The old man looked hesitant, he actually really wanted to teach a few more students, but he had already promised to teach the children of the Tang family, Tang Baishan said when he was apprenticed, he could not teach other people, except for the children of the Tang family.

Keeping one's word is the basic criterion of life, and he naturally cannot be untrustworthy.

"Ahem...... I'm not in good health, and I have to herd cattle, so I really can't spare time...... Ahem......"

The old man coughed awkwardly, his expression was ashamed and ashamed, as if he had done something bad, Tang Xiaonan looked funny, he was really a simple and upright old man, he obviously didn't do anything wrong, why should he feel guilty.

"Grandpa, are the balls for cows?"

Tang Xiaonan took an egg and asked loudly, breaking the embarrassment, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes, add nutrition to the cow, let's go, let's feed the cow eggs." ”

The old man carried a basket of eggs and fed the cattle one by one, and the cows who were going to work for a while were fed five eggs, and those who did not work were fed two.

The cow ate with relish, a basket of eggs was quickly eaten, Tang Xiaonan still saw the cow eat eggs for the first time, like a whirlwind, not to mention five, fifty is estimated to be able to eat.

Shen Yuzhu was thoughtful, she knew that the brigade had a separate nutrition fee for the cattle, but it was absolutely impossible to have so much, just now there were twenty eggs in a basket, two cents for an egg, and twenty were four corners.

Where did he get all this money?

Shen Yuzhu thought of the last time he met Huo Jinzhi in Wucheng, he hadn't been in the city for four years, but Leng Buding went to Wucheng, what did he do?

She couldn't help but look around, but she didn't see Huo Jinzhi, so she asked, "Grandpa Qi, where did Jinzhi go?" ”

"Reading at home, I beat a few baskets of grass in the morning, and I let him go home to read." The old man said with a smile.

"I really work hard, I envy him for having you to guide him." Shen Yuzhu said meaningfully, and the old man smiled slightly and did not say anything.

Shen Yuzhu's expression was a little sneering, and there was nothing to talk about anymore, so he said goodbye and left, and when he saw Su Wanrou washing clothes at the door of the house, Shen Yuzhu thought about it and stepped forward to say hello.

"Aunt Su, are you at home?"

"Huh? Yuzhu, I'm reading a book in the house. ”

Su Wanrou's eyes flickered a little, she didn't dare to look at Shen Yuzhu, she had never lied in her life, but her son asked her to say this, she had to listen to her son.

Shen Yuzhu frowned slightly, and glanced towards the quiet room, Su Wanrou was obviously weak-hearted, indicating that Huo Jinzhi was not at home, why did he lie about such a trivial matter?

"I just happened to ask for a few words."

Shen Yuzhu made a gesture to go in, Su Wanrou was even more panicked, she didn't care about wiping the foam, and stopped her, "Jinzhi has a bad temper, even I can't disturb me when I read, Yuzhu, you can ask next time." ”

"Then I'll ask next time."

Shen Yuzhu was sure that Huo Jinzhi was not at home, and she became more and more curious about where he went, and she found that Su Wanrou was using new soap, and the soap was still seventy or eighty percent thick, indicating that it had only been used for a few days, and it would not be more than a week at most.

In the past, Su Wanrou used plant ash (many people used plant ash to wash clothes), or honey locusts picked from the mountains, and daily necessities were very economical, because they had to be purchased with tickets, Huo Jinzhi's mother and son were outsiders, and they couldn't get tickets at all, but the old man did, but one person was not enough, and three people were not enough.

"Aunt Su, my hands are dirty, can I wash my hands at your house?" Shen Yuzhu asked with a smile.
