When I got home, my wife was eating the food brought back by the little girl.
The little monkey Jixiang sat at the table and ate the food in his bowl.
The little girl sat next to him, happily talking about what happened today, focusing on her highlights such as helping to hawk meat, getting pocket money, and getting discounts from the proprietress when buying things at a cultural and sports store.
I definitely wouldn't say a word about the embarrassing incident where I was walking until I almost cried.
"Wife, you didn't make dinner yourself?"
Chen Wang glanced at the kitchen and saw no signs of cooking.
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a smile and gestured a few times, meaning that she had originally planned to wait until they came back to do it.
"It's a good thing we packed it up, so you don't have to wait for us like this in the future. You have to cook and eat when it's time for one person."
Chen Wang gave the instructions with a serious look on his face.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded, then lowered her head to continue eating the food she had packed.
It was actually a little cold, but she didn't mind at all.
We have come through all the hard times, and this food is so much better than when we were a child and ate sweet potatoes and wild vegetable cakes every day.
"Woof!"
The puppy Ruyi ran to his feet from somewhere and barked at him.
Chen Wang picked up the puppy, stroked its head, and talked about planning to build a new house after the New Year.
Lin Xiuqin was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on her face.
Who doesn’t want life to get better and better!
She knew that her husband said this because he must have made a lot of money on this trip and was confident that he could make money from hunting next time.
"On the way back, Dazhuang and his dad talked about this. I thought about it and realized that our house was built when my parents got married, so it's time to expand it."
"Isn't there a large piece of vacant land to the west of our house? I'll talk to the village chief and ask him to buy it, enclose a larger yard, and build a courtyard."
"Then we'll build a pavilion in the yard, plant some trees, and have barbecues in the yard in the summer and hot pot in the winter."
Chen Wang smiled and described the life scenes he imagined in a gentle tone.
Lin Xiuqin and the little girl were both listening in fascination. As he described, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and their expressions were filled with longing and yearning.
"Brother, brother, when will our new house be built?"
The little girl asked impatiently.
Chen Wang raised his hand with amusement and tapped her forehead lightly.
"It's still too early. We won't start until after the Chinese New Year. It will take at least two months to build a house."
"Well...it still takes so long!"
The little girl covered her forehead and muttered reluctantly.
"Okay, I'll go boil some water. You should take a shower and go to bed. Your feet must be sore from walking all day!"
Chen Wang stood up and said.
"Um."
The little girl nodded aggrievedly.
"Wife, on our way there, this girl..."
Chen Wang suddenly exposed the little girl's embarrassing moments.
“Ahhh…”
The little girl blushed and shouted loudly, trying to interrupt him.
Chen Wang waited for her to finish her yelling before adding, "I almost cried."
After saying that, he ran to the stove as if escaping, and lit a fire to boil water.
"Ahhh, you stinky brother. I hate you so much."
The little girl waved her fists angrily. She looked fierce, but actually she was just cute.
After taking a shower and returning to the room, Chen Wang took out the remaining money for the day.
After deducting the 7.5 yuan spent on meals, there was 673.5 yuan left.
Lin Xiuqin took out two big unity bills and gave them to him together with 3.5 yuan in change. She took out her previous savings and put the remaining 650 yuan together.
650 plus 580, the savings has exceeded 1,000, reaching 1,230.
The problem is that the 123 sheets of the big unity are so thick that they can no longer be hidden under the quilt and look bulgy.
Lin Xiuqin didn't want to separate the money, so she held a stack of big unity notes in her hand and looked around, looking for a new place to hide the money.
In fact, banking services were already very popular at that time, but people in rural areas generally had less savings and were not used to putting money in banks.
"Wife, why don't you deposit the money in the bank someday? Nowadays, people deposit money in banks. It's very convenient to withdraw and deposit money, and there's interest!"
Chen Wang suggested with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin thought about it and nodded in agreement to the suggestion.
With the rate her husband was making money, the family savings would only increase. She had to hide them all. She would be thinking about the money all day long and she wouldn't dare to sleep too deeply.
So, Lin Xiuqin first found a piece of black cloth to put the wallet in, and then put it in a cotton jacket pocket in the closet.
She looked at Chen Wang who was sitting beside the bed, pointed to the cotton-padded jacket in the closet, and signaled him to remember to put the money in there, worried that she would accidentally forget it.
"I understand. Don't worry!"
Chen Wang nodded with a smile.
My wife's money-loving look is quite cute.
Lin Xiuqin's pretty face flushed slightly and she gave him a pair of coquettish eyes.
"Wife, come and sleep."
"Hey, don't be shy, we are already an old married couple."
"Look at you, rolling your eyes at me again, this only turns me on more."
…
…
I didn’t plan to go into the mountains the next day, so I slept in comfortably.
Hunting is very tiring, and I was busy all day yesterday just processing the prey.
It is necessary to have a good rest for a day and recover your strength before going into the mountains.
When nature woke up, the sun was already shining into the room.
Chen Wang put on his clothes, got out of bed and walked out of the room. He saw the little girl with one hand on her waist and pointing at the little monkey and scolding him.
