Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 13 Suspected Financial Resources
Until the eldest aunt Su Liu'er came back after having a guest meal, Ban Xia was still a little dazed, looking at Su Qian's face, she thought about kitchen knives and chopping boards, and then shivered with aversion to cold.

I can't tell what it feels like.

It doesn't matter if this person is more powerful, life is forced, and people's explosive potential is infinite, but what Ban Xia thinks is that Su Qian is not only powerful, but also a meaty person, like meat on a hob, if possible, Ban Xia wouldn't even think about confronting such a person, but...

Ban Xia smiled wryly, looking at the bare-walled house, the parents who worked day and night and were oppressed, and this family is no longer the same as it used to be. It also has land and money, but it is not the same as my own family. It doesn't seem to have any relationship, but the fifth uncle and Dafang's Yuanfeng can study, but his elder brother can only go to the field. The result of hard work is that he almost loses his son.

Ban Xia squeezed her chin, the opponent is more difficult than imagined, the situation is more severe than imagined.

"Gu Ya'er! This is inedible, spit it out quickly, you are stupid!" Mint's exasperated voice sounded from outside the door.

Ban Xia hurriedly poked her head out to have a look, but saw Yuan Guang was carrying two bundles of firewood, his face was flushed, and he was looking at Gu Ya'er with a smile.

Bo He went to pick Gu Ya'er's mouth, but saw that Gu Ya'er had already spat out the thing, her brows were frowning, "It's not Niu Ganzi from grandma's house."

The Niu Ganzi that Gu Ya'er is talking about is the picked Niu Gan Guo, which is also called bitter before being sweet in some places. This small fruit is very delicious after pickling, no wonder Gu Ya'er is thinking about it.

Looking at her like that, one can't help being handsome.

Yuan Guang patted her head, "Gu Ya'er, look, this is the fruit of the palm tree, it's inedible, the frivolous ones are on the outside, and the succulents are inside, see?"

Gu Ya'er looked at him with big eyes twinkling.

Pinellia is the firewood brought back by Jian Yuanguang. There are indeed a lot of these small fruits stuck on it. It seems that they were brought back to play. What kind of palm tree?That sounds weird.

Mint, who was standing by the side, snorted, "Second brother, you still believe her, she has this problem, stuffing everything into her mouth!"

Gu Ya'er sticks out her tongue, and leans closer to Yuan Guang, not caring about Min He's stare.

"Ah!" Banxia suddenly pulled out a very thin piece of firewood from the firewood, but it was as thick as two fingers, and the surroundings were not smooth.

Her voice trembled a little, Ban Xia knows this thing!Isn't this just cassava stems?Hope rose in my heart, "Brother, this, this, this..."

When I was in a hurry, I stuttered.

Seeing Banxia so excited, Yuan Guang felt a little strange, "Banxia, ​​this is the branch of the palm tree. It grows everywhere and is not resistant to fire. Why did I tie this in?"

It's useless, it grows everywhere, and it's used as firewood?The words one by one shocked Ban Xia, is there any waste of money?

I was quickly calculating how this thing could be used in my heart.

Seeing Mrs. Su Qian's bird-like behavior for a day, Mrs. Zhou finally had an excuse to come out, "I said Yuan Guang, look what kind of firewood you cut back! Can this thing burn well? It takes a lot of work!"

Bo He dislikes Zhou's appearance the most, and she is not afraid of things, "Fourth Aunt, the second brother is out to herd cattle and collect firewood, and the third brother is probably going to catch mice, right?"

Hearing this, Ban Xia deeply agreed, Zhou's own son is not much younger than Yuan Guang, he knows how to play around all day long, he is not like his brother, who is so young that he has to cut firewood Herding cattle, what else would the Zhou family do?
"How big is Yuanwu? Besides, don't look at the number of people in the family, raise a large litter and stop working to feed the poor?" These words are a bit harsh.

Ban Xia looked into her eyes and smiled inwardly, "What is the fourth aunt talking about, what is poverty, grandma is not happy to hear these words."

Mrs. Su Qian hates her daughter-in-law calling her poor the most. If you want to be poor, you have to work more. Money is always in your hands. Hearing Pinellia raising her voice, Mrs. Zhou took a closer look at Mrs. Su Qian's room, " What are you doing so loudly while your grandma is asleep!"

Go away as soon as you finish speaking.

Mint laughed loudly, and looked at Banxia with different eyes, "Banxia, ​​seeing you like this, it's like the said dog has changed from eating shit, it's really changed!"

Ban Xia rolled her eyes, is this a compliment?Why don't I feel happy at all?

But Ban Xia held the cassava stalk in his hand, his eyes sparkled, "Brother, where is this thing?"

"There are a lot of them on the top of the mountain, and no one cares about them, they grow everywhere." Yuan Guang's words made Ban Xia's eyes brighter.

Just as he was about to speak, he thought that this person had mixed eyes.

And Yuan Guang seemed to understand her eyes, and didn't say much. He took apart the firewood and spread it out in a corner of the yard to dry. own house.

Ban Xia Gu Ya'er naturally followed the past, but her purpose was not the same.

Yuan Guang carefully took out a few small chestnut-like fruits from his bosom and spread them on the tree. The fruit was about the size of Gu Ya'er's fingertips. This kind of pinellia was also known. It should be called mountain chestnut or wild chestnut. This place is called bitter mother-in-law.

Yuan Guang didn't do this kind of thing less, as soon as Gu Ya'er got the thing, she used her round fingers to deal with it, but she couldn't peel it off no matter what.

Ban Xia didn't have time to talk to her, and said to Yuan Guang mysteriously, "Brother, I'm rich!"

Hearing what Ban Xia said, Yuan Guang was a little surprised, "How do you know, I go out to herd cattle and pick this wild chestnut for others, look——"

There are a few copper plates lying in the palm of his hand, while Yuan Guang's hand is full of small stab wounds.

This wild chestnut is much smaller than the chestnut, and the outside is covered with thorns. Yuan Guang bought this for money, looking at the three copper coins in his palm, Ban Xia's eye sockets felt hot.

Seeing Ban Xia's appearance, Yuan Guang hurriedly gave her three coins, "We also have money, and I will buy you flowers and clothes next time."

Even the younger brother knows how to make the family save a little, father and mother, hey...

Adjust your mood, "Brother, when shall we go to the mountain and see the palm tree you mentioned?"

Yuan Guang didn't think about it, and it happened that there was nothing wrong, Ban Xia was relieved to let her elder sister Wu Mei take Gu Ya'er, and took the small handful of wild chestnuts by the way, so she found an opportunity to sneak out with Yuan Guang.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, when we climbed up the weedy ridge, we could see scattered so-called palm trees, which grew very scattered, and there were palm-like leaves withered and yellow on them.

Pinellia blinked its starry eyes, what kind of leaf is this, it is so bright, it is like silver!
She raised her head and laughed a few times, and was about to rush over.

Instead, Yuan Guang was taken aback.
