When Xu Youshu left, he hurriedly reconciled his father and his grandmother and said:

"Nai, when you calm down again, don't be like us. Don't be angry either during the Chinese New Year. My dad and I will visit you again in a while. My dad is thinking about you!"

The old lady closed the door tightly and entered the house with a broom in hand. While sweeping the kang, she said to herself angrily:

"I can still tell if you're serious or not. Why did you take twenty eggs just because you missed me? It's not even as much as what Hao Yinhua from the West Courtyard got.

If I were a lonely old lady living in a small room by myself, would you care about me? I would stink to death in the room.

Since I entered the house, I haven't even asked if Zhaodi is okay. Is he also a father and brother? He said that he is your biological child even though he is divorced. He is very cruel.

Besides, I’ve got these gold earrings on, so I don’t need you to look at me with false feelings.”

The old lady thought to herself: She was in Erdaohe, thanks to which she could hear new things every day and meet many people. People outside also treated her as an elder in favor of her daughter-in-law, and she was in a good mood.

Otherwise, he would be locked up in a small room and just think about what the father-in-law and son were doing every day. If anything happened, he would be pissed off to death.

With a clang, the door outside rang again.

The old lady thought that the father and son were back again, which made her angry: "Is it over yet?!"

"...It's Aunt Xu, I'm Yang Dachun, who usually delivers pork to your house."

"My daughter-in-law orders pork from you?"

"Well, I've been booking for several months. I'm thinking about celebrating the New Year. I heard that my eldest sister and your boss mentioned that you are always here, so I have to come to visit you and wish you a happy New Year."

"Hey, please come in quickly."

The pork seller brought four new year gifts.

Among them were the pastries that the Xu family brought for takeout, as well as a bag of melon seeds, a bag of wild fungus, and four pig trotters.

"The melon seeds and black vegetables (fungus) are saved by myself. They are not valuable things. Use them to eat. Don't dislike them, Aunt Wanwang."

"What's the matter? We are all from the village. I'm happy if you come to see me. You don't have to carry anything. Come on, drink some water."

After both parties finished speaking all the polite words, the pork seller still didn't leave. He held the glass of water tightly in his hands and hesitated to speak.

The old lady was thinking about sifting the soil and making a seedling frame. How could she work if this man didn't leave?

Ask proactively:

"Do you have anything to say when you come home? Then I will ask my daughter-in-law to come back. She is busy in the village workshop today and did not go to the shop not far from home."

"No, aunt, I know she is busy... Let me tell you straight away. I heard a message saying that someone in your village is trying to catch pigs and lambs. I am a little worried that your family will not buy my meat in the future.

Auntie, can you tell me the truth and whether you will buy it in the future? Otherwise, I won’t even have the heart to celebrate the New Year, and I don’t know if I should raise more animals in the new year.

Bumping around like a headless fly, with worries that scratch my heart and lungs."

The pork dealer hurriedly tried to persuade him again: "If you still want to buy it, don't worry. I would also like to ask you to tell Mr. Xu that if I don't ask for any more pig intestines from now on, I really don't want to keep a penny for your family."

The old lady really knows this:

"Ah, that's the thing. My family doesn't have time to raise pigs this year. Although there will be two more pigs in the village, if we have to deal with so many merchants as now, the other shops can make them pork balls. My family also needs enema.

We still have to cooperate with your family. The few animals raised in the village are not enough. On New Year’s Day, my daughter-in-law talked about this."

The pork dealer immediately smiled with folds on his face. After taking the reassurance, he bent down and stood up and said:

"Auntie, please come in quickly. It's cold outside, so there's no need to send it away. Well, I'll bother you later and tell you, if anyone in your village wants to catch pigs and lambs, just come to my house, and I'll make sure to catch them the best ones to feed. Chong.

Your family will also give me the most affordable price. If I don’t give you the most affordable price, then I won’t be a human being.”

"If you can give me a cheaper price, it's just a sign of love. Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the villagers who want to catch the pigs, and thank you even more for coming to see me, ah? Come back when you have time, come and go often, and walk slowly!

"

The old lady's suffocation caused by her boss just disappeared.

She feels that she is still useful and can collect gifts at home. From the Chinese New Year to now, she has received no less gifts in the name of her elders.

He can also help the villagers catch pigs and lambs cheaply with a few words, which makes the second daughter-in-law and her family feel arrogant because they know so many people.

Then, while Nan Nan was taking a nap, Mr. Wu and his wife also came to pay New Year greetings.

The old lady originally wanted to call Tian Xin'er back, mainly because the gift was too big.

Who could have imagined that Blacksmith Wu brought two large sledges with iron plates on the bottom and two new hoes. They were made of iron.

"Don't call Tian Xin'er, auntie, Tian Xin is busy with big things every day. We, as a couple, are just thinking about the days of the God of Wealth, so we specially come to see you to ask for good luck. The hoe is for plowing to increase wealth, and the sledge is for pulling home.

Cai, I hope you and your whole family can be happy throughout the year."

I heard that the Xu family bought a lot of land, and the new hoe can be used just right.

It was only when Wu Blacksmith's wife came to Xu's house that she smiled sincerely. Otherwise, she would have been having such a bad year, and she wouldn't have been able to smile.

