My husband was picked up from [farming]

Chapter 28

Not to mention that Wen Yu has not seen ginseng in more than ten years, even the village chief may have never seen it in his life.

Suddenly hearing that the bowl in front of him was ginseng soup, Wen Yu felt that he might have heard wrongly.

Isn't it true that only the emperor can eat ginseng? Or only wealthy people, relatives of the emperor, could eat it. He, a brother in the village, could see that ginseng was a blessing, but he didn't expect that he could still drink ginseng soup in this life.

Yang Zhao saw him sitting there blankly, frowned and knocked on the table, "Eat while it's hot."

"Second brother, where did you get the ginseng?"

Yang Zhao saw that he didn't dare to touch the soup, so he put it down helplessly. Chopsticks in hand.

"That was given to me by my brother at the foot of the mountain. He found it in the mountain before."

Hearing this, Wen Yu hesitated, "This shouldn't be cheap if sold, right?"

Yang Zhao knew what he was worried about, and held the bowl in one hand with a cold face. , holding a spoon in one hand and bringing it to Wen Yu's mouth, "Open your mouth!"

Facing his frost-like cold eyes, Wen Yu trembled in fright, subconsciously obeyed the command and opened his mouth, and drank two or three spoons before he realized what was happening. Staring wide, Yang Zhao had no intention of stopping.

Before he could refuse, Yang Zhao said: "I have sliced ​​that ginseng, and I can't sell it now. It will rot if left uneaten."

Wen Yujian had never seen ginseng, so how could he know that? Although he was heartbroken to learn that the ginseng had been cut, there was nothing he could do about it. With Yang Zhao supervising him, it was difficult not to eat it.

After drinking a small bowl of ginseng soup, Yang Zhao finally stopped and started eating. Seeing Wen Yu's expression calm down, he gave him a piece of fish, which he had caught in the river before.

"Tomorrow I will go to the mountains to look for pheasants. Stewed with ginseng will be more nutritious."

Wen Yu whispered while eating the rice in the bowl: "But the snow in the mountains is still thick now, and it is very dangerous to enter the mountains. Second Brother Let's go after a while. "

My family is not at the end of its rope, so there is no need to take risks.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the snow stops, I'm familiar with the road in the mountains. It's not difficult to walk if you are careful."

Wen Yu couldn't resist him and just told him not to go into the mountains.

The life suddenly became peaceful. Every morning he got up early and went to the chicken coop to collect eggs. Wen Yu made shoes in the house every day, and when he was tired, he would play with the ducklings.

I go to the hot springs every now and then, and sometimes I take the little ducks with me to revisit the old places. Every time I want to go home, I call them and they come back with their butts twisted. They are very well-behaved.

Near the end of the year, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Zhao took the prey and the shoes made by Wen Yu, and the two locked the courtyard door and set off towards the town.

Passing by the village, Wen Yu sighed as he sat on the cart looking at everything restored to its original state.

Just as he was sighing with emotion, he saw Wen Dafu limping back from the end of the village, followed by a man he had never seen before.

Wen Dafu didn't know what he was talking to. When he saw Wen Yu passing by in a car, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded at him.

The two of them missed each other for a while, and Wen Yu couldn't help but ask the questions in his heart.

"Didn't you want to help them before?"

In Wen Yu's view, this was Yang Zhao helping Wen Dafu's family, so that they had enough food for the New Year, and some people even helped build a new house.

"It's not like helping Wen Dafu and the others. If we say we are helping, it's to help our brothers settle down. Wen Dafu voluntarily donated half an acre of land for my brother to build a house."

Almost every family in Huailiu Village has a relative with a foreign surname. I want to allow so many people to settle down, but if any family is not tied to the "bandits", they will go to the government office to file a complaint. I am afraid there will be hidden dangers, but if they are tied to them, they will not talk nonsense. .

Going to town for the second time in his life, Wen Yu was still agitated and looking around with his big eyes.

You can't blame him. Although he was here last time, it was not as lively as today.

