Chapter 17: The Days

The lunch of the Chu family is very rich, or because it is to entertain guests, it is extraordinarily rich.

In short, Zhao Changqing ate very satisfied.

After lunch and playing for most of the day, Zhao Changqing said goodbye and went home.

She went to see the old lady first, and the old lady smiled, "I'm only coming back now, it seems to be having a good time." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I am very close to Sister Chu." ”

"That's good." The old lady said, "Little Pear Blossom is still coming to play with you today." ”

Zhao Changqing hurriedly said, "Then I'll go find her." ”

"What's the hurry?" The old lady smiled, "I went to see your mother first, and she also thinks about you." ”

Zhao Changqing responded.

The Ling family is really worried about Zhao Changqing, after all, he is the general's family, Zhao Changqing said that he is sensible, he often has a little temper at home, and now that Zhao Changqing goes out alone, the Chu family is not afraid that she will suffer or something, but he is worried that Zhao Changqing has no sense of proportion and offends the girl in the general's mansion, isn't this going to offend the general's family? Now seeing Zhao Changqing coming back, and Zhao Changqing's face is not bad, Ling Shi put down his heart and said with a smile, "But I'm back." He pulled her over and asked a long question, "What have you done, Miss Chu likes you?" The bell on the head, how did it change to silk flowers? ”

Zhao Changqing said, "What is my mother worried about, how could Sister Chu not like me, if she didn't like me, she wouldn't invite me to play." The silk flowers were also given to me by Sister Chu, she said that I might as well wear a bell and make a circle of small silk flowers look good, and she also braided my broken hair into two small braids. ”

Ling Shi fussed, "How can you ask someone to give you a haircut?" What are you doing with Liu'er? Such ignorance! ”

"It's not that I said I want to get it, it's that she has to comb it for me, and I'm afraid that Sister Chu will comb it for me. She's not a few years older than me. Zhao Changqing said.

Ling smiled and nodded her eyebrows, "You can't be cheap and sell well, who is still addicted to serving you?" People are polite, and they will not be allowed to do this in the future. The big red dot between the eyebrows was also given to you by Miss Chu. ”

"Well, Sister Chu said that I look good dressed like this." Zhao Changqing nodded and asked, "Mother, do you think I look good dressed like this?" ”

Ling smiled, "It's good-looking, you're the best." ”

Zhao Changqing touched his face and said, "I also think it's very good-looking, mother, you have to buy me flowers to wear in the future, I have to dress up beautifully when I go out." ”

Seeing that Zhao Changqing was not in trouble, the Ling family was relieved and smiled, "How old are you, and you still know how beautiful and ugly you are?" ”

"Of course, I know that I want to be beautiful in the future." Zhao Changqing casually pulled out a reason that made Ling's heart move, and said, "Sister Chu is also very good at dressing up, I have to learn from Sister Chu." ”

Ling smiled, "You are angry, you have rules, and you can get along with your friends well, so I will make you new clothes and buy beautiful flowers, okay?" "If Zhao Changqing is a high-ranking lady in the future, he will naturally dress up more carefully.

Zhao Changqing smiled but did not speak.

Ling Shi asked again, "What did you eat at noon?" ”

Zhao Changqing snapped his fingers and said, "Stewed chicken with mushrooms, roasted rabbit, roasted mutton, vinegared cabbage heart, shredded yam, roasted pork ribs with dried beans, and a big carp, said to be newly beaten today, it is delicious." There is also a sour bamboo shoot soup that is also delicious, and there are other snacks or something, I can't remember clearly. "In fact, they are all ordinary dishes, but the general's mansion is more elegant.

Ling Shi listened with a smile and told her, "If it's delicious, don't show your greed, don't you know it?" ”

"How greedy can you be, I didn't eat much." Zhao Changqing was a little unhappy, Chu Yu could eat it, most of the dishes were swept into Chu Yu's stomach, and his appetite was amazing.

