Chapter 56
The wicker swayed gently with the breeze, and the light passed through the young leaves, coating them with a layer of golden light.

The small pond outside the yard has sparkling waves, and small fish circle in the water from time to time.

Villagers passing by with hoes always look at the house not far away and admire it.

"Who are you?" Wenbo held the wooden horse foal in his hand and looked at the people outside the house who were hesitant to come in.

"I'm here to find Uncle Wang."

The person who spoke was a young man, well-mannered, dressed in a light blue gown, and his hair was neatly tied.

"It's Ruan Qin, hurry up and sit at home. Last time I went to your house, your mother said she wasn't there."

Father Wang welcomed people into the house and pulled out a stool for them to sit on.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang. My mother said that you want to hire a wife who can teach your children how to read."

"Yes, look at my boys, they should be able to pronounce two words. We have built a house. If you don't mind it, I want you to come and teach the boys in the future. You will be given three taels of silver per month, and lunch will be at our house. Eat, what do you think?"

The man was startled, three taels of silver!

"Uncle Wang, I am a young boy with little talent and little knowledge. I can only teach my children to read a few words. This is not worthy of my position. You really praise me."

"Hey, scholars speak politely. You can decide whether to do something or not to do something worthy of it. We farmers are all straight-headed people."

"Do it!" He felt that he would be sorry for the money if he hesitated for a while, and he thought that Uncle Wang was going to test him on his knowledge.

"You are the wife invited by grandpa?" Wen Bo looked at the young elder brother in front of him. The brothers said that the teachers are all old men.

Several boys came forward and asked about the new master.

"Master, what's your last name?" Wen Qing asked curiously.

"Your master's surname is Meng." Father Wang touched his grandson's head.

Wen Qing let out a cry of surprise, why did he have the same surname as that old man, also called Master Meng.

An Ran pushed her little chair, this is their wife, she looks so young, full of bookishness.

This master seldom works at first glance, whether his limbs are not working hard, and he doesn't know the grain.

And he was so cramped, his hands were always on the bench, his fingers clasped tightly.

However, his hands are very beautiful. With such hands, it is obvious that they are not destined to do rough work. With a broad and tall forehead, a straight nose, and eyes like red phoenixes, he will definitely be rich and noble.

But it happens that she is a bit picky, and her relationship with the main palace is shallow.

Meng Ruanqin found a little doll staring at him, reaching out to touch his head. This little doll is very cute, like a dumpling.

An Ran felt that the other party's hand was gentle, the fingers were slender and well-proportioned, and the knuckles were clear.

After the two parties reached an agreement, they agreed to start teaching three days later.

That means the boys only have three days to go wild.

"Dad~"

Soft shouts rang out one after another outside the yard, and the sound was very clear.

"Why are you here?" Dashan was building a wall, holding a brick in one hand, looking at his daughter under the peach tree.

"Dashan, this is your girl."

Mazi looked at the little girl below. He and Dashan are neighbors, and this daughter is the eldest daughter, named Xiaoqin.

Liu Chunlan saw the girl under the tree, standing timidly under their peach tree, with a hint of panic in her dark eyes.

"Girl, come in." Liu Chunlan greeted the girl.

An Ran saw that the girl brought in was about the same size as Li Aling, and she was wearing patched clothes, it could be seen that the clothes no longer fit her body.

But this girl has beautiful eyes, and the ends of her eyes are very clean. It is these eyes that add great aura to the whole face.

"Father, my sister was bitten by a dog. It's my aunt's dog. She asked my sister to carry firewood for her today, but her dog was not tied."

An Ran listened to the little girl's anxious words. It was obvious that she was very anxious. She was bitten by a dog and what to do if she didn't have rabies vaccine.

"Da Shan, you go back and take care of the child first, while we work here first."

The Wang family looked anxious, because they were bitten by a dog.

Mazi complained while doing the work at hand, telling everyone about Dashan's family affairs.

Dashan has a younger brother who was drafted and sent to fight in the last war. Now he is the only one raising four daughters in the family.

Speaking of this brother, he has a miserable life. His mother-in-law was found hanging out with others, and she ran away with others.

The woman who ran away despised the Dashan family for being too poor and gave birth to a deaf and mute daughter. She was laughed at wherever she went.

The aunt Xiaoqin mentioned just now is a person who is used to ordering people to work.

Every time Dashan goes out to work, she will ask Dashan's daughter to help her, let people do this and that, and reward them with unnecessary things if they are happy.

An Ran listened to Uncle Mazi's words, it seemed that Uncle Dashan's family had a heavy burden.

Several people worked hard and half of the main house was repaired. They also had to lay the foundation and build a few more rooms.

"Look, Fu Bao, grandpa said, this is the room where you and sister A Ling live."

Although she is still young, she will sleep alone in a few years, but now she has reserved her room.

"Fu Bao, come and try the cakes made by mother."

Li Zhenxiang held a piece of hot cake in both hands, blew it to cool down and stuffed it into her hand.

There are chopped green onions on both sides of the golden pancake, which is soft and nice.

The basket is filled with baked pancakes. There is no cooking today. Pancakes are the staple food and I am still hungry.

Since the previous house was demolished, their dining table became an open-air dining table, filled with pancakes, as well as dumpling vegetables and cold folded ears.

The most eye-catching thing is the Chunxiang scrambled eggs, which are very fragrant.

What the men look forward to most is the Wang family's lunch, which is not stingy and treats them with good things.

Although men know that the food is good, they will not act like they are reincarnations of starving ghosts, but it is really delicious and they can't help but use two more chopsticks.

An Ran looked at the cold folded ear root, this is delicious!
"You can't eat this yet, take one."

An Ran pointed at the cold salad with her chubby finger, she really wanted to eat this.

It's a pity that her mother only gave her one to taste. It had a familiar taste and was so fragrant.

Ouch, the teeth are not all straight, so it’s really hard to bite.

Different from the specially cultivated ones, the wild folded ear root is very small, has many roots, and is not so crisp and tender. Fortunately, the wild fragrance is very strong.

"Fu Bao seems to like eating Houttuynia cordata very much, just like the rabbits at home eating grass."

"I'll get another one for my sister."

"Don't pick up so much, my sister is still young, so I can't eat too much of this."

Li Zhenxiang took a short one and put it in her daughter's bowl. She couldn't eat it. It tasted like dead fish. Why did Fu Bao like to eat it so much?

In spring, when all things grow, wild orchid root is the first choice of wild vegetables for most families. Those who like to eat it will be happy, but those who don't will not see it growing all over the mountains and fields.

"Dashan's food is reserved for him. I came here to help before dawn today. I guess I still have nothing in my stomach." Liu Chunlan left a few pancakes and a bowl of vegetables in the pot.

When everyone was full, Dashan hurried over, panting and hunched over.

"Uncle Wang, can you pay me your salary for the past few days first? The doctor will only treat me if I need money. I don't have any money now."

The man lowered his head and clasped his hands uneasily, looking very tight.

"How about girl, I'll get you wages right now."

Dashan's face was tense, and the animal bit off a piece of meat from his little daughter's leg. The doctor said that he might have mad dog disease.
