Xiao Xiao sat on the small round stool in his room, staring at Han Ping writing with a brush on the oiled mahogany round table.Xiao Xiao stretched his neck and looked at it for a long time, and finally found sadly that he really didn't know a single word.So I quietly lay back on the table and waited for Han Ping to finish writing.

After Han Ping wrote, he blew on the ink on the rice paper to let it dry quickly.

"What are you writing?" After watching Han Ping write, Xiao Xiao dared to raise his head to talk to him.Han Ping smiled and rubbed Xiao Xiao's head, "It's nothing, just write a letter to my grandfather."

"Grandpa?" Xiao Xiao asked suspiciously, because Han Ping had never heard of this person before.

Han Ping nodded, folded the dried paper and put it aside.

"We are about to get married. It is reasonable to let grandpa know about it." Han Ping patiently explained to Xiao Xiao, "And after I left the Han family, grandpa helped me a lot."

Xiao Xiao stared at Han Ping with wide eyes, waiting for him to continue, but Han Ping just smiled and did not continue the topic.

The marriage between Xiao Xiao and Han Ping is scheduled for one month later.Although the date was fixed, there was no movement from the entire mansion.Even though Xiao Xiao often stayed in the yard and didn't go out, he still felt that something was wrong.But after asking Han Ping and getting an answer that would make him feel at ease, Xiao Xiao didn't ask any more questions.After all, he still can't believe that he is going to get married.

It was not until three days before the wedding day that Xiao Xiao and Han Ping were summoned to the main hall.

When Han Ping returned home, he only carried a bag, and there was nothing valuable in it except some bedding and cooking utensils in the field.That's why everyone in the Han family looked down on him.So after Xiao Xiao woke up, he was always wearing Han Ping's old clothes.Even when I went to meet people today, I just changed into a relatively clean and tidy old clothes.

Xiao Xiao looked up, looked at Han Ping, who was also wearing old clothes, and settled down, and then took Han Ping's hand actively.

Han Ping's courtyard is located at the back of the entire Han Mansion, so it took a lot of time to walk to the main hall in front. The two of them didn't talk on the way, they just held hands tightly.

Xiao Xiao has never been to the main entrance of the Han Mansion, neither has Yuan.After being sold into the Han Mansion, he has been doing dirty and tiring work, and has no access to the front yard at all.

Passing through the corridor at this time, Xiao Xiao discovered that there was a yard about eight feet in size in front of the front hall, surrounded by stone railings, and a white stone lotus was placed on the stone railings every five steps wide.The middle of the yard is paved with blue bricks, extending to the front hall.

At this time, the door of the front hall was open, and there were more than a dozen people crowded inside.Among them, the master and wife of the Han family were sitting in the main seat, and Xiao Xiao had seen them all.But the lady sitting next to her has gray hair, a gold bead hairpin on her head, a pearl brocade gilded forehead on her forehead, a small dark green embroidered thin jacket, a long red emerald beaded string, and a gilt agate ring on her hand. turn in hand

Xiao Xiao didn't recognize an old woman wearing a dark black walnut prayer beads.But it is not difficult to guess that this old woman should be Han Ping's grandmother.He was also the murderer who threw the original owner out of the mansion after being beaten to death.At this time, the old woman closed her eyes slightly, twirling the Buddha beads with one hand, and muttering something, while raising the other hand to let the maid standing beside her bow to support her.

On the other side, there were three boys and girls of different ages.The man at the front leaned back on the chair, and he insisted on fanning himself vigorously even though he wasn't hot.The body shape of that person is exactly the same as that of the master of the Han family, except that one is a large size.

One is medium.On the chair below the medium-sized man sat a slightly younger man sitting upright.The man straightened his back with all his strength, but his body still couldn't help shaking, and the eyes on his face kept turning around because of fear.At the bottom sat a woman in a pink vest.The woman looked young, but with raised eyebrows, she knew that she was not a good stubble.Coupled with the face that resembled the woman seated eight times, Xiao Xiao just couldn't figure it out.

Come, it is also difficult.

Han Ping, who had already entered the main hall, greeted the people inside directly this time: "Father, aunt, grandmother." Then he turned to look at the three people sitting beside him: "Eldest brother, second brother, and younger sister. "Among the three, except for the short man sitting in the middle who almost jumped up in shock, the remaining two didn't even raise their eyes.

Han Ping didn't care either.

After Han Ping said hello, the man in the upper seat coughed lightly, looked at Han Ping and said, "This time I called you here just to talk about gift money." After speaking, the man glanced at the old lady sitting beside him.At this moment, the old lady was still turning the prayer beads in her hand, without raising her eyes.So the man had no choice but to continue: "You know, the business in the mansion is not good now. In addition, none of your three siblings have married yet. I can't bring anything rich here. The new house is not good. Start another one, just use your current yard. It’s empty anyway.”

When the man said this, seeing that Han Ping hadn't said a word, he raised his confidence and continued, "You have been away for ten years, and your elder brother is already in charge of the Han family's business. I have made some calculations with your aunt. , there is another shop in the western suburbs..."

Before the man finished speaking, Han Ping interrupted, "You don't need to give me the shop in the western suburbs. I won't stay in Pingnan City after I get married. Just give me the ten acres of land at the foot of the West Mountain in Qushui County. "

Hearing Han Ping's request, the man and woman in the seat looked at each other at the same time, obviously not expecting that Han Ping would make such a request.The Han family now has six or seven shops in Pingnan City.Three of them were bought by Mr. Han, and the remaining three were part of the dowry brought by Han Pingniang.When the woman discussed with the man, she felt that Han Ping must have decided to buy these shops.Women don't want to

Give Han Ping any shop, but the man is even more afraid that Han Ping will put his face directly on the wedding day and ask for it.Making a fool of himself in public was more unbearable than killing a man.So the two discussed using the remote and small shop in the western suburbs to send Han Ping away.

