Selena was a shock and looked up at Surdak in some confusion.

Surdak gave me a wry smile. "I didn’t say that I should leave you alone … I meant that we should all give each other a little so that we can get to know each other well. After all, there is still a long way to go, and I have to talk about old Sheila and Natasha. You know my family situation, and their ideas are also important to me …"
Looking at Surdak’s disappearing village road, Selena raised her neck slightly at home.
Her beautiful eyes are a little cold, as if a ray of hope has risen, and her lips are slightly sexy, and a slight arc has been raised.
……
What side dishes do you need to drink a bowl of sweet and delicious chestnut rice porridge? My Sweetie chestnut rice porridge will consciously slide down the throat into the stomach. Surdak will sink his head into a big wooden bowl to avoid the eyes of old Sheila, Rita and Natasha …
Chapter 257 Old Sheila Dream
Little Peter stole some dried meat and scones during the day. The dried meat was a little salty and drank a lot of water after eating it, which made him feel a little bloated and noisy for a long time before lying in the arms of old Sheila and falling asleep.
The family sat quietly around the dining table, and Surdak felt a little uneasy that he might be tried by his family.
There are also some apples and Li in the table and a candle to set the table. Occasionally wax oil will break through the oil pool and slide down like tears.
Old Sheila saw that the candle was too bright, so she felt a little distressed. She burned a candle and quickly put her finger into the candle to pinch off the wick in the flame. The light in the room became dim. She was dissatisfied with Rita’s taking out a candle instead of lighting the oil lamp and thought it was a wave.
Previously, there were very few oil lamps in the house, but the atmosphere was a little dull at the moment. Old Sheila didn’t scold Rita.
The candlelight reflected the wrinkles on old Sheila’s face, but her face was much better than before, with a layer of oil less.
"… you shouldered the friendship of Ducky, and came to our home to help us through the difficulties in front of us. Our hearts are full of thanks," said old Sheila, pouring out. Then she took another look at Surdak and went on to say.
"Supposedly … who do you want to marry? That’s your power. We naturally interfere, but you take a fancy to Selena. I, an old woman, have to say a few more words with you. I hope that you should carefully consider Selena. Some strange things have been happening around her since she married in our village. It’s not that everyone slanders her, but that many people who have been close to her in recent years have suddenly died. She may bring you all kinds of disasters."
Old Sheila said these words to the point. Surdak rubbed his nose and explained to old Sheila, "I think maybe some things are coincidences. Of course, I’m not denying anything. I saw Signa at the entrance of the village the other day and thought she was too young. If the two clerks took Selena away, maybe Signa would become an orphan in the village."
Surdak took a look at the sleeping little Peter and said, "She is different from his children. She is too dependent on Dana. If she really wants to leave her in the village of Wall, she may have a hard life or she may not live. I want to help. I think if Dudak did, he would do the same. That’s how he pulled me out of the corpse and gave me a new life."
Rita said with an apple in her hand, "I heard Sandy say that Selena can do witchcraft. Once she saw Selena quietly praying to the moon in her room …"
Old Sheila glared at Rita.
“……”
Surdak didn’t know what to say at the moment.
Old Sheila gently stroked little Peter’s forehead, and there was a glow of love in her eyes. She said with emotion, "Recently, I often dream of Duck. He just smiled at me in the clouds as before. He asked me how Peter, Natasha and Rita have been doing recently. I have been thinking about some things these days. Since Duck has completely left us for another country, we can’t let him worry that we should live a better life."
Old Sheila looked through the window into the darkness.
Her eyes sparkled with hope and said, "It is my greatest wish to see little Peter grow up healthily."
Then she paused again and said, "Of course Rita can save a dowry and find someone to rely on to live happily. Don’t live so hard after Natasha. It’s not easy to pull a child. What’s worse, you are still so young …"
Rita blushed immediately, and she was a little embarrassed to hold the apple in her hand.
Natasha, on the other hand, bowed her head like a quail
At this moment Rita couldn’t help asking, "Were you intimidated by the census takers at the City Hall when Dad died?"
Old Sheila curled her lips slightly and said, "Old Sur died just in the year when Duck attended the bar mitzvah. Who wants an old woman who is going to lie in a coffin?" Say that finish hand a ruler Rita head ruthlessly knocked a..
