Chapter 151 The Year of Reunion
Liu Hai’s school had half a month’s vacation in mid-January. Originally, Liu Hai didn’t plan to come back. The air ticket was too expensive. He worked in a gallery on weekends and saved enough money for portraits on the streets on weekdays. He planned to book a round-trip air ticket. Take advantage of the holidays to earn some money, and send the money to Zeng Guangtong before the Spring Festival, and ask him to convert it into RMB and send it home.
Liu Hai is very clear about the ease and guarantee of survival for a long time in the future that the money for those extravagant travel expenses in the outside world can bring to the family's life. Although he is sad, he thinks it is worth it in exchange for his family's peace of mind.
But a week ago, two paintings that Liu Hai placed in the gallery where he worked were bought by a customer at the same time. Not only did he have the money to buy air tickets, but he even had extra money to buy some gifts for his family.
Liu Hai was so entangled that he couldn't bear to spend more than 1 yuan on the road, but he was really homesick. When there was no hope, there was nothing he could do. He had to bear it. Now there is hope. , He couldn't hold on for a second, and felt that his whole body was empty. If he didn't go home and have a look, he couldn't do anything next. The mountains, rivers and waters are full, and there is no room for anything else.
So he finally gritted his teeth and booked a plane ticket. There was no flight to Kyoto on the day of the holiday, and he took the flight the night before.
After arriving in Kyoto at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, he called Zeng Guangtong at the airport. His plan was to meet with Zeng Guangtong. He would go directly to the train station to buy a ticket and come back. The train tickets during the Spring Festival were too difficult to buy, and he was afraid of delays. Every minute could cost him an extra day.
As a result, when he took the bus to the city center, Chen Zhenbei and Zeng Guangtong were standing there waiting for him. It turned out that when Liu Hai called, Chen Zhenbei happened to go over to deliver some rare New Year's goods to Zeng Guangtong. When he put down his things and was about to leave, Hearing Liu Hai's call.
Chen Zhenbei told Liu Hai that the train ticket to Yuancheng was not easy to buy that day, so he found an acquaintance to take Liu Hai directly to the train from Kyoto to Shanghai at [-] o'clock in the evening, and he had already agreed with the train conductor of that train Yes, when we arrive at Yuancheng, the train conductor will ask the staff there to send Liu Hai out of the station.
Liu Xia asked, "You stood on the train all night?"
Liu Hai chewed on a fragile bone and said, "How is it possible? When did Brother Zhenbei do such unreliable things? The conductors all have places to rest, and I sleep in the conductor's bunk.
My return ticket is for the tenth day of the lunar new year, and I can stay at home for ten days at most. Brother Zhenbei said that after the Spring Festival, the tickets will be more tense. He asked someone to buy a return ticket for me. He agreed on the night of the seventh day of the lunar new year, and he told me to take care of it. Go to the gate of the sleeper waiting hall of the railway station, and someone will be waiting for me there. "
The cat said: "When you go back, ask Uncle Zhenbei to buy a sleeping berth for Uncle Wu too. When Uncle Wu came back, his leather shoes were trampled to the point of being dirty. His ticket has a seat, so give it to someone who is holding a baby." , Uncle Wu stood all the way back, and I knew he was tired and flustered just by looking at him."
On the day Liu Ling came back, Liu Xia was in Shangcheng County. Liu Chuan and the leader went to Kaesong for business, and Liu Ling stayed to cook for the cat for a day. After lunch, Liu Chuan drove him to Wangning.
Liu Chuan thought for a while and asked, "Mao'er, what kind of eyes do you have? Why didn't I see that your fifth uncle is particularly tired and flustered?"
Mao'er said in a very embarrassed way: "When you came back, Uncle Wu had been resting for a long time. Of course you couldn't tell, but I could. Although Uncle Wu looked happy, I still knew that Uncle Wu was just tired." panic."
Liu Hai said: "I heard Brother Zhenbei say that he went to the military headquarters for a meeting on the [-]th day. When he came back, Brother Wu had already left. Brother Zhenbei gave me a phone number and a pager number, saying that Brother Five would go back someday. , Tell this person two days in advance to let him buy tickets for Fifth Brother, Brother Zhenbei has already explained to this person."
Maoer said: "Uncle Wu will definitely not tell others, I asked him the other day, Uncle Zhenbei bought him a sleeping berth every year, why didn't Uncle Wu come to him this year.
Uncle Wu said, there are so many people in China, how many sleepers are there?He's not that squeamish as a man. It takes less than ten hours from Kyoto to Yuancheng, and he will be home in a while, so he can't bother Uncle Zhenbei every time. "
Liu Chuan nodded: "Xiao Ling is right, no matter how good a friend is, there is a bottom line, not to mention that Zhenbei is looking for someone else to buy a ticket, because I always let my friends ask for help, even the best friends will get annoyed after a long time , even if that person is a staff member of Zhenbei's father."
Liu Hai said: "Brother Wu and Brother Zhenbei are not like this. I knew it when I was in Kyoto. Brother Zhenbei buys the ticket every time. Brother Wu still thinks the sleeping berth is expensive, but Brother Zhenbei has already bought the ticket." After buying it, Fifth Brother felt that if he didn't sit, it would make Brother Zhenbei lose face, as if he didn't care about others' help.
Every time he gave Brother Wan Zhenbei money, Fifth Brother would feel sorry for him for a long time.
When the two of us came back the year before last, it was Brother Zhenbei who bought the tickets in advance. The fifth brother told Brother Zhenbei that we used to go to school, and it took six or seven hours to commute back and forth every day, so we still have to go to school. It was running non-stop downhill, and it was no big deal for the two of us to stand on the train for a few hours. I told Brother Zhenbei not to let people buy tickets for us again.
As a result, Brother Zhenbei said, "Xiao Ling, don't talk about it anymore. Next time, I will buy you a soft sleeper." Brother Wu couldn't laugh or cry, and really didn't dare to say any more.
Brother Wu knows Brother Zhenbei's temperament, and also knows that Brother Zhenbei is really good to him. Brother Wu doesn't care about casual talk at all, and Brother Zhenbei becomes a big deal when he hears it. He feels that Brother Wu has suffered too much in the past. , I shouldn’t suffer any more crimes in the future, so as long as Brother Wu suffers less, Brother Zhenbei feels that he should do whatever he wants. "
Liu Chuan said: "Boy, friends treat us well, that's what they want to be friends, but we can't rely on other people's affection and take everything for granted. We have to do what we should do, so that we don't bother When you are with others, try not to trouble yourself."
Liu Hai nodded: "I know brother, I've been to Mr. Weng's house twice since I was in Paris. One time was when Uncle Zeng went to Europe for academic exchanges not long ago. Mr. Weng and some wealthy Chinese businessmen invited him Uncle Zeng and the others went to paint, and Uncle Zeng took me there; once I heard that Mr. Weng was ill, so I bought a gift and went to see him, and left after sitting for a while.
Mr. Weng is also very nice. He gave me his home phone number and said that I can call him anytime if I have any difficulties. I have never asked him anything except calling him after a while.
