Chapter 45, Zhu Erlang's Little Thoughts (2 more

Zhu Xiao suddenly woke up, looked at the person in front of him defensively, and it took him a while to figure out where she was today, Xixi, Xixi.

"Second Sister, lie down and rest, I'll fetch water to wash your face later!" Zhu Hua'er said softly.

"it is good!"

Zhu Xiao responded, lay down and closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep again.

Zhu Hua'er looked at Zhu Jinzhi, and finally gave her some rice, vegetables, and meat.

Zhu Zhaodi was given the most meat, and Zhu Jinzhi was slightly less, but more than her.

Zhu Jinzhi pursed his lips, and when he started eating, he gave Zhu Hua'er a piece of meat, turned around awkwardly, and ate it.

The meat is delicious, the vegetables are delicious, and the rice is delicious.

Zhu Zhaodi also leaned against the wall, took a bowl and ate in small bites, and glanced at Zhu Xiao who was asleep from time to time, feeling uncomfortable with the feeling in her heart.

Such a delicious meal, but she chewed out the bitter taste.

She is the eldest sister, and she should take care of and protect her two younger sisters, but now she still needs her younger sister to take care of her.

After all, Zhu Hua'er was innocent, and she smiled happily. As for Mrs. Zhao's words, she kept them in her heart and planned to say nothing.

Lest the two sisters be sad.

When Zhu Erlang arrived at Dr. Zhang's house, Dr. Zhang looked at the calamus he had picked, and was silent for a moment. Finally, he accepted them all and gave him fifty Wen.

Before Zhu Erlang left, Doctor Zhang couldn't help but said, "Erlang, don't give away calamus tomorrow, there are so many, I won't be able to use them for a while!"

"..." Zhu Erlang scratched his head, "Dr. Zhang, don't worry, see you off with herbs tomorrow!"

"Well, you can send some Prunella vulgaris or something!"

"okay!"

Zhu Erlang responded.

But he thought in his heart, if he could earn money from hunting, Zhu Xiao would not be allowed to pick herbs. After all, there were many dangers in the mountains, so it was better to stay at home, learn needlework, and take good care of his body.

He hopes that his children will be in good health, marry a good family, have a full house of children and grandchildren, and live a long life.

On the way back, Zhu Erlang calculated how to use the money in his hand.

He wanted to take the three children to the big medical clinic in the town to see if there were any health-preserving pills. Instead of decocting the medicine every day, he would take one or two or three pills a day to slowly restore his body.

He didn't dare to use this money indiscriminately...

Back at home, Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhu Erlang and her eyes were red. Zhu Erlang ignored her, went to the well to fetch water and carried it into the bathroom to take a bath. Zhu Huaer was boiling water in the kitchen and yelled sweetly, "Father, do you want to take a bath?"

"Ok!"

"I boiled hot water for Second Sister to wash, but Second Sister fell asleep so tired, Dad, you can use it first, Second Sister said, bathing in cold water is not good!"

Zhu Erlang smiled, cuddling very tightly in his heart.

"Row!"

I went to the kitchen to carry water into the bathroom, and washed myself carefully.

Come out refreshed, and naturally put away the money properly.

Mrs. Zhao stood at the door, "Erlang..."

"Ok?"

"Did you hunt anything today?" Mrs. Zhao asked softly.

apprehensive.

"I have hunted a wild boar, Fugui and the others should send it to the town!"

"That's great!" Zhao smiled, and quickly took the clothes Zhu Erlang had changed, "I'll wash your clothes!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Erlang wanted Mrs. Zhao to wash the clothes for the three daughters, but he didn't say anything after all.

He hoped that Mrs. Zhao would regain her original intention of being a mother little by little, and be better for her three children.

Thinking of the three children, Zhu Erlang went to the chicken coop in the backyard, caught a hen, and returned to the kitchen.

"Father?" Zhu Hua'er whispered in astonishment.

"Hua'er, boil some water, let's have chicken and chicken soup at night!"

