"Oh, by the way, mother, when I was in my mother's house, I often went to the private school when I was not working, the old gentleman was very good, and taught me a lot of words, Ji Han, Dandan and Tongtong didn't go to school? I thought that I would teach them to recognize a few words when I was free in the future, so that I would not be blind in the future. ”

Liu Meiniang said what she thought in her heart, this is something she has been thinking about for a long time, several children are so old that they can't help but read.

What she said was half-true and half-false, but when Liu Meiniang was in her mother's house before, she often went to the private school, and the old gentleman of the private school saw that Liu Meiniang was well-behaved, and often taught Liu Meiniang to recognize a few words, but Liu Meiniang was stupid and stupid, the old gentleman taught for a long time, and Liu Meiniang didn't learn much, and she didn't know most of the words when she took out the book.

But Liu Meiniang is already very satisfied, in this era, there are a few girls in the countryside who can read and write, just by virtue of this, Liu Meiniang is much better than her peers.

If this is placed in the city, it is indeed a proud thing, but if it is known in the village, it will only laugh at Liu Meiniang.

Therefore, when Liu Meiniang married into the Zhang family, she was afraid that the Zhang family would laugh at her, so she hid her literacy.

And she remembered that the old gentleman in her maiden village had already left, as if he had gone back to the county seat to retire, so no matter what she said, no one would know that she was lying.

"Sister-in-law, my eldest brother also taught us to read and write when he was at home before, but ......." Zhang Jihan stopped talking.

Liu Meiniang also wanted to get that Zhang Jilin joined the army, and the number of times he could go home a year was only a handful, and the time to teach them to read and write was even rarer. And Zhang Jilin may have learned it in the barracks, and he may not know how much he can teach the three children.

"When we have a free day, we will start to read." Liu Meiniang patted Zhang Jihan on the shoulder.

"Really, can you really read and write?" Zhang Jihan asked excitedly.

"Of course." Liu Meiniang said confidently.

Zhang Jihan was very happy in his heart, before he gambled and didn't do his job, but he still hoped that he would have a chance, but the family was like this, and no one cared about him, Zhang Li doted on him, and later, especially when Zhang Jirin died, the pillar of the family fell, Zhang Jihan also began to be confused, gambling, at first it was probably just a way to escape, he thought that if gambling could win money, the family would have a better life.

But there is no pie in the sky, gambling is nine out of ten bets, and in the end he doesn't want to gamble himself, but he is addicted to drugs, and he can't control himself.

"Wow, can I read and write? Sister-in-law, my eldest brother taught us to write our own names at that time, but we have forgotten now, can you teach me to write my name? Zhang Dandan pounced over and hugged Liu Meiniang's waist and said.

"Okay, you come out into the yard, and I'll write your names for you." Liu Meiniang was also interested, and took Zhang Jihan and Zhang Dandan to the courtyard, and Zhang Li also followed.

Liu Meiniang picked up a small stone in the yard and began to write.

"This is Dandan's name, this is yours." Liu Meiniang neatly wrote the names of the two children on the ground.

"Sister-in-law, your handwriting is better than the handwriting of your eldest brother." Zhang Dandan clapped his hands and said.

In fact, where could she see that Liu Meiniang's handwriting was better than Zhang Jihan's, but when Liu Meiniang just wrote, she suddenly became a little different, and it seemed to be better than usual, so Zhang Dandan said so.

"My sister-in-law's handwriting is beautiful." Zhang Jihan can still see a little way, the words that Zhang Jilin taught them before, Zhang Jihan still remembers, Liu Meiniang looks very skilled when she writes, and Zhang Jilin feels a little clumsy when she writes.

If Zhang Jihan knew the idiom, he would know that Liu Meiniang is called Xingyun Liushui.

"My name is hard to write." Zhang Jihan said with a bitter face. Why is his name harder to write than Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong's.

"Sister-in-law, the third sister's name is more than mine." Zhang Dandan pointed to the three skimmers behind Zhang Tongtong and said

"yes, because she's your sister?" Liu Meiniang touched Zhang Dandan's head and said a reason.

"Second brother, the third sister's name is harder to write than mine, your name is harder to write than the third sister's name, so is the eldest brother's name harder to write than yours?" Zhang Dandan seems to have discovered something.

"Big brother's name? Sister-in-law, can you write the name of the eldest brother? Zhang Jihan's eyes lit up and said.

