Fight the Giants

   "Satisfied, why not." Yang pursed her lips and snickered.

   "Xiao Sheng's kid has gone to Yu's house several times, and delivered things to Yu Ya several times. He is sneaky, afraid that we will see him."

  Auntie Zou was listening and couldn't stop laughing.

   "That kid, his grandpa and I thought he was stupid, but I didn't expect him to know how to please girls."

  Huo Xi also laughed.

  The Zou family has been following him these years, and Zou Sheng should have been busy with his family in the future. The Yu family also established a friendship starting from their own fishing. Over the years, I have helped my family buy and deliver goods, and the two have gotten closer.

  If the Zou family and the Yu family get married, it will be a good thing for my family.

   "That's really congratulations, grandpa and grandma, you guys should let go of your worries."

   "That's not true. With Xiaosheng's whereabouts, his grandpa and I are relieved. Thanks to your family these years, otherwise we would not have a good life today." He and Yang sighed with emotion over the years.

  The two asked her about her stay in Beiping. Huo Xi picked up some and told them, and gave them some local products brought back from the north.

   "So much?" Aunt Zou refused.

   "Grandma, take it. I bought it all along the way, and my own boat is also convenient. It's not worth much."

   "Why is it worthless, this donkey-hide gelatin is very expensive." Zou Sheng used to travel to Huai'an, and would occasionally buy them for health. It's not that she doesn't know the price.

   "It's not expensive, you and my mother take care of your body, it's better than anything else."

  Auntie Zou happily accepted it as soon as she heard it. "Your grandfather delivered the vegetables to each family in the morning, so he couldn't stay idle. He went to help the fan workshop. You should know that you won't go out when you come back."

  Now Grandpa Zou regards the Huo family's children as her own grandchildren, and the two families get along very well.

  Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai also don't have old people around, longing for this kind of family affection, they sincerely regard the two old people as their own family members.

  In the evening, Huo Xi was going to pick up Huo Nian from school.

  Someone came to the house.

   "Xiao Xi is back?"

   "Second cousin?" Seeing that it was Huo Xuan, Huo Xi was stunned.

   Seeing him coming, Mrs. Yang hurriedly greeted him, "You kid, I told you that you don't need to bring it, you can keep it for yourself, or sell it at the fish market, you won't listen."

  Took the fish and shrimp in his hand, and greeted him: "Come here, rest your feet, Auntie will pour water for you."

  Huo Xi glanced at the fishing basket in Yang's hand, it was heavy.

   "Your cousin is very kind. He brings fish and shrimp here every now and then. He is more sensible than your uncle and fifth aunt." Grandma Zou pulled Huo Xi over and explained a few words.

  Huo Xi watched her mother greet Huo Xuan with a concerned look on her face. It seemed that she was also very satisfied with this nephew. He turned his head and gave some instructions to Vanilla.

   "Did Xiao Xi come back today?" I didn't see her yesterday.

   "Yes, I just came back not long ago. Did my cousin send fish to the city?"

   "Yes, the second uncle told us about the restaurants where we sent the fish before. If we catch the fish now, we will also pick up some big ones and send them to the inner city Salou."

  Huo Xi nodded, her father is a clear person, since he can tell Huo Sanhe's family about the restaurants in the inner city that have a good relationship with his family, he should approve of this younger brother.

   After saying a few words, Huo Xuan was about to leave, "Let's go, it will be dark in a while."

  Yang took the candied pears and dates from Xiangcao's hand and a few pieces of homemade cloth from the Northland, and stuffed them into his hands: "This is brought back by your cousin from the north, you take it back."

  Huo Xuan declined for a while, took it over, thanked him, said hello, and left.

Yang sent him out, turned around and came back, and said to Huo Xi: "Your third uncle's family is grateful, and when they come back to the city to sell fish, they will send some to our house. An'an and Nian'er drank his family's fish a lot. Soup."

   "His family is fishing now? Isn't it in the passenger boat business?"

"It's mainly to carry passengers, and usually sell some groceries on the boat. The price is affordable and the sales are very good. Sometimes the farmers in the countryside want to transport some things to the city, and they also help others to deliver the goods. The father and son are diligent and willing to endure hardships. , They all went to the owner's house, helped to move them up and down, and when they were delivered to the destination, they were willing to help others, and there were more people looking for them, and the business was very good."

   "Father and son?"

"Yes, your third uncle is working on the boat with his two sons, and your third aunt is farming with her two daughters at home. Usually they catch some fish and sell some fish and shrimp in their free time, so they can get more some money."

  Huo Xi nodded. People who work hard and can endure hardship can survive wherever they go. If someone guides the way and is willing to work hard, life will soon be better than ordinary people.

   "Where's my uncle's family?"

   Speaking of Huo Daqin's family, Yang curled her lips.

   "I haven't seen this family. Before, I helped collect some goods and shipped them to our shop for sale. Later, I stopped receiving work from our shop. I went to the countryside to collect the goods and found a way to sell them myself."

   "Your father complained a few times, but he didn't care too much. Since I have the ability, don't come to your father in the future." Yang disdains this kind of person who crosses the river and destroys the bridge.

   "It's okay, mother, our shop is not short of goods from this one."

   "Mother persuaded your father in the same way. Your father said to leave them alone. Anyway, they will get the way, and how they live is their own business."

  Her parents can tell clearly, which is the best. "What about my fifth aunt?"

"Your fifth aunt honestly collects the vegetables and sends them over. But your fifth aunt is careful. The vegetables, eggs, and meat you sent before are not fresh, and you want to raise the price. Mother told them once. If they can't do it, they leave it to others to do it, and they will be honest."

   This is a small profit but quick turnover business. Otherwise, can the residents of Qionghua Lane buy from the Huo family for several years?

   "It's just that she was careless and let her husband's family know that she can earn a lot in a month, and she often goes to the pier to pester her. Now they don't even dare to approach the pier."

  Huo Xi shook his head. "Uncle, third uncle and fifth aunt are all earning money now, so my fourth uncle hasn't come to see my father?"

"Why don't you look for it? Your father said that he showed them the way and asked your fourth uncle to either follow your uncle or your third uncle. He doesn't want to bother. Your fourth uncle also wants to ask your father for money to buy a boat. You Dad refused, so he didn’t come again. I heard that I bought the boat with money from your grandma, and now I’m going out to collect and sell goods with your uncle.”

  Huo Xi listened a few times, and seeing that they didn't make trouble with her, she didn't bother. He brought Chuyi and Youqing to pick up Nian'er.

  She thought about it all the way, that Nian'er should have a book boy to play with. Let Chuyi and Youqing follow him from now on.

  Arrived at the gate of the Shushu, after waiting for a while, I saw Zhuifeng leading Nian'er and Bao Kang out of the Shushu. Huo Nian, Fang Qi and the others said something funny and laughed happily.

  The corners of Huo Xi's mouth twitched.

   "I haven't been to someone else's house to pay birthday wishes. Are your family's rules strict?"

   "Not strict, my grandfather is very kind, and he likes children the most. You are so smart, and you are so good at literature and martial arts. My grandfather has long wanted to know you."

Fang Qi was afraid that the two little friends would not come, so he encouraged: "My grandfather also invited the opera troupe to come to the house to sing, and then we can order lively opera books to watch, and I will take you to the backstage to watch them put on makeup, it will be fun. The face is painted one by one."

   "Okay, then Huo Nian and I will be there on time tomorrow." Gu Yu nodded his head with excitement.

  Huo Nian was about to answer, when he looked up and saw Huo Xi who was waiting there, his eyes widened instantly.
