Thinking of this, Pomegranate Hua pointed to a piece of red rock and soil the size of a basin on the ground, and said with a light smile: "Now that the weather is hot and the sun is fierce, if you don't believe it, let these rocks and soil explode in the sun for a few days to see the results." ”

Master Zhan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This is very good, if the result is really as the girl said, I will prepare a generous gift to ask the girl for advice, and then I will invite the girl not to be too troublesome." ”

Pomegranate didn't bother to say more, nodded and shouted to Jinbao and left.

When the two of them walked away, Yang Laosi cautiously said to the eldest prince Zhan: "Boss, seeing that the rainy season is coming, do we really want to listen to that girl's words, why are we waiting for the past few days?" I'm afraid I won't be able to complete it on time! ”

The eldest prince of Zhan glanced at Yang Laosi out of the corner of his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "This oil mill is very important to my Zhan family, but if there is a little mistake, the whole Zhan clan will fall to the ground, and there is no room for carelessness." There is no shortage of silver in my Zhan family, you just need to recruit more people, and you can't miss the construction period no matter what. ”

"Understood, host." Yang Laosi suddenly felt relieved, and hurriedly went to arrange for the workers to work.

Pomegranate and Jinbao walked towards the academy, and on the way, Jinbao couldn't help but ask Pomegranate: "Pomegranate, no house in our village has been repaired over the years, which master did you listen to?" ”

Pomegranate pouted: "Why not, the Mantian family didn't repair the house a few years ago." ”

Jinbao's thick eyebrows tightened, the Mantian family had repaired the house a few years ago, but it was only a stove and a warehouse that were about to collapse, and he had gone to see once or twice at that time, what was the situation of digging the foundation, but he had not paid attention to it.

Pomegranate looked at him, secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly urged Jinbao to leave quickly, and the students were about to get out of class.

When he came to the gate of the academy, the old man who watched the door saw that the hour was almost up, and he went in and called people without them saying anything.

About half an hour later, the old man and Tao Hengling came out of it together.

The beautiful boy's clothes are fluttering, and there is a bookish air between his eyebrows, giving people a sense of cleanliness and elegance.

Pomegranate Hua watched the young scholar approach, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart, Tao Hengling seemed to have some similarities with the Zhan Gongzi just now, but he couldn't say where the specific similarities were, the facial features of the two were very different, and the temperament was also easy-going and gentle, and the other was arrogant and cold.

Tao Hengling was slightly stunned when he saw Pomegranate Blossom and Jinbao, and then a warm color rose in his eyes, and a smile gradually bloomed on his face.

Pomegranate smiled back, and when the beautiful boy arrived, she handed him the burden in her hand, "I asked me to bring this burden to me, and I don't know what it is." ”

Starting with the burden, the beautiful boy knew his mother's intentions, smiled more and more, and explained: "Last time I went back, I told my mother that the weather was hot and the summer clothes were not enough to wear. ”

At this time, the indifference on his body disappeared, his smile was simple, and he was just a sunny boy who was pampered by his mother.

The beautiful boy looked at the pomegranate blossom and said in an apologetic tone: "Mother is really, I will go back in a few days, why bother you to go all the way to this trip." ”

Liuhua chuckled: "My aunt knew that Brother Jinbao and I were going to come to the town to do some errands, so we were entrusted with it, not a special trip, and it was not troublesome at all, so don't take it to heart." ”

Hearing this, the young scholar looked at Jinbao and nodded lightly to show his gratitude, but the smile had already been raised at the moment when his head drooped, and he was far less enthusiastic than he was with the pomegranate flower.

Jinbao was used to seeing the scholar's ice cube face, so he didn't care about it, grinning, and said that he was not welcome.

When the things arrived, Pomegranate and Jinbao had to rush back, and there was no longer much delay at the moment, so they said goodbye to the young neighbor and left.

Tao Hengling still had classes to attend, and after seeing the two pomegranate flowers go away, he also hurriedly returned to the academy.

Pomegranate Blossom and Jinbao walked to Xu's butcher shop, and the crowded flow of people on the street was gone, only a few passers-by were scattered, and the market was dispersed.

There were no customers in front of the Xu family's butcher shop, and the desk had already been cleaned up, Xu Pingchang stood on the street and stretched his neck to look, and saw the figure of the pomegranate flower appearing, waving his arm and shouting the pomegranate flower.

When Pomegranate and Campbell heard this, they hurriedly trotted forward.

Xu Pingchang waited for the pomegranate flowers to come over, and said aggrievedly: "Little sister, why have you been going for so long, I have gone home to collect the shop, and your sister is still complaining about why I don't take you home!" ”

"It's a bit of a delay." Pomegranate Blossom was a little embarrassed.

Xu Pingchang didn't really blame the pomegranate flower, said hello to Jinbao, turned around and went into the shop to take out the basket of eggs.

There is a leaf of pork liver, a pig tail, and two large pig bones in the basket.

"There are too many people buying meat today, and they can't keep any good things, so there are only a few things left that no one wants, you can take them back and make them for Jinbao to eat." Xu Pingchang handed the bamboo basket to the pomegranate flower and said with some embarrassment.

It's big market day, and there's something you can't sell.

Pomegranate knew that the things in the basket were specially left by Xu Pingchang, so she refused to ask for them: "No amount of things can fill Jinbao's gluttony, brother-in-law, you don't have to get used to him." ”

Xu Pingchang said: "These things are not worth a few coppers, your second sister loves Tianbao the most, if you don't take it, go back and let her know that you have to blame me for a long time." ”

Pomegranate is still hesitating, Xinghua has a good relationship, Xu Pingchang doesn't care about this thing, is the same for the second elder of the Xu family?

