Chapter Eighty-Four: Restarting
Xuan Miaoer despised herself in her heart, she didn't think about listening to her parents, but she was an adult, Liu Xiaotao was really only twelve years old, and she was still a child, but don't really be deceived by that love story, she will not be happy in the future?.? `
Liu Xiaotao blinked and looked at Xuan Miao'er with big eyes: "But if I am literate, I will really meet Xiucailang in the future, will you support me?"
"If it's a good fit, support it. Xuan Miao'er felt like she was lying to a child.
Liu Xiaotao was finally satisfied: "Then I'll go to the town next time to buy some paper and pencils." ”
"Don't rush to buy it yet, don't waste it when you start learning to read, just dip it in water on the table and write, or write it on the ground with a stick. ”
Liu Xiaotao happily showed a mouthful of white teeth, the same white teeth as her brother: "It's still Miao'er thoughtful." ”
Xuan Miao'er asked casually: "Has Brother Zhuzi come back recently?"
"My brother won't be able to come back anytime soon. ”
"Oh, why?"
"My mother wants to tell my brother about matchmaking, my brother said that he didn't want to marry a wife so early, but my mother didn't believe it, and said that he would take him to say goodbye when he came back, so scared that my brother said that he would not come back for the time being, and I went to the town to get my last month's salary back.?? Liu Xiaotao also had some puzzlement on her face, thinking that it was normal for Liu Zhuzi to say that she was close at this age.
Xuan Miao'er just said it casually, and she didn't take it seriously: "It may be that Brother Zhuzi really doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law yet, this matter can't be forced, and then what is the man anxious about." ”
"My mother is in a hurry, anxious to hold her grandson. Liu Xiaotao said with a grin.
Xuan Miao'er thought that Liu Zhuzi was forced by Aunt Liu to marry a daughter-in-law, and it was also quite funny: "Then it depends on who is better between Aunt Liu and Brother Zhuzi." ”
Liu Xiaotao also laughed: "I think so too." ”
Xuan Miao'er picked up a glass of water, dipped it in her fingers, thanked Liu Xiaotao's name on the table, and began to teach from the name.
Early the next morning, Xuan Wenjiang and Dong Gen carried a basket of soil into the kitchen and began to build the stove.
Dong Gen is also in his thirties, and today he is working for work. The clothes he wore were stacked with patches, not too tall, very strong, and had a tiger tooth. Xuan Miaoer followed Xuan Anrui and Xuan Anhao to call Uncle Dong together.
Dong Gen is very honest: "The boys are all good-looking, stand on the side, don't get dirty." ”
Xuan Anrui also wore the most torn clothes, and followed: "It's okay Uncle Dong, I can help?.? `”
Xuan Miao'er pulled Xuan Anhao to stand back. They can't help much, and they still affect their work in the front.
Xuan Wentao heard the voice and moved out of the door frame: "Dong Gen is here, you see that I can't help it, I can only make you tired." ”
"Brother Xuan said far away, what is the relationship between me and Wenjiang, you have separated, we can move around often in the future, you go in and rest, this point will be over in a while." Dong Gen spoke. The work at hand is not delayed.
Xuan Miaoer and Xuan Anhao hurriedly went over to help Xuan Wentao, Xuan Wentao's leg healed well, and he was able to walk with support.
Now it's better to coax fat, and when you're full, you don't cry or make trouble when you're full, and you're very obedient.
Liu went out to buy chickens after feeding them in the morning, and wanted to leave Dong Gen here to eat, but if the chickens were bought and killed, it was inconvenient to ask the housekeeper for help, so when he went directly to buy them, he begged the family that sold the chickens to help kill them. Just take it back and remove the hair directly.
When I went up to the room, I watched them build pots and stoves and kill chickens, but they didn't speak, but they didn't feel good in their hearts.
Xuanwen City went back to the town early in the morning, and he didn't say anything when he saw them building pots, so naturally he wouldn't come to help. Just one glance and then passed.
Xuan Wenbao held a book in his hand and shook his head back and forth in front of the window of the upper room to recite the book, but his eyes kept staring at this side, especially when he saw Liu Shi coming in with a chicken, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, the last time he ate chicken, he only ate a chicken neck, and he didn't even have a piece of meat.
Xuan Wenxin's east wing and west wing are facing each other. He put his hands in his sleeves, kept staring at the movement here, and when he saw the chicken in Liu's hand, he really wanted to go over to help build the stove, and then eat chicken by the way, but in that way, he would inevitably be scolded by Ma, and in the future, they would still have to rely on the upper room, so they didn't dare to go over.
Now there are no worries in the West Wing, and they are all busy. Because only one side of the stove was built, and the stove on the other side could be used as usual, Xuan Miaoer began to boil water to prepare for the removal of chicken feathers.
Xuan Wenjiang and Dong Gen are both people who work hard, although Xuan Anrui is only thirteen years old, but he is also a good worker, he started early, and the stove was built at noon, but it had to be dried for two days first, and it could not be used for cooking immediately.
So there weren't too many dishes today, just stewed a whole chicken, put a lot of potatoes and mushrooms, and their pot was big enough, and the pickles brought by my aunt yesterday also came in handy, and Xuan Miaoer went to get half a catty of wine back.
There was no place to stew rice, so Xuan Miaoer had to take the rice to Aunt Liu's house and beg Aunt Liu to stew rice.
When Xuan Miaoer went to get rice at noon, she didn't forget to send a bowl of chicken stewed mushrooms to Aunt Liu and Liu Xiaotao, and the two families are now closer, less polite, and more casual.
At noon, they all gathered around the kang in Xuanwenjiang's house to eat, but Liu and Xuan Miaoer did not serve the table, and they had to serve these men to serve rice, add vegetables or something. And when there are guests, women are not allowed to serve the table, which is a custom in mountain villages.
However, Dong Gen is very easy-going, a simple peasant man, eating potatoes and mushrooms tightly, only a few pieces of meat, and they are all more bones and less meat.
Xuan Wentao watched Dong Gen eat potatoes all the time, and sandwiched two pieces of chicken thighs for him: "Eat more meat, you have worked all morning, can you not be hungry? Don't be reluctant, after we split up, we won't lose anything." ”
Dong Gen gave the meat to Xuan Anrui and Xuan Anhao again: "You two eat more, grow up, and let your father and mother and your second uncle live a good life in the future." ”
Xuan Wenjiang clamped the chicken head for Dong Gen again, and then said to Xuan Wentao: "Big brother, you don't know that Dong Gen is a kid, he likes to eat these corners where the bones are more fleshy and less meaty, and then he will be satisfied with two sips of wine." ”
Xuan Anhao listened to Xuan Wenjiang's words, and immediately filled Dong Gen's wine: "Uncle Dong drinks." ”
Dong Gen smiled and picked up the wine glass: "This kid is still good at literacy and hyphenation, sensible, the winter boy in my family is as big as the Hao boy, and he runs around outside all day long, which is far from your child." ”
Xuan Wentao likes to hear people praise his children, but he also knows how difficult it is to read in the countryside at this time, and the literate people in this village can count them on two hands: "Dong Gen, if you don't dislike it, let your winter boy come here to read and write with my family Shiro during the day."
