After shopping for a day, Qiu Chen didn't spend a penny except for customizing a set of red gold flower jewelry and a set of pearl jewelry, not that she didn't bring enough silver, nor that there were no good shops on the street, but when she came out of the gold and silver shop, she faced the toy clothes on the street to eat, and suddenly found that she didn't know what Lu Dao Man'er liked...... It seems that when the little girl is at home, whatever she cooks, the little girl will shout loudly that it is delicious; What toys to buy and what clothes to make, the little girl has always accepted it with a smile and a smile...... In her impression, the chubby little girl is not picky about food or clothing, and she is particularly easy to feed, but now standing on the bustling street, she suddenly found that it was not that the little girl did not pick, but that she had been busy and careless, ignoring the subtle emotional changes of the little girl, and naturally, she did not know the preferences of the little girl.

It is said that she knows her daughter Mo Ruo's mother, but she, who is a mother, doesn't know what her daughter likes...... Is there no mother like her in the world?

Or, although she occupies Begonia's body and becomes Fu'er Man'er's mother, she still doesn't have the heart and care that a mother should have? Don't have that natural instinct to love children wholeheartedly?

Qing Xing was also immersed in the golden and shiny fine jewelry and did not come back to her senses, almost instinctively followed behind Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen stopped, she also subconsciously stopped, but, in a moment, she noticed that Qiu Chen was wrong, what is wrong with Mrs. Why did you stand on the street in a daze, saying that you were looking at the people on the road, and that gaze obviously didn't fall on anyone......

Frightened in her heart, Qingxing called tentatively: "Mrs...... Wife? ”

"Hmm......" Qiu Chen came back to his senses in response, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Qingxing's concerned face, blinked, and burst into a smile, "I'm thinking about where to go next, but I think I'm a little dazed, that girl has been gone for a year, and I don't know what Lu Dao likes...... Let's go, let's go home. ”

Qingxing blinked, looked back at Yufeng, and the two exchanged glances and hurriedly followed. I don't understand how my wife doesn't know what Miss Lu Dao likes...... People don't like what they like all the time, don't they like it after a year?

However, Qingxing has a lively and cheerful personality, and she is also a little arrogant, although she has doubts in her heart, she will not drill the horns, Mrs., naturally there are things they don't understand, she doesn't have to bother, follow his wife, and do things according to his wife's instructions. And Yufeng is much more calm and introverted, even if she has doubts in her heart, she will not ask it out at this time.

Back at home, Qiu Chen has been a little sullen, not only is he no longer excited and happy after getting the news in the morning, but even his usual cheerfulness is gone. Nor did he need to be served, but sat alone in the room, or read or write......

The family was a little confused, Yufeng and Qingxing were even more puzzled, the wife was still full of joy when she went out, and she didn't meet anyone or anything when she went out, why did she suddenly become depressed?

Qingxing avoided Qiu Chen and secretly asked Yufeng: "What happened to my wife in the past few days?" Is there something on your mind? "She just arrived last night, and Yufeng has been following and serving her for the past few days.

Yufeng frowned slightly and thought about it, shook her head and said, "It's nothing...... Just yesterday, the eldest girl of the Tang family came to play for most of the day, and went to Guofu again in the afternoon...... But yesterday, this morning, Mrs. obviously didn't ...... like this."

The two girls were stunned for a long time, and no one understood what was going on, so they had to put it aside for the time being. Yufeng whispered: "Let's serve with all our hearts, just don't leave people around your wife!" ”

Qingxing couldn't think of any other way, so she had to agree to discuss the next division of labor with Yufeng, ensuring that one of the two would follow Qiu Chen's side closely, even if she was not allowed to enter the house, she would wait at the door.

Qiu Chen himself also sensed that something was wrong, silently read the book back, and wrote a few big characters, but because he couldn't calm down, he couldn't read the words at all, and it was a mess and ugly. Throwing a few pieces of paper into the garbage basket, Qiu Chen let out a long breath, got up and walked out.

How did she get into the horns? She is not the original begonia, in essence, she is not Fu'er Man'er's mother, but she is trying to do it, whether it is from the emotional point of view, or her own sense of responsibility and mission, she is trying her best to love and care for the two children...... When did she become so hypocritical?!

Shaking his head with a smile, he opened the door curtain and walked out, Qingxing suddenly stood up from the small bench outside the door: "Madam, if there is anything you ask, just ......"

