farmer's wife

Chapter 12

Time passed and the sky was getting dark.

We ate too much at noon, and everyone said they were not very hungry.

Fu Yan simply made a clear vegetable noodle soup, put an egg fried on the outside and runny on the inside, poured some sesame oil into each bowl, served with side dishes pickled in winter, the two brothers Xiao Lie still ate clean.

A bowl of noodles in clear soup can be so delicious, and after eating it is full and warm, Xiao Lie is secretly happy again, this daughter-in-law is married to a treasure!I want to hold on to my daughter-in-law.

After eating, while the sky was still bright, Fu Yan packed up her things and asked Xiao Lie, who was still in dark music and couldn't find Bei, to cook medicine for Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian's body is getting better now, but his foundation is weak, the old doctor still let him take medicine for another year to take care of him slowly.Once in the evening of every five days, it can be changed to once in half a month after half a year.

Hearing that he was going to take medicine again, Xiao Jian pouted.The soup is very bitter, and it costs my brother a lot of money.He sat down a little on the small bench in front of the door.

Fu Yan was careful, saw Xiao Jian's dejected little back, quietly went back to the house and found a cloth bag, which contained some snacks that Nanny Li had stuffed for her before, in case she would be hungry on the way.It contains maltose, peanut sugar and preserved prunes.

Fu Yan came out with the sugar bag and squatted in front of Xiao Jian.

"What's wrong? Is Ah Jian unhappy?"

"Sister-in-law, how long will Ah Jian have to drink the medicine?"

"Ah Jian listened to the doctor and took care of her body early, so she didn't need to take medicine."

"Is Ah Jian afraid of the pain of the medicine?" Fu Yan patted his head.

"Ah Jian is an older child. An older child is not afraid of suffering! It costs a lot of money to buy medicine, and my brother has to go to the mountains to hunt prey for money. Uncle Chang Ming said that hunting is very difficult."

Precocious and sensible children are even more distressing.

"Brother earns money to take good care of Ah Jian first, and when Ah Jian recovers, will he ignore elder brother?"

"Ah Jian won't! Ah Jian has been with her brother all the time." Xiao Jian replied firmly, after thinking for a while, she added: "And my sister-in-law."

Fu Yan was amused by his serious appearance, and put the sugar bag into his little hand.

"Ah Jian is so brave and kind, my sister-in-law wants to reward Ah Jian. Here, open it and have a look."

Xiao Jian curiously picked up the sugar bag and opened it: "Wow! It's sugar! There's a lot of sugar!"

He opened his eyes wide, staring at the sugar with bright eyes, and smelled it carefully. The sugar smelled sweet, and just by smelling the smell, his heart was full of sweetness.

After smelling it, Xiao Jian returned the sugar bag to Fu Yan, "Thank you sister-in-law, I know that sugar is very expensive. The second monkey nephew of the village chief's uncle's family said that his milk will only be bought for him during the New Year. Eat candy, sister-in-law eats."

Fu Yan was a little sad, and she became more determined to lead everyone to live a good life, and eat as much sugar as she wants in the future!
"Sister-in-law, there are more. This bag of candy is to reward Ah Jian. After you drink the medicine, you can take another sweet mouth. But you can't eat more, you can only eat one a day, otherwise your teeth will be broken. "

Xiao Jian hesitated, glanced at his elder brother at the side, Xiao Lie nodded to him with a smile.He just accepted it.

"Thank you sister-in-law! I will definitely not eat too much." Then she held the sugar bag in her arms happily and sniffed it from time to time.

After Xiao Jian obediently drank the soup, Xiao Lie led him to wash in the kitchen, while Fu Yan washed in the bedroom.

After Xiao Lie finished pouring the water, tidied up and closed the door to enter the room, it was completely dark.

As the night rose, the village became quiet, with occasional dogs barking.

Fu Yan lit the oil lamp and waited quietly for him to come back.

Looking at the beauty under the light, the haze is even more beautiful.The peace of mind of someone waiting is even more intoxicating.

In the past two days, Xiao Lie felt the warmth of home many times, and was fortunate to be able to marry Fu Yan countless times.

He walked to a corner of the wall behind the bed and stepped on the floor. Fu Yan watched his movements curiously.

After Xiao Lie took out a brick, he took out a small clay pot from it, and poured all the coins and silver in it onto the table beside Fu Yan.

"There are a total of seven taels and 350 Wen here, all of which will be given to you, and you will take care of the household expenses. Ah Jian now needs to take six medicines every month and it costs one tael, and after half a year, two medicines will only cost more than 300 Wen per month. It takes eight taels a year."

"There's not much money, but don't worry. I'll go hunting in the mountains more often. I'll try to hunt more every month. If I can find big ones, I can sell them for a lot of money."

There was not much money, Xiao Lie was a little naive, worried that Fu Yan would worry about the difficult life in the future, so he hurriedly comforted her.

Fu Yan had heard about hunting, but it was not that easy.Larger living creatures can be sold for a lot of money, but hunters have to risk their lives to win.

Otherwise, everyone will go hunting, how can they farm with peace of mind.

Xiao Lie is good at archery, and his skills are better than ordinary people, but he is also an ordinary person, he will get injured.

Fu Yan shook her head, "These are enough for our daily life. Earn money slowly, don't worry. Don't venture into the mountains, safety first."

"We are a family now, and we have to work hard together. If something happens to you, it will be difficult for the two of us."

Fu Yan took the initiative to hold Xiao Lie's hand to comfort him, it's certainly good to be rich, but it's more important to have a well-organized family.What's more, she also has some ideas about her future livelihood, and she will try it.

The little daughter-in-law is so considerate, can she bear it?

Xiao Lie hugged Fu Yan horizontally, and walked towards the Babu bed.

Fu Yan was hugged suddenly, and in surprise, she quickly put her arms around his neck, "Wait! We haven't finished talking yet!"

"Daughter-in-law, you are in charge of all the money, and A-Jian and I are also in your charge. From now on, you have the final say on our family!"

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Lie thought for a while, the family is so big, there is really nothing to arrange.

Fu Yan fell on the soft quilt, supported Xiao Lie's chest, and asked him: "What about your parents? Can you tell me? Today A-Jian is at the side, so I don't want to mention them rashly."

Xiao Lie hugged Fu Yan tightly, and buried his head in her neck.

"It's nothing. My mother had a difficult labor when my younger brother was born, and my father has been in poor health since then. Three years ago, my father didn't survive the cold. After he left, the uncle and the aunt separated and kicked us out. Thanks to the village chief and Master for helping us."

Xiao Lie said it lightly, but three years ago he was only 17 years old, his life suddenly changed, and he had to support his two-year-old younger brother.

Fu Yan scratched his bun lovingly and comforted him silently.

The two lay quietly and hugged each other for a while, Fu Yan felt a big hand gently lift off her middle coat, caressing her smooth waist upwards.

Fu Yan pressed Xiao Lie's arm, and said softly, "My waist still hurts, it's all your fault! I have to climb the mountain tomorrow, if I can't walk too late, do you want me to be laughed at and rude when I go out? "

"Okay, okay, let's have a good rest tonight, don't be angry." Xiao Lie felt wronged, seeing that she was really uncomfortable, he didn't want to torment her anymore, and gently rubbed her waist.

When Fu Yan fell asleep, Xiao Lie could only get out of bed and take a cold shower...
