Chapter 204 Ice Truck

Second update, please pink.

…………***………………

Lian Man'er didn't know how Mr. Lian negotiated with the Zhao family. The final result was that the chef would hold the banquet, but it would have to be placed in the town house.

It seems that both sides took a step back. There seems to be no difference between placing wine in the village and placing wine in the house in the town, except that even the family has to run around and it is a little more troublesome.

The wedding day is set on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the whole family is busy.

The project on the mountain has not yet been stopped, and Man'er's breakfast shop is open as usual every day. Even Man'er also goes to help and settle the accounts every day. After finishing the work in the shop, the family either returns to the old house or goes to the town to help Erlang prepare for the marriage.

There are endless people in the old house every day, and the villagers and relatives and friends from all over the world come to receive gifts one after another. People in the countryside believe that marrying a wife is a more important and more grand event than marrying a daughter, so there are many more people coming than adding boxes to Lianhua'er.

Children like this kind of occasion the most. First, it is lively, and second, the host family must prepare some sugar, melon seeds, peanuts and so on. These snacks that seem very common in later generations are expensive in rural areas where supplies are relatively poor and frugal life.

There is also an interesting and unwritten statement from rural people. These melon seeds and peanuts are for watching the discs. Most visitors don’t know how to eat them, but they just want to eat them. This is because they are mutually sympathetic and save money.

However, since it is put on, it will always be a little exhausting. Children take advantage of the fact that adults are not paying attention to it and grab a handful of food. This is often the case. In such a festive atmosphere, as long as it is not too much, the adults at home will not be angry or scolded seriously.

The crowds are crowded and there is food, which attracts many children from the village who wander around the Lian family all day long. Of course, including the Lian family's own children.

Lian Man'er was a little uncomfortable at first, but gradually fell in love with this festive and lively atmosphere.

Life passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month. Far away guests who needed to stay at Lianjia for one night arrived one after another. Of course, people from the Zhang family came. This time it was Zhang Qingnian, and the Wang couple and Zhang Caiyun also came with him.

Zhang Qingshan and the old couple of Li did not come. But they were worried about their daughter, but their grandson's heart came. Zhang Qingnian brought a lot of things to come.

A basket of frozen pears, a basket of stuffy and rotten, a scent of Balixiang, a basket of red dates, a basket of hawthorns, a bunch of dried mushrooms, a pack of dry fungus, and two old hens with legs and wings tied up.

The old hen has been raised for more than three years and no longer lay eggs. It is the most nourishing thing for making soup. The old couple is still worried about Zhang's body and nourish her.

Even Shouxin felt a little sorry.

"Why do you always use these old things?" Lian Shouxin said honestly. "We are juniors and have not been filial to our father-in-law and mother-in-law. This makes me feel so happy."

Zhang Qingnian laughed, and Wang was quick to speak.

"Brother-in-law, why are you doing so? These are all things at home and there is no need to spend money. My father and mother told me that as long as my sister lives well, it will be better than anything else."

Zhang Qingnian and Lian Shouxin sat on the edge of the kang and chatted about family matters, while Wang and Zhang sat on the kang and chatted even more lively.

"I came here last time. I saw that you were doing well. I finally felt relieved when I got back. It's cold now, Qingnian and I haven't let the old couple go out." Wang said.

"You did the right thing, my father and mother are in good health. At this time of year, I always like to cough. Is this year better?" Zhang said.

"I have also coughed for two days, much younger than I am. I've been better now." Wang reassured Zhang, "I heard that you have opened a shop?"

"Yeah." Speaking of the shop, Zhang became so energetic that he talked to Wang. "... At the beginning, I was unsure. I thought, if I didn't make money, I would shut it down quickly... Thank you for your hard work, maybe you can make money. No matter how hard we work, we are happy... When it's good, we can earn 200 yuan a day."

"Oh, that's much more serious." Wang was happy for Zhang, "I'll go back and tell our parents that our parents must be happy."

Lian Man'er was eating Balixiang next to her and secretly touched her forehead. Zhang was such a person. She was careless and had no intention of being good to others, and she would be kind to others without hiding her own personal feelings, and would say anything.

"Man'er, let's go out to play." Zhang Caiyun said. The girls in the mountains are used to running around the mountains and fields, and their temperament is even more wild. When they came before, Li was next to them. Li loves to be quiet, and Zhang Caiyun is very well-behaved. This time he came with his parents, and Zhang Caiyun's nature was revealed. After sitting in the house for a while, he couldn't sit still.

"Okay, what are you doing?" Lian Man'er thought about it, her eyes lit up, and she whispered in Zhang Caiyun's ears, "Let's find my brother, go and play Bingjie... Don't let my father and mother know."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Caiyun was happy.

"It's so cold outside, you two should stay in the house." Lian Zhi'er smiled, and she heard what Lian Man'er and Zhang Caiyun said.

"Sister, let's go and play for a while, you have to keep it confidential for us." Lian Man'er said hurriedly.

Lianzhier laughed softly.

