Zhao Changqing felt that maybe he was born different.

Regardless of whether reincarnation is good or bad, there are differences in qualifications between people. Like a little pear blossom, she was born smart and smart.

In the season of pear ripening, Zhao Changqing received a basket of pears from Xiao Pear Huaer. The pears are not large, and they can be seen to have been scrubbed, so they are all clean and beautiful, and even the wicker baskets containing the pears are delicately woven and beautiful.

Xiao Lihuaer was much more generous than when she came back, and looked at Mrs. Zhao decently, Xiao Lihuaer said, "Old lady, I'm here to play with Sister Qing." The pears at home are ripe, there is little rain this year, the pears are not very big, but they are very sweet, my mother said that I will send some to the old lady and Sister Qing to taste. ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Okay, tell your mother, thank her for remembering." I asked again about the two younger brothers, sister-in-law Xing and Xiao Lihuaer.

Little Pear Blossom said with a smile, and her speech was clear and clever.

Zhao Changqing asked, "Sister Lihua'er, did you make the basket yourself?" It's so beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful basket outside. ”

Little Lihuaer smiled, "My mother and I are now weaving baskets and baskets for consignment to the grocery store, and there are many at home." I made this basket by hand, and it was the best way to hold the fruit. Sister Qing, if you like it, when will you go to my house to take a look, there are a lot of tricks. ”

"Okay." Zhao Changqing smiled, "Grandmother, I'll go to my house with Sister Lihua'er to play." ”

"Go ahead." Mrs. Zhao has always felt that Zhao Changqing has no friends, and her temperament is not as lively as ordinary children, what is the point of studying all day, and she is eager for her to play, and asks Liu Er to bring snacks for them to eat.

Zhao Changqing said, "Wash a plate of pears brought by Sister Lihua'er." ”

Xiao Lihuaer likes to come to Zhao's house, she likes the harmony of this family, and she also likes the white and tender Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing is different from those children who look down on people when they have two stinky money at home, Xiao Lihuaer can feel that Zhao Changqing has never looked down on her. Similarly, Xiao Lihua'er is busy at home, and she is also a person who has no friends, and the two people who have no friends come together and quickly become good friends.

Xiao Lihuaer talked about the interesting story of her weaving willow baskets, and said, "I didn't understand at first, the grocery store was out of the material, and I worked, and I was stupidly happy that such a big basket only gave me five copper plates." Xiao Lihuaer gestured, took a bite of snacks and said, "Later, I quietly inquired, and everyone else was at least eight copper plates, so angry that I found the boss and reasoned with me, and he only gave me one of the eight copper plates." It's a pity that he won't make up for my money for the baskets he made before. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "If you suffer a loss, you will learn a lesson." You should go to another grocery store and get some work to see which one offers the highest price. When the craft is practiced, the price will naturally come up. ”

Xiao Lihua'er raised her eyebrows and smiled, stretched out three fingers at Zhao Changqing, and said proudly, "Now my mother and I will provide work for the three shops." I didn't know how to make money before, and my dead ghost father was a loser every day, and the family was very lame. Although you don't earn much now, you don't know how it feels to make money, Changqing. Xiao Lihua'er said with a smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes were bright.

"What does it feel?"

Xiao Lihua'er thought for a while and said, "It's like when I went out and saw someone selling baked cakes and dim sum outside, there was only drooling at that time. Now that I see it again, I can calculate when I will be able to take the money to buy and eat. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It can be seen that people still have to have skills, and if they have a skill, they will have the bottom in their hearts, and they don't have to be afraid at any time." ”

"yes." Xiao Lihuaer felt that what Zhao Changqing said was reasonable, and she said enviously, "People who study are different, depending on what you say, one by one." ”

"What is there to study, it's very simple. It's you, now you have the ability to make money, which is enviable. Zhao Changqing pulled Little Pear Blossom to her small desk, lifted the inkstone, spread out a piece of paper, and wrote the words "Zhao Pear Blossom" with a pen, and said, "Sister Pear Blossom, this is your name." ”

Little Pear Blossom forgot to continue eating snacks when she saw it, and asked with her eyes glaring, "This is my name?" Pear? ”

"Well, this is the word Zhao, this is the pear, this is the flower." Zhao Changqing pointed it out to Xiao Lihua'er.

