At noon the next day, the sky was clear.

The sun was scattered on a stone bridge that had been eroded by time, the flat piers of the stone bridge had been eroded by the rain, and the sides of the bridge had left many black spots, but the bridge still sturdily spanned the creek.

The clear water of the river was flowing quietly, and a few brightly colored carp scurried under the bridge before disappearing into the dense clumps of shrimp grass. The villages on both sides of the creek have been harvested and are now planted with verdant seedlings that are thriving.

"Over there! Over there! ”

On a grassy slope not far from the bridge, several men were chasing a white-necked pig. This white-necked pig is a local common name, but it is actually a pig badger, and the meat is very delicious.

The badger was very clever, passing through the gap between them and burrowing into a small hole in the slope. Due to the well-developed claws of the hog badger, this kind of thing is very good at digging holes, but it is not known if this hole is its nest.

Dig!

The leader of the team was a slightly obese man, looking at the dark hole, and gave an order.

Multiply......

A shrill cry attracted the attention of the villagers who were working in the fields. After a while, a slightly obese man lifted a white-necked pig and walked triumphantly towards them.

"Monkey Four, you can have another meal tonight, be careful of you to death!" A stout woman looked at Monkey Si walking on the ridge and quipped at him.

"Zhang Cuihua, you are mistaken, Nineteen will come back in these days, I prepared it for him in advance, he likes this kind of white-necked pig!" The monkey raised the badger and smiled innocently, his eyes narrowed.

"Is it still called nineteen? People are now a talented master! The old patriarch said the day before yesterday that the court would send him food every month, and he would have no worries about food and clothing in his life! Zhang Cuihua spout, and then said with envy.

"That little bit of food is nothing, it's not enough for a day's expenses in our dyeing workshop!" Monkey Si is the cook of the dyeing workshop, and he knows the income of the dyeing workshop, so he immediately said disdainfully.

"Naturally, it's not much, but 'it's better to have a thousand dollars than a penny a day', and the nineteenth Xiucai master has money in his pocket in his life!" Zhang Cuihua held the hoe and said with a serious smile.

"You're cursing him, aren't you?" Monkey Si glanced at her, then pointed to the east and said proudly: "If you go to participate in the township test in the nineteenth of next year, you will definitely be promoted, he will be an official master!" ”

Zhang Cuihua realized that she had said the wrong thing, and was about to admit her mistake with a smile, but the stone lady who was standing on the road with Dou Miao said: "Monkey Four, you seem to have little knowledge in what you say, is it so easy for this show to take the exam?" The Huang Xiucai in my town is about the same age as the Xiucai in the nineteenth year, and the result is ...... Hehe! ”

It's no secret that Huang Xiucai is a talent in the eighteen-year-old, and he has a similar fate with Li Shizhen. was stuck in the scientific examination first, and finally passed the three scientific examinations, but failed in the township examination twice, and finally went to teach in a private school in discouragement.

"Our nineteen years are different from Huang Xiucai in your village!" Without waiting for Monkey Four to respond, Zhang Cuihua immediately retorted with a calm face. She really didn't understand if this was someone from her own village who poured such cold water.

The corners of Shi Niang's mouth hung with disdain, and she deliberately avoided the weight and said lightly: "What difference can there be, it's not all showmanship!" ”

"We can eat the imperial grain now, can that Huang Xiu do it?" Zhang Cuihua gritted her teeth and said.

"What's wrong, people are also the rice of Yueyue!" When Shi Niang heard this, she responded loudly and proudly.

Zhang Cuihua was speechless for a moment, but she didn't know that Huang Xiucai was also a Xiucai who could eat imperial food.

"Don't think we don't know anything!" Monkey Si spoke, looked at her coldly and said, "That Huang Xiu has only eaten food in the past few years, right?" He was only epiphytic at first, then proliferated, and finally borne, and we nineteen are already born now! ”

This......

Shi Niang didn't expect that these words could blind Zhang Cuihua, but she couldn't blind this knowledgeable monkey four, but she was unwilling after all: "So what!" How easy is it to take this exam, how many people are admitted in our county? ”

"We will definitely be able to pass the exam at nineteen!" Zhang Cuihua gritted her teeth and said. Although he felt that Lin Haoran was already very powerful when he was admitted to Xiucai, but in order to fight for this breath, he must be admitted to the lifting of people, so that this stinky girl can take a good look, our Changlin Village is very powerful.

"Huh...... Who doesn't think so! Shi Niang said, proudly carrying the weightless bean seedlings back to the village.

It was at this time that a carriage drove down from the small hillside across the river, and Zhang Cuihua, who was standing in the field, was stunned at first, but soon saw the person driving the car clearly, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Nineteen and Tiger Girl are back!"

The villagers who were working near the bridge saw that the person driving the car turned out to be a tiger girl, an extremely familiar little girl, although they were very surprised, but more than that, they were surprised.

It's home!

Hu Niu, who was driving the car, looked at the familiar stone bridge below, the road leading straight to the entrance of the village, and the familiar crops on both sides, and suddenly reached out and wiped her eyes.

This is the first time in her life that she has gone far away, and now when she returns here, she immediately feels extremely cordial, and tears seem to be about to fall at this moment, this is his dear hometown.

"Aunt Cuihua, we're back!"

When the tiger girl drove the carriage through the stone bridge, she was the first to see Zhang Cuihua who wiped her tears, and she was also very moved, and raised her hand vigorously towards Zhang Cuihua who was standing in the field.

"Auntie knows, just come back safely!"

Aunt Zhang Cuihua wiped away her tears without a trace and responded loudly to her, she liked this sensible little girl very much.

"Monkey Four, that thing is mine!"

Lin Haoran also pulled the curtain, and when he saw the monkey four standing in Tianba with a badger and smiling, he immediately couldn't help but say.

When Monkey Si heard this, he was even happier, so he nodded and said, "I know!" Know! It's yours, just waiting for you to come back! ”

Say hello and get back in the car.

"Oops! If you don't give way, my car won't have eyes! ”

Tiger Girl is not a good face, and when she saw Shi Niang standing in the middle of the road with a bean seedling, she said with a serious face. She has always disliked the stone lady who likes to stir up trouble.

Shi Niang actually didn't want to let it, thinking in her heart, she really thought it was great if she was just a showman. Just watched the tiger girl make a gesture to raise the whip, and finally flashed to the side with hatred.

When the carriage passed by, she saw Lin Haoran inside through the crack in the curtain of the carriage, and immediately felt helpless in her heart.

A showman is naturally nothing in the county, but he has to admit that he is a treasure in this kind of place.
