Chapter 107: Qing'er in Leisure
Since Xue Qianxun gave her books about crops, Tang Qing'er has been reading at home every day in addition to helping her mother cook and take her younger brother.
Li went to his daughter's room with the taro in his arms, and seeing that his daughter was so serious, he inadvertently asked Tang Qing'er: "Why do you like to read books about planting so much?" ”
Tang Qing'er didn't raise her head and said: "Make a fortune and become well-off, I want to take our family on the well-off road, well, the well-off road refers to Kangping Avenue." ”
"You...... Making money is a matter for me and your father, what do you care about? ”
Tang Qing'er finally raised her head out of the book and said, "Mother, then what do you say I am doing at home all day?" ”
"You are not young, you should be married at this age, but my mother is reluctant to marry you early, take advantage of the fact that you learn more about embroidery now, at least in the future, get married, and make accessories such as intimate clothes for your father-in-law."
"Mother, if I can make money, I can go to the embroidery room and ask the embroidery lady to do these embroidery things," Tang Qing'er put the book in her hand, and replied to her mother's question.
As the girl gets older and older, she has more and more ideas in her heart, and sometimes what Li says to her will be unconsciously bypassed by her, just like now, Li feels that her daughter's words are very reasonable, but she said: "How can a woman get married, the clothes that are close to her husband should be made for others, and she is not afraid of people laughing when she says it." ”
Tang Qing'er wanted to refute her mother, and thought that her mother was usually very open-minded to the children in the family, and she was still very stubborn about some ancient traditional thoughts, so she no longer discussed this topic with her mother, and changed the topic: "Mother, isn't Brother Qiu of my uncle's family about to get married, don't you go to your grandmother's house to help?" ”
"Do you think this girl thinks of my inkblot and wants me to stay at your grandmother's house, so that you can be lawless at home and no one cares" Speaking of this, Li suddenly forgot the original intention of talking to his daughter, and patted her on the back.
Jiao'er and Man'er saw this scene in the house, they both pursed their lips and snickered, Jiao'er smiled and squeezed her eyebrows and said to Man'er: "See, our family can cure the eldest sister with my mother, and no one else can't," the latter sentence did not tell her that the eldest sister's revenge psychology is very strong, if the eldest sister is angry with her mother, she will find her younger siblings to be angry, if anyone does not go well to provoke her, hum, there will be no good fruit to eat.
Feng Man is still young, where do you understand this, what Sister Jiao'er said, she nodded, in fact, she didn't hear what she was saying in her ears at all, in her heart, the eldest sister has always been gentle and kind.
Tang Qing'er knew in her heart that her mother had not gone to her grandmother's house to help, there were many children in the family, and she was afraid that Tang Qing'er would not be able to take care of her alone, so she put down the book in her hand and said: "Mother, I know that you are worried about your uncle's house, and I don't worry that we didn't go there, in fact, there is really nothing at home, I just take care of my father and younger siblings at home, you don't know how to do it, the dishes I cook in our house are better than yours." "Even if her mother goes to her grandmother's house for a few days, her siblings won't say anything, what if she goes? Maybe.......
Taro may have been disturbed by the sound of her mother and eldest sister talking, arched in her mother's arms, and slept a little unsteadily, so Li shook it gently, watching him pout and lick the side of his mouth with his tongue from time to time.
Li Shi looked at his youngest son, thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Then I will take taro to your grandmother's house to help for a few days, your father is working in the field, and you help clean up the house and cook for the younger siblings," I wanted to take Jiao'er and Man'er together, but after thinking about the eldest brother's family to do a happy event, the baby went to so much, and he was busy chattering if he didn't help.
Tang Qing'er nodded and agreed, her mother is not at home, so wouldn't she be more free at home, quite like the tiger is not at home and the monkey is the king, this feels so cool!
Li is also a cheerful person, saying that he wants to go to his mother's house, so he began to pack his clothes, and when the head of the family came back, he asked him to lead the ox cart to send them to Lijia Village.
