The sieve was placed on a small stool, and a few leaves were placed inside, and the leaves were a little wilted.

Fang Jin's whole head was almost buried in, and it took a long time to raise his head. His already round eyes opened wider and rounder, full of surprise.

"Brother, Chong Chong is not dead yet!"

As soon as he raised his head, Fang Yan could see the situation in the sieve a little bit.I saw one of the slightly curled leaves shaking slightly at the moment, and if you cut it at an angle, you could see a worm as thick as his little finger inside.

If you look closely, you can see that it is the insect that is eating the leaf that is causing the leaf to shake.

The vitality is really strong!

Dialect sighed silently in his heart.

That day he was among the charred and green trees, for some reason he noticed the thing lying in the ashes at first sight, and inexplicably stepped forward to take a closer look, only to find that it was a bug, and then he brought it back out of nowhere Now, let's put it on Grandma Hua's side.

In short, all of this was done by him inexplicably.It's just that he didn't expect that he looked like a dead bug at the time... and now he is alive again.

"Oh, I was thinking that if I still do it today, I will go to the vegetable field to catch two for you."

"That's a silkworm..."

"what?"

Facing the two pairs of blank eyes, Fang Yan was silent for a while, and smiled: "Well, it's nothing." If you really support yourself, let's talk about it later.

"Grandma Hua, can I let you go for another two days? I'll take it back when my house is repaired."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter how long you keep it. But, brother Yan, do you really want to raise this bug?"

"Well, this bug looks very strange. I haven't seen it before. I'm keeping it for fun."

"..." Granny Hua looked at Fang Yan's happy smile, her smile narrowed slightly, and she finally showed her face after a long while, "Indeed, it's the first time I've seen this grandma Chongzi too, it's strange, don't worry, put it in grandma's eyes." That's no problem, it won't be eaten by chickens.

Come, drink honey water, this is specially left for you by grandma. "

"Thank you grandma."

"Hey, so cute!"

Not far from Pingsha Village is a large village called Ping'an Village. Standing on a hill, you can still see each other from head to tail. In fact, there are only two river bends, one on the left bank and the other on the right bank.The terrain is similar, so the size of the villages is similar, and because the villages often intermarry, the two villages are familiar with each other and get along relatively well. However, most of the people living in Ping'an Village are people with the surname Zhang, so people are used to being called Zhang. It's the Zhang family.

Zhangjia Village is much more famous than Pingsha Village. The main reason is that there is a great philanthropist in the village, and a scholar and a boy student in Zhang Dashan's family, so even the town has heard about it.

At the top of Ping'an Village are three large courtyards of green brick and tile-roofed houses, which are larger than the village head's house, and that is the house of Mr. Zhang Dashan.

Like Pingsha Village, because of the heavy rain in the past two days, many houses in the village leaked or the walls were damaged. They took advantage of the rain to stop and the sun came out to find time to move in materials to make up for the leaks.

People who are close or close to each other will consciously come to help, and it is rare to get together during the busy farming season, so it is inevitable to talk about some gossip topics in the village.

"Hey, when I woke up in the morning, I seemed to hear some movement from Zhang Shan's house. What happened? Or did Zhang Xiucai rush back to town just after he came back?"

"I saw it too. Before dawn, I saw his family's carriage entering the town. But he is not a scholar. He seemed to see people when I came here just now... I see that he must be hiring a doctor for the Zhang family boy again." went."

"Hey, this stepboy is also a tough guy, and this happened just after he passed the exam."

"Who says it's not? Although Yang Sanlang is a door-to-door, he is capable. Look at this business... Brother Zhang's family really didn't miss it. It's a pity to find a good husband-in-law for Ling girl. "

"Yeah, it's a pity that the two left early at such a young age, and as a result, something like that happened to the step-boy... Sigh, life is hard for a good man."

"That's right! I don't know if the boy's illness will be cured, otherwise Yang Sanlang will really be the last one."

Coincidentally, people on the other side also talked about this.

