"Come on, put on the clothes."

Xiao Shishi took it over and looked at it, and praised.

"Uncle Xiaozhu, you sew really well. Originally, Uncle Liang also wanted to sew for me, but later he thought he must sew ugly, and he said that he would ask the third grandmother to sew for me in a few days."

Zhang Qingzhu said cheerfully.

"It is nothing. My mother is amazing. You can easily sew a flower when you mend your clothes, which is very beautiful." He opened his coat and showed them the rusty flower on the arm of his padded jacket. "This is a plum blossom, isn't it beautiful?"

Xiao Shitou reached out and touched the embroidery, "It's beautiful, really awesome!"

Liang Han also looked at it, a plum blossom that looked very bright red, covered the patch very well, smiled and praised the future mother-in-law. "Your mother is really ingenious."

Zhang Qingzhu proudly said.

"That is, my mother is famous for her embroidery work. My sister-in-law was taught by my mother. It has always been a pity that my mother did not have a girl to inherit her craftsmanship."

Liang Han asked with a smile.

"Then why didn't you? Learn from your mother well, so that I can enjoy it in the future."

Little Shi wondered, "Can boys learn embroidery too?"

Liang Han explained to him. "Of course, there are some very powerful embroidery masters who are male."

Zhang Qingzhu took a piece of walnut to eat."My mother wanted me to follow along, but I couldn't sit still. I think it would be good to be able to sew and mend, and embroidery is not necessary. I don't want to learn anymore."

Liang Han immediately flattered. "It's amazing to be able to sew and mend. Look at me, I can't even sew clothes, let alone make clothes ."

Xiao Shi, who was dressed, followed suit.

He praised. "Yes, yes, Uncle Xiaozhu, you are already very powerful. You are more powerful than Uncle Liang."

Liang Han wanted to say something else , the voice of a child came from outside.

"Xiao Shi - Xiao Shi, are you at home?"

"Xiao Shi - we're here to play with you..."

Xiao Shi quickly responded when he heard a familiar voice. "I'm at home."

Then he looked at Liang Han, Uncle Liang said not to go out to play in the cold today.

Seeing this, Liang Han said, "Let's go out and have a look. If you want to play, go out with them."

Xiao Shishi got out of bed happily. Liang Han stopped him and packed him some snacks, "Have fun, don't fight. If anyone doesn't like you, just ignore him."

"Oh, I see." With the snacks, Xiao Shi was happy run out.

There were three children outside the door, and they were the children who played with him these days.

Maizi and the others saw that Xiao Shishi did not come to play with them, and a few people discussed coming to him.

Just the thought of him living in Liang Han's house made several children hesitate.

After all, Liang Han's name was so loud that his family told them to hide.

In their young minds, Liang Han is like a big devil, who may be beaten up close, and what is even more frightening is that he may be infected and become a bad person.

After they learned that Xiao Shishi lived in Liang Han's house, they didn't want to play with Xiao Shishi.

But Xiao Shi have a lot to eat, and they will be generously distributed to them.

And Xiao Shi doesn't look older than them, and it doesn't look scary. So they continued to play with him.

Today, they also relied on their courage to come outside Liang Han's yard, and they were three relatively courageous children, but they only dared to call out Xiao Shi from outside the gate.

Liang Han didn't know, his snack policy was a really good idea.

Similarly, if he knew that he was like a pathogen in the minds of children, he wonder if he would shed tears.

Seeing that Xiao Shishi came out, Maizi happily said to him, "The ice in the river is so thick that Xiao Pei made an ice sled. We are all going to go skating on the river. Would you like to go?"

Xiao Shi was hesitant. "Uncle Liang said the river is not safe."

Little Egg said indifferently. "Don't be afraid, we have tried it, and the ice is very solid. Xiao Pei and the others are playing on the river. Xiao Pei promised to let us take turns on the sleigh, will you go? Not with us Let 's go first."

Xiao Shishi hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but play, and quickly said. "I'll go, I'll play too."

He thought to himself, since there are so many people playing, it must be safe.

Uncle Liang won't blame him if he knows.

