Chapter 43: Someone from My Grandfather's Family
"There are four pieces in total, and we will choose one by one." Qi Jiuli looked at the joy cake and the joy candy and said, "Ten incense and eleven are chosen first, you are young." β
In the end, Qi Qizhu and Qi Jiuli ate the wedding cake, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi ate the candy, and sure enough, the child still likes sugar the most.
"Brother, is the eighth cousin going to the county seat?" Qi Shiyi asked.
"Well, tomorrow'er is going to leave early in the morning, and I'm going to go to my uncle's house later, and I'll talk to Basong about the examination room, and I'll come back later, don't forget to bolt the door." Qi Qizhu reminded.
"Well, I got it, brother." Qi Shiyi nodded.
"Eighth cousin is going to take the exam, let's boil a few eggs and send them over, you can eat them on the road, it's still cold now, it's not easy to break." Qi Jiuli proposed, and Qi Qizhu and the three of them all nodded in agreement.
These days, the chickens at home can't lay three eggs a day, and they are basically stored in jars, in order to go back to Jinshui Town to exchange copper coins.
But as long as Qi Jiuli is in charge of cooking, the two eggs of brown sugar frangipani and stewed eggs can make a family of four taste meaty food, and they will appear every few days, so after ten days, twenty eggs will be saved.
This is still Qi Shixiang's daily counting to ensure that there is no shortage of results.
"Where did the eggs come from?" Qi Qizhu can now eat eggs every few days, and he is used to it unconsciously, thinking that it is his own eggs, but now when he sees that the jar is no less than yesterday, he asked.
"The fifth and sixth cousins have been here today." Qi Shiyi replied, "I sent four eggs, some old head ropes, and said that they were bought from the county town, and they could be loaded." β
"If you know the character, you've heard of it." Qi Qizhu smiled and touched the top of Qi Shiyi's hair, "They used to be like this, and if they marry a daughter-in-law in the future, maybe they will be better." β
Men will be affected by their daughter-in-law, this is what Qi Qizhu has seen, the most obvious is his own uncle, when the uncle did not marry a daughter-in-law before, it was not like now, but it is not without advantages, I am afraid that the daughter-in-law is also an advantage, and it is not without men who beat daughters-in-law in the village.
"I hope I don't marry someone like my aunt." Qi Shiyi muttered.
Qi Jiuli boiled ten eggs very generously, perfect and perfect, and when they were cooked, they were put in the basket and let Qi Qizhu carry them to the uncle's house.
After washing, Qi Jiuli practiced yoga on the kang, and Qi Shixiang was very puzzled when she saw her movements.
"Sister, what are you doing here?" Qi Shixiang hadn't seen it before, mainly because Qi Jiuli was not practicing by himself before, or he was busy making charcoal and didn't have a chance to practice, and today is the first time to practice in front of Qi Shixiang.
"Exercise." Qi Jiuli said seriously, "After suffering from the wind and cold, I know that the body is the most important thing, so I exercise and exercise, and I will not be easy to get sick in the future." β
"Does this work?" Qi Shixiang was skeptical, "The action is a little funny, you can't do it outside the house." β
"Of course I knew, so I worked out on the kang." Qi Jiuli flickered and said, "Shixiang, do you want to practice with me too, it's very useful." β
"Really?"
"I was able to get better so quickly a few days ago, I think it's the effect of this exercise, I have been staying in the house and can't go out, but I do it every day, you see, I'm getting better soon."
Qi Shixiang believed it, and then there was a so-called funny figure standing on one foot on the kang with his hands stretched over his head.
After changing a few postures and persisting for half a quarter of an hour, Qi Shixiang couldn't do it, lying on the kang and crying tired, his hands and feet were sore, and he was sore everywhere.
"This is the beginning, and every day after that, it's good to get used to it." Qi Jiuli is still standing, "Look at me now, I am the result of exercise." β
Qi Qizhu went for an hour before coming back, and Qi Shixiang went to open the door.
After Qi Qizhu came back, Qi Jiuli officially fell asleep, this is an ancient time without any nightlife, but it shouldn't be easy to have dark circles under his eyes.
The next day, Qi Jiuli got up early in the morning, but as soon as she moved, Qi Shixiang also rubbed her eyes and woke up, "Sister, ...... you wake up"
Qi Shixiang suddenly got up neatly, "Sister, don't worry, I'll make today's breakfast." β
Qi Shixiang seemed to be being chased by someone behind him, and quickly walked out of the house and went straight to the kitchen.
Qi Jiuli was amused for a while, she didn't plan to make eggs for her family today.
Qi Shixiang went to the kitchen to be busy, Qi Jiuli was not idle, he got up and went to pick up the potato slices and sweet potato skins that he had cut before, and also took out some yellowed wild vegetable leaves, washed them, threw them into the chicken coop, and fed the hens that laid eggs every day.
Qi Jiuli threw it at the hen that was not squatting, and at the same time "cooing" to call and lure, the hen is becoming more and more familiar with Qi Jiuli, after all, after feeding a few meals, he knows that it is his own person, and obediently follows the past.
The hens were busy pecking, Qi Jiuli went to pick up the eggs, lucky, there were four eggs today, Qi Jiuli looked at the six hens who were eating jubilantly, and his eyes were full of optimism, and it was not in vain that their daily delicious and delicious feeding was not wasted.
After sending Qi Qizhu out, Qi Jiuli took Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi out with two baskets, and a broken jar was placed in one of the baskets.
"Dig some earthworms today, and you may have six eggs a day at home in the future." Qi Jiuli said.
"Nine miles, ten incense, eleven."
didn't go out a few steps, there was a shout from behind, and the three of Qi Jiuli turned around, led by the eldest uncle Chi Lingmiao, followed by three people.
"Grandpa, grandma, little uncle-" Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi ran back happily, Qi Jiuli hurriedly followed, hey, it's not good not to recognize people, why doesn't she have memories that can be inherited.
"Grandpa, grandma, little uncle." Qi Jiuli hurriedly added his title in the back, "Whew-"
As soon as Qi Jiuli walked in, he was hugged by a woman, and then he felt some familiar heat in his ears, hey, don't cry.
"My nine milesβ" the woman cried in a low voice in her hoarse voice.
"Second aunt, don't be sad, Jiuli is fine now." Chi Lingmiao choked up and comforted on the side, "Second uncle, second aunt, Lingjun, let's go into the house first." β
"Mother, don't cry, the doctor said that your eyes can't shed tears anymore, your throat hasn't been good for so long, and you see, Jiuli and Shixiang are also going to cry." Chi Lingjun said while holding his mother-in-law, Chi's Shen Amin.
"Dad, please persuade quickly." Chi Lingjun saw that his mother's tears kept stopping, and looked at his own son Chi Zhuanghai and said.
"Jun'er is right, your mother-in-law is a cat with a lot of urine, don't let a few children be sad with you." Chi Zhuanghai helped his old wife and said.
Qi Jiuli opened the door and invited everyone into the hall, Chi Lingjun put the basket in his hand on the table of the Eight Immortals, and Qi Jiuli and Qi Shixiang went to the kitchen to soak in brown sugar water.
