Farmer's Favorite

With money, building a house and buying land are things that everyone agrees with and even anyone would do. However, spending money to change their name has made many people puzzled, even if it costs a few pennies. If you are willing, not to mention the person who handles the household registration, at least half a tael of silver is indispensable.

In this way, in the eyes of everyone, this money is completely wasted.

But within a while, everyone in the village knew that Zhuang Erleng was a lavish master, and he was willing to spend money to change his name.

What changed?

It was changed to... Zhuang Xinyan.

"A fool is a fool. To spend this money is worse than throwing money into the water, and you can still hear the sound." Old man Lin snorted, his heart ached, as if he was spending his own money.

"Why throw it into the water, why not buy a jug of wine if you give it to me." The big man next to him chuckled, with an indescribably beautiful expression.

"You're an idiot, why should someone give it to you for no reason." Wang rolled her eyes at her man, and was accustomed to the whims of the father and son.

"Zhuang... Zhuang Xinyan saved my father, so you should say a few words. If it wasn't for him, you might not be able to come back today." Lin Qi frowned to show dissatisfaction with his family's words. He said again: "I will prepare some gifts later, and I will send them to my elder brother tomorrow."

"I won't go!" Lin Li refused without even thinking about it. He shrank his neck and said, "Zhuang Er lives on the mountain in a daze. Who knows if I will meet a big bug when I go."

"Since you can save dad, let him go." Wang said hastily, resentfully, she was not willing to let her man have an accident.

"Well, you poisonous woman, you are trying to force your father to death!" Lin Li immediately became dissatisfied. Although her own son also hurt her, but the daughter-in-law's words were a bit harsh.

'Clap' sound.

The slender fingers with well-defined knuckles patted the dining table. The sound was not loud, but it made the people sitting there tremble. Even Lin Douzi, who was only three years old, buried his head in the bowl and did not dare to make a sound.

"It's Zhuang Xinyan. Since he has changed his name, don't call him dumb." Lin Qi said coolly, and then said to the disfigured members of the family: "Tomorrow the village chief will meet with you." Arrange some people to patrol the mountain, elder brother must go, mother prepares some small gifts for elder brother to bring when he goes up the mountain tomorrow."

The two people who were named nodded like quails, afraid that a son/brother who was not easy to mess with would get angry, but they couldn't bear Lin Qi's anger.

And the rest of the people obediently held their bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat softly, the scene was very harmonious.

……

The next day.

The breeze from the mountains blew through, and the fragrance of flowers overflowed, and Zhuang Xinyan woke up from such a refreshing fragrance.

After freshening up, he went out of the fence house, chopped a few thinner branches with a somewhat blunt kitchen knife, and began to grind them.

When Lin Baocheng came with a group of people, what he saw was the almost finished wooden bow in Zhuang Xinyan's hands.

Who doesn't like bows and arrows, especially those who go hunting in the mountains for a living, no matter what kind of weapon they are, they can have one in their hands, maybe they can save their lives for a certain period of time. Ah, this bow is pretty good, but the bow string is probably hard to find."

As he said, anyone who knows some woodwork can make a semi-finished bow, but this bowstring has given many people a break, even if they are not willing to spend money on cheap strings unless they are absolutely necessary.

How could Zhuang Xinyan not know this, firstly, it's really nothing that can be solved with money, and secondly, he has already planned it.

Holding a thin stick in his hand, he picked out a treated yellow tendon from the basket.

When everyone looked at it, although they couldn't see what kind of tendons it was, they could still see that it was extraordinary.

One of the older men suddenly opened his eyes wide, he stuttered and said, "But tiger tendons?"

Zhuang Xinyan smiled lightly, regardless of the shocked looks of the others, he nodded: "Exactly, I was thinking about making a bow and arrow earlier, so I pulled out the tiger's tendons."

Everyone was speechless, but it was really a big deal.

Zhuang Xinyan quickened his hands and said, "Please wait for me a little longer, everyone."

Lin Baocheng answered first, he said: "It's okay, it's okay, you go first."

The others followed suit, and when the time came with multiple weapons close by, the chances of accidents would be smaller if they encountered some kind of wild beast, so naturally no one would open their mouths to refuse.

Lin Li stood at the back, carrying a small basket on his back, which contained thank-you gifts from his family, but he was too embarrassed to send them out in front of so many people, so he could only stand behind with an embarrassing face.

After waiting for a while, he saw Zhuang Xinyan finishing the carpentry and heading towards the room. After thinking about it, he finally followed in.

Zhuang Xinyan has been waiting for this person.

Among the people who came, it was not that no one was curious about him, but this man was the only one who hesitated, thinking he had something to tell him.

As soon as Lin Li entered the door, a tall body stood in front of him. He rubbed his hands and said angrily, "Zhuang...Zhuang Xinyan, I am here to thank you, thank you for saving my father."

After finishing speaking, he handed over the basket behind his back, and said with a stiff smile, "Our family is poor, and these are all worthless things, so don't dislike them."

Zhuang Xinyan's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of someone. He took the basket politely, and asked casually: "You are welcome, it's just a coincidence. Yesterday, your family members thanked me in the village. gone."

"Oh, you're talking about my younger brother." Xu Shizhuang Xinyan's attitude was very good, which made Lin Li feel relieved a lot, and he didn't feel so nervous. He then complained, "Lin Qi has a bad temper. I just like to take care of my family, and I don't care if it's a twin who will marry sooner or later, so the family members dare not speak loudly..."

"Of course, Lin Qi works extremely hard. From time to time, he goes up the mountain to hunt and pick some wild fruits and comes back. Even the men in the village are not as good as him." Lin Ligang turned his words abruptly in the middle of his sentence. Only now did I suddenly realize that the person in front of me has reached the age of marriage. If the second brother is betrothed to him, it will be burning high incense. He and his parents have different ideas. If Zhuang Xinyan really agrees, no dowry is required It's okay to send it for nothing, save it at home, he didn't even dare to slander him loudly, and his wife even complained to him in private for a long time, asking him to take care of it, but he didn't dare to take care of it even if he had the guts to do so.

Lin Qi.

Zhuang Xinyan thought of these two words in his heart, and then looked at the awkward expression on Lin Li's face, and couldn't help being extremely interested in the Lin family's affairs.

He knew that among sons, daughters, and Shuang'er, Shuang'er was not as good as the other children in the eyes of their parents for some reason, and some families who were partial to each other treated Shuang'er as a human being.

After what the old man Lin and Lin Li said, Lin Qi's treatment at home was not good, but there was something inside that made the two father and son so scrupulous. Suddenly, Zhuang Xinyan really wanted to know about it.

I also want to get to know Lin Qi better.

He said: "Speaking of wild fruits, where are they? I happened to want to pick some wild fruits."

Lin Li opened his mouth, thinking of pointing at a random place, the mountain is so big, there are countless places planted with fruit trees, so why not find it?But then he told the place where his second brother often went: "It's in the mountain valley in the south, and the wild plums are ripe right now."

Zhuang Xinyan answered lightly: "Really, I'll go and have a look tomorrow."
