Chapter 44: Fried Cow Dung
Ji Wan sandwiched a potato paste between the three cubs, "Come and taste the fruits of your own labor." ”
"It's delicious, and I made it." Erbao's stinky fart appearance made Ji Wan laugh.
……
At noon, Ji Wan went to the river to wash clothes, at this time the weather will not be so cold, the river water will not be so biting, and there will be a lot of people by the river.
An aunt saw Ji Wan coming and beckoned to her, "Xiao Wan! You come here to wash, and there's a place for this. ”
"Okay, thank you, auntie." Ji Wan walked over with a basin of clothes, and as soon as she put down her clothes, the washboard in the dark was about to be washed, and the aunt chatted with her.
"I heard that your family is now setting up a stall in the town, and business is doing well."
As soon as he heard this, Ji Wan's mind spun quickly, and he was sloppy, "What's the matter, isn't it just for the people in the family to eat enough?" Now there are ten mouths in the family, and there are three small ones when they grow their bodies, and they eat a lot. ”
"Yes, but I heard from the people in the village that your stall is very popular in the town, and there are a lot of repeat customers, so you don't tell our village people about such a good opportunity to make a fortune."
As soon as this aunt finished speaking, the person on Ji Wan's right also echoed, "That's it!" We are a village, and we all have to take care of each other. ”
Ji Wan called a good guy in her heart, and she was really waiting for her here! There is no vain position in this world.
Naturally, others have already put shamelessness directly on their faces, and Ji Wan naturally won't be polite, "This business belongs to my family, not the village, if you want to make a fortune, you can think of your own way." I'm not a bodhisattva, a wide range of sentient beings, I can't manage my own affairs, do I still have to take care of your family? ”
"What's more, it's not the 60s, everything belongs to the village, and the wild boars hunted by themselves in the mountains must also be divided in the village."
It's really bad luck to be stuck between these two people, Ji Wan packed up his clothes and went to the other side to be with Gao Kumquat.
The tone of the two people behind him was not as good as before, and the words they said were sour, and the typical ones who couldn't eat grapes still said that grapes were sour, "What's the big deal, isn't it speculation?" ”
Serious trading was said to be speculation, and all the people who did business were scolded at once.
"You don't care about them, they just slander them if they don't get it, and they are idle every day, and whoever makes money will get together." Gao Jinquat didn't like the two very much, and he was even more disdainful of their behavior.
Ji Wan didn't care so much, anyway, no matter how much they said, they couldn't get her words, "I know, by the way, sister-in-law, did I eat the chopped pepper sauce I gave you?" How does it taste? ”
"It's delicious, your aunt also likes to eat it, and now I want to stir-fry some vegetables with chopped pepper sauce for every meal, the ones we buy on the market are not spicy enough, and they are not as flavorful as you do."
"It's the first time I've done it, and I'm sending you some after eating, anyway, it's all grown in my yard, and it's not worth much."
It is conservatively estimated that a bottle of chopped pepper sauce can be sold for about a dollar.
Gao Jinquat rubbed his clothes and smiled, "Then I won't be polite to you." ”
While doing laundry, Ji Wan also overheard some people discussing the price of goods in the market recently.
"Our men went to the town in the morning to sell eggs, and now they can't sell them."
"My family too, I heard that there is a village that has started to breed a large number of chickens, and now there is no shortage of eggs on the market."
"Originally, I was hoping that the eggs I saved could be sold for some money, but I didn't expect that this thing would start to lose its value."
"I really can't live this day."
……
After the clothes were washed, Ji Wan went back, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Chen He holding a rag in her hand and then wiping Erbao's clothes, and she was still scolding something, and as soon as she got closer, she smelled a strong smell of.
"Erbao, what are you doing, why does it smell of? Did you fall into the stinky ditch in the village? Ji Wan took the basin of clothes and began to dry clothes in the yard, she thought that the child didn't look at the road when he was playing, and fell in, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Chen He looked very angry, put down the rag in his hand, "Tell your mother yourself, what did you do." ”
Ji Wan dried his clothes, walked to Erbao's side, and squatted down, "Tell my mother, why did you go?" Why is it so dirty? ”
Erbao's eyes were full of fear, and he stammered and said the matter, "I'm going to fry cow dung with Uncle Liu's dog." ”
"Look at him, it's so unusual. also fried cow dung, thanks to which he figured it out, and he didn't know who he learned it from. Chen He was also very angry when he looked at it, if it blew himself up, his family would be scared.
