Xue'er nodded a little embarrassedly.
"By the way! From now on, cooking will be left to you and Huahua!"
The light in Xue'er's eyes grew brighter and she nodded in surprise.
Tang Youyou: It turns out that being recognized and needed is also a happy thing.
After the meal, Tang's mother and her brother were about to go back, and she gave her brother two taels of silver.
"Sister, I can't have it!"
"Why? Too little?"
Tang Wu shook his head like a rattle, choking a little: "Sister, your family is just getting by, how can I accept this money?"
What he didn't mention was two taels of silver. It would probably take half a year of work in the county town to save up that kind of money. How many days had he only worked for?
Tang Youyou glared at him and pulled Tang's mother into the house.
He took out a ten-liang silver ingot and handed it to her, which startled Tang's mother so much that she looked around hurriedly.
"Mom, this is in the room, there's no one else!"
"You, you, don't you know that wealth should not be shown to others?"

Tang Youyou felt bad when she saw the old man like this. Her family relied on a few acres of fertile land for their livelihood and depended on the weather for their food. In the past two years, God had not been helpful to her, and her brother's marriage had been delayed.
He stuffed the silver into her hand and said, "Mom, I'm so strong now that I can support the family even if I have to carry wood up the mountain. Don't worry about me. You and Dad should take care of yourselves. I will go home to see you during the Dragon Boat Festival!"
"Oh! Okay, okay." Tang's mother wiped her tears and put the silver away.
