Xu Qing was smart and immediately looked at Li Changfeng, who was beside him with an unpleasant face, and smiled embarrassingly, "Hey, Changfeng, are you hungry?"
Li Changfeng raised his eyebrows, looking at Xu Qing's fair skin that was still exposed under the clothes, and replied, "I'm always hungry."
After hearing this, Xu Qing's face became hot, and he hurriedly looked at Brother Xie and Amo Xie. When he found out that they were teasing Tuan Tuan, he felt a little more relaxed. His hand under his sleeve was gently stretched out, and he went around from behind to Li Changfeng's. At the waist, he grabbed his firm and elastic flesh and pinched it gently, signaling Li Changfeng to relax in front of others.
Li Changfeng took it without pain or itching, "Hey, chubby chubby puppy!" With Xie Amo's laughter, Xu Qing hurriedly took the dazed Tuan Tuan, put him on his lap, and pulled him. Open the diaper, but not just pull it!
"This child, didn't you get it on you?" Xu Qing asked embarrassedly, it's really not very good that this New Year's Eve is covered in shit by the child.
"No, I just felt that he was trembling and exerting some force, so I knew he was pulling!" Xie Amo is also very experienced with children, so Xiao Tuantuan's movements could not be hidden from him.
Li Changfeng gave Xu Qing the new diaper, and by the way, he brought a bucket of hot water over, wiped Tuantuan's buttocks, and took the changed diaper to wash.
Xu Qing wiped his butt for Tuantuan while listening to Xie Amo's words. Brother Xie was also curious, "Can you know all this?"
"That's right, it seems that I can learn more from you in the future about things that Changfeng and I don't understand." Xu Qing wiped Tuantuan, and after changing, he kissed his face and looked at Xie Amei.
When Xie Amo talked about bringing children, he opened the chatterbox and kept going out. Fortunately, the audience was all people who had children or were about to have children.
That said, it's time to make dinner. The ingredients for the Chinese New Year are all ready, and it's easy to eat and cook. After Xie Ame and Xie Ge'er said goodbye, Li Changfeng and Xu Qing hadn't cooked for a quarter of an hour. The food was already on the table.
"Tomorrow, let's go to worship my father, alright." Li Changfeng took a chopstick of bacon for Xu Qing, and after seeing him eat it, he said.
Xu Qing chewed the bacon for a while, looked at Li Changfeng with a serious face, and said calmly: "Okay, listen to you."
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Li Changfeng and Xu Qing took the food, cannons, and candles that needed to be sacrificed. They carried umbrellas and balls on their backs. They locked the courtyard door and walked to the left side of the house. Go, Father Xu, Amo Xu is buried ten minutes away from home.
The two graves have been covered with snow, and from a distance, they look like two large steamed buns lying on the ground. Xu Qing and Li Changfeng placed the things they brought, and lighted white candles and guns. Hanging on a nearby tree.
"Father, ah," and the original Xu Qing, "I brought my man and our children to see you. I'm sorry, it took so long to see you." Xu Qing carried on his back. Tuantuan squatted down on the grave and burned paper money. The snow was not big, but it was cold, and the residue that burned to ashes was frozen into cold blocks after a while.
He has been in this world for a year. In this year, he has gone from being uneasy, defensive, to peace of mind and acceptance. The cruelty in the end of the world has made Xu Qing have a lot of cold-blooded elements in his heart, but that is because he is used to seeing the end of the world. Cruel and cold-blooded people and things, this world gives Xu Qing the sunshine and the new life, so he will slowly recover his nature. Originally, he was only a college student who had experienced the end of the world for a period of time.
I don't know what happened to the people in the orphanage, whether they are still alive in that cruel and indifferent world, or in other words, they are dead. Thinking of this, Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
Then he was hugged by a pair of big hands, and the voice of his innocent-looking man, who was actually black and cold-blooded on the inside, was in his ears: "I and the child are here."
Xu Qing rested his body on Li Changfeng's body relaxedly. There was nothing to say about this man being really good to him. What else could he be dissatisfied with? Tuantuan was quietly blowing bubbles, and Li Changfeng was quietly hugging his heart. The two people above, the snowflakes in the air are still falling, both beautiful and pure.
For other families, the first month is a busy day, but for Xu Qing and Li Changfeng, the first month is a day to stay at home, bring a baby, and bake a fire.
