Chapter 104: Moonlight on the Lotus Pond
Soon, the carriage was in town.
After entering the house, Li Xin took a look at the things Zhu Yong brought back, a large basket of cherry tomatoes, small red cherry tomatoes, such a crystal clear red, it was very gratifying to look at. A basket of chili peppers, both vegetable peppers and very spicy peppers as a seasoning, has not yet turned into the final ripe color, but it is ready to eat.
The chili pepper used as a seasoning is also very spicy. Although there are dried chili peppers at home, there has always been no shortage of chili peppers to eat, but Li Xin is still very happy to see fresh chili peppers. After all, compared to dried chili peppers, fresh chili peppers always have an umami flavor that is very popular.
Li Xin looked at it, picked out some cherry tomatoes and peppers, and brought a basket of watermelons, and then went to Pinxiang Pavilion.
Since there is already a production in Zhuangzi, it is natural to sue the shopkeeper of SΓΉ Sun. With fresh vegetables on the market, the business of Pinxiang Pavilion can also be a little better.
After showing the things to Shopkeeper Sun, Shopkeeper Sun ordered a lot of everything. It is also said that as long as the crops on the Zhuangzi are ripe in large quantities, they will begin to be supplied to the Pinxiangge. As long as there is a notice, the shopkeepers of the Pinxiang Pavilion everywhere will naturally send people to Zhuangzi to pull the goods.
After talking about things, Li Xin went back to the house.
Before dinner, Wen Bo and the others also came back from the academy, and Wen Hao was very happy to know that the cherry tomatoes and watermelons at home were ripe. Seeing the big watermelon in the basket, several children liked it very much, and Wen Hao wanted to taste it on the spot.
"Eat first, wait until you have eaten and then eat watermelon, eat watermelon at this time, where will you eat later." Seeing Wen Hao yelling to eat watermelon, Li Xin took a few children to the kitchen.
"Is the watermelon we grow at home sweet? Sister should have tasted it, right? Wen Hao looked at Li Xin with a happy face. There are finally a lot of watermelons at home, and last year, he ate watermelon for the first time since he was so old, and he really liked the taste. Moreover, watermelon is also very relieving of the heat, which is suitable for eating in today's hot time. As soon as it got hot, he thought about watermelon and ate it. This year, I have planted so much at home, but I can eat it with my belly open, but I can only taste it last year. I don't want to say anything about the taste, I like it when I eat it, and I don't have a place to buy it.
"I've already tasted it, don't worry about it, you'll be able to eat it in a while." Li Xin rubbed Wen Hao's head. What a snack! But it's still very cute.
"Second brother, our watermelon is so sweet, I ate several pieces." Yue Ting said with a smile to Wen Hao. With a look of pride in tasting his own watermelon first, he also had some meaning to show off to Wen Hao.
"I actually let you taste this little gluttonous cat first! Really, if you stay at home all day, you can eat delicious food first. Wen Hao shouted as if he was at a loss. Everyone laughed, and in the midst of laughter, it was already in the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Sister-in-law Wu has already prepared dinner, and as long as she puts on the dishes and chopsticks, she can start the meal. Everyone sat around for dinner, but it was also a great pleasure.
After dinner, everyone sat by the lotus pond in the backyard to cool off. The large lotus leaves and lotus arrows in the pond are generally clustered with two lotus flowers in the moon, and the lotus flowers that are in full bloom are still so fresh and tender, and the colors are also very bright. Light red and light white, with a sparkling feeling.
The moonlight on the lotus pond is really a very good scenery.
"Are my mother and sister alright?" After sitting for a while, Lian Jingnuo asked Li Xin in a low voice.
"They're all right, you don't have to worry. When you are on vacation, you can go back and see them. They've grown a lot lately, and your mother can already cook good meals on her own. You can rest assured that they are in the village, and their lives are still very good. As long as they keep to themselves, I won't treat them badly. β
"Mother, they're all right. Mother hasn't cooked for a long time, but now she has to cook by herself all day, before, my mother always asked my sister to learn some more, but my sister was always unwilling, and said that those things should be left to the next person, where you need to do it yourself. Now, my sister is afraid that she can't help her mother at all. Lian Jingnuo sighed a little sadly, such a kind of sadness seemed to not appear in the eyes of such a child. When the road is too smooth, people will always not fall, but it will be difficult to grow.
The tragedy of the destruction of the family also made Lian Jingnuo grow up rapidly at a young age. It's just that this kind of growth always makes people feel a little sad.
The change of the center of power always requires the death of many people. And the struggle between adults often affects young children as well.
However, Lian Jingnuo's growth seems to reflect Lian Zhi's naivety as always. Even if the family is ruined, Lian Zhi always has some unrealistic ideas, and even can't see the current situation clearly. Originally, when something like that happened to the Lian family, Li Xin still sympathized and pitied several members of the Lian family, but Lian Zhi always made Li Xin a little crying and laughing.
At the beginning, Lian Zhi was indeed pitiful, but the more she got along, the more Li Xin couldn't accept such a person. The so-called wisdom of those who know others, and those who know themselves are clear, in fact, it is understandable that many people often do not know themselves, but Lian Zhi is really speechless. Hopefully, with the passage of time, Lian Zhi's ideas will be more realistic! If Lian Zhi has always been like this, it will be difficult for her to live a good life in the future.
"Your sister is also learning to cook with vanilla now, think about it, it won't take long, just take care of herself, she should be fine." Li Xin smiled at Lian Jingnuo.
"Thank you for taking care of our family, if there is no eldest lady, we don't know what our family's life will become!"
"It's nothing, it doesn't matter if your father is really innocent or not, but several of you are really innocent, and I can't bear to watch you suffer. You can go to the academy, but you have to study hard, learn a lot, and you can always find a way out. β
"Thank you for the teachings of the eldest lady, Jingnuo must remember."
Next, Li Xin was also busy, the ripe watermelons in Osmanthus Village were to be picked, and the cherry tomatoes and peppers in Zhuangzi were also to be picked. Fortunately, the chili peppers are all sold to Pinxiangge, and naturally there will be people from Pinxiangge to pull them, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
It's watermelon and cherry tomatoes, and Shopkeeper Sun has also ordered a lot, but there are still some to be taken out. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Sun also introduced some people, which saved Li Xin a lot of trouble.
The novelty at home has also matured, and Li Xin has also prepared a lot of things, and asked Zhu Yong to send them to the Zheng family in Nanbai County. Soon, the Zheng family sent a gift back, and the person who came to give the gift back was the person who had a face next to Mrs. Zheng. met Li Xin, gave a gift, and brought Mrs. Zheng's words.
It turned out that Zheng Xing had already gone to sea with a large number of goods after the New Year. Mrs. Zheng also said that she was very bored at home, and if Li Xin had free time, she would take her younger brothers and sisters to live at Zheng's house. Mrs. Zheng also said that she had already helped to promote Li Xin's things in the county, and if Li Xin still had more things here, the Zheng family could help introduce some buyers.
In this regard, Li Xin is also very happy, and he is also very grateful for Mrs. Zheng's help
