Chapter 24

After noon, the weather got a little hotter, so Xu Xiaofu and Wang took out the pancakes they brought in the morning and ate them. Although they were cold, they tasted good.After eating the pancakes, the two of them were thirsty. Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Xiaofu, I'm a little thirsty. There is a water source in the backyard of this temple. I'll find some water to drink."

Xu Xiaofu was also a little thirsty, "Mom, let me go with you."

Wang nodded, and the two packed up their things and walked towards the backyard of the temple.There is a woods behind the temple, beside the woods is a meandering stream, the water is crystal clear, and you can see small fish and shrimps swimming in it.Wang Shi and Xu Xiaofu knelt down and took several handfuls of stream water and drank them.

After drinking enough, Wang Shi felt some abdominal pain, frowning tightly, covering his stomach, Wang said: "Xiaofu, you wait here for me, I'll go to the latrine."

Xu Xiaofu waved his hand, "Mom, hurry up and go."

Wang Shi went towards the hut in the woods, Xu Xiaofu was a little bored, and looked around.This creek is in the backyard of the temple, not far from the creek is the back door of the temple, looking at the half-covered back door, Xu Xiaofu thought for a while and then walked over, gently pushed the small wooden door, unexpectedly It was pushed away at once.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go in, Xu Xiaofu suddenly heard a delicate voice, "Auntie, auntie, what's wrong with you. Cousin, cousin, come and help me."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaofu hurriedly looked inside, and saw the delicate beauty inside was struggling to support a woman, but finally failed to support the plump woman, the two fell to the ground together, and then The black shadow flew over there, and it turned out to be General Xie who had met just now.

Xu Xiaofu hesitated for a while, and finally walked in, came to the side of those people, Xu Xiaofu saw the pale woman lying on the ground, leaning feebly on General Xie's arms, Xu Xiaofu glanced twice, Chong Chen coquettishly said: "Madam didn't eat breakfast this morning?"

Hearing this soft voice, everyone turned their heads and looked over. Shen Jiaomei raised her eyes and saw Xu Xiaofu. She wiped away the tears hanging from her cheeks, and cried tenderly, "You little sister-in-law, what are you doing here? What's wrong with my aunt, woo woo woo, cousin, what to do, what to do."

Xie Duanyu had a headache from her quarrel, and he said two words from his mouth tightly, "Shut up."

Xu Xiaofu didn't care about the crying pear blossom and rainy Shen Jiaomei, and asked again: "Madam didn't eat breakfast this morning?"

Xie Duanyu glanced at Shen Jiaomei, and Shen Jiaomei nodded aggrievedly, "My aunt was worried about my cousin all morning, so she didn't eat breakfast. I persuaded my aunt, and she said she had no appetite..."

Xu Xiaofu understood, and said to the flustered little monk behind him: "Little master, please bring me a bowl of sugar water."

The little monk hesitated for a while, but ran to drink the sugar water swiftly.Soon the sugar water was brought over, Xu Xiaofu handed the sugar water to Shen Jiaomei, "Girl, feed the sugar water to your aunt and she will feel better."

It's just a normal hypoglycemia, and it's easy to faint if you don't eat breakfast.

Shen Jiaomei hurriedly took the sugar water, lifted the corner of her skirt, and carefully squatted down to feed the woman a drink of sugar water.After drinking the sugar water, the woman's complexion looked much better, and she woke up slowly, Xu Xiaofu said: "Madam wakes up, just let her eat something, remember to have breakfast in the future."

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Wang's voice calling her came from outside, Xu Xiaofu hurriedly nodded to the others and said, "I won't bother you, little lady will leave now." After finishing speaking, he ran towards the back door.

After going out the back door, he saw Mrs. Wang standing in the stream and looked for her everywhere. Xiao Fu hurriedly called out, "Mother, I'm here."

Seeing Xu Xiaofu coming out of the backyard of the temple, Mrs. Wang was startled, and when Xu Xiaofu walked in, she said: "You child, why did you run in there? Did you disturb others? It's really strange, you usually go to the backyard of the temple. The small door is also locked, why is it not locked today?"

