Chapter 67 Thank You Gift

Today, Xiao Yuanzi discovered that something was wrong with her elder brother.

I almost fell down when walking on flat ground, and I almost burned the fish soup because I kept adding more firewood to the fire. Now, even eating...

"Grandma, why does Big Brother eat with his nostrils?"

puff!

The old lady almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

This kid is really tactless. Why not just watch his elder brother's jokes for a while longer instead of telling them out loud?

"Your elder brother is blowing air into the fish soup with his nose. It's too hot."

"Really?"

Xiao Yuanzi felt something was wrong, so he tried it with his nose, and it blew out air, creating two holes in the fish soup. Then the splashing soup hit his face, burning him and making him shiver.

"It's so hot! Wuwuwu..."

Lian Yue's face turned red with embarrassment. He ate a lot and then went up the mountain with his axe.

He was not a fool and soon realized what he was thinking.

I felt happy and sad at the same time.

He was happy that he finally found the girl he liked, but he was sad that he was just a fisherman's boy and was not worthy of her at all.

She used to be a lady of an official in Kyoto, but now she is the daughter of a village teacher. She can read and embroider, and she is pretty and speaks softly.

Such a good girl, it seems that just thinking about her has made her dirty.

Lian Yue ran into the ditch, scooped up some cool water to wash his face to wake himself up, hid all these thoughts deep in his heart, and then quietly went up the mountain.

At this time, some people from the Yin family were also preparing to go up the mountain.

It’s not the two girls but Yin Huaixi.

There are so many medicinal herbs on the nearby mountains. If I don’t pick them, I’ll always feel like I’ve left something out there, and I’ll feel uncomfortable.

Anyway, there was no need to pry open oysters today, and the medicine pills were ready, so she went up the mountain to collect herbs when she had nothing else to do.

Jiang Wan did not go. She was thinking about the oyster meat and turned to go to Xiaoman's house.

As soon as I entered Xiaoman's house, I saw Yinzhu was there too. It turned out that Yinzhu felt that her home was a bit far from the end of the village, so she simply carried the oysters to Xiaoman's house to pry them together.

At this moment, there were already a lot of oyster shells piled up in Xiaoman's yard, and there was also a lot of oyster meat in the bucket. It would probably take another hour to pry them all open.

"Xiao Wan, what do you want so much oyster meat for?"

"We'll sell it as a condiment."

The fact that he was selling oyster sauce would sooner or later be known to the whole village. Jiang Wan had no intention of keeping it a secret, but she also didn't go into too much detail.

She observed carefully and found that the oyster meat produced by Xiaoman and Yinzhu's families together weighed about 50 kilograms. Adding the one produced by Aunt Cuifang's family, it must be over 100 kilograms.

Hey! We need to buy some firewood for the house.

There was no need to look for anyone else. She saw that Xiaoman's family had collected a lot of firewood in her yard. Both coarse and fine firewood were neatly stacked in the corner of the wall.

One piece of thick wood can be burned for half an hour. Buy two bundles and burn them slowly.

As soon as Jiang Wan said that, Xiao Manniang wanted to give it to her on the spot, which she couldn't accept. After much persuasion, she finally refused the two bundles of firewood and decided to buy them with money instead.

At this time, there was a knock on Xiaoman's door. Xiaoman's mother went to open the door, but the person outside didn't come in. It seemed that he just returned something and left.

As soon as Xiaoman saw the clothes in her mother's hands, she knew who the visitor was.

"It took you so long to return it. I don't even want this dress anymore."

"You dare not ask me to spank you? What's the big deal about washing nice clothes? Qian Yue has a hard life, why do you always dislike her?"

Xiaoman's mother muttered to herself as she put the clothes back into the house. Outside, Xiaoman and Yinzhu were already chattering about Qian Yue.

"Xiao Wan, don't listen to my mother. If you meet Qian Yue, ignore her."

"She's a bit bad."

Yinzhu saw that Jiang Wan didn't look disgusted, so she continued, "She is really good at lying. She coaxed Lian Baozhu from the village to help her with work, but secretly she disliked Lian Baozhu."

