Chapter 17: Cai Yuanen is beaten.
When he returned home, Cai Yuanen was showing off his and Cai Yuanji's booty to the Gu family.
Gu bent down and turned over the hemp yam and roasted yam in the bamboo basket, lowered his eyes and said, "You took your sister to the mountain?" ”
"That's right, mother, there's a lot of stuff over there!"
Cai Yuanen replied quite seriously, "Mother, am I very powerful today." ”
"Awesome."
Gu smiled softly, turned his head to look at Cai Fugui who was sitting in the yard and was rubbing the rope, "Daddy, it's your turn!" ”
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Cai Yuanen didn't know why, so he saw his father carrying a small bamboo pole and hitting him, "Let you take Qi Qi to the mountain, if your brother doesn't take good care of your sister, I'll kill you!" ”
"Daddy!"
Cai Yuanen was chased and sweated profusely, and he was anxious to explain, but he thought that he had promised Cai Yuanqi that he could not tell the matter of selling red rope.
"Ouch, ouch, daddy hurts."
Cai Yuanqi followed Cai Yuanxuan back to the yard and saw Cai Yuanen being chased all over the yard, Cai Fugui panted and chased behind with a small bamboo pole.
Seeing Cai Yuanqi coming back, Gu Shi had grass hanging on his head and some dust on his body and couldn't help beckoning, "Come here." ”
"Mother!"
"Little fat man, save me, my father and mother are going to kill me because I took you out today!"
Cai Yuanen, who was grinning in pain, rushed behind her and said to Cai Fugui: "Dad, your baby daughter is here, if you want to beat her, beat her!" ”
"What are you hitting me for? Second brother, isn't it that you are going to take Qi Qi to dig hemp yams? ”
Cai Yuanqi looked back at the person behind him, blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Second brother, you said that you want to pick up the surplus for me to eat!" ”
"Yes, yes, but ......."
"You stinky boy dare to push it to my sister!"
Cai Fugui, who took a breath, was angry, and held a small bamboo pole at Cai Yuanen and pulled it back.
"You little conscienceless!"
Cai Yuanen jumped three feet high and ran out of the yard wailing.
Slightly ......
Cai Yuanqi stuck out his tongue at Cai Yuanen, who ran out, and when he was a brother, he had to be betrayed at any time and have the consciousness of carrying the black pot.
Now that she is doing a small business, Cai Fugui doesn't agree at all, and she can only rely on her good second brother to carry the black pot.
Why don't you send him an apple in the evening to compensate him?
"How can you dig up so many hemp yams?"
Gu didn't know much about things like hemp yams, but Cai Fugui told her that these hemp yams were used to feed pigs and chickens in the village.
"Do you want to feed the chickens?"
Cai Yuanqi shook his head, bent down and took out all the eggs and herbs he had exchanged before from the bamboo basket and put them aside, "Mother, these are all exchanged by me and my brother with hemp yam, you can quickly bring them into the house." ”
Gu Shi exclaimed, looked around, and hurriedly walked into the house.
"Not telling the truth?"
Cai Yuanxuan chuckled, and his index finger bent slightly towards her forehead.
"Don't tell some truths well for the time being, lest I be like the second brother."
Cai Yuanqi smiled gloatingly, picked up the leaves and wrapped them in hemp yams, and picked them out one by one.
"See how you explain it then."
Cai Yuanxuan lowered his eyes and followed her movements, picked up all the yams, and put them on the side of the grass shed.
"Big brother, we are each other!"
Cai Yuanqi wrinkled his little nose, he copied books and made money by himself, and he wanted to trick her into telling the truth.
"By the way, how much money did you make, big brother?"
Cai Yuanqi rolled his eyes, leaned in front of him, and asked curiously with a wink.
"What for?"
Cai Yuanxuan sat on the stone on one side, threw away the leaves and raised his eyes to look at her, "Tell me your purpose, right?" ”
"I just want to ask you how much it is, you see that our family still has to buy an iron pot, build a kitchen, and buy things......"
Cai Yuanqi counted with his little hands in front of Cai Yuanxuan.
"Alright, little butler."
Cai Yuanxuan took out fifty yuan from his pocket and put it in her hand, and smiled, "The money will be handed over to you for safekeeping." ”
Fifty dollars!
Cai Yuanqi's eyes were straight, he counted back and forth several times, looked at the eldest brother in front of him in surprise, and copied so much of the book, even the ink was provided by others, and it turned out to be fifty yuan!
"Big brother, you're amazing!"
Cai Yuanqi grabbed the surplus that the second brother had roasted before, skimmed half a yam and held it up in front of him, and said with a smile: "Big brother, give it to you." ”
"Can you eat it?"
Cai Yuanxuan frowned and looked at the black thing in front of him, picked up the strange-shaped odds with his fingers, rubbed his fingers, saw that there was white soft meat inside, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Not bad."
Cai Yuanqi saw that he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and didn't move the yam, she simply rubbed a piece of yam neatly and stuffed it directly into his mouth, "Eat!" ”
This is her little god of wealth, but she has to be coaxed!
Cai Yuanxuan frowned and took a bite, his eyebrows were instantly relieved, and he took the leaves and took the roasted yam in her hand and ate it.
"Can't eat it!"
Gu Shi hid the egg, and when he entered the grass shed with a woad in his arms, he saw Cai Yuanxuan eating hemp yam, and said anxiously: "Hurry up and spit it out." ”
"Mother, it's okay."
Cai Yuanqi divided the remaining one that had been baked before in half and rubbed half of it for Gu's.
Gu didn't expect Ma Yam to be so delicious, and touched Cai Yuanqi's head, "Qi Qi, how did you know that Ma Yam can be eaten?" ”
"I saw it in the book before, mother, we use it to make hemp yam hair cake, right?"
"What is a hair cake?"
Seeing Gu's inquiry, Cai Yuanqi was shocked, and suddenly thought that there might be no cakes in this era?
Cai Yuanxuan also looked at Cai Yuanxuan curiously.
"I can't say it either, why don't you make some tomorrow for my father and mother and my eldest brother and second brother to taste!"
As soon as Cai Yuanji's words fell, he saw Cai Yuanen, who was shirtless, rushing in wet, "What do you taste?" ”
"Little fat man, aren't you going to cook me hemp yam soup?"
Cai Yuanen stroked the water stains on his head and sat on the grass, "Dad is too ruthless, if I hadn't jumped into the stream, maybe I would have to be beaten." ”
"Who told you to take your sister to such a dangerous place?"
Gu Shi glared at him, turned his head to look at Cai Yuanqi, "Huh, how do you cook hemp yam soup?" ”
"I've got to wash it up first."
Cai Yuanqi picked up two good hemp yams in the grass shed, brought some mushrooms and carried them with leaves to wash the yams by the stream at the door.
Gu and Cai Yuanxuanze lit a fire in the grass shed.
Cai Yuanen saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he simply followed Cai Yuanqi to wash the hemp yam.
Boom!
Cai Yuanqi was squatting by the stream and scrubbing the yam when a small pebble was thrown in front of her, and the splash sprayed her face.
"Second brother, don't make trouble." Cai Yuan said without replying.
Boom!
Another pebble.
Cai Yuanqi frowned and turned his head suddenly, and saw the second egg hiding behind the tree popping up, waving his hand at her, and pointing not far away.
It turned out that under the tree not far away, there were a bunch of long-tongued women from the village, including Chang and Mrs. Cai.
