The wood mage and the native brother

Mrs. Fang stood aside and looked at the happy and happy appearance here, but she was very unconvinced, but she didn't dare to look at Mrs. Fang, and said a few casual words with a stiff smile, and hurried He went back to the house with Ji Huan in his arms.

Turning around, she saw that her simple-minded man was also laughing happily and foolishly. Angrily, Fang stretched out his hand and pinched Ji Jiang hard, then gave Ji Jiang a hard look, and then went back to the house with Ji Huan in his arms.

Ji Jiang looked at Ji Hai hesitantly, and seeing the people enjoying themselves happily, he shrank his neck and walked slowly towards his house.

As soon as she entered the room, Fang's forced smile immediately collapsed.

My uncle is about to become a grandfather, and he just passed the county exam, so he doesn't know if he will be a child student yet, so he is so proud of himself.Even if you become a child student, you don't know how many years it will take to be admitted to the scholar. Isn't it rare to see a white-headed child student? !

But sour words are sour words, Fang has to admit that she is still envious and jealous of Ji Hai after passing the county test.

Fang put her arms around Ji Huan, earnestly said,

"My son, you have to study hard in school. If you can pass the exam in the future, mother will be willing to close her eyes immediately!"

Ji Jiang who came into the room happened to hear such a sentence, and reprimanded without any momentum,

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Fang ignored her silly man, just hugged Ji Huan and said sweet words.

Ji Huan's face still had the immaturity of a child, but his face had already matured. He said firmly,

"I'm studying hard, and I will try my best to get my fame back in the future. When I become a Jinshi and become an official, I will ask my mother to come back."

These words reached Fang's heart at once, and he couldn't do enough to comfort him. He touched Ji Huan's face lovingly,

"Okay, mother is waiting for our family, Ah Huan, to give mother an order."

After hearing what Ji Huan said, Ji Jiang was also very happy.

"Ah Huan is ambitious, Dad must work hard for you to study."

When Fang heard this, she let out a cold snort, sent Ji Huan to the study, put her waist in and grabbed Ji Jiang's ear and said,

"You? What do you use for Ah Huan to study? The National People's Congress is very smart, and the couple know how to hide money secretly. See if Ji Shuo and uncle's food is better than our son's, so you foolishly think that the old couple are the same Treat me with such stupidity that I'm going to spend all the money I earn in diplomacy!"

Ji Jiang was restrained by Fang, but he didn't dare to move, he just drooped his head and said aggrievedly,

"How do you know that elder brother and sister-in-law are hiding money, and father is partial to elder brother, but mother still favors you. On weekdays, when elder brother and A Shuo went to A Liao's house for dinner, they never left our family, A Huan.

"Besides, didn't all the money go to Mother in the end?"

Ji Jiang said the last sentence in a particularly low voice.

The Fang family was about to be turned over by her own man in anger. How could a niece kiss her own son?Regarding the matter of studying, even if Mrs. Fang's mother came, she would have to give up a mile to the man of Ji's family!What's more, the money she quietly intercepted is not enough for Ah Huan to buy knife paper!

Knowing that Ji Jiang's elm head could not be opened, Fang just stared at Ji Jiang bitterly for a long time, and finally said,

"Where did you get the money for this county test when you are your eldest brother? There is no private subsidy from your parents? There is no share in it? Guess I believe it or not?! Wait a minute Come on, tomorrow morning at the latest, Mother will definitely come over and ask us for money for your good brother!"

After finishing speaking, he lay down on the bed angrily, facing the wall, and refused to say a word to Ji Jiang again.

Ji Jiang's expression was embarrassing, and finally he had to lie on the outside of the bed stiffly, with his big hand carefully resting on Fang's shoulder.

Fang was so angry that she reached out and knocked off the man's hand with a "slap".

Ji Jiang didn't dare to move anymore.A seven-foot man just curled up beside the bed all night with aggrievedness.

At the door, Ji Deng, who was passing by with Ji Xiaomei, happened to hear Fang's speculation, and he was quite convinced in his heart.On the one hand, Mr. Ji and Mrs. Fang forcibly hold all the money of the descendants in their own hands, and on the other hand, they desperately want people to pay for their own money when the money is not enough.

And the grandchildren of the three houses below, including Ji Deng, looked so filial, but all of them thought carefully and hid their private houses, but they never showed their faces, and often just pretended to be confused and refused to admit that they hid money .

Both sides still thought that the other party didn't know what they were planning, so they tried their best to pretend.

I don't know who is being ridiculous.

Ji Deng laughed heartily.

"Brother Deng."

Brother Yan, who came back from work, saw Ji Deng, and greeted him in a low voice, while Sister Xi, who was with her, remained silent.

"Brother Yan."

Ji Deng smiled as a reply.

Brother Yan responded with a smile, lowered his head, passed Ji Deng brothers and sisters, and entered the second room with sister Xi.

Ji Deng no longer cared about the upcoming show at Ji's family, so he hurried back to the house to tidy up the two of them before going to sleep.

I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the mountains.

……

Early the next morning, as expected, the three of Ji Hai went out, and Mrs. Fang came to look for Mrs. Fang.Mrs. Xu pretended to go back to the house, but didn't even close the door tightly, leaving a gap, and listened to the movement of the third room.

Mrs. Fang took Fang's hand, snot and tears,

"Seeing that the boss can come back with a good reputation, but the travel expenses, board, lodging, paper and pen, what kind of free money?! In addition, A Shuo and A Huan still have to study, the family really can't afford any money!"

Fang gritted her teeth when she heard this, and only pretended to be reasonable.

"This is a good and beneficial thing for the elder brother and our Ji family, so don't delay it!"

