After discussing that he wanted to buy land, Xu Shouliang went to the Liu family.

Mrs. Li went out to visit her, and Xu Huai had something to do. Ningxiang covered her sleeping younger brother with a quilt. She opened the bag and took out a fine silk handkerchief from it and handed it to Xu Qiuer. "Mrs. She gave me some scraps and made it to Mama Li. She gave me a piece. It was too young to do anything, so she embroidered a handkerchief. Next month, the twelfth day of her sister is her birthday. This is what my sister gave her in advance."

Satin things are rare, Xu Qiuer took them in surprise, looked over and over again, touched the exquisite plum blossom embroidery pattern on it and praised: "Sister embroidery is so beautiful, it is better than the one sold in the embroidery workshop!"

Ningxiang smiled awkwardly, her face slightly red. When she first entered the Hou Mansion, they had to learn rules and learn to recognize characters and learn to learn to be a girl. She was the most serious when she learned to be a girl. She thought that she could use a handkerchief to sell money to the embroidery workshop in the future, and saved money to redeem her body as soon as possible. When she was embroidered, she excitedly pulled Su Yue to the embroidery workshop, but the shopkeeper told them that there were enough embroidery wives and no longer needed to find anyone, and her girl red was not outstanding enough to make an exception.

So she could only earn the maid's monthly money with peace of mind.

"What is that?" Xu Qiuer was ignoring the veil when she suddenly glanced at a small wooden head in her sister's bag and asked curiously.

Ningxiang lowered her head and then realized that the wood carving that Pei Jinghan sent her brother was exposed, and she had forgotten about reunion with her family before.

"The second young master in the mansion played the rest and threw it to the prince's side. The prince knew that Amu was still young, so he rewarded me." Ningxiang took out the wood carving and lowered his eyes and lied.

"But it looks the same as new." Xu Qiuer took the wood carving of Wu Song fighting the tiger and sighed, "The rich man is different. He threw it away so new. If he replaced it with Amu, he would still be treated as a treasure even if the paint fell off."

Ningxiang listened and looked at the wood carving. The second young master of Lenovo pulled the mutton fat and jade pendant on his waist and nodded in agreement. The children of rich and poor families lived in heaven and earth.

The two sisters were talking when two men's voices came from the gate, one of which was Xu Shouliang and the other...

"It's Uncle Liu!" Xu Qiuer whispered to Ningxiang, and the two sisters hurriedly put on their shoes and got out to greet the people.

Living in the same village, Liu Quan saw Xu Qiuer too much, and saw Ningxiang's eyes blooming. He stopped and stared at Ningxiang for a while before he was surprised: "In the blink of an eye, Xiang'er has become a big girl. I almost recognized her just now!"

He remembered that Ningxiang, who was eleven years old, was thin and small, and looked good, but she was worn and not grown, so she was not particularly outstanding in the village. Now three years later, the girl's face was tender and tender. Although she was wearing thick winter clothes, her figure seemed to be thinner than others.

It would be great if he had seen this girl earlier, so that his younger son would not have seen her, so that he would not have to marry the Zhou daughter as a fairy, and would have to spend a lot of extra money. Now he still had to sell two acres of land to successfully marry his daughter-in-law.

After being amazed, Liu Quan followed the Xu family into the house. Seeing Amu sleeping on the kang, he lowered his voice and said helplessly: "Xiang'er, Uncle's family is in a hurry to use money now. You will not be back at the end of next month. Do you think this will happen? Let's go to the village chief's house to write a contract. Tomorrow, Uncle will go to the city with you. You will get the silver for me. Let's go to the yamen to stamp the official seal?"

This is what it should be, Ningxiang agreed immediately.

Keep Xu Qiuer in the house, Ningxiang went to the village chief's house with the two elders, and the deed was quickly drafted. The village chief and Xu Shouliang pressed the person in the handprints, and they will be handed over to Liu Quan for the time being. Tomorrow Ningxiang paid the money, Liu Quan gave her the deed again.

After leaving the village chief’s house, Xu Shouliang invited Liu Quan to sit at his house again.

