Pastoral little master

Chapter 106
Qiduo waited for Mrs. Zhao's words.

She smiled and said, "Grandma, we signed a contract when we separated, do you remember?"

"Bah, who doesn't remember this, what are you talking about now?" Zhao said coldly with her hands on her hips.

Qiduo shook her head, she really didn't know where Zhao's confidence came from.

Did she forget how she coveted the Lin family's dowry?

Did she forget that she was slapped in public by Mr. Tan?There are still finger marks on her face now.

It's so shameless and weird how to turn around and come to care about what I bought at home.

Qiduo said sternly, "Grandma, since you forgot the content above, I can remind you that it is very clear that after the separation, no one has the right to take care of our family's affairs.

By the way, we didn't come up with this sentence. It was Grandma, who didn't want to bear Liu Lang's medical expenses, and said it to us personally, and asked Grandpa to add this to the separation contract.

If you forget, you can ask grandpa, or I will show you the deed of division. "

Then Qiduo said to Liuju, "Second Sister, let's go home."

She pulled Liuju over, and the two straightened their waists and strode towards the Moon Gate.

Tan Dejin followed closely behind.

Having a mother like Mrs. Zhao is the greatest tragedy in life.

Mrs. Zhao was a little dazed, it seemed that she said this quickly when the family was separated, a dead girl, with sharp teeth, one day you will be full of teeth.

Back in the backyard, Qiduo looked at the moon and gritted her teeth, "This door has to be sealed quickly, next time I don't want to go home from the front yard again."

If Mrs. Zhao saw the meat and bones in the food box today, he didn't know what would happen.

And in the future, when you buy something, you have to pass it under her nose. How annoying it would be for her to break the casserole and ask the end every time.

Fortunately, the newly opened gate by the fence is about to be completed, and the moon gate can be sealed tomorrow at most.

After returning home, Qiduo handed over the 500 taels of silver note to Xu, asking her to keep it.

Then she took out the meat and bones she bought, and the bones were simmering soup, and the meat was ready to be braised pork.

She remembered that Shen Nan liked to eat braised pork very much. When she was at Shen's house, she often praised Mrs. Li's braised pork.

I am going to make some and send them to Shen Nan tomorrow.

Thinking of Shen Nan, her heart was heavy.

"Duo, what are you buying these bones for?" Xu asked, pointing at the tube bones.

"Mother, this can be used to simmer soup. After the soup is cooked, add some sliced ​​mushrooms. It will taste very delicious, very nutritious, and good for Liulang's body." Qiduo explained with a smile.

Mrs. Xu nodded slightly, "This is the first time I've heard that bones can make soup. In the past, when pigs were slaughtered at home, the bones were burned together with the pig's head meat. There was not much meat, and the bones were hard, so no one wanted to eat them. One year I remembered that your third uncle gnawed on a bone and almost gnawed his teeth, and no one ate it after that."

Qiduo pursed her lips and laughed, pointing to the bone and said, "This bone is a good thing. If you simmer the soup for a long time, you will eat all the bones."

"If this is the case, that's fine, otherwise it would be a pity to throw it away." Xu said with a smile.

"By the way, mother, how is Liu Lang doing recently?" Qi Duo asked.

"Well, since taking Wen En's public medicine, I haven't heard him coughing much recently. These days, we are drying bamboo shoots at home, and he is helping by the side, running around, and it's all right." The smile on Xu's face deepened. .

Liu Lang's health has always been her biggest concern. Now that his health is getting better and better, how can she be unhappy.

Qiduo nodded, "Well, this is the best. Let's let Liulang take care of him for a while longer. Then I will take him to ask Mr. Wen to have a look. If there is nothing serious, we will send him to school. He is not young. There is no longer any delay."
"Okay, I think so too. Farming is very hard work. I hope that Liu Lang will be able to do something in the future, so he doesn't have to be as unpromising as me and your father." Xu sighed softly and said her wish.

Of course, this is a relatively reserved wish, and what I think in the bottom of my heart is far more than that.

"Don't worry, mother, Liu Lang is very smart, as long as he is willing to work hard, he will achieve something." Qi Duo comforted with a smile.

"I hope." Xu nodded.
"Mother, do you have a letter from Matchmaker Liu?" Qi Duo asked in a low voice. If this matter is not resolved, she will feel restless every day.
Mrs. Xu shook her head, her complexion darkened, and she was even more worried.
"Mother, after the soup boils, you will skim off the layer of froth floating on it, just like simmering chicken soup." Qiduo washed the bones, put them into a casserole, added Lingquan water, and told Xu what to do next.

That layer of froth is the impurities of the bone itself. If they are not scooped out, there will be some black impurities in the soup, which will affect the taste of the soup and affect people's appetite.
"Okay, mother understands." Xu agreed.
Qiduo washed her hands, changed into clean clothes, and went to Shen's house.

Zheng Wanru is arranging the spring plowing, while Qiduo is waiting by the side.

The work in the Shen family's fields is done by hired labor every year, and the arrangement of these matters is naturally handled by Zheng Wanru, Shen Huairen never has to worry about it.

These short-term workers were not the first time the Shen family hired them. Zheng Wanru was very familiar with them, and there was not much to explain. After the price was negotiated, everyone dispersed quickly.

