Chapter 18 200 taels of silver
Xie Wuyu just put his hand on the small door and before he could push it open, he looked up and saw her father approaching her aggressively. He froze for a moment, but he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he just stood there and watched. Xie Gui frowned and opened the door.

"Father..." I don't know why I was a little nervous, it was a strange feeling.

Xie Gui lowered his head and stared at his precious daughter, pursed his lips tightly and hesitated to speak, and finally only choked out a sentence, "Come in."

Xie Wuyu glanced at him, tugged on the strap of his small back basket and entered the house.

Xie Wuji and Xie Wuyou had already sat down at the table, and they were all staring down at the plate of wild vegetables and rice noodles on the table. Xie Wuyu opened his eyes slightly, and looked back to see Mrs. Li came in from the door, holding a pot of thin porridge in her hand.

"Little fish is back." Li Shi put the basin on the table, "Get off the basket soon, wash your hands and eat."

"Oh." Xie Wuyu put the basket in the corner, washed his hands in the basin again, and asked Li Shi hesitantly, "Mother, what's wrong with Dad?"

Mrs. Li glanced at Xie Gui who just walked in, "Hmph, I'm just free."

Xie Gui's face froze, and his eyes signaled the child's mother to save him some face in front of the child.

Li Shi pursed her lips and smiled, ignored him and went to serve porridge for the twins instead.

Xie Gui sat down at the table, and when he was about to say something, Li's elbow poked his head and saw him, his expression was not very good.

Mrs. Li whispered: "Eat first, there is no one to talk about things while eating."

Xie Gui was a little aggrieved, but after taking a look at the three children who were eating, he felt that what the lady said was right, so he could only pick up the porridge bowl and take a sip.Unexpectedly, the porridge was very hot when it was just out of the pot. As soon as the porridge was burnt, my face turned red.

Due to the majesty of being a father, Xie Gui insisted on not spitting it out, so he blushed and moved his mouth a few times to swallow it.

Xie Wuyou lowered his small head but couldn't hide his eyes from looking at Xie Gui. He endured the hard work with a smile, and everyone else was the same. Xie Gui felt that his father's face not only failed to stand up, but also seemed to have collapsed a lot , looking at his wife with aggrieved eyes.

"It deserves it." Li picked up a chopstick of wild vegetables and put them in his bowl, "Hurry up and eat, isn't there something else to do?"

Xie Gui came back to his senses, and signaled Xie Wuyu to be careful with his eyes, and they will settle accounts after dinner.

Xie Wuyu: "..."

Glancing at the wild vegetables on the table, he tentatively picked up a chopstick for his father. His father looked at the vegetables in the bowl with an inscrutable and meaningful expression.

"..." Xie Wuyu was confused, and looked at the more reliable Xie Wuji with doubts in his eyes.Xie Wuji lowered his head and bulged his cheeks, making Xie Wuyu even more puzzled.

Fortunately, Xie Wuji was really reliable, he almost revealed two useful information with his breath so low that he could only read his lips.

—On the hill, wild child.

Xie Wuyu suddenly realized that this was the matter.Just what happened to this thing?She remembered that Xie Gui was different from Li Shi, and she didn't seem to have any prejudice against Xiaopoor, such as being unlucky or colliding.Why does she look very angry today? Is it because she came back too late?Or is it because she didn't pick anything today?
No, there is also ginseng!

At this time, Xie Wuyu realized that he had forgotten about ginseng, he was really big-hearted, he could forget such an important thing, he really convinced himself.

It happened that everyone had almost finished eating, Xie Gui put down the bowl and took a look at Xie Wuyu's bowl, it was very good, after eating, we can start to get down to business.

Xie Gui showed a satisfied smile. Just when he was about to speak, Xie Wuyu suddenly stood up and walked towards the back basket in the corner. Something bigger than her two hands stood in front of her.

"Father, I dug this up on the mountain today. I was too young to understand it, but I thought it should be worth a lot, so I took it back."

"..." Xie Gui opened his mouth and swallowed hard, his eyes seemed to be a little dazzled, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly to Mrs. Li, "Baby and mother, come and see if I'm dazzled , otherwise how did you see such a big ginseng?"

Mrs. Li was also a little dazed, but it was much better than Xie Gui's situation. She quickly walked to the door that was still open, held the two doors with both hands, poked her head to look outside cautiously, and then closed the door lightly. close.

Xie Gui had already put the ginseng in Xie Wuyu's hand on the table, and for this reason he also moved all the unfinished dishes to the ground.

The whole family silently stared at the ginseng tree with fresh soil on it. Xie Gui felt his throat was a little dry, so he cleared his throat to try not to lose his composure, "You just said that this is you on the mountain Did you dig it?"

"Well," Xie Wuyu nodded, thought for a while and added, "I walked a little far today."

Xie Gui asked, "Do you remember where exactly?"

Xie Wuyu glanced at him, "I remember, but I don't know how to say it."

"then you……"

Xie Gui was interrupted by Mrs. Li before he finished speaking, "How long does it take for the girl to recover from her illness, how do you know where there is on the mountain?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Xie Wuyu and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyu, was there anyone around when you were digging?"

