Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 101

After Zhang Zhang heard the idea, he kept saying yes. Seeing that his elder brother agreed, Zhang Yun immediately started preparations. When Zhang Youqing came back, he dragged him up the mountain, saying that he wanted to chop bamboo to make containers.

Zhang Youqing didn't object, so he went up the mountain with a machete, and after cutting down a whole bamboo, the father and daughter dragged them home.After getting the bamboo, Zhang Yun told Zhang Youqing the idea. She was going to make bamboo tubes to hold tea oil.

Selling camellia oil is no different than cattail utensils. You can just hold the real thing. After all, tea oil is something to eat, so you have to let others taste it. I can make some small bamboo tubes, and I guess they can hold about a tael of tea oil, so it won't be too distressing to give them as gifts for tasting.

After Zhang Youqing heard it, he naturally agreed. He took a saw to saw the bamboo that night, and spent two nights to make more than a dozen simple bamboo tubes.After Zhang Yun washed and drained all the bamboo tubes, he took out the remaining tea oil at home, packed them into bamboo tubes, and stuffed them with the special plugs made by Zhang Youqing. Hand carry.

After the tea oil in the bamboo tube was ready, the other end of the charter was also ready, and several boys who had been to Changzhou were also contacted.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Zhang went out with his cattail utensils and tea oil in a bamboo tube. Zhang Yun also followed him out of the yard, helped his elder brother get some utensils, and sent him out of the village to join in the fun.

As soon as Zhang Yun walked out of the door, he thought of something, turned his head and shouted into the courtyard: "Xingzi, it's time for you to go to school, let's go together."

Hearing the shout, Zhang Xing ran into the yard, rushed to her, took some utensils in her hand, and walked out of the yard together, saying, "Sister, the master said that we will rest for a day today. Go to school tomorrow."

"Then why are you still here?" Zhang Yun stopped when he heard this, and asked.

But Zhang Xing pulled her to go, and said with a smile: "Sister, you can join in the fun, why can't I join in the fun, I will come back with you later." Zhang Yun poked his forehead with a smile, and let it go He followed, and the three brothers and sisters went to the entrance of the village together.

Before the three of them arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Mrs. Wu and Wu Xulang at the entrance of the small path outside the school. He followed beside him, carefully watching his grandfather walking slowly back and forth.

"Master." The three brothers and sisters called out from a long distance, Master Wu stopped when he heard the call, looked up to see them, and immediately smiled and said, "Where are you going?"

"Master, my eldest brother is going to the town, and we are sending him off." Zhang Yun replied with a smile, Master Wu was refreshed when he heard this, and said loudly: "Then, would you like to take the old man with you? "

When Wu Xulang heard this, he hurriedly said nervously, "Grandpa, you just took off the board on your foot, how can you do it by walking a long distance?"

Master Wu smiled and waved his hands, and said: "Since the board has been removed, everything is done. Doctor Lin and the young doctor have ordered to walk around more, and I haven't gone out for a few steps for a long time. It just so happens that I don't have to teach today, so it's just a good time to go. Walk around town."

Wu Xulang couldn't rest assured, he was waiting to persuade, but Master Wu had already started walking forward, so frightened that he hurried up to stop him.

The grandpa and grandson were at a stalemate, Chang Zhu and Chang Liang also came with their utensils, they both went to Changzhou together this time, seeing this situation, they stopped in their tracks.

"Why don't I push a wheelbarrow. If Master is tired from walking, you can sit in the cart and let me push it." Chang Zhu immediately came up with an idea, Master Wu was very happy to hear it, and Wu Xulang couldn't stop it If you go down, you can only accept it.

Chang Zhu hurriedly put down his burden and ran home. After a while, he pushed a wheelbarrow over, and someone followed him. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Chang Juan.

"You go to town, why don't you call me?" Chang Juan yelled as soon as she came over. She always joins in wherever she has fun. To put it bluntly, you know better than anyone else how exciting it is.”

Chang Juan didn't take offense when she heard this, and ran to them directly, and followed them.Chang Zhu pushed the cart forward with a smile, and said, "I have to carry the burden, and I can't push the cart. Since you want to follow, then help push the cart."

Pushing the cart is of course a trivial matter. Chang Juan took it without saying a word, but she was a little confused about what the cart was for, so she asked, "You guys are not going to town, why do you want to push the cart?"

"Master is also going with us. We are afraid that his legs are just right and he will be tired after walking for a long time. Then he can take the car and we will push him to the town." Chang Zhu went over to pick up his own burden and took a step forward. Go forward, and the others also go forward together.

It was only then that Chang Juan realized that Mrs. Wu and Wu Xulang were walking slowly not far away. Although she was a little awkward seeing Wu Xulang, she still smiled heartily and said, "All right, let me push the car. When the time comes, Master Sit on it, and I can push it."

The boys and Zhang Yun all laughed, no one questioned her strength, and they all nodded in agreement. On the contrary, Wu Xulang, who was not far away, turned his head and glanced at her when he heard this, without saying anything. What, quickly turned around, followed behind Grandpa, and walked slowly.

After Zhang Yun arrived at the entrance of the village, he hung the utensils in his hand on the burden of regulations, and then stopped, ready to turn around and go back.

