought about it carefully, and basically had all the things they needed in the house, and couldn’t remember what was missing for a while: “There’s nothing left, why didn’t you go, let him see if there’s anything he needs just buy it."

"Brother! Hurry up, people are crowding around, and if you slow down, nothing will be left!" Zhao Xuan ducked his head out of the door, leaving his ass facing Zhao Chen, his mouth busy urged him.

"Then you go! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, even if you drag me along, I won't pay you!"

Zhao Xuan finally turned his head, looked at Zhao Chen pitifully, and sighed three times: "Brother, I'm your own younger brother, you can't treat me so harshly!"

"I treat you badly." Zhao Chen stared at him, "Who do you see that has a copper coin as pocket money a day?" Ever since Zhao Chen became rich, he began to give Zhao Xuan pocket money, one coin a day For the copper plate, the corners of the little bastard Le’s mouth were about to turn up, and he specially asked Zhang Xu for a small clay pot to hold the copper plate, and he ran around the house like a mouse for two days, saying that he was hiding money from his own house!He is only a little old, and he already knows about private money?Zhao Chen didn't know where he learned these messy words, and he didn't know where he hid the money jar in the end.

Zhao Xuan struggled to death: "Brother, it's still the first month of the month, please be nicer to me and pay for me?" With his small face in his hands, Zhao Xuan kept blinking at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen was indifferent: "Get lost!"

His face was almost full of anger, Zhao Xuan stomped his feet vigorously, and ran away: "Stingy, petty!"

Zhao Chen looked up to the sky and rolled his eyes, followed Zhang Xu out of the door, stood aside for a while, and waited for a group of young husbands to finish picking them before going, Zhao Xuan didn't care about that, he rushed into the crowd like a rocket head, and asked If there is something good, I started looking for it by myself while turning over the burden of the salesman.

Zhao Chen pointed out to Zhang Xu, who's husband is this, and whose husband is that.With such a finger, he even saw Zhao Ruyi.

"Zhao Ruyi? That's what Li's husband said last time, that your uncle's family wants to promise to Fu Linmen's little brother?" Zhang Xu asked in a low voice after rare gossip.

Mrs. Li Bin followed his husband back to the county after the fifteenth day. He left early this morning, so Aunt Zhang Xu reluctantly went to the entrance of the village to see him off.

Zhao Chen was unhappy, and corrected him solemnly: "Ah, be careful with what you say. I broke up with him. That's not my uncle. I have to change this name in the future. You have to call him Boss Zhao." Chen was not happy and corrected him sternly.

Zhang Xu nodded, and said, "Didn't you say that Zhao Ruyi doesn't go out at all?" Ever since the news about Zhao Ruyi and Wang Yunda came out in the village, Zhao Ruyi had been hidden at home, and she was said to be an unmarried younger brother. Son, it's not good to hang out all the time.

In fact, Zhao Ruyi hasn't been out much since he was born. Xia Chun has completely raised him as a sweet brother from a rich family, and is waiting to marry a rich man and pull him home.

"Oh, who knows about him."

A bunch of people were almost selected, so Zhao Chen dragged Zhang Xu over.Over there, Zhao Ruyi chose a piece of cloth, with a smile on his lips, and looked at the shopkeeper intimately, and saw the shopkeeper push the item into Zhao Ruyi's hand, signaling to give it to him.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Chen always felt that something was wrong, but Zhao Ruyi saw Zhao Chen's eyes, turned and left.

Zhao Xuan bought another handful of beans and chewed them. Ama Zhang Xu picked and picked among the pickers, and finally bought a roll of thread for sewing clothes at home.Zhao Chen asked Caizi.I heard the shopkeeper say: "Our shopkeepers usually don't have this thing. We have a small burden. Even if we get it, we don't have all the seed shops. Besides, people in the village are used to going to the seed shop to buy it. Don't ask us. We made the goods and sold them." The ones are not good either." The salesman looks quite upright, and he smiles with a hearty smile, but his eyes are squinted, and there is always a hint of malice.

Zhao Chen didn't like this person for no reason, so he let out an oh, indicating that he knew.

The shopkeeper was going to a distant village, and he was passing by here, so he came to Xiliu Village to shout. Now that the business in Xiliu Village is finished, the shopkeeper smiled and left with his burden.

Zhao Chen suddenly asked Zhao Xuan, "Where did Kid Rui go? Why haven't I seen him all morning?"

Zhao Xuan grumbled, still unhappy that Zhao Chen didn't pay him: "How would I know, brother, you didn't let me watch him."

