Chapter 88 Gold Falls from the Sky

Tang Qingshan frowned and looked up: "Why are you so startled?"

"No, Dad!" The third brother pointed over there: "Why do I think that's a snake?"

Tang Qingshan said, "If you really encounter a snake, you must not be startled!" As he spoke, he slowly approached. Xinbao was a little scared and hugged his legs. The three of them stretched their heads to look. Tang Qingshan said, "This should be the snake they killed yesterday."

"Really?" The third brother turned around, found a branch, stretched out his hand, and picked up a turquoise snake. It was as thick as a cucumber, with a slightly yellow belly. It was mixed in the grass and could not be seen at all.

The third brother asked: "Dad, can this kind of snake be eaten?"

Tang Qingshan said: "You can eat it, just chop off the head."

He looked at the little girl, who was hugging his legs like a koala, hiding her face and only showing one big, twinkling eye.

Tang Qingshan rubbed her little head: "Xinbaoer, are you scared?"

Xinbao shook his head.

Tang Qingshan said, "Take it back and eat it later."

The third brother picked up the snake and put it on a rock. He continued to pick chestnuts and said, "I heard that snake meat is delicious, fragrant and smooth! Dad, have you ever eaten it?"

Tang Qingshan said, "Have you forgotten? Your second uncle loves to eat snakes and is also very good at cooking them. I've eaten them there several times."

As the two were talking, Xinbao glanced at the snake, and then glanced again.

She had seen snakes several times in her previous life, so she was not afraid of them. However, she was a little scared. The hairs on her back stood up. She stood up and moved a little further away from the stone. She looked at it and felt uneasy, so she moved a little further away, and a little further away...

Just when he thought he was far enough away, he stepped on something round. Xinbao slipped and sat on the ground, saying anxiously, "De De De De De De!"

The third brother was startled and rushed over to hug his sister in his arms: "Why did you fall? Hey, there's another snake, also dead..."

He tilted his head and touched his sister's face: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xinbao'er, don't look, I'll take it away now, it's okay."

He picked up the snake and put it together with the other one. He walked around holding his sister, rocking and shaking her, trying to distract her: "Xinbao, do you think the flowers over there are pretty? Can I pick some for you? I can also pick some fur and ask my fourth brother to weave a rabbit for you when we go back."

Xinbao slowly raised his head and looked over there.

Seeing that she was interested, the third brother put her down and slid down the slope to pick the fruit for her.

Xinbao squatted on the edge of the slope. He originally just wanted to watch his brother pick flowers, but he always felt that the stone next to him was a little strange.

Xinbao slid down carefully with shaking legs and touched the stone. Just then, his third brother picked a handful of dogtail grass and brought it over. Xinbao turned his hand over and swept the stone with the dogtail grass. Then, a little bit of bright gold flashed out from the dark stone.

Xinbao said: "Yes!"

The third brother asked, "What's wrong?"

He came over with a handful of wild flowers, and Xinbao pointed at the stone: "Gold!"

The third brother was just trying to tease his sister: "Wow, Xinbaoer is awesome! He found the golden stone!"

Xinbao emphasized: "It's really gold!"

"Okay," the third brother said with a smile, "Then I'll carry you home and hold you to sleep, okay?"

Xinbao nodded: "Okay."

"Ah?" The third brother laughed, "You really want it?"

Xinbao blinked his eyes...Negative gold, of course he wants it. This piece can probably be refined into a small piece of gold. Why not want it?

The third brother smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll carry you home!"

The few people picked only five or six pounds of chestnuts in total. The third brother simply found a stone piece, chopped off the snake's head, tied it with a straw rope, and walked down the mountain.

When we were going down the mountain, we met a lot of people. I guess they saw Tang Shitou picking chestnuts, so they wanted to come up and pick some to take back to feed their children.

The third brother laughed and said, "There are still quite a few left. I swayed them all over the ground and picked up some of the floating pieces. You guys can go and scoop some more."

The man nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "You also got two snakes?"

"Yes, it's dead. I found it for free," said the third brother, "it should be the snake that bit someone yesterday."

Everyone I met was very envious.

Someone was holding a basket with both hands and looking behind him: "What is this?"

"Don't mention it," the third brother said with a smile, "Xinbaoer liked this stone and insisted on having it, so I picked it up for her."

Many people came over and talked to Tang Shitou.

It's not about the closeness of the relationship, but everyone is free right now, with nothing to do, so they just talk about family matters.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Tang Shitou smiled on the surface, but he was extremely furious in his heart. He was the first one there, so why didn't he see the snake?

Snake meat is very nutritious. One snake is a whole pot of meat! Or two! It can be eaten for several meals! When I think of this, I feel my stomach twisting.

Tang Shitou said sourly: "It's a poisonous snake, don't let anything get out of it."

"Why are you afraid of a poisonous snake? Even if you chop off its head, it's all meat. It's like you've never eaten it before."

Tang Shitou was annoyed by what he said, and said, "But Brother Qingshan and his family really love their children. They carry a stone down without thinking it's too heavy."

"That's right. I heard that he was watching the eldest brother too! Even when the child was making a fuss, Brother Qingshan didn't stop him."

"Yes," Shitou's wife couldn't help but say, "This little girl has been spoiled by her father and brother. She is ignorant! She doesn't know how to be considerate of adults! Our Juanzi has been obedient since she was a child and has never been like this."

When Juanzi was mentioned, the villagers laughed a few times.

Tang Juanzi and Chen Yuhua from Tang Shitou's family have been competing with each other to block Big Brother Tang recently, and everyone in the village has seen it.

Brother Tang is sixteen years old, and it is time for him to get married. He has dumped the guy in the old house, and his life is obviously getting better. The young man is handsome and obviously capable. There are many girls in the village who want to win his heart, but the only ones who stand out are Chen Yuhua and Juanzi.

The village auntie couldn't help but advise: "Juanzi, don't blame me for being blunt. It's just a surname. You'd better forget it. The old patriarch won't let you."

Tang Juanzi's face was tender, and she said anxiously, "I didn't! I don't like his family! They spoil a little girl to the sky, their family tradition is not right!"

Shitou's wife was so anxious that she kept glaring at her daughter.

Saying that the family tradition is not right, that's what Tang Shitou said when he was jealous of others at home, you can't say it outside! Besides, since you know that he loves his sister, if your words get to Brother Tang's ears, it would be strange if he would pay attention to you! Tang Juanzi understood what her mother said, but she was angry and anxious at the moment, so she stood up and ran into the house.

The Tang family didn't care what the villagers said.

When Tang Qingshan came back, Brother Tang and Madam Lin had already returned.

Seeing the two large jars of fermented bean curd on the table, Tang Qingshan frowned and asked Tang Dalang, "Did you go?"

Tang Dalang coughed and said, "Hmm."

He thought his father would definitely scold him, but he didn't expect Tang Qingshan to be indifferent and asked, "What happened?"

Tang Dalang was stunned: "No, nothing happened?"