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows, his eyes keenly caught the careful probing gaze of this girl on her face, and couldn't help laughing: "It's nothing...... Oh, let's go, I haven't seen the greens you brought yesterday, let's go to the kitchen and have a look! ”

Qing Xing blinked, and her face burst with a thick layer of joy. My wife seems to be back to normal!

"Yes!" Qing Xing happily responded, accompanied Qiu Chen to go out, and said with a smile while opening the curtain of the door one step in advance, "Madam, what I brought yesterday was the first vegetable in our greenhouse, and it was picked by the young master and a few cousins, and they said that they brought it over for Mrs. to taste." ”

Qiu Chen was full of joy and moved when he heard this. Although she did not do enough, not perfectly, the children did genuinely love her...... This feeling of being recognized, this kind of warm family care can be said to be at the right time, which made Qiu Chen's confusion and confusion subside in an instant.

No matter what caused her to come to this strange era, made her the children's mother, aunt, and a member of this big family, then she is their mother, aunt, and relatives.

Qiu Chen personally participated in planting vegetables at the beginning, and almost all the vegetables in this era were planted by her. Because of the short time, vegetables with long growth cycles such as beans and eggplants have not yet set fruit or are not ripe, and most of them are greens, spinach, coriander, bok choy, rape, celery, ...... There are also four or five tender cucumbers that look a little crooked, and the top of the cucumber is still with tender yellow flowers, which makes people know at a glance that they must be in a hurry, and the gherkins have not yet grown and have been picked off by the children anxiously...... What is more evident is the children's strong love for her.

At this time, you can still have such tender and tender green vegetables to eat, which is much more open than those cabbage radishes or meat every day.

After Qiu Chen saw it, he immediately thought of a particularly suitable way to eat, shabu shabu! Use the clear soup prepared at home as the bottom of the pot, and then only blanch the greens to eat, use chopsticks to pick up a few greens and dip them in the boiling pot twice, dip them in a little seasoning, which can not only maintain the freshness and nutrition of the greens to the greatest extent, but also be refreshing and appetizing, greasy and delicious without burden, and the freshness and fragrance of the soup base are guaranteed...... Hmm, just thinking about it makes people drool.

instructed the kitchen to prepare lunch, Qiu Chen took another basket and filled it with some fresh vegetables, and sent someone to send it to the old man Yang and his second sister-in-law from the Yang family's shop. Now, the Yang family is having a better life, eating meat is no longer rare, but it is rare to eat green vegetables in this season, and no one will refuse this fresh delicacy.

For lunch, Qiu Chen ate a meal of green vegetables by himself, and added a small lock of hand-rolled noodles to the soup at the end, which was really filling and delicious, and the food was comfortable and hearty.

After eating a delicious meal of shabu-shabu, Qiu Chen no longer had the slightest sense of belonging and dazedness in his heart, he was in a good mood, and his emotions were also high. After taking a break for half an hour, Qiu Chen got up and went to the back garden with great interest.

The Lin family house in Anyang City is not too much, but the backyard is quite spacious, in addition to building a small playground for children to exercise part, there are several acres of land idle, there are two Kui two people growing vegetables in summer and autumn, most of the vegetables are harvested at this time, and the remaining sporadic vegetable furrows, that is, several perennial vegetables, such as leeks, such as spinach overwintering and the like. It's a waste to leave acres of land there so empty...... If you also install two glass greenhouses here, it will be convenient for you to eat at home, and the excess can also add some income to Erkui's family.

If you build a greenhouse and still hand it over to Erkui's family to take care of, you won't give them extra monthly money, and let them dispose of the excess that they eat at home, and they should be able to earn a few taels of silver in winter.

As soon as he said to do it, Qiu Chen happily took a few family members to the backyard to measure the land, and then sent someone to the carpentry shop to find a carpenter to see the site. Her garden still has to be vacated in summer and autumn to grow vegetables, so that the greenhouse should be easy to disassemble and assemble like Liu Jiaao, but it must also be able to resist the invasion of some sudden disasters...... Anyang City, located in the north, is still often windy in winter, and it can't be blown down by a gust of wind.

There are design drawings, there are specific sizes, and the wood does not need to be expensive, and the master carpenter readily agreed after reading it, saying that it can be built in five or six days at most. Qiu Chen discussed with the carpenter the cost of materials and labor, so he turned back and began to write a letter to Liu Jiaao, asking Jialiang to take two elementary school apprentices to put down the work at hand and fire a batch of flat glass first.

Qiu Chen, who was looking for a job for himself, was busy and full again, and his expression was happy and cheerful.

