After appreciating his younger brother's anxious appearance, Zhang Baoguo rolled over quietly.
"Okay, stop teasing you, what do you want me to see?"
Zhang Weiguo was waiting for his words, and immediately turned to the position he had memorized by heart, and pointed to him: "Brother, look here."
Looking at his name, Zhang Baoguo smiled: "Your draft has been passed, congratulations, keep up the good work!"
He smiled sincerely.
He is really happy for his brother.
"Come on, let me see which one it is." He has read all the articles written by Zhang Weiguo, but he doesn't know which one he wrote.
"It turned out to be this one. The wording of this one is a bit immature, but I didn't expect this one to be over."
Zhang Weiguo laughed: "I didn't expect that, my mother said that the writing is childlike."
Also: "Let's go over to Grandpa's place after dinner, I want to tell Grandpa the good news!" At that time, the article written by the eldest brother and mother was published in the newspaper. Grandpa and the others were so happy and showed off many times. take it.
He also wants them to praise him, hehehe.
Although he didn't say it clearly, that's what he meant, looking at his secretly smug expression.
Zhang Baoguo rubbed his hair vigorously, making his hair into a chicken coop.
"Okay, let's go to grandpa's place after dinner, and tell him about this happy event."
This meal was eaten very quickly, because after Zhang Weiguo was full quickly, he would look at you eagerly, and he would feel burdened if he didn't eat fast.
They finished their dinner quickly and went to the old house. At this time, they hadn't finished eating yet, so they were a little surprised to see them coming.
Li Manfen: "What's the matter?" If it's not for something, I won't come over during the meal.
Everyone pays more attention to rations.
Zhang Gen put down his chopsticks and looked at Wei Guo who was at the head, without asking, but the meaning was the same: What's wrong
Zhang Weiguo: "No, no, Grandpa, I'm here to tell you something." Zhang Weiguo ran in front, and Zhang Baoguo followed closely behind him, saying this for him: "He also has an article in the newspaper. I passed the election, and I came here specially to announce the good news to you, take a look, this is it."
Zhang Weiguo handed the newspaper to Grandpa
Hearing this, Zhang Gen immediately put down his chopsticks, stopped eating, went over to look for his grandson's name, and sure enough, he found his name on it: "Wei Guo! Hahaha, good job! Are you ten or eleven years old? Promising, if you are..." He knew that the last sentence was not appropriate, so he swallowed it back. If this was in the previous era, he would be a young wit , It is the talent who the examiner takes the imperial examination and changes the lintel.
Zhang Weiguo had been expecting his grandfather to praise him, but now he felt a little shy: "... I am eleven years old this year."
Zhang Gen waved his hand: "So what about eleven years old? They are still young." No matter ten or eleven years old, they are all young talents.
It seems that their Zhang family's ancestral graves are really well chosen. There was Zhang Baoguo before, and now there is Zhang Weiguo. Hahaha, more paper money must be burned for the ancestors.
Zhang Quan didn't speak, just looked enviously at the name of his nephew next to Zhang Gen.
That's great, the second brother is really blessed. When he was alive, he was upright. He went, and the son he left behind was also upright. It would be great if his son could also appear on the top.
Once is fine.
His envious eyes stabbed Zhang Jinhua deeply.
He is 15 years old this year, but he lost to his 11-year-old cousin. All these years of his life have been spent on dogs.
He glanced at Zhang Baoguo who was smiling at the side. It was him before, but now it is Zhang Weiguo. Did he do something wrong
Thinking of the hard work of working in the field all day today.
What about hard work in the field? He should be like his father in the future, diligent and diligent, holding a hoe and a sickle all his life. This kind of life can be seen at a glance, but what about Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo.
At their age, there are already articles serialized in newspapers. Their future will definitely not be limited to land, right
What will happen to them after they graduate
Maybe they will stay in the town as a matter of course, just like the little uncle, find a job in the town, settle down in the town, and then draw a clear boundary with this place, the city people and the country people, One is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
Is he willing
He was not reconciled, the food in his mouth suddenly lost its taste, and he didn't know what he was eating. For a moment, he was a little absent-minded.
Li Manfen leaned over to look while holding the rice bowl.
She didn't know how to read, but she followed along to watch the fun, grinning. Although this was not her favorite grandson, Wei Guo was also her grandson, so there was one more thing to show off.
Her grandson is capable!
