There were layers upon layers of mountains, but there was only a single road, but there were many forked paths.
Xiao Yiming led the way ahead. From time to time, he would turn his head and forget about Luo Manman, as if he was afraid that she would lose him.The trees were verdant, the fragrance of flowers a.s.saulted the nostrils, and the scenery was beautiful. It was early summer, and although the weather was not very hot, after walking for a while, they began to sweat profusely.
However, what made Luo Manman the most depressed was that, other than picking wild dates, wild fruits, and wild vegetables, she did not see any other precious plants. She would occasionally see a fat rabbit or two running past him, but unfortunately, she did not know how to hunt them.
Amidst the chaos in the wind... He raised his head and looked at the mountains in the distance. Perhaps, he might gain something from going further in the future.Xiao Yiming had also expected this outcome. When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he locked onto a big tree and said to Luo Manman: "Manman, be careful. Don't look for more.
She wasn't lying, but she was a bit unwilling to give up. If this path didn't work out, then she would have to think of another way.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Xiao Yiming continued: "My wife, wait for me to cut down a tree, we will go home early. I will make some wood products and we will sell them on the streets."That's the only way."
Xiao Yiming spit on his hand, then picked up the axe and started chopping at the bottom of the big tree, the axe digging in again and again, leaving a deep cut, the big hand pus.h.i.+ng down heavily afterwards.
A large tree fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust."Wife, let's go back."
"What a pity, I did not gain anything." Luo Manman chewed on a jujube, the sweet and sour taste wasn't bad."Sorry, daughter-in-law, I was useless and caused you to worry." Xiao Yiming glanced at Luo Manman's expression when she spoke, he understood what Luo Manman meant and tried to cheer him up: "Where are you talking about? You've been through so much, and you're so capable, how is it useless now?"
Xiao Yiming pursed his lips, his expression dark, Luo Manman immediately consoled him: "The difficulties are temporary, we have hands and feet, we have to work hard, our days will be better." She still wanted to say, "Does she still have a brain?" He just didn't show it yet."My wife, thank you for forgiving me like this. I just feel that I have implicated you."
"What's the big deal? A family doesn't have two words to say to each other. Alright, let's go back. We'll do the woodwork together."
When they got home, the sun was hanging high in the sky. The two of them walked back along the road, and not to mention some strange beasts and precious medicinal herbs, they didn't even see a shadow of a single thing. When they went down the mountain, they met even more villagers.When the two of them returned to the Xiao Family Courtyard, they saw the Xiao Niang drying clothes in the courtyard. He saw Xiao Yiming walking over with a huge tree, and adding the dirt on Luo Manman's body, he must have known that they went on a trip to the mountain and did not have any harvests.
Yi Ming, Manman, you're back. Mom cooked some steamed buns for you this morning. It's still warm at the moment.
Xiao Yiming nodded his head, then placed the big tree in the front yard and ate something with Luo Manman inside, then went to do some wood work.Xiao Yiming first cut this large tree into pieces, then skinned it cleanly with a few movements, then used a saw to saw each piece of the desired model.
Luo Manman took her small knife and said, "Let me help." She didn't know how to make these gadgets. She would grind the edges, she reckoned.
"Wife, stop …" Before Xiao Yiming could finish his sentence, he saw the back of Luo Manman's hand accidentally cut, and fresh blood immediately seeped into the surface, chi, she felt some pain, he did not expect the knife to be so sharp."Wifey, you're bleeding. Just sit here and watch. What kind of knife did the young lady use? Are you hurt now?"
Xiao Yiming's mouth was complaining, but he was already pained to the core. He immediately raised her little hands, blew on it, and took some gra.s.s and wood ashes to stop the bleeding.
"I'm fine." Luo Manman stuck out her tongue in embarra.s.sment. She had originally wanted to help, but now she was adding fuel to the fire.Seeing Xiao Yiming waving his blade around and busy herself on the wood, she fell into deep thought.
How could he get rich quickly?
Raising pigs and ducks seemed like a good way to earn money, but it would take time to get a fish pond or vegetable shed, but it would take too long.Besides, she was from the architectural faculty, so she wasn't very good at farming.
Or could she go to the provincial capital and see if she could gain some inspiration by not listening, or perhaps she could go to the provincial capital to work for a month and earn some money?
When Luo Manman thought of this, she once again rejected the idea. She didn't think that a top student like her would be worried about a few taels of silver.The Xiao family had been worrying about the money for the past few days. At this moment, the news came from the village. The village chief's daughter, Dujuan, had chosen a date for her marriage. She was to hold a banquet on the 8th of this month.
Over the past two days, the matter of the Village Head marrying his daughter had been on everyone's lips, just like Baidu's popular words.This girl, Dujuan, had a really good life. She married into the town's Qian family, which was said to be very rich. The Qian family was a business family, and their family couldn't spend even a few lifetimes worth of money.
