"Auntie, are you worried that there won't be enough firewood this winter?"

Mingzhu walked to the door, also looked at the sky, and asked thoughtfully.

Baozhu learned the posture of the two of them, and his little head was tilted up, posing as if he also understood.

"Sister Niang, don't worry, you can cut it, and I will carry it."

Baozhu patted his little chest, frowning and said very seriously.

Mingzhu's eyes lit up: "That's right, let's go to the third uncle to borrow a board car, cut it and put it on the board car, and it will save a lot of effort for us to transport it back together." ”

His eyes involuntarily looked at Baozhu: "It just so happens that Baoya has a lot of strength and can help a lot." ”

It's not impossible to take Baoya to the mountains to chop wood, just keep an eye on it.

She can't be allowed to have close contact with the small animals in the mountains, and she should be fine.

Hearing that he brought himself this time, Baozhu's eyes lit up, and the eyes of Mingzhu and Jiang Qiuniang changed.

"Take me, take me. I've got a lot of strength to help. ”

She happily held her little hands.

"Okay, let's eat. After eating, he called Shangdong to be together. ”

Jiang Qiuniang felt that it was feasible, and she could look at the jewel and solve the problem of insufficient firewood at home.

In the afternoon, a family of four borrowed a cart from the third uncle and went up the mountain with a machete.

On the mountain, Jiang Qiuniang and Mingzhu worked together to cut down a cypress tree.

Dongsheng was not idle, pulling the jewel to the side and picking up the small branch.

The orb was around a tree, looked up, lifted its foot and kicked it down.

"Click!"

The whole tree fell down in the direction of the mountain, and Jiang Qiuniang and Mingzhu on the other side also noticed the movement of the jewel, and the jewel had already walked under the other tree and knocked down the tree in the same way.

"Baoya!"

Mingzhu exclaimed.

I soon realized that I seemed to be making a bit of a fuss.

Baozhu has great strength, and it's not the first time they've known it.

With the addition of the orb, they were also much more relaxed, and in less than half an hour, they filled the cart.

In less than one afternoon, several truckloads of cypress trees were brought back, and the whole yard was full.

Jiang Qiuniang's sum is enough for them to survive this winter.

Let Mingzhu return the cart to the third uncle with the jewel, and she will clean up the firewood at home alone.

"Yo, why did you come back so soon? Not more than a few days? ”

The third uncle saw the jewel that came back with the cart, and looked at the little man, his hands were spread out and he couldn't reach the handles on both sides, only pulling one of the handles, dragging the cart back.

On the other side, Dongsheng, who was pulling the cart, looked relaxed, and it was obvious that all the gravity of the cart was carried by the orb.

Mingzhu seems to be pushing a cart, but in fact, she is just following behind with a handle.

"We ran out of the third uncle's car, this is my mother's pickled radish."

The third uncle is also not polite, at the end of the year, some vegetables that every family can't eat will be dried or pickled into dried radishes like this.

None of these are valuable things, but they are also a little bit of heart.

"Cheng, go back and tell your mother, if you still want to use a board car, just come to my house to pull it."

The third uncle took it with a smile, and lowered his head just to meet the shining eyes of Baozhu.

Touching her little head melon seeds, she bent down and said in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The next time Baoya goes up the mountain to hunt, you have to call the third uncle, although the third uncle is old and can't walk, but the kung fu of cheering and shouting is still there." ”

Baozhu blinked, looked up at the third uncle who was disrespectful to the old man, and hooked his mouth.

The little paw patted him on the shoulder: "It's easy to say, the third uncle can rest assured, next time I will definitely find the third uncle together." ”

Next time, there will be a reason for them to go up the mountain without telling Ah Niang, there is a third uncle, Ah Niang and they should not stop her.

"Don't worry, the third uncle will definitely look for you next time, even if you are old and dizzy, it doesn't matter."

Harm, why is this little girl talking?

Even though he is there, he doesn't have to tell the truth.

The third uncle shook his head with a smile and watched Baozhu leave.

It is impossible for him to go up the mountain with the jewel with an old bone, but his son can.

In a blink of an eye, the weather is wet and cold, the mountains are covered with snow, and only the bamboo mountain at the foot of the mountain is lush and green.

The academy was also on holiday, and He Shoutang followed Jiang Cheng to Jiangjia Village again this time.

"What! You're going to give up the scientific expedition at the beginning of next spring! ”

Grandma Hao's family heard Jiang Cheng's words, stood up excitedly, and looked at the son in front of them in disbelief.

Ten years of cold window, isn't what I hope for is to get lucky as soon as possible and glorify my ancestors?

"Mother, listen to my explanation."

Jiang Cheng rubbed his eyebrows, what he was most afraid of was that Granny Hao didn't understand.

I could only calm her excited emotions first and let her sit down before slowly saying, "I have discussed this matter with my teacher, and my teacher also supports my approach." ”

He took a long breath and said: "Now that the situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, there are foreign relatives controlling the court, the vassal kings in various places are revolting, and there are enemies outside, it is not a wise move to participate in the imperial examination now." ”

"Besides, it's not like I haven't been participating in the imperial examination, and it's not too late to wait for the court to stabilize before taking the imperial examination."

He is only seventeen this year, at least three years, at most ten years, and he has the patience.

The situation in the court is turbulent, even if he doesn't take the road of the imperial examination, it may be an opportunity for him.

Granny Hao was silent for a long time before digesting this matter.

He sighed: "I'm a woman, I don't understand anything." This is ...... You also have to talk to the village chief, after all...... Your study is the power of the clan. ”

"Now that you want to take a leave of absence, you have to explain it to the village chief."

"When I returned, I had already told the village chief. Rest assured, the village chief agrees with my decision. ”

Jiang Cheng reassured Granny Hao, thought for a while, and said, "Anyway, I want to stay at home for a long time, so I will tell the village chief to enlighten the children of Jiangjia Village in the spring." ”

There was no master in Jiangjia Village, and he happened to be at home, so he saved the money for Jiangjia Village to invite a master.

If children from other villages want to be enlightened, they can also come to Jiangjia Village, so as to kill two birds with one stone.

It can not only collect fees to alleviate the family's poor life, but also repay the elders of the Jiang family for taking care of their mother and son.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Now that you've decided, it's hard for your mother to continue to say anything."

Granny Hao pondered, he is also seventeen, and the matter of the imperial examination will be postponed again, so can he consider marrying a wife and having children?

When I thought about it, I began to have an idea in my heart.

Jiang Cheng didn't know what Granny Hao was thinking at this time, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small head probing his brain at home, and when he looked closely, it was actually Baozhu and Fu Niu.

I haven't seen it for a month, Baozhu's little face has a lot of protein, and it has become meaty, and a pair of big eyes are vivid, which is very gratifying.

Fu Niu is already fat, like a round little ball of meat.

These two go together, and they can't be eye-catching.
