Chapter 12 Go to the county seat to sell

After Mrs. Zhou sent the meat into the kitchen, she came out with a wooden basin, and when she saw that Old Man Zhou was about to stretch out his hand to hit someone, she shouted "stop" by the way.

"I said, old man, the two children brought us meat, why do you still beat the children?" Zhou walked closer and said, handing the wooden basin in his hand to Zhao Laixi.

"Deliver meat? What kind of meat to give? Old man Zhou was puzzled.

"Ah, that's the case......" Zhao Laixi saw that Old Man Zhou didn't know it, so he told the village chief about the mediation of the matter. and repeatedly explained that Xiao Ding didn't mean it, but was frightened when he was fighting the wolf last night, and he committed a stupid illness again......

Old man Zhou heard that the village chief mediated it, and Tian Dabao sent all the meat left over from last night, and most of his anger disappeared. Hearing Zhao Laixi's explanation again, I felt that it was right, my stupid grandson still knew it, if he hadn't committed a stupid illness, how could he dare to beat his grandfather and uncle?

Xiao Ding saw that Old Man Zhou's face had softened at this moment, so he also said with a needle: "Grandpa, I'm sorry!" ”

Old man Zhou snorted coldly, and then stopped speaking. Mrs. Zhou next to her widened her eyes in shock.

What the? This stupid grandson beat the old man? And beat his second and third uncles too? Is this my grandson? No wonder I sent twenty or thirty catties of good meat for no reason, it turned out that there was a reason!

"You two get out of here, don't let me see you again!" Mrs. Zhou, who was still smiling just now, blew up the temple again in an instant, and her face was so cold that the water drops could turn into ice.

"Then ——, grandma, let's go first, you can get busy first." Zhao Laixi saw that the big thing was not good, so he pulled Xiao Ding and walked out.

"This damn Tian Dabao actually instigated a fool to beat his grandfather, it's really damned, why isn't the remaining leg lame!" Mrs. Zhou took the matter out of her eldest son. Since her eldest son had a broken leg and couldn't work, she couldn't look down on this eldest son anymore, and it didn't look pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Ding and Zhao Laixi both walked out of the door, and they could still hear Zhou's shrewd scolding.

When they returned to Tian Dabao's house, Xiaoya and Xiao'e had already cooked porridge.

Although there is still a small half jar of brown rice in the rice bowl, it is the grain that has just been harvested, and it needs to be eaten until the crops are ripe next year, so it is necessary to save money.

Looking at the thin porridge in the pottery bowl on the low table, Xiao Ding frowned, it seemed that he really had to think about how to make money.

When I drank the porridge in two bites, and when I was about to go to the pot to fill another bowl, I found that there was no more in the pot. Even if it is porridge, there is only one bowl per person.

was stunned with an empty bowl, and saw the second girl walking over with her bowl, "Xianggong, I can't eat mine, you can help me eat it." ”

Xiao Ding's heart ached. He doesn't know the mind of the second girl! No wonder this family is so thin and weak, they can't even take care of porridge, how can they have a good body? He didn't know what he did to Erniu before he lost his memory, but from last night to today, he could see Erniu's true feelings for him. A little girl who is only thirteen years old can do it rather starve herself than let her husband eat enough, how can Xiaoding feel at ease?

Xiao Ding stroked Erniu's face with pity and said, "You eat, eat more to raise your body so that you can give birth to a baby for Xianggong." Xianggong has already eaten enough. ”

"Xianggong-" Erniu blushed, glared at Xiao Ding with disgust and said, "Don't talk stupid, there are many people......" As she spoke, she glanced at the others who were eating.

Xiao Zhu'er raised her little face with the bowl at this time, looked at Xiao Ding and Erniu and said, "Brother fool, you and your sister-in-law continue to whisper, I didn't hear anything." ”

Everyone finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing......

After eating, Tian Dabao asked Zhao Laixi and Xiaoding to go to the town to sell the wolf.

Zhao Laixi was weak and couldn't carry the big wolf alone. And Xiaoding is a fool, let him go alone, and Tian Dabao is worried about being deceived.

Xiao Ding also wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the situation from Zhao Laixi, so as to avoid the recurrence of oolongs like "kicking grandpa and punching uncle".

