Chapter 266 265 Candied haws, lice
Later generations will organize a fleet of relatives, but in this era, there are very few fleets.

In Wangjiatun'er, it is popular to pick up marriages early, coupled with the snow, the road is very slippery, so a car and a large number of bicycles set off before dawn.

When Wang Yuan and his wife rushed over with the small pavilion, there were firecracker papers all over the door, and the team had already set off.

The mother-in-law put on a red padded jacket with red flowers pinned to her chest, and she looked very energetic with a smile on her face:
"Oh, why did you bring Xiao Tingzi here alone? Where are the two little guys?"

"Let her grandma and the others watch at home. I can't bring so many. I don't even want to bring the small pavilion. She said she wanted to see what the concubine looks like and insisted on coming."

Li Yan stomped her feet and clapped her hands, and gently pushed the small pavilion:
"Call me grandma, don't you know grandma?"

"Grandma."

Xiao Tingzi was a little skeptical, and kept hiding behind Li Yan with a shy face.

"Your sister-in-law will be here later, come and get warm in the house quickly, grandma will bring you delicious food."

There are only a few women smoking in the back room, and the chattering atmosphere is lively. There are cigarettes, melon seeds, peanuts and so on on each plate.

There are not many people in this yard, most of them are in the new house.

The people in the room were not relatives of Li Yan’s family, but people who came to visit from the village. Wang Yuan couldn’t stand the jokes of all the old women. After sitting for a while, he took the small pavilion directly to the new courtyard. .

The new house is built on the northwest side of the village, and the mountains and land are full of small roads to drive there. Li Yan is still eating melon seeds along the way:
"A lot of new houses have been built in the village in the past few years. It turns out that this is a crop field. When I was a child, I often came here to cut grass. I didn't expect it to be built into houses now."

My brother-in-law's new house also has a big yard. The yard covers an area of ​​about an acre and a half, and there is nothing to put there, so I just want it to be spacious, bright and comfortable.

After entering the house, I found not only a group of women waiting here, but also a group of old men watching the fun.

The women are in the west room, the men are in the east room, and the old man Li Wu is also sitting on the kang in the east room.

A lot of people were smoking, and the cloud was like a fire.

"Hey, why are you here so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Huang Cheng, who was familiar with Wang Yuan, was standing by the door, and put his arms around Wang Yuan's neck.

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, I'm just here for dinner, it's fine if I don't miss the meal time, hahaha~"

"How many flying dragons did you raise in your farm? Where did you sell them?"

"I don't know the exact number. Many of them were hatched this year. Where are they sold? There are provincial capitals, customs, and foreign countries."

Wang Yuan didn't want to talk too much about the Feilong farm. Anyone who wasn't a fool would know that his Feilong farm was very profitable, and those who were too high-profile would easily make people jealous.

Maybe he went crazy with jealousy, and someone drugged his farm, so the gain outweighed the loss.

"How many acres of watermelons have you planted this year? A lot of money, right?"

"No, no, there's been too much rain this year, and many watermelons have rotted in the ground. I'm so distressed that I can't sleep for a long time. I don't plan to plant this rotten thing next year."

Among the old men in the room, Wang Yuan is familiar with Huang Cheng and Li Wu, the father-in-law, but there are too many people in the room, the noise is noisy, and they are far away, so he can't talk to Li Wu at all.

Some old men didn't know Wang Yuan very well, and they suddenly realized it after asking people around them quietly.

Sudden.

There was a shout from outside the yard: "Candied haws ~ candied haws ~"

Huang Cheng glanced through the window and was instantly happy:
"I'm here to buy candied haws, let's go and have a look."

Huang Cheng grabbed Wang Yuan's arm and walked out. The latter felt bad for a moment. Not only the two of them came out, but also a few young people who couldn't stand the smell of smoke in the room also came out to breathe.

And there are a dozen or so children playing in the yard. Occasionally, they pick up a squib and let it go, bang~ the children are so happy.

The candied haws seller is an old man. He can tell from the firecracker papers on the floor and the red happy words on the wall that this family is having a happy event. He likes places with a lot of people. The more people there are, the faster the candied haws will sell.

"Candied haws ~ candied haws~"

Strings of candied hawthorn gourds are stuck on the handlebars at the back of the bicycle. They are bright red, and the candies are still reflecting a gleam of light, which is really attractive.

Some children swallowed greedily, but there was nothing they could do if they had no money in their pockets. Some had a dime, but they asked for 2 cents for a candied haws, and had to get it back.