"It's not just me who fried it, but the dog's eggs too." Erbao lowered his head, and his voice became smaller.
When Chen He heard this, he took out a small handful of firecrackers from Erbao's pocket, "And said that it wasn't you, where did the firecrackers in your pocket come from?" Haven't all the firecrackers for the New Year been set off? ”
"Yes...... It was picked up by the dog when his uncle got married. ”
Chen He would at least scold Erbao twice, but Ji Wan looked at him without saying a word.
Erbao received his mother's eyes, and immediately panicked, "Mother, I'm sorry, I won't fry cow dung in the future, don't be angry." ”
Before Ji Wan could say anything, Aunt He Xiu's voice came from outside the door, "Oh no, Chen He, your kid is doing something bad." ”
"What's going on?" Chen He stood up.
Aunt He Xiu gasped twice, "Doesn't Uncle Liu live next door to my house?" Your kid set off firecrackers and frightened the cow, and Uncle Liu was kicked by the cow and lost three teeth. ”
"What? So serious? Chen He dragged Erbao over, "Look at you, what have you done, come with me to apologize." ”
Erbao looked reluctant.
Ji Wan pulled Erbao and looked at him at eye level, his tone was serious but there was no sign of anger, "Erbao, you shouldn't know what you did now, how serious it is." You fried cow dung with dog eggs, and got cow dung everywhere over there, do people have to clean it? And it's not easy to clean up cow dung, so you can go to our pigsty to shovel pig manure later, which is considered a punishment for you. ”
"Firecrackers are used to fry cow dung, if you are not careful, you don't blow up cow dung, blow up yourself, but you want a big hole in your hands, do you want to be different from other people's hands in the future? Now these didn't hurt you, but they hurt Uncle Liu, think about what if you lose three teeth? You have to learn to put yourself in other people's shoes and think about problems. ”
Erbao was ashamed of what he said, and tears flowed out, "Mother, I really know it's wrong, I'll go and apologize to Uncle Liu, I won't play these anymore." ”
"Then you go to apologize to your mother, do you want to know sincerely? If Uncle Liu forgives you, then it's okay, if you don't forgive you, let him punish you and give you a long memory. ”
At this time, Erbao was not covered in anything, and obediently followed Ji Wan to Uncle Liu's house.
Aunt He Xiu said in Chen He's ear, "Your daughter really has a hand in teaching children, and she was reluctant just now, so she will go obediently now." ”
"It's my daughter, after all."
……
When he arrived at Uncle Liu's house, Ji Wan pulled Erbao into the room.
As soon as I entered, I saw Uncle Liu lying on the bed very sad, a large corner of the left corner of his mouth was red, and Uncle Liu touched it lightly, and he screamed in pain.
"Oh, but this little turtle calf of your family will make me miserable." Old Uncle Liu's hands trembled, and the amplitude of his face couldn't be enlarged, "Three teeth!" Kicked it all out of me, and if I didn't get out of bed, I had to teach him a good lesson. ”
"Uncle Liu, don't be angry, let's dissipate our anger, no, I brought the child to apologize to you." Ji Wan glanced at Erbao and motioned for him to apologize quickly, "Don't hurry up and admit your mistake to Uncle Liu." ”
"Uncle Liu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't fry cow dung with dogs, I know it's wrong, just forgive me! My mother has taught me a hard lesson. After Erbao finished speaking, he bowed decently.
Uncle Liu waved his hand, "What's the use of apologizing, my teeth can't come back after apologizing, and now I can't work, you have to compensate me no matter what." ”
Ji Wan felt that she really had to be compensated for the damage to someone's teeth, and within a reasonable range, she would definitely be satisfied, "Then what compensation do you want?" If we can do it, we will definitely be able to say yes. ”
"You can do it." Old Uncle Liu's eyes rolled around, feeling that he was thinking about something, "I don't ask for much, only two hundred yuan, I heard that your family has made a lot of money by setting up a stall, so there should be no problem for you to do it." ”
Two hundred yuan, it's really a lion's big mouth, it's enough to go to the tooth prosthesis to fill in the teeth.
Uncle Liu is already old, and he has lost two teeth before, and two hundred is enough for his family to fill teeth, and according to the current market, the compensation for tooth filling and mental damage fee of 50 are already very high.
"Uncle Liu, we are a village, aren't you not very kind like this?" Ji Wan didn't have the previous smile on his face, but replaced it with an estranged tone.
