Boss Li sighed and lowered his head, his daughter-in-law married him, he really didn't enjoy happiness, but didn't everyone live like this? Is it possible to be poor? In his eyes, there are more people in the village who are poorer than their family, just say that in Wang Mazi's family in the village, the poor ones have long been unable to open the pot, the east family borrows the west family, and others don't get by, no matter what happens to their own family, they almost eat and wear, and they don't go around begging for food.

Seeing that Boss Li lowered his head, knowing his weakness, Wang continued aggrievedly, "Hua'er is nine years old, and she has been at home for a few years, she has grown so big, she has not worn any new clothes, and she is wearing her aunt's old clothes, and after two years, she will be married, and there is no shadow of the dowry, I don't want my daughter to be like me in the future."

Thinking of the dowry, it is Wang's heart disease, she can't get over it, no matter what, she will never let her daughter do the same.

Boss Li listened to it, and he didn't know how to comfort her, so he went to the courtyard to accompany the old man to chat.

The men of the Li family have a problem, they are stupid, they can't coax people, look at Old Man Li, Li Lao's second child, Li Laosan's third temperament.

Seeing that Boss Li ignored him, Wang was even more sad, originally a little pretending at first, but in the end he was really sad, and he was afraid that the voice would be too loud and someone would hear the joke, so he could only cry in a low voice.

In the evening, Qian is responsible for cooking, Xiaohua Xiaoduo is responsible for laying hands, Xiaoqin is responsible for lighting the fire, Yao Pozi is in charge of directing from time to time, the kitchen is the place where women are in charge, and the men are resting in the courtyard, and they are very tired after a busy day.

When the meal was ready, there was no order to eat, the family was waiting, Li Lao Er had not come back yet, and the meal would be started when everyone had arrived.

Mrs. Yao brought a small stool and sat next to Mr. Li to chatter, and the topic turned to the pheasant, and she became excited.

"I don't know how much it can be sold, have any of you ever heard the price of pheasants in the village say"

Boss Li shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't usually sold it with them."

Li Laosan didn't know anymore, he was usually silent and alone, and he didn't pay attention to that.

Mrs. Yao pouted stupidly, her sons were useless, and she didn't know what to ask.

Old Man Li shook off his cigarette stick and thought hard, "Your grandfather went to sell it before, and at that time, a pheasant was sold for seventy or eighty yuan, and now it has been so many years, and I don't know the market price."

When Mrs. Yao heard it, seventy or eighty yuan, obediently, so expensive, the pork is only fifteen yuan a catty, and it takes several catties of meat. I rejoiced in my heart, and I was even more happy.

"It's still our girl who is amazing, she can always catch prey, she caught a rabbit yesterday, and she caught a pheasant today, I see, our girl must be a blessed one."

Old Man Li knew that she was a rare girl, how could this prey be so easy to catch, it must have been caught by the trap of the hunter in the mountain, and she picked it up. But he won't say it, after all, he knows the temper of Mrs. Yao at home, and no one can say anything about her daughter.

His daughter, especially the three sons above, is also very rare for his daughter, otherwise he would not know that his mother-in-law is biased, and he has never persuaded him.

When the sky gradually darkened, Li Lao Er came back in a hurry, walking fast and urgently, it can be seen that he came back in a hurry.

"Mother, I'm back"

Mrs. Yao hurriedly let him into the house, the family didn't eat and waited for him, and the oil lamp that he was usually reluctant to do was also lit, the oil lamp was very small, and the light was not strong, but in this family, it was also a luxury.

Li Lao Er knew what his mother cared about most, and he was not ambiguous, so he took out the money bag, handed it to Mrs. Yao, and handed over the salt that his mother had bought in the back basket.

Mrs. Yao took the money bag and put it in her arms, blocking everyone's curious eyes, handed the salt to Qian, and asked her to put it in the kitchen.

"Eat, eat first, your father is hungry."

A few children don't have much to think about money, and eating is what they care about, so they don't pay attention to this issue.

Boss Li, although Li Laosan was curious, he didn't have any ideas.

Wang had an idea, wanted to know how much money he would get, and wondered if his little flower was still going up the mountain with him, and whether he could share it, besides, even if he didn't, then whether Li Lao Er picked up the money from the middle, she was also very concerned.

The Qian family has nothing to do with himself, and he doesn't care about it. She is a person who understands, this family, Mrs. Yao has the final say, followed by Li Lanxi, the sister-in-law, as long as she is involved with these two people, she must give way, just say sister-in-law, don't look at her all day long, instructing herself to work, and being lazy, but she has suffered a lot from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up the table, Mrs. Yao opened the money bag with an oil lamp in front of everyone.

There are copper coins inside, spread out on the table for a big pile, Yao Pozi counted carefully, good guy, there are two hundred and thirty big money, doesn't it say that a pheasant is only seventy or eighty, why are there so many? .

Li Lao Er touched his head and explained with a smile, "Mother, when I went, the market was over, so I took it to the restaurant to ask, and the owner of the restaurant said that this pheasant is fat, grows well, and gives one hundred and fifty yuan, and the pheasants brought by the hunter are eighty to one hundred yuan, and then I bought seventy yuan of salt, and these are the rest."

Mrs. Yao was rare, counting the copper plates back and forth, and when the count was enough, she put it in the money bag and put it up.

Thinking about it, he turned his head and took out a small box at the head of the bed, and took out a black key on his chest to open the box and put the money in.

Wang stretched out his head to see how much money was still in the box, and before he came, he was in a hurry to see that Mrs. Yao had already locked it.

Wang cursed in his heart, this dead old woman, I don't know how much money she has saved, there must be a lot of good things in that box.

When Mrs. Yao saw her buttocks, she knew that she was going to shit and pee, and she didn't talk nonsense with her, this was earned by her daughter, and she had to save it and give it to her daughter as a dowry in the future.

At night, Mr. Li had insomnia, he felt a little uneasy, if the girl really took the prey in someone else's trap, it would not be authentic. Seeing that his mother-in-law was happy, and he didn't know what to tell her, he could only keep silent, looking at the dark roof and not falling asleep.

Mrs. Yao didn't know what was going on in Old Man Li's mind, so she turned over and fell asleep.

Li Lanxi read a book in the space for a night, but fortunately, the time in the space was different from the outside world, at least five times different, because she felt that she had read for about seven or eight hours, and the outside world had only passed less than two hours.

This is exciting for Li Lanxi, which makes it more convenient for her to recite the heart method, as long as she is familiar with the heart method and cooperates with the light exercises, then she will not talk about walking sideways in the mountains, and she will be more than self-preservation.

Early the next morning, Mr. Li went to the village to go around, he pondered all night that he was not at ease, there were three hunters in the village, he went to wander around, to see if he could talk to each other, to see which one had lost the prey.
