Chapter 54 Honey
The orange halo shone on Tong Zhi'er's face, Tong Zhaofu looked up at her and blinked.

"Let's go home quickly, don't make parents and sisters wait in a hurry." Rubbing Tong Zhaofu's soft hair, Tong Zhi'er took his hand and walked towards home.

Taking a bite of the hard steamed bun and chewing it into pieces, Tong Zhi'er squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

Tong Zhaofu glanced at her secretly, and was very happy in his heart.

"Father, mother, we are back——"

Tong Zhaofu ran back into the house and said loudly.

As soon as the younger son came back, Fang Cuiwei immediately took out the honey and stuffed it into his hand, "Ah Fu, this is the first good thing your second sister found today, you should try it too."

Tong Zhaofu, who had been imagining it in his heart for a long time, took it happily, opened it, and turned his head to look at Tong Zhi'er in surprise.

"You are the only one at home who has never tasted it, don't be in a daze, eat it quickly."

At this time, Tong Zhixin waved to Tong Zhi'er.

Tong Zhi'er walked over and obediently called out, "Father."

"Zhi'er, Dad asks you, how many beehives are there in the forest?"

Could it be that Tong Zhixin is going to get honey in the woods?

Tong Zhi'er also knows the value of honey, if with Tong Zhixin's help, he can get more honey, the family can earn a fortune.

Immediately, Tong Zhi'er told Tong Zhixin how many beehives there were in the forest.

Tong Zhaofu, who was licking honey, also came over, looked at Tong Zhi'er eagerly, and said, "Second Sister, I want to go too."

"Good Fu, you still have to go to a private school to study tomorrow. After the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the second sister will take you there."

With Tong Zhi'er's guarantee, Tong Zhaofu felt at ease and nodded happily.

In the early morning of the next day, Tong Zhixin was the first one to go out after breakfast, and went to the woods as Tong Zhi'er said, and he found a lot of beehives.

Tong Zhi was naturally overjoyed in his confidence.

He went around to pick up firewood, placed them under the hive one by one, took out a firefly and lit it, and in an instant, billowing thick smoke wrapped the hive, and the bees who were threatened by their survival ran out of the hive crazily, Tong Zhixin had been prepared for a long time , quickly ran elsewhere.

The forest is full of trees, covering the sky and the sun, and the smoke spreads in the forest, but no one notices it.

"Father——" Tong Zhi'er and Tong Duo'er who came to hunt pigweed also came into the forest, and the young Tong Zhu'er watched Tong Cui'er who was tied up outside.

In order to save trouble, Tong Zhi'er suggested that Tong Cui'er should be tied up altogether.

With what happened yesterday, the kind-hearted Tong Duo'er naturally has no objection. As for Tong Zhu'er, the person she admires most now is Tong Zhi'er. She will do what Tong Zhi'er says.

Hearing Tong Duo'er's voice, Tong Zhixin called out: "I'm here, you two come quickly."

"Sister, there are a lot of bees, let's hide them quickly—"

Pulling Tong Duo'er who was about to go to Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhi'er immediately took off the coat, put it on the two of them, and ran quickly to the bushes.

Tong Zhi, who was hiding on the other side, was anxious in confidence, "Did you two get stung by bees?"

"Dad, don't worry, we're fine."

Hearing the answer, Tong Zhi was relieved in confidence.It's almost time for a stick of incense, but those bees are still searching desperately, biting on this piece.

"Okay, you can come out," Tong Zhixin, who came out of the bushes after waiting for a while, found that the bees were much less, and said to Tong Zhi'er and Tong Duo'er.

Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhi'er came out, looking at Tong Zhixin excitedly.

Tong Zhi was also very excited in his confidence. With so many hives, he would definitely be able to get a lot of honey.

He walked to a beehive and reached out to pick off the blackened beehive. Unexpectedly, dozens of bees flew out of the beehive and stinged at several people frantically.

Tong Zhixin held Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhi'er in his arms, while waving the wooden stick and quickly went to the hiding place before.

Looking at the bulging bumps on Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhi'er's faces, Tong Zhi's confidence felt a little uncomfortable, and it was all his own carelessness.He looked helplessly at the bees screaming wildly outside, and thought: All my efforts have been wasted.

"Zhier, what are you doing?"

Hearing the sound of tearing, Tong Zhixin turned his head and watched Tong Zhi'er tearing his clothes strangely.

"Father, look at me."

After today's experience, Tong Zhi'er has fully understood the stubbornness of these bees. If she hadn't followed the practice of watching her brother dig out honeycombs, she would not have gotten honey.

These bees are so tight that they are not afraid of smoke and fire. She wrapped the hive with cloth to completely isolate the possibility of oxygen entering, and then knocked them all down.

When the bees outside stopped, Tong Zhi'er came out from the bush, Tong Zhixin and Tong Duo'er watched as she wrapped the hive with the cloth that had been torn up earlier.Although they had doubts in their hearts, they followed Tong Zhi'er's practice and wrapped the other hives in cloth.

After finishing these, Tong Zhi'er asked Tong Zhixin to get some firewood, piled them under the hive, and lit them one by one.

In the burning flames, Tong Zhixin heard the sound of honey bumping against the cloth gradually subsided, and felt a lot more at ease.

After waiting for about half an hour, Tong Zhixin and Bu picked off the hives one by one, while Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhi'er piled up the hives he picked off.

There are fifty honeycombs in total, the big ones are as big as a ten-pound watermelon cut open, and the small ones are about the size of two palms put together.

Tong Zhixin rubbed his hands, took out the sharp knife sharpened last night, took out a honeycomb and cut it off.The bright honey is presented in front of everyone as the hive is divided into two.Cutting, scraping, buckling, prying... Tong Zhixin carefully dug out the honey in one piece.

An hour later.

Looking at the 48 complete pieces of honey piled up, Tong Zhixin smiled from ear to ear.

"Father, if these honeys are sold, how much will there be?"

Tong Duoer asked as if in a dream.

"It should be quite a lot. Let's go home and let your mothers have a look." Tong Zhixin put the honey into the cloth and packed it up.

"Father, you can't take it home. If you take it home, grandma will know about it. Otherwise, we will waste all our efforts." Tong Zhixin came home with a bag of things on his back, so conspicuous, how could the old lady not know?

The excited Tong Zhixin was reminded by Tong Zhi'er, and he also realized it. Indeed, if the mother knew that it was honey, she must take it. At that time, it is still unknown whether they can have the fourth wife.

"Zhier, what do you say?"

Tong Zhi'er was also a little worried.

If it is placed in the wild, other animals will steal it if it is not kept neat. After all, the fragrance of 48 whole pieces of honey is very attractive.But if it's not in the wild, where else can she put it.Would it be great if I knew someone reliable?

Reliable people...

A figure immediately appeared in Tong Zhi'er's mind.
