Yan's mother told her three children to stay at home, she went to buy some vegetables and came back, the house was full of vegetarian dishes, and she was going to buy some meat and vegetables to come back. Yang Shaohua walked home and said to Zhou Hongxia: "Let's go to Yan's house for dinner, you prepare some gifts to go over, and when the children go to school in the future, you are bored at home alone, you can also go to Mrs. Yan to chat." And I think the air and tea in their house are more smelly and delicious, and it may have the same effect as the tea you drank before. ”

He didn't say that he had just looked at the flowers and plants planted in the yard, and in addition to the common tea trees, jasmine and the like, there were many herbs that he didn't know. There should be the herbs with the effect that Yan Jing said before, so it is good for the body to let his wife and children go to their house more.

Zhou Hongxia heard the words and said: "Alas, if only I had such a smart and caring daughter." ”

Yang Shaohua said: "If you want to give birth, you can still have another one, and now your body is fine." ”

When Zhou Hongxia heard this, she blushed and said: "What do you think, you are so old, I can't even keep a busy Jinli, if I give birth to a son, it won't be troublesome." She also sighed that she really didn't want to have another life. Yang Shaohua doesn't care, it's okay to have another one, or it's okay not to give birth.

Yan's mother came back soon, the vegetable market was not very far away, Yan Jing went to the kitchen to help Yan's mother pick vegetables, and Yang Jinli played with Yan Lin in the living room. Not long after, the Yang family and the husband and wife also came over, Yan's mother hurriedly came out to say hello, let Yan Jing make tea, greet everyone, she went into the kitchen to prepare meals, Zhou Hongxia was also going to help, but was pushed out by Yan's mother.

Yan Jing also said: "Auntie came to my house for dinner, how can I ask you to do it, you just sit, or ask Jinli to take you to visit, he is very familiar, I will help my mother pick vegetables." Then let Yang Jinli take the Yang family and his wife to visit. Yan Lin also followed.

Yang Shaohua took a casual look in the house, he mainly studied those flowers and plants in the open space of the yard, Zhou Hongxia originally liked to plant flowers and plants, so she was also very interested in watching them, and asked Yanlin: "Xiaolin, are these all planted by you~ mother?" Looks so good. "I deliberately said that it was planted by Yan's mother. Most people feel the same way.

Yan Lin said: "No, these are all planted by my sister, and my mother planted them in the backyard, so she grows vegetables, and my sister likes these flowers and plants." There are still grapes over there, and my sister said that there will be grapes to eat at this time next year. ”

The Yang family and his wife were not too surprised, they all knew that these words were not going to sue the sù family, so they didn't talk much, Yang Shaohua said: "I haven't seen these kinds of grasses, your sister still likes to grow weeds." ”

Yang Jinli said: "I also thought it was a weed, but Yan Jing said that it was all herbs, but I don't know what herbs it was, she said that she dug it back when she smelled medicine, but I didn't smell it." ”

The husband and wife of the Yang family squatted down and studied it, except for the look, verdant and beautiful, nothing special, close to smell these kinds of grass, although the smell still makes people can't smell it, but close to them can still make people feel refreshed. I think that when they grow up, if they are multiplying a few more, see if they can ask for a few and grow them themselves.

I went to the backyard to take a look, and found that the vegetables were also very watery, and the husband and wife both felt that in the future, let Jinli come here to walk around more, and they would also come here to walk around more, if someone around here sells the house again, we can be neighbors or something.

Yan Jing didn't know what the couple thought, if she knew, she would definitely advise: Don't think so much, Yan Jing doesn't plan to settle here for a long time.

After eating, everyone sat at the coffee table in the living room and chatted, basically the two women talked a lot, Yang Shaohua lay down and tasted tea without speaking, Yan Jing added water to him several times on the side, Yan's mother and Zhou Hongxia were both from Qiao'an Township, they didn't know each other before, and now the two families have eaten and are considered familiar, so they are chatting in their hometown, and it seems that the two are chatting quite speculatively.

Yan's mother doesn't know words, Zhou Hongxia has gone to elementary school, and she knows some words, but not much. The two are also on the same level. Yan Jing thought that now that Yan's mother has improved her body, her spirit is better, and her head is a lot more flexible, anyway, she has nothing to do at home except to take their siblings. Yan Jing plans to teach Yan's mother to recognize some words, no need to learn others, as long as she can know some words, she can also read books by herself in the future to pass the time.

When the Yang family left and cleaned up the house, Yan Jing sat down next to Yan's mother, who was playing sweaters, and said, "Mom, I'll teach you how to read." ”

Yan's mother was stunned when she heard this, and the knitting of the sweater in her hand stopped, and she looked at Yan Jing and said, "Why do you think about teaching me to read, how old am I, and where can I still learn it." ”

In fact, she really wanted to learn when she heard it just now, her family was poor before, her parents sent three boys to school, and the girls were all farming at home, and she still secretly went to the night school opened by the township educated youth twice before writing her name. But thinking that I am now in my thirties, it seems a little awkward to learn to read and write with my daughter.

