"I promised to cook egg custard for my little sister in the evening." Zhao Shimin reminded.
"Okay, how can we miss Nannan's egg custard?" Wang Ronghua nodded.
Zhao Guocheng continued to peel bamboo shoots and was also very happy at this time.
The children have made progress.
At this time, Zhao Shiying looked at Zhao Shimin without blinking.
Reminding Zhao Shimin if she had forgotten something?
Zhao Shimin looked at Zhao Shiying and it took her a while to react.
"Little sister, wait." Zhao Shimin smiled and went back to her room.
Then take out a few pieces of candy that were previously wrapped in lotus leaves.
"Here, I counted them. Each of us has half a piece. My little sister gets one piece, and she eats it first." Zhao Shimin grinned and took out the candy.
There are exactly seven pieces.
"Oh, there's still candy. You really know how to save things. They've all finished eating, but you didn't eat a piece?" Wang Ronghua felt a little sorry for her eldest daughter.
This kid doesn’t eat the food and leaves it for everyone else. It’s really... I don’t know what to say!
"Mom, this is a reward for my little sister. I promised to give her candy." After saying this, Zhao Shimin took the initiative to stuff a pine nut candy into Zhao Shiying's pocket.
Zhao Shiying squinted her eyes in satisfaction and licked it fully with her hand.
After that, each person was given half a piece of candy, but of course Zhao Shimin ate a whole piece.
At least no one is offended.
***
Tietou ran back home, but was stopped by his father as soon as he got home.
"Tietou, why are you running around? Where have you been? What are you holding in your hand?" Liu Chuanmu had just come out of the kitchen after drinking water. Seeing the boy running back frantically, he asked unhappily.
"Dad, Shengzi, Huizi and I went to the mountains and picked up a lot of pheasant eggs and bird eggs. Sister Shimin also picked up a lot of mushrooms. Look, we have delicious food at home." Tietou grinned excitedly and held up the things in his hand.
Liu Chuanmu looked at the basket and cloth bag in Tietou's hands in surprise, and walked over in two steps.
"They are really pheasant eggs and mushrooms, you are really good." Liu Chuanmu felt incredible. This silly son usually only did mischief and never did anything decent. Today, he actually picked up so many good things. It was rare.
Liu Jinfu came out of the room at this time, intending to finish his carpentry work, but unexpectedly he saw the father and son in the yard.
"What's wrong? What is this?" Liu Jinfu took a closer look in confusion, and then his eyes widened.
"You bad boy, where did you steal so many eggs and bird eggs?" Liu Jinfu was so angry.
Liu Chuanmu was stunned. Stolen? Didn’t his son say he picked it up?
"Wait, Dad, it's not what you said. How could Tietou steal things? He told several kids from Zhao Laoer's family at the end of the village that he picked them up on the mountain, right? Tietou, you can't lie, right?" Liu Chuanmu looked at Tietou.
"Dad, Grandpa, these were picked up by our group on the mountain. Aunt Wang gave them to me. We divided them equally. Jinbao and I got the same amount. I have to return this basket and bag to Huizi later." Tietou looked at the two of them with a look of begging for praise.
"Really?" Liu Jinfu was surprised. It's good that it wasn't stolen.
Seeing Tietou nod firmly again, Liu Jinfu finally believed it, but he still felt uneasy. These things were very valuable to them, the farmers, especially so many eggs.
"Chuanmu, go to the end of the village and ask." Liu Jinfu said.
"Hey." Liu Chuanmu nodded and wanted to run.
"Dad, wait a minute." Tietou said and quickly ran into the kitchen, took out a basket, and put all the eggs in the basket.
Mushrooms fell to the ground.
"Dad, you can just take this back to their house at the end of the village. I'm too lazy to run. I'm so tired." Tietou was quite serious. He stuffed the bag into the basket, which really shocked Liu Chuanmu.
"Did they really pick them up together?" Liu Chuanmu confirmed again.
