Employed husband

Sister's lifelong event has been resolved, but new problems are imminent.Seeing that winter is less than five months away, during this period, Zheng Daliang must earn enough money to buy winter clothes and quilts for everyone, and more importantly, he must renovate the thatched cottage!

There was no air-conditioning in the ancient south, and winter was simply a reminder!The damp and cold seeped into her bones day and night, she just felt that there was no dry place all over her body!Cold people almost suffocate!The house is very pitiful, with wind and rain leaking everywhere, and I can't even take out a warm quilt!

If Grandpa didn't feel sorry for her, reduced the food for the big guys, went out and burned some of the firewood for sale at home to keep her warm, and Brother Shiqiao occasionally sent some meat to help her, she might have been frozen hard and dragged out to be buried... …

The clothes are almost dry, looking at the sun gradually rising to the top, thinking that the stone bridge should also come out of the forest, Zheng Daliang pulled out a small pot from the two people's secret stronghold by the stream, set up a fire and started boiling water, ready to eat together lunch.

Not long after, Shiqiao came out happily from the forest. There was a pheasant hanging in front of him, and two hares behind him. It seemed that today was a bumper harvest!

"Brother! Look what a good thing I've got!" Seeing Zheng Daliang, Shi Qiao pulled out a long, soft thing from his waist and waved it at her.

Zheng Daliang took a closer look, and took a big step back in shock: "Brother Qiao... you took... but... a snake?!"

Shiqiao was amused by her and laughed: "It's nothing, grass snake, it's not poisonous! It's dead too! Brother will roast snake meat for you today."

It turned out to be dead... Zheng Daliang heaved a sigh of relief and decided to pay homage to it in the Temple of the Five Zang-organs.She bravely went up to knock the unlucky little snake curiously. She heard that the snake was full of live flesh, and it was delicious. With Shiqiao's good craftsmanship, hehe~ she was lucky again.

Shiqiao went to the stream to pick up the snake meat, removed the head, and peeled off the skin.The gall of this snake is not very useful and is thrown away with the other internal organs.Wash it clean, cut it into small pieces about one inch, add seasoning to remove fishy smell and a small amount of salt, cook until it is half-cooked, and take it out.The next highlight came, Shi Qiao took out his carefully prepared barbecue ingredients, spread them on the snake meat and roasted them slowly.

Soon, the snake meat exuded a tempting aroma, Shiqiao handed Zheng Daliang a piece, picked up a piece himself, and the two began to gnaw like a chicken neck.

The grilled snake meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is so oily when you bite into it!Zheng Daliang ate heartily, while ambiguously expressing sincere praise: "Brother Qiao...you baked so delicious...don't be a waste of time as a cook..."

In fact, being a famous chef is Shiqiao's dream, only his wife Zheng Erniang and his best friend Zheng Daliang know about it.Zheng Daliang feels that Shiqiao is not a fantasy, he really has the ability.

For example, the barbecue ingredients are all made of common seasonings, and Shiqiao didn't keep it private, and taught Zheng Daliang all the recipes, but no matter how hard she and Sister tried, they couldn't match the right taste.From this point of view, cooking is indeed an art that requires great talent, and Shiqiao just has this talent.

It's a pity that he doesn't have this life...he can only be a farmer for the rest of his life... Shiqiao smiled lonely, didn't answer Zheng Daliang's words, and only said gently: "Eat more if it tastes good."

Zheng Daliang looked at his slightly disappointed expression, blinked and said nothing more.

A snake didn't have much meat in total, and the two ate some steamed buns with boiling water. Feeling energetic, they went back to work in the woods.

Zheng Daliang continued to walk in, looking for suitable branches.As she was walking, she suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance. Following the smell, she looked up, and the trees in front of her were full of a very familiar fruit.

Zheng Daliang climbed up the tree suspiciously, picked a pale yellow fruit and rubbed it, biting it lightly, the soreness made her tremble from head to toe, and almost fell off the tree!This thing really is green plum!

After the sour taste in his mouth passed, Zheng Daliang had a sweet aftertaste.The fruits produced by these trees have a pure sour taste, no astringency and a sweet aftertaste. They are top-grade green plums!

Her eyes lit up, and her mind suddenly became active. I am afraid that her house, cotton clothes, small charcoal stove, and even her future small business are all tied to these few wild green plum trees!

Zheng Daliang hurried down, went back to cover all the traces of people passing by, and found another place far away from the fruit trees to continue cutting firewood.

