Just for this jasmine, she decided that this tea garden would be chosen here.

Odada finally got it right, and the address was well chosen.

The slope of the hill is gentle and cloudy, and the climate of the valley is warm and humid, with rivers, woods, and large jasmine flowers.

An Huahao saw Mei Xiaotong's expression, where else did he not understand.

At the beginning, he had also hunted in this area, and he had also fetched water by this river, and at that time he only thought it was normal, but now his mood has changed, and looking at this valley again, it is also very pleasing to the eye. Really, the place where there is Xiaotong is the best place for him, and there is no place to compare. Huo Ran Wen

Since Xiaotong likes it so much, no matter what, he has to buy this valley and hillside and give it to Xiaotong.

Yang Zongbao had already taken out a small dagger from his boots at this moment and was peeling off the deerskin.

The technique is very professional and skillful.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong coming over, he also took the time to make two gestures, to the effect that he wanted to use this deerskin to make two pairs of boots for Mei Xiaotong to wear.

Mei Xiaotong looked at the cloth shoes under her feet, because it had just rained, the mountain road was damp, and it was already covered with mud.

Looking at Yang Zongbao's feet, he doesn't know what kind of boots made of animal skin, even An Huahao has old boots on his feet.

I am afraid that Yang Zongbao saw that Mei Xiaotong had no boots, so he came up with this thought.

Mei Xiaotong was moved in her heart, and she didn't care that Yang Zongbao's clothes were stained with blood, and he was still carrying a half-blooded deer in his hand.

walked over, squatted beside Yang Zongbao, and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, uncle, for thinking of me!" There is a lot of skin, I will make a shoulder for my uncle! ”

The wrinkles in the corners of Yang Zongbao's eyes were laughing, and his subordinates became more and more neat, and Mei Xiaotong was not shy about it at all, and discussed with Yang Zongbao how to make venison delicious one hundred and eight styles.

An Huahao silently looked at himself, he hadn't worn the Pikan shoulder made by his own Xiaotong!

pinched the bow and arrow thrown by Yang Zongbao in his hand again, and his eyes also wandered around, hum! Forget it this time, when he is out of the filial piety period, he must hit seventeen or eighteen deer, and let Xiaotong make a leather robe for himself!

What is a Pikan shoulder?

After packing up the venison, it was also in the afternoon, and the sun was setting in the west.

The three of them set up a stone stove, set up the deer, and roasted it slowly.

Yang Zongbao and An Huahao excused themselves to collect firewood, and the two left for a while, and not long after, Yang Zongbao came back with a nest of bird eggs, and An Huahao also found some fresh wild mushrooms.

Wash them, put them on the fire, and roast them, and roast the buns they have with them.

After a while, the aroma spreads.

After the venison mushrooms and steamed buns were baked, Yang Zongbao picked up the ashes, carefully put the eggs in, first covered some ashes, and then put the unburned firewood on them

。

At the end of eating, they were almost finished, Yang Zongbao pushed away the ashes, the eggs inside had been baked, and the broken ones were picked aside, and the intact ones were carefully wrapped in leaves by him and handed to Mei Xiaotong.

As for the baked and dusty ones, they were all thrown by him to An Huahao.

An Huahao didn't dislike it, anyway, the good one was to eat it for himself Xiaotong, and after thanking him, he took it, and it was solved in three or two bites.

After eating, Yang Zongbao pointed to the hillside and gestured to Mei Xiaotong, saying that this mountain is not bad, it is not too far from Qilidun, the terrain is stable, and it is a good place.

An Huahao naturally knew it, nodded and agreed: "If a tea garden is built here in the future, not to mention anything else, there are not many beasts in this place, and it is relatively safe." Moreover, if you want to hire someone to look at the tea plantation, it is also good to build a house. I think the land is also fertile, and it will not be difficult to live here in the future, and cultivate a vegetable garden. With such a large valley and a river next to it, if you want to transform it, you can't say that you can plant two acres of rice fields! Plus hunting, completely self-sufficient! ”

Saying that, An Huahao couldn't help but yearn for it.

"In the future, if we are old, we can live in seclusion here!"

Mei Xiaotong also had this intention, and nodded busily.

