From Cultivator to Widow

After appreciating his younger brother's anxious appearance, Zhang Baoguo turned to the back.

"Okay, stop teasing you, what do you want me to see?"

Zhang Weiguo was waiting for his words, and immediately turned to the position he knew by heart, and pointed it to him: "Brother, look here."

Looking at his name, Zhang Baoguo smiled: "Your draft is over, congratulations, keep up the good work!"

He gave a sincere smile.

He was really happy for his brother.

"Come on, let me see which one it is." He had read all the articles written by Zhang Weiguo, but he didn't know which one had been written without reading it.

"It turned out to be this one. The wording in this one is a bit immature, but I didn't expect this one to pass."

Zhang Weiguo laughed: "I didn't expect it, my mother said it was childish."

And: "We went to Grandpa's place after dinner. I want to tell Grandpa the good news!" At that time, the article written by my eldest brother and mother was published in the newspaper. Grandpa and the others were very happy and showed off many times. This time he also wanted to Take it.

He also wanted them to praise him, hehehe.

Although he didn't say it clearly, that's what he meant, looking at his dark and smug expression.

Zhang Baoguo rubbed his hair fiercely, crumpling his hair into a chicken coop.

"Okay, let's go to Grandpa's place after dinner and tell him about the happy event."

This meal was eaten very quickly, because Zhang Weiguo looked at you after he was full quickly, and he felt a burden if he didn't eat quickly.

They quickly finished their dinner and went to the old house. At this time, they hadn't finished eating, and they were a little surprised to see them coming.

Li Manfen: "What's the matter?" If it's not for anything, she won't come over at lunch.

Everyone is more concerned about food rations.

Zhang Gen put down his chopsticks and looked at Wei Guo, who was at the head. He didn't ask, but the meaning was the same: what's wrong?

Zhang Weiguo: "No, no, Grandpa, I'm here to tell you something." Zhang Weiguo ran at the front, and Zhang Baoguo followed closely behind him, saying this for him: "He also has articles in the newspapers. After the election, I came here to announce the good news to you, just take a look, this is it."

Zhang Weiguo handed the newspaper to his grandfather

Hearing this, Zhang Gen immediately put down his chopsticks and stopped eating. He leaned over to look for his grandson's name, and sure enough he found his name on it: "Wei Guo! Hahaha, great! Wei Guo, you this year. Are you ten years old or eleven years old? You have a future, if you are..." As soon as he said the latter sentence, he knew that it was not appropriate, so he swallowed the latter back. If this was in the previous era, this would be a teenager A talented person is a talent who examines the imperial examination and changes the lintel.

Zhang Weiguo had been expecting his grandfather to praise him, but now he is a little shy: "...I am eleven years old this year."

Zhang Gen waved his hand: "What about eleven years old? You are still young." Whether it is ten years old or eleven years old, they are all young talents.

It seems that their Zhang family's ancestral tombs are really well chosen. There was Zhang Baoguo before, and now there is Zhang Weiguo, hahaha, they have to burn more paper money for their ancestors.

Zhang Quan didn't speak, and looked at his nephew's name enviously beside Zhang Gen.

It's so good, the second brother is really lucky. When he was alive, he was very good. When he went, the son he left behind was also very good. It would be nice if his son could also appear on it.

Once is fine.

His envious gaze pierced Zhang Jinhua deeply.

He is 15 years old this year, but he lost to his 11-year-old cousin. He has lived on a dog all these years.

He glanced at Zhang Baoguo who was smiling at the side. It was him before, but now it is Zhang Weiguo. Did he do something wrong?

Thinking of the hard work of working in the field today.

What about the hard work in the field? In the future, he should be just like his father, diligent and conscientious, holding a **** and a sickle all his life, such a life can be seen at a glance, but what about Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo.

At their age, articles have been serialized in newspapers, and their future will definitely not be limited to land, right?

What will happen to them after they graduate?

Maybe they will stay in the town as a matter of course, just like the little uncle, find a job in the town, settle down in the town, and then draw a clear line here, the city people and the country people, One is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

Is he willing?