Maybe he was not at ease, Li Shi told him again when he left: "At night, you must urge your three younger brothers to read, and let them rest early, and your two younger sisters sleep with you, remember to help them cover the quilt at night, and there is still some meat in the kitchen, you can cook it for them to eat tomorrow night, and you, if a strange man comes to our house, if your father is not there, you must not open the door and let him in, and ......"
Tang Tiezhu couldn't help but laugh and said: "How old is the girl, you will assign her so much work,"
Tang Qing'er wished that her mother would go to her grandmother's house quickly, so that no one would care about her anymore, so she said: "Dad, there is not much work at all, you still don't know what your daughter can do?" As she spoke, she craned her neck and showed a disapprehensive look, stretching her arms to show that she was very energetic.
After her mother left, Tang Qing'er seemed to run around the yard for a short time, she really looked like a child, which shows how strictly her mother has been controlling her since Tang Qing'er got older and older.
Tang Qing'er's least favorite thing is to get up early, because the three younger brothers have to go to the school when they are young, she has to get up early to cook for them, if they go to the school hungry, the three of them will kill themselves in an instant with pitiful eyes.
On the day of the day, Tang Qing'er got up very early, but not as early as her father, her father had already finished feeding the chicken food in the yard, was chopping firewood, saw the sleepy girl, and said with a smile: "Still sleepy?" Girl. ”
Tang Qing'er smiled dryly, went to the well to fetch water to wash her face, the slightly cold water stimulated her spirits, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to make a fire to cook.
Li is not at home, Tang Qing'er came to breakfast according to his own ideas, and made a different kind of breakfast, Jiao'er and Man'er got up late almost every day, and ate breakfast together with everyone, the three male babies made an appointment, and after washing, they set up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and waited for the eldest sister's meal.
Tang Qing'er popped up from the kitchen and said to her father who was chopping wood in the yard: "Dad, it's time to eat, you wash your hands quickly, I'm going to start serving the food when you're done washing your hands." ”
It's really a means to eat people with a short mouth, this woman is not at home, so he began to listen to his daughter's words, but he is happy, who let him have a smart and capable girl, nodded with a smile and said okay.
Tang Qing'er first brought the mixed radish strips to the table, and then served a bowl of wild vegetable porridge to everyone, everyone looked at the meal on the table, there was no food that could withstand hunger, and looked at her dryly, she smiled like a fox and said: "You look at each other's expressions, as if I am abusing you." ”
Tang Liang: "It is. ”
Tang Yang: "......." ”
Feng Xiao simply didn't say anything and looked down at the bowl.
Tang Tiezhu saw that his sons were not cheering, so he first took a sip of porridge.
Tang Qing'er said angrily: "It's better to be a father, you are all white-eyed wolves," and after that, she turned around and went to the kitchen to bring a plate of yellow cakes and put them on the table.
Tang Liang hadn't eaten it, it would be delicious to see the color, so he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and put one on it, but Tang Qing'er slapped it away, pouted and said, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”
Tang Qing'er glanced at him, picked up chopsticks and clipped a piece to her father, and said to his father, "Daddy, you can taste it first."
Where did Tang Tiezhu dare not, even if it was not delicious, he would swallow it hard, put the cake that his daughter gave him into his mouth with chopsticks, and chewed it slowly: "Well, yes, the soft one is delicious, tender but not greasy, girl, what are you doing, it's delicious!" ”
"Dad, this is called a tortilla,"
Tang Qing'er is so beautiful in her heart, she is making corn tortillas today, but it took a long time, just preparing the materials took a long time, and the procedure was also very troublesome, first mix flour and corn flour and add eggs and green onions, then add salt and pepper and gently stir evenly, pour oil into a pan and heat it, pour it into batter and spread it into a thin cake, fry it over medium-low heat until one side is set, and then turn it over, fry until the golden cake is cooked on both sides, and cut it into pieces when eating.
Except for Tang Tiezhu who ate a piece, everyone else looked at the eldest sister with greedy eyes, hoping that her old man would be kind and reward them with a few corn tortillas, Tang Qing'er turned her head, pretended not to see their pitiful eyes, picked up a piece of corn tortillas, and began to eat.
