Chapter 24 Inquiry
"You still hold a grudge against the past." Leng Yue splashed the bath water on Nianzi's face.
"Nope!"
As soon as Nianzi wiped his face, Xiu'er thought that her father and mother were having a water fight, so she also joined in, "It's raining!" ”
This year, there is a piece on his back that is completely soaked.
Leng Yue scolded with a smile: "What are you doing, Xiu'er, now that you are splashing your father wet on a cold day, your father will beat your ass later, and see if it rains on you." ”
"That mother also got her daddy wet, will that daddy beat her mother's ass?" Xiu'er tilted her head and asked innocently.
"Fight, why don't you fight! I'll fight it in the evening, but now I'll hit the embroidered ass first. Nianzi pretended to be angry and raised his hand.
"Brother save me!" Xiu'er shouted wow.
Jin'er didn't have time to buckle the last button, so she rushed to Xiu'er, and opened her hands to protect her sister with righteousness, "Daddy, my sister is still young, and she wants to beat me." ”
"Silly boy! As long as you love your sister, your father is reluctant to beat you. Leng Yue picked up the little embroidery who had taken a bath, picked up the new clothes and pinched the embroidery's little face, "Xiu'er is wearing new clothes, it looks beautiful, and when she gets dressed, she will eat dumplings, are you happy?" ”
"Happy!" Xiu'er jumped straight on the bed in her new clothes, and suddenly thought of something, and suddenly hugged Leng Yue's neck and kissed her: "Mother, you are so good!" Xiu'er feels so happy. ”
"Thank you, mother!" Jin'er raised her head and suddenly thanked Leng Yue very maturely.
Leng Yue was a little confused, Jin'er's appearance really shouldn't be what he should have at his age.
"I'm your mother, it's what a mother should do to give you a good life, thank you." Leng Yue touched Jin'er's head.
After getting dressed, Leng Yue wrapped a scarf and went to the kitchen to chop dumplings, and the family sat by the stove and wrapped dumplings while talking, happy and happy.
After eating and drinking, Leng Yue took the child to the kang, and even the old man had to stay to wash the dishes, but Leng Yue couldn't resist him, so he had to follow him.
Winter children love to be sleepy, Xu is long body, Jin'er Xiu'er has not been on the kang for a few minutes, one lying on this end and the other falling asleep.
There seemed to be someone outside the house, Leng Yue covered the two children with a quilt, and was about to open the door to see who it was, and the door was pushed open.
"It's so warm, even the old man, what are you doing with this warm house?" As soon as the village chief came in, he felt the heat and said enviously.
Even the old man looked at Leng Yue, and was proud of this daughter-in-law, "This is made by Jinxiu Niang, saying that as long as the house is on fire, the house will be warm, what is going on, I don't know." ”
"Jinxiu Niang is getting more and more powerful now, I heard that Jinxiu Niang went to the town today to make a lot of money, did she dig any treasure in the mountains?" The village chief heard that the Lian family had made a small fortune, and scolded the people in the village who wanted to come to the door, so he came alone to quietly inquire about the news.
"What's the baby, it's all Jinxiu Niang's life in exchange, I just took out a few bird's nests and got some money." Even the old man said honestly.
Leng Yue poured hot tea and handed it to the village smile, and greeted him with a smile: "Sit down, village chief, the house is simple, you are free." ”
"It's not simple, looking at these new furniture and new quilts, it feels like a new home, how festive it is, it's good." The village chief touched the new table that Leng Yue had bought from the town, and was very envious.
"Village chief, the rent ......" Even the old man was afraid that the village chief came to ask for rent, so it was a little difficult to speak.
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry, I'll just sit down and see if Nianzi's injury is better." The village chief drank a sip of water and sat on the side of the kang and said, "I heard that your foot was also cured by your daughter-in-law, but I haven't seen your daughter-in-law understand medicine before." ”
"Alas, I'm just beating me right to help me put my feet back in place, if it's good, can I still lie on the bed? The village chief doesn't listen to the nonsense of people outside, how can he know what kind of medicine is inside. Nianzi knew that the news that he and Yueniang went to the town to buy a lot of things had already spread in the village, and at this time, the village chief came to his house, just to find out how his family got a sum of money.
The village chief smiled, Nianzi's family has lived in Miaoshan Village for two years, and has been keeping to himself, but his daughter-in-law came to him quite unexpectedly, entered the mountain, called prey, not to mention, and was made a small fortune by her, it was really shit luck.
"Speaking of rumors outside, your daughter-in-law has gained a lot from going into the mountains this time, haven't you heard your daughter-in-law know how to hunt before?" The village chief probed step by step.
"She will always be, but I am a man at home, I can't ask a woman to go into the mountains to hunt with me, how can I let my daughter-in-law suffer that crime, but now I am injured and there is no way, the child's mother went to the mountains hard, fortunately, the child's mother is fine, otherwise this family really has no way out." Nianzi lied without blinking his eyes.
"Oh." The village chief's mind is not whether the young daughter-in-law will hunt, but what he has always cared about is what his daughter-in-law will get in the mountains? So valuable? "Your daughter-in-law is really rich, she just entered the mountain for the first time, and she got a good baby, right?"
"What a good baby, it's just a bird's nest in exchange for life." Nianzi didn't plan to hide it from the village chief, and he also knew that he couldn't hide it, and the bird's nest on the cliff was not something anyone could pick if they wanted to.
The village chief was speechless, "Bird's nest? Now the bird's nests are in the deepest part of the cliff, and your daughter-in-law went to pick that thing regardless of the danger? ”
"yes, otherwise how can I say that I exchanged my life for it." Nianzi sighed.
The village chief knew that the Lian family made a fortune this time because of the bird's nest, so he didn't ask in the middle, in this village because of the bird's nest picking and the death and injury of the man is not a few, but also the daughter-in-law of the year is lucky, she picked someone is fine, otherwise from such a high cliff, not to die but also to be seriously injured, this money, not to make money.
"It's not too early, you guys rest early, I should go back too." The village chief patted Nianzi and was about to go out, turned around and glanced at the kang in the house, and asked, "Nianzi, help me ask your daughter-in-law, how much silver is needed to make such a kang, and I want to make one too." ”
"Okay, I'll ask my daughter-in-law, so that she can go to your house to help when she is free." Nianzi nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, take care of your injuries." After the village chief finished speaking, he left Lian's house.
Leng Yue came out of another room, she poured water for the village chief and went to another house, Leng Yue didn't have much affection for the village chief, she took more than a dozen catties of meat from her house during the day, and estimated that she wanted to come to explore the wind at night, no wonder she could be the village chief, a ghost and a ghost.
"You told him?" Leng Yue saw that Lian Lao Han closed the courtyard door and asked when he entered the main house.
Nianzi took Leng Yue's hand and said with a smile: "There's nothing to hide, just tell him that you picked bird's nest and didn't say anything about the town." ”
"Hmm." Leng Yue also felt that there was nothing to hide about this, bird's nest is a thing in the mountains, and it is not anyone's house, now in this winter, in addition to the bird's nest in the mountains, there are very few prey.
When the men who hunted came back today, I am afraid that they will not enter the mountains again.
