Her voice stopped abruptly because she was desperate to see her aunt picking up chopsticks, taking a sea intestine and putting it in her mouth and chewing it slowly. Why? Shouldn't my aunt be as disgusted as she is for this kind of bug-like thing that looks disgusting to Barra? How can a delicate aunt be able to speak?

"Hmmm! Sure enough, it was very tender. Your godfather is full of praise for the sea intestine in his letter, and I've long wanted to taste something. Xiaocao's craftsmanship is good, and I like this dish a lot. Mrs. Fang tasted two more sips before she made time to praise it.

Xia Furong was very broken in her heart: how could her aunt, a noble and elegant person, like to eat insects......

Speaking of which, this lady is also quite strong in her heart, and most people will be grateful when they see the soft and fleshy appearance of sandworms. Yu Xiaocao, who was worried that she wouldn't get along with the ladies of the capital, was completely relieved at this time. This godmother is quite down-to-earth!

The meals made by her own daughter's own hands naturally have to be cheered, coupled with Xiaocao's extraordinary cooking skills, simple ingredients, she can make different deliciousness in her hands, so that Mrs. Fang, who is usually so self-made, actually accidentally ate it.

Night has fallen, the shadows of the nearby trees swaying gracefully in the moonlight, a bright moon hangs from the treetops, and occasionally a late wild bird passes by, casting a shadow on the silver moon......

Such a charming night, Mrs. Fang felt it for the first time. Primitive stone walls, rough masonry houses, wide and empty courtyards...... Everything is so pristine, this simple natural environment washes people's minds, and makes Mrs. Fang, who has lived in the house for a long time, feel relaxed physically and mentally.

Xiaocao, who was robbed of the dishwashing work by Pearl Linglong, looked at the sky, and said goodbye to the godmother: "Godmother, I'll go back." Rest early, I'll come back to see you tomorrow......"

"It's dark, how can you be reassuring when you little girl walks on the mountain road? I'll send you back! Mrs. Fang picked up a wind lantern painted with flowers and birds, and followed Xiaocao out of the door.

Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Godmother, I used to go up the mountain with Brother Han to catch hares and pheasants, and I am familiar with this mountain road." No need to send ......."

"What's polite to the godmother? Eat a little too much at night, and your godmother will accompany you to take a walk to eliminate food. Mrs. Fang lit the wind lamp, took Xiaocao's hand, and walked slowly towards the gate. When Pearl saw it, she hurriedly explained the work in the kitchen to Linglong, quickly followed, and took the lamp from the master's hand.

The Zhao family's house is quite large, and the yard is also empty, Xia Furong, who had just come to an unfamiliar environment, saw that everyone was ready to go out, and hesitated to follow.

The mountain road is quiet, and the bushes on both sides cast dappled shadows on it. Xia Furong looked at the black mountains, and the cry of night birds came from her ears, and her heart was furious, so she hurriedly went to her aunt's side. A gust of wind blew, the shadows of the trees on the ground shook suddenly, and Xia Furong, who was tense in her heart, let out an exclamation, startling everyone.

"Cousin, people are scary and scared to death, can you not create a tense atmosphere!" Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes in the dark.

Xia Furong hugged Mrs. Fang's other arm tightly, and looked suspiciously at the dim bushes beside the road, for fear that some unknown creature would emerge.

Afraid of what comes. Suddenly, a dark shadow quickly passed by her feet, and she even felt the thing stomp on her toes. Xia Furong let out an even more miserable scream, hugged Mrs. Fang, stuck her head in her aunt's arms and didn't dare to come out.

Yu Xiaocao was completely speechless, looking at the size and gait of the black shadow just now, it was just a juvenile hare, as for screaming like killing a pig?

"Don't be afraid, cousin, it's just a hare. Ferocious beasts can only be encountered in the deep mountains, and most of them are small animals such as hares, pheasants, and badgers, and they are not aggressive. Yu Xiaocao gave Miss Xia a popular science.

Xia Furong ignored her and said in a trembling voice with tears: "Auntie, it's terrible here. Let's go back! ”

Mrs. Fang patted her niece's shoulder soothingly, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" There are many of us, and we have lights, even if there are wild beasts, we don't dare to come easily. You've just arrived in a new environment, and you haven't adapted to it yet. In a few days, you will be able to experience the joy of living in the countryside. Wait for your uncle to take Hugh Mu and let him take our mother to hunt. The game you hunt yourself is more delicious to eat. ”

Yu Xiaocao nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" It would be nice if you could hunt wild deer! If the venison is grilled and eaten, it tastes even better! There is also the meat of the badger, which is tender and delicious...... I'm drooling! ”

Mrs. Fang smiled, touched Xiaocao's head, and said with affection in her tone: "You! A snack full of goods! ”

Yu Xiaocao recalled the hard but bitter days in the past, and said with a smile: "Godmother, my father used to be a good hunter in the village!" He often goes up the mountain with Uncle Zhao, that is, his godfather's junior brother, and he can hunt a lot of prey every time! My father also hunted a big wild boar alone, two or three hundred pounds! ”

The night was quiet, and the whole mountain forest was filled with the sound of grass croaking. Mrs. Fang listened with interest, and occasionally interjected to ask, and Xiaocao's conversation became more interested.

