Chapter Twenty-Six: Someone Else's Child
"Mother, I also know a lot of words, but it's a little difficult to ...... on it."
Shi Qingyang defended in a low voice: "Second Uncle said, it's already very good that I can read so many words at my age." ”
"Phew...... You still have the face to say it. Qi Wan nodded his head and said, "Look at Ren Qingdai."
"She's younger than you, and she knows all the words on it......"
Shi Qingyang's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, and he turned his head to Yunrong Qingdai on his side.
Qingdai's old face flushed, and she glanced at Shi Qingyang, who was a little surprised, with a little sympathy.
It turns out that the creature of 'other people's children' has been around since ancient times.
It's just that unlike her in modern times, in ancient times, she became the 'child of someone else' in other people's mouths.
She also saw Shi Zikang's handwriting just now and knew that the font used in this dynasty happened to be the traditional Chinese characters of later generations.
With her previous level of knowledge and age, knowing these words was really nothing to brag about.
Qi Juan seemed to have made up her mind to use her to stimulate Shi Qingyang to study hard.
Listening to her unstingy praise, Qing Dai was slightly embarrassed and didn't start.
She's not really a little Lori, she's in her twenties now, and she's still from modern times and well-educated.
In such a situation, let her find a sense of superiority in a teenager who has never even been to school, she really can't find it.
Seeing that Qi Juan had no intention of stopping the excitement, Qingdai hurriedly changed the topic.
"Milk, the eldest aunt didn't tell you, it's really written on this note."
"What the hell is going on, Aunt Wang, why are they so understanding......
"Mother, I'll tell you......" mentioned the matter of Fang Cai, and Qi Juan finally stopped worrying about Shi Qingyang's literacy.
He told everyone about the matter of Fang Cai.
"Is it really okay to do this? Aunt Wang has the support of the village chief behind them, and when the time comes, ......"
"Mother, don't worry, this black and white is here, even if the village chief comes, you can't make a mistake."
Zhao Guilan looked at the note in her hand and said with a worried face: "Is this note really useful...... Those grain ......"
"Milk, don't think about it, I have already made it clear that this grain is borrowed, and it will be repaid twice in the future, because they are too greedy.
"There is no reason for a white wolf with empty gloves in this world, and you still need to bet on gambling money.
"If they want to take advantage of me, they naturally have to pay some corresponding chips.
"We didn't steal or rob, and now we still have a note in our hands, no matter where we say it, we are in charge."
Yun Rong also had a little sadness on his face, and when he heard the words, he said: "That's what I said, but Aunt Wang and the others are not temperamental people who can suffer......
"Yun Niang is right, to be honest, I always feel a little unsteady in my heart......"
"It's fine." Qing Dai comforted softly: "Milk, godmother, don't worry, even if they make trouble then, I have a way to deal with it." ”
"Yes, yes, mother, don't worry, don't look at Qingdai's young age, people can be smart......"
"Gollum ......"
An inopportune voice interrupted the conversation of several people.
Qing Dai turned her head to look at Ah Huan, who had been staring at the meat in the back basket in a daze in the corner.
He chuckled and said, "Milk, let's eat first, and we'll talk about these things later." ”
"Yes, yes." Hearing this, Ah Huan hurriedly said, "Milk, let's go cook the meat." ”
Qi Wan nodded her head and scolded with a smile: "Just your mouth." ”
"Okay, children are hungry fast, don't talk about Ah Huan, even adults are hungry, let's eat first."
Zhao Guilan said, turned her head to look at Shi Zhongyi and said, "Father, you pour out this meat, cut a small piece first, and cook it tonight."
"The rest, wait for Yun Niang and Wan Niang to help me cut and dry it together......"
"Milk, so much meat, if it has to be dried, it will have to be hung all over the house.
"If Aunt Wang or other people in the village suddenly come to the house in a few days, I'm afraid it won't be easy to accept ......."
Qing Dai paused and said tentatively: "It's better for us to keep some of it to dry and keep it for later."
"The rest will be sold in the market tomorrow, and they will be exchanged for silver, and they may be able to buy other things."
"Took it to the market and sold it?" Zhao Guilan was a little entangled when she heard this.
What Qing Dai said just now, she actually thought about it a long time ago, but she never thought of selling this meat, but she was thinking about how to find a hidden place to hide the meat.
Without him, I'm really afraid of the days when I ate the last meal and didn't have the next meal.
Now that I finally have this meat, I just want to stay with all of it to feel steady.
"Mother, just do what Qingdai says." Shi Zikang stood at the door at some point.
As he spoke, he walked in with his feet raised and placed the clay pot he was holding in front of several people.
"I just went to see it. There is only so much salt in the house, and it is definitely not enough to seal it all up. ”
"That'...... Is that really going to be sold? ”
"We don't sell it ourselves, tomorrow morning, my eldest brother and I will go to the town and sell the meat to the restaurant."
"If you sell it to a restaurant, the price will definitely be lower."
"Milk, the price is lower, even if this meat is dried, we won't be able to eat it for a while and a half, and it's not safe to put it at home.
"It's not convenient to set up a stall to sell it yourself, but it's better to sell it all to a restaurant at once, which is convenient and trouble-free."
"Yes, mother, Qing Dai is right, now there are more places to use silver at home, and this fat can be left to refine oil.
"It's a waste to keep the rest of the meat to dry. We sold this meat for silver, and we were able to sell some rice and noodles from the side.
"In this way, Ah Huan and the others don't have to follow us all day long to eat wild vegetables and coarse grains."
Zhao Guilan didn't speak, but Shi Zhongyi, who had not spoken on one side, took the lead in saying: "I think what Zikang and Qingdai said is reasonable.
"It's not safe to put so much meat at home, rather than worrying about it all day long for fear of being discovered, it's better to exchange it for silver for peace of mind."
He said and looked at Ah Huan's small ones, and said with a smile: "If you exchange the silver, you can also buy some snacks for Ah Huan and her small ones." ”
"Really, really, there are snacks?" Ah Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "I want to eat sugar gourd......
"Milk, Sister Qingdai and Second Uncle are so smart, it's right to listen to them."
"Just you talk a lot." Qi Wan nodded Ah Huan's head, and said in agreement: "Mother, I think the idea of the second brother and Qingdai has come true."
"This meat will shrink when it dries, and it doesn't taste good, so if you think about it, it's better to sell it."
The daughter-in-law spoke, and Shi Zijian was naturally not willing to fall behind.
Han smiled: "Ah Huan is right, the second brother is smart, and Qingdai also reads a lot, so it's right to listen to them." ”
"Milk, I also think it's ......"
……
"Alright, alright, you're done, what else can I say." Zhao Guilan smiled: "Just do what you say."
"Father, pour out all the meat, cut up what you want to eat tonight and what you left behind, and leave it in the hanging well, and sell it early tomorrow morning."
