Zhu Xiao woke up suddenly, looked at the person in front of him defensively, and it took a while to tell where she was tonight and where she was.

"Second sister, you lie down and rest, I'll fetch water to wash your face later!" Zhu Hua'er whispered.

"Good!"

Zhu Xiao answered, lay down and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep again.

Zhu Hua'er looked at Zhu Jinzhi, and still gave her some rice, vegetables, and meat.

gave Zhu Zhaodi the most meat, and Zhu Jinzhi was slightly less, but more than her.

Zhu Jinzhi pursed his lips, and when he started to eat, he sandwiched a piece of meat to Zhu Hua'er, turned around awkwardly, and ate it in a big gulp.

The meat is so fragrant, the vegetables are fragrant, and the rice is delicious.

Zhu Zhaodi also leaned against the wall, took a bowl and ate in a small bite, and glanced at Zhu Xiao who was asleep from time to time, the feeling in her heart was not very comfortable.

Such a fragrant meal, but she chewed out the bitter taste.

She is the eldest sister, and she should take care of and protect her two younger sisters, but now she needs her sister to take care of her.

Zhu Hua'er was innocent in the end, she smiled when she ate, as for Zhao's words, she hid them in her heart and planned not to say anything.

lest the two sisters be sad.

Zhu Erlang arrived at Dr. Zhang's house, Dr. Zhang looked at the calamus he picked, was silent for a moment, and finally accepted it all and gave fifty yuan.

When Zhu Erlang was leaving, Dr. Zhang couldn't help but say, "Erlang, don't send calamus tomorrow, there are so many, I won't need it for a while!" ”

"......" Zhu Erlang scratched his head, "Don't worry, Doctor Zhang, I'll send the herbs for farewell tomorrow!" ”

"Well, you can bring some prunella or something!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Erlang responded.

But I thought in my heart that if I could make money from hunting, I wouldn't let Zhu Xiao pick herbs, there were many crises in the mountains, so it was better to stay at home, learn needlework, and take care of your body.

He hopes that his children will be in good health, marry a good family, have children and grandchildren, and live a long life.

On the way back, Zhu Erlang counted the money in his hand, how to use it?

He wanted to take his three children to the big medical hall in the town to see if there was any kind of health pill, no need to decoction every day, take one or two or three pills a day, and slowly recuperate their bodies.

He didn't dare to use the money indiscriminately......

Back home, Zhao looked at Zhu Erlang and his eyes were red, Zhu Erlang ignored her, went to the well to fetch water and brought it into the bath room to take a bath, Zhu Huaer boiled water in the kitchen, and shouted sweetly, "Dad, are you going to take a bath?" ”

"Hmm!"

"I boiled hot water for the second sister to wash, but the second sister fell asleep tired, dad, you take it first, the second sister said, it's not good to take a bath in cold water!"

Zhu Erlang smiled, and his heart was very close.

"Okay!"

I went to the kitchen and brought water into the bathroom, and washed myself carefully.

came out refreshed, and naturally put away the silver properly.

Zhao stood at the door, "Erlang ......"

"Huh?"

"Did you catch anything today?" Zhao asked softly.

Apprehensive.

"There is a wild boar hunted, and they should be sent to the town for their wealth!"

"That's great!" Zhao smiled, and hurriedly took the clothes that Zhu Erlang had changed, "I'll go and wash your clothes!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Erlang wanted Zhao to wash the clothes for his three daughters, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say anything.

He hopes that the Zhao family will regain his heart as a mother little by little and be better to his three children.

Thinking of the three children, Zhu Erlang went to the backyard chicken pen, caught a hen, and returned to the kitchen.

"Daddy?" Zhu Hua'er was stunned and whispered.

"Hua'er, you boil some boiling water, let's drink chicken and drink chicken soup at night!"

“……”

Zhu Hua'er was stunned, and immediately went to boil the water happily.

