Chapter 8 How about going into the mountains, there are treasures in the mountains!
The village chief personally went down to the cellar amidst Mrs. Shi's roar. When he came out again, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"You can't tell, you ladies are quite clever!"
If they hadn't found the cellar and the hidden money box, Tokino and his family would have suffered a huge loss!
Angrily, he pointed at the two brothers and sisters who were supporting Mrs. Shi and said, "Some people will go down to the cellar and move everything out!"
"Let's see who dares to play tricks!"
Originally, many villagers came just to watch the fun, but after seeing the inner thoughts of old lady Shi, their curiosity turned into anger.
This person is so bad!
Catalyzed by anger, a person's power of action reaches its peak in an instant.
Despite the old lady Shi's curses, Zhu Zhu snatched the money box from her arms, handed it to the village chief and said, "Village Chief, they are all here, why don't we go look for them again?"
"No."
The village chief said gloomily: "It's better than before with these things."
If you look for it again, someone will jump into the well soon.
He didn't want to get entangled with Mrs. Shi, so he asked someone to bring in a large scale, paper and pen, and weighed all the rice that was brought out in batches.
Several people are called, one person is counted.
After finishing the calculation in less than an hour, he took the book and said: "The total amount of silver is thirteen taels, the total amount of various rice grains is six hundred and thirty-two kilograms, and there are sixty eggs hidden away."
"The dividing method the old lady said before doesn't count. These things are all divided in half!"
"no!"
Mrs. Shi, who was lying limply on the ground, said angrily: "Why should we be divided? I live with my youngest son and I have to raise a daughter. I..."
"If you don't want to divide it in half, then take out this house and divide it in half!"
The village chief said angrily: "Don't think that everyone is blind. No one knows who works and makes money in this family!"
Can Uncle Shi afford to build a house?
If it weren't for Tokino's family raising him, he wouldn't even be able to wear pants!
The village chief got angry in a rare move and decided the situation with one word.
Everything on display was divided into two parts. When he mentioned the house, Dai Hongliu took the initiative and said, "Village Chief, we don't want this house anymore."
When we separate, we seek purity.
If we still live under the same roof, we won't be able to guard against the vicious thoughts of some people.
The village chief looked at Tokino hesitantly, frowned and said, "You think so too?"
"The old house is not as good as here. There are so many people in your house, and they can't even move their feet when they pass by."
It would be much better if the two houses with two entrances and two exits could be divided into two.
Tokino was grateful for his kindness, but still said: "No more."
There will be others.
Uncle Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still said hypocritically: "Brother, you don't have to move out."
"Even if we are separated, we are still one family. From now on, you and your sister-in-law will continue to live here with your children. I..."
"No need."
Tokino ignored his ferocious expression, and there was a trace of ridicule on his face.
You don’t even care about acting, so you still want to take the scientific examination and become an official?
He turned to look at Brother Shi, who was still gearing up, and said, "Go call Nuobao and Xiaowu and pack your things. We will move today."
Dai Hongliu thought of something with him.
When Tokino personally sent out the villagers who came to seek justice, he started packing things without stopping.
She doesn't want to stay in this place for a moment!
She had been busy with the two big ones for a long time, and when she turned around, she saw Nuobao sitting on the rice bag and playing with the big yellow dog.
"Isn't this dog from Uncle Wang's family? Why is it here?"
After saying that, she said in surprise: "Is it the one that barked first in the room?"
Nuobao fed the rhubarb with the leftover chicken leg bones and nodded with a smile.
That's right, that's it.
The little guy was a big help.
If it weren't for it, the yard wouldn't be so quiet now.
Dai Hongliu was surprised and found something strange at the same time.
The separation finally turned out like this, which was far from what the old lady had expected, and she lost so many people.
Why didn't the mother and son come out to cause trouble?
Nuobao saw the suspicion in her eyes and touched Dahuang's dog's head with both hands. He smiled very proudly when he saw the fangs showing out.
This good set of teeth is indeed majestic.
It's no wonder that some people don't dare to go to the rice bag when they show their teeth.
Thanks to Dahuang's threat of showing his teeth, until they had packed up all the things, the three people in the main room did not come out to make trouble, but the scolding did not stop.
Amidst the unbearable curses, Tokino borrowed a mule cart and made three trips back and forth before finally moving all the things that needed to be moved.
Nuobao arrived at his new home sitting on Brother Shi's shoulder, and sighed melancholy when he saw the thatched hut splashing with ashes under the setting sun.
Sure enough, this family is still too poor.
It is a reality that families are poor, and the ashes piled up for many years are truly staggering.
But everyone was happy when the family was separated.
Tokino and his third brother went to fetch water.
Dai Hongliu took Fifth Brother back and forth at home to scrub.
Nuobao is not strong enough and cannot walk independently for the time being.
Seeing that she wanted to help, Dai Hongliu simply gave her a hand-sized handkerchief and asked her to play slowly along the place where Fifth Brother wiped the water.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and with concerted efforts, Lao Mu finally regained his glory.
Dai Hongliu hurriedly cleaned out the dusty stove, took the assigned pot and cooked a pot of rice, and steamed two extra eggs for Nuobao.
The soft and yellow egg custard is just the right temperature and slides right into your mouth without chewing.
Seeing that Nuobao was eating happily, the third brother, who was eating rice with pickles, said happily: "Mom, will Nuobao be able to eat eggs every day from now on?"
Dai Hongliu said angrily: "Of course I can."
"Not only Nuo Bao eats it, you also eat it!"
It's not good to live in an old house, but if you live alone, you won't have anyone to tell you what to do.
From now on, children can eat whatever they want as long as it is available at home!
The third brother was so happy that he immediately ordered another bowl of rice.
But I couldn't finish the eggs in the Nuobao bowl.
She looked at her mother with an expression like "I've tried my best" and shrugged her shoulders to show that she was helpless.
My belly has become bulging.
I really can't eat anymore.
Dai Hongliu looked at the remaining half of the bowl and said worriedly: "There is too little to eat."
Unlike the other boys who were easy to feed, Nuo Bao had a bad mouth since he was a child.
The first five brothers at their age could eat a large bowl of rice, but even half of the bowl could not fit into her body.
Nuobao looked at the third brother who had eaten another bowl of rice in a blink of an eye and the fifth brother who was working silently, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Compared with them, I really can't do it.
Eggs are a good thing these days, so don’t waste them if you can’t finish them all.
Without thinking, Dai Hongliu divided the remaining egg custard between his third and fifth brothers.
When Shiye saw her sighing, he said, "When everything is settled at home tomorrow, I will go for a walk in the mountains."
"What are you doing in the mountains?"
Dai Hongliu said vigilantly: "You are not allowed to enter the mountain again!"
Shiye scooped a bowl of rice soup for her and explained: "Didn't Dr. Wu say before that Nuobao needs ginseng? I've heard people say that ginseng was found in the mountains, both big and small. You just have to try your luck.
.”
"There hasn't been much work in the fields these days. I'll go take a look tomorrow."
Even if you can't find the medicinal materials that Nuobao can use, you can still exchange them for money if you find some others, which can always add something to the family.
Dai Hongliu looked hesitant when he thought of Nuobao's body.
Nuobao pinched it quickly with his little finger, and his eyes flashed with eager anticipation.
It’s great to go into the mountains.
