Chapter 20: An Unexpected Bonus

"Whoa." Dajin wrapped the rice in his mouth and responded vaguely.

"Sanjin's family, Ming'er, you accompany me on a trip." Wei turned his face and looked at Xie and said.

"Okay, mother." Xie Shi agreed happily, but muttered in his heart. Seeing that the New Year is coming soon, what is the old lady going to do in the county?

"Mother, I'll go with you too." Zhou couldn't think of a reason, but it was always right to follow.

Wei glanced at Zhou: "I'm not going to the county seat to eat some delicacies from the mountains and seas, what are you doing?" ”

Zhou was sneered at by her mother-in-law, she was delicious, but she could do work. It's like the second room sick Xi Shi, it's too tiring to take an embroidery needle, and it's not like the third room to know how to behave well.

"Mother, look, when I entered the county seat, Dajin wanted to watch the ox cart, it was inconvenient to follow, I had the strength to do anything." Zhou smiled and said.

"Okay then." After a while, Wei Shi responded.

Du Mei has been eating as if nothing happened, she can't care what they do, what matters to her is how to make a bowl of soup for her mother, and she can't cut off her brother's rations.

After eating, Xie followed Wei into the main house, Zhou followed with a shy face, Wei wanted to stop him, but he gave up.

"Since you have to come, let's take a look." Wei took out a handkerchief from the cage and opened it layer by layer, revealing the jaund that he had snatched from Du Mei that day.

"This ...... What the hell is this? Zhou stared.

"Sanjin's family, you used to be a girl from a big family, take a look." Wei pushed the yellow pimple in front of Xie.

Xie was able to look at it carefully at this time, this jaundice is golden and yellow, flat and square, round and pleasant, and there are two words "Yonghe" cast on it.

Xie Shi gently picked it up and put it in the palm of his hand, which was heavy. Zhou's eyes looked at her well, as if in the blink of an eye, the jaundice would be ripped off by Xie.

"Mother, I guess it's a gold bill, but it may also be brass water." Xie Shi put the yellow pimple back on the veil, and she didn't dare to say it to death, because she had never seen real gold.

"If it's golden, where did Du Mei's girl steal it?" As soon as Zhou wanted to touch it, Wei rolled up his handkerchief.

"I'm afraid what she said is true." Xie glanced at Wei. If this is a real piece of gold, rummaging through the real Dujiagou, there is no one, where to steal it?

"Good boy, it's really pie in the sky." Zhou's Cha tongue.

"Whether it's true or not, let's talk about it." Wei couldn't look at Zhou's greedy face, but he couldn't see that he was the same as her.

"By the way, the eldest nephew of my second sister-in-law's family is an apprentice in the county Wanfu Money Bank, and I will find him there and find out after a check." Zhou slapped his thigh and said in surprise.

"Okay, I'll take it for testing tomorrow." Wei couldn't think of any other way.

"I'm tired, go." Wei sent his daughter-in-law out and put the yellow pimple in the cage again.

The beauty in Zhou's heart, this piece of gold, how many good things do you have to buy. But when I think about it, no matter how much I can't get into my hands, I can't do what I want to do. She suddenly felt annoyed in her heart, why she had been so stupid as to hand over the gold in the first place.

Not to mention that Zhou's was so entangled, it was only said that Du Mei had lunch, left the bowl for his sisters to brush, and went out to the mouth of the fish again.

In winter, the weather is dry and dry, and the reeds and cattails are completely dry, and the reeds and cattails cut in the morning have been picked home by Du Zhong and Du Shu. Suddenly, there was no shelter on the river beach, and it seemed much more empty.

The water kiln is still the same as in the morning, and there is not even a blister. Du Mei squatted by the water's edge in frustration, and it seemed that he could only steam another bowl of eggs at night.

"Plum!" Du Shu shouted excitedly from a distance. The black girl rushed towards her like a broken arrow.

"Meizi, the black girl caught a pheasant in the morning!" Du Shu ran wheezing.

"Really?" Du Mei turned his head, a look of surprise. The brunette is resting her paws on top of her, enjoying the stroke.

"Mmmm, as soon as you left in the morning, the black girl came back, the chicken is still alive, I'll hide it in the reeds, I'll get it for you right away." Du Shu burrowed into the reeds, and after a while he carried out a fat gray-brown pheasant.

"In the morning, I obviously looked like a male." Du Mei wondered. Male pheasants have bright plumage and long tail feathers.

"I wonder too, but this is really caught by a black girl." Du Shu tied the pheasants stronger and put them in Du Mei's bamboo basket.

"Is that brunette finding the pheasant's nest?" Du Mei looked at the black girl, and the black girl's round eyes also looked at her. Du Mei wants to get wild eggs even more. The black girl seemed to understand her words, biting the hem of her skirt and dragging her away.

"Brother Shu, I'll go and see with the black girl." Du Mei said to Du Shu.

"I'll go with you." Du Shu said with a sickle.

"Hurry up and cut, look at this day, maybe it will rain tomorrow, I'll go back as soon as I go." Du Mei said as he walked and turned his head.

"Come back quickly, I've been waiting for you here!" Du Shu is also in a dilemma, Du Zhong weaves a reed mat at home, let him come out and cut some more, if he runs away with Du Mei, this job has to be done by his father.

The brunette who runs in front of her, occasionally stops to wait for Du Mei. After running through the Du family's mountain forest, he entered the main mountain range of Shewu Mountain, and the mountain gradually became steeper.

The black girl led the way, walked halfway up the mountain, waded through a mountain spring, Du Mei only felt that he had entered a misty place, the wisps were like a dream, and this place was actually warmer than the outside, and the wild grass on the ground was more lush and bright than the outside.

The brunette stopped in a bush and whined. Du Mei stepped forward to see a nest made of fluffy grass and chicken feathers, and there were more than a dozen wild eggs lying quietly in it.

The pheasant has been caught, and the eggs should not be kept. Du Mei even took the nest together, counted, and there were fifteen. Coupled with the delivery in the morning, her mother was almost guaranteed to have an egg to eat every day.

Du Mei searched around again, but found nothing more. She was curious about the fog, and kept looking for it, and actually found a natural hot spring water in a hidden mountain col, and there were several small holes in the mountain next to it, but the hole was covered by weeds, and it was easy to see.

The temperature is abnormal these days, and it feels like a rainy March. Du Mei ran all the way up, already sweating. The place was so inaccessible that she didn't even think about it, so she put down the bamboo basket, took off her clothes, and soaked in the hot springs, leaving only her head exposed. The brunette lay on the shore and watched her.

The water in this open-air hot spring is forty or fifty degrees, and it is really warm and relieving in this cold winter wax moon. Du Mei turned to talk to the black girl, but the black girl looked up and barked twice in a low voice from a tree high up.