Is this kid itchy again?Zhao Chen stopped, brought Zhao Xuan to him, pointed a finger at the tip of his nose, and his eyes turned cold: "Zhao Xuan, who am I to you?"

Recently, during the New Year's riots, Zhao Chen didn't take care of him very seriously, and Zhao Xuan was too frightened, thinking that his brother would let him go in the future, but at first glance, Zhao Chen became fierce.Zhao Xuan was a little scared.He said stupidly: "Brother..."

"Do you think that if I ignore you recently and indulge you, you can be no big or small?"

Zhao Xuan pursed his mouth, and squeezed the beans tightly with his small hands, feeling that his palms were sweating, and his eyes were also red: "I, I didn't..."

Zhao Chen said: "Listen well, I am your elder brother, so if anything happens to you, I will protect you. You are my younger brother, so no matter what time you are, you have to respect me, because I am the elder, It's also because I support you. This is called kindness. Brother doesn't need you to repay the kindness, but you need to remember it. This kind of thing is the same for others. When others treat you well, you also need to remember other people's kindness, but others You have to pay back your kindness." After a pause, his tone became darker, "If you can't do it, I'll beat you to death!"

Zhao Xuan finally cried out, and the round teardrops fell to the ground one by one along his eyes. He reached out to rub his eyes, but this boy still held the beans in his fists.Zhao Chen had a toothache.

Zhang Xu's aunt persuaded in a low voice: "He is young now..."

Zhao Chen said: "If he grows up, I'll beat him right away!"

Zhao Xuan cried for a while, but Zhao Chen ignored him and let him cry all the way home.Many people on the road looked here curiously, Zhao Chen's face was serious, and no one dared to look at it blatantly.

When Zhao Xuan had cried enough, he didn't say to stay away from Zhao Chen, but even grabbed his brother's clothes and refused to let go, because he was afraid that his brother would dislike him and throw him out the door.

Zhao Chen finished playing with prestige, and rubbed the child's head: "I know I'm afraid this time, be more honest in the future!"

Zhao Xuan nodded like a dove.

When I got home, I saw that Cao Rui was already in the yard, but his expression was a little strange. When he saw Zhao Chen came back, he looked at Zhao Chen with hesitant eyes, obviously he had something to say.

I have seen Zhao Chen whispering like this in ktv a lot.Immediately, he pushed Zhao Xuan, who was holding his thigh, and asked him to go and see the son of a bitch at home. Now Zhao Xuan obeyed Zhao Chen's orders, and went there with his eyes wide open.Only then did Zhao Chen say to Cao Rui, "I haven't visited your original house since years ago, anyway, I have nothing to do, let's go for a walk."

Cao Rui nodded, and the two of them went out. Before going out, Zhao Chen turned around and shouted, "Ah, let's cut some pork belly and fry it in a hot and sour stew to make noodles!"

Amo Zhang Xu replied from afar.

Cao Rui followed Zhao Chen with his head down, until he was a little far away from home, Cao Rui looked around again, but there was no one there.Only then did he dare to speak.

"Brother Chen, I have something to tell you after thinking about it..."

Zhao Chen had been waiting for him to speak for a long time: "You said, what's the matter? Did you cause trouble? Or did Zhao Xuan cause trouble?"

Cao Rui looked up at him fiercely, his head was shaking like a rattle: "No no no no!"

Zhao Chen snorted, "That's fine. It's not a big deal if it's not about family members. I thought something happened to you two!"

Cao Rui twisted his sleeves with his fingers, feeling warm in his heart: "No, we are both fine, something happened to someone else..."

Zhao Chen stopped, this is a street intersection, extending in all directions, anyone can see at a glance from any direction, and he is not afraid of someone eavesdropping on the two of them talking.

"You tell me." Zhao Chen said.

"Didn't I follow boy Xuan to watch the lanterns in the city yesterday?" Cao Rui stretched his head in front of Zhao Chen, lowering his voice a bit, "It was good to watch at first, but then boy Xuan and boy Tai said they were going to put it on." Hedeng, I thought there were few people on the side of Hedeng, so I didn’t need to be crowded on the main road in the city, so I told Uncle Zhou and went with them. The three of us set up the Hedeng, and I heard people around me There was a voice behind the tree in the distance, and the faltering and murmurs could not be heard clearly, I felt something was wrong, so I asked Boy Xuan and Boy Tai to put the lights on by the river and look over there." Cao Rui's voice was even more subdued. His thin body shrank back in fear, "I saw a person holding a child and putting it on a broken carriage. The child's mouth was blocked, so he faltered when he spoke. I, I was frightened, no If he dared to speak out, he dragged Xuan boy and Tai boy and hurried away."
