Fight the Giants

  Chapter 286 Meet on August 15th

   This is the fifth Mid-Autumn Festival that Huo Xi, Huo Erhuai, Yang Shi and others have celebrated.

  In the first year, the boat was still broken, and the whole family huddled in the small broken boat with only a straw curtain in between.

   If the living is not good, the food is also good. As Yang Fuyi said when he was bitter and thinking sweet, he vomited after eating dried fish.

   It’s not that I will really vomit, but I just feel anorexia when I look at the dried fish.

That year, in order to give my mother more good food, I thought of various ways with my uncle, went to the wharf to carry goods for others, harvested crabs and shrimps, made bald butter, dried shrimps and grilled shrimps, sold wine and cloth, and opened Set up a shop selling goods on the water.

  The life at home gradually improved.

   As far as Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi are concerned, this is so good, so good. They have been floating on the water for ten years, but they can't earn a big boat, and they can't buy a homestead to build a house on the shore.

  However, in just a few years, they have bought two houses in the city and several hectares of land for their family. They took Nian'er to collect the rent, and it took ten and a half months to collect the rent.

  In the small courtyard of Qionghua Lane, the Huo family, the three grandparents of the Zou family, Shen Qianzhong's father and son, Lou Qingyao's mother and daughter, the crowd was so lively that two tables were set up in the courtyard before they could sit down.

   "In today's day, I didn't even dare to think about it before, but we have enjoyed a great blessing with Xi'er!"

  Auntie Zou looked at the table full of food, and laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

  Tightly holding the hand of the grandson sitting next to her, seeing the grandson looking more and more excited now, the two old people feel like drinking a big jar of honey.

  Grandpa Zou nodded again and again: "No, I was afraid that when we were on the boat earlier, we, Sheng'er, would not be able to find our granddaughter-in-law, but now I don't have to worry about it."

   Suddenly, Zou Sheng blushed when he heard his grandfather talk about his marriage.

   "Grandpa, grandma, do all the old ladies in the alley have their eyes on Brother Sheng? Are you being picky?" Shen Luo joked.

  This child was thrown in Qionghua Lane by his father since he was a child. Thanks to Grandpa Zou and Grandma Zou who took care of him and took care of his daily life, he and Grandpa Zou got along like grandparents.

  Everyone laughed and made fun of Zou Sheng.

  Grandpa Zou just pursed his lips and smiled, while Grandma Zou was a little smug: "We Sheng'er, there are so many people asking about it now!"

  Huo Xi smiled and glanced at Zou Sheng.

  In the past few years, he had a low self-esteem and was not good at talking. Since he joined Guangfengshui and stayed with Shen Qianzhong for a few years, and now he goes to various management shops to receive and sell goods by himself, his whole temperament has changed.

  Walking outside, you have to be called Guanshi Zou, and you have some property in your hands, so you really are a good candidate for a son-in-law.

  Yang Fu also joked with everyone: "He is walking outside now, and some of his colleagues want to marry their daughters to him. There are many people who inquire about him."

Zou Sheng immediately said to Mrs. Yang: "Auntie, there are quite a few people asking about Yang Fu. You and my uncle, you have to be careful and choose carefully. He has high eyesight. I can't take it lightly. "

  Yang Fu didn't expect that he was just teasing Zou Sheng, but a sentence caused everyone to turn the topic to him, and he was a little overwhelmed.

   "I'm still young. I told my sister that I won't have a family until I'm twenty."

   "Twenty? No, no, no, I'm too old. It's time to pick up the leftovers from others."

   "Yes, yes, I did not agree." Yang also said with a smile.

"sister!"

  Lou Qingyao smiled, listening to everyone talking, no one regarded her mother and daughter as outsiders.

   These days, the life of their mother and daughter is really a good day that they can't even imagine. Now she can concentrate on doing what she likes to do, and her daughter is happy and content.

  Looking at the table full of dishes, everything is delicious, this is the feeling of home.

