After leaving Yangyitang, Zhao Xiaoning bought a lot of nutritious things in the town, such as walnut dew, pig's trotters, and the woman ate nourishing black chicken.

It was only half past six when I got home, and when I saw Xiao Qi at home, Zhao Xiaoning smiled and said, "Brother Seven, can you help me go to the mountains to see if there are any rabbits on it?"

"What's the benefit?" Xiao Qi asked.

"What do you want?" you say, but I will do what I can. Zhao Xiaoning said without hesitation.

Xiao Qi said: "Forget it, you human benefits Seventh Brother can't use it." I'll go into the mountains and help you take a look. With that, he flew straight out.

In less than twenty minutes, Xiao Qi came back and said to Zhao Xiaoning, "There are two rabbits on the set." ”

"Before it's dark, let's get those two rabbits back. Zhao Xiaoning wanted to take a rest at home, but the rabbit had already been put on and had to be taken off.

After entering the mountain, Zhao Xiaoning quickly put away all the covers. At present, his main energy is still making summer soup, and he doesn't want to be distracted. Although he is young, he doesn't want to lose a big one because of a small one.

Although you can catch two or three rabbits a day, it is obviously not a level compared to the way to make money by boiling summer soup.

The sky gradually darkened, and bursts of cooking smoke rose in the sky above Zhaojiatun. Without cleaning up the two hares, Zhao Xiaoning came to Wu Cuilan's house with the things he had purchased before. At this time, the two were cooking in front of the stove, and the hare meat stewed with radishes, even outside the door, Zhao Xiaoning smelled the tempting aroma of vegetables.

"Zhao Xiaoning, what are you doing here?" When Zhao Xiaoning had just walked into the courtyard, Wu Cuilan found Zhao Xiaoning. Asked in an unhappy tone.

Zhao Xiaoning hurriedly said: "Aunt Wu, I bought some supplements for Sister Wang Jing in the town and sent them over. ”

Looking at the two live black chickens, as well as a few pig's trotters and those walnut dew, Wu Cuilan couldn't help frowning: "You bought it, why do you have so much money?"

Wang Jing was also full of curiosity, how to do these things add up to more than 200 yuan, Zhao Xiaoning is too poor to open the pot, how can there be so much money?

Zhao Xiaoning had already thought of his words: "Aunt Wu, I caught a few hares on the mountain yesterday, and the money was earned by selling hares." The way to it was very clean. ”

Wu Cuilan said angrily: "Put down the things, you get out." ”

Zhao Xiaoning was overjoyed, he thought that Wu Cuilan would refuse, but he didn't expect to accept it. He put them down and turned to leave.

"Wait. Wu Cuilan's voice suddenly sounded.

"Aunt Wu, are you okay?" Zhao Xiaoning asked.

Wu Cuilan said lukewarmly: "I heard that there are hungry wolves on the mountain, so don't go into the mountain in the future." Save the wolf from taking it away. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoning's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears. Although Wu Cuilan's attitude towards him is still indifferent, her concern is already obvious.

Zhao Xiaoning firmly believes that through his own efforts, he can be forgiven by everyone, and now it seems that he has done it. At least Wu Cuilan and her mother also forgave themselves, otherwise they would never have said such a thing.

Listening to the heartwarming words, Zhao Xiaoning suddenly felt that it was worth it, and this sense of satisfaction was far stronger than the fact that he had earned more than nine thousand yuan a day.

"I know Aunt Wu. Zhao Xiaoning's voice choked.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoning's current appearance, Wu Cuilan couldn't help but sigh. She knew that Zhao Xiaoning was a very strong person, and she didn't show a trace of weakness when the whole village scolded him and spat on him. Now this appearance evokes the maternal love in Wu Cuilan's heart.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? If you don't dislike it, eat something at my house." Wu Cuilan's tone became no longer so indifferent.

Of course, Zhao Xiaoning refused to let go of such a good opportunity, and nodded excitedly: "Auntie, you and Sister Wang Jing should go into the house and rest." I'll make dinner. ”

"What are you doing? The rabbit meat is coming out of the pot soon, so let's go wash your face." Wu Cuilan said.

Zhao Xiaoning smiled, and then obediently went to wash his face.

After washing the face, the rabbit meat is also out of the pot, and rural people are not so particular about eating, especially poor families, one dish is enough.

