Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 53 Transformation

The two people in the room were startled. Seeing that it was Du Xiaoyu, Du Huanghua quickly wiped her eyes and said, "Are you back? Why have you been here for so long?"

"I've been away for so long and didn't come to look for it?" Du Xiaoyu became angry when she saw her stupidity, and was moved to tears because of their brother and sister's love when Bai Lianhua said that?What a stupid sister!She sat between the two of them, "Aren't you afraid that I will be eaten by wild beasts in the mountains? Maybe there are some wolves, tigers and leopards." She said while staring at the white lotus.

Bai Lianhua exclaimed, "Are there really these?"

"Why not? These beasts are inexhaustible, and they are designed to harm people!"

Seeing her angry face, Du Huanghua didn't understand why, so she just smiled and said, "You girl can think wildly, if you really want to, how can mother let you go out?"

It's useless to say it, Du Xiaoyu said, "Sister Lianhua, are you still going back? It's going to be dark today."

"Just about to leave." Bai Lianhua stood up, "Sister Huanghua, come to my house tomorrow and teach me how to embroider. Mother said that I have made great progress."

Before Du Huanghua could reply, Du Xiaoyu said, "If you want to learn, you can do it by yourself. How can you let others come to teach you? There is no sincerity!"

Bai Lianhua choked on what she said, and finally reacted a little differently, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm talking to Sister Huanghua, you are not Sister Huanghua, you have to interrupt everything? This is a Acting like a sister?"

"What's wrong? My sister doesn't care and you want me to?" Du Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes.

Du Huanghua hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, stop talking," and explained with a smile, "She is like this, don't worry about Lianhua, I will come in a few days."

Only then did Bai Lianhua leave happily.

Du Xiaoyu said angrily, "Why did you agree?"

"Why can't you agree? Isn't it just to teach embroidery? She has no malicious intentions." Du Huanghua frowned, and was a little angry, "Besides, her uncle is guaranteeing her second brother, and she will go to the examination institute next month Now, what are you making trouble at this juncture? If you really want to cause trouble, mother will not forgive you, think about it yourself!"

Kindly treating her like a donkey's liver and lungs, Du Xiaoyu was so angry that she got off the kang and went out.

She doesn't want to meddle in Du Huanghua's business any more, can't she tell the reality apart when she's such an adult?Maybe it's just me worrying about myself.

After two days, the cold melon seeds finally reacted and stretched out two small tender green leaves. Du Xiaoyu was so excited to report to the crowd, and the whole family came over to watch.

"Hey, it finally grows." Du Xian also heaved a sigh of relief.

Du Xiaoyu asked, "Is it possible to move it to the field immediately?"

"It will take some time." Du Xian explained, "The two petals are not real leaves, but the buds of cold melon seeds. If you want to plant them, wait until new leaves grow."

After gaining more knowledge, Du Xiaoyu turned up the agricultural book when he returned to his room. If he did the math, he would have to go to Du Wenyuan to Fucheng to transplant cold melon seedlings in a short time. Huang Hua and Zhao Shi are watching?I always feel a little uneasy, she was very troubled thinking about it.

Zhang Zhuoyu came to visit a few days later, and Du Huanghua said that she was willing to learn, but after March, Zhang Zhuoyu also brought a message, saying that Mrs. Wan wanted to learn at any time, there is this sentence In other words, the whole family is relieved. It seems that Mrs. Wan really appreciates Du Huanghua, and she will definitely be able to learn real kung fu in the future.

The four little rabbits are growing up day by day, and the bamboo baskets can no longer hold them, so Du Xiaoyu had to ask Du Xian to make her a wooden cage to keep them in. The iron cages cost a lot, so they won't be needed for the time being, and their teeth are not that sharp. , and there are a lot of wood at home. If you want it, you can go to the mountain to chop it. Usually, Du Xian goes to chop some back when he has nothing to do. There are piles everywhere in the backyard.

"Is it okay to be so big?" Du Xian asked.

Du Xiaoyu gestured, "Almost, father, be careful, don't nail your hands."

"Did you underestimate your father?" Du Xian snorted, "Didn't I make all those stools at home?"

"Oh, it turns out that Dad can also be a carpenter! I bought those stools as if they were amazing!" Du Xiaoyu hurriedly praised him.

Du Xian laughed when he heard that, this girl has a sweet mouth.

When the wooden cage was finished, Du Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Father, let's change that hut too, shall we?"

"The hut? How can it be changed?" Du Xian disagreed, "It's not very good!"

"Where is it? It stinks to death in summer, and you won't be tired from squatting?" Du Xiaoyu thought to himself, if someone is constipated, his legs will be numb from squatting?Besides, squatting for a long time is not good for the body, especially for the older ones. Anyway, it has to be changed, and she needs to sit on the toilet anyway!She thought for a while and said, "Why don't we get two? You can either squat or sit, and use whichever you like."

"Why don't you think it's troublesome, kid?" Du Xian groaned, "It's been used for so long, what's wrong?"

"It's not good." Du Xiaoyu said, "Father, why don't you just make a stool? Didn't you just boast about your craftsmanship? Oh, could it be a lie? Otherwise, why would you refuse?"