Zhang Fenghua didn't know about this, but he also knew that the second aunt left for a while at noon, so that's what happened, the second aunt went to the post office in the town, it's really great, Wei Guo has been diligent and diligent for so long She is watching the perseverance of writing articles.
Compared with Baoguo, it seems that he has given up. The amount and energy spent are far inferior to him.
Wei Guo is really good, he is only in the fifth grade now, if he hadn't skipped a grade, he should be in the third grade now, just like her.
Zhang Fenghua was a little envious, although she couldn't envy her, she knew how much effort he put in.
I glanced at my mother, and then at my younger sister. She didn't have so much time to study. She had to work at home and tutor her two younger sisters.
The mother did not agree to let the two of them go to school, and she could only rely on her if she wanted to avoid being blind.
She has to spend time and effort teaching them, these are unavoidable, and she can only be more serious, work harder and improve efficiency in the future.
Take your time, don't compare yourself with others, compare yourself, surpass yourself a little bit, she can do it.
Zhang Fenghua worked hard to adjust his mood.
At this time Zhang Gen greeted her: "Fenghua, go to the next door to see if your uncle and the others have finished their meal? Tell them about it."
Not long after, Zhang Gui and Zhou Xiaoqing came over with the child in their arms. Zhou Xiaoqing's gaze met Su Hui's and she avoided it.
She didn't want to meet her eyes.
She rubbed her stomach, lowered her head slightly, her hair fell down naturally, covering most of her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
When they were first published in the newspaper, she secretly wrote an article to contribute, but so far, there has been no splash, and a lot of postage has been spent in vain.
In stark contrast to her, Su Hui only appeared in the newspaper every once in a while, and she didn't say anything. If she didn't look it up by herself, she wouldn't know that her name had appeared so many times.
This rural sister-in-law, whom she had ignored before, can not only subsidize her living expenses by submitting articles, but also earn enough prestige to gain everyone's respect.
In front of her, her advantages are gone.
At first, she was proud.
She has capital proudly.
She is a girl from the city, even if she goes to the countryside, her knowledge and vision are not comparable to that of the country people.
She has the highest degree of education—a high school graduate, one of the few rural people who have gone to high school.
She is good-looking and has been praised since she was a child.
After meeting Su Hui, her pride was blown away a little as soon as they met. Su Hui also looks good, not the same type as her, but she is still a beauty.
Then, she married Zhang Gui, another point of pride was gone, she married a countryman.
The only thing that still maintains an advantage is her education, which is about to be equalized. This year, she should be able to get her high school diploma.
The certificate belongs to the certificate, she doesn't want to admit it, but the fact is that she surpasses herself in terms of literary talents. She submits articles to newspapers, and often has articles that have been published, but when she comes to her, there is no article. In front of her, she loses completely.
The baby in her stomach moved at this time, and she quickly reached out her hand to stroke it soothingly.
No, she's not a complete failure.
Looking at the curvature of her belly, and then at Zhang Gui, her man is still there, but her man is no longer there.
Even if she is strong, even if she doesn't care, there must be all kinds of inconvenience for a woman to live with four children. She must be very strong, and she doesn't want to tell outsiders, so as not to make people laugh. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoqing The depressed mood got better. At this time, the child kicked in her stomach. Zhou Xiaoqing let out a cry of pain, and touched and touched comfortingly. This child is naughty, and it will be born in a few months. Let's give birth early, toss She is choking.
Zhang Gui stood behind Zhang Gen and looked at the newspaper: "Where is it? Where is Wei Guo's name?"
Zhang Gen: "Where are your eyes looking? It's here." Zhang Gen pointed to him.
Zhang Gui: "Young man, you're doing well." He glanced at the name on it, and he showed his big white teeth: "In two years, when your little brother is old, it's time to go to school. Please teach me more." He, let me also enjoy the honor of my son's name appearing in the newspaper, if there is such a day, my uncle will kill chickens to buy meat for you, and make delicious food! What you say is true!"
Zhang Quan also wanted to say this very much, but he looked at his children. His eldest son had stopped studying, but his eldest daughter was still studying, but she was a daughter, so how could she have such literary talent
Not to mention the two young ones below, they never went to serious school.
They are not too old, and they can regenerate if they want to, but the reality is that there is no way. His wife hurt her body when she gave birth to Xiaohua, and the doctor said that she can't regenerate. It has always been light.
