When he was about to lose his way, he finally found a large bamboo forest with more bamboo shoots than the bamboo forest with wolves.

Lin Qiao carefully observed the surrounding area and found nothing unusual, so he squatted down to dig the bamboo shoots.He only stood up and walked back when the space and the backpack were almost filled.

Because he was worried that he would run into wolves on the road, Lin Qiao ran straight to the stream before stopping. After resting for a while, he rushed to Chu's house, laughing as he walked, why is he so lucky?Every time you enter the mountain, you will gain something. Is this the so-called halo of the protagonist?

This is really strange. Every time he goes into the mountains, not only can he find something, but it is also a good thing, and he can sell it for a good price in the town.His daily income almost caught up with a strong labor force's monthly salary.

Back at Chu's house, Lin Qiao boiled hot water and took a shower. Today, it rained a lot intermittently. I hope that little brother Bai won't catch a cold.

After taking a shower, he sat down to settle the accounts again, only to realize that his thinking was too naive. Even if he earned one or two taels of silver a day, it would take three hundred days to pay off his family's dowry without eating or drinking, but he couldn't earn a tael a day. Two silver!Mushrooms and bamboo shoots are there every day?

Looking at the copper plates in the space, Lin Qiao became annoyed again. Today he should sell the drawings to blacksmith Zhang. Didn't he say that the price can still be negotiated?It should be no problem to sell it for 15 taels. If this is the case, how many days of hard work will be saved!

Who cares about other people!Whether to fight or not is not up to him as a small person. Besides, no matter how powerful the improved crossbow is, it is not a weapon of mass destruction. It is far worse than thermal weapons and will not change the course of history.And maybe when he went back, the world would complete its task and disappear.

Lin Qiao was annoyed for a long time, and when she finally lay down to sleep, she still felt that it would be better for a person to have some morals.When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered, why hasn't Mrs. Chu come over for several days to find fault?

Their Chu family is really weird. In order to make a fortune, they actually asked Chu's second child to marry a man.Just marry it!Unwilling to be reconciled, they ran away again on the second day of their wedding, and they haven't seen anyone for so many days, so the Chu family is not in a hurry.

He didn't make things difficult for his husband and wife. He didn't make things difficult for his new wife like in TV dramas or novels. At most, Mrs. Chu came here to find trouble. It was just lip service, and there was nothing substantial harm.

And looking at the layout of Chu's second son's yard, it feels like the Chu family has separated, and it's fortunate that they have separated. Otherwise, would he have to spend morning and evening with Mr. and Mrs. Chu every day?But thinking about it, probably not, he doesn't like the Chu family, and probably the Chu family is even less willing to see him as a husband and wife.

Because he had already told the Li family that he would use the car the next day, Dahei was already waiting outside the Chu family compound early in the morning.The bullock cart was halfway on the road, and it started to rain again. Dahei hurriedly asked Lin Qiao to put on a coir raincoat and bamboo hat.

Lin Qiao thought while putting on the coir raincoat, the Li family is really nice, they are kind-hearted and tight-lipped, and they won't ask him too many questions about his going to town again and again.

When he arrived in the town, Lin Qiao went directly to the restaurant, sold all the leftover bamboo shoots, and then went to the pastry shop to buy a pound of mung bean cake for brother Zhuzi. I don't know what happened to Zhang Tiejiang's incident yesterday.

But when they arrived at the pharmacy, brother Zhuzi was not there, saying that something happened at home and Lin Qiao had to go back to Xiaolinzi Village by car.

The rain fell intermittently for several days. Lin Qiao usually stayed in Chu Er'er's kitchen thinking about the space when the rain was heavy. When the rain subsided or stopped, he would invite Xiao Erhei to pick up fungi. , or go to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, in short, you can't be idle.

Just when Lin Qiao thought the sky had broken and that's why it kept raining, the rain finally stopped and the sun came out.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Lin Qiao and Xiao Erhei went to the bottom of the valley to pick up fungus again while stepping on the muddy mountain road.

Later, when I went to Li’s house to ride an ox cart, Aunt Li asked, “Xiaobai, do you want to grow vegetables? If you want to, plant them as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no vegetables to eat in summer.”

Want to grow vegetables?right!He remembered that he had dug vegetable soil for Aunt Bai when he was in Bai's house, so he asked, "Where do I plant the vegetables?"

He doesn't know much about the Chu family, and he doesn't know if Chu's second child has a vegetable plot?Even if there is, can he plant it?

Although little brother Bai married into the Chu family, the Chu family didn't take him seriously and didn't care about him at all.

Otherwise, it has been so many days since I came to Chu's house, I didn't see Chu's second son, and even Chu's boss and his wife only came to find fault in the first few days, and they never showed up these days.It seems that they don't care about his life or death at all.

It's just that if you don't grow vegetables, you can't rub the Li family often!It's not good to eat stuff like buns every day, he's a little tired now.Usually stir-fry vegetables, and stir-fry meat if you are hungry, so that it is like a normal life!