"Candied haws ~ candied haws~"

The old man didn't leave, he parked his bicycle and kept yelling. Looking at the time, he knew that he hadn't come back to pick up his relatives. As long as he waited here, he wouldn't worry about not being able to sell it.

Huang Cheng put his arms around Wang Yuan's neck, and said with a smile: "Anyway, you don't want to run away today, what's the matter, don't you want to show it when you arrive at our Xiaobai Village? Give us a bunch of candied haws to eat?"

"Hey, I'm already an old uncle. Are you kidding me? I'll treat you to a drink when you come to Wangjiatuner in the future."

"The future is the future, and this one is today's... Come on, Ermaozi!"

Huang Cheng suddenly waved to a little boy in the distance. The latter was covered in dust, his nose was sniffling, and his little face was flushed from the cold.

"Uncle Cheng, gah?"

"Do you know who this is!? This is the object of your aunt, called uncle!"

Huang Cheng pointed at Wang Yuan with a smile, and the other gentlemen watched the fun with their arms folded. Li Yan came out of the room without knowing what happened, and Li Ping and others followed.

They didn't say anything, just ate melon seeds and watched the excitement.

The child named "Er Maozi" was only 8-9 years old, his shoes were dirty and his crotch was fat, but he was quite strong. Let alone Wang Yuan, he didn't know Li Yan very well.

Li Yan married Wang Yuan a few years older, Ermao Zi didn't remember anything at that time.

Seen by everyone present for a moment, Er Maozi's nervous legs trembled and he couldn't speak, Huang Cheng laughed and scolded instantly:
"Damn stuff, it's not feasible to blah, blah, hop up and down? Stop cooking when something happens? Hurry up and call uncle!"

"Uncle."

"Your uncle didn't hear, so speak up! Ask uncle to buy you candied haws, hurry up!"

"Uncle!!"

With this loud sound, not only the spectators around laughed, but even the old man who was wearing a broken hat and selling candied haws in his pocket also laughed.

Huang Cheng said to Wang Yuan again: "Look, this uncle is screaming, why don't you buy candied haws for him? The children are all staring at him eagerly. Don't let the children feel cold... Huh? Xiaoyan, Wang Yuan is Don't you have no money?"

In an instant, the crowd looked at Li Yan on the left, and Li Yan pursed her lips and smiled and said only one sentence:
"rich."

"That's fine, hurry up... What, do you want us to lift you up? Come, come, all the children."

"Buy, buy, buy." Wang Yuan knew that he couldn't escape today, so he waved his hand and said:
"Who wants to eat candied haws, just come and get it, I'll pay the bill!"

Or don’t buy it, since you’ve bought them all, don’t just buy a bunch, it’s a little tricky, so Wang Yuan’s words are basically equivalent to rounding up all the candied haws.

hula~
"Oh~ I want a bunch!"

"Give me a bunch, don't worry, don't worry!"

Knowing that someone is treating you, why hesitate?In an instant, everyone started to get started, and the scene was very lively for a while.

Wang Yuan hurriedly snatched a few skewers first, and after distributing a few skewers to the children, he still had three skewers in his hand.

I thought I would give Li Yan a bunch, Xiaotingzi a bunch, and finally keep a bunch for myself to eat.

As a result, my sister-in-law Li Ping also smiled and reached out to him.

Wang Yuan hesitated for three seconds, and finally handed her the only bunch of candied haws in his hand. When he wanted to pull out another bunch, he found that all the candied haws had been robbed.

The people around basically got one bunch, and some got two bunches, and they laughed happily. The body is very tough.

There are 42 skewers in total, 2 cents per bunch, 8 yuan and 4 cents in total. After receiving the money handed over by Wang Yuan, he rode a bicycle and left. It was already 11 noon when he got a lot of candied haws Too much.

After the car and bicycle convoy came back with the bride and her family, they started to go through the process. The crowd was almost crowded into a pie, and Wang Yuan didn't even look inside.

But the whole lunch was really good.

Double chicken and double fish, elbow, braised pork, roast duck, ribs, and beef are all served whole. The food is very rich and has exceeded the expectations of many guests.

The father-in-law, Li Wu, earned a lot of money by raising ducks. Now that his only son is married, he is willing to spend the money. Not only has he invited an opera troupe, but he has also invited a troupe for modern song and dance performances.

