Chapter 43: Duck Under the Knife
Su Muyao?
The little milk baby's eyes widened, as if she had reacted to something, and shouted to Mrs. Su: "Leave the duck under the knife."
I'm obedient, can I even understand a duck's words now?
Doesn't it mean that only spiritual creatures can do it? This native duck can actually be used.
However, she quickly calmed down, and she could understand the beast language of the white wolf and the tiger anyway, and it didn't matter if there were more ducks.
Why did this duck live with her for half a year, how could it be regarded as half a little friend who opened his mouth to ask for help, and he couldn't see death without help?
Mrs. Su was still maintaining her original appearance, looking at the milk dumplings at the door.
I saw that the little milk dumpling was still in a daze at the door, as if she was thinking about something.
Just now, my little granddaughter said that there was a duck under the knife, and the hand holding the knife didn't know what to do for a while.
"Good baby, what's wrong with you? You okay? ”
Su Muyao came back to her senses, "Milk is fine, can this duck not be killed?" ”
"I mean I won't kill it in the future, this little duck duck is my friend, if you want to eat meat, I'll let Xiaobai catch it at home."
Old Mrs. Su let go of the wings of the duck in her hand, and the duck was so frightened that she hid directly behind Su Muyao, trembling.
"The little master save me, I will sing to you every day in the future"
In order to survive the duck, he tried his best to please the little man in front of him.
Su Muyao listened to the duck's hoarse and ugly voice, and the ghost believed that you could sing.
Seeing the old lady, she didn't say yes or no? Su Muyao stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Su's sleeve and shook it.
"Grandma, I really like this duck duck, let's not kill it, okay? Isn't it good~"
Looking at the little person in front of you, that pitiful and cute little appearance? Mrs. Su's heart was about to melt, and she couldn't wait to hold her little granddaughter into her arms and kiss her.
In addition, there have been a lot of prey in the family recently, so I have to kill this duck, so I nodded and agreed.
Su Muyao took the duckling to the yard, and Mrs. Su grabbed a chicken again and plucked it.
Su Muyao looked in the yard for a while, and saw that although the chicken was fluttering, there was no sign of wanting to speak, so she was relieved.
Looking at the duck in front of him, he was very surprised: "Why can't other animals speak?" You can".
"Little master, little master, when you gave that big white wolf water to drink that day, some of the water was spilled on the ground.
In the end, I drank it, and after drinking it, I felt that my originally chaotic brain suddenly woke up, and then I had my own cognition.
Su Muyao nodded, so it sees, it seems that the effect of spiritual spring water is not small!
The parents of the second aunt came to visit, and naturally they inevitably brought some melon seeds, peanut candy or something.
Su Muyao was eating candy on the side, squinting her eyes and sitting on the stool swinging her calves.
The two of them looked at the baby in front of them, very cute.
You hug me, I hug Su Muyao is also helpless.
Finally, when Su Muyao couldn't bear it anymore, the old couple also went back after eating, and they quieted down.
"The old man also has some silver in our hands, and when the spring comes, we will send a few babies to study, and there is still a lot of this money in our hands that is dead."
"This is saved for the good treasure as a dowry, it is better for us to buy some land, when the time comes, these can become the dowry of the good baby, and a lot of food can be planted during this period."
Su Muyao's eyes lit up when she heard it on the side, she could only plant all kinds of seeds after she had the land in spring, and she couldn't be so idle forever.
Old man Su wanted to go to the village chief's house to ask Su Muyao if he wanted to follow, but Old Man Su couldn't screw it, so he still brought it over.
After coming to the old village chief's house, he briefly asked if there was any plan to sell land nearby?
When the time comes, if someone's family sells land, they will help go to the house and say it.
Their family only has a total of six acres of land, which is not much, and it is generally one season of rice and one season of wheat.
The yield of rice per mu is more than 200 catties, and the better ones can reach 300 catties, and the wheat is less, and the yield per mu is about 200 catties.
Now they are still saying that they will raise taxes by another 10%, but to put it bluntly, they simply do not give these people a life.
If the year is good, the service is good, and it can barely mix food and clothing, and there are many people who starve to death when the year is bad.
The old village chief rummaged through it and found that there was a five-acre field connected together on the side of the mountain, which was still a high-quality field, but now it was temporarily distributed to several lonely families in the village.
These five acres of land were originally the fields left by the single old men in the clan after they died.
The custom on their part is that they have no children and grandchildren, and when they die, the houses and fields belong to the clan.
If anyone wants to buy it again, they can also sell it from the clan, and then the money will be distributed to the poor families in the village or the lonely old people.
Su Muyao listened to the old village chief and said that the three acres of land connected together were naturally very exciting.
Originally, the two of them just planned to come over and say in advance, and if there was land in the future, they would inform them, but they didn't expect to let them run in vain.
In the end, the five acres of high-quality fertile land cost a total of 25 taels of silver.
Five taels of silver per mu, this price is still relatively low, mainly because the village looks like Xiao Fubao wants to buy it, so naturally she can't ask her to go high.
There are also people in the village who are red-eyed, but what can they do? In addition to breaking his mouth behind his back, he didn't even dare to put a on the surface.
There are one or two other long-mouthed women, and once they say a few words that they don't like very well, they will basically be besieged by other people.
After all, the benefits brought to them by the old Su family are in front of them, no matter how red they are behind their backs, they still can't say a word on the surface.
There are one or two mean old ladies in every village, but even the meanest people in the village don't dare to say anything bad about the old Su family,,Ծ^Ծ,,
……
New Year's Day
Su Saburo and Wang Taoxiu began to give the two sleepy-eyed children before dawn, and each of them stuffed two pieces of cloud cake, meaning that the new year was happy.
Wang Taoxiu got up quickly after eating the cake, and then went to the stove room to help boil water.
As soon as I arrived at the kitchen, I saw that my mother-in-law had already started to get busy, boiling underwater dumplings and glutinous rice dumplings.
These are all talkative, implying that the new year will be smooth and reunited.
Su Muyao knew that she couldn't stay in bed today, so she pulled her brother to get up quickly.
Put on the new clothes and pants that A-Niang put on the bedside last night, and put on the beautiful tiger head shoes, thought about it and ran to the cabinet to take out the tiger head hat and put it on.
The new cotton coat is a bright red cotton jacket, the back is embroidered with five blessings, and the neckline and cuffs are inlaid with a circle of white rabbit fur, which is soft and beautiful.
After putting it on, Su Muyao went to wash.
After washing up and playing with a few brothers for a while, I heard my grandmother shouting, "Come and eat dumplings."
Mrs. Su came out of the stove room with a large pot of dumplings, and began to call a few leather boys in the courtyard.
After putting it on the big table in the hall, he turned his head back to the stove room and brought a few bowls of rice balls.
Each bowl of glutinous rice balls is only filled with four, which means that everything goes well and all wishes come true.
Su Muyao only felt that there were still a lot of exquisiteness in ancient times.