The staple food is pancakes, accompanied by dried chili peppers splashed with oil by Wu Cuilan, not to mention how enjoyable it is.

"Auntie, there shouldn't be much farm work in the fields now, right?" Zhao Xiaoning asked as he ate.

"There are only two acres of land, where can I go more? Wu Cuilan's face was helpless.

Zhao Xiaoning hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt Wu, when I entered the mountain two days ago, I found a wild wolfberry forest on the mountain, and the wolfberries in it were about to ripen. If you don't have a lot of work in the field, you can go and pick goji berries. I won't hide it from you, I picked some two days ago and sold them for eighty yuan per catty. ”

"How much?" Wu Cuilan gasped, her face full of shock.

Wang Jing was also taken aback, and the pancake in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"Eighty-one pounds. Zhao Xiaoning said seriously.

Wu Cuilan said: "Zhao Xiaoning, you didn't fool me, did you? Eighty, a bag of flour is not so valuable, right?"

Zhao Xiaoning said: "Aunt Wu, I really didn't lie to you. If you can't, I'll take you into the mountains tomorrow. Also, most of the money I get from buying those things comes from the goji berries I sell. The price of wild wolfberries is very expensive, and the quality in Phoenix Mountain is good. ”

"Although the wolfberry forest on the mountain is not big, I estimate that I can pick a hundred and ten catties when all of them are ripe. ”

"I'm a mother, 100 pounds, how much does it cost?" Wu Cuilan's heart was flooded.

Wang Jing swallowed her saliva and said, "Mom, if you can have a hundred catties, you can earn eight thousand yuan." ”

"Eight thousand yuan? That's our family's income for five years. Wu Cuilan was shocked, more than two acres of land, even if the wind and rain are smooth, it will be sold for fifteen or six hundred yuan a year. If they could sell those wolfberries, their family's life would definitely be better.

It's just that thinking of the hungry wolf in the mountain, Wu Cuilan showed a gloomy expression: "Xiao Ning, don't pay attention to the wolfberry forest." Although that thing is valuable, it is not as valuable as a small life. ”

Zhao Xiaoning didn't say much. But he had already made up his mind to kill the hungry wolf no matter what, otherwise the villagers would not dare to enter the mountain at all, and it would cut off everyone's financial resources.

After eating, Zhao Xiaoning said a few polite words and left the Wu family.

"Xiaojing, don't clean up yet, my mother has a few words to ask you. Wu Cuilan said to her daughter-in-law who was cleaning up the table.

"Mother, you can just say something. Wang Jing said.

Wu Cuilan asked seriously: "You really don't plan to remarry?"

Wang Jing nodded solemnly: "Brother Yang is gone, I can't go, I have to support you for him." ”

A layer of mist appeared in Wu Cuilan's eyes, and she was particularly moved in her heart: "Since you don't plan to remarry, my mother has an idea here, I don't know if you want to." ”

Wang Jing asked: "Mother, what are you doing today? Why are you hesitant to speak? ”

Wu Cuilan coughed lightly: "Our mother's life is too lonely, I wonder if you can have a child, so that our family will be like a family." ”

"Mother, you're not kidding, are you? I can't have a child myself. Wang Jing laughed out loud.

Wu Cuilan said: "You really can't have a child alone, can't you just find a man?" The Zhao family owes our Wu family two lives, if you don't mind, I will let Zhao Xiaoning give our Wu family a seed." Even though that guy was only sixteen years old, he should be able to do this. Of course, this matter is just a matter of motherhood, it all depends on your opinion. ”

Wang Jing obviously didn't expect her mother-in-law to say such a ridiculous thing, she was silent for a long time, and asked, "Mother, if you have a child, whose surname will you have?"

"Of course it's our old Wu family. Wu Cuilan said.

Wang Jing said: "Will Zhao Xiaoning agree to this matter?"

Wu Cuilan sneered: "Do you think Zhao Xiaoning dares to refuse my words?"

Wang Jing's face rose with a flush and said, "I have no opinion on this matter, I listen to my mother." ”

Wu Cuilan was overjoyed, got up and said, "Xiaojing, you go take a bath first, I'll go and call Zhao Xiaoning over, you two work hard to get your mother to hug the big fat boy as soon as possible." ”
