Chapter 36: Literacy
The peasants repeated this tedious and monotonous toil, day after day, year after year, watering the land with their sweat, braving the bitter cold in winter and sweating against the sun in summer.
And Lijia Village has spent the most busy but most satisfying season this year, in the blink of an eye, Yin Chen can no longer dig, with the spring rain watering, Yin Chen and weeds like crazy growth, pumping, become weeds, the pharmacy also stopped Yin Chen's acquisition, only a small number of people are still digging dandelions, but the harvest is not so big.
More of the focus is on the crops, and another round of fertilization and watering has begun, which is the most important thing that farmers can not leave behind, even if the family has money, they can't resist the food and don't panic.
After the craze of crazy discussion of the Li family in the village, along with Li Dahai, Li Dashu, Li Erniu, Li Dagui and several other families who are good friends with Li Hui's family, they also sent their school-age sons to the school. The village has gradually become calm and peaceful, with the same early and late return, the same gossip.
In the courtyard of the Li family, Li Huizheng's younger brother Li Yurong and cousins Li Yubin and Li Yuhua are writing, and the three-year-old Li Yuhua can also write simple words such as people, mouth, big and small, and read while writing: "At the beginning of people, the nature is good, the sex is similar, and the habits are far away"
"Sister, sister, I can memorize it, and I can write it, what about the delicious food you promised me?" After Li Yuhua finished writing the last word, he hurriedly reported it to Li Hui, and then looked at Li Hui with anticipation and Wang eyes, as if he was so aggrieved if he didn't give him good food.
"Well, it won't be missing your goodies." Since the children in the family began to learn words, Li Hui has become the object of envy and jealousy of the family, including Li Yujin and Li Yucheng in the school.
This is still Li Huizang's clumsiness, a modern highly educated person, no matter how he pretends to be, he can't pretend to be a teacher, which can only make everyone think that his brain is really good.
Since then, Li Hui has taken on the burden of learning for several children in the family, modern children are three years old in kindergarten, education should start from the baby, Li Yurong and Li Yubin are better, the youngest Li Yuhua is not good, can only rely on coaxing, Li Hui every time with food as a temptation, several children in the family for delicious food, learning enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.
"It's all what you are used to for them, look at it, now everyone in the family is hungry." The third aunt Zhou looked at her son's greedy cat, and complained like Li Hui.
"Third aunt, I don't have to worry about making food for them, they use all the things they have at home, besides, now the family is not as hungry as before, and I don't have the energy to make these tricks. I'm inspired to raise my younger brothers for nothing. Li Hui knew that although the third aunt was complaining, she was very happy in her heart.
"That's right, third sister-in-law, I still have to learn a few more tricks from Hui'er, I can't read and write, just recognize a few simple ones, but I want to learn a few more dishes, and I don't know where I got so many tricks all day." Sister-in-law Li Ruyi answered, when she reached the age of marriage, although she was shy, she still wanted to have a few skills to take, recently she always followed Li Hui to cook, I feel that the craft is good, but it is not good to learn words, it is not that material, but the Zhuang family does not require women to be literate, and it is good to be able to do housework and be popular.
"Okay, let's go play first, my sister-in-law and I will make food for you, don't play too crazy!" Li Hui touched the head of her little cousin Li Yuhua, smiled and sent a few people to play, ready to cook for them.
In fact, it is a modern home-cooked meal, but every time the family eats it with relish, it is no wonder that in this era of lack of materials, white flour steamed buns are rare and delicious, not to mention that Li Hui's cooking is oil, eggs and meat, it must be a feast.
Li Hui is going to give you ** egg cake today, I haven't done it before, in fact, the method is very simple, that is, stir the white flour into a batter, put a little salt, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and let it wake up for a while, so that the cake is stronger.
The conditions at home are good, and they are not stingy in eating, Li Hui will be a family every time she cooks food, and her grandparents' parents are so tired from working all day long that they can't do it, how can they do it if they don't do some good supplements.
I think that when Li Hui first came over, all the people in the family were malnourished like African refugees, and after this period of supplemental nutrition, they didn't receive it like a hemp rod, and their faces were not yellow and thin, and their faces gradually became normal.
"Hui'er, what are I doing with your sister-in-law?" The third aunt Zhou came to help, knowing that there were many people in the family, and Li Hui was too busy as a child, so she had to come to help every time, but she was always under Li Hui's command.
"Third aunt, you come to stir up this noodles, dilute it a little, put a little less salt, scatter the green onions, I am small, I can't stir it, sister-in-law, you go to brush the pot and make an egg soup first, it's almost summer now, it's comfortable to drink a soup, and it's still on the fire, I'll go to pull the garlic, I don't have to cook today, just dip the garlic juice and sauce to eat." Li Hui arranged the work of the three of them. Then they were busy, and the whole family had to cook a lot.
"Hui'er, do you think this will work?" Zhou couldn't make up his mind and let Li Hui check it.
"No problem, that's it, let's rest for a while and let the noodles wake up for a while."
In fact, it is very simple, Li Ruyi and Zhou will be able to watch it a few times, except for the first few are a little confused.
First smear a thin layer of oil in the pot, the fire can not be too big, or it is not easy to paste, scoop a spoonful of batter when the oil is seven minutes hot, spread evenly along the bottom of the pot, wipe the thickness evenly with a spatula, wait for the cake to fix the shape, beat an egg, spread it thinly, and when it is almost cooked, carefully turn the cake over, so that both sides are blooming golden flowers. Then the green onion is fragrant, and the golden and beautiful egg cake is out of the pan.
"I want to eat, I want to eat!" As soon as he got out of the pot, Li Yuhua twisted his little short legs, rushed into the kitchen, opened his mouth wide, stretched out his hands and couldn't wait to stuff them into his mouth.
"Be careful, don't burn it, it's not delicious." Zhou looked at his son's gobbling up and couldn't help but remind.
"Good ci, good ci." There are so many things in my mouth that I can't speak clearly.
"Xiaorong, Xiaobin, you two also come to eat, don't worry, there are a lot of them, take care of your fill." Li Hui couldn't help but laugh when she saw her little cousin gobbling up.
After Zhou and Li Ruyi became proficient, Li Hui was only responsible for lighting the fire, and spreading cakes was also manual work, although she exercised a lot, but her strength was still lacking, so she was only responsible for commanding.
As the sun set, the last sunset stretched the figure of people returning home, and when they walked to the door of Li Dahe's house, the Li family smelled the fragrance wafting from their house. Li Qingshan couldn't help laughing: "Hui'er, this girl must be delicious again, let's go, hurry up, we have a good mouth again......
