Chapter 721 Child King

There are a few wells in the village, but they are public, and no one digs their own wells.However, there are several wells in the courtyard, and in such a hot day, it is natural to soak some melons and fruits in them.

After Fang Ziyuan left, Fang Xiaofu couldn't help thinking about a question.How much time will she still live in Fangshan Village in the future? Will she still be here next summer?
If so, do you live there for a long time, and do you want to renovate the living environment here?At least when you want to eat cake, you can make it anytime, and when you want to eat iced watermelon, right?
When she shared this idea with Fang Zizhan, who came back after pouring the water and cleaning the tub, Fang Zizhan suddenly laughed: "Young lady, you are thinking too much, unless you are not admitted as a scholar for your husband, shouldn't you be studying in the county next year? "

Fang Xiaofu glared at him, quickly said "Bah" three times to the ground, and then glared at him again.

"Our side is backed by the mountain, except that the stream from the mountain can be used. It may be difficult to dig a well. It's better to be close to the river at the head of the upper village, and the underground water source is more sufficient."

Fang Zizhan chuckled, walked over and picked up a towel to wipe her wet long hair, and continued: "It's just as convenient for us to use the well in the courtyard, but more people need to use it."

So Chenfeng and Chenming asked the second elder brother to send them to soak the watermelon after eating, and they haven't come back yet.

No one in Fangshan Village grows watermelons, but this year they can still eat watermelons. It’s not that watermelons are cheap, but that the village’s public account has money.

A few of them were distributed to each family, and the rest were placed in the courtyard, where so many people, especially the children, ate. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a piece of watermelon after dinner?

Shulang is the hope of the village, the family values ​​it, and the village also values ​​it.And because it is the little girls who make Fangshan Village rich now, the status of the little girls has also increased.

Although it has not yet reached the level of equality between men and women, things like eating and playing can still be balanced.Naturally, the same beneficiaries are those little girls who can't do much under the age of nine.

Now every day, except for those who can’t run by themselves, boys and girls who can walk and run gather in the courtyard area to play. There is no need to take care of them at home, and there is no need to look around for someone, just go there directly.

The watermelons that Fang Zhizhong hauled back from the Wang family’s fields a few days ago, in addition to giving some to relatives, can also feed the rest of the family. There is no well water, so they are soaked in end basins and placed at the back door of the kitchen, where it is cool.

However, Fang Ziyuan was used to soaking in well water, so after the meal, Chen Feng and Chen Ming were sent to the courtyard.

Not long after, the three of them came back on horseback, one of them brought a big watermelon, but there were a group of little brothers running behind, and they all came back.

Fang Xiaofu watched a group of people enter the courtyard lively, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Miss Qi'er!"

"Sister Xiaoqier, I miss you!"

Liu Zehua and Wang Xiaoju rushed over directly, their faces were sweaty, but the smiles on their faces were very bright.Fang Xiaofu was about to hug them, so Fang Zizhan cut them off.

"Why run in such a hot day, look at the sweat, hurry up and wash your hands and face." Fang Zizhan led them to the kitchen one by one, and called for others to follow.

Looking at the courtyard that suddenly became lively, Fang Xiaofu looked worriedly into Caiyun's room in the East Chamber, and saw Caiyun had lifted the curtain and walked out, with Lu Yunxuan behind him helping to prop up the curtain.

Although he didn't know whether the pregnant woman woke up by herself or was woken up, Fang Xiaofu could only sigh helplessly.Fang Zijian also came out at this time, urging everyone to wash their hands and faces and go to the main room to sit down.

Fang Xiaofu thought for a while, and simply called his eldest brother to bring out two boxes of cakes, and let the group of little brothers eat first.According to this posture, she may not be free to go to Daliu Village today. Anyway, these things are just to coax them, so let them eat now.

Hearing that there was cake to eat, everyone was very happy. The children who washed their hands and faces went to the main room. Fang Zijian hurried in and set a table for them to sit, and then went to get the cake.

Fang Xiaofu noticed that some people in this group did not know each other, although he was puzzled, he did not ask.

At this moment, Fang Ziyuan called her in the kitchen, and she hurried to the kitchen to cut the ice watermelon into small triangular pieces and arrange them on a plate for Chenfeng and Chenming to deliver.

And asked the second brother to send a large bowl to each table to put the watermelon rind, so that the children would not throw it around.After cutting a watermelon, the empty plate returned to the desk.

She speeded up and continued cutting, and when the two watermelons were finished, she saw Lu Yunxuan walking over to pick up two from the basin at the back door: "Sister-in-law, although this one is not as good as well water ice, it's still good to eat."

Fang Xiaofu stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was true that the skin of the melon was still cold, but it was not as good as well water.

"I'll take this plate away. Caiyun can't eat food that has been soaked in well water." Lu Yunxuan said as he took the plate away, and when he returned to the room, he saw Fang Caiyun eating cake, and couldn't help but smile.

The main room was too lively, afraid that the children would accidentally bump into the pregnant woman, so they ate in their own room, but they were also very leisurely.

Not long after, Fang Ziwei and Lu Yunyi came over, followed by Xiao Liu and Xiao Yang.They came back with four watermelons soaked in well water.

Fang Xiaofu felt that his hands were tired from cutting. Fang Ziyuan came in and saw the melon skin, and immediately came over to pick up the knife to help him cut it. He was still proficient in his hands after watching too much.

Fang Xiaofu took the bowl and poured the melon rind into the pig food barrel in the backyard, keeping it for feeding the pigs.It is best to feed pigs with watermelon rind.

In the main room, a large group of children sat around the table, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very lively.Some just stand at the table without a seat, and just reach out to grab what they want to eat.

After Fang Xiaofu finished his work, he came in to say hello to everyone, only then did he realize that those he didn't know just now were all little cousins ​​of Ji's family.

After the little cousins ​​knew that she was Cousin Zhan's daughter-in-law, they quickly got up and saluted her as a scholar, calling "Sister-in-law Zhan", and behaved very politely.

Fang Xiaofu asked their names one by one, but they didn't have any red envelopes on hand, so they just asked them to take whatever they wanted.

Afterwards, Liu Zehua and Wang Xiaoju stuck to Fang Xiaofu and did not let go.

Ji's family also has a two-year-old little cousin, and two little cousins, one is four years old and the other is five years old. They haven't gotten to know each other well yet. They eat next to their brothers while tilting their heads and looking at Fang Xiaofu curiously.

Fang Xiaofu noticed it, and gave them a friendly smile, and called Liu Zehua, Wang Xiaoju, and Wang Xiaomei to go and play with them, and after a while they got to know each other, everyone started talking and called her cousin.

But with the emphasis of Liu Zehua and the others, everyone soon called Sister Xiaoqier.Looking at such well-behaved children, Fang Xiaofu instantly felt like she had become the king of children.

It seems that she is more popular among children than among adults.
