But this child is not a loss to be taught by Erlang of the Zeng family, he has always been as calm as the second brother of Zeng, although he yearns for it in his heart, he does not squeak, and only looks at Banniang.

The eighth aunt looks the most well-behaved, but Jue'er knows that she is hidden under the well-behaved coat, but she is a boy-like naughty and mischievous character. As soon as the fifth uncle said this, she would definitely choose to go to the village, and she usually knew the things she took with her little ten aunts and Xuan'er in the back garden.

It is said that if Zeng Banniang knew that Jue'er looked at her like this, she might be able to introduce this nephew, who is usually silent but has a pair of poisonous eyes, as a knower. Joke, she was raised as a famous lady in her previous life, there is no need to live a new life, and continue to be a famous lady, right?

Sure enough, Banniang said: "Go to the village, if you can really catch a few fish, touch a few catties of shrimp, and add a few good dishes to the family tomorrow, isn't my father in poor health, go back and stew fish soup for my father." ”

With her words, the brothers and sisters of the Great Song Dynasty who pay attention to filial piety naturally can't say the word "no". So the group walked around and played, kicked the stones on the side of the road, picked a few wild flowers, and then picked willow branches to weave two hats that were not like four, or looked for a few stone chips to play a few water drifts, Shiro only smiled and watched, but Goro was playing happily, and when he arrived at the nearest village to the west, it was already three stalks.

Along the way, I didn't feel it while walking, and when I entered the village, I felt that the soles of my feet hurt, Banniang couldn't help but be glad that she was wearing soft and comfortable embroidered shoes, and she didn't wrap her feet so pervertedly, although her feet were a little sore, but she could stand it.

Qi Niang's body is better than her, and she does housework at home on weekdays, and she feels more relaxed than Ba Niang.

When I entered the village, I saw several families standing in a patchwork as far as the eye could see. Because it is not too far from the city, these people should be able to get by, even if it is a dirt house and a firewood courtyard, most of them are clean and tidy, and there are even many people with blue bricks and red tiles with a large courtyard.

Mo on the grass, the red flowers on the wall, sometimes there are chickens and dogs barking, and there are villagers in cloth clothes and short arrows on the path occasionally, the villagers see this line of five people, but also nod and smile, it is a greeting, it seems that the folk customs are very simple.

If you can also be in such a beautiful place, put some fields, live an idyllic life, look at the distant mountains and green daisies every day, blow the wild wind in the countryside, the head of the city in the early morning, become a rooster to urge more, and then pick the morning dew, watch the sunset full of sky, cooking smoke, Weng Yuan laughing, what a beautiful Tianyuan life?

Banniang was thinking about it infinitely, and Jue'er had already asked a practical question: "Fourth uncle and fifth uncle? In another few hours, it will be noon, how will our meal be solved? Didn't you say you still had to go fishing for shrimp? But we didn't have any tools, did we? ”

Sure enough, it was a baby who had never seen the world, Gorou slapped Jue'er's head, and just happened to face an old man who walked over with a hoe, Gorou smiled on his face, and stepped forward to be a long series, and said with a smile: "This old man, our brother and sister are from Nanfeng City, and we see that this village is close to the city, so come and take a look, it is almost noon at this time, lunch has not yet landed, and I am tired and hungry when I go, I don't know where to beg for saliva to drink?" ”

The old man is looking down and thinking about this spring's farming, the wheat in the more than 20 acres of land at home is growing well, thinking that the harvest should be good, and he can also pay the bundle of repairs owed by the two grandsons, and the soybeans that are in early spring at this time are also tender, and when he comes back today, he will put a few soybean seedlings, and he can also peel a bowl of tender edamame, and relieve the children's hunger. The two little ladies should be the younger sister of the family, and a little baby, although several people are wearing half-worn clothes, but they are also silk, and very neat, all of them are very beautiful, and they stand there neatly, with a smile in their eyebrows and eyes, and they are the people who came out of the painting against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery of the idyllic late spring.

The old farmer already had a good impression in his heart, so he pointed to a firewood earthen house not far away and said with a smile: "If a few brothers and sisters don't give up, that is the old man's home, and the old man will lead a few people over to drink a bowl of water?" ”

Gorou hurriedly thanked: "I've delayed my uncle's business, I'm really grateful." ”

The old farmer smiled: "Brother don't have to be polite, the old man's surname is Liu, the people in the village call me Old Man Liu, and my brother also calls me Lao Shen, the old man is not serious, but he is a farmer, and he likes to go around the field when he is idle." How did a few brothers think of running to our Guzhuang Liulai? ”

It turns out that this village is called Guzhuang Liu, but it is an ancient name, and it is picturesque, which is really popular.

Wulang replied: "Back to Uncle Liu's words, isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow?" So come out to hang out, but also to see the scenery of the countryside, but also to pick some money and wormwood and other Dragon Boat Festival supplies, so that you can go home and use, this is picked by yourself, and bought on the street, it feels different to use, and it is more sincere. ”

Uncle Liu led the way in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't have to run more, in our village, there are some fragrant mugwort leaves by the river, and there are them by the river in the back room of my house, and when the time comes, the brothers and sisters will pick some back by themselves." ”

In a blink of an eye, in front of the small courtyard, Uncle Liu opened the bamboo fence firewood door, and saw a young man in his twenties in a short cloth shirt with his back to the firewood door.

