That day when the young man came to the department store to buy things, he bumped into Xiao Fafu and Xiao Le right away.

The young man didn't look at Xiao Fafu, but stared at Xiao Le. When Xiao Fafu frowned, the other party smiled at Xiao Le.

Pulling Xiao Fafu, who was about to get angry, Xiao Le asked him to go to the side to receive the guests who were picking things, and smiled at the young man, "You have a good memory."

The young man shook the things he had chosen, "After all, you look good."

"Thanks," Xiao Le has always been thick-skinned, "I remember there are rumors about brother Qi around our town, you..."

"Not every family can accept it," the young man interrupted him calmly, "Are you the same as me?"

Xiao Le didn't deny it, "I'm working hard too."

"If you say it, it must be possible," the young man didn't know why he had so much confidence in Xiao Le in front of him.

"Don't do that, it will scare the girls too much."

The young man rarely blushed, "I also rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and I won't be able to do it in the future. Please count how much copper."

"Twelve, but since you're honest, I'll take ten from you."

Xiao Le generously erased the change.

As soon as the young man thanked him and handed over the copper plate, the tall and strong man Xiao Le had seen that day greeted him at the door of the shop.

"Here we come," the young man turned his head and smiled at him, waved to Xiao Le with the packed things, then trotted up to the man, and the two walked into the crowd talking and laughing.

"You're not afraid of that kid..."

Xiao Fafu, who glanced at his cousin's handsome appearance, hesitated to speak.

"I don't have such a great charm," Xiao Le couldn't laugh or cry, "You should go back earlier, isn't sister-in-law vomiting badly?"

Thinking of the woman at home who was vomiting during pregnancy, Xiao Fafu also put the young man behind him, "Then I'll go back earlier today."

After finishing speaking, he took the sour plums and candied haws that he bought earlier and left.

Xiao Chengyun went to deliver the goods and came back in the afternoon.

Xiao Le handed him the pancake, "Uncle Li came here just now."

"What did you say?"

Uncle Li is the owner of this shop.

"What else can I say, let's raise the rent."

Seeing that their business is good, so the price is raised on the ground.

"Then I won't rent it," Xiao Chengyun didn't accept this kind of anger, "I have enough money in hand, we just buy a shop."

"Is the location good?"

"There are those sold at the east gate, but they are smaller than this." The excess goods had to be stored first.

"It doesn't matter," Xiao Le waved his hand, "There are quite a few courtyards at the east gate, rent a small room, just put your things in it."

The two brothers were talking about buying a shop. After eating the pancakes, Xiao Chengyun went to find Uncle Li and said that they would not rent any more next month.

Uncle Li didn't expect that they would rather buy a shop than rent it, so he immediately said, "Then trouble you to move out as soon as possible."

After Xiao Chengyun left, Uncle Li's wife complained, "Look, did you force him away?"

"What do you know?" Uncle Li snorted coldly, "How many people remember that shop now, let the boss also open a grocery store, it's there, and the business is just as good."

Since you want to move, you have to start immediately. Xiao Fafu came to look at the shop, Xiao Le looked for a yard with cheap rent, and Xiao Chengyun went to buy a shop, pack it out, and reorganize it so that it can be loaded and sold.

Xiao Fafu felt that Uncle Li was shameless, and every time a guest came, he would tell the other party that the shop was moving and went to the east gate.

But in a few days, all the customers who have been here know that their department store is going to move.

After renting the yard, Mo Cheng also came to help, moved all the cleared goods in, and prepared some rice grains. The yard is not big, but there are two rooms to live in. If you can't make it back in the evening, you can leave It is also good to stay here.

The new shop opened soon, and at the time of their opening, Uncle Li's son also spread the groceries to their former ancestor's shop.

Also named: Li's Department Store.

Honestly, it's really uncomfortable.

Xiao Le gritted his teeth, and yelled at Xiao Fafu on the opening day: "Xiao's department store is newly opened! Buy one get one free in the first three days!"

This attracted a lot of people, and the sales volume of the day was very impressive. On the contrary, the business of Li's department store was not good.

