Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

"Ah Cheng is busy this year," Xiao Le came back, and there was naturally a sumptuous meal in the evening. During the conversation, Brother Xiao started talking about Catcher Mo, "It's snowing too much, and the yamen will send people to every village A village inspection, or if something serious happens, I'm afraid the adults will be blamed."

Xiao Le nodded, "He will come back to celebrate the New Year if he has time."

"That kid is good," Xiao's mother nodded repeatedly, and Ren's mother also praised a few words.

After eating, Xiao Le and the others sat in the fire room to keep warm. Considering that their area has a lot of wind and snow in winter, when building the house, Xiao Le specially drew the layout of the fire room. With firewood placed, people around can keep warm, it is also convenient to talk, and there are many places.

So the whole family doesn't feel crowded.

The fire room is warm, and the people in the house will not feel cold no matter how windy and snowy it is outside.

Xiao Le likes to sit on reclining chairs. Brother Xiao and Brother Xiao specially made several. At this time, he was leaning on the reclining chair, lazily, and Xiao Yunxing sat next to him with his head drooping.

"So the task I assigned to you was not completed because you accidentally got soaked in water and couldn't read the handwriting?"

Every time Xiao Le uttered a word, Xiao Yunxing's head lowered a little.

"Brother Kekele, I am wrong about this." Seeing Xiao Yunxing's pitiful appearance, Xiao's mother also defended him, "I went into his room to get things that day, and I was holding a bottle of water in my hand. I wanted to feed the chickens with water, but when I was busy picking up things, I turned around and the water scoop overturned, not only wet the paper but also wet his clothes."

Xiao's mother panicked at that time, and immediately took it to the sun, but the weather was not good, and it rained heavily again while she was busy. Now let alone the handwriting, even the piece of paper is useless.

After Xiao Le quietly listened to Mother Xiao's words, she looked at Xiao Yunxing again, "Yunxing, raise your head, is that so?"

Xiao Yunxing raised his head, "Yes."

"Then why are you guilty?"

Xiao Le asked with a serious face.

Brother Xiao also narrowed his eyes, "Yun Xing, do you have something to hide?"

Xiao Yunxing pursed his lips, not daring to speak.

Second Aunt Xiao said from the side, "I know you have a guilty conscience!"

Facing everyone's confusion, Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Half a month ago, Yun Xing's father went to the county to see his uncle, and I told Yun Xing at that time, let him remember to remind his father, and ask his little uncle to arrange a new one for him. As a result, he deliberately played tricks and didn't tell his father anything."

Xiao Yunxing lowered his head.

Xiao Le raised his head and rubbed his head vigorously.

"Uncle, I was wrong."

Xiao Yunxing apologized with reddish eyes.

"Yunlan, you give him a question, when to do it, and when to show it to me."

Xiao Le called Xiao Yunlan. Among the three siblings, only Xiao Yunlan was the best at arithmetic.

Xiao Yunxing wanted to make amends quickly, so he urged Xiao Yunlan to write a question for himself, and the two siblings went to the main room to get busy.

Brother Xiao sighed, "Did I love to cry when I was young?"

"It's just a crying bag," Father Xiao said in disgust.

Second brother Xiao was shocked, he couldn't believe it and turned to look at Uncle Ren and the others. Father Ren smiled and said, "Even if you fell yourself when you were young, you would sit there and cry for a quarter of an hour, and you wouldn't listen to beating or scolding. I can't stop cursing."

"So you are like this?"

Second Wife Xiao still covered her mouth and looked at him smiling.

"Then I missed it," Mrs. Xiao said with a look of pity, not being able to see it.

"I do remember," Big Brother Xiao laughed, "Brother Le doesn't like to cry, so it's no wonder Yun Xing has a temperament like yours."

"That's the thing, tell me," Second Brother Xiao looked distressed, "Why is Yun Xing a boy, why does he always have red eyes?"

"It's because some girls are temperamental," Xiao's father couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Le thought of the tears in Xiao Yunxing's eyes just now, and looked at the face of Second Brother Xiao, and couldn't imagine what it was like when Second Brother was crying when he was a child.

