In May of the lunar calendar, it is the season when cherries are ripe, and a craze for eating cherries has emerged in Chang'an City.

In fact, as early as April, some high-ranking families ate new cherries this year. The so-called first fruit in early spring, many people are proud to be able to eat new cherries this year early.

By mid-to-late May, the cherries outside Chang'an City mature on a large scale, and farmers often carry a load of cherries to sell them in the market. The price is not cheap, but there are many people who can afford it.

I heard that many people want to cut the cherries open and peel them, then pour them with butter, cane, honey, etc. for consumption.

If you can be so particular, the economic conditions are naturally good. If you change to an ordinary family, don’t talk about butterfly slurry, you can only choose the cheapest one if you want to eat cherries.

At noon that day, they carried the loads and went to their streets to hawk. The girl Qi Niang wanted to eat, but she had no money, so she had to look at Si Niang, hoping that she could pay for it.

Si Niang went out and called the cherry seller and looked at his goods. She thought it was not bad, so she asked him the price.

"This young lady is also a keen person. The cherries in my house are all born from old trees. They taste sweet and juicy, and the fruit core is only a tiny bit." This man said so much that he undoubtedly wanted to sell for a higher price.

"Just tell me how much it costs." Si Niang is not short of money, she is just accustomed to being frugal.

"Just use my water scoop to pack it, a scoop of cherries and twelve scoops of cherries." The other party said.

"Why is it so expensive?" Before Si Niang could speak, Qi Niang jumped out and thought it was expensive. Two days ago, my sister also bought cherries with her, and bought half a pound of seven cents. Why did this guy sell cherries for a scoop of 12 cents today?

"My little lady doesn't know that my cherry is different from other people's cherries." The man said, and took two cherries out from the basket, handed them to Siniang and Qiniang. He also realized that the two sisters should really have money to buy cherries themselves.

Si Niang tasted a cherry, which was indeed very different from what she bought two days ago. Today, the cherry is thicker and has a higher sweetness. After taking a bite, the sweet juice in her mouth is indeed delicious.

After tasting a cherry, the girl Qi Niang no longer felt expensive. She just looked at Si Niang, hoping that Sister would not think it was expensive.

"If I buy five ladles, it will be counted as fifty cents, how about it?" Si Niang bargained.

"Fifty-five cents can't be less." The other party also took a step back.

"Okay, there's fifty-five cents over there, you can give me five ladles." Si Niang said, and asked Qi Niang to go in and get the money and the wooden basin containing cherries.

When the other party saw that the little lady was so cheerful, he was very happy. When he took his water scoop made of gourds and put cherries into the small wooden basin brought out by Qi Niang, he was also very happy, and each scoop was so sharp that it was filled.

Not all of the cherries that cost 55 cents were bought by Si Niang. There was a gentleman in the yard. When he went back in the afternoon, he would definitely bring some back to him.

Their husband's surname is Zhao. Master Zhao was a little bit too high when he was young, and he has not been able to get a job even though he has not been able to get a job even now.

Nowadays, he teaches these little ladies to read in the Luo family yard every day, and his life is stable. In addition to the treatment given by the Luo family, the families of the young ladies who come to take classes also have to give him some things every now and then, sometimes meat, vegetables, eggs, and sometimes grain, rice and flour. For families like Master Zhao, these are very practical.

After school this day, Master Zhao took a basket and slowly went home.

The basket he was carrying had more than a dozen eggs, a bacon, and a scoop of cherries bought by Si Niang and the others.

When Master Zhao entered the yard, his old wife was chopping wood outside the firewood shed.

Master Zhao's wife is more than ten years younger than him. Now Master Zhao looks like a little old man, but his wife is still very strong and has a lot of strength. She is chopping wood and carrying water every day, but she never calls her tired.

"What did you take another one today?" His old wife was a little happy when she saw him coming back with a basket. She even put down the hatchet and looked over to Master Zhao.

"There are cherries, wait for you to wash them, and everyone will come back tonight. Let's eat them together." Zhao and his son said, and handed the basket to his wife.