Li Changfeng has made it clear to the people in Li's courtyard that he will not go to New Year's Eve this year, so there is nowhere to go. In addition, Xu Qing has no relatives here, and no one is coming or visiting. The two were also enjoying themselves leisurely.
Staying at home, Xu Qing started to think about what to do after the new year, "We don't have an old man at home, so we can only take care of this child, we will start farming in the spring, and there will be nothing to do after the land is planted. We can do it, but we can't just sit back and eat."
Xu Qing told Li Changfeng about his ideas, "I want to open a grocery store at home, what do you think?" There is no seller in this village now, but if there is no oil, rice, salt tea at home, or the bear at home When children make a fuss about snacks, adults have to go to town to buy them. Some people just dragged on for more than a month to buy things together in town.
Li Changfeng thought about it and thought it was a good idea, "Then let's use the study room in front of the warehouse for children to put things."
Xu Qing shook his head, "No, the place is too small, and when the child grows up, the place has to be vacated."
Li Changfeng laughed and said, "How can you be so smart and confused, maybe the child grows up, our house is renovated again, and it is replaced with a bigger and better house. At that time, I was afraid that the child would not have a study."
Xu Qing was dumbfounded, let alone true, who could have predicted whether they would still live in this house a few years later, "That's fine, I'll listen to you, I'll clean up the land right now, as for the supply of goods. Well, salt and some cooking condiments, we can go to the town and buy them in large quantities, but this rice cereal will not work, and I can make other snacks myself and try them out."
So Xu Qing and Li Changfeng transformed the study prepared for Tuantuan into a small grocery store. Li Changfeng also built three large shelves, one on top of which can store things. The one in the grocery store faces the courtyard. The small window of the door has also been changed to a larger one, so that when others buy things, they can see the things in the house and conduct business directly through the window.
"There are a lot of things at home during the New Year. I'll go to the town to buy some salt, candy, snacks, etc. When I come back, I'll make a sound first, so that the villagers will know if it's not." Li Changfeng was so excited that he was ready to change his clothes. Go to town.
Just when he was about to pull the donkey cart, Xu Qing stopped him: "By the way, when it comes to candy, why don't you go to Wang's house and see that kid who wants to marry our brother."
Li Changfeng's heart moved, but this is not the reason, "Okay, then I'll take a look, you can be careful at home."
Xu Qing said angrily: "What do you call me! What is it like being a group!"
Li Changfeng grinned, pulled the donkey cart out of the courtyard gate, and headed for the town.
Li Changfeng wandered around the town for a few laps, and after finding the Wang family candy shop mentioned by Li Xiaogeer, he stepped in.
The business of the candy store is very good. Wang Lei can't do it alone, so he specially asked old man Wang to help. This New Year, who is not ready to order candy, Li Changfeng looked at the people in the store, turned his eyes, and found the one who is Wang Lei, a man who calls candy.
He didn't rush forward to ask anything, but stood aside and quietly listened to what Wang Lei said.
"Lin Ah, a total of forty-seven wen, this is a big New Year, I will give you an auspicious number, you can give forty-six wen, and by the way, I am also here to take the opportunity to give you a new year! I wish you good health and safety, and year after year!" Wang Lei said and laughed again, his sweet mouth made Lin Amel happy, he happily gave 46 pennies and went out with fructose.
And Wang Lei smiled again and went to work for the next person who was called candy. He was still smiling, and he was still willing to pay homage to the other person for a year, but what he said was different, which made people feel comfortable but not feeling disgust.
After listening to Li Changfeng, he really felt that this man was fluent in his mouth and feet, and he was admirable for his handling of things. Soon, after the flow of people in the store decreased, Li Changfeng walked directly to Wang Lei, "Brother, what is your pound of candy? How much silver?"
Wang Lei gave Li Changfeng a New Year's gift and said with a smile, "It's all twelve cents a pound, and the price is fair. How much do you want to come?"
Li Changfeng thought about it for a while. If he wanted to wait until there were wild fruits, he was afraid that it would be a while, so he should buy more, "I buy this number, how much can you give me?"
Li Changfeng stretched out five fingers and shook it in front of Wang Lei.
Wang Lei is also somewhat knowledgeable, so naturally he doesn't think Li Changfeng wants five pounds, "You want fifty pounds?"
Li Changfeng nodded, and when Old Man Wang heard it, this was a lot of business! But he didn't speak rashly, his children had ideas, and he couldn't mess up the situation.
