There were two little brothers squatting at the door, they were not very old, their clothes were thin and ragged, they were shivering from the cold, but their eyes were shining when they turned their heads.

"Are you two here to visit relatives?" Liu Yaoqing happened to have a handful of peanuts in his pocket, so he took them out for his two elder brothers to eat.

The two looked at each other, both swallowed, but didn't reach out to take it.

The brother who was talking in front of him had thin and tender fingers, he had never done any work at first glance, his face was white, and he was also good-looking, and he was dressed in good materials inside and out, so he was not the same kind of person as them.

"The inside is my grandpa's house. If you come to see relatives, then we are also relatives. Take it quickly." Liu Yaoqing carefully looked at the two elder brothers, those eyes were almost carved out of the same mold as Li's, he I knew this should be a relative.

"Brother Zhi and I came here with my father and mother." The older brother stretched out his hand to take the peanut and said in a low voice.

"I see." Liu Yaoqing nodded, and pulled Brother Zhezi into the door.

Liu Quanfu and Mrs. Li were not at home. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li were on the kang, and there were two people under Liu Yaoqing who had never seen him before, and they should be the parents of the brothers at the door, and there was another person sitting on the edge of the kang. girl.

There were some peanuts and candy on the low table on the kang, and Xiaobao held it by himself, and ate a few peanuts and a piece of candy.

"Grandpa, grandma." Liu Yaoqing didn't go too far, she pulled Brother Zhezi to find a bench and sat down, "Who are these two?"

"Dead man." Li said abruptly.

The woman's eye circles became red, and she raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and the back of her hand was covered with frostbite, which was extremely red and swollen.The man next to him lowered his head, his face was covered with layers of peeling, and his clothes were thin and stiff.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yaoqing didn't want to meddle in Old Man Liu's affairs, but if he happened to meet him, he had to take care of it no matter what. Who told him that he is not an ordinary person now, and he is one of the best in Shanggu Village?

You have to maintain your image all the time.

"Are you the child of the third child?" The woman wiped her tears and whispered, "I am your aunt."

This way Liu Yaoqing knew it.

The woman's name is Liu Jinmei, and she is the first child of old man Liu and Mrs. Li. Because it is a girl, the old couple don't like it.

Back then it seemed that Mrs. Li was going to sell her eldest daughter in exchange for money to buy food for Liu Quanfu, who had been doted on since she was born and never worked, but Liu Jinmei knew about it in advance, and she left home in a daze.

Over the years, Liu Jinmei has also found someone to bring back news, but old man Liu and Mrs. Li didn't take it to heart, and they didn't plan to ask her to come back to live for a few days. Anyway, this daughter is similar to an enemy, out of sight, out of mind.

Liu Yaoqing thinks that Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan are dressed in rags, and they have two brothers and a daughter, not even a young man. Old man Liu and Mrs. Li are probably afraid that they will be dragged down, or that they have no plans. He really regarded his daughter as dead; if Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan wore gold and silver clothes, and were followed by three or five maids, women, and servants, the attitude of old man Liu and Mrs. Li would definitely be different.

The world is impermanent, who would have thought that such hard-hearted parents would be able to watch their daughter suffer and suffer without being moved?

"You guys go back today, there is no place for you at home." Li Shi drooped her face and never looked at Liu Jinmei, "If you don't leave, I will turn around and have someone kick me out..."

Liu Jinmei looked sad, it seemed that she had something to say.

"Grandpa, tomorrow I'll invite you to drink on the mountain. Uncle Liu and all the old people in the village are going to come here to tell you." Liu Yaoqing said flatly, "Grandpa, if you want to go, I'll give you an extra seat now ..."

"I'll think about it." Old man Liu answered.

"Well, I have something to do on the mountain, so let's go first." Liu Yaoqing stood up neatly, and pulled Brother Zhezi, who had been silent all along, out the door together.

The two brothers were still at the door, they hadn't eaten much of the peanuts in their hands, when they saw Liu Yaoqing coming out from the upper room, they hurriedly smiled, stepped back cautiously, and made way for Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi to go out.

When he got outside, Brother Zhezi quickly walked a few steps and stood side by side with Liu Yaoqing, and asked, "Why didn't Brother Qing suddenly ask them?"

"Those two people are living a hard life. They haven't come back for so many years, and they brought their children here suddenly. I think there must be something wrong here." Liu Yaoqing said, "I don't know if it's good or bad, so we can't take them here rashly."

"Brother Qing, are you afraid that they will rely on us?" Brother Zhezi understood after thinking about it.

"That's not scary anymore. I'm just afraid that she won't be able to pick it up. Like my father, he always thinks about moving the good things from the mountain to grandpa so that uncle and the others can eat and use them. He doesn't even think about it. God How can there be such a good thing down there? Why is no one thinking of giving him something good? This kind of person is hateful and pitiful, but he is still my father. I don’t know why. If my aunt is like this, I can’t help killing my relatives righteously " Liu Yaoqing said at the end, and smiled to herself, "Brother Zhezi, don't laugh at me, I have a big heart."

Brother Zhezi pursed his lips, he really didn't smile, he looked at Liu Yaoqing with burning eyes, and said: "Brother Qing, I miss you every day."

