Chapter 12 Honey
Go home at night.
My father and mother are not asleep yet. Mrs. Chen is working with her sister Fang Lan, and her father and elder brother are repairing farm tools.
The whole family is busy on their own.
Looking at the situation, Fang Yue was actually the only one who went out to 'be lazy'.
"Xie'er, you're back."
"Are you thirsty? There is boiling water for you on the table in the main room."
"You don't know, today Matchmaker Wang came to the door and said I want to tell Brother You something It’s a family matter. I haven’t heard about your ability now. You can go home fishing every day, and our family can eat meat every day.”
Seeing Fang Yue, Mrs. Chen said with a smile, the more she looked at her youngest son. , the more satisfied you are.
Since Xie'er recovered from her injury, she has spontaneously learned to fish, and her level is not low, and she can basically gain something every day.
This has greatly improved the family's eating conditions in recent times, and other families in the same village want their children to follow suit.
But few people can learn it, and they can’t bear it.
This made Ms. Chen very proud during this period. If she hadn't had to go to Liu's house to help out every day, she would have wanted to tell everyone she met that her pigs were good at fishing.
When the boy in the family becomes capable, the mother will be unhappy.
Now even more because of this, matchmakers are taking the initiative to come to the boss’s house to introduce his wife.
This also shows that her family is now prosperous.
In this way, it will be much easier for the two boys in the family to start a family and start a business, without them having to worry too much.
"Xie'er, you didn't see that when Matchmaker Wang left, she was very happy to give her a fish."
Ms. Chen happily gave it to Wei Ping An was talking about what happened at home after he went out to exercise today.
The face is filled with happiness and joy, the eldest son of the family is already eighteen years old.
In the past, I had discussed a few marriages with matchmakers, and I often gave them thank-you gifts, but in the end they all failed due to one or another reason.
This is the first time that a matchmaker has come to propose marriage.
How can you make Mrs. Chen unhappy?
“Oh, by the way, Fang Cheng, quickly take out the honey and give it to your brother to try.”
Before Fang Yue could say anything, Chen seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said He ordered Fang Cheng who was working.
Fang Hu sent this honey over, saying that he wanted to thank Xie'er for teaching his second son how to fish.
You see, Fang Hu is very knowledgeable about etiquette. Unlike other families in the village who learned fishing from my pig, they were stingy and didn’t give me anything.
It’s their boy’s fault that he can’t learn it. How can he learn it?
Otherwise, why would someone else learn it from Ergouzi?
"Brother He, give it a try." The eldest brother Fang Mu is a typical farm boy. Like his father, he is dull and not good at talking.
He took out a jar and a wooden spoon from the kitchen, came to Fang Yue, stretched out his hand and handed them over.
However, Fang Yue could feel a deep love from his eldest brother's simple words and actions.
The seal of the honey jar has not been opened, and it seems that no one in the family has tasted it yet.
Obviously, everyone is waiting for him to come back and let him be the first to try it.
"Dad, Mom, you eat first, honey is too sweet, I don't like it."
Fang Yue refused repeatedly. The warmth in this family is really touching.
However, on second thought, I thought that since this jar of honey was sent by Uncle Fang Hu to thank him for teaching Fang Ergou fishing.
Then Uncle Fang Hu obviously knew that what Fang Ergou taught him was wrong, and the other party who gave him this jar of honey must be prepared to settle matters with him.
So, why did Uncle Fang Hu change his mind in the end and want to teach him hunting and archery himself?
"Xie'er, your Uncle Fang Hu gave this to you to thank you. You eat it first." Fang Mu said.
As the head of the family, well, of course, the head of the family on the surface.
Fang Mu is still very useful in speaking. However, Fang Yue still insisted on letting his parents eat first.
Unable to resist, Chen and Fang Mu could only taste it first.
In this era, ordinary farmers had a hard time surviving and they didn’t have enough to eat. They could only get a little bit of meat during festivals.
Sweets such as honey are even rarer, and many people may not be able to eat them once every three to five years.
After all, this thing can be exchanged for money in the city.
In this day and age, who would be willing to stay and eat by themselves?
Ms. Chen and Father Fang just took a small bite each and gave it to Fang Yue.
Fang Yue has no choice but to try it briefly.
Purely natural and pollution-free honey with no added sugar.
It is not as sweet as expected, but it has a refreshing fragrance that makes people remember it.
After taking a mouthful of honey, Fang Yue handed the jar to his sister Fang Lan.
Then he came to Chen: "Mom, today Uncle Fang Hu said he wanted to teach me how to hunt."
"Shu'er, what did you say? Hunting? Your uncle Fang Hu wants to teach you. Hunting? ”
At first, Mrs. Chen thought she had heard wrongly. Over the years, countless families in the village wanted to send their children to Fang Hu to learn hunting.
If you learn to hunt, you won’t be able to hunt tigers and leopards like Fang Hu, but ordinary mountain deer, raccoons, rabbits, pheasants, etc., you can make a lot of money.
Especially the best wolf skins and fox skins can withstand taxes and levies.
If you are lucky and hunt more than ten, the whole family will feel much more relaxed.
Fang Hu took the initiative to teach Hugh'er how to hunt. This must be because Hugh'er is smart and good.
Otherwise, why would we only teach Piggy?
Thinking of this, Chen's face showed a proud look again.
But after a moment, she thought that there were countless tigers, leopards, wolves and worms in the mountains. People in the village who had not believed in evil before wanted to be hunters, but most of them were in danger.
My face immediately changed: "No, no, it's too dangerous. I won't let you learn to hunt."
"Yes, Brother Pig, hunting is too dangerous, don't go." ." Fang Lan also opened his mouth to persuade.
"Mom, this is an opportunity that no one in the village could ask for. I want to learn."
Fang Yue didn't expect that even if he wanted to learn hunting, his family would be so opposed to it.
Hunting can obviously improve the living conditions of the family. Now that the Xiahe River has entered the dry season and there is no stable fish harvest, it is also a way for the family to maintain a source of meat.
Besides, with his qualifications, he can definitely become an excellent hunter.
Of course there is no such thing as a situation where you cannot learn the situation and make a profit without losing money.
He certainly couldn't give up.
Besides, just pulling the bow requires three to four hundred kilograms of strength. Professor Fang Hu’s hunting is definitely extraordinary.
It is very likely that it involves martial arts. He does not want to give up and cannot give up.
"How old are you, what do you know? Have you ever seen a tiger, have you ever seen a leopard? In the village, your thirteenth uncle went into the mountains to collect medicine, and was picked up by a tiger."
Seeing Fang Yue being so stubborn, Mrs. Chen stood up and came to Fang Mu's side, and slapped Fang Mu hard on his broad shoulder.
The voice was dull, and it was obvious that a lot of effort was used.
This was because his son felt sorry for him and was reluctant to take it out on Fang Yue, so he made Fang Mu suffer.
"His father, please hurry up and say a few words!"
