Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 4

Not long after, the puppy led a toddling little girl out.Su Zhian reached out and pinched the little girl's face: "Ewha, call me brother."

The little girl was only about two or three years old, and she was mumbled a little too hard to hear clearly. After calling Su Zhian, she rushed over to grab Su Qinghe's hand again, very affectionately.So Su Qinghe guessed that they used to play together a lot in the past.

"I called Xiaohu and the others just now, but you are the only one at home. Why, didn't your parents bring pear flowers to the field today?" Su Zhian asked curiously. During the busy farming season, all the children, big and small, have to go to the field. Yes, even if you can't do farming, you can still do some light work.

For example, when howing peanuts, everyone hoes out the peanut seedlings in front, and the children can hold the peanut seedlings in the back to shake off the clods of soil underneath, and pick up the fallen peanuts by the way.

Therefore, children in rural areas hardly have time to come out to play when the farming season is busy.
The little dog sighed like an adult: "You don't know, our family has already collected half of the peanuts. My grandma insisted, let's go over and help my uncle's house collect peanuts. Naturally, my parents are reluctant to let me go with Lihua. suffer, so we will not let the two of us pass by."

Su Zhi'an was very surprised: "Your grandma is so biased? Then if the two of you don't go, won't your grandma be unhappy?"

"Why is she unhappy? My little aunt is much older than me, so why don't you go to the fields?" Xiaogouzi said very unhappy, and then passed by the door of a house, shouting loudly: "Yang Zi, go to the river to play son."

Said, stood at the door and waited for a while.Not long after, a gentle little boy ran out of the yard, holding a long fishing rod in his hand: "Okay, I was going to go fishing, hey, neither Zhi An nor Qing He went to the ground today." , is Qinghe cured?"

Before Su Qinghe had time to speak, Su Zhian said from the sidelines: "Okay, let's go quickly, Yang Zi, when your parents came back and saw that you didn't study, they wouldn't scold us?"

"No, I won't let them scold you." Yang Zi waved his hand, said generously, and stuffed Su Qinghe a small paper bag: "Here, Qinghe, this is the candy my elder brother brought from the town, it's so sweet, You try it."

Su Qinghe smiled obediently and nodded: "Thank you Brother Yang Zi."

Yang Zi looked surprised: "What did Qing He call me just now?" As he said that, he turned to Su Zhian: "Qing He didn't have a fever and burned his brain, did he? Tsk tsk, didn't they always call Yang Zi after you before? Today How did you learn to call him Brother Yang Zi?"

Su Qinghe pouted: "Isn't that because brother Yang Zi gave me candy?"

Yang Zi was taken aback for a moment, and then he burst out laughing, while the little dog urged them, "Hurry up, I have to go to the field to bring hot water to my parents at noon, Zhi'an, don't you need to bring water?"

Su Qinghe turned her head and saw Lihua biting her finger and looking eagerly at the paper bag in her hand, she hurriedly passed the paper bag over: "Come on, little sister Lihua, call me, and I'll give you candy when you call."

Lihua let out a soft cry, Su Qinghe quickly opened the paper bag, took out the light yellow candy inside, stuffed it into Lihua's mouth, and asked with a smile, "Is it sweet?"

Lihua nodded obediently, grabbed Su Qinghe's clothes with her small hands, and followed the three boys to the small river.The three little boys in the front were chattering, while Su Qinghe in the back was pulling Li Hua while summarizing the news she had heard.

It didn't take long to reach the small river.Yang Zi took the lead in finding a place: "I'm going to fish here, you go and pick up duck eggs, but don't bother me, or the fish will run away and I won't go around you."

The little dog laughed loudly: "Okay, then let's go pick up duck eggs. Lihua, come, go with brother."

Lihua responded with a sound and followed the puppy, Su Qinghe followed Su Zhian spontaneously, Su Zhian picked up a reed stalk from the river, picked it here and there among the reeds, and kept telling Su Qinghe: "Little He, you have to keep an eye on it, we are going to pick up a few more duck eggs today."

"Second brother, shall we also fish? Duck eggs are too hard to find." Su Qinghe said on the side, Su Zhian pouted: "I don't know how to fish, I don't have that patience, little girl, didn't you also like fishing before?"

"I didn't like it before, but it doesn't mean I don't like it now." Su Qinghe tugged at Su Zhian's sleeve and looked up at him: "Now that the weather is cold, the wild ducks are not coming. There must be very few duck eggs, so it's better to go fishing. , or shall we find a fishing net to catch fish?"

"It's so stupid, the two of us can't pull the fishing net at all." Su Zhian poked Su Qinghe's forehead, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Su Qinghe said was quite reasonable. There are indeed a lot fewer wild ducks at the moment. After searching for a while, you can find several duck eggs, but now I can't find one for a long time.

