I went to get a clean towel, poured warm water _ this is ready-made, wrung it dry, and wiped the blood on Liu Hai's face.

Yu Shi didn't sleep, and had been waiting for Liu Hai.Hearing movement in the outer room, he came out and said, "Haier? How's it going? Have you found Wuzhi County?"

"Mother, Liu Hai found me. Thank you mother for taking me in." Wu Zonglun replied first.

Yu Shi pouted, but said nothing.Turned around and entered the house.

livelihood

six,

Since Mrs. Yu didn't object anymore, Wu Zonglun lived in Liu Hai's room that night. He said it was a room, but in fact it was just a bamboo curtain drawn in the middle of the big room so that the bed could not be seen outside the room.

He changed his soaked clothes behind the curtain, but there was nothing to change. Liu Hai hurriedly rummaged through his own clothes to change. Wu Zonglun was touched by his hands back and forth on his body, and the little anger that had not been vented just now came up again.However, he also knew that both of them were drenched in the rain, and it would be easy to catch cold if they did these things again, so he didn't dare to let Liu Hai do it again, so he quickly changed into his clothes.

Liu Hai is slightly taller than him, and he is also thinner than him. It is really not suitable for him to wear Liu Hai's clothes.Liu Hai saw that his chest and waist were stretching the clothes tightly, and couldn't help laughing: "Let's make do with it tonight, and go to the market tomorrow to buy a suitable one."

After all, Mrs. Yu was hard-spoken and soft-hearted. After the rain stopped the next day, he didn't mention the matter of letting him move out. Wu Zonglun temporarily solved the housing problem.

Liu Hai didn't go to cut firewood early in the morning. He went to his mother's room to talk privately with Yu Shi when he came back last night. Early this morning, Wu Zonglun felt that although Yu Shi was still indifferent to him, he was not as angry as yesterday up.

Liu Hai got up earlier than usual today, and after making breakfast, he invited Wu Zonglun to have dinner.

Wu Zonglun said: "Have mother eaten?"

Liu Hai nodded: "I've eaten it, you can eat it."

Wu Zonglun said: "Why don't you eat with me? This is the first meal we have together."

Liu Hai blushed, and sat down slowly with his rice bowl in hand.sitting at the other end of the table.Although the wooden dining table is pitifully small, Wu Zonglun is still very upset that Liu Hai is so far away from him: "Liu Hai, what are you doing so far away from me? Yesterday you said you would be nice to me..."

He walked over with the bowl in his hand, and saw that Liu Hai's bowl was full of gruel, and his own bowl had vegetables and rice, although they were all vegetarian dishes, they were dry.

He felt a pain in his heart, he couldn't tell what it was like, he picked up the bowl and said, "Liu Hai, what are you doing?"

Liu Hai sipped his porridge with his head down, but didn't answer.

Wu Zonglun grabbed his bowl and said, "Since we are married, we should share weal and woe." He divided more than half of the rice into the bang bowl and said, "It's delicious, and you will have the energy to collect firewood after eating."

Liu Hai pushed the bowl over in embarrassment: "I'm used to drinking watery ones in the morning."

Wu Zonglun pushed back: "Actually, I don't like breakfast in the morning. If you push me again, I won't eat it."

Liu Hai, who had no choice but to take over the job, had to eat obediently.

The two went up the mountain early in the morning.

Originally, Liu Hai wanted to go to the old clothes shop in the city, but Wu Zonglun knew that he would waste a day's livelihood by resting for half a day, so he suggested to him that Liu Hai went to the mountain to cut firewood first, and he followed suit, so that he could have a breadwinner in the future ability.

Liu Haidao: "It's my business to support the family. You are my wife, and I will support you." These words sound heart-warming, but they are also worrying.Now Wu Zonglun really regrets it, he shouldn't have softened his heart last night and didn't correct Liu Hai's wrong impression!

"Liu Hai, I'm a man, and I have to support myself. I'll go up the mountain with you to see if you can chop firewood. If there's anything else I can do, I'll do something else."

Liu Hai had no choice but to prepare a hatchet and hemp rope, and the two went up the mountain together.

Relying on his knowledge of kung fu, Wu Zonglun didn't regard it as a big deal to go up the mountain to collect firewood. Unexpectedly, he followed Liu Hai up the mountain and found out that Liu Hai was flexible and familiar with the road, and he was dragged down by him in a blink of an eye.He refused to admit defeat, gritted his teeth and followed closely.

Along the way, Liu Hai taught him what kind of trees could be cut down and what kind of trees would be troublesome to cut down.

Because Liu Hai only has half a day to chop firewood, he picks some small shrubs that look good at the outskirts of the woods near his home and bundles them into bundles for sale.On the way back, I picked up some scattered dead branches, which are for my own use.Today he had a helper, so he walked a little farther. On the road, each of them had a rope. Wu Zonglun picked up some dry and long dead branches, and Liu Hai went to a bush, so he concentrated on chopping firewood.After chopping for a while, I felt that it was almost done. Looking back, I saw that Wu Zonglun had picked up a large bundle in his hand and was about to tie it together, but he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Ang, we have picked up too much and we can't carry it back."

Wu Zonglun said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll help you recite it."

Liu Hai shook his head and said, "Let me see...the branches you picked up are too wet, and you have to dry them before you can use them. It takes too much space to dry them, so throwing away half of them is just fine."

