When I woke up, the sky was still bright.

However, Chu Yunniang was no longer in bed.

Xiao Qiongzhi was afraid of waking up the sleeping dogs and stones on the bed not far away, so he tiptoed to get dressed and got out of bed, and planned to go to the kitchen to get hot water to wash his face first, and then go to the two green bamboos in front of the house to practice kung fu.

Before I entered the kitchen, I smelled the unique fragrance of Poria cocos.

Yesterday, I dug up so many poria cocos from the mountains and came back, and it is estimated that every family can share a few catties.

I don't know how many more can be dug up next

If you dig up a lot and store it, the grain for next spring will be lost.

Xiao Qiongzhi thought as she walked into the kitchen.

Liu Wuxiu was burning the fire by the stove, and Chu Yunniang was slicing a piece of city brick cake that had been steamed softly.

Seeing her come in, Liu Wuxiu immediately greeted her: "Zhi'er, you came just in time, I simmered two eggs for you to eat, it's just cooked, come and eat!" ”

As she spoke, she pulled out two eggs from the fire in the stove, didn't care about the burning, grabbed one of them with her hands, wiped it on her clothes, and peeled it for Xiao Qiongzhi to eat.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu." Xiao Qiongzhi smiled at her, took it in her hand, and was not in a hurry to eat.

Because, Chu Yunniang had already called hot water at the right time and was washing her face.

Later, he mixed it with salt water and rinsed her mouth.

In this era, salt is a very expensive thing, even when cooking, it is very small, and no one in the family except her has this kind of treatment.

After washing, Liu Wuxiu had already peeled another egg.

Xiao Qiongzhi took the egg, sat down on the stove next to Liu Wuxiu, and asked while eating: "Aunt Liu, I fell asleep yesterday, and I didn't have time to see the patriarch and grandfather, how to deal with those guys who seriously injured our village and killed our villagers, can you tell me?" ”

"Good. That's right, the guys who seriously injured the people of our village, the patriarch punished them according to what they told you before, and punished them to compensate our village for being seriously injured by them, and each of them had fifty catties of miscellaneous grain. ”

"However, yesterday, when the magistrate dealt with Zhou Youqiu and them, he told the patriarch that in the future, as long as there are robbers from all villages and tribes who kill people and set fires, they can directly kill them first, or deal with them according to the clan rules first, and then report to him."

"Therefore, the patriarch asked the seven brothers of Xujia Village who killed the clansmen of our village to sink into the pond overnight." Liu Wuxiu said with great interest.

Xiao Qiongzhi was willing to eat her simmered eggs, and was willing to ask her something, which showed that Xiao Qiongzhi did not anger her at all because of the confusion of dogs and stones yesterday.

It's so sensible and painful.

It's not in vain that she quietly went to Wang Chunhua's house last night, secretly brought back these two eggs, and gave them to her.

You must know that since Bi Li Zhu's death, in order to no longer be honest because of things, Chu Yunniang, Zhou Dayong, and Xiao Qiongzhi have been embarrassed, and she has been washing her hands for more than a month.

"I said yesterday to the people who helped our village dig Poria cocos, they will reward them with a pound of Poria for every fifty catties of Poria they help our village dig, and then I fell asleep, has anyone mentioned this matter to the patriarch grandfather?" Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't imagine that the egg in his hand was stolen by Liu Wuxiu, so he asked curiously.

Liu Wuxiu glanced at her approvingly, and replied with a smile: "As soon as the big hero saw the patriarch, he told him about it." The patriarch praised you for your good idea, and according to what you said, he gave a reward to all the people who came back from digging poria, whether it was enough for fifty catties or not. ”

"In addition, the big hero also told the patriarch and the big brave brother about the patriarch of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village, who wanted to send the children of their village to learn literacy and kung fu from the big hero and the big brave brother."

"Like the big heroes, the big brave brothers are also willing to teach their children. However, the patriarch said that your family has few houses and many people, and it is inconvenient to go to class, so let them choose ten children from Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village to study, only less, not more. ”

Zhou Yuandong's actions are really reassuring.

Xiao Qiongzhi listened carefully and was very satisfied.

She happily left the kitchen and went to practice her kung fu under the two green bamboos at the front of the house.

At this time, Zheng Bang had been practicing there for a while.

Seeing Xiao Qiongzhi coming, he withdrew his moves, regained his momentum, and practiced with Xiao Qiongzhi.

At the beginning of the day, it was time for breakfast.

By this time, the sky had enlarged and brightened.

Xiao Qiongzhi finished practicing and went back to the house with Zheng Bang.

As soon as I arrived at the table, I found that Chu Yunniang, Zhou Dayong, and Zheng Wuxiu were all present.

But the dogs and stones that usually sit early have not yet come.

Curious, she turned her head to look at the bed they were sleeping in.

Only to find out that they were not in bed.

It is estimated that it was for yesterday's incident, and he was punished by Liu Wuxiu?

These two boys, who have repeatedly played cautious for the sake of stuttering, are too unruly and need to be taught more lessons.

Xiao Qiongzhi didn't care, and when Zheng Bang, who was a guest, was invited by Liu Wuxiu to take the lead in eating with chopsticks, he immediately followed suit.

And, probably because there are no dogs or stones to disturb it, this meal feels extraordinarily delicious.

After the meal, Liu Wuxiu saw that the weather outside was good, and proposed to everyone to wash the glutinous rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes that Xiao Qiongzhi bought yesterday, and try to cook them in the pot tomorrow morning and make them into city brick cakes.

There is no opinion on everyone.

However, Xiao Qiongzhi suddenly remembered something, stopped Zheng Bang, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, when I passed by the township yesterday, I exchanged the silver for the silver ticket, who helped me put it away later?" ”

"I'll keep it for you and put it in the secret room in the tunnel." Zheng Bang replied.

This is what it means that Chu Yunniang has not yet known.

Anyway, according to Chu Yunniang's character, it is impossible to think crankily because of this little thing.

Xiao Qiongzhi said directly: "Then let's take out the part that we want to take to the patriarch and the three brothers of Grandpa Yuangeng and give it to them." ”

"Okay." Zheng Bang immediately took Xiao Qiongzhi into the tunnel and into the secret room.

However, the secret room was empty and there was nothing.

Xiao Qiongzhi was feeling strange, Zheng Bang walked to the corner of the secret room, pressed the corner, and from behind the corner, a small secret room appeared.

This secret room, when designing the secret room and digging the secret room, was originally not available.

It is estimated that Zheng Bang deliberately dug it up secretly and used it for himself, without planning to let others know.

In the small secret room, there are three brand-new wooden boxes, large and small.

It is estimated that Zheng Bang deliberately made it for himself.

Xiao Qiongzhi opened the top wooden box, looked down, and found that it contained exactly the silver she exchanged from the money bank yesterday, and the silver Zheng Bang exchanged from the pawnshop.

In addition, the box also contained two burdens that Qian Zhuang and the pawnshop gave to her and Zheng Bang yesterday to hold silver.

Xiao Qiongzhi, with the assistance of Zheng Bang, used the big burden to wrap three hundred taels of silver, and used the small burden to wrap one hundred and five taels of silver.