I know that people just take care of me because of Uncle Zeng's face, so we can't bother him. "
Liu Chuan collected the bowls and chopsticks and stood up: "That's right, baby, I'm relieved if you know this. Xiaohai, Yao'er, and Qianhe Mountain are covered by snow, and the bus service there is out of service. Our Qiu team will take us away later. I have to go to the bureau to change a car. We can’t even take this car around Sandaohe. You pack up your things, close the doors and windows and plug them in. Wait for me at home. We have to leave quickly, or it will be dark You can't go to the kiln before."
Liu Chuan went out, and Liu Xia and the others began to inspect the house and pack up their things.
Liu Xia and Mao'er usually keep their house very clean. Mao'er cleaned the house again the night before he left home to look for Liu Xia in Shangcheng County, so now all he needs are the cooking pot and a few bowls and chopsticks for lunch today. Clean up, nothing else to do.
Liu Xia and Mao'er refused to let Liu Hai do anything, the two of them quickly finished washing, and then began to pack the things they brought home.
When Liu Hai came back, the family was all together, and the family portrait must be taken. Maoer took out the camera and prepared to take it home.
When he saw Liu Hai, he decided to take a group photo of Smelly Sixth Uncle and Younger Uncle, so that in the future, when Younger Uncle misses Sixth Uncle, he will have more things to scratch at, instead of just those few pictures when he went to Kyoto that year. The photos taken at the scenic spots made him anxious.
Liu Hai saw the cat installing the lens, and came over curiously. He didn't know that Liu Xia had bought a camera.
Seeing the trademark logo on the camera, Liu Hai wondered if he had read it wrong: "Damn it, can't you? Leica! You, you are too good, how much money do you make in surveying and mapping? You can afford Lycra, you scare me to death!"
Liu Xia said strangely: "Although it is indeed expensive, you don't need to be so exaggerated, brother six? I count the bonus, and it is seven or eight hundred a month anyway. You don't feel that I bought a house that costs nearly ten thousand. You make such a big fuss about a 600 yuan camera, what kind of logic do you have?"
Liu Hai looked at the camera, then at Liu Xia and Mao'er, and asked in confusion, "How much do you think this camera is?",
The cat replied: "Six hundred, Uncle Zhenbei has too many cameras, it's useless to put them there. He wants to change some pocket money, so he sells it to my uncle. What's wrong, Uncle Liu?"
Liu Hai looked at the camera carefully with a ghostly expression on his face: "Lycra, 600 yuan? Is it RMB? If you say that this bag is [-] yuan, it's about the same, but you say this camera is [-] yuan...Xiaoxia, Maoer, although I I can’t play with a camera, but I often saw Brother Zhenbei playing a few years ago, so I know something about it. Now many of my classmates in Europe also have cameras. Your camera, the lens alone may be worth half of your set house!"
Both Liu Xia and Mao'er didn't quite believe it. Liu Xia took the camera, looked at it again and again, and handed it to Mao'er: "Your Uncle Zhenbei sold us the camera at a free price? No way, Brother Six? You didn't do it. Wrong? A camera is so expensive?"
Liu Hai said: "What do you mean a camera is so expensive? It's just a lens."
The cat didn't believe it at all, and waved his hand carelessly: "Impossible, you don't want to fool us when you come back from a two-day trip to a foreign country, we won't be fooled, stand up quickly, I will take a photo for you first, and then I will show it to you two Let's take a photo."
Liu Hai has always been kind-hearted, not to mention that good things belong to his brother who loves him the most, the cheaper the better, what is there to worry about?
He muttered: "You little old hat, forget it if you don't believe it, you have never heard of Laika, that's why you think I'm fooling you." Then he pulled Liu Xia to lean on the desk, He hugged his shoulder affectionately and took a group photo first.
Originally, it was a single photo and a group photo, but the cat became addicted to taking photos, and took a dozen photos of them at once, and took two photos for each room and living room. In the end, they were still under the oak and persimmon trees in the yard. I took a few photos.
Mao'er put away the camera contentedly and said to Liu Hai: "My photography skills are very good. Last year when Uncle Wu came back during the Spring Festival, I took a lot of pictures of him at our house. After we washed them, we sent them to him.
A few days later, Uncle Zhenbei wrote to my younger uncle, saying that the photo I took of Uncle Wu standing on the edge of our ditch and looking at the side of Pheasant Ridge was as good as a photographer’s. Let the two of us send several photos to Uncle Wu that we thought were not very good photos. "
Liu Hai raised his thumbs up: "Well, it does look like a photographer in terms of posture, but I think that with such a good camera, it shouldn't be bad if you just take a picture casually."
Mao'er asked Liu Hai to take several photos of him and Liu Xia, and he wanted to take some more photos with Liu Hai and Liu Xia. Liu Xia called Fu Dong through the wall to help.
Most of the people in the team whose families were in Yuancheng had left. Fu Dong was the director of the office and had to arrange shifts and a lot of miscellaneous things. He didn't leave until [-] o'clock every year.
Mr. Fu's family has good conditions. He has a seagull camera. He used Liu Xia's camera today. He is very envious. He discussed with Liu Xia and lent him a few days when the spring is warmer. He wants to take his parents to the Shaolin Temple. play a trip.
Liu Xia readily agreed.
As soon as Fu Dong left, Liu Chuan and Qiu Zhiwu came in. They quickly took their things and went out. Liu Hai walked to the balcony door, looked back at the house and said, "Yaoer, your house is so nice, it's just so bare. It's a pity to live here, there is no mood and no atmosphere, I will design for you, can you decorate it?"
Mao'er didn't wait for Liu Xia's answer, and pushed Liu Hai out: "Don't come up with any stupid ideas, Uncle Liu, I just like the way our house is now, we don't decorate it."
Renovation is so expensive, once the money is spent, my uncle will have to find a way to go out to do private work, and then my uncle will be exhausted, why don't you replace him?
Liu Hai said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry today, we will talk about it when we come back after the Chinese New Year."
Liu Xia gently rubbed the back of the cat's head: "Little smelly cat."
A group of people hurried on their way desperately, and finally climbed to the top of the kiln slope before it was completely dark. Liu Ling, who was hugged by Liu Xia to pick them up, yelled and yelled, Liu Hai wished he could grow as many arms as Avalokitesvara, so that He can hold all the loved ones he misses day and night.
After hugging Liu Mao, Liu Ling, Liu Yu, and Liu Wei one by one, he finally hugged his eldest brother Liu Kui.
Liu Kui smiled cheerfully, letting him rub his nose, tears and sweat all over his shoulders: "Hey, I've been thinking about it for the past two days, the persimmons on the persimmon trees by the yard have already been eaten by Xiao Chonger, Why these days there are still groups of magpies falling on the top? It turns out that Xiaohai is coming back, okay, let’s not feel bad, baby, hurry home and see our uncle and mother, you don’t know what our mother wants What do you want to be?"
Sun Chang'e never took her eyes off Liu Hai's face from seeing Liu Hai at Pokou to eating at Liu Hai. She looked at him for a while and smiled, and then wiped her tears again. She was happy and sad at the same time. What should I do: The child came back safe and sound, and it seems that he is not an old man after spending miles outside, but he has to leave again after staying at home for ten or eight days. This time, I am afraid it will take several years.
