The female supporting role has arrived on the battlefield

Chapter 89 The Cheap Son With Insufficient Kidneys ([-])
The firewood of the two sold for three pennies in total, and Ji Ning gave Jin Heng one penny on the way back: "You earned this penny, if you want to buy something in the future, mother's money is not enough, you can use it for emergency. "

Jin Heng looked at the penny in his hand. He had just sold the firewood, and his palms were still a little dirty. Thinking of going up the mountain this morning, he thought he could sell more money after finding so much firewood, but he only sold three pennies.

Among them, those with bad appearance were eliminated, and most of them were picked up by mothers. Only then did he realize how hard it is to earn a penny.

After a while, Jin Heng asked in a daze, "Mother, how much is the miscellaneous noodles we eat?"

"Zamian, Zamian costs four Wen a catty, and white noodles costs seven Wen a catty. For a catty, we can probably eat for two days," halfway through speaking, watching Jin Heng frown deeply, Ji Ning smiled again, and stroked his head: "You are still young, mother will find a way to make money, if you want to help mother reduce the burden, you can save it first, when you can read more, when the time comes It will not be so difficult to make money."

Seeing that it was getting darker, Ji Ning took Jin Heng to the river to collect the chicken coop, and found two palm-sized carps inside, which made Jin Heng almost jump up for joy.

"Mom, we caught fish! We have meat to eat!"

Ji Ning was also very happy to finally be able to improve the food, but he did not forget to remind: "It's a pity to eat these two fish in one meal. I will eat one in soup today, and the remaining one will be braised in brown sauce tomorrow. Let's dig some earthworms and put them in. Let's see if we can get something in the morning."

The next day, there was no need for Ji Ning to say that when Jin Heng came back from his run, he brought back the chicken coop by the way. Inside, a grass carp weighing about two catties was sold to Wang Yuanwai for fourteen coins. To Kim Heng.

It was like this every day for the next few days. In the morning, I exercised, harvested fish, and collected firewood. In the afternoon, I learned to recognize and practice calligraphy, and then reviewed what I learned before, and exchanged firewood and fish for money.

Go to the town every five days to buy some rice noodles and necessities, and occasionally buy a steamed stuffed bun or eat a bowl of noodles, buy a biscuit, etc. to improve meals. As for vegetables, I buy them from the village, which does not need to be carried for an hour and is also fresher. Cheap.

Half a year has passed in a hurry, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few days, and the New Year's goods must be prepared.

During this period of time, Ji Ning was teaching him how to read and write, and he even wrote a storybook himself, which is both lively and interesting, and has elements of enlightenment and thinking.

Early in the morning, Ji Ning took Jin Heng into the bullock cart.

Ji Ning took the books she wrote to the study and sold them. There were ten stories in total, and they only sold for two taels of silver. This was because the stories she wrote were interesting, so she only offered the price of two taels of silver for one story, which is not bad. .

These days, Jin Heng already has some concepts about money. When he saw two taels of silver, he still felt that it was a lot. With half a tael left, I suddenly became worried again.

After half a tael of silver, Ji Ning bought some rock sugar, some eggs, three chickens and seasonings, two catties of pork ribs, three catties of pork belly, one catty of shrimp, some sugar, fruits, books, etc. There are only twelve texts left.

On the way back, Jin Heng was preoccupied.

Excluding the money for the horse-drawn carriage, Ji Ning spent all his ten cents on buying vegetables. There was still rice and noodles at home, enough to last for at least half a month.

After returning home, the first thing Jin Heng did was to split open the bamboo pot and count the money he had saved in the past six months. There were 130 cash, which was only one penny and thirty cash.

If he had seen so many copper coins before today, he would have been very happy, but today he saw how useless the money is, and Jin Heng felt anxious again.

Without enough money, there is always a feeling that you will starve to death in a second. How can it be broken?
However, when he ate the delicious braised pork, the fresh and tender garlic prawns, and the soft and sweet chicken cake and sweet maltose after the meal, Jin Heng said it was really delicious.

Thus, Jin Heng spent the new year happily and painfully.

After the Chinese New Year, in order to improve the quality of life, Ji Ning decided to give up collecting firewood, which was not very profitable, and just pick up what he used for his own household. Instead, he used the time spent looking for firewood to look for herbs.

For this reason, Ji Ning specially bought an introductory herbal medicine book, but the price was greatly reduced because of the wrong method of herbal medicine preparation at the beginning, but in general, it was much more profitable than selling firewood.

It's just that Wang Yuan's family doesn't accept it, so they can only save up and sell it at the pharmacy in the town.

Two years passed by in a hurry. In these two years, Jin Heng was taught by Ji Ning. In addition to reading characters and reading short stories to divert his thinking, Ji Ning would buy any books that were interesting but not too expensive.

When Jin Heng was bored, he would flip through the books. There was basically no obstacle for him to read through the book now. If he really didn’t know him, he would ask Ji Ning.

But now, Ji Ning decided to let him go to the school in the next village to study.

It's not that Ji Ning's knowledge can't teach Jin Heng, but that their home is a little far away from the village, and Jin Heng has to study every day, and the little friends in the village who are about his age basically help the adults do some fighting. Things like pigweed, or running all over the mountains to find wild vegetables.

Ji Ning does not object to him playing around with friends of the same age. Ji Ning just hopes that besides the friends in the village, he can have more friends who encourage each other and work hard together in study, and also help He gets along better with people.

When Jin Heng knew about it, he didn't feel much repulsion. After all, he often heard Shitou talk about the master in the school, as well as interesting stories about other students in the school, and he was very envious.

Since he was entering school, the master still had to make the most basic considerations. First, he asked him whether he could read and write. After getting an affirmative answer, he asked him to write his own name.

It's rare to look at him with admiration, and even want to test Jin Heng's knowledge: "Jin Heng, you just said that you have learned the Three Character Classic, so do you know the meaning of the words Ximengmu, who chooses a neighbor. If you don't learn, you will die?" "

After asking, the master felt a little regretful, and felt that he had asked too deeply. After all, it takes a few months of enlightenment before learning the Three Character Classic when just entering school. I am afraid that few people in the school understand the meaning of it. But he asked a child who hadn't gone to school for a day, and he probably couldn't answer it.

He was about to say forget it, but Jin Heng replied without thinking: "This sentence means that Mencius's mother moved three times to make Mencius have a good learning environment. Once Mencius played truant, Meng's mother He broke off the weaving loom and taught Mencius."