Wu Zonglun was not convinced: "Is it okay to sell it?"

Liu Haidao: "The appearance is too bad..."

Wu Zonglun's self-esteem was a little hurt: "Who said... I'll go to the market with you to have a look. Maybe my bundle will be sold earlier than yours!"

Liu Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and glared at him.The two went to the market with two large bundles of firewood on their backs.

Although it was spring, the noon sun still made us sweat. The two sweated profusely to the market and waited for a while at the city gate.But the passers-by were in a hurry, and no one stopped to take a look at the firewood of the two.

Wu Zonglun yelled when he saw people, and yelled like uncles, aunts, and brothers. Unfortunately, although he had a sweet mouth, some people would like this, but when they saw his firewood, they would shake their heads and wave their hands, and then turned away.

Liu Hai is very honest, standing still, so no one cares about his firewood.

There is no need to compare, lose-lose.

In a blink of an eye, the sun rose to the top of the head, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Even the gate of the city was deserted. Wu Zonglun saw that his bangs were so sunburnt that he could not stand up, squatting on the ground to wipe his sweat with his clothes, he couldn't help feeling distressed.He patted Liu Hai on the shoulder and said, "Wait for me here for a while." As he spoke, he lifted Liu Hai and carried his firewood on his back.

Liu Haidao: "Where are you going?"

Wu Zonglun said with a smile: "Send firewood to the door. Wait for me for a while."

He carried two bundles of firewood and walked towards the west of the city.When I was a county magistrate, I often came to the west of the city, and the people who lived here were all the people with reputation in the county.He searched his memory, Li Dahu has the largest population in his family, and Lin Dahu is honest and charitable.So he walked towards the back alley of the two houses.

First, he knocked on the back door of Dahu Lin, and a servant came over in half a day. Seeing that he was picking firewood to sell, he waved his hand hurriedly: "My family only wants carbon, not firewood, take it away!"

Wu Zonglun said: "Master needs carbon for heating. Could the servants also use carbon? You see, my firewood is dry and neatly bundled, and it is delivered here, saving you a lot of effort."

The man hesitated, "How much?"

Wu Zonglun said: "Originally, a bundle of Siwen was sold at the gate of the city, but now it is also delivered to the door."

Seeing that the man was hesitant, he smiled wryly: "Forget it, I'm too tired to carry it back today, Siwen will give you another bundle." Then he put all the firewood on the ground.

The man said: "Don't let it go, carry it inside!"

Wu Zonglun waved to Liu Hai who was waiting at the gate of the city: "Go! Go to the old clothes shop."

Liu Hai wondered, "Where's the firewood? Did you really sell it?"

Wu Zonglun said with a smile: "Everyone says mine sells faster than yours, here! A total of four pennies!"

The two talked and laughed, and came to the old clothes shop.

Wu Zonglun chose a brown top, but the boss didn't raise his eyes: "Ten Wen."

Liu Hai was about to pay, but was stopped by Wu Zonglun: "There is a big hole in the back, and the sleeves don't fit well. I'll take another look."

He found another pair of brown trousers, and the boss said, "Twelve Wen."

Liu Hai was about to pay again, but Wu Zonglun shook his head and said: "This one is too old, it will break after wearing it for a long time."

So pick again.After several questions, the boss lost his temper: "I said, are you here to buy clothes or to find faults? You think the clothes in the old clothes shop are old, and there is a silk and satin shop opposite, so why don't you go?"

Liu Hai lowered his head in embarrassment, but Wu Zonglun said: "I think the goods are the buyers. Even if I go to the silk and satin shop later, I have to choose carefully first. How about it, the two pieces just now have holes in the back and If it’s too old, I’ll take the four pennies.”

The boss curled his lips: "You are poor and crazy! This piece of clothing is not only four pennies for me!"

Wu Zonglun picked up a red singlet and said, "You don't want Siwen for this one, do you? And this one, if I remember correctly, these are all old official uniforms. By the way, what is the crime of buying and selling official uniforms? These are probably the clothes of the prisoners on death row, and I’m afraid they don’t need money, they were exchanged for wine from the jailer?”

The boss saw that what he said was not bad at all, and he didn't know what his background was, so he didn't dare to be arrogant, so he just said: "Siwen is not good, add more."

Wu Zonglun turned his head and said, "Liu Hai, last time Shao An said what was the name of the new county magistrate?"

Liu Hai didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, but really thought about it carefully: "The surname is Yuan."

The boss said anxiously: "Si Wen is Si Wen, I am unlucky! I also know the new master, and he is more real than the previous one. You two take advantage and go!"

When the two left the old clothes shop, Liu Hai asked, "Brother Wu, why is the boss afraid of the magistrate?"

After walking a little further, Wu Zonglun said: "It's illegal for him to buy and sell the remodeled official uniforms. Although no one took it seriously in the past, since I became the county magistrate, I have enacted a law to prohibit it. After checking him for problems, I even sent People have fined him tens of taels of silver and beat him, so he is afraid when he hears Shao An's name." He said with emotion: "After changing his clothes, he won't recognize who beat him, which is interesting. .”

Liu Hai also smiled.He patted the purse on his waist and said, "I saved so much money by selling the firewood today.
