After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs
Chapter 56 Security, Security, Protect My Home
"You've done this. I'd be sorry if I didn't teach you well. But let's make a deal. My skills can only provide for your basic needs. If you want Xiao Pan to become an embroidery master in the future, I'm afraid it won't work."
Zhao Huanxi understood what Sister-in-law Xiang meant, so he took Sister-in-law Xiang's hand and said:
"Oh, I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I know what's going on. We agreed that I'll pay you 500 wen a month. Is that enough..."
Sister Xiang was shocked by the girl's tone. Although ordinary people paid money to learn a craft, she was not a master, so how could she be worth so much money for a month? So she quickly refused:
"No, no, it's too much. It's more than I sell embroidery pieces in a month. I'm not a famous master, so..."
"Sister-in-law, let's not worry about this. If I think you can accept it, then you can definitely accept it."
After Zhao Huanxi finished speaking, Xiang's sister-in-law's expression also became serious.
His eldest son is studying in a private school in town. His monthly living expenses are several hundred wen, and his annual salary is two taels of silver. Next year, he will take the examination for Tongsheng (a student of the Tongsheng school). If he passes, his salary will double.
The family was indeed a bit short on money, and Huanxi's actions were undoubtedly a timely help. Everyone thought her family was doing well, but in reality, it was just a shell of itself, with most of the money going to the eldest brother. Fortunately, the eldest brother was sensible and never gave them any worries.
Finally, the two of them decided to take Xiao Pan to become his disciple the day after tomorrow. Xiang's sister-in-law had no choice but to agree to take the 500-wen monthly salary.
Zhao Huanxi felt relieved when she saw her agree. She always felt that free things were the most valuable.
If you don't give money or give too little, Sister-in-law Xiang will definitely not teach you with all her heart, and you will have to owe her a favor and always be inferior to her.
But if you offer a little more than the usual price, then the other party will not only teach you well, but will also be grateful to you. Of course, this is a bit of a conspiracy theory. She also believes that Xiang's sister-in-law is not that kind of person.
But as for people, who can tell?
----
The next morning, fresh air filled the air, making people feel refreshed.
Zhao Huanxi stretched, walked into the bedroom and woke up the sleeping people.
Today she was going to go into the mountains to invite the security guard she was going to hire.
Some fish noodles were cooked in the pot. This thing is very filling, so Zhao Huanxi also added diced meat to it.
That day, after slaughtering the pig, Zhao Huanxi gave several dozen pounds to Old Lady Tian's family. Adding the meat he'd used for the banquet over the past two days, there were only about a hundred pounds left. Zhao Huanxi saved some of the tender parts and hung them in the well to eat fresh. He salted the rest, still skin and bones, and hung them over the stove to smoke and serve as bacon.
At this time, the three little girls also got up and packed up. After they had their meal, Zhao Huanxi took some of the leftover pork heads and snacks and fruits from the sacrifice and went into the mountains and forests.
As soon as they reached the pond, Zhao Huanxi didn't need to call out, because the yellow and green ones were already waiting there.
"Are you two waiting for me here every day?"
Zhao Huanxi put down the backpack and washed his face with the water from the pond. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. It was almost May now. When he walked to this place, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Zhao Huanxi's forehead.
"Hehe, I'm not that bored. The water here tastes good. It suits my taste."
Looking at Brother Tai's proud face, Zhao Huanxi smiled and said to him:
"I brought some good stuff this time, do you want some?"
Brother Tai rolled his eyes and said, "What good stuff? Is there anything I haven't seen yet?"
Zhao Huanxi: This familiar eye roll...
Called Xiaoqing down from the tree: "Xiaoqing, come down too, I brought you some too~"
Xiao Qing slid down from the tree with a rustling sound, staring at Zhao Huanxi with her two small eyes: "Fairy, what good things did you bring?"
Zhao Huanxi took out the things from the backpack and said to the fat and thin people:
"This has been offered to heaven and earth. It's said to have spiritual energy, so I brought it specially for you."
Tiger: "What is this? Why does it look so strange? But it smells pretty good. Let me try it."
Xiao Qing didn't eat it immediately, but said to Zhao Huanxi: "Immortal, I can smell that the smell on it is very similar to yours."
"Ah? Do you mean pig's head or dim sum?"
He lowered his head and smelled himself. Could it be that the pig's head was not wrapped properly and the oil leaked onto his back?
Xiao Qing spit out: "It's not the smell of meat, it's a very fragrant smell."
Zhao Huanxi frowned, unable to comprehend the connection. She didn't seem to have much in common with these things. Forget it, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
"Hurry up and eat. Since it smells good, it must be good for you."
Before he could finish his words, Brother Tai opened his mouth and swallowed most of the pig's head, leaving Xiaoqing looking at Zhao Huanxi aggrievedly.
She smiled and shook her head, then took out a small portion of the prepared tribute from the backpack, put it on the ground and asked Xiaoqing to eat it quickly, otherwise the greedy cat would swallow it in two bites again.
Xiaoqing's eyes sparkled, thinking that the immortal was indeed an immortal, treating it so well...
It didn't know that Zhao Huanxi's heart was already in tears at this moment: because that was her lunch
"Huanhuan, this king just accepted a younger brother."
After finishing his meal, Brother Tai yawned. Zhao Huanxi wanted to find a toothpick for him to shave his teeth and light a cigarette for him.
With Brother Tai's temperament, it would be a waste if he didn't become a contractor.
"Oh? So powerful? What kind of animal is it?" Zhao Huanxi continued with a smile.
"Fairy, it's a wolf." Xiaoqing also swallowed two bites of the food and continued with Zhao Huanxi's words.
Wolves? Aren't wolves social animals? Did Tai conquer the entire pack?
"What kind of wolf is it? The alpha wolf or Dao Lang?" Zhao Huanxi joked.
Tiger: "What is Daolang? That wolf was abandoned by the wolf pack and was picked up by this king."
Yes, this is the case with wolves, but in this case, being expelled means either the attempt to usurp the throne failed or the wolf king was defeated. I wonder what the situation is with this wolf?
Seeing Zhao Huanxi's puzzled expression, Xiaoqing explained, "That wolf was white. The wolf king thought it was weird and drove it out of the pack."
This turned out to be the situation, so I asked Brother Tai where the white wolf was, whether it was a mule or a donkey, and asked him to pull it out for a walk.
"I'll wait for you to come next time. Xiaobai is not feeling well and is resting in the cave."
Hearing what Brother Tai said, Zhao Huanxi was surprised that he had given the wolf a name. Now that Xiaoqing and Xiaobai are together, are they going to find Xu Xian?
"Xiaobai? That's a good name, Brother Tai. Did you choose it?"
"Of course. This king is so smart, I just want to come up with a name."
Zhao Huanxi couldn't help but walk forward and stroke Tai Ge's tiger hair. It could be seen that Tai Ge was quite hygienic. There was nothing on his body except some dust.
Xiaoqing was so envious that her eyes were about to burst with bubbles, but she felt that the immortal didn't like her snake body very much, so she tactfully didn't get close to him.
"By the way, Xiaoqing, can you understand what other little snakes say?" Zhao Huanxi's voice came.
"They should all be considered my snake descendants. What's wrong, Immortal? Is there anything you want them to do?"
"This is what I'm looking for. I want to hire a security guard to protect my house. After much thought, it seems like you, Xiaoqing, could help."
Xiao Qing was also very happy in her heart. She liked the immortal. The matter of the two snake grandchildren was nothing to her.
