Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 26

"Xiaocao, I want to make money. I want to make money to buy clothes and build a house. I don't want my mother to be so tired. I don't want to be bullied. Only when I become strong will they dare not bully me and my family. I Let Xiaozhuzi study. Xiaocao, let me tell you, I want to become rich, I want a manor of my own, and when I become rich, I want to make those who bully me regret it, I want They pay the price." Xiao Ting spoke her heart to her little girlfriend.

"Xiaohua, I also want to become rich, and I want to be like you, can you take me with you?" Xiaocao doesn't know why, but she trusts Xiaohua very much, she trusts unconditionally, she knows Xiaohua didn't say that Play, in short, she just wants to follow Xiao Hua.But because of this, later Xiaocao, in her later years when she was rich and prosperous, and full of children and grandchildren, still recalled her childhood from time to time, the best friend who helped her the most in her life—Xiaohua, but this is all for a later story.

"Xiaocao, if you want to follow me, you can, but you have to listen to me, and what we do, you can't tell the outside world, not anyone, can you do it?" Xiao Ting asked seriously With a little girlfriend.

"En" Xiaocao nodded cautiously.

"I, Xiaocao, swear that I can do it, and I must not tell the outside world, or I will be poor for the rest of my life." Xiaocao knows what poverty means at a young age, and this is already a poisonous oath.Their family is not rich.There are older brothers and sisters, who are still outsiders, and have been excluded in Chengjiakeng.The family can barely make ends meet.The eldest brother is 15 years old and is about to discuss marriage. The second sister is about to reach the age of ji, and she is 14 years old. At the age of 15, she will reach the age of ji and can marry.The third brother is also 12 years old, but he is still ignorant and knows how to play every day.

In fact, Xiaocao is very precocious, with older sisters and older brothers, and a family with many children, it is difficult to take care of her, the youngest person, but at least her parents still love her.Sister and brother can't talk about bullying her, but they don't love her too much.

"Xiaocao, I want to buy some things to sell the day after tomorrow, do you want to go?" Xiao Ting thought to herself, it's fine if there are more than one person, this girlfriend is very good, and it's okay to take a belt, these are small things, so she asked She, it depends on her wishes first.

"Okay, no matter what to pick, I will go with you. I am familiar with this place, including the surrounding mountains. I often go to pick pigweed. I know what there are in many places." The little guy looked smug.

"Okay, then it's settled. We'll go together when I feel better in a few days. How about we go together after two days? It should be much better in two days. How about that day? It's March [-]rd, in the morning, I'll go to your house to find you." Xiao Ting has fixed the time and everything, and wants to go to see it early, this family is too poor, and she wants to go to the market next time. Get more stuff to sell for some money.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." After the two sisters finished talking about this, they chatted casually.At this moment, Xiao Ting's stomach growled.

"Xiaohua, are you hungry? Wait a minute. I'll go to your kitchen to see what you can eat." Xiaocao was worried that her best friend was hungry, so she rushed to the kitchen and brought a bowl of food. The porridge came, and after feeding Xiaoting, let Xiaoting rest for a while.

"Xiao Hua, take a break, I'm going home. I still have something to do at home, I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Okay, walk carefully, don't fall." Xiao Ting watched the little guy walking and bouncing, fearing that she would fall, so she told her.

For the past two days, Xiao Ting was ordered to lie down on the bed by her cheap mother. All she cared about was whether her millet sprouted or not. Every day, she asked her grandma to change the warm water and put it in the sun to dry.Fortunately, it hasn't rained in the past few days, and the weather can still be warm.

After being beaten this time, Xiao Ting felt that her plan had to change.Before I thought about making money, studying or something.Now tell her mother directly, she knows how to read.Anyway, after rolling down the hillside, I told her mother that a god said he was going to enlighten her.Then simply say that the word was also put into her mind by God, and that it is compensation for her past.

It's just that Xiao Ting didn't know how to speak. If she said that she could read at that time, her mother would doubt why she didn't say it before.Otherwise, just continue to say that I had a fever a few days ago and dreamed about that god again. Would the god teach better in the dream?Having made up her mind, Xiao Ting decided to tell Jing Niang about her literacy.

At the dinner table in the evening, "Mother, grandma, when I had a fever a few nights ago, I was dizzy at the time, and I saw the god who enlightened me again. He taught me a lot of words and made me understand a lot of things." , He said that he taught me to make up for it a while ago. This time, he taught me calligraphy and many other things because our family is kind, so he took care of him, but he wanted us to continue to maintain a kind heart, and he said, this Don't talk about it, or you won't bless our family in the future." Xiao Ting didn't know how to express this matter to her cheap mother, so she said it in a very general way, hoping her mother wouldn't get to the bottom of it and ask some questions. of.

"Really? God bless, God bless, thank God, thank God!" Jing Niang and Mrs. Ruan showed surprise in their eyes, put the bowls on the table quickly, walked to the yard, and knelt on their knees facing the sky. Kneeling, clasping hands together, bowing devoutly, kowtowing three times in a row, before getting up and returning to the house.

We must know that the country people of this era believe in those ghosts and gods the most.Everything that involves anything they can't explain is classified as God's instructions.

"Mother, grandma, don't make a fuss about my literacy. If someone asks after they find out, just say that I learned from others at my grandma's house. And what I will do in the future, all of you Support me, don't doubt me, everything I do is for our family, don't tell others, you know?" Xiao Ting pretended to be serious, and coaxed Jing Niang and Ruan Granny.

"I know, coincidentally, this is God's care for us and instructions to you. We will never say anything, Jing Niang, you are right." At this moment, Mrs. Ruan seemed to see the hope of life, okay The day is beckoning to her.She felt that God had finally opened his eyes, and that all hardships were coming.

"By the way, mother, you are ready to sow the seeds too. Save my part of the land for me, right?" Xiao Ting called Mrs. Ruan and Jing Niang to the table to continue eating, and suddenly saw her experimental plant in the room. In the millet bowl, those millet had some small sprouts, and thought of this question.

"I kept it, can I not keep it for you? I gave you all the millet." Jing Niang said helplessly.

"Okay, my millet has germinated, and I will continue to soak the rest tomorrow. By the way, I want to go to the mountain to see tomorrow. Haven't you finished planting the seeds? Take me there, me and Xiaocao said, we will go out to pick things together tomorrow morning."

"Is your face okay? It's still swollen, and tomorrow is March [-]rd, we still have to visit your grandfather's grave and pay respects." Jing Niang looked at her daughter distressedly, her face was still not healed.
