Chapter 8 Encouraging my brother to go to school

Yang was very moved to listen to Chrysanthemum's words, and Wang also agreed, and both of them felt that it was a big deal to make Aoki literate.

Chrysanthemum didn't wait for Aoki to object, so she said to him: "Brother don't be in a hurry to say no, wait for the harvest next year." If our harvest is good, you can read it. Aren't there still people who are dozens of years old and still taking the test for talent and lifting, why are you going to study at such a young age? If you learn more things, won't our family be better off in the future? ”

Aoki looked at her sister strangely, when did she understand so much?

Yang made a decision on the spot and decided to send his son to study next year. Daughters have such a long-term vision, so can a mother be more knowledgeable than a girl? Chrysanthemum is right, it's serious to learn more skills, otherwise working at home every day is not poor? Didn't he and his father work for half a lifetime, and the family is still like this.

Wang Shi looked at the chrysanthemum and exclaimed: "If you want me to say, our family is still the smartest chrysanthemum!" "Poor baby, if it weren't for this face......

Chrysanthemum pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that everyone cared about her, and she spoke carefully.

Aoki saw that his mother really wanted to study by herself, and asked hesitantly: "I go to study, how can the family be busy?" ”

Yang said unhappily: "Isn't there still me and your father?" Our old bones haven't fallen apart yet! It's not for you to play, your sister wants you to go, and she has more knowledge than you. ”

Chrysanthemum said to Aoki, "Brother, I miss studying too!" ”

Aoki looked at Chrysanthemum with his mouth open, not knowing how to answer.

Chrysanthemum said softly, "You don't think I go to school too, do you?" If you go to school, wouldn't it be good to come back and teach me how to read? You go to school alone, but it's the two of us. After saying that, he looked at Aoki without blinking.

Aoki immediately nodded heavily and said, "Okay, my brother will go to school, learn more things and come back to teach my sister." ”

Chrysanthemum's wish came true, and she felt very relieved, looking at Aoki and smiling. She thought, I can still afford to go to school, and I will definitely be able to raise these pigs and chickens.

Yang and Wang are also happy, as if as long as Aoki goes to school, he can learn a full stomach.

After peeling the acorns, the rest was left to the two siblings, and the grandmother and Yang went to the kitchen again. Aoki smashed the kernels according to the chrysanthemum's requirements, and then soaked them in a wooden barrel with water; After that, the water was changed every once in a while, changed four or five times, and soaked for two days before it was fed to the pigs, and the pigs were naturally willing to eat.

In the kitchen, while cooking with the help of Wang's, Yang wiped her tears and said to her mother: "Mother, what do you think we can do with chrysanthemums?" Every time I look at this girl so cute, I can't bear it. ”

Wang sighed and said, "That's why you have to work hard!" It was also right to send Aoki to study. As long as you live well, Chrysanthemum really can't get married, and you're not afraid. ”

Yang nodded, and asked Wang again: "Mother, what is the character of the girl of Liu Fugui's family?" I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that she will dislike our chrysanthemums. ”

Wang Shi smiled: "The eight characters haven't been a mile yet, what do you care?" If you want me to say, it doesn't matter whose daughter you marry, you have to separate and live separately after you marry back, she just doesn't like her sister-in-law - and she doesn't eat in the same pot. Chrysanthemums are no worse than Liu Fugui's daughter, when the time comes, your husband and wife will live a prosperous life with their daughters, and no one's face will have to look! ”

Yang nodded again and again, feeling that this was really to the heart, and it was better to rely on no one than on yourself. It's that Aoki is good to Chrysanthemum, but if he marries a daughter-in-law in the future, he can't make him embarrassed.

The two of them talked about inviting the matchmaker to Liu Fugui's house again, and after careful consideration, they picked the matchmaker Wang from Qingbei Village to take this trip - it's not how good the matchmaker is, it's just that the picture is close, and what news will be known immediately.

At noon, Zheng Changhe returned home and was very happy to see his mother-in-law coming, and smiled innocently. He also carried a string of small fish threaded with branches in one hand, and shook it in front of the chrysanthemum like a treasure, and said, "Girl, this is for you to make soup to drink." This fish doesn't send it. ”

Chrysanthemum knew that he was talking about allergies on his face when he ate shrimp, and her heart was warm, she glanced at her father, reached out to pick up the string of fish, and whispered: "I'll clean it up, and it will be done in a while." It just so happened that my grandmother came, and there was nothing to eat. ”

At the lunch table, Yang told her husband that she and Chrysanthemum supported her son to study.

Of course, Zheng Changhe agrees. He doesn't have many children, and he is very precious to a pair of children, and the two babies are both worry-free and obedient, so he has never objected to anything involving the babies.

"I was in a trance who said that our village took in an old Xiucai, and the village chief was going to ask him to teach the village babies - those dolls don't have to go to Xiatangji if they want to study. If that's the case, that's very convenient! ”

Aoki's face froze when he heard thisβ€”was he going to sit and read with those little babies who were dragging their noses?

Chrysanthemum looked at her brother with sparkling eyes, and she didn't allow him to regret it.

Aoki remembered his heavy responsibility, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "I'll go to the village chief's house in the afternoon to ask, if there is such a thing, I will go to study early." ”

Chrysanthemum pursed her lips and smiled with satisfaction, and Yang and Zheng Changhe also nodded again and again.