This was so enviable, especially for the Auntie Qiu. It was envious, envious and jealous, as if it was envious to the point of being envious to the point of being envious.
Qiu Ju did not have much fields in her house, and did not have much farm work, so she did not need Qiu Ju's help. At this moment, she was holding a mud jar, pickling the vegetables that had been washed and cut.
At this time, he heard a creaking sound from the door. Auntie Qiu had returned, and as soon as he entered the house, his expression did not look good. He had just received a happy invitation from the village chief.
The daughter of the village chief was getting married. This was a very happy occasion, and she was going to marry into a merchant's family in the town. The Qian family was very rich, and the man was very generous.I heard the betrothal gift was rich? 100 taels of silver, 200 catties of food, 20 catties of pork, 10 cloths, in short, it was the wealthiest betrothal gift in the history of Nanshan Village, it did not startle anyone, the Auntie Qiu was envious, why did her daughter not have this kind of fortune?
The girls in the village who hadn't married yet all idolized the cuckoo, hoping to marry into such a rich family in the future.The Qian Family had decided to hold two banquets, one at the men's house, and one at the woman's side. They invited all the villagers in the village to have some more banquets.
When even the daughters of others could not compare to their own daughters, Auntie Qiu was a little angered. When she saw Qiu Ju scolding her non-stop, "All day long, you have been hiding in your house chopping pickled vegetables, there is no end to this major event of your life. You are no longer young, and you don't have to worry about yourself anymore."
Qiu Ju closed the lid of the jar, pouted and said indifferently, "In any case, with how big of a commotion you make, your reputation will be gone, it's fine if you don't marry anyone in your life, but just consider it being filial at home."The Auntie Qiu was furious, "I helped you seek justice, but you're the one who's wrong, stop being so displeased, how can a girl not get married? You're still thinking about Xiao Yiming, you're really p.i.s.sing me off, when can I grow a snack, learn more from Miss Du Kun, I'm just one year younger than you, how good would that be?"
"That's because they have a capable father." Qiu Ju muttered softly. If she couldn't get married, then she would get married.
"You only know how to talk back to your mother." Auntie Qiu's ears were still very sensitive. Even after hearing it, she did not forget to recount it again.
When the eighth day of the new year arrived, the village chief invited the entire village to his house for a wedding banquet. There were also several hundred people in the village.
Originally, the Xiao family did not want to go, but it was useless against the village head's enthusiasm. Xiao Niang was very clear in her heart, drinking wedding wine is fake and showing off is real, she still wanted to sew more flowers to earn some money, so she was not in the mood to join in on the fun.
"It's still clear. Go drink wedding wine with Manman, then Mother won't be going." Xiao Niang took out a red paper packet he had prepared beforehand. He reckoned that there was a small piece of silver inside, "This is a red packet for Village Head Home. Take it."When Xiao Yiming and Luo Manman came to Village Head Home, the scene could be described as a sea of people. The wide courtyard was already filled to the brim with people, and there were many village women talking about it.
"I'm so envious, it's just a Village Head Home, how can he have such a grand atmosphere?" A village woman said in envy.
"I'm so envious of the Village Head Home. My son married a village flower from another village, and his daughter married into a town. She really enjoys life." The villagers started whispering to each other, discussing amongst themselves.
"The same person doesn't have the same life. If you were to say that Lady cuckoo is really beautiful, then the most important thing is that I have my own conditions." A few of the Sanniang's six women were gathered together, discussing with a rhythm that could not be stopped.It was said that in a few days, at the beginning of the 12th day, the man would come to the village with eight large palanquins to escort the bride. Compared to the momentum behind the wedding, today's banquet was just a small matter.
Everyone entered the courtyard and took out their prepared red packets. The villagers who were close to them were better off with thicker packets, like Xiao Yiming.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yiming had some thoughts in his mind. It was too simple for him to get married, he didn't even give his wife a proper wedding, and he already … He swore that he would treat his wife even better.
"Thank you everyone, thank you for coming to enjoy the day, my fellow villagers. We'll have to eat and drink later …" The village chief was dressed spiritually today, his face flushed red from the contrast of his maroon robe.
The village chief had set up a table in front of the courtyard. On the table, there was a wooden box wrapped in red cloth. Naturally, this was the red bag box that was used to hold the villagers.
The cuckoo was dressed in festive attire to entertain the villagers. Today, her red dress was extremely dazzling. Coupled with her outstanding figure, her waist was even more slender like a willow branch.
There was a smile on his snow-white face as he said, "Everyone, thank you for giving the cuckoo some face and coming to drink your wedding wine. Today is my wedding day, so I'll let my fellow villagers eat and drink as they please."
