Chapter 804: The Little Wife of Orion (14)

Ji Huai put the bamboo basket aside and took out the tools from it.

Digging ginseng must be very careful. If the roots are destroyed and the

ginseng dug out is incomplete, the price will be greatly reduced.

He squatted down, holding the ginseng leaf, carefully digging.

Halfway through the digging, his sweat ran down his forehead. The whiskers of

this ginseng were passed through the branches of the tree, and it was very

difficult to dig.

Wild ginseng grows slowly, and can't grow much for decades or hundreds of

years. The gradually exposed ginseng has good texture density and slender

roots. It seems that the age of this ginseng is not too short.

He chopped off the branches that passed through underneath, dug for a while,

and gently took out the ginseng.

He took out the linen cloth from the bamboo basket, carefully wrapped the

ginseng, put it in the bamboo basket, filled the hole just dug, and then

turned and walked out.

On the way back, he also stumbled upon a wild boar. If it were the past, he

would have rushed forward and took this big guy down, and the whole family

would be able to eat for a long time, and the remaining meat could be sold in

the town.

Today he was not thinking, slowed down, bypassed the wild boar, and walked

quickly down the mountain.

Three traps were set up when I went up the mountain. I went to see the first

and the second. There was nothing, but when the third was the time, I caught a

hare.

It's just that this hare is too small, and it's skinny.

But when I thought that Tang Xiu'er was also thin and didn't like to eat fatty

meat. If you’re skinny, let’s eat it. There is not much meat to eat, but the

bones are quite fragrant. She likes to gnaw bones.

Every time I sipped the meat, I looked satisfied. Just thinking about her

appearance, her footsteps are a lot lighter.

Picking up the hare, he walked to the stream.

Catching fish is his strong point. He tied the hare's feet and threw it aside,

then put the bamboo basket aside, dragged his shoes and went into the water,

holding a sharpened branch in his hand.

Lifting and stabbing, the hands are quick and the eyes are quick, the fish

can't escape at all, one, two, three, four or five

Ji Huai pulled the cane, stringed together the five fish he caught, carried it

in his hand, and carried the bamboo basket on his back, carrying the rabbit.

Look at the sky and walk quickly in the direction of the village.

Tang Xiu'er was at Aunt Niu's house at this time.

Aunt Niu used to have a very good relationship with Ji's mother. Both of them

were widowed earlier, became widows, and raised several children in one hand.

Aunt Niu is better than Ji Mu, because she is a matchmaker, simple and honest,

and has a good reputation from all over the world. He married a virtuous wife

to his two sons, and the family’s life was vivid and colorful.

She is plump and has a kind face.

Aunt Niu's house is often very lively, and people often come to drink tea in

the yard. If there is a boy in the family, I hope that Aunt Niu will lead the

way and ask for a daughter-in-law. If there is a daughter in the family, Aunt

Niu must also let Aunt Niu know and find a good person.

Everyone was drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard.

Tang Xiu'er talked few words, silently embroidered, listening to them talk

about their parents' shortcomings, telling jokes from time to time, she

usually doesn't answer the words, just responds with a chuckle.

Before marrying Ji Huai, she was half a maid of the Ji family. She could not

finish her work. She only came to Ji mother a few times and listened to them

chatting. Later, Ji’s mother was gone, and she married Ji Huai. Aunt Niu might

think that she was young and had a hard time with Ji Huai, so she often let

her sit down.

"I heard that Ji Huai's injury is healed? Go hunting again?" Aunt Zhang asked

her.

"The injury was healed, but I didn't go hunting." Tang Xiu'er replied.

Aunt Zhang drank a sip of tea: "Ji Dalang and his wife said last time that

they would not be good, but the doctor said that they would be lame. I thought

it was very serious, but now it seems to be quite good. Great, the two hunters

in Yangjia Village were killed by big insects."

Tang Xiu'er stopped and looked up at her, a little scared, but she also

grasped the key point, "The doctor didn't say anything."

"Who said nothing? You don't know. Your two sisters-in-law know about it. Who

in the village doesn't?" Aunt Zhang's mouth was broken, and she said in a

vivid way how Sister Ji went outside to say it.

Not only did Sister Ji talked about it, but Big Brother Ji also talked about

it. Speaking of Ji Huai, the four of them shook their heads and sighed.