He was not reconciled, the food in his mouth suddenly lost its taste, and he didn't know what he was eating. For a while, he was a little lost.

Li Manfen leaned over to look while holding her rice bowl.

She didn't know how to read, but she followed over to watch the fun, her mouth wide open. Although this was not her favorite grandson, Wei Guo was also her grandson, and there was more to show off.

Her grandson, has the ability!

Zhang Fenghua didn't know about this, but he also knew that the second aunt left for a while at noon. It turned out to be the case. The second aunt went to the town post office. She watched the perseverance of writing articles.

Baoguo seems to have given up in comparison. The number and energy spent are far less than him. This is God's reward for hard work.

Wei Guo is really good. He is only in the fifth grade now. If he hadn't skipped a grade, he should be in the third grade now, just like her.

Zhang Fenghua is very envious, although she is envious, she can't be envious. She knows how much effort they put in.

I glanced at my mother, and then at my sister. She didn't have so much time to study. She had to work at home and tutor her two sisters.

Mom doesn't agree to let the two of them go to school, and she can only rely on her if you want to not be blind.

She has to teach them time-consuming and laborious things. These are unavoidable, and they can only be more serious, harder and more efficient in the future.

Take it slow, don't compare yourself with others, and surpass yourself a little bit, she can do it.

Zhang Fenghua worked hard to adjust his mood.

At this time, Zhang Gen greeted her: "Fenghua, go next door to see if your uncle and the others have finished eating? Tell them about it."

It didn't take long for Zhang Gui and Zhou Xiaoqing to come over with the child in their arms, Zhou Xiaoqing's eyes met Su An's and they avoided it.

She didn't want to meet her eyes.

She touched her stomach, lowered her head slightly, and her hair fell down naturally, covering most of her face, making her expression invisible.

When they first appeared in the newspaper, she secretly wrote an article to contribute, but so far, there has been no waves, and a lot of postage has been spent in vain.

In stark contrast to her, Su An went to the newspaper every once in a while, and she didn't make a sound. If she hadn't read it herself, she wouldn't have known her name appeared so many times.

This rural sister-in-law, who she didn't look at before, can not only subsidize living expenses by submitting articles, but also earn enough prestige to gain everyone's respect.

In front of her, her advantages were all gone.

At first, she was proud.

She has proud capital.

She is a girl from the city, even if she goes to the countryside, her knowledge and vision are not comparable to those from the countryside.

She has the highest education—a high school graduate, and only a handful of country folks go to high school.

She is good-looking and has been praised since she was a child.

After meeting Su An, her pride was shattered a little when they met. Su An also looked good, not the same type as her, but she was also a beauty.

Then, she married Zhang Gui, another place of pride was gone, she married a countryman.

The only thing that still holds an advantage now is education, which is about to be tied. This year, she should be able to get a high school diploma.

The certificate is a certificate, she is reluctant to admit it, but the fact is that she surpasses herself in terms of literary talent. She submits articles to newspapers, and there are often articles that she has written before.

The child in her stomach moved at this time, and she hurriedly reached out and touched it soothingly.

No, she wasn't a complete loser.

Looking at the curvature of her belly bulge, and looking at Zhang Gui, her man is still there, and her man is no longer there.

Even if she acts strong, even if she doesn't care, there must be all kinds of inconveniences for a woman living with four children. She must be very strong, and she doesn't want to tell outsiders to avoid making people laugh. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoqing The depressed mood is a little better. At this time, the child in the stomach kicked, Zhou Xiaoqing let out a pained cry, and touched and touched it soothingly. This child is naughty and will be born in a few months. she is enough.

Zhang Gui stood behind Zhang Gen and looked at the newspaper: "Where is it? Where is Wei Guo's name?"

Zhang Gen: "Where are your eyes looking? Right here." Zhang Gen pointed to him.

Zhang Gui: "Young man, you're doing well." Glancing at the name on it, he was right, he showed his big white teeth: "In two years, when your little brother is old, it's time to go to school, you teach more. He, let me also enjoy the honor of my son's name appearing in the newspapers, if there is such a day, my uncle will kill chickens and buy meat for you, and make delicious food! Talk about it!"