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "Probably I forgot, well, mother, let's go back quickly, Zui Xianju has ordered dozens of catties of dried meat with us, we have to go back quickly."

The two of them walked back along the mountain road.

When passing by the market, Xu Xiaofu bought two candied haws for Lotus, the little guy said he wanted to share it with the girl next door, and asked Xu Xiaofu to buy two.Xu Xiaofu was very pleased that Hehua finally had a good friend of his own.

After returning home, she gave the candied haws to the little guy, and the little girl immediately went out with two candied haws.

What happened in the temple was quickly forgotten by Xu Xiaofu, he was busy making money, and the amount of dried meat consumed by Zuixianju was getting bigger and bigger every day, fortunately, everyone at home could help.There are pork jerky, rabbit jerky, pheasant jerky, and roe deer jerky. Fortunately, they all taste good.

Originally, the wild rabbit that Xu Qingshan returned from hunting was still going to be raised, but Xu Xiaofu later found out that it was not easy to raise the rabbit, and died within a few days, so he peeled the rabbit skin, made the rabbit meat into jerky, Save time to sew a rabbit fur coat.In the past two months, I have saved a lot of rabbit skins, enough to sew a few coats.

After making the jerky, Xu Xiaofu sewed a rabbit fur coat when he had nothing to do. Most of the fur of wild rabbits is gray, black and white.Xu Xiaofu separated the colors and made a few coats, two gray ones, one white one and one black one. She didn't plan to sell these coats. It's too cold in winter. The rabbit fur is very warm and can be given to the family. Put on.

Another month later, Xu Xiaofu sewed another variegated color and a small white one, just one for each member of the family.

It's already June now, there are wild vegetables in the mountains, prey in the mountains, and fish to catch in the lakes, plus the imperial court opened warehouses to release grain to relieve the residents, it's not as hard as it was a few months ago, and the number of people died of starvation is decreasing.

This day, Xu Xiaofu made a few days of dried meat, let Xu Qingshan carry it, and walked behind him to Zuixianju. The tall Xu Qingshan said: "Second brother, we have almost saved hundreds of taels of silver in the past few months. Second brother, which family's daughter do you like? Find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage."

Xu Qingshan turned his head, with a hint of blush on his dark and mellow face, "Sanmei, stop talking nonsense."

Xu Xiaofu said: "Second brother, what are you talking about, you are not too young, our family has money, marrying a daughter-in-law, and giving birth to a white and chubby son for your mother, your parents must be very happy."

"Where can a girl like me be willing to look at me?" Xu Qingshan's voice was a little silent.

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "Second brother, what do you think of Aunt Zhang's daughter Xiaolan?" How hard it is, the family is very poor, so Zhao Xiaolan is now eighteen and no one has come to propose marriage.

The eldest girl is indeed a bit older, but for Xu Qingshan, who is not young, she just matched. The most important thing is that Zhao Xiaolan has a good temper, gentle and virtuous, and although Aunt Zhang is in poor health, she is not a troublemaker.

Xu Qingshan's face turned red, "It's not up to us to decide what our parents ordered and the matchmaker said, well, Xiaofu, let's go quickly, shopkeeper Meng is still waiting for us."

Xi Xiaofu covered his mouth and snickered, it seems that the second brother probably likes Xiaolan quite a lot.In fact, Xiaofu didn't intend to get involved in this matter at first, but a few days ago, he saw his second brother helping Xiaolan carry heavy things back home, Xiaolan's face was red, obviously his second brother was not ruled out.My second elder brother is also a stunned young man, it seems that he also likes Zhao Xiaolan, otherwise he wouldn't help her.

Thinking about telling his mother about it when he got home, Xu Xiaofu couldn't help but chuckled softly in his heart.Just as he was following Xu Qingshan with a smile on his face, Xu Xiaofu saw a group of people pointing and pointing not far away, and vaguely heard something, "Whose daughter-in-law is this, she has such a big belly and she still needs to come out to buy something. Something, isn’t it, has it been knocked?”

"No, girl, are you okay? Where does your family live?"

There was also a woman's voice crying for pain.

Xu Xiaofu was curious, and pulled Xu Qingshan to surround the crowd.