"The step-boy is also smart, and he passed the Tongsheng exam at just a few years old. If nothing happened, I think he will have a better future than Zhang Ruizhong in the future."

"Shh! You talk so loudly, be careful not to listen to others."

"Hey, Abao, what are you afraid of?" Even so, the man lowered his voice and muttered disdainfully, "If Yang Sanlang and Ling girl hadn't been pulled by his family, do you think Zhang Ruizhong could really be admitted to this scholar?"

"Anyway, he is now a scholar, and the family's land is exempted from taxes by him, so we don't have that life.

But he still has a conscience. Even if the step-boy has been a fool for two years, he still takes care of him without complaint, and asks the doctor to grab medicine from time to time. "The man who called Abao couldn't help sighing.

The man who came to help opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but thought that the neighbor was a solid-minded person, so he didn't say anything more, but he really disdainfully curled his lips in his heart.

Everyone envied the Zhang family, not only Yang Sanlang was able to earn money to build such a big house for Zhang Er's family, but also to provide for Zhang's study and get fame, and envied Zhang's ability to buy a house in the town after being admitted as a scholar. With some ability, which family doesn't want their children to be able to obtain fame one day?

The Zhang family now doesn't have to pay taxes on the ten acres of land, who wouldn't envy it?

It's a pity that reading is too difficult to support, just think about it.

Zhang Erjia.

"It's not that I don't have a conscience and don't want to care about my stepboy." Zhang Liushi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, muttered as she cleaned up the dishes, "But you and your parents have also seen it, beating up your stepboy is stupid... Since I was sick, have I stopped taking medicine someday?" This is how much money can’t afford to spend so much. And you see that Ruizhong has to study and help take care of the shop, and now he is going to prepare for the exam again. He is really too busy. How can he have time to take care of his stepboy? ?”

Old man Zhang was sitting under the eaves, clad in bamboo, and his wife, Zhang Luoshi, was sitting on a small pier, weaving baskets nimbly in her hands. The two elders didn’t talk to each other. After a long while, Zhang Luoshi said sullenly: "The shop can do it." Let Xiaoer watch it, and let Boss concentrate on studying."

Old man Zhang nodded, "Xiaoji is under our care. What your mother and I want is to let Xiaoji live in the town so that he can see the doctor..."

Mrs. Zhang Liu became anxious at the moment: "How can this work... No, what I mean is that father and mother have all gone to town, who will take care of this family? Besides, Ruizhong is now nervous, and so is Qi'er." The first time you take the exam, you need to be quiet, and there are too many people living in the house at this time, won’t it be noisy to them?”

The two elders thought it was true when they heard it. The eldest son had said it before and the grandson seemed to have a big exam this year, and he needed to study hard to prepare for the exam, so they were speechless.

Zhang Luoshi lowered his head and glanced to the right, then lowered his voice and asked, "Then, have Boss and Qi'er woke up?"

"How can it be so early? I don't think it will get up until the sun goes down. Anyway, someone will bring water and food to the house, and you can't die of hunger. What are you doing so early? Right, sister-in-law." The answer was Duan Zhang Xiulian, the youngest daughter-in-law who came walking through the sieve, Zhang Liushi couldn't help but change her face when she heard the voice, and suddenly became ugly when she heard the words again, but she couldn't find a way to refute for a while, because she was really serious at this meeting. To send the food back to her house, she had to give the sister-in-law who had been at odds with her angrily angrily glances, and then went out with the food.

Zhang Xiulian pursed her lips and snorted lightly, pretending she didn't see it.He really thought that he was an official lord, and his own nephew was so sick, wouldn't he just take a carriage and make some noise?

"Father, is Xiaoji awake?"

Old man Zhang shook his head silently, his face darkened, "Before I woke up in a daze for a while, your mother fed some rice soup and fell asleep again, I don't know..."

"Don't worry, Dad, Ruixiang will soon invite the doctor, and the step-son will definitely recover. You and mother should take care of your own health, so that the step-son can feel at ease."

