Chapter XXIII
Precious mushrooms are not easy to find, Xia Xuege sat at the dining table and pouted, Xia Ziqiu laughed there, in the end, it is a child, even if she is sensible, she is a child, Xia Xuege saw her father laughing at her, and her heart was even more depressed, this is the sixth day that her uncles have not come to help, but Xia Xuege still hasn't found any precious mushrooms, hey, read those time-traveling novels, all of them have golden fingers, why doesn't she have them! In the past few days, there has been no income at home, Xia Ziqiu has to practice and play furniture, she has been running in the mountains, is this the rhythm of sitting and eating the mountains?
"Dad, you said, there are no mushrooms in this mountain that are relatively unusual, I have been picking mushrooms for eight whole days, and they are all worthless straw mushrooms......"
"What, Xue Ge asked for money? Hehe, Dad just finished your treasure box, and gave you a piggy box, a strange mushroom ...... It's not nothing, but it will take two days for Dad to go into the mountain to take you there, that thing is a little inside, there are wolves in the mountain, it's okay for you to be alone at the foot of the mountain, if you go to the mountain, Dad is not at ease. ”
"Okay, Dad, don't forget!"
"Don't worry, I promised you, Dad will never forget!"
The father and daughter ate and worked for a while, Xia Xuege is now embroidering flowers during the day, picking mushrooms in the afternoon, last time I brought Aunt Qing's things to a Han shopkeeper, Han shopkeeper Ming also accepted it, but it was obviously the old man who ran the embroidery village with sharp eyes, and at a glance, it could be seen that this was sewn by the other two people, and Xia Xuege was almost embroidered, one hundred taels of silver! Xia Xuege was drooling when she thought about it.
And looking at the treasure box, Xia Xuege sighed again in his heart Xia Ziqiu's versatility, thirty centimeters wide and narrow, forty centimeters high, a total of three layers, each layer of the pattern is very exquisite, and what surprised Xia Xuege was that this was actually a pineapple flower, only to know after asking, this was originally for Xia Meimei, it was made of leftovers from those pineapple flowers and wood furniture, Xia Tiezhu knew that Xia Ziqiu resolutely refused to accept money, and he was embarrassed, so he left this treasure box as a thank you gift, Xia Xuege looked at Xia Ziqiu with some complaints, Dad, That's why you made the piggy box for me!
Still, the stuff was really nice and she loved it.
And Xia Xuege still likes it here, but Xia Zijun's voice over there made Xia Xuege a little surprised, Xia Zijun didn't show up for half a month! I really don't want his style, but also, I always asked for money from Xia Xuege before, but now Xia Xuege is not stupid, there is no money to make, so he doesn't appear!
"Third brother, what you said, how old is your girl, and what about the treasure box, you still give it to Tingyu, just your ugly girl, hey, it's not me who said you, third brother, you are just deceiving yourself, you get her a veil, as if she is a young lady, but take a closer look, the color of a large piece of your daughter's face is wrong, the things of pineapple flowers and trees, it is a waste to give her, you haven't given Tingyu anything decent all these years, you are also free to take things, what are you reluctant to do! You are willing to give him furniture, and you don't want any money. ”
Xia Zijun said, and looked at Xia Ziqiu with a disdainful face, Xia Ziqiu had already seen through Xia Zijun's angry appearance, and he didn't get angry, Xia Zijun was not his own brother in the end, Xia Xuege also heard it, this Xia Zijun was the idea of beating her treasure box, indeed, a pineapple treasure box, Xia Ziqiu made it well, it can really be worth five or six taels of silver!
"Fourth uncle, what you said, it was earned by my father's work, the seventh uncle is of the same clan, his family is in difficulty, and my beautiful sister has a good marriage, can my father help? You say this as if my father has no heart! ”
"Your father doesn't have a heart, otherwise how could there be such a fool as you."
Xia Zijun looked at Xia Xuege who had just come out of the house with disdain, and Xia Ziqiu's brows also wrinkled suddenly.
"Zijun, Xue Ge is already well, didn't I tell you? You also rob the child's things, and the seventh brother of the treasure box also said that it was for Xue Ge. ”
"Third brother, you spoil her too much, Tingyu is thirteen, and there is no decent treasure box for jewelry or anything, what jewelry can you have, it is a waste to keep the treasure box!"
Xia Zijun said, but Xia Xuege sneered.
"Fourth uncle, you reminded me of this, my sister-in-law seems to have some jewelry left by my mother, I was stupid before, I was taken away, I remembered what you said, my mother's things she said when she died, all left to me, I really have to find time to come back, and I heard you say so, my sister-in-law has a lot of jewelry!"
Xia Xuege said, squinting at Xia Zijun, Xia Zijun snorted coldly, how could Xia Xuege ask for the jewelry back! But he wants the treasure box of pineapple blossom wood.
"Xue Ge, what you said, it was all given to your sister-in-law by you, and you can't ask for anything you send out, you ......"
