reborn as a brother

The villagers are clear in their hearts, apricots are two coppers a catty, and there is no need to pick and sell them in the town, which saves a lot of trouble, so they are naturally happy.It’s just that there are some big-hearted people who think that two coppers a catty is cheaper, but some time ago it was three coppers.

Ji Anyi won't be taken advantage of by this, no matter what people say to him, how much jam can earn per catty, he just smiles gently, and doesn't bother to answer this question.

Whether you like to sell it or not, it doesn't matter if you have a few catties of apricots. Anyway, it's not him who loses.

He really doesn't have much patience for this kind of person who is not very human and likes to push forward. The more he talks to him, the more enthusiastic he becomes.

Smiling again, Ji Anyi sent away a person who came to sell apricots. Ji Anyi looked at the sun and estimated the time.

It's almost noon, we have to prepare lunch.

Silently calculated in my heart, I have collected 36 catties of apricots this morning.

There are a lot of them, but it's not a big deal. They can be stored in the cellar for a few days without much impact.

"Idiot, put the apricots in the cellar and put them away. I've chopped the chili sauce and I'm going to make lunch." People came one after another, and he didn't have much time to chop the chili sauce at all, and the morning was almost over. , I still haven't chopped it well, so I have to speed up the action, and I'm ready to make lunch after chopping it.

Probably everyone was busy making lunch, but no one came over.

After chopping up the chili sauce, he took a jar and filled it up. Ji Anyi hurriedly lit a fire to cook rice and vegetables.

After lunch, we took a break, cleaned up the kitchen, and the two of them took a short nap. After checking the time, it was halfway through, and it was time to go to the village chief's house.

By some small accident, the two children were also there.

At the age of five or six, he has already begun to show his style, and the older one is very serious, like a little old man, without any sense of disobedience, this is heredity, he guessed, this child should belong to the elders.

The younger one looks like a child, slightly chubby, with a pair of eyes that roll around, looking very clever.

Both children are very handsome.

When they passed by, a family of four were sitting under the sycamore tree and talking. The younger child was very lively. The village head and the older child didn’t talk much. The child and Mrs. Liu were muttering to each other, one voice was loud and the other soft, and they actually had a pleasant conversation.

"Come here." Seeing the two of them, Liu Damo stopped talking, smiled cheerfully, stood up and entered the room, and moved out two chairs.

Ji Anyi walked under the plane tree and greeted him with a smile. "Hello, village head. How is Mrs. Liu?"

Wang Xiaoer grinned beside him, his eyes shining brightly, and he fell on the village chief.

Obviously, he has a good impression of the village head. It wasn't like this yesterday. Looking at it like this, he really likes boxing.

"Sit down." Mrs. Liu sat back at the stone table.

It was only then that Ji Anyi noticed that the pot and cup on the stone table were gone, and there was a book on it. He was illiterate and couldn't understand what it was. It should be an introductory book.

Mrs. Liu was waiting for him to come over, and there was a warm feeling in her heart.

At this time, he remembered that the marinated fruit pulp in the morning can be used to cook jam.

Forget it, after you finish learning the characters, you can do it when you go back.Bring some over tomorrow and give Liu Damo a taste.

After learning the word for a hour, it is more than half of the application time.

Mrs. Liu said that this is all for now, learning characters is nothing more than anything else, there is no rush, you have to take your time.

Ji Anyi agrees with this statement, learning characters, especially at the beginning, really can't be rushed, take your time, relax your mind, and let the flow take its course, maybe the effect will be better.

Things in this world, sometimes, are always very strange.

The more you think about something, the more you can't go your way.

Instead of learning characters, they sat under the phoenix tree and chatted for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, Ji Anyi and Wang Xiaoer returned home.

As soon as they entered the door, the two got into the kitchen and started making jam.

Even though it was approaching evening, the day was still hot. Even though it was cooking on a low fire, I was still sweating while standing in front of the stove, and my blouse was wet before the pot was cooked.

Wang Xiaoer stood aside, holding a wrung wet cloth towel in his hand, looking very serious, wiping the sweat off his daughter-in-law's face.

Seeing his wife looking over, he would grin a big smile, and then he would shout. "daughter in law."

For unknown reasons, he always likes to yell these two words, and every time he yells, his tone will be extra joyous, just listening to it makes people feel good.

"It's a pity that there is no ice at home..." Ji Anyi muttered unconsciously.

After finishing speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his head.

How could he have forgotten this? This is also a way to make money.Crush the ice cubes, put some jam on top, add some milk, and have a bowl on this hot summer day. The taste is so refreshing.

Just thinking about it now makes him panic.

"Idiot, I thought of another way to make money." Ji Anyi held Wang Xiaoer's hand, smiling a little excitedly.

He is a big man, in modern times, he seldom eats this stuff, so he didn't remember it for a while.

This matter, he was sure, would be 100% popular.

If it wasn't getting late, Ji Anyi really thought, drag Wang Xiaoer into the town, find Su Jinming and talk about it, I don't know how much money he can get.

"Hey." Wang Xiaoer smiled cheerfully, and he was also happy when his wife was happy.

He knows about money, but he still doesn't understand how important money is.

With a new way to make money, Ji Anyi was in a particularly good mood, as if he was stepping on a cloud, a little floating.

At this moment, he didn't feel the heat at all. Instead, he became more energetic and made the jam more carefully.

