Chapter 220： Rich people, let’s be brothers!

Chapter 220 Rich people, let’s be brothers!

Among the classmates invited by Jiaren, two are the nephews of the companions that Mr. Wen brought to the valley that day. They are of good character and not arrogant.

The other three are from similar family backgrounds to the Li family, but they are generous and study hard.

The student celebrating his birthday today is a little fat guy, he is usually gluttonous, and he is very cheerful and kind-hearted. Even if he secretly eats some dried meat in the middle of the night, he will also give Jiaren a handful. The two of them get along very well.

That’s why Jiaren thought of asking his brother to cook and give him a birthday banquet.

The little fat man was so happy. He liked this dish and that dish was delicious. Finally, he asked the honest and honest family friend where he learned the craftsmanship. He wished he could send the cook from home to learn the craftsmanship.

Everyone was well fed, joking and joking with the fat man, and clamoring to ask Jiaren to take precautions, because the fat man wanted to steal his lesson at noon.

At this time, Li Laosan came over with a cold melon in his arms and said with a smile.

“Jiaren, these are the cold melons from our field. I sent three of them here in the afternoon. You cut one and taste it with the gentlemen. The remaining two will be brought to the gentleman in the courtyard tomorrow.”

“Oh, are our cold melons ripe?” Jiaren was happy and quickly thanked his third uncle, then called on his classmates to cut the cold melons together.

The students were curious and gathered around to look at the big guy. Suddenly the little fat man shouted, "Oh, I know. My dad came over the day before yesterday and said he wanted to buy me a jade melon as a birthday gift, but he didn't buy it. No way. Is this it?”

Li Laosan puffed up his chest proudly and said with a smile, "This is it. When I presented it to the emperor, the emperor named it Jade Melon."

The students were furious, "Is this the cold melon named after the emperor?"

“It’s so expensive, isn’t it a pity for us to eat it?”

“I heard that this thing costs ten taels of silver each.”

“No way, one mouthful will cost dozens of dollars, it’s too luxurious!”

Jiaren didn’t know what to do with the kitchen knife, so he asked his younger brother for help.

Jia Huan is very quick and can cut it with just a few knives.

Jiaren first took two pieces and gave them to his uncle and aunt, and then invited his classmates to eat.

The students also bowed and thanked them, and then ate.

"Woo, this is so delicious." The little fat man hugged the largest piece of cold melon and was so moved that he almost cried, "Jiaren, do you still lack a son in your family? I want to be your brother, and I want to lie down In the fields, we eat cold melon every day!”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, "Be careful, your father will hear you and spank your ass!"

“Then let my dad plant a few acres, and I’ll lie down in my field and eat it.” The little fat man thought of his dad’s big slap with a cattail leaf fan, and quickly changed his tune, making everyone laugh.

Jia Huan rarely interrupted, "Someone at home said that whoever wants to grow cold melons can be taught by our family. Next year, many people in nearby villages will follow suit."

Little Fatty was originally a joke, but he didn't expect that the Li family really wanted to spread the news. He was so surprised that he forgot to spit out the seeds.

“Your family is so generous, you are willing to give away such a cornucopia!”

The other classmates also nodded. There is no need to grow more cold melons, which cost ten taels of silver each. Planting a few acres of land a year can yield tens of thousands of taels of silver. It is easier than robbing money. They actually taught me this way.

Jia Jia smiled and nodded, "If my family says so, it must be right."

The little fat man quickly collected all the melon seeds and kept them in front of him, "Don't **** them from me, these melon seeds are all mine."

“No, it’s mine, mine!”

“There’s me, I want it too!”

The students pretended to fight for it and made a fuss. Finally, they gave it to the little fat man and made an appointment to eat cold melon at his house next year.

The backyard of the small shop was so lively because these students came as guests that it almost overturned the roof of the house.

Li and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Li, were sitting under the eaves, waving cattail leaf fans, smiling and watching their play, thinking that one day they would talk to my mother when she got home, so that she would be happy too.

My nephew has finally established himself in the academy, so the family does not have to worry too much.

After lunch on the second day, Jiaren took Jiahuan and each of them carried the cold melon into the academy. Gou Sheng'er wanted to help, but he was too young and had no strength. A cold melon weighed twenty pounds and couldn't be carried at all.

Jiaren went to the dean's yard first, but unfortunately he had not seen the dean and could not go in. He only gave the cold melon to the old servant guarding the yard.

The old servant stared in shock and looked at Jiaren carefully.

A few days ago, a disciple of the dean specially sent one over. I heard it was very valuable.

But at this moment, an ordinary student actually held a cold melon to show his respect, which surprised him.

He specifically asked Jiaren’s name before accepting it.

Jiaren didn't think much about it and took his younger brother to the coach's yard again.

The gentleman in charge of teaching Jiaren’s class is named Peng. He is a middle-aged man who is knowledgeable and interesting. Because he is acquainted with Mr. Wen, he takes good care of Jiaren.

Now that I got cold melon, Mr. Peng was of course also happy and asked Jiaren to talk a few more words.

Jia Huan feels uncomfortable in the house, so he waits in the yard.

There was a pond of koi in the corner of the yard. It was swimming happily. He couldn't help but go to check it out, gesticulating with his hands.

A girl watched from a distance for a while, then walked up and asked, "What are you doing, practicing martial arts?"

Jia Huan was startled. He turned around and saw a pretty little girl. He blushed and said quickly, "I don't know how to do martial arts. I'm a cook. When I saw these fish, I couldn't help but think about how to cut them and pickle them." Easier to taste…”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then giggled loudly, and Jia Huan's face became even redder.

Jiaren said goodbye to his husband and came out. He didn't see his brother, so he shouted a few words.

Jia Huan quickly walked out of the corner of the courtyard and said, "Brother, I'm here."

"Why is your face so red? Are you exposed to the sun?" Jiaren touched his brother's head and pulled him out. "Go home, wash your face, and have a good rest."

“I know, brother.” Jia Huan responded and followed his eldest brother out of the courtyard. He couldn’t help but look at the corner of the courtyard secretly...

Although the mountain forests in summer are much more dangerous than those in winter, they are extremely cool due to the shade of trees and no exposure to the scorching sun.

Li Laosi and Ye Shan, along with Jiayi and Liu Yang, as well as twenty soldiers assigned by Mr. Ye, have been in the mountain for eight or nine days.

There were no old or weak people, no extra luggage, and they were traveling very fast.

Li Laosi roasted the rabbit in his hand with one hand, and used the other hand to swat mosquitoes, and said to everyone.

"We will arrive at the valley at noon tomorrow. It is only two hills away from the official road outside. Then we will repair it, have a good rest, and then go find out what is going on outside. If we can catch two barbarians, ask Their background is even better.”

Yeshan and the soldiers all nodded. They originally thought that Li Laosi and the two and a half young men would be a bit of a drag.

Who would have thought that these three people were as at home in the mountains and forests as they were at home.

As expected, no one can underestimate it.

That night, everyone took turns to keep vigil, and finally set off immediately after dawn.

The valley where the Li family and villagers spent the winter was not on the central line running through the mountain forest from north to south. It was slightly to the east, so it was not easy to be discovered.

And it's very close to the official road. People who usually go into the mountains and forests do so to avoid being chased by barbarians, so they will definitely stay away from here.

So, Li Laosi was not very worried about the valley being discovered.

But when they finally arrived, they were all stunned by what they saw.

Six thousand words in the third update, here you go!