"But I was stupid at that time, everyone knew that the words of fools could not be trusted, what the fourth uncle said, I am a junior, how can I send things to my elders, my sister-in-law doesn't seem to have given me anything over the years."
"Then you also sent it out, don't go back!"
"That's my business!"
Xia Xuege looked at Xia Zijun, this whole thing is a scoundrel, Xia Ziqiu frowned slightly, it's not good for a girl to be like this, quarreling with Xia Zijun is a bit out of place!
"Xue Ge, go back to the house, it's late, don't catch a cold, tomorrow Dad will take you back your mother's jewelry."
"Hmm!"
Xia Xuege glared at Xia Zijun and went back to the house, Xia Zijun was so angry, Xia Ziqiu was not easy to speak, and finally the two of them were talking, Xia Ziqiu drove people directly.
The old house of the Xia family, the Liang family and Xia Tingyu's faces were very unsightly, they originally heard the people in the village say that Xia Ziqiu's furniture Xia Ziqiu confiscated money, they were quite happy, and they didn't know what was going on, probably because the Liang family didn't like the old man Xia, so as long as the children left by the ex-wives of the Xia family were doing well, they were uncomfortable, they were very happy, Xia Ziqiu worked hard and didn't have any money to earn, but when they heard that Xia Tiezhu gave Xia Ziqiu a treasure box of pineapple flowers and trees as a thank you gift, they were uncomfortable, pineapple flowers and trees, so expensive! And Xia Tingyu's heart is also lively, she doesn't lack anything, just a good treasure box!
originally asked Xia Zijun to ask for the treasure box, but he didn't expect Xia Ziqiu to lead Xia Xuege to ask them for something.
"Phew! It's really a cheap breed who has no mother's birth, and dares to come to ask for things, it's really shameless! ”
Xia Tingyu's face was ugly on the kang, she didn't plan to return those jewelry since she came, in order to provide for the little brother to study, the family was already very poor, and these jewelry were her dowry! And Liang didn't know what to think on the side, his eyes flickered.
"Mother, look, that dead girl, not only let us run away with the money in vain, but also came to rob my things, mother, what should you do!"
Xia Tingyu said, Liang touched her coquettish face, Xia Tingyu was pampered, she was beautiful when she was young, she thought that she must not be bitter about her daughter, and she must marry her daughter to a family with no worries about food and clothing in the future, and Liang's hand stroked, Xia Tingyu frowned, and stretched again, she was very uncomfortable with the roughness on Liang's hand.
"Silly girl, you put things away, if we don't give them, he can still snatch them, and don't have sex with your third brother recently, he's like that, my mother doesn't understand? It's impossible to come and ask for jewelry, besides, he wants it, can your father give it? This jewelry, put it here with us, your father is at ease, he is not at ease, your father has to think of it. ”
Liang said, his eyes flashed uncertain, Xia Tingyu didn't say anything, as for those jewelry, Xia Ziqiu just said that he wouldn't lead Xia Xuege to ask for it, for his wife, Xia Ziqiu is a little entangled, there are some things, it's better not to let the child know!
The next day, in order to dispel Xia Xuege's thoughts of going to the old house to ask for jewelry, Xia Ziqiu led Xia Xuege into the mountain, it was really a rare mushroom, Xia Xuege drooled after seeing it, this is Lion's Mane mushroom!
Looking at the hairy monkey head growing in the cracks of the trees, Xue Ge swallowed his saliva, this is a mountain treasure with the level of bear's paw abalone, Xia Ziqiu seems to be very familiar with this place, and it is also his own father who often begs for a living in the mountains and forests. But why didn't you just go back before?
"Dad, there are a lot of monkey heads here, why didn't you pick some home in the past, this thing should be very expensive, it looks so strange!"
"It's very expensive, but Dad doesn't know how to do it, this looks weird, I've only seen it once in the south, it's expensive, in fact, if you don't say it, Dad can't remember here, there is no prey here, Dad hasn't been here for five or six years!"
Xia Ziqiu said, Xia Xuege didn't ask again, some things are like this, it's a coincidence, and five or six years ago, it should have been Xia Ziqiu's most negative years, his wife died in childbirth, and his only child was a fool!
Okay, though, now for lion's mane? She remembers that one of her colleagues had grown this thing at home, and later made money, and the colleague quit his job to plant monkey heads.
"Dad, let's pick these monkey heads back, Daoshan Goods Store will take a look, it should be able to make some silver, those small ones, let's get the tree pieces back, see if we can grow them, they are all mushrooms, they should be eaten in the same way!"
Xia Xuege said to herself a little, and began to pick those monkey heads, but most of these monkey heads grew taller, she didn't even have a meter, almost all of them relied on Xia Ziqiu to pick, it seems that because there is no prey here, there are few people, few wild things, this monkey head is really a lot, the two of them picked two baskets, Xia Ziqiu is holding the child in one hand, and the other hand is also carrying the wooden section with a small monkey head growing at both ends, Xia Xuege is trying to recall what the colleague said about the culture material.
