Begging for tickets, begging for everything... This chapter is what Benjiu likes very much. Although it is a small matter, Benjiu thinks of the life in the countryside when he was a child, which is really interesting.
********************
Yujie and Yuniang watched her actions and couldn't help laughing: "Grandma, if you say that in the past, it was for the future of my brother and sister, I worked hard to save this money. Now the little prince has recognized two children. , what are you worried about? If you are so tight, you might as well buy more rice, noodles, meat, and eggs. You can also eat some good food. Since marrying into this mansion, the days are getting tighter and tighter. It's not as good as you are in Zhenjiang's palace. When you were a prostitute, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"
"What do you know?" Fu Qiuning glanced at Yujie and Yuniang, and whispered: "As the saying goes, plan ahead. Although the little prince seems to like Fenger and Jiaoer at this time, who can see through him? What was he thinking? It was six years before the children were thrown away. Who can guarantee that one day he will not suddenly think about the past and get bored with the two children again? By then, we will spend all the money around us. After eating and drinking, Feng'er and Jiao'er are also grown, what should I do? That's why I have to save money, in this world, outsiders are unreliable, only relying on yourself, saving this money on your own, is the most important thing."
Because of this, I couldn't help but open the red silk and count the silver inside, there are fifteen taels in total. She smiled happily and sighed: "As long as the money is in our hands, it doesn't matter whether he is favored or humiliated by the little prince."
Yujie and Yu Niang laughed together: "On weekdays, grandma is the most mature and stable. But at this time, take a look, she is no different from a miser." After speaking, Fu Qiuning glared at him but saw She couldn't help but laugh.
Carefully put the silver at the bottom of the box, then locked the box, and put the key close to him, Fu Qiuning said, "Yes, now that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, it is time to go to the backyard pond to pick some reed leaves and prepare them for making rice dumplings. There are also eggs and duck eggs. I have saved thirty to fifty these days. I won’t sell them this time, but keep them all for us to eat. Originally, we couldn’t use them. Get out." Speaking of which, she couldn't help but stroked her forehead, and when she thought about that Jin Fengju who couldn't see clearly, she felt a bit of a headache.
Yujie and Yuniang agreed quickly, so they called Jin Zangfeng and Zang Jiao, locked the courtyard door, and the family came to the large pond behind the few acres of land in the backyard.
It used to be a big pond, and some lotus flowers were planted here, but after several years of dilapidation, there were not many lotus flowers left. On the contrary, there was a large piece of lush reeds growing beside the pond. It was in this pond that Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao learned to swim. The rain steps were grown by the water when they were young. They were skilled in water and were responsible for teaching them.
As soon as they got to the pond, the two children took off their clothes and went into the pond without waiting for Fu Qiuning's instructions. They could not come here to play casually on weekdays. Is there any reason not to be happy at this time? But he did not forget to do the serious work, and he was picking the fat and thick reed leaves.
Fu Qiuning and Yu Niang didn't know how to use water, so they cut some horse lotus on the shore. The leaves of the horse lotus are slender and long, which are just used to make the tying line for making rice dumplings. This is a traditional rule. In the modern age where Fu Qiuning lived in his previous life, he would usually not use Malian to tie the rice dumplings, but rather use colorful silk threads to tie them.
Until mid-afternoon, when Fu Qiuning saw that the reed leaves were almost done, he called Jin Cangfeng and Jin Zangjiao brothers and sisters: "Okay, the reed leaves are enough, don't just play with water, come up quickly." The two little brothers and sisters giggled, and a fierce man slammed down, and only showed his head after swimming all the way: "Mother, let's drive back the duck and the big goose."
"Don't talk to me." Fu Qiuning couldn't help laughing and scolding: "The leading goose in our family is more obedient than you, and in the evening, it will naturally lead the goose and duck back, so why should you worry? At this time, the sun has not yet set. Go down, where are they willing to go ashore, come up to me quickly."
When the two children heard this, they had to be reluctant to come back. Fu Qiuning saw that they were slammed down again, and could not help but said: "Yujie, watch here, if the two of them don't want to come up after a while, you can Go down and catch them one by one." After that, Yujie smiled and said, "Yes. Why doesn't grandma use a big turtle to scare them now?"
Fu Qiuning said with a smile, "Don't make fun of me. Although this pond is big, they've been roaming all over the place. How can they still believe that there are turtles the size of a mountain that can eat people..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the two children startled. With a cry, Fu Qiuning was startled. He quickly stood up and looked over, only to see that the two of them were swimming towards the shore without knowing what they were holding in their hands.
"Perhaps they caught two small fish." Yu Niang smiled, but she saw Jin Cangfeng and Jin Cangjiao swimming in front of them in a blink of an eye, and laughed, "Mother, let's see what we caught?" Carefully opened his palms, only to see four light blue duck eggs lying in four small hands.
"Yeah, it's duck eggs." Yujie and Yuniang both shouted, Yujie said angrily and funny: "Don't ask, there are only our ducks in this pond, it must be the things that eat the inside and the outside and lay the eggs. Here. Okay, I ate the food I mixed one by one, but I got some water plants and small fish and shrimp in the river, so my eyelids were shallow, and the eggs were laid in. I said why there are so few duck eggs these days. Well, I just think they are old and lay less eggs, so I kindly help them hide it, I'm afraid they will be slaughtered when they talk. Who knows that they are so unsatisfactory, they all wait for me, go back and bring only one Slaughtered and boiled the old duck soup."
As she said that, Fu Qiuning and Yu Niang laughed, and Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao's two brothers and sisters fell on their mother's body with laughter. Seeing Yujie jumping and scolding into the river for a while, the group of white geese and grey geese and ducks swam happily and ignored her, so this savage girl only came back embarrassed. But I heard Jin Zangfeng say: "Mother, if I go into the water again, maybe I can touch a few duck eggs and come back."
"Okay, there is such a coincidence. They don't all lay their eggs in the pond, but they can't help it. After all, we don't have many duck eggs in our daily life. Yes, who knows how long it took to soak in the water? Just fish it out, I'm afraid it will stink." After Fu Qiuning finished speaking, after the two children were dressed, a few people picked up the reed leaves, reeds, flowers, and horse lotus and went to them together. go back.
As soon as they returned to the backyard, they heard a loud knock on the door in the front yard. They looked at each other in astonishment, and suddenly they saw Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao jump up and shout, "Probably Daddy is here. Let's go. Open the door." After speaking, he grabbed his hands and ran to the front yard, leaving Fu Qiuning and the others behind in an instant.
