peasant girl

Chapter 463, I have something on my mind (tx27 more

After dinner, everyone stayed. Tu Wan and the uncle agreed at the dinner table that the remaining meat would be marinated by the uncle, but it would be made into bacon. Sorry for the trouble, uncle.

"You don't need to give the pork leg, just leave it to the uncle if it's a big deal!" The uncle said so, still feeling happy in his heart.

It doesn't matter if you work hard, the most important thing is the two pig legs. Others are envious, but he feels comfortable in his heart.

Without a daughter, he also enjoys the blessing of this half-son-in-law.

"I still have to give the pork leg, just treat me and Jiao Niang as filial uncle, uncle don't want to refuse!"

"This..." Uncle hesitated for a moment, "Okay, you can leave it to me, I will keep the bacon and prepare it for you, and you can eat it during the Chinese New Year!"

It is now November and a half, and there is still one and a half months before the New Year. The uncle couldn't help but ask, "Tu Wan, your house, I think those people are very busy these days. If it is repaired a year ago, what is the relationship between you and Jiaoniang?" Chinese New Year on the mountain, or come down the mountain?"

"Come to the foot of the mountain, and then we will live at the foot of the mountain!" Tu Wan said softly,
He glanced at Xu Jiaoniang.

Seeing her smiling, Tu Wan also smiled, feeling very good.

He doesn't want much, just a family and someone who knows the cold and the hot.

"That's fine, then when the New Year's Eve dinner comes over, you two don't have to do it!" said the uncle.

Tu Wan thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay!"

He likes his uncle's house, which is lively and harmonious.

Especially the children, they are very kind to Jiaoniang, and they shout sweetly to each little girl.

Tu Wanyou told his uncle that he had hunted a roe deer, but he did not sell it when he was pregnant with the cub. He planned to raise it by himself and sell it when the cub was older. He wanted to ask his uncle to buy some sweet potatoes.

The uncle immediately asked Xu Han to put on a bag, "There are not many sweet potatoes at home, let Xu Han and the others send you some to the mountains tomorrow, and if you have more, you have to ask the villagers to buy them, so I don't need to pay for them here." !"

The sweet potatoes were given to Tu Wan, so the pigs in the family had nothing to eat, so they had to hunt pigweed.

In such a cold day, it is still very hard to go outside to hunt pigweed.

"Uncle, you said that sweet potatoes don't need money, so I'm not too polite. When the deer is born, I will give uncle one so that I can keep it alive. I will sell it next year, and I can sell it for a lot of money!"

"How much silver can I have?" the uncle asked softly.

The uncles nearby all pricked up their ears, "Four 50 taels, I have a way, uncle takes care of it, and I'll help you sell it when the time comes!"

"Suck……"

The uncle gasped.

The eyes of the uncles and cousins ​​nearby were all red.

"Tu Wan, can you sell me a little roe deer then?"

"Tu Wan, give me a small roe too, how much money do you want?"

Hearing this, Tu Wan felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, I don't know how many will be born. Even if I want to sell it, I have to be a little bigger. I have to raise it for a month or two. During this two months, many things will happen. After a month or two, it will be gone. If you are alive, it counts as five taels of silver, if you want it, I will sell it to you, but there is no certain number of deer, so you can't hurt your relationship because of this!"

As soon as they heard five taels of silver, several companies retreated.

As Tu Wan said, there have been major changes in the past two months, let alone a year.

Five taels of silver is not a small amount. It is enough for the family's expenses for a year. If you are more frugal, five taels of silver a year will not be used.

But I dare not take five taels of silver to block them. After thinking about it carefully, there are a few companies that have withdrawn. They can really spend five taels of silver to buy a deer. Very few.

The uncle swallowed his saliva, "Tu Wan, uncle doesn't want it either!"

"Uncle, don't worry, it's not sure if there will be one by then, anyway, there is one for uncle, don't blame if there is no uncle!"

Uncle thought about it carefully, "Then, let's talk about it later, uncle will give you five taels of silver!"

Tu Wan smiled, shook his head, and told his uncle that he wanted some straw, and the uncle promised to let his brother and the others send one up the mountain tomorrow.

Tu Wan responded with a smile.

He didn't really want five taels of silver, but he just didn't want people to think he was being taken advantage of.

Small things don't matter, but this roe deer is a rare item, so I really can't just give it away casually.

Seeing that it was getting late, and they couldn't stay at the foot of the mountain for long, lest the road up the mountain would be difficult, Tu Wan and Xu Jiaoniang stood up and said goodbye.