"It's not that serious, it will be better soon. The medicine prescribed by the

doctor doesn't work after taking it. It hurts and itches, and it is very

expensive. After stopping the medicine, the recovery is good." Tang Xiu'er was

indignant, "They don't know anything. , It's all nonsense!"

This was the first time that she refuted Big Brother Ji and the others, and

her face flushed with rage, and she was extremely angry.

"Ouch." Aunt Niu looked at her anxiously, and couldn't help but said, "Why do

you think people are separated? Are you afraid that you will get hurt? Who

knows that Ji Huai is getting better again. But let me say, then The two are

really nothing, Ji Huai still has to go and hold it, so that you will suffer

along with it, and you can't figure it out. You are his daughter-in-law, still

pregnant with a child, and look at you thin."

Aunt Zhang also agreed and looked at her, "You are so thin, do you have milk

after giving birth? What do you eat? Ji Huai doesn't know how to make up for

you."

"It's made up, I've been drinking fish soup these days. I left the meat for

me." Tang Xiu'er defended him, adding another sentence, "I didn't give it to

the rest. He was afraid that I would not be enough."

"Oh, that's just a few sentences, look at you." Aunt Niu teased her.

The aunts sitting around also laughed. Tang Xiu'er buried her head, her ears

were red, and she was extremely shy.

Aunt Niu sat down again, "Ji Huai really won't give him his two brothers? Your

two sisters-in-law also agree? Then you can't make trouble?"

It's not a day or two that Ji Huai and Ji Mu are partial, so the two talents

of the Ji family dominate.

The sister-in-law Ji is hot on the surface, calculating, and the second

sister-in-law Ji is a boring gourd, but she has a lot of thoughts and is not a

fuel-efficient lamp. Only Tang Xiu'er is a soft persimmon and is at his

disposal.

Tang Xiu'er replied: "He said that he would leave it for me to eat."

During this time, all the good things in the house helped her.

"Are you ready?" Aunt Niu said so, in fact, I didn't believe it.

Aunt Zhang fanned her fan: "You don't know how uneasy those two families are.

Ji Huai's temperament will not change for a while. It doesn't matter what you

say, he has to do it. A man's mouth is a deceitful ghost, I'll lie to you, if

you don't take it seriously, then you can feel comfortable."

"If you are pregnant, do less work." Aunt Niu also agreed with what the other

party said. Looking at Tang Xiu'er's small body, she felt that she was still

doing chores for the Ji's family. Ji Huai’s people are also their daughter-in-

laws, don’t keep rushing to work."

Tang Xiu'er answered, "I'm out of work."

Ji Huai said that it was not good for the child, and that she had to make up

for it, so she wouldn't make trouble if she didn't work.

As soon as these words came out, everyone shook their heads.

Everyone knows what life Tang Xiuer had before. Now, in order to live a

comfortable life, I have coaxed myself.

Ji Huai helped his elder brother-in-law with something good, and ignored Tang

Xiu'er. She had been a maid all these years, doing all kinds of work. These

were all spoken by sister-in-law Ji, and Ji Huai couldn't wait to share it

with her two brother-in-laws every time she came back from hunting. There was

nothing Tang Xiuer had done.

Everyone felt that she lied to herself.

Tang Xiu'er ignored the thoughts of the others, she looked at the sun above

her head. Calculating the time, Ji Huai should be back, why not?

She inevitably worried, quickly put away the needle and thread, stood up and

said, "I'm going back, Ji Huai is about to come back, and I haven't cooked

yet."

"Stay a little longer, didn't Ji Huai say to come back and go back with you?"

Aunt Niu stopped her, "It should be back soon, not bad for a while. Just leave

it alone, you have to know a little bit in your heart, don't To be bullied,

learn to catch men."

Everyone thought they were talking about what was on her mind, so they didn't

say anything. Aunt Zhang instead taught her, "You can get everything if you

catch a man. Be smart. If you catch Ji Huai, he can take everything out? I'm

afraid you will be hungry."

These words made Tang Xiu'er slow down. She often hears new daughter-in-law

talking quietly, just talking about this.

How to catch a man? she does not know.

Those daughter-in-laws who have been married for many years talked about this

question:

"A man is just a tendon. It makes him comfortable, but doesn't he catch it?"

"Say two thoughtful words, think about him, don't be shy, be sweeter, and you

will be much more relaxed. Give him a chance to perform."

"At night, the couple closed the door and the lights went out. The young ones

should kiss more and act like a baby. What do you want?"
