Day after day, year after year, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, Tang Qing'er is twelve years old, she is already a slim girl, wearing a light blue emerald cigarette shirt, embroidered a chrysanthemum at the cuffs, wearing a pair of Li Shina's pink lace shoes on her feet, and eating for the chickens with chicken food.

I have to say that Tang Tiezhu's family has undergone earth-shaking changes in recent years, from being poor to being a wealthy household in the village, from buying chickens, ducks and pigs in the spring to selling jujube wine in the autumn, and then selling poultry during the New Year in winter.

Tang Qing'er had just finished feeding the chickens, and saw her mother coming out with a wooden basin to support her waist, Tang Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said, "Mother, you are about to give birth, why do you still work at every turn." After the first month of this year, her mother was busy stir-frying in the kitchen, smelling the greasy smell and feeling sick to her stomach, and happened to be seen by Tang Qing'er, and hurriedly called her father over, wanting to find a doctor to see, Li said that he would not let anything, how could he still see a doctor in the first month, this is not looking for bad luck, saying that he would not go, or Tang Qing'er secretly asked the stone to invite the barefoot doctor in the village to come over, specifically for her mother to see.

Li saw the doctor enter the house, his face was not good, and it was not good to scold the babies in front of outsiders, so he could only endure his anger and let the doctor take the pulse.

"Your brothers and sisters were born to me, when I gave birth to you, how could there be such a quiet day, pregnant and holding your stomach and going to work in the field, a few of you are not alive and jumping, just this one in the belly is a blessing, and it doesn't make me comfortable, it's been this month, and you still toss me every day, it's really a little enemy," the belly is pregnant to this month, there are still some things that can't be eaten, and I can't help but want to vomit when I smell it.

"Mother, this shows that the younger brother in the belly is a naughty bag, and said energetically,"

"How do you know it's a younger brother in your belly, if it's a younger sister?"

"Mother, there are many people in the village who see you with a sharp belly, and they all say that you are pregnant with a male baby," after all, the eyes of the masses are bright, and we must believe in the people.

"Whether this baby is a boy or a girl, I like it, in my life, the children have been both, and I don't care if this is a boy or a girl," touched his belly and said, "This is an extra blessing from God,"

"Mother, you just love to believe in these, hurry up and give me the basin, what about Jiao'er?" What does this have to do with the Buddha, the mother is pregnant with a baby, it can only show that her mother has strong fertility, her father has a good physique, and the coordination of yin and yang can give birth to a baby, of course, this is not to say to her mother.

"This girl went to your second uncle's house to play with Fei'er," Li slowly walked back to the house holding her daughter's hand.

"Mother, you can't get used to Jiao'er, it's time for her to help the family," In the past few years, Tang Tiezhu and Li have been busy farming in the spring, harvesting in the autumn, making jujube wine, and going to the town to sell poultry in the winter.

Not to mention that in the past three years, the family has not lost weight in the case of being so busy and tired, but has become fat, and the face is slowly ruddy, and the food is slowly picky, I remember that once her mother went to the kitchen to cook, and the wood symbolically sandwiched a few bites, and the stone did not give Li face and put down the dishes and chopsticks directly: "Mother, your cooking skills are getting more and more regressive, and you can't catch up with half of the taste of the eldest sister's cooking." He looked at Tang Qing'er pitifully and said, "Eldest sister, will you be in charge tomorrow night?" ”

The other people at the table raised their heads and looked at Tang Qing'er without blinking, as if she said that if she didn't everyone, everyone would take the rice in the bowl and throw it in her face, Tang Qing'er nodded involuntarily when the voltage was so high, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, eating her mother's dishes as if they were eating deflated.

Every time this happens, Li will put down his chopsticks, point to the wood's nose and say, "You brush today's bowl!" No one is allowed to have an opinion. ”

Mu Tou was originally the kind of person who would not explain the reason to his family, and he said this for the sake of the future, who knew that he was angry with his mother, and he didn't dare to say anything when he saw his mother punish him like this.

This meal is only the happiest to eat with stones, tonight it was his turn to brush the dishes, but he didn't expect it to be wood to help him brush, the eldest sister also promised her to take charge of the spoon tomorrow, it is really two great pleasures in life, cooking and washing dishes are done by others, he just needs to enjoy.

Seeing this, Tang Qing'er hurriedly put a little dish in the bowl, ate it in her mouth, and said: "Mother, this dish you make is really delicious, I love to eat it, they say that you can't taste it if it's not delicious," Seeing that Li's face was slightly better, he said with a bitter face: "Mother, now you should be relaxed, you don't have to go into the kitchen to smell the smell of oil smoke anymore, but it's bitter girl,"

Li patted her hand, smiled and said to the people at the table: "When your eldest sister gets married, see where you go to eat, and then you have the ambition not to eat the dishes I cook," and the dishes made at that time are not as good as the current taste, see if you still dare to chirp."

Mu thought about things in the long run, but what her mother said just now made sense, and the problem of cooking could not be ignored, so she slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and said, "Sister, I think you still teach your mother the secret of cooking from tomorrow," Since you have been punished, you must also do things to the end.

Li's originally improved face stood up angrily by the words of the wood, he was not putting out the fire at all, but making the fire more violent, Li said angrily: "You are the first person in our family who has no conscience," After speaking, he sat down, and quickly ate the dishes he made, in fact, he knew in his heart that the dishes made by Qing'er were indeed getting better and better, and the dishes she made always felt less taste or heat.

"You have endured hardships since you were a child, and your family has been doing well in recent years, and my mother feels distressed every time she sees you working, and she can't bear to let your sister be the same as when you were a child," Thinking of the past days, and then looking at the current days, it is really heaven and earth.