Liu Hai made up his mind that he would never cry when he saw Liu Changqing and Sun Chang'e, but whenever he saw Sun Chang'e crying, he couldn't help it, and the tears would fall down patter.
Liu Changqing patted Sun Chang'e's hand: "I see that the baby is not thin, and he is not as thin as you think, and can't even put on a thick padded jacket. Shouldn't he be happy! Don't feel bad, once you feel bad, the baby will also feel bad."
Sun Chang'e wiped her tears and smiled: "That's right, little turtle looks more foreign than when he was in Kyoto, why should I feel bad? If I saw him on the street, I might not even dare to recognize him!" "
Liu Hai's eyes and nose were red, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he still made Sun Chang'e very happy: "Mom, really? I've become so handsome that I almost can't even recognize you?"
Sun Chang'e caressed Liu Hai's face and said, "Boy, I've gone to a foreign country, and I still think about becoming handsome all day long? I'm not trying to make you happy, baby, I see you are more handsome than your brothers now, I Xiaohai is more handsome The ones that look better when they look taller, Mom can’t get enough of them.”
Mao'er has only been in high school for one semester, and he has already practiced the method of fast eating. He has already finished his meal, squeezed between Liu Xia and Liu Ling, facing the corner of the Kang, stuffing his mouth with food that is obviously full. The baked buns that I still want to eat because they look so good, while talking to Liu Rui who is panicked after being separated for several days, and at the same time repairing Liu Yun who wants to make trouble with Liu Hai in the past, just like that, he didn’t delay Hitting Liu Hai sneakily: "It's Uncle Six, don't feel inferior, you are not as handsome as my little uncle, but you are actually quite handsome."
Liu Yun, who was nailed to the wall by the cat with one foot against his stomach and couldn't move, was still laughing happily and shouted at Liu Hai: "I'm not as handsome as my father. My father can catch spies. He is the most handsome and the most handsome!" , Don’t you think so, Xiao Lei?”
Sitting in Liu Kui's arms and playing with a flashlight, Liu Lei hit the beam of light on Liu Hai's face: "That's right, my father can catch hooligans, my father is the most handsome, you, you, you are the second most handsome."
Everyone roared with laughter: "You two little sycophants, I really know how to shoot will make your father feel comfortable."
Liu Chuan pulled out a sweet potato from the inner stove, blew the ashes on it, passed Liu Wei, Liu Xin, and Liu Yu, and threw it to Liu Hai from a distance: "It's so soft and sweet." Then he smiled. Keju said to the two little guys very kindly: "Since Dad is the most handsome, and you two treat Dad so much, why don't you go to Rongze Kindergarten with Dad after the Chinese New Year?"
The two little sycophants immediately fell silent, one jumped into the cat's arms and pretended to be dead, and the other turned around and got into Liu Kui's sweater to hide himself, causing everyone to burst into laughter again.
Little fatty Liu Xuan was standing in Liu Mao's arms obediently letting him feed and eat, but seeing Liu Lei propping up Liu Kui's sweater felt amused, turned around, dragged Liu Mao's sweater and got in too.
Yufang, who was sitting in front of the stove roasting sweet potatoes, was afraid that Liu Mao's sweater would be broken, so she tried to pull Liu Xuan out, but the little fat man hugged Liu Mao's waist tightly and refused to let go.
Liu Mao smiled lightly and said to Yufang: "It's okay, just play around." Then he patted the little fat man's buttocks: "If you are always in a panic, come out quickly, and you will become a fool if you lack oxygen for a long time."
Xiumei tossed a steamed bun to Liu Yu: "Chuan'er, it's Chinese New Year, don't scare me."
Liu Yun and Liu Lei did not attend kindergarten in Rongze.
The two little guys went to that individual kindergarten for a long time, and they sent a page to Liu Chuan, asking them to go there quickly. At that time, Liu Chuan was not in Rongze, so he called Mao'er and asked Su Xiaohui to check the situation.
Mao'er informed Su Xiaohui that she would go with her. When the two little guys started arguing, Su Xiaohui couldn't handle it alone, so Mao'er had to go along with her.
In fact, it was Mao'er who was thinking about Liu Yun and Liu Lei all day long, and he didn't approve of sending the two little bastards to that dilapidated and narrow yard in such a hot day at all.
Mao'er and Su Xiaohui walked to the gate of the hydrographic team and met Liu Kui.A large group of children came to Rongze. Liu Kui and Xiumei were worried, especially Liu Yun and Liu Lei. He predicted that the two little guys would not go to kindergarten honestly. He was afraid that Liu Chuan and Su Xiaohui would be young and energetic. Will use violent means to repair the two little guys, and come here to see the situation.
Hearing Su Xiaohui explain the matter clearly in a few words, Liu Kui became anxious, waved for a three-wheeled car, and went with the two of them, walked through the small alley with twists and turns, and took the two of them from the small room where the sundries were placed. A little guy whose voice was hoarse from crying was carried out, and then went all the way to the home of the hydrographic team. Liu Kui didn't say a word except to comfort the two little guys.
It turned out that the little guy who was so happy all day long and wanted to open his stomach when he saw a new gadget, now he is lying on Mao'er's shoulder and Liu Kui's arms, his eyes are dim, and he keeps talking. Sobbing, Liu Wei and Liu Xin didn't even look at the watermelon brought to them.
Liu Kui asked Su Xiaohui: "Does the child have to go to kindergarten?"
Su Xiaohui said a little helplessly: "It's not, it's just, it's just..., other people's children are now going to kindergarten for early intelligence training. They learn many words early, they also learn pinyin, arithmetic, and some of them also learn piano. Electronic organ, erhu, etc. Now people are trying to teach children art things to cultivate their quality, and I always want to teach children some things."
Liu Kui didn't quite understand: "Quality? Well, Xiao Ling, Xiao Hai, Yao'er, and Chuan'er have never been to kindergarten. Do you think they are... poorer than others?"
Although Liu Kui's sentence was a question, it made Su Xiaohui quite terrified. Being questioned by someone she was grateful and respected from the bottom of her heart, people usually feel like this, Su Xiaohui didn't know how to explain: "Brother, I didn't mean that , I, I just look at other people. I’m learning now, I’m afraid that if the two of them don’t know anything in the future, they will be inferior.”
Liu Kui didn't understand even more: "If you don't know anything, don't you just know how to play the piano? If you don't know how to play the piano, you will be inferior? There are many serious things in the world. Playing the piano is not a bad skill, but there are many things more important and useful than him. It's nothing more than that there are few people who can play the piano, so it looks more expensive.
I don't think that people look down on people who don't know how to play and play the piano. Chuan'er, Xiaoling, and Xiaoxia don't know all these fancy things. I think they are more rare than anyone else! "
Liu Wei, Liu Xin, and Mao'er nodded together: "That's right, my uncles don't lose their prices wherever they go."
Mao'er also added: "My uncle is the same, my uncle is no worse than the people in the city."
