Brother Monkey scratched his head: "We have two whole deer left in our family. We also hunted a few deer a few days ago, so the family is not short of this. I killed two tigers and more than 400 kilograms of meat, so I got ten

Come on. My mother said we haven’t seen you and Uncle Wu for a long time. Let’s come and see you and Uncle Wu. Venison and tiger meat are not often found in butcher shops in the market. Let’s give you and Uncle Wu some.

It’s just fresh.”

Mrs. Qin had just invited people into the house, and had not seen the four pheasants and four hares in the yard, so she said angrily: "I wouldn't say anything if you gave me a pheasant and a rabbit, but these are not cheap.

Okay, I will accept it today, and don’t give it away like this again in the future."

Brother Monkey had no choice but to say: "I also brought a few pheasants and hares, and they are just lying in the yard. Do you want to keep them and kill them later, or should I kill them for you now? The weather is cold now, so pickle them into cured meat and eat them."

Not bad."

Qin:......

What can Mrs. Qin say?

Mrs. Qin was from the county town, and her father was also a scholar. He and her husband Yan Yonglou taught in a private school. Seeing that Yan Yonglou showed his talent, she betrothed her daughter to him.

When Mrs. Qin got married to Yan Yonglou, she had never been to the countryside. She was also a well-educated lady with some romantic feelings. She lived in the countryside for the first time when she got married. She quite liked being surrounded by mountains on three sides, with green peaks and clear waters.

The quiet and pleasant Yanjia Village.

Therefore, she knew that even if they were near the mountains, not everyone could eat game. Without the skills of a hunter, they would not be able to hunt game. Even if they set traps, there would be very few wild animals outside the mountains, so they would have to be lucky to be able to catch game.

Just met one or two pheasants and hares.

Otherwise, the mountain people would not have a difficult life.

When she was newly married, she lived in Yanjia Village for a month and only ate game two or three times.

In recent years, they only returned to the village during the Chinese New Year, and their parents-in-law would go to Zuo's house to buy one or two wild animals for them to taste.

Good guy, my nephew and niece gave her this much this time.

"Thank you, mother, for thinking about me and your fifth uncle."

Mrs. Qin secretly planned in her heart to buy more snacks from the city for her nephews and nieces to try. In addition, she just got a piece of good silk material a few days ago, which was given by her eldest sister-in-law. The color is bright and suitable for a little girl.

, I will make new clothes for my nieces later.

Among the sisters-in-law, Qin and Gongyu Mingxi were both literate and eloquent, so they were the most eloquent. She gave birth to two sons and three little girls from the second brother-in-law's family, all of whom were extremely beautiful.

, she likes it from the bottom of her heart.

After making tea, she felt a little embarrassed that there were no good snacks at home to entertain her nieces and nephews, so she was busy with lunch and asked Yan Hongyu to stop her: "My niece-in-law is not busy. I said I would take Hao'er, Xiaoxun and Guanglu with me."

It's rare for them to come to the restaurant for lunch. When my fifth nephew and the little guy Lingze come back, you should go too."

Lingze is the eldest son of Qin and Yan Yonglou, and he is currently studying in a private school with his father.

Mrs. Qin thought that the morning market had ended, and there really wasn't any good food at home. It was hard to entertain others with the game they brought, so she agreed, thinking to herself, don't ask Uncle Wu to spend the money later, go to the restaurant.

She paid for it.

Life in her family is not difficult. Her husband teaches in a private school and earns five taels of silver a month. She is good at embroidery and does some embroidery work. She does not embroider small things, only large ones, which she can sell in a year.

With two or three items, the income is no worse than that of my husband. I have accumulated some savings from my private house over the years, which is enough to pay for one or two meals.

As a woman, she had nothing to say to the men. After asking about the situation in her hometown, Yan Hongyu took Brother Monkey and Uncle Lu to kill chickens and rabbits. Mrs. Qin took Qixun to talk, and then she knew what happened to her family.

Fire. Fortunately, Hao'er is a child who is very good at hunting. She has made a lot of money by doing this. She even made enough money to build a house next spring, so she feels relieved.

Mrs. Qin also wanted to keep Qixun in the city for a few days. Qixun smiled and said: "My mother teaches us how to read every day. Coming to the county town today has already delayed a day of class. I will come to see you again in the next year, Aunt Wu."

Play at home.”

As a woman with some talents, Mrs. Qin does not think that it is unnecessary for women to study. She thinks that women who do not study are like fish eyes. Because she is good at reading, she and her husband occasionally have poetry competitions, and she is very useful in discussing articles.

With a common language, the relationship between husband and wife is very good. If she didn't understand poetry and articles, and had nothing to say to her husband, how boring would her life be?

She has no daughter. If she had a daughter, she would have to raise her up to be a talented girl.

Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "Your mother is much better than me in poetry and articles. You should follow your mother's example and study hard. If you learn well, you may be able to find a young son-in-law who is number one in the future."

Qixun:......

After Brother Monkey and the others had packed up the chickens and rabbits, Yan Yonglou and his son Lingze also returned home. When they saw people coming from their hometown, Yan Yonglou was in a good mood and complained that Mrs. Qin had not prepared lunch.

Mrs. Qin gave him an angry look: "We don't have good wine or food at home, so let's go to a restaurant to eat. What, why are you reluctant to spend money on your nieces and nephews? Besides, there is an elder like Mr. Xiaowu here today. Is that right?

You give money to show filial piety."

Yan Yonglou laughed heartily.

Although Yan Yonglou was a scholar and was quite polite, he came from a peasant family in a mountain village. Although his ancestors had Jinshi scholars, he could barely be regarded as a farmer and a scholar, but he was not the kind of scholar who could not carry four taels in his hand. He had a cheerful personality.

Frankly, he played the harp with his wife again, and joked to her: "Is it because of my husband, or because I misunderstood my wife? Aren't I worried that your wife will suddenly become stingy and feel sorry for her money?"

Mrs. Qin glared at him: "When have I ever been stingy? You arrange me in front of elders and juniors, but I won't obey. Today we will go to the best restaurant in the county and order the best dishes to see whether it makes you feel bad or me.

.”

Yan Hongyu waved his hand: "Nephew, nephew and daughter-in-law, you don't need to feel bad. With me as an elder here, how can I ask you to spend money? Today, your fifth uncle will treat me, and no one can argue with me. If you feel sorry for me, nephew and daughter-in-law, please help me.

Let me make two pairs of cotton-padded shoes for the winter. The ones I bought from outside are not very durable. My other shoes are fine, but these shoes cost a lot of money. How many pairs will be worn out in a month?"

Mrs. Qin hurriedly responded.

Lingze was also very happy to see his cousin. He asked Brother Hou and Qixun to talk. After asking if the elders in the family were okay, he complained to the two of them: "I used to feel so comfortable when I was studying with my second uncle.

My father now forces me to study in the county town. The teachers in the school are not as good as my second uncle, and the students in the school are also very annoying. I told my father that I wanted to go back to the countryside, but he still scolded me. Originally

Dad said that my eldest brother would also come to the county to study for a while, and I was very happy, but after waiting and waiting, my eldest brother didn’t come. This time, can you stay at my house for a few days before going back?"

Among the brothers, Lingze Xingliu, the one he respects the most is his eldest brother Lingzhou, but the one he likes the most is this cousin Hao who is not in the brother ranking and was adopted to the Gongyu family. He is nine years old this year, younger than Brother Hou.