Old Sheila looked at Surdak, put little Peter’s hand in his rough hand and said to Surdak
"Since Peter Jr. is nominally your son and likes this child very much and is willing to bring him up, and Natasha is also your nominal wife, and she is destined to live with us, and she really needs a support, will you marry her?"
"I …" Surdak didn’t know how to answer. After a pause, he said, "I will take good care of her generation."
There is a kind of wisdom in old Sheila’s eyes. She looked at Surdak’s expression and said seriously, "It’s not the kind of person who stutters casually. It’s enough to have a shelter from the wind and rain and clothes to keep out the cold. Everyone will yearn for a happier life …"
Surdak didn’t expect old Sheila to say these things, but he hasn’t thought about them seriously yet.
He hesitated and worried that silence for too long would also hurt Natasha. He could bite the bullet and say with some guilt, "It’s not fair to Natasha. I hope she can have a choice herself?"
"Then what is fair? What choice can she have? " Old Sheila was a little aggressive, and then she asked Natasha across the street, "Natasha, what do you think?"
Natasha didn’t expect old Sheila to discuss these tonight, and she said blankly, "I haven’t thought about these …"
Old Sheila took a look at Natasha with some hatred, and said earnestly, "Sometimes you have to fight for something that belongs to you, and some things won’t give you too many choices. You are just lucky …"
Natasha blushed and looked up at Surdak and didn’t know what to say at the moment.
……
There is sulfur ore next to it, which smells a little pungent. The old village head measured it for a long time and finally gave up measuring how big it is.
When Charlie took out a fist-sized sulphur ore caravan leader, he took out three silver coins to buy it. So now the sulphur ore in the canvas pocket is a hundred times less than that ore. The old village head knows that these must be worth a lot of money.
Five young people who went to mine sulfur mines all smashed the old village head’s living room bench. Surdak and the old village head sat in separate chairs opposite them.
The wife of the old village head came out to make some lemon tea and a plate of boiled chestnuts for everyone.
"Are we going to sell these to the caravan?" Charley said with some excitement
Surdak frowned slightly. He glanced at the old village head and said, "I think it is very necessary for the caravan to establish good trade, but we can’t take out so many sulfur mines as soon as we travel. I think they will calculate the approximate scope of the sulfur mines according to our trip. It is still a main land. I am worried that if others find that open-pit mine, there may be more people competing with us for resources there."
"So we’d better take out some sulfur mines to make those businessmen think that we can find sulfur mines and it’s not worth their effort to find them …"
Chapter 25 Ownership
Surdak put a very scrawled hand-drawn map on the desktop, and the lines were messy.
Pointing to a triangular mark, he said, "I have explored that area, which is not as big as the river bend and tidal flat, and all sulfur mines are accompanied by stalagmites exposed on the surface. Some sulfur mines are difficult to collect and must have some quarrying tools."
Charley and several other young people also said noisily
"Well, that’s right!"
"At that time, we found several large sulfur mines in stalagmites, but unfortunately we couldn’t pry them."
"If we go again this time, we’ll bring enough guys."
The old village chief waved his hand. "I’m not worried that every year after the harvest festival, people in the village will go to Tazewang quarry to be masons for a few months. Quarrying and mining sulfur mines in their mountains should be similar to digging marble."
The old village head snapped a cigarette and said to Surdak, "The boys in our village may not have anything else, but there is absolutely no problem in asking them to make efforts."
"This matter must be done as soon as possible," the old village chief said to the children around him. "Charlie, please inform everyone to get ready tonight. You are willing to leave tomorrow and don’t want to go. Don’t force yourself to find those who have quarrying experience."
Charlie got up from the bench and strode out.
The old village chief said to his nephew Luke, "Luke, you should go to Beigou Grassland later and get the horses ready."
Luke nodded to his three companions and said, "You have to help me drive those horses out of the pasture. Someone must help me!" "
The three young people also readily agreed to come when they heard that they were going to Beigou Grassland.
The old village chief said to Surdak, "Let’s gather 20 masons to ride to Pubao Mountain and wait for the first batch of sulfur mines to be sent back before transporting the young people and materials in the village."
Then he stared at Luke and three other young people with a serious expression and said in a threatening tone, "The news of the sulfur mine can’t be revealed to anyone. If anyone doesn’t keep his mouth shut, don’t blame him for breaking his legs."
Luke and the three young people put away their smirked expressions and nodded with silence.
It seems that the old village head has accumulated enough prestige in front of these people at ordinary times, and his words are also very weighty