Su Xiaohui hesitated and said: "Actually, big brother, I don't know what to do, I don't know if I should send my child to Rongze to go to kindergarten, or leave home and follow my uncle, my mother, and you.
Seeing other people's children learn those things, I think they have to learn too, or they will not be as good as others in the future;
But looking at our brothers, Xiaowei, Maoer, and the others, I feel that even those who can play the piano and sing songs are not as good as our children. I am actually very happy to be able to be like one of them in Changli. "
Liu Kui said: "You don't need to be like others, just like Chuan'er will win, I think Chuan'er is the best kid.
Xiaohui, our family just doesn’t know how to teach playing the piano and singing. If it’s about writing and arithmetic, I think my uncle is better than anyone else. Your sister-in-law and I have discussed it. We still have land at home. They are getting old, and we can't lose our home because of business, and the land can't be deserted, so we will go home often in the future. As long as I leave the house, I will teach the two children.
If you can trust my uncle and elder brother, I will make the decision today. We Xiaoyun and Xiaolei will not go to kindergarten, so we will go home with me today.
The child is only this big, the world is big and the child is not allowed to play, tell the child to nest in the small courtyard of the suffocated dead man, and cannot even go out for a day, you think the child can be seen? "
Su Xiaohui looked at the prickly heat and listless appearance of the two sons who had just gone for a while, and then thought about the two naughty boys who were at home a few days ago, lively and happy all day long, nodded: "Brother Zhong , In the future, when the child goes to school, you can tell my uncle what to do, and I will take the child home in a while."
The two little guys were rescued by their uncle and brothers, and now they are living a happy life in the depths of Fengxi Mountain.
It's just that after the weather turned cooler, the two naughty boys started to pick up the brushes and practice calligraphy, for one to two hours a day.
Liu Changqing is much gentler and kinder to his grandson than to his son. The two naughty boys practice calligraphy, and they never force time. Just don't be careless.
The two little guys seem to prove to their mother that they are the best children even if they don’t go to kindergarten. Basically, they practice for about two hours a day, and they are very excited. .
Liu Kui and Xiumei are now at home almost ten days a month, and there is a local saying that "one episode will not be opened three times", which means that after a market or meeting in a place, the next three days do not need to be open for business, because it is open. The door is also out of business.
Liu Kui’s cloth sales are also affected by this law. At the beginning, when the market was completely empty, the demand was too high. This law was not obvious to them, but it will gradually become apparent after a long time.
Other merchants may not like this phenomenon very much, but this is exactly what Liu Kui and Xiumei wanted. They would die if they didn't go home for three days. They were thinking about their children, the elderly, and the crops in the field. This situation allows them to temporarily close their doors and go home without worrying about losing too much business.
Liu Kui has already followed Liu Chuan to Yu Baozhong's place to fetch goods twice more. The one in October was relatively small, and this time in December is similar to the first time. The supply of goods is sufficient and stable. The two of them feel that the business is doing very well now. , I have already touched the doorway of doing business.
Regarding the price that Liu Xia set up without telling them, the two of them didn't know how to express their happiness. My younger brother, it's not appropriate to say that he is grateful, but it is more appropriate to say that he is pleased and proud. Back when Yaoer pulled things back and asked them to set their own prices, it is estimated that the money they earned was not even one-fifth of what they are now, and they might still be able to pay for it.
Xiumei thinks this is the best day in the world, right?I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, I can make money safely, and as long as the weather is normal, I can go home every day. Although I am tired from running back and forth every day, how can I make money without being tired?In the past, they were exhausted and still couldn't eat enough!She and Liu Kui are making more money in a day now than Liu Mao made in a year before.
When Liu Kui and Xiumei were at home, Liu Kui was basically teaching the children to practice calligraphy.
Liu Changqing is still digging stones when he has free time. The low stone wall of his house has been completely surrounded, and the stone piles needed for the section up to the kiln slope will take him a lot of time.
And he felt that Liu Kui taught better than him, he was old, and couldn't learn Liu Kui's humor in front of the children, and the children practiced calligraphy with him, not as relaxed and happy as Liu Kui.
Seeing the panic-stricken appearance of the two sons, Yanagawa laughed triumphantly.
Su Xiaohui held up the sweater needle and wool to Nana, letting her watch how she got started, glanced at Liu Chuan, and said very calmly: "Do you think they are really afraid of your trick like that? Hey, they are teasing you Son!"
As soon as she said that, Liu Yun and Liu Lei made identical grimaces at Liu Chuan at the same time: "Father, if you dare to ask us to go to Rongze again, grandpa and uncle will give you eight petals in your ass."
Everyone smiled at Liu Chuan, and the two little guys laughed too.
Liu Xia turned around and tapped Liu Yun on the head: "A fox pretends to be a tiger."
Liu Yun blinked his eyes and said loudly, "It's majestic."
Liu Lei yelled, "Facing the wall and thinking about the past."
Nana answered over there: "I have a photographic memory."
Liu Xin answered: "Flee in the wind."
Liu Yun, Liu Lei, and Nana said at the same time, "Run away."
Liu Xin: "Um...yao...yao..."
Mao'er answered: "Bewitching words to confuse people."
The little ones rolled their eyes together: "All? All..."
Liu Xin turned around for a while and said, "I can't remember, does 'everyone gathers firewood and the fire burns high' count?"
Liu Kui looked at Liu Xia and Liu Ling uncertainly: "I think it should be counted?"
Mao'er said loudly and firmly: "Forget it, it's not just four words connected together that make an idiom, it's a multi-word idiom."
Liu Xia turned around slightly, put his hands behind his back, hugged Mao'er and Liu Yun together, swayed back and forth a few times back and forth to show his praise.
Mao'er leaned on Liu Xia's back happily and couldn't get up: "Uncle, carry it a few more times."
Liu Hai scratched his head and asked Liu Ling: "Brother, which dish is this for fun? I don't understand what's going on, why did it turn into a family idiom solitaire?"
Liu Ling laughed: "Isn't Mao'er always bad at writing essays, and every exam is called pulling points? My elder brother is afraid that our children will do the same in the future. When he comes back and is fine, he will read idioms to the children. I also play this kind of solitaire game with them, and the children can see it, and now our mother and fourth sister-in-law also read to the children when they have time, and the children have learned a lot of idioms."
Liu Hai suddenly realized, and then he looked at the little guys who were continuing to fight the dragon: "It's really interesting, I also joined the battle...wait for death? Dead... dead... closed moon shame!"
Mao'er turned to look at Liu Xia, who was thinking of idioms with everyone, and gently tugged on Liu Ling's sleeve.
Liu Ling glanced at Liu Xia calmly, then moved back as if nothing had happened, and half-lyed on the kang against the quilt.
Mao'er asked Liu Yun, who was full of combat power, to lie on Liu Xia's back and continue to confront idioms. He smiled and crawled to Liu Ling's side: "Uncle Wu, I heard that your army is the best in China, tell me about your army. What advanced weapons are there?"
When he got to Liu Ling's side, he saw Liu Xia was gently shaking Liu Yun on his back thinking of idioms. He didn't pay much attention to him, so he lay down in front of Liu Ling and whispered to him.
