“…… Sheep fat cakes, hot sheep fat cakes, don't miss it when you pass by. ”

Miao Cuihua sat on Baifu Street again, propping up her own stall to make pancakes. Although the business is not bad, she also noticed that as the weather gets hotter and hotter, there are really fewer and fewer people buying mutton fat cakes, but the number of people buying bean foam is increasing instead of decreasing - no way, on such a hot day, you can not make a fire by the stove to cook, who wants to have nothing to do to roast the fire.

"I said Cuihua, your cake is delicious, but it tastes too greasy and crooked on this hot day, and I can't stand eating it like this."

Look, there's an opinion.

Miao Cuihua sighed helplessly: "I also understand this in my heart, but you said that I am alone, and I can still cope with selling rice and cakes, if it is like the other side-" She pointed to Miao Fugui's stall and continued, "I can't toss it alone, don't say anything else, I can't pull the pile of steamed buns alone." ”

"That's right." The man nodded, looked at Miao Fugui opposite, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you still plan to ...... later?" That's it? ”

"What's wrong?" Miao Cuihua patted the noodles on her hands, put the baked cake aside to dry, and said in her mouth, "I think I'm very good now, I don't have to be beaten, and Cuifeng doesn't have to starve." I didn't come a few days ago just to find a good school for him to go to school, do you think if he was still there, my father would be willing to send Cuifeng to school? ”

"You sent Cuifeng to school? I said, why did you come here for two or three days, and I thought you wouldn't come after changing places. ”

"Then where can I be, I still have to earn money to support my family and support Cuifeng to go to school. Ah, the cake is ready, it's just right to eat now, don't wait for it to cool down and not crispy. ”

Alas, I have to think of individual ideas, it's not good to always sell mutton fat cakes on this hot day.

Miao Cuihua was entangled in her heart, and Miao Fugui was not comfortable in her heart.

After not seeing the dead girl for a few days, he thought that the dead girl was finally honest. I didn't come to argue with him, but I didn't expect that a few days later, she would come again.

"Uncle Fugui, don't be angry. Don't they just want to be fresh, and when it's too fresh, she will have no business. Zheng Duodi said, glaring at the other side fiercely. laughed to death, and even sent that rabbit cub to school. With Miao Cuifeng being so stupid, what can he learn?

"Okay, I know." Miao Fugui waved his hand impatiently, what bothered him was not only that Miao Cuihua was his business rival, but also that Miao Cuihua gave him a big problem.

Unbelief? Just go home with him.

"Fugui, even Cuifeng has gone to study, why can't we go to Dafu?" Liu Hehua sat under the porch with her youngest son in her arms, and when she saw Miao Fugui coming, she hurriedly got up and said, "I heard that a new school has opened on Xihuan Street. Tuition is half as cheap as elsewhere. ”

"Half of the cheaper costs five dollars of silver, how much do I earn in a month?" Miao Fugui frowned, if it weren't for the dead girl who didn't know what kind of wind she was pumping, she had to send Cuifeng to school, and Lotus wouldn't have thought about it.

Liu Hehua pouted lightly and muttered in a low voice: "Cuihua's girl also sent Cuifeng." As she spoke, her eyes began to moisten, and her voice choked, "Aren't I afraid that Dafu will be wronged, they are all your sons." Why can Cuifeng go to school, but not Daifuku? If you want to be smart, how can our Daifuku be smarter than Cuifeng, right? If you go to study, you will be better than Cuifeng. ”

I heard my mother mention her name. Miao Dafu, who was watching the ants move, hurriedly raised his head and grinned at his father: "Dad, look at you, what about ants moving their nests, people say that it will rain when ants move their nests?" ”

Liu Hehua immediately followed: "Look at how big our big fortune is." Even understand this, you go and ask Cuifeng, do you see if he understands. After a pause, she sighed again and continued, "Do you want to compare me to the two sisters? I'm thinking, when they see you now, it's like seeing an enemy, if Cuifeng reads a book and takes the official exam in the future, he won't have to turn back to you to vent his anger? What's the use of you being his Lao Tzu again, both of them don't recognize you anymore. But if our Dafu becomes an official, no matter what our family says, it can be regarded as having support, even if he wants to move us, he doesn't dare to mess around, so he can be regarded as a backer. Besides, Dafu is smart and filial, and he will always be better than Cuifeng in the future, and he can be filial to you. ”

That's the case, but that's the same thing. Miao Fugui's frowning brows expanded slightly, looking at Miao Dafu, and then at Liu Hehua, the chattering gossip of the neighbors couldn't stop coming to his heart.

He didn't ask Liu Lotus how he knew about Cuihua sending Cuifeng to study, even he heard people talk about it from time to time, how could Lotus not hear it at all. What else do those eight lambs who love to learn when they are idle and have nothing to say, what else is he not as good as Cuihua, saying that Cuihua is only thirteen can afford to raise a Cuifeng, and can send Cuifeng to study or something. Phew, it's really bullshit that doesn't know how to chew the root of the tongue, that girl has climbed the high branches, and she is still short of money in her hands?

However, Miao Cuihua is really short of money in her hands, which is true.

