Wings of Hung Chien - Chapter 14

This time, after removing the turnips and preserving the green tea leaves, only three catties and four taels were left. Since the high mountain where the tea is picked is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, for convenience, Si Hongcang called the mountain Wufeng Peak, and she called the tea that she made —— Wufeng Tea.

This trip up the mountain to pick tea is not just about picking tea, but Si Hongcang also specially brought back tea seeds as seedlings for cultivation.

Si Hongcang is very confident in the appearance of this Wufeng tea, and he is also very sure that this tea will definitely become a high-end tea that is hard to find in the future.

Therefore, she specially found a hillside area where the back sun was shrouded in clouds and mist and the soil quality of Wufeng Tea was close to that of Wufeng Tea, and she was going to plant seeds in the spring. Although the geographical conditions here are not as good as the original place of Wufeng Tea, the quality of the tea is definitely not too bad, and it can be sold as second-class tea.

Bai Yi, who was supposed to stay at Si Hong’s house for half a month, only stayed for ten days. In order to help Si Hongcang sell Wufeng tea, he left Yannan Village with tea in advance.

After finishing the farm work, Si Hongcang first took a detour to Chen Carpenter’s house, took the wooden tray she had designed to raise Tenebrio molitor, and came to Yun’s house to see how Yun Ruo raised Tenebrio molitor.

Before the busy farming season, only Yun Tian and her mother Yun Shan were enough to work in the fields. And the master of the Yun family, the Song family, was always at home, so even if Si Hongcang came to the Yun family, he wouldn’t be gossiped. Besides, since Si Hongcang is only eleven years old at the moment, if she really wants to avoid the defense of men and women, she has to wait until she is fourteen years old.

When they came to the entrance of Yun’s house, they saw the father and son of the Yun family sitting under the porch. The Yun family’s father, Mrs. Song, was taking the soles of his shoes, while Yun Ruo was sewing winter clothes with flying needles in one hand.

At this time, the Yun family’s father, whose soles were half covered, probably bowed his head for a long time to cover the soles, and his neck was sore. When he raised his head and stretched out his hand to rub his neck, he saw that Si Hongcang had quietly stepped into his yard. If I hadn’t discovered that she was here first, I might have been startled by her again!

To be honest, the Song family was often taken aback by Si Hongcang’s silent appearance recently! He laughed and cursed at her in his heart. This little girl, why is there no sound when she walks? ! They all have a hard time walking with ghosts.

“Ah Cang, you are here.”

“Hey, Uncle Song is good.”

“Okay, come in and have a glass of water.”

“Okay.” Si Hongcang held the wooden plate in one hand and the heavy hemp bag in the other.

“Sister Sihong.”

“Hey, I brought a wooden tray, and the mealworms will be raised in this wooden tray from now on. I also brought rice bran, corn flour, vegetable leaves, and some bacon.”

“What are you doing with these? There are many of these in the house, and there is no shortage of that. There is also this bacon, such a good and rare thing, do you also bring it?”

Of course, the Song family liked the bacon that Si Hongcang marinated very much, just because the bacon she made was several times better than the ones made by others. But if you like it, you like it, so it’s not always good to take her bacon! Besides, in ordinary people, bacon is a rare thing only willing to eat during Chinese New Year and festivals.

“Uncle Song, I know, but I can’t let everything out of your house, right? I also have a share of this worm, but it turns out that Yun Ruo does it all alone, how can I be embarrassed. Besides, I can eat this bacon by myself. How much? I’m afraid you don’t want it?”

“You child, uncle can’t bear you to bring such things, too used to it.”

“No, it just happens to be at home, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get it out.”

“Look at what you said, A Tian said that every time you go up the mountain to hunt with you, you specially asked her to bring back one or two more or even more. You also taught A Tian to read and write.” Song Shi looked at her with a look of “you don’t know how to plan for yourself”, and smiled at Si Hongcang with emotion.

“That’s because I think Sister Yuntian is smart. It’s a pity not to read, so I taught her.”

“Oh, uncle can’t tell you that you have read books. Anyway, I don’t think this worm eats much. You don’t have to use it like this at home, you know?”

“I would be embarrassed for that.”

“That’s it. By the way, Ruo Er,”

“Ai.”

“Don’t you think that the clothes you sewed in your hands belonged to Ah Cang? Just because she is here, let her check whether they fit or not. It doesn’t matter how big they are, she is growing.”

“Ai.”

“Help me sew winter clothes so soon? I’m not in a hurry, I should help Aunt Yun and uncle sew clothes first.”

