Prime Minister

Chapter 40 Frosting
Along the way, Zhang Yue called his uncle, aunt, Lang Jun, and his wife, and also took some dried fruits from the mountains and scattered some of them to the children.

"Thank you Saburo-kun!"

"Jun Saburo is so nice!"

"Hurry up and thank Saburo-kun!"

Talking and laughing while walking, Zhang Yue returned home, and when he passed by, he encountered a picker who sold cane syrup frosting.

You can't see this guy on weekdays, it's only available during the New Year's Day. There are many people watching the stall and few people buying it.

Many children were drooling when they saw this guy, crying and arguing that they wanted to buy candy with the adults in the family.However, many adults can only be cruel, and drag their children away.As for the children who were sold the candy, they licked their tongues triumphantly, and occasionally used them to show off.

When Zhang Yue saw this scene, he gritted his teeth and walked to the side where no one was around, took off the waistband of his pants, took out the money, bought some icing sugar and went home.

The house is still the same as before, with a simple fence gate, some firewood and sundries piled up, and a large urn dripping from the eaves.

Zhang Yue saw this big urn and thought of Sima Guanglai.It is said that Sima Guang smashed the tank. In fact, the tank in the Song Dynasty was only half a meter tall, so how could it flood people.After a closer look Song Shili really wrote the urn.

When the urn was closed, it opened its mouth. Zhang Yue approached and saw that the urn was full of water and raised several large grass carp, which were all Zhang Yue likes to eat on weekdays.

It's a pity that all the skill points in the previous life were on the delicious and lazy cooking, otherwise I would make a live boiled fish, pickled fish, etc., isn't it delicious?Traveling to the Song Dynasty can still make a fortune.

Zhang Yue shook his head, and in the future, he must write a book to admonish the younger generations who have passed through.

Don't look at the appearance of sitting as a keyboard warrior who knows astronomy and geography. At first glance, it is estimated that he can't even memorize the ratio of gunpowder.Unless you have to bring your own mother when you cross, then I didn't say it.

At the moment, Zhang Yue patted the door: "Brother and sister-in-law, Xi'er, I'm back!"

Boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Causing the neighbors to look around, that Saburo of the Zhang family is back!Before, I only knew how to eat and drink. Did I improve after reading books for half a year in the mountains?

I saw him talk to Zhao Yasi before, but it was measured. This kid may not have the promise of his second brother in reading, but he knows the world, and the road in the future will be wider than that of his second brother.

The Zhang family was a good family, but his second brother made it almost to the bone.It is really not easy for a family to suffer from poverty.

Zhang Yue knocked on the door for a long time, and Fang saw the elder sister-in-law came out to open the door.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that her hair was messy. In the past, when it was difficult at home, my sister-in-law was dressed in coarse cloth and hairpins, but she always dressed neatly and refused to lose the appearance of a daughter of a big family. Now, it's less than half a year. So haggard.

"What's wrong with my sister-in-law?"

Sister-in-law said apologetically, "Uncle went home so easily, but I didn't care. I'm really sorry."

"Sister-in-law, the family doesn't speak two languages, what's going on at home?"

Sister-in-law lowered her head and didn't answer, "Uncle, let's talk about it after entering the house."

After Zhang Yue entered the house, he found that the house was not as well-organized as before, and there was even some dust on the desk. In the past, my sister-in-law loved cleanliness, but it wasn't like that.

Zhang Yue pretended not to know, and unpacked his bag and said, "Sister-in-law, you see this is the mountain goods I brought from the mountains. This year, the weather in the mountains was not good, and the mountain people rushed to get rid of them, so they bought a lot."

"I'm also doing books for others now, and I earn some money a day. The Shuxiu from Guo Xuejiu also pays... Where's my brother? You're not at home, what about Axi?"

Hearing Zhang Yue calling out the word 'Axi', but hearing a wow cry sounded from upstairs.

"Axi?"

Zhang Yue glanced at his sister-in-law and hurried upstairs.

But I saw Xiao Zhangqiu standing there with his pants half off, with red stripes hanging from the back of his thighs.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue was both distressed and angry, so he hugged Zhangqiu and said, "Who hit you, Ah Xi, tell the third uncle, and the third uncle will teach you a lesson!"

"Third uncle, no...don't teach her a lesson." Zhangqiu said with a cry.

"Why?"

"Yes, mother, she hit me. Woohoo!"

When Zhang Yue heard the words, he glanced at the thorns on the side, and then asked Zhang Qiu, "Axi doesn't cry or cry, does it still hurt?"

"Pain." Zhangqiu sobbed.