Yan Jing hurriedly said: "Where is it big, the Xiucai exam in ancient times, isn't it the same test when you are seventy or eighty, and it is not for you to take the Xiucai exam, as long as you learn to recognize some words, it will be convenient to go out in the future, we go to school, you can also learn to learn words at home, read books, won't it be too boring." ”

When Yan's mother heard this, she thought it was the truth, so she said: "That's okay, I'll learn to learn first, if I can learn it, then it's the best, if I can't learn it, forget it." I hope you two can study hard and get into a good university in the future. ”

After speaking, her eyes were melancholy, when she was a child, she really wanted to study, but the adults sent the three boys to high school, and they were not admitted to college, so they didn't study, but the three girls didn't even enter the school gate, and in the end, the people who read so many books were still unfilial.

After eating in the evening and packing up her things, Yan Jing plans to start teaching Yan's mother to learn words, she will teach the family's name tonight, and tomorrow she will go to the bookstore outside to buy a three-character scripture and a hundred family names and come back. Teach the words in these two books, and that's pretty much it. As long as you can read words, it's good.

Yan's mother went to the back study with Yan Jing, and Yan Jing wrote the names of Yan's father, Yan's mother, Yan Jing and Yan Lin, her own name can be written and read, but Yan Jing still writes it. Yan's mother followed her daughter and wrote for less than half an hour, and she could read the name on the paper, but the writing was not very good.

This made her confident and felt that at this rate, she could read 10 words a day for 1 hour, 300 words a month, and she would be able to read the newspaper almost a year.

Yan Jing said: "Mom, how about it, do you think you can, wait until tomorrow we will go to the bookstore to shop, buy a book of three character scriptures and hundred family names, and it will be almost the same after learning." In the future, read the book by yourself, and ask us if you don't understand, so that you have something to pass the time, and it won't be so boring. ”

Yan's mother said happily: "Okay, then I'll go to the bookstore tomorrow, do you have any information to buy with Yan Lin?" ”

Yan Jing said: "We have just started school, don't worry, let's talk about it then, by the way, let's buy a few empty flower pots and come back." To buy the cheapest, I planted some flowers and plants in the yard into pots and put them at home, in my room or on the balcony, to look comfortable and purify the air at home. Yan Jing hurriedly took advantage of Yan's mother's happiness to make a request, and Yan's mother was definitely reluctant to buy it.

Yan's mother was in a good mood now, so she said, "Okay, let's go and see it then." ”

The next weekend, I went out after breakfast early in the morning, first went to the bookstore to buy enlightenment textbooks for Yan's mother, and then went to the pedestrian street, looked at those cheap flower pots, which were really not expensive, bought more than a dozen, and carried them home.

When she got home, Yan Jing first went to the yard to fill the flower trays with soil, then dug up all the herbs she didn't know and planted them in the flower trays, and then put the balcony, living room, room, and study on the floor.

Before, these herbs were not intended to occupy the open space in the yard, and she planned to plant them in pots and keep them at home. Before, there were no flower plates, and those tea trees, jasmine, and grapes did not grow, and if they did, they would be covered, but now they are placed at home, and they look good, and the air is much fresher. After lunch, Yan's mother asked Yan Jing to teach her to read, it seems that Yan's mother is very interested now.

In the afternoon, Yang Shaohua came over with his son, saying that tonight, let Yan Jing and the three go to their house for dinner, and they will come and go often in the future. Mother Yan felt that she had a good chat with Zhou Hongxia, so she promised to go over after a while, Yang Shaohua entered the courtyard and scanned it, and found that the herbs she had seen yesterday were gone.

He was very surprised and said, "Xiao Jing, why are there no more herbs you planted." He couldn't help but be surprised, it was a life-saving herb.

Yan's mother was surprised when she heard that the other party was so careful about how to observe, and he immediately found out that there were a few grasses missing in his house, but he still said: "Xiaojing, this child likes to make these flowers and plants, didn't she go to buy a bunch of flower pots today, I thought she was going to plant some flowers, but she planted all the grass she dug in the mountains I don't know what it was, and put it everywhere at home, saying that it was to purify the air, and she liked to do these strange things all day long." ”

Yang Shaohua raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "If you put more green plants at home, it looks comfortable, and the air will be much better." ”

Yan Jing said on the side: "Yes, Uncle Yang, do you want to, I'll give you a plate later." ”

When Yang Shaohua heard this, he was sorry, he was embarrassed to ask for it, after all, this grass is not an ordinary grass, since people took the initiative to send it, of course it was to hurry up: "Ah, I looked at it last time, although I don't know what kind of grass it is, but it looks very good, then you give me a pot." Your Aunt Yang likes to plant these flowers and plants. Yan Jing thought to herself, you may not be so excited in your heart, you are still pretending to be here.

Yan Ma said: "Yes, Hongxia likes it, then I'll send two pots later, how can I send something and send one pot." "Yan Jing doesn't care, she still has those herbs in her space. Yang Shaohua was desperate.
