Chapter 18 Visiting Uncle's House
Uncle Zhou of the restaurant heard the movement and came out and said, "Why are you here again? What is on this bullock cart?"

Xia Ying lifted the thatch above and saw that there were actually two big wild boars.

He said, "Is this what you hunted?"

Xia Yingying coughed and said, "I hit a tree, we found a bargain."

Uncle Zhou looked at the wound, and it really looked like he had hit a tree.

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "I can give two wild boars three taels, what do you think?"

Only two or three?Xia Yingying thought that this wild boar would cost seven to eight taels no matter what.

It is not easy to make money!

"Thank you Uncle Zhou." Xia Ying often runs outside, so he naturally knows that the price is about the same.

Xia Ying took the silver and handed it directly to Xia Yingying. The Xia family brothers had no money in their hands, so all the copper coins were given to her.

Xia Yingying took the money, and after she went out, she took out 80 coins and gave 20 coins to each brother, saying: "Everyone has a share, this is your reward, and Xia Hu also has a share."

Xia Hu shook his head and said, "Sister, you should save this! Our family has a lot of money!"

Xia Yingying looked at him and said with a smile: "Money is the motivation. Besides, you have worked hard. You deserve the copper money. Don't you still want to go to school?"

Xiahu thought of going to school, so he put the copper coins next to him.

Xia Yingying bought ten meat buns, made two jugs of wine and said, "Let's ask someone to borrow an ox cart. When the time comes, you can give the wine to Uncle and the village head of Zhengjia Village."

These two jugs of wine are the cheapest kind, costing 10 Wen.

Xia Ying nodded, drove the ox cart, sent them back, and then gave the wine to the uncle and the village head of Zhengjia Village.

The head of Zhengjia Village raised his beard in joy: "This Xia family boy is really good."

In the evening, I ate sweet potato porridge. Seeing the meat buns brought back by Xia Yingying, Xia Bao's mouth watered.

Wherever Xia Yingying went, he followed her.

Xia Yingying looked at the little tail and said, "Leopard, what's wrong?"

"I want to eat meat...meat..." Xia Bao said embarrassedly, pointing his fingers.

Xia Yingying picked him up and said, "You're hungry, then eat first."

After speaking, he took a meat bun for him, and washed his hands for him by the way.

Xia Hu, on the other hand, looked at the two "baa baa" with excitement and said, "I don't know if I can keep them alive? My sister is really capable."

A smile appeared on Xia Hu's face and said: "That's right, I don't even think about who our sister is! She's amazing! We have to grow up quickly so that we can support her in the future."

The whole Xia family seemed to be celebrating the New Year, and Xia Hu also got 20 Wen, and the corners of his mouth rose happily.

He didn't expect that he could get copper coins for bringing Xia Bao at home every day. Although it was only 20 Wen, he regarded it as a treasure and held it at night when he slept.

In the early morning of the next day, they started their morning exercises. After the exercises, they dug out the charcoal they made yesterday, and sent the bean sprouts to the town.

A total of 120 copper coins were obtained, and Xia Yingying bought 20 copper coins, and a group of people went back with the meat.

I'm going to my uncle's house for dinner at noon today. They brought a piece of meat and some bean sprouts, which are ready-made at home anyway.

Seeing them coming, the eldest aunt quickly greeted them:

"Come right here, what else do you bring, Xia Ying, I haven't told you about what happened yesterday!

Just doing a favor and buying wine for your uncle, it's really... Sit down, sit down, your uncle is going to work in town. "

Grandma kept coughing inside, and she came out slowly with her back arched, looking a little scary.

She looked at Xia Yingying and said, "This is the child! She looks so beautiful."

She took out a few candies from her pocket and said, "This is for you to eat."

To be honest, these candies were a bit black, the aunt frowned, and was about to say something, Xia Yingying directly took the candies, and said with a smile: "Thank you, grandma."

Grandma coughed a few times and said, "This one is much better than that one. Every time that one sees me, that one always looks disgusted, hey!"

The eldest aunt hurriedly said: "Mother, if you are not well, just lie down well, what are you doing when you get up?"

"I just came out to take a look, the daughter of the Jinhua family, she is really pretty...cough coughcough..." Grandma said as she walked into the room.

The eldest aunt sighed: "Your grandma's health is not good, she always coughs, and I don't know why!"

Then I heard a voice from outside: "Mother, come out quickly, my elder brother caught a fish, a big herring."

When Xia Yingying went out, she saw three children from her aunt's family standing outside.

Xia Hu said: "The one holding the fish is the eldest cousin, the one standing beside him pursing his lips and not speaking is the second cousin, and the youngest one is the cousin."

The eldest aunt went over to get the fish and said happily: "It's time to cook fish soup. Yesterday your mother taught me how to cook fish soup. You are here to play..."

After speaking, he plunged into the kitchen.

The second cousin looked at Xia Ying and the others and said, "Youyou just left not long ago, but you all turned to outsiders, and completely forgot about her, how can you be worthy of her?"

Xia Ying frowned and said, "What do you know?"

The second cousin snorted coldly: "If you didn't bully her, how could she leave? I will never admit that you are my cousin."

This second cousin was very loyal to Xia Youyou, so he turned his head and left after speaking.

Xia Hu said softly: "Originally, the family planned to make an engagement for my second cousin and Xia Youyou, but after Xia Youyou went to the capital, this matter didn't work out, so don't be angry."

No wonder this second cousin hated her deeply, Xia Yingying was not angry!
It's just that Xia Youyou still has a childhood sweetheart here, so the little cousin ignored her and ran away to play on her own.

The eldest cousin has a dull temper, tidying up the floor cage and said: "The second child has such a temper, he has always liked Youyou, you sit down!"

It used to be quite happy before, but now everyone is not very happy.

After the eldest aunt cooked the herring soup and finished eating, Xia Ying took a few people and left in a hurry.

Xia Lang couldn't help complaining:
"Then Zheng Jiafu is also true, as long as he still misses Xia Youyou, people don't like him at all.

At that time, when I heard that the two families were going to get married, Xia Youyou smashed everything in the house, hey! "

It turned out that there was such a thing, Xia Yingying smiled slightly, this Xia Youyou is very ambitious, how can he think of a country boy?
After returning from her aunt's house, Xia Yingying went to the mountains, making money is the last word.

When they got to the mountains, they went to check the traps, but there were no prey.

Xia Lang was a little disappointed, he said, "I want to make a ground cage and throw it in the pond, but I don't know if there are any fish in it?"

He also saw his big cousin's ground cage, and his eyes were greedy. No wonder he kept asking questions when he was in Zheng's house.

Xia Yingying quite agreed: "Can you make a ground cage?"

Xia Lang smiled and said: "I can try, I also made bamboo baskets with my father before."
