What did you say? Am I a pauper again?

Chapter 262 Mung Bean Soup

On this day, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Jing Yuanzhi wanted to wear suspender shorts when she stayed at home. It was too hot.

Looking at the sun in the sky, it was almost time. Jing Yuanzhi went to the well to lift up the mung bean soup he was hanging and took a sip with a spoon.

Well, not bad, it's ice cold and relieves the heat.

Pour the mung bean soup into the pot, then take a few bowls and carry it to find Jiang's mother, brother and younger brother who are opening up wasteland. Oh, there is another one, Li Ran.

"Why are you here?" Mother Jiang felt a little distressed when she saw Jing Yuanzhi holding a basket and a bowl in one hand and a pot in the other. His little face was covered with sweat and flushed by the sun.

"Why are you going out now? It's the hottest time now. You may get sunburned if you go out now. Your skin is already tender and you sweat so much." Mother Jiang took the pot with a distressed look on her face. He put the basket and the basket on the ground. Without even looking at it, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Jing Yuanzhi's forehead.

Jing Yuanzhi was a little shy: "Mom, I just sweat too easily. In fact, I'm not tired at all, you are. I cooked some mung bean soup. You drink it quickly. The sun is so hot. Be careful of heatstroke. ”

Jiang's mother wiped the sweat from Jing Yuanzhi's forehead before tapping her forehead: "You! You don't have to do this next time. If we want to drink water, we will go home and drink it ourselves. We are not very far apart." ”

"Mom, I feel sorry for you! If I let you drink water by yourself, you will definitely find it troublesome and won't come back to drink water!" Jing Yuanzhi may have been pampered in this family for a long time, so he spoke unconsciously. Le Jiao.

"Okay, okay, but don't choose such a hot time next time. Choose a slightly cooler time, otherwise my sunburned mother will feel distressed." Mother Jiang was very happy when she heard her daughter say she felt sorry for herself.

"Okay, I understand. Mother, please drink quickly. I hung it in the well for a while. It tastes ice cold and is just right to relieve the heat." Jing Yuanzhi poured a bowl for Jiang's mother and handed it to her.

Mother Jiang looked at her daughter's expectant eyes and couldn't help but refuse. She took it with a smile and took a sip.

The mung bean soup is sweetened with sugar, and it is ice cold from the throat to the stomach. Drinking it makes you feel comfortable.

"Well, it tastes good. It's really good." Mother Jiang praised.

"Mom, you drink more, I'll call the eldest brother, the younger brother and Li Ran to come over and drink." Jing Yuanzhi said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead." Mother Jiang nodded and took another sip.

After taking a few sips, I really felt that all the heat in my body was gone.

"Brother, Brother Li Ran, little brother, come and drink mung bean soup!" Jing Yuanzhi called to the three people who were still struggling vigorously with hoes.

"sister?"

"sister?"

"Yin Yin!"

"Come here and have a drink and rest for a while. It's too hot now. Be careful of getting heatstroke." Jing Yuanzhi said loudly.

The three men put down their hoes and headed this way.

Mother Jiang had already poured it for them: "Come on, drink it quickly. It was specially cooked by Yin Yin and hung in the well for a while. It's ice cold and very delicious."

"Thank you, aunt, and thank you Yinyin." Li Ran came over and brought a bowl.

Huang Chunyang and Huang Chunlei also brought a bowl. They had been thirsty for a long time. When they saw the cold mung bean soup, they took a big sip. After one sip, they felt refreshed.

"Sister, it tastes delicious!" Huang Chunyang grinned and praised Jing Yuanzhi after drinking a bowl.

"Sister, I think it tastes good too!" Huang Chunlei also said.

Li Ran drank in small sips, raised his head and showed a shy smile to Jing Yuanzhi.

Jing Yuanzhi looked a little strange when he looked like this. This man's personality was not like this before. Why is he so shy now? Is it because there are adults around?

