The busy days passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was the end of the seventh lunar month, and the school in the village was about to open. Although the dog baby earned some money and came back, Ye Zi still didn't want his son to go to work, and persuaded his son to go back to school again and again.

And what about the dog baby? At this time, there was also a quiet change, no longer as before, listening to the mother's words, there was no squeak. In fact, the walker has made the dog baby realize that it is not easy to earn money by physical strength.

Besides, it's not inseparable from him in this house, isn't it? Aunt Tao'er and her family come to Yunling from time to time to help, ploughing, raking, sowing, and harvesting, and the leaves are not as busy and tired as before.

What's more effective is that at this time, there was a news that it was Gouwa's classmate Quan Wa, who was admitted to a key high school in the region, which had never been done in Yunling, and the village praised it endlessly.

At the beginning of man, nature is good. I don't dare to say that I see the sages and think together, but the baby's family is generally still self-motivated. That is to say, the whole baby made the dog baby envious, and even had other thoughts. ran to Quanwa's house and congratulated his good friend.

And what about the whole baby? It seems that he also saw the psychology of the dog baby, and before leaving, he had a heart-to-heart talk with the dog baby. The young man's heart should be taken to the clouds. The whole baby, who was admitted to a good high school, naturally talks about ideals and the future. The whole baby's eloquent talk undoubtedly had a greater impact on the dog baby.

In this way, due to internal and external factors, the dog baby agreed to her mother's request and took the initiative to run back to the school to find the teacher and the principal, saying that she wanted to go back to school to continue her junior high school. Knowing her son's actions, Ye Zi suddenly relaxed, and the stone that had been pressing on her heart for more than half a year finally landed. It's just that she didn't expect her son to change so quickly this time.

After returning to school, the dog baby studied very hard, and in the first exam, the dog baby took the second place in the class, and the first place was a girl. The school pastes the students' test scores on the village gate with big red paper, and it is clear at a glance which child has a good study and which baby has a bad grade, and the women and children in the village know it.

In fact, the village people still have the style of reading, persimmon bay area of the old yard of the slightly gate tower has more "ploughing and reading" or "frugal reading" and the like, farming and reading has always been regarded as the foundation of the village by the village people. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, the children of the village households took studying as the main way to jump out of the farm.

In addition to school, the dog baby also raised seven or eight rabbits, some black, some gray, some bruised, some blue, and some white, he wanted to reduce his mother's financial burden. As soon as school is over, the first thing the dog baby does is to mow the rabbit, either by pulling the grass by hand on the way back, or by carrying a basket and sickle to mow the grass when he gets home.

Apricot and Ergou also helped her brother release rabbits and catch rabbits to return to the nest. Apricot likes the white rabbit and often holds it in her arms and teases its crystal clear, ruby eyes.

This rabbit is also easy to raise, generally not very sick, but the rabbit's nest should be cleaned frequently, they eat, drink and sleep in the nest, clear late, rabbit paws are prone to ringworm. However, even if you have ringworm, you are not afraid, and the treatment effect is not bad with kerosene smeared with a lamp.

Rabbits breed quickly, giving birth to a litter (a litter refers to one litter, as the locals say), and a maximum of twelve rabbits can be produced in a litter. When the cub is about to be laid, the mother rabbit will pluck the hair off her body with her mouth to make a fluffy nest-like nest. The newly born rabbits, which have not yet grown fluff, sleep soundly in the fluffy nest with their eyes closed, which is very cute.

Every tenth day of the lunar calendar, the dog baby will carry a basket to the market to sell rabbits, a pair of rabbits that have just passed the full moon can be sold for four or five cents at first, and later sold to eight cents or even five a piece. The money earned by the dog baby raising rabbits basically meets the expenses of the sisters' books and stationery.

Dad is not at home, Mom is busy. The children see it in their eyes and know it in their hearts. As soon as the dog baby, his sister and younger brother came back from school, they helped the family do some housework within their ability, collecting firewood, lighting fires, washing pots and dishes, sweeping the yard and so on. On days off and holidays, I went to the field to help with some work to relieve my mother and grandmother's fatigue.

Looking at the three children who are growing up day by day, Ye Zi's heart is also quite steady. It's just that in my spare time, I can't help but think of the peaceful martial arts mother and daughter, she is a rare daughter. Sometimes, she can't help but laugh when she thinks about it, isn't it? This is strange, why did she like other people's daughters when she had children and daughters?

Before you know it, it's cotton picking season. There is not much cotton planted in the leaves, and it is only one and a half acres of land, and the leaves and mother-in-law can also be busy. In late autumn, after picking the last crop of cotton, after picking the flower lumps that can't be opened, it is to pull out the flower firewood (the firewood is the name of the locals, which refers to the cotton straw, when the firewood is burned for cooking). You don't have to rush to pull it back when you pull it out, and it's not too late to pull it back after drying.

As soon as I finished pulling out the firewood, I heard from people that the skin of this firewood can be used in medicine, and some people came to collect it. On this day, it was a Sunday, and the three children had not yet gotten up, Ye Zi drank a bowl of "cooked noodles" and steamed buns, and one person took Mazar and went to the field first.

This cooked noodles are a kind of local pasta snacks suitable for eating when the weather is cold, the method is also very simple, that is, first get some lard or mutton fat and put it in an iron pot to melt, and then put the flour, or wheat flour or sorghum flour can be poured into the iron pot together with the fried and mashed sesame seeds, add a little salt, stir-fry, fry until the flour color becomes darker, it is cooked, and then put it in the jar.

