Chapter 22 When the grandson's wife
Xiao Li whispered next to his elder brother's ear with sparkling eyes, then grinned and asked, "Brother, are we very good?"
Digging for herbs?
Qiu Sheng's handsome face was a bit worried. The younger siblings must have entered the jungle at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Wang Zhuangzhi's voice came.
"Ah, what are you carrying half a sack of?"
"Father, this is the medicinal material that my brother and I dug up. Jiaojiao said this can be sold for money." Erya's dark face was full of seriousness, and she believed in her heart that these would definitely be exchanged for silver taels.
Wang Zhuangzhi stepped forward to open it and saw that they were all wooden roots. He shook his head and laughed in disbelief, "The curbs are all these wooden roots. How can these things be sold for money?"
"That's not true, my little sister said it's called Tian Qi, and it's more valuable than ordinary medicinal materials. Tomorrow, Dad will accompany us to the town to buy it, and it will definitely sell for silver." Erya said loudly with her hips on her hips.
Liu Zhihua put Guaibao to sleep, and when she heard the dispute between their father and daughter, she came out to look at the earthen roots covered in mud, and looked at Erya with a frown: "You little monkey, you led your younger siblings up the mountain, right? "
"Mother, no!" Erya shook her head hastily, then grabbed the hem of her clothes and said in a low voice, "Well, we just walked around the forest at the foot of the mountain."
Hearing that in the woods, Liu Zhihua was so angry that she raised her finger and pointed at her daughter and shouted: "Wang Erya! Before you go out, I told you to ignore your words. There are poisonous snakes and insects infesting in that place. You have eaten bear's heart and leopard gall!"
Erya shrank her neck and explained in a low voice: "Mother, I carried my sister on my back when I went out and in. My shoes were tied with straw mats. The few of us were not injured."
"You, you guys are so mad, I'll forget it!"
Liu Zhihua clutched her heart and became short of breath, obviously very angry.
Wang Zhuangzhi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and then he looked at his daughter with a serious expression on his face and said, "Ah, the forest is too dangerous. Although there are no wild animals, snakes and scorpions are indispensable in the dense weeds. There are also beasts, so please listen to your mother and don't go there in the future."
Erya's dark face drooped, her bright eyes turned cleverly, seeing her father and mother's stern appearance, she hurriedly nodded obediently and said, "Well, I won't go, next time I go out, I must make it clear to my parents."
But I don’t think so in my heart. If the herbal medicine can really make money, I will definitely go next time. Then I will let my father go with me. When I encounter a wild beast, I will ask my father to shoot it to death with a sword.
Seeing this, Qiu Sheng also persuaded him: "Dad and mother calm down, this is the end of the matter, the younger brothers and sisters are fine, Erya will definitely not dare to do it next time."
Liu Zhi was angry with flowers, but after all, she was her own heart, and it was useless to talk about it after the matter was over. Seeing a few children getting disheartened, she hurried to the kitchen to boil water.
Although Wang Zhuangzhi didn't believe that these things could be sold for money, his daughter was very sure, so he took the half bag of Tian Qigen to the yard, poured it all out and hung it on the ground, otherwise it would be ruined all night long.
After all the tossing and turning, it was getting late when it was time for dinner. Jiaojiao fell asleep and was fed a bowl of porridge by her mother. She felt that her mother was wiping her face with a kerchief, and she called out softly, "Mother~ ", and fell asleep again.
Liu Zhihua caressed her daughter's beautiful hair, her eyebrows and eyes were distressed, but she never suspected anything else, she just thought it was her daughter who was tired from running all afternoon.
…
The next day,
Erya couldn't fall asleep before dawn, so she specially found a red-headed rope and tied two soaring shofar braids for herself, and happily ran to knock on the door and shouted to her parents to get up quickly.
"Mom and dad, get up quickly, I'm going to town with you today!"
"You splashy monkey, be quiet, be careful not to make Jiaojiao..."
Jiaojiao also heard her sister's voice. After a night of recovery, she was no longer tired.
Seeing that her parents were getting dressed and getting up, she also jumped out of the quilt, her arms were as cute as two white lotus roots, and she said in a waxy voice, "Mom~ I'm going to town too."
"Hey, beware of catching a cold, lie down quickly, it's still early outside before dawn, and my mother will make breakfast later, so my baby won't be too late to get up again."
Saying that, Liu Zhihua tucked the quilt up for her daughter again. It was a bit cold at this time, and the baby was already delicate, so it would be troublesome if she caught wind and cold.
Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at the wooden window, but she couldn't see anything at all. She blinked her eyes a few times, and finally obediently hid herself under the quilt.
"Baby, sleep well, your parents are outside, don't be afraid." Wang Zhuangzhi coaxed with a smile.
Jiaojiao nodded: "Well, I'm not afraid."
"My Jiaojiao is so good..."
Watching her parents leave, Jiaojiao suddenly thought of the ganoderma she picked, she got out of the quilt, found the dress she wore yesterday, the ganoderma inside was gone, she frowned, and hurried to the room I found it.
Finally, I found out that my mother was put away on the wooden box, and it was not damaged, and the veil that was wrapped earlier was still on it.
Jiaojiao took the Ganoderma lucidum and ran directly to the backyard to plant it.
…
The sky is getting brighter,
After breakfast, the whole family wanted to go to the town with them. Erya and Xiaoli were excitedly waiting to sell the silver, while Qiusheng had finished copying the books and went to the bookstore to hand over the errands.
Jiaojiao has never been to the town, and she wants to go along with her curious face.
If it was normal, Wang Zhuangzhi would have rushed there earlier, but now that there are four more little radish heads, and Qiu Sheng and Jiao Jiao are weak, Liu Zhihua hurried to Grandma Qiu's house.
Grandma Qiu sells tofu in the town, and there is an ox cart at home.
After discussing with Granny Qiu, they gave Granny Qiu's son another four copper coins, and they agreed to take their family to the town.
It is rare for a family of six to take a luxury ride in an ox cart. Liu Zhihua feels sorry for the four copper coins. If she didn't bring the children, she would be able to walk after a while at most.
Along the way, the son of Granny Qiu, who was driving in front, didn't want to talk to the unlucky households in the village, but Granny Qiu liked Jiaojiao, and kept talking to people along the way.
"Jiaojiao looks so good, how about becoming my Qiu family's granddaughter-in-law in the future?" Granny Qiu held Xiaojiaojiao's little hand and said in a voice audible to both of them.
Jiaojiao scratched her head. As a ginseng essence, she didn't quite understand what the daughter-in-law meant, so she tilted her head and asked her parents: "The mother-in-law said that she will be the grandson's daughter-in-law, what does that mean?"
When the Wang family heard that it was okay, Liu Zhihua hurriedly hugged her daughter into her arms, and smiled at her mother-in-law Qiu, "Jiaojiao is still young, mother-in-law don't scare her by saying these things."
Wang Zhuangzhi looked displeased. The grandson of the Qiu family looked like a thin monkey. He was as big as Qiusheng and as tall as Jiaojiao.
Qiusheng is thirteen years old, and he can understand these words to some extent, so he is naturally unhappy, but Granny Qiu is an elder, so he can't say anything.
Grandma Qiu smiled awkwardly, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Zhihua, don't worry, I just said that casually."
She naturally knows what her grandson looks like, but although the fourth girl of the old Wang family is good-looking, she has a heart disease, and she still wants to give more gifts to find a beautiful daughter-in-law for her grandson. , which made her a little bit embarrassed.
