Liu Hu nodded and said, "After you say this, it's really true!" There is also a corn plant, which is also the seed she asked the prince of the county for, and she boldly made a military order. Fortunately, before the locust plague, the corn could be picked, otherwise it would have been really hanging! You're a little niece, smart and bold, and if you were a boy, you would definitely be able to make a career! ”

Yu Caifeng glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with the girl?" Isn't that quite capable? helped the family build five blue brick houses and earned a lot of family business! ”

Liu Hu smiled and said, "It's not that girls are bad!" When the girl is older, she will marry after all! That is, your brother, spoiling Xiaocao and tossing by her. If she marries into someone else, can she still do everything like now? Well, let's not talk about that. I'd like to discuss something with you, why don't we open some vegetable plots to grow early-maturing vegetables in early spring next year? Let's sell to the surrounding towns or prefectures, and it is not considered to compete with the sea for business. ”

Yu Caifeng thought for a while and agreed: "While everyone is idle, let's hurry up and build the house, learn from the old house, build a bigger yard, and grow more vegetables." If you are out in the vegetable garden, I am afraid that I will not be able to watch it at night! ”

"Hmmm! Just make a big yard and build it with stones! Liu Hu immediately decided.

The next day, with the help of Yu Hai, more than a dozen young and middle-aged villagers were found to continue to build the Liu family's house. The Liu family's house is also at the foot of the West Mountain, about 500 meters away from the Yu family. The family decided to keep a low profile and build a civil structure house.

Autumn is already in the middle of nowhere, and it should be the busiest time, because the locust plague is no longer able to grow crops, and the villagers are idle at home, either digging for sea intestines and collecting oysters, or going to the town or docks to do odd jobs.

Because of the large number of people digging up sea intestines and oysters, the daily income has plummeted sharply compared to usual, and in the past, you could get a hundred and ten yuan a day, and you can dig a pound and sell it for forty or fifty yuan in your spare time.

There are so many people waiting at the docks and in town to do odd jobs that sometimes they don't have to wait for days to find business. If it weren't for the cheap food, I am afraid that I would have starved to death all over the place.

The Liu family built a house for cash, thirty literary wages a day, and one meal in the middle. Although the salary is not very high, Liu Hu is Yu Hai's in-law, and Yu Hai has a good relationship with this sister, so the descendants in the village are happy to sell Yu Hai a favor.

After working for two days, these juniors were full of praise for the Liu family's food, and they all said that the business was worth it! The Liu family's meal is a sturdy two-sided noodle cake, with a lot of white noodles and meat for every meal. Either it is the soft and fragrant pork head meat, or the fried fragrant pork intestine, or the bad fish that is crispy and rotten......

The most pleasing thing is that in addition to the dried vegetables, there will be a stir-fried greens at every meal. You must know that in this year, a plate of fried vegetables is sold at the price of roast chicken and roast duck in Zhenyulou, and the gold is very expensive! There is also grasshopper sauce fried by Yu Xiaocao himself, which makes the future generations full of praise. Even if you don't have any other dishes, you can eat two more cakes with just the spicy grasshopper sauce!

With delicious meals, the younger generations are more motivated to work. Throwing mud, felling wood, masonry walls...... Everyone is willing to put in the effort, and no one is lazy.

In less than a month, the Liu family's three adobe houses were built, and they accepted Yu Xiaocao's suggestion to use green tiles, which saved time and energy for repairing the houses every year. Moreover, the thatched roof is easy to leak rain in summer, and it cannot withstand wind and snow in winter. With the current financial resources of the Liu family, the blue brick houses can be built affordably, so why bother to live comfortably in order to save that little money?

The Liu family is closer to Xishan than the Yu family, and Yu Hai suggests that his brother-in-law dig some traps near the wall, just in case.

In fact, their worries are not unfounded. At Liu's house, the vegetable patch in the yard was just sorted out and sprinkled with vegetable seeds for a few days. At the foot of the western mountain, when they were sleeping at night, they heard the howling of wolves in the distance.

Yu Xiaocao was awakened, climbed onto her father's kang with a small quilt, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, listen!" It's like the sound of a wolf howling! The wolves are coming down? ”

Before she could finish her words, a milky howl sounded in the courtyard, which sounded like a warning.

Yu Hai said with a smile: "Cao'er, the two puppies you brought back have been more than two months, and they still don't bark." Hearing the wolf howl is a good thing to learn. Go and get the two little ones in and be careful to lure the wolves in! ”

At this time, Yu Hang and Xiaoshi brothers pushed the door and came in, and one of them held a little wolf in his hand. Xiao Shi smiled and said: "Xiaobai is so bold, when he hears the wolf howl, he dares to bark at them!" But the screams were too childish to threaten. ”

Little Black and White is a descendant of the gray wolf, and it was not a full moon when he came, and it has only been more than two months now. They catch locusts and eat them every day, and they have a surplus of grass to catch fish and shrimp to feed them, and their small bodies are strong. Maybe it's because of the spirit stone water that the two little guys grow slowly, and they are about the same size as the two-month cubs of the Rhubarb family for more than two months. However, it looks small and delicate, and it is very cute.

