Wu Feng picked it up and weighed it and said, "The weight is not light, it weighs six or seven catties." ”

Wu Xiang said to his wife Gao Meiping: "Go and boil the water so that you can bare your hair, stew, and eat it at night." ”

Gao Meiping said: "You don't let it stay overnight if it's delicious." ”

Wu Xiang smiled and said, "Birds and beasts, the world is delicious." ”

This family that is forbidden to hunt, but there is a hunting scene in the yard, but Tao Zhenkun impulsively didn't think much about it. Liu Xingmei thought of it, but she didn't stop it, she deliberately wanted to see how the people of the Wu family reacted. As a result, Mrs. Wu did not object, but was very happy, which surprised her and others. This is just because Tao Zhenkun's identity is different now, is it difficult to stop it in public?

At this time, I heard a group of children bustling back, carrying another wild goose in the hands of Wu Feng's son Zhengqi.

Tao Zhenkun looked at the two geese that were killed under his own gun, and for a while, the resentment and resentment in his chest were relieved with the help of killing, and his mood was relieved.

Wu He said: "This month should not be the time for wild geese. ”

As soon as Tao Zhenkun heard this, he couldn't help but leisurely remember that he had seen geese in the "Ghost Gate" when he took his father to the county town to see a doctor the year before last.

The Wu family said: "What's new about this, I've seen it a few times, and I've even mentioned it to my grandfather." ”

So, Tao Zhenkun was thinking: Maybe it was the smoke of the beacon fire that changed the habits of the geese for many years, and their paradise in the north was destroyed! Looking at the wild goose, he actually had a trace of pity, and even regret, with the feeling of "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it"!

Old lady Wu said to the sixth grandson, the Wu family: "Family, you lead the horse to the trough and feed it with good grass and fodder." ”

"Okay!"

The Wu family went to Lin Chaoyang to take the reins.

Tao Zhenkun went over and put the gun back into the jacket of the horse.

Lin Chaoyang stroked the horse's head and said, "This horse is so good!" ”

Tao Zhenkun smiled and said, "This horse is a devil." ”

"What's going on?"

"I came back with four guards, and there were Japanese puppet soldiers all the way, and the checks were quite strict. For safety, when entering the northeast border, he disguised himself as a merchant selling medicinal herbs and drove a donkey cart. When passing by a checkpoint, he almost checked the guns hidden in the medicinal herbs, and when he was about to reveal the stuffing, he had to kill six devils and rob five horses. ”

"What about the four guards?"

"There are many people and big goals, so I arranged for them to live elsewhere and wait for me."

Old lady Wu said, "If you have something to say, let's go to the house." Zhenkun, there are valuables in there that can be put in the house?"

Tao Zhenkun said: "No, I don't have to worry here, it's not important to talk about it." ”

Old lady Wu said to the Wu family: "You are responsible for taking care of it, don't move the gun, if something is lost, you are the only one to ask." ”

The Wu family said: "Grandpa, don't worry, if we lose something in our Wu family, we can't afford to lose this person!" ”

Tao Zhenkun took out a handful of snacks and a rectangular box from the mattress, handed them to Liu Xingmei on the side to hold, and then entered the house with humility, and sat down at a rosewood table in the spacious living room, including Tao Zhenzong. There was a pack of Harder cigarettes on the table, which Wu Long had pulled out.

The Black Tiger stayed outside and waited.

None of the children of the Wu family entered the house, only Wu Jinlu, Wu Jinqi, Wu Jinxi, and Wu Long, Wu Feng, Wu Cheng, Wu Xiang, and Wu He entered the house. These people all obeyed the rules, and did not dare to sit at the table, and they all stood aside with their hands down. The four older concubines led their daughters-in-law and nephews to the kitchen, and they didn't dare to neglect the things ordered by the head of the family.

Liu Xingmei put things on the table.

Old lady Wu said: "I'm glad that you can come back to see me, why bother to bring things." ”

Tao Zhenkun said: "The Wu family is kind to the Tao family, how can we forget that this little thing is not a respect, a little bit of heart." ”

As he spoke, he opened the delicate rectangular box, which contained something wrapped in yellow silk, but when it was opened, it was a small ginseng. It can be seen that its ginseng is shaped like a spindle, and the middle is bifurcated, which is quite similar to the shape of the human body, showing a head, hands and feet. In the Northeast region, it is often said that the Northeast has the three famous treasures, namely ginseng, mink, and deer antler. It is not surprising that there are ginseng on this keel mountain, but it is strange that people have never seen such a big one. In addition, when it comes to mink and deer antlers, mink and deer here are rare, especially sika deer, and people who have not seen them with their own eyes can't believe that there are them.

