Chapter 12 I Don't Steal Chickens for More Than Half a Year
The two of them worked in the yard for an afternoon, and finally found more than 30 gourd scoops of similar size, and the ugly orange brushed the gourd scoops that were picked out, put them in the pot and poured water, started a fire and boiled, thinking about boiling.
Hurry up and pick out the remaining gourd scoops, and the ugly orange added them all to the stove, Wang looked at the gourd scoops that he didn't use, and pondered that he was ready to cook a meal in the evening, and it was too wasteful to boil water at this time.
But Wang thought so in her heart, but it was not easy to say it, I don't know why, she felt that her Nier's mouth was more slippery than her, and she said it one by one, and she also said that these gourds and scoops didn't know how long Ah Niu had been at home, and it was not enough to wash and wash them like this, and they had to be scalded in the pot once.
Seeing the ugly orange throw the last half scoop into the stove, Wang finally couldn't help it, "Nier, how much hot water are you going to make, it's almost gone!" β
The ugly orange knew what Wang's temperament was, and he didn't have much to do with her, so he answered and continued to work, "Mother, if you don't have anything to do now, bring me a basket, and I'll pick up these half-scoops and dry them." β
Wang was still distressed about the half basket of 'Chai He', and went to bring a basket to the ugly orange with a displeased face, handed it to the ugly orange after bringing it, and asked, "Nier, when are you going to come out of the stall?" β
The ugly orange saw that the 'tea bowl' in the pot was almost cooked, so she fished out the chopsticks one by one, and one of them couldn't be clamped, so she grabbed it with her hands, and she touched her ears when it was hot.
Blowing her hand, she said, "Whew...... WhenγOf course, the sooner the better, I'll go tomorrow after lunch.γ "At that time in the afternoon, when the carriages and horses were tired of traveling, they stopped at the entrance of their village to rest and eat some dry food, and she set up a stall there.
Wang hurriedly grabbed the ugly orange's hand and looked at it, seeing that it was just a little red, he glared at her complainingly, and then pondered and was a little worried, her Nier stayed at home when she was a child, and she didn't go out, let alone drive the town to a big place, and suddenly went to the entrance of the village to set up a stall, can she pull down this face.
The ugly orange said disapprerovingly, "What's this, isn't it just a stall, it's still in our village, and I haven't gone out." β
Wang waved his hand, "Hey, my mother didn't say this, my mother said, if you want to set up a stall, you have to open your mouth and shout, you said that you are a girl's family, what do you look like at the entrance of the village with your voice yelling, and you haven't gone out yet, what can people say when they see it, it was ......."
Originally, the name of her Nier was not good, like Aunt Zhang's niece, the matchmaker came to say kiss the year before last, and she went out last year, her niece she remembered to call a flower Yan'er, this name is rare when I hear it, not better than this, this ugly orange! This ugly word is in the front, who dares to come to the door to say the matchmaker! Now if her Nier shouts at the gate of the village with such a loud voice, it will be even more difficult to find her in-laws' house in the future.
Wang didn't say this in his throat, and the ugly orange didn't know, but since Wang said this, it gave her a wake-up call, she handed the basket to Wang, went back to the house and took out a piece of gray cloth, and went to the stove to find a piece of charcoal leftover, spread the gray cloth into the yard, and took the charcoal to write and draw on it.
Wang took these boiled gourds to the outside, put them on the drying sifting rack and drained them, and when he looked back and saw what the ugly oranges were busy doing, he asked.
The ugly orange wrote the last stroke on the cloth, got up to take a look, and said with a smile, "Mother, what did I write?" β
Wang stood on the opposite side, tilted his head and looked, "What are you doing crookedly?" β
The ugly orange remembered that Wang was illiterate, so he pointed to the two words on the cloth, "Mother, we are setting up a tea stall, you don't need to open your voice to drink poorly, just hang the word 'tea'." β
Wang's eyes widened and he stared at the ground, "Oh, are you writing these words?" Tea just looks like this? β
Ugly Orange nodded, "No." β
Wang couldn't read, so he pouted and didn't say anything, but then he felt that something was wrong, "Nier, how can you write?" β
Ugly orange was stunned at first, and then choked, yes, she forgot about this stubble, the words of this era are exactly the same as those in her previous life, although she doesn't know what dynasty it is now, but she still knows a little bit about traditional characters.
But at this time, Wang asked, what should she say, she can't say that she is a child.
Wang saw that the ugly orange was standing still and didn't speak, so he pushed her, "Nier, my mother asked you what you said, what are you doing standing stupidly?" β
The ugly orange came back to her senses, and after a long time, she suddenly saw the stone of the old Huang family running over at the head of the village, and she hurriedly said, "What, mother, I secretly learned these two words from the village head Zhao Fuzi, when I was a child, I lay on the window of his house, and I saw him teaching the pillars to write in the house, and I saw him writing." β
The head of the village Zhao Fuzi loves to drink tea is famous, since he often moved the recliner in the yard, next to a small stove, there is a small jar of tea boiled on it, and a small teapot with a handle, he sits on the chaise longue and shakes, thirsty on a sip of tea, that look, Sensei is more comfortable, the water he drinks tea is from the spring in the mountain, he does not have to go up the mountain, there are children in the village who learn to write in him, and those who go up the mountain to chop firewood will bring him some spring water.
However, as soon as the ugly orange talked about this Zhao Fuzi, Wang frowned, this Zhao Fuzi is the only talent in Nanmian Village, and the only one in Shili Eight Villages.
He was a scholar, unable to hoe the land, unable to plough the field, so he had to set up a primary school in his own house, teaching people to read and write to earn some money to make a living, and the people in the village had a little spare money to send the baby to him.
Although this Zhao Fuzi is a scholar, he is not open-minded at all, but he is arrogant and pedantic, but he has taken it all, and he is a lot of poor and exquisite, relying on ten miles and eight villages to respect him as an old talent, and he does not take anyone in his eyes, and he is a master who only recognizes money.
Originally, the Wang family was saving two money, thinking that the ugly orange would also be sent to him to study, thinking that the girl could be literate, how much gold was more expensive, even if she couldn't change her name in the future, her daughter would be literate, and a bunch of people were rushing to ask for it.
But it was this Zhao Fuzi who thought that she gave little money, and saw that her ugly orange was a female baby, so he didn't accept it.
Speaking of this, the Wang family was still very angry, "Then Master Zhao is a bad old man, he deserves to be a lonely old man, what did he tell me that year, the woman has no wealth." β
A woman has no wealth?
Ugly Orange was stunned for a moment, and thought about it, "Mother, what Master Zhao said is that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, right?" β
Wang's anger has not subsided, and he said in a stiff tone, "That's it, look at how much this old man looks down on people, and the woman has no wealth!" Bah, my Nier is going to make a fortune in the future! β
When the ugly orange heard this, she pulled the corners of her mouth, if she told the Wang family, she didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, I don't know if she would hear it, I don't steal chickens for more than half a year......
