Everyone didn't know what happened, so they all ran over there.
Before the mule cart could stop, it was surrounded by people.
"Mom!" Jiayin was already feeling drowsy due to the heat, but when she suddenly saw my mother, she rushed over to her.
Tao Hongying hugged her heavy daughter, and seeing the old lady smiling, she finally felt at ease.
"Mom, why have you been gone for so long? If you don't come back, my fourth brother will be looking for you."
Mrs. Li got off the mule cart and said with a smile, "Things went well, so I stayed one more day to help your third sister-in-law and the others. ."
Before Tao Hongying could ask, no one saw Zhao Yuru and Jia Huan, so they asked, "Where did the third daughter-in-law go and why didn't she come back?"
"Yes, there is also Jia Huan. He is usually taciturn. , but the work is very quick. We have been away for the past two days, and it was not smooth for us to help Hongying."
Mrs. Li didn't want to hide it from everyone. After all, they all lived in the same village and made a living together, so she couldn't hide it. live.
She smiled and said, "Jiaren's academy is too far away, and my family is worried that something might happen and I can't take care of it. It happens that there is a snack shop opposite the academy. In the future, I will let Lao San and his family go over and sell some steamed buns and dumplings to make a living. It is also convenient." Take care of Jiaren."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned to envy and admiration.
No wonder the Li family is living a good life, Mrs. Li, the head of the family, also has a very fast mind.
They were still glad that their lives were stable, and they bought meat-wrapped dumplings with some wages. Others went directly to shop and do business.
"Auntie, you are really good at living."
"This is great, Jiaren is very happy."
Mrs. Li waved her hand, "I just spoil my children too much and can't bear to let my children be helpless outside."
Aunt Wu Sanzi My heart felt so cold. The Li family went to open a shop, so there was no need to send book boys to take care of Jiaren.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li took her hand and said, "His third aunt, you go back and pack Gou Sheng'er's luggage, and let Gou Sheng'er go to the academy with Lao San later. Jiaren's academy is big and there is no one to help. It's really inconvenient. I'll just count on Gou Sheng'er to help Jiaren from now on."
This is really another village with a bright future, and Aunt Wu was so happy that she couldn't find her words.
She responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll go back now, I'll go back right away!"
Old Mrs. Li said, "From now on, Gou Sheng'er will stay with Jiaren for food and accommodation, and our family will give her another 200 yuan for pocket money every month. " Do you think money is worth it? If you have nothing to do, do you think Gou Sheng'er can live in the academy for a few days? The backyard of our shop is very spacious. You can go out to the academy for lunch and dinner, and it's convenient to meet up."
Aunt Wu San almost gave up. Their heads were like chickens pecking at the rice, "Okay, okay!"
Everyone in the family, who was half a boy, gritted his teeth with regret.
Why didn't they know that Jiaren wanted to find a book boy? Otherwise, they would have let the children at home also compete. That's an academy. I wish I had a dog that could recite poems.
As long as you send your children in and learn some skills, it will be enough for them to settle down in the future.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything.
Li Laosan went home to pick up his luggage and supplies, and took along Uncle Wu and Auntie Wu who had come back after hearing the news.
After all, the couple was worried and wanted to send their son with them.
The Li family is also happy. It just so happens that when they come back tomorrow, they can help drive the mule cart back.
After seeing them off, Mrs. Li took her granddaughter on her back and walked around the house several times. She felt relieved when she saw that everything was as usual.
After hearing the news, Li Laosi and Li Laoer came back to see their mother and Jiayin, chatted a few words, had dinner with the old lady, and then continued their work.
The old lady was a little tired and hugged her granddaughter for a nap.
As a result, the good news didn't come back for a few days, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. I heard grandma snoring, so I climbed off the kang and ran out for a walk.
Before she left the gate, she met Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui had wanted to come over for a long time, but Liu Zhiheng's wife came to sit down in the morning and had just returned from lunch.
Jiayin hugged Mrs. Cui's thigh and shouted happily, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, Fu Niu misses you so much!"
Mrs. Cui's heart was sweet, she hugged the chubby girl, kissed her several times, and then asked , "You have been gone for several days, and my aunt misses you. Where is your grandma?"
"Grandma is sleeping. Fu Niu can't sleep, so she is looking for her to play with her aunt." Jiayin put her arms around Mrs. Cui's neck, smiling eyes. Narrowed into a crescent moon, extremely cute.
Mrs. Cui couldn't help but kissed her fat cheek again, turned around and gave instructions to Sister-in-law Qiong.
"You stay here and watch. When the old lady wakes up, tell her not to worry."
Sister-in-law Qiong agreed, and Mrs. Cui hugged Jiayin and went out for a walk.
The valley was so lively that Mrs. Cui wasn't used to it, so she simply carried Jiayin and walked to the fields.
The weather was hot and the sun was shining brightly. After a while, both the adults and children were sweating.
The village chief was sitting in a thatched shed in the melon field. When he saw it from a distance, he quickly took it over.
"How did you come here on such a hot day?"
Mrs. Cui also regretted it and said with a wry smile, "I only thought about the peace and quiet here, but I forgot about the sun."
The village chief took the good news and handed the cattail leaf fan to him . Mrs. Cui blocked the sun, and the three of them ran into the shack.
The shack only had two sides, so it was a good place for shade and ventilation.
The village chief smiled and said, "Madam, if you don't come, I have to find someone to invite you. The cold melons and cantaloupes in this field are all valuable things that Mr. Ye found. We have never eaten them. It's hard to grow them." To this day, I still have a lot of melons, but I don't know which ones are considered ripe."
Jiayin was so excited that she wanted to stick out her tongue, but after hearing these words, she immediately raised her head.
Counting the days, it will be July soon. It is also the time when the watermelons and cantaloupes from the previous life are opened and sold in large quantities.
Recently, my uncle and my eldest brother went to the academy to meet each other, and they opened a shop. They were so busy that they neglected the melon field.
She quickly jumped off the wooden bed covered with hay and ran into the melon field.
The village chief and Mrs. Cui were afraid that she would trip and fall, so they quickly followed behind.
"Fu Niu, run slowly, don't fall."
Jiayin turned around and waved to them. It turned out that a field mouse was hiding under the melon vine, trying to eat the cantaloupe secretly.
Jiayin grabbed a piece of trash and threw it over. Unfortunately, her little chubby hands didn't have much strength, so the trash missed it. Fortunately, the field mouse was also scared away.
She quickly ran over and squatted next to the cantaloupe.
This melon is a kind of melon that was often grown in my hometown in my previous life. It has a golden skin with light white stripes and looks very good.
A cantaloupe is about the size of a woman's hand, oval in shape, and pleasing to the eye.
The cantaloupe that was favored by the field mouse was darker in color, with a smooth skin and no burrs, a deep navel, and the base of the melon fell off when touched, so it was obviously ripe.
Jiayin smiled and held it up to the village chief. The village chief looked around and figured out some experience.
"Is this melon ripe? It's easy to tell."
He ran back to the shack, found water hyacinth, and cleaned the cantaloupe.
Mrs. Cui also quickly pulled Jiayin and washed her hands. She was actually fighting for food with the field mice. It was really dirty.
The village chief took a breath and smashed open the cantaloupe with his fist.
An indescribable sweet smell spread out immediately.