It was originally about discussing about his son, but in the end, everyone laughed at him. Second brother Xiao didn't want to, and told the funny things about brother Xiao when he was young to amuse everyone.

"After all, Le Geer is the most well-behaved," Xiao's mother said with emotion.

That's because the original owner considered himself noble and superior to others, so he didn't like to talk to his family.

Xiao Le shook his head, "I was the worst when I was a child, and I loved to sue. When my second brother did something wrong, I would secretly tell my mother, and when my second brother was beaten, I would laugh beside him."

"God, brother Le, you are so bad!"

Second Brother Xiao made a sad look, but was overthrown by Brother Xiao, "I remember that Shuanzi and I went to the back mountain to hunt birds. This kid hated me for not taking him there, so he secretly told Dad that I would just have a meal when I came back." beat."

Big Brother Xiao pointed to Second Brother Xiao, "Afterwards, he came to confess his mistake to me. I took him there the second time I went up the mountain, but I broke my leg on the way back. After I got home, I was beaten up again by my father... "

There was laughter in the fire room, and Ren's father and others also talked about Ren Cong and Ren Sanniang's childhood, but compared to the Xiao family, Ren Cong and the others were very obedient.

Speaking of Ren Cong, Xiao Le asked where the other party was going.

Mother Ren said with a smile, "I said that I entered some kind of bodyguard agency, and followed him around, and I became more and more courageous. Not long ago, I asked someone to bring back some things. Let us not miss him."

It would be a lie to say that they are not worried, but when the person who entrusted them said that Ren Cong has not only grown a lot, but also has become more capable of trouble, they are also happy.

There is only such a son in the family. Of course, he hopes to grow up and provide shelter for his future home.

"Sanniang and the others are coming back soon," Ren's father said with a smile, "This year's Chinese New Year is very lively."

"Still not coming back, did you forget that our house collapsed?"

Mother Ren sighed.

"Oh, I really forgot," Ren's father patted his thigh, and then rolled his eyes, "We can go there! Sanniang and his mother will inevitably be cold in the town for the New Year. Let's go and have fun. As for the house, Anyway, that’s the way it is, just read it and come back to clean it up.”

These words touched Ren's mother, so after breakfast the next day, the two of them went to the next town.

Xiao's mother packed some food and asked them to bring it to Ren Sanniang, and told them not to worry, they will help clean up the house after the new year, and it will be fine.

"Third Uncle," Xiao Yunxing brought homework and asked Xiao Le to check it.

Xiao Le nodded after reading it, "Well done, follow me to the county after New Year's Eve, and I will find a master for you."

Shopkeeper Wen's old accountant is trying to recruit students. Xiao Yunxing has talent in this area. Although he is not as good as Xiao Yunlan, he is still good compared to ordinary children.

"Then, will I live with third uncle in the future?"

Xiao Yunxing said nervously.

"Look at you, you can also live with Master."

Seeing Xiao Yunxing's nervousness, Xiao Le asked curiously, "Are you afraid of me?"

Xiao Yunxing scratched his head, "It's awe, you are the most powerful person in our family!"

"is it?"

Xiao Le chuckled and returned the homework to him, "Okay, let's go play."

Xiao Yunxing cheered and ran away.

"Yunlan and Yunyue are both big and big. I want to open a rouge shop and let you take care of it. Can you?"

Xiao Yunyue and Xiao Yunlan were stunned, and Aunt Xiao was startled, "What do they know, don't lose the deal!"

"Study if you don't understand, I'll ask someone to take some of them," Xiao Le told Brother Xiao who wanted to talk, "I'll leave it alone, you are my nieces, and I will add dowry for you when you get married , one shop per person, plus 100 taels of silver, if you master the management of the shop thoroughly, you can earn a lot of money after marriage, do you want to learn?"

"study!"

The two sisters spoke in unison.

"Oh, Brother Le, how can you add a dowry like this!"

Brother Xiao stomped his feet, and Aunt Xiao was too frightened, even they themselves couldn't afford so much, it was ten taels of silver.