In addition, there are three monsters, the so-called three monsters refer to, the first monster: the window paper is pasted; The second blame: raise a child and hang it; The third blame: the girl has a big cigarette pouch in her mouth.

The first strange thing is that because the Northeast is cold, the cracks in the windows will be pasted with paper strips in winter, which is not strange, but the strange thing is that the paste is outside, because the winter in the Northeast lasts for four or five months, and the paste is easy to be wet by water vapor in the house, and it is easy to be damaged by the wind in the window cracks. So in the early years, before there were no current aluminum alloy windows, every family in the Northeast was like this.

The second strange thing is that everyone is familiar with the cradle where the child sleeps, but the cradle that the Northeast people used to sleep in for the child was different from other places, and the cradle was hung up with a rope, which was generally hung on the beams of the house, so that the mother only occasionally took the time to push it when doing work in the house, and the cradle could shake itself for a long time, this custom originated from the earliest inhabitants of the Northeast were Manchu and Mongolian, both of which were horseback peoples and nomadic peoples. Therefore, when everyone walks by water, they often put their children in the cradle and hang them on horseback to migrate, and there is the second biggest monster in the Northeast today.

The third strange thing is that people now know that smoking is harmful to health, so they control many people not to smoke, especially girls smoking is considered unsightly by everyone, but just a few decades ago in the Northeast, women smoking cigarette bags are very common, and many unmarried girls are also holding cigarette pouches, which is called the third strange in the Northeast by the world. The customs of any place are inseparable from the local environment, and the third strange in the Northeast is also the same, because the winter in the Northeast is very cold, when people are working outside, in order to drive away the cold, people often smoke a bag of dry tobacco, which is not a matter of men and women at all, this is a survival instinct.

Old lady Wu took it and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "This is a good thing, too valuable." ”

When the eight people standing saw this ginseng, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Tao Zhenkun said: "For the Wu family, this is not a precious thing, this is my teacher gave it to me when I left, so I will honor the two old people, I heard that this is Korean ginseng, which has the effect of prolonging life, and taking it properly, health is the most important thing." ”

Old lady Wu said: "It can be seen that your commander is very important to you, work hard, and you will have a good future in the future." You kid is so kind, I am so touched by this old man! ”

The old lady of the Su family also took it in her hand and looked at it, and praised: "It's a baby!" We also have it on this mountain, but I've never seen such a big one, this ginseng has a nose and eyes. I really can't see that this child is so filial to us! If your parents are still here, they should be blessed with today! ”

Old lady Wu said to his wife cautiously: "You are old and confused, what are you doing to make children sad!" ”

Tao Zhenkun said: "It's okay, tomorrow I will go to my father's grave to pay respects." ”

Old lady Wu said: "This is how it should be. ”

At this time, Gu Xiang brought a set of Jingdezhen tea sets on a tray, all of which were blue and white porcelain with exquisite patterns on them. She poured the teapot for everyone at the table in order of seniority, and the fragrance overflowed immediately.

Tao Zhenkun took out a letter from his pocket and put it in front of Mrs. Wu.

"You're ——?" Old lady Wu was stunned.

Not only was Mrs. Wu unexpected, but the eight members of the Wu family were also surprised. The Su family has been in charge of the Wu family's money for a lifetime, and she is not surprised that Wu has picked up a piece of the ocean, but she can't help but be surprised to see so many at once, and it is from the hands of a once poor boy.

Tao Zhenkun felt sour in his heart and said: "My father and mother are sick and sick, thanks to the help of the Wu family, I borrowed money to advance money, so I will accept these." ”

Old lady Wu said: ?"? As I said, all the money you owe is forgiven, so why ?——?"

"If I can't pay back the money I owe, my parents will blame me in Jiuquanxia?!?" Tao Zhenkun glanced at Liu Xingmei, who had been silent on the side.

Liu Xingmei was never surprised that she had never seen so much money, she used to think of money in her dreams, but now she finds that money is not the most important thing. Seeing that her husband was so generous, she must have made a fortune, so she had no choice but to speak: ?"? Zhien looked at the newspaper, and didn't forget to dig the well, please accept this money, don't make him embarrassed, the reason why he went out to work was to be able to pay off the famine one day earlier, so that his father and mother could look at it. It is a matter of course for the father to repay the debt of the son, and most of the money is borrowed for our marriage, and only when it is repaid will it be relieved. ”

She didn't know how much money her husband could have at this time, and she was so generous with her money, and she didn't have the idea of being stingy. This is a considerable ocean, how many people have been desperately working hard all their lives to earn and earn even unattainable wishes?!

Old lady Wu hurriedly said: ?"? Even if you have to pay back the money, you can just count it, but that's too much??! ”

Tao Zhenkun smiled and said: ?"? The extra is considered interest, right? ”

"Even if you lend usury, there won't be so many, let me accept it and be ashamed of your parents??!"

