Aotian the domesticated miniature dragon

"It's my mother's backyard." Lu Qianshan shook the water off his hands and said with a smile, "Aunt Huang, what kind of joy did you hear again?"

Aunt Huang sneered, patted the sole of the shoe she was holding in her hand and said, "What are you listening to, I'm here to ask your mother to get the sole of the shoe together. This old man is a useless shoe, so I'll take advantage of the free time now." Dona a few pairs of soles to make shoes for your uncle and brother."

Mrs. Zhou heard the movement in front of her in the backyard and came out to meet her.In fact, it would be difficult to reach the backyard with the voice of ordinary people. After all, the yards here are large, and the size of the house can be as small as an acre of land.This is also because there are many children now, and they all hope to live together. It is also convenient to build a house after enclosing a large yard.In the village there are those four generations living under the same roof, who have built [-] small houses one after the other, and they are all enclosed in a courtyard, which is very lively.

"Dazhu's family, are you here?" Mrs. Zhou rubbed the soil on her hands and smiled, "Come in and sit, the room is warm." In a blink of an eye, she saw Lu Qianshan who was washing clothes, and hurried over, "The water is very cold, what to wash?" Ah, go and rest. You are so weak now that you cannot touch cold water."

Lu Qianshan couldn't laugh or cry: "Mom, I'm much better. Besides, I'm the only man in this yard. If I don't wash it, why don't you and my sister-in-law wash it? Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

"We're in good health." Zhou still didn't want to let Lu Qianshan touch the cold water.

Lu Qianshan had no choice but to say: "Then I'll go to the house and boil a pot of hot water to warm the room. It won't be cold if you sit with your body."

After working hard for a long time, Mrs. Zhou finally agreed to let Lu Qianshan wash his clothes in hot water.

Aunt Huang looked enviously, and said: "Sister-in-law, your children are really hardworking. It's a good thing to let their family go. Why can't they earn their own money by working so hard? Let me say... ..." She glanced at Lu Qianshan, who was going to hold the firewood, and lowered her voice, "Shouldn't Qianshan marry that family in the first place, as a dowry from his family? It's only twenty taels, not shameful enough. I think it's the old lady who saw her Not at your house."

Zhou sighed sadly, she washed her hands with the water in the basin, and said: "Go inside, don't tell this here, let the children hear it, it's uncomfortable."

Now the east room also burns firewood, and the Lu family couple sleeps on the kang with the four younger ones. At night, they boil hot water to wash their faces and feet, and the room is warm.As for Lu Qianfan and his wife, they also temporarily moved to the main house, living in the West Room, but they are young and strong, so they don't need to burn the kang for the time being, and they can save some firewood.However, Lu Guangming went to burn a kang for Lu Qianshan every day, and he didn't burn too much, just chopping firewood.He was afraid of freezing his own children.

Mrs. Zhou cleaned up the east room, and rolled up the quilts and put them on the top of the kang cabinet. On the kang, there were a few futons woven with sticks and leather, and two baskets for needlework.The plate on the kang table contained some mountain fruits, such as pears, persimmons, and red fruits. People in the village are not very rare, but they are sweet things anyway, so no one dislikes them.

Mrs. Zhou grabbed the red fruit and put it in front of Aunt Huang, and said with a smile, "You came here so early in the morning, did you really come to ask me for the soles of your shoes?"

Aunt Huang chuckled, "It's a daily routine, and besides, I came here because I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable these days. If you are in a hurry, I will ignore you."

Mrs. Zhou just laughed, and she took the scissors from the sewing basket to cut the shoe soles for shoe soles.

Aunt Huang ate two red fruits, heard Lu Qianshan packing up the firewood and lighting the stove outside, she leaned up to Mrs Zhou and whispered: "Yesterday, the old woman scolded the street for half the night, and even got into a fight with Lu Datian, oh, oh, scary The child was crying. Early this morning, the fifth member of their family packed up their things and took the child back to her mother's house. Lu Datian went to the village to ask a carpenter to repair the windows of their house, and he has a dark face."

Mrs. Zhou snorted, and said: "It's not counting that they cheated my family. They also wanted to harm my son. They just smashed the windows to make them cheaper."

Aunt Huang said: "You're right to think so. The old woman was here before, so I couldn't come to you and talk to you, but I tried to persuade you when I took the time, and you have to listen. You have to do something bad to understand."

Zhou's eye circles started to turn red again, she raised her hand to rub the corners of her eyes, her voice trembling, "What can I do? His father said that in the future we can be honored by that scholar, and I think that in the future, if a scholar becomes an official, he will give his family A few children find a way out, but who knows..."

"Can you pull it down? Find a way for you? Who are you?" Aunt Huang said angrily: "The second and third families of their family are working hard. Aren't those two families all the work in the field? The son brought the children to make a fuss? Oh, the old fourth family occasionally helps out, but look, how do they live? Their faces are yellow when they are tired, and they are scolded all day long. The boss of their family is a scholar, the old lady The gangsters of the four families don't hesitate to hob meat, and scolding is ignored. The fifth child is an old son, but also a child. His wife has some money in her pocket, and the old woman likes it, so naturally she is reluctant to scold. Just scold the second child's follower all day long. From the third family. Look at the second child’s family, they are so thin, I looked at it... Humph. Do you think they can’t take advantage of their own family, so they can let you, who sells five clothes, take advantage of it?”