“You Aunt Yun and A Tian have uncles and I sew them.”

“Sister Si Hong, come here, you can take a look.” Yun Ruo handed over the clothes to Si Hongcang to try on.

“it is good.”

“By the way, Sister Si Hong, I have already sewed the pockets you mentioned for you here and here. Do you see it right?” Yun Ruo remembered the side pockets that Si Hongcang told him, so she sewed the pockets you said. Point out the position of the pocket and ask her if she sewed it right.

“Yes, thank you so much Yun Ruo.”

“Don’t be angry.”

“By the way, I’ll ask my uncle to count the money for making clothes this time.”

“I said, can’t I let you owe it?”

“It’s not good, Xiao Mi will feel uneasy.”

“You are the real one.”

Song Shi couldn’t say anything to Si Hongcang, so he said to her with a smile, “Ruo’er sewed this dress for you, you can settle it with him.”

“Ah? Daddy——-” Yun Ruo turned around and called out to his Daddy in surprise.

“Am I wrong.”

“What’s wrong?”

An old man carried a pole and stepped into Yun’s house.

“Father?!” This time it was Song’s big surprise!

It is not easy for this old man to visit his daughter-in-law’s house. It can be seen that he is in good health. You must know that the road is quite long, and it is also a mountain road! It would take two or three hours to walk the road alone. Unless the family has some money willing to take a carriage or an ox cart. Otherwise, you can only rely on the two legs to kick and kick with the step wheel.

“Grandpa!” Yun Ruo shouted, her face full of joy and ran over to help.

The old man is the father of the Song family, the Zhao family. This old man loves Yun Ruo very much. For his face, he even tried a lot of remedies, but they didn’t work.

“Ai!” The old man kindly agreed, and smiled kindly at Yun Ruo, “Ah Ruo, you have grown taller! Come, come to Grandpa. What are you doing now?”

Yun Ruo pursed her lips and smiled and said, “Grandpa, I’m making money.” She walked to the old man and squatted down.

“So powerful?! But, what do you make money with?”

Yun Ruo pointed at Si Hongcang and smiled at the old man with the needlework in her hand, “Now I’m helping Sister Si Hong to sew clothes to make money.”

Zhao patted his head, thinking that after her eldest daughter came to see her son before, she went back and told herself that this grandson was almost gone, and my heart ached!

Although the old man is in his sixties, his body is very tough. His face was quite rich, not as shriveled as other old people, his brows and eyes were always smiling, his hair was neatly combed, and his grey cloth clothes and trousers were half-new.

“That’s it, hahaha…” Zhao shi looked towards Si Hongcang in the direction pointed by his grandson Yunruo.

But when he saw Si Hongcang, his eyes widened immediately and his heart jumped. He thought to himself, “Is this little baby a girl?” ! A girl actually looks better than a boy’s! This is too…that.

However, it can be seen that Si Hongcang does not feel disgusted or disgusted with his grandson, Sun Yunruo. Just at this point, Si Hongcang’s favor in the grandfather’s heart rose.

“Are you A Cang?” Unfortunately, I heard that she is a soft lady who can’t lift her shoulders or hands. Zhao shi gave Si Hongcang a thoughtful look.

“Yes, hello Grandpa.” Because I didn’t know what to call it, I had to call Mrs Zhao Grandpa just like Yun Ruo.

“well.”

“Sister Sihong, are you here to see how the insects are raised?”

“Ai.”

“Dad, grandpa, I’ll take Sister Si Hong to the backyard to see how the insects grow.”

“Oh, go go go.”

Si Hongcang smiled and nodded to Yun Ruo’s father and grandfather, and then followed Yun Ruo to the backyard.

After Si Hongcang and Yun Ruo left, Mrs. Zhao asked her son Mrs. Song, “What kind of bugs did Ruo’er take A Cang to see?”

Speaking of this, Song Shibian said to his father, and Si Hongcang told them that they can raise chickens, fish and shrimp, and the feces of the mealworms can also be added to pig food to feed pigs.

“Ouch, isn’t this Tenebrio a treasure?”

“Isn’t that true?” Although, because there is no evidence to prove it, the Song family is still skeptical about the various benefits of this Tenebrio molitor.

“I see this Ah Cang, it seems to be good to Yun Ruo, and I don’t see her disgusting Ruo’er’s face.”

“Yeah, there’s nothing to say about A Cang being really nice to Ruo’er. She hurts Ruo’er just like A Tian. She is really a pretty good child.”