The two in the house did not know that the children were planning to go ice skating in the river.

After waiting for a while, Liang Han saw that Xiao Shi didn't come back, so he got out of bed and went outside to take a look.

There was no trace of the child, so he came back and sighed with Zhang Qingzhu. "The children are still very energetic, and the weather can't stop them from going out to play."

"That is, who didn't do this when they were young." The quilt, while saying, "I liked snowy days when I was a child, I could go out to play in the snow, and I could also play ice skating. There were also ice skating on the eaves, my brother and I would beat them down with wooden sticks and eat them. My mother doesn't let us eat it, because she is afraid of eating bad stomachs, so I'll eat it secretly with my seventh brother."

Sitting in the bed, Zhang Qingzhu felt extremely warm. "I don't like winter so much when I grow up. The clothes are not warm, it's too cold. I don't want to go out at all."

Liang Han understood that Zhang Qingzhu's family was barely able to do it when he was a child, but after his father fell ill, the family's situation plummeted.

No one likes winter if you don't have enough to eat and don't keep warm.

Liang Han made a quilt next to him. "I also like winter, but I don't like going out, so I feel very happy to be able to sleep in a warm quilt. It's even better if I don't go to work, I can stay in the quilt all the time. You don't need to get up."

Zhang Qingzhu was curious. "What is going to work? What do you do at work?"

Realizing that he had leaked his tongue, Liang Han hurriedly changed the subject and said, "It's nothing. Come on, eat melon seeds. I've cooked them, and they are more fragrant than raw ones. It 's over."

Zhang Qingzhu took some melon seeds and ate, "You really enjoy it."

"Of course I have to treat you well when you are here." Liang Han asked him, "You paid me all the money, what about your brothers? Didn't you say that your sixth brother likes Miss Cuicui, what do they have? Are you planning?"

Zhang Qingzhu was a little worried after thinking about it.

"I don't know, they should have a plan. I saw my mother call the sixth brother to speak alone today, it should be related to the marriage. I don't know if there is enough money at home. Marry the sixth brother."

"Your family should have saved some money, right?"

After all, so many brothers are not all idle at home, they should also do some odd jobs.

"It should be." Zhang Qingzhu thought about it, and then said, "My fifth brother has a good woodworking business this year. He has helped the village with a few dowries, and he has also worked in the city a few times. My brother and the others also made some money pulling carts. But my father will need to take medicine after winter, so I don't know how much left."

Liang Han knew that Zhang Qingshui was a carpenter, and he heard that he did a good job.

As for Zhang Qingzhu's donkey cart, it was used to help people pull goods.

Running between several towns, it's hard work and he can't make much money.

It's completely hard work.

However, since there are many brothers in his family, it is better to take turns.

Zhang Qingzhu said with a worried look.

"My father has been coughing so badly recently that he didn't want to go to see the doctor, so he just kept going. I really can't do anything about him."

"I know he is afraid of spending money, but It's not the way to endure it like this. He can't sleep well at night with such a cough, and his scomplexion has changed a lot in the past few days."

He thought that he would talk to his father after he went back and ask him to see a doctor.

Liang Han was also very emotional after hearing this.

The most fearful thing for people to be poor is to get sick.

He had heard too much about being ill and enduring hardships.

Thinking of the situation of the Zhang family, the reason why it was so hard was because of Father Zhang's illness.

Father Zhang is a medicine jar, and he needs medicine to support him.

You can't be tired, you can't get angry, you have to take care of yourself.

It is said that the family's land also sold a lot because of his illness.

It was because of this that the Zhang family had such a bad life.

Thinking of this, Liang Han had an idea in his heart.

Seeing Liang Han's thoughtful look, Zhang Qingzhu asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing. I just feel that if I give you so much money, your family won't let you ask for it. They are so kind to you."

"That's right, of course my family treats me well."

Zhang Qingzhu was very clear in his heart, and he was very moved, for the sake of that family, let him do anything.

