Chapter 45

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Zhou asked emotionally: "Old man, did Xiao Wu say when he will come back?"

"No, but if you marry a daughter-in-law, you won't mess around."

After drinking the wine in the cup in one gulp, the pungentness welled up in his throat, Meng Chengwen quickly ate a piece of vinegared cucumber, his wrinkled face was full of hope and anticipation.

Little Wu was rebellious and refused to obey discipline. From now on, he and the old woman can rest assured!

The delicious dinner ended with laughter, and Meng Tang, who is a good cook, succeeded in winning the hearts of the two elderly people with his good cooking skills.

At night in the countryside, the voices of gossip chatting can be heard, and the cadenced description makes people feel like they are on the scene.

The adults reunited and chatted together, the mischievous children walked here and there, and the dogs barked continuously for a while.

The night is filled with stars, and the clean night sky seems to be filled with infinite magic power, which is refreshing to see.

After a play, the children were reluctantly dragged home by their parents. After a while, the lively village seemed to be pressed to the pause button, quiet and peaceful.

The bright and clear moon hangs high on the branches, the light gray clouds move slowly, and the stars move, and there is a faint glow in the far east.

The warm summer sun shines on the bed, and under the double attack of the sun and mosquitoes, the children who are immersed in sleep gradually wake up.

Early in the morning, Meng Tang and Zhou Liang went to the east pond to catch a lot of aquatic plants with bamboo baskets on their backs.

Feeding the chickens and ducks is over, breakfast is ready, after breakfast, Meng Tang is thinking about where to go in the morning to "splash and roll", when she accidentally caught a glimpse of the green bill in her mother's hand, licked her lips and sat on the spot.

Hahahaha~
The sound of chewing is like a scalpel pressing on a nerve, which is annoying but has to sit still.

Meng Tang endured the thought of stabbing Meng Jie, clenched his fists breathlessly, and complained wildly in his heart, "A majestic man, dare you eat more slowly?"
"Sister, you don't want to herd sheep, why don't you leave? Don't wait for me, I want to eat another bowl later."

"..."

Brother, don't force her!

Hearing Meng Jie said that he wanted another bowl, Meng Tang's slender fingers creaked.

"Mom, you go to work on the ground first. After eating, I will clean the pot myself."

Looking at his blank-eyed son with distaste, and then at his impatient daughter, Li Guiying ordered loudly, "Don't eat now, I have something to say."

Hearing this, Meng Tang immediately sat upright, her big round eyes full of longing.

Become rich, she wants to become rich~
Li Guiying cleared her throat and announced loudly: "The quality of ginseng is very good. The village chief sold it for 200 yuan, divided equally according to the head, and each of you four has [-] yuan. Here, this is Xiaoliang's [-] yuan."

"Auntie, Tangtang and Xiaojie discovered ginseng, so it has nothing to do with me."

Li Guiying dissuaded her sternly: "Why is it okay? If you hadn't accompanied them, I would have allowed them to go up the mountain? Be good, keep the money, and wait for Qiuli to pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees."

Silly child, his parents are not here, he has no tricks, how can he marry a wife in the future?

After all the talk, Zhou Liang finally accepted the money, and Li Guiying pocketed the remaining 100 yuan with satisfaction.

Meng Tang looked at her mother's act of pretending to be money in shock, and pointed at herself dissatisfied: "Mom, where is my...?"

Meng Jie yelled, "I still have fifty."

"Mom will help you two take care of it first, and then pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees."

Hearing this, Meng Tang instantly cried and said, "Mom, the tuition and miscellaneous fees are not that much, how much can you give me?"

Keep it safe, keep it safe and you will lose a dime!
Woohoo, it's better not to tell her that the ginseng was sold for money, so that at least there is still hope.

"Without money, our family is so poor that we drink the northwest wind."

Meng Tang persevered and sold miserably: "Mom, digging ginseng has worn out my hands, so you're not willing to give it away?"

Meng Jie, who looked hopeless, received Meng Tang's signal gaze, and echoed, "That's right, if it wasn't for my sharp eyesight and quick hands, my sister would have been beaten by an ugly woman."

Li Guiying scrutinized Meng Tang, who had a pair of big eyes rolling around, then glanced at his stupid son, and asked tentatively, "You two want pocket money?"

Of these two children, one is too clever and the other is too naive, and I don't know who to follow!
"I think so. Mom, please be merciful and give us a few cents!"

Two days ago, she was grazing sheep in the field, and heard someone yelling for popsicles, which made her greedy.

Wouldn't it be fun to herd sheep in one hand and popsicles in the other in the hot summer?
Li Guiying called Xiaobaan full of calculations: "It is not impossible to give you pocket money, but you have to exchange it with grain. How about this, the peanuts in the village are almost exhausted, and you two take a small basket to pick peanuts in the field. Just pick up a blue peanut and give me a dime, okay?"

There is little land in the family, so they don't need their help, but they are too naughty, if they don't order a job, I'm afraid they will poke a hole in the sky!
A small basket of peanuts costs one dime, and one dime can buy two popsicles. If she can pick up six baskets of peanuts, she can achieve popsicle freedom.

Okay, this business seems to be doing well?
However, she has to make a counter-offer, and a business without a counter-offer has no life value!
Meng Tang licked her face and asked, "Mom, if we pick up a basket of corn or beans, can we exchange it for a dime?"

Looking at Guijing Guijing's daughter, Li Guiying refused righteously: "No, the corn is big and not worth much. It takes two baskets of corn to exchange for a dime."

"Can I advance two cents?"

Black-hearted mother: Before the work is done, I think about asking for money first. Is there something wrong with this child's brain?

Li Guiying nodded Meng Tang's head angrily, and cursed: "No way. Hey, you kid, where did you learn how to be clever?"

"Mom, I think..."

"Sister, you don't think it's useful, only our mother thinks it's useful. Besides, our mother is gone, what do you think? It's better to pick up peanuts on the ground with a small basket."

As soon as Zhou Liang put the money away, he saw the two brothers and sisters holding baskets and preparing to go out, so they quickly chased after them.

"I'll go with you."

Meng Tang made a heart shape with both hands, and sang cheerfully: "Brother Liang, you are definitely the kindest person in the world, thank you, you have warmed the four seasons..."

"Meng Tang, sing one more sentence and blow your head off."

The brother's bloody threat broke the brewing affection, and Meng Tang complained unhappily: "It's boring, not humorous at all. Brother, it's a very correct decision for the little fairy not to like you."

Meng Jie murmured with red earlobes: "Who wants her to like it? It has nothing to do with me whether she likes it or not. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't take you to play with me next time."

"Hee hee hee····"

It was nonsense, but seeing Meng Jie's blushing cheeks and shy expression, Meng Tang couldn't help laughing.

To say that it was still a poor age, the depth of feelings cannot be measured by money, but it is a pity that there is no smart phone now, otherwise I could record my brother's shameful face and humiliate him in the future.

There were laughter and laughter along the way, and it was very lively, and the team of picking peanuts gradually expanded.

The scorching earth burned the soul, and the five children were digging the peanuts hidden in the soil with small shovels. Suddenly, Song Yu yelled...

 When I was young, I actually liked picking peanuts from the ground, because I would have money.

  Eating a popsicle when I was a child can be said to be the greatest happiness in life. Until now, I still think it is a beautiful moment in life!

  Missing the breath of youth...
