Chapter 157: Learning the Craft
"Then what is it! The kitchen is not warm in the room, I have sent it to you, you are about to drink it while it is hot, now your body is the most important!" Aunt Li confirmed that Xiaoqing was pregnant, and always told her many times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis made Yan Qing feel that even if he didn't have this bowl of chicken soup, his heart was warm, and he was very grateful to his aunt.
She insisted on going to the kitchen to eat together, saying, "It's okay! I'll drink this bowl of chicken soup and add a jacket to eat with you in the kitchen." Aunt Li will go back and eat first! I'll go later."
"That's it!" Aunt Li couldn't resist Xiao Qing, she understood Xiao Qing's intentions for them, she smiled and nodded in agreement.
As soon as she turned around, she heard the children coming out and chasing her.
"Master, Master!" The children ran close to them and shouted at the Master and the Master, and then turned to Grandma, "Grandma, we have added clothes, now we can go and drink chicken soup and eat meat, right?"
Yan Qing looked at these little gluttonous cats, it turned out that they were hungry by the smell of chicken soup, she and Su Jin looked at each other and smiled, so they had to follow them to the kitchen with Aunt Li.
She quickly finished the chicken soup, put on a coat, and walked out of the house with Su Jin.
In the kitchen.
The children were each given a small bowl of chicken soup and two pieces of meat, and at night, Aunt Li didn't dare to give them more drinks and more food, so that they could satisfy their hunger, and the children could go to sleep obediently.
"Master, Master!" said the children.
The tray in Yan Qing's hand was taken by Aunt Li, and she smiled and asked the children, "How is it?"
"It's delicious!" Yan Cheng finished eating the meat and drinking the chicken soup, and licked the bottom of the bowl with great satisfaction.
Wen Jing was tall and thoughtful, and he saw that there was only one bowl in the tray, and if he wanted to say that he had stewed such a good thing, why did his grandmother only serve it to his master and his wife alone? Shouldn't the master have a share? He asked, "Why doesn't the master drink chicken soup? Is it a special day today?" It's night, and grandma and grandpa come to the private school to stew chicken soup, not to mention it?"
After listening to a series of questions, Su Jin and Yan Qing smiled.
Aunt Li served another bowl of chicken soup to Xiaoqing, because the chicken was distributed to the children, there were only a few bones left, she also served a bowl to Mr. Su, drank it to warm up, and said with a palindrome that couldn't close her mouth: "Grandma told you that your master is pregnant! Of course, grandma wants to give her stewed chicken soup to drink, so as to replenish her body, grandma has not forgotten your master, no, the last bowl of chicken soup is left for Mr. Su."
"Shiniang is pregnant?" the children immediately began to discuss.
How many things can be stewed by a chicken, the children have eaten a lot, presumably Uncle Feng and Aunt Li have not drunk a mouthful of chicken soup, Yan Qing pushed back the bowl of chicken soup in front of him and said: "Aunt Li, give it to Uncle Feng to drink! I have already drunk a bowl, Uncle Feng is busy with painting and various things every day, it is very tiring."
"Xiao Qing is right!" Su Jin continued: "Another bowl of chicken soup, you drink it yourself." Aunt Li is busy for the gallery, we see it in our eyes, and we are grateful in our hearts!
"This..."The chicken soup in Aunt Li's hand couldn't be delivered, but it made her a little embarrassed, she said: "Mr. Xiao Qingsu, our second elder knows that you care about us very much! But we are old, even if we drink a bowl of chicken soup, we can't make up for anything, we have just eaten, you should drink these two bowls of chicken soup! If you don't drink it, it should be cold."
They have their own opinions for the two bowls of chicken soup, but they actually know in their hearts that they are not pushing away the two bowls of chicken soup, but they must always be grateful, and every small thing is to care about each other.
When the children learned that the teacher was pregnant with a little brother or little sister, they were very happy with a burst of joy. They relieved their hunger and clamored to play in the classroom for a while, and Yan Qing also went with them, so they were full after dinner.
Su Jin and Feng Zicheng went to the hall to talk about the calligraphy and painting in the gallery, as well as the views of the painters on calligraphy and painting.
Yan Qing and Aunt Li washed the dishes in the kitchen before they sent Aunt Li and Uncle Feng back. Afterwards, she went to the children's house and told them stories every night.
On the second day, Yan Qing listened to the persuasion of Aunt Li and her husband, and took care of her body in a private school for a few days, but did not rush to the art gallery.
