Chapter 115 This...how does it look like it has been measured? (Second update)
"Hey...you damn girl!"
As soon as he heard Chen Xiuyu's words, Ma Jinlan became so angry that he reached out and pinched Chen Xiuyu's arm.
Chen Xiuyu was smart, threw the soles of her shoes in her hand, and jumped off the kang: "Mom, am I right? I stay at home all day long and want to support a family just by farming. There is gold in this land.
Or is it silver? With only one-third of an acre of land, I can only grow some food to ensure that I don’t starve to death. What else can I do? This person can’t just eat enough and be done with it?”
She paused and turned to look at Chen Xiuqing: "Brother, you learn hunting from Brother Lu. I support you in this matter. Brother Lu is smart and steady. He would rather give up Haicheng and choose to return to our mountains. Why is this?
He told me that there are treasures everywhere in our mountains. As long as you have the skills to take them out, you can make a lot of money. If you learn the skills from brother Lu, you can still live a good life in this mountain. But you can't spend all day
If you are timid, you won't achieve anything big."
When Ma Jinlan heard this, she became more and more angry. She immediately threw away the sewing clothes in her hand, picked up the feather duster on the window sill, and turned over to get off the kang.
When Chen Xiuyu met, she didn't know what would happen next.
She turned around and ran straight into her bedroom, slammed the door, and quickly bolted the door.
Ma Jinlan chased to the door of the room, pushed it, and found that the door latch was locked. She could only stand outside the door to vent her anger: "You damn girl, do you really want your brother to die in the mountains?
Yes, you have all seen people hunting in the mountains doing this and that, and everything is valuable.
Suddenly remembering something, Chen Xiuyu tilted her head and said, "Brother, I'm going back to the house first. Remember to advise our mother later...it's cold outside!"
Are you jealous? Who is not jealous?
Then why don't they all run to the mountains and farm and do temporary work?
That's because everyone knows that if you are not careful when entering the mountain, someone will be killed!
You still dare to tease your brother? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey or something?
"How can I advise you? It's not like you don't know that my mother is the kind of person who really cares about what others say but doesn't listen to anything her own family members say. Alas... just leave her alone for a while."
Chen Xiuqing let out a long sigh.
Chen Xiuqing did not dodge, but just looked up at Ma Jinlan.
Chen Xiuqing was stunned for a moment and rolled her eyes: "How do I know this? Hey, sister, what do you think? Hunting is our men's business, and it is not suitable for you girls."
Chen Xiuyu raised her head proudly: "After all, I have beaten wolves, but you have never."
Chen Xiuqing said on the kang, his tone was calm, but full of determination: "I am an adult. According to you, I should be a father. I have my own ideas and my own choices.
.I decided to hunt with Brother Lu, don’t worry, I will definitely learn my skills well."
"Come on, you still want to brag about this little thing for the rest of your life!"
Chen Xiuyu's tone became softer. She suddenly began to worry about Lu Lu, who lived alone in a cellar in the mountains.
Ma Jinlan hesitated for a long time, but finally did not hit her. She threw the feather duster on the kang: "Okay, you are an adult, I won't hit you...you can do whatever you like!"
"Mom, please stop yelling. I think my sister is right. I am the man of the family. If I want my family to live a good life, I have to stand up and be timid. Nothing will happen!"
Chen Xiuqing reached out and rubbed his sister's hair: "I know, in fact, I think so too. It's not like you don't know that I have always wanted to hunt, but my father left early and it was hard to find someone to learn the art from.
No one is willing to accept it, and I have been struggling for several years. Finally, I met Brother Lu, and I will never let this opportunity go."
You damn girl, if you have the ability to open the door, I won't beat you to death."
"It would be great if I could also go hunting in the mountains!" Chen Xiuyu said, suddenly becoming interested, she turned her head and looked at Chen Xiuqing: "Brother, do you think Brother Lu will teach me how to hunt?"
After thinking about it carefully, what Ma Jinlan said seems to make sense.
"No, don't look at Liang Pao. Today he took the initiative to call Brother Lu a brother. Liang Pao has always thought very highly of himself. He doesn't look down on ordinary people at all. If Brother Lu is not so powerful, how could he be like this?"
"What's wrong with this?"
After saying this, she feebly left the house, went to the newly piled firewood pile in the yard, dragged a piece of firewood and sat down, staring blankly at the stars twinkling in the night sky, muttering to herself.
He said: "My father, you are walking easy, but you don't look at the two of you, neither of them can live peacefully. They... they will be in trouble by that foreigner sooner or later..."
Chen Xiuqing shook her head, a little speechless.
Chen Xiuyu slowly opened the door and looked at the figure under the shadow of Chai Duozi outside the house, feeling a little sad.
When Chen Xiuqing saw her mother going out, she also got off the kang, walked to the door and looked outside.
Not everyone wants to run into the mountains, and not everyone is a fool.
In and outside the villages, people are injured by wild animals every now and then. Some people go to the mountains and never come back. Have you never seen or heard of these things?
"Is Brother Lu really good at hunting in the mountains?" Chen Xiuyu blinked and looked at Chen Xiuqing.
"I'll just brag for the rest of my life... I'll ask Brother Lu some other day if he wants to teach me. What if he agrees?" Chen Xiuyu said with great hope.
Chen Xiuqing smiled slightly.
"Brother, why don't you go and persuade me?" Chen Xiuyu pulled Chen Xiuqing's arm.
Ma Jinlan was still angry outside: "How dare you tell me that you also want to hunt? You are a dead girl. You are from a girl's family. Look at the many families in the village. Which one is like you? You have no shame or skin."
You’re so heartless! There are only three of us in our family, can’t you two, brother and sister, live a peaceful and peaceful life?”
"Why don't you try to persuade me?"
Everyone has a desire to go hunting in the mountains, but there are only a few who can really make money through hunting. The situation in the mountains is that even the gunners cannot guarantee that they can come back safely every time they go into the mountains.
Ma Jinlan turned to look at Chen Xiuqing who was on the kang in the inner room, and rushed over with the feather duster in hand, raising it to prepare to hit.
Chen Xiuyu leaned against the door, listening to her mother yelling outside, her heart pounding wildly.
"Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't tease my brother anymore...Brother, please don't listen to my nonsense!"
As he said that, he started crying again.
Chen Xiuyu looked at Chen Xiuqing seriously: "Brother, I actually don't think like mom, and I don't mean to tease you. I'm just thinking that if I were a boy, I would probably make the same choice as I said. I really have no idea.
Consider so much.”
"I'm afraid my mother will hit me!"
As Chen Xiuyu said this, she rushed into her room and bolted the door again.
She opened her clothes box again, took out the new set of clothes with tiny flowers, put them on excitedly, and was surprised to find that the size of the clothes fit surprisingly well.
She couldn't help but be a little confused: "This...how does it sound like you have measured it?"
