Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 188

Standing up, he looked and walked towards the sunset.

After walking for about an hour, it was already dark, and finally saw a village. Xia Wende was very excited, and immediately walked to the nearest house.

"Bang bang bang!"

Xia Wende raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Is anyone there, open the door!"

Two old men were eating in the house and paused when they heard a knock on the door.

"Who knocked on the door so late?" the old woman muttered.

The old man shook his head, "Eat first, I'll go out and have a look." After speaking, the old man got up and walked out.

"Who is it?" The old man walked to the door and asked.

"Open the door quickly! This son needs to eat!" Xia Wende rubbed his hands and said, knocking on the door until his hands hurt.

"Ben Shizi? Whose family is Shizi?" The old man wondered. There is a person named Shizi in the village. Who is Shizi?
The old man opened the door and saw Xia Wende standing outside the door. He looked up and down with his dim eyes, but he didn't recognize him.

"Whose family are you a child?" the old man asked.

"Me? Of course I am the child of King Jin! I am the eldest son!" Xia Wende said proudly.

"Who is King Jin? Why are you here, Shizi?" the old man continued to ask.

Xia Wende rubbed his belly, "You don't even know my father? I want to have some food at your house, my son is starving to death!"

The old man frowned and looked at the person in front of him, feeling a little emotional that he was reduced to begging at such a young age.

Forget it, just take pity on him, "Come in." The old man gave way and let Xia Wende enter the gate.

Xia Wende breathed a sigh of relief and followed the old man back into the house.

Entering the house, a candle was lit on the wooden table, and the weak candlelight illuminated the dinner on the table, a plate of steamed salted fish and a plate of wild vegetables.

"Master, who's here?" The old woman put down her chopsticks and turned her head to look over.

The old man pointed to Xia Wende next to him, "His name is Shi Zi, he is very hungry, and he came to our house to beg for a meal."

Seeing the food on the table, Xia Wende could no longer listen to the old man's words, so he swallowed, walked quickly to the table and sat down.

As he got closer, Xia Wende found that there were only two plates and two bowls of brown rice on the table. One of the bowls was held by the old woman, and the other was right in front of his eyes, but it was obviously half eaten.

"My son wants to eat, hurry up and get me some food!" Xia Wende said.

The old woman glanced at the old man, but the old man silently turned and went to the kitchen.

After a while, the old man came with a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks, and handed it to Xia Wende, "Here, eat quickly!"

Xia Wende took the bowl and chopsticks, put a small salted fish into the bowl, and took a big mouthful of rice into his mouth.

The moment he swallowed it, he frowned and widened his eyes, "What kind of food is this?" His throat was almost broken!
The old man was stunned, "This is rice, haven't you eaten it?" Could it be that this child has never asked for rice?This is too pitiful!
"Rice? Is the rice like this?" Xia Wende looked carefully at the rice grains in the bowl. The candlelight was so weak that he couldn't see clearly. He just felt that the rice was not as white as he usually ate, and it also tasted hard and unpalatable.

Seeing that he even had to look carefully at the rice, the old man concluded that he must have never asked for rice before, and looked at him with more pity.

The old man picked up a small salted fish with chopsticks and put it into Xia Wende's bowl. "Shizi, eat quickly. There is still some rice in the pot. I'll serve it to you soon!"

Xia Wende looked at the old woman opposite and saw that she was eating deliciously. He stopped looking at the rice and wanted to finish eating first!

Picked up a fish, bit off half of it in one bite, and stopped after chewing twice, "It's so salty!"

As if he had taken a big mouthful of salt, his whole mouth was astringent. Xia Wende immediately spat out the fish on the table, "Ha, hiss~"

Seeing him like this, the old man reminded him: "You have never eaten salted fish, have you! Take a bite of rice and press it down. A small bite of this salted fish is enough. You are too anxious!"

Hearing the old man's words, Xia Wende quickly took a big mouthful of rice, and took a few more mouthfuls of rice in a row, until the salty taste in his mouth became lighter.

"Why is this fish the same as salt! It's killing me!" Xia Wende took another mouthful of rice after finishing speaking.

"If you are not used to eating, just eat vegetables!" said the old man, and then put a chopstick of wild vegetables into his bowl.

Xia Wende took a bite of wild vegetables and said, "Well, this is delicious!" He had never eaten this kind of vegetable before, and it felt quite refreshing after eating it.

Sure enough, this kid is really a wild boar who can't eat fine bran, and beggars are used to eating wild vegetables, but they are not used to good vegetables, the old man secretly said.

After eating two bowls of rice with wild vegetables, Xia Wende relieved his hunger and sat on a stool to relax.

"Shi Zi, aren't you leaving?" the old man asked. His meal had been eaten by this man, but why hadn't he left yet?
"Let's go? I'm going to live here today. Tomorrow, you send a letter to Prince Jin's Mansion, asking them to send someone to pick me up. Don't worry, my son will benefit you!" Xia Wende said.

It was so late that he couldn't walk back by himself, and besides, he didn't know the way back.

"You want to live here?" The old man looked at him, wondering in his heart, did this person have some brain problems, and he said he wanted to eat before, why did he stay here again?

He had never heard of the Prince Jin Mansion he was talking about, "Why don't you go to someone else's house!"

Xia Wende glanced at the old man, "My son said, it will benefit you, what are you worried about? If you don't believe me, I will..."

Putting his hand into his sleeve, Xia Wende couldn't find any silver or banknotes. Could it be that they were lost somewhere?
"Huh?" He continued to reach into his arms and touched it!
Xia Wende took out a piece of paper and handed it in front of the old man, "Here, you take this bank note, and you can go to Jinwang Mansion to report the letter tomorrow!"

The old man took the paper, unfolded it and took a look. Although he was illiterate, he could read the bank note, so it was clearly not a bank note!
There seems to be something wrong with this stone's brain!

"Shizi, you'd better take your silver ticket and go to someone else's house!" The old man returned the so-called "silver ticket" to Xia Wende and persuaded him.

This kind of mentally problematic person may fall ill at any time. If he gets sick and beats up everywhere, he and the old woman are the only two people in his family, but he can't be restrained, so let's persuade him to leave!

"Hey, you old man, you don't know how to flatter. This son only gave you a chance because of the meal just now. Putting it on someone else is a great gift!"

Xia Wende got up, pointed at the old man and said, scolding this country man for being short-sighted, usually no one would rush to entertain him, but this old man actually drove him out!

"Shizi, I really don't have any extra room in my house, you should go to another house to have a look!" The old man said in a good voice, for fear of angering him.
