After Zhou sent Jiang, Lian Man'er's family was not in a hurry to go to the old house. With Zhou's temper, she was able to send someone to give gifts, which shows how anxious she was about what she asked for. If it were someone else, Lian Man'er would be very willing to be anxious. However, she could not do this for Zhou.

Because if she did that, Zhou would not only not be grateful, but the result would also be counterproductive.

For two days, Lian Man'er was busy with her own affairs. Until the third day, Zhou could not help but send Lian Jizu to urge him. Lian Man'er nodded.

Zhang stayed at home and did not go. Although Jiang brought a message and said that he wanted Zhang and Lian Shouxin to go there, everyone understood that it was just what Jiang said in order to fully understand the son and etiquette. Zhou would not ask Zhang to go to the old house.

Zhang now has an imperial decree, and now his two sons are promising again, and are better than Zhou in every aspect. Zhou doesn’t mean to see Zhang, she will be upset whenever she thinks of Zhang. She will not ask Zhang to poke her eyes. If you follow Zhou’s wishes and even keep your trust and go to the old house alone, that would be the best.

In Zhou, he still talks to his son and makes the most sense of demand. No one else owes her, but even keeps her trustworthy, she owes her in this life. Moreover, even her trustworthy personality, Zhou always thinks that she can hold on. Of course, she has to be able to escape the influence of Zhang and those children.

Xiaoqi didn't go because he was going to school. Only Lian Shouxin, Goro and Lian Man'er brought people to the old house.

This time they came not only because Zhou sent someone to call them. Because in a few days, the family was going to the city and couldn't come back for a while. Before leaving, they planned to come to see Zhou and talk to Zhou. Because when they lived in Sanshiliyingzi, on the first and fifteenth day of each month, they had to come to the old house to see Zhou.

When he approached the old house, Lian Shuxin slowed down. This was not because of his timidity. Lian Shuxin just slowed down. He looked at the old house carefully outside.

Without even the old man's old house, even from the outside, it seems to be very different from the past.

On the east side of the gate, against the courtyard wall, there are tall and neat stacks of firewood. On the west side, there is only a short layer of firewood. Lian Man'er knew that the firewood on the east side was from the old house, and on the west side were from the second house Lian Shouyi's family.

At this time, most of the hard-working farmers had already collected autumn and pulled all the firewood in the fields back home. Of course, there were also a few lazy and sloppy firewood in the fields and were still on the ground and never pulled back. Obviously, Lian Shouyi belonged to the latter.

"Didn't your second uncle say when to go home to pull firewood?" Lian Shouxin asked Lian Jizu, who was accompanying him, and said.

"I didn't say it." Even Jizu replied honestly, "The second uncle has not been at home these days. At the time of harvesting autumn, you are still forcing me to help me. Otherwise, I don't know what happened. Maybe I can sell the food in the field."

Even Shouxin could only shake his head, regretting that iron would not be strong. When farming, he urged him to harvest autumn, and that was the same. He had to pick up firewood at home, and it seemed that he had to take care of it.

There are also those who are not good at doing things at home, but when they live, they don’t just harvest crops during the autumn harvest. They just sell the grain to others in the field with green poles. It is very convenient to sell this way, and of course the price is lower.

One is to do this, one is to be a person who does not do anything, and the other is to be forced to do it because he is eager to use money. The former makes people feel cold, while the latter makes people feel very sad.

"If you live in a yard, please don't let him sell the firewood on the second day. Just this little firewood, in the cold winter, what will they burn? Should they burn you, or will they just take advantage of the warm kang everywhere? It's like this, it's not my own home!" Lian Shouxin walked into the yard and said to Lian Jizu.

"Don't worry, Uncle Fourth, we must be considerate. If you have any problems, I will send a message to Uncle Fourth immediately." Lian Jizu said hurriedly.

Even Shouyi's family has no firewood, so the most convenient thing is to use the old house to go to the house. It is also the most convenient way to use the kang to get the kang.

When I entered the gate of the old house, there were two completely different situations on both sides. On the west side, there were three fat pigs in the pigpen, and the stairs were filled with firewood. The vegetables and vegetables in the garden above had long been tied up, but you could still see the traces of the vegetables and vegetables growing all over the garden. On the east side, there were half a person tall and yellow weeds in the middle. The door of the pigpen was open and it was empty inside, and there was still a large hole on the wall of the pigpen.

When the old man bought this yard, he was very particular about it. Even the pigpen was the best big bluestone. The gap in the east pigpen wall was something Lian Shouyi was tight some time ago, so he opened it and dug out the big bluestone to sell it. After selling it a few pieces, he was stopped by Shangfang and Lian Shouxin.

As for the garden on the pigpen, there are also many traces of weeds.