Speaking of chicken and chicken soup, if you think about it carefully, she has never eaten chicken that she has raised for several years.

In previous years, the silver was sold for the New Year, and it was saved and used as a bundle.

Zhu Jinzhi and Zhu Jinhong were surprised and pleasantly surprised, helping to boil water to pick beans.

I went to pick pumpkins again.

It's just that there is no grain for cooking, flour, coarse grains, and rice are all locked in the cupboard.

In other words, if the Lu family doesn't come back today, there will be no food for dinner.

Zhu Erlang looked at the lock on the door of the warehouse, turned around and went back to the kitchen, found the axe, directly split the lock with an axe, and took out rice and noodles from it, "Eat rice at night and make a few more vegetable cakes!" ”

Zhu Hua'er looked at Zhu Erlang as if she had never known each other.

Zhu Xiao took a bath, went to wash his clothes and came back, looking at the rice and white noodles on the table, he was also stunned for a while.

But suddenly I understood.

Zhu Erlang may really want to go out of the house, so he is extraordinarily wanton, as long as Old Man Zhu and the Lu family can't get used to him like this, they will go out in two rooms.

Isn't that what they ask for?

"I'll cook it!" After Zhu Xiao finished speaking, he dried his clothes and went to the kitchen to cook......

town

Old man Zhu sold rabbits and got money, so he and Lu went to the academy to pick up Zhu Mingguang, went to the restaurant in the town, and ordered two meat dishes, one meat dish, and three bowls of rice.

Lu Shi looked at Zhu Mingguang with a smile, and kept serving him vegetables, "Mingguang eat more!" ”

Zhu Mingguang is seventeen years old, studying in the academy, his knowledge is not bad, plus there is an uncle at home who is a Xiucai, his family is good, unlike those poor students who can't afford to eat, his clothes are neat and tidy, and he is not bullied by anyone in the academy, and the master is also good to him, so he has a kind of self-confidence temperament.

Zhu Mingguang's face is fair, and his hands are hands that have not worked all year round, white and tender, that is, there are calluses between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand.

took the chopsticks and put the vegetables in Lu's bowl, "Grandma eats it too!" ”

I put it in Old Man Zhu's bowl again, "Grandpa also eats vegetables!" ”

picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Old Man Zhu, "Grandpa drink some wine, but this wine is too bad, when I have a chance in the future, I will buy the best wine for Grandpa!" ”

Lu Shi smiled very happily.

Old man Zhu also laughed, took a sip of the wine glass, and took a sip.

But his mind was a little wandering.

He knows that now that the family is like this, if Erlang doesn't care about the family anymore, what will Mingguang do in the future?

Something, in the end, is done wrong.

Now he wants to make up for it, but he doesn't know how to make up for it, Erlang is afraid that he will no longer be willing to pay for this family, and several children will no longer work, there are no one or two thousand eggs a month, and there are more than 100 rabbits and a few pigs to sell, and now the pigs are gone, the rabbits are gone, only chickens and eggs remain......

How can this money be enough?

He also thought about sending Jin Hong to the academy as well.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Zhu Mingguang asked.

I can't help but be a little worried.

"Alas!" Lu Shi sighed when he heard this, and just happened to speak, but he was glanced at by Old Man Zhu, and he was suddenly silent and didn't dare to say anything.

Old man Zhu smiled and patted Zhu Mingguang's shoulder, "Don't think nonsense, there's nothing to do, follow the master to study well, and be admitted to the child's life!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Mingguang nodded, and the smart one didn't ask more.

As for the situation at home, he knows the door.

After the three of them ate, Lu Shi took a purse out, "Mingguang, this is the pocket money given to you by Grandpa and Grandma, not much is only 500 Wen, you can buy it when you take what you need to buy, don't be wronged yourself!" ”

At this moment, the smile, gentleness, and love on Lu's face, and when facing the two rooms and three sisters, it was like a sky and a place, as if they had changed their faces, which made people feel cold all over their bodies......