Xu Jiaoniang called two dogs, and Tu Wan left Xujia Village with sweet potatoes on his back.

Along the way, the two talked slowly.

Xu Jiaoniang was in a good mood and smiled very happily. Seeing that she was happy, Tu Wan was also happy.

The two dogs are bouncing around in front, because they eat well and grow really fast.

After returning home, Tu Wan went to boil water, while Xu Jiaoniang sat on the sidelines playing with the dog and feeding the roe deer.

Throwing a few sweet potatoes to it, the deer ate very happily, Xu Jiaoniang changed the water for it again, the female deer was a little scared at first, but now the deer is not afraid of Xu Jiaoniang, maybe because she thinks she will not hurt it and its stomach in the baby.

After washing their face and feet, the two talked on the kang...

Down the mountain.

The aunt looked at the meat in the big wooden barrel, "These two are also very brave, are you afraid that we will get a few pieces of meat?"

Uncle laughed, "Would you?"

"Of course not. If I want to say it in a fair and honest way, I won't be able to do such black-hearted things!"

"That's it, hurry up and go to bed, wake up early tomorrow, you go get some vegetables and radishes, and let Dahan and the others bring them together. Tu Wan lived alone in the early years, and Jiao Niang was not in good health. I'm afraid I didn't grow any vegetables, even if I did, it would grow slowly in such a cold weather, anyway, I have some at home, give them some!"

"I know, I want you to tell me!" The auntie snorted, went to fetch hot water, and asked the uncle to wash his face and feet.

After the uncle washed his feet, he went to pour the footwashing water by himself, and then brought in hot water, let the uncle wash it, and when the uncle finished washing, "You go to the kang to warm the bed, and I will pour the footwashing water!"

"understood!"

It's been like this for many years, and she was asked to warm the bed because she was actually afraid that she would go outside to blow the cold wind.

This old man said he was good to her when he proposed to her, but he persisted for decades.

Husband and wife, the relationship is still very good.

At daybreak, Tu Wan got up and boiled water for breakfast. After breakfast, he took tools and went into the mountain.

Xu Jiaoniang knew that her three elder brothers were coming to the mountains, so she didn't stay idle.

Go to the pot to cook red bean soup, cut meat to make buns, and stew marinated pheasant in the pot.

Hearing the barking of two dogs, Xu Jiaoniang walked to the door of the kitchen, saw Xu Han taking the lead, carrying two boxes of sweet potatoes, and hurriedly shouted, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother!"

Although he is not a real brother, his relationship is very good.

Since childhood, these three cousins ​​have been kind to her, but now that they have become real brothers, they are much better.

"Jiaoniang!" Xu Han laughed.

Second brother Xu Chong also chuckled, "Jiao Niang!"

The third brother Xu Mo was a lot shy, and also called softly, "Jiao Niang!"

Put down the sweet potatoes, straw, vegetables, and radishes that you brought.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you have worked hard, wash your hands first, I made red bean soup, you have a bowl first, it's hot!"

After Xu Jiaoniang finished speaking, she wanted to go to the kitchen to fetch water, but Xu Han followed, "Jiaoniang, elder brother do it yourself!"

Xu Han has been to the mountains before, so he knows that there is everything at home.

The second and third brothers came here for the first time, and they were very curious.

After washing their hands and drinking the red bean soup, Xu Jiaoniang put melon seeds and peanuts on the table. After they caught the melon seeds, they went to see the roe deer.

Xu Han is the eldest brother, he is steady after all. He watched Xu Jiaoniang make buns in the kitchen and talked with Xu Jiaoniang, "Jiaoniang, there is no need to prepare lunch!"

"Look what elder brother said, I actually have something to talk to elder brother!" Xu Jiaoniang said softly.

I also know that the three elder brothers must have something to say, otherwise the second and third brothers would not have grabbed the melon seeds and left.

Xu Jiaoniang guessed that she probably wanted to go hunting in the mountains with Tu Wan, but she was hesitant about how to speak.

Auntie's family was really nice to her, and Xu Jiaoniang didn't expect to ask for too much, and she didn't feel at ease when Tu Wan went to the mountains alone.

After wrapping the buns and putting them on the steamer, Xu Jiaoniang sat next to her elder brother Xu Han, "Brother!"

"Ok?"

"Didn't you and the second and third brothers go to work in the town?"

