The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Yan Yu ran back to the village in a gust of wind.

First, I told Village Chief Luo about the boat stopping by the river and waiting for unloading.

Hearing that it was called by Mr. Xiucai, Village Chief Luo happily directed his sons and grandchildren to go to each house to call for help.

Yan Yu rushed into her yard.

Listen through the door.

Yan Laoer hummed a pleasant little tune, submerged himself in the water, and planned to soak it well before rubbing it, so as to lay down the ashes.

Next to him is the furnace cylinder, on which hot water is sitting, within reach, and if the water temperature is not enough, you can add it yourself.

Yan Laoer sighed contentedly, it's better at home!

Everywhere is convenient and comfortable.

"Father! How long will it take you? Uncle is back!"

Yan Yu heard the leisurely sound of splashing water inside, which suddenly turned into thumping...

"What? You said your uncle is back? Where is he?"

"By the river, there are two large boats borrowed from Gufeng, which are parked directly at the small ferry. The uncle said that he still has to go to Gufeng to return the boat. He asked me to go back to the village and ask someone to unload the grain on the boat. Let us go first. In the village, I saw that the draft of the boat is very deep, so it has to be pulled several times.”

Yan Laoer's voice was full of joy: "Big Brother is Big Brother, haha, two ships of food are enough for us to support for a long time, and the Xizhou Army can also send some, so as to save them from getting old and staying for several days. Take the trouble to entertain... eh? You are talking about two big ships, how big are they?"

"Boss, boss." Yan Yu blinked and said nonsense.

Isn't it so, how does this make her describe, she also wants to say some technical terms such as displacement, but unfortunately she doesn't know it!

Second Yan: ...

The door opened.

Yan's second son with a cloth towel wrapped around his head appeared in front of Yan Yu covered in moisture.

It was a little cold outside, Yan Lao Er shook twice, ran back to the house quickly, pulled the sheepskin coat from the kang, put it on his body, and ran outside.

Li Xuemei's reaction was a bit slow now, she didn't call him, so she had to call Yan Yu.

"What are you doing? You're in such a rush, your hair is still wet, what will you do if you run out like this and get caught in the wind?!"

Yan Yu echoed: "That's right, I'm really ignorant, I'm so old and my father is still worrying, mother, I'll catch up and put a hat on my father, and mother, uncle is back, hahaha!"

Li Xuemei saw her daughter running out with a warm cotton hat from the kang, and the next moment she knocked on the door hurriedly.

"Big sister, big sister, uncle is back. He came back by boat, and he has already reached the river. I will chase my father and give him a hat. You should get dressed quickly and wear more. It is cold at night. I will come back later to pick him up." you."

Da Ya happily said: "Xiao Er, I'm listening, you go quickly, I'll be fine soon."

Yan Laoer drove away.

People try their best to lie on Sanbao's back. This posture is not exclusive to Yan Yu, and Yan's second child is not stupid, knowing that it is so warm.

Although Sanbao was fast, it was still inferior to donkeys, not to mention that it did not let go of its speed.

Yan Yu quickly caught up, kept the donkey and Sanbao at a constant speed, and handed the cotton cap to her father steadily.

"Father, put it on quickly, there are important things to do tomorrow, so don't catch a cold."

Yan Laoer quickly put on the hat, tied the ropes on both sides, covered his head and neck, and showed his face. After putting on the hat, he continued to lower his body: "Don't worry, Sanbao is steaming, it's warm. very."

Yan Yu felt relieved and turned back to pick up the eldest sister.

...

"Brother! Big brother!"

Yan Huaiwen looked intently, and saw a bullock cart approaching quickly.

If you haven't seen him, listen to his voice first.

This shouting voice is the same as Xiaoer's.

It's his family's God Bless, that's right.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, a man stood up on the back of the ox, grinning brightly at him.

Get off the back of the bull and run over quickly.

"Brother, you're back." Yan Laoer came up and gave him a hug, then looked his brother up and down, his eyes full of joy: "That's great, that's great, brother, are you tired? Are you cold?" He touched Seeing that his elder brother's clothes were a little thin, he subconsciously wanted to take off his clothes and put them on for him.

The moment Yan Huaiwen was hugged was a little stiff, but soon softened, not only his body, but also his heart.

Seeing that my younger brother was covered in moisture and his hair was wrapped, he knew that he had just finished taking a bath, so how could he be allowed to take off his clothes.

Holding his hand, he said in a warm voice, "God bless, brother is not cold."

"Brother, let's talk about it, the boat will probably have to be unloaded for a while." Yan Laoer shouted to the Yamen servants on and off the boat who he didn't know: "Brothers have worked hard all the way, and they have all arrived in our village. How can we pass by?" The reason for entering is to go to my house, there is no wine soup, but there is broth, go, go, go to our house to drink a bowl, warm your body..."

