Chapter Eighty-Five: Countryside and Charm
Lan Ya waved her hand again and again: "Brother Qingshi, you are a person who asks questions in college, and you will take the autumn exam at the end of next year, and you want to be a talented master." You can tell me your name, and I can buy it. ”
Liu Qingshi smiled and waved his hand as he walked: "What are you doing with it?" The literacy post from my childhood is still there, and I'll give it to you. ”
Lan Ya wanted to stop it, but she slapped herself in the mouth with remorse.
Li Zheng Yu Chengguo had this kind of worry when he bought a house by himself, but as soon as he came back, he got into trouble with the "village grass", and he couldn't get rid of it if he wanted to.
Liu Qingshi quickly turned around, holding a very thin booklet, and he could smell the good smell of ink on it from a distance.
Liu Qingshi's white finger pointed to the three words on the cover and said: "Lan Ya, this is the three words 'Child's Classic', students will memorize it when they are enlightened, come, I will teach you to read it." ”
"The beginning of chaos, the beginning of the ...... of the universe" is clear and thorough, making people feel indescribably comfortable.
Lan Ya looked at the words in the clouds, only to feel that her head was about to explode, and she turned her brain quickly, integrating the cumbersome words with the simplified characters in her memory as much as possible, and she couldn't wait to use pinyin to mark the scale.
The two of them only read half a page, and then they heard Liu Xiucai's coughing sound next door, and the two ignored it at first, coughing one after another, almost coughing out their lungs.
Liu Qingshi embarrassedly handed the book to Lan Ya, and said with a red face: "Lan Ya, you recognize this half page of words first, and remember to ask me if you forget." ”
Liu Xiucai was anxious when he heard it next door, and couldn't help but shout: "Qingshi, quickly pack your bags, report to the Seven Star Academy tomorrow, study diligently, shine on the lintel, don't be bothered by irrelevant people." ”
Lan Ya's face darkened, this Liu Xiucai regarded himself as a vixen who did not give up on his son.
Looking at Liu Qingshi, who blushed into the sunset, Lan Ya couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Qingshi, don't worry, these words are enough for me to learn for a while, if you can't, I'll make a mark, and I'll ask you when you are resting." ”
Liu Qingshi handed the book to Lan Ya in a precious way, and returned home in a trance.
Sitting in front of the bookcase, holding a book, a page of the book was read for an afternoon, but not a word entered the eyelids.
What comes to mind is the picture of the two of them next to each other when they are reading, and the side face of the little girl is like the most beautiful peony flower in the dusk, scattered with soft dizziness, and her heart is like a deer.
With a slight squint, you can see the little girl's good-looking eyelashes, slender fingers, and thinking eyebrows.
The man was stunned again, I don't know why this word suddenly appeared, and the strange thing is that he couldn't come up with a word to refute it, and the township and the charm were completely compatible.
......
Watching Liu Qingshi leave, Lan Ya shook her head blankly, returned to the house, washed the ripe pestles, and shared one for each person.
Seeing that everyone was eating sweetly, Lan Ya said: "Dad, mother, this tree full of persimmons, no matter how you eat them, you can't eat them all, some of them are ripe, and it's a pity to throw them away." I wanted to make a persimmon, and I made it and could last for the winter. “
The whole family was convinced of Lan Ya's ability to make money, and early the next morning, Lan Ya assigned the task.
Yu Sanguang was responsible for pulling rope nets between the trees and Liu Qingshi's large bluestone wall.
Orchid Bud is responsible for picking persimmons on the tree, and Hai's, Orchid and Orchid are responsible for peeling persimmons with knives.
When picking persimmons, it is necessary to pick a large persimmon that is harder, and to leave two or three one-inch long branches at the tail, so that it can be hung directly between the rope strands, which is effortless and convenient.
At first, it took some effort, but slowly it became faster and faster, and after a while, several yellow, orange, and bulging fruit bunches were hung, like the big red lanterns hanging high during the festival, which was indescribably gratifying.
Hai was so tired that he stood up and straightened his waist, Lan Duo hung his back sensibly, but Lan Xiang refused to stop, and his head was stuffy.
At this time, Yue's unique loud voice came from the gate of the courtyard, and he laughed and said: "Donghua, why don't you squeak when you go back to the village, let's help you pick up, and when we know that it's late spring, others still have to think about me and be lazy." ”
Liu smiled and stood side by side with her, followed by Liu Yuan, Liu Hong, and Yue's niece Yulu.
Hai Shi hurriedly wiped his hands with a towel, came out to greet a few people, and Liu Yuan and Yulu handed over the stove gift respectively.
Gyokuro handed over a string of coarse porcelain bowls, about seven or eight;
What Liu Yuan gave was a set of knives and a piece of pork, the knife was shining, and it looked like it was grinding quickly, and the pig looked like five or six catties.
Liu smiled: "Third sister-in-law, you can't be angry. When I said that when I sent the knife, Yuan'er and his father said that it was not good, it was the meaning of 'one knife and two cuts', but I thought that practicality was good, so why not say more? Yuan'er and his father always beat these things, and the blacksmith shop used good materials, so the knife was naturally better. ”
Hai Shi glared at Liu Shi and said, "If you say that one knife and two cuts are broken, then why are you still here?" ”
After a few people finished making a noise, Liu looked up at the big rhubarb prickly hanging on his side in disbelief, and said strangely: "Third sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Hanging a lantern? ”
Lan Ya jumped down from the tree with a smile, and Liu Hong was frightened, but Liu Yuan and Liu were not surprised, and it was rare that Yue was not surprised.
