Chapter 286: It's Long Overdue
Sleeping in the open all the way, it can be said that I am extremely tired and sleepy, lying on the bed from childhood to adulthood, under the peace of mind, this sleep is extraordinarily sweet.
I didn't dream until dawn all night, my biological clock made it, and I didn't have the habit of sleeping lazy, so I woke up early in the morning and eight in the morning.
I was going to visit relatives and friends today, and it was not appropriate to wear last night's linen skirt, so I changed into a brown robe brought back from Chang'an, with my hair coiled on the top of my head, and then put on a black veil, and pushed the door out with a "squeak".
Outside, there was still a gray-blue sky, and the eastern sky was not turned out of the white belly.
I slept too deeply last night, and I don't know when it rained.
The rain in spring has never been heavy, mostly a drizzle, and the rain has not been long, and the mud in the yard dam has been semi-dry and not wet.
Liu and Liu Qianli are both diligent people, and they can't see a single weed popping up in the yard, but there are mulberry and jujube trees in the yard.
Mencius's so-called "five acres of house, trees to mulberry", this dynasty also requires each peasant family to plant at least 50 mulberry trees, of course, it is impossible to plant all in their own houses, there are special mulberry fields to plant trees, every two acres of mulberry fields can produce a horse, a mulberry can be made into four canes, each cane 20 wen, then a mulberry can be sold for 80 wen, 50 mulberry ten years can be sold for 4,000 wen, that is, the money from selling mulberry wood alone can have 400 wen income every year, which is a lot of sideline income for peasant households.
This mulberry tree, which is full of treasures, has been wet by the rain last night, and even if the sky is not yet bright, you can see the green green leaves dripping green.
Liu Chenxing stood under the eaves outside the west room, took a deep breath, full of the fresh breath of the soil and plants after the rain, and seemed to stretch the pores on his body with a breath.
Like the difference between modern urban and rural areas, this kind of fresh air full of negative oxygen ions cannot be breathed in Chang'an.
No wonder the teacher Jiang Mo wants to move from the bustling northeast of the city to Qujiang to live, and he gets up every day with such fresh air.
However, she still likes the lively atmosphere of life, so when she has money and leisure in the future, she will go to Qujiang or simply buy a piece of land outside the city, build a farmhouse by herself, and go to the countryside to live for a few days every week or month, breathe the fresh air outside the city, so that the estimated life expectancy will be longer.
"What do you think about early in the morning? A man giggled. “
Liu came out of the main room and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Chenxing standing at the door of his room with a fishy face.
The ground in the courtyard dam was already half dry, and he didn't worry about stepping on the mud on his shoes, Liu Chenxing walked down the eaves and said, "What do you want A-Niang to do for me this morning?" In the past two years in Chang'an, I can think about A-Niang's craftsmanship! ”
The Liu family likes her daughter to be coquettish, and when she heard this, she smiled, but she smiled and said: "What kind of place is Chang'an, I don't know how much delicious it is, how can I compare with the craftsmanship of a country woman." ”
Liu Chenxing followed Liu into the kitchen located in the south, and continued to say sweetly: "No matter how delicious the mountains and seas are, they can't compare to the food at home. Isn't there a saying that the best meal is always made by A-Niang. ”
Grandma Liu is already fifty-seven or eighteen years old, and she has lived with her daughter and son-in-law for the past two years, which can be regarded as pampering.
When she got up early, she heated the stove, so that she could cook the morning food later, and when she came, she just boiled the hot water for everyone to wash.
This is the difference between the Liu family and the ordinary peasant family, even if the life is poor, they are as delicate as they can, unlike ordinary peasant families who wash with cold well water all year round in order to save firewood, but they don't know that if the cold water touches too much, no matter whether the man or woman is old, he will suffer.
Liu Shi went into the kitchen and called "A-Niang", then opened the lid of the pot, scooped a gourd scoop of hot water into the wooden basin, and then threw a brand-new coarse cloth handkerchief into the basin, and finally took a smaller handkerchief and dipped it in coarse salt, and then served it to Liu Chenxing with the basin, and said: "Okay, don't be poor first, go wash up quickly, and tidy up the things that were given to the old house." By the way, don't forget your third uncle's things, they must be waiting for you in the old mansion today! ”
Yes, when visiting relatives and friends today, the most important thing is to visit the people of Lao Liu's family first.
Fortunately, I visited it today, and when they went to Chang'an, which was thousands of miles away, they were far away, and Uncle Liu Wanli really didn't look like he could pass the state test, and from then on, their family could draw a line with the old Liu family.
Thinking of this, Liu Chenxing felt relieved.
He happily took the washbasin and poured cold water into the well water, and after the water was gentle, he washed his face with warm water and wiped his teeth with a coarse salt cloth.
Wash properly, the sky is only a little brighter, of course, it is impossible to waste this good morning to sort out the things sent to the old Liu family, Liu Chenxing did not change the daily routine, especially now that he worshiped Jiang Mo as a teacher, he practiced calligraphy more hard, so he took out the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, lit a bright oil lamp, knelt in his room to practice words for half an hour, and saw that the morning sun had bloomed in the white belly of the oriental fish belly outside the window, and she took the pen.
When I came to the main hall, the time was just right, and the food on the low table was set.
The high-standard dining etiquette of eating without saying anything and not saying anything, they still don't have this small farm yard, and it just so happened that there were unfinished words last night, and the family of five talked while eating with the morning food.
The children who are outside return home, the first few days of being a mother are always extra pampered, changing the method Zhang Luo delicious, Liu Shi can not escape a mother's heart, in the morning and Liu Grandma together a table to eat, fish fillet porridge, noodles, all kinds of steamed cakes several things, plus the leftovers that were not eaten last night, it is really like the New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and then eat leftovers for several days.
Ha ha!
But these are all full of love from Grandma and Grandma, Liu Chenxing still gave a lot of face, and then left Grandma Liu at home, and the family of four went to visit relatives and friends with gifts.
On the way to Lao Liu's house, he passed by Li Zheng'an Fusheng's house as usual, first sent the good wine he said yesterday, and also said that the family was going to Chang'an, and the rent of the family's field was donated to the village school, and he refused to let Li Zhengan Fusheng accompany him to Lao Liu's house, so he said goodbye and left.
If this is the case, it will be early in the morning when I go to the old house.
Uncle Liu knew that his second son's family would definitely come to the door today, otherwise even if his grandchildren were out, they would be splashed by the spittle stars in the village.
Thinking that their grandchildren and granddaughters are all jinshi, and they will be officials in the future, their old Liu family finally changed the lintel, which is much stronger than the eldest sister and brother who do business in the state city, thinking that Liu's heart is hot, and he can't sleep all night.
I simply didn't sleep, I dressed up before dawn, and I was looking forward to it at the gate of the hospital, but the morning passed, and I didn't see anyone, and I was so anxious that I was going to send my children and grandchildren to take a look, and finally saw that the second son's family was late.
Uncle Liu couldn't help but feel urgent again, so he hurried to meet him.
"Ah Xing! Castle peak! ”
