Chapter 40: Frosting

Zhang Yue called uncles, aunts, Lang Jun, and mothers along the way, and also carried some dried fruits from the mountains to the children.

"Thank you, Saburo-kun!"

"Saburo-kun is so good!"

"Hurry up and thank Saburo-kun!"

While walking and laughing, Zhang Yue returned home, and when he passed by, he met a picker who sold cane syrup frosting.

This pick can not be seen on weekdays, only during the New Year's Festival, there are many people next to the stall, and there are few people who buy.

Many children drooled when they looked at this pick, crying and clamoring to buy candy with the adults in the family. However, many adults can only ignore it ruthlessly and drag the children away. As for the children who sell candy, they proudly lick it on their tongues, and from time to time they show it off.

And Zhang Yue also gritted his teeth when he saw this scene, walked to the side, uncovered his trouser belt, took out the money, and bought a little frosting to go home.

The house is still the same as before, a simple fence door, piled with some firewood and miscellaneous items, and a large urn with dripping water.

Zhang Yue saw this big urn and thought of Sima Guanglai. It is said that Sima Guang smashed the cylinder, but in fact, the highest cylinder in the Song Dynasty was only half a meter, how to drown people. After taking a closer look, the history of the Song Dynasty is indeed written in an urn.

The urn closing jar opened, and Zhang Yue took a closer look at the urn full of water, raising several large grass carp, which Zhang Yue loved to eat on weekdays.

It's a pity that all the skill points in the previous life are on the delicious and lazy to do, otherwise make a boiled live fish, sauerkraut fish or something, isn't it fragrant? Traveling to the Song Dynasty can still make a fortune.

Zhang Yue shook his head, he must write a book in the future to warn the juniors who have crossed over.

Don't look at the keyboard warrior sitting at home who looks like he knows astronomy and geography, at first glance, it is estimated that he can't even memorize the ratio of gunpowder. Unless you have to bring your own Du Niang when you cross, then I didn't say it.

When Zhang Yue knocked on the door: "Brother and sister-in-law, Xi'er, I'm back!" ”

Bang bang!

There was a knock on the door.

attracted the neighbors to come out and look around, and the Zhang family's Saburo is back! I only knew how to eat and drink before, but did I grow up after reading in the mountains for half a year?

I saw him talking to Zhao Zhisi before, this kid may not have the potential to study as his second brother, but he knows the world, and the road will be wider than his second brother in the future.

The Zhang family is a good family, but his second brother almost made him poor. It is not easy for a family to suffer from poverty.

Zhang Yue knocked on the door for a long time, and saw his sister-in-law come out to open the door.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but be surprised when she saw her messy sideburns, when it was difficult to be at home in the past, her sister-in-law was dressed in coarse cloth, but she was always dressed neatly, and she refused to lose a little bit of the appearance of the daughter of a big family, and now she looks haggard in less than half a year.

"What's wrong with my sister-in-law?"

The sister-in-law said apologetically: "Uncle is so easy to go home, I didn't care about it, it's really ...... Sorry. ”

"Sister-in-law, the family doesn't speak two words, what's wrong with the family?"

The sister-in-law lowered her head and did not answer: "Uncle, let's talk about it in the house." ”

After Zhang Yue entered the house, he found that the house was not as well organized as before, and even some dust had accumulated on the table.

Zhang Yue pretended not to know, unpacked his bags and said: "Sister-in-law, you see that this is the mountain goods I brought from the mountains, the situation in the mountains is not good this year, and the mountain people are in a hurry to get rid of it, so I bought a lot." ”

"I'm also a helper now, and I earn some money a day, and Guo Xuejiu's shackles are also available...... What about my brother? I'm not at home, so what about Ah Xi? ”

I heard Zhang Yue call the word 'Ah Xi', but I heard a cry from upstairs.

"Ah Xi?"

Zhang Yue glanced at his sister-in-law and hurriedly ran upstairs.

But I saw Xiao Zhangqiu standing there with his pants half-off, and there were strips of red horizontal hanging behind his thighs and buttocks.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue was distressed and angry, and hurriedly hugged Zhang Qiu and said: "Ah Xi, who beat you, tell the third uncle quickly, the third uncle will teach him a lesson!" ”

"Third uncle, no...... Don't lecture her. Zhang Qiu said with a crying voice.

"Why?"

"Yes, mother, she hit me. Woooooo ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yue sighed, glanced at the thorn strip that was placed aside, and then asked Zhang Qiu: "Ah Xi doesn't cry or cry, does it still hurt?" ”

"It hurts." Zhang Qiu sobbed.

"Don't cry, don't cry, the third uncle bought you something delicious. Is it okay for the third uncle to carry you downstairs? ”

"Okay, third uncle."

