Probably in this life, Chen Xiaohu will never be as gorgeous as he saw at this moment.

The mud house has thatch, the yard is full of messy firewood, and the clothes on the clothesline are still dripping with water.

An old hen was running around the yard with a group of newly hatched chicks.

The girl is sitting under the sunny eaves, with black hair like ink, plain clothes and a long skirt. The wind blows under her feet, and the skirt is slightly rippling like water waves.

She seemed to have come from the fairy palace, and came here because she could not bear to see the suffering in the world.

It is also like the lotus blooming in the mud in midsummer, standing gracefully and gracefully.

He has always known that his sister is good-looking. Everyone has praised her for her beauty since childhood.

Since the separation, he has never seen his sister look good again.

Now, she is sitting under the simple eaves, like the first flower blooming in spring, which is unexpected and surprising.

"Brother Little Tiger."

Lu Shege stood up and came forward with a smile, "I heard General Zhou say you were here, so I came here to find you."

Facing the flowery smile, Chen Xiaohu blushed and nodded to Zhou Yang, then grinned at Lu Xiange: "Sister, here I am. I just heard that you came to Nanyang yesterday, and you said that you sold fish for money today.

I'm going to find you."

"Why do you have to sell the fish for money before you go to me?"

Lu Xiangge said with some dissatisfaction, "Don't you have money, so you can't find me?"

Chen Xiaohu was asked by Lu Sheige and couldn't help scratching his head and laughing.

It's not that he can't find his sister, it's just that he habitually feels that if he sees his sister, he has to treat her to a meal. Not only does he have to eat and drink well, but he has to treat her to a bowl of noodles with meat.

It's just that he is too poor now, and he finally saved some money. Last month, Mouse broke his leg again, and the hundred and ten cents he saved was spent again.

Fortunately, my sister was not someone else. Chen Xiaohu did not hide anything and simply took out the sixteen cents he had just earned from selling fish in his pocket and said: "I haven't sold all the fish today, and I only have sixteen cents on me. I can't treat you to something delicious."

, but I still have the money to treat you to two sesame seed cakes."

It was not that Lu Xiangge had never experienced poverty before, but this was the first time she had seen Chen Xiaohu be so open about poverty.

Seeing him stretching out his hand and openly exposing the sixteen copper coins that still smelled like fish, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed: "It's so much money. I don't want to eat sesame cakes. Brother Xiaohu, please buy me skewers of candied haws."

.”

"Okay." Chen Xiaohu showed a knowing smile, "Then, I will only buy one bunch. The remaining money will be used to buy some rice for Zhou Quan and the others."

Zhou Quan was so panicked that he moved his hands wildly: "No... no... no need, buy food for my cousin. We won't starve to death even if we don't eat one or two meals."

These words.

The young man standing behind Zhou Quan hurriedly hit Zhou Quan with his elbow and whispered: "Why are you talking?"

"I...I..."

Zhou Quan seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly added, "It's... it's not that I'm hungry, it's not that I won't die of hunger."

Hey...

It’s better not to explain!

The smile on Lu Sheige's face grew bigger and bigger, and finally she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Brother Xiaohu, I only need three pennies to buy a candied haws, will it not affect your meal?"

………………

"Brother Xiaohu, is the candied haws of apples delicious?"

"Brother Xiaohu, I don't eat candied haws on a stick, I just watch them eat it."

"Brother Xiaohu, do you have three cents in your new year's money? Three cents is enough to buy candied haws!"

"Brother Little Tiger..."

"Brother Xiaohu......"

Lu Shege's words reminded Chen Xiaohu of his childhood.

Starting from the first New Year in Lujiazhuang, their uncle and aunt would give them lucky money on New Year's Eve. Even the two elder brothers of the Lu family felt that they were elder brothers and insisted on giving him and Sheige a red envelope each.

In fact, the New Year's red envelope contains only one copper coin, just for good luck.

But for Chen Xiaohu, who was still very young at the time, four copper coins were a huge sum of money.

One penny can buy two pieces of sweet brown sugar, two penny can buy a fragrant sesame seed cake, a white-flour meat bun...

Chen Xiaohu received four cents of lucky money and thought about their uses countless times.

Four essays in one year, eight essays in two years, twelve essays in three years...

He can save money to buy silk thread for his mother, and he can also save money to buy his father a knife that can cut iron like clay. He can also save money to buy himself a bow and arrow, so that when he grows up, he and his father can go hunting in the mountains.

On the first New Year's Day in Lujiazhuang, Chen Xiaohu spent four cents to buy the largest bunch of candied haws for his youngest sister Lu Sheige.

On weekdays, a bunch of candied haws cost three cents, but they always cost one cent more during the New Year.

Chen Xiaohu was actually reluctant to part with it, but his sister liked it. No matter how reluctant he was to part with it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy it.

In this way, I received lucky money every year. Just after receiving the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, my sister dragged me to buy candied haws.

As for my sister's New Year's money, she was reluctant to use it at first, so she saved it all and put it in a box. After the New Year, she would take it out and count it in front of him.

As he counted the coins in the box, Xiang Ge lent them to him under various excuses.

For example, if his sister wants to eat sesame cakes and he has no money, he can ask his sister to borrow his memory.

Buy a piece of sesame seed cake, you eat half and I share half. My sister eats half of the bigger one, and he eats the smaller half.

For example, if my sister wants to eat brown sugar, I lend him money to buy it. I buy two pieces. My sister will eat the larger piece, and he will eat the slightly smaller piece.

"Okay."

Lu Xiaohu generously counted out three copper coins and threw the remaining thirteen coins to Zhou Sheng: "There are still fish that have not been sold out. When the monkeys come back, you use the money to buy rice. I will take my sister to the street."

Go buy candied haws on a stick."

Zhou Sheng also didn't expect that this beautiful girl was actually Xiaohu's sister.

At this moment, his mind was very confused, and he was trying to remember, had he ever said anything excessive to this delicate and pretty sister?

After taking the money, he didn't even realize that Chen Xiaohu and his sister were gone.

Zhou Yang sat upright on his chair, watching Lu Shengge and Chen Xiaohu talking, and watching the two of them walking side by side towards the city.

Two people are so close, and that kind of tacit understanding can only come from growing up together.

Looking at the two people walking away, it seems that I can see a pair of children wearing red coats holding hands and going to the street to buy candied haws and eat them more than ten years ago.

Zhou Yang seemed to have been completely forgotten by Lu Sheige.

Lu Sheige didn't even turn around to say hello or give him any instructions, and just left without looking back.

Sihai waited for a long time, but Zhou Yang didn't get up, so he could only step forward silently and pick up the silver wine pot that Lu Sheige had dropped and the two cups that she had specially prepared.

"master."

Zhou Yang touched his nose and chuckled. Then his eyes fell on the wine bottle in Sihai's hand. He reached out to take it and solemnly stuffed it into his sleeve pocket: "Let's go back to Beijing."

There was no point in staying here. Lu Sheige might think that he was a pretty good person, but he was not good enough for her to marry him.

Since you have found nothing, let's go back to the capital and ask the emperor if he can continue to the border.

Zhou Yang was looking at Lu Xiangge, and Lu Xiangge was looking at the road ahead which was getting wider and smoother.
