Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 10 Back to the Door
Just after dawn, two figures appeared on the mountain path. They were Chang Pingning who was going back home, and Guo Bomo who was accompanying her back home.

Guo Bomo was carrying a bucket of marine fish and seafood, and Chang Pingning was carrying the pork belly and two ounces of wine that Ye Xiuying bought in the town yesterday.

When Chang Pingning saw the wine and meat bought by her mother-in-law in the town the day before, she thought she had made money from the seafood that day and bought them back to improve the food for the Guo family.Unexpectedly, before she and Guo Bomo went out today, Ye Xiuying asked them to bring the gifts they had bought.

Chang Pingning was surprised at the time. In the previous life, Dong's mother guarded her against taking things from her usual home, but Ye Xiuying was completely opposite.Chang Pingning thought to herself that she must honor her mother-in-law well in the future.

Guojiacun and Quyuan Village, where the Chang family is located, are separated by a mountain. Chang Pingning and Guo Bomo walked for a long time to reach the Chang family.

As soon as Chang Pingning walked into the Chang family yard, he saw his father and brother carrying hoes and preparing to go to the fields.When her father saw her, he said, "Why are you here so early?" but there was a clear smile in his eyes.

After hearing this, Chang Pingning and Guo Bomo smiled and exchanged a few words with their father and elder brother.Guo Bomo handed the wine, meat and seafood he brought to his father-in-law, Chang Jinsheng.

Chang's mother He Guangfen heard the noise in the yard and walked out of the kitchen. When she saw her daughter and son-in-law, she smiled happily and took her two children to the main room to sit and talk.

Chang Pingning followed her mother into the house and saw Guo Bomo talking to his father and brother. It sounded like he was planning to go to the fields to help.Chang Pingning laughed and teased him, not only could he fish in the sea, but he could also farm.

Chang Jinsheng was very satisfied with his son-in-law who took the initiative to find work when he came to the house. However, there was not much work in the fields. He and his son thought that there would be distinguished guests at home today, so they went to the fields in advance to have a look and they would be back soon.

Hearing the news of Chang Pingning returning home, the Chang family yard quickly became lively.Chang Pingning's sister-in-law and sister came out of the back room to talk to Chang Pingning.Guo Bomo was left alone chopping firewood in Chang's courtyard.

Chang Pingning noticed Guo Bomo who was alone in the yard, and then realized why he took the initiative to follow his father and brother to work in the fields.

Sister-in-law He Jiaojiao and sister Chang Pingyan also noticed this new uncle who came to the house and only acted and said nothing.Both of them felt that this man was much better than the previous scholar Dong.

"I'm going to help my aunt in the kitchen." He Jiaojiao said and inadvertently supported her waist, "Ning Ning shows the new uncle around, and he chops firewood as soon as he comes to the house. When your elder brother comes back with you, The monkey kids at my uncle’s house got into trouble together.”

He Jiaojiao and Chang's mother, He Guangfen, are cousins ​​and nephews, and the two families had been in contact before they got married.When Chang Pingan and He Jiaojiao returned home, they were not as restrained as Guo Bomo.Therefore, He Jiaojiao kindly reminded Chang Pingning to take Guo Bomo around.

The younger sister Chang Pingyan is also a discerning person. When her sister-in-law said this, she also responded: "Sister and brother-in-law, let's go out for a walk. I also want to find the pages I copied from my husband for my nephew."

"Little nephew?" Chang Pingning turned his head as he was about to walk out of the main room.

"Sister Jiaojiao and eldest brother." Chang Pingyan pouted in the direction of the kitchen, and then pushed Chang Pingning toward the yard, "But if she is a little niece, I can also teach her how to read."

Chang Pingning couldn't help but smile when he looked at his sister who was less than half his height but behaved like a little adult.Looking at Guo Bomo chopping firewood in the yard, he fetched a bowl of water from the well and put it in front of him.

The two chatted, and Chang Pingning took Guo Bomo around Quyuan Village.

