This is a folk song in the lunar month. It means that we are going to be busy when we enter the 23rd lunar month.

On the 23rd, Yuxi also asked Bai Ma and others to make sweet melon paste. She ate some herself, left some in the mansion, and sent others to the school. Each child was divided into two.

Tanggua is full of sticky materials, and white mother's craft is also very good, and the taste is very good. Lubai divided two. He only gave up half of them and put the other half away. Not only does he do it, but most of the children do it.

After class in the afternoon, Lubai came home, but before he could hear the noise inside, he walked in and shouted, "big brother, are you back?" Then he went into the low shed. Yes, it's a shed, not a house. Shortly after Lubai's father died in the war, their mother sold the house and remarried with the money from selling the house and her husband's pension. At that time, one of the two brothers was only nine years old and the other six years old. It was their father's friends who built the shed for them. Otherwise, they didn't even have a place to live.

Lu Zhu saw his brother and said with a smile, "well, back." Lu Zhu is not allowed to go to school because of his age. Since my father died in the war two years ago, my mother left my brothers behind and married them again with my father's pension, the nine-year-old child grew up as if overnight. Later, Lu Zhu found a job in a tavern and offered three meals without pay. With the help of his father's friends, the two brothers have been so hard up to now.

Lu Bai took out the melon in his sleeve, handed it to Lu Zhu, and said, "brother, this is from the school today. I ate one. It's delicious. Have a look." Lu Zhu now works as a errand runner in a tavern and has no salary. At that time, he offered two people to eat: "you can eat what the school sends yourself." There was a child in the school who went home with food. As a result, he was hungry and dizzy in the school. This person refers to Lu Bai. At first, Lu Zhu thought that he couldn't finish eating. Later, he knew the truth and was very angry.

Lu Bai took out half of the melon and said, "I said yes, I have already eaten half of it. Brother, this is what I left for you! "

Lu Zhu then took over, took a little bite, nodded and said, "delicious." Anyway, it's just an eleven year old.

Lubai opened 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 money in the tavern, 160 yuan a month. In addition, Lubai doesn't have to spend any more money to go to school. This year, we can have a good year.

Lu Bai nodded: "brother, sir, said today, after school in the 29th afternoon, I will go back to school on the fourth day." Yuxi also knew that these children were in a difficult situation, so he only gave them four days off.

Lu Zhu nodded and asked, "do you remember what Mr. Lu taught today?" Lu Zhu urged Lu Bai to study hard. Lu Bai did not fail to live up to his expectations and studied very seriously.

Lubai squatted down, took a tray of branches and wrote on the sand. It's made by reference to the school. The two children don't have money, but it's just a matter of doing things without any money. Lubai has 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."

Lubai stressed: "brother, don't worry, I will study hard."

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

Hao Dazhuang nodded and said, "yes, there are some children who are very clever. They can learn martial arts very well as soon as they hear what Mr. Hao said."

Yuxi said, "let me write down the names of the children who have learned well and have a serious attitude, and then give them to me." It's not good to read and learn martial arts, but also good character. Although it will change when we grow up, the probability lies in a few.

Hao Dazhuang didn't understand. He asked, "madam, are you going to reward them?" That's because last time he said that.

Yuxi nodded and said, "that's right! Must choose according to the child's achievement, can't depend on own preference, remember After these children are selected, they must pass 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, "it's only a matter for Mr. and some masters to know. Don't talk about it outside." Before things are done, Yuxi doesn't want to let the news out.

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

Huo Changqing and Yunqing come back from the barracks. Seeing that everyone in the mansion is busy, they ask, "what is this doing?"

"The guard said," Madame has ordered that the mansion be cleaned clean, and there should be no dust in any corner. " It's a pain for them old men. But it's hard to leave the work of the outer courtyard to those servant girls! So we have to do it ourselves.

Huo Changqing listened and said: "it's not the same to marry a daughter-in-law. It's like New Year's day." As in previous years, Chinese New Year is also cold and fresh, with no taste at all. This year is different. The atmosphere in this mansion is different.

