take a wife to support the family

Chapter 472 Honeycomb Crisp Corn

Although Baihe promised to marry Qiongniang, she couldn't find it in a hurry. Besides, Qiongniang was not old enough to marry soon, so she just had to pay attention to it every day.

Baihe kept Qiongniang's story in her heart, and asked someone to send some tonics and Yueniang, and said to her: "My mother is impatient, don't get angry with her, so you can live with Qingsong."

Hearing this, Yueniang really breathed a sigh of relief: most of the Li family's affairs are decided by Lily, if Lily annoys her, she can't get it right.If Lily is willing to support her, even if Mrs. Zhu is unreasonable, life will be easier.

Not two days later, the craftsman Li came to look for Lily, and said to her: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, why don't you send us home, you can't celebrate the New Year in the capital."

Lily was stunned: "Qingsong is in the capital, so you can stay in the capital to celebrate the new year. Is someone talking nonsense?"

Carpenter Li sighed and said, "No one is gossiping, I just can't let go of my family."

When they left, they entrusted all the affairs of the family to the neighbors, but the old people loved their homes and could not leave that place no matter how far they traveled. Even if their children were by their side, they felt lonely without hearing the local accent.

There is another reason for Li's craftsman, it is Zhu's and Yueniang's quarrel this time, reminding him that Zhu's is not easy to get along with, Qingsong finally married a good wife, so don't let the old woman distract you.

Carpenter Li clearly remembered that when Baihe married Song Haonian, Niu also talked about things and was dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law 1 times. Fortunately, Song Haonian was always on Lily's side, and the two were not separated.

Niu Shi didn't care about Song Haonian's adopted son, Zhu Shi was Qingsong's biological mother, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would tear each other apart, and Qingsong was caught in the middle.

Carpenter Li has been weak all his life, but he is good to a few children and is willing to plan for their future. Even for Qingsong and his wife to have a baby soon, he has to bring Mrs. Zhu back to the countryside.

Lily thought for a while, but she didn't stop her, she just said: "You guys stay here for a while, pack up slowly, now you want to leave suddenly, I'm afraid others will gossip about Yueniang."

Carpenter Li thinks this is the reason, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just quarrel, and the parents-in-law are about to go back to the countryside. Outsiders will definitely think it is Yueniang's fault. He has good intentions.

Lily smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. You have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to do things in the same way. It's useless even if you are in a hurry. I fried some honeycomb corn today. It's so crispy and sweet. Do you try it?"

Honeycomb corn is fresh corn kernels mixed with flour and eggs into a paste, sifted into an oil pan and fried over high heat. It melts in the mouth and tastes wonderful.

Carpenter Li's teeth are not very good at this age. Last year, two back molars moved, and he was not allowed to eat fried lilies that were usually too hard, but honeycomb corn was not too hard, and he ate it quite deliciously.

Carpenter Li ate half a plate of honeycomb corn with tea and asked Lily, "Is it true or pure?"

He came here for such a day, but he didn't see his two grandsons, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Lily said: "If you really go to class, if you want to go with Chun, let them go together."

The two brothers had already attended a lot of elementary school courses in the women's school. The emperor and Xin Wang had tested them before, and they were enlightened within a few days. A great Confucian from the National History Museum was sent to give half-day classes every day.

Song Haonian said: "You don't need a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. After reading those books, I'm afraid it's more salty than I've ever eaten. How can I let him enlighten the brat?"

The emperor had another reason: "Everything like enlightenment and basic education must be done by everyone, so as to set the right path and not go astray in the future. If the half bottle of water is left to dangle, he still can't figure it out. , how to teach children?"

The great Confucians of the left and right liked children, so they didn't feel neglected, so Song Haonian had no choice but to let them go.

Since then, Little Devil Ruzhen has been rejected from the school, and he is not allowed to play for half a day every day. He is very unhappy. At first, he saw that going to school is fun, but after he really learns, he realizes that going to school is also tiring, and it is far less relaxing than playing.

So in the past two days, Ruzhen coaxed Ruchun to go to school with him. There was no reason for him to study hard, and Ruchun was having fun at home.

Ruchun is easy to coax, as soon as Ruzhen coaxes him, he will go.He only turned two years old in the twelfth lunar month. Although he had some ear sounds at this time, what could he understand?

When Song Haonian sent his son to school, he was afraid that his husband would scold him: What does it mean to bring a child who is still wearing crotch pants!
Fortunately, Ruchun didn't cry or make noises, and Mrs. Chang followed them, and asked Mrs. Chang for food when she was hungry, so she was more serious about listening to Ruchun.If he really saw his younger brother like this, he was embarrassed to make trouble, opened his eyes wide, and vowed to learn better than his younger brother.

Seeing them like this, the husband reluctantly agrees that Ruchun will stay and have the right to bring up one more child, which is not too much trouble.

Carpenter Li couldn't help nodding and laughing: "It's good to read and read, but don't be blind like us."

In the second half of the day, Song Haonian came back with his sons, naturally he also had honeycomb corn to eat, he swallowed a mouthful of corn, and said: "Mother, give Yiyu some."

It turns out that Yiyu should also be enlightened and study together with them.Yiyu is a little fat man, and the princess mansion never lacks food and clothing, so he has grown a little fat unknowingly, if it is true that a child should be chubby, then Yiyu is indeed too fat.