The families living in Quyuan Village are relatively mixed, unlike Guojia Village, where most people have the surname Guo.After the two of them walked out of Chang's courtyard, Chang Pingning greeted several aunts and ladies with different surnames.

During the chat, Chang Pingning smiled and mentioned to Guo Bomo that his sister Chang Pingyan was preparing a gift for her unborn nephew.

Guo Bomo was also very supportive and asked questions from time to time.I was surprised that the Chang family would teach Chang Pingyan how to read. It was clear that Chang Pingning's sister looked about the same age as Guo Ling'an.Chang Pingning smiled and talked about what happened to Chang Pingyan when he was a child: his playmates from the same village were sent to the village teacher for education. Chang Pingyan had no playmates, so he simply cut his hair short and went to school with his playmates.

The teacher discovered her that day, and he thought it was a child from a school who couldn't afford Shu Xiu but was eager to learn, so he asked her to listen to the teacher's lecture outside the school.Unexpectedly, a few days later, when her mother was giving her a bath, she found that her hair had been cut like a dog's gnaw. When she asked, she found out that Yanyan had gone to school to study secretly.

At that time, the Chang family had a little extra money due to a good harvest in the fields, so they sent Yanyan to school for half a year.Later, I still felt that it was useless for girls to study, so I took them back.

Guo Bomo didn't expect the Chang family to be so open-minded. Thinking of Guo Ling'an who was running around behind his third and fourth brothers, he had the idea of ​​sending her to school.

"Although Yan Meizi is a girl, I admire her studious attitude. Not only the teachers in the village always praise her, but my classmates also speak highly of her."

Hearing Dong Xiuyuan's voice, Chang Pingning frowned and pretended not to hear. He raised his head and asked Guo Bomo: "Ms., my mother still needs me to help with lunch, so just go back?"

Chang Pingning saw Guo Bomo turn his head and look at Dong Xiuyuan, stared at him for a while, did not answer Dong Xiuyuan's words, and held his hand tightly.Chang Pingning held it back with the same strength.

Chang Pingning heard a disdainful snort from behind.

When the Guo family came to the house with a matchmaker, the Chang family told the matchmaker about Dong Xiuyuan.In the Chang family's version, it was Shusheng Dong who always pestered the Chang family's daughter.

Therefore, Guo Bomo didn't have a good attitude towards Dong Xiuyuan. If it weren't for his wife Guining today and he didn't want to cause an ugly scene, he would have kicked him out long ago.

"Dong Shusheng, if you have time to follow my sister and brother-in-law, why not go weed your fields? The weeds in your fields are taller than the crops in the field." Chang Ping'an's sarcastic voice came from further away, "That's right. You’re not going to grow weeds in your house this year, are you?”

Chang Pingning was happy to see his father and brother carrying hoes and preparing to go home, and waved to them happily.

Guo Bomo on the side also respectfully called his father-in-law and uncle, and even took the initiative to take the hoe from his father-in-law's shoulder.

Although Dong Xiuyuan was very angry when he saw the attitude of the Chang family, he still kept a smile on his face and saluted Chang's father.

"Uncle Chang, Brother Chang. I just heard Ning Ning say——"

"You should call my wife 'Ms. Guo'." Guo Bomo, who is half a head taller than Dong Xiuyuan and is carrying a hoe, said.

"Brother Guo is right, I failed just now." Dong Xiuyuan still maintained a stiff smile on his face, "I just heard Madam Guo talk about my sister's experience in studying, and I couldn't help but think of myself."

"I will soon go to a private school in the town to study. If the Chang family has something you don't understand, you can come and ask me. I will help you answer it." When Dong Xiuyuan said this, his face was filled with pride.

Chang Pingning couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He didn't even pass the Tongsheng exam and he wanted to go to the town?

"But I'm short of money right now. I remember giving Madam Guo some straw knickknacks, and asked Madam Guo to return them to me so that I can exchange some money." Dong Xiuyuan said.
