Chapter 65: Hawthorn Picking
When Zhong Xixi walked home, it was already dark.
In front of the doorway, there sat a small head.
"Sister, you're finally back!"
Seeing Zhong Xixi, Zhong Mumu immediately rushed over.
"Hungry, aren't you?"
"Sister, I'm not a rice bucket, how can I think of you because I'm hungry. However, I did a lot of work today, and I was a little hungry.
We've picked the herbs for you, and I've taken the hogweed to the au pair. ”
Zhong Xixi raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, ouch, not bad!
I poured out all the herbs, spread them out and looked at them, and there was not a single weed mixed in.
"You have a good memory, and you're pretty serious about your work, that's right, it's great!"
"That's that, sister, I asked them to pick three bundles of pigweed, and I gave them a piece of candy, and today we handed over twenty-one bundles of pigweed, and I told them that three bundles of pigweed were one candy, and I gave them a total of nine candies! Now there is one left, sister, for you to eat. ”
Zhong Mumu took out the shiny piece of sugar from his pocket, peeled off the sugar coating and put it in Zhong Xixi's mouth.
Zhong Xixi felt sweet in his heart, but soon sensed that something was wrong and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Wait, you said twenty-one bundles of pigweed gave someone nine pieces of candy?"
"Well, yes, there's ten pieces of candy left."
Zhong Mumu raised her little head proudly, feeling that she was too powerful.
Zhong Xixi, "......"
Sure enough, why is nine-year compulsory education so important?
"Twenty-one sheaves of grass, if three sheaves are given to one piece of sugar, then you should be given seven pieces of sugar, and you have three pieces of sugar left. Now there's only one piece left, and you're quite proud. ”
Zhong Xixi talked about Zhong Mumu's forehead, a little helpless.
"Impossible, sister, you lied to me!"
Zhong Mumu didn't believe it, so he took a small wooden stick and gestured in the ground.
One day horizontal line, two horizontal lines......
Zhong Xixi sighed, "Come, sister will teach you how to count, if you can't break your fingers, then draw them." ”
Zhong Xixi drew matchsticks with small wooden sticks, and marked numbers at the bottom, teaching his younger brother to know how to count by the way.
After teaching for a while, Zhong Mumu could be regarded as understanding, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Zhong Xixi.
"Sister, you are so powerful, I heard people say that only those educated youths and cadres in the countryside will count. Because they have read a lot of books, sister, you are so smart, you don't need to study to understand, you are better than them! ”
Zhong Xixi was suddenly speechless, and could only use this to change the topic.
"Mu Mu, do you want to study? Like those educated youths, if you read it well, you will be able to get out of our small village in the future. It's a lot bigger outside than in the village, there's a lot of fun stuff, there's a lot of good food, like the ones I usually give you, and there's a lot more outside. ”
Zhong Xixi is describing the world outside the village to Zhong Mumu.
Zhong Mumu was already fascinated by what she heard, and she looked yearning.
"Sister, then I walked out of the village, what about you, will you go out with me?"
"I, of course I'll go out with you, my sister has always had this idea, and when my sister makes money, I'll go out and make the business bigger and stronger." When the time comes, will you go to school and come back to help your sister? ”
"Sister, I want to go, I want to help my sister, is we enough money? The village party secretary said before that if you go to school, you will need to pay for books, and you have to go to school. ”
A hint of happiness flashed on Zhong Mumu's face, but he quickly asked cautiously.
"It's not your turn to worry about money, as long as you want to go, my sister will provide you with college even if she smashes the pot and sells iron."
Of course, according to her current business, there is no need to smash the pot and sell iron.
But this little guy doesn't know that it's not easy for him, what if he doesn't study seriously?
"Woo woo, sister, you're really good...... I used to think that I would be able to eat enough, but now I feel that I am too greedy, and you say let me go to school, I really want to go. ”
Zhong Mumu's eyes were red, and her tears crackled down like she didn't want money.
Zhong Xixi, "......"
Again??
"Okay, don't cry, sister will arrange school for you, you go to dinner first, and when you wait for tomorrow, help go up the mountain to pick hawthorns, I know if there is."
"Well, it's all up to my sister!"
Zhong Mumu sniffed and held back the tears that came out of her eyes again.
Zhong Xixi took out the eggplant and bitter gourd, washed and cut them into sections, and hollowed out the heart in the middle.
Immediately afterwards, the meat brought back from the town was chopped, mixed with chopped green onions and other condiments, and stuffed into eggplant and bitter gourd.
Pour a little oil into the pot, Zhong Xixi took chopsticks and put the eggplant stuffed meat and bitter gourd stuffed meat into the pot piece by piece, and fried them until golden brown on both sides.
The scent immediately wafted out.
After settling dinner, Zhong Xixi hurried out again, she was going to implement one thing!!
The lights of the village party secretary's house are still on, and the people who go to his house are about to break the threshold of his house in the past few days.
Zhong Xixi knocked on the door.
Niu Wu, who was fluting, came to his senses, "It's coming!" ”
"Uncle Niu, you've worked hard lately, I brought you some dishes that are on fire, you can try it."
As soon as Zhong Xixi saw the village party secretary, he took out the bitter gourd stuffed meat he made, which was full of fragrance.
The village party secretary looked at the meat on the plate and was a little shocked.
Not long after the girl went out to be single, she actually ate meat directly?
However, he is so old, and it is not good for him to grab meat from the mouths of children.
"Zhong girl, keep it for yourself, you and your brother finally got some meat, just keep it for yourself!"
"Uncle Niu helped me so much before, and I don't have anything to thank you for, it's just a dish, Uncle Niu, you can accept it!"
Zhong Xixi blinked, smiled and put the dish on the table, and then said straight to the point.
"Uncle Niu is worried about the insects growing in the ground?"
Niu Wu's originally somewhat relaxed heart tugged up again, and he let out a long sigh.
"Hey, isn't it, this villager has come to me several times. I've already reported it to the above, but I haven't been able to get a letter for a while. ”
Their village has no connections in the agricultural office, and even if it can be approved, this amount will not be too much, and it will be a problem how to divide it at that time.
"Uncle Niu, if I say I can help you solve this trouble, do you believe it or not?"
Zhong Xixi raised his eyebrows and blinked, his eyes innocent
Niu Wu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with some excitement, "What, Zhong girl, can you get these things?" I'll tell you, I'm in a hurry right now, and I'm not kidding about it! ”
However, the eyes that looked at Zhong Xixi revealed a sense of distrust.
Zhong Xixi knew when he came that he was now a little pitiful in Niu Wu's eyes, and it was a fantasy to get fertilizers and pesticides.
It's just that since she can come, she must be confident.
Zhong Xixi's eyes flashed a little fine.
"Uncle Niu, I don't dare to pack the ticket, but there is still an eighty percent possibility, but if I have a way to get pesticides and fertilizers, I have a condition to say!"
