The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

It was midsummer, and wild flowers were in full bloom on both sides of the road, white and pink. Chu Xiao went out to herd cattle and picked some. When a calf came over, he gestured to the calf.

However, the cow's hair was too short to hold together, so Chu Xiao simply tied them all together and made a messy wreath for the calf to wear.

There are many insects in summer, and in order to drive away the flying insects, the calf always shakes the wreath, and the wreath falls off after wearing it for a while.

Chu Xiao put the wreath on it several times until the calf went into the water and the wreath fell into the river and floated downstream. This time it could not be retrieved.

The wolf cub soon followed the scent and came over. Maybe it had learned its lesson from the last time it was thrown into the river, so it didn't go close to Chu Xiao, but pounced on him at a distance from the river.

It must have found something it can bully.

With nothing to do, Chu Xiao took out a sickle from the space and started cutting grass. There was already a lot of grass in his space, so he could take it out and feed the cows and sheep in winter.

After a while, the wolf cub ran over, dropped the frog in its mouth to the ground and held it down with its paw, whimpering as if asking for credit.

Chu Xiao took a look at the little frogs. He thought the wolf cub could probably eat three or five of them in one bite.

"Now you can only bully crickets and frogs."

The wolf cub didn't understand and thought Chu Xiao was praising it, so he swayed and pushed the frog forward again.

"Go and play by yourself." Chu Xiao ignored it and continued to cut grass. There was a kind of grass called gray vegetable in this place. Not only was it tall, but it also grew fast. People in the village would cut it and take it back to feed the pigs.

Chu Xiao cut off a lot of it a while ago, and it has grown again now. He cut it off in the middle to avoid bending over.

Seeing that Chu Xiao no longer paid attention to him, the wolf cub let go of the frog and ran to the river to provoke the calf. The cow mooed twice, and he quickly retreated.

It looked so cowardly that Chu Xiao didn't know whether to say it was a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak, or a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat and how to give in.

After a while, Yan Zhenshen also came over with a backpack. Although Zhang Yiming's two backpacks of grass a day were enough to feed the sheep and rabbits, these livestock also needed food in the winter. He could only take advantage of this period of free time to cut more and dry them.

When Chu Xiao looked up, he saw Yan Zhenshen holding a bamboo tube, which must be filled with honey water.

"It's just been chilled." Yan Zhenshen took the sickle from his hand and asked Chu Xiao to drink the water first.

If it’s hot today, you will sweat even if you don’t move. If you sweat a lot, you will naturally feel thirsty.

Chu Xiao had been out for a while and was indeed very thirsty. He gulped down two mouthfuls of his drink: "Mung bean soup?"

"Yes, Wang Wu sent it."

However, what Wang Wu brought was only mung bean soup, and Zhao Guizhi added some honey to it, so the taste inevitably made it taste a bit strange.

Yan Zhenshen was mowing the grass nearby, so Chu Xiao asked, "Have you sold all the rabbits?"

"We sold them. Wang Wu and I killed eighty-two in total. Wang Wu picked out twenty more from home and kept two fat ones for each family to cook and eat."

This time, Wang Wu's brother-in-law was taking the fish to another county, so he couldn't offer a too high price, only eighty-five cents per fish.

His brother-in-law had to earn the hard-earned money by running errands, and in their hands it was seventy-five cents for one, and eighty for six taels of silver. If each of them got half, Yan Zhenshen would have earned three taels of silver.

Besides, this trip was not in vain, as he also caught a black-hoofed sheep. Since Yan Zhenshen was the only one chasing it, he doesn't need to give Wang Wu points.

In fact, you don’t have to go deep into the mountains to hunt rabbits. There are really a lot of rabbits to the west of Xiangyangpo. With a hunting dog to find rabbit nests, it is no problem to hunt ten or eight rabbits a day.

This time they caught not only big rabbits, but also more than twenty small rabbits. Wang Wu took them back home to raise, and Yan Zhenshen did not count the money.

However, after such a big baptism, it is possible that other rabbits will move to new places.

If I want to catch it again, I’m afraid it won’t be as easy as this time.

Chu Xiao is not very interested in rabbit meat. He prefers pork and mutton.

Especially domestic pigs, which don’t have such a strong fishy smell and are much more delicious than wild boar meat.

Thinking of wild boars, Chu Xiao still has quite a few in his space, and there has never been a suitable opportunity to sell them.

After the cows had eaten their fill of grass, the two men carried baskets of grass to the old house to dry in the sun. Chu Xiao spread the fresh grass evenly, and Yan Zhenshen took a bucket to the river to fetch water. The sun had been strong these days, and the vegetables in the garden had wilted, so they had to be watered.

Yan Zhennan has been very busy recently. He had just chosen a location to build a house and before he had time to find the village chief, he received a big job.

The daughter of a teacher at Qiao Qingyun Academy was getting married, and she wanted a full set of furniture made for her.

There were eighteen pieces in total, including a beauty couch, a step-out bed, a large red lacquered cabinet, a closed cupboard, a dressing table, a camphorwood box, an official leather box, a carrying box, a barrel for keeping children and grandchildren, and a spring stool.

Moreover, each type of furniture requires different materials, so he has been busy looking for various types of wood recently.

Fortunately, he was a talkative person on weekdays, and he knew quite a few people who sold wood when he was an apprentice, so he didn't end up being completely in the dark when the big business came.

But this time the furniture really can't be beaten at home, the clanging noise is still a bit disturbing.

Seeing that Chu Xiao's day was getting closer, he didn't dare to disturb his nephew's rest.

According to calculations, it should be mid-July. Zhao Guizhi has been praying to gods and Buddhas to avoid the mid-July. She even went to the east of the village to find a fortune teller. If she really can't avoid it, she will have to ask the gods to help her suppress it.

Chu Xiao also knew what day July 15th was. If it were him, he wouldn't really care. We were all ghosts, so no one should harm anyone else.

But this concerns the child, and for a moment my fatherly love was so strong that I even felt a little nervous.

Of course, there were many people who were more nervous than him. Yan Zhenshen was watering the vegetable garden when he suddenly became distracted. He poured a bucket of water in one area, which forced the soil apart and caused the roots of the plants to leak out.

Chu Xiao was just about to pull out a cucumber, and when he turned around and saw his expression, he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Shen, are you planning to let the spinach die of drought or flood?"

Yan Zhenshen came to his senses immediately and tried to divert the water to another place as a remedy, but ended up getting his hands and shoes covered in mud.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Xiao was inexplicably mumbling about wanting to eat peanut crisps.

Yan Zhenshen had no choice but to respond, and he drove a ox cart to the county town in the middle of the day.

Because Chu Xiao's taste has been changing recently, sometimes he wants to eat spicy food, sometimes he wants to eat sour food, and sometimes he insists on eating sweet food, making it difficult for everyone to guess whether he is a fat boy or a little brother.

Just in case, Yan Zhenshen bought several kinds of pastries and some candied fruits, both sour and sweet.

As for spicy food, there is nothing I can do about it. Even if he wants to eat it, I dare not let him eat too much as it will easily cause him to get a sore throat.

Yan Zhennan happened to have time to come back that day, and he entered the yard at the same time as Yan Zhenshen.

As soon as he came in, he took out a lot of things mysteriously, including a lucky charm, a small peach wood sword, a piece of jade, and a chicken blood vine bracelet.

"Ayun and I went to another county to look for wood, and we went to a temple to ask for things to ward off evil and ensure safety. They were all gifts for my eldest nephew."

At this time, Zhao Guizhi stuffed the rune she had asked for from the witch into her pocket. Isn't it a bad idea for this family to believe in too many things?