They have only one son, and they are alone.
At this time, everyone pays attention to having more children and more blessings. No matter how many daughters are born, they will all be from other families.
When they get married, Jinhua will be alone.
No brothers to help.
It's easy to be bullied.
Just like the situation of supporting Zhang Lan this time, if there is only one brother, the momentum will not be able to support it, and we can only build a good relationship with the children of the second brother. The cousins get along well, and they are similar to brothers .
There are four over there, plus the younger brother's son, there will be six. The six brothers form a rope, and any family that wants to bully has to weigh it.
Zhang Jinhua didn't know what he was anymore, he kept paying attention to the situation of his parents, and his mother said a few words of congratulations, then she didn't talk much after that, she seemed a little bit unmotivated.
She has always had some conflicts with her second aunt. She wants to be strong, and wants to make her really happy, unless his name appears in the newspaper.
And Dad, after his uncle's words, he glanced at their siblings with regret in his eyes.
Zhang Jinhua squeezed the chopsticks tightly, did he do something wrong
Could it be that he should have studied hard when he was in school, and then went to junior high school with Baoguo
He doesn't miss it, but if he misses it, he believes that if he proposes to continue to study, his parents, grandparents and grandparents will support him.
It's almost a year now, and he wants to go back to study, is there still time
He didn't go to school seriously after primary school, how much do he still remember
If he went back to study, would he be able to catch up with them and change his fate
This incident has scratched a shallow scratch in his heart, maybe the scratch will disappear after a while, or maybe, as time goes by, it will become deeper.
On the other side, Zhang Weiguo was surrounded by grandpa and the others, the uncle's compliment was straightforward, making him blush, on the other side Zhang Xiaohua pulled Zhang Baoguo beside him, with yearning in his eyes.
In a low voice: "...Brother, do you think I can let my name appear on it in the future?"
Zhang Xiaohua still doesn't know much about newspapers, and she doesn't have a very clear concept. They only got a vague idea after listening to the elder sister say something they knew and saw from the newspaper. In her mind, the newspaper is a It's a magical thing, there are many good articles on it, and it is omniscient, with a lot of novel knowledge, it is a very amazing thing.
After this impression was formed, Zhang Baoguo's name appeared on it, which suddenly lowered the impression a lot. Now, after pulling down the altar, both of them are familiar to her, not far away, but down-to-earth The older brother who played and lived together. There is no sense of awe generated by the ethereal distance.
If the two brothers can do it, then can she do it too
She also wanted to be praised and affirmed by her grandpa and the others.
But if it wasn't so amazing, would Grandpa and the others be so happy
She doesn't know anymore.
If she said this, she would be laughed at. Didn't she know that the sky is high and the earth is thick
Sensitive and somewhat inferior, but really wanted to know, so he asked Zhang Baoguo in a low voice.
Zhang Baoguo didn't know how to answer her for a while. Uncle and uncle didn't plan to send the two younger ones to study, but let Fenghua teach them. This matter is not a secret at all, and it is not something to be ashamed of. It's all too common.
The uncle's family is willing to let Fenghua study until he graduates from elementary school. This is already very willing. Many people go to school just to study a few grades, learn common words and arithmetic, and then go home. More girls are not sent to school at all. , Some even do not send boys to school, thinking that learning is useless.
However, as far as he knows, being stimulated by his article in the newspaper, many people asked about their mother, planning to send their school-age children to school at the beginning of the new school year. A goal, and then honor the ancestors.
Will her name appear in the newspaper
He doesn't know, but is it possible
have.
He squatted down and looked at her eye level: "I can't give you an accurate answer, but if you work hard and don't give up, it will be possible. If you give up, it will be impossible. What do you encounter in your studies? If you don’t understand, ask your sister, you can also ask me, if I don’t understand, I’ll ask my mother, my mother knows more than me.”
Zhang Xiaohua's eyes seem to be shining, is it possible for her too
Does it mean that one day, mom and dad might praise her like brother Weiguo now? Are you sure about her
Zhang Xiaohua, who was the most neglected among the four brothers and sisters, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak, and could only nod fiercely: "Yeah!"
She won't give up!
Hearing what he said, Zhang Jinhua walked over, squatted down, and looked at Zhang Baoguo seriously: "Then do you think it's possible for me
…
There was a scene similar to the last time, Zhang Gen asked Wei Guo to leave a copy for them to collect, the collection was true, and it was true to show off.