Aunt Li knew about his situation, and she didn't hide it, and said directly, "The two brothers of the Chu family only lived alone in the yard, and they didn't divide the fields. As for the vegetable fields, the one outside their big yard is , I usually planted it with the big gang, and there is a small piece of land next to it. The big boss said that there is no need to plant so much, and that piece has been vacant. You can ask the big boss to see if she agrees to give it to you. kind?"

The big boss's doesn't mean Mrs. Chu, right?I still have to talk to her!Lin Qiao is not very willing, he thinks it is best not to disturb each other like this now.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Qiao said, "What kind of vegetables to grow? I don't have seedlings."

Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, and then said awkwardly, "You see, I forgot, and I only raised the share of previous years, but I can always spare a little, right?"

Lin Qiao didn't mind, and said with a smile, "I'll grow the seedlings myself! I like to eat eggplants and peppers. Do you have these seeds?"

Aunt Li asked puzzledly, "What is chili pepper?"

It’s bad, it’s the wrong age. Many modern foods are imported from abroad, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, corns, tomatoes, and onions. They are all from the Ming Dynasty and later. Even the appearance rate in costume TV dramas Tall apples were only introduced during the Qing Dynasty.

Lin Qiao smiled embarrassingly, "Aunt Li, what do you usually eat in summer?"

Aunt Li counted with her fingers, "Eggplant, loofah, wax gourd, cucumber, water spinach, leek..."

Lin Qiao, "..."

That's enough, he likes all these dishes.

After counting, Aunt Li became embarrassed again, "I only have a few cucumber seeds left, and it will be too late to raise seedlings now."

With the help of Dahei, Lin Qiao put the basket on the bullock cart, and said without hesitation, "It's okay, Mrs. Chu may not agree to plant that piece of land for me! Let's talk about it later!"

He can't eat much vegetables by himself, at worst, he will buy some vegetables when he goes to the town to sell mountain products.The agricultural products here are very cheap. I heard from Xiao Erhei before that two catties of cabbage hearts cost only a penny!

Lin Qiao and Xiao Erhei sold the mushrooms, took the money, and went to the butcher shop. Li's family ran out of oil and wanted to buy some fatty meat frying oil.

Next to the butcher's shop is a grocery store. Lin Qiao went in and bought a bamboo hat. He couldn't wear the Li family's hats every time. The Li family only had two good bamboo hats, and the others were all tattered. He wore them every time. Erhei Daiding leaked rain, which made him feel very sorry.

When paying the money, I found out that there are seeds for sale here, and the price is still very cheap. Lin Qiao happily bought several kinds of seeds, but only spent ten cents.

The two went to the pharmacy again, but Brother Zhuzi still didn't come back. Xiao Erhei thought that Lin Qiao had something to do, so he said, "Why don't you let my brother go to uncle's house to have a look tomorrow?"

The two of them had just left the pharmacy when a man stopped them.Isn't this Uncle Bai?Why so sloppy and haggard?Lin Qiao's heart skipped a beat. It's only been a few days, how did he become like this?

Uncle Bai chuckled, "It's really the water poured out by the married daughter. If you marry the Chu family, you don't care about your mother's family? You don't even come back?"

Lin Qiao said angrily, "You've said it all, my mother is dead and I don't have a mother's family anymore, so why should I return?"

Uncle Bai was so angry that his beard was raised, "You ungrateful bastard, if I hadn't taken you in, you would have died a long time ago. Now that you are married, why don't you care about us?"

Lin Qiao sneered and said, "Take us in? Are you afraid of laughing to death when you say this? You don't know how much you have benefited from my mother? My mother just died, and you married a man to another man for the bride price. Wicked or not?"

At this time, some people gathered around, and after listening to their conversation, they looked very contemptuous, and said one after another, "It turns out that they are the ones who married off the younger brother as a girl! Shameless, the big one is shameless." , the little ones are shameless. Bah!"

Uncle Bai couldn't stand being pointed at by passers-by. After all, he was born and bred here in ancient times, so he still wanted to save face, so he said a few harsh words to Lin Qiao and then slipped away.

Lin Qiao ignored the pointing of passers-by, and continued to walk out of the town. Xiao Erhei followed behind with a look of hesitation, until he was beside Dahei's ox cart, Lin Qiao said, "Speak if you have something to say. Isn't it uncomfortable to hesitate?"

Only then did Xiao Erhei pluck up the courage to say, "You should have listened to my mother. If you went back to the door, how could such a thing happen?"

Lin Qiao rolled her eyes, "Do you think the family who married off a man for the bride price will be a good family? Even if I go back, so what? If I don't give them what they want, they will still trouble me."

Xiao Erhei wanted to refute, but Lin Qiao immediately said, "If your parents marry you off, what do you think?"

Xiao Erhei immediately patted his chest and said, "Impossible, I am a man, how can I marry? Besides, my parents would never do such a thing."

Lin Qiao sneered, "I'm not a man anymore?"

Xiao Erhei finally stopped talking now, and obediently got on the bullock cart.
