Chapter 32: Miscellaneous Matters

At lunchtime, Pomegranate Hua held a big bowl and squatted with Jinbao's grandfather to eat.

There were two large pieces of meat in the dish that were too fat, and the pomegranate flowers didn't dare to eat them, and they felt too wasteful when they were thrown away, so they thought about it and put it in a Jinbao bowl.

"What do you want me to do with such good meat, you can eat it yourself!" Jinbao looked at the two large slices of fat in the bowl and wanted to return them to the pomegranate flower.

Pomegranate shook her head and said, "The meat is too fat, I don't like to eat it." ”

"Oh." When Jinbao heard the pomegranate flower say this, he gave up the idea of returning the meat, and thought to himself: How delicious the fatty meat is, I couldn't eat it at home before, and the pomegranate flower actually didn't like to eat it.

Seeing this scene, the two brothers Tang Yuanrong and Jin Fu and Jin Quan quietly turned away half of their bodies, not looking at pomegranate flowers and Jinbao.

After pulling the food in the bowl, the pomegranate chop said to Jinbao, who was still eating: "I have watermelon, you can bring it to eat with Uncle Yuanrong and Brother Jin Quan in a while." ”

Yang Laosi was afraid that it was hot, and he ran home when the workers were resting recently, so that the pomegranate flowers would stay and star, but in order to show his guilt, bring a melon today and bring some fruit to the pomegranate flowers tomorrow, these female dolls love to eat.

The pomegranate flowers can't be eaten by one person, so they give them to Jinbao to eat.

Jinbao responded, and Pomegranate went back to her small workshop.

As soon as she left, the people of Taojia Village who were eating next to her all gathered around Jinbao.

"Jinbao, you kid is capable, this daughter-in-law can't run away."

"But it's not, it's a matter of giving meat and watermelon."

"Jinbao looks simple, but in fact, he is very clever, and he knows how to prepare a daughter-in-law for himself when he is young."

Good deeds, you make fun of Jinbao with every word.

Some people also said to Tang Yuanrong: "Brother Yuanrong, Jinbao and Pomegranate grew up together, and they are a good marriage between childhood sweethearts, when are you going to propose to Tao Yougui?" ”

Jinbao was happy in her heart, but she said that there was nothing to do, and the pomegranate flower was still young, when she was her sister.

Tang Yuanrong said with a smile: "It's right for Pomegranate Flower and Jinbao to grow up together, but it still depends on the meaning of the two adults to get married, I haven't gotten angry with your brother about this, everything is not a foregone conclusion, so let's not talk about it first, so as not to embarrass our two families when they meet in the future." ”

This is reasonable, in case Tao Yougui doesn't look down on Jinbao and doesn't agree to this family business, and the people in the village have already spread the nose and eyes, Tao Yougui will think that the Tang family deliberately spread rumors and want to force him to marry his daughter to Jinbao.

When those good people heard Tang Yuanrong say this, they didn't bother themselves, and went back to continue eating.

Pomegranate Flower waited for Jinbao to wait for Jinbao to come and take away the watermelon, and then she lay down on a rocking chair made of bamboo, ready to take a lunch nap.

The rocking chair was also brought by Yang Laosi.

Yang Laosi is not very literate, but he is also a man who knows how to repay his kindness, not only repaired the pomegranate flower shed more comfortable than the workers' shed, but also recently made a bamboo rocking chair, so that the pomegranate flowers have a place to take a nap when they rest.

It's easy to get sleepy when you're full, pomegranate flowers shook the fan for a while, only to feel that the eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and at the moment when the upper and lower eyelids are about to close, I see a familiar figure walking towards his shed.

Am I already asleep and dreaming?

Pomegranate struggled to open her eyelids, but her consciousness was still a little blurry.

Under the fierce sun, the scholar who had not been seen for a long time held an umbrella, smiling shallowly and his eyes bright.

The dazzling sunlight outside was much shallower through the tissue paper, shining on his face, the brilliance in his eyes was like the waves of stars in the night sky, and his skin was warm and delicate, like jade.

"You...... What are you doing here? Pomegranate watched the scholar walk into her shed, and immediately became conscious, and quickly got up from the rocking chair.

"I heard from my mother that you came to town, and this place is not far from the academy, so I will come and have a look." The scholar took the umbrella, his eyes were warm, and he looked at the pomegranate with a soft smile.

"Uh-oh." Pomegranate suddenly became cramped, looked left and right, and only a stool and rocking chair on the other side of the table could sit, so she went over and moved the stool and invited the scholar to sit.

After the scholar sat down, he saw that the pomegranate flower was still standing, and asked, "Why don't you sit?" ”

"I've been sitting for a long time, so it's good to stand for a while." The pomegranate flower tone is relaxed and playful, but in fact, the baby's heart is bitter, but it can't be said.

The rocking chair sits on it and sways around, and the posture will not be upright, and it doesn't seem too uneducated and disrespectful to sit on it and talk to people

The scholar nodded, his eyes turned around in the shed, and he frowned: "This place is small and simple, and there are many mosquitoes at night, how can you rest?" ”

"It's just for resting during the day, and I don't live here at night." After answering, Pomegranate also threw out her own question: "Isn't the academy teaching today?" How do you have time to come out? ”

"The weather is too hot, so the college only teaches in the morning, and the rest of the time students can make their own arrangements." The pomegranate flower stood, and the scholar couldn't sit all the time, so he got up after answering.