Zhang Quan also wanted to say this, but he glanced at his children. His eldest son had stopped studying, but his eldest daughter was still studying, but she was a daughter's family. How could she have such literary talent?

Not to mention the next two little ones, none of them ever went to serious school.

Their age is not too old, they can regenerate if they want, but the reality is that there is no way. His daughter-in-law injured her body when she gave birth to Xiaohua. The doctor said that she could not regenerate. It's always been light.

They have only one son, and it is difficult to support them alone.

At this time, everyone pays attention to having more sons and more happiness. No matter how many daughters are born, they will all belong to other families.

When they get married, Jinhua will be the only one under their knees.

No brother help.

It's easy to be bullied.

Just like in the case of Zhang Lan's support this time, if there is only one brother, he can't hold up his momentum, and he can only have a good relationship with the children of the second brother. .

There are four over there, plus the younger brother's son, there are six, and the six brothers form a bond, whichever one wants to bully must be weighed.

Zhang Jinhua doesn't know who he is anymore, and has been paying attention to the situation of his parents. His mother said a few words of congratulations, and he didn't say much after that. He looked a little tired.

She has always been in conflict with Second Aunt. She wants to be strong and wants to make her really happy, unless his name appears in the newspaper.

And Dad, after his uncle's remarks, he glanced at their siblings with regrets in his eyes.

Zhang Jinhua squeezed the chopsticks in his hand, did he do something wrong?

Shouldn't he have studied hard when he was in school, and then went to junior high school with Bao Guo?

It's what he doesn't miss, but if he misses it, he believes that if he wants to continue to school, his parents, as well as his grandparents, will support him.

It's almost a year now, he wants to go back to study again, is it too late?

He didn't go to school seriously since elementary school, how much does he still remember in his mind?

If he went back to study, would he be able to catch up with them and change his fate?

This incident made a shallow scratch in his heart, and maybe the scratch will disappear after a period of time, or maybe, as time goes by, it will become more profound.

On the other side, Zhang Weiguo was surrounded by his grandfather and the others. The uncle's praise was straightforward, and his face turned red. On the other side, Zhang Xiaohua pulled Zhang Baoguo next to him, with yearning in his eyes.

In a low voice: "...Brother, do you think I can let my name appear on it in the future?"

Zhang Xiaohua still doesn't know much about newspapers, so she doesn't have a very clear concept. She only got a vague concept after listening to the eldest sister saying something she knew and saw from newspapers. In her mind, newspapers are a Magical stuff, there are a lot of good articles on it, it's omniscient, it has a lot of novel knowledge, it's an amazing thing.

After this impression was formed, Zhang Baoguo's name appeared on it, which lowered the impression a lot. Now, after pulling down the altar, both of them are familiar to her, not far away, but down-to-earth An older brother who played and lived together. There is no sense of awe that comes from that ethereal distance.

If both brothers can do it, can she also?

She also wanted to get their grandfather's praise and affirmation.

But if it wasn't so amazing, would Grandpa and the others be so happy?

She doesn't know anymore.

If she said this, she would be laughed at. Doesn't she know the sky is high?

Sensitive and a little inferior, but really wanted to know, so he asked Zhang Baoguo in a low voice.

Zhang Baoguo didn't know how to answer her for a while. The uncle and the uncle didn't plan to send the two young ones to study, and only let Fenghua teach them. This matter is not a secret at all, and it is not a place to be ashamed. It's all too common.

The uncle's family is willing to let Feng Hua graduate from primary school, which is very reluctant. Many people go to school to read a few grades, learn commonly used words and arithmetic, and then go home. More, girls don't go to school at all. , and some do not even send boys to school, thinking that learning is useless.

However, as far as he knows, stimulated by the fact that his article was published in the newspaper, many people asked about his mother's plan to send children of school age to school when the new school year starts. A goal, and then honor the ancestors.

Will her name appear in the newspapers?

He doesn't know, but is it possible?

have.

He squatted down and looked at her: "I can't give you an accurate answer, but you work hard, don't give up, it is possible, if you give up, it is impossible, what do you encounter in your studies? If you don't understand, ask your sister, you can also ask me, if I don't understand, I'll ask my mother, my mother knows more than me."