Lan Ya tore a small hole in a few ripe persimmons as if they were handed to Liu Qingshi, handed one to each person, and said: "Auntie, my mother is worried that she can't catch the work, and several people who work at once came, and I can finally take a breath." ”
Yue's laughed when he heard this: "Okay, let me work every day, as long as I eat and drink." ”
Hai replied: "I'm afraid that you are tired and running, the work assigned by Lan Ya is not easy." Ya'er said to make cakes, and you should also learn a little bit and make a moraine in winter. “
Yue Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't want to learn, I will suffer from what I will suffer, if you want to eat me, come and eat ready-made." ”
Hearing this sentence made Lan Ya surprised, Yue's was clear-eyed, and understood that the other party was polite, this kind of secret recipe kind of thing, I am afraid that it will not be able to be passed on, just like the peanut sticky in the old house of the Yu family, and now it is selling well, and the little merchant goes to buy it every day.
Cake is not a difficult thing to get, mainly storage has some tricks, aside from the storage, when the persimmon harvest next year, the people who plant the cake will be able to study the drying method, and sell it for two years of freshness.
Lan Ya smiled: "Auntie, it's okay, all the pestles on your tree will be taken to my house to get it, I will not only teach you how to do it, but also teach you how to seal it and help you sell it, as long as you can trust me, I will also cover it, who let you help my family." ”
Lan Ya This refers to whenever there is something in the family, the spicy lady of the Yue family intervenes everywhere to help.
Yue grabbed Lan Ya's arm in disbelief and said excitedly: "Ya'er, what you said is true?" ”
Yulu felt ashamed and pulled her aunt's hand and pointed to Lan Ya's wrist, and Yue Shi realized that because of his nervousness, he actually scratched Lan Ya's slender wrist red.
I couldn't help but say: "Look at me excited, persimmons are like this for a while, they will rot when they are ripe, and it is good to be able to sell them for a penny. ”
Hurriedly asked Yulu to go home to get the knife, and informed the family to transport persimmons to Yu's house.
Lan Ya smiled: "Auntie, you are really impatient." ”
Yue's embarrassed stretched out his tongue and said: "No way, who let this persimmon rot faster and faster day by day, it's okay, transport it first, I promise to finish the buds on the tree in the morning, and my family will continue to get it in the afternoon, my tree is small, and it is only half of our family." ”
It's really a fiery temperament, and it's really unambiguous to do the work, just get started, the speed is faster than Hai's and Lanxiang, and a few people are working together, and their hands are flying.
Seeing that the pestle was almost finished, Lan Ya jumped up the tree again.
Liu Yuan saw that the speed of picking the orchid buds could not keep up with the speed of peeling, and he also climbed the tree to pick persimmons.
There are many people who are really good at work, and before noon, only some of the trees of the Yu family are too ripe, and the rest are too soft, and the rest are dried.
As soon as a few people rested, Yue's man Yue Nan, his son Yue Lin, and daughter-in-law Xiao Yue's came with a basket on their backs, and several women started the "peeling action" again, and Yu Sanguang pulled a net again, which was different from his own.
Lan Ya saw that there were a lot of people, and he was busy going to the room to take a look, only a piece of fat meat that Liu Shi took, and now fifteen or sixteen people are eating, obviously the dishes are insufficient, Lan Ya picked up the basket and prepared to go up the mountain to hunt a pheasant or duck to eat.
Lan Ya even began to regret that when she went to save Hai Shi, why didn't she ask Zhuo Xiaoran to help her take off the dead tiger skin, which was fifty taels of silver.
Now I was stupidly crying by myself, and I gave up dozens of taels of silver gorgeously, which was completely unreasonable, and it was not at all in line with my IQ, so I sighed, sure enough, when I met Zhuo Xiaoran's self, my brain was obviously in a state of death.
Seeing that she was going up the mountain, Liu Yuan followed behind him and said with a smile: "I have also seen you for a long time." ”
Seeing that it was not too late, Liu Yuan prayed again, and Lan Ya let him follow.
Smoothly came to the migratory pond, handed the net and basket to Liu Yuandao: "Brother Liu Yuan, if you can swim, swim deep and net some fish; If not, catch some frogs and shrimp on the edge of the reeds, and I'll walk upstream, not far, to see if I can catch ducks. If a beast comes, hide in the house immediately, and leave me alone, I have my own way. ”
After being dormant for most of the day, Lan Ya, who had not found the duck, was finally about to vomit blood, and he didn't even see the shadow of a duck, let alone catch the duck back.
She was sure and sure in her heart that Wang Anshi was determined to catch ducks on a large scale, so scared that the ducks either migrated or their numbers dropped sharply, and finally they didn't even see a duck egg.
If he returned empty-handed, Lan Ya was really a little ashamed to face Liu Yuan's adoring gaze, and ashamed to face the embarrassment of a large group of people who only ate one dish.
Lan Ya was ruthless and gradually leaned towards the mountain.
