Little husband's market life

Gang'er is also a little guy who is easy to satisfy, eating a few small dustpans with a smile on his face.

He bit the water chestnut open with his small teeth, the pitiful small front teeth scraped off a little bit of water chestnut meat, it looked like something rare.

Qiao Zhishu touched his brother's big head, "When I learn it, I will make cakes for you every day."

He never thought of making cakes like Shengxue and selling them for money. Shengxue guarded against the actions of the aunts to let him know that Shengxue didn't want others to learn how to make cakes to steal her business.

So Qiao Zhishu only thought about learning how to make pastries for Ganger to eat, and saving some money for his brother to buy pens and ink.

My brother said, "You reap what you sow." He hopes that with his diligence and hard work, he can learn the idea of ​​making pastries from Sheng Xue, and make them for the ganger to eat by himself.

At home, Sheng Xue really can't control her cousins ​​who are loved by her parents. She can only control Qiao Zhishu. The dirty and tired little guy never complains. There is no need to worry about people running away.

Sheng Gang sat on the younger brother's lap with his legs spread out, and ordered food happily, "Brother, I want to eat fat cake."

"Well, no fat..." Qiao Zhishu was troubled.

Sheng Yao happened to come out of the study room, holding a roll of manuscripts in his hand, and said, "Let's go to Grandpa's house tomorrow. This is the content of the scientific examination. Help my brother to send it to my father."

"Okay!" Qiao Zhishu picked up Gang'er and put him on the ground, ran to take the manuscript in Sheng Yao's hand, and said before going out: "Brother, Gang'er has to sleep for a while, he has been playing for a long time. .”

Sheng Yao went over to pick up his younger brother, and slowly raised it up twice, "Your brother is so worried about you, why don't you sleep?"

Sheng Gang's soft and weak voice, "hehehe", laughed happily.

The old lady Sheng who was holding shoe soles under the eaves also turned around and probed into the house. Indeed, since Qiao Waer moved in, the little grandson seemed to be more energetic, and was stared at by his brother for sleeping and eating, and even gained weight a little bit.

There is no more sick and pitiful appearance.

Qiao Wa'er is her little lucky star, Gang'er's little birthday star, and Yao'er's little lucky star.With him, Gang'er will live a hundred years, and Yao'er will be a high-ranking official and rich salary.

After delivering the manuscript, Qiao Zhishu saved it to help her sister push the stone mill.

The water chestnuts have been peeled and cut into pieces by Shengxue, ground into white pulp with a stone mill, covered with a white cloth over the mouth of the wooden basin, and left to stand outside the kitchen overnight. The wet water chestnut powder is scraped out, dried in the sun, and finally crushed into powder.

But Qiao Zhishu didn't have time to wait for the water chestnut powder to dry. He carried a small cloth bag and was carried by Sheng Yao onto the horse's back.

Sheng Yao mounted the horse by himself and protected Qiao Zhishu in front of him, pulled the rein to comfort the horse, and listened to his father's instructions.

"Don't stop on the road, go early and return early."

Fang He also stood aside and said to Qiao Zhishu who was willing to listen to her: "Qiao Er, if you want to pee, hold it in first, don't make trouble, there is some kind of villain on the way, called Tian Tian not working, you know?"

"Well, Auntie, I don't pee." Qiao Zhishu was also a little frightened by what was said, and the hand holding the rein turned white.

"When you arrive at Sun's house, you must be obedient. You can cook and choose vegetables. You don't need to be called by adults, you know?"

Sheng Yao interrupted, "We have to set off, when the sun comes out, horses tend to slow down."

He brought eight-year-old Qiao Zhishu to his grandfather's house to do long-term work.

Watched by the elders, the two walked out of Longjing Village facing the morning sun.

The little Xiucai took his young foster husband to pick tea at Grandpa's house.

**

Qiao Zhishu headed back to ride the big horse, which was very novel, the horse was galloping, and his small body was bouncing along with it, not to mention how interesting it was.

He thought it was interesting, but Sheng Yao behind him was quite worried, "Lie in my arms, don't fly out."

I was really afraid that the little guy would not be able to pull the reins and fall, so I should let the little guy sit behind me and hug me before setting off.

Qiao Zhishu smirked, "Okay, brother, it's fun!"

Sheng Yao felt a warm stove leaning against his arms, and the two of them pressed against each other, he was relieved a lot.

"It's fun to ride a horse." Sheng Yao corrected, why do I have fun?

After leaning on her brother, Qiao Zhishu felt much more relaxed, her calf no longer needed to clamp the horse's belly, and her calf was raised and raised with the bumps of the horse.

"Oh, it's fun to ride a horse." Qiao Zhishu also corrected herself, and sighed, "Why is brother so stupid?"

He had his hometown accent again, Sheng Yao laughed against the wind, and Qiao Zhishu in his arms also laughed foolishly, not sure if he understood the point of the joke.

During the time alone with Sheng Yao, Qiao Zhishu would talk a lot. He saved a lot of words in front of Sheng's family and dared not say them easily, waiting to chatter in his brother's ear, so Sheng Yao thought it was quite interesting along the way.

Sun's family is in Shangjing Village next to Longjing Village. The distance between the two villages is only ten miles, and it takes less than half an hour to ride a horse. Therefore, Sheng Yao was able to visit his grandfather alone when he was 11 years old.

His grandfather's family is on the mountainside of Shangjing Village, and they have been tea farmers for generations, so there is a special horse foothold at the foot of the mountain to receive caravans who come to buy tea.

When they arrived at the Sun's Inn, the groom came over and pulled the reins to control the horse. Sheng Yao got off the horse and carried Qiao Zhishu down.

As soon as Qiao Zhishu landed, he saw a big black dog running towards him.

