Chapter 85

When my mother recovered from her illness, the two children of Xu Peng's family were the happiest, and they hugged their own mother's thighs one by one and began to act like a baby.Seeing her own child, Xu Peng's daughter-in-law also burst into tears. She touched this child's head and pinched that child's face. Looking back on these days, it was really like a big dream.

Thinking that I almost won't see these two children again, I feel bad. In the end, I actually hugged the two children and burst into tears. The daughter-in-law looks like this, and the old woman is naturally distressed, so she hurried forward and helped again. Wiping her tears, she blamed again, and Xu Peng's daughter-in-law finally stopped her tears.

At this time, the clouds in the sky of Xu Peng's house will be completely dispersed.The family was happy together, teasing the children, chatting and laughing very lively.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Liu also felt a sense of accomplishment. At least after this day and night, he did not work in vain. While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Jiang Liu pulled Xu Peng aside and told him that in the future, every time Every year on the night of the first day of October, Xu Peng's daughter-in-law is required to sleep in a red cloth, so that she can avoid all kinds of trivial matters during the Ghost Festival and avoid troubles, so Xu Peng naturally nodded in agreement.

After the matter was finished, Jiang Liu and Dougen were eager to go back to Sanliangzi.Although Xu Peng's family repeatedly persuaded them to stay, saying that they should stay for a few more days before leaving.But the two tried their best to evade, saying that there were other things to do.

Seeing this situation, Xu Peng was embarrassed to keep it any longer, so he took out two cards of Great Unity from his pocket and wanted to give them to Jiang Liu.As a result, the two of them fought for a long time, and finally settled the matter with Jiang Liu accepting a card.

When Jiang Liu and Dougen came, they were picked up by Xu Peng's carriage, and Xu Peng would naturally have to take them back when they returned. Therefore, the grateful family sent the three of them out of the village, and did not return until they could not see the carriage.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when they arrived at Sanliangzi, Xu Peng was naturally grateful to Lao Jiang again, and spoke from the bottom of his heart.The son earned such a big face for himself, and the father was also very happy, and hurriedly ordered his daughter-in-law to cook and cook, saying that he should keep Xu Peng for dinner.

Unexpectedly, Xu Peng was thinking about his daughter-in-law at home, and after he refused for a long time, he took a whip and drove away in the car while Lao Jiang was not paying attention.Lao Jiang and his daughter-in-law felt that they were still very sorry, and chased them away for a long time, and said something like how often they would see each other before going home.

If there are words, it will be long, and if there are no words, it will be short. In a blink of an eye, it will be the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.If it was according to Dougen's intention, I planned to pick up Blind Han and his wife as soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, but Jiang Liu dragged Dougen to him until the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. go.

There have been several rounds of snow this winter, and the snow on the road has not melted. Moreover, the days are short, so Dougen did not dare to go fast when driving the carriage. It was not until after one o'clock in the afternoon that he arrived at Nanshuiquan.

When they came to the gate of Blind Han's house, Dougen grabbed the horse, and the two jumped out of the carriage and came to the closed gate, but they knocked on the gate for a long time, but no one answered.

In such a situation, the two brothers felt very strange.Logically speaking, the two of you have not seen each other for such a long time, so you have to go out to greet them.Furthermore, the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is the time when every household is busy, but through the crack of the door, why can't even people be seen in the yard?
Could it be?Thinking of this, Jiang Liu hurried to the low courtyard wall next to him, jumped into the courtyard, ran to the front of the house door, opened the door and entered the house to see that the old couple were sitting on the edge of the kang.There are several packages next to it, all bulging, and I don't know what is inside.

After seeing Jiang Liu enter the room, blind man Han raised his head and glanced at him, then his eyelids drooped, and he continued to pick up the pipe and pot.Seeing his master like this, Jiang Liu was a little confused.Xin said, during the period of his apprenticeship, did he not embarrass him?Why are you so indifferent?What do you mean?

Come on, don't worry about what the master thinks, anyway, the master is not happy, it must be that I, as an apprentice, have not done well.Quickly put on a hippie smile, and said to my mistress: "Well, mistress, don't you think it's the Chinese New Year soon? I figured it out, it's not fun for you old couple to celebrate the New Year at home by yourself, so I came to pick you up. It’s fun to celebrate the new year together, isn’t it? Don’t you think so? Right!”

As for Jiang Liu, he really has a seven-aperture exquisite heart and a lively mind in all directions.Seeing the displeasure on Master's face, simply, I won't touch your tiger's ass anymore.I'll tell my mistress, let my mistress tell you again, so it's a roundabout way.You can't vent your anger on me anymore.

Blind Han's daughter-in-law didn't expect this little brat to hide so many tricks in her words, and she really slipped into this kid's tricks.Without even thinking about it, he turned his head and said to Xiazi Han: "Master, please say something, look at this cold day, the child has come so far to pick us up. Stop stretching and pretend to be two." What are you doing with five to eighty thousand?"

