Fight the Giants

  Huo Xi was a little taken aback. It was the first time for her to see the Huo family's eldest family and the third family.

   exchanged a few pleasantries and asked them why they came.

  Huo Daqin prided himself on his identity, didn't speak, and only looked at Huo Xi with his eyes. Huo Sanhe and his son looked a little fawning, and just smiled at her with a dull look.

  Huo Tong from the eldest room looked at her and said that she was here to find work with the second uncle.

"During the year, the fifth aunt came home. We heard that the fifth aunt was working at the second uncle's place, so we planned to come and have a look. The family has a large population, three bedrooms, more than 20 people, and the family only has about ten acres of land. Not enough for a whole family to chew for a year."

   During the year, Wugu returned to her natal home. Although she pretended to be low-key, no one could see that she had developed.

   Grandma pulled out all the big gold bracelets hidden in her hand. The two children also had silver chains on their bodies, and they were all dressed in muslin clothes.

  Even when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year to pretend to be a front door, they don’t pretend to be like this. It’s not that they are developed.

  Grandma scolded her second uncle at home for several days, saying that he brought up a married girl with a foreign surname, and never thought of supporting a big family of parents.

   It’s only Chinese New Year, so I sent them over to look for my second uncle.

   "Did my father meet Wugu?" Dad didn't say anything when he came back during the year.

   "During the year, a younger sister-in-law in the fifth aunt's family got married, and she returned to her natal family only on the fifth day of the lunar new year."

   No wonder. If Huo Wuniang and Huo Wuniang returned to Huo's house in the second day of junior high school, her father might be left in Huo's house during the year and would not be able to come back.

  But there are three brothers in Huo's family, here comes the couple, where is Huo Sipan? Huo Xi had met that man when she was a child, and she didn't have a good impression of him when she stopped her father from asking for money.

  Huo Daqin silently looked at the daughter of his second brother.

  The second brother said that she was not in good health these years, and never took her back. Look at her with a maid, what she is wearing, and her temperament, she is really well maintained.

   I heard that the eldest son of the second brother's family has been sent to school. It seems that the second brother is really developed. I only give ten taels of silver every year during the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid I have saved a lot. There are houses in this city, and there are old servants who look after the gates and yards.

  If he had been the recruiter back then...

  Huo Daqin shook his head hurriedly. Recruiting a wife is not a good thing, how can the reputation be good?

  In the Zhuangzi of Jiangjun Mountain, Huo Erhuai picked up a boatload of sucrose delivered by Guangfengshui to the Zhuangzi early in the morning, and was busy leading Ji Laozhuang and others to practice sugar, so he was exhausted.

  This year, the two children said that they will go to sea again, so the amount of sugar is indispensable.

  If there are many, shopkeeper Shen can take them to Ningbo and Songjiang to sell to Fanshang. This candy can be sold at a high price, so it cannot be ignored.

   After a busy morning, I took a break at noon and went back to the yard for dinner.

  Seeing Mrs. Yang cutting fabrics in the room.

   "Where's An An?"

   "Nurse is coaxing him to sleep."

   Seeing that Huo Erhuai was about to move, he quickly stopped him: "Don't look at him, you wake him up, he cries so loudly, it will take a long time to coax him."

  Huo Erhuai also had a headache when he thought of his youngest son's loud voice.

   "Nian'er didn't cry that loudly when she was a child. Sometimes she shed tears without making a sound. It hurts to see. This An An is simply the reincarnation of a magic star. My scalp is numb when I howl."

   Yang laughed.

   "Perhaps he is eating well. Although I don't feed him now, the nanny has enough milk, and now he has milk to feed him. He eats it every two hours. He gets fat and howls loudly."

"The cow that Fu'er bought back is really a good thing. We adults can drink the milk that is dozens of catties a day. If you can't finish it, follow the method Xi'er said, make milk powder, powder flakes, Nian'er I also like to eat."

   "No, it's hard for Fu'er to transport two cows all the way back. Look at the Japanese scissors..."

   Yang raised the scissors in his hand towards Huo Erhuai: "It's very easy to use, sharp."

  Touched the Japanese cloth in my hand, the pattern was beautiful, no need to embroider patterns, and it was durable. It's spring, and she has to hurry up and make some unlined clothes for the children.

  Huo Erhuai looked at the scissors in Yang's hand, he didn't expect that the island country on the other side of the sea also had such good things. Fu'er talked a lot, and he wanted to go out and have a look.

   "The red ginseng Xi'er said to keep two at home, I don't think we need it, why don't we sell it? How about some money?"

Yang stared at him: "What's the point of selling it! It's a living thing, and there's no place to find it if you want to buy it. Xi'er said to keep us to make up for it. Besides, we are not short of money now. Every year, the land rent is collected from us. Here, we have a few thousand taels of silver in our hands. If you change the money, you are caught in the eyes of money."

"I'm not giving us money. The two children will go to sea again this year. I heard that an extra boat, two big boats, will cost two to three hundred thousand taels. I tremble when I think about it. I'm afraid that the two children will not have any money."

  Mr. Yang put down her needlework and sighed.

"Father, you said that in the past few years, how could we have imagined that our family would be able to negotiate a business with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? It's unthinkable. I just want to save a few dollars at the end of the year, thank God Now, you can live a better life in the coming year.”

  How could I have imagined that now I have a house and a shop in my city, and a Zhuangzi in the suburbs with property.

  Huo Erhuai also sighed with emotion: "That's not true. If we hadn't picked up Xi'er and Nian'er, our family might still be floating on the water. An An, probably wouldn't have come to this world."

  Thinking of An An, Yang is all smiles.

"That's not it. We can't do anything. It's best to take care of your body and not drag down a few children. Don't just focus on the sugar mill or the silkworm house. You should also give more snacks. Xi'er is right. Canfang’s earnings last year were not very satisfactory.”

Huo Erhuai nodded: "I know that the mortality rate of silkworms should not be so high this year. It is no problem to raise silkworms five times. I will see if I can raise six times silkworms. If an acre of mulberry fields can get more than one stone Cocoon can also help the two children more."

  While the husband and wife were talking, the servant of the village came to report that someone had come from the city.

  By the time Huo Erhuai hurriedly rowed the boat into the city, Huo Daqin and the others were already eating, drinking and sleeping in the house.

  Huo Xi didn't know how to arrange them, he just rested in the house, waiting for someone to notify Huo Erhuai. Huo Daqin couldn't sit still, and took his son Huo Tong to Mochou Lake to see the scenery. Only Huo Sanhe and his son were left in the house.

  Huo Sanhe, like Huo Erhuai, is a child who grew up in the middle.

   It’s not that the parents of the middle child don’t feel pain, but young parents must have a lot of expectations for the first child. The youngest child is also the last one, so it is also painful.

   The children in the middle naturally have less expectations, and naturally less attention.

So the four brothers of the Huo family, the oldest and the youngest, were sent to study in a school in the countryside for two years. , the people in his room contributed the most.

  Now in the city, I see a vegetable field in my second brother's house, and I can't stay idle. Tossing and turning in the vegetable field, he also pointed to Grandpa Zou who was beside him.

  Huo Erhuai came in and saw this picture.

   "Third brother?"

   "Second brother."

   "How did you find this place?"

   "The address I asked for from Fifth Sister. It's slack in the farming season, and my parents asked us to go to the city to find you some work."