Putting her finger up and touching it carefully, Little Lihua'er was a little excited, and urged, "Sister Qing, you write my brother's name again, my brother's name is Pear, and my little brother's name is Liguo." ”

Zhao Changqing wrote to Xiao Lihuaer again, and Xiao Lihuaer weighed it for a long time and said, "Sister Qing, you can give me this piece of paper." After a while, I will take it back to my mother and ask my brother to recognize his name. ”

"Okay." Zhao Changqing put down the pen and smiled, "If you want to learn to read, just tell me." It's not difficult, anyway, we don't have to test our fame, we can recognize some words, like Sister Lihuaer, and it will be convenient to keep accounts in the future. ”

Xiao Lihua'er was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she slapped her palm and said, "It's my sister who said this, not to mention the convenience of bookkeeping, Pear is a year older than my sister, and I can go back to teach him after I learn." My sister gave me this piece of paper, and I went back to look at it, so I learned my name first. When I remember the name, I'll come to my sister to learn other words, okay? ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Anyway, I don't have anything else to do at home every day, so my sister can come." ”

Xiao Lihua'er was so happy that she didn't know what to do, she stuffed half of the dim sum in her hand into her mouth, suddenly picked up Zhao Changqing and turned around twice, rubbed Zhao Changqing's round face vigorously, grabbed the rice paper full of the names of their sisters and brothers, and ran home with a gust of wind without saying a word.

Liu Er was startled by Xiao Lihua'er, for fear of scaring Zhao Changqing, so she hurriedly called, "Girl? ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm fine." ”

"Miss Lihua'er is too, she looks very steady on weekdays, why is she suddenly crazy." Liu Er muttered to Zhao Changqing to smooth out the wrinkled dress that was hugged by Xiao Lihua'er.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Don't you see that Sister Lihua'er is happy." ”

"That's right, it's better for a girl to be as stable and generous as a girl." Liu Er is mostly accompanying Zhao Changqing now, and her heart is naturally biased towards Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing tilted his head and glanced at Liu Er, and said, "Girls should be self-reliant like Sister Lihua'er." ”

"The girl just treats people too well." Liu Er asked, "Does the girl want to learn calligraphy?" ”

"I'll write in the afternoon."

Liu Er put away the pen and ink.

Zhao Changqing went out to talk to the old lady, and the old lady Zhao smiled, "What are you saying, why did the little pear blossom run away?" Are you bickering? ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "How come?" "I told me about writing the name of Pear Blossom, and said that Little Pear Blossom is now making baskets to make money.

Old Mrs. Zhao nodded, touched Zhao Changqing's head, and said softly, "Lihua'er, this girl is really capable." It's rare that you have a temper and get along well. ”

Zhao Changqing responded, and the old lady taught her to read a page of the book, Ling came over to discuss things, Zhao Changqing closed the book and said hello to Ling, "Mother is here." ”

It's September, Ling's belly is slightly pregnant, but fortunately, the weather is getting cooler now, and it is very comfortable, even if she is pregnant, after the morning sickness period, Ling's has nourished a slight roundness. Zhao Changqing has never liked to go to the main courtyard, Ling was too lazy to move after she was pregnant, and Mrs. Zhao was not mean, so she ate in her own courtyard with Ling. Unknowingly, the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a few days. At this moment, the Ling family saw that Zhao Changqing was also quite fresh, and said with a smile, "Are you pestering your grandmother to study again?" Is pen, ink and paper enough? ”

"It's enough."

Ling nodded, and then asked Mrs. Hou Zhao if she had a good breakfast, and chatted a few words about homely things first. Ling said, "My daughter-in-law thought of something, counting that next month would be my grandmother's birthday, and I was thinking about the birthday gift to start cooking, I don't know what my mother meant?" The daughter-in-law is good to arrange and prepare. ”

The grandmother mentioned here is Zhao Yong's maternal grandmother, Mrs. Zhao's grandmother-in-law, the ancestor of the Zhu family, Mrs. Zhu. The Zhu family is quite famous in the border city, and it stands to reason that such a family, even if Mrs. Zhao is a concubine, she should not marry into the Zhao family of a small military household. That's a long story. First of all, we have to talk about the defeat of the ancestor Zhu family.

The ancestor of the Zhu family, Mrs. Zhu, unfortunately experienced the process of the fall of the Zhu family, and the reason for the fall of the Zhu family is also very simple, because Mrs. Zhu did not cultivate in her previous life and married a husband of a ruined family, Mrs. Zhu. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhu is capable, no matter how difficult it is, in the end, Mrs. Zhu did not completely lose the industry, and Mrs. Zhu is not only angry, but also angry, and gave birth to three sons in one go, and all of them have made a name for themselves. Now the eldest son is serving as the squire of the Sanpin household department in the middle of the court, and he is a high-ranking official.

Mrs. Zhu wasted firewood, and saw the decline of the family business, but as a result, the three sons took up the sky of the Zhu family and took care of the family business to a higher level than before. So, Mrs. Zhu continued her life journey of waste wood with great shit luck.

The strange thing is that the lintel of the Zhu family, not to mention that the children and grandchildren are not unfilial people. It stands to reason that Mrs. Zhu should never live in her hometown, she should live with her children and grandchildren, and enjoy her family. As a result, Mrs. Zhu stuck to her hometown in the border city and lived with her concubine who guarded the family business.

Of course, there is a reason for this, and the reason is still on Mrs. Zhu.

Different from Mrs. Zhu's strong and capable, Mrs. Zhu was a gentleman when she was young, and she grew up a loser, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhu's discerning mother who gave him Mrs. Zhu's daughter-in-law, now the Zhu family can't say where is the pit?

