pastoral life

Chapter 20

Tangpinzhai has ordered a jar to be delivered in three days, so Mingzhu has another job in addition to daily housework, that is, taking Wang Xiaoxi and Wang Xiaotan up the mountain to pick wild hawthorns, and the two of Dahe and Xiaohu are always They were all led by Wang Mingchuan, if they had no other choice, they would never let the children be left alone. In the end, they were still confused by what happened to Wang Dahe back then.

Because Wang Mingchuan won the fame of a scholar, the village's reputation for him has also improved a lot. Among other things, the number of fights between Wang Xiaohu and the children outside has decreased significantly.Mingzhu later found out that the last time his face was injured was because Huang Erwa made up Wang Mingchuan in front of him with a broken mouth. Erwa was beaten up hard, except for Huang Erwa, there were several other kids in the village who talked about Wang Mingchuan who were beaten up by Wang Xiaohu. Admit bad luck.

Mingzhu didn’t care if the beaten person didn’t come to make trouble. It’s not normal for a boy not to fight when he was a child. Mingzhu didn’t think about arresting Wang Xiaohu. She just made it clear to him that those joints are not allowed to fight. Son, Wang Xiaohu is also a transparent one, and since then he has kept in mind Mingzhu's teachings and developed beating into a hooligan art. On the way to dominate the mountain, he beat a group of children over and over again, but he was stunned. I have never been approached by someone's parents. I have to say... this kid is very clever.

In July, Chuanshandang has ushered in the first big harvest. The rapeseed planted years ago has gone through the spring, and after the spring is full of tender yellow pollen, it has now become a tube of full-grained rapeseed. Hanging on the rape stalks, Mingzhu looked coldly at the rape stalks of other houses that had not been harvested and had been bundled up on the ground, feeling somewhat depressed in her heart.

Their family missed some rapeseed.

In other words, Wang's oil had to be changed in the workshop.

Mingzhu scratched his head, he still had to buy back the land he had sold when he had more money in the coming year, and now even if he wanted some rapeseed, their soil was not enough, he still wanted to raise fish in rice fields, but he didn’t make a living with these things now Sanwan Moon Field is not enough to grow rice.

There are six members of a family, six mouths, but only two laborers, and these two laborers are immature, at most they are one and a half of another family, and Mingzhu is so scalped that she almost loses her head, but she still can't figure out how to recruit them.

"Brother Mingzhu, let's go home, it looks like it's going to rain today."

Just as Mingzhu was scratching his scalp, Wang Xiaoxi tugged at the hem of his clothes. Mingzhu looked up to see that the sky was a little gloomy, so she carried the basket on her back without delay and led Wang Xiaoxi and Wang Xiaotan to go home.

Now the hawthorn cake can be regarded as an income in my hands, but the effect is not sure yet. If there is a way, I can try to make wild sweet potatoes in the future, and then wait for the thorns to be red. Pick it up and dry it It can also be sold at the herbal medicine store. These mountain products are naturally raised, and other families are busy with the harvest in the field, so there is no time for the harvest, but it is cheap and there is little land like Mingzhu.

"Pearl!"

Someone called out from behind, Mingzhu looked back, but it was Fang Tiezhu who was greeting him with a hoe in his field, Mingzhu waved her hand and called Brother Fang, who took two or three steps in the gap to come over and talk to him :

"I was thinking about going to your house to find this piece. When I went to the city to deliver charcoal in the morning, Aunt Li said that I would bring you a message. The clothes made for Xiaoxi Xiaotan and the others were finished. Next time you go to the city, take them there, and if there are any inappropriate ones, just take advantage of your spare time to change them, it’s so hot today that the girl’s house should wear some flowery clothes, isn’t it?”

When Fang Tiezhu mentioned this matter, Mingzhu remembered that when she accompanied Wang Mingchuan to the city for the exam, Aunt Li said she was going to make clothes. It's happy to feel sorry, so I stayed and chatted for a while, then thanked Fang Tiezhu and went to the family.

**

This time, Mingzhu only brought two younger ones into the city. Now that they are familiar with the door, there is no need for both adults to run into the city. Therefore, Wang Mingchuan stayed in the field to work and take care of his two younger brothers, Mingzhu. But he took two little girls from left to right to find Aunt Li, and still carried the hawthorn cake that was to be sent to Tangpinzhai on his back.

After putting the two little ones at Aunt Li's side, Mingzhu went to Tangpin Zhai. Although Wang Xiaohu was lost by playing tricks like this last time, now that there is no courtyard test for Aunt Li's steamed bun shop, it won't be too busy Seeing that the two children were not free, and secondly, the little girl's family was still more obedient than a boy like Wang Xiaohu, so Mingzhu went to Tangpin Zhai by herself after explaining it to her.Because it was a delivery, Yi Mingzhu always came early in the morning when there were fewer people. This time it was earlier than last time, and Yi Tang didn't even see a single customer in the candy store, only the boy Zhang Dashun Stay in the lobby.

"Brother Xue, you are here!"

