Chapter 9 Grandma

After picking up sea urchins, Yingle dug up a nest of shrimp in the shallow sea mud and sand, and roughly estimated that there were more than 30 pairs, enough for the family to eat several meals.

At this moment, the yellow tiger who entered the water swam back, holding a large mussel shell in his mouth, the size of a pu fan, larger than the ones that Yingle had just picked up.

"Roar!" The yellow tiger put the mussel shell at Yingle's feet, and went into the water again with a bang, looking at the sunset that was about to sink into the sea level, Yingle seized the time to hunt for treasure on the beach, crabs, oysters, conchs, and the girl's surprise cry came from time to time on the beach, and the seabirds that flew by were panicked.

In the end, Yingle pulled another bundle of kelp and put it in the back basket, and Huang Hu swam back again, this time bringing back two large sea fish, each of which was enough to weigh five or six catties.

"Thank you, Rhubarb, we have to go home, or the family will be worried." Yingle carried the heavy back basket and sat back on the tiger's back, the yellow tiger immediately leaped away, the reef arched bridge cliff, the yellow tiger carried the girl to jump and run, the movement was flexible and steady, the speed was faster than when it came, and Yingle was sent to the foot of Cuiyan Mountain, and the tiger was reluctant to run in the direction of Baihu Mountain in the girl's wave goodbye.

A torch appeared in Yingle's sight, and after hearing the movement here, he quickly approached her, "Mother, it's the eldest sister!" "Baotai people have short calves, but their eyes are bright, and after seeing the familiar figure of their sister, they rushed over.

"Le'er, is that you?" Shen's voice was already crying, this unconscious child, who dared to go anywhere with his boldness, and didn't go down the mountain until so late, this is her life!

"Mother, I'm fine, I met a lot of good things in the mountains today, so I delayed the hour, don't be afraid, let's go home, I'll make food for you."

Yingle has always known that the Shen family is timid and weak and loves to cry, crying when things don't go well, crying when encountering problems that can't be solved, crying when being bullied by others, and crying when worrying about their children.

"Eldest sister, my mother is fine, she is just worried about you, and there is," Yingle's smile made Yingle feel bad, the second sister obviously had something to say about it, Yingle chuckled in her heart, thinking of the mussel shell in the back basket, she secretly kept an extra heart, and immediately walked behind a few people.

When he arrived at home and saw his grandmother and little aunt sitting in the hall, Yingle understood everything, Baishan and filial piety came first, and it was not new for grandma Zhao to rely on her status as an elder to squeeze the big house.

"I've seen grandma, little aunt is good!" As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, the elders come to the house as guests, and as a junior, she should naturally take the initiative to say hello.

"Where did Yingle go," Zhao glanced at the bamboo basket behind his granddaughter, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are the girls' families running around all day long, where can you go to Cuiyan Mountain, instead of bothering to go up the mountain to collect medicine and sell it for money, it is better to marry someone early to subsidize your mother's family, and then you can also help your mother support your younger siblings together." ”

"Mother, Le'er is still young, I'm not in a hurry to get married, I still want to keep the child for a few more years, and it's not too late to talk about kissing when her father comes back." When Shen saw the birthmark on his daughter's face, he was sad for a while, and when he heard his mother-in-law mention his daughter's family affairs, he immediately put on a crying posture again.

Seeing the appearance of the eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao jumped up in fright, pointed at Shen Linzhi and scolded: "What are you crying about, you ruined family and troublesome mourning star, if it weren't for marrying you, the boss would never return like this, there is no news, this year is the critical moment for the fifth child to go to Qingchengzhou to take the exam, if you cry bad luck to Xi'er, don't wait for the boss to come back, I will be the master to leave you from the Jin family." ”

The Xi'er in Zhao's mouth is Yingle's fifth uncle Jin Xi, as an old man, and the one with the highest reading talent among the brothers in the family, Jin Xi has been studying hard in Luping Academy in the county seat for the next exam after showing off his talent in the exam.

"Grandma, if you divorce your mother, Yingle will take her younger siblings to Beijing to sue the emperor, maybe you can find your father who is a big official when you get there, but I don't know if the emperor knows that after his father abandoned his wife, he is willing to reuse such a courtier, as well as the little uncle's bundle of silver, our big house has been out on time, if grandma ignores family affection, the little uncle's pen and ink test silver will not come to us again."

Yingle was not afraid of Zhao's cruel gaze, and protected the trembling brother and sister behind her, and she had to catch seven inches when she hit the snake, for Zhao, her youngest son Jin Xi was her life, and for the little uncle to be able to pass the exam, grandma could give in to anything.

"Oh, and I forgot to remind my grandmother that if my father has a bad record of abandoning his wife, the little uncle's scientific examination will also be affected, no matter how good his reading talent is, whether he can continue to take the exam is still two different things?"

After Zhao heard these words, his angry fingers trembled and pointed at Yingle, "You are an unfilial girl, you dare to disobey your elders, don't see if I don't kill you!" Being chased and beaten by her grandmother all over the house, Yingle didn't want to be so embarrassed, as soon as she circled her body, she hid behind her aunt Jin Feng, and said pitifully: "Aunt save me, grandma beat people!" ”

"Mother, you dissipate your anger first, it's important to get down to business." Jin Feng stopped the old lady with the heaving chest of anger, raised her eyebrows and reminded her mother that they were here to get a share of the silver, and for the sake of the younger brother's study, the great anger and resentment had to be put back.

"What smell, so fishy?" Jin Feng's eyes noticed the bamboo basket behind Yingle, and his eyes lit up and he said, "Le'er, what is in your basket, show it to your aunt." ”

As he spoke, he kept making his eyes look at Yingle, and his eyes seemed to say, why don't you take a few good things to honor your grandmother, so that her old man can extinguish her anger as soon as possible, and don't mention it.

Yingle's eyes turned flexibly, and he had an idea in his heart, so he immediately untied the basket and put it on the ground, and said: "Auntie, look, this is what I went up the mountain to dig from the stream today, just take it if you like anything." ”

Jin Feng disliked the fishy smell of the objects in the back basket and refused to rummage through them, but Zhao did not have this taboo, and took out the kelp covering the surface with disgust and still aside, muttering in his mouth: "All the rotten grass and leaves are brought home, it's really poor and crazy!" ”

After sarcastically, he continued to pull down, and after seeing those round sea urchins, he was frightened, "What kind of strange thing is this, take it out and throw it away, be careful of it biting!" ”

Seeing Yingle standing with a smile and ignoring people, she didn't dare to continue to flip down, so she took the two big sea fish next to her, and picked up all the shrimp before she stopped, and the rest of the crabs, oysters, conches and other things, Zhao had never seen it, just as it was some kind of sloppy thing, and the children picked it up for fun.

"Old family, Jin Xi is about to go to Zhoufu to take the exam, and I will soon hand over your family's share of silver, and I will cook and eat at home. Five taels, not less than one. ”

"Mother, the daughter-in-law only has a total of three taels of silver in her hand, and she really can't make up five taels, for the sake of the family's flesh and blood, can you tolerate me for a while, and when I make up enough, I will send it to you as soon as possible, and never let my mother run a second time."