Qiduo sat on the stool, staring at the blooming rose in the corner of the courtyard in a daze.

"Qiduo, what are you looking at? You're so engrossed." Zheng Wanru approached Qiduo with a smile after seeing off the laborers.

"Oh, it's nothing, Auntie, you're done." Qiduo came back to her senses and hurriedly stood up.

It's just that when facing Zheng Wanru, she no longer has the calmness she used to have.

There is a feeling of where the hands and feet should not be placed.

"I'm done. I just came back from the town for a while. They're all waiting for me. The weather is getting warmer, so it's time to get busy again. By the way, Qiduo, how is the work in your field arranged? Forget it, you Go back and tell your parents, let them not bother, I asked these people to help, and your family is only labored by your father." Zheng Wanru said softly.

Qiduo's eyes turned red, and said weakly, "Auntie, I..."

I want to apologize, but I don't know where to start.

Zheng Wanru sensed that something was wrong with Qiduo, and quickly suppressed her smile, "Qiduo, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you, tell auntie quickly."

Qiduo clenched her hands tightly, gritted her silver teeth, looked up at Zheng Wanru, and said boldly, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I caused Brother Nan to suffer a lot, but I still don't know, so I come to trouble you whenever I have something to do. You, Auntie, I know it’s useless to say sorry at this time, sorry can’t make Brother Nan’s body and heart hurt, but...but I still want to say sorry. "

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head.

He didn't dare to look directly into Zheng Wanru's clear and kind eyes.

Zheng Wanru was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what Qiduo was referring to, her eyes became more gentle, she gently hugged Qiduo, and asked softly, "Qiduo, you know everything?"

"Well, I just found out." Qiduo nodded.

Seeing her nodding, Zheng Wanru was not surprised or surprised.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and she also knew that Qiduo would find out about it sooner or later.

All she can do is try to let Qiduo know as soon as possible, it is best not to know.

However, she is not sure who told Qiduo, she will have to ask later.
Zheng Wanru understood Qiduo's character, and knew that if Qiduo knew about this, she would definitely blame herself and feel sad, and might even feel shadowed because of it, which was not what she wanted to see.

"Silly boy, you're talking stupid again. My aunt told you a long time ago that you don't have to be so polite with your aunt. Besides, what happened to Nan'er has nothing to do with you. Why do you apologize? What a silly boy, don't let your mistakes go to you If you put it on yourself, you will be very tired." Zheng Wanru said softly.
"Auntie, don't comfort me. If brother Nan didn't want to help me do business and make money, he wouldn't be beaten by his uncle, and he wouldn't suffer from those flesh and blood. Not only brother Nan suffered from flesh and blood, but also you, auntie Worrying and hurting in the back, I... what a bastard." Qiduo said with red eyes, she sucked her nose desperately to keep tears from coming out.

She thinks she is not a hypocritical person, but now she really wants to cry.

I don't know if my emotions have become fragile, or because of my young body, my emotional intelligence has also become a child, and I cry easily.

Zheng Wanru took Qiduo's little hand and brought her to Dongci Room to sit down.

"Qiduo, I heard from my aunt that Nan'er's matter has nothing to do with you, otherwise I wouldn't blame you." Zheng Wanru asked Qiduo to look at her, and then said very seriously, "Qiduo, your brother Nan's studies are important. , but I don't want him to become a ruthless and cold-blooded person who doesn't know the world and don't understand the sufferings of the world. If I really only consider his studies, I should let him live in the academy early in the morning, so that he can't hear what's going on outside the window. Only read the books of sages.

But I didn’t. Nan’er has been playing with the children in the village since she was a child, going down the river to catch fish and shrimp, going up the mountain to chop firewood and pick up pine balls, climbing trees to dig out bird’s nests, and doing things like other children. You should also do these things. knew.

Now there are many parents and officials who are in their positions but do not seek their own government, making the people miserable, and scolding these officials for not knowing the sufferings of the people and not being able to be the masters of the people.The main reason is that most officials have no worries about food and clothing since they were young, they are high above the top, indifferent and ruthless in their bones, and they don't know the hardships and hardships of the people's lives.

My expectation for Nan'er is that if she can become an official in high school, she must be an official who can really do practical things for the people. Otherwise, it is better to farm and raise pigs at home and let someone who can really plead for the people become an official.

Last time Nan'er took the initiative to find a way to sell your clams, I was really happy. If Nan'er knew that you were in trouble but didn't do anything, then I should be angry at his indifference.

Nan'er has a stubborn temper. He didn't want to explain what he thought was right. Your uncle was too impulsive at the time, so he beat him by mistake.

Qiduo, Auntie knows that you are a very sensible and good boy, but she has never told you the truth, just because she is worried about your overthinking.What my aunt said is that I hope you will be the same as before in the future, don't be angry with your uncle, or alienate us, then I will be really sad, you know? "

"Auntie!" Qiduo closed her eyes, tears really slipped out.

With such a reasonable aunt, what else can she say.

Qiduo left Shen's house and met a group of people at the gate of Tan's house, the leader was Matchmaker Liu.

And behind her are four strong young men
