Chapter 84: Lessons
Cheng Gou Yu and Cheng Ma occasionally walked through the pepper field, and looked at the green peppers with great concern, thinking that this was all their money, and they woke up with a smile from their dreams at night.
The Xianghua family never thought that these two scoundrels would think so.
Seeing that some of the chili peppers had begun to turn from green to red, Xianghua and Cheng Linchang discussed inviting some more people to help harvest the chili peppers.
Cheng Linchang also rushed to make many huge plaques, which were used when drying chili peppers.
Everything is ready, just wait for the peppers to ripen.
That night, Cheng Gou Yu and Cheng Ma were also gearing up and ready to go.
The two of them acted blindly in the dark, naturally they couldn't pick the red ones one by one, and the adult dog left his heart horizontal, anyway, he only did this time, so he simply cut down the whole pepper and dragged it home to pick it slowly.
The two of them were holding cold scythes and black scarves on their faces, and they were about to swing their knives at the peppers, when Dabao once again jumped out and grinned at the two of them.
Cheng Gou took out a piece of meat and bones and threw it to it, and whispered: "Give it to you, don't bark!" ”
Dabao sniffed it, and found that it was far less delicious than the fragrant flowers gave him, so he immediately screamed without buying it.
Cheng Ma hit with a sickle, and Dabao jumped to the side and dodged nimbly.
"Woohoo!" Dabao screamed louder and louder.
Cheng Ma asked Cheng Gouyu: "What should I do?" ”
Cheng Gou Yu stubbornly said: "Let's fight!" It's called it, and it's a home on the mountain, and you can't hear the movement here! ”
The two of them clasped their fists and sleeves and were about to make a move, when a full voice shouted, "What are you two doing? ”
The two of them were so frightened that their bodies were shocked, and when they looked up, they turned out to be the fierce Cheng Tiezhu and the old man Cheng!
Old Man Cheng glared at the two of them coldly and said, "Tiezhu, tie these two unprosperous rabbit cubs to me!" ”
Cheng Gou ran away, and Cheng Ma behind him had been caught by Cheng Tiezhu, and he called Cheng Gou to save him.
Cheng Gou Yu was whirring in his ears: Save him? He can't protect himself now, so let's ask for more blessings from him!
He ran all the way, and when he saw that he had reached the door of his house, he was breathing a sigh of relief, when suddenly his leg hurt and fell to the ground with a bang.
"You run, you run to the other side."
Cheng Tiezhu swaggered over with a sickle, and Cheng Gouyu screamed miserably, and was picked up and taken away by him.
The next day, Cheng Linchang brought people to pick peppers.
Many people see chili peppers for the first time and think that this chili pepper looks strange, slender and long, with a large head and a small tail, even if the juice is not wrung out at night, you can smell the spicy smell.
Cheng Linchang gave each person a pair of scissors, and cutting the peppers with scissors would not hurt the plants, and the remaining small peppers could grow again.
No one knows what happened to Cheng Gou and Cheng Ma last night, except for the parties and Xianghua.
Xianghua heard what Cheng Tiezhu said, sighed and said, "I thought the two of them could stop in time, but it seems that it won't work." You can do the rest, just don't kill anyone. ”
Cheng Tiezhu smiled: "Human life will not come out, and the skin may have to fall off." ”
Xianghua smiled: "That's just right, let the two of them have a long memory, otherwise I really think that no one will be able to clean them up." ”
The first round of chili peppers in Xianghua's family was harvested for three days, and the loss of the mountain was large, and all the group plaques were taken out and used.
Xianghua used some fresh chili peppers to try out the spicy sauce and bean paste, and the remaining chili peppers were exposed to the sun and then scooped into chili powder and divided into hot pot base and dipping water, and then the recovered chili peppers could be skewered and preserved. As long as it is stored properly, it is appropriate to leave it for a year.
Qian Xiaoman heard the shopkeeper Hu say that the Xianghua family had a bumper harvest of chili peppers, and rushed back from the capital to see, and a pink face smiled like a flower.
Xianghua smiled and asked: "So many chili peppers, enough for you to use the fragrance of the building, right?" ”
Qian Xiaoman said with a smile: "Not enough, not enough, the more the merrier, the more the merrier!" ”
"Where did you open a branch?"
Qian Xiaoman put up two fingers and said proudly: "I have ordered two more stores, and I am now preparing." When it's ready, I'll call a carriage to pick you up and see it. ”
Xianghua smiled: "I'll wait." When Daddy and they get all this straightened out, I'm going to have to take a look around. ”
Qian Xiaoman said: "Coincidentally, I also like to travel in the mountains and rivers." It's a pity that I'm busy now, and I don't have time to go. ”
Xianghua said: "You will have a husband in the future, won't it be enough to leave these to him to take care of for a few days?" ”
Qian Xiaoman scratched her nose and said with a smile: "You little petty ghost, you are used to planning for others, what about yourself?" ”
Xianghua stuck out her tongue at her and deliberately said, "Me? I'm young. ”
"You're small, some people aren't small." Qian Xiaoman glanced in the direction of the taro, and smiled with a smile, "If you don't hurry up, he flew away and you cry." ”
Xianghua blushed and wrinkled her nose at her, but didn't speak.
The Xianghua family had cash in their hands for this delivery, so they discussed with Yan Gou and chose a vacant land in the village to build the school.
The children of Qingshan Village want to go to school in Taiping Town, not to mention the long distance, and they can't afford to pay for it.
Xianghua said: "This school only accepts children from our village, as long as they are studious children, the money for pen, ink, paper and inkstone will come from our family." ”
Yan Gou was surprised: "That's a lot of money." ”
Cheng Linchang said: "I have discussed with Xianghua, our Zhuangzi has been repaired, the embankment has also been repaired, and I want to repair the road, but the money in my hand is still far away." But the dolls can't afford to delay, it's still important to the school, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and the relationship between the boss is not too expensive, nothing. ”
Yan Gou nodded and said with a smile: "I originally thought that dreaming was nonsense, but what your family did made me confused, and there is no benefit for you to do this." ”
Xianghua smiled: "Mr. Yan's words are wrong. There is a saying that 'the merit is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future', and we don't have to wait for a thousand years to do this, and we can see the results in ten years at the latest. ”
"The result?"
Yan Gou felt that what he and Yun Niang had done was just to "enlighten" the children in the mountains, how much could it change? Even if you go to the scientific examination, there are only a few talented children.
Xianghua said with a smile: "Mr. Yan is right, it is naturally good if there are children who can pass the scientific examination, and there is one more way to go." But even if they don't, these babies have also seen a different world, and they know 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith', instead of only learning the previous set. ”
Yan Gou was stunned.
Cheng Linchang now gradually understood the meaning of Xianghua, and explained: "In the previous incident of Honghe, if Xianghua didn't stand up, maybe how many people would have suffered. ”
Yan Gou heard about it. That thing sounded like a fantasy at first glance, but he had seen Granny Yuan, and every time the old man saw Xianghua than his own daughter, he would talk about how Xianghua saved people.
Xianghua smiled slightly: "The children in our village, if you want to say that there are only a few who are smart, but the others are either diligent and honest, or hard-working, and a few lazy people are also taken by their brothers and sisters, and their younger brothers and sisters are urging, and now they are much better, aren't they?" ”
Yan Gou was even more surprised.
