Chapter 39: Complaint
The next day, Sakura "found" a lot of water chestnuts.
Water chestnuts are scattered all over the ditch, a few here, a few there, and a few farther away.
She can always pull a few trees out of the ditch without Dani Erni inadvertently.
This confused Dani and Erni.
Erni is a small person with little knowledge, thinking that her eyes are not as bright as her little cousin, so she didn't find that there was still a single grass hidden in the ditch.
Dani, who was already ten years old, wondered why she had searched for nothing, and as soon as her little cousin went over, she could pull out a few singles grass overgrown with water chestnuts.
Alas, forget it, since you can't find anything, let the little cousin find it alone, and just pick it up with Erni by yourself.
So, Dani and Erni followed behind to pick up the singles grass that Yingbao "pulled" out, and gathered together, there was a lot of it.
After Sakura took out the water chestnuts in the cave mansion in Sancheng, he stopped in time.
At this moment, Jiang Quan came, followed by two male babies.
These two boys are the youngest sons of plasterers Li Dayong and Li Eryong, one is named Li Dao, nine years old, and the other is Li He, eight years old.
Their father was beating adobe for the Jiang family and mud in Xiaonanshan, and their brothers and sisters were also over there to help cut the grass and dry the grass stems, keeping them for mud.
The two of them were young and couldn't help much, so they followed Jiang Quan to catch fish and shrimp so that they could improve the food for their families.
"Yo, so many water chestnuts."
Jiang Quan had already eaten this thing yesterday, and it was delicious, and he was so happy to see his sisters find a lot of them at this time.
This thing is much better than the wild cherry and sour apricots on the mountain, and it tastes even better when cooked.
"Second brother, come over and pick it up quickly." Dani shouted, "There are so many of them, we can't finish them." ”
"Oh." Jiang Quan walked over, put down the back basket and the net, and squatted down to pick water chestnuts.
The brothers Li Dao and Li He also came to help.
Ying Bao washed a few and handed them to the Li brothers: "Give you a taste first." ”
She had eaten the food given by these two children last year, and she happened to be reciprocating the favor at this time.
Li Dao Li He was embarrassed to take it at first, but later saw that Jiang Quan also ate it, so he took it.
Jiang Quan said while eating: "Yingbao, how did you find so many water chestnuts, why didn't I see them before?" ”
He often fishes and fishes for shrimp with his friends, but he doesn't notice that there is such a good thing growing in the ditch here.
Ying Bao said seriously: "You just want to catch fish and shrimp, of course you can't see it." ”
Jiang Quan touched his nose and felt that what his little cousin said made sense.
I really didn't pay much attention to the aquatic plants in the ditch.
"Second brother, we will definitely not be able to eat all these water chestnuts, tomorrow is the fair, it is better to take them to the town and sell them."
Sakura Bao thought about how to use the opportunity to sell water chestnuts to get some more, after all, there are still a lot of them in the cave, and they also occupy space.
Jiang Quan's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll go to the set tomorrow." ”
He is 12 years old this year, and he already understands the importance of money.
Not to mention that it will cost money to marry a wife and have children in the future, let's just say that now, there is no money to buy something you like.
The 100 wen in his hand was given by the third uncle last time, and he didn't give up any flowers, so he hid them all in the hole in the wall.
Sakura pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "I'll go too." ”
She's going to go to the market to make a leather saddle for the fawn, and then she can ride it for a long journey.
"Huh?" Jiang Quan scratched his head, "What are you going to do?" ”
The little cousin is so small, and she doesn't walk fast, so it's very troublesome to take her to the market.
And go to the market to sell things by yourself, in case something goes wrong, it's not good to lose your little cousin.
"I'm going." Seeing the reluctance of the second cousin, Sakura immediately said, "I will walk by myself, I don't want you to carry it." ”
Jiang Quan twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't be tired when the time comes." ”
"Hmm." Sakura has been exercising all the time, and it is not a problem to run more than ten miles alone.
Moreover, he eats a handful of Wudingzhi every day, and now his strength is greater than that of ingots, and he does not lose to him when he runs.
The next morning, Sakura got up early, fed the deer first, and sprinkled some wheat from Dongfu for the chickens.
