In the morning, Xuan Ge'er gets dressed and goes out. Push open the door to see the sky with snow, and the yard has been covered with a thick layer of snow.

The cold wind came through the crack of the door. Pang Jinglun shivered and said, "close the door quickly." If the cold wind blows on him twice, he will catch a cold.

Xuan Ge'er quickly closed the door: "teacher, the ten loads of firewood bought yesterday is certainly not enough. I'll go to see if there are firewood sellers." It doesn't cost much firewood to cook, but it costs a lot of firewood to warm the Kang.

Pang Jinglun nodded and said, "in addition to firewood and charcoal, I also bought some chicken, duck, fish, rice and noodles. It's 27 today. If you don't buy it, you can't buy it. " Everyone's family is going to celebrate the new year. I'm afraid there will be no one in the market in two days.

Xuan elder brother son some hesitates: "that gets a lot of money!" He didn't want to experience it again. So, he doesn't want to buy chicken, duck and fish. These things are very expensive.

After a meal, Pang Jinglun said, "it's OK. I'm almost cured. After the new year, we'll find a way to make money together. "

Ah San put in a word: "my leg will heal in another half month. By then, I will be able to work and earn money. "

Xuan elder brother son hesitated next, nodded to agree.

The cold wind was blowing on my cheek. It hurt. And the cold air, has been desperately pouring into the clothes. Xuan elder brother son can't help wrapping clothes tightly.

To yesterday's place to buy firewood, see no one Xuan elder brother son some disappointed. But it's normal to think about it. On this cold day, unless there is no cooking pot at home, who will come out to sell firewood.

Turned to leave, the result did not walk a few steps was stopped. Turning around, he saw a man in his twenties. This man is carrying a load of firewood on his shoulder.

That man approaches Xuan elder brother son, ask a way: "this younger brother, do you want to buy firewood?"

Xuan elder brother son nods to say: "want to buy firewood, and more better, don't know whether you still have firewood at home?"

The man nodded: "some, some, do not know how much brother?"

Xuan Ge'er calculated the daily amount of firewood, and then said: "one hundred Dan, do you have it?"

"Yes, yes." With that, the man rubbed his hand and said, "brother, look at the price?"

"How about five Wen for a load?" The firewood he bought yesterday was five Wen a Dan. The firewood usually costs only two to three Wen a load, and it's cold now, so it's going up a lot. However, the quantity he bought is relatively large. Normally, it should be cheaper. However, looking at the man's face and ears were frostbitten, and his hands were cracked, he couldn't bear it, so he didn't bargain.

The man was pleasantly surprised: "good, good, good. I don't know where my brother lives. I'll recognize the door first, and I'll send the firewood later. "

Xuan Ge'er takes people home.

The man put down the firewood and left in a hurry without even asking for money.

When Pang Jinglun heard five Wen and a load of firewood, he said, "why don't you bargain?"

Xuan Ge'er said, "it must be very difficult to sell firewood in such a cold day." That's why he didn't lower the price.

Ah San sighed: "it's not easy!"

Glancing at ah San, Pang Jinglun took out five pieces of silver: "when the people come, you give them to them."

Xuan elder brother son hesitated to say: "wait a moment to come, we give him 100 Wen first, other wait for firewood to send all, we give again!" They live here and they can't run. On the contrary, if the man didn't send firewood, he didn't know where to look.

It's good to learn a lesson if we can learn a lesson. I think the emperor and the queen protected him so well that he didn't know that people were dangerous, so he was so simple.

Ah San said, "young master, I'm with my husband at home. Go shopping for other things."

After buying all the things for the Spring Festival, Xuan Ge'er finds that he has removed half of the money: "this money is really not forbidden."

Pang Jinglun said with a smile: "if you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Now you know that life is not easy, right?"

After hearing this, ah San said on purpose: "young master, it's useless for me to make you suffer. If my wife knows, she'll be very distressed. "

Hearing this, Xuan Ge'er's eyes became red. When I was at home, my mother was well prepared to eat, dress and use, and he never had to worry about half a cent. Unlike now, we have to work for a living.

Pang Jinglun changed the topic: "just now, ah San boiled the soup for the two bones you brought back yesterday. Go and drink a bowl to warm your body." Ah San's injury is not serious. He can get out of bed long ago. Just to let Xuan Ge'er know that life is not easy, and let him not be a bad person in the future, so he stayed in bed. Now see Xuan elder brother son grow up, also give him to share some housework.

Just at this time, there was a cry outside: "brother, brother, open the door, I'll send you firewood."

Opened the door, Xuan elder brother son sees three men standing outside, these three people each carry two heavy firewood.

The man who bought firewood was named Dahe. He said to xuange'er, "these are my two younger brothers, Erhe and Sanhe."

Xuan elder brother son lets three people put firewood in firewood room, looking at the sweat bead of three people forehead, thought next say: "you come with me."