“However, I heard that she is a soft lady who can’t be raised?”

“That was in the past. Now A Cang may have done it. Not only can he work in the fields, but he can also hunt in the mountains! Speaking of which, if it weren’t for A Cang, Ruo’er would be gone.”

“How do you say this?”

“When Ruo’er fell into the water and was picked up from the lake by Doctor Zhang, he couldn’t even breathe. Later, A Cang snatched it from my arms as soon as he came, and said that he was helping Ruo’er. He sighed or something, and then pressed and pressed again, hey, in the end, he really saved Ruo’er.”

“So powerful?! Can you be rescued from drowning? This is something I’ve never heard of before!”

“No! Ah Cang, this child is really touching.”

“By the way, you said that A Cang is mouth to mouth to Ruo’er? Shouldn’t A Cang be told…”

“Father, don’t think too much, as long as A Cang doesn’t mean that to Ruo’er, I won’t let Ruo’er depend on A Cang! Even if Ruo’er can’t get married, my wife and I will raise her. His life.”

“Hey, you said that, what else can I say? You really think about your son.”

“Isn’t it okay? I also think Ruo’er can marry an in-law who suits his heart, but with his face, who would want to marry him?” Song’s heart ached when he thought of his son’s face.

Song shi and Zhao shi were busy with their work, and sighed and sighed at home.

Zhao Shi hurriedly changed the subject, only to think of the purpose of his coming from afar.

Zhao said to his son, “Li Acai from our village, her son is very capable. I caught three pigs at the end of last year, and now they are more than 100 catties. By the twelfth lunar month, I’m afraid they will lose 200 catties. Today’s pork The price is about twenty cents a pound, and a pig might cost three or four taels of silver!”

Song Shi clicked his tongue and said, “So much? Then what does his family use to feed the pigs?”

Zhao praised, “Otherwise, how can her son be able to do it! The child always gets up early and works in the dark, putting down his **** and picking up a needle. He will cut hogweed, open up wasteland and plant sweet potatoes and soybeans. He used a guillotine knife to smash it finely, and then mixed it with rice bran to feed the pigs.”

Song Shi was moved and asked, “Dad, how old is her son?”

Zhao glanced at his son, understood what Song meant, and said to him in detail, “I’m fourteen this year. I’m also handsome, and I’m the most gentle and careless person. I always smile when I see people. I always rush to do my work, for fear of tiring my mother and my father. That’s really a mouth and a pair of hands! If anyone in the village doesn’t boast, people who come to propose marriage will have to step on the threshold of his family. But Li Acai insisted on not letting go, saying It is reluctant to stay for a few more years. Also, if this son gets married, half of her family will be destroyed. Her eldest daughter called her husband spoiled, and she can’t keep up with half of her sister’s ability, not a person who can hold a door. How can you say that there is such a big difference in the birth of this father?”

Song shi was very tempted to hear it, but thinking about her own situation is not good, I don’t know if others dislike it or not. So, he asked again, “Does his family have any requirements? For example, in terms of family background and betrothal gifts.”

Zhao replied, “Then Li Acai is honest, and he really loves his son, and he didn’t want to exchange his son for money. He said that as long as the girl has a good temperament, let his son fall in love.” Zhao is for this matter today. I came here to tell my granddaughter about this good boy, so I mentioned my son in my words.

Song shi was really happy when he heard it, and secretly made up his mind to ask a matchmaker to come and talk. He is very confident. In terms of talent, who can compare to his daughter?

Having said that, Si Hongcang and Yun Ruo came back to the yard and just heard the word “xiang zhi”.

Of course, Yun Ruo knew the meaning of the word Xiangjian. So he asked, “Who wants to meet whom?”

Zhao shi told him what he had just said to his father and re-transcribed it again, but halfway through, he was busy, blaming himself for being careless, saying that these marriages, appearances, etc. should avoid grandsons. Isn’t this stabbing a knife in his heart? !

Yun Ruo listened with relish without knowing it, and couldn’t help lowering her head and pursing her lips and laughing. I thought to myself: If my sister knew that she had reached the age to be seen, I don’t know what her expression would be, and I don’t know if this Li Acai’s son was really as good as her grandfather said.

On the other hand, Si Hongcang was very surprised. He never thought that Yun Tian had reached the age of dating someone! My heart screamed: But it’s too early, isn’t it? She’s only fifteen years old, isn’t she?

So, when I looked at the grandfather of Yun Ruo’s family, it turned out that he was here as a matchmaker.