"Ahh... Brother!" Qiao Zhishu screamed in fright, turned around and hugged Sheng Yao's waist tightly, raised his legs with his strength, and hung his whole body on Sheng Yao's body.

Sheng Yao picked him up, shouted back the black dog, "Let's go!"

The big black dog stopped urgently, its front paws prostrated on the ground, its buttocks pouted and its tail crazily wagged, very excited, "Woo...woof!"

Sheng Yao wrapped Qiao Zhishu's little butt with both hands, coaxing the child, "The more you hide from the dog, the more it barks, don't be afraid."

After coaxing the child, Sheng Yao hooked Heigou's chin with the tip of his toe, "Heizi, go lead the way, and go back to get you the bone."

Heizi jumped a few times on the spot to meet the little master, and then went into the mountain road, looking back to see if the little master was keeping up as he walked.

Sheng Yao went up the mountain with Qiao Zhishu in his arms, put Qiao Zhishu down when he was halfway up the mountain, and led him to look down at his feet...

The tea trees all over the mountain are lined up in rows, and it looks green from a distance. After calming down and sniffing carefully, the faint tea fragrance is refreshing.

"These are tea trees planted by my grandfather."

Qiao Zhishu stared blankly, "Tea trees... tea leaves grow on trees? Why are they planted on mountains?"

Sheng Yao let go of him and went to sit down on the rock beside him, untied the cloth bag and took a sip of water from the water bag before saying, "Because the high mountains and clouds make good tea, come drink the water."

Qiao Zhishu ran over, put his two little hands on his brother's knees, and raised his head to drink water.After drinking the water, he stood in his brother's arms and continued to admire the tea field.

"We're here to help grandpa pick tea. After picking tea, there will be meat and bones to eat." Sheng Yao put his knees on one hand, and looked sideways at the expression of the little guy in his arms.

Qiao Zhishu's atrium is plump, and there is a layer of fluff on his face from a close look. He is still a child after all. He was so happy when he heard the fleshy bones, he bumped his feet, and leaned softly into Sheng Yao's arms, "Okay!"

"How do you pick the tea leaves?"

Sheng Yao felt that the child's real behavior was very interesting, "So impatient, do you want to pick tea or eat meat?"

It was just a question, Qiao Zhishu seemed to have eaten a meaty bone, raised his head with a smile, stretched his thin neck and shouted: "Meat!"

One big and one small smiled at each other, Sheng Yao was happy that Qiao Zhishu finally no longer looked like a careful child, he doted on him; Qiao Zhishu was scolded and educated simply because he followed his brother and was happy in whatever he did. Also happy.

"If you want to eat meat, don't you come in quickly? Silly boy, sit here and wait for the meat to fall from the sky?"

Suddenly there was an unfamiliar voice intervening, Qiao Zhishu immediately put away his smiling face, and hugged Sheng Yao's waist with his small hands. He didn't let go until he heard Sheng Yao call 'Uncle' to someone who came, but he became more nervous.

Sun Hongrun: "I said why Heizi is so annoying today. Are you thirsty after driving all the way? Are you hungry?"

Sheng Yao stood up, patted Qiao Zhishu on the back, "Call me Uncle."

Qiao Zhishu's eyes widened, and she obediently called Xiaojiu. She was about to kneel down and kowtow, but was stopped by Sun Hongrun.

"We don't want to kowtow, good boy, let's go home and eat sugar water with my uncle." Sun Hongrun picked up Qiao Zhishu. Relentless.

The Sun family members are all tall and big. Sun Hongrun manages a mountain of tea fields. He has strong arms, broad shoulders and thick back. He holds Qiao Zhishu with one hand, and grabs the cloth bag carried by his nephew with the other hand. take it.

It was the first time for Qiao Zhishu to sit on the arm of a tall, unfamiliar adult man, with his small hands folded on his chest, not daring to move.

Sheng Yao understood him and said to him, "Young uncle is holding it, don't be afraid."

Only then did Qiao Zhishu carefully put his hands on Sun Hongrun's shoulders, his big eyes still timidly staring at Sun Hongrun's face secretly.

Sun Hongrun was amused by the little guy, and asked his nephew: "Where does this belong to the Sheng family? It's as light as a cat, and less courageous than a mouse, hahaha..."

Sheng Yao had a smile on his face, "Uncle, I passed the exam."

Sun Hongrun was still happy about the arrival of his nephew, and the news was even more precious. His hearty laughter wafted from the Sun family's yard halfway up the mountain.

The family members of the Sun family are weak, and the fortune teller said that the two elders are not related to each other, so they really only have one daughter, Sun Yuan, and one son, Hong Run.

Sun Yuan was Sheng Yao's mother. After she passed away, the only son in the Sun family was Sun Hongrun.

In Sun Hongrun's generation, there is no male under his knees. There is an eight-year-old brother, Sun Sheng, and a six-year-old girl, Sun Hanyan.

So the arrival of Sheng Yao made the two elders of the Sun family overjoyed, and Grandma Sun hugged Sheng Yao to wipe away tears, tears of joy.

Sheng Yao's aunt went to wash a plate of melons, fruits and pears, and took a plate of fried peanuts and pine nuts at home. Unable to stop at all, she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.The second elder and the grandfather stayed in the main hall to catch up with their nephew and listen to his nephew's interesting stories about scientific research.

Qiao Zhishu really wanted to stick to his brother and listen to the story, but he still remembered what his aunt told him before he set off, so he slipped down to the kitchen to help light the fire and wash the vegetables.

His industrious behavior provoked Grandma Sun to boast, "It's the first time I saw you bring a child from the Sheng family here. He is different. God rewards hard work, and thrift fosters virtue."

Sheng Yao answered immediately, revealing Qiao Zhishu's identity in the Sheng family...
