Chapter 54

If it weren't for the difficulty of finding stones here, she would have wanted to build a stone house, which could not be burned or knocked down.

Or go to Shi County to settle down?

Zhou Qiqi rubbed his chin, Shi County is full of stone mountains, nothing but stones are stones, there is no fear that there will be no stones to use.

It is too barren, there is not much land, and it is difficult to go hunting.

The tall and continuous stone mountains form a natural barrier, like a big foot basin. If you want to hunt, you have to go around for two or three days, or climb over the high stone mountains.

It seems that it is not cost-effective to go to Shi County to settle down for Shitou.

Ugh!
"Actually, the earthen house is pretty good, it saves trouble." Si Luo muttered in a low voice.

"roll."

Si Luo shrunk his neck, and flinched again. He dragged three bamboos and hurried away.

It's useless to blame him, I can't afford a carpenter.

After walking a few steps, she stopped, turned her head and asked, "Qiqi, you said if I opened a private school, would anyone come to study?"

Zhou Qiqi sneered: "But for those who are exiled, they are not allowed to take examinations for fame within three generations, and they are not allowed to enter the court as officials. Do you think anyone will study with you?"

Shiloh:  …

Useless is a scholar.

It's better to pull out his beard obediently, he is destined to be a man with a bad face and soft food.

After walking a few more steps, still unwilling to give up, he threw the bamboo on the ground and ran back again.

"If I have the opportunity to leave Heishui County, will I have the opportunity to be a teacher?" Si Luo looked at her expectantly.

"Do you have a chance to leave?" Zhou Qiqi asked back.

Siro (⊙o⊙)...

"Forget it, you pretend I didn't say anything." Si Luo looked aggrieved, turned his head and ran away, and then turned his grief and anger into strength, dragging three bamboos and running fast.

As soon as Si Luo left, Zhou Qiqi's face darkened, kicked the bamboo, turned around and jumped into the river...

Uh, it's fishing.

She is not in a hurry to build the bamboo house now, and will hire someone to do it after the busy farming season, mainly because she is afraid that she will be burned as soon as it is built.

When it gets dark, the birds return to their nests.

When people who were tired all day came back from the fields, they heard the news that the Si family would collect three hundred old wood and bamboo for three pennies each.The wood and bamboo itself is more than this money, but the wood and bamboo in the village are not allowed to be sold, so the three Wen is just labor costs.

But I have a lot of literacy. These days I go out to find work, and I can only get a catty of rice after a hard day, which is still old rice.

This is still good, some only give half a catty of rice.

A catty of old rice costs seven cents.

Dianthus is a bit more difficult to cut, but it is not too difficult. It is not a problem to cut dozens of them a day.It's a pity that the Si family only accepts three hundred sticks, otherwise they could earn one or two hundred coins.

The children of the Si family came back wearing torn straw hats and covered in mud, staring straight at Zhou Qiqi.

Zhou Qiqi saw gold and greed in their eyes.

"Where did you get the money?" Si Chen still couldn't hold back his mouth.

"Sell it to you." Zhou Qiqi glanced at him, she didn't like the look in the brat's eyes, compared with his three younger brothers and sisters, it was more sinister, like the long-horned green snake that she killed .

Several children were stunned, their eyes widened, and their faces were terrified.

When Si Luo saw it, he immediately felt distressed.

"Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense, she deliberately frightened you to play." He quickly explained, and added another sentence, "Your aunt is the kindest, how could she do such a thing."

He silently added in his heart: It's just a little fierce.

The children turned to look at him, their eyes full of suspicion.

Uncle, is there any misunderstanding?Ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know that she, Zhou Qiqi, is fierce and vicious, and does she have anything to do with kindness?
Zhou Qiqi brought out a zongzi, half of the pot of zongzi he bought before was left uneaten.This will have been cold, but the taste has not changed, and it still tastes good.

While eating, he looked at them with interest.

It doesn't matter if the child is a bear, as long as he doesn't treat him as his own child, he won't feel sad.

The fourth child was so hungry that his stomach was growling. He had never eaten zongzi when he was so old. Seeing the zongzi slurping, he really wanted to eat it, but he didn't dare to reach out to snatch it.

Zhou Qiqi heard the sound of saliva dripping on the ground, and turned her head to see his embarrassing appearance, but thinking about his lack of intelligence, she endured it.

After thinking about it, I took a zongzi and handed it over.

The fourth child's eyes lit up, as if there were stars, and he took the rice dumpling without peeling the skin, just took a bite.

Chew together with the zong leaves, it seems to be quite fragrant.

Zhou Qiqi: ...

I almost thought that the zongzi leaves were delicious, so I couldn't resist taking a bite.

Gollum!

The first and third children swallowed, the meat dumplings smelled delicious even if they were cold, and they were about to be eaten away.

Zhou Qiqi glanced at them, but didn't give them any, with bright partial eyes.

I don't know if it's because his brain is not very bright, but the fourth child never takes the initiative to harm her, and every time he takes action against her, the eldest and second child instigate him.

Otherwise, even if she opened his ass, he would accept it honestly. Although he didn't kiss her, he wouldn't feel hatred.

Si Yuan stared at Zhou Qiqi, looked her up and down, made sure that there was no possibility of a third rice dumpling hidden on her body, turned around and ran into the cottage.

If you can't see it, you won't be too hungry.

what! ! !
As a result, less than ten seconds after running into the house, he suddenly screamed loudly.

Si Chen's complexion changed, and he rushed in without caring about what he just asked.

The two younger ones followed closely, Si Luo didn't know what to think of, and also got up and walked towards the thatched cottage.

"How can there be a child?"

"He's so good-looking, and he's still shining. Is he a fairy boy?"

"It looks familiar, like my aunt."

"Little aunt."

……

The four children looked around Zhou Xu, their eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing Si Luo coming in after him, he quickly asked, "Uncle, whose family is this little brother?"

Si Luo covered his chest, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Your aunt's... Well, it's ours."

The daughter-in-law is his, and the child is naturally his, so it's not a loss.

Except for Si Chen, they didn't quite understand the meaning of Si Luo's words, but seeing that the child looked very similar to their aunt, they thought it was born to their uncle and aunt, which meant they were their real cousins.

Thinking about it this way, the eyes are... not very friendly.

They don't like younger brothers and sisters at all. This family is already poor enough, and they don't want another younger brother to compete with them for food.

San Xiao's face collapsed, subconsciously raised his head to look at their big dog-headed military division brother brother.

"Uncle, is he your own?" Si Chen asked calmly.

"...Yes." Si Luo hesitated for a long time, thinking that he would be raised as a relative anyway, so he simply lied.

As a result, as soon as the lie was told, it was rejected.

Si Chen's face was ugly: "You are talking nonsense, he is not your own at all, he is clearly a wild..."

Before he could say the word 'kind', he was hit in the mouth by a rice dumpling.