When it's time to eat, scoop a few spoonfuls of cooked noodles into a large bowl, flush them with boiling water, and stir them with chopsticks in one direction to make them evenly thick like porridge, and you can eat. It is convenient, trouble-free, warm, moisturizing, and fragrant.

Of course, when eating, you can also rinse it a little thinner, cut some steamed buns, and soak them in it to eat. It's just a reminder that eating too much cooked noodles is easy to get angry.

Soon after Ye Zi went out, Gouwa and Xing'er also got up, and only Ergou was still lazy and slept soundly on Grandma's kang. The mother-in-law of the Liang family is making cooked noodles and steamed buns for the dog baby and Xing'er, and plans to go to work in the fields after eating.

At this moment, the daughter-in-law of the Xing family in Qingping came to Yunling on a bicycle, saying where she was going, and she happened to be passing by, so she came to see the leaves first. The mother-in-law of the Liang family asked the aunt of the Xing family to eat a bowl too, and the aunt of the Xing family said that she had already eaten it, so the mother-in-law of the Liang family poured a bowl of boiling water and asked the aunt of the Xing family to drink something to warm her body.

The mother-in-law of the Liang family stayed at home to take care of the second dog and prepare lunch. After the dog baby and Xing'er had breakfast, they led the Xing family's aunt to the field. Along the way, the dog baby introduced the name of the plot to the aunt of the Xing family from time to time, and also talked about the distribution of the plot of his family's responsibility field.

When they arrived in the field, they didn't need to be instructed by the leaves, so the dog baby led the apricots to peel the flowers and firewood, and the two sisters also liked to make up together. Apricot is clever, but listens to the dog. First, because the dog baby grew up playing with the apricots, and secondly, the dog baby will do some gadgets from time to time, and it also has some gravitational pull on the apricots.

For example, inspired by the slides of the movie show in the village, the dog baby came up with the idea of tearing off a few pages of the plastic notebook that his uncle gave him, drawing some favorite patterns, carving them out little by little with a knife, and then pasting them on small pieces of glass to dry.

At night, I put a flashlight on the wall with a glass piece and say a few words of commentary, just like a slide, which is quite interesting. The dog baby often leads a group of classmates to get into the dark room, and plays until late before the song ends. In this regard, Xing'er admires it.

Then again, the daughter-in-law of the Xing family went to the field, first exchanged a few words with Ye Zi, and then made a look and pulled Ye Zi aside. "Hey, you're looking so much better. Xing's daughter-in-law said.

"Hehe, I didn't listen to you, I went to see it and grabbed a few pairs of medicines. "Gee, that's right. You say that we don't take ourselves seriously, who cares about us. "Ah, yes. "Sensei doesn't care about his eyebrows when he starts working for a day. ”

"Hehe, the medicinal herbs have been planted, and the baby's family is also bigger, and it is brisk. "Yes, too. "Hey, you can also grow medicinal herbs. "Okay, I'll look for you then." "No problem. Hey, how is your baby studying?"

"The one of the Eh's family can't do it. After graduating from junior high school, let him learn a craft. "What to learn?" "It's not decided yet." Now this baby's family is stronger than we were back then, and it is not bad if you can't get into school. ”

"The two dogs of the Ejia family can't study, and the dog baby and apricot are okay. "Then you can make a good offer." "As long as the baby's family can be admitted, no matter how hard it is, it will be provided." "If you want to get in, you don't have to worry about it. ”

"It depends on whether there is the dragon vein in the ancestral tomb. "Ah, if you get in, you will be blessed for the rest of your life. "How can you enjoy the blessings of the baby's family!"

The daughter-in-law of the Xing family glanced at the children not far away, and whispered to Ye Zi: "Hey, the opportunity has come." "What chance?" "At that time, didn't you want to be a godmother to other people's daughters?" "What's going on?" "Here's your chance." ”

"Really?" "What are you lying about?" The old man died the year before last, and now the old woman is sick again. "Panic. "Do you still want to? "I still need to ask. "Of course. If you change your hexagram and have been busy for the last two and a half years, it will not be in vain. "What could it be? ”

"Now you're just right. "What's right?" "Hehe, it's not a man and it's not in the house." "Look at what you said, he's there, and he can't control it. "It's just your hard mouth. That's not a problem, if anything. Hearing this, Ye Zi didn't say anything for a while.

The daughter-in-law of the Xing family continued: "It's still as good as it is now, and it saves trouble." "Hey, hey. Ye Zi smiled knowingly. "Providence. "Oh, I'm playing tricks, go and tell my forehead. "Look at you, I'm in a hurry! I'll tell you to go back." ”

"Hey, I told you that you made this matter clear, and said that this daughter is rare, not for anything else, I just want to help the baby, and the baby is still hers. "Oops, I know. The daughter-in-law of the Xing family smiled secretly.

In this way, Ye Zi asked about the situation of the Wu family again, and the two chatted about other things for a while, and then the daughter-in-law of the Xing family rode back to Qingping.

Ye Zi Lao felt that he had a fate with Gua'er, and he had long wanted to recognize Gua'er as his goddaughter, but he had always been embarrassed to say it to the daughter-in-law of the Xing family. This time, it was considered to be open, so I simply opened the window and said something, but I don't know if the martial wife's wife is happy.

If people want to be willing, they will naturally be happy, but if they don't agree, what will people think of her, and they often meet at meetings, and it will be really embarrassing to really be scared. Thinking of this, Ye Zi couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart.
