Yes, they think we have difficulties. We do indeed have difficulties. We can’t give them away, right? Learn to accept the kindness of others. "
Hearing that both of them gave it to them, Tang Xiuer's face looked better, but she was still confused, "Why did they give it to us? It was for no reason."
Those two people are very smart and will not do business at a loss. Don’t you think they are a drag after the separation? What are you giving them rice for now
"Maybe it's because my leg will heal soon?" Ji Huai half-joked.
"I think so." She believed this most and said very firmly, "Your legs will definitely get better. When we save money, I will hire Dr. Zhang to see you!"
"I'm much better today. Let me show you." Ji Huai held the bed board with his hands and stood up slightly. He couldn't use his foot yet, but he could walk lightly.
"Will it hurt?" She was afraid that he would fall, so she reached out to help him.
"No." Ji Huai stopped her movement and continued walking forward. Although he is limping, he can walk on his own. "I estimate that he will be able to walk in half a month. There is no need to ask a doctor. I am in good health and I will just wait for him to recover slowly."
"Then we'll have to wait and see for a few more days. If it's not good, we'll have to ask a doctor." Tang Xiuer was still worried.
Ji Huai: "Yeah."
After selling the bamboo basket and embroidery, the two of them had food for more than half a month. Tang Xiuer fed the old hen more food, and the old hen kept laying eggs for several days.
Tang Xiuer wanted to save it for Ji Huai every time, but he always refused to eat it, and even showed disgust in his eyes, "I eat too many eggs and duck eggs, which are found in the mountains and fields. Bird eggs taste good, and they taste best when roasted."
She ate the eggs silently, and couldn't help but raise her head and glare at him when he said it, "What's the use of just saying it? I didn't see you bring it back to me, and I didn't eat it either!"
Ji Huai was slightly startled. She pursed her lips and her tone was a little complaining. He coughed lightly and said, "I'll just take you there next time. What's the big deal?"
Tang Xiuer was just talking at first, but when he said this, her eyes lit up, "Really? Can I do it?"
She wanted to follow him before, but he ignored her and Ji's mother kept asking her to work.
"Why not? I can leave now, and I can go in a few days. It's not like I'm going hunting and setting a trap to catch a hare, isn't that enough?" Ji Huai agreed readily.
"You're so kind." Her little eyes curved into crescent shapes.
Ji Huai looked at her clear and bright eyes, his heart tightened a little, and his breathing became a little heavier. He quickly glanced aside, fearing that he would lose his composure.
He is just a reckless man, he only knows how to hunt, does hard work, and doesn't know how to talk about love. He was so violent that all the girls in the village stayed away from him.
Tang Xiuer has delicate features and is his first and only woman. After all, she is different. Now that he has feelings for her again, every moment of silence can still touch his heart.
During this period, the Ji family was dumbfounded.
At first, Ji Huai could only sit on a chair, then he could sit up from behind, and then he could walk slowly without anyone's support.
It looks like this is going to be better
Brother Ji and his wife are anxious. If this is better, can they go hunting? A lot of things were sent intermittently, especially the vegetables, half of which had to be left for them.
They can't lose to Sister-in-law Ji.
And what about Sister-in-law Ji? She became even more angry when she saw the behavior of Brother Ji and his wife. Are they trying to rob her? Originally, she was the only one who sent things to Ji Huai. Before Ji Huai recovered from his injury, she managed to build a good relationship and talk about the matter.
As a result, Sister-in-law Ji ruined her good deeds!
Even with five taels of silver, there was no way she would give up. Gritting his teeth, he continued to send things to Ji Huai and his wife.
Who is afraid of whom? !
Tang Xiuer originally went to pick wild vegetables, but Ji Huai also told her not to do it. Sometimes Ji Er's sister-in-law would bring an egg and he would give it to her to eat.
The hens at home also lay eggs every day, and she has eggs to eat every day.
Tang Xiuer always felt guilty when eating their food, but Ji Huai didn't take it seriously. When cooking, he kept asking her to put more rice in, "Eat more. If you don't eat, you won't eat. It depends on how thin you have become." I also send them meat every now and then, so what does this little rice count for?"
When he said this, she felt the same way. Sometimes he wanted to save a little, but he said, "What are you saving for? When I get better, I will take you hunting. Who wants to eat this?"
Tang Xiuer: "..."
It seems so.
Ji Huai's legs are getting better day by day, and he can walk faster and faster. Sometimes he wanders in the yard and walks slower, but there is nothing abnormal at all.
Sister-in-law Ji was very happy when she saw him. She praised him, "My third brother is in good health and will recover quickly. Look, it didn't take long before he became like a normal person."
Sister-in-law Ji has been displeased with Sister-in-law Ji recently. She became even more angry when she praised Ji Huai. When she saw him coming in, she said in a strange tone, "Ji Huai's feet are healed, so we're going to go hunting."
By then, he would definitely be able to support his children, so who else would he give it to
The five taels of silver were just gone, and a lot of rice and grain were added. Thinking about it, her blood was about to spurt out.
