Wings of Hung Chien - Chapter 11
The next day, after comparing the environment between his own and the Yun family, Si Hongcang came to Yuntian and told her that the thatched hut he lived in was too small, there was no extra room to keep worms, and he kept this kind of worm house. Not too wet. It is best to be cool and ventilated.
Yuntian had already told his mother and father about the matter and benefits of keeping insects, and they were also very much in favor and looking forward to it.
So as soon as Yunshan heard what Si Hongcang said, he immediately said to his daughter, “Tian’er, take Ah Cang to the backyard to see if that empty warehouse is suitable for keeping insects?”
“Okay. Come with me.”
Si Hongcang and Yun Tian came to the rarely used warehouse in the Yun family’s backyard. She read it back and forth and was very satisfied. The inside of the house is cool and ventilated, which is very suitable for raising Tenebrio molitor.
Because Si Hongcang does not live in the village, Yun Ruo lives at the foot of Xiaoli Mountain outside the village. It is not a short distance from her home. Besides farming, she also raises pigs and chickens. She went to the natural exercise room in the back mountain to practice exercises, pick tea, and teach her sister to read. Now there is more to do with insect breeding. Is she alone enough to do it?
So I asked her, “Sister Sihong, you already have so many things to do, can you still make time to raise insects?”
“Well, that’s a problem…”
“Otherwise, this worm will be raised by me.”
“You’re also very busy, aren’t you?” Si Hongcang knew that Yun Ruo was also busy from morning to night all day long. Seeing that the Yun family was so orderly and clean, he knew that he was a diligent and clean boy.
Yun Ruo smiled and said to her, “I am the only one in the whole family who is only responsible for housework, and I have more time to spare, so I should keep the bugs.” Because he knew that Si Hongcang would also be with his sister. Fiddle with her so-called tea business!
However, the Yun family’s mother and father repeatedly agreed, “Yeah, A Cang, you have to take care of so many things by yourself, how can you take care of the bugs, let Ruo’er help raise them.” This is distressing for her orphan who has no mother, no father and no siblings.
Therefore, as long as Yuntian is free, the two elders always ask Yuntian to go to Si Hongcang’s house to help. Of course, Yun Tian was willing to go to Si Hongcang’s house to help. Although Yun Ruo also wanted to help her, he was afraid that someone who was interested would talk about it and ruin Si Hongcang’s reputation, so he didn’t dare to help Si Hongcang with Yun Tian.
And it was impossible for Si Hongcang to leave all the bug-keeping to him to take care of alone. Because she will also come to help, and Yun Tian and Yun Shan will not let go and leave it to Yun Ruo alone, they love him very much.
After the negotiation, the heavy responsibility of raising insects temporarily fell to Yun Ruo, and that was the case for now. So Si Hongcang told Yun Tian and Yun Ruo about how to raise them and what to pay attention to. Fortunately, their brothers and sisters were not afraid of bugs. Otherwise, the plan of raising insects may be cut in half first. Besides, most of the mountains and villages are insects, not insects. Moreover, they also eat a meal of worms.
The wooden tray for raising worms should have a net on the top, the inner wall should be smooth, and the bottom should be two layers, a layer of fine mesh, and a layer of movable drawers to facilitate the cleaning of feces and garbage. So with her and Yuntian’s carpentry skills, they couldn’t do it at all. It had to be specially made by a carpenter.
But if you don’t have money in your hands, it’s no use talking about anything!
Speaking of money ——
Originally, Bai Yi had given her a silver note of one hundred taels, saying it was an advance payment for food and lodging at her house. Si Hongcang thinks that every time she comes here, she just eats and sleeps, why does she need so much? Besides, Si Hongcang regarded her as a friend, so he didn’t charge her at all. But in the end, Bai Yi could not be beaten, so Si Hongcang still temporarily accepted the one hundred taels of silver notes on his behalf.
Later, Bai Yi not only taught her martial arts, but every time he came, he would definitely bring game to her. You say that this is not the true portrayal of what people call “to take advantage of a loss”?
Even so, the money is still owned by Bai Yi, so it is better to discuss with Bai Yi about money.
Anyway, the number of bugs I found is not very large, so I will raise them in a water basin first.
Si Hongcang calculated in his heart: September is the season for picking winter tea. It’s better to go up the mountain to pick up the tea. I haven’t fried tea for too long, and I don’t know how much it has become rusty. If the good tea is fried, isn’t it a waste? It’s better to warm up beforehand.
At that time, while pulling Yuntian to practice martial arts together, while picking tea leaves and looking for tea seeds, you can also teach Yuntian’s homework. It’s really a three-shot.
Si Hongcang told Yuntian the plan, and Yuntian’s mother and father completely trusted her and supported her unconditionally. Facing the reaction of Yun Tian’s family, Si Hongcang sometimes really felt guilty.
After all, all her plans now are achievements that can only be seen in the future!
Si Hongcang said to Yun Tian, ”Sister Yun Tian, the rooster will be leaving tomorrow morning. You should pack up in the evening. Don’t forget to bring a hat and a scorpion.” This is about going up the mountain to pick tea.
Yun Tian nodded and said, “Got it.”
“Aunt Yun, Uncle Song, I’ll go back first.”
“Don’t you stay and have a meal before leaving?”
“no thank you.”
“Be careful on the way back then.”
“Will do.”
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a light purple figure turning from the corner of Yun Ruo’s back. It was a boy about the same age as Yun Ruo, with a beautiful appearance and elegant demeanor.
