Wang Xiaoliu stammered for a long time before saying: "No, no, madam, you don't need to pay me..."
In fact, after Mei Niang calmed down, he got angry at his mother. He endured her mother's scolding and started to cut the bacon hanging on the beam that he had been reluctant to eat for several years, as well as the eggs that his mother had saved for nearly half a month.
, hurriedly came to the door.
Think of it as a thank you gift for delivering the baby.
In fact, you have to pay money to deliver a baby, but damn...
His mother refused to pay, and she rolled around and said: "Oh my God! What evil have I done! I gave birth to such a beast like you! This is going to empty our coffin..."
His father was also taciturn, so he obviously accepted what Mrs. Wang said.
He had no choice but to go to his house and help the benefactor in person, which was considered as offsetting the money from the benefactor.
According to Mei Niang, as a human being, you must repay kindness.
Wang Xiaoliu lowered his head in shame, "I, our family is in a special situation. I really can't afford to give you money, so I can only sell my strength to repay the old lady's kindness."
Tang Zangyue stared at Wang Xiaoliu's hair, pondered for a moment, and said: "You have also seen that we are going to the town to do business. Although my sister and I are your elders, the people who go to the town are all women. If I
The reputation of the Xiao family is not good for you and our Xiao family. If you really want to help, just help our two brothers repair the backyard. In the village, you don’t have to go to town. You don’t care what happens to your own family.
superior.
Not to mention repaying the kindness, since I have settled in Jiuli Village, what I said to the village chief at the beginning is true. The money for medical treatment and medicine is enough. The eggs and bacon you gave me are enough to cover the medicine.
If you really feel sorry for yourself and want to help, I won't stop you, but my family is only responsible for providing you with meals, and I really can't give you more."
I didn’t mention a few meals, but it still depends on the performance of the farmer.
Seeing that the other party still had something to say, Tang Zangyue raised her hand and said: "Our Xiao family has just arrived, and I was the one who said before that the village suspected that my medical skills were normal. You and your wife can trust me, and it is to prove my ability.
Killing two birds with one stone, you don’t have to feel ashamed.”
On the last day of the Hun merchant's stay in the town, Tang Zangyue handed over the stall to Aunt Liu and Xiao Yuenong to guard it. It happened that a foreigner came to help at home, so Xiao Yuechun was transferred to the town by her to take her place and maintain the security of the stall.
Someone is looking for trouble.
The remaining lambs are really old, weak, sick, and disabled.
Tang Zangyue selected for a long time before selecting a 60-kilogram ewe that was a little sick and whose weight dropped out of the normal range. The transaction price was supposed to be 4,800 ren, but she was charged 300 ren less and advised her: "You can
You have to take a closer look. This sheep is very sick and may not live long..."
Seeing that the other party kindly reminded her, Tang Zangyue softened her eyebrows and said: "It's okay, I know the medical skills myself. When I get back, I'll help it heal, which will save me three hundred coins. Thank you boss for your kindness."
The other party waved his hand and said, "If you can really save it, it's considered your ability."
When Tang Zangyue came back with the sick ewe, Xiao Yuechun frowned and said, "Old madam, why did you buy such a poor-quality sheep?"
"It can be saved. Just keep an eye on it. I'll go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine and cook it when I get back to the village."
Xiao Yuechun: "Don't worry, old lady, I'll watch it."
No one asked how much money this sheep cost, after all, the old lady had already paid for it through her family's financial resources.
Tang Zangyue did not get a prescription, but only ordered a few medicines. The medicine boy who ordered the medicines looked at her several times.
Tang Zangyue: "I know some medical skills myself, and I take medicine myself for minor problems. It's convenient for me to trouble you."
The medicine boy then filled the medicine according to her instructions.
Finally, he took several large packages of medicine and turned around to leave.
After selling kimchi, we returned to Jiuli Village early, and Aunt Liu was in charge of cooking.
Wang Xiaoliu hesitated in the main room and didn't know how to sit down. He smelled the aroma of meat coming from the kitchen, his face changed slightly, and he quickly found an excuse to leave, "Well, I suddenly remembered that there are other things at home. Today
If you disturb the old lady, please go back first..."
"Brother Lu, Brother Li, stop him."
Tang Zangyue didn't even raise his head and said, "Yuechun, go to the kitchen to help."
"Eh--"
Others also made excuses and went to the kitchen to help, leaving Zusun San and Wang Xiaoliu to confront each other.
Tang Zangyue looked at this obviously cramped farmer, "Why, do you dislike our Xiao family's food?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that..."
"That's because I don't want to cause trouble to our Xiao family." Tang Zangyue's eyes fell on Xiao Zhongli, "Brother Li, tell me, this guy... hasn't asked you your name this morning?"
other people:"……"
Wang Xiaoliu: "My surname is Wang, I am the sixth eldest child in my family, and my nickname is Wang Xiaoliu."
"Oh, Wang Xiaoliu. Brother Li, tell me how Wang Xiaoliu behaved this morning."
Xiao Zhongli pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Xiao Liu is not as strong as the elder brother, but he has a lot of skill and energy. He also taught us how to use our strength, which really saved us a lot of energy."
In fact, Xiao Zhongli had noticed this early on. It was just that the eldest brother was adhering to the habits left behind by practicing martial arts and relying on his reckless energy. He could not change it. The reason why he said this now was because his grandmother looked at him and told him to sing.
He had no choice but to cooperate and try to find Wang Xiaoliu's advantages.
However, Wang Xiaoliu's appearance did speed up the progress.
"In this case, Wang Xiaoliu, you are the one who can eat this bowl of rice. Otherwise... if you don't take care of the fields at home, and you come to my place to help, your parents won't blame you? The other brothers won't have any objections.
?You can have a bite to eat when you go back? You are loyal, so our Xiao family can't just use up people and ignore everything, right?
Besides, it’s just a meal of meat and vegetables. We, the Xiao family, eat meat during this period just to save some oil and water in the belly of our family so that we can have the strength to work. One more bite for you is not a lot, and one bite for you is not a lot."
Wang Xiaoliu finally stayed.
But he really didn't expect that Xiao's restaurant would be so good...
Stir-fried cabbage with bacon, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and cooked a large pot of winter melon soup.
Wang Xiaoliu didn't dare to put down his chopsticks, but Xiao Zhongli couldn't stand it anymore, so he took his bowl and chopsticks, picked up half a bowl of vegetables for him, and three multi-grain steamed buns as big as his fist, and then started to eat on his own.
Wang Xiaoliu buried his head shyly, looked up secretly, and found that the Xiao family ate very slowly, unlike the Wang family who competed for food...
No, not only the Wang family, but the entire Jiuli Village, and even the villagers within a ten-mile radius eat very quickly, for fear that if they are too late, they will not have their share at the table.
He could see that this Xiao family was definitely not a creature in the pond.
Wang Xiaoliu kept a multi-grain steamed bun and wanted to save some meat and vegetables, but he didn't have bowls and chopsticks, and he was worried that the Xiao family would look down on him because of it.
So after eating, he hurriedly explained to Tang Zangyue about his behavior: "Mei Niang is still waiting for me at home. Old madam, can I save some from my own meal next time and send it back to Mei Niang?"
Tang Zangyue nodded: "Yes, you can, but I don't want you to starve yourself. After all, you need to work hard. If you don't have enough to eat, you will easily lose your energy and affect the speed of repairing the backyard."
