Jiro poured the two buckets of water back and gestured with his hands.

Chen Xiaonian was overjoyed, "You called from the mountains?" ”

Looking at these two pheasants, they are not small and can eat for two days.

"Yo, with such a big ability, why don't you just fight a big worm?"

Aunt Song's eyes were red and angry.

Seeing that they ignored them, they only cared about talking about the two pheasants. Aunt Song sneered: "Chen Xiaonian, when you were holding the wedding wine, your mother borrowed rice, noodles, meat and eggs from many people, are these two chickens enough to compensate?" It's not that I said, the things in this mountain are in our Heshan Village, everyone has a share, you pheasant ......"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiaonian had already interrupted coldly. "And what are you doing with this well? This well is just at your doorstep, and you have occupied it for so many years, why haven't you given us the rent money for every house in our village? Aunt Song, if you are really unreasonable, then we will go to the patriarch and take care of it. If it doesn't work, it's okay to report to the police. ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to report to the official, Aunt Song wilted again. Angrily drove the two away, she carried a basket on her hind foot and went out.

You don't have to think about it to know that she is looking for water celery, it is all grown on the side of the road, and it is not interesting to hide it by herself. It's just going up and down the mountain, if Aunt Song is willing to toss this, it will save her from tossing other people's homes.

Before he arrived at the door, he saw Wang standing at the gate waiting, and when he saw them coming, Wang was anxious, "How about it, Aunt Song didn't embarrass you, right?" You are young, and I am afraid that it is inappropriate to speak and act, or I will think of ideas and persuade Aunt Song. ”

"Mother, you don't have to worry about this."

Chen Xiaonian shook the half handful of water celery in his hand, "Mother, we have vegetables." ”

While speaking, Jiro had already come over.

Seeing that he was carrying two chickens in his hands, Wang became even more anxious, "Why did you still snatch Aunt Song's chickens, hurry, return them quickly!" ”

"Mother."

Chen Xiaonian pointed to the two pheasants, "Take a good look, this is Erlang from the mountain." Mrs. Song's family doesn't have such a good thing. ”

Pheasants are indeed different from domestic chickens, Wang was anxious just now, he didn't look at it well, but now he sees it clearly, and he can't close his mouth with a smile.

"Did you call from the mountains?"

Erlang couldn't speak, so he went straight into the yard, found a broken back basket and buckled the two on the ground, and raised them like this first.

Wang Shi was not at ease and pressed a stone on the back basket again, and squatted there and watched happily for a long time.

"Sister-in-law Wang, I heard that your son-in-law gave you two pheasants?"

The Wang family hadn't seen enough, and there were already people outside the door.

Seeing the visitor, Wang simply grabbed a pheasant and stuffed it into someone's house. "Girl, I was just going to send the pheasant to your house. Yesterday, my family Xiao Nian got married, and I had to thank your family for borrowing meat and eggs, this one has lost some weight, and my son-in-law will call again, and we will send it to you again. ”

"Yo, sister-in-law Wang is too polite, I'm not here to urge this."

"Take it, take it, your second egg is still young, give him more soup."

The man looked embarrassed, but his movements were neat, and he took the pheasant and left.

Chen Xiaonian was stunned, "Mother, this is ......"

"Yo, sister-in-law Wang, are you here?"

Wang bent down again and took out the last pheasant, still with the same polite rhetoric.

Chen Xiaonian's heart was on fire, and Erlang was beside him, without saying a word.

Wang sent them to the door, and when they left happily, they pulled their sleeves and turned to look at the two of them with an embarrassed face.

Looking at her red eyes and her face full of guilt, Chen Xiaonian felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

"I'll go and see in the field."

She had just walked on her front foot, and Jian Erlang followed on her back foot.

However, Chen Xiaonian went to the field, and Erlang went up the mountain again.

When he arrived at the ground, Chen Xiaonian suddenly frowned.

It stands to reason that the fields that have not been taken care of for a few months should also be overgrown with wild grass, but when you look at it, other people's fields are all green, but the two fields of the Chen family are bare, and even a weed does not grow.

There are many reasons why crops do not grow in the field, either there is a lack of water or there is a problem with the soil.

She went down to the field and surveyed carefully, and found that there was a small river next to the two fields, and there was no shortage of water.

When I compare the soil in my own field with the soil in the people next to me, it looks no different.

Chen Xiaonian's eyes turned slightly, and he walked around his own field, and the spiritual spring water dripped down the fingertips hanging under his sleeves and fell to the ground.

Don't miss every inch of land, Chen Xiaonian smiled with satisfaction after all this.

Thinking that he would inevitably be hungry today, he didn't expect to look up and catch a glimpse of the two big willow trees on the edge of his field, Chen Xiaonian was overjoyed. When I ran over, I saw that the willow tree was pulling new shoots.

It's a good thing, it can be used in medicine, it can be cooked, and it can be used as tea.

She picked some willow buds, and was distressed that she didn't bring a basket, so she had to carry her back with her clothes first.

When I returned home, Wang was the only one alone.

Wang was hesitant and didn't know how to speak. Chen Xiaonian poured the willow buds from his clothes into the basin, "Mother, you go and rest, I'll cook today's meal." ”

wanted Erlang to help chop some firewood, but turned his head to find that he was not at home.

I just wanted to ask Jian Erlang, but the Wang family finally couldn't hold back and cried while holding their daughter.

"Blame me, blame me, it's all bad for my mother. But it's a fact that our family owes people something, as long as our family has it, and people come to ask for it, it's not ...... that we always have to pay it back."

Wang cried sadly, and it took a long time to explain the words intermittently, she felt guilty and blamed herself, but she didn't forget to praise Erlang for being a good son-in-law.

Seeing that Chen Xiaonian was silent, Wang's heart became more and more uncomfortable. "Read, I ......"

"Mother, I'm going to cook, you take advantage of the moment to calculate how much silver our family is missing. Which household in the village, how much should be repaid, and how much should the family in the town repay? First return the ones that are not easy to speak, and if they are easy to speak, I will go and talk about them in person in a while, and then return them when our family has more money. ”

Wang can only cry and cry.

"It's so easy, just pay it back. Such a large sum of silver......"

Chen Xiaonian endured it.

Wang's is good everywhere, but this cowardly character really needs to be changed.

"Mother, I have a way, I can make money. Today we caught a big fish in the river and sold it for two taels of silver, and those new things were bought with those two taels of silver, and I returned the two taels of the third sister-in-law. ”

Wang obviously didn't believe it, and Chen Xiaonian could only agree to take her to the river to catch fish tomorrow.

Hearing movement at the door, the two looked back and saw that it was Erlang back.

He returned empty-handed, and his clothes were torn in several places.

Chen Xiaonian just beckoned him to go back to the house and change his clothes, but when she got closer, she saw clearly that Erlang's clothes were torn by someone, and there were even scratches on his face.