"This is what I deserve," Xiao Le waved his hand. "My brothers and sisters-in-law have paid a lot for me, and Yun Xing is also treated the same way, so they have to study hard and learn thoroughly. Don't feel bad when the time comes."

"What? Yun Xing also..."

The second sister-in-law Xiao and his wife were also taken aback. The two couples surrounded Xiao Le, trying to make him change his mind, but Xiao Le turned cold. Brothers and sisters-in-law stood there obediently like quails. Xiao Le said , they nod once.

Sister Xiao Yunyue was dumbfounded.

Xiao's mother and Xiao's father held back their laughter, and it was not until Xiao Le returned to the room that Xiao's father pointed at his two sons and daughter-in-law and laughed, "Only Brother Le can cure you!"

"Father," Brother Xiao worried, "Brother Le is not married yet, even if he can earn money, he has to plan for his future children, so much money and shop for nieces, nephews, and future brothers and sisters Can you be happy?"

"You guys," Xiao's mother also nodded at them, "Brother Le, you don't need to worry about it, he mentioned it to me several times, it's not that we let go, he can say it in front of you? It's Yunyue and Yunlan, We also asked many times, which made them accept it with peace of mind."

Now the two brothers and sisters-in-law are speechless.

In private, the two sisters-in-law said red-eyed that Xiao Le was so good, and they were more concerned about the children in the family. They also said that the children should not be chilled in his heart, and that they should be raised by Xiao Le in the future even if they are not provided for the elderly.

After Xiao Le heard it by accident, he couldn't laugh or cry.

The wind and snow were much lighter that day, and the family slaughtered two New Year pigs.

Brother Xiao moved the knife neatly and skillfully.

Inviting a butcher to come in this snowy day, it will cost two hundred cash, if you can do it yourself.

There were also young people from the clan's hometown who came to help, and the pig-killing feast was lively. When they left, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao even packed meat for them and asked them to take it back for the elderly at home to taste.

The meat was stewed for an extra half an hour, and it was so soft that the old man didn't bother to eat it at all.

"Either the life of Xiao's family is better or better. Look at what they do."

"Yeah, I really care."

The next day the Xiao family went out to help other families. Xiao Le didn't like to join in the fun, so he kept warm in the fire room at home. When he was hungry, he asked Xiao Yunxing to bake sweet potatoes for himself, and when he was thirsty, he asked Xiao Yunxing to make tea for himself.

Xiao Yunxing ran wildly, very happy, and didn't feel that his little uncle was annoying at all. When he came back, Xiao Le bought a few bolts of better-colored cloth, and Xiao Yunlan and Xiao Yunyue were making clothes beside them. Xiao Le didn't feel disturbed by the words, and would point out the needle method from time to time.

The two sisters were shocked.

"Who told me to read more books?" Xiao Le brought the topic to the book, and took some questions for his two nieces, enjoying himself.

But Brother Xiao and the others who came back in the evening were not very happy.

"What's wrong with this? Hurry up and change clothes! Yunyue Yunlan quickly boil the water!"

Mother Xiao called.

"Eh!"

When the group of people put on warm clothes and sat by the fire room, Mrs. Xiao said, "We shouldn't go to the two brothers of the Liu family to help. It's okay to be at Boss Liu's place in the morning, although the food is not good. It's almost..."

"That's almost?"

Brother Xiao was so angry that he said, "Pig-killing banquet, what are they doing? There's not even a piece of good meat! It's very embarrassing."

"Go to Liu Laoer's side to help in the afternoon, good guy, that family is even better," Second Brother Xiao gave a thumbs up, "It's such a cold day, it's hard to burn firewood! The meat is all lean meat."

"It's a bit meaty anyway," Second Aunt Xiao sighed.

These days, everyone likes fat meat, lean meat is not oily, which is not very popular.

"If we hadn't borrowed their tables and chairs before, I really didn't want to help. I thought the two families had changed their temper, but I didn't expect..."

Brother Xiao sighed again.

"The two families won't contact each other after the favor is repaid." Xiao Le made tea for them, brought it over with Xiao Yunxing, and handed it to them while saying, "Let's see, who else is willing to help them next year."

"That's right! Brother Le is right!"