Her youngest daughter did not return to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year. The couple was very worried about whether their daughter would be beaten severely by her son-in-law again.

Yesterday, I specially sent my son, who had just rushed home from his mother-in-law's house, to drive to his sister's place to see what was going on. If nothing happened, I made an excuse and said I was going to deliver some food.

Speaking of which, it was the fault of the previous Zhenting. The relatives of Zhenting's family hired those second-rate thugs to stop her daughter from touching her. After her son-in-law found out about it, he regretted marrying their daughter and beat her up after drinking some wine.

Blacksmith Wu didn't dare to sit down longer because they hadn't left yet, and many guests came from the Xu family.

Blacksmith Wu vaguely knew a few of them, but those customers didn't recognize him.

This time Mrs. Xu was found from the workshop.

Moreover, these guests were accompanied by Liu Laozhu to the Xu family.

These guests who came to visit were the owners of a restaurant, a grain store, and the largest inn in the town. They were the owners of a sugar, salt, pepper and aniseed shop, an oil mill, a brick kiln, and a charcoal kiln.

of.

As well as the big shopkeeper of the bank branch that just moved to the town, and a heavyweight entourage, Mr. Qian.

These people went out to pay New Year's greetings to the cashier this morning. When they mentioned the Xu family's fireworks and the fact that this year's mutual market winner was Erdaohe's Xu family, they all suggested that we go and get to know Dong Xu's family.

What's wrong with women? This female boss, and even her cardamom-aged granddaughter, have long been in everyone's sight, and they have a feeling that they will only become more coquettish in the future.

Then there will be more cooperation, then it doesn't matter who takes the initiative to get to know whom first.

Zhang Dongjia, who runs an oil shop, joked when he arrived that there would be people from outside opening oil shops here in Houbeidi, and he needed to go to Xu's house to shave his beard in advance.

Because the Xu family didn't like to buy oil from him in the first place. The Erdaohe villager was very naughty. I didn't know where he found out about it and had already found the oil shop on the other side of the county town and kept buying oil there. So in the future, he would also buy oil from him.

Isn't it the same price as the county oil shop? As long as we can cooperate closely, small profits but quick turnover is also very good.

Boss Wang from the brick kiln even smiled and said, "Then I'd like to get acquainted. I heard that the Xu family is going to build a house."

The owner of the inn hopes that after the Xu family has entertained the caravan, they can push guests directly to him. At the end of the year, he expanded the yard and bought a house next door. If he can get to know Xu Dongjia better, the two parties can communicate more about hospitality.

The experience of Tao is even better.

Just like that, these people came to Erdaohe.

When Mrs. Xu entered the room, she heard Liu Laozhu say excitedly:

"It's really brilliant. Yes, she is not in the shop. Why don't you go to the shop to find her first? In the shop, she will go to take care of things on the second day of the second grade. After that, she will leave it to her daughter-in-law and her sister.

There have been no guests in the past two days, so I have been in the workshop."

Mrs. Xu entered the room and everyone stood up.

If everyone except Qian and other officials stood up, how could the others not?

Under the leadership of Mr. Qian, everyone took the initiative to smile and clasp their fists at Mrs. Xu, doing the same thing as a boss: "Mr. Xu, good luck, good luck, everything goes as you wish."

"Oh, Mr. Qian and all the bosses, what we said in front of you is right. I really didn't expect you guys to come. It's really a blessing. I also wish all the bosses that the new year will be better than the old one, and all will be well.

Great profit, great wealth, great honor, sit down, please sit down."

Yingzi from Guan Ertu's family and the naughty girl next door were specially asked by Liu Laozhu to boil water and make tea.

Although the old lady of the Xu family is the best at making tea, despite her shabby appearance, her hands and feet are quick and clean, and she once worked as a maid. But Liu Laozhu thought, now that she is the old lady, the mother-in-law of the Xu family, we will

Not to mention that I have done the same thing as a maid, can an elder serve me with tea?

As soon as Liu Laozhu passed by, he specially invited two juniors to entertain the guests.

In the Xu family hall, the incense candles placed in the east, west, north, and south illuminated the lamb legs and carps dedicated to the God of Wealth, and everyone was chatting lively.

If Mrs. Xu is not familiar with the owner, Mr. Qian will specially introduce it to her.

The two of us had a tacit understanding. We both knew in our hearts that we had met Huo Yunqian, so our relationship would be better in the future.

In fact, Qian Yuanwai also has a group of important people in his hands.

He planned to introduce him to Mrs. Xu again when he had the opportunity in the future.

Among those people, if Mrs. Xu was careful, she would still have an impression.

Because these people have never stayed in an inn, but they have lived in Erdaohe.

That was to give Huo Yunqian a New Year's gift, get mixed up in the delivery team, and never go back again. He wanted to work as a "owner" in Beidi.

For example, in the new year, a bodyguard bureau will be established here in Beidi, a silver building will be opened, and a bookshop will be unparalleled in Kaifu City.

At present, this is what Mr. Qian knows.

He still doesn't know that his master Huo Yunqian has made up his mind to do more things in the future since he received the secret message from home and while offering incense to his grandfather and parents here in Beidi.
