It didn't take long for the first snow of winter to fall.

And with this snow falling, the work in the field is completely over.

Everyone no longer has nothing to do to go out for a walk, but hides at home, cat winter.

The old Xu family is naturally no exception.

However, Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er obviously didn't want to hide like this, and the brothers still went out early and returned late every day to hunt in the mountains.

In fact, in winter, there are many people in the village who go into the mountains to hunt.

In winter, especially when it snows, it is much easier to go into the mountains to catch rabbits, pheasants, etc.

One is that it snows, and these wild things will leave traces in the snow. The second is that when the snow is heavy, they also have to hide in the nest, and where there are wild animals to hide, the snow pit is different.

Experienced farmers and hunters can easily tell.

Boss Xu and Elder Xu go into the mountains on such days, and it is not unusual for prey to be brought back.

Few people in the village have seen it and not said it, and even if someone did, it would not spread the word.

Oh, by the way, Xu Laoer's daughter-in-law Li was also confirmed to be pregnant.

For a better life in the future, the Xu family also agrees on the two brothers going into the mountains to hunt. It's just that the prey that comes back is no longer all used to eat, but most of it will be divided into the town or sold in the city.

Mr. Xu also said the idea of opening a restaurant in the town in the spring, which was unanimously approved by the family. Especially when she heard that she was going to buy two maids and come back to wait, Xu Laosan's daughter-in-law almost didn't raise her hands and feet in approval, and even took the initiative to say that she could take out her private money to supplement the family.

However, Wang's proposal was resolutely rejected by Mrs. Xu.

In this family, Mrs. Xu is the woman in charge. used the daughter-in-law's money, so who is in charge of this family? She does not covet her daughter-in-law's dowry money, even if her daughter-in-law takes the initiative to subsidize the family.

Of course, if the Wang family wants to spend the money on Xu Laosan and buy something special for Xu Laosan, Mrs. Xu can't control it.

After all, although they are still a big family, the three brothers have already started their own families, and they can be regarded as a small family within a big family. She is in charge of the heavens and the earth, can she still manage how her daughter-in-law gets along with her son?

Besides, if the Wang family has money, what about the Zhou family and the Li family, whose family background is not as good as the Wang family? If the money is not out, will the status of this family seem to be lower than that of the Wang family?

For the sake of the peaceful atmosphere in this house, Mrs. Xu is super principled.

Besides, if the family's money is not enough to spend, it is because the family has no ability.

……

The days went by like this.

The old Xu family's family background is becoming more and more solid, and Mrs. Xu's face is ruddy. And her three daughters-in-law are also gradually showing their pregnancy, especially the Wang family, who has already been determined to be twins, and her belly is already comparable to Mrs. Xu.

Fortunately, the old Xu family bought a lot of cloth and cotton before the winter, otherwise, it would be a problem for the winter clothes of these four pot-bellied women.

At noon on this day, Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er came back from the mountains early, and as soon as they arrived at the door of their house, they saw a carriage rushing towards the gate of their house.

The brothers knocked on the courtyard door, put down their prey, and beckoned Old Man Xu to come out.

"Dad, it seems to be coming to our house!"

Xu Lao Er spoke in a sullen voice.

Old Man Xu gave him a slap: "It's not from our house, why are you calling Lao Tzu out?" ”

"Looks like it!" Xu Lao Er touched his head and felt as if he was indeed talking nonsense.
