Cross-country exchange

The white monkey led Xia Yu around and turned away from the cave gradually.It scratched its ears, looked back at Xia Yu from time to time, and then jumped forward.Xia Yu backhand marked all the places he passed, and followed step by step.

Along the way, a burst of white mist curled up.

If Xia Yu hadn't followed closely, he might have been lost in this forest long ago.The figure of the white monkey in front is looming, but when it turns its head, it can vaguely see the pair of bewitching eyes, like a piece of magnificent jewels blooming in the mist.

Xia Yu walked another distance, and the white mist on the way became thinner and thinner, until finally it dissipated completely without knowing it.

In the blink of an eye, everything that came into view was the precious wood that he had dreamed about in his dream.Flower palm wood is just one of them, and there are also rosewood, ebony, rosewood, and agarwood, but all those that can be named, they all stand in front of him in rows, exuding a quiet and distant tree. fragrance.

Xia Yu felt that he was a nightmare, he pinched his thigh fiercely, and it hurt slightly.

"What the hell is going on?"

When he wanted to find the white monkey, there was no trace of this monkey.

"Brother Xia, Brother Xia, Brother Xia." Xie Yun patted his cheek with his hand, his face turned red when he didn't pay attention, and quickly stopped his hand with a guilty conscience.

Xia Yu opened his eyes and sat up straight. It took a while for his deep eyes to focus. He grabbed Xie Yun's hand, "Why are you here?"

Xie Yun looked surprised, "Brother Xia, are you sleepy? I married you yesterday."

Xia Yu looked around, only to realize that he had returned home unknowingly. He rubbed his forehead, "Why did I fall asleep?"

Xie Yun said, "Just now when you came back from outside, you went to sleep on the bed. Grandma said that you may be too tired recently, so I let you sleep for a while. Now we are going to have lunch, brother Xia, get up quickly."

Xia Yu was distracted and absent-minded throughout the afternoon. It was not until Xia's father's noise came from outside that his attention was slightly diverted.

"What are you doing here?" Xia's father is an old man with a weird temper, he is very talkative on weekdays, if he can let it, he will let it go, and if he can bear it, he will bear it.It doesn't matter how noisy you are, in Grandma's words, you are a good old man.But as soon as he touched something of principle, he immediately turned his face, and absolutely turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.

Cao Jingtian did a lot of mental construction in his own home, so he came here cheeky, "Hey, brother Xia, last time I said that I was going to personally take the blame, isn't this here? Don't hold your breath, come on!" Back to that matter, my second boy did not act kindly, but it has already happened, and it is meaningless for us to pursue who is responsible, are you right? Besides, your family Xia Yu is not very up-to-date now, here you go Have you found a brother-in-law and come back? I just saw that your brother-in-law looks very good, and you can definitely add more boys to your Xia family in the future."

Dad of the Xia family almost smashed the teacup on Cao Jingtian's face, he slapped the table hard, the old table creaked and almost fell apart, "Cao Jingtian, you are still not human. Such a big hat is worn on my son’s head, and you just use the words “unkind” to excuse your kid, and let me not be held accountable. Thanks to you, you can still say these words, so get out of here, and give me the answer immediately. I'm going."

After this happened, Cao Jingtian was also angry, and there was no place to vent his anger.Now the old man of the Xia family doesn't give him any face, pointing at the door and letting him go, how can he bear it, "Xia Chengyou, I ran to you to apologize, you didn't even give me a glass of water It's fine if you drink it, but you still let me go, you just pass through the door as a guest, that's how your family treats guests? Besides, isn't your kid already married now? After that incident, the most talked about by people outside is still My family's evil son. What's more, if you think about it yourself, you should be glad that your kid didn't marry that Li Mo, or your family will regret it."

Xia Chengyou was so angry at Cao Jingtian's words that he couldn't speak for a while, and after a few sneers, "According to your words, my boy can't marry Li Mo, and I have to thank your family for interfering in it?"

If it wasn't for the failure of this marriage, their family wouldn't need to exchange their eldest brother for a relative.Thinking of the fact that his eldest brother married and didn't know how he was doing, the father of the Xia family hated the Cao Jingtian family so much.

"Go, go, go as far as you can."

Cao Jingtian was really angry, "Xia Chengyou, I gave you some embarrassment and you even opened a dyeing workshop. We are all from the village, and we don't see each other when we look up. There is no need to do things like this. Besides, you Is there anything I haven't helped you with? Like last time, you said your house was broken and needed to be repaired. I immediately asked you around to find someone to help you, so that you would not live in a leaky place. Also, you said last time that you wanted to build a house for your kid, and you needed two taels of silver, and I'll give it to you without saying a word... Tell me, how have I ever treated you badly."

