Chapter 886 Asking for Directions (14)
Xuan Zhenmian picked up the rice wrapped in millet skins, peeled off the skins, and lowered his voice: "If you want to buy it, I don't want any money."
Bai Tang smiled and said: "Haven't you heard a sentence? What is given for free will not be cherished."
Xuan Zhenmian coughed slightly: "Well... I want money."
He immediately said: "I have the strength, and we are together. I won't let you go hungry."
Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. Girls, in such a chaotic era when many people are poor, marry so that they can live a better life in the future. Men are naturally strong and are very good laborers.
Bai Tang snorted and said rather arrogantly: "I will not choose a man who only makes me not hungry."
Xuan Zhenmian readily accepted: "Yes, people must have pursuits. I will not let you go hungry, nor will I let you freeze. You have the final say on everything in the house. I will also work hard to make money and buy beautiful clothes and jewelry." Here you go, dress you up beautifully."
Will she feel frivolous?
Bai Tang shook his head: "No, except for food and drink, all the money will be used to buy guns and ammunition. An An will not survive for a few years, or even two years."
Xuan Zhenmian nodded immediately: "Okay."
After lighting the fire, Bai Tang collected the broken rice with him: "How old are you this year? I'm twenty-five."
Xuan Zhenmian: "Twenty-three, not much different. Tang, from the looks of you, you used to live in the countryside, right?"
Bai Tang did not deny: "I am from the countryside, a farmer, with his back to the loess and his face to the sky, digging and running around every day. Before he was forced to come to Haiqing to survive, Ben's family was a family of eight. His younger brother died on the road, and his mother came to I am not accustomed to the climate and climate here, and diseases come and go like a mountain."
Xuan Zhenmian said distressedly: "We have a family of eight. Tang, you are the eldest sister. You are the most miserable and tired one among the six children."
"I used to live in a rural area. At that time, my family's life was pretty good and we didn't suffer much. At that time, I saw children of my size carrying huge baskets of millet on their backs."
"At that time, I knew that there was nothing that could be done about the children from poor families who had already become the masters. The mouths in the family were still waiting for food. How could they be allowed to play? Especially the eldest brother had to take care of the younger brothers and sisters. "
Xuan Zhenmian glanced at Bai Shanxi who was sitting, and lowered his voice: "Tang, your father probably doesn't do housework. I even took a look to see how much rice was left in the jar, but he didn't even look at it. . You want to cook, but your two brothers are injured. My sister is not in the right mood right now, so I won’t tell you. Your father didn’t even ask to help. I just saw that your injuries haven’t healed yet!”
"Tang, your mother and you should have been doing the housework in the past. Your sister has never done much work at home. It's all because of years of hard work. You and your sister are obviously not much different in age. He looks much older than her."
Xuan Zhenmian has always been more careful, which is why he was able to survive alone and in exile until now.
Bai Tang nodded: "It's all right, but unfortunately, there is no reward."
Xuan Zhenmian hurriedly said: "What kind of reward do I want? Tang, I heard that those nobles eat bird's nests and drink milk to maintain their health. I will think of a way to get some for you."
Bai Tang shook his head: "It's not necessary. It's not worth spending money on this."
Xuan Zhenmian: "The flowers are with you..."
Bai Tang: "Zhen Mian, go out and take a look. There are ignorant and insensitive people everywhere, and oppression can be seen everywhere."
