Thinking of Qingshu's transformation in the past year or so, Lin Chengzhi couldn't help but sigh; "It's just different when you study. You can see that Shu was not as clever as Tong before, but since he studied with Mr., he has become smarter and smarter. ”

Zhang corrected; "Master Wuchen said that Qingshu is enlightened, not that he became smart by apprenticeship."

Lin Chengzhi has more knowledge than Zhang's, and said with a smile: "No one teaches, even if you open the door, what's the use?" ”

Zhang thinks about it and feels reasonable.

Since moving out, Zhang has only listened to him, which makes Lin Chengzhi very satisfied: "You have learned the craft of making steamed buns well, and when our shop makes money, we will send Rudie to study at the women's school." ”

Sending a few children to study is Lin Chengzhi's wish, and it is also the motivation for him to work hard.

If her daughter can go to the women's school to study, Zhang is naturally happy, but she also has concerns: "Mr. Qingshu's restraint is taken out by Mrs. Gu, and my mother-in-law is not happy." If Die goes to a women's school, she will definitely not agree. ”

Lin Chengzhi knew Zhang Qiaoniang's temperament, and he was not surprised that she thought like this: "I am in charge of the family now, and you don't have to take it to heart if you listen to what your mother says." ”

The Zhang family really felt the benefits of separating the family at this time, and now they no longer have to be constrained by their in-laws.

The next day, Lin Chengzhi ignored the white eyes of Old Man Lin and picked up several loads of things on the boat.

When he arrived at the county seat, he sent his things to the store he knew, and then went to Xu's house with Mr. Lin and them.

There were white lanterns hanging in front of Xu's house but no white shed, which made the father and son a little strange.

The second master of the Xu family heard that the entire Lin family was here, and personally came to entertain them.

It was also Lin Chengyu who was admitted to the Jinshi, otherwise how could he have such a high-standard treatment.

Old lady Lin asked, "Today is the third day, why is there no mourning hall?" ”

Second Master Xu smiled bitterly: "My mother said that if the murderer is not found for a day, a mourning hall will not be set up for a day." ”

The old lady of the Xu family learned that her son had been stabbed to death, and she was so angry that she couldn't get up in bed. She said that she must find the murderer, otherwise the third child will not be allowed to enter the ground.

Old lady Lin asked, "The murderer hasn't been caught yet?" ”

Second Master Xu shook his head and said, "No." The murderer has run into the mountains, and I have sent people into the mountains to find him. ”

Even the second master Xu also knows that it is difficult to find Qu Liuzi in the mountains and forests.

Old Mrs. Lin didn't want to get involved with their words, so she said, "Old man, let's go visit my aunt first." ”

When they arrived, Mrs. Xu had just finished drinking the medicine and fell asleep.

Old lady Lin said: "Second cousin, if you need anything, just ask." ”

Second Master Xu shook his head: "No." ”

The Lin family has no connections in the county, so they can't help them, and they only owe a favor when they open their mouths.

When the Lin family was about to go back, Second Master Xu deliberately said: "Cousin, Cheng Yu has already been admitted to the Jinshi, how can he still let the two children stay in the Gu family." Cheng Yu is a person who will become an official in the future, so you have to think about him. ”

Lin Chengzhi frowned and said, "Uncle Cousin, my sister-in-law's whereabouts are unknown now. Mrs. Gu is now seriously ill, and if she takes the two children back to the Lin family at this time, others will definitely say that we are impersonal. ”

Old Lady Lin scolded: "Evil animal, how can you have the right to speak? ”

Second Master Xu glanced at Lin Chengzhi in surprise, then nodded and said, "Chengzhi is right, it's me who didn't think it through." ”

After leaving the Xu family, Old Lady Lin and Lin Chengzhong said: "Your second cousin is right, we can't let Qingshu and An An continue to stay in the Gu family." ”

Lin Chengzhi said: "Dad, what are you going to do when you take Qingshu back to the countryside?" Qingshu is studying with his husband! ”

Mrs. Lin was already dissatisfied with Qingshu's study, and said, "Hasn't she been studying with her husband for more than a year? It's okay to be able to write and calculate, and it's a waste of money to read so many books. ”

Lin Chengzhi directly hit Mrs. Lin: "What kind of money is wasted?" Qingshu didn't pay a penny from our family to study, all of it was the money taken by Mrs. Gu. ”

Mrs. Lin was so angry that her face turned blue: "It's just to let the cook teach Qiao Niang to make a bun, and you protect her like this?" If she gives you some more benefits, wouldn't you even be able to admit it? ”

Lin Chengzhi really felt that Mrs. Lin was becoming more and more unreasonable: "What do you mean for me to protect her?" Mother, Qingshu is so smart, she will definitely have a good future in the future. Can she not bring her sisters at home when she is well? But what about you? But he always wants to detain his children in the countryside. Mother, you don't want to think about it, the eldest brother is going to be an official after being admitted to the Jinshi now. If his daughter is a dirt bun who has never seen the world, do you think the eldest brother has a light on his face? ”

Mrs. Lin snorted coldly: "This stinky girl is disobedient and unfilial, and her six relatives don't recognize it, don't even think about her sister in the family." ”

Lin Chengzhi disagrees with this point of view: "Mother, that's because you are prejudiced against Qingshu. Qingshu not only brought the villain book to Rudie and Le Wei to read, but also taught the two of them to read. Mother, I believe that Qingshu will definitely bring his younger brothers and sisters with him if he has a good future in the future. ”

Old lady Lin was a little surprised: "What you said is true?" ”

Lin Chengzhi said: "Rudie now recognizes a lot of words!" Dad, Qingshu, filial piety and caring and friendly brothers and sisters, the only drawback is that he has a big temper. It's just that she has been pampered since she was a child, and it's normal for her temper to be bigger. ”

Old Madam Lin thought for a while and said, "You're right. My mother-in-law has been sick for so long, we should go and visit. ”

The day after Mrs. Gu came back, he asked Mrs. Lin to visit, but unfortunately Mrs. Gu couldn't live or die.

Thinking of Mrs. Gu's persecution of her, Mrs. Lin clutched her chest and cried out in pain.

Lin Chengzhi couldn't, so he had to take her to the hospital first, and then send her home. As for Old Lady Lin, he didn't go to the Gu family, he went to the town.

Two days later, Aunt Xiang went to the yard rented by Lin Chengzhi.

When she walked into the kitchen and saw that the things inside were neatly placed and the stove was clean and spotless, Aunt Xiang couldn't help but nod. This is the food, clean is the first thing.

Aunt Xiang asked, "What about the things I asked you to prepare?" ”

Lin Chengzhi hurriedly took out the flour and meat he bought and put them on the board.

Aunt Xiang didn't say anything superfluous, and asked Zhang: "Have you ever made steamed buns before?" ”

Hearing that Zhang said that he had done it, Aunt Xiang said, "You can do it for me once." ”

When Zhang's steamed buns were made, Aunt Xiang watched the whole process without saying a word, and when Zhang's pinched the steamed buns and put them in the steamer, she said, "Is there warm water?" ”

Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Aunt Xiang kneaded the dough with warm water, which was completely different from the cold water used by Zhang.

When mixing the dough, Aunt Xiang said: "If the dough sticks to your hands, pour some oil into it and it won't stick to your hands." Your buns are going to be sold, so it's best to put lard, which will be very fragrant. Similarly, the dough should not be dried, and if it is dry, the steamed bun will be harder. ”

While mixing the dough, Aunt Xiang said: "The dough must be kneaded for a long time, and it will be made until the dough is kneaded smoothly." ”
