Chapter 14

Erlang also smiled and patted Xiao Si's head, "Little Si is really smart, if only he can go to school, Xiao Si will definitely be able to be admitted to the scholar."

Jingyao didn't take Erlang's words, because she hasn't found a way to make money sustainably, and studying is a long-term investment, so she can't make any promises, and it will make people happy if they can't be realized by then.

But Erlang's words and Yuan's disclosure of old man Wang's expectation, all these have to make Jingyao reflect, she really needs to find a way to make money for the family quickly, and try to send her children to school as much as possible.Even if you can't take an official career, you can find some easy jobs in the future.

When the three brothers and sisters carried the big basket back to the entrance of the village, everyone in the village also got up.The chimneys of each family are also blowing curling green smoke, which makes this quiet village a piece of peace.

Along the way, I also met some neighbors who looked at the baskets carried by Jingyao and Erlang curiously.If it was just a basket full of wild vegetables, people would not pay much attention to it, but there were some water marks on the basket, so people had to take a second look.

Some people asked, and here was an aunt who asked, "Sanmei, what good things are in this basket? It's still dripping."

Jingyao remembered that this person was the one who gloated at other people's misfortune and made shit up with them when they fought with Xie Lazi yesterday.Later, after inquiring with Mrs. Yang, I realized that this was Li Wang's mother-in-law Huang, who often played with Xie Lazi, and she was also a person similar to Xie Lazi. It was true that people were divided into groups.

Faced with such a person, Erlang was unwilling to talk to him, Xiaosi also lowered his head and remained silent, and Jingyao didn't bother to talk to him, but there were other people beside him, so he couldn't seem too unreasonable, so he said flatly, "It's not just pigweed. , there are good things everywhere.”

Li Huangshi obviously didn't believe it, and squinted his eyes, "But why is it still dripping water?"

"The basket fell into the ditch."

"Then why is there no mud on the basket? This kid coaxed me again." Li Huangshi wanted to open the basket after speaking.

Yoshi, this is endless, "Auntie, you have eaten too much breakfast, and our sisters haven't eaten yet. Auntie stopped the way to invite us to your house for a meal? Invite someone to eat, Auntie Are you ready for fish?" What Jing Yao meant was that you are nosy when you are full, but they are still hungry.

"Yo, what this kid said is that after seeing a pigweed, you want to eat other people's food. If you don't show it, you won't watch it. It's amazing."

Pulling his face and humming, Li Huang turned around and left.Jingyao curled her lips in disdain, this kind of person is really enough, she just wanted to take advantage of others, stopped her basket early in the morning, made it clear that she wanted to see some good things and walked along, and didn't even look at her Anyone can take advantage of Wang Jingyao.

The three brothers and sisters didn't pay much attention to Li Huangshi's episode, but maybe they saw Jingyao choking Li Huangshi back, so no one came forward to ask anything.

Arriving at the gate of Wang's house smoothly, he ran into Dalang who was about to go to school, "Second brother, third sister, fourth brother, you are back." Seeing Erlang's small bodies holding a big basket, Dalang was a little embarrassed, His face was also red, and his head was slightly lowered.

Seeing this, Jingyao nodded secretly, this hall brother is not like Lu Shi nor Wang Dahu, he is a kind person.If he really becomes famous in the future, maybe he can really give them some protection. Of course, they need to establish a good relationship now.

"Big brother, are you going to the school? Have you brought pancakes?" Because the school is in a neighboring village, Da Lang dislikes wasting time when he comes back at noon, so he brings it for lunch every day. There is no microwave oven at this time, so he can only bring some pancakes. dry food.

"bring"

"Don't be in a hurry to eat pancakes at noon, I will deliver hot food and fish to big brother at noon."

Speaking of not giving Dalang a chance to react, he beckoned Erlang to enter the yard first.Putting down the basket, Jingyao rubbed her arms first. Pretending to be a little girl is really exhausting work. She almost choked to death when she yelled at her big brother twice. Acting cute and pretending to be young made her look like a 20-year-old It was really embarrassing for her to do it.

"What's wrong with Sanmei? Did you go out too early and get cold?"

Wang Sanhu bit the pancake and said to Jingyao.

"It's okay, third uncle hasn't left yet."

"Well, I made an agreement with the people in the neighboring village yesterday that he will drive the ox cart to the town today, and take me and your uncle for a ride later. Your grandma's rice is ready, so hurry up and eat."

"Um"

While the uncle and nephew were talking, Wang Dahu also came out with a piece of corn cake. He didn't say much when he saw Jingyao, he just smiled, and set off with Wang Sanhu to the entrance of the village to wait for the free ox cart.There is nothing to say about Uncle Jingyao. It is true that the world praises scholars so highly that they feel ashamed of everything they do.But there was one thing that Jingyao couldn't figure out. How could the uncle, who always thought highly of himself, do that kind of hard work with the third uncle this time? Is it just because the old man let him go?

Well, this is beyond her control, Jing Yao shook her head vigorously and stopped thinking about it.

Here, Xiaosi has already hurriedly pulled out the pigweed that covered it little by little, but it was not piled up together, so that there was a little bit here and there.

"Xiao Si, you are in a hurry to die. Look at the pigweed you got here and there. You can't pile it up properly."

Yuan Shi was already unhappy when she saw that the three brothers and sisters made such a basket of pigweed early in the morning, and now she saw this and that in Xiao Si's yard, and her temper came up again, and what she said It doesn't sound that good either.

But Xiaosi has long been used to his grandma's violent temper, so he continued to move his hands indifferently until all the solid pigweeds covered on it were removed, and then the basket pushed the net inside, even the fish slid out.

When Yuan Shi saw the two big silver carp rolled out with nets, his eyes immediately smiled.Even Xiaosi snorted twice and didn't say anything, just counting the number of fish on the ground.

Jing Yao pinched Xiao Si's shoulders, signaling him not to behave like this, because disobedience to elders is not only a crime in this era, but also affects reputation.

Seeing that Yuan Shi was about to reach out to pick out the fish in the net, Jing Yao frowned, pulled the fishing net and said, "Grandma, my hand was still fishy when I touched the fish earlier, so let me get it." Not wanting people to discover the fishing net she modified with embroidery needles, she took out two silver carp, poured the grass carp, shrimp and crab inside into the basin and the frame respectively, and counted seven grass carp weighing about half a catty.After thinking for a while, he said, "Grandma, first braise a few grass carp in brown sauce at noon, and wait for third uncle and the others to come back in the evening to get the rest."

"Let's wait until your uncle and the others come back at night, and put them in the water first." How can anyone eat alone?

Yuan Shi was not happy to do it, Xiaosi was not happy and Xiaowu was not happy, Xiaoliu was even more straightforward: "Eat fish, eat fish."

 Ask for collection, ask for tickets, ask for comments, hehehehehe
