Chapter 163

Zhong Laosan was holding a slaughtered chicken in the yard and yelling, "Dad, how do we eat this chicken?"

Seeing no one responded, he put the chicken down and went into the main room.

In fact, Mr. Zhong had heard it, but because his private money was discovered by his wife, he was a little panicked and ignored his younger son.

As soon as Zhong Laosan entered, he saw bunches of green fruits in the basket on the table. He picked them up with some curiosity.

"what is this?"

"This is delicious, third brother, please try it," said Zhong Ruyi.

When he heard that it was delicious, Zhong Laosan rubbed his hands on his body after killing the chicken and ate it directly. His eyes lit up, "What kind of fruit is this? It's delicious! Sweet!"

"Third brother, if it tastes good, eat more." Zhong Ruyi handed him another string of noodles with a malicious smile.

"......" Zhong Laosan.

"What's wrong? Little sister, if you have any problem, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can! But don't smile so scary, it gives me goose bumps."

Zhong Ruyi smiled sweetly, "Third brother, look, didn't I bring a little brother back? Can you let him sleep with you tonight?"

"Okay, okay! He sleeps with me!" Zhong Laosan agreed readily.

At dinner time, Zhong Ruyi was given two large chicken legs. Father Zhong said righteously, "My daughter was frightened today, so she should eat two chicken legs to replenish her energy. If it weren't for my daughter, you wouldn't even get to eat the chicken butt. Why don't you thank my daughter quickly!"

Zhong Ruyi certainly couldn't finish two chicken legs, so she gave one to Cuicui. The rest of the chicken was divided among the family, and Jiang Qin got a chicken wing.

Cuicui had eaten half a bunch of grapes in the evening, and now her stomach was full. She put the bitten chicken leg into the bowl and whispered, "Aunt, I can't eat the chicken leg. How about I give it to you?"

Zhong Ruyi couldn't eat any more, and finally the chicken leg went into Zhong's father's bowl. "Life is getting better and better. You little kids don't even like to eat chicken legs anymore."

Cuicui pouted and said, "Grandpa, I'm so full. I can't eat any more. It's not that I don't like chicken legs."

Shitou and his children also ate too many grapes. They usually eat a bowl of grapes at dinner, but today they said they were full after only half a bowl.

Tiedan also secretly hid a few grapes in his clothes and ran out as soon as he was full.

Not only Tiedan, but also Shitou and Xiaohe hid some in their clothes, apparently to give to other children.

Cuicui said, "Aunt, I know who they want to give it to. They all want to give it to Shuisheng. Shuisheng is a good kid. After he comes back from the private school, he teaches other children in our village how to write. Shitou and the others follow him every day."

Aunt Zhao’s grandson Zhao Shuisheng is a very easy-to-get-along-with child. Usually, children of his age are very naughty.

Just like a stone and a stream, they go up the mountain to catch insects and go down to the river to fish every day, and there is no time to stop.

But Zhao Shuisheng has been a quiet person since he was young. He would sit quietly while others were playing. An old scholar in the village said that this kind of personality was suitable for studying.

So Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth and sent him to a private school.

Shuisheng did not disappoint his family's expectations. Among dozens of children in the private school, he was the most diligent. He could understand everything the teacher said and even apply it to other situations.

The teacher praised him several times and advised Aunt Zhao and her family to take good care of their grandson, saying that he would definitely have a great future.

Zhong Ruyi looked at her elder and second sisters-in-law, "It's about time for Shitou and Xiaohe to go to private school, right? Have you asked about the two children?"

Li Guihua had already made up her mind. She smiled and said, "I have already told your eldest brother that we will send Shitou away next month. Tiedan is still young so we won't send him there. We don't want him to have a great future or learn etiquette. As long as Shitou is willing to study, your eldest brother and I will grit our teeth and support him."

Liu Yu Niang also nodded, "Xiao He told me that he envied Shui Sheng for going to a private school. I have promised him that I will send him and Shi Tou together when the time comes."

Both families made a lot of money last year, so each family can support one child to go to school. Tiedan is still young, and by the time he is old enough to go to private school, no one knows what the family situation will be like. At least it won't be worse than it is now.

The next morning, Zhong Ruyi asked Jiang Qin and her third brother to go up the mountain with her, but before leaving, she gave her third brother a look: Don't disturb our date later.

snort!

Zhong Laosan snorted coldly, but did not dare to disobey his younger sister. He could only walk silently behind the two of them, trying to scare Chen Dongzhi who was walking in front with his eyes.

"Brother Dongzhi, are there so many beehives on the mountain? Didn't you give me two cans last time? Why are you still going up the mountain to collect honey?"

Chen Dongzhi glanced at the girl beside him, and couldn't help but curl up his lips. "I found it on the cliff before. I only cut half of it. I went to check it out a few days ago and found that the other half had been filled in."

The two talked as they walked up the mountain, and occasionally they would meet villagers who would greet them.

If four people went up the mountain together, others would not say anything if they saw them, after all, three of the four people were from the Zhong family.

Chen Dongzhi was holding a handful of grass in his hand, which he would use to fumigate the bees later. On his back was a basket containing several bamboo hats with veils sewn on them.

When they got there, Chen Dongzhi pointed at the cliff and said, "Look, that's it."

Zhong Ruyi and the other two looked over. They originally thought it was just a small beehive, but they didn't expect there were so many of them, densely packed with bees.

"So many! The mountain wall is a bit high, should we cut less?" Zhong Ruyi said.

Chen Dongzhi nodded, "Just cut one side, and come back for the rest in two months. Then we will have an endless supply of honey."

Zhong Laosan wanted to say something amazing, but he held back and just said, "It's OK."

In return, Chen Dongzhi looked at Zhong Ruyi with an aggrieved look.

"Ahem! Third brother, how about this: when can you find a beehive, let me, your sister, have a taste of the sweetness?"

Zhong Laosan touched his nose and stopped talking.

Jiang Qin couldn't help laughing, Sister Ruyi's brother was so funny.

Each of the four people wore a conical hat, and Chen Dongzhi also wore specially made gloves on his hands.

Gauze was sewn along the edge of the hat, and two holes were dug for the eyes, and several stitches were sewn back and forth with thread to prevent bees from running in through the eyes. The eyes can still vaguely see the situation outside.

First they set fire to the grass they brought and used the smoke to drive away most of the bees. Then Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Laosan took machetes and started cutting.

There was the buzzing sound of bees all around, flying around people.

Zhong Laosan didn't wear gloves and was stung on his hand. He cried out in pain.

Chen Dongzhi didn't pay attention. He only focused on the movements of his hands, and soon a large piece of honey was taken out.

Zhong Laosan reached out to take it and handed it to Jiang Qin, but when he took it, a bee stung him again. He couldn't bear the pain and threw his hat off with his hand. His hat flew to Chen Dongzhi's head and knocked it crooked.

A bee flew in following the hat that was knocked askew, and Chen Dongzhi didn't say anything.
