At night, it began to snow. The snow, falling on the ground, turned into water.

Tie Kui said: "Dad, it's snowing. Let's not go down the mountain again!" For more than half a month, Tiehu has been as busy as a top. Tiekui is really worried that he will be tired.

Iron Tiger looked at the ground and said with a smile, "I'll go to the mountains tomorrow. If you get something wild, go again. If not, we won't go down the mountain. " Light snow is not afraid, but heavy snow. It's not easy to go down the mountain when it's snowed.

Fortunately, the next day the tiger met a lone bull. With great effort, the Iron Tiger hunted him. Clean up, there are more than 400 Jin of meat. Left about a quarter at home, the others and tie Kui went down the mountain to sell.

When the news came that Donghu people had entered the pass, most of them slaughtered or sold their livestock. Keep them and spoil the food. And how can people raise livestock when they have no food to eat. In winter, the meat can be preserved until the snow melts in March next year, so now the meat is very popular. The price is much higher than that of grain. Ordinary people can't afford it at all. Rao is so, as long as there is meat on the market, it will soon be looted. Chen Ji shop got the wild things sent by Iron Tiger and didn't sell them at all.

The shopkeeper settled the account directly at the market price, deducted the Commission, handed the 23 Liang silver to Tiehu, and then said with a smile, "Dahu, no matter how much you give me, I can sell it for you." He didn't sell the meat in the town, but sent it to the county. Now it's cold and the meat is not afraid of bad. In the county, the price is 20% higher than that in the town.

Iron Tiger shook his head and said: "it's snowing outside. We can't go down the mountain any more. This should be the last time."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "then you will send more wild animals in the spring of next year. You can rest assured that you will get a good price." By the beginning of next spring, he won't be able to just draw Commission.

Iron Tiger know this good things can not always have, very readily should: "good."

On the way back, tie Kui asked, "Daddy, how much money have we saved now?"

Iron Tiger said: "saved 136 Liang silver." When he said this, a smile appeared on Tiehu's face.

In the first two years, except for the purchase of daily necessities and fine grain, other money was saved. But it took two years to save twenty-eight taels of silver. But this year, I saved 108 taels of silver. In fact, the grain and meat sold in the past half a month alone were worth ninety Liang silver.

Tie Kui thought the silver was too little: "Daddy, we're going to move down the mountain. First, we have to buy a piece of land to build a house. In addition, we have to buy some fields, so we don't have to buy food all the time., I'm afraid the silver is not enough. " More than one hundred taels of silver sounds like a lot, but this silver is useless.

Tiehu said with a smile: "I'm from Tiejia village. I don't need to buy the foundation. Just ask the village head to grant us a piece of land. As for the house, we can solve the problems of timber by ourselves. " That's a lot less cost.

Tie Kui has his idea: "Daddy, since we want to build a house, naturally we need to build a big blue brick house. Such a house is not only elegant but also comfortable to live in. "

Tiehu laughed: "OK, we'll build a big blue brick house, and we'll build six rooms. When you get married and have children, you won't worry about no place to live. " From tiekui to Tiejia, Tiehu is full of energy. No longer like before, every day from morning to night busy but can not see a little hope, there is just endless fatigue.

Tie Kui didn't answer with a smile. In fact, he made up his mind to let Chunni recruit her son-in-law. In today's world, as long as the conditions are good, even a son-in-law can be selected. To condition is not good, can only choose crooked melon crack jujube. So building a good house is the first step. Next, we have to buy land. Just these words, he just thought in his heart but didn't say them.

Father and son were very lucky. It snowed heavily in the evening when they got home. The next day, the snow accumulated to tie Kui's knee.

It's impossible to go out in such a heavy snow.

Tie Kui suggested: "father and mother, let's eat hot pot at night!" On such a cold day, it's very exciting to have a hot hot pot. And the whole family is eating together, and the atmosphere is very good.

Kim thinks it's too expensive.

Results did not wait for him to speak, iron tiger said with a smile: "good, eat pot at night."

Chunni agreed. From the beginning of spring until now, in addition to the Mid Autumn Festival rest day, other times have been busy. Even at night, there are many things to do. However, both sisters are sensible, even if they are tired, they don't complain.

