Chapter 12: The Harvest

It was a little girl, eight or nine years old.

Goose egg face, combed with double snail buns, wearing a cardigan skirt, light pink top, white lower skirt, and silk ties, full of freshness, also very beautiful.

And the most attractive thing about her is the big eyes, full of agility, as if she can speak.

Behind him, a teenage maid and a man who looked like a guard.

"The story you tell is good!"

The voice was crisp, and the little girl smiled sweetly at Zhao Yu, and pinched the little hand of the silver beans and gestured.

Zhao Yu pursed his lips and stretched out his hand.

The little girl put the silver beans in Zhao Yu's hand, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the little girl leaving, Zhao Yu immediately put his mind on the silver beans in his hand.

The little girl is very beautiful, but it has nothing to do with Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu doesn't like Lori, he likes silver!

That's silver!

It was the first time Zhao Yu had seen silver when he crossed over, and this silver bean was made of one coin, which was equivalent to 100 yuan.

Zhao Yu never thought that there would be such a harvest from telling a story, nor did he expect that there would be such a generous existence among the people who listened to the story.

And this time, Zhao Yu has gained a lot!

The previous group of children gave a lot of money, more than a dozen copper plates, less than two or three yuan, there were five or six of them, and a total of forty-two yuan was contributed.

Coupled with this silver bean, Zhao Yu's two stories were exchanged for one hundred and forty-two dollars, which is equivalent to Zhao Yongzhuo selling seven pairs of dustpans, which is definitely a big harvest.

Seeing Zhao Yu holding so much money in his hands, even the eyes of the dog stall owner and another vendor next to him changed, and they looked at Zhao Yu and rolled their eyes.

Zhao Yu noticed the gaze of the two, hurriedly looked around, and happened to see Zhao Yongzhuo who came back after sending things.

"Daddy! I am here! ”

With a shout, Zhao Yusa ran towards Zhao Yongzhuo.

Hearing that Zhao Yu had an adult, the two vendors immediately withdrew their eyes.

Over there.

As soon as Zhao Yongzhuo returned to the stall, he heard Zhao Yu's shout, and when he saw that Zhao Yu had left the stall, he wanted to scold.

But after seeing the silver money in Zhao Yu's hand, Zhao Yongzhuo was shocked.

"Yu'er, where did you get so much money?"

Grabbing Zhao Yu, Zhao Yongzhuo looked at the copper plate and silver beans in Zhao Yu's hand seriously.

"I earned it myself! I just told the little yellow dog a story, and someone rewarded me with money! ”

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Yongzhuo with little stars in his eyes, and then did not forget to add:

"If you don't believe it, ask Uncle Ji Qiang!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yongzhuo looked at Zhao Jiqiang.

Zhao Jiqiang nodded with a wry smile, and then told Zhao Yongzhuo about the scene he had just seen.

However, Zhao Jiqiang was far away just now, and he didn't hear what story Zhao Yu was telling, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Yu curiously:

"Xiao Yu, what story did you just tell, how could those children give you so much money?"

"Journey to the West, the old gentleman told us about Journey to the West!"

Zhao Yu looked dazed, as if he didn't understand why those children gave him so much money.

Seeing Zhao Yu's ignorant appearance, Zhao Jiqiang smiled even more bitterly.

And after Zhao Yongzhuo heard that the money was clean, he relaxed.

But when he looked at Zhao Yu again, Zhao Yongzhuo's eyes were full of complexity.

He was tired and tired, and he only earned fifty-eight yuan by selling a load of firewood and two pairs of dustpans, but Zhao Yu earned nearly three times as much as him by playing tricks, how could he not be untouched?

"Give me the money, it's not safe for children to take so much money!"

After the complication, Zhao Yongzhuo grabbed it with his big hand and directly took all the copper plates and silver beans in Zhao Yu's hand.

Zhao Yu has no opinion, he earns money to improve the situation at home, and whoever takes it is the same.

