Take the space to flirt with the daughter-in-law

Seeing Xu Zhengrong go out in the morning, Xu Yao thought that he just wanted to go up the mountain to play on a whim. When it was dark and no one came back, he was a little panicked. After putting a large pot of brown rice porridge on the table , Let Kidou'er lean on the threshold and wait for his uncle to come back.

Now is the time for spring planting, Xu Zhengcai and Xu Zhengyang, as the main labor force in the family, waited until the first month of the first month before returning exhausted.

Before entering the house, he could smell the fragrance of brown rice porridge. Xu Zhengcai put the utensils in his hands against a big tree stump in the corner of the yard, and the little bean didn't dislike the pungent sweat smell of his father. She rushed forward and hugged her thigh tightly, and grandma yelled: "Father!"

Then he smiled sweetly at Xu Zhengyang who was following him: "Second Uncle!"

The child was young, and it was time for him to grow up. If it was this time normally, he would have already eaten and gone to bed. Xu Zhengyang stroked Kidou'er's bun in a strange way: "Our Kidou'er is sensible. Do you know how to go out to meet daddy and second uncle?"

Kidou'er honestly shook her head: "Mother asked me to wait outside, but not for daddy and second uncle, but for my little uncle, who went out early in the morning, and I haven't seen anyone until now, and I don't even have a meal. Didn't even eat it!"

Xu Zhengcai and Xu Zhengyang looked at each other with a faint feeling in their hearts.

The child couldn't speak clearly and couldn't understand, so Xu Zhengcai simply went into the room and asked his wife.

While arranging the bowls and chopsticks, Xu Yao muttered: "He was in a hurry to go out before the sky was brightened, saying that he was going to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt, and that he understood your hard work and wanted to supplement the family more. , I was still thinking about why he suddenly changed his gender, but I haven't seen him back until now..."

Xu Zhengcai's face darkened, and he put down the pottery bowl that Kidou'er handed over: "In spring, the beasts on the mountain are most likely to go crazy, and he acts recklessly. What if something happens on the mountain?!"

As soon as Xu Yao thought it was true, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Just as he was about to ask to go out and look for it, he heard someone's voice in the yard.

When I went out, I saw that it was Xu Zhengrong who had returned late.

Tired after a busy day, Xu Zhengrong took advantage of the moonlight to eat several biscuits by the ridge of the field and came back with a half-full stomach.

Xu Yao looked at Xu Zhengrong's empty-handed look by the dim light, and he had a clear look on his face, so he didn't say much, just wiped his hands, and let him go into the inner room for dinner. .

Seeing him coming in, Xu Zhengcai finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still put on the majesty of a big brother on his face, he coughed twice and reprimanded him with a straight face: "It's the time of spring planting, and the family is very busy, if you are really free If you are bored, why not go to the fields and help me and your second brother, don't just idle around all day and run around the mountains, causing people to worry for no reason!"

The words in his mouth were harsh, but the concern in his eyes could not be faked. Xu Zhengrong didn't mind at all. Instead, he smiled and took out the title hidden in his cuff.

"Brother is wrong this time. This time, he didn't idle around. Instead, he dug up treasures in the mountains!"

Because of his previous convictions, Xu Zhengcai was dubious about what he said, and he and Xu Zhengyang frowned and surrounded him, looking at the title held in Xu Zhengrong's hand for a long time, but couldn't see why.

It is not bad for a farmer to have a full meal on weekdays, but such a precious herb may not be seen once in a lifetime.

Xu Zhengyang looked at the strange appearance of the man, and rarely laughed and said: "Third brother, look at this strange appearance, where did you get the treasure? I'm afraid no one will take it out as a gift?"

Xu Zhengcai had more knowledge than him, pondered for a moment, and suddenly slapped his legs with an "ah": "This, this, this is what the old people said, right?"

In the dim light, I leaned over to look at it several times, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt the same, and I couldn't help but smack my lips: "A long time ago, when there were herb pickers in our village who were active in the mountains, they said that there were people in the mountains, but they didn't. This thing is very evil, it is said that it has aura, and it can run with long legs when it meets people, darling! If you are true, let outsiders know, why don't you trample our mountain?!"

Xu Zhengrong raised his eyebrows proudly, and carefully put down his mouth: "Nine times out of ten, I can't go wrong. I'll go to the pharmacy early tomorrow and ask the pharmacy owner how much this stuff is worth."

He patted the kidney beans who came to join in the fun, and said with a particularly relaxed smile: "When the money is exchanged, let's go to the town to weigh the meat!"

Kidou'er's moist eyes brightened a little when he heard about eating meat.

Xu Zhengcai couldn't see his frightened look, and after looking away, he still poured cold water on his face: "You still call it meat? Are you able to pick up the treasures in the mountains casually? I'm afraid they just look a little similar, nonsense. If you’ve had enough, go to the yard to wash your hands first, drink a bowl of brown rice porridge and go to sleep.”

"Your sister-in-law said that you haven't eaten all day. If you really starve to death, the family doesn't have the spare money for you to see a doctor!"

Xu Zhengrong didn't argue with him, but put the man away lightly, and turned to ask Xu Zhengyang, who was sitting in the corner sipping brown rice porridge: "Second brother, do you want the 20 taels owed to us by the uncle and the second uncle's family?" Are you back yet?"

Xu Zhengyang was drinking porridge and water with his head depressed. He was taken aback by his sudden question and choked several times before raising his head in embarrassment and answering: "I'm coming back, I'm coming back, I haven't seen you since I'm coming back Man, I will put it in your room..."

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Xu Zhengcai suddenly felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask Xu Zhengrong: "You really care about the uncle and the second uncle asking for money?! After all, they are elders... "

Before Xu Zhengcai finished speaking, Xu Zhengrong, who was impatient to continue listening, cut him off: "Elder? What's wrong with elder? Elder can maliciously frame us and force us to take the land deed? If he really took the land deed , our family will starve to death! Brother, people don’t care about our lives anymore, you still call this an elder?”

His big brother is good at everything, but his heart is too soft, especially when facing relatives of flesh and blood, he seems to be very tolerant. This is true for him, and it is also true for the two uncles who rely on the old to sell their elders.

"Furthermore, the 20 taels of silver are testified by the village head and elders. The compensation we need from them is now at a time when we are not receiving it. It is difficult to make a living. The extra 20 taels of silver is just to buy meat in the town. , It’s also good to supplement Kidou’er!”

Xu Zhengcai was left speechless by his words, his thick lips moved, and it took him a long time to sigh: "Forget it, since you have already asked for the money, so be it, this is given to you by the two uncles." Compensation, keep it for yourself, don't waste money like before, you are not too young, you should save some savings, so that you won't be too shabby to ask for a wife in the future."

The meaning in the obedient words is that he has no envy for the silver taels that the third brother got by tricks.

Just because of this point alone, Xu Zhengrong couldn't help but have a better impression of this cheap big brother, and he even spoke a little softer: "20 taels of silver is too much to put all in my place... just go tomorrow Herbs are sold in the town, or if I look at what is missing at home, I will come out halfway and go to the market to buy them."