Take three people into the kitchen, Xuan Ge'er scooped a bowl of bone soup for three people: "it's not easy to drive on a cold day, drink some hot soup to warm your body."

The three people drank the soup gratefully and went home after a thousand thanks. If you go home early, you can send more firewood.

Pang Jinglun thought about the meal made by Xuan Ge'er, so he lost his appetite: "ASA, you can cook the lunch!" Xuan Ge'er's food is not so bad. Even if it's boiled, it's either too much or too little salt. A few days ago, I had no choice but to force myself to swallow. Now that ah San can go down to the ground, it's better to let him cook.

Xuan Ge'er hurriedly refused: "I'd better go and cook! Ah San's legs are not sharp enough to stand for a long time. "

Ah San said with a simple smile, "young master, cut the vegetables well and I'll fry them." In this way, you don't have to stand long.

Because of the shortage of money, the three meals are also relatively economical. At noon, there will be one dish and one soup, which are fried pork with cabbage and radish bone soup.

Not to mention Pang Jinglun, even Xuan Ge'er put down his chopsticks after eating two bowls of rice.

It's getting dark. After the three brothers put down the firewood, Sanhe said, "brother, we'll send the rest of the firewood tomorrow. Do you think it's feasible?"

"Yes." With that, Xuan Ge'er gave the firewood money to Sanhe: "this is 100 Wen. I'll give you the rest when you've finished delivering the firewood. "

Dahe took the money and said gratefully, "thank you, brother."

Sanhe said happily: "Niang always wants to eat dumplings. Tomorrow we will buy some white flour and meat to make dumplings." Their family is very poor, not to mention dumplings. They don't have enough food on weekdays. Otherwise, they would not come out to sell firewood on such a cold day.

Pang Jinglun sees Xuan Ge'er go out for a trip, and he is in a low mood. He asks strangely, "what's the matter? What's the matter?"

Xuan elder brother son red eye socket say: "I miss my mother." When he was driven out of Beijing, he had a grudge in his heart. But now, he is incomparably Miss Yuxi, miss the days at home.

"What? Don't blame your mother for breaking you up with the Zhong girls? " When he left Beijing, Pang Jinglun knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was. A few days ago, ah San told him the reason.

Xuan elder brother son whole person once froze.

Pang Jinglun said, "why don't you think about it? Why does your wife insist on letting you go with the Zhong family girl?"

Xuan Ge'er said softly, "because the Zhong family committed a crime."

"Is it really just the Zhong family who committed a crime that his wife left his family?" See Xuan elder brother son to see to oneself, Pang Jing Lun says: "step back to say, even if really just this reason, madam is also not wrong." The Zhong family is not a common crime, but a felony of treason.

Xuan Ge'er said with a bitter smile, "but once I leave my family, the girl of the Zhong family will have no way to live."

Pang Jinglun said: "just because you pity the girls of the Zhong family, you have to put your life in it? When you make this decision, have you considered the feelings of the master and his wife? When you marry Zhong wanting, he has a grudge against the Zhong family and will kill you to avenge the Zhong family. Then the master and his wife will suffer the loss of their son. "

"I..." I can't say a word. He used to think that Zhong wanting would not harm him, but now he is not sure.

Pang Jinglun said: "you should remember that the people who love you most in the world are always the parents who gave birth to you and raised you. Whatever they do, it's for your own good. "

"Is it for me to drive me out of the capital?" If he did not leave Beijing, he would not have to suffer.

Pang asked: "if you don't have me and ah San, do you think you can live outside?" With these two hundred and fifty personalities, I'm sure the bones will be gnawed.

Seeing that xuange'er was silent, Pang Jinglun said: "just now the three men got money for selling firewood. The first thing they wanted to do was buy meat and noodles and go home to make dumplings for her mother. I ask you, what have you done for your master and wife when you are so old? "

Xuan elder brother son shame ground lowered a head, he didn't have done anything for cloud Qing with jade Xi.

Pang Jinglun wanted to say more, but saw Ah San shaking his head at him. Too much is better than too much. Your Highness has to be slow.

Also this evening, you Ge'er and Yuxi said: "Niang, I've been dreaming these days that my third brother is not satisfied with food and clothing, and he's being bullied."

Yuxi said with a smile: "how can Mr. Pang make ah Xuan suffer from cold and hunger? As for being bullied, it's even more impossible. All ten big men can't beat ah San. "

"Mother, I also dreamt that my third brother was hiding in the bed and crying. He was so sad. The third brother cried and said, "I want to go home." It's also a dream one after another, which makes you have a lingering fear.

Yuxi was a little surprised, but he didn't show half a point.

Qihao said: "the day is thoughtful, the night has a dream, you are too worried about ah Xuan will have such a dream."

You elder brother son thinks also: "Niang, that three elder brothers when come back?"? He doesn't know anything, so let him go home early! " It's better to be outside than at home.

Yuxi said with a smile, "I don't know when I will come back. However, he will definitely come back before Qihao's wedding. "