After breakfast, she played in the yard with the children for a while, and when it was time for class, she packed up some clothes in the children's house. Today's weather is good, and the children's bedding is taken out to dry again.
After drying it, he came to the well with a large basin of clothes and made a few buckets of water, only to find that Xingyun and An Liu's clothes were torn a few holes, as if they had been scratched on the ground while playing.
She picked up the two clothes separately, and went to her room to get the needle and thread and the fabric left over from the last time.
When Su Jin walked out of the class, he saw his lady sitting in the corridor sewing the child's clothes, so that when he walked to the lady's side, she didn't notice him.
"Lady!" he called with a smile.
"Hmm..." Yan Qing came back to her senses and looked up at him, accidentally, the needle pricked her fingertips, and a drop of red and bright blood immediately appeared, she pretended to be fine.
But he still let Su Jin see it, he nervously took out the silk white silk handkerchief embroidered by the lady for him, bandaged his mother's fingertips and said: "Fang is the wrong husband! If it wasn't for the sudden call of the lady, the lady's hand would not be injured."
"This little injury is nothing, look at the husband and scare!" Yan Qing smiled.
Su Jin said: "The lady is precious now, don't be negligent"
"Oh, so that's it!" Yan Qing turned around, pretending to be unhappy and muttered, "If I didn't have a baby, wouldn't I be negligent?"
"No! the lady misunderstood the meaning of the husband!" Su Jin knew that he was stupid, so he didn't say anything about the lady's injury, and made her unhappy, he hurriedly explained: "Whether the lady is pregnant or not, the husband hopes that if the needle is pricked in the husband's hand, the lady can avoid the pain of the body."
"Okay, I'm not really upset, why don't I tease you! Husband? Don't I know in my heart!" Yan Qing smiled and lowered his head slightly.
"Lady!" Su Jin held her hand and refused to let go for a long time.
Yan Qing turned her head to look at the classroom and smiled, "Okay! Don't let the children see it!" She withdrew her hand, fiddled with the clothes in her hand twice, and asked him, "Take a look, does this piece have any traces of patches?"
Su Jin looked at it carefully, smiled and said truthfully: "I don't see where the patch is, but if you look carefully, you can see the coil."
"Really?" Yan Qing also saw it herself, and after thinking about it, she only blamed the needlework for not being proficient, and she said: "If only I could embroider a little pattern!
"Well, that's great!" Su Jin nodded.
"That's right, husband!" Yan Qing suddenly remembered something, she said: "Now the weather is getting colder and colder, I want to sew two more winter clothes for the children and husband!
After lunch, I took advantage of the children's lunch break to accompany the lady for my husband!"
"No need!" Yan Qing took his hand and said with a smile: "I want to go to Qifu Embroidery Village, I haven't seen Mrs. Qi and Aunt Li for a long time, I will go to buy fabrics, if I happen to see them in Embroidery Village, I can also chat with them."
"That's good!" Su Jin agreed.
"Husband, go back to class quickly! you don't need to accompany me here, I'll fill the rest of the holes and go to other things!" Yan Qing told him as he sewed up.
"A lady can't be tired, if there is anything, just do it for her husband!" Su Jin said uneasily.
"You also have a lot to do! Teaching, painting, and reading books to prepare for exams, these are enough for you to take a break, don't worry! I know how to measure!" Yan Qing said and looked up at him.
"Hmm!" the two looked at each other and smiled, and Su Jin went back to class.
Yan Qing sewed and mended the clothes, and then washed and dried the clothes.
She went to the backyard, picked vegetables, fed the piglets that had been raised for a short time, and went to the kitchen to cook.
The children are punctual when they eat, and when it is time to eat, they are already hungry.
After lunch.
Yan cleaned his face, made up his makeup, changed his clothes, and came to the Qifu Embroidery Village on Jinxiang Street alone, got off the carriage, and saw that the model in front of the embroidery village was still placed there, which was still the idea she taught Mrs. Qi when she held a fashion show, and she hadn't passed here for a long time. It seems that business is still as good as ever.
She walked into the embroidery hall, there were really a lot of people who bought fabrics, and they didn't see Mrs. Qi and Aunt Li in the hall, as if the shopkeeper had been replaced?
"Yo! Madame is here to buy the ingredients!
A young man greeted her warmly, she nodded, and followed the young man towards the rows of fabrics, listening to the young man introduce her to the various materials as she went.