Wang said with a smile: "If Aoki goes to school, he will definitely have a future in the future." Grandma is waiting to enjoy your blessings! ”

Zheng Changhe smiled: "Mother, depending on what you said, Aoki and Chrysanthemum will be filial to you in the future." ”

Wang's life was not blessed, and after having lunch at Chrysanthemum's house, regardless of Yang's retention, she immediately hurried back - her family was also very busy!

Aoki walked with his grandmother, and because he wanted to go to the village chief's house to inquire about the school, he sent his grandmother by the way, Yang gave her mother a bag of peanuts, more than a dozen catties!

"Aoki, where is this?" As soon as he left Qingnan Village, an ox cart came behind him, and the village man who drove asked Aoki in a loud voice.

"Uncle Cheng, I'll send my grandmother! Uncle, where is this? Aoki hurriedly asked when he saw Uncle Cheng driving the ox cart. If it was in the past, he would not have answered so carefully, but today I want to ask this old uncle if he is on the way, and see if he can take his grandmother for a ride.

Uncle Cheng grinned happily: "I'm going to Xiatangji to pull some things." Let your grandmother come up, and I'll give her a ride. ”

Aoki was so happy that he hurriedly helped his grandmother into the car.

Wang Shi said happily: "It's really embarrassing for the big nephew! Then I'll borrow it. ”

Uncle Cheng smiled: "Look at what you always say, it's just a matter of the way." Sit tight, drive! ”

After Wang sat down, he waved his hand to Aoki and said, "Aoki, go get busy!" Come and see your grandmother when you're free! ”

Aoki agreed, watching the ox cart jolt away before turning around and walking towards the village chief's house.

Before he had walked a few steps, a person came up to him, and when he saw Aoki, he exclaimed in surprise, "Aoki, why are you here?" ”

Aoki saw that it was Zhang Huai, holding his sleeves and trouser legs, as if he had just returned from the field. He snorted coldly, ignored him with a stalk, and walked straight forward.

Zhang Huai hurriedly stopped him and said, "Aoki, what, why are you still angry?" Don't be angry, okay? Why don't you beat me up again? ”

Seeing that he was holding him back, Aoki said unhappily, "Who is angry with you?" I don't bother to pay attention to you! After saying that, he gave him a disdainful look, and strode around him.

Zhang Huai hurriedly followed, laughing and saying soft words, asking him to forgive himself. There is only one good friend in this village who can speak, and ignoring him for so many days is simply embarrassing and crazy!

Aoki turned around and glared at him angrily, and said angrily with a tense face, "You follow me again?" Get out of here! After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Zhang Huai looked at Aoki's resolute back, feeling guilty, sad and angry! It's sad that this Aoki really ignores himself; Naturally, the annoyed flower woman is the mouthy and tongue-in-law; I feel guilty that I don't speak through my brain, which makes Chrysanthemum gossip.

My mother is right, if Chrysanthemum's face is not bitten by poison, I am afraid that I will not be able to ask for this family business! Thinking about the gentleness and virtuousness of chrysanthemums on weekdays, I can't find anything bad except for the problems on my face, so I regret it more and more!

Just thinking about it, a thin woman came over with a twist and a hip, isn't it a flower woman!

"Ouch! Huaizi, what are you doing? Stupid people standing here? Hua Pozi smiled with her mouth open, her eyes rolled, and she glanced at Zhang Huai inquiringly-Did you meet someone's daughter, thinking about spring here? She won't let go of the slightest novelty in the family.

Zhang Huai was furious, glared at this flower woman viciously, and wanted to scold her a few words, she was a junior, and it would be troublesome to turn around and ask her to pull out something even more unpleasant.

So, while turning his head and leaving, he muttered: "Gossip behind people's backs, after death, you will pull out your tongue and go to hell!" ”

Hua Pozi was eagerly looking forward to asking what the young man was thinking just now, but when Zhang Huai said this, she immediately stopped: "Oh, Huaizi, what are you talking about?" Why am I just gossiping? Oh, don't you mean the chrysanthemum? Didn't you say that day that you wouldn't marry Chrysanthemum, I passed it on blindly? You said it all, and you still blame me? ”

Zhang Huai is so angry, I can't wait to eat this flower woman! Well, I can't eat it - I don't want to pull a few skinny people, and I like to apply grease and powder, and it smells bad to death - it's better to beat it up. He couldn't really do it, so he had to fantasize in his heart about beating the flower woman and screaming!

Hua Pozi was full of spirits and wanted to talk to Zhang Huai, maybe she could ask about the follow-up development of the ugly girl incident and some thoughts of the parties, but Zhang Huai left without looking back, so that she didn't spit out the belly of words she had just collected, which was extremely uncomfortable! In the end, I went to Liu Er's house stupidly - to discuss with Liu Erniang whether it was possible for this Zhang Huai to change her mind and marry Chrysanthemum!

Aoki shook off the locust and came to the small courtyard of the village chief Li Gengtian's house. This is a courtyard made of stones, and the white walls and tiles are exposed in the courtyard wall, which contrasts with the trees and bamboo forests, showing the solid family background of the village chief's family.

He knocked on the thick courtyard door, and an old voice came out: "Coming! ”
