Jiang Sanlang, Li Dayong, and Li Eryong quickly cut five hundred pepper vines and handed them over to Chen Changsheng.

He was kind enough to give them ten more, and then he took up the money.

Turning his head to see that the little girl had been watching, he asked with a smile: "Have you finished picking the apple?" ”

"Hmm." Sakura looked at the pepper garden, and saw that the vines were much thinner, and thought about going back and watering them with pupil springs. "Dad, who else wants to buy pepper seedlings?"

Jiang Saburo thought for a while and said, "That's a lot, the village officials from several surrounding villages have come to make an appointment, but our pepper vines are not enough." ”

No matter what, you can't cut your own pepper vines bald, so you can only let those people wait in line for the new vines to grow.

Sakura nodded and spun around.

Daddy cut the vines intermittently, and cut at most two small roots on a pepper, so it did not affect the flowering and fruiting of his pepper.

Fortunately, pepper, like kudzu vines, is a perennial vine that can grow for many years, so she is not worried about needing to replant next year.

The question is how do you take out the pepper vine seedlings and give them to my dad to sell?

She is short of money, not only for her, but also for her parents.

During this time, the family bought a house in the county, bought a shop, repaired, made furniture shelves, counters, etc., and bought a lot of household items, basically spending all the savings in their hands.

Even though my father and mother later sold a batch of golden fungus, they were all thrown into the county town's house.

The dividends of himself and the lobby brother were also spent in the shop one after another.

Because the grass huts at the back of the shop had to be rebuilt, she wanted to change the low and damp grass houses into a few large blue brick and tile houses, which were convenient for living and inventory.

So her monthly dividends are all asked to help her buy bricks and tiles to stack in the yard, and start work just after the materials are enough.

When I came out of the pepper garden, I saw a few children on the martial arts training ground not far away.

And his younger brother Jiang Wu has already practiced with Master Zhang on the plum blossom pile.

Sakura Po and two puppies stood not far away to watch.

Zhang Meng's punch speed was very fast, but Jiang Wu was not slow to dodge, and he also kicked Zhang Meng coldly, but because of the short calf, it didn't hurt at all.

Sakura looked at it for a moment, then looked at the children in the field.

There is five-year-old Chen Bozhong, and several dolls with raw faces, which are estimated to be children from neighboring villages.

Huzi is not here, he has to study and read in the school, and he only has time to practice martial arts in the afternoon.

And his younger brother practiced martial arts in the morning and went to the school in the afternoon. The brothers were staggered, and Master Zhang Meng was convenient for one-on-one teaching.

"Sister!" After Jiang Wu and Master Zhang Meng finished their training, they jumped down and ran towards their sister.

"Let's spar." The little doll makes an attack pose towards her sister.

"Good!" Sakura took the satchel and threw it to Rhubarb and Black, and took on her brother herself.

She relied on her height advantage of being more than a year older than her younger brother, coupled with the experience of practicing dance in her previous life, her speed and reaction ability were not weak, and she was on par with Jiang Wu, and she had a faint upper hand.

But after all, he didn't practice much two-person fighting, and in the end he was knocked down by his younger brother.

"Not bad, not bad!" Master Zhang Meng came over and asked with a smile, "Do you want to learn along?" ”

Ying Bao nodded: "Yes, but I still have to go to the medicine hall, so I can only come to learn occasionally." ”

Zhang Meng: "Women practice martial arts just to protect themselves, you can learn more about the enemy's moves." Listen to Jiang Wu say that you practice basic skills every day? ”

"Hmm."

"Then I'll teach you a few tricks to deal with the enemy." Zhang Meng pulled Jiang Wu over and pointed at him: "The woman's strength is small, you can find the key point of the opponent and defeat the enemy with one blow." ”

As he spoke, he compared with Jiang Wu, "The enemy's vital parts include the head, throat, chest, abdomen, ribs, and crotch. ”

Saying that, Xuxu made punches, kicks, palm slashes, knee rushes, elbows and other actions on Jiang Wu's body.

Then he beckoned to Ying Bao, "You can try to practice with Jiang Wu." ”

So, Ying Bao and his younger brother practiced one move at a time in the martial arts training field until noon, until Chu Chu shouted to eat.

Due to the long distance, several children from neighboring villages brought food to Master Zhang Meng at noon, and Chu Chu usually helped cook.

Occasionally, Jiang Wu also eats here, but today my sister came back, and A-Niang made delicious food at home, so he and his sister naturally did not stay for dinner.

"Sakura-bo, stay and taste the fried loaches I made." Chu Chu spoke up.

Ying Bao looked at Chu Chu, then at Zhang Meng, and shook his head: "No, I'll go home and eat." ”

Chu Chu saw that Yingbao really refused to stay, so he went to pick two melon leaves and wrapped some fried loaches and stuffed them for Yingbao and Jiang Wu. "It's fried in lard, it's fragrant."

She went to soak pepper with Dani Erni in the morning, caught a lot of loaches in a small mud pit by the river with a bamboo basket, and gave Chun Niang some more when she came back.

Sakura Po was not polite, and took it and went home while eating.

Looking back at Chu Chu again, I saw her and Zhang Meng sitting opposite each other on both sides of the table to eat, and from time to time they took a chopstick dish to Zhang Meng's bowl, and Zhang Meng also accepted it freely.

There were a few children sitting to the left and right, and it was almost like a family.

The sixteen-year-old girl is bright and beautiful, and she seems to be a perfect match for Zhang Meng at the moment.

And this Zhang was unexpectedly young after shaving off the stubble on his face, he looked like he was only twenty-eight or nineteen years old, and his appearance and temperament were also heroic, but it was a pity that he was missing several fingers on his right hand.

Sakura thought all the way home.

Chunniang had already prepared the meal and was about to go out to call her children back, when she saw the two of them enter the door, she brought the food and put it under the grape trellis in the yard and beckoned them to eat.

Today, I made braised fish, fried leeks with shrimp, fried loach, winter melon soup, a few boiled and cut salted eggs, and a pot of white rice.

Sakura and her brother washed their hands and faces, sat down at the small dining table, and took the dishes and chopsticks handed by A-Niang.

"After eating, I want to soak some soybeans and cook beans and dry sauce at night."

Chunniang said to her husband while eating: "You take the time to go to the town to buy more salt and come back, and I will mix the sauce when I go back." ”

Jiang Saburo: "Didn't you buy salt yesterday?" ”

"Where's that bit of salt? I want to get more sun, and I can eat it until the beginning of spring next year. ”

"Oh, then I'll go next morning."

After eating, Chunniang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks to wash, Yingbao wiped the table with a rag, and fed the two puppies some winter melon soup and rice.

Chun Niang washed the pots and bowls, and picked the sand and bad beans in the soybeans under the grape trellis.

Sakura also moved a stool to sit down and pick it up together, listening to A-Niang's chatter while picking it up.

"I went back to the county to see Xiaojie, and he asked why you didn't go to see him."

"Then I'll go back and tell Grandpa Li to adjust the rest time to the first or fifteenth day of the new year, and then go to the county seat with you." Sakura Treasure Road.

Chunniang nodded: "It's okay, let's go together on the first day of next month." ”

In the evening, Sakura Bao took the two dogs alone to water the pepper garden, and then went to the martial arts training ground to practice fighting skills with Jiang Jie.

There is Master Zhang Meng next to her who keeps guiding, and she is making rapid progress.