Brother Xiao nodded again and again.

After eating a hot supper at home, they were satisfied, but they still couldn't help but chanted a few words after returning to the room, and they leaned on each other to sleep.

This winter, they live in a new house, covered with warm quilts, and the family is harmonious and beautiful. It can be said that this is the best New Year they have ever had.

Xiao Le was lying on the bed, thinking about someone, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

At this time, Mo was leading his brothers to dig up people buried in the snow against the wind and snow.

"This is the eighth house."

After digging out the man, Mo Butou was carried away, frowning.

"It's snowing a lot this year, so don't make any big troubles," the monkey prayed beside him.

"I remember your baby was born last month?"

Don't catch the head and ask.

"Yes, boss," the monkey showed his big white teeth, "he is very fat, so he is called a fat baby, but he is very noisy."

"It's a good thing for a child to be noisy, keep your spirit up," a longtime father catcher quickly came over and patted the monkey on the shoulder, and then said to Mo catcher, "Boss, there are too many people living in thatched cottages, brothers You can’t help so many people if you don’t close your eyes.”

"Then let the village chief gather these people and let them pack up and go to a safer place in the village to avoid it." Mo Butou pointed in one direction, "The ancestral halls in every village are good, and the ancestral halls support the entire village. The ancestors, the younger generations are suffering, don't the ancestors hope that they can protect them a little bit?"

So the police went from village to village and let the village chief handle it. Some people just didn't want to go to the ancestral hall, and went honestly after something happened.

After tossing and tossing, it was not until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month that the wind and snow finally stopped. On New Year's Eve, Xiao Le watched it several times at the gate of the courtyard.

In the evening when the reunion dinner was about to start, he heard the sound of horseshoes, Xiao Yunxing was the first to rush out, and finally came in with Mo Tutou.

"Father, mother, brothers and sisters-in-law, I'm late, this is the good wine I made, let's have a good drink!"

Mo catcher said loudly.

After the horse was settled, everyone began to eat. Xiao Le drank a glass of wine, and his whole body warmed up. Seeing that he liked it, Mo Butou poured him another glass.

"Where did you fight?"

"Wu's wine shop," Mo Tutou said with a smile, "the fruit wine is also from his family, and the taste is good. If I didn't have some friendship with them, I'm afraid they wouldn't have left me much."

"It's also thanks to the people from your government who came to make a plan. Three houses in our village collapsed later. Fortunately, no one was at home, and they were all in the ancestral hall, so the disaster was avoided."

Father Xiao was full of emotion.

"What's even better is that the wind and snow have stopped now, so the things we worry about won't happen," Mo Butou raised his head and drank his wine, "God is not happy, it's the common people who suffer."

"Yes."

Mo Butou didn't keep the New Year's Eve with them. He was very tired these days. After packing himself up, he went to Xiao Le's room to rest.

The Xiao family had no doubts.

As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Le was picked up and put on the bed, and Mo Tutou was greeted with his longing for these days...

On the first day of this year, no one deliberately knocked on the door to pay New Year's greetings. The whole family slept until the afternoon. Xiao Le moved in his arms, "They woke up."

There were voices in the main room.

"Lie down for a while," Mo Tutou held him still, and put him in his arms, "You don't even know that these days, when I get home, it's deserted, and I feel really bad not seeing you."

"I said to celebrate the New Year in the city, but you won't let me."

"You are bored at home by yourself, and you can talk to your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law when you come back here, so you can feel more at ease."

Xiao Le smiled when he heard the words, and the two procrastinated for a long time before getting up to wash up.

They talked to their family members as usual, Catcher Mo was even more diligent, and wanted to mess with everything, but in the end they were annoyed by Mrs. Xiao and the others, so they forced Brother Xiao to drag them to the fire room to stop.

"You're not young anymore, what kind of girl do you like? Mom will pay attention to you."

There are only four people in the fire room, Father Xiao, Mother Xiao, and Xiao Le.

Hearing Xiao's mother's words, Xiao Le raised his eyes to look over, Mo Butou was stunned by the look, and immediately said, "No mother, I have no plans to get married."

"Why don't you have this plan?"

