On the second day of Sun and Zhang's wedding in Qinghetang, Sun Shoubei got up in the morning to open the street gate.As soon as the door opened, a person fell in along the door on all fours. "Drink! My old man! Open the door and listen to someone snoring outside." Zhao Si got up and saluted Sun Shoubei with a smile. "Zhao Si, why are you so naughty, don't call the door, and sleep here!" Sun Shoubei also laughed. "Call the door! I came against the city gate. It's not yet dawn, how can I call the door? So sitting here, I'm dreaming." "Come in! Come in!"

Zhao Si followed Sun Shoubei into the three north rooms in the outer courtyard, which looked like a study, but there were no books. "You should tell me about the father and daughter of the Long family!" Sun Shoubei said. "Don't be busy! Old man! Give us a bowl of hot tea, the body sleeping outside the door is a little stiff!" Sun Shoubei gave Zhao Si a bowl of hot tea, and Zhao Si drank it all in one go, stretching his limbs , and patted his forehead again. "Yes! The cold is gone, and the enthusiasm is all here; old man, let's talk!" "Tell me!"

"The money that Nagarjuna owed Lao Zhang is true. It is true that Lao Zhang forced Lao Long to sell his daughter to repay the debt. It is also true that Eighth Lord offered more than 1,000 yuan to buy the dragon and phoenix. Only Long Jungu sold his daughter. It is false. He cannot Selling his daughter, but Lao Zhang's debt is the debt of the king of Hades, one day's delay, and one day's interest, so he decided to pay off Lao Zhang first, and then sue Ba Ye, this is his original intention, as far as I think, he is not a bad person. " "Where did they flee to?" Sun Shoubei asked.

"They didn't run away, they were just waiting to see Baye, or you, old man!" "You don't need to see me, you go and tell Baye, ask Nagarjuno to write a note to repay the money in installments, no interest is required! You see, this is fair Unfair? Can you understand it?" "I understand! Old man! I understand other people's affairs, but I don't understand our own affairs!" There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Si ran out: "Who are you looking for? I'm Zhao Si! This is old man Sun's home!" "Fourth brother, my uncle and I are here!"

Zhao Si didn't ask Sun Shoubei, seeing that they were missing, he led them in without any doubt.When he was almost at the door, he shouted: "Old man! Someone is coming!" Old man Li supported Li Jing, walked into the room slowly, and bowed deeply to Sun Shoubei without saying anything. "How are you, girl?" Sun Shoubei asked Li Jing. "I'm fine! Uncle and I are here to thank you for your kindness, but he and I don't know what to say!" Li Jing said. "Girl, needless to say anything else! If my own daughter were alive, she would be two or three years older than you, and you are the one who is so good-looking and well-behaved. She is dead! I think of her when I see you!" Sun Shoubei looked at Li Jing , There was a pain in my heart, and tears flowed down!Li Jing couldn't help crying too!

Zhao Si walked out on tiptoe.He is not afraid of fighting, only afraid of seeing people cry. "Girl!" Sun Shoubei wiped his tears and said, "How will your uncle and nephew live in the future?" Li Jing looked at her uncle, and old man Li shook his head slightly at her.She didn't know what to say, so she couldn't help but blush. "Old man Sun!" Old man Li said in a low voice: "We have nothing to repay for the past, and we have nothing to say. The future depends on the fate of our uncles and nephews!" "Mr.!" Sun Shoubei was very sincere. He said to old man Li: "I understand your arrogance. Now, I am definitely not for you, and of course I am not for me; we are all old, what else do we hope for? But we should think of it for the girl. How to arrange her is the most important thing." The only problem."

Old man Li said nothing, Li Jing stared blankly at the two old men, and had no place to interject. Zhao Si only came in, holding Xiao San under one armpit and Xiao Si under the other. The two children stabbed Zhao Si's diaphragm with their little fingers. Zhao Si smiled with his mouth wide open, and the two children also laughed. Blush like the petals of a red rose.This is Xiao San, Xiao Si saw Zhao Si for the first time, it seemed that Zhao Si had a kind of attraction that could draw the children's laughter out.Zhao Si's face was clouded by laughter in the children's little black eyes, no matter how you looked at it, it was cute and ridiculous.

Zhao Si put the two children on the ground, and Sun Ba came in after him.Sun Ba looked at his uncle and Li Jing, blushed twice, sat down in shame, and forgot to say "hard work". "Baye!" Sun Shoubei said to Sun Ba: "I have told Zhao Si about the Long family's affairs, you should go and do it quickly." "Exactly!" Sun Ba nodded. Old man Li stood up, bowed to the uncle and nephew of the Sun family, and then said to old man Sun: "We will talk about it another day"! Li Jing helped his uncle to walk out slowly, and the Sun family's uncle and nephew were only sent to the courtyard. "This old man is quite elegant!" Old man Sun said to his nephew.

"Exactly!" Sun Ba said. "It's also very self-respecting!" Zhao Si said. "Exactly!" Sun Ba said again. "Zhao Si!" Sun Shoubei said to Zhao Si. "How about your own business?" "It's all other people's business, I'll never be fine!" Zhao Si replied. "What do you eat?" "Pull the cart! You can't die of starvation! Let's pull the business that people don't want to do! Dare to fight the soldiers that people don't dare to fight! I can't starve to death, I'm afraid I will be killed by others; but killing to death is better than starving to death!" Zhao said. Four very proud, to play their own wishes.Followed by patting his mouth to imitate clams and ants, and recruited Xiaosan and Xiaosi to jump up and laugh.

"That's it," Sun Shoubei said, "When you are really in trouble, you come to me, and I dare not give you anything now!" "Hmph! Old man! We have never begged anyone in our life! I want to see you when I have money! Other things, needless to say! Old man! Let's take care of each other!" "Zhao Si! You are a good boy! Eight Lord! Go with Zhao Si to handle the affairs of the Long family!" "Exactly! Uncle!" "Don't go! Don't go!" Xiaosan and Xiaosi pulled Zhao Si to prevent him from going out. "You wait for me! I'll get you the little white mouse! It's so small!" Zhao Si gestured with his thumb pointing at the first joint of his index finger.

Xiaosan and Xiaosi let go, and Zhao Si ran out in a hurry.
