"My God, Little Treasure? How do you sit on the ground? Who told you to!? Didn't A-Niang say it's impossible!"
As soon as she entered the house, Miao Heniang saw that her little treasure was placed on the ground at will, sitting with dirty pants. It's only spring, the sun is getting colder in the west, and the humidity is on the body! And look at the other child in the room, a two-year-old boy, white and chubby, his mother is the second daughter-in-law of the Miao family, Miao Heniang wants to call her second sister-in-law Zhang Mian, and hug her tightly!
Forget it, her little treasure is empty-handed and has no soup to drink, how can that baby be fed hot rice soup! ? That baby is just Xiaobaotang's nephew, the eldest son of the second sister-in-law's son, the fourth generation of the Miao family. The youngest child, shouldn't he give things to the elders
However, the oldest old lady in the house was indifferent, and when she saw Miao Heniang entering the house, she only lifted her eyelids. This kind of indifference is not surprising. Miao Heniang could only hold her breath in her heart. She rushed forward and picked up Xiaobao before calling her mother and second sister-in-law.
Seeing that Miao Heniang's face was really bad, Zhang Mian smiled and said, "Hey, Xiaobao is very lively at the age of three, and he can't catch it, so let him play as much as he likes. He was still calling A-Niang just now, I'm afraid Brother and sister will bring food back when they go out, so why not leave him some stomach?"
Having said that, Zhang Mian sneered in his heart.
Miao He, who had such a bad reputation in the third room, also caused her husband Miao Xing to be accused of doing things in the town. I want to be treated with the eldest grandson in her arms, I want to be beautiful! Besides, the family is in better condition than the neighbors. It wasn't because Miao Xing worked in the teahouse in the town, and his son Miao Quan also followed him into the teahouse. Based on this alone, it is a matter of course that the best things in the family are used to feed her eldest grandson!
Miao Heniang secretly hated her heart, and then heard the old woman say with a sullen face, "Brother He, did you make it clear? If he wants to lose face again, he won't have to go back to the door for the Chinese New Year! When I come back, this old woman doesn't recognize him!"
Miao Heniang hugged Xiaobao and replied bluntly, "Brother He, he won't."
The old lady snorted, and Zhang Mian made up for the knife, "I hope so. Even the manager of the restaurant asked A Xing about this shit. Fortunately, he was smart enough to think of good things to deal with it, otherwise, I'm afraid it would be Our whole son just got a job at the tea house, and we will all lose it."
The old lady's face immediately calmed down, "These days, you should let the second child and Quanzi bear more burdens. My old lady is a sensible woman, and she will definitely not treat your house badly."
So you turned around and treated Xiaobao badly? But what's wrong with her little treasure! !
Obviously Xiaobao is only three years old, but he is much thinner than the two-year-old baby. As a result, all the food and drink at home are provided for the baby. How much does Xiaobao really get? If not, why would she bother the brother she married? She was forced too! !
Thinking of the silver taels that Yang Dalang promised to give, Miao Heniang's heart became hot, and she quickly lowered her eyelids.
No matter what, this family must not know about it!
On the other end, when Miao He returned home, he felt that he was moving too slowly.
The six taels of debt that flew from the sky were completely his responsibility. He clearly has interest in his hands, but there is a treasure mountain that he can't use, and he can't afford to be impatient. And the vegetables planted today have to wait for more than half a month to sell. Is there no other way in this half month
Seeing people so insane, Yang Dalang turned into the bedroom and took out a small pot. He poured out the clay pot, and rolled out a few pieces of broken silver and a few strings of copper coins. Miao He was stunned and couldn't help but count. One dime of silver and two dime of silver... It's about hexagonal silver!
"Money on hand," Yang Dalang said, and then he took out the silver he sold today.
Miao He didn't know. The young wild boar caught yesterday was not seriously injured when it was hunted. The wild boar is strong and can become a good breed when it grows up. It is a very rare prey. Yang Dalang specially went to the market in the southeast of the town for this purpose, specializing in trading animals and asking for a good price.
No, what Yang Dalang took out on his own later, there was actually seven-pointed silver! After deducting the two hens and a small bag of white flour that he bought back, the little wild boar should have sold more than one or two.
So after adding up, Yang Dalang's net worth is at least one or two or three, and it's okay to pay for the one or two banks that will be handed over in a month. But it still didn't make Miao He feel better. After all, until now, his identity was only a rice bug, and he didn't contribute at all, and he owed a lot of money.
But in fact, Yang Dalang's economic situation is not so tense. Previously, he owed money to cure his mother's illness. Originally relying on hunting, I could barely return silver taels. However, the season coincides with winter, and last winter was another cold winter, and the snow period was so long that Yang Dalang could hardly enter the mountain. If you spend more and earn less, you have to borrow money everywhere.
Now that the season has entered the spring, and all things are returning to life, he has to be more diligent, and he can return to the mountains a few more times.
"In the mountains, there is no prey, and there are medicinal materials. It's fine."
