At the beginning of the next day, after Niu Dali and they went down the mountain, Wang Shihu, Yang Zi, and Tianhu were responsible for sending the prey to the town, and Niu Dali carried a bow and arrow on his back and grabbed the ears of two hares in one hand to go home.
At this moment, there are three little girls in the yard who are teasing Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei, one of the thin little girls is particularly conspicuous, Niu Dali knows that this thin little girl is the daughter of Widow Sun, called Xiu'er, and the relationship with his two girls is very good.
"Daddy, you're back!" Seeing Niu Dali coming in, the eldest girl and the second girl ran over excitedly, and the two puppies followed behind them.
"Uncle Strong!" Xiu'er shouted politely.
"Has your mother come here?" asked Niu Dali. ,
"My mother is also here, embroidering in the house with Aunt Lan!" Xiu'er said a little nervously.
Niu Dali nodded, since they separated, Widow Sun would usually come over to ask Li Xianglan for embroidery, Li Xianglan embroidered well, when she was in the Niu family, the clothes of the Niu family were sewn by Li Xianglan.
In ancient times, women had very few ways to make money, and embroidery was one of the few ways they could make money.
Since the death of her husband, Widow Sun has relied on the embroidery work secretly taught to her by Li Xianglan, embroidering day and night, so as to support the mother and daughter.
Later, when they built a house, Widow Sun did not come often, but Li Xianglan took the eldest girl and the second girl to go to Widow Sun to embroider often.
He didn't mind that Li Xianglan and Widow Sun were close, it was originally very unfair to women in ancient times, let alone those widows who lost their husbands.
As the so-called widow has a lot of rights and wrongs in front of the door, especially the kind of woman who is extremely good-looking, it is easy to cause others to whisper behind their backs and talk about long and short things.
Men will look at them strangely, and women will look at them with disgust and prejudice.
Perhaps others have some taboo and prejudice against widows, but Niu Dali does not have this idea.
However, compared to other villages, their Xinghua Village is good for widows.
Wang Qingyang is fair and has never been prejudiced against anyone, but it is different in other villages, because some gossip has forced a widow to death, and dipping in pig cages abounds.
What's more, Widow Sun is straightforward and fast-talking, and she gets along with Li Xianglan's soft temperament, and when she broke up the family, she also spoke for their family, which made Mrs. Qian half angry.
Therefore, Niu Dali has no opinion on Li Xianglan helping the widow Sun.
"Daddy, you've hit the hare again!" Seeing the hare in Niu Dali's hand, the second girl's small mouth was about to flow out.
Niu Dali felt funny, smiled and touched Erya's little head, "Yes, call your mother to stew rabbit soup tonight, do you want to?"
"I like to eat braised rabbit meat!" said Erya in a sweet voice.
Xiu'er on the side had an envious expression, staring directly at the hare in Niu Dali's hand, and couldn't help but swallow his throat.
Her appearance was naturally discovered by Niu Dali, he raised the rabbit meat and said with a smile: "Xiu'er also wants to eat?"
"I still have wild boar at home!" Xiu'er shook her head.
Wild boar?
It can't be the wild boar he hit last time, right?
That's right, Widow Sun's meager income alone can barely support the two of them, which has to save food and clothing.
Niu Dali sighed in his heart, directly handed over the hare meat in his hand to her, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that my uncle has two hares, and one will be taken home and asked your mother to cook it for you!"
Xiu'er looked at the hare in her hand, a little overwhelmed.
"Xiu'er, my father told you to take it, so you can take it!" the big girl persuaded.
"Yes, the rabbit meat is delicious!" said the second girl's little head.
Xiu'er's face was hesitant, in fact, she also wanted to eat rabbit meat in her heart, although the wild boar at home could still be eaten, it was hard and dry, and it took a long time to bite before swallowing.
"Xiu'er, quickly return the hare to your Uncle Strong. ”
But at this moment, Widow Sun and Li Xianglan walked out of the house, and what happened in the yard, Widow Sun naturally heard it, and immediately shouted.
Xiu'er hung her little head and handed the hare to Niu Dali, but Niu Dali didn't take it, but looked at Widow Sun and said, "This is my intention, let you take it, you can take it, what's polite!"
"Yes, Sister Sun, Brother Dali gave you, you can take it, and our family can't eat two hares. Li Xianglan knew the situation in Widow Sun's family and persuaded her.
Widow Sun rarely accepts the benefits of others, especially men, in her opinion, nothing to be courteous, either cheap or stealing, but Niu Dali's family is different, the family is honest, unlike others who are full of bad intentions.
After some pushback, Widow Sun reluctantly accepted the hare meat and went home with Xiu'er.
Li Xianglan sighed: "Sister Sun is really not easy. ”
Niu Dali couldn't cry or laugh a little, it seemed that his life in Lao Niu's family was worse than that of Widow Sun.
The next morning, Widow Sun sent some wild vegetables early in the morning, although it was not worth much, but it was also Widow Sun's intention, and Li Xianglan was not polite, so she accepted these wild vegetables.
