Chapter 393: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man (8)
Even though we arrived so late today, we must have started walking at dawn yesterday.
This is also the reason why those who marry into the mountains or get married rarely return to their parents' home.
How many women have the physical strength to walk for a whole day and night?
"Aunt, it was Grandpa who asked us to come. He said that my cousin is going to the county to take an exam soon, and asked us to accompany him so that it would be safe."
The wealth came the fastest, and I got the quick-answer ticket directly.
Qi Ercai patted his head and said, "Grandfather asked us to come here to accompany our cousin to take the exam. You insisted on coming here on your own. I'll break your legs when we get back."
"No way!"
Caiyun is very confident that his grandfather will not beat him.
Growing up, he only saw his grandfather beat his other cousins, but never his brothers.
Shuangshuang looked at the brothers with a gentle expression and said nothing.
He first let his nephews into the house and gave them some instructions.
"You guys sit down and take a rest first, auntie will get you something to eat."
It would be troublesome to prepare anything complicated so late, so I just made a bowl of dumpling soup for each person and added an egg, after all, it was my family who came.
The four of them put the baskets on their backs in the corner and sat down obediently.
At this time, Bao Ni heard the noise and came out to see her four cousins. She was also very happy, "Big cousin, second cousin, third cousin, and Brother Fortune, why are you here?"
"We're here to accompany our cousin to take the exam."
Caiyun got the right to answer again.
This time, the other wealthy people did not refute, but just nodded in agreement.
"Oh, then I'll call my brother out for you to meet."
"No, no, no! Cousin, please don't go call your cousin. If my dad finds out that I've disturbed my cousin's studies, he'll break my legs!"
Bonnie was amused by Caiyun's funny words and burst into laughter.
"Fifth Uncle is not as fierce as you say."
Caiyun did not refute his cousin's words, but just muttered something in a low voice.
"He's definitely not fierce in front of you. He's only fierce to us."
Bonnie went into her eldest brother's room.
"Brother, the four cousins are here. Do you want to come out and meet them?"
Dunzi, who was reading carefully, took out the cotton from his ears after hearing this, immediately put down the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand, and went to the main hall to greet his cousins enthusiastically.
Several cousins stood up at the same time.
Dacai rubbed his head and said to Dunzi in a simple and honest way, "Cousin, why are you out here? What you should focus on now is studying hard. Don't worry about us. Go back to your room."
"It's okay, cousin. I'm just reviewing. I've memorized everything I need to memorize."
"Oh, that's good. Otherwise, if Grandpa knew about it, he would have skinned us alive for disturbing your studies."
Dunzi saw that his cousins were indeed uncomfortable with him being here, so he said, "Cousins, please do as you please. I'm going back to my room first."
"Okay, okay, go study quickly. Go quickly, go quickly. I'm worried that if you go too slowly, my legs will be in danger."
Wealth is directly funny.
Shuangshuang, who came out of the dumpling soup, also found it funny.
There was no way around it. Her Qi family was dominated by men and weak by women. Among the five older brothers in the original owner's generation, she was the only one.
Otherwise, he would not follow the names given by his brothers and would marry Shuangshuang alone. I heard that it was to please him and have a daughter.
By Dacai's generation, there were only twelve monks, from Dacai to Cailai, and it looked like their number was increasing.
Shuangshuang was worried that if she gave birth to another bad boy, her father's hair would turn white again and he would not know how to make money.
The brothers didn't bother to be polite with their aunt, took the dumpling soup and prepared to eat.
Seeing that there was a fried egg on top, Caiyun quickly shouted, "Boni, come here quickly, this egg is for you."
Bonnie shook her head, "I've already eaten. We're going to have something delicious today, you guys can help yourself."
After they finished eating, Bonnie took the bowls away, and Shuangshuang asked about their family's recent situation.
"Everything is fine, you don't have to worry, it's just that grandma doesn't allow grandpa to go to the mountains with us anymore.
Grandma said she would reclaim a few acres of wasteland this year."
Just like before, wealth became the biggest problem for everyone.
"What is she going to plant on the cleared land?"
“Grow crops!”
"Why didn't your grandfather stop us? Can we just open up the wasteland outside the valley?
By then, those animals will come to visit every day."
“How could Grandfather possibly stop Grandmother?
My grandfather said, forget it, let her do what she wants. If we plant the crops, we will definitely harvest a few pounds of grain.
Otherwise, it can be used as bait to catch those animals."
Caiyun imitated his grandfather's words so vividly that everyone laughed.
They chatted until the early hours of the afternoon, around nine o'clock, when Shuangshuang said lovingly to them, "Okay, it's getting late. You'll sleep in Bonnie's room tonight. But the bed might be a little narrow, so who's going to sleep with your cousin?"
As a result, none of the brothers wanted to go.
"Aunt, let's squeeze in. But please don't disturb my cousin. He needs rest now."
"Yes, Auntie, you don't have to worry about us. If things really don't work out, we can just sleep on the floor."
Okay, seeing that they insisted, Shuangshuang didn't say anything else.
At this time, Bonnie came over with a basin to pour water for the brothers to wash, but the eldest brother quickly stood up and grabbed the basin.
"Boni, you don't need to worry about this place. Go and rest."
Bonnie has been staying at her grandmother's house since she was very young, so she is very familiar with these cousins.
The cousins loved and cared for their young cousin who was in her prime.
If this happened in the mountains, who would dare to ask his cousin to bring them a basin of water? Would he be kicked by his grandfather?
Only then did the brothers remember the backpack placed in the corner.
Dacai said to Huanyan in a muffled voice, "Auntie, this basket contains bacon from last year, and eggs from the chickens we raised.
Grandma asked us to bring some to nourish you guys."
Shuangshuang opened several backpacks and saw that one backpack was full of eggs, and the other two backpacks were filled with bacon, pheasants, rabbits, and other wild animals.
"I have these things too. Tomorrow you can carry them all to the restaurant and ask if they will accept them."
"No, no, my grandparents said they brought this especially for you."
"Alright, alright, with your aunt's skills, she still can't eat meat? She still needs you to deliver it?
Go to bed!"
The eloquence of these people was destined to be no match for his aunt, and in the end they could only go to the backyard to wash up dejectedly.
Bonnie slept with her mother and seemed very excited, although she was indeed very sensible, as she was only a few years old.
"Mom, if you guys go to the county town tomorrow, I'll go too, okay?"
"We have to travel early in the morning. Aren't you afraid of getting tired?"
"I'm not afraid. After leaving Qijia Mountain, I had to walk a long way before my uncles carried me on their backs."
"That's fine, anyway, you have your cousins here, so I don't have to worry about your safety."
Shuangshuang also asked Baoni to make her a cloth bag to protect the exam basket.
Bonnie was very skillful and this didn't require any technical skills, so she quickly made a bag according to Huanyan's instructions.
They both pulled the rope and were very satisfied.
Fold the bag and place it in the inside chest pocket of your shirt.
