Chapter 56: The Shepherd Boy Rides a Ox
He owes Zhang Hao a place to go to school, Zhang Jie has always thought so in his heart, if it weren't for his arrival, he would definitely be Zhang Hao who is learning in the school now, maybe his life may be very different from now, it is precisely because of this thought, so Zhang Jie feels that he should compensate him from the bottom of his heart.
Six or seven-year-old children, isn't it the age of playfulness, and it's not that the family can't open the pot, if you can help him, let him play for two years, it's not a big deal.
With Zhang Jie's guarantee, Zhang Hao was also a lot more lively, and there was a smile on his little face that was originally going to die, and when the two children came to the table, as the old man at home moved the chopsticks first, lunch began like this.
The meat on the dinner table is very fragrant, and the large pieces of fat don't feel too greasy at this time, and it is definitely a very enjoyable thing to be able to fill your mouth.
As usual, the good things on the table are to be distributed by the old lady, and the old lady first distributed a piece of big fat meat to each of the children, and then put the remaining half of the plate with three or five pieces into the third uncle's bowl, and after sandwiching two pieces of fat for the old man, she put the remaining small half of the plate of meat in front of Zhang Jie.
This is the rule of eating at home for the past two years, as before, the rules are the rules, and no one can challenge them.
Unlike the third uncle before, as long as the things are in his hands, there is absolutely no other people's share, Zhang Jie has no habit of eating alone, of course, another reason is that large pieces of fatty meat, eating two bites, if you really eat too much, the greasy mouth will really feel crooked.
First of all, he sandwiched two pieces into Wang's bowl, this is not Zhang Jie's stinginess, a large table of people, in addition to the old man and the third uncle divided a few pieces of meat, like the uncle and aunt, grandma and uncle have not tasted, if you clamp too much to Wang's at once, it will be a little too much, and Zhang Jie also knows Wang's temper, and she will clip two pieces, that is her filial piety, if she clips too much, she will definitely not eat, but will put it back on the plate.
At this time, there were still six or seven pieces left in the plate, and Zhang Jie also sandwiched two pieces in his bowl, and then pushed the plate in front of Zhang Hao on the side, and the others didn't ask more.
Under the watchful eye of the old lady, Zhang Hao didn't dare to eat alone, and after quickly sandwiching two pieces into the bowl, he pushed the plate to his brother Zhang Yan's side, as for the rest, it is to see who has the fastest hand of a few children, and if the hand is fast, there will be a quick grab, and if the hand is slow, he will watch others eat well.
After two pieces of greasy fat in his stomach, Zhang Jie felt that his mouth was full of greasy, and he drank a few mouthfuls of porridge before he could suppress the greasy in his mouth.
Halfway through the meal, I saw Zhang Hao on the side frequently glancing at him, obviously, this is not the time to mention Zhang Hao's matter, a large family at the dinner table, the golden eggs of the little aunt's family have begun to follow the uncle to do what he can, if Zhang Jie is in the little aunt and the premise of Zhang Hao's matter, the little aunt will definitely have an opinion.
At that time, if the little sister-in-law objected, the old man would definitely not be accommodating, but obviously, Zhang Hao didn't look at the atmosphere, and he didn't know what the timing was.
Zhang Jie ignored him, eating his own food by himself, and waiting for the meal to come to an end, but saw Zhang Hao suddenly put the dishes and chopsticks aside, thinking that Zhang Jie was unwilling to help him, so he said to the old man: "Grandpa, I won't herd the cow, the cow is so big, what if I bite me, I can't beat the old cow in the family, let my brother continue to herd the cow, and the old cow in the family will recognize my brother." ”
When he saw Zhang Hao get up, Zhang Jie felt that something was wrong, and when he heard Zhang Hao bargain with the old man like this, Zhang Jie knew that this matter, even if he tried hard, he couldn't change the overall situation.
Sure enough, as Zhang Hao's voice fell, he saw the old man look at him lightly, thinking about it, the old man regarded Zhang Hao's words as amusement, and didn't take it to heart at all, but asked casually: "Let your brother continue to herd cattle, then what are you going to do?" The golden eggs have gone to the field, otherwise you will exchange them with the golden eggs? You go to the fields and let the golden eggs go to herd the cows? ”
As soon as the old man said this, Zhang Hao's little face immediately turned red, obviously, he couldn't say it himself if he was still thinking about playing for two years, and when the little aunt on the side smiled and said that the golden egg is not afraid of cows, let the golden egg change it for you, Zhang Jie knew that at this time, it was already the best result to let Zhang Hao go to herd the cow.
And follow the adults to do farm work in the fields, cattle herding is naturally a relatively easy job, Golden Egg is almost seven years old this year, the old man has the intention to exercise these juniors in the family, let Golden Egg follow Uncle to the ground, think about a year or two at most, Silver Egg will also follow Uncle to the ground, and let Zhang Yan of the third uncle's family go to the county to learn the craft, in fact, it is already considered to take care of the third uncle's family, as for letting Zhang Hao go to herd cattle, this is already a beautiful difference.
At this time, he was silent, if the old man agreed with the little aunt's opinion and asked Zhang Hao to follow the uncle and uncle to do farm work in the field, it would be more than worth the loss, and he groaned slightly, before the old man spoke, Zhang Jie, who put down the dishes and chopsticks, suddenly said:
"The shepherd boy rode the ox, and the song vibrated the forest.
Intending to catch the cicada, he suddenly closed his mouth.
Zhang Hao, wait for tomorrow I will make you a recorder, you are riding the old ox, while playing the flute, then the village will be envious of those of your little friends, our old cattle are so honest you don't know, riding on it will never bite you, if it is disobedient, you will drag its nose, it will be honest, I bet, if you ride the old cow, even if it is a big baby and a small baby have to envy. ”
When Zhang Jie's words fell, the old man who originally wanted to say something glanced at Zhang Jie and stopped talking, obviously, since Zhang Jie had already said this, the old man naturally knew what Zhang Jie meant.
The little sister-in-law also stopped talking at this time, the two scholars in the family, the third uncle and Zhang Jie, if the little sister-in-law insisted on changing the golden egg and Zhang Hao, then this time it would obviously offend the third uncle to death, and looking at Zhang Jie's performance just now, it was obvious that he was also on Zhang Hao's side, and the little sister-in-law naturally would not offend the two scholars in the family for an errand of herding cattle.
"What do children know, let you herd cattle, how can there be so many things." After the third uncle reprimanded Zhang Hao with a straight face, even if this matter was so decided, even the old man would not object to anything at this time.
Looking at Zhang Hao with a depressed face, Zhang Jie suddenly felt that it might be a good thing to let him herd cattle to exercise, always let him play blindly like this, and his mind will never grow.
This is not to help him, but to harm him.