Seeing that she was going back, Chang Juan hurriedly shouted, "Yun'er, why don't you go?"

"It's almost the end of the month. Our family needs to squeeze oil at the beginning of the month, and the camellia seeds at home need to be pounded quickly. I really don't have time to go there." Zhang Yun hurriedly replied, and Chang Juan didn't force her when she saw that she really didn't have time. After talking to her a few words, he pushed the car and caught up with the other people in front, and went to Changyuan Town together.

Seeing them walking, Zhang Yun pulled Zhang Xing and turned back. After returning home, he started to get busy. In a few days, he would catch fish, and when the fish was caught, he would have to press oil on the wheels. It's time to start pounding.

Throughout the whole day, Zhang Yun and Zhou were busy pounding the camellia seeds. They didn't stop until the evening when the sun was heading towards the west. They cleaned up the debris in the yard and moved the unpounded camellia seeds back. After the pounding was finished, the stone mortar was carried back to its original position. After everything was done, we started to cook dinner.

After the mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen for a while, Zhang Youqing and Zhang Liangen came back from the field. When the cooked dishes were put on the table, Zhang Zhang hadn't come back yet.

The family members just sat and waited for a while, and watched the sun set in the west, and when it was almost dark, Zhang Zhangzhang entered the courtyard with a burden.

"Cheng Zi, why is it so late, let's rest our burdens and wash our hands so we can eat." Mrs. Zhou went to the door to look around from time to time, and when she saw Zhang Zhang, she hurriedly stepped out of the main room and walked up to him.

Zhang Zhang immediately entered the main room, rested his burden, and replied: "It wouldn't be so late at first, but something happened to delay it." After saying a few words, he went out of the main room to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then arrived Sit down at the table.

Mrs. Zhou had already gone to the kitchen to help serve the meal, and the family sat around and started eating.

"Did something happen on the road? Or is there something wrong?" Zhou asked after taking a few bites.

"Nothing happened on the way, and this trip to find the store went smoothly. Although it is not as good as in Changzhou, we also talked about two stores and left some goods there, especially the tea oil. The shopkeepers in bamboo tubes we brought We have accepted all of them, and many families are willing to take our camellia oil, and only wait for the time to squeeze it out, so we can send it to try and sell." Zhang Zhang slowly told the family about today's situation.

When Zhang's family heard this, they all smiled. They finally got off to a good start, and if they work harder in the future, the sales of tea oil should not be a problem.

"Then since everything is going well, why do you still say that something has delayed it?" Of course Zhou is also very happy, but he still hasn't forgotten what Zhang Zhang said just now.

Zhang Zhang took a few mouthfuls of corn paste and said, "It's okay for us to arrive. What I said was delayed, it's about the master."

"Master?" Now everyone became curious and turned to look at Zhang Zhang.

Zhang Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, there is such a coincidence that the master went to the town this time, so he met the relatives who wanted to join him before. The master and the relatives have not seen each other for a long time, and the two chatted for a long time. , and this delayed it.”

This book was considered a happy event, but after Zhang's family listened to it, no one smiled, but all of them looked sad.

The Zhou family is a woman and Taoist family, so naturally they have something to say, after hearing this, they frowned and said: "Did the master say anything?"

"After the master met his relatives, we separated. Zhuzi and I went to find a shop, and he stayed to talk to relatives. Later, when we went to pick him up, we were very happy to see him, but we didn't hear him talk about it. What." Zhang Zhang and the others, apart from being happy for the master, are also a little worried, but it's not easy to ask this kind of matter face to face, after all, the master is an elder, and the younger generation should not interfere in his private affairs.

"He went to relatives and couldn't find him, and his leg was injured again, so he stayed with us to teach. Now that he finds relatives, will he leave?" Mrs. Zhou became more and more worried, thinking that Master Wu was here with no relatives. Well, Shu Xiu was also confiscated from teaching, so there was no reason why he had to stay. Instead, it was a relative's house.

In fact, this is what everyone is worried about. After being asked by Mrs. Zhou, Zhang's family lost their appetite, and after a while, Zhang Zhang said: "Master has always said that he wants to repay our village, so I don't think he will just leave like this. Zhang Zhang was also very uncertain about what he said, but before the master himself said that he was going to leave, everyone could only hope so.

After so many years, Tuntian Village has finally found a teacher who is willing to stay and teach, and has built a school. Everyone thinks that the village will be able to produce scholars in the future. The kind of anticipation is not enough, but this is good. The days of anticipation have only been lived for a few days, and we are faced with disappointment again.

The story of Mrs. Wu quickly spread in the village, and everyone in the village felt worried. One or two of them were all thinking about it, but it was not easy to ask in person. Everyone wanted Mrs. Wu to stay, but no one Willing to force him, in this case, it is a dilemma.

After two days like this, the villagers couldn't hold back any longer, and they looked for someone to interrogate, and that was Dr. Lin. Unfortunately, Dr. Lin went to another village for a visit and would not be back for a few days, so everyone had to settle for the next best thing. Hong Cheng went to help and inquire about the tone.

With the expectation of the whole village, Hong Cheng went to the school with a heavy heart, ready to inquire about this matter.
