In early winter in the capital, the sky is clear and the clouds are light, and the fallen leaves are everywhere, adding to the desolation and desolation.In the Northeast, which is thousands of miles away, the wind is biting, and there have been several first snowfalls.

W county is located in the northeast corner of the three northeastern provinces. Although the sun is shining brightly, the air is dry and cold, and the cold air can blow into the bones.Pedestrians in a hurry on the road did not shrink their necks, and their bodies were tightly wrapped.Although the road has been swept clean, the black soil on the outskirts of the county is covered with white snow, which is dazzling white.

Hu Tianshu was wrapped in an old army green coat and wore a dark woolen hat on his head. He stamped his feet, rubbed his hands while exhaling, and opened the thick cotton felt curtain, and a gust of hot air rushed towards his face.

Surrounded by the red-hot stove, I roasted my hands, and when my body calmed down, I poured myself a cup of hot water from the kettle warmed on the stove. After I drank the cup of hot water, I finally felt a little warm.

The house is a large red brick room built facing the street, with a big kang head built in the corner, and a simple counter near the door.However, there is a large yard at the back, especially a few bright warehouses built in the yard. This is the front house that Hu Tianshu and Meng Dezhu rented in the county. I bought it in my hand, and the new husband is very powerful. [

After Hu Tianshu drank a cup of hot water, he felt so hot that he was sweating a bit, so he threw his hat on the counter, "Mencius, today's trip took away all the stocks in the warehouse, and the weather is getting colder and colder." Now, we can finally have a good cat winter. Cut a few catties of mutton and take it back, let's eat it in a hot pot!"

First, to celebrate the couple’s freshly released [-]-yuan household. Second, Hu Tianshu didn’t say anything. He just met his former colleagues and found out that his former boss, Director Wang, had finally gotten involved. The Discipline Inspection Commission has sent people to investigate.Hu Tianshu seems to be bold, but he is a man of success. He has a clear heart. The mistakes made by Director Wang can be big or small, but his nephew usually pulls the banner of Director Wang to do evil.

When Hu Tianshu used to eat public meals, because he couldn't get used to Director Wang's nephew, he was often put on small shoes!At that time, he lost his job and made Director Wang ashamed. When setting up this store, Director Wang's nephew made a lot of trouble.Grabbing business is considered light, the most excessive one is blocking the door to prevent the mountain people from coming to sell mountain goods!

Fortunately, both Hu Tianshu and Meng Dezhu had some means, so this small business was successfully arranged.It's just that, although it didn't affect much, it's quite annoying to come here every now and then to make trouble.

Therefore, the news brought by a former colleague is a piece of good news for Hu Tianshu, which is worth celebrating. The abscess on the toad's body has finally blocked the eyes of the top!Of course, Hu Tianshu also murmured in his heart, he couldn't tell if Director Wang got off the horse or not, whether there was Lao Zhai inside.

However, muttering recursion, Hu Tianshu is more aware of the rare and confused truth, whoever he is, let's celebrate first, no wonder the couple's business has been so smooth in the past few months!

Meng Dezhu sat behind the counter, clattering his abacus, writing down the accounts word by word.

Hu Tianshu casually picked up the account books that Meng Dezhu had transcribed, and grinned wider and wider the more he looked at them, "Well, Mencius, my brother and sister are really the nobles of our two brothers! If you say that your brother and sister are high-achieving students, who would have imagined it? After less than half a year, both of us brothers have become households with ten thousand yuan! This is why we intend to take it easy. Next year, if it is really like what Xiao Guo and the others said, we can get rid of our arms and make a lot of money. !"

In the past six months, Hu Tianshu felt that his life was like a fish in water.Although I am very busy, I am even more busy than helping the aunts of the neighborhood committee to find cats all day long, and smashing the locks for the uncle who forgot to bring the keys, but I am happy to be busy!

Both Hu Tianshu and Meng Dezhu are old veterans who have experienced the cruelty of the battlefield. After the heroism faded, they yearned for plain peace.When the children want to eat meat, they can spend money to buy meat for the children, and the daughter-in-law does not need to worry about money if she wants to add a beautiful dress. This kind of small money in the pocket is a good day for the two veterans. .

Meng Dezhu's bookkeeping hand paused. Although he didn't say anything, there was a three-point smile on his face. In the face of reality, this retired veteran who was almost crushed by poverty and poverty did not have the downheartedness and enthusiasm of a few months ago on his face. full.

Although the store is not very attractive, but because it never worried about overstocking, the price is fair and the payment is timely. Although the hard work is not enough for outsiders, it did not embarrass Lao Zhai and his younger siblings. In just a few months, it almost monopolized the entire store. The mountain product market in the county has a vague tendency to expand to communes in the suburban counties.

Meng Dezhu suddenly remembered the call he had just hung up, "By the way, Hu Zi, Lao Zhai just called and said that he married his younger siblings on New Year's Day!"

