Shandan rushed into the courtyard with lightning speed! Barely had time to put on his shoes, and ran out exhausted.

I saw Tie Dan'er holding an iron cymbal in his left hand, and a fiery fox in his right hand!

Shandan shouted and jumped excitedly: "Wow! Wow! I got such a good fox in one day! God helped me!"

Tie Dan'er's mother walked out of the door and chanted "Amitabha" while urging Shandan to hurry home and don't get frostbite for a while.

When she saw the fox in Tie Dan'er's hand, she felt very unbearable, "The doll died just after the New Year." Amitabha!" hurriedly went to fetch three sticks of incense to light them, and prayed: "Fox fairy, you die early and reincarnate early, don't blame us, we can't help it." It's just that you have accumulated yin virtue for you to get rid of the beast as soon as possible!"

Shandan also felt very unbearable when he looked at his mother's pious appearance, yes! What right do humans have to forcibly take the lives of other creatures?

Tie Dan'er boiled the cymbals with boiling water to remove the bloody smell of the fox and the smell of people, and wanted to go to the next set.

Tiedan'er's mother stopped her son this time, she said: "In the first month, don't kill, accumulate more yin virtue, and leave some virtue for future generations of children and grandchildren." God has already given us such a good fox skin, which is enough for Shandan's living expenses. You must not kill for the sake of everyone's greed!"

Tie Dan'er did not go against his mother's wishes, and he returned the iron clamp cymbal to his third uncle. When he talked to the third uncle about catching a fire fox, the third uncle's face turned red, and he had already seen the fire fox.

After tracking for a winter, it was so smart or cunning, how could it not be caught in it. He thought that Iron Egg would not be able to catch anything at all, but he was an old hunter and now it was very difficult to get his hands on. So that day, when Tie Dan'er came to borrow the cymbal, he happily lent it to him.

At this time, he was so annoyed and frustrated! Maybe with a little more patience, he would have caught the fire fox with a few more cymbals, and he didn't want to be snatched away by the iron egg.

He insisted on going to Tie Dan'er's house to see if Tie Dan'er was bragging, maybe it wasn't the fire fox at all.

When I went to Tie Dan'er's house, I saw that Tie Dan'er had already stuffed the fox tube with wheat straw and turned it into a lively and agile fire fox! The fur color was fiery red, the hair tips were golden hairs, and the backbone was a thick layer of fluff, the facial features were so delicate, the tail was longer than the body, dragging long red and golden hairs.

The third uncle of Tie Dan'er was salivating, he was reluctant to put it down when he took it, he said to Tie Dan'er: "The third uncle used three fox skins to exchange this one with you, what's the matter?"

Tie Dan'er smiled, "This is for Shandan's living expenses, you tell her." ”

The third uncle turned his head to look at Shandan: "What's the matter? Shandan? You are selling money anyway, and the money of my three fox skins is estimated to be about the same as the money of yours." You can change it to the third uncle. The third uncle wants to make a good fox hat. ”

Tie Dan'er is very disgusted with the third brother-in-law's approach - every time there is something good, these younger brothers and sisters will come and ask for it.

Think about the money that Shandan borrowed from him when he was admitted to university, his uncle and aunt only borrowed 100 yuan from him and came to get it back soon.

Now, he didn't say anything, but he even showed a displeased look.

Tie Dan'er's mother was afraid that Shandan would suffer, and she didn't squeak.

Shandan secretly planned in his heart: "The third uncle is an old hunter, he knows the market of fox skins well, he takes three fox skins for one, and he definitely does not lose, this deal must still be earned by him, with their usual treacherous temperament, this transaction is still not good." ”

Shandan paid attention to it and said, "That's it, third uncle." Let's go to the market tomorrow and get this fox skin to see how much it's worth, and if you like it so much, I won't sell it to anyone else, I'll sell it to you. How much is it worth, how much do you give me, what do you think?"

Shandan's mother seemed to let go of her burden on the side, and was secretly pleased with Shandan's wit, and she once again looked at this smart girl with loving and appreciative eyes.

When Tie Dan heard Shandan's words, he immediately became elated. "Shandan is right, just do it! If you like it, you can buy it, and sell your own fox skins, so that neither of them will suffer a loss, and there will be no trouble. ”

The third uncle listened to Shandan's words, his face was blue and purple for a while, and he was extremely embarrassed, he was embarrassed because Shandan had insight into his little Jiujiu.

Then he said, "Oh, that's good, the third uncle sold the other fox skins to buy this one of yours." Then he jumped off the ground and walked away without looking back.

Tie Dan'er said: "The third uncle may be angry, after all, he borrowed someone else's cymbal." ”

Tiedan'er's mother said: "I can usually let them, but for Shandan's school and your sake as juniors, I don't let them anymore." ”

Tie Dan'er looked overjoyed: "Hehe, let him see that his nephew who has grown up is different!

Tie Dan'er's mother gave Tie Dan'er a big look, and Tie Dan'er immediately shut up.

Shandan looked at his mother and said: "Actually, I want to change it for him, even if I suffer a loss, I just want to test him, he may take advantage of too much and be embarrassed to change." Tomorrow, my brother will inquire about the price of the fire fox skin. ”

When the people in the village heard that the iron egg caught a fire fox, they all came to see it fresh, and many old hunters said that it might be sold for thousands of dollars.

Tie Dan'er tugged at Shandan's sleeve and whispered: "It's still you, if it were me, I would agree to change it to the third uncle, and I didn't say much after listening to what you said." ”

Shandan rolled his eyes, looking like he was "cut"!

Shandan and Tie Dan'er said: "Do you think that the third uncle will give us three good fox skins? He must have picked the three most inferior ones and sent us away, and the three fox skins were sold together for 500 yuan to die! He made fox hats? Cut! He deceived people! He sold them and made a lot of money! Do you remember when I was a child, my mother bought a piece of cloth for me to make pants, and it became bigger, and the fifth aunt said to exchange a smaller pair of her pants for my new pants, and my mother agreed, and she took away my new pants, and the pants she brought were made of a piece of gauze, and I couldn't wear them, do you remember?"

Tie Dan'er looked at this skinny girl who had been a goblin since she was a child, and for the first time felt the benefits of reading - it gives people the ability to judge things, analyze things, and solve things: "Remember, remember." ”

I also secretly admired Shandan's resolute but clear style.

The whole family spent a new year happily.

The winter vacation in the north is long, a full two months.

During this period, everyone was idle and had nothing to do, so they began to be a matchmaker. I told Erlian a few houses, and I went to see it a few times, but none of them were satisfactory. This matter will also be put aside for the time being, and wait and see.

During this period, someone heard that Tie Dan'er's family had a fire fox, and came to buy the fire fox skin for 1,200 yuan.

Shandan only starts school at the end of the month, and with this money, Shandan has enough expenses for this semester. But she only took half of it, and she knew that the weather would soon get warmer and spring ploughing would begin, and she would have to pay for diesel and fertilizer. As long as she can maintain her daily diet, she may be able to find a place to work, so that life will not be so stressful.

She took the same bus to Hohhot as she had gone home.