Blind Han originally wanted to seize this opportunity to show Jiang Liu some color, but he didn't want his wife to get in the way, so he couldn't continue to make a good face.

He sighed and said, "Oh, wait a minute, the emperor's people will be here soon, let's say hello to them first." After finishing speaking, blind Han remained silent, bowed his head and smoked.

Jiang Liu was confused by Han Xiazi's attitude, turned his head in confusion, and looked at his teacher's wife.

"Keeping a child, that's the thing. Isn't that right? As soon as the twelfth lunar month enters, your master thinks that you should come to pick us up for the New Year, but you didn't come for one day, and you didn't come for one day. Because Now, your master is getting angry. It has been like this for the past few days. It just so happened that yesterday the emperor sent people from the opera troupe to take your master to his place to celebrate the new year. You're here today too. So that's it..."

Saying this, the blind daughter-in-law pouts at Blind Han.

Only then did Jiang Liu understand what was going on, and the emotional master was angry with him again because of this.So he hurried to Xiazi Han and said with a playful smile, "Master, I'm really not to blame for this matter. If you want to blame it, you can blame the rabbits on the mountain this year. All of them are about to become fine. I squatted on the mountain for several days in a row. I barely managed to catch four rabbits. You said that this is a big Chinese New Year, and there is no appetizer, so I am too embarrassed to invite Master, right?"

As for Dougen, after following the river into the house, he stood on the ground and never entered the back room.Listening to Jiang Liu's remarks now, I almost crooked my nose.I thought to myself, there really is such a monkey cub who stares and talks nonsense in broad daylight without turning red.

If you say that others can't catch rabbits when they go up the mountain, it's somewhat believable.But if Jiang Liu went up the mountain and couldn't catch rabbits, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Dougen.And just yesterday, this kid went for a walk up the mountain and brought back four rabbits.

As soon as Han Xiazi heard that there were appetizers, not to mention that his eyes immediately glowed green, which was almost rare.As for the late arrival of the child, I left early.He knocked on Jiang Liu's head with a bag pot under his eyes, and said with a smile: "That's what you say when you come in the door, or it's over. I can't get angry with a rabbit anyway. Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and put the things away. Take it out. Go to your house for dinner, I've packed everything."

Seeing that Master was happy, Jiang Liu let out a sigh of relief, and began to carry large and small bags into the car while the iron was hot.

Just as Jiang Liu and Dougen loaded the packages into the cart and were about to catch the carriage and go back to Sanliangzi, the people from the emperor's theater troupe happened to arrive at the gate of Han Xiazi's house driving the carriage.

Before anyone could speak, the blind man rushed over and said to him: "Well, you go back and tell the emperor that I will go to my apprentice's place for the New Year this year, so I won't go back with you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to get into Dougen's carriage, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to someone: "That's right. You tell the emperor by the way, just say what I said, and when the first month is free, come to me." Drinking at the apprentice's house, I still have a bottle of good wine waiting for him."

After finishing speaking, Han Xiazi raised his leg, sat on the carriage, and waved at the man who came.Shouted: "Let's go."

As Dou Gen, the driver of the carriage, flicked his whip and slapped the horse's buttocks, the carriage rumbled towards Sanliangzi.The people who got the theater troupe to pick up Han Xiazi stood where they were, and it took a long time to understand.As a result, looking at the carriage the blind man was riding in, it had already left the village, so he had no choice but to drive back with the empty carriage.

About one o'clock at night, a group of four people returned to Sanliangzi.Lao Jiang and his wife stood at the entrance of the village with lanterns and power stations in their hands. They looked back and forth several times, and finally saw four people when the carriage entered the village.

Lao Jiang almost ran over, and after getting into the carriage, he greeted Xia Xiazi and his wife Han.It made Lao Jiang's daughter-in-law give you several rolls of eyes, and said reproachfully.

"Look at you, at least wait for someone to come into the house to warm up before talking about it! It's not a ****, why do you have to talk about it now?"

Lao Jiang didn't care about his daughter-in-law's scolding at all. After laughing hehe, he still talked enthusiastically with Han Xiazi.

It was the first time for the blind daughter-in-law to see Lao Jiang, and it was still in such a situation. After a few conversations, she immediately knew that he was also a real person.

After coming here, the fear that the two people would not get along disappeared.And from time to time, he interjected and started talking to the two of them. Just talking like this, the carriage quickly arrived at the gate of Lao Jiang's house.

During the day, Lao Jiang and his wife had already heated up the kang.Along the way, although they were all sitting in the carriage covered with quilts, it was not warm in the house after all. The blind Han couple, who were terribly cold along the way, entered the house without politeness and went directly to the kang.

Seeing this, Lao Jiang simply told his daughter-in-law to put the table in the Westinghouse and serve the food and wine. Everyone was so hungry, and they didn't give any formalities like guests and hosts, so they gathered around and started eating.

Blind Han naturally knew Lao Jiang's drinking capacity, and he didn't need Lao Jiang to accompany him. After drinking a few cups by himself, he began to eat.
