This is a folk song in the twelfth lunar month, which means that we are going to be busy when we enter the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

23 this day, Yuxi also let white mother and others do the sweet melon sticky. She ate a little herself, left some in the mansion, and sent the others to school. Each child was divided into two.

Tanggua sticky material is enough, plus white mother's craft is also very good, taste very good. Lubai divided two. He was only willing to eat half of them, and put the rest up. Not only does he, but most of the kids do it.

After class in the afternoon, Lu Bai came home. Before he came into the room, he heard the sound inside and went in and cried, "brother, are you back?" Then he got into the low shed. Yes, it's a shed, not a house. Not long after Lubai's father died in the war, their mother sold the house and remarried with her husband's pension. At that time, the two brothers were only nine years old and six years old. The friends of the two brothers' father, who saw that they were poor, built this shed for them. Otherwise, the two brothers didn't even have a place to live.

Lu Zhu saw his brother and said with a smile, "well, I'm back." Lu Zhu is too old to go to school. Since her father died in the war two years ago, and her mother left the two brothers to take his father's pension and remarry, the 9-year-old child seems to have grown up overnight. Later, Lu Zhu found a job in a tavern. Without any salary, he provided three meals. With the help of his father's friends, the two brothers have been struggling to the present.

Lu Bai took out the sugar melon stick in his sleeve, handed it to Lu Zhu, and said, "brother, this is what the school sent today. I ate one, but it's delicious. Have a look." Lu Zhu now works as an errand in a tavern, and he has no salary. At that time, he provided two people

Lu Zhu just did not eat: "you can eat what the school sends." There was a child in the school who came home with food, but he fainted in the school because of hunger. This person refers to Lu Bai. Lu Zhu thought he couldn't finish eating at first, but later he knew the truth and was very angry.

Lu Bai took out half of the sugar melon in his hand and said, "I said yes, I've eaten half of it. Brother, I specially left this for you! "

Lu Zhu just took it over, bit it gently, nodded and said: "delicious." Anyway, it's just an 11 year old.

Lu Bai cracked his mouth and said with a smile, "I can still cheat you. By the way, brother, why did you come back so early today? Is the pub closing By the end of the year, these shops will be closed.

Lu Zhu shook his head and said, "no, it's the owner's business, so he closed the shop early." Lu Zhu now has a salary in the restaurant, which is 160 yuan a month. In addition, Lu Bai has no need to spend money since he went to school, so he can have a good year this year.

Lu Bai nodded and said, "brother, as you said today, I will go back to school on the fourth day of junior high school after school on the 29th afternoon." Yuxi also knows that these children are in a difficult family, so he only gives them four days off.

Lu Zhu nodded and asked, "do you remember what your husband taught you today?" Lu Zhu urged Lu Bai to study hard, and Lu Bai did not live up to his expectations.

Lu Bai squatted down, took a tray of branches and wrote on the sand. This thing is made with reference to the school. The two children have no money, but it only needs to be done by hand. It doesn't cost much. Lubai learned very well. I remember what he taught.

Lu Zhu touched his brother's head and said happily, "study hard and don't waste this rare opportunity."

Lu Baizhong said: "brother, don't worry, I will study hard."

At the same time, Yuxi is also talking to Hao Dazhuang about the children in the school: "these children have been in school for more than a month. Have they ever performed particularly well?"

Hao Dazhuang nodded and said, "yes, there are some children who are very smart. They can learn martial arts very well when they listen to what the teacher says."

Yuxi said, "Mr. rang and some teachers will write down the names of the children who are good at learning and have a serious attitude, and then give them to me." It's not enough just to read, read and practice martial arts, but also to have good character. Although it will change when you grow up, the probability lies in a few.

Hao Dazhuang didn't understand and asked, "madam, are you going to reward them?" It's also thanks to the last time. That's what he said.

Yuxi nodded and said, "yes! We must choose according to the children's grades, not according to their own preferences, remember? " After these children are selected, they must go through the examination. After the assessment, she will focus on training these children.

Hao Dazhuang nodded and said, "OK, I'll tell them when I go back."

Yu Xi'en said with a voice: "this matter is only known by Mr. Wang and several masters. Don't tell anyone about it." Before things are done, Yuxi doesn't want to let the news out.

Hao Dazhuang is now very convinced of Yuxi, not a word: "madam, don't worry, I promise they won't say a word."

Huo Changqing and Yunqing come back from the barracks, looking at everyone in the mansion busy, don't listen, asked: "what is this doing?"

The guard said, "my wife has ordered me to clean up the mansion, even if there is no dust in a corner." It's hard for them old men. But it's hard to leave the work in the outer courtyard to those servant girls! So, we have to do it ourselves.

