Chapter 222: The Banquet (1)
Early the next morning, Wenbo and the others went to the academy, and Li Xin also took Yuexiang and them back to Osmanthus Village. Speaking of which, it's been such a long time, and I don't know if the sweet potatoes in the village have been processed.
I haven't been back to the village for a long time, and I really miss the simple neighbors here. There are too many disputes outside, and everything seems to be a little noisy, but after all, it is better to have a small village like this. Calm, peaceful, and a qiē all appear pure.
Everyone doesn't have too much scheming, of course, there will definitely be some quarrels for the sake of interests, but those are all on the bright side, yes, yes or no. Everyone doesn't know how to hide their likes and dislikes, everything is put on their faces, such people can see through it at a glance. In this way, it is really likable!
"Eldest sister, I'm going to play with Niuniu in a while." After entering the village, Yueting said with a smile. Yueting and Niuniu are the same age, and they have always been the best to play. And the relationship between the Li family and the Zhang family was good before, so the children naturally could play together.
Now, I don't want to be able to see each other all the time like I used to live in the village, it's rare to come back, the relationship seems to be closer, and the relationship is getting better and better. Sometimes it's like this, people who can always meet don't feel how good the relationship is, once separated, it takes a long time to be able to meet, but they feel very close, and there are few contradictions and quarrels.
"Good. When don't you come back and go to play with Niu Niu! Now they have specially reported to me. Li Xin poked Yueting's forehead.
As soon as she got home, Yueting took some food and went to Zhang's house to find Niuniu to play. Li Xin was waiting for the village chief at home, the village chief had been looking for her before, so now, she has returned, I think the village chief will come over as much as possible! Some fruit trees are planted in the courtyard, so the trees appear lush and cast a large area of green shade in the courtyard.
Li Xin set up a recliner under the tree, and then lay on the recliner to enjoy the coolness.
The weather in May is really hot and makes people dizzy. It's fine in the morning and evening, and it will be a little cooler, but once the sun hangs high, it will be too hot to stand. However, the heat can only be endured, anyway, there is no way to do it, and I can only find a place with shade to rest, if it is really hot, I will take a big fan and fan it.
After a while, Yueting pulled Niuniu back home. The Zhang family now has only one child Niuniu at home, Yueting likes to be lively, and she doesn't like to play at the Zhang family, so she took Niuniu to the house. In the village, it is normal for children to visit each other's homes.
"Niu Niu is here! Come and sit. Li Xin greeted Niuniu.
"Sister Xin." Niu Niu smiled a little shyly. Niuniu, a child, has always been a little shy, but it's a little better to play with people who play well. If you are facing someone you don't know very well, or if you don't play well on weekdays, Niuniu doesn't like to talk very much.
"How are you doing in the house? How's the sweet potato handled? Have you made all the vermicelli? When Niuniu sat down, Li Xin asked.
"The sweet potatoes were left for eating, and they were all made into vermicelli. However, I don't know how to eat vermicelli yet! These were sent to Sister Xin's house to eat. Niuniu asked Li Xin to see the basket of noodles she had brought over. The vermicelli had been dried and tied up one by one. At a cursory glance, the color is good, and it seems that the quality of the vermicelli is still very good.
"Actually, eating vermicelli is very simple, basically boiled and eaten. First, make the dry vermicelli with water, and when it is soft, you can eat it. It tastes great when boiled or stir-fried. Generally, cold water is used, but cold water will be slower, if you are in a hurry to eat, you can get some warm water. However, it's okay to be warm, and the vermicelli that comes out if it's too hot is not good. Li Xin said with a smile and Niuniu.
"That's it!" Niuniu still doesn't seem to understand.
"Why don't you do it! Since you've brought vermicelli, we'll eat vermicelli for lunch today, so you can eat at our house! I make a few things with vermicelli, so you know how to eat them. ”
"Okay." Niu Niu agreed.
Li Xin took the noodles to the kitchen first, and then took out some water and waited for lunch to make a few foods.
Lian Zhou saw that Li Xin was making noodles, so he asked, "Is the eldest lady going to make this noodles to eat today?" "Actually, the people in the village had already brought some noodles, but they didn't know how to eat them, so they kept them and didn't touch them at all.
"Yes! Everyone still doesn't know how to eat it, so let's eat it at home first! Li Xin smiled. It's just talking about how to make vermicelli to eat, I'm afraid that many people don't understand it very well, but if you make it directly, it will be much more intuitive. The way to eat vermicelli, to put it bluntly, is just a few things, most of them still like to make pork stewed vermicelli, hot and sour noodles, with some vegetables boiled, fried, cold or something.