"Mother, I understand, but my sister will be six years old after the New Year, and if she doesn't learn housework, she will be the one who suffers at that time," as she was saying Tang Jiao'er, she jumped over and said, panting and said, "Mother, I'm hungry, when will I eat?"

Looking at the carefree sister in front of her, Tang Qing'er sighed deeply, the younger brothers and sisters in the family, Tang Qing'er can understand their hobbies, like wood likes to read, stone likes money, Jiao'er is interested in eating, every time Tang Qing'er makes a fresh dish, Jiao'er has to rush to try it, and then look at her with admiration, but she is not interested in cooking, in general, she is a foodie.

"You know how to eat every day, did you finish the homework I assigned you yesterday," other people's snakes hit three inches, Tang Qing'er may not know, but she knows where Tang Qing'er's key is, she is most afraid of reading and writing.

Tang Jiao'er, who grew bigger and bigger, was not afraid of the Li family, but was afraid of the eldest sister with a normal tone, so she trembled and said: "There are still five big characters that have not been described, I will go to the tracing," and ran into the house in a hurry, as if Tang Qing'er could chase her behind.

"You, Jiao'er sees you like a mouse seeing a cat, and she doesn't dare to gasp," Li touched his stomach and shook his head as he looked at the posture of the sisters chasing her.

At dinner, Wood and Stone talked about the autumn preparation for the children's test, except for the two of them and Jiao'er who was bent on eating, the other three were stunned, and Li said excitedly: "Is Master Zhou agreeing to your end?" ”

"Well, but the master said that the wood hopes to be bigger," Shi said slowly, the latter sentence is not clear, he may not be able to pass the examination, he is not interested in the imperial examination, what he likes most is how to make money, how to make more and more money, like a snowball.

Tang Qing'er pressed her excitement and said steadily: "After all, you are still young, if you don't try again this year or next year, you can always be admitted,"

Mu Tou didn't say a word, eating the stewed beans wholeheartedly, Tang Qing'er knew that the calmer the wood was, the more nervous he was, and wanted to tell him a few words, but he didn't know what to say, so he thought about it: let it be, if everyone in the family cares, then wouldn't he be even more nervous, just treat him as usual.

Thinking so, but doing it is a different look, seeing that the children's test is getting closer and closer, Tang Qinger changes her tricks every day to cook food for them, and the little faces of the two people who eat are smooth and smooth.

Every time Li saw it, he couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "There are fish and meat every day, and it has to cost a lot of money,"

Tang Qing'er only needed one sentence, and her mother no longer felt sorry for money: "Mother, you said that if the two of them are admitted to the Tongsheng, the family will be exempted from paying taxes every year, and when they are admitted to Xiucai, they don't have to kneel when they see the official master, which is called not being able to give up the child and not be a wolf," Well, it means this, it seems that there is something wrong with the common saying, no matter, anyway, this is the meaning."

On this day, the sun was shining, Li dragged his bulky body, got up early to help Tang Qing'er make breakfast, even if Tang Qing'er tried every means to persuade her, she still wanted her sons to go to the town today to take the children's exam to eat the breakfast she cooked.

Wood and stone have been a little nervous since two days ago, and they were beaten by the eldest sister last night, and the two of them wanted to open, and they had a big appetite and ate a lot of things, and they had the strength to do well in the exam.

Before dawn, Tang Tiezhu fed his cattle to his heart's content, and when his sons had finished eating, the ox cart was ready, and the wood and stones were put on the cart, and he drove them to the town.

Li has been watching at the door, until he can't see the ox cart, he was helped into the house by Tang Qing'er and Jiao'er on both sides, probably worried about his two sons, his stomach hurt a little in the morning, and when he got to the house, he lay on the kang with Tang Qing'er's hand and fell asleep.

There is still half a month to be admitted to the results of the children's examination before they can be listed, if you want to say that you are not worried that it is fake, I want to ask them how they did in the exam, but it is difficult to say, so I can only endure it all the time.

On the day, Tang Qing'er washed a few apples and sent them to her mother, and when she walked to the door, she heard her father say to her mother: "Today I am going to the town and settle the money from selling chickens and ducks in the previous two days.

"I'm not worried about you going by yourself, what if something happens, you're a person who doesn't know how to be flexible,"

"What can it be? We all agreed before, how could it change, I just went to town and got the silver back,"

Li Shi slowly moved from the kang to the side of the kang, asked Tang Tiezhu to put on her shoes and said, "No, I'll go with you, otherwise I won't worry." ”

"What nonsense, you're about to give birth, stay at home honestly, if you really don't worry, I'll go to Master Zhou's stone with you, that kid has a flexible mind,"

Li hurriedly stopped: "You can't delay their studies because of this matter,"

Tang Qing'er, who was standing outside, listened for a long time and finally couldn't help but go in, and said: "Mother, you and your father don't worry about this matter anymore, I'll accompany my father,"

"No, I can't go, you can't go, you're already twelve years old, you can't show your head casually," Li objected without thinking.

"Mother, what's the matter, I don't go out every day, this time it's not just in time for you to give birth, I just went with my father, besides, my father didn't say he didn't agree, is it not my father?" She is his father's intimate little padded jacket, and her father still doesn't know that her heart is beating Xiaojiujiu.

Tang Tiezhu didn't think there was anything, his daughter had also accompanied him to the town before, this time because his mother-in-law was going to give birth to a baby, he couldn't go, Qing'er accompanied him, and he could also go out for a walk, what a good thing, so when Qing'er proposed to follow, he didn't object, but nodded straight.