"Huh?" For Zhang Jirin, Liu Meiniang really didn't have any impression, and the man who didn't even uncover her hijab on the wedding night, Liu Meiniang said that she didn't feel anything.

Although it is said that Zhang Jirin has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, long legs and good faces, looking at the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family, they can also think that Zhang Jirin is not far behind.

But because of him, Liu Meiniang not only became a widow, but also had to carry the livelihood of the family, if she hadn't come through, the original Liu Meiniang would either die or go to the Wang family to be a concubine, which of the two is a good result? Even if it doesn't happen, what good end can a cowardly person like Liu Meiniang have? Maybe even with the Zhang family, a big family, will not die well.

So Liu Meiniang not only has no feelings for Zhang Jirin, but even has some rejection.

However, Liu Meiniang also respects Zhang Jilin as a man, twenty years old, and he should be a college student in modern times, and he joined the army early to serve the country and sacrificed his life for the country, and he is also a hero.

"Is that so?" Liu Meiniang asked uncertainly after writing.

"It's this sister-in-law, I've seen my eldest brother write like this." Zhang Jihan said.

"Really?" Liu Meiniang asked. Looking at the words on the ground, Zhang Jirin, Liu Meiniang felt that it should be as her name suggests.

"Sister-in-law is amazing." Zhang Dandan clapped his hands and called.

"Then when we settle the fish matter, I'll teach you how to read." Liu Meiniang thought about it and said.

"Okay."

"That's good." Zhang Jihan and Zhang Tongtong were very happy.

Liu Meiniang swept the corner of her eyes, and saw a figure flashing on the window of Zhang Tongtong's room, Liu Meiniang lowered her head and a smile hooked up the corner of her mouth, it turned out that she had been eavesdropping on them, she thought that Xiao Nizi didn't care about anything.

"Oh, by the way, there's one in the river of worms, right?" Liu Meiniang remembered what happened before.

"Yes, sister-in-law, there are all in the river, but there are very few here in front of our door, and the shallow water in the middle of the river has the most insects, and the largest is so big." Zhang Jihan gestured.

Liu Meiniang's eyes brightened even more when she saw Zhang Jihan's gesture, what kind of treasure place is this, there are such big crabs, she originally thought that the river crabs were very small, but she didn't expect them to be so big.

"Tomorrow we're going to catch crabs, and I'll make them for you when we come back." Liu Meiniang clenched her little fists and said with bright eyes, she was finally able to eat something she liked to eat in her previous life.

After arriving here, she found that the food here is very monotonous, the staple food is only rice and noodles, and there are only a few kinds of dishes.

Thinking of so many delicious foods in her previous life, Liu Meiniang couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and when she had free time, she must do it all. Hot pot rice, large plate chicken, barbecue cake oden.

"Okay......." Zhang Jihan was obviously not very interested, because no one in the village had eaten that thing, and he was already past the age of playing with human worms, so if he went to the river to catch it tomorrow, he should be ridiculed by his friends in the same village.

But seeing Liu Meiniang's determined look, Zhang Jihan was embarrassed to disagree, forget it, just try it once, if you can't eat it, your sister-in-law shouldn't catch it.

But Zhang Dandan is very happy, the insect is ugly, there are few girls in the village who like that thing, and there are naughty boys who will catch the insect to scare the girl, although Zhang Jihan is unreliable, but he protects his sister well, so no one has scared Zhang Dandan with the insect yet.

Another reason is that the place where the Zhang family lives is too far away from the center of the village, and few friends will find Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong to play.

Zhang Dandan, as a die-hard fan of Liu Meiniang, as long as it is Liu Meiniang's suggestion, Zhang Dandan will probably agree.

After the discussion was over, they went their separate ways.

After everyone left, Zhang Tongtong came out of the room, walked to the place where Liu Meiniang wrote before, and squatted down to look at his name carefully.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Liu Meiniang packed up the silkworm chrysalis and went up the mountain.

"Let's divide out a part of the fish first, wait to feed them silkworm chrysalis, and after a while, if there is no problem, we will start to use silkworm chrysalis to raise fish."

"Okay."

Zhang Jihan also carefully picked out some of each type of fish, and Liu Meiniang secretly laughed.

Liu Meiniang poured the silkworm chrysalis and silkworm sand in the sieve into the enclosed fish pond, and the small fish immediately rushed to pounce, and the silkworm sand and silkworm pupa were soon surrounded by a large area of fish.

