Chapter 48: Transformation

The father and daughter grabbed the medicine, thanked Dr. Sun again and again, and went outside the city to get a climbing plow. Xiaocao bought a few meat buns from the side of the road, fed the two dogs with great strength, and dripped some spirit stone water into the water they drank.

The two dogs immediately came to life, and on the way back, they pulled the plow and galloped all the way. Even the man who drove the horse-drawn plough was amazed at the speed and strength of the two dogs, and his horses could not catch up.

More than 50 miles, two brave dogs, don't run away in an hour. Before entering the village, the father and daughter went to the place where they had taken off the set and looked at it, and Xiaocao was not surprised to see that most of the sets had been harvested.

Two large sets, one was destroyed, and the other was a fat roe deer. It may be that it has been a long time, and the roe deer has been dead for a long time, and it has been frozen hard. Most of the other small sets are hares, pheasants, and a badger!

The grass didn't recognize the badger and poked at it curiously. Yu Hai finally had a smile on his face again: "The badger's hair is warm, go back to your father, let your mother make you a wool vest." The badger meat is delicious and very replenishing, so let's keep it for ourselves. You can keep the badger oil, and when Dr. You comes, you can prepare some medicine for scalds and burns. ”

"This badger has more than 20 catties, and it can be sold for hundreds of copper plates, can my grandmother agree to keep it for her own food?" Yu Xiaocao said casually without holding out any hope.

"The badger was hunted by our grandfather, and my father said to keep it for his own food, so he kept it for his own food!" Yu Hai's tone was more resolute and affirmative than before.

There are indeed a lot of prey, and the total is two or three hundred catties. Yu Hai piled the prey on the plow, walked beside him, and asked his daughter from time to time if she was cold or hungry.

Yu Xiaocao, who was wrapped into a huge cotton ball, except for her nostrils and eyes, couldn't help but sigh in her heart: My father really didn't say anything to his daughter!

The father and daughter came to Yu Hai's uncle's house first and returned the climbing plow. Xiaocao has persuaded his father on the road not to return the borrowed money for the time being. With debts, there will be a reason to sell prey and not hand it over in the future. It's time to have a small coffer!

After this time, Yu Hai also clearly realized the importance of having savings in his hands. The child's mother has been in poor health since she gave birth to the stone, and she coughed up blood a few times. Although the youngest daughter said that there was nothing big about it this time, he was still not at ease. There is not a single copper in his hand, if his wife and children have another illness, disaster or something, will he be an old man who wants to watch them suffer?

Therefore, when the little girl put away the fifty taels of silver tickets, he didn't say a word. When the little girl proposed not to repay the debt for the time being, he agreed without hesitation. In the future, he will still work hard for this family. But he will no longer ignore his small family and be blindly foolish!

"The sea, take the children into the house and warm up. It's a cold day, it's frozen, right? How's the grass? It doesn't look like it's very energetic! Yu Lichun bent down and picked up the grass and the quilt together, and walked into the house quickly.

The warm breath in the house greeted her, and Xiaocao didn't have time to see the furnishings in the house, so she was stuffed into the quilt of the warm kang. The hot quilt is so comfortable that it makes people drowsy.

"What did the doctor say?" Xiaocao Santang Uncle Yu Jiang brought two bowls of steaming ginger soup, handed one bowl to the second brother, and carefully coaxed the little niece to drink the ginger soup.

The ginger soup of the Yu family is boiled out only with ginger, with a strong ginger flavor and a spicy throat. Yu Xiaocao had a bitter face, wanting to escape the torture of drinking ginger soup, but was poured down by Uncle Santang's small mouth. Although his body was hot, his mouth and throat were uncomfortable.

Yu Hai drank the ginger soup in one go, looked at the bitter appearance of his daughter, and smiled unscrupulously: "Dr. Sun from Tongrentang showed it and prescribed a few pairs of medicines." Nothing big! ”

Of course, he wouldn't say that the child didn't have anything at all. Yu Hai is familiar with Zhang's temperament - money is her lifeline! If she doesn't get some blood, she'll never know it hurts. When she wants to do it to her daughter in the future, she has to think about it!

Sun took a few fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, peeled them and stuffed them into Xiaocao's hands: "Eat, change the taste in your mouth!" It's okay, this kid has suffered a lot of sins over the years! ”

"Thank you, grandma!" Xiaocao has a soft spot for roasted sweet potatoes, but unfortunately there is the old witch of the Zhang family at home, so she rarely has the opportunity to eat them. The sweet and fragrant roasted sweet potato instantly healed the heart hurt by the ginger soup.

Yu Hai chatted with his uncle and brother for a while, and when he saw his little daughter who had eaten roasted sweet potatoes, he rubbed her eyes and began to doze off, so he got up and said, "Uncle, I will definitely pay back your money before the year." Your kindness, nephew, will always be remembered in the bottom of my heart. ”

Yu Lichun hurriedly said: "My own family, what do you say about being kind or unkind!" Don't blame your father, he's always been a money-savvy person, your stepmother...... Alas, don't mention it! Don't worry about money. We're not in a hurry to use it! ”

Yu Hai put on his own thick leather jacket for his daughter. The wide leather jacket was almost dragged to the ground, and Xiaocao looked like a confused star, stumbling behind his father. Yu Jiang saw that it was not a problem, so he picked up the little guy and prepared to send the two back.

