Six-Year-Old Child, Baojiao, is Busy with Kingdom-Building

Xiao Li shook his head and hurriedly said: "Mom, I only ate two pieces of snacks, and I'm still hungry."

Liu Zhihua patted his head and said with a smile: "Okay, mother is teasing you, let's go to the front yard for dinner, mother cooks stew and noodles today."

Before Xiao Li could speak, Erya raised her hand excitedly and shouted, "Wow! I love the soft, glutinous pork belly inside."

Xiao Li raised his hand and said, "I love meatballs the most."

Jiaojiao has eaten stew twice, and it was hot in her mouth, but her favorite is the soft sweet potato flour inside. The soft and glutinous stew is very delicious. She said: "I love rice noodles. ~"

"There are all these. Today is a big pot full, let you eat your fill."

The corners of Liu Zhihua's mouth were raised, in fact, stewed dishes are easier to eat, and it's rare that the children also like to eat them.

Qiu Sheng was not used to this scene, but Wang Yaozu was curious. Isn't it just an ordinary stew? Why are the brothers and sisters so excited?

Suddenly, he thought that his brothers and sisters could read books just now, so he walked up to the third aunt and gave a thumbs up to praise: "Third aunt, the younger brothers and sisters are really good, they can know so many words at a young age, and Xiao Li just returned it to me." I talked about Yi Zhuan, I just finished reading it this year, Xiao Li is really too smart."

Liu Zhihua was naturally happy when she heard that, hugged Jiaojiao and explained: "Qiusheng made them a booklet to learn how to read. Xiao Li doesn't like to read and read. Later, he became obsessed with these scriptures. He didn't expect to be able to recognize so many characters. The little-headed melon is very smart, and the third aunt is very pleased now."

When Xiao Li heard that his cousin and mother praised him, he scratched his head in embarrassment. In fact, he is not that good, far worse than his elder brother.

"His mother, quickly bring the children over for dinner."

Wang Zhuangzhi's energetic voice came from the front yard.

Liu Zhihua stopped chatting and led the children forward.

...

After lunch, it was hot at noon.

Jiaojiao's forehead was dripping with sweat, and the group of children went back to the house to play.

Liu Zhihua was cleaning the pots and pans in the kitchen, and Wang Zhuangzhi was fetching water from the well outside the yard to clean the horses.

The horse has been running around on the road for the past two days, and has not been groomed properly. In addition, it is hot today, and the place where the horse is tethered will smell a little, so it needs to be washed well.

While scrubbing the car body, Wang Zhuangzhi accidentally saw two watermelons in the car. After thinking about it, he knew it must be Xiao Duan.

Even though the money he earned was spent in his spare time, he himself voluntarily confiscated a lot of it, but Wang Zhuangzhi didn't keep it all and returned it to him.

These two big watermelons also cost a lot of money, and it was enough for him to have this kind of heart.

"His mother, there are two watermelons given by Xiaoduan in the car, you can cut and eat them for the children later." Wang Zhuangzhi yelled.

After Liu Zhihua heard it, she shook off the water droplets on her hands, and went straight out of the kitchen door to check.

Looking at the two round and big watermelons, Liu Zhihua smiled and said, "This stuff quenches thirst and heat very well. I think the kids won't be able to eat it just after eating. Master, put the watermelon in a basket and hang it down the well to cool down. After a while, the kids will wake up to take a nap and eat."

"Oh, okay."

After finishing the watermelon matter, Wang Zhuangzhi went to wash the horse.

After a while, there was a loud knock on the door.

Wang Zhuangzhi was in the front yard, sweating from his forehead after washing the horse. He rinsed his hands with clean water, then got up and went to open the door.

thump thump——

"Aspiration, are you at home!"

Wang Zhuangzhi opened the door, and he saw Sun Sihai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After the surprise, Wang Zhuangzhi said excitedly again: "Oh, Sihai, it's been a long time since you've seen you, come in quickly."

Wang Zhuangzhi enthusiastically pulled him in.

Sun Sihai looked a little hesitant, and finally made up his mind and sighed and said: "Zhuangzhi, I went to sell wild goods two days ago and was cheated by a few businessmen from the west. It’s useless to report to the official if the person has gone away, my old lady is seriously ill, my wife and a few children are still waiting for living expenses, and hunting is not good at the moment, I really have no choice but to come looking for you.”

When Wang Zhuangzhi heard his footsteps paused, he frowned and looked at Sihai, "You are such an adult, how could you ask them to deceive you?"

"It's a long story. In short, those people are very good at playing tricks. I also fell into their trap because of my negligence. It's too late to say anything now."

There were tears in Sun Sihai's eyes, and the savings accumulated over ten years of hard work disappeared. The wife washed her face with tears all day long, and the children unknowingly called for dad to buy snacks and toys, but his pockets were cleaner than his face.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Zhuangzhi guessed that he was being troubled, otherwise it would be impossible for him to open his mouth. He thought for a while and asked, "Si Hai, how much do you need?"

If there is not much, he will give it secretly, and there is no need to alarm the lady.

"One hundred taels."

After finishing speaking, Sun Sihai pursed his lips.

In fact, when he said this, he was nervous. The medicine that the doctor gave to my old lady was too expensive, but I couldn't ignore it.

He inquired with relatives and friends, and finally borrowed ten taels of silver. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he was too embarrassed to ask for help a second time.

In the end, I had no choice but to come to Zhuangzhi.

He naturally knows what a hundred taels of silver means to ordinary people, and he came here this time only with the mentality of trying it out. After all, one hundred taels is not a small amount, and his relatives and friends all politely shied away. Wealthy, and he is a friend, so he has a few hopes.

Wang Zhuangzhi choked, and if thirty-four taels was still negotiable, he would lend it, but he still couldn't get the hundred because the money was with the lady.

"Sihai, sit down and drink some water first, and I'll call your sister-in-law."

"Oh, good." Sun Sihai nodded quickly.

Wang Zhuangzhi walked all the way to the second entrance courtyard. Liu Zhihua had just finished cleaning the kitchen. She took off the apron and came out. Seeing the man in charge at the door smiling, he asked, "What's the matter these two days? You've been following me all day."

Wang Zhuangzhi rubbed his nose, and the nine-foot-tall man was a bit cautious in front of the lady, and he leaned closer and whispered, "My lady, something happened to Si Hai's family, and he wants to borrow a hundred taels of silver to make money. Look..."

Liu Zhihua was still smiling at the beginning, but when she heard that she was going to borrow money, and it was only one hundred taels, her smile suddenly disappeared, and her eyes became serious.

"no."

She is not short of one hundred taels now, but borrowing money is not such a way of borrowing, it is all borrowed by ordinary people in the countryside who have one hundred and two hundred taels.

Wang Zhuangzhi was taken aback for a moment, expecting his wife to refuse, but he didn't expect to refuse so quickly, he explained in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Sihai's mother is seriously ill, and I think I am in a hurry to see a doctor."

Liu Zhihua shook her head directly when she heard this, "Don't say I'm ruthless. This one hundred taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live for a lifetime. Sihai is a hunter like you. It costs a hundred taels of silver to see a doctor. Who can afford it?" .”