The main course of beef bone soup is wild beef, as well as Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts, mushrooms, fungus, pumpkin, yam and other dishes.

This evening, the whole family, including Kim, had a round stomach.

When cleaning up the dishes, Kim couldn't help muttering: "it's too expensive to eat food and vegetables like this." At noon, I ate more than ten jin of meat and a lot of vegetables. These things have been enough for several days.

After making so much money, Tiehu was in a good mood these days. After hearing this, he said, "it's not everyday, just occasionally. Besides, I'm so tired that it's not for their sister and brother. Otherwise, I'll get up in the morning and work in the dark. " It's mainly for tie Kui. He is more tired now, and his son will be more relaxed later.

Kim didn't dare to say anything.

There is so much missing in the family that Kim's heart murmurs. She didn't dare to ask Tiehu, so she asked Tiehu in private: "kuizi, tell my mother, how much money have you sold these days?"

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I don't know. No matter how much money you sell, my mother, my father will use it at home. " Iron Tiger is not like Kim. He works so hard for the family and creates better living conditions for his children.

Kim was a little disappointed: "he even kept it from you." The son is the hope of their husband and wife for the rest of their life. Unexpectedly, the husband doesn't even tell his son.

Tie Kui said after hearing the words: "Aung, you are wrong. My father didn't tell me, because he thought I was too young to do anything

Kim's face is a little chatty.

Tie Kui thought about it and said, "Aung, those people in the Jin family are all vampires. Don't associate with them in the future."

After hearing this, Kim was very angry: "how can you say such a thing? The Kim family is your family."

"Aung, the Jin family sold you to my father for 30 liang of silver. At that time, when he gave money, he said he would not recognize this relative. Aung, our brothers and sisters have nothing to do with the Jin family. " Fortunately, my father didn't recognize them. Otherwise, they would be bored by such shameless and insatiable foreigners.

Kim's tears brush down: "how can it not matter? Kuizi, that's your grandmother and uncle. "

Tiekui knew that he couldn't reason with the Jin family, so he said directly: "Aung, if you still miss this family and our three brothers and sisters, don't walk with the Jin family any more. Otherwise, I'll annoy my father, and we can't stop him from sending you home. " No man can tolerate a daughter-in-law without a bottom line.

Kim's face was white. After beating her last time, Tiehu lived separately from her, and now he doesn't want to move back to the house.

Tie Kui looked at her face and said, "Aung, you can think about it. Is it the Jin family or the husband and children who are important Normally speaking, it is the husband and children who are important. But Jin's brain circuit is not general. After moving down the mountain, tie Kui doesn't dare to guarantee that she won't communicate with Jin's family. But he will try his best to persuade those who should be advised. There's nothing else you can do.

It's very cold on the mountain in winter. Iron Tiger usually takes advantage of the good weather to go out. When it snows, they always stay at home to teach tiekui martial arts or chop firewood to renovate the house. They really don't stop for a moment.

By the end of April, the next year the weather was getting warmer. At this time, wild vegetable dumplings become the staple food, but they will be served with salad or fried meat.

This day, tiekui went up the mountain to hunt. In the evening, he brought back a boar with a weight of 100 kg.

Tie Kui didn't look right when he saw him put down the boar. He asked, "Daddy, are you hurt?"

Iron Tiger said with a smile: "nothing, the arm was scratched by thorns." Afraid tie Kui didn't believe it, he rolled up his sleeve.

Tiekui looked at it and found that it was really scratched by thorns, but the wound was deep. Tie Kui quickly gave him hot water to scrub the wound, and then put some plaster on it.

In the evening, tiekui didn't let Tiehu do it, but let him teach. Afraid that tie Hu would not agree, tie Kui said: "Daddy, I will learn these sooner or later."

"Iron tiger said with a smile:" good

Because it's the first time I've done it, I've made a lot of trouble. Especially when the pig is divided into two parts, the Iron Tiger will do it with a few knives. And tie Kui, tossing half a ring to separate. But no one laughed at him.

Because tie Hu's arm was injured, tie Kui didn't let him carry the boar meat on his shoulder, but carried it in a basket. And he also carried 30 jin.

