Pastoral Trifles: The Poor Girl Turns Over

Chapter 18
"Well, I'll keep it for you!" Xu Ruyun nodded in agreement, and stuffed another mouthful of meat into Cheng Huan's mouth.

The cauldron stew was amazing!Cheng Huan sighed inwardly. Hearing Xu Ruyun talk about greedy cats, he thought of Xiao Jiu.

She took Xu Ruyun's hand and acted like a baby, asked for a small handful of oil shuttle, held it in her hand and ran out of the room.

When we arrived at the backyard, it was quiet, the willow leaves outside the house were shaking gently, and the air was probably filled with the smell of earth.

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu! Come out, there is something good to eat!" Cheng Huan whispered to the mouse hole, and after a while, he saw a gray mouse come out of its head, and carefully looked around before agreeing. climb out.

"Why are you so careful?" Cheng Huan asked.

"I don't know who has a cat. I went out to look for food this morning. I almost died. I was so scared to death!" Xiao Jiu took a deep breath as she spoke.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Cheng Huan smiled, stretched out his right hand, and then unfolded, a large number of oil shuttles were exposed in front of Xiao Jiu, seeing the mouse's eyes widen suddenly, and then rushed to Cheng Huan's There was a kiss under the heels, and before Cheng Huan could react, Xiao Jiu had already run to the front again, hugged the oil shuttles one by one, sat on the ground and ate carefully.

"It's so delicious and fragrant!" Xiao Jiu praised while eating, "It's nice to have you as a friend. I haven't eaten such good food for a long time. When I have something good, I will give it to you!"

Cheng Huan squatted down and smiled: "If you hadn't helped me last time, the matter would not have been so easy to solve, thank you!"

"Didn't you bring me something good, why should we be so polite!" Xiao Jiu's mouth was stuffed, only a gap was exposed, and he said indistinctly.

Cheng Huan chuckled, Cheng Jia's voice came from the front yard, Cheng Huan bid farewell to Xiao Jiu, and ran to find Cheng Jia.

After Cheng Jia washed her hands and face, she slumped the wild vegetables dug in the field on the ground and asked Cheng Huan to pick vegetables with her, and they chatted while picking vegetables. .

Standing in the big basin, Cheng Qian looked at the basin full of fish, and was surprised that Cheng Huan was able to exchange this thing for 30 taels of silver.
While arranging the bowls and chopsticks, Xu Ruyun yelled to the east end: "He'er, stop reading and eat!"

The voice of Cheng He's promise came from the house, and the whole yard was immersed in warmth. Cheng Huan looked at the busy family. Although this kind of life was poor, it was more lonely than the previous life. She seemed to feel that such a life was a little bit happier. !

After dinner, Cheng Jia and Cheng Qian went to the field again after sleeping, Cheng Huan was busy cleaning up the fish, Xu Ruyun also came to help, the two of them were doing it, Cheng Huan was talking to Xu Ruyun.

"Mother, let's stew two fish tonight. My brother's classmate showed him the notes. We said that we invited someone over for dinner. We will make some steamed stuffed buns with oil shuttle and wild vegetables. It will be delicious. Would you like it?" ?”

Xu Ruyun imitated Cheng Huan's way of handling fish, and replied as she handled it: "That should be it. Your brother hasn't been to school for a while, and he must not be able to do it in many places. It's good to have notes. We don't eat meat at noon. Wait In the evening, the guests came to eat together, but fortunately there are still some oil shuttles left, who did you invite?"

"Just one person, my brother said his name is Song Fanhua!" Cheng Huan replied obediently.

"That kid is a good kid. He's so smart. No one in ten miles or eight villages knows. If he can't guarantee that he will become a high-ranking official in the future, his life will be hard, but it's the same if he has the ability in the future!" Xu Ruyun said, and had already handled a fish. , placed in a large basin.

Cheng Huan didn't answer the conversation, who knows what will happen in the future, so he changed the subject and said, "Mom, if the family is busy, let my brother go to school tomorrow."

Xu Ruyun thought for a while, although Cheng He was injured, she could go fishing with Cheng Huan today, and when she came back, she looked like a normal person, and if she refused to go to school, she might be worried about her family, but the pillar of the family is Him, if he doesn't have the ability, the whole family will have to endure hardships. Fortunately, he is good at studying, so how can he delay it.

Xu Ruyun nodded, "Well, I'll let him go tomorrow. I've already prepared the tuition fee for him. I'll go to the shop at the west end of the village to sell some meat and snacks in a while. Let him bring it to the master tomorrow!"
