Chapter 222 Leaving Wu Family Village(1/2)
Chapter 222 Leaving Wujiacun
Nan Yan relied on force, unlike the first-time water carrier, who carried two buckets of water steadily and walked back.
Walking slowly on the road, Wu Xiaomei saw Nan Yan coming to carry water. She did not dare to look directly at Nan Yan and leaned to the roadside to let Nan Yan pass.
Maybe Wu Xiaomei didn't know that her turn around would last her whole life.
When Mrs. Wu was cooking at home, when she saw Nan Yan coming back with water, she said angrily: "Why don't you let the old man pick it? What are you going to do?"
Nan Yan picked up the wooden bucket with one hand, poured water into the vat and said, "I have nothing to do, so I will do what I can do."
Then he said: "Aunt Wu, which snow wolf I brought back yesterday, and the meat is there, please ask Aunt to deal with it."
Yesterday I went to town and told the villagers how to deal with meat.
Let them help her keep the snow wolf fur.
Unexpectedly, when she came back, not only the furs would be taken to Old Man Wu's house by the villagers.
Snow Wolf's entire physical body was sent over.
While the weather is not too hot, salt the meat and air-dry it quickly.
From now on, Hu Zi Gui Hua wants to eat meat, so she can eat some meat.
Mrs. Wu struggled and said, "Well, if you sell the meat in the town, you can get a lot of money."
Nan Yan carried the wooden bucket and continued to fetch water: "No, keep this meat for yourself. Auntie, listen to me and pickle it and dry it!"
Mrs. Wu looked at Nan Yan's back, the more she looked at her, the sadder she became.
She originally planned to live in their house with Mr. Xu lending money.
You can't take any advantage of Mr. Xu.
Unexpectedly, in the end, I took advantage of it a lot.
Nan Yan carried water back and forth five times before filling the water tank.
During the meal, Mrs. Wu took tiger osmanthus and osmanthus to eat in the kitchen as usual.
Nan Yan thought for a while, then went to the kitchen to call people to the main room to eat the meal together.
After dinner, Osmanthus fragrans is going to dig wild vegetables in the fields.
Nan Yan took out the mule and carried the two children to sit on the mule.
She led the mule and told jokes to the tiger and sweet-scented osmanthus, making the two children giggle.
This scene made the villagers feel very sad for the two children.
The villagers who received the benefits from Nan Yan saw Nan Yan and greeted him specially: "Mr. Xu, are you going to the fields?"
Nan Yan smiled back and said: "I have nothing to do at home, so I went to the fields with my two children."
The other gossip-loving women waited for Nan Yan and the others to go away and whispered to each other: "Hey, don't tell me that Mr. Xu brought the Hu Zi siblings out.
If the Huzi siblings were better dressed, some people would believe that Mr. Xu is the Huzi sister and their father."
"Yes, seeing the three of them talking and laughing, others didn't know it and thought they were father and son!"
"Who says it's not..."
Nan Yan and Gui Hua went to the place where they usually dig wild vegetables.
He bent over his waist and carried tiger pods and sweet-scented osmanthus to dig wild vegetables.
With the grown-up Nan Yan here, I dug wild vegetables quickly. In less than half an hour, I dug all the bamboo shoots I brought.
After digging the wild vegetables, Nan Yan took her siblings to play outside for a long time.
The three of them made their way back.
Nan Yan spent the day today with her two children.
In the evening, the village chief's house prepared dinner. Nan Yan went to the village chief's house to help out with the meal and came back to chat with Mr. Wu and his wife.
After reading two stories for the two children, I went to my room to sleep.
That night, Nan Yan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Finally, just go to the space and work hard all night.
The next day I went to take a bath in the spiritual spring water and felt better.
She left today and did not plan to come back with the village chief and his family.
After a few days in the village, she clearly felt that Old Man Wu and Mrs. Wu were becoming more and more dependent on her.
I speak much more casually than in the first two days.
She is a heartless person.
She did not want Mr. and Mrs. Wu to transfer their thoughts about their son to her.
The feelings between people only become stronger and stronger with the passage of time.
She was afraid that she would stay in Wujiacun longer.
Her relationship with the Wu family is getting better and better, which will be detrimental to her future affairs.
While her mind is clear, some feelings should be broken off.
This is good for you and me.
Nan Yan glanced around the room with a complicated heart.
What catches the eye is a quilt full of patches and a shabby wooden box with a sense of age for storing clothes.
And the wall made of mud.
Nan Yan sighed quietly, took out twenty taels of silver, and took out pen and ink from the space to write down.
Let the two old men take a few taels of silver and ask someone to build a new house. Not to mention the blue brick house, at least repair the tattered mud walls.
Also, it would be better to replace the thatch on the roof with tiles.
Living like this will make the house brighter.
In addition, the remaining money was kept by the two old men for emergencies.
Nan Yan sighed after arranging the use of the money.
According to her financial strength, she can definitely leave a large sum of money to Old Man Wu.
Let the two old men be treated kindly.
You don’t have to go to the fields to do farm work every day at such an old age.
It can also give tiger seeds and sweet-scented osmanthus a better environment to grow.
Then I thought about it, the Wu family is an out-and-out peasant family.
Giving too much money is not necessarily a good thing.
Hu Zi is still a child, judging from how pampered Mr. Wu and his wife are.
With money, Old Man Wu will definitely satisfy Hu Zi in everything.
Mr. Wu and his wife are now in their sixties, and they still have a few more years to spend with Huzi and his brother.
What if the tiger child is raised to be a child who "reaches out his hands when he is clothed and opens his mouth when he is fed"?
When the old couple leaves in the future... it will be over.
After thinking about it, he gave Old Man Wu twenty taels to modify the house.
By the way, I went to buy two to three acres of high-quality grain fields and cultivated them.
In this way, even if the old couple suddenly left that day, the Huzi siblings would still have a house and grain fields to rely on.
Not afraid of starving to death or living under someone else's roof.
Finally, with a heavy heart, I put the pen and ink into the space. After the paper was dry, I put the paper and money under the pillow.
Walked out of the room and chatted with Old Man Wu as if nothing had happened.
Until the village chief came over to ask him to have breakfast, Old Wu said uneasily: "Remember to be careful when going to the county. When things are done, come back with the village chief."
Nan Yan replied without showing that she would not come back: "I know, uncle, there is a lot of dew in the morning, you should go back to the house quickly!"
Old man Wu didn't listen to Nan Yan and went back immediately.
Standing at the door and watching, Nan Yan and the others were completely out of sight.
Then he turned around and went back.
When Nan Yan left, Mrs. Wu felt lost and said, "She's gone."
Old man Wu sat listlessly on the threshold, looking at the sky and saying: "Let's go to the village chief's house for breakfast first, and then set off for the county."
"Oh, you can tell Mr. Xu to wear more clothes to keep warm when you are on your way in the morning." Mrs. Wu said while busying with the pot.
"I've said it, I've said it." Old Man Wu said again: "Okay, Mr. Xu is not a fool. You, hurry up and make breakfast. After you finish eating, go to work in the fields."
To be continued...