Granny Fang nodded repeatedly, and went down the donkey path,

"Third daughter-in-law, do you have any money in your hand? Let me borrow some money first. When your eldest brother comes back from the examination, let your eldest brother repay you and the third child with interest!"

Fang's smile is not real.What a joke, even if Ji Hai becomes a scholar, who is Xu's Ji Shuo not in the front row, how much benefit will she get as a sister-in-law?If the borrowed money is not in vain, it will be a godsend, and you still have to pay back the principal with interest?Don't be afraid of the wind flashing your tongue!

But knowing that Mrs. Fang was lying to her, Mrs. Fang didn't dare to quarrel with Mrs. Fang directly.

"We're all in the same family. We don't talk about interest. Although Ji Jiang and I don't have much money, we always want to do our best. When the planting is over, let Ji Jiang go to the county town to do a few days' part-time work to earn some copper coins. Brother Deng and I can’t afford to lose work. Sister Xi and Brother Yan also make handkerchief purses every day, and the amount they sell is worth a copper plate.”

Granny Fang felt very comforted after hearing this.She gave birth to a son, of course she knew how capable Ji Jiang was, he only knew how to use brute force to work, so he didn't have the ability and thoughts to hide his own money.Although the niece Fang Shi is smarter, she is devoted to her, and occasionally has a little temper because of Ah Huan.In the face of major events, Fang is still very clear.

Seeing that old lady Fang's expression softened, Mrs. Fang knew that her family had passed this test, so she beat the iron while the iron was hot and said,

"We have no skills, we can only earn two dollars by coolies. My sister-in-law's embroidery work is very good, and the embroidered flowers are just like the real ones. It's a pity that one piece sells for two yuan, so I just add two or three yuan. It is also wanted.

Now there is still more than a month before the government examination, my sister-in-law has worked so hard, a handkerchief sells for five yuan, and if you make thirty or fifty pieces of it, you can get two hundred yuan! "

Granny Fang was quite moved by these words, and she secretly calculated the money left on hand, she couldn't sit still, she just found an excuse and went straight to the big room.

Fang Shi was left behind with a proud smile.

Think she doesn't know that Xu's handkerchief sells more than three pieces?If you want to take advantage of their third wife, ask her Mrs. Xu to have a taste of heartache!

Here Xu's heart is sore but he still has to force a smile on his face, Ji Deng has no idea.

Ji Deng went out before dawn today, the forest before dawn was cold and mysterious, Ji Deng rubbed his arms, followed the direction of memory, and led Ji Xiaomei to the hut step by step.

Because of the injury of the green-eyed man, Ji Deng's stay on the mountain will inevitably be extended. Fortunately, the sage is only picked the day before he goes to the county, and Ji Deng only visits him every now and then to avoid suspicion. The days are staggered. It doesn't matter.

At first, Ji Deng was still afraid of a ferocious beast suddenly appearing somewhere, but after two or three years, he was safe and sound, and Ji Deng gradually got used to the quietness and coldness of the mountain forest.

The breath from the tip of the nose was cool, but Ji Deng felt extremely calm and happy in his heart. Even the tall trees and short grass along the way seemed to be bowing down to lead them all the way forward, clearing the way for the two brothers and sisters.

Fortunately, the sky dawned very quickly in spring, and when the season lanterns arrived at the hut, the sky was already bright.

When Ji Deng came up, the green-eyed man was sitting by a pool of spring water outside the house, staring into the distance in a daze, when he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned his head, seeing that it was Ji Deng brothers and sisters, he showed an undisguised look on his face. happy look.

Ji Deng's heart trembled, and then, as if nothing had happened, he stepped forward and pointed to the man's waist and asked,

"Why did you come out, didn't you hurt yourself?"

The green-eyed man patted the bamboo tube on his waist, smiled and nodded.

"elder brother--"

Ji Xiaomei happily ran forward, grabbing the green-eyed man's hem and steadfastly, for some reason she liked to be close to him so much.

Ji Deng shook his head helplessly, took out a small bag wrapped in cloth from his arms and handed it to the green-eyed man.

"I don't know if you have enough to eat, and there's nothing you can do if you don't have enough. Let's eat some fruit and let's eat. My little sister and I will save our own rations for you."

Knowing that the man couldn't understand, Ji Deng continued talking to himself,

"It's also unlucky not to catch the next one in the trap, otherwise I can cook you a soup to make up for it. Not to mention spending money, my little sister and I can also have a toothpaste to fill our stomachs."

It's just that if you didn't catch it, you didn't catch it. Before Ji Deng came here, he went to the place where the trap was dug to have a look, and it was exactly the same as when he dug it.

Although the green-eyed man couldn't understand Ji Deng's gestures, he also understood that Ji Deng meant to give him food. After all, all he ate and drank these days was Ji Deng who came up the mountain to give him at this time.

The green-eyed man opened the cloth bag, and inside were two black lumps the size of a baby's fist.

There were three last time.

Thinking of this, a hint of unknownness flashed in the man's dark green pupils.

"Okay, I'm going to go to the fields, and I'll come back to see you in a few days. When I'm hungry, I'll pick fruit to make a cushion. When I'm sleeping, be alert and watch out for wild animals. Also, remember to take medicine."

Ji Deng pointed at things one by one and told them to go over. The green-eyed man has developed a tacit understanding with Ji Deng brothers and sisters in the past few days, and it is not a problem to understand the meaning.

Knowing that the man knew, Ji Deng forced the reluctant Ji Xiaomei to walk down the mountain.

The green-eyed man stood behind them waving goodbye, and watched their backs leave tenderly. When he could no longer see half of them, the gentleness on the green-eyed man's face suddenly withdrew, revealing an unknown smile.