To be honest, He really grew vegetables in this garden, but after planting it, he didn't water it much, pulled out weeds, and ended up being half wasted.

Walking along the way, I shook my head uncontrollably.

Even Shouyi and the He family are not people who live a life. Even if there is one of them who is reliable, their lives will not be as they are now.

In the eyes of the merchants, poverty is not terrible or shameful. Everyone's lives are similar. The merchants' most dislike is laziness and not living a life. Lian Shouyi and He are the ones who despise the most - idle, not doing their jobs, and wasting land.

When he walked to the yard, he stopped again.

He first looked at the west wing room. There is still no one living in the west wing room, but it is fine to clean it up, and there is Zhou's coffin inside and some miscellaneous items. Zhou's coffin is not empty, but is used to store grain. Because the coffin is made of good wood, the grain is not afraid of deterioration, and it is very convenient to use.

Because I have lived here for many years, Lian Shuxin couldn't help but look at it for a while. Lian Man'er and Goro also stood down. The brother and sister could understand Lian Shuxin's mood at this moment. When they looked at the west wing, they couldn't help but think of the years they had spent here.

Lian Shuxin’s feelings for this place are incomparable to their brothers and sisters. In the words of Lian Shuxin, although the days here were once very hard and there were a lot of pain and unhappiness, but...

"You guys are all born in this room..."

The joy of wedding, then the birth of a few children, grew up slowly from little bits of meat dumplings, from learning to being able to speak and laugh..., all of which once brought endless fun to keeping one's trustworthy.

Thinking of this, it is not difficult to understand even Shouxin’s feelings for this place.

After seeing the west wing, I looked at the east wing.

In the east wing, there was a silence. Although there were people living there, they were deserted and as if they were not living there. Lian Ya'er now lives in the upper room, and Liulang comes back every night, but he always goes to Lian Shuxin during the day.

The only people who live in the east wing are Lian Shouyi and He.

"Where do you?" Lian Shouxin asked.

"Uncle second is not home, and second aunt goes out in the morning and doesn't know where to go." Lian Jizu replied.

Even Shouxin stopped talking after hearing this.

Walking up further, you will reach the door of the upper room.

Lian Yaer was feeding chickens with a can of chicken food. The upper room not only raised three fat pigs, but also raised a group of chickens and ducks. Of course, Zhou was in charge of these things.

No matter what Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu were like, there were Zhou and Jiang, and going to the house was a family that was just a matter of life.

After Shouyi and He went out to live alone, He also raised a group of chickens on a whim. In He's view, raising chickens is easier than farming, and it also makes faster profits than farming. As long as you raise a few months, the chickens can lay eggs and eat eggs. When they are raised during the Chinese New Year, they can also eat delicious chicken.

At the beginning, He was very enthusiastic, but after all, raising chickens was trivial and tiring. Not long after, He was lazy. She was not careful, and the little chickens died one by one, and she became even more discouraged. In the end, there were not a few who survived. Before they could lay eggs, they were greedy Lian Shouyi and killed them to eat meat.

After that, the couple never raised chickens and ducks again.

As for pigs, the couple knew that pigs were not easy to raise. First, the cost was high, and second, the pigs were eaten more, and feeding pigs was more tiring than raising chickens. The couple failed to reach an agreement on who fed the pigs, so they simply stopped raising them. Therefore, the pigpen that belonged to them has been empty until now.

When Lian Yaer saw Lian Shouxin, Lian Man'er and Wulang came. They didn't know how to call someone first, but turned their heads to the upper room and called Zhou.

"My uncle is here."

After that, Lian Ya'er turned around and stood there, calling her fourth uncle, brother and sister timidly.

The people who went up to the room had heard the noise. Lian Shouren and Jiang hurried out with Da Niu Niu and welcomed Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Lian Man'er into the room.

Zhou was still sitting cross-legged on the kang without going downstairs. However, his face was no longer as gloomy as before, but because of the arrival of the three masters of Shouxin, there was a look similar to expectations.

I have greeted Zhou and everyone will sit down.

Zhou took out the small bedding that had been prepared long ago and asked Lian Man'er to sit on the kang. Wuro and Lian Shouxin sat on the underground chair.

Mrs. Jiang brought some peanuts, melon seeds and dates, and brewed hot tea for his three more.

Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Lian Man'er asked Zhou about his family's health and what to eat, and Zhou also answered that it was no longer as sarcastic as before.

In the past two years, Zhou's attitude towards Lian Shouxin's family has greatly improved. In front of Wulang and Lian Man'er, Zhou was always a little restrained, but he was able to say a few common words like ordinary people.

As he spoke, Lian Man'er waited for Zhou to mention the main topic.

"Your third aunt has given you a gift?"

…

I'll give you a second update and ask for pink.
