Chapter Twelve: Wu Nian is famous for his shopping
What came out was Liu Xiang, he was clearly a fat little guy with a tough head and tough brains.
"Uncle Wu, are you back?" Hu'er poked his big head out, saw Wu Nianhou beaming, then clapped his hands and ran away.
"You're back. I don't have to accompany Sister Xiang'er anymore. Although Sister Xiang'er is very pitiful, it's boring to be with her. I'm going home."
Wu Nian was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
"You little melon, don't run so fast. Take this deer leg with you. Thank you and your mother for taking care of my wife."
Wu Nian hurriedly took out another deer leg from the bamboo basket and stuffed it to Hu'er. Finally, Hu'er left drooling, what a piece of meat.
This is hard to eat.
Wu Nian's mood was greatly relieved by being interrupted by the melon boy. He closed the door first, then carried the bamboo basket to the main room, put the bamboo basket down first, and then entered the west room, which is Liu Xiang's bedroom.
Liu Xiang was lying on the bed, her little face was still so thin that it made people feel distressed. Wu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, this girl was awake and looking at him steadily with her big eyes.
It's like looking at a monster.
Maybe in her eyes, I am a monster.
A rotten gambler and a rotten drunkard risked his life to save her.
After Liu Xiang looked at Wu Nian for a while, he turned sideways and gave Wu Nian a slap on the back of his head.
Wu Nian was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed what Liu Xiang was thinking. He was not angry, and said cheerfully: "Xiang'er. As promised, I hunted a sika deer in the mountains, weighing more than a hundred kilograms."
"I gave some to Sister Chen and Hu'er's family. It's Hu'er who has been taking care of you these days. We know that we can repay the favor."
"I'll cut it in half and keep it later. It's cold here and the meat won't go bad easily. Let's eat it slowly and finish it all. Don't marinate it."
"I'll sell the remaining half to Butcher Zhang and get back a few hundred pennies. I'll buy some rice and a piece of cloth to make new clothes for you and me. Life will get better."
"By the way, there is also this deerskin. You are weak, so I will make it into a blanket. If you are cold, you can cover it."
Wu Nian kept talking to Liu Xiang about common things, but Liu Xiang didn't respond. He didn't care either, and finally left the bedroom, cut half of the venison, and went to Butcher Zhang's home.
After Wu Nian left, Liu Xiang turned sideways and stared blankly at the empty room. Then she took a breath, and sure enough she smelled the aroma of meat.
"Mom and Dad, am I dreaming? Or are you a ghost? This bad gambler not only saved me, but also really kept his promise?"
Liu Xiang's eyes quickly turned red, tears began to well up, and her nose felt itchy and sour.
In her heart, she actually still cared about Wu Nian. Otherwise, a bag of arsenic would be the end of the road. But she didn't.
She couldn't bear it anymore and had no choice but to die by herself.
She thought she could see her parents again, but she didn't know that they actually came back to life. After asking carefully, it turned out that it was Wu Nian who saved her.
She cried at that time. But slowly, old and new hatreds came to her heart. During these days, she has been thinking about this issue.
Is this rotten drunkard really repentant? Or is he just having a brain convulsion?
He really wanted to save me and live a good life.
Or do you want to save me and continue to beat me? scold me?
Domestic violence has been going on for many years, and Liu Xiang's heart is full of suspicion towards Wu Nian. But now seeing Wu Nian saying so many words, he really hunted back a deer.
Although she was moved, she still couldn't let go of her doubts.
"As the old saying goes, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. I'll keep an eye on it." After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xiang fell into a deep sleep.
The doctor said that it was a miracle that she could wake up. Her body is still weak and it would be good to sleep more every day.
Wu Nian didn't know what his wife was thinking, so he came to Butcher Zhang's house with a bamboo basket on his back.
In fact, Butcher Zhang was also a military householder, but he was good at slaughtering, so he was called Butcher Zhang.
In the days after Liu Xiang's accident, Wu Nian had come to Zhang Butcher's house several times to buy meat, and they were quite familiar with each other.
"Where did you get such a big piece of venison?" Butcher Zhang looked at the venison Wu Nian took out of the bamboo basket, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.
Professional hunters go to the mountains to hunt, but they cannot always hunt such large prey. Most of the time they are small prey such as pheasants and hares.
"I hunted it myself." Wu Nian said calmly, and then urged: "You weighed me, and I'm still waiting to get the money."
Butcher Zhang looked at Wu Nian and was doubtful. How could this kid be so capable? But in the end he didn't think much about it. There was no other explanation other than that he was hunting.
Rob?
Wu Nian is even less capable of this.
cheat?
Who among hundreds of households believes in Wu Nian?
It's really possible that they were hunted. Darling. This is the second time. This is the God of Wealth. Thinking of this, Butcher Zhang became very enthusiastic about Wu Nian. After weighing the scale, he said boldly: "The total is forty-nine pounds and eighty."
Two. I'll give you a round number, fifty catties."
"Now in winter, there are many hunters going into the mountains to hunt, and the price of meat is cheap. I'll give you eight cents a pound, what do you think?" Butcher Zhang narrowed his eyes and said a little treacherously.
"I'll sell it to you for ten cents a pound. If it doesn't work, I'll take the meat to Butcher Li's house. If it doesn't work, I'll eat it myself."
Wu Nian is also shrewd and has a bad temper.
"No, no, no. Ten cents, just ten cents." Butcher Zhang was a little panicked and quickly said with a smile.
As a result, Wu Nian got five hundred coins from Butcher Zhang. Wu Nian weighed the copper coins in his hand and felt confident.
Buy buy buy buy.
The clothes were made from a piece of cloth.
I bought a hundred pounds of rice for two cents a pound. From now on, I won’t eat any rice bran rice, but rice.
Half a kilogram of lotus seeds to replenish Liu Xiang's health.
This stuff is extremely expensive, costing fifty cents per catty. It’s more expensive than meat. But Wu Nian was willing to give it up.
By the way, Wu Nian went to Baihu's house and told the adults of Baihu that there were Siberian tigers nearby.
We all belong to the same village and are fellow villagers.
Wu Nian didn't want them to be snatched away by a tiger.
How big is this 100-household office?
The population is about two to three thousand. It is just a larger village or a smaller town. Wu Nian sold meat and bought meat.
The news spread quickly.
That rotten gambler and rotten drunkard Wu Nian actually hunted a sika deer weighing hundreds of kilograms and came back. The one with the special number also ate lotus seeds?
That half a kilogram of lotus seeds can be exchanged for more than ten kilograms of rice.
The adults from hundreds of households in our household may not even buy lotus seeds to eat. This guy is more willing to spend money than the adults from each household.
Of course, there are also people who are jealous and scold Wu Nian behind his back.
"This bad man doesn't know how to be diligent and thrifty. He just got lucky and came back from hunting a sika deer. Do you really think he can be so lucky every time? Every time he goes into the mountains, he hunts a sika deer?"
"That's right. I only have time to go into the mountains in winter. How many times can I go into the mountains in a year? If I go hunting and don't save money, I will spend too much money and ruin it. It won't last long."
"Yes. There is nothing to envy."
In any case, Wu Nian became famous for his shopping in Baihu.
