Tianbao was both happy and anxious along the way. He was happy that he had paper and pen to write with, and his sister even bought him three books!

But books, paper and pens were very expensive. He watched with his own eyes as his sister counted more than 200 copper coins to the bookstore shopkeeper!

That’s more than two hundred copper coins! Rice is only ten copper coins per catty, so didn’t I spend more than twenty catties of rice!

The more Tianbao thought about it, the more guilty he felt. None of the children in the village could read. It would be great if he could read. But his sister still bought him books, paper and pens. She was really kind to him!

My brother-in-law is also very nice. The prey he went to sell only cost a few hundred pennies, and he spent more than half of it. Will he be unhappy?

Yang Xu saw that Tianbao had been very uneasy since he left the bookstore. Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he looked at himself, sometimes he looked at his brother-in-law. Was he worried about money?

"Is Tianbao unhappy?"

"No, I'm very happy. It's just that I spent a lot of money! Hunting is not easy for my brother-in-law, so I feel a little guilty..."

"It's okay. Being able to read and write is a good thing. My family is rich."

Wang Dayi touched Tianbao's head. He told the truth. They were all one family. He didn't feel bad at all for spending money on Yang Xu and Tianbao.

What's more, he also knows that scholars are very good, but he is illiterate, which will be very inconvenient sometimes.

He is also very happy that Xu'er can take this seriously. If Tianbao wants to study, all their children will also be allowed to study in the future.

"You heard it! My sister and brother-in-law are very supportive. Our Tianbao is smart and must be very good at reading."

Yang Xu also touched Tianbao's head and comforted him.

In fact, she felt a little guilty at first. After all, Wang Dayi's hunting was really dangerous and it was not easy to make some money. It would be great if he could take good care of Tianbao.

But I also bought books, paper and pen for Tianbao. In this era, studying is very expensive. It is even more difficult for a poor family to provide a child with education.

However, Wang Dayi was very kind. Not only did he not object, but he also expressed support. Yang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief.

He has to find a way to make money. It's always like this. He is good to himself, but his conscience is uneasy!

"Well, I will definitely work hard." Tianbao clenched his fists.

"Sister, I believe in you."

…

We took Uncle Dagen's donkey cart back home and arrived at the entrance of the village in the evening.

Yang Xu paid the fare, thanked him, and went home with Wang Dayi and Tianbao.

"Would you like to go to your cousin's house?" Wang Dayi asked.

They passed the village when they returned to the mountain, but they only passed a few houses on the edge of the village, including the old house of Yang Xu's family and Wang Hongxia's family.

"I won't go today. It's a bit late. I'll go there another day if I have a chance."

As soon as it got late, they had to go up the mountain.

Secondly, when I went to my cousin's house, I definitely had to take things. It wasn't that Yang Xu was reluctant to part with them, but these things were all Wang Dayi's money, and she really couldn't use them as favors.

In a few days! I just planned to go to town to sell some things, and I will go to my cousin's house later.

Wang Dayi nodded when he heard this and said nothing.

This time, Wang Dayi took most of the things, and Yang Xu also took some. Even Tianbao volunteered to share the things, and finally Yang Xu gave him the book, paper and pen.

A few people walked very slowly, and it took them a long time to get home slowly. Although it was a little slower, it was much better than the last time when Wang Dayi carried them on his back. Well, it would be better to exercise more.

After returning home, Tianbao couldn't wait to read his new book. Wang Dayi put the things away. Yang Xu planned to start cooking.

Yang Xu first went to taste the vinegar he bought this time. Well, it was very sour because it hadn't been in for a long time and there was almost no taste of wine.

Yang Xu was very happy, this is pretty good vinegar. Uncle Li happened to give me a lot of pork ribs, so let’s make sweet and sour pork ribs this time!

There are also potatoes. I only used a few potatoes after planting a field of poplars. There are still a few potatoes left, so just fry a shredded potato!

Wang Dayi also took care of the meat and ribs, and saved the meat for next time. The ribs probably weighed four or five kilograms. I wonder if the two of them are used to the sweet and sour taste?

Yang Xu finally decided to make half of the braised pork ribs and the other half of sweet and sour pork ribs. Plus a shredded potato. She usually eats steamed buns and porridge at night. She was tired from going out today, so Yang Xu cooked rice.

Peel and shred the potatoes, wash and cut a few wild peppers that are not red yet into shreds. Put oil in the pot, stir-fry the peppers first to make them spicy, then add shredded potatoes, add salt. Stir-fry, and finally finish.

At that time, Yang Xu also added a little vinegar.

First make the sweet and sour pork ribs, put water in the pot, pour the ribs, boil, take it out, drain the water, then add oil, melt the sugar, and add the ribs. Add vinegar, salt, and a little pepper. After the ribs are cooked,

Remove the juice from the fire.

When it was finally served, the ribs were caramel color and the soup was thick. Hmm, it looks good!

Finally, I made braised pork ribs with a lot of chili peppers added in. Anyway, the three of them in the family love spicy food.

…

Tianbao carefully looked through the book in the room. His sister bought it for enlightenment. He already knew many of the words in it. His sister had taught him before.

Tianbao was like a little idiot, smelling the smell of books, well, it should be the smell of ink.

However, soon, the aroma of food came into the room. Huh? Why is there still a sweet and sour taste?

It became more and more fragrant, and then there was a pungent aroma. Tianbao knew that it was the smell of chili peppers. Well, my sister must have made something delicious again. She added chili peppers. He likes the taste of chili peppers so much! He eats spicy food.

Vegetables, enough to eat two bowls of rice!

"It's time to eat!"

When he heard Yang Xu calling for dinner, Tianbao ran out quickly. He had been looking forward to it for a long time!

After the three of them were seated, they started to use chopsticks.

"Eh? These ribs are so beautiful, different from the ones I had before."

The color is nice and the soup looks nice too! It seems that this is where the sweet and sour taste comes from!

"Try it. This is called sweet and sour pork ribs. It's made with sugar and the vinegar I bought at the wine shop today."

Yang Xu took a piece for Wang Dayi and a piece for Tianbao. Then he took a piece for himself.

When I took a bite, the first thing I noticed was that it was sticky, sour and sweet. The pork ribs are from the pork ribs, so they are most suitable for making sweet and sour pork ribs. Sure enough, it is delicious.

Wang Dayi took a bite and thought it was pretty good. It was sour and sweet, which was very strange. But he didn't like sweet, so maybe the bowl of braised pork ribs was more suitable for him.

But he still praised it, after all, it tasted really good.

Tianbao liked it very much. He thought he might give up his favorite chili pepper, but now he is sure that he likes this one best!

It's sour and sweet. When I ate hawthorn cake before, I liked it very much. As a result, this pork rib is even more delicious!

Sister is really amazing, everything she makes tastes delicious. Well, this shredded potato is also delicious!

Yang Xu also liked chili peppers more and hadn't eaten sweet and sour pork ribs for a long time, so she ate some of both. Of course, there was also her favorite shredded potatoes.

Wang Dayi loves braised pork ribs, and Tianbao has been eating sweet and sour pork ribs.
