Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

But these words, he can not ask, can not say.

Li Zhensheng took a deep breath and solemnly promised, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, you can leave the rest to me after the road is paved. It just so happens that I have been doing business in Xindu for more than ten years. Even if I follow the caravan south, no one will doubt it." , I just thought I had returned to my old profession..."

Lord Hou nodded, "Okay, elder brother takes good care of his illness and recovers as soon as possible. The journey is far away, and all the preparations should be made. When I make arrangements here, I will discuss with elder brother."

Li Zhensheng got up to leave, thought for a while, and said: "Don't tell my mother yet, I'm afraid the old man will miss me. After all, I just came back not long ago, and I have to leave again."

"Okay, brother, don't worry." Master Hou agreed.

Li Zhensheng went out with a heart full of complexity. Jiayin and Mao Geer, a few mischievous children, ran back from the construction site. The snack box in their hands was empty, and they all ate like little cats.

Like a little wild horse, Brother Cat ran forward and shouted, "Dad, I want this box to hold my baby."

"Whose box is this?" Li Zhensheng wiped the sweat off his son's head, and picked up the smiling little niece.

Jiayin replied crisply: "It's the leftover box that Uncle Dashan gave us for snacks."

"Okay then, if Brother Mao likes it, just keep it. Does Fu Niu like it, and uncle will pick you a better looking one when he comes to town?"

"Uncle, I don't want it. I have a treasure box, which is bigger than my brother's." Jiayin hugged the uncle's neck, and proudly raised her chin at Brother Mao.

Brother Mao yelled angrily, "I'm going to find grandma, and I want a big box too."

Mrs. Li is busy digging out the holes in the kang. This summer, the big kangs in the house have to be lit from time to time to warm them up, so as not to sleep too cold.

Although a handful of firewood is enough every time, but after a long time of accumulation, there will be more firewood ashes.

Dig out thoroughly before winter, and it will be easy to burn after winter.

Her head was wrapped in a coarse cloth towel, she was holding a dustpan in her hand, and a black line was smeared under her nose.

At first glance, it looks like an island devil stealing landmines.

Seeing her children and grandchildren come back noisy, she smiled and showed her white teeth, "I heard you bickering all the way, are you hungry? I'll cook after I'm done!"

Li Zhensheng and the children were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing.

Jiayin was even more laughing, which made Mrs. Li bewildered.

She didn't know what was going on, so she gestured to raise her hand and wiped her face twice, which made herself even more embarrassed.

Li Zhensheng put down his niece, took the dustpan from his mother, and urged with a smile, "Mother, go take a bath quickly, I will do these chores."

Mrs. Li didn't refuse either. She pulled her kerchief and slapped her body before going to the ear room.

After such a fuss, the reluctance and complexity in Li Zhensheng's heart disappeared completely.

For the sake of this family to have laughter all the time, and for the sake of his old mother, he must seize this golden opportunity no matter what!

More people make it easier to work, and fewer people make it easier to eat.

Gathering the strength of the whole village, the school was built almost in a few days, and on a good day, the whole village, men, women and children came to join in the fun.

The village head was also happy from ear to ear, and decided to hand out more than ten catties of snacks and sprinkle half a dustpan of copper coins.

This season, every family is busy, but children will always have free time.

Children from Dahuaishu, Dawangzhuang, and Xiaowangzhuang villages heard the noise and came to play, so they naturally got snacks and grabbed a few pennies.

When I went back at night, I was discovered by my family, so I had to ask a few questions.

As a result, the new village built a school, and everyone spread the news about sending all the children in the village to study, write and count.

Some people are envious, some people say that the new village is too much money to burn, but more people are tempted and want to send their children and grandchildren to get some glory and learn some skills.

But it's not easy to speak, the discussion comes, the discussion goes, and it is dragged down.

On the Broken Gold Beach side, everyone doesn't know this.

They are busy installing doors and windows for the school, building kangs, and making tables, chairs and benches. These chores are no easier than building a house.

In such busy work, the first snow of winter finally fell.

The little snowflakes dotted around almost melted before they hit the ground, as if it was raining.

This reminds young and old of Qingshui Village.

There are four distinct seasons throughout the year, strong winds in spring, thunderstorms in summer, dryness in autumn, and heavy snow in winter.

Although now I live in Suijintan, I have enough food and clothing, and everything goes well, but at this time, I still think about my hometown where I grew up.

The Li family came from beyond the Great Wall, where it snows most of the year.

For such Xiaoxue, she even looked down on her.

Mrs. Li sat on the kang, sewed cotton-padded clothes with Dongmei, pushed open the window and looked, "Although the fine pieces under the snow are really bad, but the custom can't be lost. Let's knead the noodles in a while, chop the stuffing, and eat at noon." Let's make dumplings and eat."

Dongmei also knew that there is a custom of eating dumplings in the first snow in the north, so she nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll go to Xiaowangzhuang to buy pork, buy a few stick bones along the way, and make some bone soup for the lady to drink at night. Miss yesterday and brother cat Er'er lost in size, so angry that he could hang a soy sauce bottle on his small mouth, I'm afraid he was looking forward to growing taller."

Mrs. Li laughed when she heard it, "Children are like this, don't spoil her, this girl is the best at climbing, I'm afraid she will develop a temper in the future."

Just as they were talking, a carriage stopped outside the gate, and the two of them rushed out to greet him. Before they saw the person coming, they heard the good news and shouted joyfully, "Uncle Steward!"

It turned out that the butler personally led the carriage to deliver the things, and he hugged Jiayin and laughed like a flower.

Seeing the old lady, he hurriedly saluted again, "Old lady, I heard that there is a custom of eating dumplings in the snow in the north, no, it happens that there is fresh pork at home, so I sent some over."

As he spoke, the two stewards who followed him lifted things down.

Not to mention the rice, noodles, grains and oils, but only pork, two pigtails, four strips of pork belly, and four pig's trotters.

This is too much, how can it be a little bit!

The big housekeeper was afraid that the old lady would not accept him, so he said with a smile: "In the morning, Master Hou went back to the Hou Mansion. I took a closer look and I was really happy! Speaking of which, Master Hou is recuperating here, it is really too much." By the way, Hou Ye has not only gained a lot of weight, but also looks better."

Hearing this, the old lady quickly responded: "Family, it's right to take care of me a little bit more at a time like this, but I don't know when Master Hou will come back, can we eat dumplings in time for lunch?"

"Master Hou is going to enter the palace, I'm afraid the emperor will stay with him for dinner."

"Then let's make dumplings first, and wait for Master Hou. If he doesn't come back, leave a curtain for him. It's easy to cook now."

As the people talked, they carried everything in.

The old lady asked Uncle Zhao and the others to help. They divided the pork, and each family gave away a piece. Although it was not much, it was enough to make dumplings.

Not to mention that everyone in the family was busy making dumplings, but only that in the palace, Lord Hou accompanied the emperor out of the imperial study, stood under the eaves, watched the light snow falling from the sky, and let out a long breath.