Although the pomegranate flower had been in contact with the scholar a few times before, the two of them had said very little, and now the two were alone, and they didn't know what topic to talk about for a while.

And the scholar's feeling was similar to her, and the atmosphere cooled down suddenly.

After a moment of silence, the scholar, probably in order to break the stagnation, glanced around, and found that there were some papers on the table in the workshop, and there were strange patterns painted on them, so he walked over and took them in his hand to look at them.

"What is this?" The scholar looked at it for a while and still didn't look at what the pattern was on the paper, but he felt that it should not be a hand-scribble.

"Construction drawings of the foundation!" "A piece of paper is the construction plan of the foundation of a building, which indicates the length, depth and width of the foundation groove and the thickness of each structural layer when the foundation is lowered, and the workers only need to operate according to the data marked on the drawing." ”

The scholar was very interested and asked what the symbols on the diagram meant.

It is rare for someone to be so interested in the construction drawings he painted, and Liuhuaton regarded the scholar as a confidant, gave detailed explanations, and became relaxed in his words.

But when the discussion between the two came to an end, the scholar's question came again: who drew the picture?

Pomegranate is familiar with this problem and is not timid at all, "I drew it myself, because I can't read, so I came up with these symbols instead." ”

The scholar didn't doubt it, but felt new and excited, thinking that Pomegranate Flower was a genius.

Seeing that the scholar did not doubt her, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said to the scholar, "Can you teach me to read?" ”

She asked the scholars to teach literacy to find a logical excuse to show her talents in the future, as long as others knew that she knew how to read, she would no longer have to hide it.

"Okay." The scholar readily agreed, "From tomorrow onwards, I will come over every afternoon to teach you for an hour." ”

"It's a deal." Pomegranate opened her palm, palm facing the scholar.

The scholar was stunned, and then chuckled, "A word is a certainty." ”

After the high-five, the scholar went back to the academy.

The pomegranate blossom was very excited, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time, and the professional knowledge of the previous life was finally able to be shown openly and openly to meet people.

In the afternoon, after Yang Laosi came, Pomegranate went to visit Qin Niangzi.

The foundation project will be completed in almost half a month, and there will be nothing for her to do after that, before returning to Taojia Village, she hopes that Qin Niangzi's condition can be completely improved and she has the ability to take care of Chen Liangan.

When I came to Qin Niangzi's house, Qin Niangzi was washing clothes.

At a glance, the pomegranate saw that the clothes were not Qin Niangzi's own, and couldn't help but get angry, so she took off the clothes and threw them in the basin, blaming: "Auntie, you just got out of bed, why did you wash your clothes again?" In case you are tired and your condition worsens, won't you take the medicine in vain? ”

Qin Niangzi lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the pomegranate flower, and explained in a low voice: "Pomegranate girl, I know you are worried about me, but my body is almost better, and besides, this laundry is not a heavy job, it should not be tight, our mother and son can't always rely on you to support you." ”

"What's too good to be true? I was so sick before, and I haven't finished the medicine prescribed by the doctor, why is the illness almost better? "Pomegranate can't understand a patient like Qin Niangzi who doesn't listen to the doctor's instructions, the starting point is to think about others, but never think about the consequences.

She glared at Qin Niangzi and reprimanded, "Auntie, it doesn't matter if you don't take care of your body, but can you think about it for Liang'an, he is only so big, you are gone, how can he live?" Go to the streets to be a little flower child, and let others bully? ”

Qin Niangzi knew that she was wrong, and her face was flushed with shame, "Pomegranate girl, don't be angry, I was wrong." I won't wash these things anymore, and I'll listen to you from now on. ”

"Sister, don't be angry, my mother thinks that she will let you take money for everything, and she doesn't want to do laundry when she doesn't want to." Chen Liangan took the hand of the pomegranate flower and interceded for Qin Niangzi.

Pomegranate looked at Chen Liangan's pure and innocent eyes, most of the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared, and her tone softened, "Liang'an is good, my sister is not angry." After thinking about it, he immediately turned to a serious tone: "Liang'an, if you see your mother washing clothes for others in the future, you must stop it, do you know?" ”

"Got it, sister." Chen Liangan nodded vigorously to express his solemnity.

"Good, go play!" Pomegranate patted his cheek, and turned to Qin Niangzi and said, "Auntie, go to the house and rest, I'll wash this clothes." “

"Pomegranate girl, how can this work?" Qin Niangzi was at a loss, she just didn't want to trouble the pomegranate girl anymore so she took her clothes to wash them, but instead she troubled the pomegranate girl to wash them for herself.

Pomegranate Hua's face turned cold, and her tone was unquestionable: "If Auntie still wants to see me, you can go into the house." ”

Seeing this, Qin Niangzi shrank her neck and hurriedly walked to the house.

Pomegranate washed and dried the clothes that Qin Niangzi brought back, and then went to the Huichun Hall to ask Lao Langzhong to come and check Qin Niangzi's pulse again.

After Lao Langzhong finished diagnosing his pulse, he re-prescribed the prescription, saying that Qin Niangzi would just take a few more pairs of medicines according to this prescription, but she still needed to pay attention to her diet and keep her mood open.

Pomegranate sent Lao Langzhong away, and then went to Renji Pharmacy to grab a few more pairs of medicines according to Lao Langzhong's new prescription, explained everything, and gave Qin Niangzi two taels of silver before leaving.

Two taels of silver are enough for their mother and son to live for two months, but in this way, there is not much money on the pomegranate flower.