Squat on the ground again.

Zhao Yu and Zhao Yongzhuo ate the rice balls prepared by the Hu family.

Then, under the scorching sun, Zhao Yu was dizzy from the sun again.

This time, Zhao Yu sat directly on the willow trunk and fell asleep.

This sleep is almost over.

Zhao Yu was woken up by Zhao Yongzhuo, and when he woke up, Zhao Yongzhuo had already packed up the things that he hadn't sold.

Zhao Yongzhuo asked Zhao Yu to look at things, and he entered the rice shop opposite with Zhao Jiqiang and Zhao Shuisheng.

When Zhao Yu was asleep, the three of them sold a few more bamboo products, and Zhao Jiqiang and Zhao Shuisheng earned dozens of dollars.

And Zhao Yongzhuo earned more, plus Zhao Yu earned by telling stories, Zhao Yongzhuo had more than 200 yuan.

When they came out of the rice shop, the three of them were carrying brown rice, and Zhao Yongzhuo was carrying more than 30 catties, grinning on his face.

Food is the most urgent need of the three families.

After buying brown rice, the three of them didn't have any extra money to buy other things, and because they had to go home, they didn't have time to wander around.

So after coming out of the rice shop, the four of them hurriedly left the city and hurried in the direction of Zhaojiagou.

When I went back to Zhaojiagou, I went up the mountain, and I had to take care of Zhao Yu, which took a lot of time.

When I returned to Zhaojiagou, it was already dark.

Inside a thatched hut at the west end of the village.

"My Yu'er is really amazing, but I can impress my mother!"

On the fire pit in the inner room, Hu Shi excitedly pecked Zhao Yu on the face, and then gathered under the oil lamp on the low table of the fire kang and counted the copper plates in his hand.

Zhao Yongzhuo had already told the Hu family about today's events, knowing that Zhao Yu had earned more than 100 yuan with two stories, not to mention how happy the Hu family was.

While counting the copper plates, Hu Shi also muttered:

"Yu'er can earn so much money today, thanks to the old man, I have to thank you another day! Yu'er, when you go to listen to the story tomorrow, you must also remember to thank the old gentleman, you know? ”

As he spoke, Hu Shi also took the time to pat Zhao Yu.

However, Zhao Yu walked for a day today, and he had no strength, and at this moment he was lying on the kang like a dead pig, squinting half-squinting, letting Hu fiddle.

In front of the fire, Zhao Yongzhuo was weaving a dustpan again.

Lamp oil for families who are not wealthy is precious, although lighting cannot be avoided, but Zhao Yongzhuo will not waste this limited light, so he has to do more.

While weaving a dustpan, Zhao Yongzhuo nodded in response:

"Yes! Another day, I want to thank the old gentleman! ”

Zhao Yongzhuo grinned, after returning home today, his mouth had not been closed, and at this time, he looked at Hu Shi counting the money, and said with a smile:

"I earned more than 200 wen today, I bought more than 30 catties of brown rice, and I still have 100 wen left! I thought that this brown rice would be enough for us to eat for a while, so I left this money and planned to save it for Yu'er Meng's learning! ”

"Hmm!"

Hu Shi smiled and nodded, and after counting twice in succession, it was exactly 100 words.

After putting the money away, Hu immediately brushed the hair at the corner of his forehead and looked at Zhao Yongzhuo.

The gaze was soft, and some... Blurred......

Zhao Yongzhuo was stunned when he saw Hu's gaze, and then his face suddenly turned red.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yongzhuo put down the things in his hand, patted the bamboo scraps on his body, and then moved the sleeping Zhao Yu to the side, and then climbed onto the kang.

Immediately, the lights went out......

In the dark.

Zhao Yu, who was in a daze, felt that the clay kang was a little shaky, and his little hand slowly pulled the thin quilt to wrap himself tightly, for fear of falling to the ground......