"Then let's go fishing, let Yang Zi teach me, and I can catch more fish in the future." Su Zhian clapped his hands, and threw the reed in his hand aside, Su Qinghe happily followed, she knew it, Su Zhian Is a restless.If she also went fishing with her, she would definitely talk to that Yang Zi or something, and she would be able to take the opportunity to find out more.

This Yang Zi seems to have a good family background, so he should know a lot about the affairs of the town, right?
"Ah, no, you can't go fishing." Before Su Qinghe was happy for more than 3 minutes, Su Zhian slapped his head and said, "We don't have a fishing rod, so we can't fish. We should find duck eggs."

The corners of Su Qinghe's mouth twitched: "Second brother, you are too stupid. If you don't have a fishing rod, why don't we make one? Isn't this reed just long enough?"

Su Zhi'an squinted at her: "You're stupid. The fishing rod is the easiest. Of course I have a way, but can you get a hook? You need a wire. Our family has it, but it takes a long time to get it." Bring it over, it's too much effort."

Su Qinghe was about to fight back, when she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her, although she was called Second Brother, was actually just a child of eight or nine years old, and she was in her 20s, yet she was still arguing with children!
"Okay, then go pick up duck eggs." Su Qinghe said reluctantly, but Su Zhian was a little puzzled: "Little sister, you are very strange today, you didn't like Yang Zi before, but today you not only call him brother Yang Zi, And go fishing with him."

Su Qinghe frowned: "I didn't go fishing with him, didn't I go fishing with my second brother?"

Su Zhian didn't believe it, he looked suspicious: "Then why do you have to go there?"

Su Qinghe rolled her eyes: "You don't know how, didn't you say it yourself, do you want to learn fishing from brother Yang Zi?" After finishing speaking, before Su Zhian could speak again, he continued: "By the way, second brother, you have been to the town in?"

"I've been there, haven't you been there too?" Su Zhi'an said as he walked forward, "Every year after the family harvests the peanuts, they have to send them to the town for sale. After eating peanuts, I bought meatloaf, which is really delicious.”

Su Qinghe took the opportunity to ask: "Aside from meatloaf, are there other delicious things in town?"

Su Zhi'an thought for a while and said: "There are many, many more. Didn't Yang Zi's brother open a grocery store in the town? He often brought Yang Zi delicious things back, including pastries and other things. My son brought a chicken drumstick, which was also delicious."

Su Qinghe asked all kinds of questions in such a calm manner, Su Zhian was not puzzled, but thought that the little girl hadn't been to the town for a long time, so she was curious.

"Little sister, if you want to go to the town, we can go after a few days." Su Zhian patted his chest and promised, "Second Brother will buy you something delicious when the time comes."

"Second brother, do you have money?" Su Qinghe asked with blinking eyes, Su Zhian was taken aback, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "No, but parents must have it, you can buy a lot of things if you ask them for two copper coins .”

Su Qinghe rolled her eyes twice, grabbed Su Zhian's arm: "Second brother, do you want to study?"

Su Zhi'an shook his head: "It's okay, but our family has no money, we can't afford pens and inks, and there is Shu Xiu. Besides, elder brother likes reading more than I do. If you have money, let elder brother study."

Su Qinghe said with a smile: "Let's get some things that are not available in the town and sell them in the town, and then make money so that elder brother can go to school, okay?"

Su Zhi'an looked at Su Qinghe in surprise, for a long time, almost didn't see Su Qinghe in a cold sweat, nodded for a long time and said: "Little sister's idea is very good, I didn't expect it! But, what is there in the town? where?"

After all, he was young and hadn't seen many things before, so Su Zhi'an thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of anything that wasn't available in the town.

"Ah, there is a duck egg." On the other hand, Su Qinghe's eyes were better, and after Su Zhian's reed pole swung past, a few round duck eggs appeared on the ground, and she cried out in surprise in an instant.

Su Zhian was also happy, quickly pulled out the cloth bag from the back of his waist, and picked up all the duck eggs: "We are lucky, haha, there are actually five! We can eat one each when we go back. Look again, if you can still find it, my mother will definitely happy."

Su Qinghe also nodded with a smile, probably because there was a good start, and the luck of the two brothers and sisters was also very good. In one morning, they actually picked up more than ten duck eggs.Su Zhi'an couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, and when he walked home, he was always jumping.

When Su Zhian started to think about how to eat these duck eggs, Su Qinghe suddenly remembered, it seems that the original preserved eggs were found directly in the ashes, right?In this era, are there preserved eggs?
Su Qinghe didn't dare to ask, but she couldn't bear to give up this great opportunity.If it is done well, this will become her first pot of gold.In the future, if the family wants to improve their lives, there will be dawn.