The forest at night was very dangerous, and they walked deeper, so Zheng Daliang and Shiqiao had to hurry down the mountain before the sun completely set.

In the afternoon, Shiqiao's harvest was mediocre, only some wild vegetables and fruits were picked.But he is already very satisfied, usually it is not bad to hunt a rabbit or pheasant, but today he not only hunted three, but also ate snake meat and harvested snake skin!

When he got out of the woods, he saw Zheng Daliang, who had just finished recycling the shrimp pots, standing beside the firewood pile with the corners of his mouth raised, drawing a big arc towards him.

... This expression is quite familiar, whenever he picks up the prey pierced by his rough hunting arrows, he probably also has such an expression...

"You...you...what are you going to do?"

"Hey~Brother Qiao, do you want to earn more coins? Actually, I have a few good ideas..."

Zheng Daliang flickered all the way, and when he approached the entrance of the village, the corners of Shiqiao's mouth had already raised the same arc as hers, and the two made an appointment after dinner to ask Ajie to do handwork together.

At this moment, shouts came from the front, and the shouts got closer and closer. It turned out that a group of children were madly chasing another child whose forehead was beaten blue.

Although the child being chased in front was young, he ran fast.Zheng Daliang took a closer look, isn't this the three pillars of her family!

The one who took the lead in chasing Sanzhu was the son of a wealthy family in the village.He became the leader of the children in the village by relying on a few snacks. Only Sanzhu led his sister and friends refused to obey him, so that child often led other children to chase Sanzhu and them!

Shi Qiao raised his eyebrows immediately, and wanted to step forward to stop the children from bullying others, but was stopped by Zheng Daliang.

His younger brother Zheng Daliang couldn't understand better. Although Sanzhu was alone and alone, he was not stupid.He has been beaten many times, and he has summed up a set of practical fighting experience.

Generally speaking, Sanzhu will attract firepower by himself, and when he sees the opportunity, let his little partner lead his sister to withdraw first, and then use his two legs to move fast, leading every time.When the group of idiots in the back separated those who could run from those who couldn't, Sanzhu would use the terrain to suddenly return to his carbine, and with a ruthless hand, he knocked down the fast-running individual in front, and then fled quickly.

Zheng Daliang was gratified about this, but it was also funny, and he could only express helplessly—although it was out of instinct, but he already had a preliminary tactical thinking at a young age, which is really gratifying, and even he had to admire it.

But something was wrong today, Zheng Sanzhu obviously suppressed his speed on purpose, and looked back while running, not even noticing that his elder brother and brother-in-law-to-be were right in front of him... There must be a fraud in it!

Sure enough, when he was approaching the straw stack standing by the roadside, Zheng Sanzhu suddenly shouted: "Come on! Stone horse! Come on!"

A sturdy kid about the same age as Sanzhu turned out from behind the haystack, "Ha!" With a loud round of his arms, he threw a stone the size of a flowerpot at the head bully like a discus.

This is his younger brother, Shiqiao knew.He was born with supernatural power, and Shiqiao knew it too.But that's not how natural power is used!If such a big stone hits a person's head, it must be crushed straight away!

The children chasing Zheng Sanzhu were all frightened by the huge flying stones, and stayed in place without moving!

It was too late for Shiqiao to run over to save people, so he threw the two hares in his hands at the murderous stone with all his strength!

The two phases collided, and the stone changed its original flight path and landed on the foot of a child next to it.The hare slapped the leading bully in the face, knocking him down.The two children who were beaten burst into tears, and the other children dispersed when they saw each other coming.

Before the matter was over, at the moment when the leading bully fell down, a little girl with braids suddenly jumped out from the side, knelt down and punched the sad child with two fists!While beating, he shouted childishly: "Hit you! Hit you! Scoundrel!"

Zheng Daliang almost fainted!Isn't the little girl who took the opportunity to beat someone her sister Si Niang!Leaving the pile of firewood and walking a few steps over, she picked up the little girl who was fighting vigorously: "What are you doing?!"

Shi Qiao also put on a tiger face and grabbed Zheng Sanzhu and Shi Ma who wanted to sneak away, and ordered them not to escape.

When the leading child was lifted up, his nose was bled from the heavy hare, and the other child only had a small bruise on his foot, but fortunately, neither of them were seriously injured.

Shi Qiao sent the injured boys home, while Zheng Daliang took the three troublemakers back for training.

Sure enough, Zheng Sanzhu came up with all the bad ideas, but Zheng Siniang's appearance was not in his plan, and she heard the two little brothers discussing revenge, so she followed secretly.
