"That's it, isn't it? Go home and cook you a pot of soup to taste. ”

Chi Yuan still didn't understand why this thing could be sold for so much silver, but Xiu'er was very satisfied, she looked outside, and no one found it, so she hurriedly pulled Chi Yuan, "Let's go quickly, lest Aunt Zhou come back and see it." ”

"If you want me to say, even if we ask Aunt Zhou for one, she will definitely not say anything, if you see it, you can see it, isn't it just a wooden beard!"

Where has Chi Yuan seen such a fresh thing, Xiu'er has never seen it, nor has she eaten it, she only knows that this thing is very valuable, "How can such a valuable thing be willing to give it to us!" After all, you didn't fall off her, but it's okay to give some small things that you can use on weekdays, this kind of thing, do you think she can give it up? ”

Xiu'er hurriedly pulled Chi Yuan out, ran to the house, turned her head and found that there was still no one, she was frightened, but she finally got it, this thing is well packaged, it is estimated that the Zhou family will not find out, and the couple should pick up a bargain.

"Tomorrow I'll take some silver to buy some chicken, and then I'll make you a pot of chicken soup, so as not to talk about the old days again!"

Just because of the little things during the confinement, Xiu'er always chattered and complained, and Chi Yuan's ears were calloused when he heard it, he didn't want to listen anymore, so it was better to buy some chicken to block her mouth.

"Where did you get your money? When we were kicked out, the pockets were cleaner than our faces......"

Xiu'er probed Chi Yuan up and down, and the husband and wife had no income, Xiu'er wondered, didn't Chi Yuan secretly hide private money behind her back?

"Could it be that I can't advance my wages in advance? Although the relationship is not so good usually, Chi Yue has to call me a brother anyway! As soon as I open my mouth, can this girl not give it to me? ”

Xiu'er's mood instantly brightened, clapping her hands and laughing, "That's good!" Not to mention that the shop went out of business before, Yue'er is also rich now! A starving camel is bigger than a horse! ”

About half an hour later, Zhou also came back and began to clean up, Chi Hao has been reviewing books with peace of mind these days, and every time he reads, he has to read until the second half of the night.

Zhou Shi watched Chi Hao carefully depict the calligraphy on the dinner table again, she took a closer look, but Kena didn't know a single one of the big characters, and she couldn't recognize anything.

"Has Mr. left a lot of homework in recent days? Why do you always watch you write for a long time when you go home? ”

The conditions at home are limited, and Chi Hao can't be provided with a separate study, this table is a dinner table and a desk, but Ji Hao, this kid, never complains.

"Sir, I'm going to do a spot check tomorrow! Besides, my handwriting is much worse than others, if I don't hurry up and study, I'm afraid I'll suffer when it's time to take the exam! ”

At the beginning, when Chi Hao was sent to the school, Zhou only hoped that Chi Hao would know a few more words, but he didn't expect that this kid was ambitious, and he still wanted to take the exam.

"Could it be that you want to go on a scientific expedition with them? You kid......"

The first time Zhou heard Chi Hao say this, she always felt that she was born lowly, and she didn't expect her child to pass the scientific examination and become an official.

"Mother! Hao'er is ambitious, this is the best thing! ”

Chi Yue was really relieved to hear her brother's words, and at the beginning, Chi Yue must send her younger brother to the school and study homework with the teacher, which is really a wise decision.

"That's nature...... Now that the children are studying, they naturally hope to win a way out through scientific examinations! That's what my classmates think. ”

Chi Hao felt that he should think so, his classmates were all from rich and noble families, either someone in the family was an official, or there was some money in the family, and Chi Hao also set up lofty ambitions.

"That's right! Nowadays, the only way out for a man is to pass the scientific examination or go to the battlefield, but I am reluctant to let our Hao'er go to the battlefield, the second sister is waiting for you to study hard and become an official, and the second sister can enjoy happiness when the time comes. ”

Since ancient times, women have not been allowed to go to the school to read and write, Chi Yue is already an exception, and the eldest sister Chi Xin only knows a few simple words, and because of this, she has been coldly regarded in the Li family.

"Then listen to your second sister! Even if you smash the pot and sell iron at home, it will definitely be for you all the way! Presumably, your father has a spirit in heaven, and he will be very pleased to hear you say these words. ”

After Zhou finished speaking, she wiped her tears with emotion, she is a person who is content with the status quo, this life seems to be only for these three children, and now she sees more and more hope, but she feels that the suffering she has suffered over the years is not in vain.

"Yes!" Chi Yue then did her own handiwork, this thing is not very easy to do, if it weren't for the previous life of Chi Yue who had actual combat experience when he graduated from the internship, he wouldn't have been able to do such a complex handicraft at all.