"..."

Zhu Hua'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately happily went to boil the water.

Speaking of chicken and chicken soup, after thinking about it carefully, she has never eaten chicken that has been raised for several years.

In previous years, the money was sold during the Chinese New Year and saved for repairs.

Zhu Jinzhi and Zhu Jinhong were astonished, but also extremely pleasantly surprised, and helped boil water to pick beans.

Went to pick pumpkins again.

It's just that there is no food for cooking. Flour, coarse grains, and rice are all locked in the cabinet.

That is to say, if Mrs. Lu doesn't come back today, there will be no food for dinner.

Zhu Erlang looked at the lock on the warehouse door, turned around and went back to the kitchen, found the axe, chopped off the lock with one axe, and took out rice and noodles from inside, "Eat rice at night, and make some vegetable pancakes !"

Zhu Hua'er looked at Zhu Erlang as if she had never known him before.

Zhu Xiao took a shower, went to wash her clothes and came back, looking at the rice and white noodles on the table, she was also stunned for a while.

But suddenly understood something.

Perhaps Zhu Erlang really wanted to separate and go out, so he was extraordinarily wanton. As long as Zhu old man and Mrs. Lu couldn't understand him like this, they would separate into the second room.

Isn't that what they want!

"Let me cook!" Zhu finished the novel, dried his clothes and went to the kitchen to cook...

the town
Old man Zhu sold the rabbit and got the money, so he and Mrs. Lu went to the academy to pick up Zhu Mingguang. When they went to the restaurant in the town, they ordered two meat dishes, one meat dish, and three bowls of rice.

Lu Shi looked at Zhu Mingguang with a smile, and kept picking up food for him, "Mingguang eat more!"

Zhu Mingguang is 17 years old, studying in an academy, and his knowledge is not bad. In addition, there is an uncle in his family who is a scholar. No one bullied him in the academy, and the master treated him well, so he had a kind of self-confidence.

Zhu Mingguang has a fair complexion, and his hands are white and tender, with calluses between the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

Pick up the chopsticks and put the vegetables in Lu's bowl, "Grandma eats too!"

Put it in the old man Zhu's bowl again, "Grandpa eats vegetables too!"

He picked up the jug and poured wine for old man Zhu, "Grandpa, drink some wine, but this wine is too bad. When I have a future, I will buy the best wine for Grandpa!"

Lu Shi smiled very happily.

Old man Zhu also laughed, took a sip from his wine glass.

The mind is a little wandering.

He knew that the family is like this now, if Erlang no longer cares about the family, what will Mingguang do in the future?
Some things, in the end is wrong.

Now he wants to make up for it, but he doesn't know how to make it up. Erlang is afraid that he will never pay anything for the family again, and the children will no longer work. He lost one or two thousand eggs a month, and there are more than a hundred eggs. Rabbits and a few pigs can be sold, now the pigs are gone, the rabbits are gone, only chickens and eggs are left...

How is this money enough?

He also thought about sending Jin Hong to the school.

"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Zhu Mingguang asked.

Can not help but worry.

"Alas!" Hearing this, Lu sighed, and just as he was about to speak, he was stared at by old man Zhu, who immediately fell silent and dared not say anything.

Old man Zhu patted Zhu Mingguang's shoulder with a smile, "Don't think about it, there's nothing wrong, just study hard with your master and get admitted to Tongsheng!"

"En!" Zhu Mingguang nodded, wisely, he didn't ask any more questions.

As for the situation at home, he had a clear mind.

The three of them ate, and Lu Shi took out a purse, "Mingguang, this is the pocket money that Grandpa and Grandma gave you. It's not much, it's only five hundred cash. When you have something to buy, you can buy it." , don't wrong yourself!"

At this moment, the smile, tenderness, and love on Lu's face, and when facing the second bedroom and three sisters, are like heaven and earth, as if they have changed faces, which is so weird that it makes people feel cold all over...
