Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

Woof woof woof...

I'm coming!

Yang Ge wiped his hands and walked quickly from the backyard into the front yard. When he saw Xiao Huang standing behind the courtyard door with his tail wagging enthusiastically, he knew who was coming.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw shopkeeper Liu standing outside the courtyard door with his hands behind his back.

What are you bothering with?

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the dirt on his body and asked with a smile.

Yang Ge quickly turned to the side and warmly invited the old man to come in: You are here at the right time. I have rented the yard behind and am planning to build a small vegetable plot and raise some chickens and ducks. Come and take a look.

Um?

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at him in surprise. The probing look in his eyes quickly dissipated as soon as it appeared. He pulled Yang Ge and said, Stop working. We are busy today. Come and take a look next time... Come, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we should celebrate the solar terms!

The old man smiled and took out a tightly tied oil paper bag with the words moon cake written on it in red paper, and stuffed it into Yang Ge's arms.

There was only a little bit of residual warmth left in the oiled paper bag, but when Yang Ge held it in his hand, he felt like he was holding a stove.

He tried his best to pull up the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: Look at my memory, I have forgotten that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is really rude to ask you to come here to give me moon cakes.

Looking at his ugly smile, shopkeeper Liu did not expose him, but just smiled and waved his hands and said: We men don't care about this, but you should go for a walk. There will be a temple fair at the Chenghuang Temple tonight. All the big girls and young girls will go there, and you can go shopping too. Don’t spend your whole life locked up at home competing with this little yard!

Yang Ge nodded in agreement, and finally asked the old man to sit down and drink tea again.

Don't sit down anymore, we have a lot to do today!

The old man shook his head, every wrinkle on his face was relaxed, and even the lines on his forehead were filled with joy: We are here today to treat you on behalf of Brother Fufu, and tomorrow I will be your brother Fufu's family member. Let’s go to the woman’s house and get hired together!”

Yang Ge's eyes widened in surprise and he said happily: Is it settled?

The old man nodded with a smile: The second daughter of the butcher Deng's family in Dongshi, she has a fierce temperament, is diligent and thrifty, and is a perfect match for your wealthy brother!

Yang Ge quickly clasped his hands: Congratulations to the host, congratulations to the young host, our inn will no longer have to worry about not being able to buy good pork!

The old man was obviously so happy that his face almost turned into a chrysanthemum, and he waved his hands pretending to be unhappy: Hey, we family members, please don't talk like these outsiders, come here early tomorrow, dress smarter, and talk to your rich brother Let’s go to the bride’s house to recruit her. My in-laws will have enough food and clothing, so it’s a good thing. We can’t lose our etiquette...

Yang Ge opened his mouth and wanted to accept the matter, but after going through the matter quickly in his mind, he hesitated.

Shopkeeper Liu saw his hesitant look and asked doubtfully: What, do you have anything else to do tomorrow? Can you push it aside, nothing else is more important than our import event!

Yang Ge thought for a while, then reached out and pulled the old shopkeeper under the grape trellis: Don't be impatient. Let's sit down and talk slowly!

Shopkeeper Liu was a little annoyed, but he still followed Yang Ge's words and walked to sit under the grape trellis.

Yang Ge entered the room, poured a bowl of water out, handed it to the old man with both hands, then brought a small chair, sat next to the old man, and said seriously: Shopkeeper, I'm not ignorant, you can handle this matter. Brother Fuyu can think of me because he regards me, Yang Ge, as one of his family members. Logically speaking, I, Yang Ge, must carry this honor no matter what!

After hearing his words, Shopkeeper Liu's expression softened a little, and he said warmly: This is a serious statement, but your brother Fu and we both hope that you can go tomorrow. Our old Liu family is a single generation of three generations, and your brother Fu also hopes that you can go there tomorrow. There are no cousins ​​to take care of you. You have not dated us, and neither of us has dated you. From now on, I will point out that you two brothers can help and support each other, as the old saying goes. : 'A fence has three stakes, a hero has three gangs'?

Yang Ge smiled and nodded: I understand what you and Brother Fu are thinking, but just like this, I can't go!

Shopkeeper Liu: What do you mean?

Yang Ge thought for a while and replied: Shopkeeper, opening a martial arts gym is not as good as opening an inn. You can welcome guests from all over the world with a smile, be friendly and make money. No matter how the world changes, opening a martial arts gym is still a business of tampering with people. I I tried my best to encourage Brother Fu to get married first and then start a career, in the hope that Brother Fu could be more down-to-earth and calm, but we can’t guarantee that if we don’t provoke others, others won’t provoke me, right?”

We don't talk about ten thousand, let's talk about what if. If trouble comes, we can't let the rich brother drag his family and family to fight with others, right?

I don't have this worry anymore. No matter what kind of trouble you have, it can only come to me. Even if I can't solve it, it will stop here!

So, no matter what the relationship between our two families is in private, on the surface, we still have to admit that the host is the host and the guest is the guest. Only in this way, if I have any trouble, my rich brother will not be implicated. I will take care of things. No worries!

What do you think about it?

He was talking about the martial arts school, but what he was thinking about was the Xiuyiwei incident.

The martial arts school is about fighting with others, but the Xiuyiwei is fighting with people to the death!

Keep a certain distance from the Old Liu family. If there are any sequelae, it won't harm the Old Liu family, right?

After listening to Yang Ge's words, Shopkeeper Liu's eyes surged and he was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he took Yang Ge's arm and sighed heavily: You are just too worried...

Yang Ge patted the old man's back gently and said comfortingly: Just don't hold grudges against me, brother Fuyu!

The old man went back with a lot of worries, even the joy in his mouth was much less.

People with heart and lungs always live a tiring life...

Yang Ge closed the courtyard door, washed his hands, and then opened the mooncakes brought by the old man.

Wrapped in layers of oil paper, he saw soft pastries that were closer to steamed buns, rather than the hard-baked mooncakes he remembered.

He tore off a small piece and put it into his mouth to taste it. It was sweet and had a slight aroma of grain...tastier than May Kernel mooncakes.

Xiao Huang waggled her big tail and came to his knees, staring at him eagerly with her cooing black eyes: Hmm, um...

alright!

Yang Ge divided the mooncake into two halves, stuffed half into his own mouth, and half into Xiao Huang's mouth, and said vaguely: I've eaten the mooncake too, and the festival is over!

Xiao Huang swallowed the mooncake in his mouth in two mouthfuls, and stared at the remaining two mooncakes in the oil paper bag with his mouth watering.

When it wasn't paying attention, Yang Ge picked up the oil paper bag and ran away: Thief, don't even think about eating my mooncakes!

Xiao Huang chased after him with his big tongue hanging out: 'Bad guy, don't even think about eating alone...'
