Chapter 85 Xiaocai makes meritorious service

When comparing Miaomiao and Miaobao, the whole family unsurprisingly fell in favor of Miaomiao.

Ji Huai and Zeng Ziji, who were temporarily pulled over to express their opinions, chose Miaomiao without hesitation, because Miaobao sounded strange to them.

But the name Treasure got unanimous praise.

As a result, Caibao officially lived as a member of the Cheng family.

Since it was still small, Ye Ning requisitioned the bird's nest they brought down from the mountain that day and gave it to Cai Bao as a nest. It was just the right size. Anyway, the chickens could sleep in the main room with a wooden partition.

Xiaocai was very dissatisfied with the plummeting quality of life.

I wanted to find fault, but the moment I saw the puppy, I was so scared that the whole chicken shrank its neck, clamped its wings tremblingly, and all its feathers suddenly exploded, and even the fine velvet stood up in fear.

, and became like a little hedgehog.

This, this aura is too overbearing!

Xiaocai ran out in a hurry, called her children back, and told her not to provoke the dog in the house!

Chickens: "Chi-chi-chi!"

Cheng Miaomiao stayed at home and played with the puppies for a while. After taking a nap, she ran to the backyard and picked a bright red wolfberry. She picked up her reading friend Ji Huai, turned around and ran to Zheng's house.

He gave the wolfberry to Mrs. Yu like a treasure.

I even specially washed some of them, put them directly into her water glass, held my head high and said cheerfully: "You just have to soak the wolfberry in it and drink it! Let's start drinking it from today. Over time, our eyes will be healed."

"This means that Huangtian pays off his conscientious people!"

Madam Yu: “…”

Mrs. Yu's mouth twitched slightly. Drinking wolfberry soaked in water is indeed good for improving eyesight, but throwing it into the water and drinking it casually is like chewing peonies!

Do you know how much these wolfberry seeds sell for in medical clinics?!

Those dried wolfberry seeds can be sold for dozens of yuan per tael. Instead of studying medicine with Dr. Zeng and learning the drying method, she just went through these fancy practices.

Madam Yu broke these truths into pieces and explained them clearly to her.

Do you understand? Next time, don’t give these things to people who don’t want to do them, okay?

Cheng Miaomiao's face was filled with surprise, and he nodded: "Oh, so that's it! I understand, then I will dry all the wolfberries at home and then bring them to you. You can just drink them these days!"

After saying that, they crowded around her, spread out the book, pointed to the allusions above and started asking questions.

This was the first time that Madam Yu had seen such a child whose expression was so incomprehensible, but this was the person's wish, and not accepting it would seem to be her fault. When she saw the child's dark eyes, she was rarely able to say anything.

Mrs. Yu had no choice but to answer the notes in the book for her.

Cheng Miaomiao listened with great interest, because she just discovered that this Three Character Classic was full of stories!

This was not what Uncle Zeng said when he taught me.

For example, Meng's mother moved three times, Dou Yanshan taught her five sons, and Kong Rong could make pears at the age of four... It completely filled up the poor and scarce human knowledge reserve of the little mountain god, and even wrote about six grains and six animals in the book.

It’s edible!

There were a lot of things inside that she had never eaten before!

Zheng Bai, who was out for a walk, saw her asking his mother enthusiastically what is beam, what is bean, and what does it taste like? How is the taste of mutton different from the taste of horse? Dogs are used to guard homes and nursing homes.

Why can it be eaten?

Children are very curious and are always throwing out questions one after another.

Mrs. Yu's face turned dark, but she still patiently answered her questions one by one.

Zheng Bai looked at the scene in front of him and felt dazed for a while, trying hard to recall the scene of his enlightenment. He was only three or four years old when his father died in an accident. He was not yet old enough to enter the school for enlightenment. He just studied with his father on weekdays.

.

But after his father passed away, his mother forced him to start reading.

The reading scenes in his memory were always accompanied by beatings, scoldings, hopes for his son to succeed, and his mother who sat aside and cried silently. He grew up listening to his father's experiences. He only remembered that he wanted to be admitted to the scholar examination, to be admitted to the examination and complete his father's exam.

's last wish.

In the end, I couldn't think of any tender scenes.

...Has his mother ever taught him so patiently? He couldn't remember.

Zheng Bai watched his mother skillfully coaxing the little girl with fresh stories, her eyes were bright and full of admiration and admiration. He thought a little uncertainly that maybe his mother had really coaxed him like this, otherwise

How could she be so skilled?

Zheng Bai was still in a trance until the evening when mother and son sat together for dinner.

After finishing the meal, Zheng Bai was about to say that he would go back to memorize some books.

Madam Yu suddenly stopped him, pushed the big pottery cup on the table to him, took out a few red wolfberry berries from the handkerchief and threw it in. She said softly: "You work hard in studying, so you can drink some wolfberry water."

Clear your mind and clear your eyes.”

Zheng Bai was dumbfounded: "??"

Take, take other people’s wolfberries to raise your son?

Cheng Miaomiao got a new puppy and a teacher, and was extremely happy all day long.

If it hadn't been for the autumn harvest recently, running to other houses every day would have seemed like a meal. She wished she could stay at Zheng's house and read all day long. Listening to Aunt Yu's lectures was much better than Uncle Zeng's!

In the past few days, all the fields in Xiaohe Village have been harvested and dried.

The grain recorder sent by the government also counted and recorded in the village. This year's grain calculation in the village was more than 10% less than last year. Even the grain recorder couldn't help but shake his head. As a result, the grain collected by the government was also reduced.

It becomes less.

The county magistrate has encountered this kind of thing since he came here. I really don't know whether to say it's bad luck or bad luck.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor above us now charges a low land tax of 20 per 100 per cent. Otherwise, no one knows how many people would starve to death in this year.

But the most talked-about thing that happened in the past few days was what happened in the old Cheng family.

Let’s start with the day when Xiao Zhou discovered that there were no eggs in the chicken coop. Sister-in-law Qian said that she had not picked up any eggs, but none of the eggs used to replenish the pillars were dropped, so Xiao Zhou

He became suspicious.

I got up early for several days in a row.

I waited by the chicken coop early in the morning and let the chicken out at dawn. But I reached out and touched around in the cage and couldn't find even half an egg. The nest was hot but there were no eggs!

Later, no matter how carefully she stared at the chicken coop, there were no eggs!

Mrs. Qian also told Mrs. Zhao that she didn't touch the eggs, but she still kept eating eggs for Zhuzi day and night. Mrs. Zhou felt that she had stolen the eggs and deliberately lied to them that they didn't have eggs. Suddenly

I was furious.

Eggs are a rare commodity, and even Dalang and others who work in the fields eat less of them.

Why can’t this kid Zhuzhu stay still?

One night at the dinner table, little Zhou couldn't hold it back and scolded her angrily.

So Qian was inexplicably scolded and felt extremely wronged, and she became furious.

Because she has never done this before!

The first room and the fourth room were arguing like this all day long, so loud that the whole Xiaohe Village knew that they were causing a shameless quarrel over the eggs.

Cheng Miaomiao was walking her dog when she learned about this.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, turned to look at Ji Huai beside her, and suddenly praised: "Brother Ji Huai, this is a great idea!"

Xiaocai has made great achievements in this wave!
