Lu Caiqing knew that he had good intentions, but he could also enter the mountain, and he was not a powerless eldest lady, and he couldn't do anything if he was pampered, so he said: "Brother Song!" Wait for me! I'll go too! ”

"I knew you would be reckless, wasn't it scared when you killed the blind bear last time? Otherwise, we won't go this time, we also know the sweet potato yesterday, and Youzifei will lead the way. ”

"I don't! Brother Song! Don't forget, I've seen and heard about what this sweet potato looks like, and what if there's anything that looks like it but can't be eaten? ”

Song Ziyu hesitated for a long time, stepped back on his legs, turned around and looked at the sky, it was still dark, took off his shoes and put his little daughter-in-law in his arms, lay down in the quilt and said: "I really can't help you, it's still early, you can sleep again, and when the sky is bright, I'll call you again!" ”

Lu Caiqing nodded when he heard this, but he was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he fell asleep with his arms around his hands, Song Ziyu smiled in his heart, this little daughter-in-law is still not at ease, afraid that she will coax her, but it's okay, it's better to take her with her than to worry about her being at home alone. He kissed her on the forehead, took her in his arms and took a nap.

It wasn't until dawn that Song Ziwu and Zifei were tinkering with things in the yard, the two got up, several people had breakfast, and Lu Caiqing went to the stove room to get a shoulder basket, which contained yesterday's freshly made dough cakes, pickled meat and cold salad wild vegetables, and water.

Song Ziyu also brought the tools, and a few people set off, Lu Caiqing was also very curious, how could such a thing grow in the mountain, when I went last time, I didn't see it, and the footsteps of several people were also very fast, and they entered the mountain in a while.

Soon I found the place where Zifei dug sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes are herbaceous plants, and the underground parts of sweet potatoes are round, oval or spindle-shaped roots, and the shape, skin color and flesh color of the roots vary depending on the variety or soil.

Lu Caiqing looked at its growth and asked, "Will there be anyone here?" ”

Song Zifei replied: "There should be, the rich people in the county, if they lack any game and can't buy it, they will bring their families to the mountain pass to find some." But there aren't many of them. ”

"No wonder! It is unlikely that this thing will grow in this mountain, it should be someone who brought it in, left here, this thing has a strong growth ability, and it is also very productive. It doesn't look like it's a big place, but it should have just grown this year. ”

"Since you can eat it, let's look at what you're doing and dig it! Looking at the growth of this blockbuster, there must be a lot. ”

After speaking, they started to move, first cleared the vines of the sweet potato, pulled out the grass, and then picked up the pickaxe and planed it, watching the sweet potatoes as big as a child's head being gouged out, the three brothers all had joy on their faces.

Lu Caiqing was not idle, he removed the old vines on the vines, kept the stems and leaves that grew on them, picked a lot of them and put them in his back basket, and fried them for the three brothers when he went back. Eating sweet potato leaves can detoxify and increase immunity, as well as prevent anemia and high blood pressure, of course, these can't be told to them, as long as they fry the sweet potato leaves deliciously, which is beneficial to their health, they will not investigate whether they can eat it.

After a busy morning, Lu Caiqing counted in the ground: "One!" Two! Three! Four...... Fifty-one! Fifty-two! ”

Song Zifei didn't look at the sweet potatoes on the ground, he kept staring at Lu Caiqing, he knew that the original count was like this, the envious eyes made Lu Caiqing look at it, and he felt a trace of guilt in his heart, he had already promised to teach Zifei to read and break words, but this family was busy, first building a kang, building a house, getting married, and now it was a few months of buying land, and seeing that it was almost June, he forgot about it.

Lu Caiqing checked that there were fifty-two sweet potatoes, and then asked Zifei, "Do you know how to count?" ”

Song Zifei blushed and said, "No!" In the past, my eldest brother taught me to count to more than 20 yuan, and I didn't recognize all the money, and the two hundred taels I got back last time Sister Cai Qing and my brother were the most money I have ever seen! ”

Song Ziyu and Song Ziwu listened to it, and felt ashamed of their younger brother, if it weren't for Lu Caiqing coming, they would have thought that relying on the mountains and eating the mountains, eating and dressing up was the best care for him.

Lu Caiqing felt that it was too terrible to be uneducated, not to mention anything else, that is, in the future, you have to learn to count when you buy things like this, the people in the city are shrewd and capable, and they have hard-won this scarce thing, so they will not suffer a big loss if they take advantage of it.

So he looked at the three men in front of him, and then said: "Originally, I planned to teach Zifei to learn alone, but you don't know how to count this basic number, and if we plant well in the future, it won't be a problem to buy and sell things." We can't keep asking people to settle accounts for us, can we? So I want to take the three of you as students and teach you how to read and hyphenate! ”

After Lu Caiqing finished speaking, he looked at the reactions of the three of them, the boss Song Ziyu was his own man, as long as he was right, he always raised his hands in favor. Looking at the expression of the third child Song Zifei again, if you don't look at it, you can know that his expectant eyes have been looking forward to it for a long time.

Finally, looking at Song Ziwu, who bowed his head and muttered, his face was full of rejection, and he didn't dare to express his opposition in front of his eldest brother, and his tangled appearance made Lu Caiqing want to laugh.

"Ziwu! What do you have to say directly, our family will adopt democracy in the future, that is, if anyone has their own opinions, they can say it, and then everyone thinks that whoever is reasonable, we will listen to whose opinions, now you tell me why you have a resisting expression, if it is reasonable, we will not force you to learn? Lu Caiqing said patiently.

Song Ziwu looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him, and then said, "Okay, I'll say!" I'm such an adult, I don't want to learn that, I'm just a rude man, I have the strength to work and live until now, you suddenly let me learn that, it knows me and I don't know their things, I can't learn it! ”

"Second brother! The children in the city have paid the money, but the gentleman is still not sure whether to accept it or not? Sister Cai Qing is her own family, she doesn't dislike us, you still don't learn, don't you tell me in private, do you like the general? The generals are all educated people, and you see which rude and uneducated person has become a big official. Song Zifei was anxious for his second brother.

Song Ziwu listened and said: "The child's family, leave me alone, anyway, I can't learn the literacy and hyphenation clumsily, your child's brain is about to learn, the eldest brother was smart before, I can't!" ”

Song Ziyu saw that his little daughter-in-law insisted, and was just about to order him, but Lu Caiqing hurriedly stopped: "Brother Song! I'm here, Ziwu wants to listen to you, as long as you say that he will definitely learn, but not willingly, it will inevitably make him feel uncomfortable. ”

Song Ziyu heard it and felt that what she said was reasonable, so he stepped aside to see what the little daughter-in-law said about moving the stubborn donkey.
