Chapter 14: The Second Uncle's Night Visit
Wang Daniu, father and son, who had been busy all day, sat in the room chatting.
"Dad, when will you enter the mountain next time!" Wang Xiaohu looked at his father and suddenly asked, probably because he wanted to enter the mountain as soon as possible to obtain the source point.
"Every time Lao Li organizes to enter the mountain, about three times a month, each time about ten days apart, of course, not necessarily, depending on the situation on Lao Li's side! Don't worry! Wang Daniu said to his son in a relaxed tone, looking at his son with an eager look.
"Ahh Didn't you go into the mountains after selling your prey? I thought I would be able to enter the mountain in two days! Wang Xiaohu said with a disappointed face.
"In the past, I almost went into the mountain after selling the goods last time, but this time, I heard that your Uncle Li said that it was specially explained by the white steward, saying that there were some fresh medicinal materials and sent them over early! So this time it's early," Wang Daniu said slowly to his son.
"Oh! I guess I'm afraid that we won't be able to deal with good medicinal materials when we encounter them, so we accidentally break them! Wang Xiaohu said casually.
"Well, don't say it, there is really such a possibility, generally we sell the medicinal materials after drying them" Hearing his son's words, Wang Daniu's eyes lit up and said, after all, they are all illiterate rough people, how can they deal with some medicinal materials, just deal with it simply according to the experience of the predecessors, and I don't know if the damage is damaged or not.
"Dad, you sold so much silver this time, what are you going to do!" Wang Xiaohu's eyes rolled and asked about the silver he earned today.
"Why do you ask so much, this money is to be saved!" Wang Daniu glared at his son and said, I think that the matter of silver should not be known to such a young child, although it is basically earned by his son!
"Uh, Dad, don't worry! I just ask" Wang Xiaohu said helplessly, saying that he was just asking casually, if he said his purpose, he didn't know what Wang Daniu was like.
After that, Wang Xiaohu and Wang Daniu chatted casually about other things in the village, and never mentioned money again.
"Xiaohu, come to the kitchen to help me cook the pot and make dinner!" Tian Xia's bright voice came from the kitchen.
"Okay" Wang Xiaohu hurriedly ran to the kitchen, sat on the side of the pot, and prepared to light the fire.
"Mother, why are you cooking tonight! What are you going to cook?" Wang Xiaohu looked up at his mother and asked with some questions.
"Doesn't this see that you went to the town for a busy day today, and bought so much food, and I will make you a meal of minced meat noodles to eat in the evening," Wang Xia said with a smile on her face.
"Minced meat noodles, minced meat noodles, Huahua's favorite food" The younger sister in the yard heard the sound of her mother cooking, and ran into the kitchen! When I heard the minced meat noodles, my saliva began to flow.
"Uh, minced meat noodles! It's delicious," Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, but the smile was a little fake.
At the same time, he complained inwardly: "Alas, I would have known that I wouldn't have eaten so many minced meat noodles!" Three bowls too! It seems that my father didn't tell my mother! I don't know if my father will eat it when he sees that the dinner is minced meat noodles, after all, my father and second uncle each ate four bowls! At the time of checkout, my father was very reluctant to give the little second brother nearly a tael of silver! You must know that it is only about one tael of silver to buy a stone of grain."
Then Wang Xiaohu, who was not talking, began to bury his head in the fire! My sister watched her mother cook, and from time to time she secretly grabbed a piece of cooked venison with her little hands and ate it.
After about half an hour, Wang Xiaohu looked at a large pot of hot minced meat noodles and was speechless for a long time, obviously Tian Xia had done a lot more, in order to let everyone have a full meal, after all, in Tian Xia's consciousness, the family had not eaten white noodles and meat for a long time!
"It's time to eat! My minced meat noodles" Wang Xiaohua took a big bowl of minced meat noodles and put it on the panel, and then sat on a small stool in the kitchen and started eating! While eating, it is delicious, although the person is small, but the noodles in the hand are firmly grasped! As if I was afraid that someone else would rob me.
"Xiaohua, eat slowly, there are still a lot of them, let you eat until you can't eat at all today, haha" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile as he watched his sister eat, you must know that although you are hungry now, you can still eat, but you must not be able to eat so many minced meat noodles.
"Xiaohu, what did you have for dinner!" At this time, Wang Da Niu also walked in to see what he was eating.
"Hey, Dad, take a look for yourself, my mother's mother made delicious food in the evening, and I'll have to eat two more bowls later." Wang Xiaohu smiled, and then looked at his father and said a little gloatingly.
