Chapter 13: Goat's Milk (1)
Deng Shi saw that there was a shadow on the kang head, and when he looked up, he saw Li Zhu standing at the door with a smile on the corner of his mouth, just as the rising sun was rising behind Li Zhu, and the orange sun shone on Li Zhu's body, only to see that his face was like jade, his eyes were soft and his lips were like warm jade, Deng's face was slightly red, and he said angrily: "What are you doing there?" What's going on out there? Still not coming in yet? Li Zhu entered the room and said brightly: "Mother is old and confused, Min'er, don't be nervous no matter what you hear, you still have me." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Deng Shi looked at Li Zhu, looked at the children on the kang, his heart was warm, nodded, and turned around to continue teaching the children to read. Li Binbin was pleasantly surprised to find that Deng's teaching style was quite similar to that of modern times. In front of Li Haixiao, she pointed to the words in the book word by word and read it through, read it with hyphenation, let the little finger read the book again, and then choose a few words to ask Li Hai, Li Tao, and Li Bo, and then let the little girl say his understanding of each sentence, and Deng corrected the mistakes and ambiguities one by one, and finally Deng read it again. And since Li Haixiao took turns to memorize the book and recite the interpretation again after Deng Shi's explanation. Li Binbin thought in amazement, genius, three unforgettable geniuses. Or is it because of the good genes of your parents, will you never forget it? When Li Hai was endorsing, since his father Li Zhu didn't have any surprised reaction, could it be that Li Zhu also remembered it? These can only be tried when you are older.
Li Zhu saw that there was nothing to do, so he took the rope out of the house to beat grass and milk goats. After all, Li Zhu bought sheep because of the sheep's ability to produce milk, so when he bought the sheep, he asked the sheep farmer to teach the method of milking, and Li Zhu looked at it more carefully, and he also milked it once under the guidance of the sheep farmer at that time. Although I heard Deng say that goat's milk smells fishy, the money has already been spent, so I have to see if Binbin is willing to eat it.
Li Zhu led the oxen to the river in the east of the village, let the cattle graze on their own, and he made a large bundle of fresh grass. The grass was stinging and painful on his back, and Li Zhu had to put the grass on the cow's back. Because it was not far from home, after a while, I went back to my room.
Li Zhu put some grass in front of the ox, then took a bunch of tender grass, put it in front of the sheep, teased the sheep, led the sheep to eat the grass placed on the ground, and after the sheep ate the grass, put a small bucket under the sheep house. Massage the lamb's room, rubbing left and right, and then from top to bottom. Then use the thumb and index finger to pinch the upper part of the sheep ** to prevent the milk from flowing back, and the other three fingers are closed in turn from top to bottom to express the milk. When expressing, the hand does not move, only the fingers open and close. Because it was the first time to milk alone, after Li Zhu milked the milk out, he couldn't grasp the direction, and the milk shot at himself, and his face was covered with goat's milk, with a fishy smell, and he made himself a "milkman" (the whole body was full of milk). Only the goat's milk that had just covered the bottom of the bucket was filled.
Li Zhuxing rushed to take a wooden bowl and carried goat's milk into the chamber. Deng, Li Hai, and Binbin all laughed when they saw Li Zhu's hair dripping with goat's milk and his face full of goat's milk. After Hamahama laughed, he was pleasantly surprised to find that laughter can really come from the bottom of his heart. In the previous life in the big family, the mother and daughter also calculated each other, interests first, how long has it been since I smiled so sincerely, the soil farmer, living in poverty but having a warm heart at home, is good! Li Zhu poured goat's milk from the bucket into the bowl, just a whole bowl. After handing it over to Deng, he went out of the room to scrub his body, change his clothes, and make breakfast.
Since Hamahama had just drunk it in the morning, the goat's milk was placed on the table. For breakfast, Li Zhu made sweet potato porridge, threw a few sweet potatoes under the stove, and boiled the chicken pieces that were divided yesterday with a simmer. Deng is doing confinement, and one person is equal to two people to make up, there are eleven chickens and eight laying hens at home after washing three banquets, so Li Zhu is now adding chicken to Deng's meals, and will make up. Every time the Deng family refused to eat alone, Li Zhu and Li Hai were given some gravy, and Li Zhu was reluctant to eat the meat, and the young were also very obedient, not eating meat, and remembering to let their mother eat more meat in the hope that their mother would get better soon.
Deng said: "We now have a total of eleven eggs and eight eggs. You take seven or eight and exchange them for some eggs. Borrow a nest chicken and come back to hatch the chicks. You go to the suitcase, get some silver taels, ask Uncle Zhang to help us buy some chickens back, hire a short-term worker, turn out an acre of land, let's plant some cabbage, radish, potatoes, and winter vegetables will be available. If you are in this situation now, don't go to the ground, and when you come to turn the ground for short-term workers, just ask the eldest brother to help you take a look. The eldest brother's family is half a big guy, you ask them if they want to plant our land. ”
Li Zhu thought about it and said, "Okay! That's a good feeling! ”
Li Zhu took two taels of silver, gave one or two five hundred wen to Uncle Zhang, and entrusted him to bring some chickens and old hens back when he went to the town next time he went to the market, and took five hundred wen to Aunt Zhang, asking her to help collect eggs, and borrowed one of Aunt Zhang's nest chickens. Go home and ask the Li family to teach, how to serve the chickens, call Li Yu, and go up the back mountain.
After Li Zhu left, Wang (Wang Haitang) and Wu (Wu Chunhua) went to the third room with their front and back feet. As soon as he entered, he saw Deng pointing to teach Li Hai to read and write, and Wang said with disdain: "Brother and sister, Li Hai is so young, it would be good to know his own name." If you lose your body, you can do a good job of confinement, and you can be obedient to so many and some of them. People don't know and think that our family treats the daughter-in-law who was born prematurely and is confined. Deng frowned after hearing this. Wu looked at Li Hai's brothers, and noticed that they saw that the number of pages in the "Three Character Classic" was lower than Li Qiyue's, and thought, could it be that Deng picked the number of pages to teach? Deng's father was a master of the Juren and the University Hall, and he may have his own set of methods. Let Li Qi analyze and learn in the future. Wu Shi accosted him on the side: "Min'er, your second uncle has been teaching books for seven years, and there has never been such a young enlightened person, you teach them now, but it will work." Deng said: "Sister-in-law, I don't have nothing to do, and I can't be idle." Zhu still has some things to do, I look at this little one, and I can save him some trouble. Wu nodded after hearing this.
Wang looked at Deng's kang table, saw a big bowl of goat's milk, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he faked a cough, and said, "Cough, brother and sister, do you have tea here?" You see that after half a day's work, there is no saliva when you are thirsty. After hearing this, Hamahama frowned his little eyebrows, his mother is in confinement, and she can't get off the ground, it's not all obvious.
Deng said: "Sister-in-law Tang, you see that I am in confinement, and it is not pleasant to go to the ground, and my family, you can deal with yourself." After hearing this, Wang said happily: "Okay." Wang Shi responded, while reaching out to pick up the goat's milk placed on the kang table and said, "You see that there is no ready-made here, let me drink this." Then, as if someone was about to rob him, he took a big gulp. Deng, Li Hai, and Binbin didn't react so quickly, and looked at Wang dumbfounded.