One is that the quality of their products is not as good as that of Xiao’s, and the other is that their prices are higher than those of Xiao’s, because they get the goods at a higher price, and if they really sell them at the same price as Xiao’s, they will have to lose money.

Knowing that Xiao's department store actually bought one and got one free, Uncle Li thought they were crazy.

Xiao Wang, who was also worried about this, was relieved when they came back and talked about the profits of those three days.

Gradually, the new shop returned to its former state. Not only did the business not suffer because of the removal of the place, but it got better and better.

They not only sell the goods, but also guarantee the warranty, can this be bad?

Even a lot of people from the next town come here to buy something.

But Xiao Le still likes to work in the fields with Mo Cheng in the village.

As long as it's not busy there, he doesn't want to go there.

Knowing that he was lazy, Xiao Chengyun simply got the two little cousins ​​of Uncle Xiao's family into the town. Not to mention, under Liu Sisi's suggestion, he dressed them in exactly the same clothes. The two are sweet-talking and young, and they are very attractive like.

Xiao Chengyun took the two of them with him in the shop, and at night the two little brothers stayed in the house, and Xiao Chengyun went home from time to time.

"Is it really okay this time?"

Xiao Le, who learned about Meihua's marriage from Xiao Wang, asked.

"A person who knows everything, guess who it is?"

Xiao Wang teased Xiao Le.

Xiao Le snorted lightly, with a smug face, "Where else can I know? It's not my second aunt's family, or it's from our village."

Mo Cheng, who was peeling long beans, also smiled.

"Just the dog egg of our village."

Xiao Le's face darkened, "Er Gouzi?"

"Goudan is dog egg, Ergouzi is Ergouzi," Xiao Wang stretched out his hand and smacked him on the head lightly, "Can your second aunt and the others marry their daughter to a widower? .”

"That's right," Xiao Le rubbed his head, and then picked up his little niece who likes to be dragged around recently, "There are several dogs in the village, which one is it?"

"Guess," Liu Sisi brought the glutinous melon cake, with the chrysanthemum behind her.

"Let's think about it," Xiao Le came over after washing his hands with his niece in his arms, "The one in Houcun?"

"That's right," Chrysanthemum nodded, "Brother Wu Goudan."

"It sounds really strange to call you that," Xiao Le held his little niece with one hand, and picked up a piece of glutinous melon pancake with the other, and handed it to Mo Cheng's mouth.

Liu Sisi choked for a moment, then alluded to her mother-in-law to remind her brother-in-law, but Xiao Le smiled, with a relaxed and fearless expression.

Xiao Wang really didn't take it seriously, she was still talking about the situation of Wu Goudan's family, "Their family is similar to ours, Goudan is the second child, the eldest and the eldest couple are also kind people, and the younger sister is also engaged , as soon as Meihua comes in, Wu Xiaomei will get married."

"The point is a village. Meihua can go back to her mother's house if she wants to. We will know immediately if there is anything."

Xiao Le had a good impression of Wu Goudan, and he also knew that the Xiao Fafu brothers would not let Meihua settle so quickly if they hadn't checked it out, so he was relieved.

"Next is our chrysanthemum," Xiao Wang looked at chrysanthemum with a smile, and chrysanthemum immediately hid behind Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi also said, "Chrysanthemum is still young, it's good to stay at home for a few more years, we are reluctant."

"No matter how reluctant you are, you have to have an in-law's family," Xiao Wang carried her granddaughter from Xiao Le's side, "I won't force you to see someone else, you can think about whether you like it, and don't talk about it."

Chrysanthemum pursed her lips, "I think I'll think about it after eighteen."

My sister-in-law said that getting married after eighteen is good for health.

"Eighteen?" Mrs. Xiao Wang didn't object, "Then you have to get married at Seventeen."

"...What about the little brother? It should be his turn, isn't it me?"

Seeing Xiao Le winking at her, Chrysanthemum immediately pointed at him.

Xiao Wang didn't even move his brows, "Your little brother is a boy, and he is in his seventies and eighties. As long as he has the ability, he can get married."

Xiao Le, who was eating glutinous melon cakes, suddenly looked at Xiao Wangshi. Xiao Wangshi avoided his gaze, hugging his little granddaughter and feeding him glutinous melon cakes.