She walked to the Shu brocade and Yun brocade fabrics and stopped, looking at the styles of these two materials, the little guy stood aside and probed her, but the more she inquired, the more familiar she felt?
The young man asked, "Madame, but Mrs. Su?"
Hearing this, Yan Qing put down the material in his hand, smiled at him and replied: "I don't know which Mrs. Su the little brother is talking about?
"Hehe!" The young man smirked twice and scratched his head and said, "The specific little one is not very clear, the small one just thinks that Mrs. Su is very familiar...?" He racked his brains and thought about it, and suddenly remembered and said: "Madame, have you ever come to Embroidery Village to help the third young lady hold a fashion show?"
"Yes, yes!" Yan Qing admitted.
The young man said happily: "That's right, it's really Mrs. Su." Since that time, the little one has rarely seen his wife come to the embroidery village, and I am so happy to see you today."
Yan Qing looked at him and asked with a smile: "I haven't been busy for a long time, I don't know if Mrs. Qi is in the embroidery village?"
"The third lady is here! Mrs. Su will wait for a while, the little one will go and invite the third lady to come out, you can sit down and drink tea and see the ingredients first!" the young man said and went upstairs.
Went for less than a moment.
Before Yan Qing finished drinking the tea, he saw Mrs. Qi followed by Aunt Li, and happily went downstairs.
The children put on their jackets alone, opened the door, and a cold wind blew in their faces, and they couldn't help but shiver, and then shook their bodies to resist the cold, and ran out of the room one after another.
When they passed in front of the room of the master and the master, the room was lit up, and I wonder what whispers they were talking in it.
Hulin and Xingyun took the lead to the outside of the kitchen house, and saw that Grandma was pouring the chicken soup from the jar into the bowl, and the smell of it permeated their noses, and they were almost hungry. Tonight, the master came back late, and the master gave them noodles to eat, although there were eggs in the noodles, but there was no shredded meat, and there were a lot of vegetables. I ate two bowls of belly, but now I feel hungry again.
They touched their shriveled bellies in unison, and the more they looked at it, the more they wanted to eat.
"Mr. Feng, there is enough firewood, after burning this fire, you can get up and eat!" Aunt Li said with a smile.
"Okay!" Feng Zicheng also smelled the smell of rice, took out the firewood that was about to be burned, got up and swept his sleeves and patted the firewood ash on his body.
"The dish is hot in the rice pot, you eat it first! I'll send the chicken soup to Xiaoqing!" Aunt Li instructed him, picked up the tray and walked out.
Feng Zicheng looked at her and nodded, not in a hurry to eat alone first.
When the children saw their grandmother walking towards them, they had no place to hide for a while, so they all walked out, and Xingyun smiled and asked knowingly, "Grandma, what are you stewing?"
"Chicken soup!" Aunt Li replied seriously, and saw that the children only wore a jacket, and the thin clothes would be infected with the cold, she said curiously: "What time is it, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
"Grandma!" Lan Lan said with a sharp mouth, the youngest of the children, and she said something: "We are hungry, and the master cooked noodles for us to eat at night, and now we are hungry and cold and can't sleep, and we smell the fragrance of your stewed chicken soup." We just came over to take a look."
"So that's the case!" Aunt Li understood, and said to them lovingly: "Nacheng, I knew that grandma stewed both chickens." Well, you go back to the house first to wear more clothes, grandma gave you this bowl of chicken soup, and then call you out to drink chicken soup and eat meat, okay?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiu'er and Zhen'er also clapped their hands! The children cheered and hurriedly ran back to their house, listened to their grandmother, and put on more clothes before coming out.
Su Jin and Yan Qing had endless conversations, he caressed the belly of the lady with one hand, feeling the joy of becoming a father in a few months, and holding the lady in his arms with the other hand and talking about his childhood.
Hearing the children running past their houses with joy pulled them back from their conversations.
"What's going on?" Yan Qing asked inexplicably, it's a big night, what's worth the children to be so happy about?
"Could it be that they already know that their master is pregnant with a baby?" Su Jin said uncertainly.
"Let's go, let's go out and have a look!" Yan Qing held hands with her husband, opened the door, and happened to meet Aunt Li coming to the door with chicken soup, she hurriedly took it and said: "Aunt Li, I have made you tired, I have stewed the chicken soup, and I have personally delivered it." Let's go to the kitchen and eat together!"