Liu Ling listened quietly, sometimes nodding slightly, sometimes shaking her head slightly to ask Mao'er a few words, the smile on her face was deep and shallow.
Liu Hai is very clear about the ease and guarantee of survival for a long time in the future that the money for those extravagant travel expenses in the outside world can bring to the family's life. Although he is sad, he thinks it is worth it in exchange for his family's peace of mind.
But a week ago, two paintings that Liu Hai placed in the gallery where he worked were bought by a customer at the same time. Not only did he have the money to buy air tickets, but he even had extra money to buy some gifts for his family.
Liu Hai was so entangled that he couldn't bear to spend more than 1 yuan on the road, but he was really homesick. When there was no hope, there was nothing he could do. He had to bear it. Now there is hope. , He couldn't hold on for a second, and felt that his whole body was empty. If he didn't go home and have a look, he couldn't do anything next. The mountains, rivers and waters are full, and there is no room for anything else.
So he finally gritted his teeth and booked a plane ticket. There was no flight to Kyoto on the day of the holiday, and he took the flight the night before.
After arriving in Kyoto at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, he called Zeng Guangtong at the airport. His plan was to meet with Zeng Guangtong. He would go directly to the train station to buy a ticket and come back. The train tickets during the Spring Festival were too difficult to buy, and he was afraid of delays. Every minute could cost him an extra day.
As a result, when he took the bus to the city center, Chen Zhenbei and Zeng Guangtong were standing there waiting for him. It turned out that when Liu Hai called, Chen Zhenbei happened to go over to deliver some rare New Year's goods to Zeng Guangtong. When he put down his things and was about to leave, Hearing Liu Hai's call.
Chen Zhenbei told Liu Hai that the train ticket to Yuancheng was not easy to buy that day, so he found an acquaintance to take Liu Hai directly to the train from Kyoto to Shanghai at [-] o'clock in the evening, and he had already agreed with the train conductor of that train Yes, when we arrive at Yuancheng, the train conductor will ask the staff there to send Liu Hai out of the station.
Liu Xia asked, "You stood on the train all night?"
Liu Hai chewed on a fragile bone and said, "How is it possible? When did Brother Zhenbei do such unreliable things? The conductors all have places to rest, and I sleep in the conductor's bunk.
My return ticket is for the tenth day of the lunar new year, and I can stay at home for ten days at most. Brother Zhenbei said that after the Spring Festival, the tickets will be more tense. He asked someone to buy a return ticket for me. He agreed on the night of the seventh day of the lunar new year, and he told me to take care of it. Go to the gate of the sleeper waiting hall of the railway station, and someone will be waiting for me there. "
The cat said: "When you go back, ask Uncle Zhenbei to buy a sleeping berth for Uncle Wu too. When Uncle Wu came back, his leather shoes were trampled to the point of being dirty. His ticket has a seat, so give it to someone who is holding a baby." , Uncle Wu stood all the way back, and I knew he was tired and flustered just by looking at him."
On the day Liu Ling came back, Liu Xia was in Shangcheng County. Liu Chuan and the leader went to Kaesong for business, and Liu Ling stayed to cook for the cat for a day. After lunch, Liu Chuan drove him to Wangning.
Liu Chuan thought for a while and asked, "Mao'er, what kind of eyes do you have? Why didn't I see that your fifth uncle is particularly tired and flustered?"
Mao'er said in a very embarrassed way: "When you came back, Uncle Wu had been resting for a long time. Of course you couldn't tell, but I could. Although Uncle Wu looked happy, I still knew that Uncle Wu was just tired." panic."
Liu Hai said: "I heard Brother Zhenbei say that he went to the military headquarters for a meeting on the [-]th day. When he came back, Brother Wu had already left. Brother Zhenbei gave me a phone number and a pager number, saying that Brother Five would go back someday. , Tell this person two days in advance to let him buy tickets for Fifth Brother, Brother Zhenbei has already explained to this person."
Maoer said: "Uncle Wu will definitely not tell others, I asked him the other day, Uncle Zhenbei bought him a sleeping berth every year, why didn't Uncle Wu come to him this year.
Uncle Wu said, there are so many people in China, how many sleepers are there?He's not that squeamish as a man. It takes less than ten hours from Kyoto to Yuancheng, and he will be home in a while, so he can't bother Uncle Zhenbei every time. "
Liu Chuan nodded: "Xiao Ling is right, no matter how good a friend is, there is a bottom line, not to mention that Zhenbei is looking for someone else to buy a ticket, because I always let my friends ask for help, even the best friends will get annoyed after a long time , even if that person is a staff member of Zhenbei's father."
Liu Hai said: "Brother Wu and Brother Zhenbei are not like this. I knew it when I was in Kyoto. Brother Zhenbei buys the ticket every time. Brother Wu still thinks the sleeping berth is expensive, but Brother Zhenbei has already bought the ticket." After buying it, Fifth Brother felt that if he didn't sit, it would make Brother Zhenbei lose face, as if he didn't care about others' help.
Every time he gave Brother Wan Zhenbei money, Fifth Brother would feel sorry for him for a long time.
When the two of us came back the year before last, it was Brother Zhenbei who bought the tickets in advance. The fifth brother told Brother Zhenbei that we used to go to school, and it took six or seven hours to commute back and forth every day, so we still have to go to school. It was running non-stop downhill, and it was no big deal for the two of us to stand on the train for a few hours. I told Brother Zhenbei not to let people buy tickets for us again.
As a result, Brother Zhenbei said, "Xiao Ling, don't talk about it anymore. Next time, I will buy you a soft sleeper." Brother Wu couldn't laugh or cry, and really didn't dare to say any more.
Brother Wu knows Brother Zhenbei's temperament, and also knows that Brother Zhenbei is really good to him. Brother Wu doesn't care about casual talk at all, and Brother Zhenbei becomes a big deal when he hears it. He feels that Brother Wu has suffered too much in the past. , I shouldn’t suffer any more crimes in the future, so as long as Brother Wu suffers less, Brother Zhenbei feels that he should do whatever he wants. "
Liu Chuan said: "Boy, friends treat us well, that's what they want to be friends, but we can't rely on other people's affection and take everything for granted. We have to do what we should do, so that we don't bother When you are with others, try not to trouble yourself."
Liu Hai nodded: "I know brother, I've been to Mr. Weng's house twice since I was in Paris. One time was when Uncle Zeng went to Europe for academic exchanges not long ago. Mr. Weng and some wealthy Chinese businessmen invited him Uncle Zeng and the others went to paint, and Uncle Zeng took me there; once I heard that Mr. Weng was ill, so I bought a gift and went to see him, and left after sitting for a while.
Mr. Weng is also very nice. He gave me his home phone number and said that I can call him anytime if I have any difficulties. I have never asked him anything except calling him after a while.
