Chapter 52 Rich

Wang Family Tsuchiya,

Liu Zhihua sat cross-legged on the kang and stuffed cotton into the sewn cloth, and hurriedly sewed the mattress in her free time today.

Now the house has a brand new look. A few days ago, Jiaojiao complained that the quilt was too hard, so she went to the town to buy two new quilts. With the new quilts, the quilts looked a bit old, and it happened that there was a lot of cotton left over that Erya bought. She saved a few new mattresses for sewing.

Suddenly, a pair of little black hands appeared on the door panel of the door, and Erya put both hands on the door, and a small head poked in, looking eagerly at the mother.

"Mother, my little brother and sister have been bored at home for several days, can I take them to the stream to play in the water?"

Liu Zhihua glanced at Er Ya when she heard this, and said shaking her head while sewing the mattress: "You little girl, it's not Xiao Li and Jiao Jiao who want to go, it's you who want to fish."

Erya choked, and finally scratched her cheek humbly, and muttered, "I won't dig herbs today, anyway, I want to go out and play."

Busy digging herbs these days, but she hasn't fished in the river for quite some time, and the money for digging herbs and selling them is collected by her mother. Although the family has food and drink, she doesn't have a single coin in her pocket.

If it was like catching fish in the past, she would often be able to change a few copper coins, buy snacks for herself secretly, and change Jiaojiao's headband with the shopkeeper, and do whatever she wants with money.

So, she still wants to catch fish.

"Look at you girl who is so pouty that you can hang a basket. You have to watch your younger siblings when you catch fish. If you can do it, I will let you go."

If it was usual, Liu Zhihua would definitely be worried about Jiaojiao. Today, she said this because the creek that Erya often goes to is at the foot of the back mountain, very close to the land on the top of the mountain.

Actually, the creek is not deep, and adults can only stand up to their calves. The sun shines well by the stream, and it is cool to play there.

Erya's eyes lit up, and her dark face nodded excitedly: "Mother, I can do it! I will definitely take care of my younger siblings."

Erya was afraid that her mother would repent, so she ran away without a trace.

Liu Zhihua shook her head with a smile, and speeded up her sewing. After finishing it for the family, she also wanted to make two thick quilts for Xiuhua.

Two days ago, she and the head of the family went to Xiaohe Village again to buy some things for Xiuhua and the others. After seeing each other in just a few days, Mu Kuan's body has recovered more than half, and the pimples on Mu Cheng's face are gone. There was a red light on Xiuhua's face, which was surprising.

The Mu family said it was their mother and daughter who brought them good luck. Liu Zhihua was naturally happy when she heard it. Others didn't know it, but she knew it best. The eminent monk said that her Jiaojiao was a great lucky star.

She has never doubted whether it is true or false. Jiaojiao earned the good life today. This is not luck but what is it, and even the relatives around her are contaminated with blessing.

Suddenly, the sound of scooping water came from the yard.

Liu Zhihua called out in doubt: "Erya?"

In the courtyard, Wang Zhuangzhi was drenched in sweat, holding a ladle to drink water.

After drinking, he put down the water ladle, wiped his sweat and walked into the room.

Liu Zhihua has all gone to the ground, was startled by the sudden entrance of the housekeeper, patted her heart and said, "Oh, why didn't I answer my call?"

Wang Zhuangzhi wiped off his sweat and said, "I didn't listen, I was thirsty for water when I entered the door, so I didn't care about anything else."

"Okay, okay, why are you back? Didn't you fertilize the field?" Liu Zhihua asked puzzled.

"The work in the field is done, and the sun has already risen. It will probably get hotter soon." After speaking, Wang Zhuangzhi took off his outer shirt and prepared to rest on the kang.

Liu Zhihua grabbed him, frowned and said anxiously: "Erya took Jiaojiao Xiaoli to play by the stream, I thought you could watch over there, but if you come back quietly, no one will watch Look at Jiaojiao, what if I get bumped and bumped."

Wang Zhuangzhi was also a little anxious when he heard that, "Don't worry, mother, I'll go and have a look." After saying that, he quickly put on his clothes and ran out the door in a hurry.

Looking at the back of the running out, Liu Zhihua sighed, and had no desire to sew, so she poured a glass of water and drank it.

Wang Zhuangzhi came back before he finished his glass of water.

"Hey, why are you back in charge, what about Erya and the others?" Liu Zhihua got up anxiously and asked.

Wang Zhuangzhi waved his hand, smiled and comforted him: "I just ran into old scholar Liu at the intersection. He said he was returning from the town with Aunt Liu and passed by the stream to see Jiaojiao and the others. Aunt Liu got off the car early to meet her baby. We went to play."

Liu Zhihua breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel at ease with Mrs. Liu here."

Wang Zhuangzhi shook his head with a smile and said: "Children of poor people are in charge of the family early. Erya is more sensible and intelligent than children of the same age. She will definitely protect her younger brothers and sisters. Besides, our Jiaojiao is also very sensible these days. The commander who goes up the mountain to dig herbs looks like My lord, they are smart one by one, don't scare yourself."

Liu Zhihua chuckled when she heard it, and rolled her eyes at the head of the house, "You're still talking about me, you ran faster than anyone else just now."

Wang Zhuangzhi waved his hand and smiled, went to the table and poured a glass of water, and drank it with emotion: "Jiaojiao is the lucky star of our family, she has such a big life, and I have never seen so much money. I will build a house and buy it next month." There are two sets of new furniture, and there are still more than three hundred taels left, so the future will be smooth."

Hearing this, Liu Zhihua also expressed emotion: "Don't say you are the head of the family, I haven't realized it until now, darling! Four hundred taels, ordinary people can't make so much money in their lifetime."

Regret floated on Wang Zhuangzhi's rough face, and he sighed disappointedly and said, "It used to be a good business to dig herbs, but it was targeted by those jealous people in the village. Many people from nearby villages came here to dig herbs. On the way back from carrying the wooden bucket, you can meet those people who used to dislike our family and asked to help identify herbs, and the way to earn money was disturbed by them."

Liu Zhihua patted the head of the family, although she was a little bit sighed, she still smiled and said comfortingly: "It's normal for them to be greedy for such a profitable business, but digging for medicinal materials is not the same thing. There will always be a day when the medicinal materials will disappear, and we can't do it either." Pointing to this, fortunately, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing now and have saved some, so I can save some money in the future.”

"People in the village are jealous. If we really let them know that we have earned so much money, we will not be sour, so we must not say it. Now that we have money, why don't we start a small business?" Wang Zhuangzhi suddenly suggested.

Liu Zhihua didn't dare to think about it at all, business is no joke, she shook her head and smiled, "We are illiterate, so we don't have the brains to do business, we have to buy goods and rent shops, and if we can't make money, we can't guarantee that we will lose the money. "

After a pause, Liu Zhihua continued: "The money we earn aboveboard is afraid of what they will do, and they look down on us on weekdays, and now we don't talk to them too much. Qiusheng is good at studying, and there will be more places to spend money in the future. With this money, we You can send Qiusheng to a good college, and maybe our family can produce a champion by then."

Wang Zhuangzhi rubbed his head and smiled naively when he heard this, "If there is such a day, I will definitely drink it for three days and three nights to celebrate."

"Look at your worthless appearance." Liu Zhihua was amused by these words.
