Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 67 Moving to a New Home
A month later, it has entered early winter, and the weather is gradually getting colder.

Su Ho and the others moved into their new house on such a day, and the family didn't make any arrangements for a drink, but they still called the close Pan family and Qian family over to get together, which was considered a little bit of celebration.

Leek, on the other hand, has just moved to a new house, and she is not used to it. She runs to the old house every day. Fortunately, now that Leek goes out, she will tell Mrs. Wang or Su Ho to save them from worrying.

The new house has already moved in, Mrs. Wang lives in the east room, Su Ho lives in the west room, Little Leek is still stuck to Su Ho, although Su Ho has prepared a room for Leek, but Leek has never lived in it for a day, and sleeps in Su Ho's room every day .

The new house has already been built, so it is time to make a plan for the future. When the new year opens, Leek will be three years old. In modern times, many children should be enlightened and go to kindergarten. Suho attaches great importance to the education of Leek. In her It seems that only reading and literacy can have a better future.

Su Ho intends to enlighten Leek himself, but there is a problem. In the past three years, Su Ho has never revealed that he can read and write. How to teach Leek to read and write without attracting attention is really a problem.

Things were idle in winter, so Su Ho counted for a few days. On this day, Su Ho decided to go to the town. Mrs. Wang thought that Su Ho was just bored. She went to the town for a stroll and then came back. Unexpectedly, this trip would take a long time. I went out when the sun was rising, and came back when the sun was setting, with a few books and some pastries in my hand.

Looking at the things that Su Ho brought back, Mrs. Wang felt a little puzzled. She knew that those pastries were sold to leeks, but who were those books bought for? I haven’t seen Su Ho read and write in these years. I remember the accounts on weekdays. Yes, it's just some marks that she can't understand.Naturally, Wang did not know that this symbol was an Arabic numeral known to everyone in modern society.

Su Ho decided to build plank roads in the open and hide in the warehouse, go to the town to do errands in the open, and secretly buy some books, pretending that he learned to read and write while doing errands in the town... At that time, there will be an excuse to prevaricate Wang and her husband. Everyone waits.

More than 20 days have passed in a hurry. These days, Su Ho always leaves early and returns late. Mrs. Wang and Leek are used to it. Leek has been arguing to follow Su Ho since the beginning. He knew very well that it was impossible for him to change Su Ho's mind.

The days have entered the winter without knowing it. Since the recipe of mint porridge was passed on last time, within two days, there have been many mint porridge sellers in the town, and Suhe's mint stall has stopped. , I often just stay at home, arrange things with Mrs. Wang, or just play with leeks. I seldom go to the vegetable garden of the old house, and Mrs. Wang takes care of it alone every day.

Building a new house cost all the money in the family. Although there is no debt, it is impossible to live a life of big fish and meat. To be precise, it is very difficult to live a bumper year like previous years.The family only hoped that the vegetable garden of the old house would make some income, so Mrs. Wang paid special attention to the vegetable garden of the old house.

But Su Ho was not too worried. She had told Mrs. Wang that after the new house was built, the family would start digging fish ponds. You have to think carefully about how life at home should continue.

On this day, the sun in the sky was shining warmly, and the leek cat was digging earthworms under the eaves, making his hands covered in mud. Wang looked at it and shook her head. She disapproved of children rolling on the ground, but Su Ho She doesn't mind, she thinks that children are more skinny by rolling on the ground.

Su Ho called Leek to his side, wiped off the slight sweat from Leek's forehead, took a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and sat in the yard with Leek in his arms.

Their new home in Suho was built according to the yard of the Pan family. It is a main house, a side house is added to the east, and a wooden shed is also built on the west. The same size, just surrounded by a few thick logs, with a thatched roof on it, very simple.It’s just that the wooden shed was divided into three areas by Suho. According to Suho’s plan, one area was used to feed pigs, the pigsty station was the largest, the other area was used to raise cattle, and the cattle pen occupied the smallest area. of sheep.In mountainous areas, raising pigs is the biggest source of income for rural people, so Suho doesn't intend to give up. His family is too busy, so it's okay to ask someone to help.

But Suho doesn't plan to raise more cows, one is enough for his own farming, but Suho plans to develop sheep.In Qingmu Town, besides pork, common livestock meat is seldom seen. Most of them are from the mountains. Focus on the sheep.

Although it is not easy to deal with sheep, but after crossing the Amli Mountains and entering the north of Tianhong Kingdom, which is the vast prairie, it is still possible to bring back a few sheep on the prairie.

Although a connected side house was built next to the main house for use as a kitchen, but Su Ho and his family are used to cooking in the yard, so Su Ho built a small stove in the yard for daily cooking. Cook and eat at home.

