???? On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Aunt Xiao came back with her three daughters.

???? I carried two catties of red dates, two boxes of simple furnace fruits, and a little rooster.

???? This is the best return gift she can give.

????Old boss Xiao didn't dislike it. He entertained his sister and nieces and daughters for a good meal, and stayed at home for another night. When he left the next day, he brought a pork leg for his sister. pig head.

????Old Aunt Xiao secretly gave her two taels of silver, and grandiosely took two bolts of blue-dyed cloth for her to take back.

???? Don't let Aunt Xiao suffer, her mother's family will make a face for her, at least it will be easier in Lao Meng's house.

????Even Brother Xiao brought two boxes of snacks, one bag of sugar and one bag of twisted doughnuts for the three cousins.

???? Tie Qing gave Aunt Xiao two air-dried rabbits and four frozen pheasants, which were just right for making soup.

???? This year, Tie Qing still hasn't seen Aunt Xiao's fabled husband, uncle Meng.

After seeing off Aunt Xiao, Old Xiao Boss took Tie Qing to start visiting. The first house was of course the old Wei village chief's house, and Tie Qing also prepared generous gifts, followed by Old Sixth Uncle Xiao and Eighth Old Xiao. Uncle came to see Old Chief Xiao.

???? Zhang Liniang is a new daughter-in-law, and she is very particular about visiting. Old Aunt Xiao brought her a piece of red muslin.

????Old boss Xiao gave his nephew [-] catties of pork and a bunch of [-] brand new copper coins.

???? In the next few days, some people from Lao Xiao’s house also came to visit Lao Boss, but Lao Xiao’s house has no males, only a brother Xiao, who can’t set up a household, so those who need to go out and take the initiative to come to salute are all old Head Xiao went in person, and Tie Qing followed him around, kind of taking him around.

???? On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, colorful paper lanterns were pasted up in the house. Five colors were used for the boxy ones. On the fourteenth day, they were hung on the door with a suet candle inside.

???? And Tie Qing bought a small lotus lantern and hung it under the window for Brother Xiao.

????The small lantern is not big but it is much more beautiful than the ones made at home. It was lit up for a whole night, and my heart was warmed up all night.

???? Farmers have passed the fifteenth year, even if they have passed the New Year.

???? But the weather in the Northeast is cold, not to mention the first month, even in February, the soil is also frozen. It will take March to prepare the land and finish planting before the Dragon Boat Festival.

???? After the fifteenth day, Aunt Xiao searched all the meat in the house, and had to destroy it before thawing, otherwise it would be easy to spoil.

???? The two hams that Tie Qing bought can be eaten slowly, after all, those things can't be spoiled.

???? When February [-]nd, the family had a meal of pork head, Tie Qing planned to go up to the mountain to have a look, but the old boss Xiao disagreed: "At this moment, when the wild beasts in the mountain are also green and yellow, what are you going to do? Let’s go after enlightenment.”

???? "Then go buy some bricks, stones and wood. The house will be built in the spring." Tie Qing said: "I have to go to the quarry."

????The quarry here is only available in the next county, so the journey is longer, and it may take three to five days for the ashes to go. fbjq.

???? "Then go drive!" Old boss Xiao took the initiative to mention this matter.

???? "I don't want to drive the carriage, I'll go alone, let's go on a horse." Tie Qing said: "I wanted to ride a donkey, but the donkey has to pull the mill, so I just go on a horse, and go back quickly when the time comes."

???? "Can you still ride a horse?" Lao Boss Xiao's eyes widened.

???? It is true to raise horses in rural areas, but there are not many people who can ride horses.

???? "Yes, ride once in a while." In fact, Tie Qing would rather run by himself, his speed is fast, a person with supernatural abilities in the last days, if he is not fast, he would have been eaten by zombies long ago.

???? But he can't go on his own legs, and it's obvious that the time will not be right for a back and forth, so he can only ride on horseback.

???? Driving a car is too troublesome. He has a living space for all things, and there are things in it.

???? "Then go on a horse ride. It's more convenient for you to go on the road alone." Old boss Xiao agreed: "But remember to bring two big clothes, if you sleep in the open, you will suffer."

???? At the moment the spring breeze is blowing, it is very cold, the northeast spring breeze is chilling to the bone.

???? "Well, there is a wolf fur cloak." Tie Qing nodded: "That's enough."

????The so-called "wolf fur cloak" is a cloak made of three wolf skins joined together, with a hood. In the tree nest and snow nest, you can sleep warmly.

???? In fact, Tie Qing doesn't plan to sleep in the open at all. If he rides a horse, he can go to the quarry in the next county in one day.

???? He mainly went there to order stone materials. The house he wanted to build was different from the current one, and it was bound to cost money and materials, especially stones, which were essential.

???? At the end of the world, everything changed except the stones. The reason why their survival base is durable is that there are three large quarries next to their survival base. Their bases are made of stones. The city wall built by bricks was strong until the end, protecting hundreds of millions of living beings.

???? That's why Tieqing is so persistent, he must use stones.

????Even if the stones in the quarry are actually very expensive, the freight is even more expensive!

????Earlier, stones were used to lay the foundation, which cost a lot of money. This time, he simply went to the quarry next door to buy them directly.

???? He used the stones he bought from Erdao dealers to lay the foundation.

???? "Okay, you can figure it out, remember to bring some money and hide it." Old boss Xiao also told him: "When the time comes to stay at the inn, remember to ask someone to feed the horse some good food."

???? "Of course." Tie Qing nodded: "It's all about the horse's foot strength."

???? Tie Qing packed up his things the next day, filled the water tank at home, and got all the firewood ready. When he was having dinner at night, Aunt Xiao specially made pickled cabbage stewed big goose for him: "Eat more Son, if it's not inconvenient on the road, I'll bring you food."

???? "It's okay, I brought dried meat and steamed buns." Tie Qing lowered his head, and used his useless chopsticks to hold the goose leg to Brother Xiao: "Eat."

???? Xiao Geer pursed his mouth happily: "Yeah! Eat."

???? After a whole winter, Brother Xiao has gained some weight, but he is still a little thin.

????Old boss Xiao coughed lightly, and Aunt Xiao gave him a big goose wing root: "Eat, eat!"

???? Tie Qing's heart moved. After more than a year, he gradually felt that this home is very good, very warm, and Brother Xiao is also good. If Old Xiao and the others don't object...he has to build a good house , buy a car, buy a horse, buy some family business, and then you are eligible to propose marriage!

???? I clicked my mouth, sauerkraut is also delicious.

???? The fat raised by the big geese was killed last year and buried in snowdrifts. Now it has to be eaten.

???? After dinner, Tie Qing asked them: "Is there anything you want to bring back?"

???? "You go on horseback, what do you bring? Just go early and come back early, and you have to have all your tails." Old Xiao Boss waved his hand: "Hurry up and go to rest."

???? Tie Qing nodded: "Okay."

???? However, Tie Qing still plans to buy something to come back, after all, he is going on a long trip.

???? You have to bring some special products back as souvenirs.