Li Changfeng originally wanted five hundred kilograms, but he was afraid that he would not be able to sell it at home after buying too much, so he nodded along with Wang Lei's words, "Five kilograms first, if there is a chance, I may ask for more." It also depends on how the villagers sell.
Wang Lei nodded, "Then I'll give you nine cents a pound. I wish you and your family a long and happy life!"
Li Changfeng smiled upon hearing this, I wish he liked it! "Sure! Then just give me two taels of silver!"
"Good! Just wait, we'll find a sturdy and easy-to-use bag for you to pack!" Wang Lei and Wang Laohan started packing the candies Li Changfeng wanted.
Looking at Wang Lei's quick work, Li Changfeng agreed with this person in his heart. If Wang Lei dared to treat little brother Li badly, Li Changfeng also had a way to deal with him! Do not forget the original Ma Fugui.
Ma Fugui, who was suffocating in the grocery store, sneezed, "Whose little widow is this thinking about me again." Ma Fugui rubbed his nose, thinking of the Gao family widow who met last night, his heart warmed. The fat and ugly brother at home made him lose his appetite in bed, but he had to be forced to "pay the goods!" It made him nauseous, but fortunately there were good dishes waiting for him.
Thinking like this, Ma Fugui was secretly having fun, but the next moment he became depressed again. If he hadn't reconciled with Brother Xie, he wouldn't have ended up like this, alas!
When Li Changfeng returned home, he placed the candy, salt, and seasonings he bought in the grocery room. "There are more than 200 catties of candy, and the buyer is nine cents. He sells twelve cents. We sell fourteen cents. , their fare to and from the town is six cents, so it's not a loss."
Xu Qing nodded, and the others also added two or three texts. After setting up the things, Li Changfeng went to the village to find someone who wrote couplets for the villagers to write a small signboard, and came back and hung it on the window of the grocery store.
He went directly to explain it. He also deliberately went to Wei's house, Wu's house, and other places for a walk. The whole village knew that Li Changfeng and Xu Qing had opened a small grocery store, and there were some trivial things. , you can go to them, the price is only two cents more expensive, and you have to go to town by donkey cart for three cents! Also wasting time.
No, as soon as Xu Qing and the others sorted everything out, villagers kept coming.
"Yo, there's candy! My relatives are coming in the afternoon. How many children are there! Give me two kilograms!" The person who spoke was Ah Mei, who lived next to Lizheng's house. His son was in town. As a part-time worker, life is decent, and people are open-minded and generous.
Xu Qing nodded immediately, weighed the kilograms quickly, and put a handful of candy in the hand of the two-year-old child brought by the man, then Ah Mu quickly declined, Xu Qing said with a smile, "You are the first one. It's not much to patronize our guests, so just accept it."
Then Ah Mei grinned happily, handed the money to Xu Qing, took the child, took the candy, and left happily. On the way, he met the villagers who were walking to Xu's house, and he also said something specially. , which made the villagers even more curious.
With the first one, there is the second one. No, it's only one afternoon. There are only more than fifty kilograms of candy left, and the other goods are almost half less. Xu Qing is so happy that he smiles, this Zhang Nice drive!
In the evening, the two of them calculated the money. After deducting the cost, they both earned five hundred cents, which is half a tael of silver. Li Changfeng decided to go to town tomorrow to pull a big truck back, and the price could be cut a little more.
"By the way, you have met that Wang Lei, how is he?" Xu Qing recalled this serious matter about his brother, and asked Li Changfeng who was teasing him.
Li Changfeng pinched the tip of Tuantuan's nose, thinking of Wang Lei whom he had seen during the day, "I'm in good spirits, doing things swiftly, nimble, and being very thoughtful, which is quite acceptable."
"But this also depends on his business. If he really lives, I'm not sure. I can't let him come over to try it and then come to a conclusion, right?" Li Changfeng made a rare joke, and happily agreed. Qing didn't know what to say.
"Actually, I wouldn't mind if you did, right, Tuantuan?"
Xu Qing hugged Tuantuan and teased against Tuantuan's small forehead. Li Changfeng smiled indulgently, and whispered in Xu Qing's ear, "Aren't you afraid of being alone in the empty room?"
The author has something to say: Xu Qing: I would like to stay alone in the empty room every day, uh, but I still have to get together occasionally, it's all men!
