Skillful Wife of Military - C35
Xu Hui narrowed her eyes slightly. This old woman only talked about money. Would she even know how to speak human words?
Xiao Da Yong’s expression did not change, he immediately opened the package and took out a silver ingot, passing it to Xiao Li’s disease: “These are the monthly salary and rewards, a total of five taels of silver. Pick up the milk.”
Xiao Li’s disease immediately received the silver taels. Normally, this would be worth a lot of silver taels, but when he thought about the thirty silver taels she posted, Xiao Li’s disease couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Da Yong’s bag.
Xiao Dayong was a little stunned, but Xu Hui smiled and said, “Third Aunt sure knows how to joke. Husband is going to war to fight, not to work in some good place. Could it be that Third Aunt thinks that Master has hidden some money in his private room? Or else, if you search through Master’s luggage, would it be that we have not even entered our own room before coming back to see Grandfather? ”
The He’s who was beaten by Xu Hui muttered in embarrassment: “I didn’t say that Da Yong had hidden some private money, why can’t I even ask?”
Xu Hui straightened her back and raised her chin slightly. She glanced at He’s and retracted her gaze. The atmosphere in the room turned into an even more awkward silence.
“Cough cough cough, Da Yong is also tired. Dazong’s daughter-in-law, bring Da Yong back to rest. Old granny, bring 10 jin of rice and 10 jin of white noodles to Da Yong, let Da Yong have some good nourishment!” Xiao Pao glared at He’s and said.
Xiao Li’s disease glanced at Xiao Pao and reluctantly agreed.
Xiao Dazong hurriedly thanked Xiao Pao and Xiao Li’s disease before bringing Xu Hui and Niu Niu back to his house.
Xu Hui asked Niu Niu to take Xiao Dayong into the house. She went to the kitchen to boil some hot water to heat up the brick bed.
Xiao Dazong lifted the curtain and stepped into the room. The warm and fragrant air sent shivers down his spine. A warm and comfortable feeling slowly spread out from within his heart.
Niu Niu saw Xiao Dayong standing there like an idiot. She looked at him strangely and pulled him, “Brother, sit on the brick bed. It’s warm on the brick bed!”
“Ah!” Xiao Dayong exclaimed in surprise as he looked down at Niuniu. “Sister, are you being tactful?”
Xiao Dazong scratched his head. He came back as if he was in a dream. He was even walking like he was floating, and his brain didn’t seem to be working well. As soon as he entered the village, he saw Niu Niu and a bunch of kids snatching a pig’s urine bubble, and he saw that they had gotten a lot fatter and paler, with big round eyes and a face like a New Year picture doll. His little sister was so energetic that she was almost scared to death, and if it wasn’t for Niu Niu who taking the initiative to pounce at him, he wouldn’t even dare to recognize her.
Not to mention that after not seeing his wife for such a long time, his wife was getting more and more good-looking. His little eyes twitched and he felt dizzy just by looking at her!
Thus, even now, Xiao Da Yong’s soul was floating in the air. He really didn’t remember Niuniu talking to him along the way.
Niu Niu looked at her silly brother and sighed helplessly like an adult. She stepped on her shoes and climbed onto the brick bed with all her strength. She patted the side of her body and said, “Brother, sit here.”
“Sigh!” Xiao Dazong quickly walked over and sat down. The hot brick bed made him exhale comfortably. He looked at the clean house and the plate of green items on the windowsill. He asked curiously, “What is that?”
“The garlic seedlings were grown by my sister-in-law. She said she would put some on when the weather got cold. Delicious!”
“Then, what is the pot on the ground for? “Why are there so many problems?”
“Sister-in-law’s bean sprouts. It’ll be delicious if you boil some meat underneath.”
“What is boiled meat?”
“Brother, why don’t you know anything?”
“Uh …” Xiao Dazong looked at his little sister who was looking at him with a look of disdain. For some reason, he shrank back from her gaze. Fine, he was despised as soon as he returned!
Niuniu crawled to the window, opened it, stretched her neck and looked outside. She took out a key from the corner of the brick bed and quickly opened the door of the brick bed cabinet. She took out a large box and handed it over to Xiao Dazong, “Brother, eat!”
Xiao Da Yong opened the box and saw snacks, melon seeds, candies, and some pickled plums. Niuniu took out a piece of dessert and placed it next to Xiao Da Yong’s mouth. “Big brother, eat this. This is called peach cake. It’s so sweet and tasty!”
Xiao Dayong opened his mouth in a daze and let Niuniu stuff the dessert into his mouth. Immediately, the sweet taste filled his taste buds. Xiao Dayong couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. Since when did his family have such a delicious dessert?
He turned his head to look at Niuniu, who was picking the box. She didn’t even have a big appetite for candy, so he slowly picked at the food. He knew she usually ate this kind of food. She wasn’t greedy, but her daughter-in-law took good care of her!
“Sigh!” Just when Xiao Da Yong reacted and lowered his head to put on his shoes, he only heard Niuniu’s loud and clear reply. She quickly pulled up a cotton shoe without a heel, ran to the door, and grabbed the curtain hanging on a hook. Xu Hui walked in with a bowl of steaming water.
