Chapter Seventy-Nine: Remembered
Sending Zhu away, Yang waited for Lao Zhong to come back from outside and hurriedly told him that it was ten taels more than expected.
"More is more, it's not easy to talk back, let's have a good fate. What about Xiaohe and Huzi? ”
"I don't know, let's go out with a bunch of kids."
"It's time to go, why haven't you come back. Gotta find it quickly. ”
At this time, Zhong Xiaohe also has a bunch of radish heads, and they are playing crazy in the fields under the leadership of Big Egg.
The big egg can be the leader, and he is full of energy to tell his ignorant cousin which is the yellow rat nest and which kind of hole may have a snake in it.
"There are wolves and foxes in the depths of the meadow, and you are too young to play with them."
"Wolves? That's dangerous. When Zhong Xiaohe heard this, he was stunned.
"There are a lot of people, they don't usually come over, what a coward."
"Snort," Zhong Xiaohe didn't care about him in general.
The large egg was at the root of a withered plant, and the soil was vigorously scraped with a wooden stick, and after a while, a long gray-red root was dug out, about the thickness of a little finger. Then he patted off the soil on the roots, rubbed it on his clothes, and handed it to Zhong Xiaohe.
"Rub the skin off and taste it, the sweet root is very sweet."
Zhong Xiaohe took it, and the gray-red skin fell off as soon as he rubbed it, revealing the yellow fibers and juice inside.
Put it in your mouth and chew it, it's sweet.
"It turned out to be licorice."
"Licorice? Our name is Sweet Root. ”
"I've seen it in the infirmary, and it's in the medicine I took a while ago."
"Herbs."
"yes, but the infirmary ones are a little thicker."
Big Dan's eyes rolled, and he muttered: "You can dig up the thick ones, this thing is sparse, I just don't know if we dig it up and send it, will the hospital accept it?" ”
"You'll find out if you try it."
"Brother, what are you thinking about? If you don't study well, it's useless. "Erdan and Huzi came over with the radish heads as early as when the big egg was given to Zhong Xiaohe licorice root to eat.
The big egg pushed the second egg hard, "I know a fart, I don't know much, and I learned from my father's words to teach me." Roll the calves. ”
The second egg pouted, didn't say anything, and the big egg bullied him. dragged the tiger and went to dig and eat it himself, and he also knew it.
Zhong Xiaohe: They were called back by their uncle.
On the way back, I met Mrs. Zhu and a middle-aged peasant woman at the door of a house, and my uncle was busy greeting her.
Zhong Xiaohe knew that this was the second aunt's maiden family, the old Zhu family.
The middle-aged woman is her sister-in-law and Zhu Wenyao's mother.
"Little Lotus girl, it's rare to come back, let's play at home for a while, it just so happens that your cousin Wenyao is also at home." Mrs. Zhu was very enthusiastic, but the woman next to her heard her mother-in-law say this, her eyes moved slightly, and she quietly looked at Zhong Xiaohe with unknown meaning.
Zhong Xiaohe didn't care about the stranger's scrutiny, but how could he go to his house to play, he was not familiar with it, and he didn't have that mind.
"No, Grandma Zhu, my father and mother are in a hurry to go home, I have to hurry back."
Mrs. Zhu didn't care much about being rejected, and waved goodbye. She was just polite, if she really came over to have fun for a while, it would affect Wen Yao's reading.
Looking at the back of Zhong Xiaohe and the others leaving, Zhu Wenyao's mother's eyes flashed with complexity.
"How?"
"Mother, what's the matter?"
"Don't pretend to be confused, what I said, you think about it, anyway, my wife is buried in the loess. Yao'er doesn't know when you'll be able to come out, you're not too young, how many more years can you do? ”
Mrs. Zhu sighed and said, "With the money to help him take the exam, you are relaxed, Yao'er is not under so much pressure, and besides, you can take care of staying in the future, killing two birds with one stone." ”
"But that's too fat, stupid, and his family isn't that rich."
"I'm not fat or stupid, I'm an official lady, can someone marry someone like you? What's more, as you saw just now, people are not stupid now. ”
Zhu Wenyao's mother obviously disagrees with her mother-in-law's statement, who is not worthy of her Yao'er? But he didn't dare to refute it, so he only whispered: "Yao'er and his father? ”
"That was before, and now, Yao'er is off the list, and our family's confidence is not so much, maybe he agreed."
"I don't know if I'll take a look after the exam at the beginning of the year?"
Mrs. Zhu sighed again, she didn't squeak, in fact, she also thought so, once she was admitted to Xiucai next year?
Money, as long as the girl is willing to open her mouth, then she will definitely be able to borrow, and there will be no pressure on money until next year. Even if you want to get married, I'm afraid there are a lot more choices, and there is really no need to just stare at the grass in front of the nest.
looked at the old Yang family's residence and said softly, "Make an alternative." ”
The spare tire girl didn't know that she was being remembered, so she happily got into the carriage on the return trip, calculating whether she could lose a kilogram this time.
It's a little hard, but this time it doesn't seem to be so motion sickness. I'm afraid that I have to count on going a long way, for example, running so far to the state capital, maybe it will be possible to reduce the point.
This time, there was only a family of four plus a second egg in Yangjia Village, and the owner of the car was Lao Zhong himself. When I came back, there was one less second egg, after all, I had to go home after a twenty-day school holiday.
Zhong Xiaohe didn't quite understand why there was such a long holiday, saying that it was a clothing leave, and it was understandable to change clothes in different seasons, but it was too long.
It's one thing to not understand, and the children are happy.
It just happened to take advantage of the holiday that the whole family could go out together, because they chatted all the way to Fucheng, but it diverted some of Zhong Xiaohe's attention, making a person with motion sickness feel that time passed quite quickly.
In fact, this time Xiaohe is not too motion sick, but he still feels uncomfortable, so the curtains are lifted all the way, and it will be more comfortable to breathe fresh air.
It was close to evening when I arrived at the county seat, but before I reached the back door, I saw two figures in the distance at the door of my house and seemed to be arguing fiercely.
The carriage got closer and closer, and the two of them also saw Zhong Xiaohe and them, so they stopped arguing.
At this time, Xiao He and the others also saw the two of them clearly, one was auspicious, with his head down, sobbing, and the other was a small man about thirty years old, who saw Lao Zhong nodding and bowing his head, with a flattering face.
This person Zhong Xiaohe didn't know, but Lao Zhong knew that it was the auspicious father, Wang Dalazy.
Old Zhong frowned and said unhappily: "Why are you here?" ”
Wang Da lazy said: "Give a word to the big girl." ”
Lao Zhong warned: "She signed a death contract, if you come over to entangle again, don't blame me for suing the government." ”
Wang Da shrank lazily, and his heart was empty: "I don't entangle, just say a word, and leave." ”
Then he whispered, "Big girl, dad is not joking, you can watch it." Hmph~"
After speaking, he looked up at the old clock, and saw that his color was getting worse and worse, so he hurriedly smiled and left quickly.
At this time, several members of the Yang family had also gotten out of the car.
Looking at Ji Xiang, who was still bowing his head and crying, Lao Zhong had a cold face and said, "Okay, don't be at the door, go in first." ”
Ji Xiang hurriedly wiped away his tears, only to notice that he was not blocking the door, and he didn't care about crying, so he quickly pushed open the door and asked the master to hurry to the carriage.
This toss is also known to the people in front of me.
The fetching of water, the preparation of meals, and the joy of the family all of a sudden.
Zhong Xiaohe glanced at Jixiang before returning to the house, and Jixiang hurriedly brought a basin of water and followed behind.
