Chapter 35: Prepare for the admission of the amber son
On the second day, Shi Yong and Pearl went to plant trees for Liuli as usual, and the remaining saplings were all loaded in half a day.
Seeing that Shi Yong was far away, Liuli sneakily pulled the pearl into the inner room.
"What is so mysterious?" Pearl was still strange, only to listen to Liuli said: "What I said last time, big sister can you remember?" ”
"What do you say...... Pearl suddenly remembered, and immediately blushed, "remember, remember." ”
"Tell me more about it."
Seeing that her sister was so eager, Pearl also detailed her record of the past two months: "Last month came on the eighteenth day, and I went on the twenty-third day. Last month, it was the fifteenth day, and the nineteenth was gone......"
After listening to her, Liuli waved her fingers and began to calculate, with words in her mouth, and after a while, she said: "This time it is estimated that it will be the twentieth day, and it will stay until next month, and the eldest sister will choose the third to twelfth days of junior high school with her brother-in-law... Ahem... Got it? ”
"Know, know......" Pearl was also flushed.
Liulifu explained: "The big sister must follow the days I said, and then remember to tell me the small days of each month, and I will count the days for the big sister every month in the future." ”
The date calculated by the glass is also the ovulation period and the fertile date, I hope it will help the pearl.
The two talked for a while, and Liuli also told the eldest sister about sending Amber to school, and Pearl was full of approval, and she had to take the money out to help, and was pushed back by Liuli.
"I'm stupid, I went to the street the day after tomorrow to buy things for Amber, and pulled a few feet of cloth back to my big sister to cut clothes."
"Hey, it's okay, they're all scholars, and they should have two bodies and clothes." Pearl agreed.
On this day, the three sisters and brothers of the Song family got up early to freshen up and rushed to Xingping Town in the morning light.
First went to the cloth shop and pulled a few feet of new cloth, and the two colors of navy blue and light gray were pointed out by Amber himself.
Then I went to the butcher shop to cut two catties of mutton, found a hawker to buy a pheasant, and then went to the famous "Ding Kee Restaurant" in the town to buy two fine snacks, and finally made two pots of rice wine.
Except for the new cloth to make clothes for Amber, the rest are used as Amber's apprenticeship, plus the canned food made by himself, the ceremony is not thin.
These things can't be bought in one place, and the three of them walked around Xingping Town in circles, and a morning passed.
The little coral girl only thought that they had come to the town to play, but at this time she was hungry, but she couldn't go around anyway.
"Second sister, let's have some food."
"Okay." Liuli took a look, and it happened that next to it was the largest restaurant in the city - "Feihongju".
She has been in ancient times for so long, she has not been in the restaurant, she used to have no money, and then she became rich, but she was busy with business all day long.
It was noon, the restaurant guests gathered, bustling, running around through the hall, serving, greeting, singing harmony one after another, Liuli three chose a corner to sit down, and someone immediately stepped forward to greet him.
The three of them were hungry, listening to Xiao Er's fluent report the name of the dish - fat chicken and cabbage, three fresh soups, jade fish soup, and a product of roasted mutton...... Gu is a cross-stream of saliva.
ordered two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and Liuli suddenly said: "Why don't you have a pork dish?" ”
"The pork is fishy, we don't make it in the restaurant", the guy smiled, "There is a good braised beef, but the three of you want to try it?" ”
"There's beef?" Liuli is a little surprised, nowadays ploughing cattle is an important agricultural resource, private individuals can not be slaughtered at will, old and dead cattle also have a special department responsible for processing, so the flow of beef into the people is very little.
"Exactly, in the restaurants all over the city, our beef is the best."
"Then let's have a plate and try it."
"Feihongju" is worthy of being the first largest restaurant in Xingping Town, the food is served quickly, and the taste is also good, especially this braised beef, which is strong and mellow, and it is not much worse than the beef that Liuli has eaten in the previous life.
After a meal, they were full of wine and food, but the three of them were a little unsatisfied, for no other reason, the three of them ordered these dried vegetables and soups, but only one was missing.
"Second sister, I kind of want to eat the Dongpo meat you made." Coral is honest.
"I'll eat with you tonight." Liuli also thought a little, the white rice is drizzled with fragrant gravy, and that is a perfect match.
After the meal, the three of them went to buy some pork, pork is cheap, but not many people buy it, mainly because there is no "woodcutter pig" in this era, and the pork raised has a fishy smell.
Fortunately, the Dongpo meat made by himself has been treated with ginger and rice wine, and the fishy smell has been reduced a lot, and the seasoning is more, and the taste of the dish itself is heavy, and naturally it is impossible to eat the bad taste on the side.
I wonder if this Dongpo meat will be popular if it is taken out and sold?
In a trance, Liuli didn't think deeply, and the three of them wandered to a study that sold the four treasures of the study.
