Chapter 24 Countermeasures
The first update
"Quarrel, quarrel after eating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I have to heat it again when the rice is cold, and it costs firewood! Li Ping was also annoyed, she didn't slap the table, knocked on the table with a bowl and shouted. Li Ping really doesn't want to calm things down, but it's really cold, if she doesn't eat, she has to be cold, and when it's cold, it's not that she is going to heat up, will these men help her?
Everyone saw that she was angry, and they all stopped talking, and ate all kinds of dishes. Regardless of the atmosphere, the meal is quite fragrant. Zeng Qing didn't have a special convoy like Li Bin to send them, and someone took care of them on the way. They came by stagecoach all the way, and it can't be said that they are sleeping in the open air, but it is not much better. It doesn't matter if you eat or not, if you are hungry, you can nibble on a few mouthfuls of dry food and ask someone for hot water.
Now there are hot meals, hot dishes, and hot soup, which is really a long-lost happiness for the Zeng family father and son. Especially the soup, they all drank a lot.
Zeng Fan saw his father and younger brother like this, he softened his heart again, this is his father, his younger brother, he looked at Li Ping with a little embarrassment, at this time they hadn't discussed, of course he knew that if he left his two younger brothers behind, how heavy Li Ping's burden was, she embroidered every day, the most eye-catching, and couldn't help thinking, 'Does grandfather really want to drag Li Ping to death?' ’
Brother Hao was also angry, he knew that it was not a problem for Li Ping to feed them, but what was he angry about, why did the Zeng family die?
Li Ping didn't have the strength to think, she just lowered her head and ate herself. She only knows that she has to take them even if she doesn't take them now, and she will have to take them in the future. It's better to pick it up now. For this little thing, it hurt the feelings of the husband and wife, and offended the brother. Looking back, a hundred times better for them is useless.
Besides, in the past few years, she and Zeng Quan have gotten along with them, and the two Zeng Quan brothers have been a little selfish, but they are still limited and are people who know what is good or bad. She really didn't mind letting them live here, but there were some things that had to be clarified first.
Finally, under everyone's thoughts, the meal was finished, even if it was a big bowl of vegetables and soup, they were all swept away, Li Ping didn't like leftovers originally, so she was quite satisfied. Let Lilac take the bowl, think about it, and decide to say something useful.
"Dad, second uncle, third uncle left nothing, it's just a matter of more pairs of chopsticks, it's easy to send the museum, there should be a museum around. However, if you want to enter Yuelu Academy, you may not be able to. Brother Hao went to the museum, it was the Lord of Futai who was asked by Master Chen, even so, Brother Hao was only borrowing, if he couldn't pass the exam in the future, people would not accept him. ”
"I send it to the museum for a hundred taels a year." Brother Hao said coldly.
"......" Zeng Qing originally wanted Li Ping to go to Chen Fuxing to talk and bring Zeng Quan and Zeng Yi, but Brother Hao's sentence successfully blocked his mouth. The Chen family is looking at the face of the Li family, and they can bring Zeng Quan, but they have to pay for the money to send the museum themselves, two hundred taels a year, which is absolutely impossible for the Zeng family. However, if it weren't for Yuelu Academy, they would have come all the way here, what would it be.
"Mainly, Brother Hao'er's household registration was originally in the provincial capital, and he was going to take the exam in the provincial capital. That's why Master Chen asked him to simply come to the provincial capital to borrow first, and we happened to take care of it. The second brother and the third brother are going back to their hometown to take the exam. Zeng Fan pursed his lips, and didn't say anything later, they were actually easy to pass the provincial capital in the county exam. So he couldn't figure out how his grandfather and father could take it for granted that as long as they sent Zeng Quan and them, they would be able to enter Yuelu Academy, and they would be able to go all the way from then on.
"Didn't you read it in the first place?" Zeng Qing was a little annoyed and angry, thinking that I can't say others, you are my son, I can naturally say you.
"I lived in Master Liu's house at the beginning, and I didn't go to the museum, but I just read in the master's study every day, waiting for the master to come back and give me homework." Zeng Fan didn't feel good about giving his father a face, and patiently explained to his father.
Zeng Qing actually knew it, but his face was even more ugly, thinking that this was his son not giving himself face, and he smashed it with a cup.
Li Ping pulled her husband away, and then looked at her small porcelain tea bowl, which was her own dowry, and it was a little painful.
"Dad, let the second uncle stay with them, really, I have no opinion, go back and let people find the museum, they read first. Don't drop things, it's expensive. Li Ping sighed lightly.
Zeng Qing really can't advance or retreat now, he lost his temper, and his daughter-in-law has already said that she can leave two brothers-in-law, and she doesn't mind. But let him stop dropping things, and said that it was very expensive, is this to make himself pay? All of a sudden, his face turned red.
In the evening, the duck was still burned. Li Ping liked to eat the kind of stewed duck in the south in her previous life, but it has also been seen over the years that none of these people are willing to follow her taste, so she will forget it. Originally, it was said that only a few of them could burn a whole duck to a crisp, and they could eat a round belly without other dishes. But there are too many people, and the ducks can't do that.
In the evening, a large bowl of duck blood vermicelli was burned; The duck legs and wings were chopped into pieces, and the potatoes were braised together, which was also a big bowl; The duck went to the head and tail, and boiled into a white soup with the duck rack, accompanied by water tofu and Chinese cabbage, which is also a big bowl. Two more vegetarian dishes were fried, the same as at noon, that is, four dishes and one soup.
Li Ping still has the remaining ingredients, such as the duck breast sliced, cut with the skin, and plated with condiments, ready to cook the next day; The duck shelf soup is boiled alone, and when the soup is just cooked, some are taken out, but the raw materials of the original soup are still there, and it can also be used to cook noodles for breakfast tomorrow morning.
In the evening, everyone knew that they were going to eat duck, but they were not surprised to see a table of dishes. Everyone didn't have anything to say at this time, and they ate honestly.
Li Ping moved her embroidery frame to her bedroom, lit the lamp, and began to embroider. Lilac followed in and did a little needlework on the side. However, she picked up Li Ping's cloth and made some small toys for her younger brother.
"Young grandma, how many days does the master want to stay?"
"Who knows, don't mess with him, stay away." Li Ping was also helpless, she originally wanted to do it slowly, but now it seems that she can't slow down, so many people have eaten just now, and they are all edible, even if you don't have meat and vegetables every day, you have to really burn money.
Besides, she doesn't like vegan tables. Everyone thinks that no meat can save money, but in fact, it is not. Without meat, you won't feel full when you eat it. Eat some meat, they will eat less and eat other dishes, and they will not feel hungry halfway, and they will have to eat snacks. Overall, it's about the same, it's better to let them eat better.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh softly again, she really felt a little pressured to feed four and a half children. Thinking of this, she started faster, Lilac didn't dare to make a sound, and sat silently in the back, accompanying, until Zeng Fan came in tiredly. Seeing his wife lying in front of the embroidery frame, trying to embroider, I felt distressed again.
On weekdays, at night, she will practice calligraphy, by his side, listen to him read, the couple can be regarded as a moment of leisure, and now, the wife has to work at night, and she feels even more guilty.
"Break." Zeng Fan saw that when she was about to change the line, he hurriedly stopped.
"Oh, are we done?" Li Ping has not communicated with Zeng Fan, but her position has been clearly expressed, she believes that Zeng Fan knows her bottom line and will not agree to all kinds of unreasonable demands of the Zeng family.
