Chapter 31: Opportunity

When she finished asking this sentence, she found that the little girl's gaze was a little evasive, and when Zhang Jie looked at her directly, the little adult Lingyue, who sighed deeply, said helplessly:

"Tell you, it's not that my family is unwilling to lend Aunt Wang money, but I have borrowed it several times, in the past two years, my family has borrowed the most money from her family, adding up to a small half jar of money, but I haven't paid it back once, most of the families in the village have borrowed it once, if my mother didn't know that she was lending money to her mother-in-law for treatment, seeing that she has filial piety, she wouldn't have lent her so much money at all, and my eldest brother is going to get married this year, and there must be more places for the family to use money, and it has been benevolent and righteous to not let her family repay the money. Where is the spare money to lend her! ”

Hearing Ling Yue's words, Zhang Jie was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "You like flowers so much, if there is a kind of flower that can be kept for half a month at a time, are you willing to spend money to buy it!" ”

"How can there be flowers that can be kept for such a long time, tell you, the flowers that are picked can be stored for up to three days, this is still according to my cousin's words, I have to change the water for the flowers every day, and I must use well water to live for so long, otherwise I will die in two days at most."

Ling Yue, who was full of disdain, had a look that you didn't understand, and then rolled her eyes, with an expression that she didn't want to say more to Tu Baozi.

"I'll just ask you if you want to buy it, a bunch of five cents, guaranteed to live for half a month, do you want to buy it?" Ignoring the little girl's stinky look, Zhang Jie asked with a little eagerness.

"Hmph, if you can really get flowers that live for half a month, let alone a bouquet of five cents, even a bouquet of ten cents, I will buy it too!"

Obviously, Ling Yue, who had a temper with the eldest lady, had an indignant expression, and felt angry at the outrage of this little kid who couldn't even recognize what kind of flowers he had picked.

"Just buy it, you little girl is willing to spend ten dollars, can those daughters in the county care about these dollars? This can be done. Zhang Jie, who was talking to himself and picked up Lingyue's small vase, said:

"I'll hold this vase of flowers for you, tomorrow by the creek will not be scattered, when the time comes, I promise to let it live for half a month, remember not to forget your ten cents."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jie didn't care about the weird-looking little girl, put on his small bamboo basket, and then held the flower pot in his arms, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey!" Just about to walk out of the courtyard gate, he saw the little girl who came out and gently pulled the corner of his clothes, and when Zhang Jie turned around, he saw Ling Yue, who looked a little expectant, and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to cast any spell, are you really Monkey King?" ”

"Huh!" Zhang Jie, who was extremely impressed by the little girl's imagination, smiled lightly, and then stretched out his free hand, originally wanting to touch the little girl's head, but when his little hand was halfway out, he found that the other party was a head taller than himself, and it was a little difficult for him to hold the vase and want to touch the other party's head, so Zhang Jie, who had to reluctantly withdraw his little hand, turned around and left, and laughed after leaving the other party with a back that he thought was chic:

"I told you a long time ago, I am the Monkey King of the Monkey King of the Monkey King of the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave~!"

"Hey, little brat! You haven't eaten the omelet today, do you want it? Who knew that Ling Yue, who was behind him, suddenly pinched his throat and shouted.

Zhang Jie, who had already walked a long way, paused after hearing this, and then his face was full of entanglement, between his glorious image and an egg roll, and finally, after a difficult ideological struggle, Zhang Jie chose the latter without hesitation.

In the teasing gaze of the little girl, our Monkey King held the egg roll in his hand and left with great strides.

After turning a corner and disappearing from the little girl's sight, Zhang Jie, who licked the corners of his mouth, filled the egg roll close to his stomach in two bites, and walked along the village road, but suddenly saw the door of a house suddenly open, and then saw a lonely little woman walking out of that house.

Licking the grease stains from the corners of his mouth, he watched the little woman walk into a slightly dilapidated earthen house with an obvious uncertain expression, and when she passed by the door, she saw the little woman smiling and talking to a sick old lady.

Didn't look carefully, glanced at Zhang Jie just left, not much, when he walked out of Xiaoli Village, he could see his village from a distance, the sun above his head was not so spicy, but the ground that had been baked for a day was still steaming, with a small bamboo basket behind him, Zhang Jie, who was holding a vase in his arms, walked in the direction of the village step by step, and returned to the village after half an hour.

When I got home, the chess game in the yard was over, and the smoke had begun to rise in the kitchen, and the strange thing was that the golden egg was kneeling at the door, next to it was the silver egg who was crying breathlessly, and the third aunt with a small wooden stick in her hand was scolding the golden egg for bullying her younger brother or something.

I didn't see the uncle, but in the past two days, the cold war between the sister-in-law and the uncle seems to have escalated.

Anyway, since Tie Dan fell out of bed a few days ago, he fell a big bag on his head, I don't know if the flower aunt has taken a good look, and I haven't seen Tie Dan go out in the past two days, and I don't know if the bag on the unlucky child's head has become swollen.

Zhang Jie, who is short in the family, naturally can't take care of it, there are still a lot of things in his own family, how can he have the leisure to ask the uncle and the aunt about the open and secret battles between the husband and wife, carrying a small bamboo basket and holding a vase into the house, I saw that Wang was lying on the bed, and Wang's arm has now begun to blister, and he has to raise it for a while, and wait for the scar on his arm to make people feel at ease.

Put the bamboo basket and vase on the ground, then take the basin and make a basin of water, and start to clean the dug buds, if you want to wash all the dust on it, you have to wash it at least three or five times.

The Wang family on the bed was rarely idle, looking at the serious look of the busy little fart, and the Wang family, who slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, said softly: "Your grandfather came to you in the afternoon, don't go out and fool around if you say anything, let you follow your third uncle to be more literate." ”

Wang's words made Zhang Jie stunned suddenly, and Zhang Jie, who recovered after a while, suddenly chuckled, and then said: "No wonder I didn't see the third uncle teaching Haozi to read in the courtyard, this is because I am afraid that I will go to school secretly, so the two of them closed the door and secretly studied in the house!" Oh! In this way, Golden Egg was beaten very unjustly! ”

"You kid, what nonsense, since your grandfather asked you to follow your third uncle to read first, then study hard, the old master in the village has more than a month to start classes, don't be blind during this time, follow your third uncle to learn, you and Haozi choose who to go to Mengxue, each with their own ability, but Haozi has been learning with his father for so long after all, you are just starting to learn now, you must be a big step behind, you can't be greedy for fun during this time, study hard, don't worry about your mother, wait for you to enter the school, that's better than anything, and, When your father came from the county, you have to let your father bring you a new set of clothes back, the baby who reads can not be worn in tatters like now, how can you wear a new clothes, the shoes sewn by your mother are usually worn at home, and you have to let your father bring you a new pair of shoes from the county, the shoes made in the county tailor shop must be better than the mother's sewn ......! ”

Wang, who was lying on the bed, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his whole face seemed to be filled with a brilliant aura.