"The eldest lady is coming back this time, do you want to stay longer?"
"It depends! Originally, I was going to stay longer, anyway, Yipinzhai's business is more stable, but I don't need to watch it all the time. Does Aunt Zhou have something to say to me? Lian Zhou would never ask her such a question, and she always felt that Lian Zhou's expression was a little strange now.
"It's not a matter that Zhi'er is always idle, I want to ask the eldest lady, but there is a suitable errand assigned to Zhi'er. It's okay to let her help in the shop. ”
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, Lian Zhou has always been very fond of Lian Zhi, and he is more strict with Lian Jingnuo, and he is really fond of Lian Zhi and is unwilling to let Lian Zhi do any rough work. And now what did she hear? Lian Zhou's asked her to find something for Lian Zhi to do? She wouldn't have a sudden auditory hallucination, would she? Otherwise, how can you think this thing is very weird!
"Aunt Zhou, is something happening? Isn't Lian Zhi good at home? Li Xin looked at Lian Zhou with some confusion.
"Zhi'er is fine, but she is not young, and it is not good that this girl is always idle. Her identity can't be compared with before, she should also learn something, otherwise, she really doesn't know how to live her life in the future. It's just that Zhi'er can't do anything, so it's better for the eldest lady to let her go to the store to help! Learn to do something, too. ”
"Is Aunt Zhou really willing to let Lian Zhi go out to do things?" In fact, even if Lian Zhi really doesn't know anything, but her appearance is very outstanding, and it is not difficult to marry a good family. However, Lian Zhi is now a slave, and it would be possible to marry someone who is also a slave. However, if you want to marry an ordinary person, I am afraid it is not easy. Even if she wants her, she can only be a concubine, and it is not easy to be a wife.
In the final analysis, even Zhi's fall to where she is now is too miserable. If Lian Zhi is still the daughter of the former general, then she will be rich and glorious for the rest of her life. But nowadays, it's hard to find even a good family affair. Therefore, Li Xin is still a lot more tolerant of Lian Zhi.
For a long time, she has also turned a blind eye to Lian Zhi's affairs.
"It's not a way for this kid to be like this, the eldest lady should give her an errand!"
"Then let her go to Yipinzhai! It's just that she doesn't know anything, and she can only be a buddy and help greet guests. This errand is not easy to do, I am afraid, Lian Zhi has such a temperament, she can't do it. Although she just went to Yipinzhai, she was only serving some female guests, and she didn't show up. However, Aunt Zhou, you still have to think clearly. ”
"The slave has already thought about it, it's better to let Zhi'er do something."
"In that case, then I'll have someone send her to Yipinzhai, and I'll go in a few days! Aunt Zhou also took advantage of these few days to talk to Lian Zhi about the mother-daughter relationship! ”
"Then thank you, Miss."
"What is there to thank you for! However, Lian Zhi's temper is not good, I hope Aunt Zhou can make it clear to her. If you can do it, then do it well, if you can't do it, come back and don't get me in trouble. ”
"Miss, please rest assured, the slave will definitely make it clear to Zhi'er."
"That's good. If nothing happens, I'll go out first. At lunchtime, Aunt Zhou will cook two good dishes! I'll do the rest. After Li Xin finished speaking, he left the kitchen first.
When I got to the courtyard, I found that the village chief had already come. It seems that the village chief is really concerned about whether he is back! It's been back for a while! It's already here.
"When did Uncle come over? Why don't you call me! Li Xin said with a smile.
"I'm new here, too."
"Uncle came over today, is there something wrong?"
"It's not about the vermicelli yet, but now, the big guy's sweet potatoes are almost finished. Except for some sweet potatoes to eat, the rest are made into vermicelli. It's just that the big guy has never seen this thing before, and he doesn't know how to eat it when he gets it out. So! I heard that Sister Xin had come back, so I came over to ask you. ”
"This thing! Niuniu came over and told me today. I'll make some dishes with vermicelli at noon, and my uncle will bring the family over for lunch! Speaking of which, it's been a long time since our two families had a good gettogether. ”
"This ...... I'm not going to be a fool of myself. The village chief was a little embarrassed.
"Where is this rubbing rice! Since I have called you uncle, why are we two so polite! It's also rare to get together at such a time! Uncle and his family should come over! ”
"Okay, then I'll go back first, and then I'll bring my family over at noon." The village chief smiled and agreed. R1152