   Picked up a chopstick and wanted to feed it to her daughter, but when she turned her head, she saw that Nian'er scooped up a bowl full for her daughter, and it was piled up to the top.

   "Sister Nannan, you eat this meatball, it's delicious!" Huo Nian was very happy to see a little sister coming to his house, acting like an adult.

  The little girl still couldn't hold the ball firmly, so she moved her mouth to the side of the bowl, put a spoon into her mouth, took a bite, and smiled sweetly at Huo Nian: "Brother, it's delicious!"

   "That's right, I'm right, tell your brother what you want to eat, and he will pick it up for you."

   "I want to eat meat."

   "Okay, my brother will make meat for you..."

  Lou Qingyao smiled, and fed the food on the chopsticks into her mouth. It was so fragrant and delicious that it made people want to cry.

   After eating and resting for a while, at the beginning of Shen Shi, Huo Xi left the courtyard. Walking to the edge of Mochou Lake, I stretched my neck to look for someone.

   "Miss Huo, this way!" Kan Er waved to her from afar.

  Huo Xi looked around and walked towards him.

   When I got to the place, I looked up, oh, what a big painting boat, with gorgeous decoration, and two floors. He saw that stingy young master sitting in the cabin on the second floor looking at her from top to bottom.

   curled his lips.

  This young master of the Hou Mansion, although his status is embarrassing, but he drives the ever-growing Langguang Pavilion, and his life is more than enough than the last. In the early years, I bargained with her for a can of bald butter, tsk.

  You little liar, what expression is that?

   Invited her to take a cruise and wronged her?

  Kan Er helped him onto the springboard and boarded the boat. Huo Xi went straight to the second floor.

   As soon as the gangway was closed, the boat rowed towards the lake. As soon as the boat moved, Huo Xi didn't mind, he almost stepped on the floor, and was helped by Kan Er who followed behind.

  Mu Yan couldn't help laughing. This little liar has never been on such a boat. Look at her, the road is not stable. After staying on the water for so many years, the body is still shaking? Tsk.

  This stingy young master, what expression do you have?

  Huo Xi gave him a hard look.

Sat down opposite him politely, saw that the tea, melon, fruit and snacks on the low table were complete, reached out his hand and wanted to eat, then glanced at the stingy young master, not wanting him to look down upon him, picked up a fork and forked a piece of melon into his mouth Here, watching him while chewing.

   "It's the day of family reunion, you are not staying in the mansion, but you asked me to go out to swim in the lake?" What do you think?

My pleasure. Mu Yan glanced at her sideways, but didn't look back at her, only cast his eyes on the lake.

  The cruise ships and paintings in the lake are constantly shuttling back and forth.

  Huo Xi's eyes were a little straightened, this is the life of a person, eating, drinking, having fun, and worrying about everything, isn't that what life pursues?

   "Drool is coming out." Mu Yan said in disgust.

  Huo Xi withdrew his gaze, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, wiped away his loneliness, and gave him another hard look.

  Mu Yan raised the corner of his mouth, pressed it down again, and reached out to Li Yi behind him.

  Li Yi handed him a box, he took it, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi opened it and saw that the box was full of banknotes, and his eyes widened: "The last time the goods were sold out?"

   "Not so fast. This is settled for you based on the selling price, the part you deserve."

so good? Knowing that she ran out of money, send the money early? Huo Xi counted the bank notes with a smile on his face... five thousand two hundred taels!

   "Really sold for twice the price?"

  Eighty shi sugar cane sugar should get 2400 taels of silver, or if she sells it for double the price, she can get 4800 taels of silver. Now that the other party has been divided into 30%, she still ends up with 5200 taels.

Good. contented.

  Mu Yan was a little disgusted when she saw her eyes open to money, but the corners of her mouth were raised secretly, and she replied in a good mood: "Those jewelry and ivory ornaments are more expensive to sell."

  Huo Xi's eyes were amazingly bright: "Then I go back to Songjiang this time, and exchange these?"