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes seem to be glowing, is it possible for her too?

Does it mean that one day, mom and dad may praise her as much as brother Wei Guo is now? sure about her?

Zhang Xiaohua, the most neglected of the four siblings, opened his mouth, but was speechless, so he could only nod his head fiercely: "Yeah!"

She will not give up!

Hearing what he said, Zhang Jinhua came over, squatted down, and looked at Zhang Baoguo seriously: "Then do you think it's possible for me?

...

There was a scene that seemed familiar to the last time. Zhang Gen asked Wei Guo to leave a copy for them to collect. The collection is real, and it is also true to show it off.

This is something Zhang Weiguo likes to see, and he cherishes a newspaper to him.

After that, two sample journals will be sent. There was a special statement before that if his copy was adopted, he would buy an extra copy and get it out of his remuneration, so I sent three copies.

One is for grandpa, the other is for grandpa, and the other is for myself.

Zhang Gen took the newspaper of his grandson the next day. When everyone gathered, he deliberately found two difficult words and asked those who could read: "What is this word? What does it mean?"

Then when they answered the question, they said "accidentally": "Oh, this is an article written by my grandson Weiguo. He is still young, and he is not afraid of tigers when he is born. He dares to submit an article to a newspaper at such a young age. I don’t know what kind of luck he hit, but he still passed it, no, the newspaper office sent the manuscript fee and sample publication, I don’t know some words, so I will ask you.”

Zhang Baoguo's newspaper was still well placed on the shelf in his living room. Later, he made a high shelf for that newspaper, just to prevent children from being ignorant and tearing up the newspaper. Conspicuous, anyone who goes in can see it at a glance.

It was a topic he never tire of talking about, and now there is another topic on it.

Others were surprised: "Really? Let me see."

When I saw Zhang Weiguo's name, I saw Zhang Weiguo's name, and I was envious and jealous: "What's going on in your family? Last time I remember it was the Baoguo of your second child's family, right? Now it's Weiguo, and he seems to be very young. what."

Some people don't know: "It's still very small? That kid, isn't it small?"

Someone laughed: "Their brother draws quickly, he is only 10 years old now."

"No, no." Zhang Gen corrected: "11 years old this year."

Others snorted: "What's the difference between 11 and 10 years old? You have the ability, right? You have to train him well."

"I remember skipping grades twice. This is for this bowl of rice."

Some inquired about the location of his family's ancestral grave: "Where is your father and your grandfather's grave?"

If there are elderly people at home, it’s almost enough. Maybe you can find a place nearby?

When asked about this, Zhang Gen said to go, he didn't tell them.

But he didn't tell, and it was not impossible for them to know.

Because everyone's ancestors are buried in the same hill, you can find them after looking carefully twice.

But at this time, it is not allowed to talk about feudal superstitions, just knowing what to do.

Others inquired about his family's ancestral tomb, not for this, but to verify that his family's ancestral tomb is now in this state, is there any green smoke coming from his family's ancestral tomb?

Li Manfen's side is almost the same, Zhao Laidi's side is not very happy.

"Hehe, how are you feeling now? Are you sour?"

"Okay people, four sons, now both of them are promising."

"I still remember what you said at that time, now you're slapped in the face, right?"

...

At that time, Zhang Baoguo voted a lot, but he didn't win, but Zhao Laidi spoke a lot of sarcastic words.

Zhao Laidi listened to the fire in her heart, but she didn't say a word, and worked hard.

She was really impatient, and went to Li Manfen's side. She would rather listen to their exaggerated Weiguo in different ways than stay here and listen to their sarcasm.

These people, their friendship was not bad before, and they often got together to talk about gossip about someone's family. Later, Su Hui directly sued the police. Afterwards, they came back and pulled Zhao Laidi into the water, and their relationship broke down long ago. She joked, shouldn't they say a few more sarcastic words.

...

Zhang Weiguo spent a pleasant morning at school. He was surrounded by his classmates during the break time. Not only his friends cared about him, but even his teacher was very concerned, and he asked in detail several times.

