Yuan Qiu agreed: "We will definitely come back earlier next time."
Yuan Hao's eyes were slightly red. Since his parents died three years ago, no one has ever cared about them like this. Uncle Zhang's waiting and talking about them made him feel unusually warm.
Uncle Zhang led them into the house. Aunt Zhang was washing Xiaopang's clothes in the backyard. Hearing the sound of their return, she hurriedly entered the house from the backyard, lit an oil lamp, and shouted: "Yuanqiu, you can't do this next time." Returning home late, it’s dark, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and you may encounter vicious beasts, poisonous snakes, etc. This is very dangerous.”
Yuan Qiu responded repeatedly, saying that there would never be a next time, and said seriously that she realized her mistake, and then Aunt Zhang let her go: "You guys go and wash your faces first, I will heat up the food in the stove, and eat quickly Let’s take a rest after dinner.”
After dinner, he left Aunt Zhang's main room and returned to the thatched house where the two siblings lived temporarily. Yuan Hao fell down on the hard bed and sighed: "Sister, am I dreaming? Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang are treating us." It’s really great.”
Yuan Qiu smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's great, so we have to treat them sincerely. I think Xiaopang is not a bad kid. He can play with you again and has a flexible mind. He will go to school next spring. How about taking him with you to keep him company?"
Yuan Hao was so happy that he almost jumped up. He was also thinking about this and didn't know how to ask his sister. Now that her sister had brought it up herself, what else could he do wrong
No surprise. When the siblings woke up early in the morning, they found that their faces and bodies were covered with dirt excreted from the body. It was the same as last time. It was obviously because they drank the ancient spring water yesterday.
The two of them sneaked back to their home while it was still not too bright, washed them thoroughly with water in the backyard tank, and then returned to Aunt Zhang's house.
Aunt Zhang had already cooked the sweet potato porridge. When she saw Yuan Qiu coming over with a smile, she was stunned for a moment, then put down the porridge and rushed to Yuan Qiu. She stared at her face for a long time and murmured: "Hey - It’s really weird, how come your face is so white when you wake up from sleep?”
Yuan Qiu chuckled and interrupted: "Auntie must have never looked at me carefully before. Now that I look at it, I feel something is different."
Aunt Zhang also laughed, said yes with a smile, and called their siblings to have breakfast: "Eat quickly, your uncle has already eaten and went to rent an ox cart. I will ask him to take you to the city later."
Yuan Qiu did not refuse. Thinking of going to Jufulou to send Bi Sanxi away, he said: "Aunt, our wild vegetables are going to Jufulou. I know Boss Xu. He is a nice person. Why don't you mix your dried fish with fresh vegetables?" Bring all the live fish you caught, and I asked Boss Xu to accept them all. If it works, all the fish Uncle Zhang catches can be sent over in the future, and there is no need to sell them in the market and have people pick and choose. Die some.”
Uncle Zhang immediately became happy when he heard this: "Is it really possible? Your uncle was just saying that he didn't catch many fish in the past two days. He wanted to save more and sell them in the market. Otherwise, the money he earned would not be enough to pay. If the stall rental can be sent directly to Jufulou, we can save a lot."
Yuan Qiu nodded: "Boss Xu is a cheerful and good man, he will definitely succeed, don't worry."
After listening to Yuan Qiu's words, Uncle Zhang used a water tank to bring the seven or eight fat fish he had caught in the past two days and two packs of dried fish to the town. The three of them went directly to Jufulou. As soon as she showed up, the big shopkeeper of Jufulou came out and said, "Hey, Miss Xia is here, please come in quickly."