When we got to the town, it was obviously more lively than last year. In particular, there are many people selling things in the market, some of them selling wild animals.

They took the boar meat to the game shop, and sold it for two liang silver. It's still the shopkeeper's, according to the highest price. If you go to the market, it's estimated that you'll sell about half.

At the beginning of spring, everything recovers and wild vegetables can fill their stomachs. In some cases, the price of food and meat has also come down.

After going out, Tiehu said regretfully, "I knew last year that I should have sold all my bacon."

Last winter, a kilo of wild boar meat sold for 60, 70 Wen or more, but now it's only more than 10 Wen. The price is five or six times lower.

Every time he carries his meat down the mountain, Iron Tiger hesitates. Tiekui had been persuading him to sell three-quarters of his bacon. The remaining quarter was eaten up by the family in winter.

Tie Kui said with a smile: "Daddy, you can't let your family eat wild vegetables every day to make money!" Under his insistence, the food of the iron family is very good. Not to mention him, even Chunxiang and Chunni have grown up a lot. The two sisters are now as tall as their peers.

Iron Tiger think also: "you are right."

After selling wild vegetables, tie Hu and tie Kui said, "let's go to tie Jia village and tell your ninth grandfather about the homestead." The head of Tiejia village ranks ninth among his brothers, so Tiehu has to call him ninth grandfather.

Tie Kui was speechless: "Daddy, you can't go empty handed when you ask for help." Anyway, I have to bring some presents.

Although he loves money, Tiehu believes in tiekui. Father and son then went to the grocery store and bought a box of cakes and a jin of brown sugar. There are not many things, but it costs more than 60 Wen. Now things are very expensive, especially brown sugar, which is even more expensive.

Hearing that Tiehu wanted to move down the mountain, the village head was very happy: "it's too dangerous in the mountain. It's good to move down." Your son's daughter-in-law is the granddaughter of the village head, so he was worried about the iron tiger family after he knew the reason why the Li family moved down the mountain.

The head of the village is highly respected and fair. He is loved by the villagers. Even Tiehu respects him very much.

Iron Tiger said: "nine grandfather, three children can't stay in the mountains all their lives. At that time, the marriage of children will be a big problem. Ninth grandfather, I want to buy a homestead in the village first and go back to the village to build a house next year. "

No one can build a house overnight. They all choose the foundation, and then prepare their own wood and other things. If you can't prepare yourself, you will spend money to buy it.

The village head nodded happily and said, "what do you want to buy? You are the offspring of the iron family. The homestead is directly divided to you. Don't worry about it. I'll choose a good one for you. " Although the tigers have no registered residence, they have a black family. Since he is the heir of the iron family, he can naturally get the homestead.

Tiehu was very happy to hear that.

Seeing this, tie Kui added: "thank you, Ninth master." Although the village head is highly respected, if someone helps you, you have to remember his kindness.

The village head looked at tie Kui in surprise, then said with a smile, "good boy, this is what great grandfather should do."

After talking for a while, father and son are going back. When the village head left them for dinner, tie Hu shook his head and said, "you have to go up the mountain earlier, or you won't be home tomorrow afternoon." Nowadays, every family is short of food. How can they stay to eat? It's too shameless.

When the village head hears the speech, it's hard to stay.

After the father and son left, the village head's daughter-in-law Tong opened the oil paper. See is a box of sweet scented osmanthus cake with a packet of brown sugar, frowned and said: "this child is really, how to send such a valuable thing." Brown sugar is a precious thing in rural areas, which can only be eaten by confinement or patients. Of course, it's a good family.

The village head sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'm cold hearted by my family. I'm afraid I won't give him a heavy gift until I choose his residence base."

Mao was very cold and said: "it's just a high fever. Even if Dachun doesn't ask for a doctor, he will throw Huzi into the mountain after listening to his daughter-in-law's words. Who is not cold hearted to meet such a brother If smallpox or chickenpox and other infectious diseases, you throw the child in the mountains. But Huzi just fell into the water and had a fever, so they threw the child into the mountain.

The village head shook his head. He knew it at that time and took someone to look for it, but he didn't find it for three days. Originally, I thought that the child was eaten by wild animals, but I didn't expect that the child was so lucky that he was saved by an old hunter in the mountain.