Xia Furong pursed her lips disapprerovingly, if hunting is really so easy, what kind of fields are you planting! She couldn't help but want to debunk Xiaocao's boasting, and said, "Since your father's hunting skills are so good, why do you still grow vegetables and melons in your family, and how hard does the family work with it?" ”

Yu Xiaocao said without hesitation: "Hunting is also risky, how can there be a stable farming?" Ever since my father was bitten by a blind bear, my mother has forbade us to go up the mountain. However, don't underestimate the income of our family from growing vegetables and melons, it is more profitable than a rich family's Zhuangzi! ”

Mrs. Fang thought of the income of today's melon shop, and couldn't help but nod in agreement. The Zhuangzi she married produced no more than 1,000 taels of silver in the largest year, which was really not as good as the income of Xiaocao's family from selling melons for a few days.

Xia Furong, who didn't know anything about farming, didn't believe Xiaocao's words at all. If the money comes from farming, will those peasants be starved of food and clothing? It must have been the's boast......

However, what did the girl who just died say? Is there a blind bear in the mountains? She and her aunt have two girls, but they are women, living on the mountainside, if the beast comes down the mountain, it will be really unimaginable - Xia Furong is full of brains, and she is even more frightened, and the two tremble.

Talking and laughing like this, he unconsciously came to the door of the Yu family. At this time, the Yu family, which should have been quiet, was lively.

Yu Xiaocao glanced at the godmother, quickened her pace, and hurriedly entered the yard, but heard Wang Ergou's unique sound of oil and gas, and shouted angrily: "...... I don't sleep in the middle of the night, I run in the melon field, what is not a thief? Could it be that you will have a lover in the melon field?? ”

Then came the eldest uncle's sharp and piercing shout: "Wang Ergou, you bastard!" You ruined people's innocence, I want to fight with you ......"

Ergou's daughter-in-law's voice was calm and reproachful: "Sister-in-law Dashan, Ergou has never been very good at talking, if there is anything offended, I will make amends to you for him." Don't worry, can you talk about the black light, what do you want to do in the melon field? ”

Yu Xiaocao had already come to the crowd at this time, and with the light and shadow cast by the two wind lamps in the courtyard, she saw that the Yu family was here, except for the stones that studied in the town. In addition, there are also Wang Ergou and his wife, and the embarrassed aunt Li.

Li Guihua was questioned by the second dog's daughter-in-law, her eyes flickered, and she couldn't answer. She went to deliver food to her son who worked at the dock today, and saw Wang Ergou pushing a trolley selling watermelons. Yu Hai's family didn't plant sweet potatoes in the spring, and the story of planting some Rausch watermelons has long been spread in the village. The cultivation of watermelons has not yet been popularized, and the Li family has the mentality of watching the jokes of the second family, waiting for the watermelons to rot in the ground if they can't be sold.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the dock, she saw several richly dressed merchants, gathered around Wang Ergou's trolley, and paid money to buy watermelons. There were also guests who almost didn't fight in order to fight for the last two watermelons.

Quietly leaned over to take a look, a watermelon actually cost five taels of silver! Five taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to save money for a year, and there are still so many fools vying to buy it. Thinking of Yu Hai's round watermelons squeezed one by one, Li's heart felt as if it had been scratched by a cat - how much silver did it get! Second, this is the rhythm of making a fortune!

After returning from the dock, Li made her own little abacus in the house: in the evening, she went to the field of the second child's house in the dark, picked two watermelons and took them to the dock to sell tomorrow, wouldn't it be ten taels of silver? At night, if you want to meet the second child to see the melon, she is not afraid, so she said that her father and mother want to eat watermelon, and let her pick two back. Can he still give it to his second child?

But after thousands of calculations, the Li family never expected that the person watching the melon tonight was actually the most difficult Wang Ergou in the village! This Yu Hai is also right, such a precious thing actually asked an unreliable outsider to help guard it. Aren't you afraid that Wang Ergou, who likes to steal chickens and dogs, will steal the watermelons in the field?

The Li family didn't know how to speak, but Wang Ergou said unforgivingly: "What can you do?" Stealing, of course! During the day, this Li family watched me sell melon eyes at the dock, and at night I wanted to steal a few to sell myself! Brother Dahai, you also said that no one will come to steal melons from the villagers. I didn't expect to prevent others, but to my own family. is in response to that sentence: It is difficult to prevent thieves from thousands of guards! ”

Li Shi shouted inwardly: "Ergouzi, don't be foolish! Who stole the melon? Where are the melons? Catch thieves and catch stolen goods, what about the evidence? ”

"That's because I went in time, and you didn't have time to do it! If you don't steal melons, what are you doing in the melon field in the dark? Wang Ergouzi raised his voice without showing weakness.

"I ...... I'm passing by, can't I do it? Li argued.