After washing up in a hurry, I grabbed a piece of the egg cake that A-Niang had just made and ran to the front yard.
I came to the uncle's house in the front yard and looked around for my second cousin, but I didn't find it.
When I asked the eldest uncle, I learned that the second cousin rushed to the market with water chestnuts on his back early in the morning.
Sakura was stunned for a while, and suddenly raised her neck and cried, and the howl was earth-shattering.
Of course it's not really crying, she is not young in her past and present lives combined, she hasn't encountered anything sad, and she can't shed tears.
But she was so angry, angry that the kid went back on his word, and clearly said yes, but he actually betrayed his word.
If you don't let the eldest aunt treat him well today, you won't be reconciled.
Sure enough, the eldest aunt panicked, and hurriedly hugged her little niece and coaxed, "Bao'er, what's wrong?" ”
Sakura Bao howled in a straight voice, and did not delay accusing the second cousin, "The second brother said that he was going to take Bao'er to the market, but he ran away alone... Wow wow wow... He doesn't talk much, he lied to Bao'er......"
The eldest aunt helplessly patted her: "Bao'er, when your second brother comes back, the eldest aunt will definitely whip him hard." Okay, don't cry, the eldest aunt just made a water chestnut cake, and after steaming it will be given to Bao'er to eat. ”
Grandma Jiang Liu was also startled by Sakura's howl, and asked what was going on.
Knowing that the second grandson didn't take the little granddaughter to the market, he stomped his feet and scolded: "When he comes back, grandma will scold him, a stinky boy, dare to bully the little sister." ”
Then he shouted to his eldest grandson: "Dacheng! Dacheng! ”
Jiang Cheng was ventilating the bamboo shed, and when he heard his grandmother calling him, he responded: "What's the matter?" ”
"You don't have anything to do today, just take your cousin to the market, grandma will give you twenty wen, and if you see something delicious on the market, you can buy some and try it."
Last time, the third son gave her five taels of silver at one time, and now Jiang Liu's family has a lot of money, and he is happy to use money to make his little granddaughter happy.
"Oh!" Jiang Cheng promised: "I'll come right away." ”
Sakura Bao took it when she saw it, rubbed her eyes and stopped crying.
"What a good boy." Jiang Liu took Yingbao and sat down at the small table in the courtyard, and took a clean cloth towel to wipe her face.
Jiang Cheng came out of the bamboo shed and asked with a smile: "Yingbao wants to go to the market?" ”
Sakura nodded like pounded garlic, "Yes." ”
"Brother Lobby will take you there." Jiang Chengdao: "It just so happens that Dani also wants to go to the market to play, so let's go together." ”
Ying Bao jumped up happily, hugged Brother Lobby's calf, and raised his neck to compliment: "The eldest brother is the best, better than the second brother." ”
Jiang Cheng smiled and picked up Sakura Bao and put her in a back basket on his back.
Dani ran out happily, didn't even burn the sugar fire, went back to the house and changed her clothes and followed behind the eldest brother.
The eldest aunt took out a few hot horseshoe cakes from the freshly unopened steamer, wrapped them in washed reed leaves, stuffed them into the basket on which Sakura Bao was sitting, and instructed: "Wait until it is cold before eating, be careful not to burn it." ”
Sakura nodded violently: "Yes." Thank you, auntie. ”
and said obediently: "Bao'er went to the market to bring delicious food for the aunt and grandma to eat." ”
She had a lot of copper coins in her pocket, and there was a silver ingot of five taels in the cave.
Zhou touched Sakura's head and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Jiang Liu took out twenty yuan from the house, handed it to his eldest grandson, and said, "Take a good look at your sister." ”
"Know, grandma, don't worry."
After taking the money, Jiang Cheng carried his little cousin on his back, led his sister Dani, and hurried to Chuanhe Town.
Dani rarely has the opportunity to go to the market, and now the eldest brother wants to take her with him for the first time, and he is so happy.
The little girl who never talks much, chatters with her eldest brother and Sakura Bao along the way, and asks this and that, and she can't be happy.
Sakura Bao smiled and peeled out the cold water chestnut cake, handed it to Sister Dani, and gave it to Brother Lobby.
