Chapter 27: The Pure White Rabbit Seems Not Pure
A bank note with a denomination of fifty taels, plus thirty-two taels of silver on the table.
Uncle Erzhu and Aunt Erzhu are farmers. They can't calculate how big a figure this is, but they also know that it is an astronomical figure for ordinary farmers.
You must know that at this time, a load of rice only cost dozens of copper coins, and one tael of silver could buy a lot of rice.
And how many tons of rice can this money buy now?
Whenever he thinks of this, Uncle Erzhu can't stop trembling.
"Brother Hui, where did you get so much money?"
"Could it be that you went to rob the bank?"
"This is impossible!" Uncle Erzhu couldn't help but look at Huang Tinghui and asked.
After all, all this is too magical for Uncle Erzhu.
Facing Uncle Erzhu's inquiry, Huang Tinghui was a little bit dumbfounded. He knew that if he didn't explain clearly today, Uncle Erzhu would never let him go easily.
Huang Tinghui could only tell Uncle Erzhu how he earned eighty taels of silver.
"It's better if it wasn't stolen from the bank!"
"After paying back the more than 20 taels of silver given to the old man of the Lu family, there is still a lot left over!"
"After you two get married, I will ask the folks in the village to help build you a new house!"
"You can't live in a thatched house all the time. It's too damp inside, and people are prone to getting sick if they live in it!" Uncle Erzhu told Huang Tinghui.
"Uncle Erzhu, I know that these ten taels of silver are for you and your aunt. My cousin and the others have grown up and should buy new clothes!"
“There are a lot of places where money is needed at home!”
"Tinghui just got some silver, and he is not short of money to spend. Uncle and aunt, please keep these ten taels of silver!"
With that said, Huang Tinghui returned the silver in Wu Feilian's hand to Uncle Erzhu.
Uncle Erzhu smiled when he saw this, and he said: "Forget it, Uncle Erzhu will keep the money first, the sky is getting darker!"
"Uncle, I will light a torch for you. You can use the light of the torch to go back later!"
Uncle Erzhu handed the ten taels of silver to his mother-in-law, turned around and walked towards the stove.
The bark you found must be cut longitudinally with a knife into filaments and strips.
Uncle Erzhu mixed some cedar oil powder into the bark.
Don't use too much cedar oil powder, otherwise the torch will not be durable.
This is all technical work, but for a hunter like Uncle Erzhu in the mountains and forests, it is not too difficult.
Finally, the treated bark was rolled up and tied, and Uncle Erzhu put it on the stove and lit it.
There are orange-red flames jumping in the air,
A simple torch was made so easily.
"Lian'er!"
"Here, take it!" Uncle Erzhu called Wu Feilian over.
Huang Tinghui was holding a quilt in his hand and it was really difficult to hold the torch, so Uncle Erzhu moved the little girl over.
"Yes!" the little girl responded softly. He took the torch handed over by Uncle Erzhu and followed Huang Tinghui closely.
"Go slower!"
"Go home early!" Uncle Erzhu urged.
After he finished speaking, he was patted by his wife, "Should I ask you to walk slower or go home early?"
After hearing what his aunt said, Uncle Erzhu realized that his statement was contradictory.
Seeing the scene of her aunt slapping the two pillars, Wu Feilian lowered her head and covered her mouth with a smile.
When Huang Tinghui, who was holding the new mattress, saw this, he gently bent down and whispered in the little girl's ear: "Don't Lian'er also want to act like an aunt and bully your brother Tinghui in the future?"
After Huang Tinghui finished speaking, the little girl immediately lowered her head and quickly explained: "No, no!"
"Lian'er will not bully brother Tinghui!"
Seeing the little girl waving her hands and explaining quickly, Huang Tinghui burst into laughter. This little girl is really cute!
"Then you have to grow up quickly!"
"When you grow up, your brother Tinghui will be able to bully you!" Huang Tinghui rubbed the little girl's head and said softly.
"Ah?" The little girl held up the torch and was a little stunned. After a long while, she asked: "Brother Tinghui, why are you bullying me?"
Through the dancing orange flame of the torch, Huang Tinghui saw the little girl's pure and flawless eyes, which were really innocent and cute.
Even Huang Tinghui, a veteran driver, didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Huang Tinghui coughed and said to the little girl: "It's getting dark. Let's go home quickly!"
After saying that, Huang Tinghui took a few steps forward with the new quilt in his arms, and the little girl followed him immediately.
But at this moment, the little girl was still thinking about how Brother Tinghui was going to bully her.
Of course, Huang Tinghui would never tell the little girl what he meant by those words.
The sky darkened very quickly, the moon hid behind the clouds, and there was no light scattered at all.
Fortunately, with the light of the torch, the two of them walked quickly towards the thatched house.
Orange-red flames kept jumping in the night, and the little girl and Huang Tinghui walked side by side.
She held the torch tightly in her hand, trying to light up every small hole on the ground.
The little girl fell into this small pit more than once. Just because she had fallen, she never wanted her brother Tinghui to fall into this small pit too.
But what the little girl didn't notice was that the scene of her slightly lowering her head was reflected in the shadow illuminated by the firelight, as if she was gently nestled between Huang Tinghui's arms.
The two shadows in the firelight cuddled tightly together, gradually lengthening into the distance.
Even the most beautiful scenery in the world is not as beautiful as it is now.
The cuddle between those two figures in this autumn night is a lifetime!
The torch made of bark made a "cracking" burning sound, and a rather fragrant smell of oil came out.
Huang Tinghui and the little girl finally arrived near the thatched house.
"Brother Tinghui, we are home!" The little girl pointed to the thatched house not far away and said to Huang Tinghui excitedly.
"Yes, we're home!"
"Your brother Tinghui is so exhausted!" Huang Tinghui said to the little girl in a joking tone.
"Ah?" At this moment, the little boy suddenly remembered that Huang Tinghui had been carrying this quilt for so long.
The little girl secretly didn't realize it, so she said to Huang Tinghui: "Brother Tinghui, let me get it for you!"
"I lied to you!"
"How can we be tired after only walking so long?" Huang Tinghui said to the little girl, "Go and take a bath!"
"If you don't obey me, brother Tinghui will bully you when you go to bed!" Huang Tinghui said to the little girl with a smile.
At this time, the little girl suddenly realized. Her pretty face was slightly red, and her beautiful crystal and amber eyes looked at Huang Tinghui seriously.
Wu Feilian asked word for word: "Brother Tinghui, this is what you mean by bullying!"
Huang Tinghui was stunned.
It’s over, the innocent little white rabbit seems to be impure!