The teacher's pleasant appearance greatly satisfied his self-esteem.

Today Su An prepared a sumptuous meal to reward him. This is a reward for him. He specially cooked his favorite stewed rice.

Steamed peas, diced bacon sausage, shredded salted fish, shredded squid, bean curd, diced cucumber, bean drums, etc. are simmered together with glutinous rice, and finally add a little soy sauce to color, the fragrance is tangy .

After stirring evenly, the entrance has the elasticity of squid, the salty fragrance of salted fish, the crispness of cucumber...and the glutinous rice that absorbs so many ingredients.

Zhang Weiguo eats with flowers all over his body. It's delicious, so delicious!

Please forgive his lack of language at this time, only these two words are left in his brain to repeat over and over again.

It's delicious, but it's a bit troublesome to make. My mother rarely makes it. He's been thinking about it for a long time, and it's still as delicious as he remembers. It's great.

After enjoying lunch, he took his two younger brothers to go to his grandparents to show off, no, it was for compliments, no, it was to share the joy.

...

Zhang Lan planned to live in the town for a few days, there were two main reasons, one was fresh, and finally bought a house here and spent all their net worth.

The other is to avoid the gossip in the village. She went back to pack her things, and the news spread almost everywhere. People kept going to her house to "care and concern", which was very annoying.

It’s okay to live in the city for a few days. Her mother’s family helped her and went to the recycling station to buy some things. Then her dad pieced it together, and simply put together a big bed, a small bed, and a box without a lid. There is also a table and a bench, which are enough for daily use.

The two of them sleep on the big bed, and the two small ones sleep on the small bed. Although this bed is a bit ugly, some of the wooden boards are missing a piece, which will dent. Personal, but it doesn't matter, it's good to have a bed to sleep in, and there is no place to eat. You can squat to eat.

The children are still in school, but the primary school in the village is not strictly controlled. It is good to ask for a leave of absence if there is something.

On the first night of staying here, listening to the insects outside, the couple tossed and turned a bit. The insects here are not as lively as theirs, and some are too monotonous and unaccustomed to.

The next day, Liu He went to the place where he did odd jobs and took the freshly released household registration book.

The relationship has been established before, so it went very smoothly. After all, he has also worked here for a few years. He is a skilled worker. He recruits unfamiliar people. It will take a while to get familiar with him. To help Liu He's face.

A temporary worker, just won.

Knowing the confirmed news, Zhang Lan happily took out the treasured sausage, and the family had a good meal.

The matter is settled. After staying here for a few days, Zhang Lan can't stand it anymore. Before, she was also interested in taking her children to go out for a walk. It's the same, it's a place that was not unfamiliar before, and now you can go shopping and find something new, but the town is not big after all, what else can you do after reading it?

She didn't know anyone here, and neither did the two children. After staying for four days, she had to go back no matter what.

She should go back to work in the fields to earn work points, and she still owes her parents fifty yuan.

However, her mother's family was so generous, and she did her best, so she couldn't go back empty-handed to thank her. She reluctantly went to buy some cakes and divided them into three portions, one for my parents, one for Su Hui, and one for Zhang Gui and the others. .

After she went back, some people talked about it so badly that they didn't want to talk about it anymore. They were tired and quiet. Although there were still people who wanted to ask the question, the number of people was reduced, which made her feel relieved. tone.

Sometimes when I think about it, I regret making a scandal in public, but when I compare the results, she doesn't regret it. Now she sees their faces, and she feels disgusted. past.

I should also go back during the festivals, after all, there is a mother-in-law there.

But she is not too young. When she is gone, it is estimated that her brother will become a passerby, perhaps not even a passerby.

Packed up and brought cakes to her parents' house, just in time to catch up with this wave of craze. She opened her mouth when she was complimented. She looked at brothers Bao Guo and Wei Guo, and she felt good wherever she looked.

Then look at your own children, why is it so unpleasant?

She thought the same as Zhang Gui, they are so capable, can they teach his two children?

Although the grades of the two of them are the same, as parents, they have a mysterious confidence in their children. As long as the children are willing to learn, they will definitely learn well.