Xia Chengyou said angrily, "It's okay if you don't mention this. If you really mention it, then we will settle the bill. You said to find someone to repair the house, but in the end, you hired a scum to help, but the house is still not there. Xiucheng, I just want to trick my family Xia Lei into turning back into a brother-in-law, bah, it’s nothing. You said silver taels, right? I’ll get it for you right now, so I can make up for it if there’s anything else to do.”

Dad of the Xia family didn't expect to bump into his own boy in the house, so he turned sideways in a little embarrassment, and took out the two taels of silver from under the wooden bed, "Here, here you are, and I'll give you back. If it wasn't about Li Mo It happened, we should have built the new house for my kid to get married long ago. Just paraphrase what you said just now, thanks to your brat Cao Bingchen who stepped in and let my Xia Yu see it more clearly, you go back on your own Let your boy marry his elder brother, and I won't keep you here any longer."

Having said all this, Cao Jingtian still has the face to stay, holding the two taels of silver, and slamming the door from Xia's house with a black face.

Xia Yu thought, this time their family and Cao's family really fell out.

Hearing Father Xia and Cao Jingtian mentioning borrowing money to build a house unintentionally, Xia Yu panicked in his heart. After thinking about it, he went out and said, "Daddy, There's something I want to tell you, kid."

Father Xia's father had just had a quarrel with Cao Jingtian, and he was in a depressed mood, but it was rare for his own boy to talk to him, Father Xia felt quite honored.

"Is it about your little brother-in-law? Is Xie Yun not used to being crowded in the same room with our family?"

Xia Yu shook his head, "Father, you think too much, Xie Yun has never thought that there is anything wrong with living together. But our family has a large population, and several elder brothers are going to marry, and now I am also married to my brother-in-law , I don't think it's good to always live with my brothers. After a long time, people will definitely gossip. Xie Yun and I don't care. The key is that the brothers have to find husbands in the future. I just heard you say that It is to build a new house for me, so I thought, if you want to build a house, it is better to build another one, so that brothers don’t have to squeeze into the same house with you in the future.”

Dad of the Xia family couldn't help sighing, this idea was quite good, he didn't want his brothers to live with his own boys, but——

Xia Yu then took out a piece of oil paper from his bosom, and handed it to Father Xia's family, "Father, don't worry about the silver taels for now, there are six taels of silver here, do you think we can build a house?"

The father of the Xia family let go of the heavy silver and looked at it for a long time, "Enough, it must be enough." The father of the Xia family was excited first, then looked around the door, closed the door, and grabbed Xia Yu. He walked into the room with his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Boy, tell Dad honestly, why do you suddenly have so much money?"

The reason why Xia Yu didn't hand over the 20 taels of silver directly to his parents was that the amount of money was too large for rural people.One tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand copper plates, and two taels of silver can be used by ordinary people who are self-sufficient for a year.If it is handed over to them directly, it will definitely scare them.

This is indeed the case, but when he did not meet Xie Yun, he really never thought that this wealth would return to him.

"Father, don't worry, these are serious silver, I sold the carved things to a shop in the county that specializes in hand-carving."

Daddy Xia's eyes widened, pointed to the gadgets that Xia Yu carved in his daily life, and said, "What are these wooden combs that can be sold for so much money? Kid, you didn't lie to Daddy, did you?"

Xia Yu knew that this would happen. Fortunately, he didn't tell them about the 100 taels, otherwise they might think that he had done something against their conscience.

"Father, how could I lie to you? Besides, don't you also see that I spend a long time on it? If I can't make money, how can I give up the work in the field? Do this?"

Dad of the Xia family thought about what his kid said was right, especially when he saw his kid selling a wooden comb for [-] Wen in the vegetable market, "How many combs do you have to make for six taels of silver?" To be able to earn so much silver."

Father Xia's family sometimes wandered around and would turn behind the boy to see what he was up to, but he didn't understand for a long time, and in the end he simply let Xia Yu carve some weird things.

Xia Yu explained patiently, "Father, sometimes I not only make combs, but also make other things. Don't worry, just keep the money."

Dad of the Xia family gritted his teeth, thinking of Cao Jingtian and Cao Bingchen, the two fathers and sons, it was not easy to hold his breath in his heart, so he patted Xia Yu on the shoulder vigorously, "You are doing well, daddy. The arrogance of my father and son will continue for me."

Xia Yu nodded, he will settle the account sooner or later.