"Oh! Lao Zhai finally looked forward to his younger siblings growing up like cooking oil lamps! From the first time I saw Lao Zhai, I knew that the kid was a master of goods in his heart, and I didn't know when he fell in love with his younger siblings! However, Although the younger brothers and sisters are young, they look like little fairies, so it's not in vain for Lao Zhai to hold back all these years!"

Hu Tianshu said more and more, "Anyway, we also have Maodong, so we might as well take the children to the capital for an eye-opening tour! By the way, I also brought Uncle Meng, who doesn't read about Tian-an-men when he reads the news!"

However, after talking for a long time, seeing that Meng Dezhu hadn’t responded, he slapped his forehead, “Meng Zi, Lao Zhai mainly wanted you to go to the big hospital to see your legs after making this call? I don’t have time! I’ll accompany you this time, and it happens that Lao Zhai is getting married, so let’s see your legs first, and then have a wedding banquet!”

When Hu Tianshu talked about the central matter, Meng Dezhu smiled wryly, and patted his swollen injured leg, "Actually, my leg is just like this! Why let my younger siblings worry about it and waste that money! We have already gained the convenience of so many younger siblings, now we have this business, and you are the one who runs errands, this leg is not in the way at all! If it can’t be cured, it will always feel like a waste of siblings’ efforts!"

The past six months have been going smoothly, and Meng Dezhu doesn't care so much about his injured leg anymore!

Hu Tianshu frowned, and didn't quite agree with Meng Dezhu's excuse, "Mencius, you still can't tell what kind of character your siblings are! Besides, we and Lao Zhai have a lifelong friendship. If what you said just now made Lao Zhai and his siblings It hurts their hearts to hear it! You can’t hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. This leg can’t get better if it can’t be cured! Listen to my brother, let’s go to the capital together when the time comes, and take the children to see the root of the imperial city. By the way Treat the legs! To put it bluntly, Yingzi Xiaoying and the uncle are all pointing at you!" [

Hearing the names of Yingzi and Xiaoying, Meng Dezhu was a little moved, and asked back without confidence, "Why don't you go to the hospital in the capital to have a look!"

"Why don't you just go, you have to go! Why are you getting worse and worse! My brother and sister are right, you can't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment! If it can't be cured, we will waste two small money at most. If it can be cured, you usually don't care Save yourself this old crime!" Hu Tianshu patted Meng Dezhu on the shoulder with a disgusted look on his face.When I was so careless I didn't see it, when I was cold one day, it would hurt my legs!

Meng Dezhu knew that although Hu Tianshu's words were not pleasant, they were really for his own good!

When Hu Tianshu saw that Meng Dezhu acquiesced in the treatment of his legs, he was happy, his eyes rolled, and he went to another place, "Mencius, that old girl named Cuihua that my wife mentioned to you a few days ago, are you How can you think of it!"

"I didn't think about it! I just want to watch your uncle and Yingzi's sister and brother live a good life now! Yingzi is getting older, and can handle everything at home. Our four days are very happy!" Meng Dezhu said to He let go of his injured leg, but Meng Dezhu really has no idea about remarriage at the moment!

Hu Tianshu has been talked about by his wife a lot these days, and he persuaded him a few more words, "Mencius, you are only in your thirties, and you will have a lot of life in the future. Besides, Yingzi is still a little girl, how can you do the work at home?" It's all on Yingzi. No matter what, there must be a female elder in the family to teach her! Could it be that you still want Uncle Meng to find a wife?"

Meng Dezhu still listened to the first few words, but the more he listened to Hu Tianshu's words later, the more shameful he became, "You boy, you don't know what to say! The four of us are not living well now! Besides, Yingzi still has Huzi Mother taught her by hand?"

Seeing that Meng Dezhu didn't eat oil and salt, Hu Tianshu choked heavily.However, after thinking about it from a different standpoint, I feel that Meng Dezhu's words are also reasonable, and it's good for the masters to be happy with each other all day long!

Since Meng Dezhu and Hu Tianshu started their business together, Meng Dezhu moved his family from the mountains to Hu Tianshu's village, bought two small courtyards next to Hu Tianshu, and the two families became neighbors.It's just that Meng Dezhu and Hu Tianshu are usually busy, and sometimes they live in the store to look at the goods, and the two families eat together.The Hu family has no elders, and the Meng family lacks a housewife who loves children. The two families have become neighbors, and they are like a family.

Hu Tianshu's daughter-in-law, that is, Huzi's mother, used to love Yingzi's siblings very much. Now that the two children are next to each other, they treat the siblings like Huzi, and the three children are like their own siblings.And Mr. Meng came to the store to help out when he was free, and was usually responsible for taking the three children to school.

Hu Tianshu also lost his mind. Both Yingzi and Xiaoying are good children, but if they have a stepmother, they are afraid of having a stepfather. companion thing?

Meng Dezhu didn't care what Hu Tianshu was vacillating about, so he took the time to settle all the remaining accounts.

