Chapter 18 Grab the credit!
After returning home, Cheng Miaomiao's excitement did not subside.

On the contrary, Zhu Zhu, who had been silent and awkward all the way, suddenly cheered up. He ran quickly to the kitchen and shouted loudly: "Grandma, we are back! I picked up eggs on the mountain and bought tofu!"

"Yo, my good grandson is really amazing!"

Granny Zhao's happy voice came from the kitchen far away.

Cheng Miaomiao opened her eyes in amazement, watching Zhuzi running fast with her exclusive small pan on her back, put down the pan at the kitchen door, and then took out the eggs inside as if offering a treasure.

This is clearly what they found together!

No wonder Zhuzi insisted on carrying a small basket along the way!
He wants to take the credit!
Cheng Miaomiao was so angry that she puffed up her cheeks, and rushed over to explain without even thinking about it, but when she was about to speak, someone covered her mouth. She looked up and found that it was Aunt: "Oh! Uuh, Auntie... "

Ye Ning shook his head at her and said in a low voice, "Let him go."

Cheng Miaomiao wanted to find someone to support her, so she quickly turned to look at her elder sister and elder brother, and found that they had no intention of explaining, why?

At this time, Mrs. Zhao suddenly heard an exclamation.

"This egg looks unusual. My own old hen can't lay this kind of egg."

"That's right, grandma, didn't you see that those chickens run so fast that they can't even catch up with them. This egg must be delicious!"

Cheng Miaomiao pursed her mouth, the second and third brothers are chasing the chicken, so you will hide, what do you know.

Da Ya and the others also had unchanging expressions on their faces.

Ye Ning led them to wash their hands, and then took out the medicinal materials and wild vegetables in the basket and put them away separately. Today, she found a bunch of wild grapes near the rock wall on the mountain, and she only picked a small half of the box.

Each grape is purple to black, round and round like a pearl, and it looks extremely delicious.

Ye Ning washed a small bunch and gave each child a few.

He stretched out his hand to touch Cheng Miaomiao's head again, and seeing her pouting, Gao Gao couldn't help feeling amused, and asked, "It's okay, anyway, it's just this time, a long memory will be fine. Next time, I will hand over the small backpack to someone else to carry it." ?"

Cheng Miaomiao opened her eyes wide and shook her head vigorously.

She thought for a while and then added: "You can't recite it for Zhuzi, but you can recite it for elder sister and second brother, take turns!"

It contains all the things they picked together, one person can't carry it, and they can take turns to carry it.

There was a little smile in Ye Ning's eyes.

When they were done here, Mrs. Qian walked over like a stroll, her eyes lit up when she saw the wild grapes, she reached out and took a bunch, and said with a smile: "My brother and sister have a good harvest today, the wild grapes grow so well really not bad."

As he said that, he took one off and threw it into his mouth, but his face was wrinkled by the soreness immediately, and he hurriedly pooh-pooh-pooh.

"Hey, why are these grapes so sour!"

The acid is a bit sour, but taking it out can save some face.

Qian's eyes rolled around, and he said with a little heart: "I didn't say, brother and sister, you can dig something every time you go up the mountain this time, so you can take me with you next time?"

"Okay, if sister-in-law wants to go, you can come with me tomorrow."

Ye Ning agreed casually, handed her the tofu at hand, and said: "Sister-in-law, I still have some things to get out of here, you can take this tofu to mother."

Mrs. Qian left happily.

Cheng Miaomiao was a little puzzled, and leaned on her lap and raised her face and asked, "Why did Auntie do this?"

Ye Ning scratched the tip of her nose casually, and said with a smile: "Children should take care of adults' affairs. You will know later. Now we should go to have breakfast."

"Oh, all right then."

Cheng Miaomiao suddenly felt that being an adult was exhausting.

Not long after, Old Man Cheng and the others who had gone to the fields early also came back with their hoes on their shoulders. Today's breakfast was the same as before. Every child's bowl was filled with rice soup with only a few grains of rice floating in it.

But it's a little different.

Zhu Zi's bowl was full of rice this time, he took a bite of the vegetable cake, and then buried himself in his meal.

Seeing such an assignment, old man Cheng was a little puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"

The old lady Zhao said triumphantly: "Today, Zhuzi went up the mountain to pick up a nest of eggs! He also went to the east of the village and bought us two pieces of tofu. He can make money for the family at such a young age. Do you want to feed him?"

The Cheng brothers were a little surprised.

Isn't it always Aning and the others who go up the mountain at home?Cheng Erlang was confused, and immediately turned his head to look at Ye Ning, and saw her slightly shaking her head, signaling him not to speak too much.

Mrs. Qian also chimed in, with a smile on her face: "I didn't expect Zhuzi to be so lucky that he could pick up eggs for the first time up the mountain!"

"Zhuzi should be sensible at his age."

Old man Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

The whole family praised Zhuzi's luck one after another, but no one mentioned Ye Ning and the children who went up the mountain with him.

Cheng Miaomiao pointed her butt at them and sipped the porridge.

A map of Xiaohuaishan appeared in front of her eyes. The whole map was basically dark, with only a small area lit up, which was the place she had been to.This is the reward given by the illustrated book after she has collected a hundred creatures.

And now on the map, there is a place with a faint golden light.

Cheng Miaomiao reached out and clicked, and the appearance there appeared in the air. It was the place where the chick cub was met this morning. At this moment, a golden pheasant with a long tail appeared there.

A group of bright yellow chicks surrounded it, chirping and complaining.

Finding that all the eggs he had laid were gone, the golden pheasant clucked angrily, its black peas eyes were full of anger, it flapped its wings and carried the remaining chicks on its body, and left quickly.

The golden pheasant was so fast that it disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

After that there must be no eggs to pick up.

Cheng Miaomiao regretfully put away the illustration book.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao's harsh voice sounded again: "The matter about the eggs is over, Erlang's daughter-in-law, please tell me how it is to pick herbs and sell them for money at Dr. Zeng's."

It sounds menacing, as if asking for a crime.

Picking herbs for money?
Is there such a good thing?

Everyone else at the dinner table didn't react, they all looked at Ye Ning.

Ye Ning was stunned for a moment, and explained the matter as expected, and said: "I think Dr. Zeng was just joking, and Miaomiao can let her know any herbs. I didn't expect that she and the big girl Maodan picked them. A few catties are really usable herbal medicines, and this is only exchanged for fifteen Wen."

"Fifteen Wen, that's a lot!"

Qian Shi was so shocked that he almost cried out.

Da Ya and Mao Dan sat on the low stool nervously, not daring to look at her.

Ye Ning said: "This Qian Miaomiao and the others each have three coins, and then Doctor Zeng said that there is no shortage of that kind of herbal medicine, that's what happened."

The brothers of the Cheng family were very surprised. They didn't expect to earn so much money just by picking herbs for a few days.

Mrs. Zhao looked at her coldly and scolded:

"Since there is such a thing, why didn't you tell us earlier? If Zhuzi hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known about it. You are deliberately hiding money from us and not handing it over, right?!"
