Little wealth

It has been snowing for several days in a row. After the snow stopped, the day they went out was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

It just so happened that the sausages and bacon at home had already been dried, as well as the dried persimmons and lotus root candies made a while ago.In addition, there is a small basket of bean sprouts and two jars of wine. Although this wine is not as good as the chrysanthemum brew that Bai Luoxi sent last time, these two jars are rice wine brewed by themselves, and they sell better than the wine shops outside. The wine blended with water is better, whether it is used for drinking or soaking things, it is very good.

There are also two sets of small toys made by their master Zhao, which are New Year gifts for Nuomi.

When they were about to go out on this day, the sun was still shining a little in the east, so it seemed that it was a good time to go out today.

Just seeing their son insist on stuffing a puppy into the car, Josh laughed angrily, pointed at the kid and said, "If you don't put down the glutinous rice balls, I won't take you to find Xiao Nuomi." oh."

The glutinous rice balls are the puppies held by Ah Nian.

There are three puppies in the family, two white ones are named Tangyuan and the other is Baozi. Tangyuan is the second child and the oldest is Baozi. Baozi has been taken home by Chen butcher.As for the third child, that is, the yellow-haired puppy, he was named Mantou.

As for why the dogs are either glutinous rice balls or buns and steamed buns, I have to ask their sons. The names are all given by their sons, and the names of the puppies are determined in this way.

The food at home is so good, the puppies have grown fast since they could eat, and they are all chubby and chubby.Ah Nian couldn't hold the glutinous rice balls anymore, so she tried her best to lift up the dog she was holding, and handed it to Dad, "Daddy, give...to my younger brother."

"Do you mean that you want to hold the glutinous rice balls for Xiao Nuomi to play with, or do you want to give the glutinous rice balls to Xiao Nuomi?" Josh stepped forward to put the puppy hugged by their son on the ground, and took out a handkerchief to the little boy Wipe your hands.The child was inseparable from the family dog ​​all day long, and the dog hair was stuck to his clothes, so he had to ask someone to bring a clean padded jacket again.

Ah Nian looked at the puppy, he seemed a little hesitant.

Josh asked again: "Then what if brother Nuomi likes glutinous rice balls and wants to keep them? Are you going to give them away?"

"Here!" Ah Nian pushed the puppy, which meant that he was going to give it away.

"..." Hearing that their son said without hesitation to give away the glutinous rice balls, Josh could hardly laugh or cry.It's not that he is reluctant to part with such a puppy, but their dog is not a pure native dog, but half of the blood of a wolf. It has a bit of a wild temper, and it doesn't look exactly like a native dog.

And recently, after the little wolf cubs have teeth, they have been biting things at home. He is afraid that other people's children are too delicate, and if they are accidentally touched by this little wolf cub's teeth, then it will not be a joke. .

As for their own children, they have played with a few wolf cubs since they were young. He has seen two wolf cubs play with their children, but the puppies never bite with their mouths. The child, he dared to let the child play with the puppy a few times without worry.I'm just worried that the puppy will be taken outside suddenly. If I go to a strange place and meet strangers and get scared, anything may happen in the panic. They can't afford the consequences, and neither can others. as a result of.

He looked at the silly dog ​​around them and wagged his tail at them, not knowing that its little master was talking about giving it away.

Josh looked at Ah Huang who was squatting in the sun not far away, and asked the child standing in front of him, "You gave it away, did you ask Dabai and Ah Huang to agree?"

"Hmm~" This time it was Ah Nian's turn to hesitate, not knowing what to say.

"So think about it, if someone takes you away, or you see Daddy and Ah, will you be sad?" After taking the new clothes Caixia brought, Josh carried the child into the car Go up, pull out the cotton-padded jacket that was stained with dog fur, and put on a clean one, and don't let anyone come down.

Ah Nian was not obsessed with taking the puppy to play with his younger brother, "Then Daddy, hurry up and find my younger brother."

"Okay, okay, now you know it's faster to shout, right? Who was dawdling and refusing to go out just now?" Josh really gritted his teeth at their son's single-handedness, and wanted to beat this brat up. Bundle.

"Hurry up, come daddy."

"Wait for your big dad, he hasn't come out yet."

The son in the car was still urging, and their master Zhao was late.

Knowing that he was going out today, Master Zhao stayed at home specially, waiting to send them to the town together.

"You step on the stool." Zhao He put a low stool on the ground and asked Fu Lang to step on the stool.

Qiao Xu helped Master Zhao's hand, and felt that his treatment had improved a lot. Not only did Master Zhao stay at home and wait for them to go out, but he even came to help him when getting on and off the car.After getting into the car, he shouted to Eminem outside the car: "Eminem, we are going out, and we will be back later."

"Hey, okay, don't go too late, come back earlier." Zhao Amu replied.

"Understood." Josh sat in the car and told Master Zhao to leave.

"Mum, let's go out." Zhao He grabbed the donkey's rope and drove the donkey, and the donkey pulled them away.

Ah Huang followed the master's car with the two rounds and chased them out to the door, and the two little tuanzi came out after them and ran to the intersection.Seeing that the car had gone far away, the two Maotuanzi glanced back at the dog father and the door behind them, and ran back wagging their tails.

***

The trees on the side of the road have lost all their leaves, leaving a bare trunk.

Some snow fell on the ground. This winter is not particularly cold, and the snow is not too heavy. They can still go out for a while.

But compared to the family members who go out to the town every day, Qiao Xu spends most of his time at home with his children, and rarely goes to the town. If it wasn't for the fact that he hadn't seen Bai Luoxi and Xiao Nuomi for a long time, he would have to send some things to him They, he was too lazy to go out in such a cold day.