Now that the location has been determined, everyone is not busy, and at this moment it is already the sun setting in the west, and it is too late to go back to Qilidun.

But everyone is ready to spend the night in the mountains, needless to say, just a glance at each other.

An Huahao knew that there was a cave nearby, although it was not big, but it was still possible to accommodate three people overnight.

Sure enough, the cave was not far away, just across the river, and it was fairly clean inside, with ashes and traces of human activity.

An Huahao explained while cleaning up the cave: "This is one of the resting points of the hunters, there are no wild beasts in this area, it is relatively safe, and the water source is also close, and there are often hunters who spend the night in this cave. ”

As he spoke, he saw Anhua Hao familiar with the way from all corners of the cave, turning out clay pots, as well as a small bag of salt, flint, a small pile of firewood, and a small half bag of sweet potatoes.

When Yang Zongbao saw all this, there was a little sadness in his eyes, and he quickly disappeared.

"These things are left by the last hunter who rested here, we used the things in this cave today, and when we leave, we must leave some for the people behind us, we can't use up all these things, otherwise, it will be bad if someone waits for these helpers one day." Although it is not the first time that An Huahao has entered the mountain with Mei Xiaotong, it is the first time that he is so relaxed and talks about some rules among the hunters.

Mei Xiaotong listened with relish, the little couple was affectionate, and while talking, they cleaned the cave.

Yang Zongbao couldn't sit still, this cheap niece and nephew and son-in-law, Xiao Bisheng is newly married, although there is no special action, but between the two of them, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at each other and smile, it is simply blind.

Yang Zongbao felt that he was old

Eyes, I couldn't bear the burden of the two people's dog food, so I found an excuse and hid.

After cleaning up the cave, the two set up a fire, sat next to it, boiled a pot of hot water, Mei Xiaotong took out the tea leaves, threw them into the jar, and after a while, the fragrance of tea overflowed.

Although there were no cups, he couldn't stop An Huahao, and after going out for a while, he cut a bamboo with the thickness of a bowl and slashed several cups.

Holding the bamboo cup, Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao discussed the matter of buying a mountain, don't worry about the silver, Mei Xiaotong has the silver in hand, not to mention this kind of valley with no owner deep mountains and old forests, it is not worth much, not to mention the capital, if you want to come to a place like the provincial capital, you can buy a lot of houses and land.

Silver is not the problem, it is the people who are the problem.

This place is good, but after all, it is too remote, who wants to come here, almost isolated from the world, and can't see outsiders?

Mei Xiaotong was a little worried, this person is not easy to hire.

An Huahao didn't take it to heart: "What's so difficult about this? People from outside the mountains don't want to come in, so we hire people from the mountains. Those hunters, such as those who go down to Chongzigou and Yingzigou, there will always be people who are willing to come. What's more, the hunters in this big black mountain, if there are not a hundred but also ninety, when the time comes, let people inquire, if there are those who are willing to come, we will give us more silver, and we can always hire people, so don't worry about it, just leave it to me! ”

Wang Laozhu became more and more uncomfortable, of course he knew that if the second child left, he was afraid that he would not come back until he died.

I worked hard to cultivate such a promising son, and finally got ahead, but I was forced by my mother-in-law and other children to have a home and couldn't go back.

Thinking about it again, the old Wang family has contributed money and efforts, but this fruit is going to be picked by the Qian family?

Now the two elders of the Qian family are following the second elder, isn't it cheaper for the Qian family?

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Wang Laozhu became.

Seeing that Wang Laozhu's face was not good-looking, Wang Yongan swallowed his saliva and said tentatively: "Dad, my son is out now, and this is all the credit of my father and sister in the family." Although my mother and sister-in-law have a deep misunderstanding of me, as a member of the Wang family, I naturally hope that the Wang family will be good. ”

"I originally planned to take my father and sister to live in the city, so that my father and mother could enjoy my blessings, and I could repay the kindness my parents gave me. What's more, my father has always taught us that brothers work together to break gold. Now that I'm out there, I'm weak, and I still want someone to help me. ”

