The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

It is time to dig the soil in the spring, and Yan Zhenshen really started the work. On this day, Yan Zhenshen cleared all the wood piled up at the old house into the woodshed. The wolf cub howled in dissatisfaction.

Without the chance to escape from prison, the wolf cub was really angry. For several days, it ignored people except when it was time to eat. It was only after several days that it took the opportunity to run away when someone was entering or leaving the old house.

He even pretended to turn back and demonstrate. No one cared if he ran away. Anyway, the wolf cub mostly ran between the new and old houses, and at most went to Yan Zhennan to see the white clouds and snow.

Chu Xiao has always believed that wolf cubs are different from hunting dogs. After all, they are wild animals and cannot be controlled. It is not wrong for them to go out and have fun occasionally.

There was nothing to do at home, so Yan Zhenshen would go to Yan Zhennan to help. Zhao Guizhi asked Qiao Qingyun to drive the carriage to the county town, and when they came back, there were two more piglets in the carriage.

Yan Sanmei circled the piglet several times and happily took it to the pigsty in the backyard. Last year, the family only raised one pig, which was slaughtered for meat as soon as winter came. Although there was meat to eat, there was no income.

This year, we raise two pigs, and we can sell one after slaughtering it. You should know that a pig can weigh at least two hundred pounds by winter. Even if we sell it to a butcher, it will cost twelve or thirteen cents per pound, which is more than two taels of silver.

For farmers, two taels of silver is not a small amount. After all, the betrothal gift for marrying a wife is usually only three or five taels. Otherwise, many people would not say that girls and boys are all money-losing goods.

Qiao Qingyun led the horse to the backyard and started to harness the ox cart. Yan Zhennan said that he wanted to dig some mud and sand from the river. It would be time-consuming and laborious to carry it back by manpower. Fortunately, the cow in the Yan family was strong and could pull the cart even if the road was a little muddy.

"Hey, don't pull too much at a time. If the cow uses too much force, it will hurt its bones and muscles." Zhao Guizhi touched the cow and said, "If you can't pull it anymore, don't pull it. I'll feed you hay when I come back, and add more beans in it."

"Don't worry, Mom. At most, I can run a few more times. I won't let it get tired."

This is our own cow. If someone in the village asked to borrow a cow to transport mud and sand, we would really be reluctant to do so.

While Qiao Qingyun was harnessing the cart, Zhao Guizhi hurried into the house to mix some warm water to feed the cows. She looked so distressed.

Qiao Qingyun felt reluctant to take the cow away and wanted to use a horse-drawn carriage to pull it.

But the strength of a horse cannot compare to that of a cow, otherwise he would not have come back to change for a ox cart.

Chu Xiao chuckled: "Qingyun, take the cow away quickly, otherwise my mother will be more and more distressed the more she sees it."

Zhao Guizhi stopped being pretentious. The animals were bought to work, otherwise no one would spend more than ten or twenty taels to provide them with a living. "Go, go. The river is dangerous. You have to tell them to be careful."

"Okay." After agreeing, Qiao Qingyun drove the ox cart out of Yan's house. Digging sand is indeed dangerous. If you are not careful, there is a deep pit under your feet and you will fall directly into the water. Even some people who can swim will not be able to react for a while and will choke on some water.

This is not a big deal. What’s worse is that the mud at the bottom of the river is too soft and your feet sink into it and you can’t get them out.

Of course, in addition to these, there is also a superstitious belief that if you easily disturb the water ghosts resting at the bottom of the river, they will be dragged by their feet towards the center of the river.

Therefore, digging sand always requires a lot of people, and they have to pay attention to whether there are people around them at all times. They are not very afraid of falling into the water, after all, the water level in the place where sand is dug is not too deep. Most people may be more afraid of those mysterious things.

Qiao Qingyun looked up at the sky. The sun was hanging in the middle. The water had been exposed to the sun for the whole morning, so it shouldn't be too cold.

It didn't take too much time to dig sand with so many people. In less than two hours, Yan Zhenshen came back driving a ox cart.

His clothes had become wrinkled, his shoes were basically covered with mud, and his hair was half dry and a few grains of sand fell out when he shook it hard.

This image was really embarrassing, and Chu Xiao couldn't help laughing. If he wasn't too familiar with this person, he would have really thought he was a beggar.

"How did you do this?"

Yan Zhenshen was a little annoyed when he said, "It was my second brother. He was digging and suddenly shouted "There's a ghost". A timid helper was scared and fell into the water. Everyone else was just laughing. I went to rescue him, but he grabbed my hair and pulled me over as well."

"I'll go boil some water." Chu Xiao didn't ask any more questions and quickly ran to the bathroom in the courtyard to light a fire.

"Okay, just light the fire and I'll fetch the water." Yan Zhenshen led the cow to the backyard and did not forget to instruct Chu Xiao.

"Got it." Chu Xiao had already entered the courtyard, but he still raised his voice and replied.

Zhao Guizhi heard the noise and came out. She first went to check on the condition of her own cows, then frowned and asked Yan Zhenshen how he could be so careless.

Yan Zhenshen raised his hand and rubbed his scalp. He really wanted to say that it was so painful to have his hair grabbed. If he didn't dive into the water, the man might have pulled his hair out.

Even when Yan Zhenshen was washing his hair, he still felt a slight pain in his scalp. Chu Xiao pulled his hair apart and examined it carefully, but found no problem.

Yan Zhennan looked around as soon as he entered the room, and asked Zhao Guizhi quietly, "Mom, where is my eldest brother?"

Zhao Guizhi was working on the uppers of shoes at the moment. When she saw Yan Zhennan coming in, she turned her back to him and said, "If your elder brother hits you, I will just pretend I don't see anything."

"No, mother, I am your biological child too." Yan Zhennan originally just felt that digging sand was cold and tiring, and wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but he never expected that there was someone so timid, and he certainly didn't expect that he would drag his elder brother into the ditch.

"Yes, the palms and backs of my hands are all made of flesh, so I choose not to look." Zhao Guizhi stood up without giving any face and went to the kitchen.

Just as Yan Zhennan was about to call for motherly love again, he saw Yan Zhenshen coming out with a cloth wrapped on his head.

Before Yan Zhenshen could say anything, Yan Zhennan turned around and stuck out his butt, "Brother, kick to the left. Ah Yun kicked me on the right side with both feet just now. It hurts a lot. I can't bear it any longer."

Yan Zhenshen: “…”

"Get lost." Without paying any more attention to him, Yan Zhenshen went straight to the backyard with the bucket to fetch water. He also had to boil water to wash clothes. He didn't have the time to argue with the second brother.

Yan Zhennan was not beaten by his elder brother, and ran to the kitchen happily, "Mom, my son is back safe and sound."

Zhao Guizhi rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "Get lost. Your brain is getting more and more abnormal. Don't bother me anymore."

"I'm very normal, mother. I'm just too happy." Yan Zhennan completely forgot about the trouble he had just caused and said happily, "Once my carpentry shop is built, I can earn money to support Ayun. From now on, I will be the head of the family."

Zhao Guizhi glanced at her son and said nothing, but that meaningful look seemed to say it all.

"mother……"

Zhao Guizhi waved her hands and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, okay, the head of the family, go and do your thing."
