Wang Ronghua hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Then cut a piece of pork belly." Wang Ronghua looked at the children's eager eyes and Zhao Shiying's bright eyes, and smiled helplessly.
"Oh yeah! Mom is so nice!" Zhao Shihui jumped up and down happily.
The children were all very happy. Zhao Guocheng asked them to wait and walked towards the meat stall. He quickly bought two pounds of pork belly for thirty-two cents.
On the way home, they met some women from the village who were also going to the market. They were coming back in ox carts, but Zhao Guocheng's family could not afford to ride in an ox cart, so they had to walk.
"Isn't that the Zhao family's second branch? Are they going to the market?"
"Of course. We just separated and we go to the market every now and then. I don't know what we buy."
"What can they buy? When I saw them passing by my house this morning, their backpacks and baskets were filled with wild vegetables. Only the baskets contained some bright red fruits, which can't be sold for much money. Their family is in a difficult time right now, and they have nothing to share. So they have to be more diligent and go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables to sell at the market."
"That's true. You said the Zhao family is really partial. The second son is treated like grass by his family, while the eldest and third sons are treated like treasures."
"Who says they are not? They are all poor people. From now on, we villagers can help them as much as we can and it will be considered a good deed."
"Yes."
When they arrived in front of Wang Ronghua's family, the few people stopped talking and greeted them enthusiastically.
It was already noon when we got home.
"Mom and Dad, let's count how much money we earned?" Zhao Shihui asked curiously.
Zhao Guocheng hurried to close the gate.
Wang Ronghua took out the cloth bag containing money with a smile.
"Let's count." Wang Ronghua grinned.
Last time I sold it for more than one or two taels of silver, and only had three cents left. I don’t know how much I sold this time, but there must be a lot left.
"Mom, count quickly." Zhao Shimin urged.
They couldn't count so many copper coins, so they had to rely on Wang Ronghua.
"Okay, listen and learn to count, one, two, three, four, five..." Wang Ronghua poured all the money on the table and began to count the coins.
After a long time, everyone's eyes lit up and the corners of their mouths curled up.
"Including these, the total is two taels of silver and fifty more coins." Wang Ronghua said while suppressing his happiness.
"So many." Zhao Guocheng was surprised, and then he was overjoyed.
The three children were very happy and held each other's hands unconsciously.
Their family is rich now.
Zhao Shiying just listened, but she didn't quite understand how much fifty coins meant for two taels of silver.
I could only grab things in the air out of boredom, fantasizing about my mother making meat for us at noon.
"At this rate of making money, our family will be able to get out of poverty and become rich sooner or later. After we have a good meal, we can go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots and pick mushrooms." Wang Ronghua made arrangements happily.
"Well, wife, collect the money first, and then make lunch. After lunch, we will go up the mountain." Zhao Guocheng is very satisfied with his current job. Picking mushrooms and digging bamboo shoots is much easier than looking for a job in the town, and it is not so tiring.
Zhao Guocheng saw hope and was full of energy.
"Okay." Wang Ronghua nodded with a smile.
She really likes such hopeful days. The family works together, eats meat together, and works together to do everything, so their mood naturally becomes very good.
Zhao Guocheng went to knead the dough immediately. He also bought some white flour this morning and mixed it with some buckwheat flour, and ate it directly with the meat patties.
We must have a good meal at noon to celebrate.
After Wang Ronghua collected the money, she also hurried over to help.
The three children surrounded Zhao Shiying, teasing and playing.
After lunch, Zhao Guocheng prepared a backpack, cloth bag, basket, rope, machete, hoe, etc.
There was not much time in the afternoon, so they planned to dig bamboo shoots and pick some wild fruits and vegetables.
However, what they didn't know was that not long after they went up the mountain, someone arrived at the end of the village.
But the gate was locked and the wall was too high to see inside, so I had to give up in disappointment.
This person was none other than Zhao Baishi. She had heard from the villagers that the second son's family went to the market every day, so she wanted to see if they had made a fortune. If they did, they must not forget her, their mother.
The lock on the courtyard gate was quite strong. I tried to open it for a while but couldn't, so I had to go back.
A month passed like this, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of May, and the weather began to get hot.
"Dad, it's raining, let's go back and collect our things." Zhao Shisheng shouted, turned around and ran back home.
We also dried a lot of mushrooms and fungus at home.
"Hey, I'll be right there." Zhao Guocheng picked up the hoe and ran after him. They were originally clearing land at the moment.
Seeing that it was about to rain, we really had to go back.
Wang Ronghua took Zhao Shimin to dig bamboo shoots, leaving Zhao Shiying and Zhao Shihui at home. The two children were young and useless, so Zhao Guocheng could only rush home.
Fortunately, all the dry goods were stored before the rain.
These were the ones that were not sold out at the market, so Wang Ronghua simply dried them into dry goods, which made them convenient to store and could be used either to sell or eat later.
"Dad, it's a good thing you came back, otherwise we would have been wet." Zhao Shihui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said while panting.
"Well, where is my sister?" Zhao Guocheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked around, but didn't see his little girl, so he immediately asked.
"My little sister is not here..." Zhao Shihui's smiling face turned to the place where he had put his little sister before, and his expression changed instantly.
Where is the little sister?
Zhao Guocheng followed Zhao Shihui's gaze and didn't see the little girl, so he became anxious.
"Nannan, where are you?" Zhao Guocheng immediately started looking for her in panic.
Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui also ran away in fear to look for him.
What happened? Why did my little sister suddenly disappear?
Zhao Guocheng ran into each room to check, but nothing was there.
"I don't have it." Zhao Shihui said anxiously.
"I don't have that either." Zhao Shisheng responded quickly.
Zhao Guocheng looked around and thought, where can the child go during the time it takes to pack up the dry goods? He can't walk.
Zhao Guocheng looked at the rooms he had already checked, and then looked at the kitchen at the edge.
Yes, there’s still the kitchen that I haven’t checked, so hurry over there.
Then he saw a scene that would remain deeply engraved in his memory for the rest of his life. Even if he talked about it later, he would still laugh for three days and three nights.
Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui who rushed over later also saw this scene.
I was quite anxious at first, but now I suddenly laughed.
Unable to suppress laughter.