Mrs. Zhou sighed, "Didn't I be blinded by cow dung at that time? I just stubbornly thought that what people told us was for our own good. If I said I was greedy, I really didn't want to touch it. When I was with Erya, I couldn’t even eat meat. It was because his father went to the town to find a job in the county, and bought a few buns with the boss for me to eat, otherwise there would be no milk. I don’t know what happened at that time Thinking about it, I feel that I have to work harder, and we will be able to benefit from the talents of their family. In fact, can my children not feel sorry for themselves? Ever since Dashanshan got angry, my heart suddenly became clear. "

Aunt Huang also sighed, and said, "Your second child must have been forced into a hurry. He starves people like that. The Ni Bodhisattva still has a bit of a rustic temperament."

"What's wrong? That little aunt's speech is very ugly. The girl who is only 14 years old has her mouth like her mother's. She can't even listen to her words." Zhou cut off a few pairs of insoles, and found another piece of cloth. Come stretch the edge. "Isn't it just that I think my Shanshan is good-looking, and I'm afraid that he will marry well, so I can do my best. Why? Even if he is divorced, he will still be my son. If others don't love me, I will love him."

Lu Qianshan was on fire outside, although there was very little movement in the house, he heard it all.He had never seen his parents in his whole life before. Now that he came to this place, he thought his parents were troublesome at first, but now he heard Zhou's words, but he felt warm in his heart.

He felt that the reason why God sent him into this world was probably to let him experience this kind of fate between parents and brothers.He remembered that when he was a little beggar before, he saw that other people's children were cared by their parents, and he felt envious in his heart.But now he also has parents who love him, and his brother and sister-in-law also take good care of him, and his younger siblings are all sensible and cute, which makes him a little unbearable.

At noon, Lu Guangming came back with the children, and besides bundles of firewood and a few baskets of wild and red fruits, he also brought back good news, "Old Cheng said that the five acres of his family will be sold, and the house will also be sold. It is said that his son has made a lot of money doing business in Fucheng, and he wants them to enjoy the blessings in the past."

Lao Cheng is an outsider. He was only in his teens when he escaped from disaster and came here.Later, he married a girl from the village, built a few adobe houses, and saved a few acres of land.His family gave birth to a son and a daughter. The daughter married into the county. The son went out to do business when he was in his teens. It looks like it should be doing well.Now it seems that he bought a house in Fucheng and officially settled down.

Lu Guangming was very excited, and said during the meal, "I saw the five acres of land, and my second uncle took me to see it. It is next to our house. He said that he bought it from the grandfather before, and now we are buying it again." Come back. It’s all good land. Some cabbage was planted in the field and everything was confiscated. They said no. There was also a half-acre water puddle beside the land. They fished out a lot of fish. The puddles were also bought by their family to irrigate the land, and now they are sold to our family for 100 taels of silver."

The second uncle is the village head Wang Ronghua.

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "That's a good relationship, so hurry up and buy it. I've already fallen in love with that puddle, and when the weather is warmer, I set up a tent around the puddle to grow beans, squash and so on. Our children like to eat it." fruit, and touch a few good fruit trees over there."

"Plant some more lotus in the water." Lu Qianshan followed suit.

"You can plant whatever you want," Lu Guangming drank three bowls of sweet potato sticky porridge and four thick stick noodle pancakes, pushing away the bowl to fill his stomach. Hurry up and sign the deed. Later, I have to go to the county to exchange for the red deed.”

Zeng Hongmei suddenly said: "Father, mother, is that talented lady in their family a girl from the chief bookkeeper's family in the town?"

Mrs. Zhou was taken aback, "Yes, didn't you just get married this year? Ouch! Do you think the master will not exchange red deeds for us?"

When these words came out, the whole family was a little stunned.

Lu Qianshan said with a smile, "I won't change it anywhere? It's not that we don't give money. But this has to be done secretly, so we don't let their family know. If we know, we may not be able to make trouble for us." He now has eyeliner and ears Repay the gods, you can know in advance if there is any movement in that house, and you can take precautions when you know it, and you won't be afraid.

Lu Guangming said: "Yes, you have to keep a low profile. Shanshan, Dad took the cake you made to the village chief as a gift, and asked him to help us get the ones in the village, so that others will know."

Lu Qianshan smiled and said, "There's only one bowl of cake left, so what's the point? Bring a dozen or so eggs, and Mother will grab a handful of coppers for Dad, and go cut strips of meat and bring them back together."

"How old are you, you are not as sensible as a child." Mrs. Zhou gave Lu Guangming a white look, turned over and went to the cabinet to get a money box.

Lu Guangming grinned, picked up the gift basket prepared by Mrs. Zhou, bought meat with the copper coins, and went directly to the village chief's house.The village chief finished the white deed in one afternoon, took the note here, signed it with one hand and paid the money with the other.Decided to go to town tomorrow to change the red deed.

In the evening, the female ghost Hong Juan'er floated back and said: "Master, that family found out about our family's purchase of land. Let their fourth son go to the county town tomorrow to tell the master that it will make things difficult for you."