Liu Sisi looked at Mo Cheng and Xiao Le, then at her mother-in-law, and understood a little.

At that moment she smiled and said, "Mother, my mother's birthday is coming soon, but she said that you must come this time and stay a few more days."

"I'll go if there's nothing to do at home."

Xiao Wang said with a smile.

"It's definitely fine." Xiao Le quickly raised his hand, "Brother Mo Cheng and I have made a wedding at home, so you can rest assured to follow your sister-in-law there to play."

"I'm worried about Mo Cheng, I'm not very worried about you and your father."

The corner of Xiao Dazhu's mouth twitched, who had always been the background board.

"Even if you lived here for a year, I can take good care of my home."

These words not only did not make Mrs. Xiao Wang happy, but pointed at him and said to the juniors in the family, "Look, this is the old man."

Liu Sisi and others burst into laughter, Xiao Dazhu still wondered what he said was wrong.

As night fell, everyone ate and sat in the yard for a while before going back to their rooms.

After Xiao Le and Mo Cheng lay silent on the bed for a while, Xiao Le sat up and took Mo Cheng's big hand to play with: "Mother knows, but she didn't poke us, and she still defended you very much."

Mo Cheng squeezed his hand, it was very light and a little itchy.

"She didn't poke it, so we don't know. What do you think?"

The hand was pinched again.

But since that day, Mo Cheng and Xiao Le have been more serious about their work than before, and they respect and love Xiao Wang's even more. When the two of them go to the market and come back, they will buy some snacks that Xiao Wang likes.

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao Wang was treated like this, but he had nothing, Xiao Dazhu was very puzzled. He had no status and no right to speak when he was not at home, so he simply went to Uncle Xiao's house with a dry cigarette in his mouth.

After hearing his complaint, Second Uncle Xiao's mouth twitched, "If you want me to say big brother, your family's life is really getting better, otherwise why do you have time to talk to me about such nonsense?"

"Is this nonsense?"

Xiao Dazhu was dissatisfied.

"Why not? Look at getting rich and getting lucky."

Second Uncle Xiao pointed to the two sons who sat around Second Aunt Xiao and helped with the work, "Look at my two daughter-in-laws."

Xiao Dazhu looked over again, the two sisters-in-law were making clothes, "It doesn't look like what they are wearing at their age."

"It was made for my wife," Second Uncle Xiao sighed, "I'm also doing work here, and they didn't say to help me. My yard still lives in the past, and you live in a new house. , There are still people in the family who do the big work, why come to me to complain about a little thing?"

"My sister-in-law had such a hard life before, but she never told my wife."

Xiao Dazhu choked, stopped sitting with the second child, and turned to Uncle Xiao's house.

Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao are peeling the long beans back. The long beans are too old and the shells are inedible and hard to chew, but the long beans inside are delicious when boiled with bacon.

Seeing that the two were busy, Xiao Dazhu held back for a while, and then went home again.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw Xiao Le standing there with a smile, "Where did the old man go?"

"...Go out for a walk."

Xiao Dazhu said in a muffled voice.

"Tsk, I also said how about letting you taste the newly bought shredded tobacco, but when I turned my head, I disappeared. Brother Mo Cheng went out to look for you, but you came back first."

"Have you bought shredded tobacco?"

Xiao Dazhu held back his joy.

"Aren't you talking about the son-in-law of the fourth uncle's family, and bought him some good shredded tobacco to show off in front of you? Can't we arrange it for you?"

Following Xiao Le into the yard, after getting the very good-tasting shredded tobacco, Xiao Dazhu smiled and sat at the gate of the yard wrapped in dry tobacco. When Mo Cheng came back and saw this scene, he also smiled.

Liu Sisi waited for Xiao Chengyun to come back in the evening and told him about it, Xiao Chengyun chuckled, "Father feels that we are all around mother, and I feel uncomfortable."

"But back then, mother was always around you, but father was around grandma."

Liu Sisi glanced at him and said, "Mother didn't complain at all at that time."

"Yeah, so we don't think there's anything wrong with wandering around mother." Xiao Chengyun smiled and kissed his daughter's cheek, "I learned it all from my father."

