Chapter Seventy-Nine: Butterfly Hunting

The time entered June in a flash, and Zeng Ruixiang and Zeng Zifu went home from the summer vacation. The next day, they took a big watermelon to the old house to see the old man and them, and when they came back, they heard Zeng Ruixiang tell Shen that Xia Yu had decided to adopt the little girl, and the old man wanted to send Xia Yu back and let him go with him to have a look.

Shen listened and prepared two pieces of flower cloth and asked Zeng Ruixiang to take them as a meeting gift, and Ziqing picked two large watermelons and brought them away. There is a lot of rain this year, and although the watermelon has been harvested, Ziqing feels that it is not as sweet as last year's melon, so the initial selling price in May is cheaper than last year's, 18 wen a catty, the same as the year before. However, this year, I planted a lot, fifteen acres, and the income should be very considerable.

Zeng Ruixiang came back and said that the child was really pitiful, thin and small, with scars all over his body, he didn't dare to speak when he saw people, and he was dressed in tatters, and he didn't know how the stepmother did it, Xia Yu did a good deed to accumulate virtue this time. When the mother-in-law sees someone, she exaggerates the kindness of her daughter-in-law.

No matter what the process is, this matter finally has a good ending, and Ziqing still feels happy for the little cousin who has never met.

As soon as Zeng Ruixiang came back, he said to Zilu: "Lu'er, you don't have to cut rice at home this year, you and your brother have nothing to do at home to review your homework, don't run around, Daddy plans to take you to the county to study with him when school starts, are you willing?" ”

"Yes, Daddy, really? Can I go to the county too? Zilu's face was full of disbelief?

Ziqing also looked up at her father, Zilu has only been enlightened for a year and a half, so in such a hurry to send him to the county, does his father have any other plans?

"Don't you believe what Daddy says? It's just that your foundation is still a little thinner, you have to make up for it this holiday, and you have to practice your words well, write at least ten articles a day, can you do it? Memorize the "Four Books". If you don't understand the meaning in it, you can ask your brother or your father. Every three days, my father will take the school exam. ”

"Yes, the kid remembers." Zilu replied respectfully. Wait for Zeng Ruixiang to go out. Zilu grabbed Ziqing excitedly and said, "Qing'er, the second brother can also go to the county to study, oh." I couldn't be happier. ”

Zifu took his hand and said, "Little Er, the county is not as good as the town. You must work hard, don't be afraid, big brother will help you. ”

"But you're gone, I'll miss you." Ziqing's heart is really conflicted, not only hoping that they can go out one by one and have some achievements in the future, but also hoping to accompany her for a few more years. She is only eight years old, and she has only been here for less than three years, so how can she accept separation one by one.

"Sister, it's not like we're not coming back, we'll go home on vacation, at most I'll catch some frogs for you to eat this holiday, okay?" Zilu coaxed.

However, the earth frog was not caught in the end, Zifu was cut last year, Shen was a little worried, and Zeng Ruixiang also said that Zilu needed to practice more words. Zilu had no choice but to look at Ziqing apologetically.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Shen's body is getting heavier and heavier, but fortunately, Shen still knows how to control his diet. The food is relatively fine, unlike Zhou, who only knows how to eat blindly, and his body is fat.

Ziqing made her mother a loose maternity skirt with seven sleeves, so that Shen could wear it at home, Shen was not happy, "Mother, I didn't let you go out to wear it, just at home, we won't laugh at you, if someone comes, you change it again, and you want to be cool." ”

"Yes, you have a big body, and you are more prone to heat, what are you afraid of at home, with me." Zeng Ruixiang also persuaded.

Shen changed his clothes shyly, seeing that Ziqing was in a hurry, fortunately he still did seven points.

This morning, Zeng Ruixiang took Zifu and Zilu to work hard in the study, He and Shen made children's clothes in the house, Ziqing took Zishou and Zixi to catch butterflies in the garden, the courtyard wall is full of flowers and vines, there are roses, morning glory and honeysuckle, there are always butterflies fluttering on it, the sun is not big, Ziqing is afraid that Zishou and Zixi are noisy in the house, Zifu They are not good at reading in Ansheng, so they took them out, who knew that they happened to see a big butterfly with red and blue spots stopped on a rose, Ziqing saw that this butterfly was more than half a foot wide when it opened, and her heart itched, and she chased it for a long time, but found nothing, and when she was taking a breath, she heard the voice of people outside the door, and one of them was Tian's voice.

Zishou was close, opened the door, and sure enough, it was Tian who brought her sister-in-law, Ziqing said that her aunt and mother-in-law came in, Tian saw Ziqing's sweaty face and messy hair, and he was a little displeased at first, pouted, and said, "Look at you, what do you look like?" What a wild girl. ”

Ziqing hurriedly stood up and called someone, and Xiao Tian said: "It's still a child, only a few years old, you see how nice it is." ”

Before Ziqing led them into the house, she also glanced back at the butterfly, still hovering among the flowers, and after a while, she would still move the rescuers, she couldn't do anything.

Shen and Zeng Ruixiang saw the visitors, hurriedly picked them up, and said hello, Ziqing knew that they adults had something to say, and pulled Zifu and Zilu aside, Zifu was about to rest and change his mind, and after hearing Ziqing say that he caught butterflies, how could he not allow it, and he was about to go out after pulling Ziqing, Zilu smiled and said in the back: "You guys are going empty-handed like this?" You won't be able to catch it until dinner. ”

Ziqing looked back at him, Zilu went to find a small bamboo pole that had taken Ziqing to fish duckweed before, and there was a gauze sleeve on it, Ziqing suddenly realized that he was really going back more and more, and he actually forgot to use tools.

With tools, it is naturally much easier to do, Zifu snatched the bamboo pole over, and said, "I'm the boss, I'll come first, and see the eldest brother show you a hand." ”

The five people found the butterfly and swarmed it, the butterfly ran early, Zifu was busy for a long time, but he caught a dragonfly, "Qing'er, the dragonfly is also beautiful." ”

"I'll do it anyway." Zilu took over the bamboo pole, Zilu has always been dexterous, such as catching loaches and earth frogs, these are stronger than Zifu, and the practice is agility, Zilu saw the position of the butterfly, did not let everyone follow, he leaned over lightly, and helped Ziqing catch the butterfly as soon as he made a move.

"Haha, the second brother is still amazing, the second brother is so powerful, he caught it all at once." Zishou clapped his hands and said.

"The second brother is amazing, the second brother is amazing." Zixi also jumped and clapped his hands and laughed.

"What do you know, little brat, there are so many big brothers." Zifu gently pinched Zixi.

Ziqing went back to the study and found a book for them to practice calligraphy, clamped the butterflies, and kept them as specimens. It just so happens that practicing embroidery these days can come in handy.

Ziqing cleaned up in the clean room, and wanted to go back to the house to change her clothes, and when she walked to the door, she saw that several people had red eyes, obviously just cried. (To be continued)