Liu Quan shook his head and looked to the west and said, "I met the house next to our land two days ago. I asked him if he wanted to buy the land. If you don't buy it, I'll sell it to them. Now we have decided, and I have to tell them, so that they won't wait in vain."

Ningxiang didn't think much, and Xu Shouliang suddenly had a little more concern, "Then, we snatched the land from the ground, will it be..."

"No, the three brothers are honest people. In the future, they will only help you. They will never make trouble because of this little thing. They are not those wives who have to fight for a single egg. Don't worry about it!" Liu Quan patted his chest and promised, and after saying that, he made an appointment with Ningxiang to enter the city tomorrow, and then he left.

He knew where the Lu family lived, so he strided hard and arrived at the door of the Lu family soon.

Lu Cheng had just come out of the cottage with his son in his arms, and his second and third brothers went to the frozen shallows of Beihe River to dig loaches. His younger sister was still young and he was worried that he would let her hold Anan, so as long as he was at home, Anan would do it or not.

"Uncle Liu?" Seeing Liu Quan, Lu Zhi turned around and walked towards the door with Anan in his arms.

Anan wore a thick cotton jacket and leaned obediently on his father's shoulder. He wore a gray rabbit-skin hat made for him by his father. The gray rabbit fur made the boy's face whiter. His black eyes stared at the stranger at the door for a while, then suddenly turned his head, and his forehead was pressed against his father's shoulder, and his little mouth was pursed tightly.

Liu Quan knew that the child recognized his child, and smiled, touched the rabbit-skin hat on the boy's brain and praised Lu Cheng, "You are both a father and a mother, your hands are really a coincidence." This is a gray rabbit that Lu Cheng caught. After eating the meat, he couldn't bear to sell the skin, so he made him tinker into a small hat. It was a bit big, but it was better if it was big, and the little guy could use it for another two years.

"Uncle Liu is about to sit in the house." Anan was wearing open-stand pants, and Lu Cheng covered the little guy's butt with big hands, afraid that he would be frozen.

Liu Quan hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I'm here to tell you about the two acres of land. My villager bought it, so..."

The land I wanted to buy was gone, and Lu Cheng could not be disappointed, but it was soon calmed down. He smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't have to buy it anyway. If we sell it, we will sell it. I wonder which one is it? Is it easy to get along with? I'm going to farm in spring. I'll learn about it first, and it's easier to deal with it at that time."

There are often people in the village who have quarrels because their home is occupied by the next door, so Lu Cheng and Xu Shouliang will inquire.

Liu Quan nodded in understanding. When Lu Cheng asked in detail, he explained a few more words, "It's great. There is a maid in our village who is a maid in the Marquis's mansion, right? She bought it for her younger brother. Now that the child is young, he should be planted by his uncle in the future, and they are all honest people."

Lu Cheng showed an expression of remembering the Xu family affairs.

After talking about the main business, Liu Quan was in a hurry to go home and left now.

Lu Cheng stood at the door and watched him walk away. When he turned around and walked into the house, he raised Anan high and asked him, "It seems that God also thinks I am suitable for her. I have sent someone to me. Don't worry, Anan, I will take you to see your mother in a while."

When he spoke, his eyes were full of energy and he smiled confidently, as if Ningxiang had agreed to marry him.

Anan didn't understand Dad's good mood, and his butt was chilly. He frowned uncomfortablely and twisted his eyebrows back to Dad's arms.

Lu Cheng laughed, put down his son and walked into the house quickly.

~

It's getting dark.

Ningxiang put the stool on the edge of the kang, then went to the outside kitchen, scooped hot water from the west pot into the washbasin, and then mixed it with some coolness from the water tank. After touching it, she picked up the basin and returned to the west room, and said to her younger brother who was sitting on the quilt and fiddling with the wood carving, "Come and wash your feet."

Amu held the wood carving and moved it to the edge of the kang, and tentatively put a pair of small feet in it.

"Is it hot?" Ningxiang asked softly.

Amu shook his head and looked at his sister and smiled.

Ningxiang touched his head, bent down to wash his brother's feet, and after washing, she added some hot water and soaked her feet.

