Farmer's happy event

Chapter 52 Hu Zi's Ambition

After eating the dumplings, the Erfang family went back after washing the dishes.

Lianzi was already so sleepy that she was yawning all the time, and was held by Yang's hand as she walked, almost falling asleep on the way.

After finally getting home, Lianzi didn't even bother to wash her face, she fell on the bed and never wanted to get up again.It took a lot of effort for Gu Zi to take off her clothes and let her sleep well.

Lianzi felt that she had just fallen asleep, and was called out by Yang Shi.

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve, you can't sleep in late." Mrs. Yang patted her and said.

Lianzi hadn't slept enough, pulled the quilt over her head, and unconsciously muttered, "I'm sleepy."

"Bah, bah, you can't say unlucky words." Yang patted her again and told her to get up quickly.

Lianzi also knew that she couldn't get up late on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so she lay on the bed for a while before getting up and putting on her clothes.

The sisters had already woken up, Lianzi slowly put on her clothes, combed her hair, and went to the kitchen to wash her face.

Seeing that she was up, Mrs. Yang scooped hot water from the cauldron and mixed it with her, telling her to wash up quickly.

"The dumplings are almost ready," Yang said.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is also to eat dumplings. Yang woke up before dawn, made two curtains of dumplings, and has been busy until now.

After eating the dumplings, Liu Jingren and Yang Shi took their children to the elders' home to pay New Year's greetings.

First went to Father Liu's side, kowtowed to Father Liu and Mrs. Yang, and said "Happy Chinese New Year". This year, Mrs. Shen actually gave every child five Wen for the first time this year, even wheat was no exception.Although very little was given, it was indeed the first time.

After leaving the house, Mrs. Yang and Liu Jingren took their children to the homes of Father Liu's uncles and brothers, and kowtowed one by one to pay New Year's greetings. The children got a lot of peanuts and sunflower seeds, and some even gave them sugar.

After paying New Year's greetings to relatives in the family, Liu Jingren met a few familiar men in the village, and talked with them in the sun, while Yang took the children and went to Zhao's house.

Say "Happy Chinese New Year" when you enter the door. Seeing them coming, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly let them in.

"It's still cold in the house, so it's better to bask in the sun to keep warm, we girls should just sit under the sun." Zhao Shi said.

Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I also want to bask in the sun, to be warm."

Mrs. Zhao took out some low stools from the house and gave one to each of Mrs. Yang and the children.

"Old lady, where's Hu Zi?" Li Zi asked, she searched around, but didn't see Hu Zi's shadow, if she was at home, she might have jumped out when she heard them coming.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "It's a tiger's son, it should be called Grandpa."

Lizi grinned, little grandpa, how can he look like a little grandpa?He himself is called Sister Lianzi.

Mrs. Zhao also said with a smile: "He is a family of children who can't bear to be called Hu Zi. In terms of age, Hu Zi is just a month older than your chestnut. He can scream and scream."

After speaking, he looked at Li Zi and said, "It's in the hut, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry to come out now."

When Lizi heard the words, he turned his head and looked back, and sure enough, he saw Huzi coming from the hut.

"I wanted to go out to play early in the morning. I told him that you will come over later, so I took it easy." After that, he pointed at Huzi and said angrily: "This kid, he doesn't care at all. It's reassuring, and it can't compare to your daughter."

Yang said with a smile: "Where is it? Boys are as good as boys, and girls are as good as girls. They are all the same."

Zhou Tongli was not at home, his family was an outsider, leaving only this line, and there is no family in the village, so it should not be out to pay New Year's greetings, but to go out to talk to someone.

"I like Hu Zi very much when I see it, and now that I am in school, I have a good look." Yang said again.

Huzi and Lizi are the same age, and they are nine years old this year.He is wearing a new purple-red dress today, and he is also a little longer than before, plus he is so gentle at this time, he looks really likable.

"Ouch", Mrs. Zhao patted Mrs. Yang lightly, and said, "Don't talk about it, the family is arguing all day and doesn't want to go to school."

Yang looked at Huzi and said, "What's the matter? Why don't you want to go to school? My Lizi wants to go but can't."

"That's right, let Li Zi go up for me." Hu Zi clapped his hands and said with a smile, the gentle energy just now disappeared in an instant.

"Hey", Mrs. Zhao said helplessly, "This child, what are you talking about in your dreams?"

Mrs. Yang chuckled, looked at Huzi again and said, "I saw that Lizi learned characters well from you. You must be better at learning. As long as you work harder, you will definitely be able to get a good reputation in the future. Take your father with you." Mother enjoy the blessing."

Mrs. Zhao loves to hear these words, which is what she wants to hear the most, but she still said modestly: "How can we have that kind of luck, we don't ask him to be an official butcher, as long as we don't even know how to write our own name."

"Who can write the name, it's too simple." Huzi said disdainfully.

One sentence made both Yang and Zhao laugh.

Lizi looked at him with contempt: "That's all!"

"I'm talking about grandma," said Yang, approaching Zhao, "I've heard that the son of Suzhi County will take the children's test next year. I have been studying for more than two years, shall we take the exam?"

"Ah? Really?" Zhao asked, and then said, "Take the test, we will take the test too."

Huzi naturally overheard their conversation and said, "I don't take the exam!"

Su Keyan can definitely pass the exam, how did he learn it, and how did he learn it, it would be no wonder he could pass the exam.