In the evening, the Yun family caravan sent a few baskets of fish, shrimp and seafood. No matter how cold it is, you can't go to the sea, and this batch of seafood is the last batch before the arrival of winter.

Qiu Chen personally met with the little steward of the Yun family's caravan and asked the fishermen on the other side of the sea shop that their lives had improved a lot because of the export channels of dried fish, salted fish and other products. After solving the problem of food and clothing, some of them have replaced their previous small sampans with large boats that can withstand the strength of the waves and winds, so that they can go farther into the sea to fish and fish in the coming year, and there will be better and more harvests, so that they can have a better life.

Qiu Chen asked carefully, including how the old people and children in the fishing village were, fortunately, this little steward is specially running this line, and has more contact with those fishermen, and he has to go to the fishing village several times a year, so he has a clear understanding of the situation over there, and the answer is also very detailed, Qiu Chen is very relieved and satisfied when he hears it, and rewards the little steward with two taels of silver, and looks at him happily thanked the reward and retreated.

I personally went to the kitchen to see a few baskets of seafood, there are fresh yellow croaker, carp, barracuda, sea caught prawns, and some sea urchins, starfish, sea cucumbers, eight belts, scallops, shrimp and other small seafood, Qiu Chen took the basket in turn, only a small part was kept, most of them were handed over to Zeng Daniu, and the horse was sent back to Liujiaao.

For dinner in the evening, green vegetables are not important anymore, Qiu Chen looked at the Shunzi family with Xiaoxi and the two cooks, and began to cook seafood in the same way. Remove part of the shell of the sea urchin and steam it with eggs; The starfish is directly steamed in the basket, after steaming, the meat is peeled out, the minced pork fat is added, the chicken breast is pureed, and a small amount of ginger juice is added to season to remove the fishiness, and it is made into meatballs, the taste is more delicious and thick than the crab roe lion's head, and it is made into a stuffing package chaos bag dumplings and xiaolongbao, which are also delicious and delicious; Sea cucumber is dried and dried and used later as a dried product; Eight strips are cooked, or directly cut into sections for cool seasoning, or put leeks in sections and stir-fried. As for the scallops, they are delicious when they are steamed and eaten directly with small ingredients, and they can also be made into soup and stir-fried...... Pipi shrimp can be steamed directly, the easiest way to retain the purest deliciousness.

The fish was only made into a steamed yellow flower, and as for the carp and barracuda, they were all cultivated by Qiu Chen with salt, and they could be kept fresh for two or three days outdoors, and it was not too late to eat them slowly. The shrimp are all cooked, except for some of them are served directly as brine prawns, and most of the rest are put into bamboo baskets to dry, and after a few days, they become dried shrimps, which are used to make soup, improve freshness, and make stuffing in winter, which are very delicious.

She cleaned up here, so she sent someone to the Guo Mansion to summon the news, and asked Lin Xu to bring the eldest master of the Guo family and the fourth young master of the Guo family over for dinner. A meal of fresh and refreshing scalded vegetables and a variety of delicious and delicious seafood, Qiu Chen made people blanch sorghum red wine, the old and young ate and drank happily, until the end of the time, they were full of food and drink, and the Guo family Xiaosi took the old man Guo who had some wine to say goodbye and went back to the Guo family.

Chen took the girl and her mother-in-law to the lakeside pavilion to clean up and tidy up for a day, and then cleaned it up. Today's lakeside pavilion is no longer open on all sides when Qiu Chen entertained guests, and floor-to-ceiling doors are installed on all sides, which are closed in winter to effectively block the cold wind and cold air outside; In the summer, the doors can be left wide open, and the wind from all directions will pass through the hall without hindrance, and it will become cool and pleasant. Moreover, there is a one-and-a-half-meter-high mezzanine layer from the bottom of the lake pavilion to the water surface, and a charcoal basin is placed in the interlayer.

The windows were bright and clean, the curtains were dust-free, and Chen took the maid to clean up and arrange the furniture and curtains, but it only took a day. Qiu Chen followed Chen's to the lake early in the morning of the second day, pushed open the door of the top of the sky, a warm breath came to the face, people will not feel troubled, this hot air has neither a strong fat powder fragrance, nor the smell of water rot and damp mildew that is generally found in waterside buildings, a faint fruity fragrance, from the fruit baskets placed on the shelves, which is refreshing, refreshing, and relaxed, and soothing and relaxed, involuntarily relaxed and cheerful.

The natural gas at home was out of order, and I found a gas company to repair it, and I was busy for most of the afternoon...... It's late, sorry!
