Peerless peasant girl

Chapter 17 My wish is that we will never be separated
Before closing the door and going home, Ti Xiaomo asked the three older brothers to pay the owner of the rented shop for ten days. Now that the business is good, who knows if others will take the idea of ​​renting their shop from the boss first if they are jealous. go.

Then I went to the grocery store and bought some saltpeter to take home.

The money earned today is twice as much as yesterday, and the adoration in the eyes of the three brothers along the way made Ti Xiaomo feel a little proud.

Ti Xiaomo patted his chest and said that he would find a way to make more money for his family in the future.

The three brothers also believed in it. At that time, they said that when Ti Xiaomo came back from the capital, he would learn to read and write with her, and he would become so smart in the future that he would earn money to support his family.

When the four of them returned home and handed over the money bag to Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Hu was also very surprised. They made popcorn and earned three taels of silver for these corns that sold for less than one hundred cash.

In a country like theirs, it would take three taels of silver for the whole family to do temporary work for three months, so how could she not be surprised.If things go on like this, they will be able to live a good life without having to do temporary work or farming.

"Xiao Mo, how did a child as young as you know how to make these things?" Hu looked at Xiao Mo suspiciously. The child used to be very smart, but he felt that he became smarter after being flooded. People are surprised.

"Mom, have you forgotten? I learned it from grandma's books. Didn't I read a lot?" Ever since I knew that Ti Xiaomo could read and write, Ti Xiaomo said whatever he had in mind. I saw it in a book, anyway, now that Mrs. Wang has passed away, it is impossible for them to go to Mrs. Wang to confirm, and there is no scholar in this large area of ​​the village, so Ti Xiaomo is even more confident.

"It turns out that reading is so useful. Then when our family has money, we will send all three of your older brothers to school." I didn't dare to think about going to school before because I needed to pay tuition and book fees to go to school, and I couldn't make money to support my family. Now Knowing how to make money, I can't wait to send my children to school immediately.

"Yes, when Xiao Mo earns more money in the future, I will send my brothers to school. There is no way out for farming at home." Ti Xiaomo agrees very much. Farming will not make a fortune until you die, and you can read and write in the future. Learn to do business.

"Mom! Is it true? We can also go to school?" Ti Xiaosong has always wanted to find his sister to learn how to read, and now he can go to school, so excited.

"It's fine, you three brothers are all going to school, and when Xiao Mo comes back from the capital, I will go buy popcorn with Xiao Mo, and you can concentrate on your studies." When Hu saw the innocent smiling faces of her three sons, she also agreed. Very happy.

……

After dinner at night, Ti Xiaomo asked the three brothers to come over and teach them how to make ice cubes with saltpeter.

First take two pots, one big and one small, fill the small pot with water and put it in the big pot, then fill the big pot with water, then put saltpeter in the big pot, and the water in the small pot will form in a short while. out of ice.

"It's that simple. After you learn not to tell others, you can just use it at home. And this saltpeter can be used repeatedly after being picked up and dried." Ice cubes are a treasure in this ancient time without air conditioners and electric fans. She still wants to use them in the future. There's a lot of money to be made out of ice, and it wouldn't be surprising if everyone knew about it.

The three brothers remembered that in the future they would ask the three brothers to use milk to make cream there, and they would watch from the sidelines, and when they were done with every step, they boiled the last pot of milk and shared it with everyone.

After everything was arranged, Ti Xiaomo proposed to watch the stars with the three brothers, and the three brothers readily agreed.

At home, I took a bed sheet and spread it on the pile of straw piled up at the entrance to the field. The four children lay side by side on it, and the two younger ones, Ti Xiaomo and Ti Xiaoxiang, lay in the middle.

"It's so beautiful to see the stars here, even more beautiful than the ones I've seen before." In the past, the bright starry sky was basically invisible when looking at the stars in modern times, because of the car exhaust, industrial waste gas and smog in big cities, Even looking at the stars seems a luxury.

"Is this star different from before? It was also like this before." Ti Xiaoyang said innocently.

"Really?" Ti Xiaomo didn't want to say more, so he quickly changed the subject. "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother's wish is to be a heroic general, what about you?"

"I want to learn how to do business, earn a lot of money for my parents and you to spend, and never be looked down upon or looked down upon by others." Ti Xiaosong said his wish very seriously, and Ti Xiaomo knew it What the shop assistant said yesterday hurt my elder brother.

Ti Xiaomo sighed and looked sideways at Ti Xiaosong. If this matter is not handled properly, Ti Xiaosong will definitely have serious self-pity, and even worse, she may go astray. The way to let Ti Xiaosong express his feelings.

"My wish is to be a high-ranking official. Unlike our magistrates, who only know how to bully the people, I want to be an upright official who makes decisions for the people." The second brother, who has always been very low-key, also expressed his wish. Mo finds it a bit unbelievable that the second elder brother usually doesn’t talk much, and the one time that left the deepest impression was when Xiao Mo asked Xiaobai to question why she did it after he went out to popcorn.It turned out that he still wanted to be an official in his mind.

"What is Xiao Mo's wish?" Ti Xiaomian asked.

The three brothers all turned their heads to look at Ti Xiaomo.

"My wish is to help my brother fulfill his wish, and then go home to be with your parents and you. We will never be separated." The brother mentioned by Ti Xiaomo refers to his own brother Wang Lingmo, who helped Wang Lingmo After being firmly seated as the head of the Wang family, she returned to this house and lived with these lovely brothers and her parents who loved her dearly.

The four brothers and sisters were lying on the haystack talking about their wishes, imagining what would happen in the future and what life would be like in the future. They had practiced a lot, and they were very excited.

Ti Fuan and Hu Shi stood at the door listening to the conversation of the four children, both of them had faint smiles on their faces, feeling that although such days were poor, they were very happy.

Ti Daoya also stood at his door listening to the children's conversation. He had doubts about his decision over the past 20 years. He wanted his children and grandchildren to live an ordinary life in this country, and he didn't want his children and grandchildren to become college students. He is afraid that the official will make a fortune.He has all the abilities but he is willing to stay in this small mountain village. At first he just wanted to protect the Wang family, but after he had a child, he dared not let others discover his identity.

He didn't expect that he counted his son's peaceful life in this small mountain village, but he didn't count his own grandson. Each of these children's wishes are so great. When they grow up, they definitely don't want to stay in this small mountain village like their father. Plant a field for a lifetime.
