big sister headed home

Chapter 63

Because of the business of buying a shop, "Dou Hua and his brother stayed in the county for almost a day" and it took a day to complete the procedures for the transfer of the shop.

Because Dou Hua helped solve the murder case before, and she was able to talk to County Magistrate Wang, most of the people in the government knew her. "I saw her, and I was very polite to her." I heard that she was going to buy a shop and transfer ownership. The chief secretary Liu of the county government didn't delay in making decisions, 'directly affixed with the big red seal' and waived half of her tax money by the way.

It can be said that there are people in the yamen who are easy to handle. This is the reason. Dou Hua also accepted the favor of Master Liu and gave him half of the saved tax money. She said that she invited him to have a cup of tea with several officials in the county yamen.

As the saying goes, the relationship can be long-lasting only if there is reciprocity and reciprocity. When people help themselves, it is their duty to reciprocate.Dou Hua has been in the society for a few years at any rate, and she knows a little about these people's sophistication.

Sure enough, Director Liu was also very satisfied with this, and said a lot of polite words, and said that if someone makes trouble when opening a shop in the future, he will come to the yamen to look for him. It would be great to have the backing of the government.

After completing the transfer procedures, Dou Hua and his brother replaced the shop locks with new ones, and then hurried out of the county town in a donkey cart before the city gate was closed.

At this time, it was evening, and the setting sun on the horizon was shining brightly, illuminating half of the sky, and dyed the clouds and clouds red. It looked so gorgeous and eye-catching. Dou Hua looked at the beautiful scenery on the horizon, and her mood was even better.

Dou Qing was also very happy. Thinking that such a large shop in the county town now belonged to his family, he felt like a dream.

"Sister, our family has a shop." Dou Qing said again, "There is really a shop, I dare not think that our family has such a big shop with a yard behind it, and people can live there. Our house is even bigger."

Dou Hua said, "Well, if you like it, I'll take a few of you and live in the county town for a few days, we are also city dwellers."

"That's a good thing." Dou Qing said happily, and then remembered something, and his expression changed, "No, we can't live in the county seat, and we still have rabbits, chickens, etc. at home, let's go, who cares about them."

Dou Hua smiled and shook her head when she heard this, "We can entrust A Tao's family to take care of it for two days, and it will not be a problem if we think about it."

Dou Hua said so, but she was also thinking about it in her heart. There are a lot of living things in the house, and it will not work if no one takes care of them. It's still home, and it's a comfortable place to live. Although the shops in the city are good, they don't have the atmosphere of home.

Sister Dou Hua chatted and laughed all the way, and drove home in a donkey cart. Little Huizi was traveling fast, and he had been away for another day and hadn’t eaten much fodder. He was hungry, so there was no need to rush. Eat, run on four legs, quite fast.

In less than half an hour, Dou Hua's sister and brother came to the entrance of the village of Dou's family. The two younger children of the family had been looking at the entrance of the village for a long time, waiting for them to come back. What an accident, don't be in a hurry, if you can't wait for them, Dou Lin will call his uncle to look for them again.

"Elder Sister, you are back, why is it so late? We are all anxious to death." When Dou Lin saw his donkey cart, he rushed forward and climbed up quickly with his hands and feet.

"It took a long time for our family to buy a shop, so it's a bit late to come back. You just wait at home, and it's going to be dark when you go out to do something." Dou Hua said, reaching out to hug Xiao Dou Hong to the donkey cart.

"If you don't come back, we are in a hurry." Dou Lin said, "Second Sister has already prepared the meal, and we will wait for you to come back to eat."

Before Dou Hua could speak, Xiao Huizi raised his head when he heard the meal, "Mmmmm~" howled.

Dou Hua's siblings laughed all at once, and Dou Hua stretched out her hand to pat the donkey's butt, and said, "I know you're hungry, Little Huizi, and you're indispensable, so I'll feed you two extra pancakes tonight."

"Little Huizi, my second sister and I made a basket of grass, it's all fresh, it's just for you to eat, it won't starve you." Dou Lin followed up.

Little Huizi shook his ears, heard clearly, flicked his tail happily, "En~" yelled in response.

The sisters of the Dou family laughed at such a humane little Huizi. The whole family loves the little Huizi very much. They never treat it badly when it comes to food, and they always give it some treats, especially Dou Lin and Dou Hong. It is a small one, and it can pick a lantern fruit, feed it a cucumber or something, and treat it like a little friend.

After entering the house, Dou Qing was busy unloading the cart, took Xiao Huizi to the donkey shed, first fed him a basin of water, and then filled a basin full of grass.

After drinking the water, Xiao Huizi plunged into the trough and ate, obviously he was really hungry.

Dou Hua led the two little ones to wash their hands. Dou Cui had already put the food on the table, even the bowls and chopsticks were set. In the basket was a stack of pancakes cut into triangles, a plate of hot and sour cucumbers, and a plate of Stir-fried beans with chili, and a sauce bowl, next to the bowl are washed shallots, shredded fresh chili, and gherkin strips. It is best to eat burritos with dipping sauce.