Yu Hai took out a fat rabbit and a pheasant from a pile of prey, and said to the uncle: "Before going to the town, I went to the mountains and laid a few sets. Perhaps it is difficult to find food in the snowy mountains, but it has caught a lot of prey. This rabbit and pheasant are to be packed up and frozen by the eldest aunt, and a dish will be added during the New Year. ”

Where is Yu Lichun willing to collect: "The sea, the weather is cold, and it is not easy for you to hunt." After drinking the small herbs, I can't say that I have to catch them. You better take it back, and Ming'er will go to the town to exchange it for silver......"

"Uncle, if you don't accept it, you will look down on your nephew! If you hadn't lent me money today, I really don't know what I would have done...... This is your nephew's filial piety, please be sure to accept it! Yu Hai's attitude was very resolute.

Yu Lichun also knew that this nephew had always been stubborn, and if he didn't accept it, he would probably be in a hurry.

When I came out of my uncle's house, it was already dusk. Yu Hai stepped on the frozen snow and walked in the direction of his home, but his heart was gradually covered with coldness.

Closed doors, cold stoves...... Hearing the movement, only the door of Westinghouse opened eagerly, and his wife and children hurried up to meet him. He was so stupid before, he would only make his wife and children endure again and again, but he dragged down his wife's body, and his daughter almost died.

The door of the main room was still tightly closed, and there was a faint sound of banging and scolding from inside. The window of the east room quietly opened a crack. The eyes inside made contact with his gaze and suddenly retracted. The sound of the windows closing is especially clear in the quiet evening.

Yu Jiang frowned slightly, he put the grass that was sleeping kowtow and napping into the kang in the West House, and then said goodbye. Grandma isn't pro, isn't grandpa either? The second uncle has been doing things more and more out of order in the past two years!

This time, Yu Jiang is wrong to blame the old Yu Tou. After dinner, Lao Yutou saw that his son and granddaughter had not come back, so he walked out in his clothes, wanting to greet him. However, the two men who followed the prey in the mountains were mistaken.

When Yu Hai was decocting medicine under the eaves, Old Yu Tou came in from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he went to the West House, went in and looked at the sleeping grass, asked a few words with concern, and said, "You two haven't eaten yet, have you?" Ask your daughter-in-law to roll a bowl of noodles for you, and then beat a poached egg for Xiaocao. ”

Yu Hai glanced at the main house, shook his head and said, "There are not many white noodles at home, so let's keep the dumplings for the New Year." I put on a badger today, and I will clean it up in a while and give it to the bowl of broth to drink. ”

Seeing his son's disposal of the prey, Lao Yutou didn't use the tone of inquiry anymore, and the words he wanted to say paused before he continued: "It's okay!" Badger meat replenishes people, give children more food. ”

After speaking, he walked slowly to the main house with his hands behind his back. Lao Yutou sensitively noticed the subtle changes in his son, and his heart was full of sighs - it seems that this time, he really broke his son's heart!

Yu Xiaocao was woken up by the fragrant smell of meat. The badger meat is already delicious, and coupled with Liu's craftsmanship, the broth cooked is almost to hook out people's gluttony.

The family sat around the kang and enjoyed the delicious broth. Yu Hai looked at the meat in the bowl, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'll go and send two bowls to the main house!" ”

Liu's action of drinking soup stopped for a moment, and continued to drink the soup with his head down, without saying anything. Xiao Shi pursed his lips and said unwillingly: "The second sister is sick, and the milk is not willing to pay." Why did you give her broth! ”

Xiaocao chewed the meat in her mouth carefully, pinched the little guy's face, and said, "After all, she is the elder of the family." She is unkind, but we can't be unfilial. ”

Yu Hai glanced at the little girl and nodded secretly in his heart. Indeed, the word "filial piety" is greater than the sky. The juniors eat meat, and if they don't send it to the elders, the reputation of their house will be over. Besides, there is a Li family who likes to chew the root of his tongue. I grabbed her pigtails and didn't preach it to the sky!

Yu Hai came out of the kitchen with the broth, and saw Li at the door of the east house, stretching his neck and looking towards the kitchen. Her greedy son shouted behind her, "Broth! I'm going to drink broth! Why can Westinghouse steal a drink and not give us food? ”

Yu Dashan pulled the two of them back, and was about to close the door, when he saw Yu Hai, he had a simple smile on his face: "The sea, your nephew is used to his mother." Don't worry about it......"

"There's broth in the kitchen, so I'd like to drink it myself." Yu Hai entered the main house with the broth.

Zhang squinted his eyes and looked at him with a snarky expression: "Yo! My wife is not that blessed, the year is not good, and she still drinks soup and eats meat, and she is not afraid of losing her life! ”

Old Yu glared at her and said, "Don't say anything!" I agreed to kill the badger, and the second daughter-in-law and Xiaocao are not in good health, so they should make up for it. What is the longevity of the meat you hunt if you eat it? If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all!" ”