Uncle Liu beckoned a few people: "Please come in," and shouted into the house, "Dog eggs, iron eggs, come out quickly, there are guests coming to the house, go wash a few clean bowls, and bring some water." ”

I heard a loud children's voice in the room answer: "Hey, grandpa, the iron egg is coming." ”

As soon as the words fell, a whirlwind rushed out of a ten-year-old boy, saw a room of people, and a little lady, he was stunned there with a red face, because he was barearmed, and rushed into the house like a whirlwind, put on a short shirt, and then came out, Uncle Liu laughed and scolded: "A dead baby, there are guests coming, and I don't know how to be decent." He turned back to Qi Niang and said, "Don't mind, two little ladies, Zhuang Hu children, don't know the rules." ”

Qi Niang hurriedly shook her head and smiled, indicating that she didn't mind.

The iron egg touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Grandpa, Goudan and Liulang of the Zhang Xian family went to the edge of the village to fish, and Tie Dan went to boil water first." ”

Banniang didn't care about this, and was looking at the young man holding a planer, standing in the middle of a pile of shavings and sawdust, smelling the familiar woody fragrance, Banniang couldn't help but move forward. It's probably because the little girl has been doing it for a long time, and a "good uncle" almost rushed out of her mouth, and then she thought about herself in her previous life, maybe she was older than others, and she was very ashamed of her shameless behavior of pretending to be a young Luoli, besides, this person is the son of the old man at first glance, and the father is called uncle, and this time he is called uncle? Doesn't it mess up the generations?

coughed, laughed at himself, Uncle Liu wanted to bring a few people into the house, but Wulang felt that this small farm yard was more interesting, an old mulberry tree in the courtyard, the tree was full of purple mulberries, it seemed that he could pick one down to satisfy his hunger as soon as he stretched out his hand, and the wall of the bamboo fence courtyard was crawling with loofahs and tender gourds, as well as roses, and there were scattered all kinds of small flowers on the ground, including bellflowers, and gardenias that were full of desire, and it seemed that the fragrance of the gardenia could be smelled now.

Under the old mulberry tree there are tables and low stools. Just sitting and drinking tea.

Gorou said: "Uncle, let's sit in the yard, just walked all the way, it's a little hot, and the wind can blow in the yard, it's cooler." ”

The family is poor, and the house is not very hospitable, seeing a few people wanting to rest in the courtyard, Uncle Liu is also happy. I invited a few people to sit down, and said with a smile: "Didn't a few brothers say that they wanted to find someone to have lunch?" It's a pity that the old woman of the old family went to the girl's house in the other village to go to her relatives, and my neighbor is also a clean family, although a few brothers do not dislike it, and go back to the old man to talk to his aunt Zhang next door. That aunt Zhang is hospitable, and she is willing to come, and a few brothers are guests, and if they can come to our village, they can also look up to our village. ”

These two older brothers are scholars at first glance. Jiangxi's literary style is prosperous, which is not comparable to other places in the Great Song Dynasty, so the scholars are the most respected.

Banniang wanted to stay at Uncle Liu's house, so she looked at Wulang, Wulang knew it, and said with a smile: "If Uncle Liu doesn't bother us, let's eat at Uncle Liu's house, my two younger sisters can cook, and as for the cost of eating, we will also pay Uncle Liu." ”

When he said this, Uncle Liu glared: "Look at what my brother said, is my old man Liu still reluctant to eat that little food?" What money is mentioned? This is looking down on our villagers, and we don't have any good ones, but it's just a matter of spending some rice, oil, and vegetables. My brother doesn't dislike my family, he just gives me face to Old Man Liu, then I'll invite Aunt Zhang over to help cook, and I'll eat and cook it. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang is only one person, and she lives with a grandson. ”

Gorou apologized repeatedly: "Uncle misunderstood, Xiaosheng didn't mean that." ”

Uncle Liu waved his hand: "It's so decided, it's at my house." Then he shouted into the stove room, "Tiedan, you boil water quickly, don't make a few distinguished guests wait for a long time." ”

He also instructed the young man who was standing there with a planer and did not squeak: "Erlang, you help your father take care of a few guests." I'll go to Aunt Zhang's house, and then go to the field to pick up some vegetables, and I'll be back in a while. ”

As he spoke, he went with a smile.

The young man was obviously not as good at words as his father, he only touched his head, looked at a few people shyly smiled, walked over, wiped the bench with his sleeve, and invited a few people to sit down. After a few people sat down, Liu Erlang said: "A few brothers sit down for a while, and the iron egg will be able to serve tea in a while, I, I still have to rush to work, so I won't accompany a few." ”

After speaking, he stood in front of the wooden cai placed on the bench, took the ink cartridge, set the line, and planed it.

Banniang couldn't help but feel itchy, and walked to the young man's side, because she heard that Uncle Liu called him Erlang before, and asked with a smile: "Second Brother Liu, do you know how to work as a carpenter?" ”

Isn't this nonsense?

Liu Erlang threw himself on Mu Cai, he was very careful, and he just glanced at her when he heard the words, and said in his heart, What do you know about a little lady of a doll? He let out a casual "um".