This is something that Zhang Weiguo likes to hear, and he cherishes a newspaper to him.
After that, I will send two samples. There was a special explanation before that if his work is accepted, I will buy an extra copy, which will be paid out of his remuneration, so I will send three copies.
One is for grandpa, the other is for grandpa, and the other is for myself.
Zhang Gen took the newspaper of his grandson the next day, and when everyone was gathering, he deliberately found two difficult characters and asked those who could read: "What is this character? What does it mean?"
Then when they answered the question, they "accidentally" said: "Oh, this is an article written by my grandson Weiguo. He is still young, and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He dares to submit an article to a newspaper at such a young age. I don’t know what kind of luck he had, but he paid it off, no, the newspaper office sent over the manuscript fee and the sample issue, I don’t know some characters, so I’ll ask you guys.”
Zhang Baoguo's newspaper was still on the shelf in the living room of his house before, but he purposely built a high shelf for that newspaper, just to prevent children from being ignorant and tearing up the newspaper, and the place is absolutely It is conspicuous, and anyone who enters can see it at a glance.
That was a topic he never tires of talking about, and now there is one more topic.
The bystanders were surprised: "Really? Let me see."
Looking at it, I saw Zhang Weiguo's name, envious and jealous: "What's the situation with your family? I remember last time it was Baoguo of your second family, right? Now it's Weiguo again, he seems to be very young ah."
Someone didn't know: "Still very young? That kid, isn't he young?"
Someone just laughed: "Their brother draws fast, he is only 10 years old now."
"No, no." Zhang Gen corrected: "I'm 11 years old this year."
Others snorted, "What's the difference between 11 years old and 10 years old? Now that you're capable, are you proud? You have to train him well."
"I remember skipping two grades, and that's what I was eating."
Some inquired about the location of his family's ancestral grave: "Where is your father's and your grandfather's grave?"
There is an elderly person at home, and it is almost enough, maybe you can find a place nearby
When asked about this, Zhang Gen said go ahead, he didn't tell them.
But if he doesn't tell, it's not impossible for them to know.
Because everyone's ancestors are buried in the same mountain, you can find them after a couple of careful searches.
But at this time, it is not allowed to talk about feudal superstition, but I just know it well.
Others inquired about his family's ancestral grave, not for this purpose, but to verify that his family is now like this, so is his family's ancestral grave emitting green smoke
Li Manfen's side was similar, but Zhao Laidi's side was not very happy.
"Hehe, how do you feel now? Are you sour?"
"Well, my four sons, now I see that both of them are promising."
"I still remember what you said at that time, are you slapped in the face now?"
…
At that time Zhang Baoguo made a lot of votes but failed to win, and Zhao Laidi made sarcastic remarks a lot.
Zhao Laidi felt suffocated when she heard this, but she didn't say a word and just kept working.
I was really impatient to hear it, so I went to Li Manfen's side. She would rather listen to their exaggerated Weiguo in different ways than stay here and listen to their sarcasm.
These people, their friendship was not bad before, and they often got together to gossip about who's family. Later, Su Hui directly sued the police. Afterwards, they came back and dragged Zhao Laidi into the water. She joked, so why don't they say a few more sarcastic remarks
…
Zhang Weiguo spent a pleasant morning at school. He was surrounded by his classmates every time between classes. Not only his friends cared about him, but even his teacher cared about it, asking him several times in detail.
The teacher's amiable appearance greatly satisfied his self-esteem.
Today Su Hui prepared a sumptuous meal to reward him, this is his reward, and specially made his favorite stewed rice.
Steamed peas, diced bacon and sausage, shredded salted fish, shredded squid, yuba, diced cucumber, and bean drum, etc. are stewed together with glutinous rice, and finally a little soy sauce is added for color. The aroma is tangy .
After mixing evenly, the mouth has the elasticity of squid, the salty fragrance of salted fish, the crispness of cucumber...and the fragrant glutinous rice that has absorbed so many ingredients.
Zhang Weiguo eats flowers all over his body, it's delicious, it's so delicious!
Please forgive his lack of language at this time, only these two words are left in his brain repeatedly.
This is delicious, but it is a bit troublesome to make. Mom rarely makes it. He has been thinking about it for a long time, and it is still as delicious as he remembers, which is great.