The two little guys listened to the continuous howling of the wolves, and their fur exploded, baring their teeth in the arms of the Yu Hang brothers and making a very fierce appearance. Yu Hai took Xiao Hei, put it on his lap and stroked it, and said with a smile: "These two dogs must have the blood of the wolf clan, they are not very big, and their temperament is not small." Train well and be sure to be a good hound in the future! ”

Yu Xiaocao snickered in his heart, what has the blood of a wolf, is this a wolf? However, I don't know what color the little black and white mother is, why the two little wolves are diametrically opposite in color, and none of them are like big gray. "Big Gray" is the name that Xiaocao just gave to the gray wolf, the little wolf used to be called, but now everyone is a father, and it is not appropriate to call the little wolf again.

As soon as the two little wolves were put on the kang, they immediately ran to Xiaocao's side, rubbed her affectionately with their heads, and rolled around her begging to be touched, without the slightest hint of fierceness.

The little roe deer that has been raised for two years has not changed much in size, and it is still a very mini one. It also followed the Yu brothers and squeezed into the bedroom of the main house. Watching the two little wolves go up to the kang, it was very greedy to hold the edge of the kang with its front legs, and watched with its eyes open.

The three small pets of the Yu family take a bath almost every two days, and their bodies are very clean without a trace of peculiar smell. Yu Xiaolian easily scooped the little roe deer onto the kang and caressed it in her arms. Little Black and White is only close to Little Sister, and ignores other people's touches and hugs. In this regard, Yu Xiaolian and Xiaoshi expressed their resentment. Fortunately, the little roe deer has a good temper and is very intimate with everyone in the family, which slightly makes up for the injured hearts of the two siblings.

Yu Hang said worriedly: "The wolves sound like a lot!" If you go down the mountain, the first thing to bear the brunt of it is our families. The prince lives in the mountains, and although he is protected by guards, it is not safe after all. Or, tomorrow invite the prince of the county over and live in the west courtyard of our house. Dad, what do you say? ”

Yu Hai nodded and said, "I'll see it!" Xiaocao, you can best talk to the prince of the county. Tomorrow at breakfast, you mention it to him. The howls of the wolves sound far away, and there should be no problem tonight. After tonight, there are no guarantees. Judging by the sound, there were at least twenty or thirty wolves in the pack. Don't underestimate it! ”

Experienced hunters can hear the number of wolves from the howl of wolves. Yu Hai has been studying with Zhao Bufan for a few years, and he shouldn't be wrong.

Liu Shi said with some concern: "I don't know how the eldest sister is doing?" They were closer to the West Mountain, and if the wolves came down the mountain, they would be the first to suffer. In addition to the eldest brother-in-law, the eldest sister's family is full of women and children, and they can be scared to death! I think Ming'er also took them over, and the east and west wings in our yard are empty, and we can live in a crowd. ”

Yu Hai gave his daughter-in-law an approving look, nodded and said, "Okay!" Let the eldest sister's family move over tomorrow. Living together can have a care. ”

After worrying about Yu Caifeng's family, the Liu family began to worry about his mother's family again: "His father! Xishan Village is not far from Xishan, and I don't know what the situation is on my mother's side! ”

Yu Hai comforted his daughter-in-law and said, "Don't worry, Xishan Village is still two or three miles away from Xishan!" My father-in-law's family lived in the village, and the wolves would not go to crowded places unless they were hungry. The last time I went to Xishan Village, I told the village chief of Xishan Village to let them set up more traps near the village, and arrange for night watch, so that when the beasts came, they would beat gongs and drums and light torches, which could also scare the beasts away. ”

Hearing the man say this, Liu's heart relaxed a little. On this night, few of the families living at the foot of the West Mountain slept well! Everyone is like the Yu family, the family is crammed into one room, with hoes and shovels at hand, ready to meet at any time.

As Yu Hai expected, the night was uneventful. The next day, when they came to buy vegetables, they saw the panda eyes of the Yu family, and they all expressed their strangeness. Qian Xiaoduo asked a few words, and after learning the reason, he patted his chest and promised to bring some hunting forks, bows and arrows and hunting knives to the Yu family in the afternoon.

At breakfast, Yu Xiaocao took a mouthful. Looking at the blue and black under the little girl's eyes, Zhu Junyang couldn't help but speak venomously: "It's just that a few wolves howl for a night, as for it!" You're not as bold as a sparrow! Yes, I'll move here later. There is a master in charge, not to mention the wolves, even if the jackals, tigers and leopards all go down the mountain, they can't hurt you! ”

Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but scold him: "Don't crow's mouth, okay?" My father said that there are at least twenty or thirty wolves in this group, and it is a shame to go down the mountain together! The jackals, tigers and leopards are all down the mountain, do you think it's a game of beasts? ”

Although Zhu Junyang didn't know what "Beast Mobilization" was, he could hear Yu Xiaocao scolding him, so he snorted coldly: "Your little courage is all used for the master!" That is, you don't know how many times you have died! ”