After the two pots of jam were finished, it was already the beginning of the unitary hour, the sun was westward, bright red, and it would be sunset in a while.The wind blows, bringing a hint of coolness, which is very refreshing.

Ji Anyi put away his clothes, and when he saw the mother and the dog under the tree, he remembered that he said last night that he wanted to make a nest for the ewes.

He doesn't know how to do this, let alone a fool.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the carpenter in the village, and a better, square cage came out. Fortunately, the dog's kennel was also built together.

There is no rush for dinner, taking advantage of some free time, the door is closed, and Ji Anyi drags Wang Xiaoer to the carpenter's house.

The carpenter in the village is surnamed Lu, and his craftsmanship is not bad, and the price is not high. Everyone loves his custom-made objects.

"Master Lu." Arriving at Lu's house, Ji Anyi greeted with a smile.

Master Lu was busy, he looked up at him when he heard the voice, and asked. "What do you want to order?"

"A cage for ewes, and two dogs."

"Come and pick it up tomorrow afternoon. Forty copper coins, half of the deposit."

"Okay." Ji Anyi took out twenty copper coins and handed it over, and said again. "Master Lu, please."

When it was over, he and Wang Xiaoer turned around and walked towards home.

When I was about to get home, I met a villager who was carrying a wooden bucket and was walking towards his house, preparing to carry well water.

"Brother Ji, where are you and Brother Wang?" He greeted warmly and leaned towards them.

Ji Anyi smiled and answered. "Go to Master Lu's house to order some things. Brother He is early today, is the house busy?"

"Busy, how can I not be busy." Brother He replied, rolling his eyes around, and lowering his voice. "Ji Geer, I heard that you take chili sauce for four coppers a catty. Since my chili used water from your well, the longer the chili, the better it is. The color looks pleasing. I am quick at work. The chili sauce is guaranteed to be finely chopped."

This is to sell chili sauce, guess he came early, that's why?

Ji Anyi had a gentle smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart how he should reply.

It is enough to have Zhong San Ahmao to help chop the chili sauce.

"It's a bit late, and the amount of chili sauce is not much." After a pause, Ji Anyi continued. "It's a little less radish..."

Before he finished speaking, the second brother He cut off the conversation and said excitedly. "My radish grows well, but it looks like a fat man. I wonder how many radishes Ji Geer wants?"

"I don't know at the moment. I'll make a rough calculation when I get home, and I'll give Brother He an answer tomorrow. The price is the same as in the town. It's three copper plates a catty."

"Okay. Okay." Brother He replied happily. "Then I'll come over to look for Brother Ji tomorrow." As he said that, he turned around and left with the barrel in his hand, looking like he was about to go home.

There were no apricots in his house, and the chili was one step too late. Fortunately, he was smart enough to catch the radish and earn another fortune.

Ji Anyi was a little stunned.This is... not ready to pick well water?

When we got home, the sun had already set.

Ji Anyi started to prepare dinner, and Wang Xiaoer carried the well water to the mountain depression, which was to water the vegetable field.

Thinking that Brother Wang would come over in a while, Ji Anyi closed the kitchen door, quickly flashed into the space, filled a pot of spiritual spring water, picked some vegetables, and caught a fish.

After leaving the space, he put the pot in a relatively secluded place, and when Brother Wang came over, he poured him a large glass of spiritual spring water to drink.

The fish is made into hot and sour fish, and there are two other dishes, stir-fried pork with chili, and lean meat spinach soup.

The fish had just been cooked, Wang Xiaoer came back with an empty bucket, went into the kitchen, grinned happily at his wife, smiled for a while, then went to the back of the house, fetched a bucket of water, and then watered the vegetable field in front of the house .

When the dinner was ready and was about to eat, more and more people came to carry water.

They would all smile and say a few words, and Ji Anyi also smiled in response, and continued eating when they left.

In modern life, even in a small county town, the neighbors on the left and right are not familiar with each other. This is also related to himself. ?Where to go and wait, he is a little awkward, at most he just smiles when he meets him.How can there be such an atmosphere now, he said a few words naturally and enthusiastically, and then went about his own business. At the beginning, he was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it after more times.

After dinner, the kitchen was just cleaned up, and the sky was a little dark.

Closed the chicken coop and duck coop, took a shower, put the clothes in the wooden barrel unwashed, I thought I would wash them tomorrow, today I was chopping chili sauce and cooking jam again, my hands were a little tired, and my small skeleton was also Tender, the wrist is not strong enough, and it becomes a little sore after doing too many things.

Thinking about why Brother Wang hasn't come yet.

Ji Anyi moved two stools and sat on the eaves with Wang Xiaoer.

In the evening, the heat gradually dissipated, and the wind was a little bit cooler. Under the twilight, the smoke from the kitchen was curling up, and there were cicadas, dogs barking, occasional cats meowing, and the sounds of children laughing and shouting loudly for people to go home for dinner. , even the cattle driving home can raise their heads and make a sound as they walk.

Ji Anyi listened to all kinds of voices quietly, and looked at the picture in front of him, feeling very interesting in his heart.

Pursing his lips, he smiled unconsciously. Wang Xiaoer's eyes kept falling on his daughter-in-law. Seeing him smiling, although he didn't know why, he also smiled cheerfully.

Wang Bao'er came over with a wooden barrel, and saw from a distance that the two children were sitting under the eaves, laughing foolishly, and he didn't know what the joy was, and when he didn't notice it, his mouth also rose.