"Meow, the gentleman you had before, I have to ask him for an account!"

Miao Cuihua's biggest hobby is to set up a small abacus after coming back every day, carefully count the money in her hand, and calculate how far away she is from her Cuihua Sauerkraut No. 1 store.

But she didn't have time to set up a stall for Cuifeng's studies in the past few days, not to mention, and threw out a tael of silver in vain - Cuifeng had paid a tael of silver in Hanmo Zhai at the beginning, and he returned it after only a few days of school, and the silver was not returned to her. Although it only costs five yuan on Old Man Shi's side, which is half cheaper than that over there, the one or two silver is still sacrificed.

"Hmph, you want to rob me of money, have you asked me about my abacus?" Miao Cuihua grinds her teeth, she hasn't had too many noodles today, the mutton fat cake was sold out quickly, and as soon as the cake was sold out, she didn't bother to squat there to sell rice anymore, so she simply pushed the cart back, and sold the rice along the way.

Then, when she got home, she began to count the money happily, only to remember her incomparably wronged tael of silver.

"It's all my fault, I spent money in vain and was kicked out." Miao Cuifeng lowered his head, and his two hands kept stirring the corners of his clothes.

"Your fault? What's wrong with you? Miao Cuihua glared, pulled Miao Cuifeng to his side, patted him on the back, straightened his head, and taught him seriously, "Remember it for me, you are not wrong, as long as you have not done anything bad, you are not wrong." You weren't kicked out by him, we didn't want him anymore, he wasn't worthy to teach you, you know? Think about it, if you really can't do it, Old Man Shi will open a school on our street for you? Ask your gentleman, does he have what it takes? ”

Miao Cuifeng looked at Miao Cuihua with some apprehension.

"Cuifeng, you are not allowed to swallow your anger when you encounter anything in the future, do you know? When you encounter something again, you have to think for yourself whether you are at fault or not, and don't take it on yourself if something happens. Regarding this, Miao Cuihua was a little speechless, I don't know if it was because she was bullied since she was a child, Cuifeng always seemed a little cringe.

It seems that she still has to find a way to develop this kid's self-confidence.

Really, a good boy who is cute-looking, smart and well-behaved, and serious and diligent, what should he not be confident about?

"When you talk to people in the future, you should hold your head high, speak with confidence, don't be afraid, as long as you don't do bad things, you don't have to be afraid. When you speak, you should be crisp and neat, don't hum and chirp, just say it if you want to understand what you want to say, don't open your mouth if you don't know what to say, so as not to speak in a mess, remember? ”

"Remember, remember ......"

"What do you say? I didn't hear it. ”

"I said I remembered."

"What?"

"Remember!"

"Well, speak more simply in the future. Okay, you go to the school, I'll go grocery shopping. ”

Miao Cuifeng nodded and grinned, what my sister said was right, he didn't do bad things and didn't hurt people, what was there to be afraid of?

Seeing Miao Cuifeng go out with a bookcase, Miao Cuihua sighed resentfully: Alas, how old is she, how can she be like a mother.

As soon as Pang Chunmei came in, she saw such a scene, jumped forward in three or two steps, and asked with a smile: "Cuihua, what are you sighing for?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that poor Uncle Dayong has a stomachache for the past two days." Miao Cuihua put away her resentful face, smiled, and asked, "What's the matter, he's better these two days, right?" ”

"Well, it's much better, I've been patronizing him for the past two days, but I haven't cooked well, and I'll buy some ribs for him to stew in the evening."

…… You better stop stewing, or he'll have a stomachache. For Da Yong's mixed happy life, Miao Cuihua can only send the most sincere sympathy and blessings from the bottom of her heart.

"By the way, Cuihua, my father let my mother grind it through and sent Chunshan to Cunzhitang." Pang Chunmei's eyes were crooked with a smile, she had come to tell Cuihua about this, so that Chunshan could go to school with Cuifeng tomorrow.

"That's good, the two of them are about the same grade, and they live close to each other, so they can be companions." Miao Cuihua has seen Pang Chunshan, he looks very good, and Cuifeng is just the same as each other, the two boys get together to be little friends, and if someone wants to bully them, they have to weigh it. Speaking of this, she remembered one more thing, "By the way, let me tell you something, I have to go to that Hanmo Zhai in a while, will you go with me?" ”

Pang Chunmei asked curiously, "What are you going to do?" "It's been a few days since I've been back, and Cuifeng has also gone to Cunzhitang to study, Cuihua won't be at this time and still wants to make a scene."

"When Cuifeng was studying there, I paid a tael of silver for Shu Xiu, but it only took a few days to leave, and I had to go and get the tael of silver back." Miao Cuihua scratched her chin lightly, her eyes narrowed together.

"What? Are you going to ask for money? Pang Chunmei was startled, and then glanced at Miao Cuihua, "Come on, can he give it to you?" "However, it has only been a few days to collect a tael of silver, and that gentleman's face is really thick enough.

"If he is willing to take the initiative to give it to me, will he still use me to take the initiative to go now?" Miao Cuihua pursed her lips, "Are you going with me?" ”

"Go, of course!" (To be continued.) )