"Brother fool, that wolf, can you stay?" Xiao Zhu'er asked pitifully. The first time she ate wolf meat, she felt that the wolf meat was so fragrant, but she had just eaten a meal, and she hadn't eaten enough, so it was gone, and she really wanted to eat wolf meat!

Tian Xiaofu on the side also cast an expectant look, after all, he is only an eleven-year-old child, born in a poor family, it is rare to see Meat Xing'er, he has grown so big, and the number of times he has eaten meat can be counted with his fingers.

"Wait for my brother to exchange the wolf for money and buy you something delicious to come back, okay? Whatever you want to eat, my brother will buy you something. Xiao Ding squatted down and stroked his sister's little face and said. Then he saw the tattered clothes on his sister's body, and at first glance, he picked up the small clothes worn by his brother and sister, so he continued: "I will buy you beautiful new clothes to wear......

"Okay, okay, stupid brother, I want new clothes, I want meat, I want to eat candy people, I want to eat meat buns, I still want to ......" Xiao Zhu'er tilted her head and thought about it, and she didn't think of anything after thinking for a long time.

She'd eaten too little and seen too little. The meat was eaten yesterday, the meat buns and the sugar man were all during the New Year, and when I saw the little grandson of the landlord Xue in the east of the village eating, I knew that there was a kind of food in the world called the sugar man and the meat bun, and the taste was still very fragrant, and I wanted to take a bite when I smelled it. But the little grandson of the landlord Xue is very bad, he only lets himself smell the fragrance with his nose, but does not let himself eat it, he is really a bad big villain.

"Okay, you can wait at home for your brother to come back, and when the sun goes down, he will bring you good food and new clothes. But what, you have to listen to your mother and brothers and sisters at home, okay? Xiao Ding took Xiao Zhu'er's little hand and said.

"Okay, let's make a deal! Come on, pull the hook—" said Bead, holding out her little finger. Xiao Ding also stretched out a little finger and gently pulled with her, and Xiao Zhu'er immediately showed a smile on her face, sweet.

According to Zhao Laixi's introduction, the name of the village where the Tian family is located is Luoxia Village, the town to which the village belongs is called Luoxia Town, and the county seat to which the town belongs is called Luoxia County.

The names of counties, towns and villages are all due to Luoxia Mountain.

Luoxia Mountain is the mountain where Xiao Ding beat the wolf last night. That mountain is actually connected to the mountain range behind the village, and together with the nearby peaks and mountains, it is collectively known as the Luoxia Mountains. It's just that the mountain behind the village is just a stone mountain, with sparse grass and trees on it, and it is too steep to climb up on this side of the village; And the peak where the wolf was fought last night is close to the main peak of Luoxia Mountain, tall and majestic, the mountain is deep and dense, and there are many birds and beasts.

Luoxia Town and Luoxia Village are relatively close to Luoxia Mountain, hence the name. Luoxia County is named because of the Luoxia Mountain in the territory.

Luoxia Village is the closest to Luoxia Mountain, from the west of the village to the foot of the mountain, only five or six miles away; If you climb the outer hills, it is only a dozen miles away. In the depths of Luoxia Mountain, no one in the vicinity dared to enter it. Someone had gone in before, but never seen anyone come out.

Luoxia Town is the closest township to Luoxia Mountain. On the east side of Luoxia Village, it is about twenty miles away from Luoxia Village, and it takes about an hour to walk.

Luoxia County is located in the south-west of Luoxia Village, about 40 miles away from Luoxia Village. It's almost two hours to walk.

"Does this wolf sell for more money in the town, or does it sell for more money in the county?" Xiao Ding asked.

"Of course, I went to the county seat. The county seat is much more prosperous than the town, and there are more wealthy people. Zhao Laixi replied, "If you can meet a rich buyer, this wolf may be able to sell it for ten taels of silver." If you take it to the town and sell it, it will be sold for five taels of silver at most, and today is not a market, and it is estimated that you can't sell it for five taels. ”

"Okay, then let's go to the county seat to sell!" Xiao Ding said decisively.

"What? Can't go! Can't go to the county seat! Zhao Laixi shook his head again and again.