"That's true, but we are mutual, and we will be like this for a lifetime in the future."

"Well, forever."

The mountain has already been on the right track, and the pancake workshop is in full swing, with bursts of heat coming out from inside, and it is not cold at all.Su Qi and the others all changed into clothes of the exact same style this year, with the words 'Qinliu Farm Pancake Workshop' on the back.

These are clothes made by Liu Yaoqing called Li Shi and some women who are good at needlework in the village. The material is thick and it is not cold at all.

Go to the storeroom to count the pancakes, record them well, then Liu Yaoqing called brother Yu who was busy with Su Qi and the others over, and told him: "Tomorrow, many people from the village will go up the mountain, so you should stay here at the pancake workshop and don't come out. You don’t need to come out to eat, I’ll ask someone to deliver it to you. In the evening, you go back and tell the second auntie that she doesn’t have to worry.”

Liu Quanyun is still in the town, silent, Liu Yaoqing still can't rest assured of Brother Yu, even if there is a possibility that people in the village have contact with Brother Yu, he is not at ease.

Since moving to the mountains, Brother Yu has obviously suffered from twitches, lives comfortably, and has a different mental outlook. He looks better and better.

"I know." Brother Yu nodded.

After coming out of the pancake workshop, Liu Yaoqing went to the shed again to arrange Liu Quanjin's work so that he would not have to work tomorrow, just make a banquet and eat vegetables.There are not many people working in the shed, and they are all acquaintances. Liu Santiao, Liu Shuihe, and Liu Daniu are completely busy.

After busying around, and finally going back to the house and climbing up the kang, Liu Yaoqing didn't want to get off the kang.

Brother Zhezi brought some cucumbers, half a bowl of strawberries, and half a bowl of tomatoes into the room, and said with a smile, "Let's eat some."

Fished Mao Bai who was sleeping soundly from the bed, Liu Yaoqing broke half a cucumber to coax Mao Bai to eat, the guy pecked it with his mouth in a daze, before he swallowed it, he felt that the taste was not right, and wanted to spit it out, Liu Yaoqing He squeezed his mouth with his hands.

The chubby Mao Bai wasn't angry either, but he felt a little wronged after swallowing it. He only likes to eat meat and nothing else...

"You bastard still playing with me?" Liu Yaoqing sternly said, "That's not okay, I'm your father, I hatched you and raised you, you can't be angry at me even if you are angry with anyone."

Brother Zhezi sat on the edge of the Kang and looked at it with a smile. After the two of them had a child, Brother Qing should also look like this.

After hearing the news, the old people in the village were willing to go up the mountain to drink, but none of them were empty-handed.Taking advantage of the family having dinner together at night, these old people, as if discussing it, asked their capable younger generation to stand in front of them, weigh this, then weigh that, and finally choose the best one.

"Come up the mountain with me tomorrow, see if I can help you with something," said the old man.

The young generation who were selected were very happy, and nodded like a chicken chopping rice, "That's natural." Of course, they didn't go to eat wine and food, but to see if they could help with work, it is best to ask Brother Qing to watch In my eyes, let's see if I can go up the mountain to help when I look back.

When the pancake workshop first started last year, there were still many people watching from the village, but now look at Brother Xuan leading the women in the village to earn more money than the strong men who went to the town and the county to do hard work. , and those who work in the pancake workshop can go home every day, and there are so many good things to take home during the Chinese New Year, and there is an extra [-] big money from Brother Qing for the Chinese New Year.

There are also a few men working in the shed. Although the salary is not as good as that of the pancake workshop, they actually calculate their wages every day. It is much easier than leaving their hometown to work as a coolie. Working is like playing, not tiring at all.

Brother Xuan and Liu Shuihe are both working on the mountain now, and they get two coins every day. The fifth mother-in-law is happy every day, and the family eats meat and fine grains. The fifth mother-in-law looks much younger after a new year .

With so many eyes watching in the village, who doesn't want to go to work on the mountain?

Liu Yaoqing asked Li Shi to prepare the dishes in advance, the banquet was very thick, the half-pan of pork bought years ago was still frozen outside, Li Shi is also willing to put meat in now, half of the dishes must be meat, and there are piles of meat Fresh pancakes are sure to fill you up.

The treasured fairy brew also asked Liu Yaoqing to take out a small can, no more, no less, there is still a small cup for each person.

Seeing that all the old people came with a young man, even Liu Wushu brought his clever little grandson Brother Shui, if there was anything Liu Yaoqing didn't understand, he didn't point it out, and asked Liu Wushu to lead the old man to sit down. Start serving dishes one by one.

The three brothers Su Qi, Su Liu, and Su Wu who served the food specially pulled away from the pancake workshop.

They all wore the same clothes, came in with a plate, put it on the table and left, no nonsense.It opened the eyes of these people, and they all guessed in their hearts that Liu Yaoqing was really generous. These children were originally homeless beggars, and there was no record in the yamen, but now they have become long-term workers on the mountain. It seems that life is much better than that of the villagers.

If anyone could fall into Brother Qing's eyes today, he might live a better life later on.