Lian Man'er and Zhang Caiyun got off the kang with their shoes.

"What are you two doing? You'll have dinner later." Zhang said hurriedly when he saw it.

"Go and ask my brother to come back for dinner." Lian Man'er said, "By the way, let Sister Caiyun see our shop."

"Go and go back quickly, don't play outside." Zhang said.

Lian Man'er and Zhang Caiyun agreed and ran out.

"Where is the fifth brother? Why aren't you at home?" Zhang Caiyun asked while walking.

"My brother is in the shop." Lian Man'er replied, "There are many people in the family these two days, and my brother said it was noisy and he couldn't calm down.

There was no one in the shop, he was writing and studying there himself."

Goro loves reading and cherishes the opportunity to study and write. Whenever he has time, he will hold the book to read. Not only does he love studying so much, he also urges Xiaoqi to learn with him.

"Fifth brother is studying and writing?" Zhang Caiyun opened his eyes wide.

"My brother can write a lot of words. My sister, Xiaoqi, and we all learn to study and write." Lian Man'er told Zhang Caiyun, "Next spring will begin. Our family will also send my brother and Xiaoqi to the school in the town to study. My brother is afraid that he will not be able to keep up by then, and now he can get the money."

When Lian Man'er said this, she raised her foot and kicked a piece of snow on the side of the road away.

"It's a pity that my sister and I can't go, and the school does not accept female students."

Zhang Caiyun was silent for a while.

"Man'er. You have recognized a lot of words, either. I don't know a single big word."

"I recognized it a little, not as much as my brother." Lian Man'er said. The Zhang family has never had a scholar, and he respects scholars very much. But his family is not very good at studying. "Sister Caiyun, if you want to recognize words, I will teach you."

"Okay." Zhang Caiyun giggled. "I'm so stupid."

"Sister Caiyun, don't say that. Otherwise, you can stay at our family and learn to read and study together. You don't know, my mother misses you. When she got angry with us, she said that we were not like her, and that you were like her. She said that she would discuss with her uncle and aunt, and change you to our family and be her biological daughter."

The two of them were talking and laughing. In a short while, they arrived at the entrance of the breakfast shop.

Lian Man'er first walked out of the window of the inner room and knocked on the window.

"Brother, open the door for me. Sister Caiyun and I will come to see you." Lian Man'er shouted.

"Hey, come here." Goro of the room immediately responded.

Goro and Xiaoqi rushed to open the door and let Lian Man'er and Zhang Caiyun into the house.

"This is your breakfast shop. It's really not small, it's clean." Zhang Caiyun said while looking.

"Caiyun sat in the fast house. My uncle just came, who else has come?" asked Goro.

"The uncle and aunt are here, but grandma and grandpa are not here." Lian Man'er said, took out two Halikas and handed them to Goro and Xiaoqi. "My uncle brought us a lot of things, and the frozen pear is just a basket."

A few people walked to the inner room and sat on the kang. They had to burn a lot of firewood every day, and the room was warmer than the one in the old house.

Zhang Caiyun curiously fiddled with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table for a while, and then lost interest.

"Then let's go back. I don't know that my uncle and aunt are coming." Goro packed up the paper and pen and said.

Xiaoqi likes Zhang Qingnian and is even more anxious to go back.

"No, my mother said we'll go back when we have dinner." Lian Man'er made up a lie, "Brother, Xiaoqi, is the ice car you two making hidden here? Take Sister Caiyun to play for a while first."

Zhang Caiyun nodded quickly.

"Yes, let's have a go and let me see what the ice truck you make looks like?"

"Okay, let's have fun first, and we'll go home for dinner." Xiaoqi also said. After all, he is a child, and if there are fun things, he put his favorite uncle behind him.

"Man'er, you've been thinking about the ice car for many days. You've also moved Caiyun out, you just want to play." Wulang glanced at Lian Man'er and said.

Lian Man'er laughed.

"Brother, the ice has long been frozen. It's okay to walk on the carriage. Are you afraid that Sister Caiyun and I will fall into the ice hole?"

Goro touches his forehead.

"All right, stop talking, just take you to play," said Goro.

Lian Man'er and Zhang Caiyun clapped happily.

The so-called ice truck is actually only one and a half feet square. A piece of wooden board on top is made of several wooden strips. On both sides of the wooden strips are two rectangular pieces of wood, next to the ground, and two pieces of iron are inlaid to protrude outside.

The splicing of the wooden boards was made by Lian Shouli. As for the two irons, they found some abandoned iron tools from home, went to the blacksmith shop in the town, and asked the blacksmith to return it to the furnace and mold it.

The ice truck is also equipped with two supporting sticks, one end of the stick is an iron nail.

People either sit, squat, kneel, or stand on the ice car, holding sticks in both hands, and one end of the iron nail is inserted into the ice surface, which is used as a power to drive the ice car to slide forward and quickly.

Don’t look at the rareness of this small ice truck in the eyes of children from rural families, and you will know the gaze of the children playing on the ice.

"Lien Man'er..." A young man and a half rushed over quickly.