Tang Liang couldn't help it, and said with a red face: "Eldest sister, I'm wrong, you let me eat one and taste it,"
Although Tang Yang didn't speak, the eyes of the eldest sister were the same as Tang Liang, not to mention Feng Xiao, she directly took the bowl and brought it to Tang Qing'er, the meaning was self-evident.
Tang Qing'er still wanted to take a gesture, but when she saw her father frowning, she seemed to disagree, so she stopped teasing them, and sandwiched a piece of corn tortilla in one of their bowls.
After breakfast, the men of the Tang family went to work in the field, went to school in the school, Tang Qinger cleaned up the kitchen and went to her house to see the two young ladies in the house, seeing that they were still sleeping, so they took the book to the small table outside to read the book.
Sitting on the chair, Tang Qinger poured herself a cup of chrysanthemum tea and drank it lightly, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, as well as the poultry that were moving freely, and then realized Tao Yuanming's sentence: "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan", leisurely picking chrysanthemums under the fence, looking up is the endless mountains, it is so comfortable, so extraordinary, what kind of wanton life is this.
If it weren't for the knock on the door outside the courtyard, she was still in a trance, few people came from home during this time period, could it be that her father forgot to take something, she quickly ran to the gate of the courtyard, and felt that it was wrong after opening the door directly, if it was her father, he would have called her name outside a long time ago, so who is this person outside the courtyard?
Could it be......
Sure enough, as Tang Qing'er expected, it was Xue Qianxun outside the courtyard gate, he vaguely saw Tang Qing'er's figure through the crack in the door, and saw that she didn't open the door for himself for a long time, so he knocked patiently again.
Tang Qing'er saw that Xue Qianxun seemed to have made up his mind, and kept knocking like this without opening the door, and couldn't help but say to him in the courtyard: "I'm really sorry Xue Gongzi, the father and daughter in the family are out of the house, and it is inconvenient to open the door for you,"
Xue Qianxun deliberately chose to come over in the morning, thinking that Tang Qing'er's father and mother were at home, but he thought that he still pounced, and his heart turned a corner, and he said: "That's the case, I found a book of Qi Min Yao Shu a few days ago, which is better and more detailed than the agricultural books that were introduced to you some time ago, alas, since it is inconvenient for you to meet outsiders today, I think it is better to come over and give it to you next time!" He said something that only the two of them could hear, and the next delivery would probably be two months away.
Tang Qing'er had already finished reading several agricultural books, and now he continued to read them just to study, and when he heard that Xue Qianxun had found a new agricultural book, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Xue Gongzi, do you think it's good, you hand over the book through the crack in the door,"
Just thought about it, it was better for Tang Qing'er's father and mother not to be at home, so that she would have the opportunity to be alone with Tang Qing'er, and said in embarrassment: "There are always people in the village walking around at your door, if I hand you a book through the crack in the door, others may not say something when they see it, I don't care, but you are your daughter's family, saying it is not ruining your reputation, I will never do this,"
"Then you wait for no one on the side of the road to hand it to me,"
Xue Qianxun shook his fan and said, "No, no,"
Tang Qing'er saw Xue Qianxun's rogue look, and he wanted to get the agricultural book very much, so after weighing it, he took off the door bolt without arguing, opened the door and said face to face: "Xue Gongzi come in quickly,"
Xue Qianxun and Sanshun quickly entered the courtyard, Tang Qing'er hurriedly closed the door, and when he was about to close the door, he hurriedly glanced at whether anyone outside had seen it.
Xue Qianxun remembered that there were no tables and chairs in the courtyard of the Tang family last time, but now there are tables and chairs in the middle of the courtyard, not to mention, there are agricultural books, teacups and teapots on the table, and chrysanthemums are soaked in the teacups.
"Sister Qing'er is so leisurely, I am so envious." The frivolous tone made Sanshun, who was standing behind him, help but hold his forehead, how could the young master change his tone as soon as he met the Qing'er girl, is this still the wise, decisive, and unsmiling young master?