It was already dark and the whole family was hungry. One person picked up a piece of pancake, spread a layer of sauce on it, put shallots and chilli shreds on it, and added some vegetables, and rolled them together to eat. The taste was really great.

Since the last wheat harvest season, I ate flatbread and rolls, and the whole family liked it. Now that the family has enough food and spare money, they don’t have to be so frugal about food. The staple foods are white flour, steamed buns, pancakes, and noodles. I do it in turns, and sometimes I will cut a pound of meat occasionally, make dumplings, steamed buns.

The whole family is very satisfied with their current life, which is much better than half a year ago when they couldn't fill their stomachs in the bitter spring.

There was still a pot of mung bean soup in the pot, which was mostly cold now, and it tasted like a thirst quencher. After eating the pancakes and cabbage, each person drank two more bowls of mung bean soup to fill the gaps, and the stomach was really full.

After dinner, the siblings sat around together, and Dou Hua took out the deed of the shop for the younger ones to see.

"Eldest sister, what is this?" Dou Lin poked his head to look curiously, and saw two characters written on the top of the paper, which he recognized and read out, "House deed!"

Dou Lin read it twice, suddenly understood, and exclaimed happily, "Sister, is this the deed of the store we bought?"

Dou Hua nodded, thinking that her younger brother is really smart, he not only studies well, but also has a flexible mind, maybe after giving him a good study, he might not be able to get a good reputation in the exam.

"It's great that our family has really bought a shop." Dou Cui said happily.

"Is our shop in the county seat? Is it big? When will you take me to have a look, big sister?" Little Dou Hong hugged Dou Hua's arm and begged.

"Do you want to see it?" Dou Hua asked.

"Think." Dou Lin and Dou Hong said in unison, Dou Cui didn't say anything, but looked at Dou Hua expectantly.

Seeing this, Dou Hua said, "Okay, since you all want to see it, let's go the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow happens to be a market, so I'll take you to the market. I've thought about what you want to buy in the past two days. .”

"Ah! That's great." The two younger ones, Dou Lin and Dou Hong, were the most excited and cheered endlessly.

The reason why Dou Hua wanted to go the day after tomorrow was because she wanted to free up time tomorrow to go to her uncle's house and discuss it with them. After all, her family was full of young children, and she hoped to convince her aunt Li Come to help. She has eaten the rice cooked by Mrs. Li, and the pasta she made is quite good. With her help, it will definitely save a lot of trouble.

Although the shop is her own, Dou Hua didn't think about making a fortune in silence, thinking that her uncle's family is living a tight life. If the two partners open the noodle shop, both of them will earn more money, and life will always be the same. Will get better and better.

Before going to Dou Sishan's house, Dou Hua shared her thoughts with the younger ones. Although Dou Qing and the others were young, Dou Hua did not underestimate them, and would talk to them about whatever she did. Listen Their thoughts, family life, everything is discussed.

Regarding this matter, Dou Qing and the others have no objection, they all agree, there is no other reason, among the closest relatives, Dou Sishan's family is the best to them, and they help them a lot when they are most difficult. The ones that are used are often given away, and the delicious food made at home will not be missing for them.

Although it was originally a direct relationship, it was necessary to help and take care of her, but the Dou Hua family always kept this kindness and love in their hearts. Now that they have the ability, they are naturally willing to help the uncle's family.

"Sister, you can just go and talk to my uncle, we are all happy." Dou Qing, as the eldest brother, was the first to express his opinion.

"Yes, we are all happy, uncles and aunts are so kind to us, we should also treat them well." Dou Lin said.

Dou Cui nodded after listening.

Xiao Dou Hong shouted, "I am also willing."

Dou Hua nodded with a smile, "Alright, if you all agree, I'll talk to them tomorrow."

The next day, Dou Hua arrived at Dou Sishan's house before noon. The sun was hot at this time, and people in the village went to the fields in the morning when it was cool. Now it was almost noon, and they were at home.

Because of this, Dou Hua specially went to Dou Sishan's house at this time. Sure enough, Dou Sishan and his wife had just returned from the field and were washing their hands and faces.

As soon as she entered the door, Dou Hua shouted, "Uncle, Auntie, you are back from the field."

"Yeah, I just came back and sweated all over. Why don't you wash it here? Why, girl Hua'er, is there something wrong?" Dou Sishan asked.

"It's nothing serious, I just have something I want to discuss with my uncle and aunt." Dou Hua said.

"Oh, what's the matter, let's talk, your uncle and I can help you with an idea." Mrs. Li brought a few horses and put them in the shade of the yard. They sat down and felt cool with the wind blowing. point.

"It's like this. Qing'er and I went to the county seat yesterday, bought a shop, and thought about opening a noodle restaurant. I thought that the family is small and it's not worth it, so I came to ask my uncle and aunt if you want to go with me. I work together as a partner, this earns money, our two families split half and half, what do you think, uncle and aunt?" After Dou Hua directly expressed her thoughts, she looked at Dou Sishan and his wife, waiting for their decision. recover.

I saw Dou Sishan and his wife looked at each other, their faces were full of disbelief, they couldn't even speak for a moment, they were stunned.
