Chapter 186 Aunt Xiu is back

  —

   After breakfast, it was still slightly dark outside.

  Liu Zhihua brought all the dry food prepared last night, and then led the children to send the father and son out.

  As soon as he reached the door, Qiu Sheng said, "Mother, it's so cold in the morning, don't send it off."

"Don't worry about us. Mother will be able to go back to the house when you turn around. You are wearing thin clothes, and get on the carriage quickly. Remember to wrap the blanket that mother gave you, and be careful of cold hands on the road. Rub them when they are cold, otherwise Writing with a brush is trembling..."

Liu Zhihua kept talking, dragged Qiusheng into the carriage, and did not forget to tell him: "Although mother said that you want to be successful, but you have to relax when you go to the examination room, don't worry too much about it, what you think about is nothing. "

  Qiu Sheng nodded when he heard this, his delicate face was full of indifference, and he comforted him, "Mother, don't worry, I'm sure of myself."

   "Oh, okay, then we won't bother you on your way, let's go!"

  Liu Zhihua smiled and waved to urge, don't be late because of speaking.

   "Then let's go." Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and waved.

  Xiao Li hurriedly shouted: "Brother, you are the best, you will definitely get the first place in the exam!"

  Liu Zhihua tapped his cerebellum, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't put a stone on your brother's heart."

  Xiao Li rubbed his forehead, said with a smile: "Brother knows so much, so he won't be crushed by stones."

  Qiu Sheng listened, waved his hands with his brothers and sisters, and said with a gentle face: "Hurry up and go home, and when the eldest brother comes back, he will buy you special products from the county."

  Jiaojiao nodded, raising her hand and waving her little fleshy hand. In fact, she injected some spiritual power into her elder brother. Only when he is full of energy can he do good deeds.

  The carriage drove away slowly, and Er Ya tiptoed and shouted: "Father, brother, you have a safe journey."

  Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and said "Hey",

  Qiu Sheng also lifted the curtain, waved his hand and said, "Understood, let's go back."

  The carriage quickly went out for a while, and the body gradually disappeared at the intersection.

  Liu Zhihua led the children and watched the carriage leave, her face was naturally a little bit sad and worried, and the mother was worried when the son traveled thousands of miles.

  Although she is accompanied by the head of the family, after all, she will be closed in the study hall for two days. She prepares food that is easy to digest, but she is also worried that Qiu Sheng will not know whether her body can stand it for two days.

  …

   Obtaining father's instructions, Erya and Xiaoli began to learn to weigh while taking care of the pond.

  Wang Zhuangzhi's words misled both of them into thinking that Xiao Duan was just a tall and big man who didn't know how to do these jobs at all. They were afraid that Xiao Duan would give him the wrong weight, and the restaurant would blame him for affecting the business.

   Throughout the whole journey, a few fish were fished out of the fish pond, and they were weighed and learned to recognize them.

  Liu Zhihua went over to give advice from time to time.

  After the head of the house left, she and Jiaojiao found the caterpillar fungus on the mountainside at noon that day, so she was not too busy. In the past two days, she would sew Erya's shoes again. The weather was getting colder, and the shoes that were too thin would freeze her feet in the morning.

  Xiao Li and Jiaojiao's were sewn up yesterday, and Erya and Qiusheng's were sewed today.

  When Xiao Duan came to fetch fish, Liu Zhihua who opened the door was taken aback. The head of the house said that she also thought Xiao Duan was a small helper. She was so tall and strong, and she looked a little bluffing.

  Xiao Duan cupped his fists and said to Liu Zhihua, "I have seen Madam."

  Liu Zhihua was a little embarrassed to be called by his wife, and hurriedly responded: "Oh, good."

  Liu Zhihua led him into the Secondary Courtyard, when Jiaojiao saw him, she waved with a smile and said, "Brother Duan, you are here."

  Xiao Duan clasped his fists and replied: "Yes, Second Miss, I was ordered by my boss to pull fish."

   "Brother Duan!"

  Xiao Li ran out while shouting, followed by Er Ya.

   Xiao Duan cupped his fists, "Second Young Master, Eldest Miss."

  Xiao Li and Erya are still a little uncomfortable with this title. When he followed his father to the pharmacy two days ago, he and Mrs. Guo called them Young Master and Miss.

   Erya scratched her neck, stepped forward and said, "Brother Duan, you are here to catch fish, right? The pond is in the backyard, so come with us."

  Xiao Duan nodded, "OK."

  Erya and Xiao Li took him to the backyard, and Xiao Li said to him, "Brother Duan, don't be afraid. I'll teach you how to use those tools. Don't be afraid if you don't understand them. We're easy to talk to."

   Erya also nodded and said: "Brother Duan, you don't have to be afraid if you don't know how to weigh. We practiced for a day yesterday and have already learned how to weigh. You just need to help fish out the fish, and we will do the rest."

  Short paragraph: "...OK."

   As a result, it usually took half an hour to weigh the fish and pack them into barrels. Today, it took only a cup of tea and was packed by Xiao Duan.

   Erya and Xiao Li looked surprised, he, he, he is so powerful.

  I didn’t use other tools just now, I saw that he tied two stones in the fishing net, and as soon as the fishing net was thrown out, he pulled out a bag of fish.

   Then he carried the steelyard and weighed it skillfully. Erya Xiaoli looked at it several times, and it was exactly one hundred catties.

  Finally, I saw him pouring the fish into the wooden barrel with a fishing net in his big hand, and finally poured two barrels of well water into it. The fish swam happily in it, and he carried the wooden barrel into the carriage by himself.

   During the whole process, Xiao Li and Er Ya watched with wide-eyed eyes, and didn't come back to their senses until the person left.

   Erya sighed and patted Xiao Li and said, "We should learn from his method, it will be faster and easier to pretend."

  Xiao Li clenched his fist and nodded, "I want to eat a lot of meat, and when I grow up, I can grow tall and strong, and then I will be as strong as Xiao Duan."

Erya patted him on the head speechlessly, and educated him earnestly: "When you grow up, my sister will become an old lady. Besides, if we have money to do these heavy jobs in the future, we can spend a little money to hire people to do the work. When the time comes, we will do it." Teach them to do it, and let's move a chair and sit and watch."

  Xiao Li scratched his head, then nodded and said: "Sister is right, but you have to find someone as tall and strong as Xiao Duan."

"As long as there is money, anyone can be hired, so we have to earn a lot of money. When the fish pond is bigger, we will hire a bunch of people to work for us. We sit on the old man's chair and watch them work. This is the life of a happy rich man." Er Ya said proudly.

  Xiao Li's eyes lit up after hearing this, he nodded quickly and said, "Well, Xiao Li listens to my sister."

   "Erya has eaten, hurry up and bring my brother to eat."

  Niang's voice came, and Er Ya and Xiao Li ran into the house.

  …

  After lunch, Jiaojiao was encouraged by Miaomiao to go out again.

  As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw a carriage driving towards the door of the house.

  She hurriedly hid Miaomiao in her arms, and when the carriage got closer, Jiaojiao recognized that it was her uncle who was driving.

   Now that she couldn't go out, she hurried back to the house with Miaomiao in her arms, and waited obediently.

   After a while, the voices of Niang and Aunt Xiu talking could be heard in the yard.

   "Sister, after we left, did anything happen to you?"

"The officers and soldiers came to search once, but nothing happened. At the beginning, I blamed your brother-in-law for meddling in his own business, causing your family to run out to seek refuge. However, that wicked man heard that he was exiled to a very far away place. Looking forward to returning, it can be regarded as a great joy."