Xiao Da Yong hurriedly took it. Xu Hui pointed at the cellar room and said to Xiao Da Yong, “Master, there’s a charcoal brazier inside that’s warmer than this room. Go inside and scrub it, you must be hungry, right? I made some pickled vegetables to stew the blood and sausages, and also some pancakes. Why don’t you have some first? ” He turned to Niuniu and said, “Get your brother a glass of water, some slippers and a sweater and some socks!”
“Then you go wash, I’ll go heat up the food.”
“Ah, oh!”
Xu Hui turned around and walked out, and said to Niu Niu, “Give your brother the stuff and let him wash it. Sweep over the brick bed and we’ll set up a table for him to eat in a while.”
Xu Hui went to heat up a meal. The blood sausage was given to him by Aunt Wei, and it tasted good when she stewed it together with the pickled vegetables that had just been opened. But when she thought about Xiao Dazong coming back and seeing the black and thin body, Xu Hui quickly took out some salted meat, cut some meat and red chilli, fried some chili meat on a plate, and made a pot of egg soup.
Inside the room, Niuniu saw her big brother look through the woolen pants with a silly look. She helplessly took it and shook it out one by one, saying to Xiao Dazong, “This is a woolen sweater. Nuo, put it over your head and put her arm around it. This pair of long legs is woolen pants, it’s like wearing pants. These are woolen socks. These are cotton slippers. They are comfortable to wear in the room!”
Xiao Dayong blinked as he listened. What was this? Why does it feel like I’m back from a trip for 250 years? Clothes from the head down?
Niuniu didn’t have the patience to explain anymore. She pushed Xiao Dazong and urged him, “Hurry up and go wash. You smell so bad!” If it wasn’t for her own brother, she wouldn’t even want to be next to him.
Xiao Da Yong smelt the hot water on his body and chuckled. He walked towards cellar room with hot water while Niu Niu followed behind him and gave him clothes, shoes and socks.
Xiao Da Yong kept the basin and looked at the cellar room who had changed greatly. He was extremely surprised.
Before he left, there was only the empty cellar room that added a lot of things. The loom was still in its previous position, beside a small table and chairs, and on the table were some papers and pens. On the side of the wall, there was a shelf with all kinds of yarn and loom parts, and beside the shelf, there was a long cabinet that was locked with a lock.
In each corner of the room was a small water jar, and on the windowsill was a similarly lush green garlic sprout. It seemed to be exceptionally lively.
Niuniu put the things away and pointed to the place where Xiao Dazong would put the pancakes and the towel. She told Xiao Dazong to wash up quickly before coming out to eat. She turned around and left, sweeping the kang and its table. Xu Hui adored Niuniu, but he did not spoil her. Normally, he would let her do whatever was within her capabilities. Niuniu was never lazy to begin with, but now she was even more hardworking and could help Xu Hui a lot.
After cleaning himself up, he put on the soft woolen pants and comfortable cotton socks and slippers, then put on the new cotton pants made by Xu Hui. Sitting on the warm brick bed, he ate chili fried meat, stewed blood sausages with pickled vegetables, chewed on a tortilla, and drank egg soup.
Xu Hui and Niu Niu found it funny, and Niu Niu asked Xiao Dazong, “Brother, what are you laughing at? It’s as though I picked up silver? ”
“Even after picking up the silver, you guys are still happy. I’ve come back alive. There’s also a hot brick bed and meat. I think it’s comparable to the owner’s house!”
“Landlord what? “You already gave your master the silver. Since we don’t have a single copper coin, how can we afford to pay a landowner?” Niu Niu pouted unhappily as she did not want Xiao Da Yong to give the money to Xiao Li’s disease and the rest.
Xu Hui was not happy that Xiao Dayong had given all his money to the Xiao Li’s disease, but it was already difficult for Xiao Dayong to come back alive from the battlefield. Everyone could slowly talk about money, so how could he talk about this without eating anything? Hearing Niuniu’s words, Xu Hui quickly pulled her up and said, “Let’s not talk about this, as long as your brother can come back, hurry and eat while it’s hot.”
Niuniu pouted and took a big bite out of the cake. Xiao Dayong looked at her and then looked at Xu Hui and smiled. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Hui, “Wifey, take this. It’s our New Year’s money!”
Xu Hui was stunned. She opened it and saw a silver note! When she looked at the sum, she saw that it was “50 taels of silver”!
Xu Hui opened her eyes wide and asked Xiao Da Yong: “What’s going on? “Where did you come from?”
“During this war, our vanguard camp made a great contribution, and was rewarded with 30 gold, and I killed a lot of barbarians. In total, we obtained 20 or so silver, and we gave grandpa a few silver, and for these, we asked the Commander Lin to exchange them for banknotes, and we gave them to you and Niu Niu.” At least he didn’t have to eat too much. He was able to buy jewelry for his wife!
Xu Hui was surprised and happy, while Niuniu was ecstatic. She threw herself at Xiao Da Yong and said, “Brother, are we rich?”
“I’m rich, I can buy flower clothes for Niuniu!”
“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, did you hear that?” Our family is rich! ”
Xu Hui was also very happy. She did not expect Xiao Da Yong to have such a scheming mind. She also knew to find someone to exchange the banknotes in advance so that they would not be afraid of being inspected by the Xiao Li’s disease and the rest. Now that they had won the war, the Guest House must have had a period of peace. Xiao Da Yong had this thought, their lives would be better in the future!