Yan Lao Er was extremely enthusiastic, he called out his name to those he knew, and introduced him to those he didn't know, good guy, these strange yamen servants turned out to be Gu Feng's.

Master Gu Feng is benevolent and righteous! Not only borrowing boats, but also borrowing people!

He talked to a big brother, shouted with enthusiasm, and spoke and acted openly. Seeing that everyone in the village had come, Yan Laoer asked a few people on the boat to guard the boat.

"Why are you in such a hurry for this night? It's been a long time since I've been away. I've made up my mind. I'll go to our village to rest for a night, and then leave at dawn. This boat is also sent by our village. People stare at it, if you can’t lose it, the brothers on the boat will be affected. I’m sorry, I don’t have a chance this time. Next time, I will definitely come to our village to walk around. Let someone send it to you, the big guy will deal with it, don't dislike it..."

Huju's yamen servants all know what kind of person Yan Lao Er is. This student of the Grand Master's way of dealing with people is so heart-warming.

Gu Feng's yamen servants were surprised.

I walked all the way with Yan Hushu from Huju City. No, to be precise, it was Yan Hushu who was sent to Gufeng. This person is not a very close person. At a glance, it was as if he could see through people. When the weather cooled down, he felt that this person was covered with cold air, and he could freeze even if he got close.

Unexpectedly, such Yan Hushu would have such a passionate younger brother.

Is it dear?

Gu Feng's yamen servant sneaked a look at the eyebrows of the two.

Although this Second Master Yan only showed the facial features in the middle of his face, he could indeed see that the two looked alike, so they should be brothers without a doubt.

When people from Xiao'an Village gathered around, Gu Feng's yamen servants felt the simplicity and enthusiasm of the whole village even more.

There is no need for them to touch their hands at all. Many men came to the village, some driving cars and some running.

The old people in this village are also energetic, and their shouts are loud and vigorous.

Command the people in the village to move things out of the boat, load them into cars, and transport them back.

On the first trip, only a few grain bags were transported, and many people were transported.

Village head Luo didn't let them go to the field, and went back to the village by car.

It's true, I'm afraid they don't know the way of the village, and they will turn their feet again in the dark.

Yan Lao Er was the first to load the car, and he took his brother and ran away without anyone else.

After pulling away from the big guys, Yan Laoer turned around on Sanbao's back and asked, "Brother, why are there so many grains? I didn't dare to ask you just now."

Yes, Second Yan saw something was wrong.

How much money Yan Huaiwen took away is not known to others, how can he not know.

He passed each one under his eyes. His brother and Man Shan had kept the account of the official office, but in the end, he had to show Mr. Tian to see it.

Who is Mr. Tian, ​​his dear teacher.

From study to life to official affairs, Master Tian teaches students not only, but also covers all aspects.

Let's put it this way, he knows what his teacher knows about the government office, and he knows what his teacher doesn't notice.

Yan Huaiwen hummed, reached out to touch the grain bag beside him, and said in a voice that only Yan Lao Er could hear: "The elder Gu Feng borrowed some money, God bless, remember to remind Mr. Tian to make up an owed receipt. "

Yan's second son almost got a cramp in his neck!

"The elder Gu Feng borrowed... lend us money?!" He felt that he had heard it wrong.

"God bless, watch the way." Yan Huaiwen reminded.

Yan Laoer hurriedly turned around and looked ahead: "Brother, Gu Feng's master borrowed a boat, borrowed a person, and borrowed money... What is he planning?"

At this moment, Yan Laoer felt that he wanted to refresh his impression of Mr. Gu Feng?

In the past... Although I had little contact with him, but it sounds like I don't look like such a warm-hearted and kind-hearted person!

Yan Huaiwen: "There is a plan. This borrowed money does not need to be returned with money, and the money is paid for by grain."

Yan Laoer understood immediately after thinking about it.

Gu Feng's master is really good at calculating.

For example, when Hu Ju went back to Linhai to buy grain, it can't just be counted as the money for buying grain, and all kinds of expenses must be added in here, but since Mr. Gu Feng sent the yamen servants to follow, people will naturally want to inquire about the price of the grain. When they pay back the food, it's not easy to add the cost of transporting the food, and they will come out manually, and he just waits for the food to be delivered to the door...

"This trip to Linhai Mansion, the food and drink expenses of the people on board are all our money?" Yan Lao Er asked a very crucial question.

Seeing his brother nodding his head, Second Yan let out a sigh.

Didn't say anything.

Now is the time when tigers are in trouble, and Gu Feng is willing to borrow money, which is rare. Private loans of such a large amount of money have to be calculated as interest, and it is regarded as paying interest. After this winter, it will be fine. up.

...

Before Yan Yu could go out with her elder sister, her father and uncle entered the yard.

