Finally, before Zhang Sijiu left, Yang Yuanding repeatedly promised: "Don't worry, no matter what you do, I will help you. If you really want to get married, I will definitely marry you. Then when you meet the person you like, we will

Divorce again.”

Zhang Sijiu was not moved at all and looked sideways at Yang Yuanding: "Don't think about it, your family won't agree."

Do you understand that they are well matched? Naive!

Yang Yuanding waved his hand: "You don't understand, there is no parent who can defeat their children. As long as the method is right, it can definitely be done!"

Regarding this point, Yang Yuanding, who has been favored throughout his life, is full of confidence and confidence.

Zhang Sijiu's teeth were sore again.

She suspected that she and Yang Yuanding were not fellow villagers at all and could not become friends. Instead, they should become a control group!

Zhang Sijiu had a heart attack for a moment, but finally said firmly: "I just want to make money and start a career. Forget about anything else."

Physical marriage or something like that is unreliable when you think about it!

Yang Yuanding tried to persuade Zhang Sijiu: "That's just the last resort."

Zhang Sijiu was too lazy to pay attention to him.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Xu came to see them.

When Mrs. Xu was brought in, she was dumbfounded and worried. Even though she was a smart and capable woman in the countryside, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked and uncomfortable in this strange environment.

Yang Yuanding invited Mrs. Xu to drink water and eat snacks.

But Mrs. Xu felt uncomfortable: the gap between status and family background was never more obvious than now.

Zhang Sijiu also noticed it. So she stood up and left politely.

Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and kept saying that it was getting late and it was time to go back and make lunch.

Although Yang Yuanding still wanted to talk to Zhang Sijiu, he could see Xu's discomfort, so he did not try to persuade her to stay.

But he wrapped up the snacks that were barely touched on the table and put them into Zhang Sijiu's basket: "Say hello to Granny Yang for me."

Zhang Sijiu understood that the snack was for Yang.

She didn't refuse.

But when they were actually sent to the door, Yang Yuanding quietly stuffed a bag of things over and secretly said to Zhang Sijiu: "Girls need to replenish their blood. You can keep this bag of jujubes to eat in secret."

He wanted to say it a long time ago. Zhang Sijiu's yellow hair was dry and withered, and his face was dry. It would not be good if it continued like this.

Before Zhang Sijiu could react, he had already waved and said goodbye to them with a bright smile: "I'll go and play with you in two days!"

Holding the small oil-paper bag, Zhang Sijiu finally smiled back: "Okay. I'll show you something fun then!"

She thought that although he was a second-generation rich man who was a little ignorant of the sufferings of the world, overall, this fellow was still a very kind person.

On the way back, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but ask about what happened after the separation.

After learning that Zhang Sijiu had sold the mushrooms and received thirty yuan, Mrs. Xu was somewhat surprised.

After learning that she had agreed with the shopkeeper to bring eggs next time, Mrs. Xu was even more surprised: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​selling eggs?"

Zhang Sijiu pulled Xiao Bai and explained: "Second aunt sells eggs anyway, so going to the market will take a long time."

Mrs. Xu still couldn't help being surprised: How could Jiuniang become so smart?

Looking at her two sons who only knew how to eat and play, Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth in anger: They are both descendants of the Zhang family, how come they are not smart at all?

After Zhang Sijiu talked about his own experience, he went to see Xu's backpack.

Xu's basket was covered with sycamore leaves for shade, but the tender squawks of little ducks could be heard inside, and the bright yellow down could be seen through the gaps in the basket.

Zhang Sijiu asked curiously: "Second Aunt, how many ducks did we buy?"

"I bought ten pairs." Mrs. Xu said cheerfully, "They look pretty good and they are willing to eat. They are probably easy to take care of."

One pair is two, ten pairs is twenty.

Not too much.

Zhang Sijiu was a little dissatisfied: "Why don't you buy more?"

Mrs. Xu smiled at Zhang Sijiu's disappointed look and patiently explained: "If you buy too much, you won't be able to see it. The chicken pen is not big enough, and it is easy to get sick if it is too crowded. And we only have so many fields. If there are more, we will go to other people's fields and get hurt."

Scolding is a trivial matter, but if someone catches you and doesn't retaliate, it's our fault."

Zhang Sijiu understood: "Okay then."

After returning home, Mrs. Xu put down her backpack. Zhang Sijiu lifted up the sycamore leaves on her backpack and immediately saw a group of yellow velvet ducks with small yellow mouths and small black bean eyes.

I have to say, the little duck is really cute.

Even the soles of their feet are tender yellow.

Probably out of fear, the little ducks huddled together, almost squeezing into a ball.

Mrs. Xu used a braided bamboo fence to enclose a small area in the chicken coop, and put the ducklings in one after another.

Zhang Sijiu counted them and found that they were indeed twenty.

Then, Mrs. Xu used two broken bowls and pottery basins, filled each with a little grass mixed with rice bran, cleaned the well water, and used them as food basins and water basins for the ducklings.

The little ducks soon began to eat and drink water.

Each one took two bites and then tilted his neck to swallow, which was smart and cute.

Zhang Sijiu couldn't help but look at it for a long time: Otherwise, except for insects, all the baby creatures are very cute!

Xiaosong and Xiaobai also watched together.

And Komatsu obviously has not forgotten his mission, and said with a smile: "I will definitely take care of the ducks!"

Mrs. Xu laughed: "There's no need to let her go yet. Let her be raised for more than ten days first. Then we'll talk about it when she's older!"

Zhang Sijiu had seen enough of the little duck, and then went to wash his hands. He first gave the bag of snacks to Yang, explaining Yang Yuanding's intentions. Then he took the money and went to Xu: "Second aunt, I can keep this money."

Part of it?”

What she thought was, thirty-seven cents. She left ten dollars and handed over the remaining money to Xu for daily expenses.

Mrs. Xu never expected that Zhang Sijiu would actually give herself the money she finally got from the sale, and she was a little stunned for a moment.

But looking at Zhang Sijiu like that, she knew that Zhang Sijiu was serious.

Mrs. Xu wanted to laugh again, but her eyelids were a little sore: "What are you doing? You can keep that little money to buy candies."

"I will keep ten dollars, and the second aunt will take the rest." Zhang Sijiu firmly put the money into Mrs. Xu's hand.

Although I was a little reluctant to give it up, as the Xu family is the head of the family, it costs money to eat, drink, and feed the whole family. Especially for the little pumpkin to nurse--it has to be sent to the Li family every now and then, which is also very expensive.

Mrs. Xu looked at the twenty dollars tied up with a string and thought about it in a blink of an eye: "Do you think you have to raise a little pumpkin, so -"

Zhang Sijiu did not admit it, but changed to a more tactful way of saying: "I don't want my second aunt to work so hard."

It can be said that Mr. Xu put all his efforts into the life of his family and was calculating everything, for fear that he was not frugal enough.

Zhang Xiaoshan does odd jobs every day, which is also very hard. But in Zhang Sijiu's opinion, he is not as hard as Xu. Xu has more worries and more odd jobs. From morning to night, he is like a top.
