Chen Ping was still a little unsure in his heart, how could this be sure that it was over, but now seeing Chen Duohai so happy, he couldn't say anything, so he could only say goodbye to Dr. Zheng by Chen Duohai's side, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that someone would really come to the house tomorrow to report the good news, so as not to make his father happy.

After passing by Huating Academy, when Chen Duohai and Chen Ping went to find Uncle Pan, who was queuing up to sell furs, the other party had already waited at the agreed place for a while.

Chen Duohai saw Uncle Pan's figure from afar, wrapped his big arms, held Chen Ping in his arms and ran towards the original place.

It is rare to experience the welfare of a child, but Chen Ping was almost stunned by Chen Duohai.

Thanks to Uncle Pan's careful heart, he walked briskly towards Chen Duohai in three steps and two steps, and kept muttering, "Worry about the child!" Worry about the kids! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the boy is honest." Chen Duohai said this, but the soles of his feet slowed down a lot.

Chen Ping smiled gratefully at Uncle Pan and decided to stay away from this kind of benefit.

On the way back, Rhubarb walked fast, as if he knew Chen Duohai's good mood, except for the first few whips, the rest of the road was not delayed at all, and even the tender grass on the side of the road was ignored.

It is estimated that it was due to the presence of Uncle Pan, and Chen Duohai looked at Chen Ping several times on the way, as if he had something to say, but he didn't speak. When Chen Ping couldn't help but ask, Uncle Pan's house also arrived.

Waiting for Uncle Pan to leave, Chen Duohai asked about the herbal medicine that Chen Ping talked about with Dr. Zheng today.

"Is there really so many herbs in the back mountain?"

Co-authored for this?

Chen Ping thought that Chen Duohai was entangled in apprenticeship rites and silver money along the way.

"Yes, in addition to raspberry leaves, its roots can also be used in medicine. There are others, too, and so are the black fruits that you didn't let us play with before. ”

"That thing can also be used in medicine?" Chen Duohai was so shocked that he almost tightened the reins.

Chen Ping nodded, he had seen a lot of them when he was herding cattle before, and they were long, like grapes, but they were smaller and darker, and there were many children in the village picking and playing. Chen Duohai also remembered that he had met him once before, and specially said to Chen Ping, so as not to go crazy and stain his clothes.

The smoke at home gradually dissipated, and when Chen Ping and the others arrived home, Xiang had already cooked the meal, and waited for everyone to start the meal.

Along the way, Chen Duohai listened to the location of the herbs that Chen Ping said, and as soon as he tied the rhubarb to it, he wanted to run up the mountain before it was completely dark. Chen Ping couldn't stop him alone, he pulled Chen Duohai's clothes and shouted at Xiang, so he barely left Chen Duohai.

"Isn't it some hour before it gets dark?"

Chen Duohai was indignant, he grabbed the bowl and sucked the rice soup into his mouth while blowing.

Such a child's answer provoked Xiang Shi to shake his head, but because Chen Ping was still there, she just handed the picked wild vegetables to Chen Duohai, "I can't stop your mouth when I eat." ”

After eating, it was getting dark, and Chen Duohai's lively mind could only be suppressed first.

The next day, I wanted to take Chen Ping to the mountains as soon as possible, but I was worried that I would miss the person who sent the good news, but Chen Duohai stayed at home but couldn't be idle. Pacing back and forth.

However, Chen Ping was still the same as before, raised his eyes to look at the sun in the sky, sat on the back of the rhubarb and walked to the mountain.

No matter what, the main labor force in the family has to fill the stomach first.

Around noon, when he saw that the rhubarb had eaten almost all of it, and began to walk leisurely, Chen Ping knew that it was time to go back.

As soon as he walked on the village road, Chen Ping found that it was unusual, many people were carrying hoes with mud, gathering together in twos and threes to say something, and seeing that he still stretched out his fingers from time to time to point.

happened to meet Chen Jun, the son of the uncle who had just come down from the field, and without waiting for Chen Ping to ask, Chen Jun glanced at him and left without looking back. On the contrary, his sister Chen Li, who was one step slower than him, smiled shyly at Chen Ping, and congratulated Chen Ping in a soft voice, "The person who reported the good news came and said that you were admitted to Huating Academy, Chen Ping, you are really good, and you will be a scholar in the future." ”

"Thank you."

Chen Ping suddenly realized that it was the annunciation person who came, and he could understand the actions of the villagers before.

When he drove the rhubarb to the door of the house, he saw at a glance that the smiling people were talking to Chen Duohai, and naturally took the things in Chen Duohai's hands and put them into his sleeves.

Before he entered school, the first expense had already appeared, although he knew that it was to please a good fortune, but because of the poverty of his family, Chen Ping was still worried about his father's expenses.

Sure enough, when the people left with the good news, Chen Duohai took the basket and sickle, pulled Chen Ping and ran up the mountain.

First of all, start with the most familiar raspberry leaves, compared to those children's rough picking, Chen Duohai's technique is simply not too good, even before picking to take a closer look at the situation of the leaves, some damage or yellowing is not even more directly, compared to Chen Ping's hand a large handful of raspberry leaves with roots and branches, the quality of Chen Duohai's picking is even more rare.

Seeing Chen Ping so casual, Chen Duohai was distressed, "You stand next to you, I'll just come here." ”

Chen Ping glanced at the handful in his hand, and then looked at the fresh raspberry leaves in the back basket, and didn't know whether to tell his father that the leaves ended up chopped and dried.

In addition to raspberry leaves, Chen Ping also found a lot of defeated sauce grass, and it happened that Chen Duohai thought he was in the way, so he simply shifted the target and picked the nearby defeated sauce grass.

In order to ensure that the whole beard and tail of the defeated sauce grass, Chen Ping also wasted a lot of effort, and just finished picking this piece of defeated sauce grass, he was almost startled by his father who came behind him at some point.

I saw Chen Duohai carefully pick up a defeated sauce grass, "This is also a herb?" ”

Chen Ping nodded, "Just take it back and dry it." ”

Because it was the first time to pick herbs, Chen Duohai didn't want to do much, and when the back basket was full, he stopped his movements and took Chen Ping back, and then the drying had to be handed over to Xiang's, and he had to carry a hoe to work in the field.

I thought that selling herbs was to give the family more inputs, but a few days later, in the middle of the night, when Chen Ping got up to go to the toilet at night, he noticed a small sound in the corner of the yard.

By the moonlight, Chen Ping got closer and realized that it was Xiang Shi who moved the herbs to the corner of the courtyard by touching the black.

Whether it was Chen Duohai or Xiang's, Chen Ping had never expected the meticulousness of the herbs, and he seemed to understand the reason why Xiang's herbs were so carefully arranged.

Looking at the looming figure in the darkness, I had a different idea about the idea of reading.
