Six-Year-Old Baojiao Is Busy in Building a Kingdom

Chapter 6: the poor

Back to the house,

Wang Zhuangzhi was handling a pheasant in the courtyard, while Erya and Xiao Li crouched down at the side and stared excitedly. They were not afraid at all, but eager to try.

Liu Zhihua looked around but did not see Jiao Jiao, so he asked, "Hey, where is Jiao Jiao?"

Wang Zhuangzhi pointed to the back, and said in a low voice: "This girl has been talking about picking herbs for Qiu Sheng ever since she returned, so why doesn't he go behind the house to pick weeds."

“Hey, no one saw, what if I scratched my hand by plucking the grass.”

As he spoke, Liu Zhihua handed the pheasant to Qiu Sheng behind him, turned around and ran into the backyard in a hurry.

Qiusheng looked at the pheasant in his hand, walked over and skillfully tied it up with a soft tree stick and hung it in the shade, then rolled up his sleeves and went to collect firewood.

Erya sees the pheasant being hung by her older brother, so she knows that the bird will be reared and sold for money. He saw a pheasant in Dad's hand.

After her chicken feathers were doused in hot water, the white part of her chicken was visible. A chicken had only two legs, one for Jiaojiao and another for Xiaodi, then disappeared.

He felt a little disappointed, he had not eaten a good chicken claw for a long time, but when he thought about eating chicken, he licked his mouth, forget it, he would be happy if he had meat.

Xiao Li looked at the chicken in the basin, sucked his nose and licked his mouth, looked at his father excitedly and asked, "Dad, can I have two chicken legs?"

Wang Zhuangzhi had yet to speak, Erya poked her forehead angrily, and scolded: "A chicken only has two legs, what should I do Jiaojiao if you eat it all!"

Xiao Li scrunched his neck in fear, "Then, I'll eat one."

Wang Erya snorted, stood with his hands on his hips and said, "Xiao Li, you are Jiaojiao's second elder brother, you should share everything with Jiaojiao in the future, otherwise I won't hit you!"

"Soak~ I understand." Wang Xiaoli shrunk behind her father.

Wang Zhuangzhi sighed at the sight of this, and comforted him: "Hey, Dad will kill some more pheasants next time."

Wang Zhuangzhi's face was also a little worried even though he said very comfortingly.

There were too many hunters in the nearby hills, and there was nothing left. He had been unable to hunt prey for the past few days, and the hills were much more dangerous. Some of the hunters in the nearby village had left and never returned. He has a wife and children to support. Don't you dare take the risk.

Seeing that it was time for Qiusheng's tuition to be paid, and the only money left in the family was not enough to cover the school fees. Jiaojiao had just recovered from a serious illness, and his body was already fragile. Dr. Li ordered him to eat grains and fine meat...

Qiu Sheng brought Chai here, saw his father frowning, pursed his lips and said, "Dad, our school will be renovated, I will not go to school for now, I will not go to school, and I don't have to pay this year's tuition."

Wang Zhuangzhi was overjoyed at first when he heard those words, but then he asked anxiously: "Qiu Sheng, if you don't go to school, won't you be able to learn? Did his teacher say that he would teach somewhere else?"

Qiu Sheng shook his head, lowered his head and explained: "It's okay, Dad, just study at home."

Wang Zhuangzhi had never been suspicious, his brows involuntarily loosened, and he felt more relaxed when he was in no hurry to learn.

He smiled and got up and picked up the pheasant on the wall, and threw it directly into the hot water to handle it together. It just so happens that it has four legs, one for each of the four children.

Erya's eyes sparkled, thinking about the chicken leg meat that would be eaten today, she immediately rolled up her sleeves to help, "Dad, I'll help you pull out her hair!"

"I want to too!"

Xiao Li also started rubbing his sleeves to pull out the chicken feathers, Wang Zhuangzhi hurriedly stopped the two of them, "Oh, slow down, careful with hot hands."

Qiu Sheng hesitated to speak, if his father behaves like this, I fear that his mother will be angry again.

This yellow mud house of the Wang family has open spaces in the front and back, surrounded by sturdy wooden fences, a small wooden cabin in the front yard for cooking, and some sundries in the courtyard.

