Fight the Giants

  Chapter 16 He is back

  In the next few days, Huo Xi and Yang Fu began to deliver the goods to the homes of those who placed the order.

  Of course there are orders lost. Or deny it, or make various excuses. Huo Xidu smiled, only saying that he remembered wrongly. Did not care.

   The demand is strong, and she is not worried about not being able to sell. There are people rushing to ask for a price increase.

  By the morning of the eighth day of the eighth day, except for the small crabs under two taels, the rest were emptied, and even the large crabs with more than four taels that had been raised for a few days were sold at high prices.

  Yang Fuxi was so happy that he refused to walk properly. Don't jump around. This meeting is finally in the mood to see the excitement of the inner city.

  Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and the capital, which has undergone a bloodbath, has already given off new vitality.

  Since the Yan army entered the city in June and the new emperor ascended the throne in July, although the court is still turbulent and turbulent, the festive atmosphere inside and outside the capital has been created to be festive and lively.

   The common people don't care about the change of imperial power, as long as they don't fight wars and have food and drink, they feel that their lives are stable.

   Xu is the first festival that the new emperor enters the capital to celebrate with the people. On the north-south royal road in the inner city, golden chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the whole city is covered with golden armor.

  Pedestrians in the market were crowded with each other, making noise.

   A scene of prosperity and prosperity.

  Huo Xi and Yang Fu were relaxed after selling the crabs. After shopping around, I found an inconspicuous tea shop in the inner city to rest and listen to some news and gossip.

   After sitting for half an hour, Huo Xi came out.

Seeing her drooping head, Yang Fu thought that she felt sorry for today's tea money: "Today's tea money is twice as much as last time! One tael of tea foam can make several large pots of tea. I'm really unscrupulous. Next time We're not going to have tea there."

  Huo Xi turned a deaf ear and walked heavily.

He is back. He's back from the North.

   Isn't he stationed in Yandi? In the battle of Jingnan, it is said that he fought bravely, served as the vanguard of the Yan army, captured the Nine Gates of Beiping, and defeated the commander of the Southern Army. And his Laozi, one is good at fighting and the other is good at planning. Now I heard that he has been promoted to the commander of the capital.

  Why did you come back suddenly?

   Yuan's wife passed away and never came back, but now she is coming back. Congratulations for his eldest son's first birthday? Banquet guests?

   Hey, I forgot, the eldest son of the concubine is already the eldest son of the first line. The first birthday of the eldest son of Xinchenghou's mansion, the future Xinchenghou, should be celebrated with great fanfare.

   Just, why can't I breathe.

   "Xi'er, Xi'er? What's wrong with you?"

   "Maybe too tired. I'll sit and take it easy."

  When Yang Fu heard this, he nervously helped her to sit on the weeds beside the road, touched her forehead and pinched her arms and legs.

  Huo Xi followed him, only biting his lip and not speaking, his heart was full of undercurrents.

   Yang Fu turned around in a hurry, "Why don't uncle carry you to the medical clinic to show the doctor?" Could it be that the last illness was not cured?

  Huo Xi shook his head. After resting for a while, she grabbed his hand and stood up, smiling at him.

   Laughing is uglier than crying. Yang Fu sized her up, and suddenly squatted in front of her: "Come up, uncle will carry you back."

  Huo Xi refused, but he couldn't persuade him. Let him carry on the back for a while, and seeing his staggering steps, he calmed down, got off his back, and let him lead him back to his own black-covered boat.

  After hearing what Yang Fu said, both Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai were so anxious that they wanted to take her to the doctor's clinic. In the past few days, the child is probably very tired.

  Huo Xi didn't want them to worry, and only comforted them by saying that it would be good to sleep. He also said to count the money he earned in the past few days, and asked Yang Fu to count the money he earned today.

   Seeing that her expression was back to normal, the husband and wife were a little relieved, and then counted the copper coins.

   With this count, I found that the previous two and a half of the capital, plus the three taels for selling the bracelet, turned into thirty-two taels after a few days of work!