Ling said, "I heard your third cousin say that when you went to Zhu's house that day, you only knew that Lu Dao was sitting in the corner and eating. ”

Zhao Changqing asked wittily, "The third cousin is here today?" ”

Ling nodded, "I was originally looking for you to play, but you weren't there, so I left after lunch." ”

Zhao Changqing asked, "Did the mother tell her that Sister Chu was a girl from the General's Mansion?" ”

Ling smiled, "You don't have to worry about the disaster, your third cousin really has something to say." You are not allowed to show your mouth in front of Miss Chu, do you know it? ”

Zhao Changqing pouted, "I'll ignore her." Why didn't the eldest cousin, second cousin, and fourth cousin come, but chose her? Since she came to play with me, why didn't I talk about so many benefits, but found fault with me and told my mother! Don't say I'm not at home, I ignore her at home. ”

"What nonsense, it was your second uncle who gave our family a New Year's gift, and your third cousin and your cousin Teng followed." Ling said, "In two days, your father is also going to give your grandfather and grandmother a New Year's gift, you go with you, do you know how to go?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Changqing said, "Mother is fine, I'll go back to change my clothes first." ”

Ling smiled, "This dress is very good-looking, wear it." ”

"If you look good, you have to save it, I'll keep it for the New Year." Zhao Changqing didn't like Ling's questions and questions, and she kept saying good things about Ling Sanjie, she was in a hurry to find Xiao Lihua'er.

Ling smiled, "If you want it here, it's you, and the provincial clothes are also you, facing east today, facing west tomorrow, go ahead." ”

Zhao Changqing was going to look for Xiao Lihuaer, but as soon as he arrived at the door of Xiao Lihuaer's house, he heard the sound of quarreling and scolding from inside, so Zhao Changqing didn't go in and quietly returned home.

On the second day, she brought some snacks to see Xiao Lihua'er, Aunt Xing's forehead was wrapped in a white cloth, faintly bleeding, sitting on the bed and laughing, "It's not a big deal, it's Pear Blossom, I have to lie down." ”

Little Pear Blossom said, "What is it that is okay, I shed so much blood yesterday, I asked Pear to buy an old hen, which has faded and stewed on the stove, at noon, you drink a few bowls of chicken soup and eat more meat." Sister Qing don't go, eat chicken at my house. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Okay." He relieved Aunt Xing again, "There is no girl of our age who is more capable than Sister Lihuaer." Pears are also very sensible, auntie, you think about everything, what hurdles you can't pass. ”

Aunt Xing touched Zhao Changqing's head, and her eyes were slightly red.

When Xiao Lihuaer saw her mother like this, she became a little angry and said, "Mother, don't shed those useless tears!" You married such a bastard in the first place, what can you do! Fortunately, the guard is now tightly managed, and he can't come back until dark! What a day is not a good time, but now I have food and drink, which is much better than when I was hungry before! You're crying all the time, what's the use! Hurry up and heal your wounds! was originally cultivated to such a dead ghost father, mother, you cry all day long, and the days will not become sweet! Taking good care of your little brother is the right thing to do. ”

Aunt Xing forced a smile and touched her little son who was blinking and looking around beside her, "Yes, yes." ”

Xiao Lihua's house was covered with charcoal in such a room, and she talked to Zhao Changqing in this room, while constantly weaving baskets in her hands, and even called the pears in with a voice, and smiled at Zhao Changqing, "This kid is still quite angry, sister, you teach us some three-character scriptures intermittently, this kid has memorized it, I will ask this kid to recite it to my sister." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Okay! ”

Zhao Lizi ran into the house when she heard the sound, sniffled, and glanced at the dim sum bag on the kang table after half a turn. Zhao Lizi cheered, and pounced, "Sister Qing is here with a snack!" As a result, Xiao Lihua kicked her back, and Xiao Lihua made a straight face, "Give me an endorsement first!" ”

Zhao Lizi swept off the floating soil on her body and cried with a sad face, "Sister, let me eat a snack first!" I've eaten dim sum before I have the strength to endorse! ”

Xiao Lihua'er only kept a straight face, Zhao Lizi changed her mind and said good things, "Sister, I'll eat a piece!" Luckily! Eat a piece, my brain is bright, and I can recite it very fast, and I won't embarrass you! ”

Little Pear Flower scolded, "You have already disgraced my face!" "Such a greedy mouth, it really makes her lose face in front of Zhao Changqing! Fortunately, Zhao Changqing is a good person, so he won't laugh at her!

