Chapter 49: I Want to Read
Ma saw Ye Zhengde's figure from a distance, his steps were a little faster, and when he arrived at the place, he didn't care about anything to do with others, so he paid for the car neatly, pulled his sleeve and walked home.
"Why don't you ..... without asking?"
"Let's go home first, there are so many people watching outside." Ma pulled her husband's sleeve, still with a smiling face, but her lips moved lightly and said in a low voice.
"Ahem." Ye Zhengde's expression straightened, and his eyes swept over the villagers who were walking nearby at the moment.
Ye Hao glanced at Ma and the eldest uncle, then at her brother's empty back, tugged at his sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, how did you get the eldest aunt to come over?" ”
"Go home and say." Ye Ming hooked the corners of his lips and replied in a low voice.
The group soon arrived at Ye's house, and Ye Hao saw the Zhao family standing in the garden at a glance, walked a few steps forward, and took out the purse from the cuff: "Grandmother, this is the one hundred and eighty-four yuan from selling pomegranates, and it is all here." ”
Zhao took the purse, first happy, and soon frowned and calculated, how did this one hundred and eighty-four wen come about? One pomegranate is one article, and it should be one hundred and twenty-four articles?
"A total of one hundred and twenty-four pomegranates, the first one hundred and twenty, the granddaughter sold for three pennies and two pomegranates, and when the last four pomegranates were left, the granddaughter sold them for one penny."
Looking at her grandmother's expression, Ye Hao could guess what she was struggling with, so she simply said it directly, in fact, she had counted more.
When she was selling pomegranates, she cut one open for people to taste, but because she didn't want to break too much with her grandmother, she simply didn't say it.
"Hmph, you can sell it for an extra two cents, but you must be lazy and want to come back early, so you sold it cheaply!" Zhao muttered a few words and glared at Ye Hao.
"Well, that's what Grandmother said." Ye Hao didn't refute, but nodded yes to Zhao's words.
Do you want her and her grandmother, who is illiterate, to talk about how to do business? Explain why it is expensive at the beginning and cheap at the end?
She didn't bother to make that effort, anyway, her purpose of going to town this time was almost achieved, whatever you want, she wouldn't drop a piece of meat anyway.
"You..." Zhao pointed to his granddaughter's hand and trembled: "Don't let me know that you have hidden money, otherwise you will be good-looking!" ”
After saying this, she snorted coldly, turned around and went into the house, she had to quickly count the money and hide it to feel at ease!
Ye Hao didn't think there was anything here, but Ye Xing in front of the stove room bit her lip angrily, my sister worked hard to sell pomegranates in the town, and she got so much money, even if her grandmother didn't boast, she even said that her sister was not?
Ye Hao didn't see her sister's expression, she watched her father and third uncle follow her grandmother into the main room, and then ........
"What? You've done all this work and you've got so much money? You must have hidden your money.......! ”
"Mother, I didn't hide the money, I really didn't, oops, don't pull my clothes....."
Ye Hao pursed her lips, she didn't have to think about it to guess that the third uncle must have hidden a lot of money this time, otherwise her grandmother would not have reacted like this.
She turned around and went back to the house, took out the head flowers and buns she bought for her sister, and looked at her sister's happy smiling face, feeling a little satisfied.
.............
In the evening, in the main house, Xing's served the last dish to the table, and the Ye family's dinner was ready, it was still a big pot of mixed noodles steamed buns, a bowl of sauce on each table, steamed cabbage, and chestnut rice porridge mixed with wild vegetables.
Ye Zhengli saw the food on the table and complained to Zhao: "Mother, I have been away from home for so many days, and I finally came back, and you don't want to do anything good?" Your son and I are hungry and thin! ”
"Shut your mouth for me! It's good to eat some! If you really want to eat well, hand over your private money, and I'll go buy meat and stew it right away!" ”
Zhao slapped the table, pointed to the third son's nose, and scolded with foam.
Ye Zhengli immediately silenced and asked him to take out the money? Impossible!
He finally hid some money, thinking that he could use it to play with money later, but he didn't expect to be left by the Li family, and the reason given made him unable to refute it, and bought some good supplements for the son in his belly.
What could he do? I can only agree.
With Zhao's opening of the meal, Ye Hao quietly picked up the bowl and drank the porridge water, but her eyes glanced at the eldest uncle and cousin Ye Wenhao at the next table from time to time.
What did the eldest aunt say to the eldest uncle, and the deep fear on his face actually subsided a lot?
When the meal was almost finished, Ye Wenhao at the other table put down the bowl, brewed his emotions for a while, looked up at Ye Fang and said, "Grandfather, I have something to say." ”
Ye Fangmei's heart jumped, and his back straightened a little: "What's the matter?" Go ahead. ”
"Grandfather, I want to go to the academy." Ye Wenhao said solemnly.
The reaction of others was not small.
"What? What do you say about entering the school? It's already difficult to supply the eldest brother at home, plus you, won't you even be able to afford steamed buns in the future? Ye Zhengli was the first to jump out and object.
Really, why did the big brother's family occupy all the good things?
The family has been saving money for the eldest brother to study for so many years, and he has not touched the benefits at all, but there are a lot of bad ones!
The eldest brother went to the town to work as an accountant, and he got a lot of money every month, not to mention that the family had no light, and he had to support the eldest brother's family with good food and clothing.
Every time the grain is beaten, most of the fine grains are taken to the town by the eldest brother, and they can only eat bran vegetables, and they can't eat anything good all year round!
As soon as Ye Zhengli's words fell, Ma Shi at this table spoke up: "Third brother, what you said is not right, the family is not difficult to do this." ”
"Besides, it's a good thing that Da Lang has this idea, can't he come back after taking the exam? In this way, the family land does not have to pay taxes, how good it is. ”
"Hmph, I don't expect Xiucai, I'm afraid I won't even be able to drink gruel in the future!" Ye Zhengli pursed his lips disdainfully, and his words were not polite at all.
After speaking, he glanced at the daughter at the next table: Go and call your mother over, he is a big man, and it is really not good to fight with his sister-in-law about this.
Besides, he can't fight.
Ye Hua, who got the instructions, quickly got up from the stool and trotted out of the house.
She was also reluctant to let her cousin go to school, because that would mean that the already insatiable rations might be even less.
"Mother, mother, go to the main house, Da Lang said he wants to go to school."
"What? One bloodsucking is not enough, is this a family sucking together? Lee's eyebrows, who were lying on the kang, immediately raised his eyebrows, lifted the thin quilt, put on his shoes, and walked out of the house.
After drinking the medicine for two days, her body has improved a lot, if it weren't for the fact that she could deduct more good things from Zhao's hands, she wouldn't have been lying on the kang and pretending to be sick.
At the end of the main house, Ma listened to Ye Zhengli's words, and the kindness on his face couldn't be maintained.