"Well, if you don't believe me, just go and ask." Tietou rolled his eyes. It made him angry just to see his father not trusting him. Humph~~~ He would eat a few more eggs in the evening to replenish his body.
Liu Chuanmu seemed to realize that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked.
So he made up for it by saying, "Ahem~ Ask your mother to fry eggs for you in the evening." Then he went out with the cloth bag and basket.
"Grandpa, can I take half of it and sell it for money?" Tietou looked at Liu Jinfu hopefully.
"You should ask your grandma about this. I don't care about this matter." Liu Jinfu waved his hand, then sat in the yard and started doing carpentry work.
The Liu family is a family of carpenters, and this craft has been passed down from generation to generation.
Both Liu Chuanshan and Liu Chuanmu are good at carpentry.
Tietou scratched his head and was about to go find his grandma, but he didn't expect that Liu Huangshi came out at this time.
"What are you making so much noise for? You can't even let me sleep in peace." Mrs. Liu Huang walked out unhappily and frowned as she looked at her little grandson in front of her.
"Grandma, I picked up a lot of eggs and two kilograms of mushrooms. Can I take half of them to sell? The money will be my pocket money. I will pick up a lot of things in the future. Is that okay, grandma?" Tietou started to use his annoying skills at this moment. He grabbed Liu Huang's arm with both hands and started shaking it.
Mrs. Liu Huang felt that her grandson was dreaming.
"Grandma, can I secretly give you half of it? Don't tell my mother and the others, don't tell anyone else, please, my dear grandma." Tietou was so annoying that he almost made Liu Huang stagger.
"Really?" Mrs. Liu Huang glanced at this unreliable grandson.
This little grandson is the most mischievous. He robs bird nests and makes trouble for others. Countless people in the village have said that if he is not disciplined well, he will grow up to be a bully and everyone will dislike him.
"Yes, really, I'll keep my word. Pinky promise." Tietou immediately stretched out his hand.
"Who wants to make a pinky promise with a little brat like you?" Liu Huang patted Tietou's hand.
"Let go, let me count the eggs. Where did they come from?"
Tietou patiently repeated it to Liu Huangshi, and then pointed at Liu Jinfu and said that his grandfather could testify that his father had already gone to the end of the village to return the cloth bag and basket.
Mrs. Liu Huang was quite happy. There were so many eggs. Even if she gave half of them to her little grandson, she could still keep a lot.
"Okay, to encourage you to contribute to the family, I'll give you half. Take it and keep up the good work next time." Mrs. Liu Huang nodded.
Tietou was so happy.
Then, like a magic trick, he took out another basket and started filling it with pheasant eggs and bird eggs.
The mushrooms were also divided in half.
Liu Huang looked at the things that were suddenly half gone, frowned, feeling a little distressed, and a little regretful that she had agreed too quickly.
Tietou didn't care. He took the things and ran out immediately.
I was afraid that if I was a step slower, grandma would regret it and take it back.
***
After Jinbao returned home with the things, he was praised by his mother.
The main reason is that Jinbao's mother is the boss of his family, so it's not that difficult to get things.
"Mom, can you please leave some eggs for us to eat at home and I can sell the rest? I can keep half of the proceeds, okay?" Jinbao looked at his mother hopefully.
"Why do you need money at such a young age?" Jin Bao's mother frowned.
"I have to save money. Huizi is going to a private school in the second half of the year, and I want to go too. Tietou and I have made an agreement that we will work hard to save money in these few months, and then hand in Shuxiu to go to school." Jinbao vowed.
When Jinbao's mother heard this, she thought her son had a promising future as he could even have such an idea. However, studying is very expensive. If the family had money, they would have let Jinbao go to school long ago. Unfortunately, they just couldn't afford it.
Unexpectedly, the child was thinking about saving money for his own education. Jin Bao's mother felt that it would be unreasonable for her, as a mother, not to support such a well-behaved child.
