But he couldn't ask or say these words.
Li Zhensheng took a deep breath and solemnly promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, you have paved the road and leave the rest to me. It just so happens that I have been doing business in Xindu for more than ten years. Even if I follow the caravan south, no one will doubt me." , I just thought I was back to my old job..."
Mr. Hou nodded, "Okay, brother, take good care of your health and recover as soon as possible. The journey is long, and you have to make all the preparations you need to make. When I have made arrangements here, I will discuss it with you. ."
Li Zhensheng stood up and said goodbye. After thinking about it, he said, "Don't tell my mother yet. I'm afraid she won't be able to leave me. After all, I have to leave again not long after I came back."
"Okay, brother, don't worry." Mr. Hou agreed. .
Li Zhensheng went out with a complicated heart. Jiayin, Cat Brother and several naughty children ran back from the construction site. The snack boxes in their hands were empty, and they all ate like little tabby cats.
The cat brother was like a little wild horse, running up to him and shouting, "Dad, I want this box to contain my baby."
"Whose box is this?" Li Zhensheng wiped the sweat beads on his son's head and said Picked up the smiling little niece.
Jiayin replied crisply: "It's the leftover box of snacks that Uncle Dashan gave us."
"Well, if Brother Cat likes it, just keep it. If Fu Niu likes it, uncle will come to town to pick out a new one for you the next day. Nice one?"
"Uncle, I don't want it. I have a treasure chest, which is bigger than my brother's." Jiayin hugged the uncle's neck and raised her chin at Brother Cat proudly.
Brother Cat was so angry that he yelled, "I'm going to find grandma. I also want a big box."
Mrs. Li was busy digging out the hole for the kang. This summer, several big kangs in the house had to be lit from time to time. Warm, so as not to get too cold while sleeping.
Although a handful of firewood is enough each time, if it accumulates for a long time, there will be a lot of firewood ash.
Clean it thoroughly before winter so that it can be easily burned after winter.
Her head was wrapped in a coarse cloth towel, she held a dustpan in her hand, and there was a streak of black under her nose.
At first glance, they look like Japanese Japanese who stole landmines.
Seeing her children and grandchildren coming back noisily, she smiled and showed her white teeth, "I heard you bickering all the way away. Are you hungry? I'll cook after I finish my work!"
Li Zhensheng and the children were stunned. For a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
Jiayin even laughed so hard that Mrs. Li was confused.
She didn't know what was going on, so she raised her hand and wiped her face twice more. As a result, she was even more embarrassed.
Li Zhensheng put down his niece, took the dustpan from his mother's hand, and urged with a smile, "Mom, go take a bath quickly, I will do all the chores."
Mrs. Li did not refuse, she pulled off her scarf and patted her body. Went to the penthouse.
After such a commotion, the reluctance and complexity in Li Zhensheng's heart were completely gone.
For the sake of laughter in this family and for the mother who gave birth to him, he must seize this perfect opportunity no matter what!
It's easier to work when there are more people, and it's easier to eat when there are fewer people.
With the efforts of the whole village, the school was built in almost a few days. On a good day, all the men, women and children in the village came to join in the fun.
The village chief was also so happy that he handed out more than ten kilograms of snacks and scattered half a dustpan of copper coins.
At this time of year, every family is busy, but children always have free time.
Children from three villages including Dahuaishu, Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang heard the commotion and came running to play. Naturally, they also got snacks and grabbed a few pennies.
When I went back in the evening, I was discovered by my family, so I had to ask a few questions.
As a result, a school was built in the new village, and the news that all the children in the village were sent to study, write, and calculate was spread by everyone.
Some people are envious, and some say that Xincun has too much money and is in panic, but more people are tempted and want to send their children and grandchildren there to get some exposure and learn some skills.
But it's not easy to say this. The discussion comes and goes, and it drags on.
Everyone here at Broken Gold Beach doesn't know this.
They were busy installing doors and windows in the school, building Kangs, and making tables, chairs, and benches. These chores were no easier than building a house.
In the midst of such busyness, the first snow of winter finally fell.
The dots of small snowflakes melted almost before they fell to the ground, almost like rain.
This reminds young and old of Qingshui Village.
There are four distinct seasons there, with strong winds in spring, thunderstorms in summer, dry autumn and heavy snow in winter.
Although I am now settled in Suijintan, with enough food and clothing, and everything is going well, I still miss my hometown where I grew up at a time like this.
The Li family comes from outside the Great Wall, where it snows most of the year.
I even look down upon Xiaoxue like this.
Mrs. Li sat on the kang, sewing cotton-padded clothes with Dongmei. She opened the window and took a look, "Although it's really ugly under the snow, the customs can't be lost. Let's make noodles and chop stuffing later. At noon Let's make dumplings and eat them."
Dongmei also knew that there is a custom of eating dumplings in the early snow in the North, so she nodded with a smile, "Okay, I will go to Xiaowangzhuang to buy pork and some stick bones on the way, and make some bone soup for the lady to drink at night. . Yesterday, Miss and Brother Cat lost a head-to-head contest. She was so angry that she could hang a soy sauce bottle on her mouth. I'm afraid she is just looking forward to growing taller."
Mrs. Li laughed when she heard this, "Children are all like this, don't Pamper her, this girl is the best at climbing along the pole, I'm afraid she will have a bad temper in the future."
Just as they were talking, a carriage stopped outside the gate, and the two of them hurried out to greet them. Before they saw the person coming, they cheered happily after hearing the good news. He shouted, "Uncle Steward!"
It turned out that the great steward himself led the carriage to deliver the things. He picked up the good news and smiled like a flower.
When he saw the old lady, he quickly saluted, "Old madam, I heard that there is a custom of eating dumplings in the snow in the North. No, there happened to be fresh pork at home, so I sent some over."
As he spoke, he followed The two stewards who came over carried the things down.
Not to mention the rice, flour, grains and oils, but only the pork came with two meatballs, four large strips of pork belly, and four pig's trotters.
This is too much, not even a little!
The butler was afraid that the old lady wouldn't accept it, so he smiled and said: "In the morning, the Marquis returned to the Hou Mansion. I took a closer look, and I felt so happy! Speaking of which, it is really great that the Marquis is recovering here. By the way, not only has Mr. Hou gained weight, but his complexion has also improved."
Hearing this, the old lady quickly responded: "As a family, we should take more care of Mr. Hou at times like this. I just don't know that Mr. Hou When will you be back? Can you make it in time to eat dumplings at noon?"
"The Marquis is about to enter the palace, and I'm afraid the Emperor will stay with us for dinner."
"Then let's make dumplings first and wait for the Marquis. If he doesn't come back, we'll give them to him. It's easy to cook now if you leave a curtain."
As they talked, everyone carried everything in.
The old lady asked Uncle Zhao and the others to help and divide the pork. Each family gave a piece, which was about seven or eight taels. Although it was not much, it was enough to make dumplings.
Not to mention the excitement of making dumplings at home, but in the palace, the Marquis accompanied the emperor out of the imperial study, stood under the eaves of the corridor, looked at the light snow falling from the sky, and exhaled a long breath.
