What did you say? Am I a pauper again?

Chapter 71 Going Home
Jing Yuanzhi's trip was well worth it. He only went to Qiu Yang's house and sold out all the meat.

I went out and bought a few meat buns, and also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few kilograms of flour before going back.

I came back a little late. When I got home, Xiao Song Yan sat obediently at the door, her eyes were red and she couldn't shed tears.

When I saw Jing Yuanzhi coming back, I burst into tears.

"Sister, where...have you been?"

While crying, he ran to Jing Yuanzhi and hugged her tightly, for fear that she would disappear again.

Jing Yuanzhi looked at the little guy and felt a little guilty. She didn't expect to come back so late last night.

"My sister forgot to tell Yanyan. I'm sorry, Yanyan. It won't be like this next time. Let's go inside first and my sister bought you good things."

"Really... Hier~ Really?" Xiao Songyan hugged Jing Yuanzhi's legs and raised his head to look at her.

A pair of beautiful big eyes were wet, and the little mouth was curled up, looking extremely pitiful.

"Of course it's true. Let's go home. Sister will give you something good!" Jing Yuanzhi felt even more guilty when he saw Xiao Song Yan like this, feeling that what he had done was a bit too much.

"Yeah, Yanyan believes in sister." In fact, Song Yan just thought that his sister didn't want him anymore, that's why he was so sad.

The adults in the village told him that his sister would get married sooner or later, and when she got married, she would belong to another family.

Song Yan thought his sister was getting married. He didn't want her to get married, didn't want her to disown him and become a member of another family, and didn't want to be separated from her.

Jing Yuanzhi took Song Yan back to the house and took out the meat buns he bought, "Look, my sister went to sell things in the county, so she came back a little late."

Song Yan took the meat buns. Although they were very fragrant, he was not in a hurry to eat them. Instead, he looked at Jing Yuanzhi worriedly, "Sister, where did you get the money to buy the meat buns?"

Although Song Yan didn't know exactly how much money his family had, it was definitely not enough to buy so many meat buns.

There are several more wrapped in oil paper in Jingyuan's arms.

Jing Yuanzhi touched Song Yan's head lovingly and said, "Don't worry about this. My sister recently picked up a book and learned some things from it. She knew some basic herbal medicines. She just dug these herbs and sold them to her. Only the supply and marketing cooperative has the money to buy meat buns."

As Jing Yuanzhi spoke, he took out the book from his pocket and showed it to Xiao Song Yan.

Song Yan was illiterate, but he still opened the book and read it.

"Wow, there are pictures in it!" Song Yan looked at the lifelike herbs painted in the book in surprise.

"Well, Yanyan, do you want to learn to read? My sister can teach you."

"Sister, is she literate?" Song Yan has never seen Song Yu go to school since she can remember, so she doesn't know if she can read or not.

"Of course, my sister went to school for a period of time when she was a child. She knows all the words on it." The original person did go to school when she was a child, but after her parents died, she never went there again.

Song Yan looked at her with bright eyes when he heard this, "I want to learn!"

Song Yan envied those children who could go to school. He didn't know what school was like, but most of the children in the village went to school, and he wanted to go too.

But he knew that the situation at his home was different from that of others, so even if he wanted to go there again, he never said it.

Now that I heard that my sister was going to teach me how to read, I was naturally very excited.

"Okay, my sister will teach you how to read when you have free time." Jing Yuanzhi looked at Song Yan in front of him and said.

Song Yan is now six years old, just old enough to be sent to school.

It’s just that I didn’t earn a lot of money today, just over thirty yuan.

She had to make some more money.

The two of them ate the delicious meat buns before slowly going to work.

She was a little late, but Jing Yuanzhi told Uncle Liu that she was not feeling well today.

Jingyuan Yi didn't sleep at night and had been running around for so long. His face looked a little bad even if it was smeared with clay.

So Uncle Liu didn't care about this. The work assigned to them both today was much less than yesterday.

Jing Yuanzhi felt a little weak while holding a hoe in the field.

She did it as slowly as possible, fearing that she might die suddenly in the ground.

Song Yan also knew that her sister didn't get enough rest and worked very hard, so she wanted her sister to rest more.

Jingyuan's tasks today are still the same: weeding, throwing away manure, and covering with soil.

In the morning, I worked for a while and rested for a while, and the progress was at a slow pace.

At noon, Jiang Feng came over to pick up the manure. When he saw that only half of the field had been hoeed, he knew that the person in front of him was not in a good state.

Pour the manure neatly on the ground. The land is not big, so you can pick the manure once.

"Brother Jiang." Song Yan saw Jiang Feng coming, walked to Jiang Feng's side, raised his head and called out.

"Yeah." Jiang Feng touched Song Yan's head.

Looking at Jing Yuanzhi, "Give me the hoe."

Jing Yuanzhi glanced at him a few times and handed the hoe over.

Jiang Feng picked up the hoe and started working, much faster than Jing Yuanzhi.

Song Yan looked at Brother Jiang who was immersed in his work, and then at his sister standing aside. She was a little confused, but she still bent down and diligently picked up the hoeed grass and threw it together.

Jing Yuanzhi was really a little weak, and he even broke out in a cold sweat.

I found a shady place to sit and rest.

She is not the kind of person to show off and knows what her body is like.

Soon, Jiang Feng had finished hoeing the grass in this field.

It wasn't time for lunch yet.

He also sat over, but at a distance from Jingyuan.

Song Yan went over and sat between the two people.

"Brother Jiang, can you teach me martial arts this afternoon?"

Jiang Feng looked at Xiao Song Yan sitting next to him, with a smile in his eyes, and touched his head, "Okay."

Seeing Jiang Feng agree, Song Yan smiled happily.

After sitting for a while, it was time to eat.

The three of them went to the cafeteria together.

In fact, it was not because she was afraid that Jiang Feng would notice something, but Jingyuan wanted Song Yan to bring her food and then sleep in the ground for a while.

She was so sleepy that she felt a little out of breath even when walking.

Jiang Feng glanced at her a few times but said nothing.

Song Yan walked between the two of them, very happy.

I was very excited when I thought that I could learn martial arts from Brother Jiang this afternoon.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Jiang Feng quickened his pace and walked in front of Jingyuan and the others, separated by a distance.

Jing Yuanzhi knew it was to avoid suspicion and was afraid that people in the village would gossip.

So, she also took Song Yan towards another window to get food.

After eating, Jing Yuanzhi had no appetite and the soup was watery.

Pour some to Song Yan.

Song Yan looked at her sister in surprise, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay. I have a bad appetite today and don't really want to eat. Yanyan eat more."

Song Yan glanced at her worriedly and asked, "Sister, did you not sleep well last night, and that's why you're in poor health now?"

"Sister, it's okay. You'll be fine in a while." Jing Yuanzhi smiled and touched Song Yan's fluffy hair.

After eating, the two went to the fields.

As soon as they arrived in the field, Song Yan asked Jing Yuanzhi to rest, and even got some particularly large leaves to spread on the ground for her to let her sleep for a while.

Jing Yuanzhi didn't want to, he wanted to finish the work in the fields and go back to rest early.

But Song Yan was very insistent this time, "Sister, you have to rest. Your face looks very bad. I'm afraid something will happen to you."

"Okay." Jing Yuanzhi had no choice but to compromise.

She was so sleepy that she fell asleep before she even had time to think about it.