"How long do you have left? Yue'er ...... I'll light another lamp for you, so that you don't spoil your eyes. ”

Zhou watched Chi Yue sit from dawn to dark, and now it was pitch black, Chi Yue was still concentrated, and his eyes didn't blink.

"It's all right, I'm only an hour away...... It is estimated that after we have finished practicing calligraphy, I will be able to finish this. ”

Chi Hao's small black hand held the pen holder, and he wrote very hard one by one, and after writing, he tore off the note again, and then wrote the next one.

"You must calm down when you practice calligraphy, don't be impatient, otherwise you will never be able to practice well."

Seeing that Zhou had already gone out to be busy or boiling hot water and warming the stove, he heard that Chi Hao had already torn several pieces of paper.

Chi Yue comforted, "Everyone else has practiced step by step like this, you are not much smarter than others, you have to work harder!" ”

She saw that this younger brother was also promising, so she also had high hopes for Chi Hao, after all, at a young age, it was the time to be playful, but he could take the initiative to write and practice here, which was also good.

"Second sister, I was originally enlightened late, if it wasn't for the second sister who wanted to send me to the school, I guess I would have stayed in this small mountain village for the rest of my life."

Chi Hao suddenly sighed for some reason, Chi Yue put down the work in his hand, he always felt that there was something wrong with Chi Hao in the past two days, although he worked harder than usual, but this child was not alive, and he was always sad......

"Hao'er, what's wrong? Isn't someone bullying you. ”

Chi Yue thought about it and felt that something was not quite right, Chi Hao never let people, when he was young, he fought with the children in the village, and none of them could win him, but when he went to a strange place, he did not rule out such a possibility.

Chi Hao straightened up, he looked at his second sister looking straight here, he admitted bluntly, "The people there are either rich in the family or have the power in the family, there are really few people like me, it is inevitable to be laughed at, the second sister doesn't have to worry, I also know that this is the way it should be." ”

I really don't know when this kid became so sensible, Chi Yue suddenly felt a little sad, at the beginning, the family business failed, she never thought about anything else, but now when she heard her brother say this, she felt that there might be this part, there was no way for the sugar shop to return to the previous situation all of a sudden, and Chi Hao would also be bullied.

"Is it true that someone is bullying you? Who the hell is it? Which bear child is it...... Tell the second sister, and the second sister will help you educate him. ”

Although Chi Yue knows that her family background is not as good as others, she is just a group of children of her classmates, and she doesn't know where she learned such a crooked style, and she is powerful at a young age, so she naturally wants to discipline her.

"Second sister, it's just a trivial matter, and the second sister shouldn't have listened to what I said."

Chi Hao just refused to say it, it was estimated that it was because that person could not be offended, otherwise according to Chi Hao's temper, how could he easily let this person go!

"Don't think about your family in the future, isn't the sugar shop open now, and there will be a lot of silver in the future, and our family will be the same as these! Don't let others bully, let's fight back when we should, and the second sister is not afraid of them. ”

Chi Yue couldn't stand it the most, and wanted to say a few more words at first, but when she heard Zhou's footsteps, she stopped talking, for fear that Zhou would be in a bad mood when she heard it, and she would think crankily again.

"That's it! Mother is here! ”

Chi Hao looked out very smartly, and it didn't take long for Zhou to come with a plate of fruits.

This thing is just for ordinary pastime, looking at the color of this fruit, Chi Yue can also guess that this is Zhou's homemade.

"Mother, are you okay to make some fruit again?"

Chi Yue picked one, stuffed it in her mouth and chewed it twice, sure enough, it was a little hard, this thing was sold in the market, they were already very flooded in Baihua County, most of them were fried and fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, wrapped in a thin layer of syrup, and it was delicious, and the slightly more expensive ones could be sprinkled with white sesame seeds or black sesame seeds, but Zhou's did not make this.

Zhou Shi can't help herself on weekdays, she loves to think about these at home, pointing to things to make them hard, and falling on the ground like a pebble, she also feels a little embarrassed, "It's the first time I've done it...... Thinking that Haozi loved to eat before, I didn't expect it to be like this! ”

Ji Hao gave face, stuffed another one into his mouth, and bit it up with a click.

"I don't think I'm so sleepy when I chew it!"

Chi Yue snorted and laughed out loud, Chi Hao is a childlike talker, he will say whatever he thinks, Zhou simply ordered Chi Yue directly, "Tomorrow, or you will bring a little from the bazaar...... It's time to satisfy this child's cravings! ”

Zhou fumbled to get some silver, the family's silver money was stretched, and Chi Yue also knew, fortunately, he had saved some jewelry before, and Chi Yue could afford these fruits.

"Mother! You can keep those things for groceries...... I have it in my hand, and I will be able to eat the fragrant fruit tomorrow! ”
