After talking about the blind date, Zhang Ze took out the seasonings and other things in the bamboo basket and handed them to Zhang's mother: "Mom, the red armband inspection was strict today. After I sold out the fish, I didn't catch any more to continue selling."

"It's not much money. I bought some things and spent about the same. If I have a chance to sell more next time, I'll give you more money."

Without family separation, even if a daughter-in-law marries into the family, the money must be given to the family manager.

Zhang Huihong is the head of the family, so she naturally takes care of the money.

In this way, Zhang Ze can legitimately help his younger brothers and sisters until they can live a stable life.

Of course, if Zhang Zeyu sells a lot, he will keep part of it for himself in the future, so as not to find that he has no money in his pocket when he needs the money.

"Okay, mom will save the money for you to get married first. Now that Awu is still young, mom can't make much money, and she will have to wrong you for a few years."

"When Mom gets old in the future, let your brother take care of me, and Mom will live and eat his food."

Zhang Huihong knows that the family can only rely on her eldest son for the time being, but she doesn't want her eldest son to suffer too much, so she plans to let her younger son share more of the burden when she gets old.

Zhang Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this: "Mom, what are you talking about? It's not right for you to take care of you when you are old. A Wu and I will be filial to you, so stop thinking about such messy things."

While the two were talking, Zhang Wu happened to come back, followed by Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing. All three of them were holding several orange fruits in their hands.

When he saw Zhang Ze, he immediately showed a happy smile: "Brother, look, I picked several 'matchmakers', you can try them."

"Where did you pick so many 'matchmakers'?" Zhang Ze reached out and took a fruit that was larger than the palm of his hand. He squeezed it a little, and the fruit suddenly split open, revealing the blood-red fruits inside. Each one was extremely attractive.

‘Hong Niang’ is just a name in their local dialect. In fact, the fruit that looks very similar to bitter melon is called skinned melon, also known as skinny grape.

It is a plant in the same family as bitter melon, but it is not a bitter melon.

The melon is slightly toxic and cold in nature, so it will be fine if you eat less of it.

"We originally wanted to find some water chestnuts, but we found these 'matchmakers' while walking along the river."

Zhang Wu and others put all the fruits on the table, and then gathered around the bamboo basket.

After finding candies and candied haws, the three of them happily distributed their things and sweetly said thank you, brother.

Seeing the happy smiles of his family, Zhang Ze himself was very satisfied.

Then he pointed to the textbooks in the bamboo basket and said, "I bought the textbooks. We will study by ourselves when we have time. I will follow you at home."

"When school starts in the second half of the year, Awu will go to school, but he will also study with us during this period."

Zhang Qian and the other three nodded repeatedly. They had never been exposed to reading, but their enthusiasm for learning was still very high at this moment.

So now that there was still some time before dinner, they didn't even bother to eat sweets, so they all took out their textbooks and said they would study immediately.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze simply went to teach them how to learn, starting with Pinyin.

After teaching him a few times, Zhang Wu looked at him in surprise: "Brother, how come you know Pinyin?"

Before Zhang Ze could answer, Zhang Qian rubbed his head and laughed softly: "Brother, he went to elementary school for a few years..."

There is a strong preference for boys over girls in rural areas. Although the atmosphere in Qinghe Village is better than that in many places, no family with an eldest son would allow a girl to go to school.

That's why Zhang Qian, who is only two years younger than Zhang Ze, has never read a book, not even in the first grade of elementary school.

"From now on, as long as you want to study, I will let you continue reading."

Zhang Ze smiled and made a promise, then continued to teach them Pinyin.

The afternoon was spent quickly studying.

After dinner in the evening, Zhang Ze had no intention of letting them continue studying.

The main reason is that there is no electricity at home yet and we use kerosene lamps. Reading at night is not good for our eyes.

In addition, he thought that he was going to the beach tomorrow, so he asked Zhang Wu beside him: "Awu, brother is going to the beach tomorrow, do you want to come with him?"

"Brother, aren't you going to sell fish tomorrow?" Zhang Wu, who had just eaten a piece of candy and was about to put the candy wrapper away, raised his head in confusion.

"Well, are you coming?"

"Come on, brother, you must call me tomorrow!"

"Then go and ask your two sisters if they want to come together."

"I'll go right away."

Zhang Wu couldn't even take care of the sweets and hurriedly ran to another room.

After a short while, he ran back with excitement on his face: "Brother, the second sister and the third sister all said they would come with us."

"Okay, I understand. Come out with me and we'll get some straw ropes."

"okay!"

Going to the beach tomorrow, Zhang Wu was full of motivation and immediately followed him outside the house.

The straw rope was made of straw, but he didn't care about the quality of the straw rope he might use tomorrow, so he used a sickle to cut some long weeds and braided the three pieces together to make a straw rope.

After weaving, he took three more wild grasses and connected them to extend the length.

Such a straw rope is very thin and is just right for tying blue crabs.

Zhang Wu looked puzzled: "Brother, these straw ropes of yours are not strong, what are they for?"

"I don't need to be strong. You will know tomorrow, so don't ask any more questions."

"oh..."

Then Zhang Wu followed him to weave straw ropes conscientiously, not much, only about a dozen two-meter-long straw ropes, and then the two of them took the ropes back home.

The next day, at dawn, Zhang Ze woke up naturally again.

He glanced at the sky, sighed, and then turned around to find Zhang Wu sleeping like a pig.

He immediately stood up and stepped on his face with the sole of his foot: "Awu, get up quickly. How did you manage to sleep at such a young age?"

"Woo~"

Zhang Wu was stepped on in the face and couldn't breathe. He danced around for a while, and finally managed to break free from someone's feet that had just been soaked in Hong Kong Island. Then he lay on the bedside and retched!

"yue~"

In fact, Zhang Ze’s feet are not that smelly. It’s just that he has been walking a lot recently, so a little bit of athlete’s foot is normal.

Zhang Wu, a half-year-old child, was originally very capable of sleeping, but after being tossed by him like this, he immediately woke up.

"Brother, you went too far. You even stepped on me with the sole of your foot!"

Facing his brother's angry look, Zhang Ze chose to turn a blind eye: "Go and wake up your two sisters."

Zhang Wu had nothing to do with his own brother, but when he heard that he was asked to wake up his sister, he rolled his eyes, agreed and immediately ran into the next room happily.

Just as Zhang Ze was brushing his teeth in the yard with a toothbrush, screams and curses suddenly rang out in the room.

Then Zhang Wu suddenly opened the door and ran out, looking panicked.

Zhang Zezheng was surprised at what he had done, and then he saw the old mother's clothes and hair were messy, as if she had put her clothes on in a hurry and chased her out.

She held a stick in her hand and went to catch Zhang Wu while cursing.

"How courageous are you, little brat? How dare you fart in my face!"