Aunt Xing smiled and handed a piece of walnut cake to her son, "Eat it, carry it well after eating!" It's not in vain that Changqing has worked hard to teach you. ”

"Mother, you're used to him again!" Little Pear Blossom is dissatisfied.

Zhao Lizi had already snatched the walnut cake, devoured it, and choked again because he was in a hurry, and poured a mouthful of coarse tea, and then he held his head high and recited the "Three Character Classic" with his throat high.

Zhao Lizi was wearing a floral jacket, and she knew that it should be Xiao Lihua'er's old clothes, which is not unusual, poor people are like this. There are many children, the eldest wears a piece of clothing, the second wears it, the second wears it, and the third child wears it, until the clothes are really torn, and the torn clothes can be disassembled, leaving slightly better scraps to save patches.

Zhao Lizi is a sister, the color of her clothes is mostly pink and red, and the boy is naughty, and her body is not as clean as Xiao Lihua'er, Zhao Lizi also snorts from time to time, and looks like the boys who are always running crazy and rolling in the mud on the street. But he was so clever, and his eyes were so bright.

Zhao Lizi immediately asked after reciting, "Sister Qing, can I recite it correctly?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes, not a word is bad." ”

Zhao Lizi asked her sister with a smile, "Sister, look, my sister praises me for my good back, can I eat another snack?" ”

Xiao Lihua'er was angry, "Zhao Lizi, you are the womb of a pig!" ”

"Sister-sister-" Zhao Lizi kept howling, and Xiao Lihua'er had a dark face, "I'll give you another piece to eat!" ”

Zhao Lizi pouted, unconvinced, "Obviously there is such a big bag, do you only give me two pieces!" ”

"! Don't you have to eat it, don't you have to eat it, don't you have to eat it? Little Pear Blossom asked.

"The pear fruit is so small, it's enough to eat milk and steamed eggs, where to eat snacks, his teeth are a little bigger." Zhao Lizi said, "Let's hurry up and eat separately!" Otherwise, when my father comes back, I will have to go into his mouth! ”

Xiao Lihua'er said, "First eat two pieces for one person, and the rest will be eaten for you tomorrow, you don't want to have some good things and you can't eat them all in one go!" I'm not afraid to die! "Little Pear Blossom will think about it.

Zhao Lizi smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "Last time, Sister Qing gave us a snack, my sister also saved it and put it aside, I originally wanted to eat a meal, but I didn't expect to feed the rats." Ha Lu ha-sigh - "After taking a wicker stick, Zhao Lizi went to get two more snacks and ran away.

Little Pear Blossom scolded, "This faceless and skinless boy!" ”

Zhao Lizi shouted outside the window, "My name is Zhao Lizi, don't always call me in front of Sister Qing, a kid on the left and a kid on the right, hum!" ”

Xiao Lihua'er taught Zhao Lizi a lesson, "You showed me a good chicken soup, dare to lose a piece of chicken, see if I don't beat you flat!" ”

When it was time to eat, it was not a piece of chicken missing, but a big chicken leg was directly missing, Zhao Lizi was full of oil and did not admit that he ate it, not that it was stolen by the mouse, but he was caught and beaten by Xiao Lihuaer, and the ghost cried wolf howling to help serve the vegetables and serve the porridge.

Liu Er came and was sent back by Zhao Changqing.

Xiao Lihuaer was very happy that Zhao Changqing stayed for dinner, and asked Zhao Changqing to sit on the kang to guard his mother, and said with a smile, "It's warm on the kang." My family is coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it, sister. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "If you don't like it, you won't stay and eat." ”

Zhao Lizi pursed her lips and whispered to Zhao Changqing, "My sister has learned a set of external skills since she started basket weaving, anyway, the words she said are not mentioned, and I can sour my teeth when I listen to it." Alas-" The back of the head was hit, and Zhao Lizi protested, "Sister, can you not hit me in the head!" Look at me stupid, I won't be able to memorize it in the future! Say! Are you jealous that you can't endorse as fast as me! Zhao Lizi proudly announced to Zhao Changqing, "Actually, I have memorized these three words a long time ago, oh, the three-character scripture, even if my sister can't memorize it, she must wait for herself to memorize it before going to you." As he spoke, he pouted at his sister, and the chopsticks quickly grabbed another piece of chicken, and put it in his mouth and screamed.