If the mother's family always comes to take advantage, it will definitely be despised by the in-laws, and it will not be beneficial to Xinghua in the future.

Xu Pingchang seemed to know the thoughts of the pomegranate flower, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to come to the town, and you refuse to go home for dinner, these things are specially left by my father." Originally, there was a good piece of meat, but when the stall was closed, an old acquaintance who came to visit it often came and had to buy the meat. ”

When she heard him say this, she smiled and took the bamboo basket and asked Xu Pingchang to thank her on her behalf.

"Pork liver is easy to spoil, and it is hot right now, so passers-by must get sunburned at noon. If you have nothing else to do, go back quickly! Xu Pingchang admonished.

"Okay, second brother-in-law, Jinbao and I will go back."

Leaving the Xu family's butcher shop, Pomegranate remembered that the seasoning at home was almost exhausted, and went to the grocery store to buy two catties of salt and one catty of soy sauce, and then set foot on the way home with Jinbao.

The sun was shining brightly, and the earth was white.

The way back was downhill, and Pomegranate and Jinbao did not stop and walked to Taojia Village in one breath.

The face of the pomegranate flower was red, the clothes on the back were also soaked with sweat, the legs were sore, thirsty and hungry, and when she got home, she put down the bamboo basket, picked up the kettle and poured water and drank violently.

The Cao family had already cooked the meal, Tao Tianbao was very dissatisfied with the late return of the pomegranate flower, and complained with his mouth crossed: "Go to the town for most of the day, and in the past, you were abducted by which flower, I don't know if the family is waiting for you to eat!" ”

Pomegranate has a way to treat him, and when he finished drinking the water, he touched his stomach and said with a pretended aftertaste: "Oh, there are so many delicious things in the town, and my stomach can't hold it anymore." After walking all this way back, I didn't feel hungry at all. ”

Tao Tianbao believed it, and was so anxious that he immediately threw himself into Tao Yougui's arms and coquettishly said: "Dad, I'm also going to town, take you and me next time I go to the market, I want sugar people and delicious cakes." ”

Tao Yougui has always been obedient to the baby bump, and he agreed repeatedly, but the subsequent words made Tao Tianbao angry: he has grown up, and it is a hot day, so he can no longer carry him on his back like when he was a child, and he has to rely on himself to go to the town if he wants to go to the town.

After Cao Shi picked up the things in the bamboo basket, he saw Tao Tianbao crying and mourning, like a dead mother, and said angrily: "Your sister sold such a snake and bought so many things, how can she have the money to eat good?" I'm going to turn eight years old, and I can't even hear what I want to say! ”

Tao Tianbao woke up, and was so angry that he stared at the pomegranate flower.

The pomegranate pretended not to be seen.

Cao Shi carried the bamboo basket to the stove room, and the fresh pork liver would turn bad at night, so he had to hurry up and eat it at noon.

Tao Tianbao saw that there were pork liver, pig tail and big bones with vegetables, and his complaints disappeared.

Pomegranate went to the stove room to wash her face, and her sweat-soaked hair was very uncomfortable on her face, and her body was also sticky and greasy.

Cao took out the pork liver and washed it, removed the white fascia, and then cut it up.

After washing her face with cold water, the heat on her body went down a little, and she splashed the water away, and then told Cao that the pork liver and other things were given by the Xu family.

The girl is valued in her husband's house, and the mother-in-law will be good to her mother's family, and the Cao family is very happy to learn that Xinghua is living a happy life now.

At first, Liuhua was worried that the Cao family would take the rest of the money, but the Cao family didn't mention it at all, and she was relieved.

A girl's family always has to have a few pocket money.

Cao cut the pork liver and marinated it with seasonings, then went to the kimchi jar to pick up some sour chili peppers, ready to make hot and sour pork liver, and kept the pig's tail and bones for the evening to eat.

The pork liver was stir-fried, it didn't take much effort, Cao didn't need the pomegranate flower to help light the fire, the pomegranate flower went back to the house to change the sweaty clothes on his body, and came out to eat.

Exploring geology and crossing mountains and mountains is commonplace, Tan Jingjing in her previous life had excellent physical fitness, but in this life she was reduced to a small peasant girl, but she only did some light housework, and she walked down dozens of miles of mountain roads, and she was so tired that she didn't want to move.

After the meal, the pomegranate blossom went back to the room and slept soundly, and did not wake up until the middle of the afternoon, and got up to take the dirty clothes that she had changed to wash. When I went out of the room, I saw Cao burning the hair of the pig's tail with fire at the door of the stove room.

A pig's tail, the whole family can divide up to two pieces, not to mention a little ancestor who dominates food.

Cao's soaked soybeans after lunch, and stewed soybeans with pig's tail tonify yin and marrow, which is a good dish suitable for men, women and children.

Pomegranate Hua took the wooden basin for washing clothes from the stove room, put the clothes in the wooden basin, and greeted Cao's family: "Mother, I went to the well to wash clothes." ”

Cao Shi turned the pig's tail around with the fire tongs, and said without raising his head: "Wash your own clothes and tell the old lady, do you want the old lady to remember your success?" ”

Pomegranate has long been accustomed to Cao's way of speaking, so she didn't take it to heart at all, and walked away with a wooden basin.

The well is in the center of the village, and on the surface it appears to be two connected wells, but in fact there are wells on the top and cisterns on the bottom.

The water in the well is used by the villagers for drinking, and there is a hole along the well, from which the water flows to the cistern below for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to wash their clothes and vegetables.