"By the way, Mom, did dad help me ask again today?" Jing Yuanzhi thought of this and asked. "Yes, but there is not much hope in the village. Your grandfather Huang Donglai is the only one, and he can't remember much now." Mother Jiang said, feeling a little anxious. If she couldn't find it in the village, she would have to go to the town. If you find it, there will be more money in the town.

"Mom, forget it if you can't find it. It's the same thing if I think about it myself. Anyway, there are pictures. I just need to remember what the herbs look like. This won't delay me from looking for them." Jing Yuanzhi said.

It wouldn't be worth it to go to the town to find someone to teach her just for such a trivial matter, and the current family situation doesn't allow it.

"It's okay, I'll ask your father to look for it again." Mother Jiang still hopes that her daughter can learn more. Moreover, once she is literate, not only her daughter can learn, but her two sons can also learn. No matter when, they can learn more. Everything is good.

"Auntie, can I ask what you are talking about?" Li Ran, who had been sitting and drinking mung bean soup, spoke up.

"Xiao Ran, it's like this. Yinyin wants to be literate, but there are no literate people in the village. Your uncle is looking for him at this time." Mother Jiang said.

"Literacy?" Li Ran's voice was higher.

"What? Does Xiao Ran know anyone who can read?" Mother Jiang asked repeatedly when she saw him like this, a little hope ignited in her heart.

Li Ran was a little embarrassed while holding the bowl: "Auntie, um, I, I know some words. If you don't mind, I can teach Yin Yin."

"Really?" Mother Jiang was so excited that she almost spilled the mung bean soup in the bowl. She quickly stabilized the bowl and looked at Li Ran.

While drinking mung bean soup, Huang Chunyang, Huang Chunlei, and Jing Yuanzhi also looked at Li Ran.

Li Ran blushed a little when they looked at him, nodded and said: "Auntie, I learned from my father and son when I was a child, so there is no problem with the basic words."

"Okay! That's great! Xiao Ran, I really don't know how to thank you." Mother Jiang patted Li Ran's arm and said happily.

Huang Chunyang and Huang Chunlei had some surprises. They didn't expect that this enthusiastic boy of the same age had actually gone to school when he was a child.

Jing Yuanzhi also had some surprises. When they first met, Li Ran was hunting, and when they met for the second time, Li Ran was helping her mother hoe the ground.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who has gone to school.

In short, it always feels a bit magical.

Because Li Ran wanted to teach Jing Yuanzhi how to read, so after drinking the mung bean soup, he was rushed back with Jing Yuanzhi by Jiang's mother.

Huang Chunyang and Huang Chunlei were originally going to be driven away by Mother Jiang, but they felt sorry for Mother Jiang to open up wasteland alone, and it was faster for Li Ran to teach one person than three of them, so they did not go back and waited. It’s the same thing when my sister (sister) has learned it and teaches them.

Therefore, Mother Jiang no longer forced the two of them.

Then, Li Ran followed Jing Yuanzhi home.

The person who taught her how to read was found, and Jing Yuanzhi had to follow her no matter what.

"Brother Li Ran, let's study down here. The light is good here and it's not too hot." Jing Yuanzhi pointed to the bottom of the big cherry tree and said.

"Okay." Li Ran nodded.

Then Jing Yuanzhi took out the book and went to the kitchen to find two fire sticks.

I don’t have pen, ink and paper at home, so I have to use this.

There happened to be a big slate under the cherry tree, and they could write directly on that slate.

Li Ran looked at Jing Yuanzhi who was sitting next to him. After they were seated, he cleared his throat and said, "Yinyin, I'm starting."

"Okay, I will study hard. Brother Li Ran, you can start." Jing Yuanzhi sat very upright. She felt that she was like a primary school student now, very well-behaved.

Li Ran looked at her like this, with a smile in his eyes, and began to write on the stone slab, teaching Jingyuan one word at a time.