"No." Xie Wuyu shook his head, "It's just me."

"Oh, oh." Li Shi nodded absently, "Then, how did you find out?"

Xie Wuyu had prepared his speech a long time ago, so he was not afraid of them asking: "I went up the mountain today to get familiar with the area of ​​Beishan. I accidentally passed by and saw a few cassia trees in the mountain. I know Cassia seed is a herbal medicine, so I wanted to pick some and bring it home. I didn’t expect to stumble over another grass, and then I found some roots growing under the soil. Didn’t my uncle send a small ginseng here? I think it’s like It was dug out."

"You can look here," Xie Wuyu pointed to the leaves at the top of the ginseng and pointed them out to several people, mainly to Xie Gui and Li Shi, "This is the leaf that accidentally tripped over me and I broke it. "

Xie Gui and Li Shi looked at it, it was a reasonable process, so the tension and disbelief in their eyes subsided a lot.

When a person encounters a windfall, it is not ecstasy at the first moment, it is more unbelievable, doubting whether he has read or heard wrongly, doubting whether he is dreaming, this is very normal, what Xie Wuyu has to do is To dispel their doubts, try to make them believe that this ginseng is really their lucky encounter with a pie from heaven.

Xie Gui is still in a daze, but Li Shi has already turned a thousand times in his heart, and his eyes gradually revealed unbelievable joy.

"This, this is true." Li grabbed Xie Gui's hand, not even noticing that her long nails left a red scratch on it.

Xie Gui also came back to his senses at this time, he didn't feel the inconspicuous wound on his hand at all, he only knew that there was a big ginseng tree in front of him, and his family was going to be rich hahaha.

"It's true." Xie Wuyu sighed, expressing his understanding, and then asked innocently, "Auntie, is this ginseng? Some dare not admit it.”

Xie Gui picked up Xie Wuyu and held it high in the air, spun around fiercely in the air, hugged him in his arms and laughed heartily: "Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu, you are really Daddy's little lucky star."

Mrs. Li patted his arm and cursed in a low voice: "You're going to die, are you so loud that others can't hear you?"

"Hey, isn't this very happy." Xie Gui put down Xie Wuyu, Xie Wuyu took a breath and settled down before looking at Xie Gui and Li Shi: "So, this is very valuable, isn't it?"

"It's more than valuable." Xie Gui put his arms around Xie Wuyu and kissed her on the top of her head, and then hugged the dazed but happy twins, "Come on, tell me how big a house you want to live in in the future?"

Xie Wuji was still a little dazed, he knew about ginseng, and he knew that ginseng was very expensive, but he didn't know what the tree brought back by his sister in front of him meant, but he could vaguely feel that life at home might change a little because of it.

He smiled shyly, "I want a house where my sister can live by herself. The doctor said that my sister needs to rest."

Not only Xie Gui, but even Xie Wuyu was a little surprised.She always knew that Xie Wuji was the most obedient and sensible among the twins, but she never thought that he was so sensible.Xie Gui's question was just out of curiosity, even if Xie Wuji answered that he wanted to live in a big house by himself, everyone would think Tong Yan Wuji was cute and gratifying.

Xie Wuji only said that he wanted to leave a house for Xie Wuyu. Xie Gui suddenly remembered that when he was in the old house, the twins lived in the same room. Men and women are different, and it is not a solution after a long time.

Xie Gui felt that he still owed a few children, maybe Li Shi also thought of this, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Xie Wuyu's heart was sour and swollen, this feeling was very strange, but somehow it made people feel warm.It's like taking a sip of hot water in winter, it can directly burn people's hearts and warm them all over the body.

"Father," Xie Wuyou suddenly called out, "Is it because we are going to live in a new house?"

"Yes." Xie Gui nodded, wiped his face and said loudly.

Xie Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then happily counted his fingers and asked: "Is it still possible to wear new clothes?"

Xie Gui replied loudly: "Yes."

"Can I eat meat every day?"

"can."

"Can I send my brother to school?"

"deliver."

"Then can I eat candy every day?" Xie Wuyou asked loudly, Xie Gui almost answered out of habit, fortunately, his reason is still there.

"This may not work."

Xie Wuyou lowered her head in disappointment, Xie Gui patted her head to comfort her: "If you eat too much sugar, your teeth will be broken. Wuyou looks so beautiful, what should I do if my teeth are broken and don't look good?"

Xie Wuyou was frightened, covered his mouth and hid behind Li Shi, saying that he didn't want his broken teeth to become stinky.

In the end, Xie Gui drove a few children to the house to go to sleep early. Xie Wuyu heard the husband and wife discussing in low voices that this ginseng is estimated to be worth 200 taels of silver, which is enough for them to hurry up and build a nice house, and send Xie Wuji away by the way. Went to school.

Only then did Xie Wuyu feel relieved, feeling that it was about the same as his prediction.Just before going to sleep, I don't know why Xie Gui yelled loudly, as if he forgot something and was in annoyance.