Herbs? Miao He raised his head immediately, "Can you recognize the medicinal herbs?"
"Uncle Lin asked me to pick it up, I recognize it."
"Then I'll go too! Pick it up together!" In this way, he can bring some back and use it directly! Anyway, if you plant it first, there is always a way to sell it without telling Yang Dalang. This kind of thing only needs to be done once, and the money you get should be able to last for a while.
Yang Dalang frowned, but he didn't want to, but he could see that the younger brother's eyes were bright, and if he had just been depressed, he turned his words around his mouth and nodded, "Wait a few days, I will take you there."
Miao Hedeng crooked his eyes and smiled, feeling that things had taken a turn for the better. He happily prepared dinner.
In the next few days, Miao He seized the time to use the soil for breeding, and Yang Dalang seemed to have also entered the mountains for the sake of An Miao He's heart. It's a pity that there are no more luxurious ones like the little wild boar. It is the common hare and pheasant.
A chicken coop has also been nailed in the backyard. Currently, there are two roosters and three hens. Miao He has not found any eggs to pick, but it should be soon. The main plants he planted with the loam were all shredded for these chickens, and of course Dabai.
Da Bai is now bigger than the palm of his hand, can stagger a few steps, and is very affectionate to Miao He. On the day of entering the mountain, Miao He prepared tender leaves and water and put them in a bamboo basket before leaving home with Yang Dalang.
When they were on the road, Yang Dalang was carrying a big basket, Miao He was carrying a small one, and when they were about to enter the mountain pass, the two met Miao Er.
Who is Miao Er? It's a ruffian who is always lazy in his work, and loves to poke people's sore spots with his mouth.
"Hey, isn't this Dalang? It's strange, this is to take Brother He up the mountain."
Yang Dalang hummed, it was a greeting.
Miao Er was really rude, "I should have done this long ago. It's definitely better to take people with you than to leave them in the yard and not know where they will go! It's not like there are more people to help, hey, it's more than one thing!"
Yang Dalang's eyes were cold and he didn't respond, but Miao Er was able to continue on his own, "Brother He too. This brother is different when he is with someone. What's the use of thinking about it in your mind."
When Miao Er said this, Yang Dalang suddenly leaned over the back basket and took out a curved lawn mower, which was very sharp. Seeing this movement, Miao Er was startled, "Okay, you, why are you holding a knife?"
"When there are more weeds on the road, mow when you need to."
Miao Er grinned, "Then you have to be careful. If you accidentally hurt someone, there is nothing to say in front of the village chief." Carrying the village chief out showed that he was a little scared in his heart.
Yang Dalang said calmly, "I know. Thank you for reminding me."
Miao He stayed quiet the whole time. I am afraid that the villagers have said this in front of Yang Dalang many times. I always hid in the yard, and I didn't experience it directly, so I came into contact with a little reality at this time. If I really want to reconcile in the future, I don't know what Yang Dalang will be said to be. Thinking of this, a sense of guilt came out of my heart.
But one yard is one yard, and he can't just tie himself to someone who doesn't like him.
So now, he should think of a way to make things easier in the future.
Miao He then said to Miao Er, "Uncle Miao said that when a person is young, there are always times when he says the wrong thing and goes the wrong way. The last thing to look at is whether the person has improved, isn't it?"
Miao Er thought he was talking about himself, and was a little wary, "Yes."
Miao He nodded obediently, "Then I would like to thank Uncle Miao for understanding. Let's go, Dalang, I'm afraid there won't be enough time."
After he finished speaking, he pulled on Yang Dalang's left hand that didn't have the knife, and tugged.
Yang Dalang's eyes moved, he held it back, nodded to Miao Er, and turned away together with Miao He.
Leaving Miao Er holding his head.
"I understand? What do I understand?? Hey, is it possible that Brother He finally gave up and decided to follow Yang Dalang?! Is this possible? Or is he playing a new trick again??"
After parting ways with Miao Er, it took another hour to finally enter the mountain.
After walking down the gradually rising terrain, Miao He had to stop and rest. He also knew that coming today would be a hindrance and would definitely lower Yang Dalang's efficiency, so he also told Yang Dalang that the main purpose of entering the mountain today was to find medicinal herbs and fruits. He wanted to see if there were any more valuable and better than vegetables. species of items.
Yang Dalang didn't plan to attack the younger brother's self-confidence. If medicinal materials could be planted, everyone would have planted them long ago, and it would not be their turn. This trip will let the little brother relax. The villagers will not have a good face towards him. If he wants to walk around, the mountains are more suitable.
However, he never thought that the younger brother would be willing to say that in front of Miao Er.
It seems that since the serious illness, the younger brother's temperament and thoughts have changed a lot.
Originally, Yang Dalang didn't care about it. No matter what the younger brother is, he has his own reasons, and he just needs to take good care of people. But now, if the younger brother's mind has changed, can he really be able to...
The thoughts in my heart were suddenly interrupted by the little brother cheerfully.
"Hey, isn't that edible fruit?"
