Chapter 21: The First Pot of Gold

At this time, Miao Sanhe's two sons also got up when they heard the movement, and they didn't see it clearly at first, but when they saw that the person was their own father, they yawned together, pretended to sleepwalk, and went back to sleep in the house.

The angry Miao Sanhe scolded again, and even kicked Wu Suying a few times to discourage.

The four Miao Fu brothers didn't say much, but before leaving, Miao Kang turned around and said with a smile, "Grandmother, if there is a shortage of fertilizer in the field, just say it, why bother to let the third uncle take it at night, don't say it, it's a good pit of dung, hey, it's a waste in the end." ”

After speaking, he shook his head regretfully.

Mrs. Miao couldn't wait to go up and strangle these grandsons, but when she saw the neighbors lighting up one after another, she angrily picked up her shoes and threw them over.

Miao Le's eyes were sharp, he caught it high, and then threw it hard, and Mrs. Miao watched her shoe go up to the roof.

And those four little rabbit cubs have long since disappeared.

Meow Meow listened to the fourth brother come back to learn the situation at that time, holding her little belly and giggling.

Li Cuihua also laughed out of tears, only Miao Dahai, with her head stuffy and didn't know what she was thinking.

Miao Qiang motioned to everyone to stop laughing and gestured to everyone with his eyes.

Meow Meow jumped off the stool, held Dad's big hand with two small hands, and said softly, "Dad, don't be angry with the third uncle, it's not worth it." ”

Miao Dahai tugged at the corners of his mouth, looking at his daughter's two hands together, which were not as big as his own hand, but when she spoke, she was like a little adult.

opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, just nodded, "Dad knows." ”

"Okay, let's go to sleep, we have to work tomorrow." Li Cuihua beckoned the children to sleep.

She carried Meow to her own cot again, covered the quilt, and went back to the curtain.

Through the curtain, Meow Meow listened to her mother's gentle explanation of her father, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When she got up in the morning, Meow Meow packed the little rabbit and told the eldest brother to give it to the lady, so she took the fourth brother up the mountain again.

These days, the summer silkworms also grow very well. Meow Meow estimated that there should be income this time, so when she got up early in the morning, she went to the temple to thank the monk who gave silkworms.

Their family is still very poor, and they can't give any good things to thank, and even handwritten scriptures have no pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

In the end, Li Cuihua brought her some dried vegetables from spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms that the brothers and sisters picked a while ago.

Meow Meow carried the small basket and jumped away.

Miao Le really didn't like the atmosphere in the temple, but he didn't worry about his sister, so he followed behind with a bowed head.

After entering the temple, Meow Meow saw that the fourth brother was not interested, so he said, "Fourth brother, why don't you wander around the neighborhood, I will go in by myself, how about we meet at the door in an hour?" ”

Miao Le looked at the temple, and there didn't seem to be many people who came to offer incense, so he agreed.

Gujia Villa, Weiyuan Hou's wife Su, is preparing to take her daughter, that is, Gu Xinning, the little girl who bought rabbits yesterday, to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha.

Before I could go out, I saw the big girl next to me come in with a basket from outside, and said with a smile, "Madam, the little girl from the tenant's house yesterday still sent another rabbit!"

When Gu Xinning heard this, she jumped down from her mother's arms, hurriedly ran over, lifted a thin layer of hay on it, and saw a gray rabbit!

Although it is not as conspicuous as white, it is better than the bright coat color, and the raising is also clean, which makes people happy when they look at it.

Mrs. Gu also looked over, smiled and nodded, "It's a sincere child!" You go find some clothes that the young lady doesn't wear, and let them take them back, and by the way, put some pastries on them. ”

After packing up, the mother and daughter are going up the mountain.

Meow Meow met the monk of that day in that courtyard again, and today, the two of them talked about raising silkworms for a long time.

Master Hongzhi was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect that a three-year-old milk doll really raised silkworms and spit silk.

He pinched the thin strand of silk in his hand and nodded, "Yes, the quality is very good." ”

"Thank you for the book from the master!" Meow Meow replied sincerely.

Master Hongzhi happily accepted the thank you gift she brought, and at the same time, seeing that she talked well, he gave her a set of four treasures of the study as a return gift.

Meow Meow was holding a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and seemed to be able to imagine that the third brother was excited to see them.

He didn't shirk it, bowed deeply, and said goodbye.

When I went down the mountain, I happened to meet Gu's mother and daughter who had just gone up the mountain.

Meowth stood aside, head down, waiting for someone to pass.

Gu Xinning was held in her arms, stared at the meow on the side of the road several times, and whispered to her mother, "Mother, why is that little girl dressed so worn?" ”

Meow Meow looked up when she heard the sound, and the little girl with pink carving was wearing a pale pink dress, even in this mountain that covered the sky and the sun, it seemed to be shining with brilliance.

Sensing that the lady was looking over, he quickly lowered his head.

Today, Mrs. Gu went up the mountain, and she didn't bring the maid from yesterday, otherwise she would definitely be able to recognize her.

Mrs. Gu glanced at the little girl, hugged her daughter from her grandmother's hand, and said softly, "Xin'er, don't look at her appearance, look at her heart." ”

She winked at Mama. Pointing to his daughter's small breasts, he continued, "Some people, although they are not well dressed, but their hearts are beautiful, but some people, no matter how gorgeous they are, they can't cover their ugly inner ......."

Listening to the woman's voice getting farther and farther away, Meow Meow smiled slightly.

Then the lady came over, put a piece of silver in her little basket, and said with a smile, "This is our lady's reward." ”

After speaking, he left without waiting for thanks.

What a kind woman! Meow Meow thought happily.

In the evening, Li Cuihua looked at the two big bags of clothes that her husband and her two sons carried back, a large bag of pastries, and a piece of broken silver from her daughter, and the pheasants and ducks piled up at the door, and looked at her husband in disbelief, "His father, is our family lucky?" ”

Miao Kang was holding the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, more excited than Meow Meow thought, he sat there and watched for half an afternoon before he dared to touch it.

Miao Dahai was also very happy, holding his daughter and not letting go, he praised without hesitation, "Our family's current silver is all earned by Meow Meow, and Meow Meow is the great hero of our family!" ”

In a blink of an eye, at the end of summer, dozens of plates of summer silkworms raised by Meow Meow were also harvested, and after harvesting silk, Miao Qiang took it to the town market and sold it.

Although it was only one or two pieces of silver, this was the first pot of gold for her to start a business, and it also brought great confidence to the whole family.

Miao Dahai's work on the village was also done, and the owner of the village saw that the three of them worked quickly and could endure hardships, so he deliberately paid some more wages, and finally got his hand, and there were four taels!

In addition, the discarded wood that was removed and unwanted was also given to them.

Meow Meow thought in her heart, now they have about seven or eight taels of silver in their hands, saving a little money, enough for the family's expenses for a year.

However, Meow Meow, who was a businessman in her previous life, always believed that money was earned, not saved.