If you like to watch opera, you can watch it, and if you like to watch modern singing and dancing, you can watch singing and dancing, so a large number of people gathered outside the yard until the end at 4 pm.

Sellers of candied haws, sugarcane, hoops, darts, snacks, and toys all set up stalls outside the door, and the business is booming.

Xiao Tingzi didn't take the initiative to ask for it either, but she just stared straight at those good-looking and playful ones with longing on her face.

In the end, Wang Yuan bought her a plastic windmill and a plastic mask of Chang'e, and took her to deduct a few prizes, all of which were small things for children.

Everyone else dispersed during the evening.

The mother-in-law wanted to keep Wang Yuan and his family of three for the night, but Li Yan missed the other two little guys in the family, so she ate something hastily and went home.

Wangjiatuner.

As soon as Wang Yuan took Li Yan and Xiaotingzi home, his younger sister Wang Xiaodie came looking for her with her schoolbag on her back, and the big white cat ran behind her.

"Second Brother, Second Brother, are you back? What's delicious for dinner?"

"You know how to eat all day long. Your sister-in-law and I are full at noon, so we don't plan to cook at night."

Wang Yuan smoked leisurely, Xiao Die pouted instantly, Li Yan pursed her lips and cleaned the house with a smile:
"Xiaodie, what do you want to eat? My sister-in-law will make it for you."

"Braised pork! I want to eat braised pork, and so does the big white cat."

"Okay, let's make braised pork, but let's talk about it first, your brother and I can't eat it anyway, so make a bowl and eat it by yourself." Li Yan took the other two little guys back and showed Wang Yuan The child, she rolled up her sleeves and went to cook.

Wang Yuan lifted the children high, making them giggle:
"Don't feed the big white cat meat. The mice bit the food and she doesn't catch the mice. The big silly cat...go and play, don't run on my lap."

"Meow~"

The big white cat was pushed away, but climbed onto Wang Yuan's lap again, and finally got his wish and lay down, purring and snoring.

Wang Yuan touched her hair and it felt damp. This big silly cat must have rolled in the snow, or it might have stuck to it while catching sparrows.

Just halfway through dinner, the lights in the house went out instantly, and the TV was also turned off.

Li Yan found a candle and lit it, finally the house was not so dark, woo woo woo~ woo woo~ The cold wind outside the window was really strong, Xiaodie had goose bumps all over her body:
"I still have to go to school tomorrow...it's so cold, oops, I don't want to go to school."

"That's no good. You have paid all the tuition fees. You should correct your attitude and write well. I will buy you whatever you want during the Chinese New Year."

"Really?"

Xiaodie instantly looked like a goose cub, her waist straightened, her neck stretched out, and her eyes were shining brightly.

"Of course it's true. When did I ever lie to you?"

"Hmph~ You have lied to me a lot."

After all, the candles were not lit, and the shadows of the people who put the candles on the table were elongated and folded and stuck to the roof. The shadows were indistinct, and the corners and corners were all black.

She went to bed too early and couldn't fall asleep, so Wang Yuan and Li Yan chatted casually. Today she heard a lot of interesting things about Xiaobaituner and told Wang Yuan everything.

Talking one after another, staying in the warm room, listening to the cold wind whistling outside, it is very relaxing and comfortable.

The younger sister Xiaodie was lying beside Wang Yuan's right leg, crooked and disfigured, pulling his big rough hand to look around, and suddenly said:
"Second brother, your paws are so big, several circles bigger than mine."

"Huh? Get out, yours are the claws." Wang Yuan touched Xiaodie's head: "Do you have lice on your head?"

"Yes, I can't catch it."

"Come here, I'll look for you." Li Yan called Xiaodie to lie down, put the candle on the corner of the table to make the light closer, lowered her head and squinted her eyes to carefully catch her lice.

slap~
There is a crisp sound when the lice are squeezed to death. The lice are very small and can crawl very fast. It takes a lot of eyesight and hand speed to catch them.

The night gradually deepened, sleepiness hit, and several people fell asleep.

Just as Wang Yuan was about to fall asleep in a daze, the big white cat lying next to the pillow got into his quilt. It was quite enjoyable to hug the fluffy big white cat, but before dawn, Wang Yuan was raped by his second daughter. The crying woke him up, followed by his son. Only the younger sister and Xiao Tingzi looked innocent.

"Hey, are you hungry? Still want to pee?"

Wang Yuan pulled the light cord in a daze, and only after he finished pulling did he realize that there was a power outage.