After pouring water, he closed the door, Ningxiang went to the kang, snatched the wood carving in his younger brother's hand and said, "I'm going to bed, I'll play tomorrow."

"Then put it next to me." Amu followed the wood carving in his sister's hand and said reluctantly.

Ningxiang put the thing on the kang, then helped his younger brother take off his thick cotton coat, and the siblings got into the bed together.

There are two kangs in the east and west houses. Originally, Xu Shouliang and his wife slept in the east house, and Xu Qiuer and Amu slept in the kang in the west house. They pulled a curtain at night to separate them from Xu Huai there. It is incredible to the rich families that sleep in the same house, but this is the countryside. Xu Huai can sleep next door in summer, but in winter, there are not so many firewood to burn kangs. The Xu family is quite particular, and some families are crowded on the same kang.

In order to let the siblings talk well, Xu Huai and his sister moved to the east room tonight. In fact, there is no hurdle. In winter, they are dressed thickly and covered tightly, so there is no need to worry about seeing what they shouldn't have seen, which will cause embarrassment.

"Sister is so delicious." Amu hugged his sister reliably, very happy.

"Do you know that Amu is not allowed to go to Beihe in the future?" Ningxiang kissed her younger brother and told her softly, "If you want to play in the water, please let your elder brother take you there. If your elder brother is not available, you still have a second sister. You are not allowed to go with Dazhuang. What if you fall into the water and can't climb up?"

Because it did happen, although she didn't cry, she still sounded very scared and sad.

Amu could already tell the adult's emotions. He couldn't see his sister in the dark. He stretched out his little hand to touch his sister's face, "Sister doesn't cry, I'll listen to my sister."

The siblings felt sorry for each other, but they were more happy after a long separation. They fell asleep as they chatted.

In the neighboring village, Lu Cheng and his brother were sleeping in the west room. A Tao slept in the west room by himself.

In the east room, Lu Cheng and his son slept the hottest kang, Lu Yan slept in the middle, and Lu Ding, the youngest thirteen-year-old Lu Ding slept outside, which was also the coldest place. But Lu Ding had no complaints because...

It was late at night and Anan suddenly cried twice, and Lu Cheng and Lu Yan woke up in an instant.

The brat is about to swear.

Just as Lu Cheng was about to get up, his crotch suddenly became hot.

He suddenly froze there.

Lu Yan had already put on his coat and got off the floor. The little guy had to swear in the middle of the night and had to suck milk. There were sheep milk squeezed in advance in the pot outside, and two fires in the stove could warm it up. The two brothers were sucking the child and the other went to suck the fire. It had been more than half a year since Lu Yan lit the light, but saw the eldest brother sitting there motionlessly.

"Have you urinated again?" Lu Yan asked clearly.

Lu Cheng looked at the boy who had done something bad in the quilt and had a face crying and humming, sighed, lowered his eyes and said, "Find me a pair of pants first."

Lu Yan pointed to the kang and said, "Aren't they all under the mattress?" He put it under the mattress, his pants were hot. Once Anan urinated, he could change it to a new one.

"I want to change it, he's spraying me." Lu Cheng touched Anan's butt, and it was fine at all. He crawled out of the quilt and looked at himself. It was wet, as if he was the one who was peeing on the kang. I don't know why the little guy was so straight tonight.

The only thing that didn't move was suddenly a dull smile in the bed.

Lu Cheng frowned and looked over. The third brother Lu Ding had already retracted his head back to the quilt.

Lu Yan looked at his elder brother. Because his pants were wet, the things inside became obvious. He stared at him and couldn't smile.

There seems to be a big gap between me and my elder brother...

No wonder he had the nerve to reveal it.

Lu Yan quickly flipped out the cabinet and threw it onto the kang and went to burn the fire.

The pants were cold, and Lu Cheng was so cold that he shivered when he changed into it. He got into his second brother's quilt for a while before he returned to his quilt and carried Anan, who was crying and howling, into his arms to coax.

So when Lu Yan finished feeding the nephew in his elder brother's arms bit by bit with a spoon, he felt that it was not too hot...
