If you take the shortest distance, you will be in the countryside in about three days. But there is always a rest on the road. In order to find a place to stay, everyone took a long detour. One night, the inn of Qiwen made do with it. On the second day, I found a familiar hometown, and on the third day, it was in a temple. On the fourth day, I finally arrived at the town near my hometown.

    When they got to the town, the team disbanded, and Qingchuan and the fellow went back to the countryside together.

    The fellow had no livestock to travel, and he was very tired after walking for a few days. Qingchuan did not resent his initial jealousy. On this four-day journey, it was not just one fellow who walked, so Qingchuan didn't borrow his donkey, but if he borrowed one, he had to borrow another. What's the point of buying a donkey in Qingchuan in this way? So he didn't lend the donkey until the end of the town's way to the country.

    But the fellow was reluctant to accept this love. He felt that Qingchuan was a little hypocritical. So even if his legs trembled from exhaustion, he still refused, with a lot of guts.

    Okay. Qingchuan didn't care, he rode the little donkey along the road he remembered all the way to the old house.

      Siheyuan has more than ten rooms. That is to say, he has been down and out these years, otherwise many people nearby rent the land in his house, and they have to call him young master.

    Qing Chuan laughed in his heart when he thought of this, the young master is really strange, he feels uncomfortable.

    The first person who discovered Qingchuan was his little nephew, a six-year-old boy, with a group of dolls of the same size beside him, Qingchuan reached out and touched a handful of peanut candy, but the little guy was stingy Very, I broke a large piece into several small pieces, and put the rest in my pocket.

    "Daddy--Uncle is back--" the little nephew extended his voice and shouted there.

    Qing Chuan led the donkey to the inside, and the sister-in-law came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face. Since the separation of the family, no one eats another's food, and the relationship between the several families has improved. Plus, I only saw each other once in the first half of the year, and the smell is far and near. Qingchuan, who is disgusting, can also get a good face from my sister-in-law.

    "Are you back? I've made the bed, it's your original room."

    "Hey, thank you sister-in-law, can I trouble you to pull my donkey over to feed me some grass? I'll go see my mother."

     

    Qingchuan took the things to the main house. Although they were separated, their old mother did not move the house and still lived in the main house, while his eldest brother lived in the left wing.

    This old mother is actually only in her forties, a little more than forty. But because of widowhood and labor, she looks like an old woman in her fifties or sixties. She knows some embroidery skills, and works in dim light all year round. Her eyes are a little dim, but she is still in good spirits.

    When Qingchuan came in, she was sitting on the bed, holding the soles of her shoes in her hands, and there was a charcoal basin beside her feet. This bed is a canopy bed, sealed on all sides, the wood is engraved with the pattern of a hundred sons and a thousand grandchildren, and there is a bedside table beside the bed. The best wood and the best carver show the strength of the family.

    "Auntie." Qing Chuan shouted, and there was no obstacle. If he had parents who could not be separated in reality, then maybe he would cry hard, but he didn't. When he was six years old, he had no parents and no mother, so he could call a stranger A-Niang very smoothly.

    "It's the little fish, the little fish is back." The old lady couldn't be more happy, except for the eldest son, the youngest son was what she hurt the most. She reached out and took out a black lacquered snack box from the drawer on the side of the cabinet, and opened it, which contained neatly arranged persimmons, sugar peanuts (a kind of fried pasta), pumpkin seeds, and peach crisps. Now that the family has been down and out, this package of dim sum is a rare thing.

    The original owner's name is Jiang Qingyu, and his nickname is Xiaoyu.

    The old lady touched Qingchuan's wrist, she was obviously fat, but she had to say she was thin, she listened to Qingchuan slowly talk about what happened these days, the craftsmanship has improved, things have been sold, The career is on the right track, and I have contact with my cousin's family again, and I also bought a small donkey.

    She was very relieved to hear it, and added, "It's your uncle's fault, but now you are living in the provincial capital, and you are not familiar with the place, so your cousin's family can rely on I rely on. Your cousin, cousin and aunt are not evil people, but they just love your daughter. My niece is so spoiled, how can she decide the marriage? Such a woman who is not comfortable in the house may not be suitable for you. My son is now I live in the provincial capital and have a successful career. After a while, my mother will tell you a good one."

