Chapter 16 Take your younger siblings to catch the sea
After the blind date was finished, Zhang Ze took out the spices and other things in the bamboo basket and handed them to Zhang's mother: "Mom, the red armbands are strictly checked today, and I won't continue to sell the fish after I sell it." ”
"I don't have a lot of money, I bought some things and spent about the same, next time I have the opportunity to sell more, I'll give you money."
There is no separation, even if the daughter-in-law marries the door, the money has to be managed by the family.
Zhang Huihong is the head of the family, and she naturally manages the money.
In this way, Zhang Ze can help his younger brothers and sisters in the name of righteousness, until they can also live a stable life.
Of course, if Zhang Zeyu sells too much, he will keep some of it himself in the future, and when he can save money, he finds that he has no money in his pocket.
"Okay, Mama Qian will save for you to marry first. Now that Ah Wu is still young, my mother can't make a lot of money, and she has to wronged you for a few years. ”
"When my mother is old in the future, I will let your brother support me for the elderly, and my mother will eat him and live in his."
Zhang Huihong knows that the family can only rely on the eldest son for the time being, but she doesn't want the eldest son to suffer too much, so she plans to let the younger son share more when she is old.
When Zhang Ze heard this, he immediately cried and laughed: "Mom, what are you talking about, you shouldn't take care of you when you're old." Ah Wu and I will be filial to you, and you don't think about messy things. ”
When the two were talking, Zhang Wu happened to come back, followed by Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing, and saw that the three of them were holding several orange fruits in their hands.
When he saw Zhang Ze, he immediately showed a happy smile: "Brother, look, I picked several 'matchmakers', you can taste them." ”
"Where did you pick so many 'matchmakers'?" Zhang Ze stretched out his hand and took a fruit that was larger than the palm of his hand, and with a slight pinch, the fruit suddenly cracked, revealing the blood-red fruits inside, all of which were extremely attractive.
'Red Lady' is just their local dialect name, in fact, this fruit that looks very similar to bitter gourd is called leper gourd, also called leper grapes.
It is a plant of the same family as bitter gourd, but it is not bitter gourd.
The melon is slightly toxic and cold, so it's okay to eat less.
"We were looking for some water chestnuts, but we found these 'matchmakers' along the river."
Zhang Wu and the others put all the fruits on the table, and then they all came to the bamboo basket.
When they found the sugar and sugar gourd from it, the three of them happily divided their things, and they all said thank you sweetly.
Seeing the happy smiles of his family, Zhang Ze himself was also very satisfied.
Then he pointed to the textbooks in the bamboo basket and said, "I bought the textbooks, and we will study them by ourselves when we have time in the future, and I will follow you when I am at home." ”
"When school starts in the second half of the year, Ah Wu will go to school, but he will also study with us during this time."
Zhang Qian and the three of them nodded again and again, they had never been in contact with reading, and their enthusiasm for learning was still very high at the moment.
So while there was still some time before dinner, they couldn't even take care of the sugar, so they took out their textbooks one after another and said that they were going to study immediately.
Seeing this, Zhang Ze simply went to teach them to learn, starting with pinyin.
After teaching him a few times, Zhang Wu looked at him with a look of surprise: "Brother, how can you know pinyin?" ”
Before Zhang Ze could answer, Zhang Qian rubbed his head and laughed softly: "Brother, I've been in elementary school for a few years..."
Although the atmosphere in Qinghe Village is much better than in many places, there is no family that allows female children to go to school when they have an eldest son.
So Zhang Qian, who is only two years younger than Zhang Ze, has never studied, even if she is in the first grade of primary school.
"In the future, as long as you want to study, my brother will let you continue reading."
Zhang Ze smiled and made a promise, and then continued to teach them pinyin.
The afternoon was spent quickly in studying.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang Ze didn't plan to continue to let them study.
The main home has no electricity, and the kerosene lamp is used, and reading at night is not good for the eyes.
In addition, he thought that he was going to the beach tomorrow, so he asked Zhang Wu beside him: "Ah Wu, brother is going to the beach tomorrow, do you want to go together?" ”
"Brother, you're not going to sell fish tomorrow?" Zhang Wu, who had just eaten a piece of candy and was about to collect the candy wrapper, raised his head suspiciously.
"Well, are you coming?"
"Come on, come on, brother, you must call me tomorrow!"
"Then go and ask your two sisters if they want to be together."
"I'll go."
Zhang Wu couldn't take care of Baby Candy Paper, and hurriedly ran to another room.
After a while, he ran back with an excited face: "Brother, the second sister and the third sister all said to go with us." ”
"Okay, I see. You come out with me, and we'll get some straw ropes. ”
"Okay!"
Tomorrow he was going to the beach, Zhang Wu was full of motivation, and immediately followed him to the outside of the house.
The straw rope was made of straw straw, but the straw rope he might use tomorrow didn't care about the quality, so he used a sickle to cut some wild grass at random, and the three of them were braided together to weave the straw rope.
After weaving, he took three more weeds and connected them to extend the length.
Such a straw rope is very slender, and it is just right to tie blue crabs.
Zhang Wu looked inexplicable: "Brother, your straw ropes are not strong, what's the use?" ”
"I don't need to be strong, you'll know tomorrow, don't ask."
"Oh..."
Then Zhang Wu honestly followed and weaved straw ropes together, and he didn't get much, only weaving a dozen or so straw ropes of about two meters, and then the two went home with the ropes.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright in the early morning, Zhang Ze woke up naturally again.
Looking at the sky, he sighed, and then turned his head to find Zhang Wu sleeping like a pig.
Immediately stood up and stepped on the soles of his feet directly on his face: "Ah Wu, get up quickly, how did you sleep at a young age?" ”
"Woo~"
Zhang Wu, who was trampled on his face and couldn't breathe, danced for a while, and finally broke free from someone's feet that had just been soaked on Hong Kong Island, and then lay on the side of the bed and retched!
“yue~”
In fact, Zhang Ze's feet are not so smelly, but he has walked a lot recently, and he has a little athlete's foot.
Zhang Wu, a half-grown child, was originally very able to sleep, but he was tossed by him like this, and he woke up directly.
"Brother, you went too far, you actually stepped on me with the soles of your feet!"
Faced with his younger brother's angry appearance, Zhang Ze chose to turn a blind eye: "Go and wake up your two sisters." ”
Zhang Wu couldn't do anything about his own brother, but when he heard that he asked his sister to get up, he rolled his eyes, and immediately ran into the next room in a hurry as he agreed.
Just as Zhang Ze was brushing his teeth in the yard with a toothbrush, screams and scolding suddenly sounded in the house.
Then Zhang Wu suddenly opened the door and ran out, looking panicked.
Zhang Zezheng was surprised at what he had done, and then he saw that the old mother's clothes and hair were messy, and it seemed that the clothes were hurriedly put on his body and chased him out.
She held a stick in her hand and scolded Zhang Wu with a scolding on her lips.
"You little bunny has a lot of guts? Dare to fart in the face of the old lady! ”
"Poof~" Zhang Ze immediately squirted a mouthwash, how dare this bear child?
