Tuan Chong is five and a half years old and started his fortune from farming.

Chapter 59: Three years old looks younger and seven years old looks older

Jiang's stewed vegetables are so delicious that even if they cost five copper coins a bowl, there are still more than a dozen stable customers in Dahe Village who come to buy them.

Those who exchange things for things have to come every two or three days to give the old hens at home some time to lay eggs.

In the evening, after sending away the folks who bought braised food today, Mr. Xu closed the courtyard door in a good mood.

"Cui Niang, bring the dishes, we are ready to eat."

"Hey."

Ms. Liu was very obedient, turned around and went to the kitchen to serve the food.

Old Mrs. Xu was not idle either and shouted at the window of the east room:
  "Brother Yu, Fubao, let's have dinner~"

"Hey, here comes the milk~"

After quickly getting a response from her granddaughter, Ms. Xu slowly walked to the chicken coop, drove the old hens back to the chicken coop, closed the fence door, and happily entered the kitchen with two eggs in her hand.
  Now I don’t have to worry about food and drink, and I can even afford meat.

But old Mrs. Xu was used to being poor, and in her heart, she still felt that eggs were better.

Therefore, the eggs at home are eaten closely by the grandchildren.

Summer is about to begin next month. In previous years, vendors would enter the village to sell goods at this time.

She figured it out and kept the extra eggs aside so that she could trade them with the salesman later.

Things like needlework, hair flowers for little girls, balms and other things, they are all prepared.

Just as I was thinking about something, I heard the two puppies at home barking~
  Ok?
  My son is back. Let’s have dinner first. After dinner, my son will most likely go to the river beach to watch the night.

Or boil two eggs, bring the leftovers from home, fill a jar with hot water, bring a bed and bedding, and make do with it for the night~
  Jiang Changfa is back and has brought Li Xiaotian with him.

After Fu Bao saw the person coming, he shouted sweetly——

"Hello, Uncle Li."

"Hey, Fu Bao still remembers uncle?"

Li Xiaotian said cautiously, "Who would have the nerve to come over to someone else's meal these days?"

He is thin-skinned, and would have been too embarrassed to come if Brother Chang Fa hadn't been so kind.

"Xiao Tian is here, sit down quickly, Cui Niang, bring me a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

When Mrs. Xu saw the visitor, she looked happy.

Of the three sons of Lao Li's family, the second one is sensible, down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships. He has played well with her sons since childhood.

What a pity, when parents like that in the stall split up their families, he was the second child!
  I didn’t give you anything. It’s so heartless!

"Aunt~"

Li Xiaotian moved his mouth and shouted, lowering his eyes to hide the soreness in his nose.

When he was a child, he often came to his aunt's house for dinner.

When he grew up, it was after brother Chang Fa married his sister-in-law that he gradually reduced his interactions with her.

It's not that he doesn't want to come, it's because he's afraid of bringing gossip to brother Chang Fa and his sister-in-law.
  "Brother Chuan, call Uncle Li. When your Uncle Li makes money, I will ask your Uncle Li to buy you candied haws."

Jiang Changfa patted his good brother on the shoulder, then bent down and picked up his son, signaling his son to call someone.

When Brother Chuan heard that there was something delicious, he didn't need his father to say anything, so he quickly shouted——

"Uncle Li~"

"Okay, okay, when I finish my work and get paid, I will buy you some candied haws."

After Li Xiaotian calmed down, his mood quickly returned to normal.

He has a lively and cheerful personality, and in front of the Jiang family that he trusts, he quickly became familiar with several children.

"Hello, Uncle Li."

Song Yu also recognized the person and called him.

"Hey."

Li Xiaotian nodded. On the way here, Brother Chang Fa said that the family had found a child adopter for Xiao Fubao's niece. Now that he saw the real person, he felt that Aunt Xu’s eyes were as good as ever!

"The dishes are ready. Eat them while they are hot."

After Mrs. Xu sat down, she enthusiastically gave Li Xiaotian a pair of unused chopsticks to serve.

Her family eats the food on the table every day.

As for Xiaotian, there is no one at home who knows how to cook it, so it is difficult for him to eat it hot, let alone delicious.

"Thank you, auntie, I'll pick it up myself and you can eat it too."

Li Xiaotian felt the same enthusiasm and care from his elders as always, and was very moved.

If his mother could treat him like this, he would really do anything!
  It's a pity that his mother only loves the eldest brother and the third brother.
  oooo~
  Turn grief and anger into appetite, delicious!
  Really delicious!

So delicious!

"If it's delicious, eat more. There's still a lot of rice in the pot. I'm full."

Seeing Li Xiaotian gobbling up the food, Mrs. Xu sighed in her heart, "What a sin."

What a sensible young man, who has been delayed until now and still hasn’t gotten married!
  Ugh!
  With her foreign husband around, Mrs. Liu is very considerate to the head of the family.

He docilely took care of the children's meals throughout the whole process, helped the head of the house with the meal, and was considerate to every detail.

Jiang Changfa doesn't need his wife to serve him, but he is not used to being served like this by his wife.

But he is not stupid, his wife is giving him face in front of his brothers.

Hehe, my wife is so nice!
  Fu Bao's eating habits are becoming more and more regular, and he looks very much like Soong Yu.

Sure enough, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black.

Look at my stinky brother again
  "Ayawn~"

Eating custard makes me sneeze, and my face is covered in custard.

Ugh!
  Three years old looks younger and seven years old looks older. There is still one year left, so you must discipline your stinky brother well.

"Wow~"

Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei were eating near the dining table. When they heard the sneezing, they opened their wet dog eyes and stared at the little masters.

He continued to cook until no danger was found.

"Crack squeak~"

After the big bones were stewed in soup, there was no residue on the bones, so the bones were taken out for the two little ones to grind their teeth.

Li Xiaotian turned his head and looked around after hearing the noise, feeling a little surprised.

It turns out that the rumors in the village that Brother Chang Fa has become rich and that his food and clothing expenses have improved are true!
  He thought of Brother Chang Fa telling him on the lawn on the river beach that if he couldn't find a job in the town tomorrow, he should ask Brother Chang Fa
  Maybe, Brother Chang Fa really gave him a way out!
  Mrs. Xu thought that Xiaotian was too embarrassed to pick up vegetables and eat, so she urged:
  "Xiao Tian, ​​eat more vegetables. Although the braised food is made from pig waste, my aunt and your sister-in-law have washed it many times and it is still clean. Eat more."

"Thank you, auntie, I'll pick it up myself."

Li Xiaotian came back to his senses and smiled.

It’s been so long since I’ve had a hot meal. I really, really want to cry.

"Uncle Li, thank you for helping my dad watch the river beach. Drink more bone soup to keep fit. It's delicious."

Fubao seemed to feel the loneliness in Uncle Li. By observing the reactions of his family, he could judge that this person was not a bad person.

In addition, Dad said that he would help look after the river beach, so this must be him.

Since she is on good terms with her family, she doesn't mind showing kindness.

"Thank you, eldest niece. I'll drink it later."

After Li Xiaotian heard his eldest niece's words of concern, he thought to himself, no wonder people in the village said that although Chang Fa's daughter was young, she was very sensible and intelligent.

Indeed, if he had such a considerate daughter, he would love her as his eyes!
  He laughed at himself, how could he find a wife for a pauper like him who had nothing?

It's worth it to have a hot meal now!