Seeing Mingzhu rushing up, Zhang Dashun took the bamboo basket on Mingzhu's back very graciously. He was older than Mingzhu and naturally stronger, so it didn't take much effort to get out the jar of hawthorn cakes. A pair of bright eyes are extremely creepy.

"You are here. The jar you bought three days ago was sold out in just two days. It is said that it is just a good way to relieve the heat and appetizers. It is not enough to eat a box or two. I always come to pack three or four. It’s only reconciled to the box, no, yesterday I didn’t have anything to sell and I suffered a lot of complaints.”

"real?!"

Mingzhu opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Dashun. Seeing that he didn't believe him, the latter deliberately brought an empty jar from the inner room. The hawthorn cakes that were originally filled in it were gone, and only some bamboo strips used to fix it were scattered. Come on, this altar... was sold out?

"I told you that I still don't believe it. Now I see it. I can send more in the future. This item is marketed, but it brings other snacks in the store. The shopkeeper always expects you to come earlier. If Tonight, I must be driven to Chuanshantai to find you!"

Happiness came too suddenly, just worried about money, and now he is earning money, Mingzhu felt that he had made money for the first time since he came to this world, not coins, this time, he can really see it Silver!

Bastard, can he say that he can finally see silver when he grows up so big!

Zhang Dashun moved the jar to the back with his bare hands and only filled a plate and put it on the display shelf outside. This was the first time Mingzhu saw a plate for Tangpinzhai containing hawthorn cakes. The large round porcelain plate was decorated with plum petals. The others were no longer visible, only six translucent green and reddish hawthorn cakes were placed neatly on the white porcelain plate, which made the white porcelain more delicious and brighter.

Even knowing that this is a pearl made by himself, he couldn't help swallowing. Clothes make a person, and this sentence is the same when it comes to dim sum.

"Look, this altar probably won't be past noon tomorrow. If you have time there, it's fine if you can deliver it tomorrow. The shopkeeper said that the wages can be settled earlier, so you can buy materials and turn around. Brother Xue, look at it. ?”

"I don't have much to do every day. I can still come tomorrow. I just need to trouble Brother Shunzi to run around."

Mingzhu didn't ask them how much a piece of hawthorn cake sold here, anyway, looking at the momentum, they should be able to make a small profit.It’s not a problem to always sell hawthorn cakes, after all, the wild hawthorns across the mountain are not inexhaustible. Mingzhu was thinking about making wild sweet potatoes while walking back with the empty jars she had replaced. He was full of money, but he couldn't even look ahead when he was walking. Fortunately, there were not many people on the road so early, so he only bumped into one person while wandering all the way like a ghost.

Mingzhu covered her face.

He'd rather run into a group of people.

"Why do you have no eyes!"

Mingzhu knew she was wronged, and she didn't want to argue with this person, she just smiled and apologized, but when the two sides met each other, they were both stunned.

"I don't know who it is."

Xue Mingyu brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and glanced at Mingzhu with extreme disgust. For a moment, Kung Fu Mingzhu even felt that this guy was looking at him like a bug.

"Just now I was in a hurry and didn't see my eldest brother. Where are you going this early in the morning?"

Mingzhu pretended not to see the contempt on Xue Mingyu's face that could not be concealed by several layers of powder, and only greeted him with a smile.

"I have a lot of places to go and I have to talk to you one by one, can't I finish? Go for a walk, don't stand in the way here again, I don't have to suffer from the bad luck of your family in the early morning."

Xue Mingyu has hated Mingzhu ever since he was beaten by Xue Da that day. If Xue Mingzhu hadn't come to disrupt the situation that time, at least he would have suffered some flesh and blood, so he wouldn't be ashamed of it. If he can't hold his head up in the village for a long time, thanks to Wang Juren's family now, he doesn't have to go back to that corner of the small village, otherwise he wouldn't know how he would be laughed at.

Look well, when he goes to high school next year, he must know the good and bad of these people who don't make him feel good!

Xue Mingyu left Mingzhu behind regardless and ran away, but Mingzhu was relieved and picked up the bag in the pannier. Mingzhu carefully saw the road before walking forward cautiously. She never thought that she would meet an acquaintance again when she turned the corner But this time only Mingzhu saw him.

Yang Wenhua?

Why is this kid sneaking behind Xue Mingyu?

Mingzhu was curious, but she still didn't follow. This Yang Wenhua is the daughter-in-law of the Xie family. If he really found out some secrets, it would be impossible to explain it clearly. Therefore, Mingzhu only followed Yang Wenhua in many directions. After taking a second look, he carried the bamboo basket and walked towards Mrs. Xue. Along the way, he turned a few turns in his mind, but he had a clue to something that he hadn't been able to figure out before.

Look at this momentum, there must be something tricky between Yang Wenhua and Xue Mingyu. Thinking about Yang Wenhua's life and death being close to Mingzhu, they should also have something to do with Xue Mingyu. Although they still can't figure out the reason, it is much better than random guessing in the past. Mingzhu is at ease , Even the pace of the return journey has become more stable.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your support, I will relax after the exam tomorrow, Amen.