Hu Tianshu saw that the old god Meng Dezhu was there, and suddenly felt that he was the emperor, not the eunuch.However, Hu Tianshu finally realized that it is useless to talk about this matter with Mencius, a boring gourd, and he still has to discuss it with Uncle Meng. By the way, there is also that girl Yingzi, the little girl is precocious!

When Cao Cao arrived, Hu Tianshu was thinking about Mr. Meng and Yingzi, when he saw the thick cotton felt curtain hanging at the door was lifted, and saw two small cannons rushing over with a burst of air-conditioning.

In the past six months, after eating hot soup and hot meals meticulously, the skinny little eagle before has become a lot thicker, standing with the tiger with a thick head and a thick brain, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms has changed like two brothers.

The two little cannons entered the house, quickly took off their hats and threw them on the kang in the corner. The soldiers split into two groups and plunged into their father's arms. Their small mouths were like machine guns, "Dad, dad, grandpa said today It's too cold, we want to cut lamb for us to eat in a hot pot! Dad, let's go, hurry up and buy meat! If you go late, it will be gone!"

The weather in the Northeast is cold, the days are short, and the time for children to study is very short.Hu Tianshu and Meng Dezhu are both well-informed people who know the importance of knowledge. After school starts in September, the three children are studying in the county, and Mr. Meng usually picks them up.

The two chubby little cannons were still chattering when Mr. Meng and Yingzi and grandson just came in, "Yeah, Big Hu, Zhuzi, it's cold today, I'll cut a few catties of mutton, a piece of tofu, Let's go home and eat hot pot."

On Yingzi's shoulders was the backpack that Ya'er gave her during the summer vacation, and she just smiled with her mouth pursed. The peaceful and leisurely life for half a year made the little girl's delicate face less pretending to be strong, and more Two points of childishness.

Hu Tianshu is a rare child, with a tiger cub hanging on his body like a bear. He rubbed Yingzi's braids that he had just managed to tie up, and said with a smile, "Hey, uncle, you always want to be with me. I just talked with you." Mencius said that we are eating hot pot today!"

In this way, the two small cannons exploded with a bang, jumping and jumping happily, and really want to eat hot pot at night!

Compared with Hu Tianshu, Meng Dezhu, a father, is more restrained in his feelings. Although he is not as indulgent as Hu Tianshu, he puts down his work without hesitation. [

Careful Yingzi put the hats on the two younger brothers again. A few minutes later, Hu Tianshu drove out a second-hand electric donkey with a tent from the backyard, and covered his legs with an old overcoat. Meng Dezhu and his father squeezed behind them. , but also warm.

Press down on the stove, close the door, General Tie will check it out, cut the meat and go home to eat in a hot pot.

In the cold winter, it is a very wise choice for a family to sit together, the bottom of the old soup pot stewed on a low fire, and the steaming hot pot of vegetables, eggs and fish.

At least, in Ya'er's view, if you have a banquet in winter, inviting people to eat hot pot will save worry and effort.

In the 80s, going abroad was not an easy task. Even if Professor Stephen said he would arrange it as soon as possible, it would probably take a month or two to complete all the procedures.

Grandpa Du and the others knew that Ya'er would not go abroad for a while, so they calmed down a lot and prepared for the granddaughter-in-law's visit on the weekend with peace of mind.

Ya'er usually has a very full schedule, and didn't pay much attention to how the old ladies arranged it. It was Saturday night, and the yard was cold and windy, and Ya'er realized that Grandma Du and Mama Du were still frowning at the dinner table. .

As the saying goes, it is difficult to adjust, and it was agreed that five granddaughters-in-law will come to the door together tomorrow, and the old ladies were worried that they would miss the other, and they were worried that the hospitality would lose the children's face, and they were more nervous than Du Haoxuan and the others.

For matters at home, the old ladies and Mama Du are at home, and Grandpa Du and the others don't know how to persuade them!

Ya'er received the wink from Grandpa Du, helped the old ladies and Mama Du refill a bowl of hot porridge, and said comfortingly, "Grandma, mother, it's an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws, not a pretty mother-in-law seeing an ugly daughter-in-law. What are you worried about! Besides, the more serious you are, the more nervous the other party will be, so it's better to be more casual! How about this, we will have hot pot tomorrow, chicken, duck and fish can be boiled in the hot pot, and there is no need to worry about not suiting the other party's appetite!"

Grandma Du and Mama Du's eyes lit up, who were worrying about tomorrow's menu, "The hot pot that our family just ate two days ago? I think it's okay, so you don't have to worry about any taboos!"

Seeing the eyebrows of the old lady and Mama Du stretched, Ya'er smiled proudly at Grandpa Du and the others, but she still has to do it herself!

The author has something to say: Although it is a bit late, but it is not a short-haired gentleman, although the long-haired one is not yet!

The ugly daughter-in-law is going to see her in-laws!