Yunqing heard this and said: "Uncle Huo, then you can find one too! Others don't say, at least there is a person who knows the cold and the hot. " Huo Chang is not very young. He is only in his early forties this year. Before marriage, he also felt that having a wife and children was a burden, but only after marriage did he know that this was life.

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

Yunqing thought for a moment and said: "Uncle Huo, if you want to, you can take Yan Family! This Yan's appearance is also good, listening to Yuxi said that it's more peaceful. " Yan Yiyi starts to want to win Yunqing's pity, but Yunqing doesn't look at her directly, which makes her very frustrated. It wasn't long before he realized that Yuxi was not a kind-hearted man, so he shrank honestly. She was worried that she was so happy that she didn't know how to die. Yuxi is still quite satisfied with this, but her identity is special and it is not easy to get married, so she has been putting it on hold.

Huo changqingdun for a moment, or shook his head: "half of the body buried in the earth, what concubine do you take?"

Seeing this, Yunqing said, "what is half body buried in the earth? Uncle Huo, you are still young!" Seeing that Huo Changqing still shook his head, Yunqing said, "Uncle Huo, this is settled. I'll go to talk to Yuxi now." With that, he hurried to the backyard.

Yuxi is looking at the account book now. Seeing Yunqing coming back, he stands up and says with a smile, "it's just noon. How can he come back? Knowing that the mansion needs to be cleaned today, will you come back to help? "

Yunqing raised his voice and said, "if you have anything, madam, just give me orders."

When Yuxi saw it, he knew there was something good. He asked, "what's the good news? So happy? " She seldom saw Yunqing so happy, but she was curious about what happened!

Yunqing said, "I want Yan Yiyi to serve uncle Huo. Please find an opportunity to tell her." Now that someone has given it to him, he has the right to deal with it. Let Yuxi say, not to discuss with Yan Yiyi, but to inform her.

Yu Xi is frightened a big jump, ask: "Huo uncle took a fancy to Yan Yiyi?" I didn't expect that Huo Changqing was a beautiful woman.

Yunqing immediately shook his head and said, "no, I mean it. Uncle Huo is alone, and there is no one who knows the cold and the hot. Don't you say that Yan Yiyi is still his duty? I think it would be nice for her to serve uncle Huo. "

As long as Yunqing doesn't want to take a concubine, Yuxi is sure to have no problem. Moreover, uncle Huo accepted Yan Yiyi, which reassured her. This family put such a big beauty, in case Yunqing can't help temptation for a while! Although Yuxi also knows that the probability is small and pitiful, it still exists. At this point, Yuxi is also very careful: "this is your hot shaver, or uncle Huo has agreed?"

Yun Qing smiled happily: "Uncle Huo didn't refuse, you can arrange it now." If he doesn't refuse, he means he agrees. Naturally, he will strike while the iron is hot.

Yuxi understands Yunqing's meaning, which is to let Yan Yiyi serve Huo Changqing tonight. Yuxi shook his head and said, "it's not appropriate for you to let me talk to her first, and then put on two tables of wine seriously." Seeing Yunqing's hesitation, Yuxi said: "this is to find a woman who knows both the cold and the hot for uncle Huo, not a warm bed. How do you think of the rest of the people in the mansion when you send them silently? How can she serve uncle Huo with all her heart? If you put the wine on it, it means that you have set your name. She will feel safe and secure. Naturally, she will devote herself to Uncle Huo. " Through the observation of this period of time, Yuxi also saw that Yan Yiyi was thoughtful, but also aware of current affairs. After setting two tables of wine and crossing the Minglu Road, she will surely live with Huo Changqing wholeheartedly.

Yunqing thought that he would take a concubine instead of a wife. It's no use for such trouble. But after listening to Yuxi's words, he thought that there were two reasons. Moreover, it's also a small matter. There's no need to argue. He nodded and said, "since you think it's so good, you'll tell her later. At night, put some more wine on the table and let her serve uncle Huo."

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

Yunqing also told Yuxi, "I'm afraid Huo Shuo won't agree to it tomorrow, so it's better to settle it first."

Yuxi is amused. Since Huo Changqing has agreed, how can he repent? It's not just care but chaos: "Cheng, I'll call Yan now."