I know that people just take care of me because of Uncle Zeng's face, so we can't bother him. "
Liu Chuan collected the bowls and chopsticks and stood up: "That's right, baby, I'm relieved if you know this. Xiaohai, Yao'er, and Qianhe Mountain are covered by snow, and the bus service there is out of service. Our Qiu team will take us away later. I have to go to the bureau to change a car. We can’t even take this car around Sandaohe. You pack up your things, close the doors and windows and plug them in. Wait for me at home. We have to leave quickly, or it will be dark You can't go to the kiln before."
Liu Chuan went out, and Liu Xia and the others began to inspect the house and pack up their things.
Liu Xia and Mao'er usually keep their house very clean. Mao'er cleaned the house again the night before he left home to look for Liu Xia in Shangcheng County, so now all he needs are the cooking pot and a few bowls and chopsticks for lunch today. Clean up, nothing else to do.
Liu Xia and Mao'er refused to let Liu Hai do anything, the two of them quickly finished washing, and then began to pack the things they brought home.
When Liu Hai came back, the family was all together, and the family portrait must be taken. Maoer took out the camera and prepared to take it home.
When he saw Liu Hai, he decided to take a group photo of Smelly Sixth Uncle and Younger Uncle, so that in the future, when Younger Uncle misses Sixth Uncle, he will have more things to scratch at, instead of just those few pictures when he went to Kyoto that year. The photos taken at the scenic spots made him anxious.
Liu Hai saw the cat installing the lens, and came over curiously. He didn't know that Liu Xia had bought a camera.
Seeing the trademark logo on the camera, Liu Hai wondered if he had read it wrong: "Damn it, can't you? Leica! You, you are too good, how much money do you make in surveying and mapping? You can afford Lycra, you scare me to death!"
Liu Xia said strangely: "Although it is indeed expensive, you don't need to be so exaggerated, brother six? I count the bonus, and it is seven or eight hundred a month anyway. You don't feel that I bought a house that costs nearly ten thousand. You make such a big fuss about a 600 yuan camera, what kind of logic do you have?"
Liu Hai looked at the camera, then at Liu Xia and Mao'er, and asked in confusion, "How much do you think this camera is?",
The cat replied: "Six hundred, Uncle Zhenbei has too many cameras, it's useless to put them there. He wants to change some pocket money, so he sells it to my uncle. What's wrong, Uncle Liu?"
Liu Hai looked at the camera carefully with a ghostly expression on his face: "Lycra, 600 yuan? Is it RMB? If you say that this bag is [-] yuan, it's about the same, but you say this camera is [-] yuan...Xiaoxia, Maoer, although I I can’t play with a camera, but I often saw Brother Zhenbei playing a few years ago, so I know something about it. Now many of my classmates in Europe also have cameras. Your camera, the lens alone may be worth half of your set house!"
Both Liu Xia and Mao'er didn't quite believe it. Liu Xia took the camera, looked at it again and again, and handed it to Mao'er: "Your Uncle Zhenbei sold us the camera at a free price? No way, Brother Six? You didn't do it. Wrong? A camera is so expensive?"
Liu Hai said: "What do you mean a camera is so expensive? It's just a lens."
The cat didn't believe it at all, and waved his hand carelessly: "Impossible, you don't want to fool us when you come back from a two-day trip to a foreign country, we won't be fooled, stand up quickly, I will take a photo for you first, and then I will show it to you two Let's take a photo."
Liu Hai has always been kind-hearted, not to mention that good things belong to his brother who loves him the most, the cheaper the better, what is there to worry about?
He muttered: "You little old hat, forget it if you don't believe it, you have never heard of Laika, that's why you think I'm fooling you." Then he pulled Liu Xia to lean on the desk, He hugged his shoulder affectionately and took a group photo first.
Originally, it was a single photo and a group photo, but the cat became addicted to taking photos, and took a dozen photos of them at once, and took two photos for each room and living room. In the end, they were still under the oak and persimmon trees in the yard. I took a few photos.
Mao'er put away the camera contentedly and said to Liu Hai: "My photography skills are very good. Last year when Uncle Wu came back during the Spring Festival, I took a lot of pictures of him at our house. After we washed them, we sent them to him.
A few days later, Uncle Zhenbei wrote to my younger uncle, saying that the photo I took of Uncle Wu standing on the edge of our ditch and looking at the side of Pheasant Ridge was as good as a photographer’s. Let the two of us send several photos to Uncle Wu that we thought were not very good photos. "
Liu Hai raised his thumbs up: "Well, it does look like a photographer in terms of posture, but I think that with such a good camera, it shouldn't be bad if you just take a picture casually."
Mao'er asked Liu Hai to take several photos of him and Liu Xia, and he wanted to take some more photos with Liu Hai and Liu Xia. Liu Xia called Fu Dong through the wall to help.
Most of the people in the team whose families were in Yuancheng had left. Fu Dong was the director of the office and had to arrange shifts and a lot of miscellaneous things. He didn't leave until [-] o'clock every year.
Mr. Fu's family has good conditions. He has a seagull camera. He used Liu Xia's camera today. He is very envious. He discussed with Liu Xia and lent him a few days when the spring is warmer. He wants to take his parents to the Shaolin Temple. play a trip.
Liu Xia readily agreed.
As soon as Fu Dong left, Liu Chuan and Qiu Zhiwu came in. They quickly took their things and went out. Liu Hai walked to the balcony door, looked back at the house and said, "Yaoer, your house is so nice, it's just so bare. It's a pity to live here, there is no mood and no atmosphere, I will design for you, can you decorate it?"
Mao'er didn't wait for Liu Xia's answer, and pushed Liu Hai out: "Don't come up with any stupid ideas, Uncle Liu, I just like the way our house is now, we don't decorate it."
Renovation is so expensive, once the money is spent, my uncle will have to find a way to go out to do private work, and then my uncle will be exhausted, why don't you replace him?
Liu Hai said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry today, we will talk about it when we come back after the Chinese New Year."
Liu Xia gently rubbed the back of the cat's head: "Little smelly cat."
A group of people hurried on their way desperately, and finally climbed to the top of the kiln slope before it was completely dark. Liu Ling, who was hugged by Liu Xia to pick them up, yelled and yelled, Liu Hai wished he could grow as many arms as Avalokitesvara, so that He can hold all the loved ones he misses day and night.
After hugging Liu Mao, Liu Ling, Liu Yu, and Liu Wei one by one, he finally hugged his eldest brother Liu Kui.
Liu Kui smiled cheerfully, letting him rub his nose, tears and sweat all over his shoulders: "Hey, I've been thinking about it for the past two days, the persimmons on the persimmon trees by the yard have already been eaten by Xiao Chonger, Why these days there are still groups of magpies falling on the top? It turns out that Xiaohai is coming back, okay, let’s not feel bad, baby, hurry home and see our uncle and mother, you don’t know what our mother wants What do you want to be?"
Sun Chang'e never took her eyes off Liu Hai's face from seeing Liu Hai at Pokou to eating at Liu Hai. She looked at him for a while and smiled, and then wiped her tears again. She was happy and sad at the same time. What should I do: The child came back safe and sound, and it seems that he is not an old man after spending miles outside, but he has to leave again after staying at home for ten or eight days. This time, I am afraid it will take several years.