"Uh, minced meat noodles! The minced meat noodles made by your mother are delicious," Wang Da Niu said without changing his color, and he really deserved to be an adult, but he was more stable than a child, and he didn't change his color, and he sat down next to the panel and began to eat.
"Sure enough, Jiang is worthy of being old and spicy, and this unchanging appearance is worth learning from my generation!" Wang Xiaohu kept complaining in his heart, and the corners of his eyes twitched, making his mother Tian Xia look at him strangely.
After a while, Wang Xiaohu and Wang Daniu each ate three bowls, their bellies bulging, looking at each other, speechless.
"Don't be stunned, you two hurry up and pack up and get ready for bed!" Mother Tian Xia saw the father and son sitting there motionless, and said urgingly.
"Okay, mother, then I'll go wash and sleep!" Wang Xiaohu hurriedly agreed, and then went to fetch water to wash his feet and prepare for bed.
After a while, it was completely dark, and Wang Xiaohu had already laid down on the bed and was ready to sleep.
"Dut, toot, big brother open the door, it's me Erniu" There was a sudden knock from the second uncle at the door.
"Hey, why is this Erniu still here so late, I'll open the door" Wang Daniu, who was still sitting in the room, muttered, and then got up to open the door.
After Wang Daniu opened the door, he saw his younger brother holding a pot of turbid wine in his hand, a bag of things in his arms, and standing alone at the door, so he asked: "Erniu, is there something wrong with coming here so late?" ”
"Hehe, brother, didn't you say it during the day, and tell Xiaohu about the affairs of the rivers and lakes at night? I'm coming! Wang Erniu said with a smile at his brother, looking a little embarrassed.
"Oh, that's what I said, I thought you were just talking about it! Why, I'm ready to tell my great experience in the rivers and lakes" Wang Daniu looked at his younger brother with strange eyes, Wang Daniu remembered that when his younger brother just came back from outside, he asked for a long time, but his younger brother didn't say whether he was alive or dead.
"Alas, I was embarrassed to say it before, but now I can see it, it's all fate!" Wang Erniu said with a lonely expression.
"What a life! It's nice to be alive! Looking at his younger brother's expression, Wang Daniu sighed and said, and at the same time let his younger brother enter the courtyard, turned around and closed the courtyard door again.
"Xiaohu, your second uncle has come to tell you a story, your second uncle's great experience in the rivers and lakes!" Wang Daniu deliberately shouted loudly at his son's house, and Wang Erniu was very embarrassed.
"Ahh Second uncle, wait! I'll get dressed right away," and then I heard the sound of Wang Xiaohu getting dressed.
"Haha, Xiaohu doesn't have to get up, I'll go to your house and say!" Wang Erniu deserves to have been mixed with the rivers and lakes! In the blink of an eye, he turned into a broad face, showing a heroic momentum, and then carried the wine into his nephew's house.
I saw that Wang Xiaohu had almost put on his clothes, Xiaohua was already asleep next to him, and the voice just now did not affect the little niece's dream at all.
"Xiaohu, just sit on the bed!" Seeing that his nephew wanted to get out of bed, Wang Erniu hurriedly said, after all, the sky has begun to get cold at night.
"Okay, then I'll sit on the bed and listen, second uncle, tell me quickly, what's on the rivers and lakes!" Wang Xiaohu didn't get out of bed after listening to the second uncle's words, after all, it was still comfortable in the bed, who made himself a child!
"Haha, that's a long story." The second uncle said a word, and then moved the small table in the room to the bedside, then put the wine jug he was carrying on the table, and took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and opened it to see that it was peanuts.
"Erniu, you with wine and peanuts, are you going to talk at night?" Wang Daniu looked at the things his brother brought and said in a surprised tone.
"Ha, Dad, you have a good literary style! will use idioms! Wang Xiaohu laughed at his father, and then said to the second uncle with a smile: "Second uncle, your rivers and lakes look quite long, and the second aunt knows it."
"Xiaohu, listen to your second uncle carefully, it will be good for you in the future," Wang Daniu said in a serious tone to his son.
"Brother, in fact, there is nothing that is not in the rivers and lakes, but I have been running outside for a few years." Wang Erniu said to his brother in a relaxed tone, and then sighed heavily.
said: "Alas, the rivers and lakes are far away, life is geometric, there are many infatuated children, how much suffering, how much sadness, how much helplessness, people in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily!" ”。