"Father, you can just get one." Mrs. Zhao said in unison, "I see the one at Brother Pang's is pretty good, and it won't tire you when you sit."

It turned out to be a good meal, no wonder, Du Xiaoyu smiled secretly.

Du Xian couldn't help it, the lady would always follow through.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Du Xiaoyu hurriedly expressed the plan he had thought up long ago. The first thing is to cover the dung and water. Every time he sees it, he feels uncomfortable. As for picking up the dung, put a movable plank on it. Just take it out, and of course her toilet, the toilet must be comfortable, so I have to make a grand chair with a hole in it, and a shelf next to it, to put toilet paper and so on.

Du Xian was sweating after hearing this, it really is a big project!

"You really know how to torment dad." Du Wenyuan came out to breathe and heard it, and couldn't help teasing a few words.

Du Xiaoyu grabbed him, "Since you love Dad, you can help me too. Anyway, it's good to stretch your body after reading too much."

Du Huanghua couldn't help but burst out laughing beside her.

In front of Du Xian, Du Wenyuan couldn't shirk, so he had to follow him to the hut to lay wood.

This modification took three full days to complete, but it was really comfortable to use, so the father and son who had been complaining all the time finally shut up.

Soon it was February, and the weather was really warming up. The family was also making preparations for Du Wenyuan's going to Fucheng.

Because of the three-day journey, it is necessary to bring some dry food and clothing on the road, so Mrs. Zhao is very busy these days. Yesterday, she killed a hen to replenish Du Wenyuan's body. She was afraid that she would be sick and delay the exam. I just dipped a little light, got a big chicken leg, and drank a few bowls of delicious chicken soup.

"Where can I hire a car then?" Mrs. Zhao discussed with Du Xian, "Otherwise, I'll ask Mr. Zhang?"

"Where can I get the bullock cart?" Du Xian shook his head, "You can't go for ten days and half a month."

But a carriage is not as expensive as it is, and it is not something their family can afford.

"At that time, I will go with Zhuo Yu, their family has a carriage." Du Wenyuan came in just in time, and said, "I wanted to talk about it, but I made my parents bother."

"That's fine." But Mrs. Zhao still hesitated, "But will it be too troublesome?"

"No, Master Wan has already said so."

Du Xian laughed and said, "I thought that boy was good. It seems that his uncle is also good. Wen Yuan, you have made a good friend. By the way, his name is Zhang Zhuoyu, right? How old is he this year? "

"Two years younger than my son." Du Wenyuan replied.

"Oh, I'm only 11 years old, still young, still young."

Mrs. Zhao laughed when she heard this, patted her husband and said, "It doesn't matter how old you are, is it possible that you still want to tell him a matchmaker? There is no girl in our village who is worthy. I heard that his uncle, Master Wan, is in town. They are all considered rich, and they often eat with the magistrate." These are all heard from Mrs. Qin, who knew that Du Huanghua was going to be Mrs. Wan's apprentice, so she always mentioned things about the Wan family.

Du Xian lifted his chin towards the door, "I see that he is very friendly with us Xiaoyu every time he comes back, the two of them talked and laughed."

Mrs. Zhao became even more amused, "How old is Xiaoyu? Do you think about these things when you are eight years old? Really, you are more worried about being a father than I am. If you have the time, why don't you find a good one for Huang Hua first."

"That's right," Du Xian laughed, "Huang Hua has to marry first, but I'm looking at Xiaoyu, who is so smart, what kind of family should I find?"

"Oh, I see you praised her." Mrs. Zhao pinched him. It's easy to find a husband.

Du Wenyuan next to him was silent, turned his head to look, and saw Du Xiaoyu squatting in front of the field, still studying the cold melon seedlings.

Coming out of the room, he walked up to Du Xiaoyu and said, "Do you not get tired of watching this all day long?"

"It's idle anyway." She pointed to the leaf, "Did you see that there is a small spike coming out, I can remove it and plant it in two days after looking at it."

Du Wenyuan was silent for a while, "Dad just said that Zhuo Yu..."

"Zhang Zhuoyu?" Du Xiaoyu turned around, "What did Dad say about him?"

Seeing her curious face, Du Wenyuan turned his head and said, "It's nothing."

It looked a little strange, Du Xiaoyu looked at him, "Is the second brother worried that Zhang Zhuoyu won't pass the exam?"

"What?" Du Wenyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, no, it's fine. I just said it casually last time. In fact, even if he is admitted as a scholar, he is still not as good as his second brother. Don't worry." She patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, "It's fine if he can compose poetry. , I don't think he can surpass you in this regard." She was speaking the truth.

But Du Wenyuan doesn’t sound like that. It’s enough to be able to write poems?Does it mean that he is inferior to Zhang Zhuoyu in other aspects?He narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and left.

Du Xiaoyu stared at his back for a moment, then chuckled for a while, hey, this aggressive second brother may have misunderstood it, but it's okay, maybe it will be motivating, and he will get good grades in the exam It's never too late to praise.
