In the first few days, Niu Dali would accompany Wang Shihu and seven others to go up the mountain to hunt.
Later, he simply let Wang Shihu and his seven men go up the mountain to hunt. After all, with the strength of Wang Shihu and his men, even without him, even if he encounters wild animals such as wild boars and tigers, he can still easily kill them.
But to be on the safe side, he still refined some ordinary healing pills and detoxification pills for Wang Shihu and the seven others in case of emergency.
Wang Shihu and the others were a little confused. They didn't understand why Brother Niu asked them to go up the mountain alone, but since Brother Niu said so, they had no objection.
In the past few days, even without him, Wang Shihu and his men caught not much prey.
However, even though Niu Dali did not go up the mountain to hunt together, Wang Shihu and his men still shared the silver sold for the prey with Niu Dali equally.
But as the saying goes, if you don’t receive any reward, Niu Dali will naturally not receive the money earned by Wang Shihu and his men in hunting, but Wang Shihu and his men insist on giving it to him.
The few people talked and said something, Niu Dali was speechless.
According to their meaning, without Niu Dali, there would be no today for Wang Shihu and others.
What's more, although Brother Niu did not go up the mountain to hunt together, Brother Niu lent the big yellow to them to pick up goods and helped the top leader, so the money must be collected.
Even though Wang Shihu and others said this, Niu Dali still understood what they meant.
They wanted to repay him, and he was not the kind of pretentious person. Wang Shihu and others said this, but he didn't want to refuse again and again.
In the afternoon, He Chongda slowly walked into Xinghua Village with his horse and met many familiar uncles along the way. He Chongda politely greeted these uncles.
"Now the He family has been released." Some villagers sighed.
"It goes without saying that this child is now working in the yamen. He often sees the county magistrate. Do you see the horse that the master leads? That can only be ridden by noble people."
Looking at He Chongda's clothes as he gradually became far away, the villagers around him were all envious. In the past, the He family was the poorest family in the village, but now the He family is different from the past. Whoever saw him was not allowed to greet him politely.
He Chongda didn't know that the villagers were talking about him. When he returned home, he looked at his familiar younger brothers and showed a long-lost smile on his face.
"Seriously, why are you back? Have you eaten it at noon? Why would I put some rice and flour for you?" He said in surprise.
"No need, I've eaten in the county town. I'll take a break from the yamen today, I'll come back to see you." He Chongda laughed and took out his money bag from his waist, "Mom, this is the salary that the yamen will pay me today."
"How can you give all your children to your family? You have to keep some. The county is not like a village. I heard that many things are very expensive, and a bowl of noodles costs several copper coins." He hurriedly took out some copper coins from his money bag and handed them to He Chongda.
"No, mom, I eat and live in the yamen, so I don't have to spend money." He Chongda hurriedly said: "My younger brother is growing up and there are many places to need money."
He sighed. Although he was in charge of the yamen, many people envied their family and thought that their family was about to be released, but only they knew that it was just a mere appearance and the family was still living in poverty.
However, compared to the beginning, I don’t know how much better this is. At least the salary of working in the yamen can make the family much better.
He Chongda and his younger brothers watched the horse outside the house. He Chongda asked them to pay more attention. After all, a horse will kill people when it becomes crazy.
"It's okay, brother. We often go to the back mountain with Erya to herd cattle, and know how to feed the horses?" He Chongwu laughed.
He Chongda shook his head, how can feeding cattle and horses be the same?
"Second brother, do you think Dahuang runs fast, or does Big Brother's horse run fast?" He Chongsan looked at He Chonger curiously and asked.
"Of course, my brother's horse ran fast!" He Chonger affirmed.
"But why do I feel that Dahuang is running fast?" He Chongsan remembered the scene of Erya riding Dahuang in the back mountain, riding so fast.
"I also think Dahuang runs very fast."
Listening to the words of his younger brothers, He Chongda pulled the corners of his mouth a few times.
He remembered that Erya once asked him if it was her cow or his horse. He thought Erya was young and ignorant, but he didn't expect that even his younger brothers would have such strange ideas.
After all, no matter how fast a cow is, it is not as fast as a horse. Does this still need to be compared?
In the evening, He Qianhu went home after work. When he saw He Chongda come back, he had an unconcealable pride on his face. He patted He Chongda's shoulder and smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's much stronger."
He Chongda laughed, and the whole family sat around the table to prepare for dinner.
Because He Chongda came back, He specially slaughtered a big fat chicken, half of which was used to stir-fry and the other half for stewing soup, which made the boys of the He family who had never smelled the aroma of meat for a long time swallowed their saliva.
"You finally came back and eat more." He loved to pick up a chicken leg and put it in He Chongda's bowl.
"No need, mom. I often eat meat in the yamen. I should give these chicken legs to my younger brothers." He Chongda refused. He did not tell any lies. The food in the yamen is really good. Every day, except for breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is meat.
"Brother, we won't eat it, we will eat it for you, we will eat chicken." Several younger brothers shook their heads.
"Then give it to my father. My father often works, and it's hard enough. He should give it to his chicken legs." He Chongda had to clip the big chicken legs in the bowl to He Qianhu without thinking.
"You kid, you have two chicken legs, how could you lose your father's?" He said angrily.
"Mom often takes care of her family and is very tired. Of course, that chicken legs are left for her to eat." He Chongda laughed.
He felt warm in his heart. Her eldest son has been sensible and filial since he was a child.
After pushing and giving, He Qianhu finally made a decision: "Okay, okay, it's just a chicken leg. If your mother calls you, you can eat it. What are you so polite?"
He Chongda had no choice but to eat the chicken legs, "Yes, Dad, I'm going to Uncle Niu's house tomorrow morning."
"Well, your Uncle Niu has been kind to our family, especially to you. You really have to say something to him when you come back." He Qianhu nodded.
He had no objection, and asked He Chongda to leave early and told her that she had some souvenirs for He Chongda to take with her.
Early the next morning, He Chongda came to Niu Dali's house with some fruits and a big hen.
"You kid comes here, why do you bring things here?" Li Xianglan blamed.
"It was my mother who asked me to bring it." He Chongda refused Li Xianglan and handed the fruits and fruits to Li Xianglan.
Li Xianglan shook her head and welcomed He Chongda into the house.
"Aunt Lan, Uncle Niu, Da Ya, Er Ya and the others?" He Chongda said in confusion.