As the New Year approaches, many people put out their goods for sale. The streets that were once deserted and deserted now look like a big market, full of vendors selling goods and people coming and going to buy New Year goods.

This made Wen Yu very excited, and he was curious about everything.

"Second brother, how much money can we make today?"

Although we came out this time to buy new year's goods, our first priority was to go to Du Yuanwai's house to sell the things we had, and by the way, we sent the shoes that Wen Yu had made.

"Ten taels should be fine." Yang Zhao's eyes were full of expectation and joy.

Twelve? Wen Yu muttered that he had never seen so much money before. Touching the shoes in the bag, he became more and more excited.

Gao Liang, the young steward of the Du Mansion, had been waiting on the bench at the back door for a long time. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Yang Zhao pulling the cart over.

When the trolley stopped in front of the Du Mansion, Wen Yu got off the trolley with a small bundle in his arms. When he saw Gao Liang approaching, he still stood behind Yang Zhao with some restraint.

Gao Liang felt sour in his mouth when he saw this scene, and looked at Yang Zhao with a bit of resentment.

Not only was Yang Zhao not angry when someone glared at him, he actually smiled proudly.

"High-ranking officials have a leisurely life during the New Year."

Gao Liang looked at Yang Zhao with a half-smile, "There are many capable people in the house, so there is no need for me. I can only wait for you to find some work for me."

After speaking, Gao Liang looked at Wen Yu who was standing aside, "Have you made the shoes, young man?"

Just now he saw Wen Yu holding a bundle and not letting go.

Meeting Yang Zhao's eyes, Gao Liang smiled again, "Come in now, Yang Zhao, take your things to show the master first. Maybe the master can reward you with something else this time."

After that, he added Turning to look at Wen Yu, "Young man, follow me to have tea first, and we will calculate the money for the shoes later."

After this first experience, Wen Yu was not too nervous. He glanced at Yang Zhao and followed Gao Liang to the other side. Have tea in the hall.

As soon as they sat down, tea and snacks were served. The wind blew them all the way in the winter, so Wen Yu didn't care about being polite and started to drink lightly with a tea cup.

"This is brown sugar ginger tea. Drink some to warm yourself up. The snacks are also good. Don't be cautious, young man. Eat some to cushion your stomach."

He hesitated for a moment, looking at the soft, waxy and white snacks, and smelled the faint milk. The fragrance drifted by, and Wen Yu really couldn't hold it back. He raised his hand to pick up a piece and put it into his mouth.

The soft and tender texture, the sweet milky taste, were all tastes that Wen Yu had never imagined before. His eyes widened uncontrollably, and he couldn't care less about pretending to be calm.

With a smile on his lips and eyes full of surprise and love, Gao Liang sat not far away and took in his expression. He picked up the black tea with a smile and took a sip, shaking his head secretly, sighing in his heart that Yang Zhao really found a treasure.

When we first met, we thought Wen Yu was a country boy, timid and submissive. After knowing Yang Zhao for so many years, people's hearts were biased, and they felt that Wen Yu was not good enough for Yang Zhao.

But this time when he saw Shuang'er from the countryside, looking at his gradually opening facial features and his more relaxed and generous demeanor, Gao Liang suddenly felt that the previous Wen Yu was like a pearl covered in dust.

Now Yang Zhao was slowly wiping the pearl out, and Gao Liang was looking forward to seeing what Wen Yu would be like in the future.

"Yang Zhao went down the mountain once before. I heard that the young man was unwell at that time. I wonder how he is recovering now?"

After swallowing the cake in his mouth, he smiled warmly and said, "It's better now." Gao Liang

nodded slightly, He put down the cup in his hand, raised his finger and tapped the baggage beside Wen Yu from a distance.

"Are those ready-made shoes?"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Wen Yu immediately picked up the bag and opened it as if to offer a treasure.

"My second brother didn't let me do my needlework after being sick for a few days, so I made these dozen pairs."

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows brightly, "So many?!"
