Yang Chunyan was very grateful to Zhuang Zhiqing.
"Yes, what Zhuang Zhiqing said is absolutely right. You can't go wrong by listening to her!"
You usually help her gather pig feed, and if she needs any help, just run and help Zhuang Zhiqing right away, understand?
Ba Jin smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Mother, don't worry, as long as Sister Zhimeng needs our help, we will definitely help her!"
Zhuang Zhimeng's workload for today was enough in just one morning. It consisted entirely of telling her children about the benefits her family had received, and then the children brought her pig feed.
Zhuang Zhimeng was in a good mood and hummed a tune as she descended the mountain.
An Qingbai happened to be waiting for her at the foot of the mountain and recognized her from afar.
He was thinking of sneaking up on her and startling her, so he hid first.
As a result, Zhuang Zhimeng saw everything, and Yangyang happened to be behind Zhuang Zhimeng.
Zhuang Zhimeng turned around, walked over to Yangyang, and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Sister Zhimeng, don't worry, I'll walk over quietly so he won't hear me!"
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and waved to Yangyang.
"Okay, Yangyang, go ahead!"
Zhuang Zhimeng deliberately slowed down, just waiting to see Yangyang scare Qingbai. She couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought.
"hey-hey!"
Yangyang quietly came down the mountain and, following the instructions of his sister Zhimeng, quietly walked to the location where his third uncle was.
An Qingbai was wondering why Zhizhi hadn't come down the mountain yet. She wasn't usually this slow. Could something be wrong? Should he go out and check? He hadn't even noticed Yangyang.
Yangyang suddenly climbed onto An Qingbai's back.
"Haha, Third Uncle, did I scare you?"
An Qingbai was genuinely startled.
"Haha! Qingbai, how about it? Scared, huh?"
An Qingbai stood up with Yangyang on his back and looked at Zhizhi, who was beaming with joy.
"Hehe, Zhizhi, you saw me, didn't you? Otherwise, how would you and Yangyang have known I was hiding here?"
Zhuang Zhimeng nodded.
"Yeah, I saw you a long time ago. I even saw you hiding. I thought you were trying to scare me, haha, so I'll have Yangyang scare you!"
Yangyang asked An Qingbai a question while on his back.
"Third Uncle, were you scared by me?"
An Qingbai refused to admit that he was frightened by his nephew and shook his head repeatedly.
"No, how could I possibly be scared by you?"
Yangyang glanced at Zhuang Zhimeng with a sly smile.
"Hehe, Sister Zhimeng, did you see that? Uncle San was so scared he almost started shaking!"
Zhuang Zhimeng also chuckled to herself.
"Hey, Yangyang, let's give him some face. If he says no, then no!"
An Qingbai still wanted to be stubborn.
"I really..."
Zhuang Zhimeng stopped him.
"Brother Qingbai, let's go back. The cicada nymphs still need to be processed; they need to be thoroughly cleaned before frying!"
Yangyang patted An Qingbai on the shoulder.
"Third Uncle, let's go, carry me back!"
An Qingbai was completely exasperated by the two people, one big and one small.
"Okay, okay, I'll carry you! Make sure you lie down properly, don't fall off!"
As An Qingbai spoke, he lifted Yangyang up and down until Yangyang was properly settled before resignedly carrying Yangyang on his back and following Zhuang Zhimeng home.
Zhuang Zhimeng happily told An Qingbai on the way.
"Oh right, Qingbai, I haven't told you yet, I can rest at home this afternoon and don't need to gather pig feed! The kids brought me a lot of pig feed today!"
An Qingbai guessed.
"Is it because of the cicada nymph incident yesterday?"
"Yes, many children said that their parents sent them to bring me pig feed!"
"No wonder! When I went to work today, everyone who saw Mengmeng and me was all smiles, much more enthusiastic than before!"
"That's not hard to guess, is it? If it's directly related to their interests, they'll definitely be enthusiastic!"
If we had thought they were charging too much yesterday and lowered the price, everyone would have given us a severe dressing down—that's a perfectly normal reaction!
Yangyang suddenly realized that cicada nymphs could be sold for money! Why hadn't he thought of selling them before? He had only thought about eating them!
No way! How can a five-year-old not earn some money?
"Third Uncle, I'm going to sell cicada nymphs next year too, I won't eat them anymore!"
An Qingbai was amused by his little nephew.
"Heh, you want to sell cicada nymphs? How could that be possible?"
You're still young, and you can't do math. Do you know how much two cicada nymphs cost, since one costs eight cents? When someone gives you money and asks for change, do you know how much change you should give them?
Yangyang was speechless at his third uncle's words.
"I...I...I...then I..."
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and patted An Qingbai's arm.
"Hehe, Qingbai, stop bullying Yangyang because he's small!"
Yangyang's eyes lit up when he saw Zhimeng next to him.
"Sister Zhimeng, how about I learn to read and do arithmetic with you? Just like you taught Brother Huzi and the others to read before!"
Zhuang Zhimeng raised her hand and rubbed Yangyang's head.
"Why not? If you want to learn how to cut pig feed, I'll teach you in our spare time!"
Yangyang was very happy.
"Hehe, thank you so much, Sister Zhimeng! I'll help you gather pig feed from now on, and you can have all the work points counted!"
An Qingbai then teased Yangyang with a smile.
"Heh, Yangyang, if I remember correctly, you get one work point per day, right? If you give it to Sister Zhimeng, then you won't get any for yourself!"
Yangyang didn't hesitate at all.
"So what if I don't have any? Next year I won't just earn one work point anymore, I'll be able to earn two!"
Zhuang Zhimeng told Yangyang.
"Keep Yangyang's work points for yourself; they were earned through his own hard work. As for pig feed, you can help him if you want!"
