Chapter 9: Eating
This county magistrate is so handsome!
Shen Yuerong was still thinking about making money, otherwise she really wanted to take a second look.
She withdrew her gaze from staring at the person in the sedan chair and led her brother to buy food.
"Selling sugar gourds, selling sugar gourds ......"
Shen Nianhua turned his head to look at the shouting, unable to move his steps anymore, staring at the sugar gourd with a pair of big eyes with bright light.
"Nian'er, do you want to eat sugar gourd? My sister will take you to buy it! ”
Shen Yuerong looked at her younger brother with a greedy face, and her saliva was about to flow down, which really made people laugh.
Unexpectedly, Shen Nianhua stretched out his hand and grabbed his sister who was going to the direction of the sugar gourd: "Sister, I don't want it!" A string of sugar gourds costs three cents, and it's not full! ”
Shen Nianhua's head shook like a rattle, clutching the corners of his sister's clothes, for fear that his sister would waste money.
How can any child not be hungry for candy?
What's more, it's Shen Nianhua, who has never eaten sugar gourds at all.
He looked at the small sticks covered with crystal clear red confectionery, and really wanted to bite into it with a crisp sound.
Shen Nianhua sucked the saliva that flowed to his mouth, tilted his head, and his big black eyes flashed with determination.
"Sister, let's go, Nian'er doesn't want to eat sugar gourd, Nian'er wants to eat oil sugar skin!"
Shen Nianhua pointed to a fritter stall not far away.
Shen Yuerong was not afraid of wasting money, but seeing that his younger brother was so sensible, he didn't insist.
This child is seriously insecure, for fear that the money will be gone.
As long as you make good money and make a lot of money, are you still afraid that your younger brother won't be able to eat good things in the future?
"Okay, if Nian'er wants to eat oil candy skin, we'll buy it."
Shen Yuerong took her younger brother's hand and happily walked to the fritter stall.
A freshly fried oil sugar skin is only a penny, and the sister and brother bought one.
Shen Yuerong also spent two pennies on a meat bun at the bun shop next door, and carefully wrapped it and put it in his arms.
The sister and brother thought of a way to make money, ate again, and went home satisfied.
"Sister, that county official is so majestic today!" Shen Nianhua showed a look of envy on his face.
"Ah, our family also wants to be majestic."
Shen Yuerong teased this cute brother with interest, and reached out to scratch his brother's nose.
"The young man is so good-looking, wearing an official hat and wearing an official uniform must be more majestic than the county order."
Shen Nianhua was a little embarrassed by what her sister said, "Sister, if I had such a majesty, I could protect you, and my stepmother wouldn't dare to bully us!" ”
The younger brother turned out to have this thought, Shen Yuerong was a little moved, looking at the younger brother's childish little face, but his eyes were full of determination.
Shen Yuerong said: "Nian'er, of course you can be so majestic when you grow up." ”
"You have to study hard and learn more knowledge, and when you learn the skills, you will definitely be more majestic than today's county officials when you grow up."
Shen Nianhua looked at her sister's sincerity, not like a joke.
"Sister, it costs a lot of money to study! The school in the village costs two taels of silver a year, how can I go to school? ”
As he spoke, Shen Nianhua's long eyelashes drooped, he lowered his head, and took the branch in his hand and pulled it on the ground to hide his loss.
"Nian'er, my sister is not joking with you, you just have to tell my sister if you want to go to school? You don't have to worry about the money if you don't have money. ”
Shen Yuerong knew that although his younger brother was young, he also needed to respect his ideas.
Shen Nianhua stopped, stood in place, pursed his mouth, and his two small black eyebrows were twisted like twisted flowers.
There is no doubt that he would love to go to school.
Every time he sees everyone playing all the way to the school at the door of his home, he is very envious!
When he sneaked out to play with his friends, his friends who had gone to school were writing on the ground, and he watched carefully every time, learned, and when he turned around, he worked the ground to write and draw.
After reading books and learning knowledge, it would be best if you could become an official.
Even if he didn't become an official, like Wang Xiucai next door, he studied and became a showman, and he was very prestigious in the village.
If you have the ability and can make money, then your mother will never bully her sister and brother again, and she will be able to eat enough.
Thinking of this, Shen Nianhua was even more determined in his thoughts.
"Sister, I want to go to school, I want to learn skills, and I want to be an official in the future!"
Shen Nianhua raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and his big black eyes seemed to burst in the next second.
Shen Yuerong looked at her younger brother's aggrieved and determined appearance, pulled her younger brother into her arms, and comforted her softly.
"Don't worry, my sister will definitely have a way to let you go to school."
Shen Yuerong thought that after making money, she must find a way to send her younger brother to the school first.
Even if you can't be an official after studying, it's better to be a bookkeeper or something than farming in the village.
The sister and brother did not delay all the way, and when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they found that it was still early.
The stepmother suffered such a big loss today, she will definitely not give up, her father is not at home, and there will be no one to protect her sister and brother at that time.
Thinking of the morning, a smug look appeared on Shen Yuerong Baixi's face.
This Lin Muqiu is really easy to deceive, but now he is too thin to be positive, and he is easy to suffer.
"Nian'er, let's not go home first, our stepmother was deceived by us today, and she must be waiting at home to beat us."
After listening to what his sister said, Shen Nianhua also remembered the one in the morning.
There was a sad look on his delicate face, and his eyebrows were constricted.
"Sister, what should we do then?"
Shen Yuerong bent down and touched the furrowed eyebrows on her younger brother's face.
"It's okay, let's play for a while, and when Daddy is about to come home, we'll go home."
Shen Yuerong took her younger brother and walked slowly on the country road.
The two of them had enough of playing, and then they walked home leisurely.
As soon as Shen Yuerong stepped into the courtyard, she saw Lin Muqiu standing in the courtyard, and her face was about to collapse to the ground.
Her convex eyes glared fiercely at Shen Yuerong's sister and brother, and raised the bamboo strip in her hand.
Shen Yuerong looked at this bamboo stick and gasped.
This is not the bamboo strip that the sister and brother usually beat! This is a bamboo!
This "bamboo" is as thick as Shen Yuerong's little arm!!