When the boy saw Si Hongcang, he stepped forward and greeted her very well, “Hello, Sister Ah Cang.”
Si Hongcang, who didn’t have any thoughts, just thought the other party was still young, and greeted him with a smile, “Hello.” Then he pouted at Yuntian and asked, “Is that your relative?”
Yun Tian turned his head to look, frowned, and didn’t call him over to introduce Si Hongcang. He turned his head again and replied, “No, he is Wang Rong, the youngest son of the Wang family.” But there was some doubt in his heart: strange , what is he doing today?
It turned out that Wang Rong heard that Si Hongcang came to look for Yuntian, and his house was behind Yun’s house, so she turned in and wanted to see Si Hongcang.
After learning that he was not a relative of the Yun family, Si Hongcang stopped showing affection to him. Just as he was about to leave, he thought of something and turned his head and said to Yun Ruo, “Yun Ruo, you need to prepare more food for your sister to take, and I won’t take it.”
Si Hongcang was not good at cooking at first, and what Yun Ruo made was very delicious, so she was not polite and asked for it directly.
Yun Ruo nodded and smiled, “Ah, I understand.”
Speaking of this, Si Hongcang couldn’t figure it out, why does Bai Yi like to eat what he cooks? It was obvious that she cooked better than herself! I really don’t understand her. But after Bai Yi tasted Yun Ruo’s cooking, he liked to eat Yun Ruo’s cooking even more.
When they were done, they turned their heads and went home.
When Yun Tian entered the house and Si Hongcang walked away, Wang Rong ran out from the corner and called out to Yun Ruo with a smile on his face.
When Yun Ruo was mocked yesterday, he was also present. It is the kind of person who watches tigers fight across the mountain.
“Yunruo.”
“Is something wrong?”
Yun Ruo didn’t want to pay attention to him, not because Wang Rong didn’t come forward to help him yesterday. However, since I knew him, I always felt that there was an inexplicable and incompatible sense of estrangement between myself and him. In particular, the way he spoke in a sloppy way made him uncomfortable.
Everyone in the village who is familiar with the Yun family knows that Yun Tian is studying with Si Hongcang, while Yun Ruo is also studying with his sister. In the past, in the entire Yannan Village, apart from the boys from a few wealthy and big families who read books, such as Jiang Ci and Fu Qinger, now even the poor Yun Ruo is also reading and literate?
And since Yun Ruo, who learned the word, not only has undergone a reborn change, but even the ugly red birthmark on his face has become less disgusting and disgusting.
On the contrary, what made people notice is that his bright and bright eyes are full of wisdom, and his aura is different from other boys, which is enough to be proud.
The most concerning thing is that he is also loved and protected by Si Hongcang. This is what they are most envied and jealous of as a boy! He, Yun Ruo, why?
Wang Rong thought to herself, since he can do it, of course she can do it too! Besides, my sister also went to school. So he pestered his sister to teach him to read and write!
It’s just that his sister knew that she wasn’t ready to study, so she gave up early after two years of study, so his learning was limited. Of course, because he was not convinced, for a momentary comparison, he went to Yun Ruobi to discuss the words, and finally found the true chapter. The knowledge that Yun Ruo understands is higher than that of him! So, people really can’t compare!
But Wang Rong was a smart boy who knew how to judge the situation. Not only able to bend and stretch, but also willing to work hard. At first, Yun Ruohui shied the blame on the grounds that he was ignorant of knowledge and did not dare to be arrogant. But Wang Rong is better at rubbing hard bubbles, and every time she sees an opportunity, she asks Yun Ruo to ask questions.
Although I don’t pester Yun Ruo every day, I only come to ask Yun Ruo if there is something I don’t understand. When he came, if Yun Ruo was busy, he would take the initiative to help with the work, and then ask for advice.
If Yun Ruo saw that he was so concerned, it would be hard to refuse. He had no choice but to answer whatever Wang Rong asked. But when answering the question, he would always refer to some of the truths that Si Hongcang told him about how to behave in the world, hoping to shed some light on him.
It wasn’t that he deliberately kept it, but Si Hongcang told him that when reading something in a book, it must be clear and understand its meaning. If it can be transparent, it will be better.
Like Yuntian, Si Hongcang is very cautious when teaching. Of course, Wang Rong’s way of learning was like dipping in soy sauce, and Yun Ruo couldn’t always help him with tutoring.
Although this is the case, Wang Rong has also benefited a lot and has changed a lot. He worked hard with Yun Ruo’s guidance, and he also begged his mother and father to buy a book, and he would ask for advice whenever he met Yun Ruo.
And he found that Yun Ruo really knew a lot. The important thing is that Si Hongcang also has a good relationship with his sister Yuntian. Therefore, whatever Yun Ruo said, he thought and studied carefully, and naturally grew faster than others. Now he is very close to Yun Ruo, even more diligent than Jiang Ci, Fu Qinger and Yang Duoer.
“No, are you free tomorrow?”
“Not very free.”
“You are very familiar with Sister A Cang?”
“She’s my sister’s friend.”
“Does she come to your house often?”
“When my sister was at home.”
“Oh, then…”
“Sorry, I should go feed the pigs.”
“You’re busy, I’m going back.”
“Um.”
After Wang Rong left, Yun Ruo looked at his distant back, and after being silent for a while, she went to pick up the pig food bucket and went to the pigsty.
