After the big fool gets married

At the end of November, the county school did not rest.

Because, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the annual holiday is officially off.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the seventh day, after listening to the last class, the students in the county had already started packing their things and preparing to go home.

Liu Siyuan packed the few clothes he had in a small bag, and bid farewell to everyone with the bookcase.

Perhaps because of the sympathy for each other, the relationship between Wu Wentao and Liu Siyuan became very close during this time.He hugged Liu Siyuan's shoulders, and reluctantly said goodbye for a long time.

Wu Xuan couldn't stand it anymore, and dragged him over, "It's almost done, it's not safe to walk at night when it's dark."

Only then did Wu Wentao wave his hand and send Liu Siyuan out the door.

Wu Xuan said: "Wen Tao and Xiu Zhu, you two will be waiting at the gate tomorrow, and Wen Shou will drive us back to the village."

"Are you driving the newly bought carriage?" Wu Wentao's eyes lit up, "The boy Wenshou came to give me something last time, and I saw his new carriage. It has a mahogany frame, black It's a tall horse, very impressive!"

Wu Xuan smiled and said, "Do you want it?"

"I want it! Of course I want it!" Wu Wentao said excitedly, but he also knew that he couldn't afford it. "I only have six buckets of rice every month, and I can't even support myself. How can I have money to raise horses?"

Wu Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said nothing.

The next day, Wu Wenshou went to the house on Guangping Road to pick up Wu Xuan and Doudou, and then went around to the main entrance of the county school.

Wu Wentao and Yang Xiuzhu were waiting at the door with their luggage. When they saw the carriage approaching, Wu Wentao rushed over excitedly, "Why are there two horses? Wow, this horse is maroon!"

Wu Xuan jumped out of the car and helped them carry their luggage with Wu Wenshou.

This carriage is very big, in addition to the compartment for people in the middle, there is also a half-meter-wide space on both sides to put things.

After putting away the luggage, Wu Wentao was still reluctant to get into the carriage, staring at the two horses and couldn't take his eyes off.

"If you don't want to come in, you can drive outside with Wenshou!" Wu Xuan said helplessly.

"Okay!" Wu Wentao responded excitedly, and sat on the wooden board in front of the carriage.

Wu Xuan shook his head, and entered the carriage with Yang Xiuzhu.There are two rows of seats in the carriage, all of which are covered with thick floral cotton cushions, which at first glance is the aesthetics of Aunt Tian.

Doudou was sitting on the left side, wearing a thick cloak over the padded robe, holding a small hand stove in her hand, and a slightly larger one on her lap.

As soon as the two came in, Wu Xuan immediately closed the car curtain tightly and asked Doudou, "Isn't it cold?"

Doudou shook his head with difficulty, the cap of the cloak was so heavy, and the clothes were so heavy that he couldn't even move.

Wu Xuan sat down beside Doudou, and shouted outside: "Wen Shou, you can go."

The carriage rolled on its wheels.

Yang Xiuzhu sat alone on the other side of the carriage, looking down at the grain of the wooden boards on the ground.

Seeing that his face was flushed from the cold, Doudou picked up the hand stove on his lap and handed it to him, "I brought two hand stoves, but I don't need this one."

Yang Xiuzhu didn't expect that Doudou would take the initiative to talk to him, he raised his head suddenly, without daring to look at Doudou, he stammered and refused: "No, no need, I'm not cold."

"Alright then." Doudou withdrew her hand.Wearing too many layers of clothes, he struggled to raise his arms, "Brother Xuan, can I take off the cloak."

"It's too cold outside, what if you catch a cold if you take it off?" Wu Xuan disagreed.

"But it's so heavy, and it's not cold in the carriage, I'm going to sweat." Doudou looked at Wu Xuan pitifully, "I'll put it on when I get out of the carriage, okay?"

Wu Xuan touched Doudou's protruding cheek with the back of his hand, it was indeed not cold.He stood up and untied Doudou's cloak, "Take it off and put it on your legs."

