Chapter 23
Unlike in the morning when he was in a mess, he was now dressed neatly and neatly, with dark blue overalls covered with large and small patches.

The cloth shoes under the feet were also covered with several patches, and the whole body was filled with a cold aura, which made people fearful just by looking at it.

When Huzi saw Huo Chen running, he was so frightened that he ran directly behind Xu Ying, his body stiffened, and there was a trace of tears in his eye sockets.

Holding Xu Ying's clothes tightly with both hands: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let's go back quickly!"

Xu Ying was puzzled, touched Huzi's head, looked at Huo Chen and asked, "Sold out? So fast?"

Huo Chen was no longer surprised by Huzi's appearance. The children in their village ran away when they saw him, and only the daughter of the captain's family dared to talk to him for some reason.

He nodded, looked at no one around, and immediately took out a wad of money and tickets from his pocket and gave them to Xu Ying: "The wolf meat is sold for [-] cents per catty, and I also gave other tickets.

Those wolves weighed more than 200 catties in total, and they were sold for 160 yuan. Thank you for saving me and Lao Hui for the remaining money. "

Xu Ying's eyes were shining, and she looked like a complete little money fan. After receiving the money, she quickly stuffed the money and tickets into her clothes: "Thank you, Comrade Huo."

Huo Chen stared blankly at Xu Ying's money-loving look, then waved his hand, and after lifting his foot, he said, "You can come to me later if you need anything."

Before Xu Ying figured out what was going on, his figure disappeared into the woods.

Huzi had been hiding behind Xu Ying. When he saw Huo Chen leaving, he slowly poked his head out: "Sister-in-law, why are you talking to the wolf cub? What are you selling?"

Xu Ying frowned when she heard the name wolf cub, looked at Huzi and scolded: "What wolf cub, he has a name, Huo Chen, you can call him Uncle Huo in the future.

Let's talk about selling things when we get home, do you hear me? "

Huzi was completely puzzled, but he still wanted to listen to my sister-in-law.

But looking at Xu Ying, Huzi's eyes were shining. What a terrible person the wolf cub is, but my sister-in-law still dared to talk to him.

"Let's collect firewood first. Once we're done, we'll go back. When we get home, I'll let your milk boil eggs for us."

Huzi was so happy when he heard the egg, his mouth was almost crooked, and his small body was slinking back and forth in the mountains.

After finishing beating the pig grass with stones, they also started to collect firewood. The three of them continued collecting until after four o'clock.

There were already three bundles of firewood tied beside her, Xu Ying put one bundle in the back basket and held the other bundle in her hands.

Shi Shi carried pigweed on his back and went back with a bundle of firewood in his arms.

When Mother Xu saw her daughter coming back with firewood, she felt distressed, and immediately took the firewood from her hand: "Oh, my dear, how can you carry it back, why don't you carry it on the stone.

Look at the pricking on your body, it's all red, feel sorry for me to death! "

Xu Ying looked at Shitou's small body, so let's go!
Xu's mother frowned and was about to die of anger.

Xu Ying put all the firewood on the ground, fumbled in her pocket for a long time, and directly took out a wad of money.

Xu's mother suddenly stood there dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

After a long time, she took her daughter into the house and stammered: "Where did you get so much money?"

Xu Ying smiled, pulled Xu's mother to sit on the edge of the bed, and gave the 200 yuan directly to Xu's mother.

Huo Chen gave her a total of 300 yuan, of which more than 100 was money for selling meat, and the remaining 100 was Huo Chen's reward for her kindness.

She deserved the money, if she hadn't saved Huo Chen and Lao Hui, they probably would have died.

Mother Xu looked at the money and was shocked from ear to ear: "Girl, what did you do, did you go to rob?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? I earned this money myself. By the way, there are also tickets." Xu Ying said and took out all the tickets in her pocket, including cloth tickets, candy tickets, meat tickets, and one Bike ticket.

"How do you earn it?" Mother Xu asked anxiously, her daughter won't do illegal things, right?

Xu Ying then told her about going up the mountain to rescue Huo Chen and helping him hunt together: "Mom, half of the money is the money I earned from hunting and hunting with Huo Chen, and the other half is because he is grateful to me. The money I gave you as a life-saving gift.”

After hearing this, Xu's mother shed tears. She stretched out her hand and gave Xu Ying a light blow on the back: "You damn girl, I told you not to go to the mountains, why are you still going to that place?" What a place.

If you make a mistake, what will your dad and I do? You are going to make me mad. "

The wolf cub almost died, which showed how dangerous the scene was, but this damn girl still dared to step forward. Thinking that her daughter almost died, Xu's mother felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"Mom, I just went to the mountains once, so don't worry, I will definitely not go there again in the future." Seeing her mother in such discomfort, Xu Ying felt her heart tightening and comforted her.

Xu's mother then wiped her tears and gave all the money in her hand to Xu Ying: "Daughter, you can keep this money yourself. Mom doesn't want it. You can save it and use it as a dowry later.

What can mom and dad do? Your eldest brother, sister-in-law, and your second brother are also working. Your third brother’s salary is still going to the family. Our family has everything. "

But Xu Ying refused: "Mom, you have to take this money. They go to work because they go to work. I can do nothing when I'm idle at home. Besides, I want to honor you and dad with this money. You have to take it."

Xu's mother was not happy with her daughter saying that she didn't work, but she heard her say that she was filial to her and the old man.

Xu's mother's heart almost melted. She glanced at her daughter and smiled: "Just pay fifty to me and your dad. I will save the remaining money for you. When you get married, mom will give it to you." dowry."

"Mom, I don't want to get married, I want to be by your and dad's side all the time."

Xu Muhu refused with a face: "This won't work. How can you not get married when you grow up? How long can your father and I stay with you? You will still have to find a man to accompany you in the future."

"You really don't like Dong Zhiqing anymore?"

The day before yesterday, she also heard from the eldest daughter-in-law of the third aunt's family that her daughter didn't like Dong Zhiqing anymore. She didn't believe it at the time, but these days she also heard from men that her daughter never saw Dong Zhiqing again.

Now she believed it a little bit.

The surrounding air quickly became cold, and Xu Ying shook her head: "I don't like it anymore. I now feel that Dong Zhiqing is just like a freeloader, unfaithful to others."

Damn, Xu's mother is about to applaud, the daughter's description is too correct, isn't Dong Zhiqing just like the little boy in the city who eats soft food!
"Yes, girl, that kid is a softie, very shameless."

"Well, mom, don't worry from now on. I won't be deceived by him again." Xu Ying's eyes were bright, and the haze in her heart dissipated.

Mother Xu's face was full of smiles: "Okay, Mom believes in you."

It was getting late, Xu Ying stood up from the bed, looked at Xu's mother and said, "Mom, kill all the pheasants at home. We can't keep them. Don't let them go for a few days before they lose weight."

When Xu's mother heard this, she immediately nodded in agreement. This pheasant only had a little meat, and it would not be worth it if it got any leaner.

"I'll kill the pheasant, and we'll make pheasant soup for dinner at night. I'll dry the rest, and we'll keep it and drink it later."

Xu Ying went out of the house with her, and Xu's mother went to kill pheasants. She ran to the vegetable garden and plucked two big radishes for stewing chicken soup.

There were four pheasants at home, and Mother Xu killed them all.

"Mom, let's stew two pheasants. One is too little and it's not enough to eat. You and Dad are both too thin and need to replenish themselves, as do my eldest brother and the others.