"What's more, I have only had one daughter, Jin Hai, for many years, and in the future, someone will have to inherit my business, right? Although I have no sons, the sons born to my brothers are the same as my sons. My brothers sacrificed a lot for me, and I can't repay a single thing or two, thinking that when the time comes, I will bring a few school-age children to the city. ”

"There are a lot of people reading in the city, and the atmosphere is good, find a good teacher for a few children, ten or twenty years later, who knows if our Wang family will have another talent or a person? I can't make a forest alone, I'll push them again when the time comes

It's not good, you can still be a county master. ”

"At that time, our Wang family's uncles and nephews relied on each other, and within three generations, the Wang family was a family of eunuchs. It's just that now people don't believe me. Father, if not, you go to the city with your son to see, hearing is false, seeing is believing. You saw it with your own eyes, and when the time comes, you will come back and tell your mother and sister-in-law that you will believe it if you want to. ”

Wang Laozhu was quite moved, if he went to the city, it was not impossible.

At the very least, you have to let outsiders know that this Wang family is the second family, what kind of thing is the Qian family?

What's more, now in this house, the old woman is still angry with herself, it is better to go out by herself, maybe she is not at home, and the old woman can still dissipate her anger.

He knew better in his heart that since the separation, he had a share of silver and dividends in his hands, and several sons and daughters-in-law were staring at it, and the third child had already said it, leaving only half for himself.

The eldest daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and if she stays at home, she is afraid that the money will not be saved.

It's just that it's going to be the New Year, and the day when the family should be reunited, but he has to go to the county seat alone with the second family, and he is a little reluctant.

After living for such an age, he has never even been to Jing County, let alone Qi City, which is farther away than Jing County.

and a little timid.

Wang Yongzhen, who had been listening to the door for a long time, had a light in her eyes, and Mrs. Zhang came in with a knife before, so frightened that she hid in the house.

waited for Mrs. Zhang to be persuaded away by Mei Xiaotong before she dared to run out.

Hearing that Wang Yongan was going to take Wang Laozhu to the city for the New Year, and Wang Laozhu was still a little hesitant, she couldn't help but speak: "Dad, I think the second brother is a piece of filial piety, why don't you agree to him and follow the second brother to the city to have a look?" ”

Wang Yongan didn't expect Wang Yongzhen to help speak, so he glanced at Wang Yongzhen gratefully.

Wang Laozhu listened to his eldest daughter's persuasion, and his heart became more and more moved, but he still hesitated a little: "It's going to be the New Year, if I follow your second brother to the city, what will I do at home?" How can there be a family that is not reunited together for the New Year? Besides, I don't know anyone in this city, I don't know anyone anywhere, I don't even have anyone to talk to......"

Wang Yongan heard that Wang Laozhu was moved, and immediately said: "Dad, there is nothing to do before and after this year, the county master is also going to celebrate the New Year, and I happen to be at home with you!" Besides, there are also fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, and some people are talking to you. ”

Wang Yongzhen interjected: "No, Dad, the second brother will definitely arrange it properly for you." If you really don't get used to it, or bring our wood, although he is stupid, he is honest, and he will serve you along the way. ”

When Sun Mutou heard this at the door, he immediately frowned.

Wang Laozhu was a little moved, and looked at Wang Yongan.

Before Wang Yongan could speak, Wang Laozhu himself shook his head first: "No, you can't bring wood!" What if I take the wood with me and leave you alone? You're not in good health, and the wood can still take care of you if you stay by your side, besides,

The wood still carries filial piety, and it is not easy to go out. ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Yongzhen's face turned pale.

The Zhuang family said that they were particular and exquisite, and the father who died died, and the son had to keep filial piety for three years, and he could not go to other people's houses, especially during the New Year, and he had to stay in his own home.

But if you really don't get meat for three years, it's really hard, so many people secretly eat some meat at home, and no one really cares.

Wang Yongzhen's face turned pale and looked at Sun Mutou at the door, and suddenly remembered why as long as there was meat in the food she cooked, the kid Mu only ate steamed buns with pickles.

Especially yesterday's big pot of rabbit meat, the wood didn't even stretch out the chopsticks.

Her original thoughts were undoubtedly revealed in Sun Mutou's eyes.