Xiao's mother and Xiao's father were taken aback.

Mo catches his head and scratches his head, "I like to be at ease, and I don't like to be controlled by others. Besides, I live on the knife's edge, and I don't feel at ease if I follow."

"Yeah, I'm not at home often," Xiao Le said slowly.

The corner of Mo Catcher's mouth twitched, "Try to go home as early as possible."

"Tut tsk tsk," Xiao Le shook his head.

"Want to eat sweet potatoes? I'll bake them for you!"

Mo Tutou got up and went to the small storeroom to bring a bamboo basket of sweet potatoes. The ashes were removed from the fire and buried, and they could be eaten later.

And when he was going to get the sweet potatoes, Xiao Le sighed and said to the worried old man, "Actually, Brother Cheng has another reason, which I'm sorry to tell you."

"what reason?"

"He... Heavenly Eunuch."

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao: ...

So when Catcher Mo came back again, he felt that his parents looked at him strangely.

He didn't dare to ask, because he was afraid that the other party would start talking about his relationship again. Fortunately, his parents didn't mention it anymore, they just kept saying that there was no shortage of him in the family, and that his nephew and niece would be filial to him.

As if he was dying.

Just as the father and mother went out, Mo Butou asked Xiao Le, Xiao Le glanced at him somewhere, and said meaningfully, "Don't ask, just ask me to help you solve the problem of getting married."

Mo Catcher was so obedient that he stopped asking, but he endured a long period of loving eyes from his parents.

On the third day of junior high school, Catcher Mo followed them to Uncle Xiao Le's house to pay New Year's greetings.

After learning that Butou Mo was their recruit, the brave Butou Mo, the uncles were a little cautious, but they were very enthusiastic about Butou Mo.

They returned home that evening.

"It's better to be at home."

Xiao Le on the recliner sighed.

"You," Mother Xiao smiled and shook her head, "Now that your uncles are getting older, they don't move around like they used to. Let's visit them more when we have time."

"Mother who knows," Xiao Le nodded, Mo Tutou pulled out the sweet potato, peeled it and then gave it to Xiao Le, Xiao Yunxing and the others followed their parents to go to their mother's house, and they will not come back today.

In the evening, Xiao Le insisted on cooking, and the four of them ate around a small table and drank a little wine.

When she was about to rest, Xiao's mother watched Mo Tutou enter Xiao Le's room again, she closed the door of the main room, walked into the room and talked about it.

"What is he... and he has a very good relationship with Brother Le, so don't care what they do."

Father Xiao waved his hand.

"I'm not that kind of dirty mind, I just think... this kid is not easy, why don't you find him a widow?"

"...You are stupid to be a widow? If you yell out, how will Ah Cheng behave? Such a tall young man, but, but can't..."

Father Xiao shook his head like a rattle.

This is really embarrassing.

Xiao's mother sighed, fell asleep and suddenly said, "What about a widow with a child? With her own child, she wants to find someone to rely on."

"...you can ask tomorrow."

Hearing this question the next day, Catcher Mo rubbed his ears, "Mom, I'm going to raise children for others with my money, so I might as well raise these few in our family. These children are good-natured and good people." , How do I know if other people's children are good or bad? If they are ambitious, they will beat me up when I get old and won't give me food..."

The more he talked, the more miserable he was, and he brought out all the cases. Hearing that, Xiao's mother's face changed drastically. How dare she find any widow for him.

Xiao Le listened without changing his face, and waited for Xiao's mother to leave before saying, "Do you want a child?"

"I don't want it, I can have it if you want."

Don't catch the head and tell the truth.

"The few children in the family are enough," Xiao Le smiled and waved his hands.

"But why would my parents want to marry me a widow?"

Mo Butou looked at Xiao Le quietly, "Brother Le, what did you tell your parents?"

"you guess."

"I do not guess you guess guess."

"Guess whether I guess or not."

"You... you won."

Don't catch the head, willing to lose the wind.

Xiao Le raised his chin proudly, "Trouble Butou, please make me a cup of tea."

