Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 250 Decent
Chapter 250 Decent
The fat aunt put the pig's head in a big wooden basin, soaked it in boiling water, held a sharp knife in her hand, and plucked the hair on the pig's head in a "swish" manner. The hair on the pig's head was the hardest. way to eat.

Zhao Shuangxi stood at the door of the house, and people came to congratulate her everywhere, so she couldn't rest for a moment.

"It's better for Aunt Fat to have the foresight. I know that your mother will be busy and won't have time to cook." Fat Aunt said cheerfully.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Fat."

"What's the relationship between us, don't talk about this."

He Lanshan didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and the neighbors all came to congratulate her.

"This is an egg laid by my hen. It was laid just a few days ago. I remember it. The egg is very fresh. Take it with you." This is the next-door neighbor, Mrs. Wang, who brought twenty eggs .

Another little daughter-in-law came here, and she said shyly: "I didn't expect my sister-in-law to teach the children so well. My third son is now five years old. When will I be enlightened? What, can you come over and discuss with my sister-in-law?" ?”

Speaking of which, the little daughter-in-law stuffed a preserved fish in her hand.

The host came to order eggs, and the west came to order food. Zhao Shuangxi refused to accept them, and countless hands pulled her, refusing to let her go at all. Zhao Shuangxi was helpless.

"Mother, just accept it, it's everyone's wishes. Wait until the end of the year, let my brother write Spring Festival couplets and blessings for everyone, and send them to you when the time comes." He Lanshan went out and said.

Everyone nodded, thinking that this idea is good.

Zhao Shuangxi took all these things away, and everyone exchanged a few words before leaving. Zhao Shuangxi twisted He Lanshan's nose and said, "You little fellow, why are you so greedy? Everyone doesn't want to make any money." Easy! How can I collect their things."

He Lanshan took Zhao Shuangxi's warm palms, led her into the room, and said, "Mother, how can I call this greedy? Besides, didn't I say that I would write Spring Festival couplets for them during the New Year! And they gave things to express their gratitude." Scholars’ respect, if I don’t accept it, they will drag you until dark, how can Fat Auntie be so busy all by herself!”

"Hey, I'm busy." The fat aunt has shaved off the hair of the pig's head neatly, so that the pig's head looks even more handsome.

"You have many reasons, thank you for your hard work, little fat lady." Zhao Shuangxi put the collected things in the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook together.

Before Zhao Shuangxi entered the house, there was another knock on the door.

"Auntie!" Seeing that the door was not closed tightly, Zhao Xiaowu pushed the door open and came in. Zhao Xiaowu held two strings of cannonballs in his hand, and his face was full of joy.

Xu followed behind Zhao Xiaowu, and only after entering the room did she take off her conical hat that tightly wrapped her face.

She also went to help Zhao Shuangxi and Fat Aunt, while Xu sighed: "Back then, Xiao Wu refused to go to school and insisted on doing business, otherwise he could follow the county test now."

This is Xu's regret, feeling that he did not give his son the best.

"How can you say that, his aunt, as the saying goes, with these 36 lines, he can become the number one scholar. You see, Xiao Wu can make money, how good he is, I heard that during the New Year's day, just selling roasted seeds and nuts in Datian County Earn more than ten taels of silver, right?" Fat Aunt said enviously.

He Lanshan thought silently in her heart, in fact, she made a full 50 taels.

The main reason is that she asked Mrs. Xiang to make fragrant melon seeds. The roasted seeds and nuts in Datian County are not very good, so they are naturally very popular when they are sent over.

He earned so much in just half a month, of course, it was largely due to Zhao Xiaowu's contribution, and it was all Datian County where he ran.

The fat aunt saw that Mrs. Xu didn't refute, she really made more than a dozen taels of silver, and she went on to say: "What do you say you are studying for, and it's not for making money. It’s time to make money. How many of these ten miles and eight villages can you find who are better than your Xiaowu?”

"You said him so well, young people are easy to be proud." Xu Shi said, lowering her head slightly, but the corners of her mouth were already upturned. She knew how good her son was, but her heart was sour at that moment.

"Auntie Fat, my little brother Wu is also great, and your little fat brother is not bad either. Who in ten miles and eight villages is as filial as a little fat brother!" He Lanshan said with a smile.

A few days ago, Aunt Fat dropped her hand when she was harvesting frogs. Xiao Pang washed Aunt Fat's feet and fed her food every day, and the reputation of this dutiful son spread.

"Look at us bragging about each other!" Fat Aunt was also happy.

He Qinfeng and He Qinzheng were in the study room. He Lanshan specially asked Zhao Shuangxi to make a room for them. The room was still fragrant and elegant like a scholar.

He leaned on the window frame and looked outside, looked back at He Qinzheng and said lightly: "I will continue to study, and I will take the government examination in two months, I hope I can pass. If I become a child, my parents The face is also more decent."

He Qinfeng saw that this kind of decency is not something that can be obtained with money, he has more and more grasped the motivation to study hard, and after finishing speaking, he went to the desk and read the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the government test this year, but I can take the test to see how difficult it is." He Qinzheng thought of his goal, which is a secret between him and his younger sister.

He also has to work very hard, but he has self-knowledge, and he really can't get through now.

"We brothers work hard together!"

Compared with He Qinmao, He Qinfeng and He Qinzheng are more intimate, because they are similar in age, and He Qinmao is still young, and they are all favored by them. For reading, it is just literacy, and it has not yet reached the level of hard work.

The women who were busy outside didn't know the determination of the two brothers of the He family, and they were talking and laughing while they were messing with the dishes in their hands.

In the afternoon, it was estimated that Mrs. He and Mrs. Hu had brought the news back to the village.

Although He Qinzheng and He Qinhua did not file a case, but He Qinfeng and He Qinzheng filed a case. This is also the grandson of Mrs. He. She was naturally happy to show off outside. The only one who was upset this day was Hu.

The people in the village relied on He Jinyi's family to collect frogs to make money. Today, there was a happy event in his family, and immediately everyone packed a bullock cart and rushed to the county town.

"These are eggs laid by pigeons raised by my relatives. There are not many pigeon eggs on the market, so eat them to make up for it."

"There is also my old duck who has been raised for five years. If you make soup for the children to nourish their bodies, whether our village can produce a scholar depends on your two boys."

"And the Polygonum multiflorum I dug on the mountain. I don't know what year it is. Take it."

Zhao Shuangxi didn't expect the villagers to be so enthusiastic. Her two sons had just passed the county examination, and people who didn't know thought they were selected as scholars.After collecting so many presents, Zhao Shuangxi originally wanted to keep everyone for dinner, but the villagers all went back to eat after making an appointment, and they were all empty at once.

After a while, another bullock cart carrying villagers came, and they also had large and small bags in their hands.
