In the first few days, Niu Dali would accompany Wang Shihu and the seven people to hunt in the mountains.

Later, he simply let Wang Shihu and the seven people go up the mountain to hunt, after all, with the strength of Wang Shihu and a few people, even if he was not there, even if he encountered wild boars and tigers and other beasts, he could still be easily killed.

But for the sake of insurance, he still refined some ordinary healing pills and antidote pills for Wang Shihu and the seven of them, just in case they were needed.

Wang Shihu and the others were a little confused, they didn't understand why Brother Niu wanted them to go up the mountain alone, but since Brother Niu said so, they didn't have any objections.

Sure enough, in the next few days, even without him, Wang Shihu and the others did not catch much less prey.

However, even if Niu Dali didn't go up the mountain to hunt together, Wang Shihu and the others still divided the silver from the sale of prey with Niu Dali.

But as the so-called merit is not punished, Niu Dali naturally will not accept the silver earned by Wang Shihu and the others from hunting, but Wang Shihu and the others have to give it to him.

Several people gossiped, and they were speechless.

According to what they mean, without him, there would be no Wang Shihu and his people today.

What's more, although Brother Niu didn't go up the mountain to hunt together, Brother Niu lent them rhubarb to pull the goods, which was also a help, so this silver must be collected.

Although Wang Shihu and the others said this, Niu Dali still understood what they meant.

They want to repay him, he is not the kind of hypocritical person, Wang Shihu and several people have talked about this, and he is not good to refuse again and again.

In the afternoon, He Dazhong led the horses slowly into Xinghua Village, and met many familiar uncles along the way, and He Dazhong greeted these uncles politely.

"Now the He family is famous. Some villagers sighed.

"Needless to say, this child is now on an errand in the yamen, and he can often see the county master, do you see the horse that he is leading, it is only a noble person who can ride. ”

Looking at He Da and the clothes of the servants gradually into the distance, the eyes of the surrounding villagers were full of envy, the He family used to be the poorest family in the village, but now the He family is different from the past, who can not greet politely when they see it.

He Dazhong didn't know that the villagers were talking about him, and he returned home and looked at his familiar younger brothers, with a long-lost smile on his face.

"Major, why did you come back? Have you eaten at noon, why don't I get some rice noodles for you to eat?" He Shi said in surprise.

"No need, I've eaten in the county seat. Today, I will come back to see you. He Da smiled and took out the money bag from his waist, "Mother, this is the money that the Yamen gave me today." ”

"How can you give it all to the family, you also have to keep some, the county is not like a village, I heard that many things are very expensive, and a bowl of noodles costs several copper coins. He hurriedly took out some copper coins from the money bag and handed them to He Dazhong.

"Don't, mother, I eat and live in the yamen, and I don't need to spend money. He Da hurriedly pushed back: "The younger brother in the family is growing up, and there are many places where he needs silver. ”

He sighed, although the important errand of the Yamen made many people envy their family and felt that their family was about to be paid, but only they knew that it was all in vain, and the family was still poor.

However, compared to the beginning, I don't know how much better it is, at least the important Yamen errand can make the family much better.

He Dazhong's younger brothers watched the horse outside the house, and He Dazhong told them to pay attention, after all, the horse will kill if he goes crazy.

"It's okay, big brother. We often go to the back mountain with Erya to graze cattle, and we know how to feed the horses?" He Chongwu said with a smile.

He shook his head, how can feeding cows and horses be the same?

"Second brother, do you say that rhubarb runs fast, or does the eldest brother's horse run fast?" He Chongsan looked at He Chonger curiously and asked.

"Of course it's the big brother's horse that runs fast!" He Chonger affirmed.

"But how do I feel that Rhubarb is running fast?" He Chongsan remembered the scene of Erya riding Rhubarb running around the back mountain, and he rode so fast.

"I also think rhubarb is very fast. ”

Listening to the words of several younger brothers, the corners of He Da's mouth twitched a few times.

He remembered that Erya had also asked him if it was her family's cattle or his horses. He thought that Erya was young and ignorant, but he didn't expect that even his younger brothers would have such strange thoughts.

After all, no matter how fast the ox is, it can't be as fast as the horse, so does this still need to be compared?

In the evening, He Qianhu went home from work, and when he saw He Dazhong coming back, he had an unconcealable pride on his face, patted He Dazhong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, I have grown a lot stronger." ”

He smiled, and the family sat around the table to prepare for dinner.

Because He Da came back, the He family specially slaughtered a big fat chicken, half of it was used for stir-frying, and the other half was used for stewed soup, which made the He family children who had not smelled the aroma of meat for a long time swallow their saliva.

"You're finally coming back and eating more. He lovingly sandwiched a chicken leg and put it in a bowl.

"Mother, don't need it, I often eat meat in the Yamen, so let's give this chicken leg to my younger brothers. He refused. He didn't tell a lie, the food in the yamen was really good, and he ate meat every day except for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"Brother, we don't eat it, we give it to you, we eat chicken. The younger brothers shook their heads.

"Then give it to Dad, Dad often works, it's hard enough, the chicken leg should be given to Dad." He didn't even think about it, so he had to clip the big chicken leg in the bowl to He Qianhu.

"You kid, the chicken has two chicken legs, how can you miss your father's. He said angrily.

"My mother often takes care of the family, and she is also very tired, so of course the chicken leg is reserved for my mother to eat. He said with a smile.

He's heart is warm, her eldest son has been sensible and filial since he was a child.

pushed back and forth, and in the end, He Qianhu clapped and said: "Okay, okay, it's not just a chicken leg, your mother calls you, you can eat, what's polite." ”

He was helpless, so he had to eat the chicken legs, "Yes, Dad, I'm going to Uncle Niu's house tomorrow morning." ”

"Well, your Uncle Niu is kind to our family, especially to you, you really have to talk to him when you come back. He Qianhu nodded.

He Shi also had no opinion, and asked He Da to go over tomorrow morning, talk to her, and she had some souvenirs for He Da to bring.

Early the next morning, He Dazhong came to Niu Dali's house with some melons and fruits and a big hen.

"You kid come here, why do you bring something. Li Xianglan blamed.

"My mother asked me to bring it here. He didn't allow Li Xianglan to refuse, and handed the melon and fruit to Li Xianglan.

Li Xianglan shook her head and welcomed He Da into the house.

"Aunt Lan, Uncle Niu, eldest girl, second girl, what about them?" He Da wondered.

"Your Uncle Niu went to water the flowers in the dry land, and the eldest girl and the second girl also followed, and I think they will be back soon. Li Xianglan said.
