Use space to tease your wife

Chapter 15 When we have money, let's eat meat!

Mrs. Xu Yao saw Xu Zhengrong going out in the morning, thinking that he just wanted to go up the mountain to play on a whim. When it got dark and no one came back, she felt a little panicked. After putting a large pot of brown rice porridge on the table , and asked Kidou'er to lean on the threshold and wait for his uncle to come back.

Now is the time for spring planting. As the main labor force in the family, Xu Zhengcai and Xu Zhengyang waited until the first month of the month before returning exhausted.

Before entering the house, he could smell the fragrance of brown rice porridge. Xu Zhengcai leaned the utensils in his hands next to a large tree stump in the corner of the yard. The little Kidou did not dislike the pungent smell of his father's sweat. She rushed forward and hugged her thigh tightly, and grandma shouted: "Dad!"

Then he smiled sweetly at Xu Zhengyang who was following behind him: "Second uncle!"

The child is young, and it is the time when the body is growing. If it were usually at this time, he would have already eaten and gone to bed. Xu Zhengyang touched the hanging bun of Kidou'er with some curiosity: "Our Kidou'er is sensible now. Do you know how to go out to meet dad and uncle?"

Kidou'er shook his head honestly: "It was my mother who asked me to wait outside, but not for my father and second uncle, but for my younger uncle. My uncle left early in the morning and has not seen anyone yet. He has not even eaten. Haven't even eaten yet!"

Xu Zhengcai and Xu Zhengyang looked at each other, feeling something bad in their hearts.

The child couldn't speak clearly, so Xu Zhengcai simply went into the house and asked his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Xu Yao put the dishes and chopsticks in place and murmured: "He was in a hurry to go out before it was even bright. He said he was going to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt. He also said he sympathized with your hard work and wanted to supplement the family income. , I was still thinking about why he suddenly changed his gender, but he still hasn't come back..."

Xu Zhengcai's face darkened and he put down the pottery bowl handed over by Kidou'er: "In spring, wild beasts on the mountain are most likely to go crazy. He does things recklessly. What should I do if something happens on the mountain?!"

Mrs. Xu Yao concluded that this was indeed the case, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Just as she was about to suggest going out to look for it, she heard someone's voice in the yard.

When I went out, I saw that it was Xu Zhengrong who had returned late.

Exhausted after a busy day, Xu Zhengrong took advantage of the moonlight to eat several biscuits beside the field ridge and came back with a half-full stomach.

Xu Yao used the dim light to see that Xu Zhengrong's hands were indeed empty. There was a clear look on his face. He didn't say much. He just wiped his hands and gave a faint call to let him go into the back room to eat. .

Seeing him come in, Xu Zhengcai finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still showed the majesty of a big brother on his face. After coughing twice, he scolded with a straight face: "It's the spring planting time, and the family is very busy. If you are really free, If you're bored, you might as well go to the fields and help me and your second brother, don't just idle around all day and run around the mountains, causing people to worry for no reason!"

The words in his mouth were harsh, but the concern in his eyes could not be faked. Xu Zhengrong did not mind at all, but instead took out the title hidden in his sleeves with a smile.

"Brother was wrong this time. This time he didn't idle around. Instead, he dug a treasure in the mountains!"

Because of his criminal record, Xu Zhengcai was doubtful of what he said. He and Xu Zhengyang frowned and gathered around him. They looked at the title in Xu Zhengrong's hand for a long time but could not tell anything.

It is considered good for a farmer to have enough to eat on weekdays, but precious herbs like this may not be seen once in a lifetime.

Xu Zhengyang looked at the strange appearance of the man and said with a rare joke: "Third brother, look at this weird appearance. Where did you find this treasure? I'm afraid no one will want it if you give it away, right?"

Xu Zhengcai was more knowledgeable than him. He pondered for a moment and suddenly slapped his leg with a loud "ah" sound: "This, this, isn't this the title the old people talk about?"

I leaned over and took a few glances under the dim light. The more I looked, the more similar it seemed to me. I couldn't help but smack my lips: "A long time ago, when there were herb collectors in our village who were active in the mountains, they said that there were people in the mountains, but human beings were not. This thing is very evil. It is said to have spiritual energy. It can run with long legs when meeting people. Be good! If you are true and let people outside know about it, why don't you crush our mountain?!"

Xu Zhengrong raised his eyebrows proudly and carefully put down his title: "It's almost impossible to be wrong. I'll go to the drug store early tomorrow and ask the drug store owner how much this thing is worth."

Then he patted the beans who gathered around him and said with a very relaxed smile: "When we change the money, we will go to the town to weigh the meat and eat it!"

Kidou'er's moist eyes lit up even more when he heard about eating meat.

Xu Zhengcai couldn't see his arrogant look, and after looking away, he still poured cold water on his face with a straight face: "You still call it meat? Are you able to pick up the treasures in the mountains casually? I'm afraid they just look similar, that's nonsense. If that's enough, go to the yard and wash your hands, finish the bowl of brown rice porridge and go to sleep."

"Your sister-in-law said that you haven't eaten all day. If you are really starving and your body is broken, the family won't have the spare money to see a doctor for you!"

Xu Zhengrong did not argue with him, but put his mouth away gently and turned to ask Xu Zhengyang, who was sitting in the corner drinking brown rice porridge: "Second brother, the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family owe us twenty taels of silver." Are you coming back?"

Xu Zhengyang was drinking porridge and water. He was startled by his sudden question. He choked several times before raising his head in embarrassment and answered: "I'm coming back. I'm coming back. I haven't seen you since I came back." Man, I will leave it in your room..."

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Xu Zhengcai suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't help but ask Xu Zhengrong: "Do you really care about the eldest uncle and the second uncle asking for money?! They are elders after all... "

Before Xu Zhengcai finished speaking, Xu Zhengrong, who was impatient to continue listening, interrupted him: "Elder? Elder? What's wrong with elder? Elder can maliciously frame us and force us to take the land deed? What if he really takes the land deed? , our family will all starve to death! Brother, they don't even care about our lives, so you still call us elders?"

His eldest brother is good at everything, but he is too soft-hearted. Especially when it comes to relatives, he seems to be particularly tolerant. This is true for him, and it is also true for the two uncles who rely on their elders.

"Besides, the twenty taels of silver are all the village chiefs and elders are standing by to testify, asking them to give us compensation. Now is the lean time, and it is already difficult to make a living. The extra twenty taels of silver are just for taking to the town. It's good to buy meat and supplement the kidney beans!"

Xu Zhengcai was speechless by what he said. His thick lips moved, and it took him a long time to sigh: "Well, since you have asked for the money, so be it. This is what the two uncles gave you." You should keep the compensation well and don't waste it as you did before. You are not young anymore, so you should save some money so that you won't be too miserable when you want a wife in the future."

The meaning in Ting Ting's words was that he was not jealous at all about the silver that the third brother had obtained through trickery.

For this reason alone, Xu Zhengrong could not help but have a better impression of this cheap brother, and even spoke a little more gently: "Twenty taels of silver is too much to leave me alone... It happens to be tomorrow. If I go to the town to sell herbal medicine, or if I want to see what I still lack at home, I will come back with half of it and go to the market to buy some."
