Chapter 120 Long time no see
Mrs. Han also hurriedly said: "Yes, big brother, don't look at our family's current income. But isn't this year over yet? When the year is over, just wait and see. That girl Qiulin He is very promising. When I went to the town to sell fish and lotus roots, I sold a few menus to others. Guess what, the young owner of Qingfeng Building paid 600 taels for it. After getting the money, I originally planned to Go to the town and choose a shop to buy and rent it out to businessmen to collect rent. But before this matter is implemented, the three companies bite like dogs. Let’s go to town and have a look.”

Hearing this, Han Dong couldn't help but gasp. This Qiulin must be too capable. It's unbelievable that a few menus can be sold for such a high price as several hundred taels of silver.He immediately felt extremely shocked, and it took him a while to recover.Looking at Qiu Lin who was working with Qiuyue in the kitchen again, she suddenly felt awe-inspiring, this girl is really amazing!For a moment, Han Dong felt speechless. I'm afraid that the eldest sister's family is not what it used to be. How many farmers can have so much money in their family?After being dumb for a while, Han Dong said something in a daze, "This Qiulin boy is really a big kid, to be so smart."

Mentioning the youngest daughter, both Xu Nanshan and Han had lingering smiles in their eyes, "Isn't it? These families only think that our family gets money by selling fish and lotus roots, but they don't know that even if Throughout the year, the fish and lotus root are only worth 40 taels of silver at most. How do you know that our family’s real money comes from a few menus.”

Han Dong was very emotional, "This girl Qiulin is really a clever ghost. In this way, brother-in-law, didn't you say that the money will be used to buy a shop, or I will help keep an eye on it after I go back these days to see who is going to sell the shop recently. I'll tell you about it later." Now that the eldest sister's family is doing well, Han Dong feels extremely happy for them, from the bottom of his heart.

But their family is doing well now, the business of the workshop is booming, and if they save more money, they will be able to buy real estate in the town one day.At that time, the workshop will not need to rent from others, and will pay the rent that is too expensive.Han showed a very comfortable smile.

After Han Dong left, a few days later, it was New Year's Eve.On this day, Xu's courtyard was much more lively than the New Year's Eve in previous years.

On winter nights, it always gets dark early, and the sky darkens quickly after the meal is only half eaten.Qiuyue lit a kerosene lamp and was turning on the wick inside when she suddenly felt a flickering light outside the house.She opened the door and looked inside, only to feel that the light was getting closer and closer to her house, it seemed that someone was coming to their house.

Sure enough, after only a short while, I heard Mei Xiang's sharp and crisp voice mixed with the sound of wind pouring into the room. "Qiuyue Qiulin, you are not at home, let's come and play, open the door for us!"

Qiuyue put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a mysterious smile: "Just now I saw a light coming towards this side, it turned out to be Mei Xiang!" Hearing the call of her good sister, Qiuyue naturally did not slack off, and hurriedly opened the door and walked into the small courtyard. The barred bamboo fence opened.He smiled and said, "Why did you come here so early? Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat more?" Today is New Year's Eve, and according to the usual practice, relatives are required to stay together and everyone observes the year together.So Mei Xiang and the others came over, and Qiuyue did not expect it.

After opening the door, Mei Xiang led her fourth brother Xu Yang and her second uncle's son Xu Ming into the courtyard.He Xiang, who was behind him, looked at Qiuyue with a smile, and blew out the paper lantern in his hand while saying hello to Qiuyue.

Qiuyue hurriedly yelled at them to enter the house, "Hurry up and enter the house, it's so cold at night." Qiuyue stomped her feet fiercely, and a gust of cold wind rushed towards her face. If she hadn't eaten just now, her stomach was still warm , now it's time for the teeth to fight up and down.Even if she is like this, let alone how many Mei Xiang braved the wind and cold to come here?
As soon as she entered the room, Han looked at the children whose mouths were purple from the cold, and felt distressed all the time.Hurry up and send Qiuyue and Qiusong to the house to bring ginger boiled water.

"Hurry up and drink something, warm your body to get rid of the cold, so that you won't be frozen." Han looked at these children distressedly, and she reached out to touch the melon seeds on Xu Yang Xu Ming's little head. The two babies are about the same age as Qiuhe, and they are also at this innocent age, which is very cute.

"Auntie, hurry up and eat, don't greet us. We have thick skins and have become regular customers of your house. How can we ask you to greet us? Be polite!" Mei Xiang crisply said, smiling When he got up, the two small canine teeth at the corners of his mouth were exposed, which looked very childish, which made people like him from the bottom of his heart.