After enjoying lunch, he took his two younger brothers to show off to his grandparents, no, it was for praise, or to share the joy.
…
Zhang Lan intends to live in the town for a few days. There are two main reasons. One is freshness. They finally bought a house here and spent all their wealth.
The other is to avoid the gossip in the village, and the time she went back to pack her things, the news spread almost everywhere, and people kept coming to her house to "caring and caring", which was very annoying.
It’s okay to live in the city for a few days. With the help of her mother’s family, she went to the recycling station to buy some things, and then her father put together a big bed, a small bed, and a box without a lid. There is also a table and a bench, which are enough for daily use.
The two of them sleep in a big bed, and two small ones sleep in a small bed. Although this bed is a bit ugly, some of the boards are missing a piece, it will be sunken, the table is not very good-looking, and there is one stool. Four people can only sit for two. Personal, but it doesn't matter, as long as you have a bed to sleep in, you can squat down to eat if you don't have a place to eat.
The children are still in school, but the primary school in the village is not strictly managed. It is enough to ask for leave if something happens, and there are basically no cases where they cannot be hired.
On the first night of staying here, listening to the chirping of insects outside, both husband and wife tossed and turned. The chirping of insects here was not as lively as that at their house, and it was too monotonous for them to get used to.
Then the next day Liu He went to the part-time job place, holding the freshly baked household registration book.
The relationship has already been established before, so it went smoothly. After all, he has been working here for several years. The face of the nobleman who helped Liu He.
A temporary worker, just like that.
Knowing the confirmed news, Zhang Lan happily took out the preserved sausage, and the family had a good meal.
The matter has settled down, and after staying here for a few days, Zhang Lan can't bear it anymore. She was also interested in taking her children to go out for a stroll before. It's not like she hasn't gone shopping before, but now they have a home here. I don't think so. It’s the same, it’s a place that you’re not unfamiliar with before, and you can find something new if you go shopping now, but the town is not big after all, so what else can you do after seeing it
She didn't know anyone here, neither did the two children. After staying for four days, she wanted to go back no matter what.
She'd better go back and work in the fields to earn work points, and she still owes her natal family fifty yuan.
However, her natal family is so generous and has contributed so much, she couldn't go back empty-handed to thank her. She reluctantly bought some pastries and divided them into three parts, one for her parents, one for Su Hui, and one for Zhang Gui. .
After she went back, some people talked about it badly, and they didn't want to talk about it anymore. They got bored and quieted down a lot. Although there were still people who wanted to ask the bottom of the casserole, the number decreased, which made her feel relieved. tone.
Sometimes when she thinks about it, she regrets exposing her family scandal in public, but after comparing the results, she doesn't regret it. Now seeing their faces, she feels sick. Now that they are not moving around, and they haven't come, she won't past.
I should go back during the holidays, after all, there is a mother-in-law there.
But she is not young anymore, when she leaves, it is estimated that my brother will become a passerby, maybe even worse than a passerby.
Packing up and bringing pastries to her mother's house, she happened to catch up with this wave of craze, she opened her mouth to praise, she looked at Baoguo and Weiguo brothers, she thought everything was good.
Then look at your own children, why is it so unpleasant
She thought the same as Zhang Gui, they are so capable, can they teach his two children.
Although the grades of the two of them are the same, as parents, they have a kind of confidence in their children. As long as the children are willing to learn, they will definitely learn well.
Then she asked, and Zhang Weiguo thought it was nothing when she asked. There were many people who asked, but most of them didn't have anything to say. He reported their study time, and this report successfully made Zhang Lan mutter.
It takes so long to study this day, is there still time to work in the fields to earn work points
She hesitated and struggled.
Her two children, the older one is the same age as Zhang Weiguo, and they will work in the fields to earn work points when they don't go to school in the afternoon. The younger daughter is not yet ten years old, but there are many jobs outside the house.
If Wei Guo had said this time, he would not have so much time to work. There are only a few people in the family, each has something to do, and no one can replace the other.
She didn't struggle with it for a long time. When she went back, she said that the two children shook their heads quickly. They would rather work in the fields than read books. What's so good about books is what's so fun about working! It is very annoying to spend half a day in class. I don't want to work. Everyone talks and laughs, and I can often be lazy to do other things.
Seeing that the two children were unwilling, Liu He didn't want to force it: "Forget it, our family doesn't have the muscle to read. Your second sister-in-law is a teacher herself, and she raises a son like a mother. Look at my family and yours. Is there anyone who reads?"
