Chapter 6 The Ayah of the Surrogate Daughter
The eldest son of the three-room family is only four years old this year, and it is not too late to wait for a year to be enlightened, and it is naturally more important for Liu Wanli's imperial examination at the moment. As for Aoyama......"
glanced at the grandson whose facial features are not like the second son, but who is strong and live like the second son, and in a few years, he will be a large labor force, and there are many fields in the family, and the eldest and the young are not the material for farming, and the future of the family's farming will still have to come to the second room, so the words in the mouth changed, and he only said: "That's it, and the rest will be said after your brother is raised." ”
Therefore, the uncle is still quite eloquent, and even Uncle Liu is sure that the uncle will be able to win this time.
However, almost the whole family has been used to support the uncle's study, and there are too many things pressed on the uncle, what can I do if I am not sure that the uncle will be promoted?
Liu Chenxing looked at the clear soup in the food bowl on the table, and prayed from the bottom of his heart that the uncle would be able to move smoothly this time, otherwise he didn't know how long he would have to eat this wild vegetable soup.
Although the food was tasteless, it was a waste of food, and it was really thunder and thunder.
A bowl of wild vegetable soup and a child's fist-sized steamed weed cake, Liu Chenxing still ate it with relish, and added several bites of the soup bowl in a row regardless of the image.
"Cough-" Before putting down the empty earthen porcelain bowl, he was still adding it to his mouth, and the brother who was sitting next to him suddenly choked on the soup, and then something was thrown on her lap under the table.
When I looked down, it was a small half steamed cake.
Look, this is her hard-mouthed and soft-hearted brother.
Although it is only half a small one, the rations that my brother distributes at home are only one more steamed cake and a bowl of vegetable soup than her. Moreover, the steamed cakes at this time are different from the so-called "cakes" in later generations. In Daqi, all snacks made of noodles are called cakes. Steamed cakes, as the name suggests, are steamed in a steamer on fermented noodles, like steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, steamed dumplings, and siu mai in later generations. How many servings can this Liu family's wild vegetable steamed cake, that is, a wild vegetable steamed bun mixed with noodles and wild vegetables?
Besides, my brother will be ten years old this year, and it is the time to grow his body, and he is estimated to not be able to eat enough with two small wild vegetable steamed buns. Therefore, the ration of this half of the steamed bun can be said to be squeezed out of his mouth by the elder brother.
Liu Chenxing looked at the black steamed cake on his leg and couldn't help but smile stupidly.
Liu Qingshan saw the smirk on his sister's face, and hurriedly went to peep at the old couple of the Liu family on the other side of the table, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he hurried to Liu Chenxing's ear and urged: "I took out the bird's eggs in the afternoon." ”
Hearing this, Liu Chenxing's eyes lit up, thinking of the taste of bird eggs, he swallowed his saliva angrily, and then took advantage of the adults' inattention, and hurriedly buried his head and continued to lick the bowl, of course, under the bowl was quietly eating steamed cakes.
After eating two or three bites, the brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, thinking that they didn't know what was going on, but they didn't know that they were being looked at by most people. It's just that this is a matter of other people's brothers and sisters, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and others can't care about it.
Uncle Liu surprised everyone and said: "I can't eat this steamed cake, you can take Qingshan!" ”
Liu Qingshan didn't look strong, but he was very flexible, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and without waiting for everyone to come back to his senses, he immediately stood up, crossed most of the table with his upper body, took the steamed cake from Uncle Liu's hand, said "Xie Aweng", and took a big bite of the steamed cake.
When Grandma Liu saw it, she immediately said angrily: "You old man, you should also have a bowl of water and give a little bit to a few small ones." ”
Uncle Liu listened without saying a word, and took a slow sip of turbid wine and vinegar celery.
By the time everyone had finished dinner, Uncle Liu said that spring ploughing was about to begin, so everyone should rest while they were not busy now.
Liu Chenxing finally knew, no wonder Ah Weng let a steamed cake come out, it turned out that spring ploughing was about to arrive. And every spring ploughing and autumn harvest, her father is the main beam. This Jiang is still old and spicy, and she can see that when Ah Weng gives steamed cakes, her father's face is quite moved!
As soon as the second room of the big house heard that it was going to be spring ploughing, it was not surprising that Mr. Liu let the steamed cakes move, and then they each said goodbye to the old couple of the Liu family, and returned to the room one after another.
At this time, the dwellings were similar to the courtyard houses of later generations, but they were more narrow and long. Now in some dwellings in Xi'an, you can still see this kind of narrow courtyard structure. The courtyard of the Liu family is also a typical narrow courtyard, but in the countryside, the land is not as valuable as in the city, and the yard occupies a larger area.
The north room opposite the gate of the small courtyard is the main house, and there are three halls. The middle one is used as a living room, the one on the left is the bedroom of the old couple of the Liu family, and the one on the right is the uncle's study.
The houses in the east and west directions of the courtyard are wing rooms, and the east wing room has two rooms, the first room near the main house is lived by the uncle's family, and the second room is lived by the third uncle's family.
There are also two remaining west wings, the first room near the main house is where Liu Chenxing's family lives, and the second room is temporarily used as a warehouse, ready to wait for the daughters of the Liu family to grow up to the age of twelve or thirteen, and then vacate it for the daughters to live. In addition, in the left corner of the courtyard gate, there is a rammed stove room and a well.
The farmer cherishes the land, and there is no waste of vacant land in the yard. A large jujube tree was planted in the front yard of the long and narrow courtyard surrounded by the main house, the wing room, and the stove room, which is said to have been planted by the uncle when he was born, and now it has grown luxuriantly. There is a backyard behind the main house, and there are chicken coops and pig houses in the yard, and the thatched houses are built on top of the pig house, which means that it is convenient for people to have a small house above the pigsty, and the pigs eat environmentally friendly meals below.
As an urbanites who have enjoyed a modern and convenient life, the living conditions at this time, especially going to the toilet, really make Liu Chenxing at a loss, there is no straw paper to clean up, just clean up with a flat bamboo skewer or a few large leaves, and have to solve life events with the piglet, it is really speechless.
In short, it's all tears.
Liu Chenxing sighed again and threw away the leaves, walked down the ladder of the thatched house, secretly used his strength to eat & milk, fetched some water from the well and washed his hands, and when he returned to the west wing, the Liu family had already returned from washing the family's dishes and chopsticks.
As soon as he saw Liu Chenxing coming back like a thief, the beauty-like Liu family in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River instantly became a stepmother, with her hands on her waist, and she yelled fiercely: "Liu Chenxing, you have itchy skin!" How many times have I said that there are buckets in the room! What are you doing and going to the hut! Want to fall and be with the pigs!? In the end, the more he talked, the more angry he became, and his hand hit Liu Chenxing directly.
Born in a biological way, the attack is naturally severe, but the late mother-like Liu still bluffed Liu Chenxing into running around with his head in his hands. And the whole house, the best place to hide, is, of course, behind her strong Aya.
"Liu Qianli! It's you! Ah Xing's appearance is what you are used to! You sleep with Aoyama tonight! Get away from me! The anger shifted, and the Liu family opened up all the firepower, directly attacking Liu Qianli.
Liu Chenxing hurriedly shifted his position, hid beside his brother to watch the battle, looked at his father who was hanging his head in an instant, and stuck out his tongue in anger, Ayadainu was offended. But that's good, she shouldn't have to pretend to be asleep tonight.