    In her memory, the old lady seldom talked about her parents' family, and this cousin was the only exception. The old lady's family is a small landlord in another village. Now it is developing very well and has been upgraded to a medium landlord. Therefore, she despises the defeated Jiang's family. The original owner has been there several times in memory, and every time he is regarded as a poor man fighting the autumn wind. Relatives are generally sent, and even a few cousins ​​are arrogant.

      When I smile, my face changes color. I see those women now, there are two faces in the front and back, I am really scared and don't want to talk about it."

    The old lady held her hand, frowned, and finally sighed, "Then, let's talk about it."

    Qing Chuan took the package and took out the things that were given to her, but nothing else, the gilt silver bracelet was more expensive. The old lady used to have a set of gilt jewelry in her dowry, but now she has it all, leaving only a plain silver hairpin on her head, and nothing else.

    "I only made some money, how can I spend it like this? The craftsmen are good and bad for a while, you should save more money for backup."

    "My son used to be ignorant and embarrassed my mother, but now that I have grown up, I realize that the world is difficult. Now I can make money too. The money is also willing to spend, and I saved a lot in half a year. This is the son's filial piety, so you can accept it. "

     Qingchuan persuaded for a while before the old lady accepted it. She wiped her hands carefully with the handkerchief and put on a gilt bracelet. The bracelet is made of silver as a whole, with the golden phoenix wearing peony pattern, which is exquisite and extravagant. The old lady's eyes are not very good, but when she looks bright, she knows it is a good thing, and she can't stop rubbing the pattern on her head with her fingers. .

    Out of the old lady's room, Qing Chuan gave the sister-in-law two small boxes for her nephew and niece. Sister-in-law didn't expect that this uncle, who has always been a little ignorant, could still remember preparing things for his nephews and nieces. He was a little stunned for a while. Later, when he opened it, there was a fat doll in clay and a moist safety lock. Sapphire pendant.

    The sister-in-law greeted the two children and put them on immediately.

    The two children knew that it was a good thing, and it was too beautiful, so they pestered Qingchuan to beat the rainbow fart. Qingchuan likes children. Being coaxed like this, he can't see his eyes from laughing. He grabs all kinds of snacks in his hand one by one, stuffing the two children's pockets and purses. .

    The elder sister-in-law couldn't help but talk to the elder brother, "My brother-in-law wanted to come here and set it up in the provincial capital. He has grown taller and whiter in half a year, and he still has money to order a gilt silver bracelet for his mother. In the end, it was made by the master in the provincial capital. The work is really meticulous and beautiful. Our county town is not so good-looking. Alas, it seems that the divorce was very exciting at the beginning. How good-looking, fat and white, I like it when I look at it with big eyes and a small mouth. I think it’s enlightening. Also, my uncle will be fifteen this year, and next year’s sixteenth will be an adult who can be in charge of the family.

    The eldest brother also feels that the younger brother is sensible, and I am very happy. The father went early, and the eldest brother consciously assumed the responsibility of his father. But because of the sudden downfall of the family, and the fact that he was just married at the time, seventeen years old, with three younger brothers and an old mother to support, he was also under a lot of pressure. Now, except for the youngest, all the younger brothers have become a family, and they have also been separated. Seeing that the situation is not bad, the eldest brother feels that he is worthy of his father's dying entrustment.

    In the evening, Qingchuan went to his second brother's house and gave the things for his younger nephew to his second sister-in-law. This little nephew is still a baby girl, and it's only been a little over a week. It's only the second brother and his wife who have been careful for three years, so he also likes the safe lock with a good meaning and wears it directly.

    The second brother is a carpenter and is rather reticent, so the second sister-in-law has the final say in the family. Qingchuan showed his second brother a bamboo hand-cranked fan. The principle of this thing is simple. It only needs a few parts to use iron. If his second brother can imitate it, he will make a fortune next summer, and then he will send another to the county. In the yamen, maybe you can get an honor.

    The second brother took the things apart and said that he could imitate them, and the second sister-in-law's eyes lit up at once, and he didn't even care about the baby's cry. Staying guests, "Let's eat small fish at your second brother's house at night. There are two big fish in the tank. Don't you like fish the most?"

    "No, no." Qing Chuan waved his hands again and again, teased his little nephew and left.

    Life in the country goes by quickly, especially for people who have been away for a long time and suddenly return home. Qingchuan was taken out to meet many relatives. Fortunately, there was no habit of kowtowing when seeing an elder. The custom here is to only kowtow to your immediate elders, uncles, uncles, and the like, just bow.