The two sisters had a busy meal, and Nanny Rong poured out her father's bath water first, then washed it clean, leaving them with the job of boiling water and pouring water...

While Yan Huaiwen was taking a bath, Yan's second child hurriedly prepared broth.

I just promised to go out, how can I say nothing.

He kept a close eye on it, and deliberately didn't explain what kind of broth it was.

Fish soup is also broth, and chicken soup and lamb soup are also broth.

As soon as he heard his brother say that Mr. Gu Feng borrowed the boat, people, and money three times, Yan Lao Er made up his mind. Although there is interest in borrowing money, no matter what, they are grateful if they are willing to lend a hand at this time.

I'm going to bleed a little today.

The mutton soup is on top.

He walked to the backyard, wanting to see if his sheep were still there and whether they had been eaten. If there were no sheep to catch, he would go to Luo's house to have a look. He remembered that Luo San said that he collected some sheep when he went to the big fair last time. The sheep are coming.

As soon as Yan Laoer hugged a ram, he pulled it away.

The sheep bleated non-stop, and summoned Mammy Rong.

Nanny Rong looked at him suspiciously.

While wrestling with the ram, Yan Lao Er said, "I want to make mutton soup for guests."

Nanny Rong waved at him, pointed to the cellar, and made gestures.

Yan Lao Er understood a little bit, and the hand holding the sheep's neck eased: "Is there mutton in the cellar? Is there a lot?"

Nanny Rong nodded, making gestures.

Yan Laoer looked happy and let go of the ram.

The ram fled quickly, bleating and ran to reunite with the ewes.

The sheep do not need to be slaughtered, and the sheep soup is made very quickly.

The stoves of Yan's and Luo's were turned on at the same time, and the mutton soup was ready soon.

The village happened to have prepared a lot of dry food, and moved some out to serve.

The yamen servants don’t dislike staying by the stoves of various houses in the village at all, watching the stoves, warming up a little bit, and then drinking a mouthful of vigorous mutton soup, this taste is very delicious!

Second Yan waited outside the door eagerly: "Brother, let me go in and rub your back?"

Yan Huaiwen's voice came out: "No need."

As soon as Yan Laoer thought of something to explain tomorrow's action, Yan Huaiwen came out after washing up briefly.

The hair is slightly damp, and it seems that it has not been washed, but only lightly brushed.

"Father!" Da Ya came up to meet her, and said with a smile: "The fire wall is lit, and it will be hot in a while."

Yan Huaiwen waved at her, and took out a silver hairpin from nowhere, with a few plum blossoms the size of soybeans carved on the head of the hairpin, although small, it was very delicate.

"Seeing this hairpin, I feel that it matches my first son."

Big Ya's eyes lit up little by little, shining brightly.

"Thank you dad!" She held the plum blossom hairpin in her hand, and the corners of her lips couldn't stop twitching upwards. Her whole body revealed a bit of charm that she didn't usually show, and her nine-point color added two points, which was very beautiful.

Yan Yu let out a "wow", thinking that the eldest sister is really good-looking.

Yan Laoer did what he said, and invited the yamen servants to drink sheep soup. Zhang Luo, the head of Luo village, found them a place to stay in the village, and tacitly did not arrange for them to go to Yan's house.

Yan Huaiwen saw the little knowledge, and knew that something must happen in the village.

...

In the study of the Yan family.

Second Yan is explaining the plan for tomorrow.

Several village elders added from time to time, saying that Xiao Er and Qi Si brought back cattle and sheep from Beirong, and the excitement of these old men seemed as if they had seen their own relatives.

Yan Yu...

Hehe, Yan Yu is now an obedient child, listening obediently by the side without interrupting a word.

She looked like she was listening carefully to what her father and the village elders had to say.

The peripheral vision from the corner of her eyes kept falling on her uncle, and she dared not relax for a moment.

Yan Huaiwen glanced at Xiaoer a few times, then looked away.

He seldom made a sound, and only asked a few brief questions at a few key points.

Wait for things to be clarified.

Yan Huaiwen said slowly: "The preparations in the village are very proper. Since the action is scheduled for tomorrow morning, it seems inconvenient for us to go back to the village to rest tonight..."

"It's nothing inconvenient, big brother. I've already thought about it. We'll leave later tomorrow, and the journey will be faster. It won't delay the appointment with Xue Zongqi."

"You go back to the village and lead people to walk in the mountains, who will support you at the government office?" Yan Huaiwen thought for a while, then frowned slightly: "Could it be... Mr. Tian?"

Yan Laoer explained: "The teacher said that he only sent people out of customs, and he would not go there in person."

Yan Huaiwen looked at him with disapproval.

These words...God bless you actually believed it?

Quack~ I thought I could write about people going to Beirong today, but I didn’t expect it~~~~
