Chapter 121 Eating together

After spring plowing, Lin Xiaoman's family's land was planted, and weeds began to grow in the field at this time. Lin Xiaoman hired twenty Xu family members from the west of the village to help weed and look after the land. earth.

Although Xu's family has been very popular in the capital in recent years, they were all from the countryside in the early years, and they were able to do farm work.

With Lin Xiaoman taking the lead, some people in the village opened barren fields, and people who couldn’t finish their work also came to the west of the village to hire people. The entire Xu family, except for those who were in poor health and Xu Qiuliang, all the men were hired away. The strong woman was also hired away.

Xu Qiuliang taught Lin Erhu to read every day. He taught Lin Erhu with carelessness. The smarter Lin Erhu was, the more diligent he was in teaching. At first, he only taught reading and writing, and later he even taught some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It’s just that Xu Qiuliang was born in a farming family, and he only dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and he only taught Lin Erhu a little superficially. Who knows that Lin Erhu’s learning ability is super strong, and he still has some innovations from time to time, which makes him very impressed. surprise.

It's hard to say whether Lin Erhu is better at reading or other skills.

Lin Erhu was secretly happy: This is thanks to the omnipotent video platform. You can find anything you want to learn on the Internet, even if the teaching is not so deep, he can learn a lot with the textbooks he bought. up.

Seeing noon, Lin Erhu said: "Sir, I'm home for dinner, can I bring it for you?"

Just as Xu Qiuliang was about to say that he didn't need to bring it, seeing Lin Erhu's teasing and gossiping eyes, his face sank, "A few days ago your sister made good braised bean noodles, so you should bring some."

Lin Erhu's face collapsed, "Why are you still ordering food? The noodles need to be rolled out freshly, the dried beans need to be soaked in water, and the bones and meat must be boiled out in advance. My sister has already prepared the meals at this time. Where are we going?" Can I get you stewed noodles with beans?"

Xu Qiuliang shook his head and sighed, "Look, I don't even want to eat a braised bean noodle. Isn't this just a learned skill, sir, throwing it over the wall?"

Lin Erhu's face darkened even more, "That means the bride walks in and the matchmaker throws it over the wall."

"Are you the bride?"

The corners of Lin Erhu's mouth twitched when he said a word, he is a gentleman, he opened his mouth a little, no wonder Master Lu who doesn't like to talk a few words every time he sees him, he deserves it.

"Tch, I haven't brought it for you yet."

After finishing speaking, Lin Erhu got up and ran out, "I'm going home to eat braised pork!"

Xu Qiuliang swallowed his saliva, he also wanted to eat braised pork, but he thought of boxing in the yard early in the morning, seeing Lin Dajiao passing by outside the yard wall with a hoe, and whispering to him: "I will give you stewed chicken at noon .”

Xu Qiuliang hurriedly forgot the braised pork. Although Dajiao's cooking was clear and watery, he stewed chicken without festivals. He knew it was specially made for him, but this kind of heart was more delicious than the braised pork.

Xu Qiuliang moved a small stool and sat beautifully in the yard waiting for Lin Dajiao to bring him stewed chicken.

The brothers worked in other people's fields, and they provided meals at noon, and they would not come back until after dinner in the evening. He and Lin Erhu were the only ones in the yard all day long.

Suddenly, a few yards away came the sound of scolding from the eldest brother's house, Xu Qiuliang hurriedly moved the small stool to the place against the wall over there and sat down again.

They got closer, and the noise of the quarrel became louder. I heard my sister-in-law Hu was crying and cursing, "What did I do in my previous life? This life raised you such a white-eyed wolf. You have hidden so many Food, don't keep it for your own family to eat, but donate it to those poor ghosts. I don't know what the situation of Xu's family is now? It is impossible for the family to become an official in the future. What do you want to do with that good reputation? Why not keep it for yourself? Eating it will fill your stomach."

Eldest brother Xu Qiuping also said: "You damn girl, you didn't even tell your family about such a big matter, and you made up your own mind? Didn't you take your father and mother seriously? Did you still think you were The former Miss Xu Family? No matter how much you do, will the county magistrate take a look at you?"

Xu Qiuliang said "yo ho", this family also knew that their daughter was thinking about Lu Jin?Once indulged and did not stop, it was because they really wanted their daughter to be Lu Jin's concubine.

Now seeing that Ruyi's calculations were in vain, and he started to complain, he felt sorry for his niece.

However, where did she get so much food?
Although he is not familiar with this niece, in his memory, she is a fool who only knows about food and beauty. If she has the ability to save a large amount of food, she will not make herself a joke.

But during this period of contact, this niece has become very different from before. Thinking of Lu Jin intentionally or unintentionally mentioning that she fell into the water and fell seriously ill before, Xu Qiuliang raised his brows lightly: "It's weird to say nothing, but he is very concerned about it." I am very interested in ghosts, spirits and legends.

Lin Dajiao walked over with a basket containing a bowl of stewed chicken, stood outside the courtyard wall and saw Xu Qiuliang sitting against the wall, looking like he was listening to the foot of the wall, and couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, the fight was very lively. Come here, your niece got her head broken by her parents."

Xu Qiuliang was surprised, "Has the head been broken?"

Lin Dajiao nodded, "No, how can parents be so cruel? I heard them mean that the food donated by the Xu family was obtained by that girl, and they blamed the girl for not giving them food. Hey, But the girl didn't keep it for herself, did she? Give the Xu family a good reputation, and if it's done, it will be heard by the emperor in the future, and maybe the Xu family will benefit from it."

Xu Qiuliang came over and took the basket from her hand, "Look, everyone else understands the truth, but their shallow eyes just don't understand. Okay, let's not talk about them, have you eaten yet?"

Lin Dajiao smiled shyly, "Eat...eat."

Xu Qiuliang didn't believe it, so he lifted the cloth covering the basket, and saw a large bowl full of chicken, and two large steamed buns of coarse grain noodles beside it, "You lied to me when you saw it, there are only so many chickens, Where does it look like something you've eaten?"

Lin Dajiao was even more shy this time, Xu Qiuliang said in a low voice, "I've gone to work in the fields, come in and eat with me."

Lin Dajiao hesitated and was embarrassed, but Xu Qiuliang said directly: "If you don't eat, I won't eat either."

Lin Dajiao looked around and saw that there was no one there, so she half-pushed and entered the yard.

There was a simple table built of stones in the yard, and the two sat opposite each other. Xu Qiuliang went into the room and took two sets of bowls and chopsticks, as well as the two white flour steamed buns brought by Lin Erhu in the morning, and handed the white flour steamed buns to the house. In front of Lin Dajiao, "I left it for you."

Lin Dajiao was pleasantly surprised, unexpectedly Xu Qiuliang was also thinking about her, took one and pushed the other back, "You eat too."

Xu Qiuliang didn't refuse either, and the two of them ate a white flour steamed bun with the chicken brought by Lin Dajiao.

Lin Dajiao specially went to Lin Xiaoman to learn how to stew chicken the best. With good ingredients, some mushrooms and potatoes were stewed in it, and the chicken was unexpectedly delicious.

The two of you took one bite, and I took one bite. After a while, they ate up a large bowl of chicken, potato and mushroom stew with white flour steamed buns, but the two coarse-grain flour steamed buns brought by Lin Dajiao were left behind.
