farmer's daughter

Chapter 145
Chapter 140 Five
Hearing Liang Zhongqiu's words, Old Shen was also startled, he didn't know that this little granddaughter has such great ability now.The third child's family can really live a good life!However, the village chief Shen didn't understand what old Mr. Shen was thinking.Old Mr. Shen still has a glimmer of hope for his eldest grandson, he hopes that he can really study hard, and that he will give old Mr. Shen's parents a good face when he comes back from the exam next year!
Liang Zhongqiu understood what old Shen was thinking, smiled and said:

"Xuejian said that after the spring of next year, she will send her younger brother to school. Although the little guy is only five years old, he is also very smart. The handwriting is very good, and even my youngest son praised him for his good writing. .It’s better than those of my grandsons.”

Village head Shen immediately patted his horse on the horse and said:
"Oh, I don't know how you teach your children. My son is a Juren. I heard that your eldest grandson is now a scholar?"

Liang Zhongqiu laughed and said:
"I don't know a few of you. They are willing to study hard. Yes, my eldest grandson is a scholar, and my second grandson is not good at studying. He loves to learn martial arts from his grandfather, but this year he still went to the Tongsheng exam. I don't know if he passed it or not. Yes, my third grandson also took the exam. I heard that Xue saw that her cousin Chengye also took the exam. I don’t know if he passed or not. Tomorrow is the day when he will be listed, and we will know tomorrow.”

The old men chatted vigorously there, and saw Xuejian and Xiaocao walking towards the well carrying a basket.Yue Yin followed behind, holding a few straws in her hands.Liang Zhongqiu said with a smile:

"It seems that this girl is going to do something again, Xue Jian, what are you going to do again?"

Xuejian raised her head and smiled and said:

"Grandpa, you and the village head grandpa and grandpa can chat slowly, I will make you a delicious appetizer tonight." Liang Zhongqiu said with a smile:

"The pork belly and intestines you made at noon are delicious. Are you going to make the pig's head tonight?"

Xuejian nodded, and took two steps up and down with Xiaocao, seeing that her small body couldn't lift up.Liang Zhongqiu stood up, walked forward and said:
"Where do you move to?"

Xuejian pointed to the well and said:
"Over there. I'll wash it later."

Liang Zhongqiu carried the basket with one hand, and let it pass in a few steps.Xuejian went to carry two small stools, Yueyin took out the pig's head from the basket, and the three girls gathered around the two pig's heads to pluck the hair.For Xiaocao and Yueyin, Xuejian does what she says.Three little black heads bumped into each other.

Liang Zhongqiu smiled and said:

"Looks like we're lucky again tonight!"

For this pork head meat, Xuejian finally separated the bones from the meat with the help of Hu and Chen. The bones were thrown into a large pot, and the soup was boiled. Stir it out and eat it.Chen and Lan are making white flour steamed buns.Xuejian said, do more.After finishing the work, not to mention that everyone is full, they will take two with them.Lan's was doing it while chanting:

"It's only Xuejian who thinks well. This big white steamed bun can't be eaten a few times a year. She even brings it back to every family. How much white flour does it cost!"

Chen said with a smile:

"What are these steamed buns? Xuejian also said that there must be meat to eat every day. My father went to the street today but asked the butcher to deliver the meat the next day."

Lan's paused, sighed lightly and said:
"Yes, Xue'er has made some money now, but Cheng Fang is still sick, so she should save some money. In the future, Wen'er and Wu'er will have to spend money. Looking back, we should all persuade Xue'er."

Chen's spirit approached him mysteriously and said:

"Let me tell you, don't try to persuade Xuejian, don't worry. Wen'er Wuer is taking money from his wife now, and Xuejian has prepared everything. Xuejian is a conscientious child. Look, she Once you have money, thank those of us who treat her better. You, don't worry about her, it's good to protect her. This child is worthy of our protection. "

Lan's paused and nodded.No more talking.But Chen's words also went to her heart.She also understood that if the second child hadn't reported to Liangjia Village in the dark that night.Xue Jian will not repair the house or send quilts or fabrics to her family.Think about the 20 taels of silver hidden in the quilt.When I opened the quilt and fell out, my family was stunned.Yueyin quickly covered Xueqiang's mouth, otherwise Xueqiang would have screamed.

Sure enough, when everyone came back from work to eat in the evening, when they saw a large bowl of big white steamed buns on the table, the eyes of those who were doing the work were all brightened.In addition, on each table there was a pot of soup bubbling with oil and two plates of shiny meat.Everyone smiled, but the more they were in front of such a good thing, each of them felt restrained, ashamed to reach out for the steamed buns, they just stared at the steamed buns one by one.

Mrs. Chen brought out a basket of steamed buns, and laughed when she saw this scene:

"What do you want to see? Eat them all. Look, there is still one basket here. It's enough. But the owner said, after a while, one person will take two home for the children to eat. It's still steaming on the stove."

When Mrs. Chen opened her mouth, twenty or so people unceremoniously reached out to pick them up and ate them. They finished eating on the table in a short while, and Mrs. Chen added to several tables respectively.Everyone hiccups after eating.In the end, he really kept his word and brought them two home.

Among the four old men sitting at the other table, old man Mo was the most unkind, and he didn't care about big white steamed buns.The first thing he stretched out his chopsticks was the pork head.When I bought it, it looked black, dirty, and hairy all over, but now it is oily, bright red, and I want to eat it just looking at it.Old man Mo picked up two pieces with one chopstick and put them in his mouth. Red oil was dripping on his beard, but he nodded repeatedly.He waved to the other three old men.

Old Shen is the most restrained eater.But the first thing I took was steamed buns.Seriously eat this rarely eaten food. Usually, if there is white flour at home, it is made for several grandchildren, especially the eldest grandson.Old Shentou always eats rough noodle buns with other people.This big white noodle steamed bun is really delicious!
After eating, Liang Shenggao and Liang Zhongqiu drove the horse-drawn cart and the other drove the ox-cart, and pulled the men of Liangjia Village back.Hu and Chen stayed.Because I have to make breakfast tomorrow morning.Xue Jian put a bag into a bamboo basket and asked her grandpa to take it back to her grandma and the others, which were the pig intestines at noon and the pig head meat at night.

Xuejian and Xiaocao stayed, and lived in Grandpa Shen Qi's house with Yue Yin and Yue Lian.When it was dark, Grandpa Shen Qi and Grandma Shen Qi came back.Seeing how tired the two were, Hu Shi and Chen Shi hurriedly brought out the food left for them.After eating, Grandma Shen Qi sighed and said:
"Look at that family, it's very pitiful, and the burden is also very hateful! The child was born. It's just that he was held for too long. Whether he can survive is another matter. Several others were injured, and their hands were broken. Severed hand. No one boiled some hot water. I went to boil some water to wash the child."
