Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

Meng Huaishao watched the interaction between the two little guys from beginning to end.

To be honest, he's a bit sour.

But he didn't say.

He is a very generous brother!

Ye Yaoyao asked for some water and he brought the bowl.

Jiang Zixuan finished drinking and then washed the dishes.

After washing and putting away all the things, Meng Huaishao walked up to Ye Yaoyao and rubbed her little head to remind her.

"Yaoyao, we have to go home, otherwise we will miss lunch."

Originally, they didn't plan to go back for lunch, but who could blame them for closing the stall so early?

"Oh oh oh!"

Ye Yaoyao nodded innocently.

"Jiang Zixuan, I'm going home now. We'll play again next time!"

"But I just got here!"

Jiang Zixuan felt a little reluctant. He had been waiting for his good friend for so long, and now he had to part again after just meeting him.

"Then come earlier next time!"

Ye Yaoyao would not delay her meal for an outsider.

"Goodbye!"

She waved to Jiang Zixuan and prepared to leave.

"Brother! Milk milk! We are going home!"

Jiang Zixuan was reluctant to leave, so he followed with his short legs.

Ye Yaoyao had just climbed onto the ox cart and turned around when she saw Jiang Zixuan looking up at her with a look of longing.

"Yaoyao, can I come to your house to play?"

Ye Yaoyao: ...

Can I say no?

"Master, Miss Yaoyao and her family have to go back to eat, it's not convenient for you to follow them."

Jiang Zixuan's wet nurse stopped him in time.

"Besides, it's almost noon. It's time to go home and eat, otherwise the master and the mistress will be worried!"

Jiang Zixuan looked reluctant, his hands and feet were resisting: "No! I want to play with sister Yaoyao!"

As he said this, he started to pull the ox cart.

Fortunately, the wet nurse was experienced.

She ignored Jiang Zixuan's struggle and refusal, picked him up and made way for him.

"Miss Yaoyao, I'm sorry, my young master is rather willful and disturbed you and your family."

"fine!"

Ye Yaoyao would not bother with an innocent child in the first place, and now that an adult has come to apologize, it would be even less of a big deal.

I even feel that, apart from being a little childish, this little kid should have a pretty good family environment.

At least, one could not see the arrogance of wealthy people from his wet nurse.

Therefore, Ye Yaoyao was more willing to accept Jiang Zixuan.

Of course, being friends is not possible yet.

We are just casual acquaintances.

Besides, we are all children. Who knows whether we will recognize each other when we grow up?

Therefore, Ye Yaoyao did not take the clingy little guy to heart.

"Why don't you accept the gift that Jiang Zixuan gave you today?"

On the way back, Meng Huaishao touched Ye Yaoyao's little head and asked casually.

Of course he saw it. Ye Yaoyao's eyes were always on the little rabbit jade pendant, and her joy was clearly revealed.

If Jiang Zixuan hadn't been unable to understand, he might have been able to send it out successfully.

Ye Yaoyao shook her head: "Of course it's because you can't accept favors without merit [Note 1], you can't accept favors from others for nothing!"

The old lady next to her was amazed when she heard Ye Yaoyao speak eloquently.

"Baby Yaoyao is so sensible! If it were any other child, I'm afraid they would just like him and take him in without thinking anything else."

Niu Nainai praised Ye Yaoyao generously.

"You're right. Even if we can't afford such an expensive jade pendant, we still have to have some integrity and not just accept favors from others!"

"If I accept it, it will be hard to repay this favor!"

“I’ll be able to afford it later!”

Meng Huaishao next to him became serious.

"Yaoyao, don't worry, I will make a lot of money, and I will buy you anything you like in the future!"

"good!"

Ye Yaoyao was smiling happily, and Niu Nainan also praised Meng Huaishao for his ambition.

Although you may not necessarily earn a lot of money, having ideals and ambitions is better than living a muddle-headed life every day.

Some people may think that doing business is not as good as farming, but after selling cold drinks for so long, Niu Nainai has deeply seen the benefits of doing business.

To earn that much money during this period, it would take their whole family several years of working in the fields from dawn to dusk.

And what about the two kids Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao?

That takes longer.

Under such a comparison, doing business is definitely the best choice.

Although both children were very smart and Meng Huaishao seemed to have the potential to pursue a career in politics, that was when his father was still alive.

Now, it is Meng Huaishao who has to support the family!

Although there are many difficulties in doing business, as long as you find the right direction and are willing to work hard, you can earn some living expenses.

But how could Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao be satisfied with this?

Ye Yaoyao wants to build a new house, become a big landlord, and live a carefree life every day.

Although the problem of the new house has been temporarily solved, she has not given up on the way to make money.

As for Meng Huaishao, he wanted to earn money to send Ye Yaoyao to a girls' school. If possible, he himself also wanted to go to a private school.

Reading makes people wise[Note 2].

Not only did Meng Huaishao not want to delay Ye Yaoyao, he also hoped that he could keep up with her.

In order to achieve his small goal of studying for ten years, the money Meng Huaishao has saved now is far from enough. If he wants to achieve his expected goal, he needs to work harder.

If Ye Yaoyao knew that Meng Huaishao worked so hard to earn money so that she could study poetry, literature, etiquette and the Book of Changes for another ten years, she would probably be so moved that she would cry.

The kind that makes you cry bitterly!

Fortunately, she didn't know yet, so she could still be friendly and chat with Meng Huaishao, without having to beat him up.

A few people rode a ox cart back to the village and luckily caught the end of lunch.

Ye Yaoyao and Meng Huaishao ate only a little and then returned to their shabby hut.

On the surface, it was to make some snacks or something, but in reality it was to add some food to Ye Yaoyao's meal.

The portion of rice in the big pot was limited, and Ye Yaoyao didn't dare to eat too much.

The fact that she eats too much and others don’t have enough food is secondary. She is just afraid that the news of her big eater will spread.

Well, Ye Yaoyao still cherishes her reputation as a good girl.

Although Meng Huaishao thought she was naughty, he felt it was useless.

No matter how naughty she is, Meng Huaishao's filter, which is deeper than that of his own brother, will choose to tolerate her.

But her good reputation in the village is different. Her image as a good girl makes her popular.

Ye Yaoyao munched on the rice cake and gave herself a thumbs up.

She is so smart that she can eat delicious food every day and create a perfect image of "someone else's child"!

"What are you thinking about again?"

Meng Huaishao nodded at the little girl who was laughing so hard that her eyes were almost blind, and reminded her.

"Eat carefully, there's water here, don't choke!"

"Know it!"

Ye Yaoyao stuck out her pink little tongue and continued to nibble on the fragrant, soft steamed cake.