Doudou nodded obediently.

Wu Xuan helped him take off the cloak, covered his legs, and put the hand stove on top of the cloak.

"Huh, it's much easier!" Doudou stuck out the tip of her tongue at Wu Xuan mischievously.

"I'm not worried about you, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."

"I know, Brother Xuan is the best."

-

The horse-drawn carriage was much faster than the ox cart, and the group arrived near Wujia Village in only half an hour.

Wu Xuan shouted to the outside: "Wen Shou, go to Yang Family Village first."

"Alright!" Wu Wentao's voice came from outside.It seems that he really likes these two horses, and he has competed with Wu Wenshou for the driver's position.

There are two villages between Yangjiacun and Wujiacun.If it was summer, Yang Xiuzhu could be placed directly at the entrance of Wujia Village and let him go back by himself.But now it's winter, the snow has just fallen, and Yang Xiuzhu is carrying so much luggage, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back alone.

After all, they had been classmates for half a year, and the four of them in the same room got along pretty well, so naturally Wu Xuan couldn't just throw them away.

In Wu Xuan's eyes, Yang Xiuzhu is a very introverted person with no sense of presence.He always followed them silently, rarely expressed his opinion, and never asked for anything, for fear of causing trouble to others.

If Wu Xuan didn't say this, Yang Xiuzhu would really carry his luggage to the entrance of the village to look for an ox cart.

When the carriage arrived at Yangjia Village, it stopped at the main road at the entrance of the village, and two families further inside were Yang Xiuzhu's family.

Wu Xuan waved his hand at him, "See you in the next year!"

Yang Xiuzhu got out of the carriage, Wu Wentao and Wu Wenshou helped him unload his luggage, and said a few words of farewell.Wu Xuan didn't get out of the car because he was worried that Doudou would catch cold if he opened the curtain frequently.

People in Yangjia Village recognized Yang Xiuzhu, and they gathered around to find out whose carriage it was, and they used two horses.

Yang Xiuzhu only said that he was a classmate of the county school, but did not disclose specific information.

-

Wu Wenshou drove back to Wujiacun, and went to Wu Wentao's house first.But the carriage only stopped at the intersection and did not go in.

Wu Wentao asked suspiciously, "Wen Shou, why don't you go inside? I'm tired of carrying luggage for such a long distance."

I sent Yang Xiuzhu to the intersection just now because Yang Xiuzhu has a very difficult sister, so I didn't go there to avoid trouble.But he has no sister, why not send him home?

Wu Wenshou jumped off the car and said, "Brother Tao, come with me!"

Wu Wentao got out of the car in a daze.

Wu Wenshou took off the noose from the claret horse, took off the rein and handed it to Wu Wentao, saying, "Brother Da Tang bought this horse for you."

Wu Wentao held the rein and stood there dumbfounded.

Wu Wenshou unloaded Wu Wentao's luggage, put it on the ground, got into the car and planned to leave.

Only then did Wu Wentao come back to his senses, and shouted, "Brother Hall, what's going on?"

Wu Xuan poked his head out from the curtain of the car, "Brother gave you the New Year's gift, please accept it! By the way, remember to tell uncle that Doudou and I have been traveling all the way in the carriage and need to rest, so we won't go out for a few days I'll pay New Year's greetings to his old man in a few days."

"This, this new year's gift is too—" Wu Wentao felt that the reins in his hand were burning hot.From childhood to adulthood, the most New Year's money he ever received was only [-] Wen.A horse costs at least a hundred taels of silver.Moreover, he is already such an adult, how old is he?

Wu Xuan gave him a look full of encouragement and trust, "I will leave the heavy responsibility of persuading uncle to you. I believe you can do it." When uncle accepts the horse, he will rest and go out. Happy New Year.

After Wu Xuan finished speaking, he motioned for Wu Wenshou to leave quickly.

If the uncle catches him spending money recklessly, he will definitely be nagging him for hours.Let Wu Wentao, his own son, enjoy such things that promote the relationship between father and son.