Liang Han continued. "That's right, how lucky you are. But I borrowed you so much money just to help you, but I really don't have any bad intentions towards you. I thought about it, your parents should be afraid I'm afraid you'll make a bad idea. But you really don't have that plan."

After a pause, Liang Han said, "I know you want your brothers to get married and have children quickly, and I really want to help you. I don't have money. Don't say it, now that I have this money, if I don't say anything, how can I say that I really care about you."

"I know." Zhang Qingzhu also frowned, "But my mother won't let you stay. They have concerns, and I can't ignore them too much, it will hurt their hearts."

He wanted the money, but just as his seventh brother said, because the money was not happy, the family was unhappy.

It's better not to worry about it.

Liang Han actually liked the feeling that he couldn't even send money, but after all, he really wanted to help.

Mainly to help Zhang Qingzhu relieve his worries.

He took a fancy to others, and he still wanted to marry them.

In his heart, this is his future partner.

If you really don't care about his troubles, then you're not really sincere.

"Isn't your mother afraid that you won't be able to pay it back? Then I'll borrow you less. How about Wu Guan? This money is enough for your family to pay the betrothal gift, so don't be afraid to pay it back."

Zhang Qingzhu hurriedly shook his head.

"No, no. If the money is returned to you, and the money is taken back, my mother will definitely make me kneel."

After thinking about it, he said, "...At least let me go back and discuss with the seventh brother."

Liang Han knew that Zhang Qingzhu's personality was relatively simple , not a shrewd person.

He does things by intuition, and he doesn't like to spend his brains too much.

He relies on the opinions of his brothers for anything.

Especially Zhang Qingfu's opinion.

"Okay, you can go back and discuss it with your seventh brother. I really want to help you, and I really don't have any bad ideas."

"Understood. I didn't write you an IOU, even if you ask me to repay the money, I can do it. Delinquent." Zhang Qingzhu said his attention a little proudly, and didn't care if Liang Hanjie didn't mind.

In his opinion, if he minds, he will not contact Liang Han.

Liang Han joked. "Well, this is a good idea. So you have nothing to worry about."

He didn't believe that the family could really make a bad debt.

Zhang Qingzhu stopped thinking about borrowing money, and felt that this matter should be considered by the smarter seventh brother.

Then he asked Liang Han curiously. "Liang ruffian, how do you plan to spend so much money?"

Liang Han said his plan, "First buy a cow next year, and after the spring ploughing is over, then renovate the house, at least as much as possible. The roof is replaced with tiles, so there is no need to worry about rain leakage."

After speaking, he asked the other party with a smile, "Do you think you can marry me next year? If you can, I will not renovate it, and just tear it down and build a new house."

Zhang Qingzhu smashed him with a peanut shell with a smile. "Don't think about it, you can tell by the attitude of my family that it's not that easy. But..."

After hesitating, Zhang Qingzhu said, "However, behave well. I'll wait for you for a year."

He feel that have not honored the previous bet, and he is sorry for Liang Han so much. It is also necessary to give people a chance.

Zhang Qingzhu told himself so.

Liang Han grinned. "Okay, I won't let you down."

He knew that Zhang Qingzhu could say this, indicating that he was not as disgusted with himself as before.

Moreover, it seems that subconsciously, it is okay to live with himself.

Seeing Liang Han's silly smile, Zhang Qingzhu thought it was a little annoying.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Of course I'm happy to laugh." Liang Han knew that he was not thicker than himself, so he didn't continue to dwell on this topic, "Today I'm happy, let's eat hot pot at noon."

"Hot pot?" Zhang Qingzhu was curious, "What kind of hot pot?"

Thinking that this is not the case, Liang Han explained.

"It's just to eat shabu-shabu. I bought a small iron pot a few days ago. I also made an iron frame, and I just tried it today."

"Eat shabu-shabu." Zhang Qingzhu naturally knew that it was very comfortable to cook and eat together in winter, "What can you eat in your house?"

There aren't many things to boil and eat in winter.

"There are cabbage radishes, mushrooms and fungus, as well as tofu and dried bean curd that I made a while ago, as well as vermicelli and dried vegetables."

