The sturdy life of crossing

Building an ice kiln is impossible without a hundred and eighty taels of silver, not to mention that ice cubes are rarer in this weather, and being able to get that shows how wide the road behind it is. Thinking of the words of the third child, the old man has a smile on his face "Second brother, I heard from the villagers that your father-in-law brought you ice cubes. Could it be that they have run out? It's still hot in this room."

Jian's father and Jian's mother glanced at each other, and they were secretly thankful for their previous decision to save the ice cubes for sleeping at night and to stay up during the day, and now they are really in trouble.

Father Jane laughed at himself, and he said how could his father think about his son, as expected, he still went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this time he came for the ice cubes in his house.

At this time, Jian Wenyuan came in with tea, and before Father Jian could speak, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Grandpa, look at the sweat on my face, if there are ice cubes, why don't you use them? Our family There is no ice kiln, even if there are ice cubes, they would have melted into water long ago.”

The old man was embarrassed for a moment, and felt that it was inappropriate for him to ask this question, but the child's words were probably out of intention. Thinking about it this way, the old man felt more at ease.

Father Jane interjected: "Father, the father-in-law didn't send many ice cubes. I originally wanted to send some to my father and mother, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to enjoy it for a long time. The cold and hot ones would be bad for your health. So I didn't mention it."

It is really inappropriate to tell the origin of this ice cube, otherwise, if he bought it with his own money, he would give some of it as a gift.

The old man waved his hand and said, "No need, we two elders don't need it," but there was not much smile in his eyes. The second child was distracted from them after all. Fortunately, the third child has passed the examination of scholar. A boy can only stay in this village for a lifetime,

"However, my second brother, your third brother came back today, and there is something I want to discuss with you. Dad and your third brother are not asking you for ice, but just want to ask your father-in-law to help you get in touch. Is there any way to buy ice?" You know, your third brother is taking favors. You also know that your third brother is in a critical time in the county. In the future, your third brother will develop well, and you will not forget the love of your second brother. What do you think of the benefits of you and your two children?"

Jian Wenyuan sat obediently on the side and smiled obediently, but in fact he was venting in his heart. His brother was right, he wanted to benefit from his family, and only the people in the big house thought of their family, saying that they would never forget their family relationship, because of their love Good thing, but when the big house eats delicious food and drinks spicy food, they almost can't eat here, and no one from the big house reaches out. It's not because grandpa helped their family through the difficulties.

So no matter how nicely you say it, all you get are empty promises.

Of course, Jian Wenyuan couldn't understand what a "bad check" was, but what his brother said was absolutely correct, that is, it would never be cashed.

"Father," Father Jian looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's difficult to handle this matter?"

The old man frowned, and said unhappily: "Second brother, don't you want to help your third brother? Your third brother is the hope of our Jian family. Whether the Jian family can prosper depends on your third brother. Help your third brother, don't you?" Just to help yourselves, why do you have to push back and forth on such a small matter?"

Although Jane's father has been heartbroken, he is somewhat disappointed, that's all, didn't he know this earlier, he shouldn't have hope at all, as long as he respects his duty as a son of man, that's enough.

Father Jian smiled wryly and said: "Father, it's not that I don't want to help, but that this ice cube was also stolen by my father-in-law and his old man. It may not be easy to steal it now. The Pinxianglou father in the town knows that now the town sells ice. The most important thing is this Pinxiang Tower. His father-in-law was able to grab it because not many people outside knew about it at the beginning. Brother Yang met two young men and a steward because he had delivered wild animals a few times. It’s just that Brother Yang just entered the mountain. He thought it was too hot outside, so he was going to hide in the mountain for a few days. He didn’t know when he would come back. , otherwise let him go to the town and ask about the situation of Pinxiang Tower."

"This..." The old man suppressed his unhappiness. He didn't expect that the ice cubes were sold by Pinxianglou. He didn't believe that the butcher could get in the way of Pinxianglou. He believed most of what Jane said. He has been honest since he was a child, and it is impossible to lie to him, even a freak like Jian Leyang, he doesn't think he can get on such an important person as Pinxianglou.

"Brother Yang, a brother who runs to the mountains all day and spends the night in the mountains, what does it sound like? When the news spreads, do we want to continue the family tradition of our Jian family?" The old man clearly used the topic to express his dissatisfaction. happy.

Jian Niang wanted to scold someone as soon as she clenched her hands, what kind of family tradition does Jian's family have?The sister-in-law covets her nephew's marriage, and the aunt and nephew make a fuss all over the village, what face do they have?Actually targeting Brother Yang specifically!

"Grandpa," Jian Wenyuan was also unhappy, but blinked pretending to be ignorant and said, "Grandpa can find uncle, uncle always says he has the most contacts in the town, a Pinxiang building, uncle will definitely know the shopkeeper in the building , Grandpa, are you right?"