Mrs. Zhao became a little angry when she heard this, and said, "Why do you go to school if you don't take the exam? If you don't take the children's exam, you can't take the imperial examination. rice."

"That's right, if you don't take the test, I won't learn calligraphy from you." Li Zi followed suit.

Seeing Huzi pouted, Lianzi knew that he really didn't like studying.In fact, to be honest, Lianzi really felt that he was not that material, but she couldn't hit him.

"If you don't take the exam, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Lianzi asked.

This question was finally what Hu Zi wanted to answer. He shook his head and said, "I want to be the shopkeeper, and I want to make a lot of money."

"Ah?" Lianzi laughed, "How do you make money? It's not so easy to make money."

It's so naive, it doesn't hurt my back when I stand and talk.

Unexpectedly, Huzi said: "I see that it is not easy for you to make money."

"Oh my god," Lianzi exclaimed wildly in her heart, "Where do you see that I can make money easily?"

Besides, she dragged the whole family from morning to night, worked hard all day long, and only earned a hundred and ten taels of silver a year, so what kind of money was she earning?

"You want to be a shopkeeper. The money a shopkeeper can earn, I can't compare to ten of them." Lianzi rolled her eyes straight away, think about it carefully, big brother.

Huzi smiled and said, "That's good, I'm going to be the shopkeeper."

"Hey, shopkeeper," Lianzi teased, "What do you want to sell?"

Huzi shook his head and thought for a while, then said, "Who knows, I'll talk about it later."

Lianzi laughed, and wanted to be the shopkeeper, but seeing Huzi's cleverness, maybe he can do it well.On the contrary, I thought of getting together with Lizi, and I wanted to be the shopkeeper.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was no work on needlework, so Mrs. Yang just sat and chatted with Mrs. Zhao, while Guzi and Douzi listened, interjecting a few words from time to time.

Lizi only sat for a while, then lost interest, pushed Huzi and said, "Why don't we go learn characters again."

Huzi was also about to slip away, so he said, "Let's go", he got up and went into the main room, and Lizi followed.

As soon as Huzi entered the door, he suddenly turned to look at Lianzi and said, "You are also together, not more than you."

Lianzi wanted to laugh very much, and thought: "Not one more, I can recognize more characters than you."

But of course she couldn't say that, she agreed with "Come" and entered the main room.

What Huzi taught Lizi was some of the enlightenment books he had first learned. As for the more difficult ones, he probably didn't know them himself.

Lizi didn't like Huzi at first, but after learning how to read characters with him, she gradually didn't hate him so much.

It's useless even if you hate it, no one is willing to teach her to read and write except him.Lianzi is a villain, she knows so much, but she doesn't teach her.As for Su Keyan, there is no need to even think about it. She may not be able to see him a few times a month, so what words do she still have to learn?I really don't understand how Lianzi learned so much.

Lianzi pretended to be together with Lizi and followed Huzi to learn how to read.Don't look at Huzi's usual sloppy appearance, but he has a decent appearance when teaching, just like a schoolboy.

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Zhao sat until almost noon, when Mrs. Yang called Lizi and Lianzi to go home.

After returning, Yang made noodles again, and several children helped make dumplings together.

I have to eat dumplings for three days during the Chinese New Year, which is almost the same as in the previous life, but the lotus seeds can only be eaten for the first day at most, and the next two days will become more and more greasy. After finally waiting for the third day of junior high school, it is considered that the appetite has been liberated.

After lunch, Liu Jingren went out again. The mothers really had nothing to do at home, so at Lianzi's suggestion, they went to the field.

The third-level land is a bit far from home, but it is just right to take a walk after dinner to kill the extra time.

This year's weather is favorable, and the winter wheat in the field is growing well. As long as there are no accidents, there will be a bumper harvest in summer.

Even on that acre of abandoned land, patches of gray-green shepherd's purse grew on the surface.

The shepherd's purse that grows in the wheat field tastes the most delicious. Lianzi thought to wait a few days later, come over with a basket to pick some up, and go back home, whether it is to make soup or scrambled eggs, it will be very good.

This piece of land is all third-level land, and the land is not very good, but if you want to buy it, no one is willing to sell it.In the countryside, land is passed down from generation to generation, and no one would sell the land unless they were desperate.

Lianzi looked around here, and saw that there was still no suitable place, either because there were too many rocks, or the soil was too sticky and lacked oxygen, which was very unsuitable for farming. Even if it was rectified, it would take a lot of effort.

It seems that the matter of buying land can only be discussed in the long run.Besides, her family can't afford that much money right now, so they can only wait and see.

The five mother and daughter returned home talking and laughing. After returning, the sun was still high, and it was still a while before dinner time.

Yang soaked bran and fed it to the chickens, and chopped some cabbage leaves to feed the rabbits.

Speaking of the three little rabbits that Lianzi picked up from the mountain last time, their fate was very serious.Mrs. Yang was worried that she would not be able to feed them alive, but who would have thought that these three rabbits were not at all cautious, they could eat whatever they wanted, and within a month or so, they grew from the size of a palm to the size of a kitten.

These three rabbits are all female rabbits. When spring comes, they will go to the male rabbits to mate, and they will be able to give birth to many rabbit cubs.

Lianzi had nothing to do for a while, and suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, he had promised shopkeeper Dong that he would spend more time on reopening his restaurant, so he didn't waste any more time, went to his bedside in Westinghouse, got a pen and paper, and wrote and drew.