Wang Yongzhen only felt that his face was hot, and he didn't care whether his father wanted to go to Wang Yongan's place, so he reluctantly said: "Dad, you're right, I'll go back to the house first." ”

So he lowered his head and hurried back to his house.

Sun Mutou also followed back to the house and quietly closed the door.

Since Wang Laozhu had moved his mind here, Wang Yongan persuaded him again, and soon he made up his mind.

Go to the city with Wang Yongan's family for the New Year, see the situation over there, and if it is good, take the old woman and daughter, and a few little grandsons together.

After making up his mind, Wang Laozhu is not a grinder, so he will go back to collect his luggage immediately.

Wang Yongan sent Wang Laozhu to the door, looking at his hurried footsteps, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

Here, Mrs. Zhang was surrounded by her daughter, son and son-in-law and returned home.

Along the way, Wang Yonggui had no words to exaggerate his mother-in-law: "Mother! You are truly my mother! You scolded just now, it's so relieving! It's just that the knife skills are almost there, why didn't you let the second bastard get some blood. ”

Mrs. Zhang took a sip of Wang Yonggui: "You are so capable, are you on?" ”

Wang Yonggui was busy laughing and begging for mercy, but the family was a rare relief after Wang Yongan came back.

After returning to the new house, Mrs. Zhang sent her sons away and called Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao to the room.

When she woke up the next morning, Mei Xiaotong was still in a daze on the kang when she heard movement in the yard.

When I opened my eyes, An Huahao had already gotten up.

There was the sound of footsteps of two people in the courtyard outside, and the sound of fists and kicks adding to meat.

Hurriedly turned over and got up, pushed open the window and saw that in the courtyard, An Huahao and Yang Zongbao were practicing fists and feet.

The two of you go back and forth, fists and feet are staggered, but the fight is lively.

However, it is estimated that Mei Xiaotong, who is still sleeping in the house, is still afraid of disturbing the house, and the two of them are very restrained, they did not make a sound, and even the fight was to the point.

It looks fierce and abnormal, but in fact, they are very measured with each other.

An Huahao's skills, Mei Xiaotong has a number in her heart, although compared to herself, it is still not as good as herself.

No way, I have a physical fitness technique, and I have a powerful buff blessing.

can

Mei Xiaotong knew that An Huahao's skills were indeed not weak, but she didn't expect Yang Zongbao to be at this age, and he could still fight against An Huahao without falling behind.

Seeing the subtlety, you can imagine how strong Yang Zongbao was at the beginning.

Mei Xiaotong watched it with interest for a while, and became interested, washed up, changed into short clothes, and walked to the yard.

When An Huahao and Yang Zongbao saw Mei Xiaotong come out, they looked at each other and smiled, and then they withdrew their hands.

Before An Huahao could speak, Mei Xiaotong rushed over with great interest: "Brother Song, let's practice?" ”

The smile on the corner of An Huahao's mouth immediately froze, "It's not okay-" tried hard to refuse.

"Okay! Good! We haven't practiced for a long time—" Mei Xiaotong moved her hands and feet.

An Huahao still wanted to refuse, but Yang Zongbao patted him on the shoulder, made a threatening gesture, asked An Huahao to play with Mei Xiaotong, and warned An Huahao to keep his hand and not hurt Mei Xiaotong.

An Huahao smiled bitterly and wanted to say, uncle, you warned the wrong person, what you should be worried about now is the safety of your nephew and son-in-law, and your niece is very safe.

But looking at Mei Xiaotong's enthusiastic appearance, he could only step forward hard, comforting himself, being beaten by Xiaotong was considered intimate contact, and rounding off was also considered a hug between the two.

In this way, he barely comforted himself, and gestured a gesture of invitation with the gesture of righteous death.

Yang Zongbao nodded, counting the boy's acquaintance, looking at the posture, he was ready to defend, and he didn't plan to make a move.

Then he was dumbfounded......

He used his jaw to drop his jaw to watch a complete scene. Anhua Hao didn't plan to make a move, he didn't have a chance to make a move at all.

You can't defend it!

It's also a shame that Mei Xiaotong retracted his strength, otherwise he would be beaten down like this, and he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.