  The couple and Yang Fu couldn't believe it, "There are so many?"

Huo Xi nodded, "It's not all earned by harvesting crabs. There is also a part of it that Dad got from fishing for crabs these days. Dad didn't catch fish these days, but only caught crabs. The other part is money from others. "So, thirty-two taels is not much.

  Why not many!

   Yang and Huo Erhuai have been saving for so many years, but they have never seen so much money.

   "This, is it really earned by us?" The family sat around in the cabin, and in the small circle in the middle, there was a pile of broken silver and copper plates.

  Huo Xi smiled: "Mom, you and Dad have counted several times, there are still fakes."

   "Father, you pinch me."

  Huo Erhuai really squeezed her hard, Yang groaned, thinking he was using too much force, while staring happily at the pile of money, he didn't know how to put his hands and feet.

He began to babble: "On six taels, I went to the village to buy a two-acre homestead, and built a big vegetable garden. I built a mud house on fifteen taels, so that we could keep warm in winter. Take out two taels to add a set of belongings. , one or two repairs to the boat..."

  Yang Fu then dialed the silver: "Five taels to buy another pair of silver bracelets for sister, and another pair for Xi'er..."

  Huo Erhuai looked at it with a smile, only feeling that better days are coming. He has earned more in these few days than he has earned in ten years.

  Mr. Yang was interrupted by Yang Fu, and suddenly stopped.

  Put the money together again and push it to Huo Xi: "Xi'er, I'll give it all to you. This money is all earned by you, and it's up to you to distribute it. Our family will use it as you say."

  Mr. Yang's eyes on Huo Xi are full of stars. This child is really different from them. Just a few days of hard work allowed them to earn money that they could not earn in ten years.

  Huo Erhuai also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, your mother is right, Xi'er has the final say on the money."

  Huo Xi shook his head: "Father, mother, do it according to your ideas. I have no objection."

  Seeing Huo Xiyan, the husband and wife glanced at each other, then at Yang Fu, Yang Fu gave him an innocent look.

   Seeing that she didn't express her opinion, she had no choice but to say: "Then father and mother will keep the money first. If Xi'er has any ideas or wants to do something, just tell her parents, and there will be no response from parents."

   "Thank you Dad, Mom."

Huo Erhuai glanced at her, and suggested: "Everyone has worked hard these past few days, especially Xi'er and Fu'er, who walk around the streets and alleys without a break, so let's take this opportunity to have a rest on the Double Ninth Festival tomorrow. How about we also take a look at the scenery and climb high? Let’s go to Qixia Mountain in the morning, didn’t we say ‘climb Qixia Holy Land in autumn’, we will go there too.”

   Mrs. Yang responded immediately, and Yang Fu was so anxious that he put his legs back and knelt down, yelling, wishing he could clean up now.

  Huo Xi shook his head: "Father, I want to go to the inner city tomorrow. I heard that there is a family of the Marquis, who will hold a birthday party for their son tomorrow, with a big banquet for guests. I heard that the happy money that will be distributed tomorrow will be more than a dozen baskets."

   "Yes, I heard that too!"

  Yang Fu slapped his head, remembering the news he heard at the tea shop. Did Xi'er originally want to pick up Xiqian? That must be accompanied by him. Otherwise, with Xi'er's small body, she might be pushed to the ground and stepped on in just one round.

"Everyone who got the news rushed over. It's a mess. How much money can you pick up? Or don't go. Tomorrow we will climb Qixia Mountain. Your brother-in-law hasn't said in ten years that he will take us out for a stroll. We will go out tomorrow. The whole family climbed up."

  Seeing that Huo Xi lowered his head and said nothing, Huo Erhuai looked at Yang Shi: "If the children want to watch the excitement, let them go. Let's go to Qixia Mountain next time. There will probably be many people climbing tomorrow, so let's not crowd them."

  Mr. Yang gave him a twist, it was you who said to go, and you who said not to go.

   "Sister, brother-in-law, then I will take Xi'er into the city to watch the excitement tomorrow. I am also happy."