"Tsk, these cherries are so sweet, there are bacon and eggs." His old wife pinched a cherry and put it in her mouth, then flipped through the basket. Seeing that there was still a bacon and more than a dozen eggs, she felt very happy.

"It's good to teach female students. If you had known this, you should have started doing this early in the morning." Mr. Zhao's old wife sorted out the things with a happy look on her face and went into the house with a basket.

"Don't talk about this anymore, I still want shame." The old man begged for forgiveness, and Luo Yong was invited to teach at the Luo family yard, and openly recruiting female students in their own yard. That's a different matter.

His old wife had already walked to the corridor at this time, but she was almost in the room. When she heard what he said, she was immediately angry and didn't call her.

"You old guy, when you had to work with someone who was a teenage son and worked on you, you didn't see you having any face. Why did you just teach people how to learn a few big words today, and suddenly you got to be ashamed again?"

"..." Master Zhao was so angry that she had nothing to say.

When the Tang Dynasty was just founded, all walks of life in the country were in trouble and there were many vacancies for officials. Master Zhao spent all the time doing everything around the world, hoping that he would be valued by the people above, and he was forced to have room to realize his ambitions. Once he gained power, he would be prosperous and prosperous. At that time, many people got up like this.

It’s a pity that Master Zhao has never met his mentor, and he is a little bit too high and not too low. He doesn’t even look down on the identity of an ordinary official. After all, he has been in his sixties and is still a white person.

Whether it is not appreciated by talent or not, or the family background is not strong enough, in short, Master Zhao has given up.

He taught the young ladies in the Na Luo family, earning some money, grain, cloth, and returning from time to time with some rice, flour and food, and also making the grandchildren at home happy, as the only way to compensate his sons.

"Aweng, you have come back with food today." When it was getting darker, the little babies playing crazy outside also returned home. When they saw their Aweng sitting in the yard, they all came up to ask for food.

When Master Zhao's wife came out with the washed cherries, the children were so happy that they almost jumped up.

Cherries are so expensive, and it is not easy for them to make money, so they naturally don’t want to buy them. The little lady of the Luo family is generous and gave so much at one time. The cherries are so sweet, the flesh is so thick, and the fruit core is so small, so the price is definitely not cheap.

"Grandma! I want one more, give me one!" Such a small little baby, like a little swallow in a swallow's nest, open his mouth and beg for food every day. The parents who can afford it are happy, and the parents who can't afford it are anxious.

If it weren't for Master Zhao's recent search for a good job, how could these little babies in their family eat such good cherries?

"Grandma, I want it more!"

"What if you have it, you've eaten a few of them."

"What else do I want..."

"You mothers work hard outside all day long, so they should leave some for them."

For these children, Ye Niang is all adults and should not be greedy, but for the elderly, children are children, and no matter how old they grow, they are still their own children.

If you have something delicious, you always want to keep it for them. If you have a good piece of cloth, you will think about making clothes for them. Just like when they were young, the idea of ​​being a parent is probably like this.

Although there have been frequent rumors recently that someone was forced to marry by his parents and wanted to push her into the fire pit, there are relatively few parents in this world who can do such things.

For example, the little ladies who were free classes in the Luo family, their parents gave Master Zhao something to express respect and gratitude, and the other hand, they naturally hoped that Master Zhao could save these things and not let his daughter suffer any grievances during the free classes.

At this time, everyone was eating cherries at this time, but Luo Yong and Hou Lin and others were not the only one who ate them together, but put them on the low table on the wooden couch with a porcelain bowl, so that the young ladies who were sitting around the low table to correct their homework could use it themselves.

A while ago, Si Niang just complained to others, saying that Luo Yongyi had to teach so many students alone, and it took a lot of time to correct homework every day. Then these young ladies who came to class every day volunteered to help.

Then Luo Yong gave them a stack of answers and asked them to correct the answers. This correction took many days. After class every day, Si Niang would ask her brother to take out her homework in her house to correct it, day after day, without any sign of getting bored.