Saying that, Zhang Yue wiped away Zhang Qiu's tears, and then walked down the stairs with Zhang Qiu on his back.

Zhang Yue saw that Yu was also sitting at the table wiping his tears, and he didn't know what to say in his heart.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn, and Zhang Yue deliberately smiled: "Ah Xi, tell the third uncle, what do you want to eat for the New Year?" ”

Zhang Qiu saw that Yu was a little scared and didn't dare to speak, but just shook his head. Zhang Yue smiled: "Don't you say, then the third uncle guess, do you want to eat sugar?" ”

Zhang Qiu nodded, glanced at Yu Shi again, and shook his head in fear: "Ah Xi doesn't like to eat sugar?" ”

"Ah Xi, this is not right, you can't lie to people!"

"Ah Xi didn't deceive people, Ah Xi ate sugar, and her mother will be unhappy." Zhang Qiu said so, leaving tears as he spoke.

Zhang Yue hurriedly coaxed: "Ah Xi doesn't cry, don't cry." The third uncle said to bring you something delicious, how could he lie to you. ”

After speaking, Zhang Yue took out a small packet of oiled paper from his pocket and opened it and said, "Ah Xi, what do you think this is?" ”

"It's frosting!" Zhang Qiu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was going to reach out to pick it up, but after thinking about it, he shrank back.

"Ah Xi eat! The third uncle bought it for you. ”

Seeing this, Yu said, "Third uncle, what are you doing with this money?" Ah Xi just made trouble for me because of this matter, and I have been used to it for so many years. ”

Zhang Yuexin said that this was the case, so he said: "Sister-in-law, you can't blame Ah Xi." In the past, our family bought candy for Axi during the New Year. This year is no exception. ”

"Look at your pet, such a big spender, it's really like your big brother, I really don't know what to say about you." Yu said with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Yue said: "Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you that while studying in Wuxi, I helped others to write books?" Three and a half dollars a page, one or two hundred dollars a day......"

"So much money? More than your big brother earns. Yu Shi was taken aback.

"It's also a while, I gave Guo Xuexue's money to half a year later, and when I went home, I saw the goods on the way, and I didn't have to buy it, but I saw that he only had some left, so I bought it at a cheaper price."

After speaking, Zhang Yue stuffed the icing sugar into Zhang Qiu's hand, and then put the rest of the money on the table and said, "Sister-in-law, this is what I earned, you can use it to supplement some household expenses first." ”

Yu Shi didn't know what to say when he saw it: "Uncle, keep some for yourself." ”

"Where do I need money in the mountains?" Zhang Yue smiled and said to Zhang Qiu: "What is Ah Xi looking at? Eat it. ”

Zhang Qiu looked at Yu Shi with some concern, but Yu Shi never spoke, and he didn't dare to eat.

Zhang Qiu finally walked up to Yu Shi with the candy in his hand and said, "Niang eat a little first, and when Xi'er makes money in the future, I will buy it for my mother." ”

Yu Shi hugged Zhang Qiu and immediately cried bitterly and said: "Third uncle, Ah Xi, it's not that I'm usually ruthless, but how can I have a good wife if my family is poor." Your eldest brother lives a poor and generous life, if I hadn't saved some for him, that saved some, this family would have been unable to go on a long time ago. ”

"Mother eats, mother doesn't cry." Zhang Qiu cried.

Yu Shi twisted a little with his fingers and wiped it in his mouth, and then said to Zhang Qiu: "This frosting third uncle bought it for Ah Xi, and you will also honor your third uncle in the future, you know?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Qiu replied crisply.

"It's just a frosting, say this, Ah Xi, eat it quickly...... The third uncle doesn't eat it, the third uncle has already eaten it. Zhang Yue said.

Zhang Qiu nodded, stretched out his tongue and licked the frosting on the paper, then closed his eyes, so happy that the corners of his eyes were bent.

"Mother, third uncle, this year's frosting is really sweet!" Zhang Qiu jumped and said.

Listening to Zhang Qiu's happy and childish tone, Zhang Yue and Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Third uncle next year, no, the third uncle will buy it for you every year!" Zhang Yue said solemnly.

"Third Uncle Xie!" Zhang Qiu said again, "Can I finish eating him with the third uncle?" ”

"Okay!"

Watching Zhang Qiu lick the icing little by little, the solemn atmosphere at home was finally opened.

Zhang Yue put the things brought from the mountains on the table in the same way, and Yu also talked about family affairs.

At this time, the door was pushed, but I heard Zhang Shi's voice outside: "Lady, Xi'er, I'm back, come and see what Daddy bought?" ”

Yu Shi frowned and said, "It can't be frosting, right?" ”

At this time, Zhang Shi had already entered the house, and was stunned for a moment: "How does the lady know? ”