"Yes, how great is it? Xiu'er will have a baby soon, and their life will be easier then." Sister-in-law Ji was choosing vegetables, nodding in agreement, sneering in her heart. Don’t everyone want to eat some meat after Jihuai hunts? Otherwise, how could Sister-in-law Ji, that iron hen, be so generous
"Stop pretending." Sister-in-law Ji couldn't stand her good-natured appearance and said through gritted teeth, "I don't know what you're thinking?"
Asking her to take the grain out of her pocket was more uncomfortable than killing her. These days, she couldn't sleep every day. When she thought about the food given out, she couldn't breathe.
"I know what you're thinking. Aren't we all the same? Isn't it just for the food?" Sister-in-law Ji didn't raise her head, put the chosen dishes aside, and didn't want to be outdone.
Sister-in-law Ji originally wanted to scold her, but why did she get involved? Now that the money is gone, everyone has lost a lot of food. Sister-in-law Ji's words made her confused again, "What did you say?!"
"Did I say something wrong? Do you want to secretly please Ji Huai alone? Do you think we are all fools? When he comes back from hunting, he will share more of your meat?" Sister-in-law Ji stood up with the dishes in hand, with a sarcastic look on her face.
Sister-in-law Ji was furious at first. After hearing her words, she was confused at first, and then thought that Ji Huai's foot was healed. In this case, you can indeed go hunting, and you will have meat to eat.
Yes, yes, if you think about it, their family is not at a loss, but it just depends on the rice used in exchange for meat. Ji Huai will definitely divide the meat between the two families.
Just thinking about the five taels of silver made her heartbroken again. It would be great if I could eat meat and get five taels of silver.
Ji's family was even more concerned than Ji Huai about when he would go hunting. They waited and waited and hoped that Ji Huai would finally go hunting.
He put on his old clothes, had a knife in his foot, a bow and arrow on his back, linen wrapped around his hand, and a bamboo tube. Everyone thought he was going hunting, but they were suspicious.
Because Tang Xiuer followed him, thinking she was just going to see him off, but later found that both of them had left.
"Are you taking her hunting?" Sister-in-law Ji didn't believe it.
"It's probably not hunting. She's still pregnant. How is that possible? They probably walked together and got separated halfway." Brother Ji guessed.
Tang Xiuer is still pregnant, how could she be taken hunting
Sister-in-law Ji thinks so too.
Thinking that Ji Huai went hunting, she was in a good mood. Looking at her daughters who had not eaten meat for a long time, she smiled and asked them to cut the grass quickly so that they could eat meat when they came back soon.
After such a long time, I finally smelled a bit of meat.
As for Sister-in-law Ji's family, although Sister-in-law Ji is also thinking about the five taels of silver, she hasn't eaten meat for a long time, but it is better than Sister-in-law Ji's family. At the end of last month, an old hen died for unknown reasons. While the chicken's body was still warm, she quickly burned it and ate it.
Their two sons were originally chubby little boys. They had not eaten meat for a long time and had lost a lot of weight. Seeing that Ji Huai had gone hunting, they all asked, "Mom, are we going to have meat to eat? I want to eat rabbit meat." "
"How can you eat whatever you want? You can eat whatever you have." Sister-in-law Ji lowered her head and said to them. She was thinking about how to make it more delicious and what ingredients she had at home.
There is still some green onion and ginger from last night, and the chicken fat that was not eaten at the end of the month can also be used to stir-fry for flavour. Ji Huai hasn't gone hunting for so long, so he should gain a lot.
The thought of eating meat made no one in Ji's family want to work. They just sat at home and waited dryly.
at the same time.
At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Huangzi was clearing the way outside, with Tang Xiuer in the middle and Ji Huai behind.
The mountain road was rugged. During this time, she had been in good health and she was not out of breath when walking, but she was still a little tired. She walked slower and slower, and finally stopped for a moment.
"With your strength, you still have to go out hunting." Ji Huai said helplessly, walked up to her, leaned over to hold her hand, and led her forward.
His strength was so strong that Tang Xiuer immediately saved a lot of energy and her steps became brisk. She looked at his back and said, "Will I drag you down? Will I be in danger?"
She followed them out of curiosity and wanted to take a look. She didn't want to put them in danger. That would be too willful.
"What's the danger at the foot of the mountain?" Ji Huai laughed when he heard her say this.
Tang Xiuer looked embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and let him lead her away.
Suddenly, Ji Huai stopped and let go of her hand. She looked up at him and saw him quickly pulling up his bow and arrow and shooting forward.
With a "swish" sound, other birds on the tree not far away flew away one after another.
"Hit!" Xiao Huangzi's voice was pleasantly surprised. He quickly ran forward, grabbed a bird in the grass, and said proudly, "It's quite fat!"
"There are bird's nests in the trees." Ji Huai reminded.
"Okay!" Xiao Huangzi put down the bird, took off his shoes and climbed the tree. Like a monkey, he climbed up in a few seconds, which surprised Tang Xiuer.
"Five eggs." Xiao Huangzi glanced at them and reached out to take them out.
Tang Xiuer kept looking up. She rarely went out, how could she see such interesting things, so she kept looking up. Ji Huai walked up to her, reached for her hand, pulled her aside, and said to Xiao Huangzi, "Be careful, don't fall."