Liu Hai made up his mind that he would never cry when he saw Liu Changqing and Sun Chang'e, but whenever he saw Sun Chang'e crying, he couldn't help it, and the tears would fall down patter.
Liu Changqing patted Sun Chang'e's hand: "I see that the baby is not thin, and he is not as thin as you think, and can't even put on a thick padded jacket. Shouldn't he be happy! Don't feel bad, once you feel bad, the baby will also feel bad."
Sun Chang'e wiped her tears and smiled: "That's right, little turtle looks more foreign than when he was in Kyoto, why should I feel bad? If I saw him on the street, I might not even dare to recognize him!" "
Liu Hai's eyes and nose were red, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he still made Sun Chang'e very happy: "Mom, really? I've become so handsome that I almost can't even recognize you?"
Sun Chang'e caressed Liu Hai's face and said, "Boy, I've gone to a foreign country, and I still think about becoming handsome all day long? I'm not trying to make you happy, baby, I see you are more handsome than your brothers now, I Xiaohai is more handsome The ones that look better when they look taller, Mom can’t get enough of them.”
Mao'er has only been in high school for one semester, and he has already practiced the method of fast eating. He has already finished his meal, squeezed between Liu Xia and Liu Ling, facing the corner of the Kang, stuffing his mouth with food that is obviously full. The baked buns that I still want to eat because they look so good, while talking to Liu Rui who is panicked after being separated for several days, and at the same time repairing Liu Yun who wants to make trouble with Liu Hai in the past, just like that, he didn’t delay Hitting Liu Hai sneakily: "It's Uncle Six, don't feel inferior, you are not as handsome as my little uncle, but you are actually quite handsome."
Liu Yun, who was nailed to the wall by the cat with one foot against his stomach and couldn't move, was still laughing happily and shouted at Liu Hai: "I'm not as handsome as my father. My father can catch spies. He is the most handsome and the most handsome!" , Don’t you think so, Xiao Lei?”
Sitting in Liu Kui's arms and playing with a flashlight, Liu Lei hit the beam of light on Liu Hai's face: "That's right, my father can catch hooligans, my father is the most handsome, you, you, you are the second most handsome."
Everyone roared with laughter: "You two little sycophants, I really know how to shoot will make your father feel comfortable."
Liu Chuan pulled out a sweet potato from the inner stove, blew the ashes on it, passed Liu Wei, Liu Xin, and Liu Yu, and threw it to Liu Hai from a distance: "It's so soft and sweet." Then he smiled. Keju said to the two little guys very kindly: "Since Dad is the most handsome, and you two treat Dad so much, why don't you go to Rongze Kindergarten with Dad after the Chinese New Year?"
The two little sycophants immediately fell silent, one jumped into the cat's arms and pretended to be dead, and the other turned around and got into Liu Kui's sweater to hide himself, causing everyone to burst into laughter again.
Little fatty Liu Xuan was standing in Liu Mao's arms obediently letting him feed and eat, but seeing Liu Lei propping up Liu Kui's sweater felt amused, turned around, dragged Liu Mao's sweater and got in too.
Yufang, who was sitting in front of the stove roasting sweet potatoes, was afraid that Liu Mao's sweater would be broken, so she tried to pull Liu Xuan out, but the little fat man hugged Liu Mao's waist tightly and refused to let go.
Liu Mao smiled lightly and said to Yufang: "It's okay, just play around." Then he patted the little fat man's buttocks: "If you are always in a panic, come out quickly, and you will become a fool if you lack oxygen for a long time."
Xiumei tossed a steamed bun to Liu Yu: "Chuan'er, it's Chinese New Year, don't scare me."
Liu Yun and Liu Lei did not attend kindergarten in Rongze.
The two little guys went to that individual kindergarten for a long time, and they sent a page to Liu Chuan, asking them to go there quickly. At that time, Liu Chuan was not in Rongze, so he called Mao'er and asked Su Xiaohui to check the situation.
Mao'er informed Su Xiaohui that she would go with her. When the two little guys started arguing, Su Xiaohui couldn't handle it alone, so Mao'er had to go along with her.
In fact, it was Mao'er who was thinking about Liu Yun and Liu Lei all day long, and he didn't approve of sending the two little bastards to that dilapidated and narrow yard in such a hot day at all.
Mao'er and Su Xiaohui walked to the gate of the hydrographic team and met Liu Kui.A large group of children came to Rongze. Liu Kui and Xiumei were worried, especially Liu Yun and Liu Lei. He predicted that the two little guys would not go to kindergarten honestly. He was afraid that Liu Chuan and Su Xiaohui would be young and energetic. Will use violent means to repair the two little guys, and come here to see the situation.
Hearing Su Xiaohui explain the matter clearly in a few words, Liu Kui became anxious, waved for a three-wheeled car, and went with the two of them, walked through the small alley with twists and turns, and took the two of them from the small room where the sundries were placed. A little guy whose voice was hoarse from crying was carried out, and then went all the way to the home of the hydrographic team. Liu Kui didn't say a word except to comfort the two little guys.
It turned out that the little guy who was so happy all day long and wanted to open his stomach when he saw a new gadget, now he is lying on Mao'er's shoulder and Liu Kui's arms, his eyes are dim, and he keeps talking. Sobbing, Liu Wei and Liu Xin didn't even look at the watermelon brought to them.
Liu Kui asked Su Xiaohui: "Does the child have to go to kindergarten?"
Su Xiaohui said a little helplessly: "It's not, it's just, it's just..., other people's children are now going to kindergarten for early intelligence training. They learn many words early, they also learn pinyin, arithmetic, and some of them also learn piano. Electronic organ, erhu, etc. Now people are trying to teach children art things to cultivate their quality, and I always want to teach children some things."
Liu Kui didn't quite understand: "Quality? Well, Xiao Ling, Xiao Hai, Yao'er, and Chuan'er have never been to kindergarten. Do you think they are... poorer than others?"
Although Liu Kui's sentence was a question, it made Su Xiaohui quite terrified. Being questioned by someone she was grateful and respected from the bottom of her heart, people usually feel like this, Su Xiaohui didn't know how to explain: "Brother, I didn't mean that , I, I just look at other people. I’m learning now, I’m afraid that if the two of them don’t know anything in the future, they will be inferior.”
Liu Kui didn't understand even more: "If you don't know anything, don't you just know how to play the piano? If you don't know how to play the piano, you will be inferior? There are many serious things in the world. Playing the piano is not a bad skill, but there are many things more important and useful than him. It's nothing more than that there are few people who can play the piano, so it looks more expensive.
I don't think that people look down on people who don't know how to play and play the piano. Chuan'er, Xiaoling, and Xiaoxia don't know all these fancy things. I think they are more rare than anyone else! "
Liu Wei, Liu Xin, and Mao'er nodded together: "That's right, my uncles don't lose their prices wherever they go."
Mao'er also added: "My uncle is the same, my uncle is no worse than the people in the city."
Su Xiaohui hesitated and said: "Actually, big brother, I don't know what to do, I don't know if I should send my child to Rongze to go to kindergarten, or leave home and follow my uncle, my mother, and you.