Master Zhao of their family replaced the original open-top wooden car with a closed-top car, with walls and roofs all around. Master Zhao was afraid that they would blow the wind when they went out.

And when their master Zhao made this car, he specially installed a compartment at the bottom, in which charcoal can be put in, separated by an iron plate in the middle, and a layer of wood on the top.In this way, the charcoal underneath was ignited, and the interior of the car was much warmer. There was a wooden board and an iron board separated, so there was no need to worry about burning their feet.

There is also a layer of blankets under the trunk, and it can still feel warm when you put your feet on it.

The wheels of the car have also been refitted, and all four wheels are equipped with shock absorbers. It is much better to sit on than before, and it does not feel so bumpy.

The donkey cart ran to the road, and Josh opened the curtain to look out. The field in winter was white, and there were no workers in the field, and the village behind was getting farther and farther away from them.Probably because it's cold now, and they went out late today, and they didn't meet anyone walking on the road.

Zhao He turned his head and glanced at the person who poked his head out, and said, "Go inside and sit down."

"May I sit with you for a while? Will you be bored outside alone?" The inside of the car is very warm, but Josh doesn't feel very cold inside, and he won't open the curtains and be blown by the wind, he will find out It's quite cold outside, especially when the car is moving, and the wind blows from the surface like a knife.

"No, I'm not bored, you go in quickly." Zhao He pushed the man and pushed him in. Josh had to hide in the car, but he still talked to Master Zhao from time to time through the curtain.

There was snow on the ground, and their donkey cart was not moving fast.

By the time they got to town, the sun was already high in the east.

After entering the town, their master Zhao drove them to the door of Fu's mansion in a donkey cart before letting them down, and also took off the donkey cart.

"Zhao Fulang and the young master are here. Our Zhengjun also said that we haven't seen you for a long time, please come in." The butler of Fu's house smiled and came out to greet him. Young master, the housekeeper knows that Mr. Zhao's husband has a very good relationship with their Zhengjun, and they often come to visit their house. They are very fond of their Zhengjun and the young master, so every time he sees someone, he at least shows up in front of him. I dare not express any negligence.

It’s almost Chinese New Year recently, and some wealthy households in Kyoto and other places, as well as here in Anyang, will send things to their houses, and the housekeeper will deal with many of these things every day. Much better delivery.

However, when he saw people bringing wine and meat, the butler didn't show any dislike on his face, he just asked the boy following him to pack up the things, "Zhao Fulang, you don't have to be so polite, you brought so many things here .”

"It's all made at home. There are some sausages and bacon. The meat is hung outside the house. You can eat it whenever you want. There are also two jars of wine and other things." Josh held a basket in his hand. He handed over the bean sprouts and covered them with a white cloth. He opened them and showed the butler, "This is bean sprouts, which we made at home. They can be used for frying, soup or boiling. The taste is still good."

"Hey, okay, okay, this thing is called bean sprouts, just fry it and eat it, right?" Seeing these wine and meat butlers, they only smiled copiously until they saw such a basket of fresh bean sprouts. There was a little more surprise and difference on the face, and even the attitude of welcoming guests suddenly became enthusiastic.

In fact, it’s no wonder the housekeeper’s attitude has become so enthusiastic. Since the weather has been cold, I can’t buy any fresh fruits and vegetables in this town. The vegetables eaten in the house are all hidden in the cellar, so you can eat them There are so many things, and the little master is a picky eater. Every day, they want to find something new to coax the little master to eat two more meals.

If it used to be in Kyoto, their master had a hot spring farm in his hand, and he could grow some vegetables on the farm, and there would be fresh vegetables to eat in the house throughout the winter.It's just that since I came to Anyang, the poor mountains and rivers here, I can't buy anything if I have money, let alone a bite of fresh vegetables in winter.

It's rare to see such a basket of juicy and juicy vegetables, wouldn't the housekeeper be pleasantly surprised?

"Come and pick us up later." Knowing that the man had to go back to the shop, Josh turned around and said to the man, just let him go back and do his work, and come back later to pick him up and the child.

Zhao He responded, leaving his husband and children in front of Fu's house, and drove away alone in the donkey cart.

Seeing their Master Zhao left, Josh turned around and said to the butler, "This bean sprouts can be fried with bacon. When frying, cut a few slices of bacon and fry them first. When the bacon is cooked, pour the bean sprouts in and fry them together , this thing is easy to cook, put it in the pot and it will be cooked as soon as it is fried, don't fry it for too long, it won't taste good after frying for a long time."

"Oh, that's how it is." The housekeeper nodded with a smile, and ordered the servants following him to talk to the kitchen, and then led the Zhao family's husband and young master inside to find their Zhengjun and young master. up.

Hearing that the servants came to report that Josh had come, Bai Luoxi was also a little surprised, and asked to invite them in quickly.

As soon as Xiao Nuomi heard that her younger brother was coming, she ran out with a happy smile on her face.

"younger brother!"

"younger brother……"

Soon there were voices of two children calling "brother" outside. You called me "brother", and I called you "brother", and the voices became louder, as if whoever had the loudest voice would win.

Seeing the two children yelling at each other, Josh couldn't laugh or cry, he handed the two boxes in his hand to Xiaonuomi, "Come on, Xiaonuomi, this is the New Year's gift from Uncle and Niannian." Gift."

"Thank you, Uncle." Xiao Nuomi showed a pleasant smile on his face, and reached out to hold a wooden box that was bigger than him.

"You're welcome, hold on tight... Niannian, you help my brother get one too, be careful where you step, and don't fall down." The other Josh handed it to his son to help his little brother hold it. He touched Xiao Nuomi's head with his hand, fearing that the two children would fall down without looking at the road under their feet, so he walked slowly behind the two children.
