Chapter 213： It's too late to say anything

Chapter 213 It’s too late to say anything

Everyone didn’t know what happened, so they all ran in that direction.

Suddenly, before the mule cart could stop, it was surrounded by people.

“Mother!” Jiayin was already feeling sleepy due to the heat, but when she suddenly saw my mother, she rushed over to her.

Tao Hongying hugged her heavy daughter, and seeing the old lady smiling, she finally felt at ease.

“Mom, why have you been gone for so long? If you don’t come back, I will be looking for you.”

Mrs. Li got off the mule cart and said with a smile, "If things go well, I will stay for one more day to help your third sister-in-law and the others."

Before Tao Hongying could ask, no one saw Zhao Yuru and Jia Huan, so they asked, "Where did the third daughter-in-law go? Why didn't she come back?"

"Yes, there is also Jia Huan. He is usually taciturn, but he is very quick at work. He has been away for the past two days, and it has been difficult for us to help Hongying."

Mrs. Li didn't want to hide it from everyone. After all, they all lived in the same village and made a living together, so she couldn't hide it.

She smiled and said, "Jiaren's academy is too far away, and my family is worried that something might happen and I can't take care of it. It happens that there is a snack shop opposite the academy. In the future, I will let Lao San and his family go over and sell some steamed buns and dumplings to make a living. It is also convenient." Take care of Jiaren."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned to envy and admiration.

No wonder the Li family is living a good life. Mrs. Li, the head of the family, also has a very fast mind.

They are still thankful that their lives are stable, and with some wages they buy meat to make dumplings, while others go directly to shop and do business.

“Auntie, you are really good at living.”

“This is great, Jiaren is very happy.”

Old Mrs. Li waved her hand, "I just spoil my children too much, and I can't bear to let my children be helpless outside."

Aunt Wu San felt extremely cold. The Li family went to open a shop, so there was no need to send book boys to take care of Jiaren.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li took her hand and said, "His third aunt, you go back and pack Gou Sheng'er's luggage, and let Gou Sheng'er go to the academy with Lao San later. Jiaren's academy is big and there is no one to help. It’s really inconvenient. From now on, I will rely on Gou Sheng’er to help Jiaren.”

This is really another village with a bright future and a bright future. Aunt Wu was so happy that she couldn't find the north.

She responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll go back now, I'll go back right now!"

Mrs. Li asked, "From now on, Gou Sheng'er will live and eat with Jia Ren, and our family will give her an allowance of two hundred yuan a month. Do you think that's okay? If you have nothing to do, do you think Gou Sheng'er can live over there in the academy?" For a few days, the backyard of my shop is very spacious. You can go out to the academy for lunch and dinner, which is convenient for meetings. "

Aunt Wu San almost turned her head on fire like a chicken pecking at the rice, "Okay, okay!"

 With all the young men at home, they are all gritting their teeth in regret.

How come they didn’t know that Jiaren wanted to find a book boy? Otherwise, they would have asked the children at home to compete for him. That's an academy. I wish I had a dog that could recite poems.

As long as you send your children in and learn some skills, it will be enough for them to settle down in the future.

It’s a pity that it’s too late to say anything.

Li Laosan went home to pick up his luggage and supplies, and along the way he brought Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu who had come back after hearing the news.

The couple were worried and wanted to send their son with them.

The Li family is also happy. They will help drive the mule cart back when they come back tomorrow.

After seeing them off, Mrs. Li took her granddaughter on her back and walked around the house several times. She was relieved when she saw that everything was as usual.

When Li Laosi and Li Laoer heard the news, they came back to see their mother and Jiayin, chatted a few words, had dinner with the old lady, and then continued their work.

The old lady was a little tired, so she hugged her granddaughter and took a nap.

As a result, the good news didn’t come back for a few days, and I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep. I heard grandma snoring, so I climbed off the kang and ran out for a walk.

Before leaving the gate, she met Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui had wanted to come over for a long time, but Liu Zhiheng’s wife came to sit down in the morning and had just returned from lunch. Jiayin hugged Mrs. Cui's thigh and shouted happily, "Senior Sister, Senior Aunt, Fu Niu misses you!"

Mrs. Cui felt sweet and hugged the little chubby girl, kissed her several times, and then asked, "You have been gone for a few days, and my aunt misses you too. Where is your grandma?"

“Grandma is sleeping, Fu Niu can’t sleep, so she’s looking for her aunt to play.” Jiayin put her arms around Mrs. Cui’s neck, her smiling eyes narrowed into crescent moons, which was so cute.

Mrs. Cui couldn't help but kissed her fat cheek again, turned around and gave instructions to Sister-in-law Qiong.

"You stay here and tell the old lady when she wakes up. Don't make her anxious."

Sister-in-law Qiong responded, and Mrs. Cui took the good news and went out for a walk.

The valley was so lively that Mrs. Cui was not used to it, so she simply carried Jiayin and walked to the fields.

The weather was hot and the sun was shining brightly. After a while, the whole body was feeling hot and sweating.

The village chief was sitting in a thatched shed in the melon field. When he saw it from a distance, he quickly took it over.

“How did you come here on such a hot day?”

Mrs. Cui also regretted it and said with a wry smile, "I just wanted to be quiet here, but I forgot about the sun."

The village chief received the good news, handed the cattail leaf fan to Mrs. Cui to block the sun, and the three of them trotted into the shack.

The shack is only built on two sides. It provides shade and ventilation, so it is a good place.

The village chief smiled and said, "Madam, if you don't come, I have to find someone to invite you. The cold melons and cantaloupes in this field are all valuable things that Mr. Ye found. We have never eaten them. It's hard to grow them." To this day, there are still some melons, but I don’t know which ones are considered ripe.”

The good news was so exciting that I wanted to stick out my tongue, but after hearing these words, I immediately raised my head.

Counting the days, it will be July soon. It is also the time when the watermelons and cantaloupes of the previous life are opened and sold in large quantities.

 Recently, my eldest brother and I went to the academy because of my uncle's acquaintance, and we are opening a shop. We are really busy, and we have neglected the melon field.

She quickly jumped off the wooden bed covered with hay and ran to the melon field.

The village chief and Mrs. Cui were afraid that she would trip and fall, so they hurriedly followed behind.

“Fu Niu, run slowly, don’t fall.”

Jiayin turned around and waved to them. It turned out that a field mouse was hiding under the melon vines, trying to eat the cantaloupe secretly.

Jiayin grabbed a piece of trash and threw it over. Unfortunately, her little chubby hands didn’t have much strength, so the trash missed it. Fortunately, the field mouse was also scared away.

She ran over quickly and squatted next to the cantaloupe.

This melon is a kind of melon that was often grown in my hometown in my previous life. It has a golden skin with light white stripes and looks very good.

A cantaloupe is about the size of a woman’s hand, oval in shape, and pleasing to the eye.

The melon that was favored by the field mouse was darker in color, with a smooth skin and no burrs, a deep navel, and the base of the melon fell off when touched, so it was obviously ripe.

Jiayin smiled and held it up to the village chief. The village chief looked left and right and figured out some experience.

“Is this melon ripe? It’s easy to tell.”

He ran back to the shack, found water hyacinth, and cleaned the cantaloupe.

Mrs. Cui also quickly washed her hands of Jiayin. She was actually fighting for food with the field mice. It was really dirty.

The village chief took a breath and smashed open the cantaloupe with his fist.

An indescribable sweet smell spread out immediately.