Seeing other people's children learn those things, I think they have to learn too, or they will not be as good as others in the future;
But looking at our brothers, Xiaowei, Maoer, and the others, I feel that even those who can play the piano and sing songs are not as good as our children. I am actually very happy to be able to be like one of them in Changli. "
Liu Kui said: "You don't need to be like others, just like Chuan'er will win, I think Chuan'er is the best kid.
Xiaohui, our family just doesn’t know how to teach playing the piano and singing. If it’s about writing and arithmetic, I think my uncle is better than anyone else. Your sister-in-law and I have discussed it. We still have land at home. They are getting old, and we can't lose our home because of business, and the land can't be deserted, so we will go home often in the future. As long as I leave the house, I will teach the two children.
If you can trust my uncle and elder brother, I will make the decision today. We Xiaoyun and Xiaolei will not go to kindergarten, so we will go home with me today.
The child is only this big, the world is big and the child is not allowed to play, tell the child to nest in the small courtyard of the suffocated dead man, and cannot even go out for a day, you think the child can be seen? "
Su Xiaohui looked at the prickly heat and listless appearance of the two sons who had just gone for a while, and then thought about the two naughty boys who were at home a few days ago, lively and happy all day long, nodded: "Brother Zhong , In the future, when the child goes to school, you can tell my uncle what to do, and I will take the child home in a while."
The two little guys were rescued by their uncle and brothers, and now they are living a happy life in the depths of Fengxi Mountain.
It's just that after the weather turned cooler, the two naughty boys started to pick up the brushes and practice calligraphy, for one to two hours a day.
Liu Changqing is much gentler and kinder to his grandson than to his son. The two naughty boys practice calligraphy, and they never force time. Just don't be careless.
The two little guys seem to prove to their mother that they are the best children even if they don’t go to kindergarten. Basically, they practice for about two hours a day, and they are very excited. .
Liu Kui and Xiumei are now at home almost ten days a month, and there is a local saying that "one episode will not be opened three times", which means that after a market or meeting in a place, the next three days do not need to be open for business, because it is open. The door is also out of business.
Liu Kui’s cloth sales are also affected by this law. At the beginning, when the market was completely empty, the demand was too high. This law was not obvious to them, but it will gradually become apparent after a long time.
Other merchants may not like this phenomenon very much, but this is exactly what Liu Kui and Xiumei wanted. They would die if they didn't go home for three days. They were thinking about their children, the elderly, and the crops in the field. This situation allows them to temporarily close their doors and go home without worrying about losing too much business.
Liu Kui has already followed Liu Chuan to Yu Baozhong's place to fetch goods twice more. The one in October was relatively small, and this time in December is similar to the first time. The supply of goods is sufficient and stable. The two of them feel that the business is doing very well now. , I have already touched the doorway of doing business.
Regarding the price that Liu Xia set up without telling them, the two of them didn't know how to express their happiness. My younger brother, it's not appropriate to say that he is grateful, but it is more appropriate to say that he is pleased and proud. Back when Yaoer pulled things back and asked them to set their own prices, it is estimated that the money they earned was not even one-fifth of what they are now, and they might still be able to pay for it.
Xiumei thinks this is the best day in the world, right?I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, I can make money safely, and as long as the weather is normal, I can go home every day. Although I am tired from running back and forth every day, how can I make money without being tired?In the past, they were exhausted and still couldn't eat enough!She and Liu Kui are making more money in a day now than Liu Mao made in a year before.
When Liu Kui and Xiumei were at home, Liu Kui was basically teaching the children to practice calligraphy.
Liu Changqing is still digging stones when he has free time. The low stone wall of his house has been completely surrounded, and the stone piles needed for the section up to the kiln slope will take him a lot of time.
And he felt that Liu Kui taught better than him, he was old, and couldn't learn Liu Kui's humor in front of the children, and the children practiced calligraphy with him, not as relaxed and happy as Liu Kui.
Seeing the panic-stricken appearance of the two sons, Yanagawa laughed triumphantly.
Su Xiaohui held up the sweater needle and wool to Nana, letting her watch how she got started, glanced at Liu Chuan, and said very calmly: "Do you think they are really afraid of your trick like that? Hey, they are teasing you Son!"
As soon as she said that, Liu Yun and Liu Lei made identical grimaces at Liu Chuan at the same time: "Father, if you dare to ask us to go to Rongze again, grandpa and uncle will give you eight petals in your ass."
Everyone smiled at Liu Chuan, and the two little guys laughed too.
Liu Xia turned around and tapped Liu Yun on the head: "A fox pretends to be a tiger."
Liu Yun blinked his eyes and said loudly, "It's majestic."
Liu Lei yelled, "Facing the wall and thinking about the past."
Nana answered over there: "I have a photographic memory."
Liu Xin answered: "Flee in the wind."
Liu Yun, Liu Lei, and Nana said at the same time, "Run away."
Liu Xin: "Um...yao...yao..."
Mao'er answered: "Bewitching words to confuse people."
The little ones rolled their eyes together: "All? All..."
Liu Xin turned around for a while and said, "I can't remember, does 'everyone gathers firewood and the fire burns high' count?"
Liu Kui looked at Liu Xia and Liu Ling uncertainly: "I think it should be counted?"
Mao'er said loudly and firmly: "Forget it, it's not just four words connected together that make an idiom, it's a multi-word idiom."
Liu Xia turned around slightly, put his hands behind his back, hugged Mao'er and Liu Yun together, swayed back and forth a few times back and forth to show his praise.
Mao'er leaned on Liu Xia's back happily and couldn't get up: "Uncle, carry it a few more times."
Liu Hai scratched his head and asked Liu Ling: "Brother, which dish is this for fun? I don't understand what's going on, why did it turn into a family idiom solitaire?"
Liu Ling laughed: "Isn't Mao'er always bad at writing essays, and every exam is called pulling points? My elder brother is afraid that our children will do the same in the future. When he comes back and is fine, he will read idioms to the children. I also play this kind of solitaire game with them, and the children can see it, and now our mother and fourth sister-in-law also read to the children when they have time, and the children have learned a lot of idioms."
Liu Hai suddenly realized, and then he looked at the little guys who were continuing to fight the dragon: "It's really interesting, I also joined the battle...wait for death? Dead... dead... closed moon shame!"
Mao'er turned to look at Liu Xia, who was thinking of idioms with everyone, and gently tugged on Liu Ling's sleeve.
Liu Ling glanced at Liu Xia calmly, then moved back as if nothing had happened, and half-lyed on the kang against the quilt.
Mao'er asked Liu Yun, who was full of combat power, to lie on Liu Xia's back and continue to confront idioms. He smiled and crawled to Liu Ling's side: "Uncle Wu, I heard that your army is the best in China, tell me about your army. What advanced weapons are there?"
When he got to Liu Ling's side, he saw Liu Xia was gently shaking Liu Yun on his back thinking of idioms. He didn't pay much attention to him, so he lay down in front of Liu Ling and whispered to him.
Liu Ling listened quietly, sometimes nodding slightly, sometimes shaking her head slightly to ask Mao'er a few words, the smile on her face was deep and shallow.