This makes sense.
Seeing that none of them had the will, Zhang Lan could only give up.
Forget it, it's better to work hard to turn Liu He's temporary job into a regular job, and then this job can be passed on.
…
This time, Zhang Weiguo finally got what Zhang Weiguo wanted, and the words of praise made him feel elated.
The walking posture is different, and from time to time at home, he suddenly burst into laughter. One day or two is fine, and three days are still the same. Zhang Dingguo expressed his disgust: "Second brother, are you happy?"
Zhang Weiguo raised his chin and said with an air, "Happy!"
Zhang Dingguo nodded: "Do you think you are a little abnormally happy?"
Zhang Weiguo wondered: "What's wrong with me?"
Zhang Baoguo glanced at him lightly: "It's not normal, you're a little drifting."
Zhang Weiguo scratched his head: "Am I floating?"
Seeing his puzzled eyes, Zhang Baoguo raised his eyebrows: "In this case, let me ask you a question. What will you decide to write next? I voted for one at that time, but I haven't done it since then. Don't be like me." .”
Zhang Anguo couldn't agree more: "Mom has been fucked so many times, do you think Mom has ever been proud?"
Zhang Dingguo: "That's right, second brother, you are too unstable."
Next? Unsteady
Zhang Weiguo listened, touched his heart, and recalled the past few days. Too bad, he couldn't remember what he had done, as if he was praised wherever he went.
The only thing in my mind is their praise of myself.
Seeing him like this, Su Hui also asked him a question: "What is the homework assigned by your teacher this morning?"
After hearing this, Zhang Weiguo's expression went blank: "Did the teacher assign homework today?"
After getting an affirmative answer, Zhang Weiguo covered his head: "I'll think about it carefully."
Too bad, except for homework, he can't remember what the teacher said these days.
Why did he go to class
He didn't seem to be doing anything, just sitting in his seat, but what the teacher said seemed to be automatically changed into another language he didn't understand, and after a slight collision in the cerebral cortex, he drifted away.
Su Wei was not surprised by his performance. His temperament was not as mature as Zhang Baoguo's. It is only natural for a child of this age to be exaggerated by everyone's praise. Down to earth.
Su Hui took out two lists: "This is the task I assigned to you, and I will give you three days to make up for it." This is what he has been missing these days, and: "You take time to find your Grandpa Wen, you It’s been a while, he knew the good news, but you didn’t tell him personally, he is also your teacher, besides, have you finished the questions he gave you?”
Zhang Weiguo: "It's done, it's done." Zhang Weiguo nodded again and again. This time he gave him a week. To forget.
He has always been a good boy who turned in his homework on time, and he didn't want to know what would happen if he was late.
Because my mother is a teacher, I have developed a good habit of being a teacher, and there is no such thing as evasion and sophistry.
After being awakened by his family, Zhang Weiguo finally woke up.
People are exaggerated too much, which is really not good for growth. What hurt Zhongyong is a lesson from the past.
Zhang Weiguo clenched his fist, he wanted to be down-to-earth, and the eldest brother only passed once, if he passed twice, wouldn't it mean that he surpassed the eldest brother? !
Thinking of this, he ignited endless motivation.
In daily training, he was beaten by his elder brother every day, and he felt very frustrated. Now that he thinks that there is one thing he can beat his elder brother, he must not let it go.
He was thinking of surpassing his eldest brother here, while Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dinguo were also working hard on the other side.
There are five members of the family, and now three of them have been in the newspaper, but two of them have not, how can this work
Their study time has been extended, and even when they go out to play, they will say a few words, which makes Zhang Weiguo feel a sense of crisis, and the sense of urgency to be chased by his younger brother who skipped a grade and become classmates with them.
No, absolutely not, he is the second brother, he wants to keep his dignity and prestige as the second brother, and he also needs to spend more time studying! Can't lose to my brother!
At this time, he forgot his goal of surpassing his elder brother.
People are always "double standard".
…
After school that day, Zhang Baoguo trotted back home. As soon as he got home, Dawei greeted him first, wagging his tail cheerfully and rubbing against his feet.
Zhang Baoguo patted its head, stroked its fur for a while, and closed the courtyard door.
They didn't have the habit of closing the door casually before, but since they moved to their new home here, they all have this habit.