"Sister-in-law, they are all rushing to eat." Zhang Dandan pointed to the fish in the water, but he didn't expect the fish to really eat these.

"Hmm." Liu Meiniang was not surprised.

"Sister-in-law, when will they grow up?" Zhang Dandan tilted his head and asked.

"Soon." Liu Meiniang also doesn't know how long it will take for the fish to grow up.

After returning from feeding the fish on the mountain, it was still early, Liu Meiniang turned to the house and got a basket, and asked Zhang Jihan to take it to catch crabs.

"Let's catch the worms." Zhang Dandan ran the fastest and walked in the front.

Liu Meiniang followed behind with a basket in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, catch one." Zhang Jihan pulled up his trouser legs and bent over to stand in the river, the river water was crystal clear, and it didn't reach Zhang Jihan's knees.

Zhang Jihan lifted a big rock in the river and saw a crab underneath.

Zhang Jihan cautiously approached the crab and reached out to grab the crab.

Liu Meiniang heard Zhang Jihan's voice and immediately handed over the basket.

"Wow, that's such a big one." Liu Meiniang screamed in surprise when she saw the crabs in the basket. The crab in the basket that Zhang Jihan caught was the size of a fist, and it was naturally pollution-free.

Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Jihan to catch five or six crabs, but she didn't dare to catch too many, wouldn't it be a waste if everyone didn't eat them if they caught them.

"Bring it." Liu Meiniang reached out by the river and washed several handfuls of aquatic plants, which were just used to tie up crabs.

"Sister-in-law, are we going to eat this at night?" Zhang Dandan stretched out his hand and poked it on the crab, and then quickly retracted it.

"Guaranteed delicious." Liu Meiniang stared at the crabs in the basket and said, several ways to make crabs had come to mind.

Liu Meiniang made a steamed crab, only adding minced garlic to it, which can well ensure the umami of the crab.

At first, several people didn't dare to eat it, but the smell was really fragrant, Zhang Dandan was the first to reach out and pick up a piece of crab meat and put it in his mouth.

"How?" Zhang Jihan swallowed his saliva and asked.

Zhang Dandan did not answer, but reached out and grabbed another chopstick.

"It's delicious." Zhang Dandan said vaguely.

"Who knows if it's poisonous or not, you better eat less!" Zhang Tongtong stood at the door of the hall and said coolly.

"Third sister, it's really delicious, you can try it too." Zhang Dandan turned his head and said seriously.

"Hmph, I don't eat that, I look so ugly, I'm afraid of being poisoned......" Zhang Tongtong didn't continue. Holding his hands, he looked coldly at the few people eating crabs.

She wouldn't admit that she was attracted by the scent of crabs.

"If you don't eat it, forget it, can you stop talking nonsense." Zhang Jihan said angrily, how could he forget to take the crabs made by Liu Meiniang and feed them to dogs or chickens, in case they are really poisonous...... But it's too late now, Zhang Dandan has already eaten.

"Dandan. Is there anything uncomfortable? Zhang Jihan looked at Liu Meiniang and asked in a low voice.

"Second brother, it's really delicious." Zhang Dandan spoke, and his movements did not stop.

Seeing Zhang Dandan's appearance, Zhang Jihan was also relieved and began to eat crabs.

The taste of crabs is different from fish and shrimp, Zhang Jihan's eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't expect the crabs to look so ugly, but they tasted good.

"Mother, you taste it." Liu Meiniang couldn't hold back a smile and sandwiched a piece of crab meat for Zhang Li's family.

"Mother, it's delicious." Zhang Dandan nodded heavily and said.

"Hey, I'll try it." Seeing that several people were very happy to eat, Zhang Li was also moved.

Zhang Tongtong watched several people eat crabs, and stomped their feet angrily and left the hall.

It's crazy, you dare to eat anything, if it's poisonous, what can you do, Liu Meiniang is a harmful spirit.

Zhang Tongtong returned to his room, paying attention to the movement of the hall, if ...... She immediately went to invite Langzhong in the village. But until the meal was almost finished, Zhang Tongtong didn't hear the sound of anyone being poisoned.

Can the worm really eat it? Zhang Tongtong was puzzled.

There are a total of six crabs, and Liu Meiniang, the person who likes to eat crabs the most, eats the least.