"My master scholar, please wait a moment," Mo Tutou made him gold silk tea. Around noon, Big Brother Xiao and the others came back, and not long after, Second Brother Xiao's family also came back.

The big courtyard of the Xiao family became lively again.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, Mo Tutou and Xiao Le returned to the county, and the two began to work again.

One went to the yamen and the other to a private school.

After the spring, Xiao Yunxing was sent over by Brother Xiao, and Xiao Le took him to see the old accountant. The old accountant said that he would take him for three days before giving a call. Xiao Le agreed, and would pick him up every evening.

Three days later, Xiao Yunxing was taken over by the old accountant. At this time, the shop Xiao Le bought was also installed. With the help of the shopkeeper left behind by Wen, he found a mother-in-law. She was also a capable person when she was young. I hired a housekeeper, but unfortunately, the family was disrespectful, so the mother-in-law gave up as soon as she gritted her teeth and went back to the old house to live.

Now that she is invited out to teach two girls who have not left the cabinet, she is somewhat interested.

Xiao Yunyue and Xiao Yunlan worshiped each other as teachers, Xiao Le used his savings to buy a small courtyard not far from the shop, and let Xiao Yunxing live with them.

Brother Xiao and the others come to see from time to time so they can have a place to eat and stay.

When the children's affairs were settled, Xiao Le devoted himself to teaching, but one day a child came to tell him crying that he would not come tomorrow.

I kept crying and couldn't tell.

After Xiao Le finished school, he followed him home. The child's family conditions are good, and his parents are reasonable people.

Seeing Xiao Le coming to the door in person, they hurriedly invited someone into the house, and then served good tea and snacks.

"Run Cai said that he will not come to the private school tomorrow, why?"

Runcai's eyes were red, and she looked at Runcai's father with complaints, and Runcai's father sighed, "My mother said that our family is all in business, and the child will not go into an official career. It's okay to study for more than a year. Let the children come back and follow me to take over the family business slowly."

"If he doesn't want to go into an official career, reading more books will also help him in the business world."

Xiao Lewen said.

"That's right," Runcai Niang nodded again and again, "I just don't think it's necessary, and we are also... oh..."

After all, it was her own mother-in-law, no matter how dissatisfied Runcai Niang was, she couldn't speak too much in front of her child's wife.

In the end, Runcai's father said, "Master, don't worry, Run will continue to study. It won't be too late for him to go home and study business when he is of the right age."

"Runcai is extremely smart," Xiao Le said after thinking about it, "he will definitely do something in the future."

Hearing this, the couple were very excited. They naturally knew that the child was smart, otherwise they would not have gone to great lengths to send him to the private school run by Zhang Juren. Parents are naturally happy.

Xu Shi's first home visit was relatively successful, and it didn't take long for the second time because the child pretended to be sick and just didn't come to class.

Xiao Le naturally wanted to ask the reason for his fate, and he found out after asking, because he was always the last one, so he felt ashamed and didn't want to go...

Since Xiao Le started to go to private schools in the morning, and occasionally visit home in the afternoon, or organize students to sketch.

As a result, even if Mo Butou was free at home, he couldn't see anyone.

Gradually I started to get jealous.

"That kid just wants you to visit him at home," Mo Catcher said sourly when Xiao Le was about to visit his home again that day.

"Why do you say that?"

Xiao Le asked curiously.

"You don't know? Now your students want you to visit their homes and talk to you more."

Mo Butou didn't tell lies.

Xiao Le frowned, "That's not okay. My home visit is not to talk to them at home, but to let them study at ease."

After thinking about it, he said, "I won't go today, I'll ask the neighbor's kid to talk to me later, do you still have the peach cake at home? Give it to the kid."

"Yes, I'll go," Mo Butou immediately regained his energy, and went out with a large bag of peach cakes, and came back beaming after a while, "It's done, let's go, let's go to the Rouge Shop to see Yunyue and the others?"

"Alright."

After getting busy, they seldom go there, and they are too busy to come here.

The business of the rouge shop was really good, because there were mostly women inside, so the two of them waited and watched for a while before going in. Instead, they went back to the courtyard where Xiao Yunyue and the others lived. Xiao Le had the key.

