How to become the richest man by farming

Chapter 7 Eggs One
Zhou Qiao glanced at him angrily, "I said, why are you so diligent in helping me wash the dishes today? You are asking me for something."

"Why... haven't I always been diligent?" Jiang Yang smiled, "I'm just curious. I saw that my sister-in-law made a bark book for Yunniang, and the words on it were all written by her with charcoal. She How can you recognize so many characters? And write so beautifully."

Hearing this, Zhou Qiao was also surprised, and then recalled it carefully.

"I didn't marry your second brother when my sister-in-law came home. I just heard that she escaped from the north, fainted from hunger in the mountains and asked your elder brother to carry her back, and then stayed to be your elder brother's wife. Then You are not young anymore, you should remember things, right?"

Jiang Yang scratched his head, "I was only six years old at the time, and I only remember that my sister-in-law was very good-looking and spoke very softly. It's a pity that my sister-in-law was always in poor health after she was pregnant with Yunniang. My mother was afraid that I would bump into my sister-in-law and wouldn't let me Go to sister-in-law."

"I do know this. It is said that I was starved to death when I was fleeing famine, and it was not very good when I gave birth to Yunniang. I narrowly saved my life, and this is the root cause of the disease. It has not been good." Zhou Qiao sighed.

Thinking of Liu Su's habit of keeping tidy at all times, and the relics left by her mother that she sold back then, Zhou Qiao guessed: "But your sister-in-law should have lived a good life at home before she fled the famine. She can read and write. , is still quite possible.”

Since Zhou Qiao married in, she has taken care of the children in the family, so she naturally knew Jiang Yang's thoughts, so she suggested: "I think she is much better today, if you want to read, you can ask yourself .”

"Really?" Jiang Yang's heart skipped a beat.

"Really, what's the matter if you go to ask? Could it be that she is not your sister-in-law because she can read and write? They are all a family. Look, you have been tweaked."

Jiang Yang chuckled twice and stopped talking.

In fact, when he was a child, he was still very willing to get close to his sister-in-law, but after she gave birth to Yunniang, although she still spoke softly and softly, for some reason, she always had a kind of aura that no one should enter, and now she found that she could read... Thinking of Mr. Su, who is also literate, Jiang Yang couldn't help but add two points of pressure.

Seeing him like that, Zhou Qiao wanted to persuade him again, but Jiang Yun poked his head out of the door.

After all, talking about others behind their backs, Zhou Qiao was always paying attention to the movement outside the door, so Jiang Yuncai was discovered as soon as he probed.

Looking at Jiang Yun's slender face and the cloth strips wrapped around his forehead, Zhou Qiao couldn't help feeling sorry for her, and said softly, "Mother Yun, why did you come to the kitchen? Are you not full? "

As soon as these words came out, the three people inside and outside sighed in their hearts: How can a bowl of wild vegetable porridge with only scattered rice grains be full?
But Jiang Yun is a sensible child, so she got into the kitchen, looked around, and said, "No, I'm full, I'm here to help Second Aunt with work..."

After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on the washed dishes and chopsticks in Jiang Yang's hands, "Fourth Uncle, let me put the dishes away for you!"

Jiang Yang:! ! !
Jiang Yang held the bowl in his hand, deftly avoided Jiang Yun, and put the bowl safely into the cupboard.

Jiang Yun, who had fled to nothing, snorted softly, and secretly decided to teach him one less word every day in the future.

Jiang Yang didn't understand her thoughts, but said to Jiang Yun with lingering fear: "Auntie, there are not many bowls at home for you to drop."

Remembering that he was a waste of help before, Jiang Yun pouted, then rolled his eyes, "Then let me check to see if you have washed it clean!"

As he spoke, he stepped on a small stool to open the upper shelf of the cupboard.

Zhou Qiao: "..."

Jiang Yang: "...the bowl is below."

Jiang Yun: "I know, I'll help Grandma check to see if there are any mice stealing food."

Jiang Yang: ... I think you are the big mouse.

Jiang Yang and Zhou Qiao looked at each other helplessly, but neither of them stopped Jiang Yun.

After all, apart from daily necessities, rice, oil, and salt, there were only two raw eggs left on the upper shelf of the cupboard, so I didn't have to eat them if I wanted to.

……

After the kitchen was cleaned up, Zhou Qiao habitually opened the cupboard to check the stock of daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, etc.

"Huh?" Did she read it wrong?
It just so happened that Mrs. Zhou came in at this time, and frowned when she heard her "Huh", "What? Is there something missing?"

Zhou Qiao shook her head, "Mom, did you pick up new eggs today?"

"The chickens didn't crow today, where did you get the eggs?" Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou felt anxious.People have nothing to eat, and chickens have nothing to eat. If things go on like this, the only hen in the family will have to be sold.

Kill and eat?That doesn't exist, what kind of family, killing chickens and eating them every year?The village head's family didn't dare to think so.

Just as Mrs. Zhou was thinking, she heard Zhou Qiao whispering there.

"Strange... I clearly remember that there were only two eggs, how did it become four? Could it be my eyesight?"

Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes when she heard the words, "Of course it's your eyesight! I just heard that someone's eggs are missing, how can there be more? Who is so kind to secretly stuff eggs into your cupboard? "

Of course it's me!Jiang Yun, who was hiding outside and eavesdropping, said in his heart.

……

The eggs at home are usually given to the youngest Jiang Yue first, basically eating one in two or three days, then Jiang Yueshui, who is weak, can eat one in three to five days, and then save two eggs in ten days and a half months. An egg, cook an egg soup to nourish the meat for a few older children.

Recently, because of Jiang Song's injury, the old lady Zhou took the initiative to cook the eggs saved by the family for Jiang Song's body. Not to mention the older children, even Jiang Yue hadn't eaten eggs for several days.

Jiang Yun thought in his mind: There are four eggs in the family today, one for Daddy, one for Yueniang, one for Yueshui, and the remaining one is just enough to cook wild vegetable egg soup.

Thinking of the slightly meaty egg drop soup, Jiang Yun, who only ate porridge with wild vegetables every day, couldn't help swallowing.

however……

At dinner, Jiang Yun looked at the familiar porridge with wild vegetables in front of him, and gave Zhou Qiao a resentful look.

Zhou Qiao and her looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and gave her another half spoonful of wild vegetable porridge.

Jiang Yun: ...

For several days in a row, they ate porridge with wild vegetables three times a day, and the family didn't even have the strength to speak.

After a meal, no one even spoke, only the sound of drinking porridge.

Different from the silence of Jiang's family, the dinner at Shen Xiazhi's family was much more lively.

"This Jiang Dasong has been sent back, can their family still pay back the money they borrowed from us?" Shen Xiazhi's mother, Mrs. Guo, said in amazement, that's the whole thing!

"It's all my money if you don't pay it back, so you don't need to worry about it." Mrs. Guo said angrily.

"Mother, look at what you said, I'm doing this for our family's good."

Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes and didn't answer her words. She picked up a chopstick and started eating the porridge.

Although the Shen family is not rich, they can still drink such thick white porridge after the typhoon disaster, and their life is much easier than most families in the village.

Mrs. Guo has long been used to the old lady Guo's attitude. After eating two mouthfuls of food, she said to herself, "If you want me to say, Aunt Zhou's family is so sad now, it's better to marry all the girls in the family to save money." Not to mention the rations, if you meet a good family, you might even get a couple of dowry money."

Mrs. Guo can't understand her, but when she thinks of the three girls in Mrs. Zhou's family...

Not to mention that Jiang Yue was too young, Jiang Miao was diligent and honest, and Jiang Yun was smart and sensible, so she was really moved.

Seeing her like that, Guo knew something was going on, so he hit the iron while the iron was hot: "If we say that Xia Zhi is ten years old in our family, it's just right to appoint a daughter-in-law to come back and raise her for two or three years before getting married?"

Mrs. Guo thought she had taken a fancy to Jiang Yun, so she glanced at her and reminded, "Jiang Yun will only be ten years old in two or three years."

"Jiang Yun is a little young, but Jiang Miao is not young! This year is twelve, and it is just right to get married in two or three years. If you are older, you will take care of others, right?" Guo said.

She didn't like Jiang Yun who would beat her son.

Mrs. Guo was also very satisfied with Jiang Miao, but Shen Xiazhi was not.

"I don't want Jiang Miao, I want Jiang Yun! She dared to hit me, and when she becomes my wife, I must take good care of her!"

When Mrs. Guo heard this, her face darkened immediately, "Who taught your daughter-in-law to beat you?!"

After saying this, Mrs. Guo subconsciously looked at her son who was eating silently.

Sensing her gaze, Shen Bainian slapped his chopsticks on the table.

Guo's body on the side trembled subconsciously, seeing Shen Bainian's slap towards her, she stiffened her body and did not dare to move.

With a crisp "pop", Shen Bainian scolded: "Every day, if you can't even teach a child well, you will make your mother angry."

Guo covered her face and begged again and again, "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry, I will teach him well in the future."

The big and small children at the dinner table were either scared or indifferent, but they were not surprised. They seemed to be used to this scene for a long time.

Shen Xiazhi saw his father getting angry, not only was he not afraid, but even more arrogant, "I don't care, I want Jiang Yun, I want her!"

Shen Baibain stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of pickled radish, chewed it crispy, and said casually: "That girl Jiang Yun has a big temper and many ideas, she just looks like she is not worrying, I think Jiang Miao is pretty good, she has a good temper and can manage the house , not bad looking."

As the head of the family, Shen Bainian made the decision directly, and no matter how much Shen Xiazhi had an opinion, he could only swallow it down.

"Mother, it just so happens that you take some eggs to visit Jiang Dasong tomorrow, and mention this to Aunt Zhou." Shen Bainian arranged indifferently, obviously not thinking that Mrs. Zhou would refuse such a good thing.

Mrs. Guo also thinks so. Not to mention the personal relationship between the two old ladies, but considering the current situation of Mrs. Zhou's family, marrying Jiang Miao to their family will not only reduce the burden, but also the debt owed to their family is just counted as a dowry, and it is also No need to pay it back, who would refuse to kill two birds with one stone?