As soon as Princess Changping and Concubine Mu found out that their son was very fat, they immediately tried to find a way to lose weight with him, and had a sweet meal every three days.Fatty Yiyu is in the royal family, but he is so craving for sweets that his mouth is watering.

If Zhen was born generous, he shared his snacks with Yi Yu, and the two brothers soon got better enough to wear a pair of trousers.

Song Haonian knocked on Ruzhen's head: "Your aunt doesn't allow Yiyu to eat sweets, if you secretly give him sweets, you will harm him!"

Ruzhen blinked and didn't understand, so Song Haonian had no choice but to hug his son and tell him some far-reaching truths that parents care for their children, and finally persuaded this brat, he nodded and said: "That can't be given to him, in the future I didn't feed him either."

He looked down at himself, tilted his head to look at Ruchun, and said cautiously: "Father, my brother and I are not too fat, are we?"

Song Haonian suppressed a smile: "You two are just right."

Ruzhen let out a long breath: "I knew it, I'm so pretty!"

Ruchun: "Pretty!"

Lily almost laughed out loud in front of her. In two days, she will go to the kitchen to make konjac shreds, dried bamboo shoots, gluten, etc., fry them in vegetable oil, and take them to the school to eat. Although these things are not sweet, she will give them Add a little chili into it, the aftertaste is very fragrant, and several children love it.

These few things have an advantage, they occupy your mouth and stomach, but it is not easy to gain weight.

Yiyu's movement could not be hidden from Princess Changping, the princess knew that Lily was hardworking, so she came to thank her specially, Lily said: "Don't we all wish the children well? This small matter is also worthy of being a big sister to thank me!"

Their sisters-in-law don't need to be too polite, they are busy and don't mention it after they separate.

Here, Lily has to arrange for her parents to salute and send them back to their hometown. It's really worrying for the old couple to go on the road, but she has to stay in the capital for the New Year. Just for the sake of sending them home, Lily has been planning for several days. Can't settle down.

Song Haonian saw that she was really embarrassed, and asked someone from Xin Wang to escort the old father-in-law and mother-in-law back home, and then he was selected.

Princess Zhou also said: "Wouldn't it be good if you let them stay in the capital for the New Year?"

Song Haonian talked about what the Zhu family had done, "It's fine if they want to go back, but now Qingsong's foundation is still shallow, and her old man will make trouble, which will be bad for everyone. After a few years, she won't be able to make trouble anymore, and Qingsong will also die." Promising, Yueniang has another child to adjust, I'm afraid it will be better."

Concubine Zhou and Mrs. Zhu couldn't talk about going together, so she couldn't help nodding and said: "Forget it." Then she ordered someone to open the warehouse, "Take some Cheng Yi and send it to my mother-in-law, don't neglect them."

Concubine Zhou knew that Mrs. Zhu couldn't appreciate it, so she gave her a small box of gold, Mrs. Zhu was really happy, and came to thank her personally: "My lord, if it weren't for your generosity, I don't know how my family will spend this year. "

Concubine Zhou didn't know what to do with her, her sons and daughters were all promising, so they couldn't survive the year?
Mrs. Zhu went back happily, and gave half of the gold to Qingsong, so that he could buy a house. Qingsong couldn't laugh or cry: "Since it was given to you by the concubine, you can keep it for your life. You can give it to my son in the future. You don't have to worry about the house. It won't be long." I will be able to buy a big house next year, and I will take you and dad to live together."

Qingsong has ambition, but Zhu Shi is no match for him, so he happily takes the gold home.

Besides the gold, Lily also brought her a lot of cloth, pills, and jewelry. When Mrs. Zhu goes home, she can brag with her relatives and neighbors for a year or two just to show off.

When it was time to leave, Mrs. Zhu was very reluctant to part with her son and grandson, hugged them and cried loudly: "Or let your father go back, and I will cook for you, clean up the house, and just have two wooden boards to sleep on."

She said it pitifully, Lily smiled and said: "You should go home and be your old lady well. Qingsong doesn't need to suffer as much as you do, as long as there is a moon girl."

Yueniang and Mrs. Zhu did not want to save face, so they also came up to say something about taking care of themselves along the way, Mrs. Zhu also said: "Treat Qingsong well, and don't wrong him. Although I am not here, my heart is on Qingsong. Whenever he is cold I'm sick, I know it all."

Qingsong can't laugh or cry: "Mother, Yueniang won't wrong me." Both the young couple have learned a lesson, this time when Mrs. Zhu came, Qingsong didn't fetch water for Yueniang to wash her feet, and Yueniang also acted like his family was all done by her. Qingsong acted as if she had the final say, pretending that she was a little daughter-in-law without her own opinion, which at least didn't make Mrs. Zhu dissatisfied to the end.

Mrs. Zhu touched Qingsong's head and said: "When you were born, you were not as big as your father's hands, but now you have grown so tall... Well, I can't help my mother, why do I talk about these things, it's just annoying people .”

Qingsong immediately felt guilty and embarrassed: "I grow up fast so I can make money and be filial to you. Don't be sad."

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Zhu boarded the boat, and Ruzhen Ruchun called out from behind: "Grandpa and grandma take care on the way!"

She smiled and said: "Go back earlier, don't catch the wind."

As soon as the boat sailed, the old couple headed towards Taiping County.