"I didn't go. I helped with the work at home. I cut some firewood in the mountains and dried it to sell the firewood next year. It's much better than going to the town to work!" Xu Han said with a smile.

He moved his mouth, but didn't say anything.

"But Dabao and Xiaobao have reached the age of enlightenment, isn't the family planning to send them to the husband to enlighten them?"

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Han sighed, "I really thought about it, but the three children in the family are all the same age, so it's definitely not enough to give away one. It will cost a few taels of silver to send the three to Shuxiu in a year, and a few taels of silver if you add pen, ink and rice paper." , the family is having a good time these days, but they haven't saved much money, so I'm also worried about this!"

Xu Jiaoniang looked at Xu Han and smiled, "So I want to talk to my eldest brother, since you, second brother, and third brother are all at home, why not go hunting in the mountains with Tu Wan, if you are lucky in this hunting, you will meet a rare prey , earn more money than you earn in a year, even if you don’t catch any prey, it’s the same when you cut firewood and go back, brother, what do you think?”

In her memory, Tu Wan never came back empty-handed.

It's either a pheasant or a hare. Sometimes when you hunt a wild boar, you can't meet the prey, so you don't want to go in vain.

Now she has saved more than 200 taels of silver in her hands, which is not counted by Tu Wan's extravagant spending.

"Will Tu Wanneng agree?" Xu Han asked in a low voice.

After all, it was Xu Jiaoniang who kissed him, and he didn't want to create a rift between Xu Jiaoniang and Tu Wan because of her natal family.

"He will agree. With you guys, he will be safe in the mountains. I don't have to worry about him being alone in the mountains all the time. If there is an accident, there will be no one to take care of him. No one knows yet..."

Tu Wan didn't care so much when he didn't have feelings before, but now that he has feelings, Xu Jiaoniang thinks more.

"Then, when he comes back later, you can ask him in a low voice first, if he agrees, then talk, if he doesn't agree, elder brother won't take it to heart!" Xu Han said.

In the end, she was still thinking about Xu Jiaoniang.

Xu Jiaoniang nodded, "I listen to Big Brother!"

As for Tu Wan, knowing that his three uncles were coming to the house, he didn't go to the deep mountains. He hunted a few pheasants, and the hares drove back.

The second elder brother Xu Chong and the third elder brother Xu Mo looked at them, and immediately felt a little envious, "Tu Wan!" Both of them shouted together.

"Second brother, third brother!" Tu Wan shouted and smiled heartily.

Sincerity and falsehood can be felt in many cases.

Tu Wan is sincere.

"Jiaoniang must be delicious!" Tu Wan laughed.

I am used to the taste of having a bowl of hot food when I come home, and I am even deeply obsessed with it.

"Jiaoniang made buns and cooked red bean soup!" Xu Chong said, stepping forward to help Tu Wan catch the prey.

The two dogs jumped up and down in front of Tu Wan.

Tu Wan patted their heads, "Go ahead, I'll give you meat buns later!"

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Second brother, third brother, it's cold outside, let's go in!"

"It's not cold, we look at that deer, I'm afraid it's about to give birth!" Xu Chong said in a low voice.

"Ah?" Tu Wan was surprised. He didn't understand these things, so he hurriedly asked, "Second brother understands these?"

"I don't really understand it. I have delivered sows before, so I know a little bit!"

"Then get ready!"

This deer is worth living, but it has to grow up slowly from a cub.

If you are not careful, you will die, so be careful.

Hearing what Tu Wan said, Xu Chong, Xu Mo, and Xu Han hurriedly began to help tie the straw again, spread the straw flat, and strung it through the middle with bamboo wire to make it into pieces.

Xu Jiaoniang took the opportunity to call Tu Wan into the kitchen, "You wash up first, drink a bowl of red bean soup, I have something to tell you!"

"Success!" Tu Wan hurriedly washed his hands, drank a bowl of hot and sweet red bean soup, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I don't feel at ease when you go hunting in the mountains alone. I told my elder brother to see if they can go with you!" Bao and the others are so well-behaved. When they saw me, they would call out to their aunts. They have also reached the age of enlightenment. If I give money directly, it is not good at all. The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are all honest, hardworking people, let them follow you Go hunting in the mountains, and earn some money for the children, do you think so?"

Tu Wan heard the words.

I don't think it's a big problem.

But she raised her face to Xu Jiaoniang, "Kiss me once, and I will agree!"

Xu Jiaoniang was taken aback, but she kissed Tu Wan's face, and cursed, "You're blinded by sex!" But she blushed first.