The old man Zhang answered and buried his head in a piece of bamboo again. Zhang Xiulian looked at her father-in-law and then at her mother-in-law who was weaving bamboo baskets and wiping her tears. Pour the rice into the rice jar.

"Father and mother, this is the newly milled rice from Ruixiang yesterday, mother, you can use it to make porridge for your step son."

"It made your natal family think." Zhang Luoshi looked at this little daughter-in-law who was known as a pungent, with complicated thoughts, but at most she would be grateful, "Didn't your mother bring it for you and Xiaobao to eat? Take it like this What about that little treasure?"

Zhang Xiulian smiled, "I still have enough for Xiaobao to eat. Besides, Xiaobao can't eat that much now, and our family is not short of rice. Take him to play."

"Okay, okay, he's really a good grandson of our family. It's not in vain that our family spirit girl has loved him since she was a child." Zhang Luoshi smiled and said while wiping tears, "Xiaoji has a good brother, not bad."

Thinking of her weak nephew lying on the bed in the back room, Zhang Xiulian couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

The three of them were sad for a while, and Zhang Xiulian suddenly asked, "Is the elder brother not agreeing to bring the step-er back to town?"

As a result, the two elders were silent.

"I knew it." Zhang Xiulian almost cursed, and it was her father-in-law and mother-in-law who read in front of her, so she barely saved face, but she couldn't hide her sarcasm. , the house in the town was arranged by my aunt for my step-er to study, and I kindly let my elder brother live there too, but now my step-er wants to see a doctor, but I still need their consent?"

Old man Zhang defended with difficulty: "Isn't the boss also a little bit embarrassed."

"Embarrassed? What's the embarrassment?" Zhang Xiulian laughed angrily.

"The exam is about to take place, and the house is really not open." Zhang Luoshi also said without confidence, mainly because he didn't want to increase the conflict between the two houses.

The eldest daughter-in-law and the youngest daughter-in-law are at odds with each other, and they quarrel every day. Others think their family is harmonious and envious of their family, but who knows how difficult it is for the two old ones to be in the middle?

Now, because of the second grandson's illness, and taking care of the only son left behind by their son, daughter, and uncle, they are exhausted enough, and they really don't have so much energy to deal with the quarrel between the two families.

Zhang Xiulian's personality is a bit competitive, but she is still relatively rational. Although she doesn't like Dafang's family in her heart, she still respects and understands her parents-in-law and mother-in-law, and knows their embarrassment. As a daughter-in-law, it is not appropriate to say more, otherwise it will be said that she is restless and provokes the family. Although her reputation outside the world is not very good, she does not want to increase other people's gossip. .

So he suppressed his temper, held back his anger and said, "Father, why don't you just listen to your aunt's advice and marry your step-child?"

Hearing this, Zhang Luoshi was taken aback for a moment, and even the old man Zhang couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

"You mean?"

"Congratulations?"

"Well, since the Li family has withdrawn their marriage, let's find another one for our step-child. Given our sister-in-law's current family background, it shouldn't be difficult."

Old man Zhang and his wife looked at each other, "But our little step..."

"The step-er was just sick because of his parents' affairs and couldn't bear the blow for a while. Didn't the doctor who came from the city say that, as long as the step-er thinks about it, this stupid symptom will disappear. Naturally it was fine.

And maybe when the step-child becomes a relative, maybe it will really get better?

We can look nearby first, I believe those people know about our situation to some extent, if it doesn't work, let's go outside to look for it, because there will always be someone in our family who is willing. "

The light in the eyes of the old man Zhang and his wife became brighter the more they listened, and they almost immediately agreed with her words in their hearts, and finally their love for their grandson overwhelmed everything.

"Then I'll talk to Sister Ya tomorrow?" Zhang Luo asked inquiringly.

"to make."

In the end, old man Zhang nodded, and the matter was settled for the time being.

Whenever he touched Shangfang Mountain in a few days, he would always speak sourly, and he didn't bother to listen too much and simply hid.