At noon, Mo Tuotou went to the Yanzhi shop to deliver the meal. After learning that Xiao Le cooked it, Xiao Yunyue and the others were so happy that they all liked the food Xiao Le cooked.

Delivering food to the nieces, the nephew must not forget, Xiao Le delivered food to Xiao Yunxing.

President Xiao Yun is a little taller, and his voice is a little hoarse due to the voice change period, "Are you used to it?"

"I'm used to it. Master is very kind to me, and Uncle San is also kind to me." Xiao Yunxing's temperament has also changed a lot since he came to the town. He no longer has the appearance of crying from time to time. This still makes the second brother Xiao and his wife the happiest place.

"Let's go home in ten days and have a look. Remember to tell your master."

Counting it, it has been a month and a half since I went back to see my family, and Xiao Le still misses him a little.

"it is good."

Xiao Yunxing was also homesick, but when he started learning, he was too busy to even think about home.

Ten days later, the group returned home for one night, and returned to the county at noon the next day to continue their work.

Mother Xiao took Mother Ren's hand and sighed, "When Brother Le left home, I was worried, but at least there were a few small ones at home, and now the young ones have gone out, and the boss and the second child are in front of me. I also find it annoying, but I miss the children more and more."

After Ren Cong learned that the house at home had collapsed, he asked someone to bring back ten taels of silver. The house has been repaired, and now the two are sitting in the courtyard of Ren's house talking.

"If you miss them, go and have a look. Brother Le has built a yard in the county. Haven't you guys been there yet?"

"There are so many things at home, we really let us go, and we can't let go," Xiao's mother immediately shook her head.

Not long after the spring blossoms, shopkeeper Wen came back. He lost a lot of weight. At first he was slightly fat and looked like a kind person, but now he is thinner and looks a bit cold. If he hadn’t come to the door in person, Xiao Le would have been a little bit helpless. make out.

"Why did you lose so much weight?"

"Although the capital is prosperous, it's not a place to relax." Shopkeeper Wen smiled and put a small wooden box on the table and pushed it in front of Xiao Le. "This is from that painting."

Xiao Le opened the box and took a look, and couldn't help but gasp, there was a stack of thousand taels of silver bills inside.

"so much?"

"That painting really fell into that person's hands now," Shopkeeper Wen pointed to the sky, "Brother Xiao, do you really plan to hide your name at such a young age?"

"The peaceful life cannot be broken," Xiao Le closed the box, "I like this kind of life, if they know that I am the second scar, then I am afraid that I will not be at peace."

Shopkeeper Wen nodded, "You don't know how much madness your painting has brought. Nowadays, women in many places are imitating the dresses of the women in that painting, and the literati are even writing poems constantly. Some people even wonder if this snow girl exists. .”

"It doesn't exist. I drew it casually, because I didn't know how to look good, so I only drew the side face. This is also the reason why she is facing people from the side."

Xiao Le openly stated what he was thinking when he was painting.

Shopkeeper Wen's mouth twitched violently, "Do you know how many guesses the world has about the woman in the painting?"

"tell me the story."

"Some say she is Mr. Erba's mother, and some say she is Mr. Erba's deceased wife. Because she lost her beloved, that's why she was named Erba. The two scars in my heart can't heal."

Xiao Le: ...

What a brain.

After seeing off shopkeeper Wen, Xiao Le quickly carried the wooden box back to the room to count the bank notes. He is the richest man in this world!

Having won so much money, Xiao Le didn't hide it from Mo Butou, Mo Butou's knees went limp when he heard that, and he said with a bitter face, "What should I do, I'm afraid you will run away."

"what?"

"I only have five renminbi a month, even in a few lifetimes, I haven't had so much money," Mo Tutou felt extremely inferior.

Xiao Le giggled when he heard this, Mo Tutou couldn't help but kissed him when he saw this, "Why are you so rare."

"I'm going to donate some of the money to the soldiers in Hanbei. If you know someone in the barracks, I'll leave it to you."

Mo Butou was taken aback for a moment, then he pulled Xiao Le's face, "...Okay."

