Chapter Twenty-Six: Can You Stop Acting?
Ji Nuan ran a few steps forward and shouted to the two brothers: "If you buy steamed buns, then everyone has a share, and I won't eat if I only buy one." ”
Ji Lianqiu didn't respond to her sister, and asked her mother to take her home, the little girl was soaked, Gu Shuzhen found a piece of clothing to wrap around Ji Nuan, picked her up and went home, Ji Nuan didn't want to go back, the hot and wet clothes were dried by the sun for a while at noon, but unfortunately no one listened to her, and when she got home, Ji Nuan drank a bowl of batter and went back to the house to sleep, and when she woke up, her family came back.
"The eldest brother and the third brother have not sold the fish, let's still be alive in the restaurant!" Ji Nuan came out to see the eldest brother and asked.
"How do you know we're sending fish to the restaurant?" Ji Lianqiu found that she really couldn't treat her sister as a child, this girl was a ghost.
"It's very simple, ordinary people won't buy such a big fish to eat, and your first choice in order to sell the fish as soon as possible is of course a restaurant." Ji Nuan was pacing in the hall with her little hands behind her back, and everyone consciously made way for her, wanting her to be proud for a while.
Ji Lianlu was amused by his sister: "The fish was indeed sold to the restaurant, and today it happened that the shopkeeper was also calculating it for us according to the fifteen cents per catty, and the fish was sold for three hundred and forty-six cents, and then the shopkeeper rewarded us with more than one hundred cents, and today we got a total of half a tael of silver." ”
This half tael of silver is too important to the family, after building a house, buying medicine for my father, and buying some daily necessities, plus the cost of eating during the construction of the house, there is basically no money in my hand. There is not much food left, and without today's windfall, the family is about to be cut off.
Gu Shuzhen hugged her daughter and kissed her, the little girl is the lucky star of the family, and the last two windfalls were obtained through her light.
"Where Nuan Nuan goes in the future, I'll follow behind and see if I can dig ginseng next time." Ji Lianduo admires his sister very much, and this luck is too good.
Ji Ruinian suddenly remembered something: "How did you catch that wild boar last time, is it also related to Nuan Nuan?" ”
"That is, last time the wild boar hit the tree next to Nuan Nuan, and then the second brother lifted a stone and killed it." Ji Lianyou was quick to talk and told the events of the day.
What happened to his daughter is really weird enough, Ji Ruinian warned his sons not to talk nonsense when they go out, especially the strange thing that happened to their sister, it must not be publicized everywhere.
Ji Lianqiu nodded his sister's forehead: "Did you hear it, be more restrained in the future, otherwise you will be arrested as a monster." ”
"Am I stupid enough to sell myself? Besides, I didn't do anything, these things are all coincidences, accidents! Ji Nuan defended herself.
The matter of the wild boar is a coincidence, the matter of the fish is an accident, but what about the plaster, how to explain it? If you don't think about such a big fish, even if you don't die if you don't die on the road for more than half an hour, you won't be straight and turn over, and the shopkeeper will also reward the brothers for the sake of its special joy.
Ji Lianqiu remembered that her sister said that she wanted to find herself, and planned to find an opportunity to talk to her alone to see what kind of shock and surprise she would bring her.
After eating, Ji Nuan wanted to go back to the house, but Ji Lianqiu took her hand: "Come with me." ”
"Talking alone?"
"If you want to talk alone, talk about it alone."
Ji Nuan nodded her little head, this opportunity was sent to the door by the eldest brother himself, so she was welcome.
When the brother and sister came to the house where the eldest brother lived, Ji Nuan learned that the eldest brother lived with the fifth, sixth and seventh brothers, and Ji Lianqiu asked several younger brothers to play outside the door, and they were not allowed to eavesdrop on themselves and their sisters.
"Let me stay, I promise to keep my eyes, ears and mouth closed." Ji Lianduo was curious about what the eldest brother and sister would talk about.
"Ji Lianduo, we haven't counted the tent you knocked Nuan Nuan into the water today, why don't you count it now?"
Ji Lianyou and Ji Lianxi saw that the eldest brother was a little angry, and the two pushed Ji Lianduo out, and returned to help close the door tightly. Ji Lianqiu turned his head and glanced at his sister lightly, hoping that his cold face could also have a little deterrent effect on her.
Ji Nuan whispered a paper tiger in his heart, and the facial features on his face were about to gather together: "Big brother, you look so scary, I don't dare to speak." ”
Ji Lianqiu blinked vigorously, why didn't he see that the little girl was afraid: "Can you stop acting?" ”
"Then can you stop pretending to be scary, let's get to the point."
She also urged, and Ji Lianqiu flicked her sister's forehead: "Say, you need my help with something." ”
"Big brother, as the eldest son in the family, you must hope to change the status quo as soon as possible and get rid of poverty as soon as possible than us, right?"
"You don't want to say you have a way to make money."
"If I say yes, will you believe it?"
Ji Lianqiu stared at his sister for a long time: "If you tell me where the plaster used for our father came from, and what method was used to make that big fish live all the time today, I will ...... Try to convince yourself to believe in you once. ”
What does it mean to try to believe in yourself, Ji Nuan tilted his head to look at his eldest brother, can he still talk happily, this time Ji Lianqiu doesn't plan to back down, he doesn't want to inquire into his sister's privacy, he is afraid that she is too young to think about it, make a wrong decision or fall into someone else's way.
It seems that if I don't reveal anything, don't think about today's things to be done, Ji Nuan's face flashed with a sad look: "Big brother, let me tell you the truth, on the day we separated, my soul that was frightened by Ji Liu and Ji Ruixue had actually gone to the ghost gate, and then the steward of the underworld said that I died too unjustly and my life should not be ended, and he released me back, and there was a mysterious woman who was sent back with me."
The man was wrapped in a purple cloak from top to bottom, and I couldn't see his face clearly, and all I could see was that the ghosts were bending over to make amends for her, saying that they had caught the wrong person. On the way back, the man said that we were fated, and that she was willing to take me as an apprentice, teach me some skills, and share some luck with me.
The first gift she gave me was to speak, and then I saw that my father was coughing and sighing all day, so I tried to contact Master and asked for a panacea. The night before yesterday, I dreamed of her again, and Master asked me what I wanted, and I said that I wanted to improve the conditions at home, and she agreed, and taught me how to make tofu and soy products. ”
After making up the lie, Ji Nuan pretended to look at the eldest brother calmly, she had given full play to her imagination and tried her best to tell the story realistically and vividly, believe it or not, it depends on the eldest brother.
Ji Lianqiu really didn't believe it, but there was no way to explain it if so many unbelievable things happened, if the person in her sister's mouth really existed, was she a Taoist priest or a spirit?
"Nuan Nuan, if you want to say something else, my brother is willing to give it a try for you, make tofu...... I think it's better to forget it! In Ji Lianqiu's eyes, making tofu is not as reliable as chopping wood, the former may not even be able to eat, and the latter can at least earn a few copper plates.
