They bought too many New Year’s goods, and some of them were not suitable for taking there. The siblings went to the mall and bought two large freezers to store the New Year’s goods. They were afraid that everything would be closed during the Chinese New Year, and they would not be able to buy the delicious food they wanted to buy.

To.

The freezer I bought at noon was delivered in the afternoon. The delivery man helped carry the freezer into the warehouse. "Kids, the freezer needs to be left for 4 hours before being plugged in. Don't plug it in early."

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu responded obediently. The temperature in the warehouse was above zero, and the seafood would have thawed after being left like this for 4 hours. They could only take it back there and freeze it for a day, and then send it over tomorrow.

I just want to send the New Year gifts to others first, so as not to leave them at my own house for fear of being missed by thieves.

After opening the package, all the seafood was wrapped in oil paper or lotus leaves, and the siblings carried the big baskets on their backs and went out.

Snowflakes were falling in the sky again. Although the cold in the village had eased, almost no one was willing to go out on a snowy day. The siblings walked all the way, knocking on the doors of their good friends.

"Uncle Wu, these are the shrimps and fish we bought at the pier. I wish Uncle Wu and his family will have fish every year and be prosperous."

"Aunt Vanilla, these are fish and prawns. They are delicious fried in oil or boiled in salt water... Yeah, it's a good sign... That's right, you're going to get better. Erhu and I wish Aunt Vanilla

The family has more than enough every year."

"Second Grandma, you keep the fish and prawns for the New Year... I won't save any food. I have to go to Fourth Grandma's house and bring them some New Year goods. Fourth Grandma and Uncle Er Lai have been here before

I’m in the city, and I don’t know how prepared I am for the Chinese New Year...”

After walking all the way, they finally returned to the fourth grandmother's house in the west of the village. Lin Erhu had just knocked on the door twice when the fourth grandmother's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

"Fourth grandma, it's me and my sister."

"Hey, why are you here so late? Have you eaten?"

As she spoke, Fourth Grandma opened the door, and Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu saw Fourth Grandma in new clothes standing in the door with a smile on her face.

Lin Xiaoman walked into the yard and took off the basket on his back, "I haven't eaten yet. I walked around the village and finally arrived at the Fourth Grandma's house. I just wanted to eat at the Fourth Grandma's house."

The fourth grandma's face smiled even bigger when she heard this, "Chengcheng, fourth grandma is going to fry some of Xiaoman and Erhu's favorite dishes."

When they came back from the city this time, they brought a lot of goods with them. As soon as they entered the village, many people saw her and asked her how much money she made.

Of course, the Fourth Grandma couldn't tell the truth, but she didn't lose any of her wealth and wealth, which made those people envious.

Lin Erlai also heard the sound in the house and walked out on his back. Lin Erhu hurried over and said, "Oops, it's slippery outside. Why did Uncle Erlai come out?"

Lin Erlai didn't come into the snow, he just stood under the eaves and smiled at them, "Didn't I hear you guys coming? I heard that Erhu has been studying with Mr. Xu recently. How are you doing?"

Speaking of this, Lin Erhu looked proud, "Although my husband is as tough as a rock and refuses to praise me for being smart, I know that I am the smartest disciple he has ever taught."

Lin Erlai became energetic as soon as he heard this, "Come on, come in and talk to Uncle Erlai."

Seeing Lin Erlai dragging Lin Erhu into the house, Lin Xiaoman was also curious about where Lin Erhu got his confidence, and followed him into the house.

The Fourth Grandma was proud of Lin Erhu's intelligence, "Oh, we Erhu can't do anything wrong. We are smarter than other children in the village even when we look at it from a young age."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Xiaoman, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "Xiaoman is just a girl. If she were a boy, she would be smarter than Erhu."

Lin Xiaoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the fourth grandma knew how to carry water. Was she afraid that she would be jealous if she praised Erhu?

In the house, Lin Erlai pulled Lin Erhu and said, "I heard from the Xu family that Mr. Xu taught the prince to read in the palace. How can Erhu be smarter than the prince?"

Lin Erhu didn't know this. When Lin Erlai asked him whether he was smarter than the prince, he began to regret that he shouldn't have lied so much. He hesitated and said: "Of course the prince is the smartest. How can I compare with the prince? Even I can do it.

Mr. can’t even solve the questions.”

"Ah? What question can you solve that Mr. Xu can't solve?"

Lin Erhu said: "The other day, Mr. Wang was reading a book on arithmetic. There was a question in it. There was a bucket of water. The bucket weighed 0 kilograms. After half of the water was used up, there was still 14 kilograms in the bucket. How much was in the bucket?

Kilograms of water? How many kilograms does the bucket weigh? I answered immediately after listening to it. The gentleman took a pen to calculate for a long time and still didn’t understand.”

Lin Erlai looked blank, "How many kilograms of water is there? How many kilograms does the bucket weigh? How did you get it up?"

Lin Erhu explained to him, "If you add water to the weight of the bucket and subtract the weight of the remaining half bucket of water and the bucket, you can calculate how many kilograms the half bucket of water has. If you know how many kilograms the half bucket of water has, you can calculate how many kilograms a bucket of water has.

Add the weight of the bucket and subtract the weight of water, don’t you know how much the bucket weighs?”

After listening to Lin Erhu's explanation, Lin Erlai had to figure it out for a while before he finally understood. He looked at Lin Xiaoman with a guilty look in his eyes, "Xiaoman, you can see that Erhu understands it so easily. I'll leave it to you."

When doing the accounting, you have to listen to what he has to say before you can calculate it. I feel sorry for the accountant."

Lin Xiaoman didn't expect that a fourth-grade math question would make their second uncle lose confidence, but if they don't let him manage the accounts, who else can they use? Those in the village who can't even read the words?

"Uncle Erlai, you also heard what Erhu said. Mr. Xu hasn't even calculated it yet. Why don't you help me manage the accounts? Is it possible that I have to find someone better than Mr. Xu?"

Lin Erlai felt that what Lin Xiaoman said was reasonable, and sighed, "Then I will help you manage the accounts. From now on, Erhu will teach Uncle Jiao to settle accounts."

"Okay! If you have nothing to do during the first month of the year, I will come to teach Uncle Erlai in the evening."

The fourth grandma's face was full of joy, "I have long said that Erhu is a capable person, and it seems that I am right this time. Oh, Erhu, you should study hard from now on, Mr. Xu can be a Jinshi

, why can’t you come back with the top score in the exam? The fourth grandma and your second uncle are waiting to enjoy your blessing."

Lin Erhu was confused by the exam and patted his chest and promised, "Fourth Grandma, just wait and see. When I become a high official, I will take Fourth Grandma and Er Lai Shu to enjoy their happiness."

While talking, Lin Xiaoman poured out everything in the basket. In addition to the standard fish and shrimp, Lin Xiaoman also bought two cans of elderly milk powder for the fourth grandma, and poured them out into small clay pots.

"Fourth Grandma, this is the milk powder we bought at the pier. From now on, when we get up early in the morning, mix two spoons of it with water. I heard this is the most nourishing milk."

This was the first time the Fourth Grandma saw this. She picked it up and looked at it again and again. Then she took a small pinch and put it in her mouth to taste it. "It smells really good."

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "There is also a pack of sugar. If Fourth Grandma doesn't like the sweetness, she can just put a spoonful of sugar in it. However, you can't drink more sugar water when you are older. Many rich gentlemen and ladies in the city put sugar in their water all day long.

I have a disease called diabetes mellitus. By the way, don’t always drink the sour plum soup made by my fourth grandma.”