"Yinzhu and I were lazing around in a tree one time, and I happened to hear her scolding Baozhu for being fat. I later secretly told Baozhu about it, but she refused to believe me. I was so pissed off."

Both of them were furious and really disliked Qian Yue.

Xiao Manniang knew that her daughter didn't like Qian Yue, and she didn't like her either. Qian Yue's way of marrying into the village was not at all honorable, and to be honest, few people in the village liked her.

But, I was washing clothes in the ditch before and my own bucket tripped and fell into the ditch, so I must give my own clothes to the person to change. Although it took a long time to return the clothes, at least I returned them.

She didn't know what to say.

"By the way, I've seen Aunt Xu from the Zhou family getting pretty close to Qian Yue these past two days. Xiao Wan, your family seems to have a pretty good relationship with the Zhou family, so remember to remind Aunt Xu."

Jiang Wan responded dryly.

Reminding people seems to offend them, and if they don’t remind them, they will suffer losses…

She decided to go back and tell her mother and let her talk to her.

After all, A-niang had a past friendship with the man, and they were of the same age, so it was easier for her to talk to him.

Jiang Wan played at Xiaoman's house for half an hour and then went home. She was shocked when she entered the yard.

"Mother, why are you back so early?!"

"My aunt went to the mountains to collect herbs and walked a little too far without paying attention. She encountered the Li people hunting and got scared."

Yin Huaixi blushed when he heard his niece say this.

It's really shameful.

Such a big person was actually frightened by a hunting trip. She even sprained her ankle while running back. If she hadn't met Lian Yue on the mountain, she estimated that it would take her an hour to get down the mountain.

But it's really scary!

The wild boar, which was stabbed and bleeding, stared at her with wide eyes. When she raised her head, she saw another man with blood on his face staring at her fiercely, as if he would throw the spear at her in the next moment.

Who wouldn't run?

She, she had never seen such a bloody scene in modern times, it was lucky that her legs didn't go limp.

"Are you not hurt, mother?"

Jiang Wan is more concerned about this.

"It's nothing. I just sprained my ankle while running. I applied some ointment and it will be fine in two days."

"That's good."

"Who sprained his ankle?"

There was a sound coming from the door, Jiang Wan turned around and saw, what a coincidence. As soon as I mentioned her today, she came home.

"Mingwei, what a rare guest! Wanwan, go get a chair."

Jiang Wan quickly went into the house to move a chair, and her cousin also went to pour some water.

Xu Mingwei felt jealous looking at the two girls who were like little bees. She thought her daughter would also be well-behaved and sensible when she grew up.

"These two girls are finally getting better. They looked frighteningly thin on the road."

Yin Huaixi nodded. That’s right. When he first came through, he looked like that. If I looked at him for a few more seconds, I would have nightmares.

Now, after more than half a month of recuperation, my face is not much fatter, but at least I can feel the bones. My complexion is much better, and I don't look sick anymore.

"Mingwei, what brings you here today?"

"Hehe~ It's nothing, I just wanted to thank you. The village chief told us that it was your family who recommended Ah He to be a tutor. You don't know how worried I was when he worked on the boat every day. Now it's good. He gets a sufficient salary as a tutor and doesn't have to do any heavy work."

Xu Mingwei's eyes were welling up with tears as she spoke. She really loved her husband.

"Originally, my husband and I were supposed to come together, but he got sick with a fever after falling into the sea, so it was not appropriate for him to come out with me."

"Fever? Have you seen the doctor and got some medicine?"

"I went to the city to buy some things today and I got him two doses of fever-reducing medicine. He's now lying down at home after taking it."

As Xu Mingwei spoke, he opened the basket he brought with him. Inside was a piece of fat meat weighing about two kilograms, a piece of lean meat weighing about two kilograms, a small jar that looked like candy, and another jar that said wine.

"Huai Xi, this is a little gift from our family. It's not much, I hope you don't mind it."

The two sisters who were drooling at the side said: This is not a lot? ?