"Don't cry, don't cry, the third uncle bought you delicious food. Will the third uncle carry you downstairs?"

"Okay, third uncle back."

Saying that, Zhang Yue wiped Zhangqiu's tears, and then carried Zhangqiu down the stairs.

Zhang Yue didn't know what to say when he saw that Yu was sitting at the table and wiping tears.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn, Zhang Yue deliberately smiled and said, "Axi, tell the third uncle, what do you want to eat during the Chinese New Year?"

Zhangqiu saw that Yu was a little afraid to speak, so he just shook his head.Zhang Yue said with a smile: "If you don't say it, then the third uncle guess, do you want to eat candy?"

Zhangqiu nodded, looked at Yu again and shook his head in fear: "Axi doesn't like candy?"

"Axi is wrong, you can't lie!"

"Axi didn't lie. If Axi eats candy, mother will not be happy." Zhangqiu said this, and then he burst into tears.

Zhang Yue quickly coaxed: "Axi doesn't cry, don't cry. The third uncle said to bring you delicious food, how could he lie to you."

After speaking, Zhang Yue took out a small packet of oiled paper from his pocket and opened it, "Axi, what do you think this is?"

"It's icing sugar!" Zhangqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, he was going to reach out to pick it up, but after thinking about it, he shrank back.

"Axi eat it! Third Uncle bought it for you."

Seeing this, Mr. Yu said, "Third Uncle, what are you doing with this money? Axi just made trouble with me because of this, and he has been used to it for so many years."

Zhang Yue thought so, so he said, "Sister-in-law, you can't blame Axi for this. In the past, our family used to buy candy for Axi during the Chinese New Year. This year is no exception."

"Looking at your pet, such a big spender is like your big brother. I really don't know what to say about you." Yu said with tears.

Zhang Yue said: "Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you that while studying in Wuxi, I would help others with books? Three and a half dollars a page, one or two hundred dollars a day..."

"So much money for the commission? More than your eldest brother." Yu was taken aback.

"It was also for a while. I gave Guo Xuejun's repair money for half a year. When I got home, I saw a picker on the way. I didn't have to buy it, but seeing that he only had some left, I bought it at a cheaper price."

After speaking, Zhang Yue stuffed the icing sugar into Zhang Qiu's hand, then put the rest of the money on the table and said, "Sister-in-law, this is what I earned. You can use it to supplement some household expenses first."

Yu didn't know what to say: "Uncle, keep some for yourself."

"How can I use the money in the mountains?" Zhang Yue said to Zhang Qiu with a smile, "What is Ah Xi looking at? Let's eat."

Zhangqiu looked at Yu's family with some worry, but Yu's family kept silent, and he didn't dare to eat.

Zhangqiu finally walked up to the Yu family holding the candy and said, "Mother eat some first, and when Xi'er makes money, I will buy it for my mother."

Yu hugged Zhangqiu and burst into tears: "Third uncle, Axi, it's not that I am usually cruel, but how can a poor family have a virtuous wife. Your elder brother lived a poor and generous life, if it wasn't for me to save him some money , then save some money, this family can't be a long time ago."

"Mother eats, mother doesn't cry." Zhangqiu cried.

Yu rubbed a little bit with his fingers and wiped it in his mouth, and then said to Zhangqiu, "This third uncle icing was bought for Axi. You will also honor your third uncle in the future, you know?"

"I know." Zhangqiu replied crisply.

"It's just icing sugar. Say this, Ah Xi, eat it quickly... The third uncle doesn't eat it, the third uncle has already eaten it." Zhang Yue said.

Zhangqiu nodded, stuck out his tongue and licked the icing on the paper, then closed his eyes, the corners of his eyes curled up in happiness.

"Mother, third uncle, this year's frosting is really sweet!" Zhangqiu said with a jump.

Hearing Zhangqiu's happy and childish tone, Zhang Yue and Yu Shi couldn't help but laugh.

"Uncle San next year, no, Uncle San will buy it for you every year!" Zhang Yue said solemnly.

"Thank you, Third Uncle!" Zhangqiu said again, "Can I finish eating him, Third Uncle?"

"Okay!"

Watching Zhangqiu lick the icing sugar little by little, the solemn atmosphere at home finally broke away.

Zhang Yue put the things brought from the mountains on the table, and Yu also talked about the family affairs.

At this time, the door was pushed open, but Zhang Shi's voice said outside: "Miss, Xi'er, I'm back, come and see what Daddy bought?"

Yu frowned and said, "Isn't it icing sugar?"

At this time, Zhang Shi had already entered the house, and after listening for a while, he said, "How does the lady know?"