    The old lady felt that her youngest son was very promising, so she wore a gilded bracelet wherever she went, and when others asked, she bragged about her son, saying that he had a house in the provincial capital and that he had a good job.

    Qingchuan came back half a year ago and let the villagers laugh for half a year. The old lady is angry, and she can't talk about it when she takes the opportunity?

    Qingchuan felt that he had suddenly changed from the last repeater to the top student who could go straight to the university. This feeling is really new, so he was very cooperative with the old lady's performance.

    On New Year's Eve, Qingchuan spent money to buy pig heads and glutinous rice in the county, and came back to spend a reunion year at his eldest brother's house. The brothers who have separated from their families should, in theory, celebrate the New Year at their own house. That is to say, Qingchuan is still a child, and his mother is still alive, so he should spend the New Year at his brother's house.

    As the saying goes, but the Lantern Festival is not a new year, Qingchuan should have been away after the Lantern Festival, but he remembered the temple fair in the provincial capital, so he set off for the provincial capital on the second day of the new year.

    The old lady made him two pairs of thick blue shoes with a thousand-layer bottom, and a summer coat, which was specially made to be long. According to the growth rate of Qingchuan, it should fit in the summer. . The elder brother and sister-in-law also gave a jar of old rice wine made from glutinous rice.

    Qing Chuan was still riding his little donkey with a package. There are foot merchants in the county going to the provincial capital. They bring carts and horses, and they are full of goods. Qingzhuang has knives and guns in his hands. He looks very safe, and Qingchuan is with them all the way. At the beginning, they didn't know each other very well, and they didn't talk much. Qingchuan took his small jar and burned the brown sugar **** tea several times to ward off the cold.

    When Qingchuan came, he was careful and walked on the big road. In order to shorten the time, the foot merchants walked on the small road. It was inevitable that they would encounter a few robbers with excellent professionalism and unwilling to take a vacation. A few men in the team pulled out their knives, and they went up to the real knives. Qingchuan's crispy skins were very self-aware. They shrank under the car early, and they still had a bow that they just spent points on. crossbow.

    Seeing the masters who are no different from everyone else jumping four or five meters into the air, at this time, he suddenly felt that he was in the world of martial arts.

    Two corpses were left behind by the robbery, which were randomly thrown on the side of the road. Qingchuan looked at everyone's skilled appearance and indifferent expression, and his body couldn't help shaking, excited and curious . I don't know how to find a martial arts cheat book, and I don't know if he can practice martial arts at his age, but he is so itchy that he panics.

    Qingchuan continued to cook **** tea for everyone, while praising everyone's martial arts skills and making people feel safer.

    The leader told him that they were going to do business in the northwest. They brought salt and tea, and went there to exchange for fur and jade. The folk customs in the northwest are sturdy, and everyone has a good kung fu. The robbers are not at the same level as here. Don't look at the crowd of thirty or forty people now, I don't know how many will come back. There is no real kung fu in it, who dares to go out and make this terrible business.

    He asked Qingchuan if he had anything he wanted to bring along, as long as there were still people in their team, they would bring him back.

    Qing Chuan thought about it and said that he had nothing to do, but he had a clear path to show them.

      , you can spin and weave clothes, which is warmer than cotton, and can be sold to nobles for a little price difference.

    In addition, there is a kind of colorful stone on the Gobi Desert in the northwest, which has been polished by wind and sand. The herdsmen do not know the goods and play with it as a stone. This is originally Gobi agate, which is more transparent than the agate in the Central Plains. Run, good for jewelry.

    Although I don't know if it's true or not, as long as there is one real product, their caravan will be able to produce one more fist product, so the leader is very happy when he hears it, he patted Qingchuan on the shoulder and said he wants to recognize this brother , After arriving in the provincial capital, he specially sent him home before leaving. People specially gave it a ride, how could it be called back empty-handed, Qingchuan took a wooden box and put five or six blessing dolls in different shapes as a gift to the leader, and asked him to take it home for the children to play with.

    The clay figurine turned out to be worthless, but what was rare was this kind of intention, and the leader was also bold and gave Qingchuan a can of sea salt directly. This little jar is worthless here, and it is worth more than gold in the northwest.

    Qing Chuan let out a sigh of relief.

    What is the world of martial arts? It really is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Looking at an ordinary hawker who picks goods, the knife is like unlocking the seal, scaring my father to death.
