Chapter 14 Reunion Dinner

Because she was worried about the Li family's revenge, Shen Jia didn't dare to go into the mountains or go to the county town. She just cut some bamboo and miscellaneous trees from the nearby mountains and turned her backyard into a simple martial arts training ground.

Three days later, Shen Jia looked at the proud work in front of him with satisfaction.

"Jia'er, this martial arts training ground is very well done, and the plum blossom piles are driven quite strong." Shen Zhuoyun said with a smile.

"Dad, brother, you are here." Shen Jia shouted in surprise.

Shen Jia carefully looked at Shen Zhuoyun and Shen Hao who were recovering.

Shen Zhuoyun is wearing a cross-collar jade-colored straight t-shirt today, with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the leader's skirts with purple silk thread. He has beautiful facial features, a slender and strong figure, and healthy and fair skin. Even with a beard, his clear and handsome face still looks like a young man. , the temperament is exceptionally elegant.

Shen Hao tied his hanging hair into two knots on the top of his head into a bun, in the shape of an ancient boy, with a slender body, handsome face, and eyes like the warm snow that has not yet melted in spring, shining, crystal clear, soft and dazzling. , and with a calmness and sharpness that does not belong to this age. His lips are as bright as jade, the corners of his mouth are slightly curved, and his faint smile is like the March sunshine, comfortable and comfortable.

"Yes. Jia'er, we will start learning martial arts from you tomorrow, okay?" Shen Zhuoyun thought about it. Since Jia'er asked them to learn martial arts with her, they should learn it well. They don't need to have world-class martial arts, at least they can keep fit. If It would be even better if you can learn one and a half moves and defeat several grown men without martial arts skills.

When he was seriously ill, the Li family came to his door to cause trouble, which gave him a warning. No matter when and where he was, he had to be strong, otherwise he would be bullied.

He kept saying that he wanted to avenge his grandfather, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. But after arriving in Lingnan, he worked hard to adapt to the new life, and then worked hard to adapt to being a father.

As time went by, revenge became a scar in his heart, and it hurt from time to time. Although he was slowly planning revenge, in the end, because he didn't have the manpower, the effect was very little.

In the past, he only thought in a Buddhist way: he had a good wife, his children were smart and filial, and he had enough food to eat and clothe himself. He would live his life like this for now. When the children grew up, he would go to Beijing alone to take revenge.

This experience made him understand that if he went to Beijing alone to seek revenge, it would definitely be a devastating blow to his wife and children.

Fortunately, Jia'er came back with all her skills. He had a hunch that if he followed her, he would be able to bring his family back to Beijing.

"Okay! Even if you don't want to, I will drag you to practice martial arts. But it will have to wait until the day after tomorrow. I will go to the mountain to find some medicinal materials for medicinal baths and come back. After practicing martial arts, I will take a medicinal bath and keep you alive and healthy. .”

"That's a lot of trouble for Jia'er."

"It's not hard, as long as you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach."

"Dad, I don't plan to go to the academy to study for now. I have already understood the knowledge taught by the Master. It would be a waste of time to go there. It is better to stay at home and learn something with my sister."

Shen Zhuoyun touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then said: "It's okay not to go, but don't neglect your studies. Practice calligraphy for an hour every day, read for an hour, and write me a strategy every five days."

Shen Zhuoyun's household registration is from the capital. If Shen Hao wants to take the exam, he must return to the capital to take the exam. He is only twelve years old this year. He has been taught by Shen Zhuoyun himself since he was a child. His knowledge is already very solid. There is no problem in becoming a scholar. Let him stay with Shen Jia, and he will learn much better knowledge than staying with those old scholars.

"Okay, no problem. Sister, if you need help from me if you need anything, just tell me." Shen Hao blinked at Shen Jia, as if he only listened to his sister's words.

Shen Jia's lips couldn't help but curve up: "Okay, I won't be polite if I need your help."

Everyone deliberately avoided her completely different questions from before, but Shen Jia felt that it would be better to find a time to explain it clearly to avoid regrets in the future.

In the evening sky, the sun gradually sets, and the afterglow spreads all over. A red glow is accompanied by clouds of various shapes, layer upon layer, and it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.

Shen Jia finally had her first reunion dinner tonight after traveling to Beili Village.     Everyone has a smile on their face.

The dinner was rich, Gu made stuffed tofu, and Shen Zhuoyun killed a rooster to make boiled chicken.

Shen Jia went up the mountain to hunt a pheasant and came back to cook five-finger peach chicken soup. This was strongly requested by Shen Zhuoyun and Shen Hao. They wanted to drink it when they smelled the fragrance that day.

I also made a dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork belly. June is the season when big bamboo shoots are unearthed, so naturally this dish is indispensable.

Finally, let’s have fried wheat vegetables.

Shen Jia and others were full of this dinner.

Shen Yun touched his round belly and turned around silently to pretend that no one saw him eating.

"Ugh, I haven't felt so full since my father and elder brother got sick." Shen An said with a sigh on his face, holding out his round belly.

"The most important thing is that tonight's food is so delicious that I can overeat it accidentally. Especially the five-finger peach chicken soup, which is rich in fragrance and very delicious. I drank two bowls." Shen Hao took a look. He sighed at his slightly bulging belly.

"Well, I think it tastes good too. Jia'er, you said that there are wild vegetables with various functions everywhere in Lingnan. What are the specific ones? Let's go dig some and bring them back before the double rush." ​​Shen Zhuoyun asked.

Shen Jia took a look at the sky. It was probably around midnight, which was quite early. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go. I'll take you to see it now."

If her family is willing to learn, she is still willing to teach.

The first thing I went to was the vegetable patch in the yard. The fence of the vegetable plot had been smashed by Mrs. Du's men before. In the past two days, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Kong cut some small bamboos to surround the vegetable plot.

When Shen Jia opened the door, the first thing he saw was the creeping Dengzhancai.

"You see, crawling on the ground, with umbel-shaped inflorescences and blunt serrated edges, it is Dengzhan. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, relieving pain and stopping bleeding, diluting water and strengthening the spleen. When there is trauma, bleeding or pain, you can use Dengzhan for external application.

When you have diarrhea or stomach bloating and pain due to dampness and heat, you can take Dengzhancai, which has better effects.

Dig it back and wash it clean. It tastes great when cooked with fresh lettuce and lean pork. If you put a few pieces of pork bones after drying and make soup or porridge together, it will remove moisture and taste very good. "

Shen Jia picked up the hoe and gently turned up the dwarf vegetables in the vegetable garden. Shen Zhuoyun squatted down and shook the soil on it. Shen Hao quickly ran back to the utility room and took out a dustpan.

Mrs. Gu was not idle either. She brought a plate of water over and washed the lettuce. The two children, Shen Yun and Shen An, also squatted down to pick out the weeds inside.

Seeing this situation, Shen Jia's eyes were filled with smiles.

"This is called white cauliflower, also known as nightshade. It has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, diuresis and reducing swelling. It is tender and tender during the spring equinox, so it is best to pick it and eat it. This is Houttuynia cordata..."

Shen Jia taught seriously, and Shen Zhuoyun and the others also studied seriously.

After walking around, they came across more than ten kinds of delicious wild vegetables.