Little Pear Blossom sneered, "This is the end of greed." "Give the remaining chicken leg to Zhao Changqing to eat.

Zhao Changqing hurriedly said, "Give it to the eldest lady to eat and make up for your body." ”

Aunt Xing smiled, "I don't eat it." ”

Xiao Lihua'er sandwiched a few pieces of chicken to her mother and said, "Mother, don't be reluctant to eat, if you can't eat the rest, I'll feed the dog." ”

Aunt Xing hurriedly said, "Don't spoil things." ”

"If you eat more, you won't be able to spoil it, otherwise you will give the people who know that there is still money to eat chicken, and you can't say that you will come to Leken again and ask for silver to gamble." Xiao Lihua'er said lightly, "That's why I lost my wife and broke my soldiers." He turned his head and asked Zhao Changqing, "Is that what you mean, Sister Qing." ”

Zhao Changqing corrected, "The gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, there is such a word, the gains outweigh the losses. That is to say, what you gain is as much as you lose, and you lose money. Xiao Lihuaer educated Zhao Lizi, "The gains outweigh the losses, learn a new word, remember it for me, and ask you tomorrow." ”

Zhao Lizi took a bite of the coarse noodle cake, shook off his cheeks and ate it loudly, without raising his head and said, "The master will never forget it, you should remember it." Don't test me tomorrow, I can't remember. ”

Little Lihuaer scolded him, "You haven't been able to listen to me honestly!" ”

Zhao Lizi smiled and returned his mouth, "That's what you didn't say right!" Whewβ€”" I was pinched again.

Xiao Lihua'er finally pinched Zhao Lizi shut up, and said to Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, I bought some four treasures of the study, you can teach me to write in a while!" ”

"Okay!" Zhao Changqing smiled, "Let's learn from the pears too." I still have the big characters I used to write, and I'll ask Liu'er to send them over in a while. Actually, I copied it all according to the book, although it was not very good, and it was okay to compare it when I first learned it. ”

Little Pear Blossom said happily, "That's great." ”

Pear nodded again and again, "Sister Qing, you gave it to us." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded, Zhao Lizi raised his head happily, and said bluntly to the bottom of Xiao Lihua'er's heart, "In this way, sister, you can save money to buy paper again!" It's the same for us to write on the back. ”

After all, Xiao Lihua'er was young, her face was embarrassed, and she bent her fingers to knock on the pear's head, "As far as you are fine, the key is to be able to compare the handwriting of Sister Qing, do you know it?" A sucker! ”

Zhao Changqing looked at them with a smile, and taught Zhao Lizi to write for half a day after lunch, and returned in the evening.

Ling said to her, "Don't always go to people's homes, if you don't talk about it for a day, you will be the neighbor next door, and you will have dinner at someone's house at noon." Your aunt Xing and their family are tight, and if you go, it is inevitable that you will have to take out money to entertain you, which is not good. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "It's Sister Lihua'er who wants to keep me, we often play together, what's wrong with having a meal." ”

"You don't know how polite you are, and you don't know who Lu Dao looks like?"

"Maybe it's like my father, mother, didn't you still talk about your father and always blindly associate with people, and those people you associate with have to be courtesy, and it hurts you to have an extra one or two silver."

Zhao Yong laughed out loud, and Ling laughed angrily, "You have used your sharp teeth on your mother again." ”

Zhao Changqing leaned on the old lady's arms, the old lady touched her face and smiled, "Seeing that the New Year is coming, let's play with her for a few days." Your body is getting heavier and heavier, and the doctor said that it is the day of the first month, if you want to go back to your mother's house, you should go and have a look before the year, and you will not move in the first month. The midwife is still invited by Zhao Sheng's family, she has good craftsmanship, what do you think? ”

Ling smiled, "My mother thinks about me everywhere, and my daughter-in-law thinks it's all right." Yesterday, my brother came over, and I already told him, I didn't go back a year ago, and I just asked the master to take Changqing over to see the old man when he gave the New Year's gift. Speaking of which, my grandmother's New Year's gift is also ready, and my mother thinks when will it pass? ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "It doesn't matter what day it is, it's fine." ”

Zhao Yong said, "I will rest for the rest of my son, so it is better for me to take Changqing with my mother to my grandmother's house that day." ”

With that, the matter was settled.
