Chapter 7 Borrowing money from my fiancée
Thoughts flashed.
Zhang Hao looked at the mountains in trance.
He was stunned for a long time, and then thought of a very practical problem.
Since he wants to be a mountain walker, the first step is to prepare tools.
It is recorded in ancient books that a basic mountain walker needs to prepare a sharp blade, which is commonly known as a pig-killing knife. It is also called an invasion knife in some places. It has a wide and sharp tip and becomes narrower towards the handle. It does not look like an ordinary knife handle, but has a cylindrical shape. It can be put on a sharpened wooden stick or iron tool and used as a long knife.
In ancient times when there were no guns, a butcher's knife became one of the few life-saving weapons used by hikers when encountering wild beasts in the wild.
Of course, the mountain walker also has other life-saving skills, but those are still a bit too early for him now.
In addition, you also need to prepare various things for worshiping mountain gods, mountain ancestors, and all kinds of messy things.
Most of these things are not available in ordinary people's homes, and they basically need to be bought out.
It is embarrassing to say that since Zhang Hao returned to the village from the city, he has been living on the little property his father left for him.
Up to now, all the family property has been spent, it can be said that there is no cent left.
Let alone buying tools, it would be difficult for him to even buy a bottle of wine.
Of course, even if he had money now, he would not buy wine.
He was determined to make changes and never repeat the same mistakes as in his previous life.
Why not... borrow some money from Li Siyu, buy the tools first, and after you make some money by hiking, you can pay her back with some interest...
Zhang Hao's old face turned red, and he felt that he couldn't speak these words.
No matter how you think about it, it is a bit unspeakable for a grown man to borrow money from his fiancée.
What's more, he owed Li Siyu so much.
But now, it seems that this is the only way.
Thinking of this, he sighed silently, put the ancient book he had read once on the dining table, walked back to the bed and lay down in a few steps.
It was already late at night, and Li Siyu had already gone to bed. Even if he wanted to borrow money, he would have to wait until tomorrow.
Lying on the bed, he looked at the dome-like top of the bed, his eyelids gradually becoming heavy.
It didn't take long for a steady breathing sound to come out.
……
Giggle~
The loud crowing of cocks pierced the half-lit sky.
Zhang Hao slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his aching head, and sat up from the bed.
He went to bed a little late last night, and he had been drinking for a long time, which had left him with a headache from a long time ago.
I got up, came to the dining table, poured myself a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp. The headache feeling subsided slightly.
Through the window glass, looking at the white fish belly gradually emerging from the water in the east, he was still thinking about how to talk to Li Siyu.
This is indeed a bit difficult to talk about.
He asked to borrow money before the two were married. What's more, the impression he left on Li Siyu was not good before.
If he really asked to borrow money, Li Siyu might think of some not-so-good things.
However, if he didn't speak, how could he prepare the tools...
You can’t really start working in the city from now on and buy tools when you come back after making money, right?
That's not very realistic.
Many things have to be struck while the iron is hot, just do it when you think of it.
Besides, if he really goes to the city to work, he might come back half a year later and his home will be gone...
After thinking twice, Zhang Hao put down the water glass, walked to the door in a few steps, and walked out of the room.
Standing in the courtyard, looking at the courtyard that had not changed at all from yesterday, I took a deep breath of fresh air.
Well, the air in the mountain village is still so fresh.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt it. Just when he was about to stretch and move his body, he saw Li Siyu changed into a sky-blue antique Hanfu, holding a woven vegetable basket in one hand, and the vegetables in the basket were all fresh vegetables with dew.
"Good morning." Zhang Hao was slightly startled and said hello with a smile.
Li Siyu paused for a moment, looked up at him, and nodded emotionlessly: "Good morning."
After saying that, she turned and entered the kitchen, apparently to prepare breakfast.
Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment, then simply stopped worrying and prepared to start moving around in the yard.
If you want to become a mountain walker, having a good body is a necessary condition.
With his current physical condition, it is very likely to be dangerous to walk up the mountain hastily. If he encounters a wild beast, it will basically be in vain.
Thinking back to some simple exercises described in ancient books.
Zhang Hao thought as he moved his stiff body that had not moved for a long time, and the thoughts in his mind began to spread.
Mountain walker.
Travel to hundreds of mountains and traverse all fields.
The rules are many and complicated, and the details are even more complicated.
Whether it is offering sacrifices to mountain gods, worshiping mountain ancestors, or whatever situations you encounter in the wild, and what you want to do, there are corresponding and systematic rules for handling it. If you do something wrong, you may offend the mountain gods and get nothing.
Of course, this is what is said in ancient books. Zhang Hao doesn’t know exactly what happened.
Just as he was thinking for a long time, he saw Li Siyu walking out of the kitchen carrying two plates of fried vegetables and heading straight towards the main hall.
Zhang Hao also finished his physical activity, jumped into the kitchen, and brought out the steamed rice cakes and mixed cold dishes.
Afterwards, the two sat opposite each other, holding chopsticks, and began to eat in silence.
This meal was particularly depressing and dull.
While Zhang Hao was eating, he occasionally raised his head and looked at her.
"What's the matter with you?"
At this time, Li Siyu swallowed the food in his mouth and asked.
Zhang Hao was startled, then put down his bowl and chopsticks, took a deep breath, and said a little embarrassedly: "Can you... lend me some money?"
Li Siyu's hand holding the vegetables paused, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she immediately returned to normal and continued to hold the vegetables, her tone becoming colder: "Are you going to buy wine again?"
Zhang Hao sighed silently.
Sure enough, he knew that Li Siyu would ask such a question.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Li Siyu, who made him leave such an impression on others.
I only have myself to blame.
"Yesterday I made up my mind to quit drinking." Zhang Hao responded.
Li Siyu chewed slowly, nodded and replied: "Well, it's pretty good."
The two fell into silence again.
Zhang Hao also picked up the bowl and chopsticks, put a mouthful of food into his mouth with his chopsticks, and after swallowing, he said: "I borrowed the money because I wanted to do something. I have been drinking all day since I came back and had nothing to do. I want to do something." , at least it can’t go on like this.”
Li Siyu paused, raised his head slightly, and looked at the man opposite him. His apricot eyes showed a little surprise, but it was fleeting.
Lowering her head again, she continued to eat and asked casually: "How much money do you want to borrow?"
Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said a number: "500."
"Is it enough?" Li Siyu asked.
Zhang Hao nodded: "500 should be enough. If it's not enough...if it's not enough, let's talk about it."
"Okay, let's eat first. I'll turn around after you finish eating." Li Siyu's tone softened.
