At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Youcai took his eldest son Da Yan into Shangrao County, who was struggling to carry a sack of sweet potatoes and slowly followed his father Xu Youcai.

Xu Youcai turned around and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, you are faster than anyone else when you eat, and slower than a pig when you work, hurry up!" ”

Da Yan said dissatisfiedly: "You come to carry the sack and try, standing and talking will not hurt your back." ”

"Ouch, those who eat Lao Tzu live in Lao Tzu dare to be stubborn!" Xu Youcai turned around and kicked Da Yan's ass.

Da Yan took the opportunity to throw the bag of sweet potatoes on the ground, and said angrily: "The emperor is not a hungry soldier, let alone Lao Tzu, I am hungry and can't carry it, you can carry it yourself!" ”

"Little bastard, the wings are hard, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will beat you to death!" Xu Youcai took off his shoes and wanted to shave one of his son's shoe ears.

The big man stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Hit, hit hard, wait until you are old to see how to clean you up!" ”

Xu Youcai froze in place for a moment, scolding in his mouth, but the sole of the shoe did not continue to fight.

A hint of pride flashed in Da Yan's eyes, and he simply sat on the bag of sweet potatoes, no matter how Lao Tzu scolded, he just refused to stand up.

Xu Youcai couldn't help it, his eyes rolled and said, "Little rabbit, aren't you hungry?" I heard that your tenth uncle opened a haggis shop in the West Market, and when it arrives, it won't be for you to eat. Fragrant haggis, drooling when you smell it! ”

This thing couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he said it, Da Han's eyes lit up, he licked his lips and said, "What should I do if my aunt asks us to pay then?" ”

Xu Youcai pouted and said: "It's all your own family, what do you pay, the reason why your tenth uncle is here today is not thanks to his father to take care of him back then, what is it to eat a few bowls of haggis from him!" ”

Da Yan pouted and said: "You save it, Dad, when did you take care of Uncle Ten, let's take last year, Uncle Ten was about to die, and my aunt came to ask you for food, but you didn't give a single grain." At this time, let's go to the door and not be picked up, just forget it, and still want to eat and drink for nothing! ”

Xu Youcai was exposed by his son, and he was embarrassed and angry: "Little rabbit cub, which pot is not opened, don't talk nonsense, I want to eat haggis and carry sweet potatoes for Lao Tzu!" ”

Da Yan slowly stood up, carried the bag of sweet potatoes, and then followed his father to the West Market.

It is said that the patriarch Xu Deming sent Erniu into the county seat, and originally instructed him to return to the village to report the news after the government tried to release the list, but a few days ago, Mo Guan took people to the store to make trouble, Xu Jin left Erniu and asked Dabao to go to Xujia Village to deliver the letter.

But Dabao was robbed by "bandits" when he left the city, and the letter was naturally not delivered. It is estimated that the day of the trial release of the list has passed, and the patriarch Xu Deming waited for a few days and did not see Erniu return to the village to report the news, so he planned to send someone into the city again to see what was going on.

At this time, Xu Youcai volunteered and took his eldest son Da Yan to Shangrao County, first, he could fight his teeth, and secondly, he heard that Xu Jin had opened a shop in the city to "make a fortune", and he planned to come to rub some oil and water.

As for the bag of sweet potatoes carried by Da Yan, it was also dug in the yard of Xu Jin's house, before leaving Xujia Village last year, Xie Xiaowan got some sweet potato stems and planted them in her yard, and this year, the vines of sweet potatoes have climbed all over the yard.

Because of the consideration of letting Xu Jin return to the village to worship his ancestors after the government test, the patriarch Xu Deming asked the villagers to clean up the Xu Jin family's house a few days ago, and by the way, he also dug up the sweet potatoes and filled a large basket. Xu Youcai simply packed some sweet potatoes as souvenirs and brought them into the city.

……

Xinjiang Academy got off school at five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Jin walked to the gatehouse of the academy, and saw the two Fei brothers waiting there as usual, and the three of them now return to the city together almost every day.

"The people receive, the people give!" Xu Jin greeted him.

"Brother Xu!" Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong looked a little embarrassed, obviously they had heard some rumors about the third sister and Xu Jin today.

Xu Jin was also very embarrassed, the three of them went down the mountain together, until they walked to the foot of the mountain, and they didn't say a word for the first time, you must know that if it was in the past, Fei Maozhong, who likes to debate, would have been gushing endlessly.

"Ahem, Brother Xu, you are going back to Xujia Village the day after tomorrow to worship your ancestors, have you notified the village?" Fei Maoxian was the first to break the silence.

Xu Jin shook his head and smiled: "No, just go back when the time comes, in fact, there is nothing to prepare, and it is not a famous family, so there is not so much attention!" ”

Fei Maozhong quipped: "Brother Xu is young and talented, and in the future, he will be named on the gold list and enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and by then the Shangrao Xu family will become a famous family." ”

Xu Jin smiled bitterly: "Minshou, it's been so long, and you're still making fun of this!" ”

mentioned the first time they met by the Xinjiang River last year, the three of them couldn't help laughing, and the Fei family brothers showed warmth in their eyes.

Fei Maozhong said with a smile: "I have no talent to show talent, Brother Xu sent me this link, and the people will remember it for the rest of their lives!" ”

Xu Jin said: "What does the old Sige old say?" ”

The three of them immediately laughed, and the slightest estrangement due to the rumors disappeared.