Seeing the naive and ignorant look of the little grandson, the old man wanted to refute, but he couldn't say this, otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the boss has no connections in the town?

And what the little grandson said really reminded him that for such a big matter, the boss didn't send a letter back to ask them about their situation. In vain he and the old woman devoted themselves to raising the third child.

"Grandpa, uncle knows so many people, maybe he has already bought ice cubes, hee hee, grandpa, go and have a look."

The old man almost uttered the words of reprimand, the eldest would not be so unfilial like the second, only caring about enjoying himself.

"Your uncle wouldn't do this. He doesn't have much money to enjoy it like this. But Wen Yuan, you reminded grandpa that grandpa should ask your uncle. Second son, then father will go back first. The matter of your third brother is important." , don’t delay, if you need anything, please send us a letter, your third brother will never forget your love.”

"Understood, father, I will remember." Father Jian replied, getting up to send the old man out.

After people walked away, Jian Wenyuan made a few faces outside, and Jian Niang helplessly knocked him on the head: "Don't talk too much in the future, your father and mother can handle it well."

The two children are not the same as their husband, the younger one is also a ghost, but this is good, so no one will bully her, unlike her husband, who was bullied by the Jian family's big house in the early years. Call them often.

This time he will be hurt by his father again, Jian Niang loves her husband very much.

Jian Wenyuan straightened her chest and said, "I can protect my father and mother."

Father Jane just came back, just in time to hear what his youngest son said, the depression in his heart disappeared, and it seemed that even the summer heat was not so scorching.

"Listen to your mother, when you can stand alone, father and mother will let you go."

Jian Niang was worried that Xianggong would be hurt by the people over there, so she helped him to sit down and fan him: "Xianggong, will father, mother and the third brother just let go like this?"

She didn't think Boss Jane could get in the way of Pinxianglou, and according to the old man's tone, the amount of ice cubes she asked for would not be small, and it was so easy to buy them. If she could buy them, she wouldn't run back to find a way, the county Will it?

"If the eldest brother can't help it, then Brother Yang is a child, and he can't do anything." Father Jian, who had withdrawn, was also a bachelor, "I think father thinks the same way."

Otherwise, when he mentioned Brother Yang to deliver the prey to Pinxianglou, the old man didn't say much, maybe he didn't like this relationship and Brother Qingyang, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Jian Niang immediately understood: "That's right, doesn't elder brother always say how many people he knows in the town, how can he be compared to Brother Yang?"

The whole family reached a consensus and waited for Jian Leyang to return from the mountains.

The old man went back and told the third brother Jian about the situation. As soon as the old lady heard it, she scolded father Jian for being unfilial and white-eyed wolf. The expression of the third brother Jian made it impossible to see what was in his heart. He smiled and said: "Since the second brother is like this Said, then I will go to the elder brother to have a look first, maybe it is the same as what the second elder brother said, the elder brother can catch the door of Pinxianglou."

The old man cared more about his third son's future than the old lady, regardless of his physical discomfort, he immediately said: "I'll go with you, don't you all persuade me, old woman, bring the family money."

The old lady didn't dare to object, so she went inside to get money. This year's harvest was less. Although the food price has risen, compared with previous years, the income is still less, but the family's expenses are getting bigger and bigger. The old lady feels distressed The money is getting less and less, but for the sake of her son's future, she has to spend it no matter how much blood is on her heart. She looks forward to one day being able to follow the third child as the old Fengjun.

The youngest Jane outside took it for granted that the family took out a large sum of money. When he recovered, his parents would naturally enjoy the blessings. Does it depend on the elder brother?

After taking the silver, the old man tremblingly climbed into the carriage, and then the carriage drove out of the village again.

In the mountains, Jian Leyang walked swiftly all the way, and didn't stop when it was dark. He maximized the perception of his five sense organs, and no movement in the grass could escape him.

Compared with the daytime, the activities of insects and beasts become more frequent at night. After all, the temperature at night is lower than that of the daytime. However, as soon as Jian Leyang's breath of supernatural beings is released, the grass rustles and spreads around. .

Jian Leyang hasn't used his abilities so freely for a long time. He finds it strange that his abilities are slowly recovering without the environment of the end of the world and the crystal nucleus that can help improve his abilities. Yes, It is recovery, gradually restoring the abilities of his previous life to this body, but the physique needs to be improved before it can accommodate more abilities, so this process cannot be completed overnight.

Although Jian Leyang finds it strange, the end of the world has appeared, and he can be reborn with the memories of his previous life, so there is nothing strange about an unreasonable and unscientific thing happening again.Besides, the stronger he is, the better he can live in this era.

Suddenly received a strange message ahead, Jian Leyang stopped and looked over there, and after a while, he caught the sound of fighting, and someone else came in from this mountain, Jian Leyang quickly restrained his breath and rushed in that direction , He regards this deep mountain as his own domain, like a wild beast, he does not want to be intruded by irrelevant people, of course he needs to understand it well.
