What a cheating husband

Chapter 7 Preparing for New Money

After dinner, the family gathered around the old dining table and heard Chen Ping complaining to A Niang, "Amang, the college asks me to make a painting every holiday, so I can't use rice paper to paint in class."

"Hey, son, our family has to wait for the autumn harvest to sell the food before we can buy you some more blank paper. In the past three years, we have finally paid off the money owed by your second sister's marriage. Let's use rice paper instead of painting. "Miao Rencui comforted her precious son softly.

"But mother, you don't want to see your son being ridiculed by classmates, right? People in our village make jokes. People from all over the world in my school know that our family can't afford blank paper. It only costs 5 cents a piece. I can’t even afford it, Mr. doesn’t look right at me, how can you teach me so hard?” Chen Ping acted coquettishly.

At the age of 13, Chen Qing was able to carry a plow and plow the fields, while Chen Ping was still a doll who could only beg for things coquettishly with his mother.

"Success, let your father borrow some from your uncle first. My son will be a master of talent in the future. Who dares to look down on my son, and I will return them when the autumn harvest is sold." Miao Rencui was elated by the youngest son. He was even more reluctant to let his son be ignored by his husband.

Boss Chen didn't move for a long time, but was finally kicked up by his wife, so he had to brazenly go around asking for money.

"Ah Qing, you are also 15. After the autumn harvest, you will pick up a part-time job, so that your younger brother will not have to raise money for a piece of drawing paper. When Ping'er is selected as a scholar, won't your cousin follow suit?" Miao It was rare for Ren Cui to give instructions to Chen Qing in a gentle tone.

"Understood, auntie, when the landlord Liang's house comes to collect the rent, I'll ask the steward for a part-time job." Chen Qing agreed without raising her eyebrows, piled up the bowls and chopsticks in her hands more and more quickly, and walked out of the main room with her arms in her arms.

Seeing that Chen Qing was obedient and obedient, Miao Rencui felt relieved, "I have your cousin, don't worry."

"How much money can you earn just by doing part-time jobs? It will be faster for Chen Qing to work long-term jobs with rich families in the town." Chen Ping gave A Niang an idea.

"No, your father's body is not as strong as the previous few years. With Ah Qing at home to help him, he can still support his body. If Chen Qing is sent to the town to do a long-term job, your father will be exhausted, and the new tenant's land will also be planted. Can't finish." Miao Rencui rejected his son's proposal after a little thought.

"Cut~ It's useless, I can't even earn my white paper money, and I have eaten our family's food for nothing." Chen Ping fanned the flames, he just didn't like Chen Qing.

"Mother won't let him waste food for nothing. No matter how much rice and noodles he eats from me, he will spit out so many marks on me." Miao Rencui patted his son on the shoulder and went straight into the back room. When he was walking, he still twisted into a slender waist like a willow leaf, and his posture became more and more weird and ugly.

After tidying up, Chen Qing took her younger sister back to her home, and taught her how to write by laying out straw paper by the light of the kitchen fire.

Chen Qing has only learned a few calligraphy lessons in primary school interest classes, and can still remember the basic strokes, but it is not talkative to say that the fonts are beautiful, and he can only read them.Taking out the book that came from Chen Ping's house, Chen Qing wrote down the word "Tian" according to the font on it.

After teaching her younger sister how to hold a pen, and focusing on explaining the order of writing, Chen Qing let Chen Bi practice by herself.Chen Bi was reluctant to waste the straw paper, and the writing was very small, which was basically the same size as the lower case in the book. After Chen Qing said a few words, she couldn't see her writing bigger, so she let her go.

After practicing for a while, Chen Qing thought about it again, took out a piece of straw paper, and wrote the strokes separately on it. As long as you learn how to write the strokes, all the characters are just a combination of these strokes. Learn from easy to difficult gradually It can also deepen the impression.

Chen Bi practiced very seriously, as if embroidering, she had to think carefully before each stroke and strive for perfection.Seeing that his sister was able to write well in a short while, Chen Qing once again lamented that his two strokes were not as good-looking as her sister's writing.

Fearing that Chen Bi might hurt his eyes, Chen Qing only asked Chen Bi to practice for half an hour before putting everything away and hiding them in the woodpile. There was a cellar under the woodpile, which was not deep enough to hold a wooden box.

The cellar was covered with a wooden plank, which could be pulled up to hide things, but the aunt probably found out that there was also a bunch of dry firewood and two jars of pickled vegetables piled up on it.

Chen Bi used a branch to draw the strokes and characters he had just learned on the ground, waited for the water to boil, poured it into an earthen pot, and let it cool before drinking.The brother and sister wiped their bodies with the remaining hot water, then extinguished the firewood in the stove and went back to sleep.

There are no entertainment items in farm life, so I go to bed early and wake up early.Chen Qing woke up at dawn. He had more time to snooze than others. He had to go into the mountains to look for mountain goods, cut pigweed, collect firewood, weed the fields, and help his sister with some housework when he had time.

So Chen Qing is very busy and has no time to sleep in. A 15-year-old boy has become an adult in this era, which means he can get married and have children, and establish a family.

It was broad daylight after Chen Qing washed up, and Chen Bi woke up right after her. She wanted to rush to the embroidery meeting while her uncle's family was still awake. Chen Qing told her to pay attention to the time and went into the mountain with a bamboo basket on her back.