The shop in the western suburbs was not originally owned by the Han family, but was given to Mr. Han by a businessman who owed money to the Han family.No

However, the location of the shop is remote and far away, so the Han family has been renting it out and collecting some rent to maintain it.

And Qushui County is a county seat under Pingnan City.After passing Qushui County, there are several large villages below.The village of the original owner Xiao Xiao's family is also under Qushui County, but the location is far away.And the ten mu of land in Han Mansion is located at the foot of Xiaxi Mountain in Qushui County.

Because this land is next to the West Mountain, the land is not fertile.It's just a single ten-acre field, and there are no villages around. Even if the Han family finds someone to rent out this ten-acre land, the cost of going back and forth is not enough to pay for the food it grows.Therefore, the Han family simply left the land lying there.

The Han family is different from other families in Pingnan City.The Han Mansion is the home of Mr. Han's generation.At the beginning, Mr. Han was excluded by the whole village because he married a wife from another village, so he had no choice but to come out to make a living.As a result, unexpectedly, he made a big deal.a few years

Afterwards, Mr. Han, who had gone out for a living, returned to the village in style. At the same time, he took his family with him, and came to Pingnan City to settle down.At this time, Han Shi, Han Ping's father, was already seven or eight years old.Before coming to Pingnan City, he lived a life of being bullied, beaten, scolded and squeezed out, so he was weak-tempered and had no idea.After arriving in Pingnan City, I realized that this place is completely different from the countryside

Yes, Han Shi's inferiority complex instantly swelled up.Suddenly living a good life from a poor life made Han Shi feel a little smug.After getting in touch with children from other families in Pingnan City, Han Shi was proud on the one hand, and felt inferior on the other hand.He was determined not to let anyone know that he was once a mudleg digging out of the ground.So I started to imitate other people's cats and dogs and put on a show.I'm afraid that others will say that he doesn't look like a person in the city.And Mr. Han thought he didn't care enough about his son, and after knowing how the mother and son had been bullied in the village in the past few years, he indulged Han Shi's temper.

Therefore, Han Shi didn't want to take care of the fields in the countryside at all, and even wished to stay far away.I am afraid that others will know that I once walked out of there.Not to mention ten acres of unmanaged land.

Han Shi turned his head and glanced at the woman sitting next to him, and felt that a shop for ten mu of land was a very worthwhile deal.

The woman was not as optimistic as the man thought. She rolled her eyes, thinking that Han Ping said this for no reason, maybe there was something good there.After all, the woman knew that the ten acres of land was also included in Han Ping's mother's dowry.

"You don't want a good shop, young master, what do you want that place for?" the woman asked with her eyes rolling.

"After I marry Brother Xiao, I will leave Pingnan City and live in the countryside." After Han Ping finished speaking, Han Shi's eyes lit up.Han Shi didn't like this son since Han Ping was born. He kept a straight face and kept staring at himself since he was a child.Like an unfamiliar wolf cub.Now that Han Ping voluntarily left the mansion to live in the countryside, Han Shi couldn't wait more.

Women are not so easy to deal with, "That place is a wilderness with no villages in front of you and no shops in the back. Can you two live in the past?" The woman said things that seemed to care about people on the surface, but she was full of sarcasm in secret.

Han Ping raised his eyes and glanced at the woman, "It's okay if I don't go there. Give me the three shops belonging to my mother in Pingnan City as a bride price. I won't go."

Han Ping's voice fell, let alone Han Shi, even the old lady sitting beside her was in a hurry.The old lady who had been sitting there with her eyes closed and praying to Buddha from the beginning opened her eyes and slapped the beads on the table.

"Ten acres of land! Which shop in Han's house can't be worth ten acres of land! Do you, a vicious woman, want all the shops in my Han's house to disperse before you are happy? Ah!" The old lady frightened Xiao Xiao when she opened her mouth. one jump.He didn't expect that this old lady with a scrutinized face disregarded Han Ping's situation when she opened her mouth, and only defended her own interests.

Xiao Xiao looked up at the expressionless Han Ping, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him again.

The woman obviously didn't expect to be scolded by her mother-in-law, and she didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Mother, brother, if you want to go to the countryside, you can let him go. But it's ten acres of land, and our Han family can't afford it." The medium-sized man who had been lying on the chair said, "Brother said so, it must be It's because of my younger brother's consideration, and I don't want to snatch something that belongs to my younger brother." After speaking, the man thought he had guessed right and laughed.

"Feng'er is right. It's rare for you to look like a big brother." Seeing his son speak, Han Shi hurriedly said, and then asked the woman sitting beside him to get up and go to get the title deed.I was afraid that Han Ping would regret it if it was too late.

The woman thought about it, and felt that Han Ping took the initiative to ask for ten acres of land, gave up the shop, and left Pingnan City. No matter what, it was on her side.So without any further hesitation, he got up and went to the house to take back the title deed and gave it to Han Ping.

"But it's agreed, the ten mu of land is your gift money, don't even think about asking the mansion for it." The woman couldn't help but said when she handed over the land deed.

"Naturally." Han Ping took the title deed of ten acres of land, put it back in his arms, turned around and pulled Xiao Xiao away.
