Chapter 168 My fat girl is angry about her weight gain!
Unfortunately, the mosquito is destined to be disappointed.
The old man chopped a bunch of wormwood from somewhere and threw it into the bonfire. Immediately, a cloud of black smoke rose up. The rich aroma of wormwood spread everywhere, and mosquitoes began to flee in panic. Soon, the surroundings became quiet!
Sesame Ball didn't feel hot anymore and lay by the campfire, refusing to get up.
Even the big black horse came up and sneezed comfortably, finally its tail didn’t have to keep swinging!
Uncle Ma is so tired!
Zhuzhu sat between her two brothers, staring at the greasy rabbit intently and drooling.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were very busy, waving the straw bundles in their hands behind their sister, for fear that a mosquito would kiss her. They were afraid that they would be kissed by the broom when they returned home!
No one can understand the hardship of being a brother!
A bonfire, burning in the dark forest, illuminates the small warm world.
Soon, the rabbit was thoroughly roasted.
Everyone took out the steamed buns they brought from home, stuffed them with rabbit meat, and ate dinner with the fresh soup made from freshly picked mushrooms.
Sesame Ball is greedy and Big Black Horse has a bad temper, but they are the best guards and no matter how small the movement is, they will hear it.
The old man also had a rare moment of relaxation. He teased his granddaughter and told her stories passed down by the older generation, which made the children very happy.
Tai Jizong lit the earthen kang in the wooden house, tidied it up, and then called everyone, young and old, to go to bed.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, before the dew had even evaporated, Zhuzhu set off with her family.
When others dig wild ginseng, they have to distinguish one plant among many plants, which is very difficult.
But for Zhuzhu, it was extremely simple. All she had to do was smell the scent!
So, by noon, Tai Jizong's basket was already filled with three bark packages!
It was because digging ginseng took a lot of time, otherwise it would have been done in less than half an hour.
This is even more convenient and easier than picking vegetables in your own garden!
Tai Jizong carefully hung the basket on his chest and whispered to his father, "Dad, should we go down the mountain?"
The old man looked at the basket, then at his little granddaughter who was picking wild flowers everywhere, and nodded helplessly, "Then let's go home. We don't know how to make this treasure, and it would be a pity if it got damaged. Let's go home and find a way!"
As he spoke, he called his granddaughter, put her in the basket behind him, and hurried down the mountain.
Zhuzhu didn’t play enough, she pouted, hugged her shoulders and got angry!
"Grandpa doesn't keep his word. Grandpa promised Zhuzhu that she would stay for a few more days!"
The old man complained helplessly that when he came, he didn't expect that his granddaughter's little hand would be so powerful in making money!
"Be good, Zhuzhu. Let's go home first. Grandpa will take you to the city to buy some delicious food. When I have free time in the future, I will definitely take you to stay longer, okay?"
Going into the city?
The fat girl's eyes immediately lit up, and all her fatness disappeared. She danced with joy, "Zhuzhu wants to go to the city to buy candles for mother! Then mother's embroidery won't be blackened by the oil lamp!"
The old man felt warmed when he heard this. This child is really sensible and always thinks about his family.
"Okay, let's buy your mother a few more candles to keep her family bright and shiny! Zhuzhu found so many ginseng treasures, one will be enough to light candles for the whole house for several years!"
Zhuzhu nodded vigorously, very happy, but it was a pity that she had two small flower buds on her head and had no braids to stick out!
After spring planting, every household has some free time.
Liu Dongniang was busy cleaning the inside and outside, taking apart and washing jackets and pants, while Yang Lihua began to prepare for embroidery.
Chunhong is really a treasure girl. She works efficiently and is good at everything she learns.
She learned needlework from Yang Lihua for a few days and is now able to do the work of an assistant!
From clamping the embroidery support to dividing the embroidery threads and threading the needle, everything is done quickly and well.
Yang Lihua was only responsible for embroidering with her head down, which greatly saved time and experience.
Liu Dongniang occasionally went to the backyard to deliver water. Seeing this, she was full of praise.
"Sister-in-law, Chunhong is such a smart kid! I studied with you for so long, but I'm still not as good as her in just one day. Let her help you with embroidery in the future, and I'll take care of the kitchen work!"
Yang Lihua was also happy and responded, "Chunhong is indeed talented, but you're not bad either. Speaking of frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying, you and I have also learned for many years, but we are different and we are not good at anything. It turns out that God is fair, allowing everyone to have a specialty!"
After that, she checked the embroidery thread, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I really need Chunhong's help here. Embroidery requires delicate hands, otherwise it would be a pity to scratch the embroidery thread.
Let Chunhong work with me for a while!
"As for other tasks, ask Yonglu and Yongyue to help out. If they're still too busy, we can always hire another person..."
Before she could finish, Chunhong had already knelt on the ground.
The two sisters-in-law thought that she was grateful for teaching them embroidery, but Chunhong actually wanted something else.
"Aunt, Second Aunt, if we're going to buy another woman, can you please buy Erya? She came to me secretly yesterday, crying loudly, saying that my mother wanted to sell her to the city as a slave!
"I shouldn't have gotten involved, and I didn't want my mother and her family to rely on me, but Erya is kind-hearted, very capable, and smart!
"When I was in that house, she couldn't even get enough to eat, and she had to save some bread for me. Otherwise, I would have starved to death and would never have had the blessing to come to our house again!
"I don't really want Aunt to buy Erya, I just... just..."
Chunhong was also conflicted for a long time, and even didn't sleep much last night.
That family gave her too little warmth, and the little warmth she had came from her half-sister.
If she did not save him, she would feel guilty. If she saved him, she would be afraid of causing trouble for her aunt's family!
She couldn't help it and lay on the ground sobbing.
"Aunt, I have some money here, but it's not enough to buy Arya... I want to give the money to my mother. She will definitely agree, but then I will be controlled by her again. I don't want that! Woo woo, I don't want that!"
Liu Dongniang felt soft-hearted and her nose started to sour when she heard this. She quickly helped Chunhong up.
Yang Lihua also handed over a handkerchief and asked, "Don't cry first. Tell me in detail what happened."
Chunhong quickly wiped away her tears and told the story again.
It turned out that after she entered the Tai family, she tried not to go out as much as possible because she didn't want to have any involvement or connection with her original family anymore.
It was more to prevent that family from sucking her blood, which would then make the Tai family angry and cause trouble.
So, every time she happened to meet that family, she quickly hid away.
But she could hide from others, but she couldn't hide from Arya, because Arya insisted on coming here every day to learn writing and arithmetic, and Arya had been very kind to her before, and her survival was also due to Arya's coming here to ask for help.
Occasionally, she would save half a steamed bun and give it to her younger sister to fill her stomach when she came to study.
I originally thought that it would be good to live like this, especially after Tai Jijin's mother passed away, life would definitely be more relaxed, but things did not go as I wished.
