When Xiao Yougen came back from the county town, it was already dark.
This was because Xiao Yougen was lucky and happened to catch a passing ox cart. He spent a few pennies to get back by car, otherwise he would have to get home in the middle of the night.
Su Ruanruan didn't know this, and she didn't see Xiao Chengjin when she got up the next day. He had already had breakfast and went to school with his things.
Although the distance between the two villages was not very far, Xiao Yougen was still worried about Xiao Chengjin going alone, so he got up early and personally sent Xiao Chengjin to the school before returning.
Xiao Chengjin couldn't defeat Xiao Yougen and had no choice but to let him send it away.
Xiao Chengjin thought that in two days, after Xiao Yougen was sure that there would be no danger on the road, he would probably be relieved to go to the school alone.
Xiao Chengjin was away, so Su Ruanruan didn't have to go to the village chief's grandfather to learn calligraphy, and she had no interest in going into the mountains to find medicinal herbs. She could only focus on her four brothers and encourage them to learn the Thousand-Character Classic as soon as possible.
There are many boys in the Su family, four in total. Even the eldest Su Laifu is not very old.
In this case, bias is not good.
After Su Dahe and Su Cangshan discussed it, they decided to wait until after the summer harvest and the family had more money, and then send the four of them to school together. Then they would be able to accompany Xiao Chengjin and go to and from school together to avoid being caught by others. Bully.
Su Ruanruan didn't expect to have to wait so long. As long as the strawberries were ripe, the family's income would naturally be more, and then they would be able to send their four brothers to study.
After Xiao Chengjin was not at home, Xiao Da Niu's four sisters took care of the strawberries and watermelons of the Xiao family. However, Su Ruanruan would still follow Xiao Chengjin through the fields after Xiao Chengjin came back and touch every plant. Touching, of course, is to fertilize them.
In his spare time, Xiao Chengjin explained to Su Ruanruan what he had learned in school, and then led Su Ruanruan to recite and write silently.
Pens, ink, and paper are very expensive things, and Su Ruanruan doesn't have to take exams. Now that her family's conditions are not good, of course she doesn't know how to use paper to write. She still writes and draws on the ground with branches.
As time goes by, the small white flowers of the strawberry wither, revealing the small green fruit inside.
The strawberries grow up day by day, changing from green to white, and then from white to red little by little.
The weather this year is really good, with good wind and rain. Coupled with Su Ruanruan's diligent weeding and fertilizing, the strawberries are growing quite well.
Just a few days into May, Su Ruanruan discovered that a batch of strawberries were ripe and ready for picking.
Ripe strawberries are all about the same size, bright red and eye-catching.
Su Ruanruan liked eating strawberries very much, but at this time, she knew she had to sell them first, so she just picked a few and gave one to everyone in the family to let them taste the taste of strawberries.
In fact, as the strawberries grew up day by day, Su Laixi had already set his sights on strawberries and wanted to pick them and eat them. If Su Ruanruan hadn't stopped them, Su Laixi would have picked and eaten the strawberries when they were still green.
Now that she could finally eat it, Su Laixi stuffed it into her mouth in one bite.
Su Ruanruan looked at him with a smile and took a bite of the strawberry.
This strawberry tastes really good, so sweet that it seems to be sweet enough to make people's hearts feel.
"Ruanbao, can I have another one?" Su Laixi licked her lips and looked at Su Ruanruan eagerly.