Huo Changqing and cloud engine said: "married daughter-in-law is not the same, this all feel the flavor of the year." Like a few years ago, Chinese New Year is also cold and quiet, there is no taste at all. This year is different. The atmosphere in this mansion is different.

Cloud Qing listened to this words to say: "Huo Shu, that you also find a! Others do not say, at least a person who knows the cold and the heat. " Huo Chang is not very young, and he is only in his early 40s this year. Before he got married, he also felt that having a wife and children was a burden, but only after he got married did he know that this was the only way to live.

Huo Changqing shook his head and said: "a person, pure."

Cloud Qing thought for a moment, said: "Uncle Huo, if you want to accept Yan's! This Yan's appearance is also good, listen to jade Xi say also quite peaceful Yan Yiyi begins to want to win the pity of Yunqing, but Yunqing doesn't look her in the eye, which makes her frustrated. It wasn't long before he realized that Yuxi wasn't a soft hearted man, so he honestly shrunk. She was worried that she would be too happy to die. In this regard, Yuxi is more satisfied, but her identity is special, and it is not easy to get married, so she has been put on hold.

Huo Changqing pause for a moment, or shake his head: "half a body buried in the earth, what concubine also accept!"

Cloud Qing sees this, say: "what call half body buries in the earth, Huo uncle you are still young!" Seeing Huo Changqing still shaking his head, Yunqing said: "Uncle Huo, it's settled. I'll go and talk to Yuxi now." With that, he walked quickly to the backyard.

Yuxi is looking at the account book. Seeing Yunqing coming back, he stands up and says with a smile: "it's just noon. How can he come back? I know the house is going to be cleaned today. Will you come back to help me

Cloud Qing raises a voice to say: "have what matter, madam although command."

As soon as he saw it, Yuxi knew there was something good and asked, "what's the good news? So happy? " She seldom sees cloud Qing so happy, pour some curiosity is what matter!

Cloud Qing said: "I want Yan Yiyi to serve uncle Huo. You can find a chance to tell her!" Now that someone has given it to him, he has the right to deal with it. Let Yuxi said, not with Yan Yiyi to discuss, but inform her.

Yu Xi was startled and asked, "Uncle Huo has a crush on Yan Yiyi?" I didn't expect that Huo Changqing was a good beauty.

Yun Qing immediately shook his head and said, "no, it's what I mean. Uncle Huo was alone, and there was no one around him. Don't you think Yan Yiyi is still responsible? I think it's good to let her serve uncle Huo. "

As long as Yunqing doesn't want to take concubines, Yuxi is sure to have no problem. Moreover, uncle Huo accepted Yan Yiyi, which made her feel at ease. This family put such a big beauty, in case cloud engine can't help temptation for a while! Although Yuxi also knew that this kind of probability is very small, pitifully small, but it still exists. At this point, Yuxi is also very careful: "this is your hair shaving pick a hot, or uncle Huo has agreed?"

Cloud Qing smiles very happily: "Huo Shu didn't refuse, this matter you go to arrange now." If he doesn't refuse, he will agree. He will strike while the iron is hot.

Yuxi understood the meaning of cloud engine, this is to let Yan Yiyi go to serve Huo Changqing tonight. Yuxi shook his head and said, "it's not proper for you to do this. Let me tell her first, and then put two tables of wine on the table." Seeing that Yunqing hesitated, Yuxi said, "this is to find a woman who knows the cold and the heat for uncle Huo, not a woman who warms the bed. How can the rest of the people in the residence think and think about it? How could she serve uncle Huo with all her heart? If you put the wine in, you'll be able to set your name. She'll be calm and steady. Naturally, she'll devote herself to Uncle Huo. " Through this period of observation, Yuxi also saw that Yan Yiyi was thoughtful, but he was also aware of current affairs. Put two tables of wine, after Ming Road, she must also wholeheartedly live with Huo Changqing.

Cloud Qing thinks to accept a concubine, is not to marry, where need so troublesome. However, after listening to Yuxi's words, he felt that there were two reasons for this. Moreover, it's also a small matter. There's no need to argue. Then he nodded and said, "since you think it's good, you'll tell her later. In the evening, you can set up a few tables of wine and let her serve uncle Huo."

Yuxi some doubt: "so urgent to do what?" It seems that if you miss today, tomorrow will not be.

Cloud Qing also does not hide jade Xi, say: "I am afraid tomorrow Huo uncle again not to agree, so this matter or first settle down again."

Yuxi was amused. Since Huo Changqing agreed, how could he repent? It's not that caring is chaotic: "Cheng, I'll let people call Yan now."
