Chapter 965: A Dream (46)

When Xiao Yougen returned from the county town, it was already dark.

This was only because Xiao Yougen was lucky. He happened to see a passing ox cart and spent a few cents to take the ride back. Otherwise, he would have probably not reached home until midnight.

Su Runrun didn't know all this, and she didn't see Xiao Chengjin when she woke up the next day. He had already eaten breakfast and went to school with his things.

Although the distance between the two villages was not very far, Xiao Yougen was still worried about Xiao Chengjin going alone, so he got up early and personally sent Xiao Chengjin to school before returning.

Xiao Chengjin couldn't persuade Xiao Yougen and could only let him send her off.

Xiao Chengjin thought that after two days, when Xiao Yougen was sure that there would be no danger on the road, he would probably let him go to school alone.

With Xiao Chengjin away, Su Runrun didn't have to go to the village chief to learn calligraphy, nor was she interested in going into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs. She could only focus her energy on her four brothers, determined to get them to learn the Thousand Character Classic as quickly as possible.

There are many boys in the Su family, four in total. Even the eldest, Su Laifu, is not very old.

In this case, neither bias is good.

After Su Dahao and Su Cangshan discussed it, they decided to wait until after the summer harvest and when the family had more money, and then send the four of them to school together. Then they would be able to keep Xiao Chengjin company and go to and from school together, so they wouldn't be bullied.

Su Ruanruan didn't think about waiting that long. As long as the strawberries were ripe, the family's income would naturally increase, and then she could send her four brothers to school.

After Xiao Chengjin was not at home, the strawberries and watermelons of the Xiao family were taken care of by Xiao Danniu and her four sisters. However, Su Runruan would still follow Xiao Chengjin to walk around the fields after he came back, touching every plant, of course, in order to fertilize them.

In his spare time, Xiao Chengjin explained to Su Runruan what he had learned in school, and then taught Su Runruan to recite and write from memory.

Pens, ink and paper are all very expensive. Su Runrun didn't have to take the college entrance examination, and her family conditions were not good, so of course she didn't know how to write on paper. She still used a branch to write and draw on the ground.

As time goes by, the white flowers of the strawberry wither, revealing the green fruits inside.

The strawberries grow bigger day by day, gradually changing from green to white, and then from white to red.

The weather this year was really good, with good weather and good harvests. Coupled with Su Runrun's hard work in weeding and fertilizing, the strawberries were growing quite well.

Just a few days into May, Su Ruanruan discovered that a batch of strawberries were ripe and ready to be picked.

The ripe strawberries are all about the same size, bright red and mouth-watering.

Su Ruanruan really likes eating strawberries, but at this time, she also knew that she had to sell them first, so she only picked a few and gave one to each person in the family so that they could taste the flavor of strawberries.

In fact, as the strawberries grew bigger day by day, Su Laixi had already set his eyes on them and really wanted to pick them and eat them. If Su Runrun hadn't stopped him, Su Laixi would have picked and eaten the strawberries when they were still green.

Now that he could finally eat it, Su Laixi stuffed it into his mouth in one gulp.

Su Ruanruan looked at him with a smile and took a bite of the strawberry.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This strawberry tastes really good, so sweet that it seems to sweeten people's hearts.

"Ruanbao, can I have another one?" Su Laixi licked his lips and looked at Su Ruanruan eagerly.
