Chapter 150 Chapter 140 - December 23
In the morning of the next day, the five people got up early, tied sandbags and went out for a run. Duan Wuji and Tie Niu ran in front, and Duan Changqing and his three brothers ran behind.

Time is not long, let Duan Wuji and Tieniu wipe out their three brothers without a trace.The two of them ran for more than thirty miles and immediately turned around and ran back. Duan Wuji and Tie Niu caught up with the three of them again.

Tieniu asked as he ran, "Three brothers, how far have you run today?"

Duan Changqing ran forward desperately and said: "Today we ran out for about twenty miles, how about you?"

"We didn't run far, only about thirty miles, three brothers, work harder, let's go back and have dinner."

"Huh? Did you run so far? We didn't land at 01:30!

Changhong, Changhao, work harder, don't let them leave us behind, otherwise we will be too ashamed. "

The three of them ran forward desperately.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brothers, you run slowly first, I'll go home for dinner!"

I saw Duan Wuji exerting all his strength on his feet, he ran to the front with three sprints and two sprints, and then ran straight to the house.

Tieniu glared at the sight, and ran home as hard as he could.

When Duan Changqing saw it, he knew that if he didn't try his best today, he would be ashamed, and he also cared about his two brothers, and chased Tie Niu desperately. When he ran home, he saw that Duan Changqing's face was all yellow. , panting heavily, almost unable to speak.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Changqing, why are you so tired? Training is not a matter of a day or two!

Wash your face and go back to the house to eat. "

Not long ago, Duan Changhong and Duan Changhao also ran in panting. The two of them were panting while walking in the yard, and it took a long time to catch their breath.

Five people walked into the room, only to see that the food on the table was still there, and the five people sat down and ate for a while, and when they were full, almost all the food on the table was eaten.

The five stood up and were about to go to the yard to practice martial arts, when suddenly there was the sound of a carriage in the yard.

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Who is this again? Come on, let's go out and have a look."

The five stood up and were about to go out when Duan Yingchun opened the door and walked in.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Second Grandpa, it's you! Is Second Grandpa here today?"

Duan Yingchun listened with a smile: "Wuji, today is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. As the saying goes, on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Lord Stove Fire will go to heaven. You said that there are not enough people in this family. How can you tell Lord Stove Fire to go to heaven to say good things and return to the palace?" Auspicious?"

Duan Yingchun looked at Duan Changqing, Duan Changhong, and Duan Changhao and said, "You three boys are ignorant at all. It's almost Chinese New Year, and you still stay here and let grandpa drive a car to pick you up. I owe you a lot." beat.

Why don't you pack up your things and go home with me? "

The three of them stuck out their tongues, and immediately walked out with their heads drooping.

Duan Wuji smiled when he saw it.

"Second Grandpa, you came at a good time. I have some New Year's goods here. You can take them back. You can drive the carriage over here, so that I won't have to send it with you."

At this moment, Duan Yanqing and Duan Changsheng also came out from the back room.

Duan Yanqing took two quick steps and pulled Duan Yingchun's hand, saying: "Second Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, you can come over after eating, let's have a few more drinks with him as father and son."

Duan Yingchun shook her head.

"Yanqing, I won't eat here today. There are other things at home. Let's get together again during the Chinese New Year."

Duan Yanqing nodded helplessly.

"Well, all right then.

Wuji, Changsheng, don't give your second grandpa the things in the house!His carriage came over today, and it happened to be taken away by him. "

After hearing this, several people immediately moved out three jars of wine, three boxes of snacks, and two boxes of tea leaves from the back room, and put them on the cart. Afterwards, Duan Wuji collected about one-third of the water chestnuts, put them in baskets and put them on the cart. in the car.

Duan Yingchun saw it and said with a smile: "Yanqing, you gave me so many things, now I can save buying."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Second Grandpa, I'll give you three more sheep, take them home to eat meat."

"Ah? Give me something back! This, how can I be embarrassed?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Second Uncle, Wuji will give you whatever you want, why be so polite? Our family has twenty sheep to eat, isn't it just to eat mutton for the Chinese New Year?

Second Uncle, get some of them and have a good year. "

Duan Yingchun laughed after hearing this: "Okay, okay! You give me what I want. Yanqing, thank you."

Duan Wuji led Niu Tie and brought out four sheep from the sheep shed and put them beside the carriage. Duan Yingchun smiled and said to Duan Changhong and his three brothers: "You lead the horses and drive the sheep home with me. Bar.

Let's go home and kill the sheep. During the Chinese New Year, let's eat dumplings stuffed with mutton. "

The three brothers walked away happily, leading the horse and the sheep.

Tieniu thought for a while and said: "Uncle, brother Changsheng, brother Wuji, you see my second grandfather took all three of my brothers away, I don't think I should wait for my father to find me, I'd better go back by myself.

I am the main member of the family, and I need to take care of many things in the family. If I don't go back, I am afraid that the family will not be able to survive the year. "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Okay then, you can go back today too, Changsheng, take the car and send him the things for Niu Tie's house."

After Duan Changsheng agreed, he turned around and went out. Duan Wuji also took out three jars of wine from inside, and took out two boxes of tea, and poured half of the water chestnut into a basket and took it out.

Duan Changsheng brought the carriage, the three of them put all these things on the carriage, and Duan Wuji drove out four sheep from the sheep pen.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, you can keep the four sheep behind by yourself. I won't go there today. Say hello to uncle and aunt for me. See you next year."

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Uncle, brother, let's see you next year. I wish you and your family good luck in the coming year."

After finishing speaking, Tie Niu led the horse and drove the four sheep to the back of the carriage and went straight to the house.

The house became quiet all of a sudden, Duan Yanqing looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Wuji, it's the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month now, and it's time for our family to make arrangements for the New Year. I think you should stop practicing martial arts these few days, and just make arrangements." Let's talk about the Chinese New Year.

Although our family is not a big family now, our family is also the most prestigious family in our Duanjiazhuang. Our family must not be sloppy during the New Year, otherwise we will be laughed at. "

Duan Wuji nodded helplessly after listening to his father's instructions.

"Well, that's fine. Yes, it's almost Chinese New Year, so we must get rid of what needs to be done."

Duan Wuji said to his father: "Father, how many long-term workers are there in our family now?"

Duan Yanqing thought for a while and said, "There seem to be four in total. Hey, Wuji, why are you asking about this?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "In three days or two days, they will have a holiday. Whose family is not celebrating the New Year, we have to give them some New Year's goods!

Our family is not poor now, we should not give them less than other employers give long-term workers, otherwise we will be laughed at by others. "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Well, Wuji, what you said is also reasonable, you can just figure it out.

You can make arrangements for this year's Chinese New Year, Dad, I will save my worries for a year. "

Duan Wuji could only nod his head.

"Well, that's fine."
