Chapter 24 Bet
The second boy threw the third boy's hand and said: "Third boy, don't talk nonsense, Junni is your sister."
The third boy said stubbornly: "She is a useless girl. Just like her father, she can only read and speak."
"Don't say that to your fourth uncle. Your fourth uncle is a scholar."
"The fourth boy said that scholars only know how to tear up books and articles. I don't believe what this girl said."
The second boy couldn't suppress him and was so anxious that he threatened: "Third boy, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll see if dad doesn't come and beat you." When it came to Dasheng, the third boy didn't dare to say anything more, but he still snorted unconvinced.
The second boy finally stopped the third boy's childish talk and said apologetically: "Fourth uncle, Junni, don't take it to heart. The third boy has never kept his mouth shut, and he talks nonsense all day long."
Even children know that Si Sheng can only "tear books and articles". In order to gain Si Sheng's prestige at home, she even modified this wheelbarrow.
Suxue and the fourth boy walked side by side and asked provocatively: "Third boy, my father and I can make the unicycle more labor-saving. Do you believe it?"
The third boy said scornfully: "I don't believe you lied to a child."
Are you not a child? Suxue pretended to be angry and said: "We can do it. If you don't believe it, why don't we make a bet?"
The second boy hurriedly stopped him: "Juni, don't be as knowledgeable as the third boy."
Suxue smiled and said: "Second brother, don't worry, we are just joking."
When the third boy heard about the bet, he got excited. He pushed the second boy away and said, "Let's bet. What's the bet on?"
Suxue rolled her eyes and said: "If we can make the unicycle more labor-saving, you can call me sister. From now on, you must listen to me in everything, and you are not allowed to say anything about my father tearing up documents and books."
Si Sheng glanced at his daughter with a complicated expression, thinking of the way his brothers looked at him, he said nothing.
The third boy said: "Then what if you lose?"
Suxue raised her eyebrows, "You said?"
"If you lose, call me brother and listen to me in everything."
Suxue grinned, how much this child wanted to be her brother.
The third boy pointed at Wang Zeran again and said: "There is also him, he also wants to listen to me."
Seeing that Suxue was determined to win, Wang Zeran nodded without hesitation.
Suxue: "Okay, it's settled."
"Lagou."
Suxue completed the hooking ceremony with the three boys seriously.
The adults of the Ye family didn't care when they heard the two children's bet, and no one would take the children's words seriously.
At this time, Wang Orion shouted from the front: "Would you like to take a rest?"
Wang Orion's family has passed Niu's family, and Ye's family has reached the front.
Niu Zhixin said: "Have a rest." Everyone behind him also stopped, and finally he could take a rest.
Orion Wang is actually a farmer. In addition to farming, he is also a good hunter, so people in the village call him Orion Wang.
Hunter Wang's family has an extra income from hunting, and their life is more prosperous than that of ordinary farmers.
Orion Wang once rescued a village doctor named Gu when he was hunting. Doctor Gu later married his daughter to Wang Orion's only son Qiangzi, and his daughter-in-law Gu also had some medical skills.
Orion Wang drove a mule cart, with Mrs. Wang and her little granddaughter sitting on the cart; Qiangzi pushed a wheelbarrow, and Mrs. Gu followed the cart with her eldest son Shuanzhu carrying a baggage.
As soon as it stopped, Qiangzi put down the wheelbarrow and helped Wang Orion unload the mules so that the mules could eat some fodder.
Orion Wang stroked the sweaty mule distressedly. The mule couldn't bear it if he didn't rest.
In Wang Orion's view, animals are more valuable than people, and it doesn't matter if people are tired. When an animal falls down, it affects the whole family.
Gu asked Mrs. Wang: "Mom, can we also eat pancakes? I think Ye Xiucai's family eats pancakes."
Mrs. Wang remembered the two pheasants that had just been braised, so she ate pancakes and braised the pheasants**.
Orion Wang thought for a moment and asked, "Would you like to serve a bowl of chicken to Si Sheng's family?"
Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and said nothing, but Gu agreed and said, "It's time to give it away, Dad. I'll go and deliver it later."
When Mrs. Wang wanted to explain the truth at the door of Li Zheng's house, Orion Wang was chatting at Butcher Zhang's house. As soon as Si Sheng came out of Li Zheng's house, Butcher Zhang quietly called him to the house and asked about the details.
Together, he quickly went home to pack his belongings, and then came out with the Ye family and others.
This kid Si Sheng doesn't hide his secrets. If it weren't for Si Sheng, they wouldn't even be able to get the household registration document and road guide.
The Ye family is indeed eating pancakes.
Because the autumn harvest has passed, the Ye family, like the people in Podi Village, eats two meals a day. They haven't eaten anything since noon, and the people haven't stopped. Everyone is hungry.
The women cooked a large pot of cabbage soup, one bowl for each person.
The cabbage would soon wilt and shrink when taken out of the cellar. Mrs. Wang asked Ge to cook and eat the cabbage first, saving the vegetables and grains that could be stored for later consumption.
Mr. Ye doesn't eat pancakes, so every meal is inseparable from steamed buns soaked in sugar water. Mrs. Wang usually lets her daughters-in-law steam the steamed buns alone and prepare them in their dry food bags. At this time, the steamed buns have been delivered to Mr. Ye.
Mrs. Wang opened the package of dry food, took out a stack of pancakes, and distributed them to each person, with an extremely serious and pious expression.
The sons, the eldest son and the second son, each have two pancakes; the daughters-in-law and the third son, Yongan, have one pancake each; and the grandchildren have half a pancake each.
When it was Wang Zeran's turn, Mrs. Wang hesitated and handed him a pancake, then tore off half of it and handed it over.
Suxue looked at the half pancake in her hand, thought of Si Sheng's words, and closed her mouth.
Wang Zeran handed half of the pancake in his hand to Suxue, and Suxue pushed it back: "You can eat it yourself. You know, I have a small appetite."
Suxue doesn't have the time to eat as a main meal. When the time comes, she and Si Sheng will go to the space to eat.
She stuffed half of the pancake into her arms, sat by the fire, holding a stick, and recalled the appearance of wheelbarrows she had seen in modern times.
Wang Zeran walked to the woods by the roadside and took a seat behind a tree. He heard someone talking and squatted there without making a sound.
Mrs. Wang was avoiding people and whispering to Si Sheng, "Si Sheng, why don't you send that Wang boy back? Are you just taking him out like this?"
When Si Sheng asked, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Mom, I was just trying to find time to tell you that Wang Zeran is the son of a distant cousin of the Bai family. Her mother is gone, so the child ran out to find his uncle. As a result,
My uncle didn't find him, so he found the Bai family. If we don't run away, we have to follow him."
Mrs. Wang was silent for a moment and said, "Then are you going to take him with you forever?"
"No way, mother, he is a child of a family, and if we want to keep him, his family won't agree. I'm thinking that when we are stable, we can help him find his uncle. If that doesn't work, I will send him home in the future.
go."
Mrs. Wang worriedly asked: "When will this be taken?"
Si Sheng said: "Mother, you understand better than me how the Bai family treats us."
Mr. Wang said with some embarrassment: "We can't treat the Bai family badly. We can take care of them as long as we can, but he is just a distant cousin of the Bai family."
