Chapter 284
Chen Qingzhou was actually not tired. He stayed at the inn last night and had breakfast in the morning. The carriage was not bumpy, and he had a good night's sleep before arriving at the village.

But seeing his nanny's worried look, he still responded with a smile, "Hey, I'll listen to my nanny."

Mother Chen watched Chen Qingzhou pick up the chopsticks to eat, and a smile bloomed on her face.

The Chen family didn't have a rule of not talking when sleeping or eating, and Chen Qingzhou was still thinking about Wang Taoqing after not coming back for so long.

And when he just entered the house, he just told Father Chen about his situation in Yaozhou Mansion, and he still had time to ask about the situation at home.

So he ate some, and asked: "Grandma, how is the house when I'm not at home? Did my mother give birth?"

Chen's mother smiled and said: "The family is fine, your mother started it on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and gave birth to a younger brother for you, who hasn't been named yet.

Your mother said that you are now studying and have knowledge, and you will name your brother when you come back. "

After she finished speaking, she slowed down and asked again: "My dear grandson, didn't you say you would come back after the fifteenth day? Why are you here now?"

Chen Qingzhou hadn't said anything about his going to Beijing in a few days, he took a mouthful of rice, chewed and swallowed it, took another sip of soup, and said:

"Grandma, grandma, Jinnian and I got the places in Minglu Academy. The master told us to go to the capital at the end of the month, so that we can enter the academy to study at the end of next month."

"What, leave at the end of the month?"

Both Chen's father and Chen's mother were stunned. They are both fifteen today. It will not be a few days before the eldest grandson will go abroad again...

They naturally know that it is a good thing to study in an academy in the capital, but they are really reluctant!
If I go here, I will have to wait for the Chinese New Year when I come back. There are still three months left.

Mother Chen's eyes turned red.

Father Chen also had a sore nose.

Seeing this, Chen Qingzhou quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and patiently coaxed Chen's father and mother: "Master, grandma, my grandson knows that you are reluctant, but this is a rare opportunity, and my grandson does not want to miss this opportunity.

Besides, it's not that grandson won't come back, you should eat and drink well at home, take good care of your body, and wait for grandson to succeed in his studies and obtain fame in the exam, then I will take you all to the capital to enjoy the blessings! "

Mother Chen turned sideways, wiped away her tears, then looked at Chen Qingzhou with a smile, and patted his forehead lightly.

"What you said, grandma can't let you go."

Chen Qingzhou smiled at Mother Chen, a little embarrassed, "Grandma..."

"Okay, you have to finish your meal, and then go to rest."

Mother Chen rubbed the top of his head again, her brows and eyes were full of love.

"Grandma knows that our Qingzhou is ambitious, grandma is waiting, waiting for you to take grandma to the capital to enjoy the blessing."

Not to be outdone, Chen's father coughed lightly, and after attracting the attention of the two, he said, "That's right, you can go boldly, study hard, study hard.

When I come back, I will teach my master what I have learned, and when the time comes, my master will also go there... the end... yes, the end, maybe I can get a name in the exam! "

Chen Qingzhou snorted and laughed.

Chen's mother also smiled and gave Chen's father a look, and said, "It's a lot of age, so I have the nerve to say that."

"What you said, Qing Zhou is my grandson, and my grandson is smart, so I'm not allowed to be smart as a grandfather.

What's wrong with a lot of age, I still have to give it a try, and when the time comes, I will pass the exam and let you know how good I am! "

Chen's father stiffened his neck and spoke plausibly, while Chen's mother rolled her eyes, obviously not taking it seriously.

When Chen's father saw Chen's mother's disapproving look, he felt suffocated.

After Chen Qingzhou left, if he had nothing to do, he would read the book left by Chen Qingzhou. If he came across a word he didn't know, he would write it down first. child.

And when Chen Qingzhou came back, he even asked Chen Qingzhou to teach him when he had time. After studying hard for seven or eight years, he really mustered up the courage to end up and passed the test of Tongsheng, but he stopped at Tongsheng.

Of course, this is a story.

Now Chen Qingzhou watched the two old men bicker and quarrel while eating, and felt warm in his heart.

Take care of your home.

Su Mo and the others got off the carriage, and of course nothing was left behind.

After they left for so many days, the chickens and ducks were raised in the shed outside. Chen Cihai would come over every day to feed and water the chickens and ducks, and the vegetable patch was not neglected.

The yard was locked, and Chen Cihai couldn't get in, so there was a lot of dust in the yard, and it was autumn, sometimes the wind was strong, and many fallen leaves from the mountains were swept into the yard.

Su Mo took out the key, unlocked the lock, pushed the door open, and saw the yard covered with withered and yellow leaves.

Su Mo made a decisive decision, put the things on the table in the living room, and then began to arrange work for everyone.

There was always mountain spring water flowing from the cistern outside. Su Mo and Gu Qinhan went into the kitchen and fetched water from the outside with a wooden bucket. They would use it to wet the veil and wipe the bedroom later.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian swept the yard with a broom, and Gu Xingnian also distributed a quick handkerchief to her to wipe the chairs and tables in the living room.

The whole family got busy, and after more than an hour, it was finally cleaned up.

Gu Xingnian was lying on the sofa tiredly, rubbing her stomach with her small hands, and looking at Su Mo eagerly.

"Mom, I'm hungry~"

"Mother, go cook the noodles."

Su Mo rubbed her head, turned and walked out.

There were no vegetables in the kitchen, so Su Mo went to the vegetable patch and picked a handful of green vegetables, washed them in the kitchen and put them aside for later use, and then took out five eggs hidden in the tank.

Hot water had already been boiled in the pot, and the dishes and chopsticks were soaked in it. Su Mo took a large bowl and put wheat flour and water in it. Then Gu Qinhan came in and took over the job of kneading the dough.

Su Mo was on the sidelines, taking out the bowls and chopsticks that were running hot water in the pot, and then scalding the knife and chopping board with hot water.

Gu Qinhan had great strength, and it was very easy for him to knead the face. When Su Mo finished his work, he also kneaded the face.

"Let me roll the noodles." Su Mo glanced, and said, "Help me boil another pot of water for cooking the noodles."

Gu Qinhan nodded in response, moved out of the way, washed the pot first, then poured water, covered the pot, and walked to the other side to light the fire.

Today is Gu Jinnian's birthday, so naturally he wants to cook longevity noodles.

Su Mo rolled out the noodles, put condiments in the prepared bowl, and scooped a spoonful of boiling water, and the noodle soup was ready.

At this time, put the noodles into the pot to cook, boil the green vegetables, put them in a bowl, wash the other pot, fry the eggs, and cook the noodles.

"Go ask the children to eat noodles."

Su Mo said to Gu Qinhan, the action of scooping up noodles didn't stop.

"Ah."

Gu Qinhan stood up, patted the dust off his body, after a while Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian walked in, face to face.

After lunch, Su Mo was not idle, went to catch a chicken and a duck, and started a pot to boil water.

Then I went to the storeroom to look through it. There were still some potatoes left in the storeroom. She picked out the ones that didn't germinate, so she could cook another dish later.

Braised duck, chicken stew, hot and sour potato shreds, scrambled eggs with chili, steamed dried fish, and boiled vegetables.

Five dishes and one soup are enough for five people in the family.

Of course, Su Mo didn't forget the cake either.

After dinner at night, the table was cleared, the cake was brought out, and the whole family gathered together to celebrate Gu Jinnian's birthday.