Although such a side dish is really not enough to look at when eating hot pot, there is nothing to be picky about here.

It might even be considered pretty good.

"Let's make the base soup with chicken soup. I'll go to the village to buy a chicken, and I'll buy some eggs by the way."

Because there is a child at home, the eggs are eaten every day, and all the ones bought a few days ago have been eaten up.

"Well, you decide. But you should raise some chickens to lay eggs next year. Even if you don't sell them, you can eat them yourself. You can kill them to add vegetables after the Chinese New Year." Zhang Qingzhu suggested.

"It's a good idea." Although he said that, Liang Han didn't really decide to raise him.

If you think you want to eat, you can just buy it from the villagers.

It's not too expensive or convenient, so you don't need to raise it yourself.

Liang Han felt that it was not too early.

After all, it was time-consuming to cook chicken soup, so he decided to go to the village to buy chicken.

"I'm going to buy chicken, you stay here first, I'll be back soon."

Zhang Qingzhu waved his hand: "Go Let's go."

As for Liang Han's extravagant need to eat meat, anyway, the other party is rich, and it's not a big deal to spend occasionally... And... it seems to be for myself.

So, he decided not to say anything, he didn't give him the title, no matter how much he was!

Liang Han carried the basket out of the yard and walked to the village.

He was going to the nearest place to buy eggs.

Speaking of which, people in the village seldom go out to buy things except for oil and salt.

The cloth can be woven and the clothes can be made by themselves.

Food and clothing are also particularly economical.

If the villagers can produce their own salt, they will be completely self-sufficient.

Of course, if you eat eggs, you have to buy them from the villagers.

When he came to the gate of a family's courtyard, the family had no courtyard walls, but a fenced courtyard.

The door was open, but Liang Han didn't rush in.

"Is Aunt Zhang at home?"

After a while, an elderly woman came out of the house.

"Here. Liang Han, are you here?"

"I want to buy a chicken from you, and I also want to buy some eggs."

When Liang Han was about to buy eggs from the village, he carefully thought about which people the original owner did not directly offend.

After some exclusions, he chose Aunt Zhang's family, because her family raised more than ten hens.

Moreover, in addition to the fact that the original owner did not directly offend the family, he also wanted to help the family by the way.

Aunt Zhang is a widowed mother with three older sons, and the hard work among them can be imagined.

It wasn't until the three sons grew up that life was easier.

But still the poor in the village.

Although everyone is poor.

When Aunt Zhang heard that Liang Han was here to buy something again, she smiled and said, "Okay, there are chickens and eggs. How many eggs do you plan to buy?"

Because hens don't like to lay eggs much in winter, eggs are more expensive than usual, three cents for two. "Twenty eggs."

As for chickens, all he could buy was roosters.

Villagers who can lay eggs are reluctant to sell them.

Only old hens who no longer lay eggs will be kept and sold to mothers who have given birth to children.

Only roosters are raised for Chinese New Year and festivals.

"Okay, I'll go catch chickens for you." Aunt Zhang was very happy that Liang Han bought eggs from her.

It would save her a lot of trouble to sell things outside the village, and the price was not lower than in the city.

What's more, she went into the city to sell eggs, and she had to pay a lot of money to pay the booth tax.

If you sell it in the village, you will save money directly.

When Aunt Zhang went to catch the chicken, Gao Yongfu and Liang Wenqing walked over here talking and laughing.

Gao Yongfu saw Liang Han standing in his yard from a distance.

Although their brothers have no grudges against Liang Han, there are really few people in the village who like Liang Han.

After all, this person is too thick-skinned and likes to take advantage.

However, because he knew that Liang Han came to his house to buy eggs, Gao Yongfu was not worried that his family would find fault with Liang Han.

Liang Han looked at the two people who came to the gate of the courtyard.

He knew that the taller man was Gao Yongfu, the youngest son of Aunt Wang.

As for the one beside him...

"Cousin." Liang Wenqing greeted in a low voice.

Liang Han greeted with a smile.

"Wenqing, are you going home?"

He remembered that this was the youngest son of his uncle's family.
