I become a sage by eating books

Chapter 9

Deng shi gave him a blank look, and would boo.

"An'er discovered a kind of medicinal material on the mountain today, called yam. Yam is very precious and can be exchanged for money, so all of you should strictly control your mouth and not reveal a word to outsiders. Do you understand?"

When Miao Cuihua heard the money, her eyes lit up: "Mother, are you telling the truth? Can you really exchange money?"

"Of course it's true. I can still lie to you. Mrs. Miao, you're the only one who talks a lot on weekdays. If you dare to reveal a word, I'll see if I won't tear you apart."

Although Miao Cuihua didn't have much insight, she knew the importance of the matter. "Don't dare, dare not, I must keep my mouth shut, tight!"

"Mr. Hu, Erlang's temper is rather evasive. Show him to me."

Hu Lianhua glanced at her husband, and understood that her mother's worry was right. "It's mother, I must keep an eye on Erlang!"

Ning Lei was dissatisfied with Deng's instructions to him, but he was very curious about the yam. "Mom, why are you worried about me! Where is the yam? Quickly take it out and show us!"

"As long as you are in a hurry, look, this is yam, it was An'er and the others who dug it back from the mountain."

Everyone surrounded the past.Ning Lei: "This is yam, and there is nothing special about it!"

"What do you know? With your brain, you don't know even if a personal ginseng is in front of you. I, An'er, are the best!"

Ning An coughed twice and said, "It's my mother who taught me well. If my mother didn't send me to the academy, the child wouldn't know me."

"My son knows how to be humble. It's very good. I'm happy to be a mother. Your elder brother and second brother are also literate, but in the end they don't know anything except digging!"

Ning Yong and Ning Lei were not angry at all when Deng Shi boasted that Ning An was sensible, and they were happier than anyone else when their younger brother became sensible.

Ning Yong chuckled: "What mother said is that the son is stupid and not as smart as Goro, and Goro is as smart as mother."

Ning Hai slapped Ning Yong on the head, "You mean, you are not smart like me?"

"Father, my son has no intention of buying it!"

Ning An looked at the family enjoying themselves happily, and felt sweet in his heart.

"Mother, there are many more on the mountain, we only dug a small piece, the rest has to be worked hard, everyone will go again at night!"

Hearing Ning An's words, even Mrs. Deng couldn't hide the joy in her heart. "What? There are many more! Ann, is what you said true?"

At this time Ning Tianshuang said in a childish voice: "It's a real grandma, there is a big piece!"

Everyone's faces are very excited, it's so big, it's so big, hahahaha, their family is going to get rich.

"An'er, you don't want to go at night, just let Xueer lead the way. You are still very weak now, so you can rest at home at night!"

"Old man, after dinner, you can go to Lao Wang's house and rent their ox cart. If they ask, you can send An'er to the county to see a doctor. Don't say anything!"

Ning Hai glanced at his daughter-in-law, why is she always worried about him. "Understood, it's up to you to say."

At this time, Ning Tianshuang, the youngest, said: "Grandma, uncle said that this yam is edible, can we get some to eat first, Shuang'er is so hungry!"

Deng Shi looked at her youngest granddaughter with a loving face. Deng Shi is not a patriarchal person. Except for Ning An, she can be said to be a bowl of water. "Okay, okay, listen to our Shuang'er! Grandma will do it now, and she will definitely feed us little Shuang'er when the time comes."

"Miao and Hu take some out, everyone has a full meal and good work in the evening!"

Miao and Hu were overjoyed. Since Goro went to school, their family hadn't eaten baofan for a long time. "Got it, mother!"

Ning An stopped them: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you must wrap your hands with cloth when handling yams. The yam skin will make people's arms itchy, so be careful!"

Miao Cuihua's hand holding the yam paused for a moment, then stopped in mid-air, and then Hu said, "Thank you Wulang for reminding us, we understand."

Deng looked at the two and shook his head. They were both daughters-in-law, how could there be such a big gap!Mrs. Hu is not only outstanding in appearance, but also gentle and docile, unlike Mrs. Miao who is vulgar and caressing.

Soon the rice was ready, a bowl of porridge, a bowl of cabbage, a bowl of pickles, and a big bowl of yam.Mrs. Deng said, "Let's eat!" Everyone rushed to pick up the pot of yam.The yam is boiled in white water, with only a little oil and a small amount of salt added. Everyone can't wait to put it in their mouths. It tastes good and has a little sweetness. It is suitable for all ages.Everyone was satisfied with this meal.

After dinner, Mrs. Deng took the women to embroider in the room, the children played in the yard, and Ning Hai took Ning Yong and Ning Lei to weave bamboo baskets.Ning An knocked on Deng's door, "Mother, are you there? An'er has something to ask you!"

"Mother will come out immediately."

Ning An remembered the ten-day agreement with Guanshi Xu, so she came to Mrs. Deng to ask for mung beans. "Mom, do you have mung beans at home? Can you give some to Ann?"

Generally speaking, Mrs. Deng would not refuse Ning An's request, let alone such a trivial matter as mung beans. "Yes, mother will get it for you."

"Thank you ma'am."

"You child, where do you get so much courtesy, it's so out of the ordinary."

Ning An mischievously smiled: "What mother said is that An'er has been taught." Deng Shi was amused by Ning An, this child is still so naughty.

The family looked forward and hoped, and finally looked forward to the dark.Taking advantage of the moonlight, the family quietly went up the mountain, only Ning An and Ning Tianshuang stayed at home.When they arrived on the mountain, everyone was shocked. It turned out that this is the yam vine. God, what have they missed all these years.Looking at the piece of yam in front of them, everyone dug vigorously, and when they dug it all home, they weighed [-] catties, oh my god, [-] catties.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, except for the youngest Ning Tianshuang, almost no one could sleep.Ning Hai tossed and turned in bed, Deng said, "Old man, what are you doing?"

"Yumei, do you think this yam can be sold?"

"Of course it can be sold, I've seen it on the doctor's list before!"

Ning Hai was still a little unsure and asked again, "Is that true?"

"Why lie to you! Stay away from me." Deng leaned in again, and Ning Hai leaned in again.

"Hahaha, then I can rest assured!"

After a while, Ning Hai said again: "Do you think Wulang really saw this yam in a book? Why did so many scholars let him see it without reading it? He went up the mountain inexplicably today, as if he was looking for something. Yu Mei, I think there is something wrong with Goro."

Mrs. Deng was very surprised. She didn't expect the old man to think of this. It's not bad, there is progress. "What could be the problem?"

"It's just that there is a problem. Ever since Guanshi Xu came, I have felt that there is something wrong with Goro! Yumei is so smart, she should have discovered it long ago!"

Mrs. Deng looked smug, "I can't find out what you can find out!" Then, Mrs. Deng leaned over and whispered something in Ning Hai's ear.

Hearing Deng's words, Ning Hai was very shocked. "Yumei, is what you said true? This kind of thing is no joke!"

"Are you kidding! What I saw with my own eyes, can it be true? Old man, should you remember the words of the lunatic Taoist who was born in An'er?"
