Not happy to cry during the Chinese New Year, Xu Zhang held back her tears again.

When Xu Jiaojiao saw Mrs. Xu Zhang like this, she had an idea, "Let's do this, mother, fifth brother and I have nothing to do anyway. Let's go to town and rent a carriage to welcome third brother."

Xu Zhang's eyes lit up, "Okay! That's okay! Lao Wu knows the way. You and Lao Wu go to meet your third brother together. If your third brother is walking on the road again, it will be too difficult to catch a ride."

It’s okay…”

The more I talked about it, the more I felt this proposal was feasible.

When he turned around, he called Xu Laowu out, and then brought all the things that he had prepared for Lao San at home.

Pork, sausages, loquat paste, loquat wine, a few pieces of good cloth given by the He family, as well as pastries, sugar, white flour and so on.

"Take these things with you. It's not easy to go back and forth in this snowy day. If you don't meet your third brother, you can send these things to your third brother's house and let him come back when the weather improves."

It doesn’t matter if it’s just one day or two. Old girl, you can get things through their eyes. I’ll give you another two taels of silver. You can give it to your third brother in private. He’s having a hard time at home. He has some money left over, but he can still survive.

Just a little bit..."

Mrs. Xu Zhang took out two taels of personal money and gave it to Xu Jiaojiao.

Everything was carried on Xu Laowu's back.

Xu Zhang confessed again and again, "Lao Wu, Jiaojiao has not been to Lao San's house a few times. You have been there more often. You remember the way, right? If you go to Cai's house, please speak more politely so that you don't have to leave."

, your third brother is not a good person, do you understand? Especially the fifth brother, you stupid bitch, can you speak?"

Xu Laowu was trained like a chicken pecking at rice, "I know, mother, I can talk. I understand the difficulties of the third brother, and I promise not to cause any trouble to the third brother."

Xu Jiaojiao also promised, "I won't cause trouble to Third Brother, mother, don't worry."

The memories of her third brother in her memory were pitiful.

It's like Xu Dafu, who got a disease similar to meningitis when he was a child. He had a high fever and had no money to seek medical treatment in time. When he grew up, he had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, was not very agile with his hands and feet, had low self-esteem, and was taciturn. Later, he was fooled by others.

Home son-in-law.

The family name of the family where Xu Dafu became his son-in-law was Cai.

It's relatively far away, not in Shazhou County, but in a relatively remote small village in Anping County, a neighboring county.

The ancestors of the Cai family were born as butchers. Both men and women were born with big shoulders and round waists, and were very powerful.

It's not too late to do anything. It's difficult to walk in heavy snow, so you have to do what you decide quickly.

The two brothers, Xu Laowu and Xu Jiaojiao, went to the town to rent a carriage. Now Lao Xu's family only has an oxcart, which is used to haul spring water. The oxcart moves slowly and is suitable for hauling heavy goods. It does not run very fast.

If you want to go out, especially to a relatively far place, it is better to come by horse-drawn carriage.

Of course, carriages are more expensive.

Cows are easier to feed. In this cold weather, just give them dry straw and let the cows chew it slowly.

But food for horses is more demanding than food for humans.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. There are many people visiting relatives, and the horse and carriage shops in the town are doing good business. Xu Jiaojiao and the others arrived a little late, and all the cheap carriages were rented.

I simply rented the best carriage, which was more expensive.

Xu Laowu felt heartbroken when he heard the price.

Xu Jiaojiao said, "This kind of carriage is good. It runs fast, is light, and is stable and not bumpy. Our third brother has trouble with his legs and feet. Let's run quickly to pick him up."

"That's okay."

We rented a carriage and set off all the way.

There was a coachman at the horse and carriage shop, but it would be cheaper to drive the coach yourself, so Xu Laowu didn't ask for a coachman. He sat in front of the car and whipped his whip, and the two of them set off along the road towards Yong'an Town.

He didn't stop walking. Halfway through, he didn't meet Xu Laosan.

Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Laowu's eyes widened, and they looked at everyone along the way, not letting anyone go.

Until we walked to Yong'an Town, we still didn't meet Xu Laosan.

Xu Jiaojiao asked Xu Laowu, "Fifth brother, could it be that third brother has gone another way? We haven't met him yet?"

Xu Laowu said, "The third brother's legs and feet are inconvenient. He usually doesn't take other trails, but the main road. Besides, it's snowing, so he definitely won't take the trails, or somewhere else."

I didn’t pay attention and missed it.”

Xu Jiaojiao thought, it was possible.

"Since we're all here, let's go to Third Brother's house first."

Xu Zhang has brought so many things that Mrs. Xu asked her to bring. There is no reason to go back and send them to the third brother's house first.

The Cai family was in a small village called Caiwan below Yong'an Town. Xu Laowu had been there several times and he knew the road well, so he drove his carriage to the house.

Along the way, many places were blocked by heavy snow. Xu Laowu's carriage was not able to move smoothly and was blocked after a while.

Fortunately, the carriages all came with shovels, specially prepared for clearing the road.

When Xu Jiaojiao saw this road, she thought that his third brother probably didn't go out at all and was stuck at home.

The two of them were strong anyway, but the snow on the road was thick and the carriage couldn't pass, so they got out of the car to dig out the snow to clear the way.

After a lot of effort, we dug all the way to Caiwan Village.

When we arrived, it was almost noon.

As soon as we entered the village, we could smell the aroma of food wafting from every house.

People from Caiwan Village, seeing carriages entering the village on such a snowy day, came to watch the excitement.

"Huh? Where does this beautiful sister-in-law come from? She is so good-looking, and the clothes are also good-looking. The material also has a dark light, tsk tsk tsk..."

"This young man looks familiar to me. He seems to be from Xujia Village? He is Xu Laosan's younger brother, right? I seem to have seen him before. He came to Lao Cai's house to fight before..."

"Hey, when you said it, I remembered that it was Xu Laowu! In the past two years, this young man was not so strong, but now he is so impressive!"

"I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement now. Lao Cai's family is immoral. I wonder how Xu Laosan is doing now."

…

Everyone was talking quietly. After Xu Jiaojiao took the tranquilizing pills several times, her hearing was much better than before. She felt a little strange when she heard the next few sentences.

What is happening now, what is happening now?

The two got off the carriage, and there were so many villagers watching, but the gate of Lao Cai's yard was closed tightly, as if there was no reaction.

Xu Jiaojiao went to pat the courtyard gate suspiciously.

The Cai family consists of several dilapidated adobe houses with a fence surrounding a yard. They are no different from other rural households.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and greeted the onlookers, "Happy New Year, fellow villagers. We are from Xujia Village, and we are here to see my third brother. Is my third brother at home?"

Just as the neighbors were about to talk, the courtyard gate opened from the inside.

"Who! It's Chinese New Year, just knock on the door and take a look! It makes people feel uneasy, what are you doing around our door? What do you want to do? Do you want to come to our house to beg for stuttering? Are you going to let me in?