Mrs. Zhu has always been a foolish person, confused for most of his life, when he was young, he relied on his daughter-in-law, and when he was old, his daughter-in-law was no longer good, and his son came up, so he began to rely on his son. After his son came out, he sent a reliable steward early in the morning to pick up the second elder to the imperial capital to be filial piety. Mrs. Zhu hesitated, but Mrs. Zhu couldn't wait, he wanted to see the scenery of the imperial capital, so he pleaded with the old lady at home all day. The old lady was worried about her children and grandchildren, so she went with the old lady. As a result, Old Lady Zhu was really born to cause trouble, and he still made some reputations in the imperial capital at a young age, which was a shame. Over the years, Mrs. Zhu has seen the old lady through, if Mrs. Zhu loses her face, Mrs. Zhu's eyebrows will not wrinkle, anyway, in her eyes, the old thing will have no face a long time ago. However, this is the imperial capital, so if you can't help your son, do you still want to pull your son's hind legs?

Mrs. Zhu pondered for two days, and immediately dragged the old lady back to her hometown border city. Since then, the old lady has been tightly detained in the border city, as long as he doesn't drag down his son, he will go with the old thing!

To say that Mrs. Zhu, her only contribution to the Zhu family is to have children.

Mrs. Zhu is the only son in the family, three generations of single generation, and the number of people is thin. However, after many years of hard work by Mrs. Zhu, there are more than a dozen children in the concubine, not to mention anything else, the people are prosperous enough.

How upset Mrs. Zhu's mother-in-law is, you can imagine how upset.

Mrs. Zhu gave birth to children regardless of the cost, the Zhu family was in decline and had not yet flourished, so it is not uncommon for a concubine like Mrs. Zhao to marry into a small military family like the Zhao family.

However, if it comes to feelings, that's it.

Originally, the relationship between Mrs. Zhao and her mother-in-law was just ordinary, but Mrs. Zhao's life was not very good, she was widowed at a young age, and she lived alone with her son, so she had to rely on her mother's family. There are more exchanges, but there are some feelings. Even now, Mrs. Zhao also takes Zhao Changqing to Zhu's house to visit her mother from time to time.

Mrs. Zhu looked at the people who were almost seventy, and Mrs. Zhao said, "Mother said that it is not a big deal, I sewed a pair of clothes, and the melons and fruits are abundant at this time, and we also have an orchard. The family just kowtowed in the past. ”

Ling smiled and said, "My grandmother likes to be pure and doesn't like pomp. However, my mother's nephew is studying at my grandmother's family, and I also want to do my best on my grandmother's birthday, does my mother think it is appropriate? ”

Old Madam Zhao said, "There is nothing suitable or inappropriate." If you have this heart, you used to be. ”

Ling smiled, "Okay, then I'll let people pick the fruit first." ”

"Go ahead, just ask the girls to do it, you have a body, don't be tired."

Ling naturally put his hand on his lower abdomen and smiled, "Mother, don't worry, it's not the first time I've had a body, this child is very well-behaved, and he doesn't make a big fuss." Now arrange it first, everything is ready, and you don't have to worry about it. There were some new materials in the shop, and I asked people to bring a few fresh ones back, thinking that our family of four would cut a new dress and wear it for my grandmother's birthday, which would be decent. ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "You just do it, I have clothes." ”

Ling smiled and persuaded, "Where is the mother's clothes, even if the mother has it, it has been done before." There is no reason why children and grandchildren all cut new clothes and leave their mothers alone. If my mother refuses, we will not have a face in our new clothes. ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

Ling Shi laughed a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye.

After the Ling family left, Zhao Changqing said, "Grandmother, since you want to send fruit to your great-grandmother, do we have a basket for fruits?" If not, why don't you go to Little Pear Blossom's house and buy a few? The basket woven by the little pear blossom is so beautiful, and it looks decent when it is neatly placed at that time. "Giving things to people, packaging is also very important, and buying and returning pearls is the best example.

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "I didn't think about this, Xiao Lihua'er's craftsmanship is good, you go and ask your mother." Anyway, Xiao Lihuaer is doing this, and if there is a useful place at home in the future, find his house. It's cheap, it's a neighbor, and it's good to take care of her business. ”

Zhao Changqing didn't like to deal with the Ling family, but after thinking about it, she still agreed.

Mrs. Zhao touched her granddaughter's head, she was old, and she was not confused, Zhao Changqing and Ling's estrangement, Mrs. Zhao could see it. Mrs. Zhao's biological mother died early, and she always felt that it was a great regret in life to be estranged from her mother.

When people get old, their temperament becomes soft. What's more, Mrs. Zhao has never been a violent person. Zhao Changqing is always assertive, and Mrs. Zhao simply slowly dials her up, so that the mother and daughter have more contact, or they can cultivate some feelings.
