It is said that Ziqing heard her father talk about the golden retriever, and remembered the golden retriever in her hand, just to verify whether it really has a miraculous effect. "Dad, don't go looking for Langzhong, I have a golden retriever."

After saying that, Ziqing went into the house to rummage, she remembered that it was put in a purse given by the Shen family, and she really found it, Zeng Ruixiang asked suspiciously, "How do you have this thing?" ”

Zeng Ruixiang took it and opened it, and said happily: "Oh, this is it." Then he carefully took some and applied it to Zifu's wound, not to mention, it really stopped bleeding immediately.

Ziqing wondered what kind of ingredient this was so effective, "Dad, this is given to me by Aunt Shui, saying that it also saved my aunt's life, so I can keep it." ”

"Then you can keep it, and it is also your chance. There is nowhere to buy this one, even if you have money. Looking at Zifu's wounds, Zeng Ruixiang is in the mood to tell the legendary experience of Old Man Xiao.

It turned out that the old man Xiao was an orphan, and he learned a good hunting skill from his master since he was a child, when he first came to Wutong Town, he rented the house of the old grandmother (great-grandmother), he only had a bow and arrow and a good dagger on his body, and he was dressed in a ragged warehouse, and the rent was still owed first, and he would pay it after he sold the prey. The old grandmother saw him pitiful, and often helped him.

Old man Xiao made his fortune because he killed a big tiger, and there were two little tigers next to the big tiger at that time, not long after he was born, so he took advantage of a loophole, and the young old man Xiao was still hesitant to catch the little tiger back, because the tiger was full of treasures. At this time, another big tiger came, it is estimated that the two are a pair, the dead one is the female, the male tiger is angry, and he is about to pounce on him, he is holding a small tiger in his hand, the big tiger stops, whimpering.

Old man Xiao couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to put down the little tiger easily, so he stepped back, who knew that the big tiger misunderstood, ran away, Old man Xiao was wondering, and the big tiger came back after a while, with a little golden retriever like a dog in his mouth, the old man didn't understand what it meant, the tiger made a wound on his leg, bleeding, pulled out a few hairs and put it on, and the blood stopped immediately. Then the big tiger raised his leg and pointed at the little tiger in his hand, whimpering with sorrow.

Only then did Old Man Xiao understand that the big tiger was going to exchange this thing for the little tiger with him. Originally, he didn't want to hurt the little tiger, he was struggling to get out, seeing this, he quickly put down the little tiger, the big tiger put down the golden retriever, took the two little tigers away, and looked back at the tigress on the ground step by step.

Old Man Xiao saw that they were far away, so he picked up the golden retriever dog on the ground, in fact, it was not a dog, it was something like a dog, he had not seen it, and he asked many people and did not understand what it was, of course, Old Man Xiao did not say its miraculous effect.

Later, Old Man Xiao sold the tigress that he dragged back, and made a fortune, married Zeng, bought a house and land, and later opened a baked cake shop at home, and he still made a living by hunting, but from then on, he never fought tigers again.

It turned out that there was such an adventure, the evening breeze blew and blew through Ziqing's heart, sour and astringent, and I don't know why.

Ziqing went back to the house and put away the purse, and even Xiao Xiushui had no way of knowing that a small inadvertent act of kindness in his childhood actually changed the fate of his life. Of course, that's all for later.

From that day on, Zeng Ruixiang and the others didn't go to catch the earth frogs, and it took Zifu's legs more than ten days to get better. Ziqing saw heaven and earth accompanying him.

On this day, Ziqing saw that the watermelons at home were almost sold, and seeing that it was still so hot this day, she was worried that there would be a drought. cleverly reminded Shen that he was going to pull out melon vines and plant potatoes. Shen also has this meaning, the yield of potatoes is high, it is not difficult to take care of, and the income is stronger than that of other varieties. And the four acres of potatoes in the dry land should be harvested, she went to see it, and was not affected by the drought as much as rice, so she dug up the land in the yard and planted the potatoes for the last season.

Although there is no harvest of early rice, but Ziqing's family is fine, originally one acre of paddy field, the impact is not great, this year's watermelon harvest of more than 500 taels of silver, deducting the silver to buy the mountain There are still more than 480 taels left at home. The Shen family wanted to buy some paddy fields, but Ziqing didn't worry about them, and she was in charge of the chickens in the back mountain.

As he was talking, Qiu Yu came to deliver the letter, and the four mao of the Chunyu family still wanted to make a New Year's wine, Zeng Ruixiang and the Shen family really didn't like them, and they obviously wanted to give a gift here, and they received three gifts for a meal in the old year, and they were not satisfied.

Zeng Ruixiang listened and said: "It doesn't matter what you want, just prepare something to mean." ”

Shen pondered for a long time or made a pair of clothes, a pair of shoes, there are ready-made cloths at home, and it doesn't cost much left and right, since the conditions at home are good, Shen always buys cloth in pieces, saying that it is cheap, and there are many children in the family, and they grow up quickly, of course, it costs to use cloth, and they don't wear patched clothes like before, and it is even more expensive to add those sheets and quilt covers that Ziqing tinkered with.

The gift is ready, but no one wants to follow that day, Zifu pushes Zilu, Zilu pushes Ziqing, Ziqing pushes Zishou, Zeng Ruixiang saw this and said: "It's better for you to go by yourself, you can't eat well left and right, and you have to be distracted to take care of a child, so don't go to make trouble." ”

"Dad, you go with your mother, we have all accompanied you, but you haven't been there, and your father still accompanied your mother in the old years." Ziqing said.

With Zeng Ruixiang by his side, the Shen family was still quite happy, Ziqing followed them to the old house, ready to find Xiao Xiushui, the golden retriever hadn't thanked her properly, Ziqing picked a watermelon from the ground, it was not big, there were not a few left, and he went to pick a few pear melons, Zeng Ruixiang helped Ziqing carry it.

When he arrived at the old house, Tian thought that Shen's gift was light again, and pointed to Sang and Huai, but Shen didn't care, not once or twice, which time was she not light? Zeng Ruixiang was a little unhappy, but his mother's words, no matter how bad they sounded, he couldn't refute them.

Ziqing wanted to say a few words, but she didn't want to think about it, her family was on the beam, she moved to a new house, and the whole family came twice, and only gave a gift of ten cents.

Seeing Ziqing carrying things to the back room, Tian was even more angry, but with the old man here, she couldn't say anything, just said, "Ziqing, your aunt's family hasn't eaten the watermelon you grow." ”

"Grandma, didn't my aunt's family grow it themselves? Have you forgotten the melons that my sister-in-law came to get? Ziqing asked deliberately.

"Your aunt's family doesn't know if it's planted or not, didn't you send watermelons to your aunt's house a few days ago, why did you send them again?" Qiu Yu asked.

"Go ahead, it's hard to do anything for the kid." The old man spoke, and Ziqing didn't wait for the Tian family to speak again, so he went out.

Xiao Xiushui was happy to see Ziqing, picked up a pear melon to wash and bite, and pulled Ziqing to talk in her room. Ziqing saw that one of the beds in her room had been removed, and she and Xiuying were left in this room. Ziqingyang: She told her father's story.