The backyard is used to dry clothes on a typical day, and there is a small chicken coop in the corner, inside which there are only three chickens.

At the moment,

Liu Zhihua was digging eggs in the chicken coop, and said to Jiaojiao who was in the distance: "Honey, don't come here, just stand there and wait for mom."

"Well, that's it."

Jiaojiao was wearing a small pink cloth shirt, holding some unknown tree roots and grass leaves in her hands, her small face was like white dough, and her pouting face was full of curiosity.

The old chicken crowed and crowed, and the mother actually took out two eggs from underneath.

It turns out that chickens lay eggs like this, and this is the egg candies that their mothers make every day.

Liu Zhihua long groped under the other two chickens, but he did not find any eggs. He took the two chickens, looked at the barren meadow, and scolded angrily: "You did not live up to your expectations, you live all day long!" I don't eat less, but I don't even lay a single egg, I'll kill all of you!”

"Cluck..." The old chickens were running around in the cage, clucking in fear.

Liu Zhihua looked at the two eggs in his arms and sighed, this is enough for Jiaojiao to eat.

There is not much oil and water at home, and eating three meals a day is sweet potato soup and pickled vegetables. Fortunately, the head of the family killed two pheasants today, and the rest could only be exchanged for eggs and refined grains in the market, to equip Jiaojiao and Qiusheng's body.

Jiaojiao saw Mother's attention being distracted, walked in small steps, and gently called out: "Mother~"

Liu Zhihua hurriedly patted the chicken feather on his body, walked with the egg in his mouth, and held his daughter lying on the ground with one hand, "Hey, honey, go with mom, go with me, be careful that these chickens peck." You."

Baojiao obediently wrapped his arms around Mother's neck, and said as he walked out: "Mother, I am taking medicine. Let's cook the medicine for the older brother later."

As a ginseng sari, he knew all the ingredients of this medicine. He heard Grandpa Li talk about his efficacy that day, and he remembered everything. Coupled with his hundred-year-old beard, his elder brother's illness would definitely be cured.

Liu Zhihua looked at the roots of the tree and the grass leaves held by his daughter's small hands, shook her head and smiled, and persuaded casually: "OK, after lunch, I'll cook it for you."

Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Liu Zhihua came out with Jiaojiao in his arms, and seeing Erya and Xiaoli holding a bare chicken, he was almost annoyed!

Jiaojiao saw that her mother's skin was not good, so she involuntarily covered her ears.

Seeing his daughter closing her ears in fear, Liu Zhihua held back her anger again, took a deep breath and persuaded, "Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao, mother, don't talk out loud, don't talk out loud, let the eldest brother take you back home.to play with the clay statue, okay?"

Hearing the bright eyes of the clay statue of Jiaojiao, he nodded obediently and said, "OK."

“Qiusheng, bring Jiaojiao back home.” Liu Zhihua shouted.

Wang Qiusheng patted the firewood stick attached to his body, stepped forward to take the little sister from her mother's embrace, and said gently, "Hold me, brother."

Qiu Sheng saw his mother looking unhappy, then he explained to his father: "Mother, don't rush to pay the tuition this year, that's why I want us all to eat chicken claws, he said, don't blame me."

Liu Zhihua became even more furious when he heard it, and said angrily: "Your father is a fool, isn't the chicken and chicken claw both meat! The kids are cute and he's cute, our chickens don't lay eggs, and there's no oil and water in the house, Jiaojiao is seriously ill. Chuyu was supported by an egg, and she thought of exchanging the chicken for eggs and refined grains, but now she had messed things up because of her carelessness."

"Ahem, Mom, don't be mad. If I didn't go to school, I'd copy books to the bookstore if I had the time. One copy will cost 300 characters. I can make money to subsidize my family." Qiu Sheng coughed while covering his lips and tilting his head.

Jiaojiao came down from the arms of her older brother, pulled up Mom's collar, looked at Mom with dark eyes and said seriously: "Mom, don't blame Dad, don't blame me, Jiaojiao will also learn to make money to subsidize the family."