"Father got angry when he heard that."

Liu Sisi said with a smile.

Xiao Le deliberately said similar things in front of Xiao Dazhu. Xiao Dazhu was so angry and embarrassed that he couldn't catch up with him, and finally returned to the yard angrily with his hands behind his back, and said to Xiao Wang who was feeding his granddaughter custard.

"Xiao Le just loves to piss me off!"

"You are his old man, you can train me."

That's what Xiao Wang said, but he didn't even give the other party a look.

Xiao Dazhu sat down rationally, "How dare I, that kid holds a grudge very much, what if he won't buy me shredded tobacco in the future?"

"Then don't tell me in front of me, I will tell Xiao Le," Xiao Wang said, making Xiao Dazhu angry again.

Xiao Le provoked Xiao Dazhu, and dragged Mo Cheng back to Mo's house the next day.

Anyway, there wasn't much work at home these days, and after tidying up the house with Mo Cheng, the two of them rested for the night, and went hunting in the back mountain early the next morning.

Returning to the village in the evening can be said to be a rewarding experience.

At noon the next day, I still cooked a few tables of good dishes, and invited the old man and Ah Shan to come over for dinner.

"You are not at home often, and there are a lot more things in the forest," Ah Shan said to Mo Cheng while eating boar pork, "This time, fight more, to deter them!"

After speaking, he ate a piece of meat bitterly.

"What's going on here?"

Xiao Le whispered to A Ping who was sitting beside him.

A Ping coughed, and pointed to the location of their pigsty, "The sow ran away not long ago, and came back by herself after a few days, and gave birth to a few young wild pigs."

Xiao Le chuckled, and after being glanced at by A Shan, he immediately corrected, "It's too much!"

"No!" Ah Shan immediately patted the table, "The little flower I've raised for so long was ruined by wild boars!"

"Xiao Hua is his name," A Ping explained again in a low voice.

Brother Qing shook his head when he heard the words, "Ah Shan cried when he was matched for the first time, and raised Xiaohua like a daughter."

Mo Cheng looked at the uncomfortable Ah Shan, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, Ah Shan's eyes turned red with a cry, and after drinking a few more bowls of wine, he called himself miserable in front of everyone.

what suffering?

It's hard not to have a family.

The old people laughed a lot. Ah Shan's parents and two elder brothers felt very ashamed, so they went up to persuade them. Ah Shan cried even louder.

But after waking up the next day, Ah Shan acted as if nothing had happened.

"Did you say he forgot everything?"

Xiao Le asked Mo Cheng.

Mo Cheng thought for a while: He probably pretended.

"That's right, as long as he's not embarrassed, why should we be embarrassed?"

Xiao Le laughed out loud.

When they lived at home, they also helped to take care of Xiaohua. Xiaohua was really docile and well-groomed. Ah Shan came to see her almost every morning and evening.

Seeing that gentle face made Xiao Le's skin crawl.

Seeing this, Mo Cheng directly covered Xiao Le's eyes with his hands, Ah Shan cried out in dissatisfaction, and then bid farewell to Xiao Hua dawdly.

After the other party left, Xiao Le pulled Mo Cheng's hand and said seriously, "I have to find him a home."

Otherwise, it is really uncertain whether the other party will have a peerless pig-man relationship.

So they took Ah Shan out of the mountain.

His parents are in charge of the canteen at home, and Xiao Hua has two elder brothers to look after her. Ah Shan came out smoothly.

He was arranged in the yard rented by Xiao Le and the others.

From time to time, I can go to the shop to help.

They don't need to intervene in the rest.

When he returned to Xiao's house, he was told that he had lost weight again, and then he had a big meal of meat to make up for, and the meat that Mo Cheng carried back was also made into oily meat.

And on the second day after they went home, the big lady came.

Xiao Le and the others slipped away to Uncle Xiao's house in advance, and Xiao Wang and his granddaughter did not come out of the room.

Liu Sisi asked the girls to continue, and went to the courtyard to receive the eldest lady.

The eldest lady looked around with a smile, "I came here in a hurry last time, but I can see how beautiful this yard is."