Wu Long looked at it in his eyes, and was quite ashamed, compared with the one hundred banknotes that he had asked for in Tao Zhenkun's hands and had not yet returned, it had become an astronomical amount? !

But Tao Zhenkun didn't look at Wu Long's expression at this time, but the humiliation he once gave him will not be forgotten, and he took out so much money at once, and he had the potential to spend a lot of money, and he also wanted him to see it and prove that Tao Zhenkun is no longer the despised Tao Zhenkun he was at the beginning.

This is a matter of spending money to buy face, and it is a gentleman's grand way of "revenge". Although it is he who suffers from this practice of being a good man, he will let others see his generosity, in fact, it is just to satisfy his vanity, but he thinks it is worth it, this is the dignity that a man needs.

Tao Zhenzong, who had never spoken, saw all this in his eyes, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't expect Tao Zhenkun to become a different person in just a few months after he went out. This kind of courage made him ashamed. He once clamored that he wanted to be a soldier to fight the Japanese devils, but his parents stopped him and didn't say anything, and he fell in love with Liu Xingmei at first sight and swayed his ambition. Now he never expected that Tao Zhenkun, who had always looked down on him in his heart, would hand in good luck. He was a little annoyed in his heart, if he were to change to himself, he might win the joy of the beauty with this lofty style. He glanced at Liu Xingmei and found that she had become even more cold, and had brought back the man who had made her think about it for a long time, but he still couldn't see her happiness. He understands that the fact of pretending to be a tiger to rob money and being robbed has become a lingering shadow of the goddess in his mind, and it is difficult to see the unrestrained smile he once had! He was even worried about Liu Xingmei: how will she face her husband? However, he didn't have that kind of schadenfreude.

After some pushing, Mrs. Wu saw that the couple was sincere, so she had no choice but to accept the money.

Old lady Wu said: ?"? If your father and mother knew underground, they would definitely be proud to have your son, they can look at Jiuquan? ”

Tao Zhenkun had tears in his eyes, nodded, looked at everyone and asked: ?"? Why didn't you see my grandfather?? ”

Old Lady Wu hesitated, sighed lightly and said, "?"? He's not in good health lately, so it's inconvenient for him to come out to see you?! ”

Since the four brothers of the Wu family and their son gambled and prostituted, and Wu Huan and Wu Le were almost kidnapped, everything has damaged the face of the Wu family, so the old lady Wu has obviously aged a lot.

Tao Zhenkun was stunned for a moment, and then asked: ?"? Is it sick?? ”

Old lady Wu nodded?.

The expression of the old lady Su with a kind smile also quickly dimmed.

"Then I have to go and see him?.", Tao Zhenkun can't forget Wu Jinfu's benefits to the Tao family.

Liu Xingmei coughed lightly, got up and said, "?"? You talk first, I'll go to the kitchen and help out?. ”

Wu Jinlu hurriedly said: ?"? There are so many people, so I won't bother you?. ”

"I'm sorry to eat ready-made, I'll take a look?.". Liu Xingmei turned around and went.

Tao Zhenkun knew that Liu Xingmei's cough was signaling him not to go to see Wu Jinfu. He was a little puzzled, why people had become a little mysterious??!

Liu Xingmei heard some children frolicking in the courtyard in the corridor, and entered the kitchen of the Wu family that she was familiar with.

When I saw her come in, I persuaded her: ?"? I don't need you here, let's go to the house and stay?. ”

So she said to Effie Ling: ?"? So?——? I want to go and see your three baby bumps, or can I see them in confinement, and see how old they are? ”

Teng Miaoqian said: ?"? Fei Ling, then you will accompany Xingmei into the house to talk, right? ”

The two of them came to the bedroom, and the furnishings in the room were all very fashionable at that time, the gorgeous dressing table was inlaid with a mirror, the kang was covered with blankets, and the colors and patterns were exquisite. In the kang, there is a wardrobe, and the front is placed with neatly folded bedding, and covered with a sheet embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. Under the shroud of dissolving candlelight, it looks particularly elegant and quiet, which can make people instantly feel a warm feeling in the bottom of their hearts. A young girl was sitting cross-legged in front of a candlestick, a book in her hand, looking intently, her shawl hair combed into two braids that hung down on her chest. On her left were three swaddling babies, and when she saw someone entering the house, she hurriedly got up to get off the ground.

Liu Xingmei stepped forward to stop her and said, "?"? Fourth Miss, you sit, you're welcome, I'm with the sixth young grandmother to come and see the three little daughters. ”

Nittin said: ?"? Then ?——? sit on the kang quickly? ”