Xiao Le donated more than half of it, and kept the rest. He didn't plan to paint in the past two years.

This skill is too scary, and the reason he is afraid of deducting points is that the good farmer's essay has been turned into a gangster's essay by him.

After he was free, Xiao Le went back to his home, and after discussing with his father at the clan's hometown, they also rebuilt the Xiao family's ancestral hall, and then paid money to fix the road from the village to the town. Xiao Le's move made him popular. Xiao Le, who just wanted to do something practical for the village, was suddenly praised in front of him. He was very uncomfortable. Regardless of how those literati friends invited him, he didn't go out to the party. .

Zhang Juren felt that he was very good-natured, so he drank tea and chatted with him after school from time to time.

The days passed day by day, and it was another year of winter in a blink of an eye.

Ren Cong is back.

When he left, he was still a green boy, but when he came back, he was very different. He was tall and big, and he didn't know what he ate outside. Looking at his face, he was much more resolute, and his voice was even more calm and powerful.

He acts like an adult when he talks and does things.

When Xiao Yunyue saw this kind of obedience, she couldn't believe that this was the obedience she had been thinking about.

Ren Cong never expected that after two years of separation, his sweetheart would become more and more beautiful.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and when they separated their eyes, they were both a little shy.

"That's how I got to know this kid a little bit," Second Brother Xiao pointed at Ren Cong, "Are you still going out?"

"I'm not going out, I made some money, and I want to open a shop in the town and live in peace," Ren Cong said after glancing at Xiao Yunyue.

"Yunyue and the others have also been busy in the town this year," Second Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded.

This time when they proposed marriage, the Ren family didn't just offer chickens. Although 50 taels of silver didn't look like much in front of the Xiao family, it was quite a lot to put in ordinary people's homes, not to mention that it was colored silver.

Xiao Yunyue and Ren Cong were engaged, Xiao Le was the first to feel relieved, and finally found a good home.

"Yunyue is only sixteen this year, we want to keep her for another year, what about next year?"

Xiao's sister-in-law discussed with Ren's mother and the others with red eyes.

"Of course it's good," Ren's mother nodded repeatedly. It was unthinkable in the past that such a good child could marry their family's Ren Cong.

Ever since he made an engagement, that kid has become very thick-skinned, he would come to the door from time to time, but he didn't pester Yunyue, either to help with work, or to sit and talk with them.

"The Liu family is looking for someone to help press the pigs. We won't be going this year," Second Brother Xiao, who came back from outside, snorted softly.

"I suffered a lot last year, and if we don't treat us as human beings, who will go," Mrs. Xiao clicked her tongue. Ren Cong was not at home last year, and he didn't know what happened. He only understood after hearing Xiao Yunxing's words.

The Liu family couldn't find anyone, but they really found Ren Cong.

I think this kid is so foolish, but who knows that Ren Cong is a smart man, he said that he would not be free to go to his third sister, so the two brothers of the Liu family asked you to help me and me to help you.

"Guess what happened? The pig didn't kill it! It struggled and ran away after poking it in a little bit! It was hard to hold it down, but it hurt the waist and legs of the two brothers, tsk tsk," Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt that they were a little bit Pitiful.

"This is not a good sign," Mother Xiao frowned, the old man always wrote those things.

"Anyway, their family's face is not good-looking, and people in the village say that people are doing things and the sky is watching," Second Aunt Xiao lowered her voice. I went, maybe I ate the sacrifice..."

Xiao Le's ears twitched, and suddenly regained his energy. He pulled Mo Butou and said, "If I write a ghost story, do you think anyone will read it?"

Mo Chutou, who was well aware of his ghost story skills, turned pale, and Brother Xiao and the others stopped him even more.

"What if that person is sick and frightened to death after reading the ghost story you wrote?"

"That's it."

Brother Xiao agreed, and Xiao Yunxing nodded vigorously.

"Forget it," Xiao Le was a little disappointed, "I just heard what my second sister-in-law said, and I just got a little inspiration."

Just when his family breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly said, "I can't write it for others, I'll tell you!"

Mother Xiao was the first to get up, "Oh, I'll go to your Aunt Ren's house to sit."