As soon as he entered the house, he could smell the fragrance of home.
smell good!
There was no one in the hall, so he went to the kitchen, and sure enough, his mother and three younger brothers were all here.
This is also the source of the fragrance.
"I'm back."
Zhang Weiguo was the closest to him, and he turned his head when he heard the voice: "Brother, you are back, mom made a lot of delicious food today."
Zhang Anguo nodded frequently, while touching his mouth, it was fine, not drooling, the scent was really alluring, he was well-tested, he almost lost face here unexpectedly.
The closer you get, the stronger the scent.
"What does mom make? It smells so good."
Zhang Dingguo was lighting the fire, and answered him: "Mom went to the mountain today and got a good harvest. She caught two pheasants, two fish, and a small wild boar. The pig was not big, weighing more than ten catties. Mom said it was suitable for roast suckling pig. And chicken soup."
The two fish were kept in the tank first, and one of the two pheasants was killed, some medicinal materials were put in, and it was simmered over a low fire. He is standing in front of the stove now, and the fragrance has been burrowing into his nose.
Zhang Anguo watched over the fire of the roast suckling pig. The piglet had its stomach ripped open and was stretched open with a wire. Su Hui brushed layer after layer of sauce on it.
Zhang Anguo didn't know what kind of sauce those were, but after brushing them on, they became more and more fragrant and attractive.
"Mom's harvest today is good. I'll cook something delicious for you. It's almost ready. Go wash your hands and clean up the table."
As soon as Su Hui spoke, they responded one after another, those who washed their hands washed their hands, and those who took the bowls and chopsticks took the bowls and chopsticks.
Today's main course is roast suckling pig, and the pheasant herbal soup is not bad either. The medicinal materials in it are grown by herself in the mustard space, and she also put some diluted spirit spring.
In addition to these two, there is also a hot seasonal vegetable, and a stir-fried bamboo shoot with rice.
The four brothers swallowed secretly.
Usually it is not without meat, but it is not very common to eat big fish and big meat.
Today's roast suckling pig weighs about ten catties.
Su Hui cut the roast suckling pig into pieces of similar size with a knife, and then mixed two kinds of sauces, one was sweet and spicy sauce, and the other was sweet and spicy sauce.
She also fished out the whole pheasant that was cooking soup, took out the medicinal materials inside, and pulled it lightly, and the chicken wings were separated from the body.
While drinking the soup and eating delicious food, there was always a faint smile on the corner of Su Hui's mouth, showing the master's good mood.
The four brothers looked at it and thought that her good mood was because of today's harvest, but it was not.
Instead, she got a mutated herb in a valley deep in the mountains. It was an ordinary and common medicinal herb, but it mutated. When Su Hui found it, it seemed that it was only a few days away from withering. Because of its mutation, the soil cannot provide it with sufficient nutrients.
Su Hui moved it into the Mustard Seed Space, and poured it with the Lingquan mixed with water, and immediately became much more energetic.
The mutation has not been completed yet, and when it is completed, there is a high probability that it will become a panacea.
No matter how low its grade is, it is a panacea.
The mustard space is bound to her soul, but there are not many spiritual plants in it. The old ones are too old, and she can't use them now.
Although the grade is low now, it is suitable for her current situation, which is the reason for her good mood today.
This meal, the four children were full, and each of them supported their stomachs to walk around to digest their food.
Today Zhang Baoguo was in charge of washing the dishes. He cleaned the dishes and put them back. Seeing the smile on his mother's face, he also grinned.
Hiccup, I really ate too much today.
"Mom, tomorrow is a day off, where are you going?"
"I will continue to work hard and go to the mountains." Her gains today are more than what she brought back.
The little piggy followed behind the big pig.
Now those harvests are piled up in the mustard space.
Zhang Baoguo nodded and continued to work hard, he understood, but: "If there is still something to gain, should we still eat it by ourselves
It can be exchanged for things. I am very happy to eat, and I have to worry about financial problems at home.
Today's Zhang Baoguo is also worried about his family's financial situation.
Su Hui nodded: "I know."
Besides, why did she enter the mountain this time
It was because the two-month date with Shen's grandfather and grandson in the provincial capital was up, and she went to the mountains to replenish the treasury, and she did not expect that there would be a surprise.
Even if she didn't get what she wanted when she went to the provincial capital tomorrow, she was satisfied.
Of course, the best thing is to have both.
