Chapter Thirty-Five
"Brother Dayi, let's go to town again tomorrow! I want to buy some fabrics. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, I want to make two cool clothes for you and Tianbao."
Yang Xu worked slowly. By the time a few pieces of clothing were finished, it would be July or August, and she would be wearing them at that time.
"Okay, I'll go see if there's anything in the trap in the evening, and I'll bring it back and sell it tomorrow."
Wang Dayi thought that he really didn't have any cloth at home, so he bought two pieces of cloth when Xu'er married him, and they were almost used.
…
It was still relatively hot today, so Yang Xu and Wang Dayi slept for a while. After waking up, Wang Dayi weeded the fields, watered them and so on.
The family has grown a lot of things one after another, including rapeseeds, soybeans, red beans, mung beans, potatoes and peanuts, and a vegetable patch with peppers, peppers, greens, radishes and the like.
Yang Xu is very concerned about the seeds exchanged in those spaces, each of which is of great use.
Therefore, both Yang Xu and Wang Dayi took good care of these lands.
When Lin Honghua arrived, she saw Wang Dayi and Yang Xu working outside.
I don’t know what I planted, but I planted a lot of land, and some of it sprouted.
There is also a large vegetable patch surrounded by a fence, which contains vegetables and other vegetables. It is much larger than my own vegetable garden.
Lin Honghua felt a little uncomfortable looking at the handful of green vegetables in her hand. Everyone has them!
This mountainous area is the worst for farming, and I don’t know how these two people managed to grow it, but it still grew quite well.
Yang Xu saw Lin Honghua first and was a little surprised. Didn't he say that we had stopped seeing each other? Why did he come here now?
"Why is Auntie here free?" Yang Xu dropped the weeds in her hands and walked over.
"I'm not here to see you. After all, your uncle and I are just you and Tianbao's two nephews."
Yang Xu smiled and didn't say anything. She didn't believe what Lin Honghua said at all. Was she playing the emotional card for herself?
Seeing that Yang Xu didn't talk to her at all, Lin Honghua cursed secretly, "This damn girl is even more shameless now that she's married. Now she doesn't even take her aunt seriously!"
"You live in the mountains, and you are a hunter in Dayi, so you definitely don't have to worry about meat. I brought you some food from home to give you a change of taste."
"Auntie is so polite. She came all the way to bring some vegetables. I have grown a lot here, so I don't have to worry about vegetables."
Yang Xu replied with a smile, "It's been a few months, and I've eaten a few crops of the vegetables I grew. Then I remembered that I had no vegetables to eat? It's not like I have no brains. This is so obvious and hypocritical!"
"Hey, doesn't Auntie know? It's not easy for every household these days, and they have to rely on last year's grain reserves! I also heard that you and Dayi went to town to buy so many things, hey! You are all young, you don't know
How to live."
Lin Honghua paused and gritted her teeth angrily when she saw that both Yang Xu and Wang Dayi had expressionless faces and didn't say anything.
"You see, Auntie has been standing here for so long, and Xu Yatou didn't invite Auntie in for a drink of water. This young man! He doesn't even know where to throw away the rules!"
"Looking at what Auntie said, Brother Dayi and I have been busy outside and our hands were not clean, so we didn't pour water for Auntie. Auntie suddenly accused me of such a big crime. I am really unjust."
Yang Xu washed her hands and let Lin Honghua enter the room.
When someone came to the house, Tianbao also came out. When he saw that it was Lin Honghua, he didn't show any dissatisfaction. He called his aunt and stood next to Yang Xu without saying anything.
Lin Honghua came to visit Wang Dayi the last time. This cave is not bad, it is very big. Now that they are separated, she suddenly feels that it is really good.
Lin Honghua looked at it, and there was meat hanging on the wall! It looked like it weighed two or three kilograms! She hadn't eaten meat in her family for a long time, and Lin Honghua couldn't move her eyes away when she saw the meat.
"Look, aunt is doing you a favor by marrying you to Wang Dayi. Look at you, you still have Tianbao, but you have gained weight. You must be eating well! Look at the meat hanging on the wall, but
Quite a few!"
Yang Xu took a bowl and poured water for Lin Honghua, smiled and said nothing.
This is true. She was indeed very lucky to marry Wang Dayi, but Lin Honghua's intention at that time was not for her own good.
Lin Honghua took a sip of water and continued to discuss the meat hanging on the wall.
"Look at Tianbao, you don't have to worry about eating meat. You can taste meat from time to time. It's not like my poor big egg! I can't eat meat only a few times throughout the year."
"Auntie was joking. Tianbao and I came to Brother Dayi's house with nothing. Brother Dayi hunts alone to support three people. This prey is not easy to catch. Even if you try hard to catch it, you still have to go to the town and sell it for copper coins.
Buy rice, flour and salt, otherwise we can’t stop eating it, right? So, how can we eat this meat every day?”
"The meat hanging on the wall is also pickled with salt. Sometimes I just cut off a little and taste it. When the weather gets cold, we won't be able to catch prey, and our family can't wait to starve to death! This is unacceptable.
Save something."
Lin Honghua was silent. It was true. Not only was hunting dangerous, but also in late autumn and winter, there was absolutely nothing you could do.
"Hey, this prey must be expensive, and it's impossible for you not to save some money. Didn't you just go to town to sell things for a few days a few days ago? The news has spread throughout the village, saying that you and Dayi have made a lot of money.
Where's the money? Even Dagen's family sent half a catty of candy."
Lin Honghua curled her lips and gave rare candies to even unimportant people, but she just didn't want to honor her uncle and aunt!
Only then did Yang Xu know why Lin Honghua came. It turned out that she had heard about this.
"Auntie also knows, what can I have? That is, I picked some wild fruits in the mountains and sold them in the town for two days. As for delivering sweets to Uncle Da Gen's house, it was because I occupied his family's donkey cart, so it couldn't be in vain.
use."
Yang Xu explained in a few words that she was not lying. After all, she was really selling fruits from the mountain.
Lin Honghua obviously didn't believe it, but she really didn't know what Yang Xu was selling.
"We are all members of our own family. You can't hide it, little girl. If you have a way to make money, you have to tell your family members to be serious! I told you that you and Dayi bought big and small bags and brought them back."
"Hey, there are no big or small bags. I just brought back the fruit basket."
Lin Honghua didn't believe it, but everything in the kitchen was here! There really wasn't much.
I also saw that Yang Xu’s house also raised a lot of fish, which were not delicious. It seemed that they were not as delicious as the villagers said.
Yang Xu smiled when she saw Lin Honghua seeing the fish she kept in the water. This was a coincidence. In the past few days, everyone in the family did eat fish.
"Oh, this is the fish Brother Dayi caught. There are still a few fish left. Would you like Auntie to take one back?"
"No, there's some in the river in the village, you can keep it for yourself to eat!"
Lin Honghua is not interested in it. This stuff is very fishy and even her family doesn't like to eat it.
The two talked for a few more words. Lin Honghua wanted meat in and out of her words, but Yang Xu blocked her. In the end, Lin Honghua didn't get any advantage.
Lin Honghua finally left empty-handed and angrily.
In fact, Yang Xu is not that stingy. There is still a lot of meat in the house, and she keeps it all for herself!