Use a stick to beat the dew on the grass blades while walking, and scare away snakes, insects, rats and ants by the way.Today, Chen Qing was lucky. He dug up a few hemostatic grasses of good age, and dug up a few common herbal medicines for treating wind and cold. The back mountain of Chenjiagou was leveled by Chen Qing long ago. place.

There are people walking around all the year round, and it is hard to find wild animals in the mountains and forests. Most of them are small animals like pheasants and hares. Occasionally, a few small snakes are mostly non-venomous grass snakes.

Chen Qing is afraid of snakes, even though he knows that snakes are not poisonous, he often breaks out in a cold sweat from fright. He is most afraid of this kind of thing that has no feet and is slippery all over, and he runs away whenever he sees it.In fact, apart from being afraid of snakes, Chen Qing also has a secret that he dare not tell others. He is afraid of caterpillars, very afraid.

When he was a child, he was bullied by village children and threw a caterpillar around his neck. Chen Qing cried out on the spot because of the creepy tingling sensation. Later, the caterpillar crawled into his clothes and scraped a long red mark on his delicate skin, which was itchy and painful. It hurts, and later I heard from my mother that I drank two pastes of decoction before the allergy symptoms were cured.

From then on, whenever Chen Qing entered the forest, he had to tie up his neck and walk while beating him with a stick.

After picking two green pears and a handful of hickory nuts, Chen Qing quickly picked up the firewood, tied it with a rope and carried it home. After the autumn harvest, he will start hoarding winter firewood. Just get ready.

After breakfast, Chen Qing was still thinking about his new way of making money. After finishing his work in the morning, he specially asked some naughty kids in the village to catch weasels and bring them to him.

Chen Qing has always been very popular in the village, especially children. When he is not busy, Chen Qing will take a few scouting children into the mountains to catch pheasants. There were a lot fewer birds, which made Chen Qing realize that he couldn't do anything, and strictly ordered the naughty boys who followed him not to dig out the bird's nest, and he had to calculate when hunting sparrows, so as not to have roasted sparrows to eat in the future.

The boys got Chen Qing's order to make an appointment to go to the mountains to catch pheasants after the autumn harvest, and they dispersed happily.

"Brother Qing, what do you want that weasel to do? The meat doesn't taste good," Chen Hu and Chen Qing, the grandsons of the fat second aunt, asked curiously as they walked home.

"Didn't the chickens of Sanwazi's family get yelled at by weasels two days ago~ If you don't fight them, they will breed more in the future, and all the chickens in the village will suffer. You are also the children of the village, so of course you have to do your part." Chen Qing blushed. Out of breath, he brought out the truth.

"Brother Qing is more thoughtful." Chen Hu pointed his rounded chin, imitating Chen Qing's appearance, and said old-fashionedly.

"Okay, you should hurry home too, the sun is poisonous at noon, don't go wild outside" Chen Qing explained and pushed open the courtyard door.

"Hey~ Brother Qing, are you going to take a bath by the river in the afternoon? Niu and the others said they want to catch fish." Chen Hu grabbed Chen Qing's clothes by the corner, and Chen Qing was too busy to lead them around when it was spring and autumn.

"There is still work in the afternoon, you are not allowed to go down the river without an adult leading you, do you hear me?" Chen Qing asked with a careless face.The oldest of the wild boys is only two years older than Chen Bi, and if they drown, no one will go down to fish them.

"Oh, then I'll tell Ah Niu that you won't let me go." Chen Hu sternly agreed, and the others didn't bother to bring their babies to play together. If Chen Qing didn't follow, they were really afraid of going back to the river. The family will be beaten.

"I'm looking for a big student to follow, his family has a lot of hands, and they are almost busy with work." Chen Qing patted the disappointed Chen Hu.

"Success, then I'll go to Yangda Shengge." Chen Hu immediately cheered up, and greeted Abi who was going out to pick up his brother.

Chen Bi seldom plays with children of the same age, but he is familiar with these brats who always follow his brother's ass.

Seeing that Abi ignored him, Chen Hu had to say goodbye to Chen Qing wearily, and went home by himself.

"You don't like Huzi? Every time you see him, you always wrinkle your face." Chen Qing pinched the girl's cheek, amused to see her look of disgust.

"Tigers are the most annoying thing. When I was young, I used to scare me with dead rats." Abi took the green pear handed by her brother, threw it into the basin to wash, and began to gnaw it without drying it.

"Then what kind of man does Abi want to live with in the future?" Chen Qing grinned, squinting her eyes to find out what the girl likes.

"I'm only 10 years old, and I don't like any kind of man! My brother hates it the most!" Chen Bi is still a little girl, she stomped her little feet and didn't help dry the herbs, she turned around and ran into the house.

Chen Qing smirked, rubbed her nose and secretly estimated how to apologize for a while to make the little girl forgive him.

Chen Bi hid in the house, munching on the green pears. She didn't want to marry, and if she married, she would be separated from her brother. In the past five years, brother and sister lived together, and her memories of her parents had long been blurred when she was young. Her brother treated her very well, and he taught her to grow up as a father and mother. She didn't want to leave her brother.