Suho has already inquired about it. In the Shangdong Village ahead, there is a big boy who runs away. He often goes back to the north to bring some fresh local products from the north in exchange for some living money. When the time comes, take him off and ask him to help him run for a while. Just a trip.

The tables and chairs in the yard were all made of bamboos that were cut down when the house was built. At that time, it was a pity to see so many thick bamboos cut down and used as firewood. Su He was reluctant, and neither was Wang.So Su Ho thought of a way to ask Carpenter Tian to make those bamboos into tables, chairs and benches, which are convenient and elegant to use by himself.

Not willing to throw away the rest, Suho piled it under the eaves of the Westinghouse, thinking about whether it could be used for another purpose.

Su Ho took the leeks to his side, sat down on the bamboo chair, looked at the bright eyeballs of the leeks, and felt very distressed in his heart.

Leek was playing happily under the eaves, but Su Ho called him up, washed his face, wiped it away, but he didn't see Su Ho talking, and Leek tilted his head, staring at Su Ho blankly.

After a while, Su Ho said: "Lik, after the new year, you will be three years old. Mother has decided to teach you to read and write from this winter onwards. Are you willing?"

Leek looked at Su Ho, nodded without even thinking about it, and responded loudly: "Leek is willing!" In his little head, he didn't understand the meaning of reading and literacy at all, but he just thought that Su Ho would not hurt Su Ho. Everything He did was for his own good, so, of course, he nodded in agreement.Of course, with his small head, he couldn't understand what kind of things he would experience when studying.

Wang Shi was sorting out the clothes worn by Soho and Chives in winter. The clothes were bought last year and they were still very new.

Hearing what Su Ho said, Mrs. Wang didn't think it was strange. These days, Su Ho always went to the town, and when she came back, she always brought books, pens and ink. Wang knew that Su Ho was going to start enlightening leeks.

It's just that I don't know that Su Ho started so early, and the year has never passed. Wang has lived for most of her life, and has never heard of such a young child who read and practiced calligraphy. It was the young master of the rich family she had stayed in before. , they all started school when they were five or six years old, and the children of capable families in the villages and towns did not start school until they were eight or nine years old.

Let alone being enlightened by relatives at home.

Mrs. Wang trusts Su Ho very much, and they have been together for nearly three years. She has never seen Su Ho do anything unsure, let alone on the issue of leeks. Since Su Ho has said that he wants to teach leeks to read, it is She is sure that she can teach leeks.

She raised her head and glanced at Su Ho, over there, Su Ho had already started to explain to the leeks.With a smile on the corner of Wang's mouth, she lowered her head and continued to work again.

"Chive, mother will teach you a song today!" Su Ho stroked Chive's hair and said.

Leek nodded obediently, and looked at Su Ho expectantly. Leek was considered to have grown up in the town. On Wang's back, he heard the town's children running and dancing and reciting songs. He will stick to his mouth and follow along.Today, Mother was going to teach him a song. He was a little excited, and said impatiently, "Did those brothers and sisters in town sing it?"

Su Ho shook his head and said with a smile: "Mother must have taught you something different!"

When Leek heard it, he was even happier. He squeezed it hard with his little hands, and the corners of his mouth were about to split behind his ears.

Su Ho sat upright, let the leeks sit opposite her, and then said: "One way to two or three miles, there are four or five houses in Yancun, six or seven trees in front of the door, and eighty or ninety flowers!" After a pause, he asked : "Does it sound good?"

Leek thought for a while, and immediately read aloud: "One to two or three miles away, there are four or five houses in Yancun, six or seven trees in front of the gate, and eight or ninety flowers!" Soho's compliment.

Seeing Leek's expectant gaze, Su Ho smiled slightly, patted Leek's head again, and boasted: "Chik is so smart! Mom will copy Leek and eggs for you tonight!"

"Yeah!" Leek cheered. Most children don't like food with a strong taste, but I don't know if it's on par with leeks. My favorite food is scrambled eggs with leeks. I heard Suho said that I would give it to him. He made scrambled eggs with leeks, and the leeks were very happy.

However, Leek still had a small question. He scratched his little head, tilted his head, looked at Su Ho, and said, "Mother..." His tone was hesitant, and he didn't dare to ask. When he was in the town before, When he saw some older brothers asking questions about his parents, he was beaten. He didn't want to be beaten by his mother.

"What's the matter?" Su Ho asked, little leeks have always been unable to hide things in their hearts, why did they hesitate to speak this time: "Leeks, don't be afraid, just tell me if you have something, mother doesn't blame you, you have to remember, mother will always listen Mother won't blame you for your explanation!"