Then she asked. Zhang Weiguo thought it was nothing when she asked. There were many people who asked, but most of them didn't follow up. He reported their study time. This report successfully made Zhang Lan murmur.

It takes so long to study this day. Is there still time to work in the field to earn work points?

She hesitated and tangled.

Her two children, the eldest one is the same age as Zhang Weiguo, and they will go to the field to earn work points if they don't go to school in the afternoon. The youngest daughter is not yet ten years old, but there is also a lot of work to do outside the home.

According to Wei Guo's words, there would not be so much time to work. There are only a few people in the family, each of whom has something to do, and there is no one who can replace the other.

She didn't struggle for a long time. When she went back, she said that the two children were shaking their heads quickly, and they would rather go to work in the field than read a book. Usually spending half a day in class is very annoying, I don’t want to work, everyone is talking and laughing, and I can often be lazy to do other things.

Seeing that the two children are unwilling, Liu He is also unwilling to force it: "Forget it, our family has no stamina to read books, your second sister-in-law is a teacher herself, raising a son like a mother, look at my home and yours, Which one is studying?"

This also makes sense.

Zhang Lan saw that they didn't have the will, so they could only give up.

Forget it, it's better to work hard to turn Liu He's temporary worker into a regular job and become an iron rice bowl, and then the job will be passed on.

...

This time, it was as Zhang Weiguo intended, and the compliments made him flutter.

The walking posture is different. From time to time at home, he suddenly laughs hahaha. It was fine for one or two days, but it was still the same after three days. Zhang Dingguo expressed his disgust: "Second brother, are you happy?"

Zhang Weiguo raised his chin and said with an air: "Happy!"

Zhang Dingguo nodded: "Do you think it's a little unusual for you to be happy?"

Zhang Weiguo wondered: "Where am I not normal?"

Zhang Baoguo gave him a fluttering look: "It's not normal, you're a little flirtatious."

Zhang Weiguo scratched his head: "Am I floating?"

Seeing his doubtful eyes, Zhang Baoguo raised his eyebrows: "Then, let me ask you a question, what do you decide to write next? I voted for one at that time, and I haven't done it since then, so don't be like me. ."

Zhang Anguo couldn't agree more: "Mom has been on so many times, do you think your mother is proud?"

Zhang Dingguo: "Yes, second brother, you are too unstable."

Next? Unstable?

Zhang Weiguo listened, touched his heart, and recalled the events of the past few days. Too bad, he couldn't remember what he had done, and he seemed to be praised wherever he went.

All I can remember is their compliments.

Seeing him like this, Su An asked him a question: "What is the homework assigned by your teacher this morning?"

After hearing this, Zhang Weiguo's expression turned blank: "Is the teacher assigned homework today?"

After getting a positive answer, Zhang Weiguo covered his head: "I'll think about it carefully."

Oops, except for homework, he couldn't remember what the teacher taught these days.

What did he go to school for?

He didn't seem to be doing anything, just sitting in his seat, but the teacher's words seemed to be automatically changed into another language he couldn't understand, and after a little collision in the cerebral cortex, it drifted away.

Su Hui was not surprised by his performance. His temperament was not as mature as Zhang Baoguo's. A child of this age is praised by everyone. This is a matter of course. Down to earth.

Su An took out two lists: "This is the task I gave you, and I'll give you three days to make it up." This is what he lacked these days, and: "You take the time to find your grandfather Wen, you It's been a while, he knows the good news, but you didn't tell him personally, he's also your teacher, besides, have you finished the questions he gave you?"

Zhang Weiguo: "It's done, it's done." Zhang Weiguo nodded again and again, this time he gave him a week, he thought that he didn't have to worry about it after he finished writing, he finished it ahead of time, and now that I think about it, fortunately he did it first, otherwise he probably wouldn't have done it. To forget.

He's always been a good kid who turns in his homework on time, and he doesn't want to know what's going to happen when he's late.

Because my mother is a teacher, she has developed a good habit of being a teacher. There is no such thing as shirking and quibbling.

After being woken up by his family, Zhang Weiguo finally woke up.

