Jiang Cheng brought his two younger sisters to his second brother and saw that almost all the water chestnuts in his basket were sold out. He asked, “You don’t need me to stay and help, do you?”
“No need.” Jiang Quan waved his hand and proudly said: “I can handle it all by myself. ”
This was the first time he’d done business all by himself, and it was going smoothly. He felt a sense of achievement and naturally didn’t want his elder brother to get involved.
Jiang Cheng handed a sticky rice dumpling to his younger brother: “This is from Yingbao for you.”
Without hesitation, Jiang Quan took it, peeled off the mulberry leaf, bit half of it off in one go, and cheerfully said to his younger cousin, “Next time, I’ll buy a small whistle for you.”
Yingbao: …
She didn’t want a small whistle at all.
Since returning from the fair, Yingbao had been staring blankly under the apple tree.
It had been almost two years since the apple trees were planted and both of them had grown to over 10 feet tall, but they only grew in height and didn’t bear any flowers, which frustrated Yingbao.
What went wrong?
Should she wait for her father to come back and ask someone with knowledge to check?
Well, let’s put it aside for now, and think about how to make more money for the move to South Mountain.
At noon, Jiang Quan came back after selling all the water chestnuts, poured out the money bag on the table, and started counting the money with his elder brother.
“A total of five hundred and sixty coins, haha, we’re rich.” Jiang Quan was grinning from ear to ear, he started to divide the money.
“These water chestnuts were found by Yingbao and Dani, so they should share half of the profit.’
Jiang Quan pushed half of the money aside.
“Li Dao and Li He also helped with wrapping the water chestnuts in reed leaves, so let’s give them twenty… no, ten coins each.” Jiang Quan pulled out another twenty coins.
“Let’s also give Grandpa and Grandma fifty coins.”
He pulled out another fifty coins.
“Give Mom fifty coins too, and the rest is all mine. Hahaha.”
Jiang Quan embraced the remaining one hundred and sixty coins into his chest, grinning from ear to ear.
When he raised his head, he saw his elder brother looking at him with a stern face.
“What about mine?” Jiang Cheng asked.
“Yours?” Jiang Quan wrinkled his nose, “but you didn’t do anything.”
Jiang Cheng: “I counted the money.”
Jiang Quan: .
He wanted to slam his head on the wall.
Pouting, he reluctantly counted out ten coins from his share and handed it over, grinding his teeth, “Here you go! For counting the money!” Humph!
Jiang Quan quickly stuffed his money into his pocket, gathered up the money on the table into the bag, and then went to summon Dani to go to his uncles’ houses with him and divide the money with the girls.
Jiang Cheng, who was fourteen, didn’t complain about the small amount of money and picked up the ten coins one by one into his palm and locked them away in his cupboard.
The following day,
Yingbao put a rope around Youyou’s neck, stroked its head, and said, “Youyou,
I’m taking you to the town. You have to behave and not run around.” Youyou stared at its young master with big watery eyes.
“Don’t panic when you see strangers. I will be with you the whole time.” Yingbao patted its neck.
Youyou lowered its head and nuzzled her, then tilted its head and rubbed against her.
Yingbao understood and fed it some Wuding mushrooms.
When Jiang Sanlang heard that his daughter was going to the town to get a deer saddle, he immediately put down everything he was doing to accompany her.
“You are just a little kid, and people will take advantage of you. Let dad take
Youyou there instead.”