Fei Maozhong took the initiative to say: "Brother Xu, thanks to your message yesterday, I also saved my sister, as for ...... You don't have to pay attention to all the gossip! ”

Xu Jin smiled slightly: "I'm still worried that you guys care, Miss Ruyi is okay now, right?" ”

The Fei brothers all showed unnatural expressions on their faces, Fei Maozhong hesitated for a moment, and said: "My father is angry, it's the first time I've seen him so angry, the younger sister is still locked in the room and is not allowed to come out, the fourth sister was also grounded by the third uncle, and the third sister is ...... I'm sick, and I haven't had a fever yet, and I've been talking nonsense. ”

In fact, Fei Maozhong also concealed some things, such as Fei Ruyi in a fever, who was confused, and occasionally chanted Xu's name.

Xu Jin frowned, in the era when there were no antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, fever was an extremely tricky thing, and he could only rely on his own resistance to carry it.

Thinking that Fei Ruyi might lose his fragrance, Xu Jin's heart felt like a boulder had been crushed, but he was not a doctor, so he really couldn't help!

The three of them returned to the city and were about to part ways, Fei Maoxian hesitated, and finally pulled Xu Jin aside, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Xu, you ...... Can you take some time to see my third sister! ”

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment and said, "Minxian, I won't see a doctor!" ”

"Uh...... It's not for you to see a doctor, just go to see her, the third sister has been delicate and weak since she was a child, this time she soaked in the river, and she was overly frightened, and now she is very sick, I am really worried that it will be gone...... Alas, you rescued her, you go and see her, maybe it will help! Fei Maoxian sighed at the end.

Xu Jin was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that it won't be appropriate!" ”

"It's okay, I'll take you there, and the people in the house won't chew their tongues!"

Xu Jin nodded when he heard this: "Then I'll go visit Miss Ruyi tomorrow morning!"

"Brother Xu, thank you!" Fei Maoxian said gratefully, compared to his own sister Fei Xiaoyu, Fei Maoxian loves his cousin Fei Ruyi more, this cousin has no mother since she was a child, and she lost her father last year, Fei Maoxian, as the eldest brother, pities Fei Ruyi even more.

Xu Jin and Er Niu returned to the haggis shop and found that today's popularity seemed to have recovered a little, and a few people were dining.

"Fourth uncle, big guy, why are you here!" Erniu suddenly hummed and shouted.

Xu Jin found out that at one of the tables, the two people who were eating and drinking were actually the fourth brother Xu Youcai's father and son, and he immediately frowned imperceptibly, he didn't like people like Xu Youcai very much.

"Ouch, the tenth brother is out of school!" When Xu Youcai saw Xu Jin, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stood up with a smile, and reached out to pat his son Da Yan, who was still eating wildly, and scolded: "Foodie, you know how to eat, hurry up and say hello to your tenth uncle!" ”

"Hello Uncle Ten!" The big man stood up reluctantly, his eyes still refusing to take his eyes off the large piece of haggis in the bowl.

Although Xu Jin didn't like Xu Youcai, he was not a shallow-eyed person, so he nodded calmly and said, "Fourth brother, why are you here?" ”

Xu Youcai used to dare to bully Xu Jin, but now he doesn't dare to give ten dares, this nerd who couldn't beat a sullen fart with three sticks before is not what it used to be, and he even picked up the county test and the government test before he was fifteen years old.

What is the concept of the first case of the government test? The first place in the entire Guangxin Mansion!

So although Xu Jin is lukewarm now, Xu Youcai still said with a smile: "That's the case, the patriarch saw that Erniu hadn't returned to the village for so long, so let me go into the city to take a look, by the way, the patriarch asked me to ask the tenth brother, when will I go back to the village to worship my ancestors?" ”

Xu Jin said indifferently: "I will go back to the village on the eighth day of junior high school, this Xiaowan should tell you, right?" ”

"Hehe, the younger brother-in-law mentioned it just now, but what the woman's family said is not accurate, I will confirm with the tenth brother, since the tenth brother said that it is the eighth day of the first month, then I will rush back to the village tomorrow to inform the patriarch to get ready."

Xu Jin didn't bother to say more to him, nodded and said: "Fourth brother eat slowly, after eating, let Erniu take you to the inn to open a room for one night, Xiaowan, give Erniu thirty yuan." ”

Not to mention that there are too many people in the family to live in now, even if they can live, Xu Jin doesn't want people like Xu Youcai to live at home.

Xie Xiaowan answered, took out thirty coins and handed them to Erniu, who knew that Xu Youcai swooped over, took the copper money first, and said with a smile: "Don't bother Erniu, I'll go to the inn by myself then!" ”

The little slave who was burning the stove couldn't help but pout!

Xu Jin didn't bother to care about him, as long as he didn't live at home, he didn't care if Xu Youcai took the money to go to the inn, and he chatted casually and returned to the back house.

"Brother-in-law, if your family is all like this, don't do it!" The little slave followed behind Xu Jin and said with an unhappy face.

It is said that Xu Youcai's father and son came to the store by themselves, and they ate and took advantage of everything, and they ate ten bowls of haggis alone, like a starving ghost reincarnated, and the most dissatisfied thing for the little slave was that this Xu Youcai took the uncle's shelf in front of Sister Xiaowan, but Sister Xiaowan was still waiting politely.

Xu Jin smiled: "It's not all, it's like a basket of grains, there are always some deflated, just pick them up and throw them away!" ”
