"Quickly, put this basket in the warehouse and lock it up." Xu Zhengxiang ordered Xiao Mu.
As soon as she finished speaking, she changed her mind again.
"No, I wouldn't trust it in the warehouse. This thing has to be placed in front of me."
"Okay, okay, stop working around." Xiao Changhe said, "Just put it in the corner of my room. You can't throw it away."
After hearing what the old couple said, Xiao Mu had no choice but to take the things into his parents' house.
Xu Zhengxiang had to keep an eye on the ginseng, and Ye Luoxin and Yang Feng made the final dinner.
Happy today, Xiao Changhe said that he would stew all the eels he had raised before and eat them to celebrate.
Ye Luoxin followed Xu Zhengxiang's previous method of killing fish and cleaned up all the fish.
Yang Feng raised the knife and cut the eel into small pieces, then soaked it in wine to remove the fishy smell.
Then heat the oil in a pot, put the green onions, garlic slices, dried chili peppers and wild ginger pieces into the pot and stir-fry, then add the fish segments and stir-fry, seasoning, and you will have a small pot of braised eel with bright color and tender meat. The fish is out of the pot.
When Xiao Jing came back, he saw that the door of his house was closed and locked inside. He thought something big had happened, so he banged on the door and called for someone.
When he saw the pot of fish, he finally understood, and silently turned around and locked the door again.
It’s rare for our family to have such good food, so we can’t let others take advantage of it.
However, while eating, Xiao Jing always felt that the atmosphere at home was strange.
First of all, his mother, who has always been in good health, said she felt unwell and didn't want to eat.
Then there are the remaining people, all of them are as happy as if they have found a treasure.
Especially the sister-in-law, who was just holding a bowl of brown rice and gnawing at it. She didn't even taste the eel, so she didn't know what she was having fun with.
"Is there something you are hiding from me?" Xiao Jing asked cautiously as he put down his job.
"What's the matter? Children, don't ask so many questions. Just go and study after dinner while it's still dark." Xiao Changhe chased him away.
"No, there's something wrong with all of you. You must be hiding something from me."
Xiao Jing is only 13 years old this year. Xiao Changhe is afraid that he will lose his temper and show off outside, so he has already made an agreement with others not to tell him.
The so-called wealth should not be exposed, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.
The head of the family made his attitude clear, and the others naturally refused to say anything. They all advised Xiao Jing: "If something big happens to our family, go study quickly. The family is still counting on you to take the scholar exam!"
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Xiao Jing was full of doubts, but no one was willing to explain to him, so he had to go back to the house full of doubts.
At night, Xiao Changhe and Xu Zhengxiang couldn't sleep, and stared at the bamboo basket in front of them by moonlight.
"Dad, with these two ginseng, we can pay off our foreign debt!" Xu Zhengxiang said beautifully.
"Not only can you pay off the foreign debt, but you can also save a fortune. Didn't you say you wanted to build a bigger chicken coop before? This time I will get you a double-layered one and raise more than ten or twenty of them."
Xiao Changhe looked at his wife and was also happy.
"His father," Xu Zhengxiang thought for a while and then spoke: "People in Xiaodang Village used to say that the second daughter-in-law was a loser, but look at how many good things have happened to our family since she came in.
The eel a few days ago and the ginseng this time are both good things that I couldn't even think of before. You said, how could it be such a coincidence? I think Mr. Kong is right, our daughter-in-law is a lucky star. "
Xiao Changhe fully agreed with his wife's statement, "I've already said it, our second brother has the most poisonous eyes, and the person he likes will definitely be fair.
Can the wild geese fall anywhere? It certainly can't happen. Just wait, our good days are still to come. "
Hearing what Xiao Changhe said, Xu Zhengxiang felt even better. She used to think that the 50 taels of silver was a loss, but now looking at it, she has made a lot of money. If she had known this, she would have spent an extra 50 taels.
The more the two of them chatted, the happier they became. By the time they fell asleep, it was already midnight.
…
On the other side, in Xiao Mu and Ye Luoxin's room.
After dinner, Ye Luoxin took a bath first.
By the time Xiao Mu came out of the shower, the moon had already risen.
Because he didn't see clearly, he suddenly hit the corner of the table next to the wall with a crash.
Ye Luoxin was startled at first, but when she saw Xiao Mu's furious expression, she didn't know why she couldn't hold it back, and burst into laughter.
As soon as she made a sound, Ye Luoxin thought to herself: It's broken!
She quickly cleared her throat, feeling a little regretful, fearing that Xiao Mu would be angry if she couldn't keep it on her face.
Xiao Mu had now adapted to the light in the room. When he saw the corners of Ye Luoxin's tightly pursed mouth under the moonlight, his heart moved and he blurted out:
"Hey, this table is so hard, it hurts." There was a sense of grievance in his voice.
"It doesn't matter where it hit." Ye Luoxin also became nervous.
"I don't know. It just hurts a lot. It should be fine."
"Come on, let me take a look for you." Ye Luoxin was worried, so she lit an oil lamp and wanted to check Xiao Mu's injuries.
"Where is it hurt?" She looked up and down.
"Here." Xiao Mu pointed to his lower back.
"This, this?" Ye Luoxin paused.
It would be okay if his arms and legs were injured, but the injury was in the waist. If he wanted to check, Xiao Mu would have to take off his clothes.
She had never seen a man's body before, and just thinking about it made her blush.
"Otherwise, you'd better see for yourself." She tilted her head and said.
"I can't see this place." Xiao Mu lowered his voice.
Ye Luoxin comforted herself: "If you just take a look at your man, it should be fine."
"Then," she said with a blush, "then lift up your clothes and I'll show you."
"Yes." Xiao Mu did not hesitate, untied the front belt of his pajamas, and took off his shirt neatly, revealing the strong muscles of his upper body.
Xiao Mu's body is stronger than that of ordinary farmers, but he has a good figure.
With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a straight back, it seems to contain huge strength, and there is not even a trace of fat on the waist.
Ye Luoxin glanced sheepishly and quickly closed her eyes.
But Xiao Mu's strong muscles and toned outline seemed to be engraved in her mind, lingering...
"It seems, it seems nothing is wrong." She stuttered uncontrollably.
"Are you really okay?" Xiao Mu seemed to notice her discomfort and said deliberately: "But I still feel a lot of pain. Do you want to take a closer look?"
Ye Luoxin had no choice but to open her eyes and take a quick look, then quickly closed them: "It's okay."
"Okay!" Xiao Mu said with a smile in his voice, "Then I'll put on my clothes."
Hearing the smile in Xiao Mu's tone, Ye Luoxin suddenly realized that he did it on purpose.
She opened her eyes and said with some anger: "Why do you want to scare me on purpose!"
