The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 114 The Second Uncle

Hongji put the sawn wood in a bag and carried the bag to the room. The guard was not there at this time, so he just put these things into the room.

What he thought about was whether he needed his daughter's help to draw a wooden head. He thought that the wooden heads painted by his daughter were all drawn with charcoal, and his daughter would get dirty hands when holding the charcoal.

Hongji thought of a way. If he used a brush to paint wood, it would be no problem for his daughter to hold a brush. If he could use charcoal to make a brush, or make a lot of brushes, his daughter could draw, and other daughters could follow suit. Come to read.

With this idea, Acer put the sawn wood in the room and started making charcoal pencils.

"Father, grandpa washes his hands and eats!" Da Ya told them to eat after cooking.

"Oh, I see."

Acer just made a pen this time, put the pen back in the room and put it on the table to wash hands.

"Well, what is this?" Siwa picked up the things her father had made.

Ye Shiqi blinked, isn't this a round pen for painting?
This father is so talented that he can make a charcoal pen with charcoal. With this pen, it is faster and more efficient to draw wooden heads.

Da Ya and her two younger sisters came into the room with cooked rice and ate with the younger sisters.

"Don't take daddy's things, Siba, wash your hands and eat quickly."

"Oh"

Da Ya also carried the youngest sister to wash her hands.

The five sisters ate in the room. Big Y didn't want to feed the youngest sister anymore. He just needed to put a stool for her to sit in front of the table, put the bowl and spoon on the table, and Ye Shiqi could eat by herself with the spoon.

Ye Shiqi looked at her bowl, put a little oil and salt to eat the oil and salt rice.

The sisters’ bowl of rice didn’t contain oil or salt, and there was salted and dried radish bought by grandma. When cooking, the salted radish was steamed until it was soft and soft. There was only one dish in a bowl of rice.

Maybe the cooked rice is delicious, and the children can eat happily and be full.

Ye Shiqi knows that these rice are fragrant rice produced in her space, and she pours the spiritual water of the space, and the rice produced is fragrant and delicious, not to mention that they just eat dried salted radish, maybe they will be very happy just eating dry rice eat.

Da Ya and her younger sister were full. She stacked up all the dishes and was about to wash them. When she saw her father walk into the room from the kitchen, she said to her father:

"Daddy, put your things away, and don't let Siwa break them."

Hongji understood what Da Ya was referring to, and said to his eldest daughter with an indifferent expression:

"It's okay. Daddy made it for your five children to play with. When Daddy is free, he will make a few more pens for you to use to learn to write."

"Oh, Dad, we don't have any paper, and we can't doodle on the walls, so let's forget about our literacy? Not many girls in our village can do it."

The eldest daughter's words and attitude made Hongji not very happy. How can his daughter compare with the girls in the village?

Even if it is a girl, they are still his darlings. When they have the ability and time, I hope they can read some words.

"Big girl, you are the eldest sister, you should be eager to learn, as long as you know a few more words, you can teach your younger sisters, and your father will not always be a farmer. When you grow up, maybe you will become rich. Miss, it will be too late to learn to read by then."

"Oh, Daddy, my daughter understands."

After listening to the eldest daughter's assurance, Hongji told the other daughters not to go to the thatched cottage to carve at noon today.

Hongji is full of food and is not idle. With so much wood, he has to work overtime to secure wood.

Hongji's father also helped with work. Not long after their lunch, the guards came back from dinner and saw that the little boss was already working, so they followed suit.

In the afternoon, guests came to their yard.

Ye Shuzhi and Ye Shuzhen were looking at the thatched house from the window. What they were looking at was not their father and elder brother working, but the two young guards, tall and handsome. Looking at them madly.

Ye Shuzhi looked at one of the guards. It was not the first time that this guard had come to their house. Every time he saw his tall and handsome face, he would look at him infatuatedly, imagining that if her husband had such a figure, Look, that would be great.

Ye Shuzhen looked at the figure of the guard, but she actually had other thoughts in her mind, of course she hoped that his future husband would also be handsome and graceful.

"Second sister, isn't that your future husband? My future second brother-in-law is here!"

When Ye Shuzhen saw the people entering their yard, they came in with an ox cart. This future second brother-in-law, who had only appeared since the day they got engaged, didn't look very good. The owner of the small shop couldn't ride a horse or a carriage.

The arrival of the future second son-in-law, Lai saw him, walked out of the room, and said to the second son-in-law with a smile:

"Xianggui, why are you free?"

"Mother-in-law, I have something to do today. I told my father and brother that I will come here without eating."

Zhong Xianggui, the future son-in-law, did not come empty-handed, with a door-to-door gift in his hand.

"Hehe, sit over there. I'll let my second daughter come and talk to you."

Holding Zhong Xianggui's gift in his hand, Mrs. Lai wrinkled his fat face and smiled, his eyes became slits.

"Oh, mother-in-law, I want to talk to my father and brother."

"Okay, is there anything to discuss with them?"

When Zhong Xianggui arrived, even though Hongji and his father were busy, he came and wanted to talk to them, they stopped what they were doing, washed their hands and sat aside.

Hongji's father took this opportunity to eat bamboo cigarettes.

Hongji took a sip of tea and said to Zhong Xianggui: "Xianggui, what do you want us to do? Is it about the dowry gift of the second sister? This should be what your parents and the matchmaker said? A young man can't say this thing."

"Big brother, I didn't come here for this matter. I heard that big brother is about to become a small shop. Big brother, you also know that I run a small shop. If you buy in the kitchen in the future, we can cooperate."

Zhong Xianggui's family opened a small shop in the town. They didn't pay attention to the changes in the family before. They thought that even if they got rich, they would only do more woodwork, and they would not give more dowry to the wife.

But at noon, I found that a restaurant across the road from the shop actually had a lot of guests riding horses and carriages.

Their ears are bright, and they can hear the people who are eating across the road.

Then I saw two guards on horseback, dismounted and entered the restaurant again.

From their conversation, Zhong Xianggui and his parents heard that this was a member of the Tang family, the richest man in the county. Out of curiosity, he deliberately went to the carriage at the entrance of the hotel to inquire.

There were two carriages at the entrance of the restaurant, and two coachmen were looking at the horses and carriages, but they did not enter the restaurant to eat.

Zhong Xianggui gave the coachman two copper coins and asked where they were going and why they came.

The coachman felt that the news of the cooperation between the Tang family and the Ye family had spread, and telling this person was not considered a leak.

Getting two copper coins is a windfall, and I can buy him some dry tobacco to smoke.