Mrs. Han frowned, but her face was full of smiles, "This silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Auntie is happy if you can come, so why are you so cheeky? Auntie likes you to come to auntie's house, you It's very lively at home." The Han family is kind and likes children, so naturally she doesn't object to Mei Xiang and the others coming over to play often, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Mei Xiang smiled happily, "Hee hee, I get it, it's enough if you have an aunt. But you really don't need to greet us, we are so old, we don't know how to do it ourselves when we are thirsty and tired?"

Mei Xiang's few words made everyone in the room laugh. Qiu Song, who was eating food calmly, looked up slowly amidst the laughter, and saw the woman opposite was laughing heartily.Her smile is particularly beautiful, as if every eyebrow is stretched happily, and every part is full of joy.Those two pointed little canine teeth make people feel very cute, and the innocent smile shows the sweetness and shyness unique to girls.

Seeing this, he seemed to be getting out of control, Qiu Song suddenly felt his heart pounding like a drum, such an unbelievably fast heartbeat can only appear after a long-distance running, why is his heart beating inexplicably now? Are you jumping around?
Everyone was immersed in laughter and laughter, and no one noticed the changes in Qiu Song's emotions and facial expressions.Qiu Song was stunned for a while, then quickly lowered his head as if nothing had happened, and ruthlessly pawed at the rice.But the scenes played back in his mind were all of Mei Xiang's innocent smile just now, which made his mind extremely hot.

Qiuyue walked quickly into the stove room, and after a while she came out with a big bowl in her hand. "Come on, come over quickly and eat the small dried fish. It's just fried and it's still hot. You can eat it as a snack. It's delicious and crispy!"

When Qiuyue called out like this, Xu Yang and Xu Ming were already greedy.Xu Yang was taken aback, but he didn't dare to take it. Xu Ming and Qiuyue were very familiar, so naturally he wasn't afraid at the moment. Sweetly said: "Thank you sister Qiuyue."

Xu Ming moved his hand, and Xu Yang felt relieved, and stretched out his hand to catch the small dried fish.Previously, Xu Yang stayed in the school and saw Qiuyue and the others only a few times. Compared with Xu Ming, Xu Yang naturally felt a little alienated and embarrassed.He caught the small dried fish, his little face was already flushed, and he said softly, "Thank you sister Qiuyue."

Qiuyue laughed loudly, "Oh, you two, stop thanking each other like this, eat it quickly, it's delicious while it's hot. You can eat a little lotus and plum fragrance, too, it's delicious!"

He Xiang and Mei Xiang nodded repeatedly, Mei Xiang grabbed a handful of small dried fish, and suddenly felt a strong gaze on her.The source of this line of sight belongs to Qiu Song, Qiuyue's second younger brother.Mei Xiang was a little taken aback, probably because her appearance was too unrestrained, which frightened the young man into a stupor.Mei Xiang's face quickly turned red, she narrowed her watery eyes, not daring to look at the young man across from her again.Bowing her head down, Balabala ate the small dried fish, but now she didn't dare to talk and laugh like before, and just ate the small dried fish, she looked a bit ladylike.

After eating and clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, everyone sat by the fire and made a big circle around the fire.The fire in the stove was burning brightly, and it was glowing brightly, reflecting the faces of the people, casting strange shadows.Everyone was talking and laughing together, the girls sat next to each other, and the boys sat next to each other.The female dolls chatted casually, and the male dolls gathered together to talk about their games.In such a situation, Xu Nanshan and Han Shi couldn't get in the way, and the two sat together and chatted.The atmosphere in the room was harmonious and happy, full of laughter and laughter.

The little fox raised by Shen Qingtuo Qiulin is now white and fat. It walks around the house wagging a beautiful tail when it is full of food and drink.It walked extremely slowly, if not for its fat body, it would have been somewhat graceful.The little fox looked at the people gathered together to enjoy the fire, and jumped up and down for a while, but no one paid attention to it. The little fox felt bored, wagging his tail, and went to his nest up.

Everyone was talking and laughing when they heard a very regular knock on the door.The voice was not in a hurry, it was quite soft, but it was not buried by everyone's laughter.Qiulin stood up and walked towards the door of the main room.Probably the little girl in the village saw them lively here again, so she came to play with them again.Qiulin happily pulled out the latch, and with a "squeak", the wooden door opened.

I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing outside, his handsome facial features were particularly soft in the black color.His deep, dark eyes looked particularly bright in the dark night.

Qiu Lin was stunned for a moment, then revealed an extremely joyful smile, and said excitedly, "Brother Xia Yan, why are you here?" Qiu Lin never expected that the person standing outside the house was actually Xia Yan.I want to send him out of Luoshui Village that day, and it has been many days since I disappeared.

Seeing the happy smile on his longing face, Xia Yan felt as if he had eaten honey.He stretched out his hand and rubbed the broken hair on Qiulin's forehead, his deep voice was pampered. "Little girl, long time no see."