People are praised too high, it's really bad for growth, hurting Zhongyong is a lesson from the past.

Zhang Weiguo clenched his fists, he had to keep his feet on the ground, and also, the eldest brother has only passed it once. If he has passed it twice, doesn't it mean that he has surpassed the eldest brother? !

Thinking of this, he ignited endless motivation.

I was beaten by my eldest brother every day in daily training, and the frustration was very serious. Now that I think of one thing that he can beat the eldest brother, he must not let it go.

On this side, he was thinking about surpassing his eldest brother. On the other side, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo were also working hard.

There are five people in a family. Now all three of them have been in the newspaper, but only two of them have not. How can this work?

They study longer, and even when they go out to play, they will say a few words, which makes Zhang Weiguo feel a sense of crisis, and has the sense of urgency to become classmates with them after being chased by the younger brother who skipped grades.

No, absolutely not, he is the second brother, he wants to keep his dignity and prestige as the second brother, and he also needs to spend more time studying! Can't lose to my brother!

At this time, he forgot his goal of surpassing his elder brother.

People are always "double-standard".

...

After school that day, Zhang Baoguo trotted back home. Once he got home, Dawei came up to greet him first, wagging his tail happily and rubbing against his feet.

Zhang Baoguo patted its head, brushed his hair for a while, and closed the courtyard door.

The habit of closing the door at will was not there before, but since moving to a new home here, they all have this habit.

As soon as he entered the house, he could smell the scent of home.

smell good!

There was no one in the hall. He went to the kitchen, and sure enough, his mother and three younger brothers were here.

This is also the source of the fragrance.

"I'm back."

Zhang Weiguo was the closest to him, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head: "Brother, you are back. Mom made a lot of delicious food today."

Zhang Anguo nodded frequently, while rubbing his mouth, it was fine, there was no drooling, the fragrance was really appealing, and he was considered well-tested, but he almost lost face here.

The closer you get, the stronger the scent.

"What did Mom do? It smells so good."

Zhang Dingguo was burning the fire and answered him: "Mom went up the mountain today to get a bumper harvest, caught two pheasants, two fish, and a little wild boar. The pig is not big, only about ten kilograms. My mother said that it is suitable for roast suckling pig. And chicken soup."

The two fish were raised in the tank first, and the two pheasants killed one, put some medicinal materials, and simmered them on a small fire. He is now standing in front of the stove, and the fragrance has been piercing his nose.

Zhang Anguo was guarding the fire of roasting suckling pig. The piglet opened its stomach and held it open with iron wire. Su An brushed layers of sauce on it.

Zhang Anguo didn't know what sauce those were, but after brushing it on, it became more and more fragrant and attractive.

"Mom's harvest today is good. I'll give you some delicious food. It's almost ready. You go wash your hands and clean up the table."

As soon as Su An spoke, they all responded, washing their hands, and taking the bowls and chopsticks.

Today's main course is roast suckling pig, and the pheasant herbal soup is not bad. The herbs in it are grown by herself in the mustard seed space, and she also put some diluted spiritual spring.

In addition to these two, there is also a hot vegetable, and a stir-fried bamboo shoot, served with rice.

The four brothers secretly swallowed their saliva.

Usually it is not without meat, but it is not very common to have big fish and big meat.

Today's roast suckling pig weighs ten pounds.

Su Hui used a knife to cut the roast suckling pig into pieces of similar size, and then mixed two kinds of sauces, one is sweet and spicy sauce, the other is spicy sauce.

She also fished out the whole pheasant that was cooking the soup, took out the medicinal materials inside, and pulled it gently, and the chicken wings were separated from the body.

Drinking the soup and eating the delicious food, Su An's mouth always had a faint smile, showing the good mood of the owner.

The four brothers watched and thought that her good mood was because of today's harvest, but it wasn't.

But she got a mutated medicinal herb in a valley deep in the mountains. Originally, it was an ordinary and very common medicinal herb, but it mutated. When Su Hui discovered it, it seemed that it was only a few days away from withering. Because it mutated, there was no way that soil could provide it with adequate nutrients.

Su An moved it into the mustard seed space, and used the spirit of the water.