"Big lady, this is the flower tea made by my husband-in-law. You can try it."

Liu Sisi brought the brewed scented tea.

"I'm here this time because I have a very important task. If you can continue, your reputation will spread throughout our county."

"Ma'am, please tell me."

"The new lord wants a pair of embroidery, can you do it?"

Double embroidery is double-sided embroidery.

Liu Sisi took over the job of the county master, which made everyone in the Xiao family flush with excitement.

"That's the official!"

Xiao Wang felt that he was dreaming.

"Yes, yes, my sister-in-law is amazing!"

Chrysanthemums are full of worship.

"But the east wing..."

Xiao Chengyun was worried that his wife would be too troubled.

"It's okay, I'll just embroider in the afternoon," Liu Sisi said without any pressure, "I can't say that I have accepted the job, I have to embroider a sample first, and ask the lady to bring it over. I can only accept it if I am selected."

"That will definitely win," Xiao Le said firmly.

Mo Cheng also nodded.

After all, Liu Sisi's embroidery work is really good.

"Then I'll borrow the good words from Uncle and Brother Mo," Liu Sisi said with a light smile.

Knowing that Liu Sisi would be busy in the afternoon, in order not to disturb her, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng went out to work in the afternoon.

Either go to the back mountain to cut firewood, or go to the fields to weed, or harvest glutinous melons, anyway, I don’t stay at home.

A month later, Liu Sisi was taken to the county by the old lady's carriage, and when she returned the next day, two women carefully moved a large box into Liu Sisi's room.

"That's embroidered cloth," Liu Sisi explained to them after they left.

"Then let me take the child first these days," Xiao Wang said immediately.

"That's hard work, girl."

Liu Sisi also knows the seriousness, children are very playful now, if one is not careful, it will cause trouble, she is clear.

When it was time to deliver the goods again, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng started to run around, and when they returned to the department store in the town, they saw Ah Shan talking and laughing with a young man. The corner of the person's mouth twitched slightly.

Ah Shan who found them waved at them.

At this time, the young man has been sent out of the shop by Ah Shan and left.

"I like him," Ah Shan said with bright eyes. "He likes men just like me. There are no elders in the family. He has a brother and a sister below him, both of whom are still young."

I understand all these.

"Do we need help?"

Xiao Le asked.

Ah Shan shook his head, "I can do it myself, I can do it."

As a result, half a month later, Ah Shan dragged them to drink and cried, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...""

I cried for most of the night, and fell asleep the next day, and woke up like a ghost at night, scaring my two cousins.

Mo Cheng slapped him directly.

Xiao Le was taken aback, but Ah Shan's face was full of gratitude, "It's because I'm too stubborn, I'm just a man, and I made myself like this for him! Am I still Ah Shan?"

So he cheered up quickly. When Liu Sisi sent the double-sided embroidery to the county, Ah Shan had fully recovered. Even if he met the man in the town, he greeted him very calmly. They were still friends, but Ah Shan did not. Then I will get so close to others as before, and want to get close to each other so much.

But Xiao Le and Mo Cheng were a little worried.

Because Ah Shan is not someone who says he can let go.

Until that day when they sent meat to Ah Shan and his cousin, it was cold and it was good to eat more meat.

"what is this?"

Xiao Le grabbed Ah Shan who was looking at the album.

There are no words on it, and it is full of very rough paintings. Not only are the pictures inside rough, but the paper is not that good, and it is not expensive at first glance.

"Ahem," Ah Shan rubbed his nose guiltily, and when he met Mo Cheng's eyes, he scratched his head, "There are all good things in this, I will follow what's in it, and I won't provoke him anymore, what will happen? ? His eyes changed when he saw me!"

The hesitant look in his eyes made Ah Shan feel that he had succeeded a little.

"You want him to regret it and find out that he likes you?"

Xiao Le summed it up, that is the standard equipment for chasing wives and crematoriums.

"Almost," Ah Shan nodded, and brushed his long hair confidently, "I, Ah Shan, is such a good man, how could he miss it!"

Xiao Le and Mo Cheng: ... Sure enough, their worries are not unreasonable.