"Let's go in and buy some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones." Liuli Road.
"What do you do with this Rausch?" Coral was full of disdain.
Liuli couldn't help but scratch the little girl's nose: "Silly girl, you don't love those, your amber brother has to read and write." ”
"Huh?" Coral was shocked, "Brother Amber is going to study?" ”
"Otherwise, what do you think we're here for today?" Ruri is funny.
"It's strange to buy so much food." Coral suddenly realized that she thought she had bought it all for her own family, and then she was happy for her brother: "Oh oh! My brother can study. ”
Playing together for two days, Coral also knows a little bit about Amber's thoughts, and I'm really happy for Amber at the moment.
"Second sister, don't worry, I must study hard and be literate, so that I am not like Shi Guibao." Amber said solemnly.
Shi Guibao is the name of the son of the second sister-in-law of the pearl, Li, as the only grandson of the Shi family, Lao Ziniang hopes that he will study and become a talent, and glorify his ancestors, so he sent it to Han Xiucai's enlightenment early, not wanting this child to be born and not like to read, only went for a day, and then cried and refused to go.
"Sister knows your thoughts, let's go in and pick up some pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Liuli pulled the two children in, brushes, inkstones, inkstones, and rice paper were all picked up, and I was going to buy a book basket again, but Liuli picked and picked it up, and felt that this thing was still bigger, and the shape of a small doll in Amber was not suitable for backing.
So I simply went to the cloth shop again, pulled two feet of burlap, and thought about going back to sew a simple schoolbag for Amber.
The next day, Liuli carried the things she bought and took Amber to visit Han Xiucai.
As soon as this big bag was put up, people knew her intention without opening her mouth.
"My amber son is now 7 years old, and I want him to follow Mr. Han to read and write, and ask Mr. Han to accept him."
"Hmm", Han Xiucai nodded slightly, and said to Amber, "Have you ever read words?" ”
"No, I didn't." Amber replied honestly.
"It's a little late to be enlightened at the age of 7", Han Xiucai seemed to think a little, "Okay, just come to me to learn, although I am not a great Confucian in the world, it is okay to teach a hand." ”
"Yes, thank you, teacher." Hu Zi said, kowtowed to Han Xiucai according to the ceremony, and gave the teacher tea.
"This idea is not a tribute, and I ask Mr. Han to accept it with a smile." Liuli spoke at the right time.
"Well, I have a heart." Han Xiucai nodded reservedly, drank Amber's apprenticeship tea, and had his own reading high.
The daughter-in-law of the Han family was more emotionally exposed, and she smiled when she received the apprenticeship ceremony that Liuli was much thicker than that of others, and then learned that Shu Yu actually gave 500 money, and the enthusiasm for treating Liuli and several people rose by a dimension.
Other people's apprenticeships are two or three hundred yuan, and there are even those who are stingy, and there are also those who take the apprenticeship directly and do not give them restraints, and the villagers are really not good at turning people away.
Now that you have received such a heavy gift and restraint, how can you not teach it well?
After the apprenticeship ceremony, five days later, Amber officially came here to study with Han Xiucai, and the two went home.
Liuli took advantage of the past few days to make a schoolbag for Amber, which was the style of the old schoolbag in the seventies and eighties of the previous life, and a thick bag was carried cross-body.
There are two small bags on the outside of a large bag, the capacity of the large bag is very large, which can hold books and papers without folding and damage, and the small bag can hold some odds and ends.
In addition, an inner bag was sewn that could be used to hold valuables such as silver coins.
At the same time, Pearl was also rushing to make new clothes for Amber, and finally finished it before entering school, and sent it to Amber in an early morning.
Amber put on the new clothes made by the eldest sister, carried the "schoolbag" sewn by the second sister, and embarked on his study journey with the blessings of the younger sister Sango.
The three of them sent people directly to the door of Han Xiucai's house, and watched him enter the door, so they hurried back slowly.
"Why do you feel that our family is deserted all of a sudden." Liuli couldn't help but sigh, she now kind of understood why the parents who sent their children to school for the first time in her previous life secretly shed tears.
"Second sister, my brother came back for dinner at noon." Coral pierced in one word.
Liuli's melancholy mood suddenly disappeared, and she pointed at the little coral girl and couldn't speak.
Pearl is still busy at home, and after sitting for a while, she will go back.
"Big sister, wait", Liuli said, and then sent the little coral girl, "Go and see if there is any water in the chicken coop?" ”
Coral answered and went out, and Liuli lowered her voice and asked Pearl, "How is the big sister these days, have you done what I said?" ”
Pearl saw her send Liuli out and knew what she was going to ask, naturally it was the matter of having sex with her husband on a specific day as she had said before, but Shi Yong often had to go to the town to deliver tofu because of the tofu sold at home, and sometimes she had to stay outside, and she couldn't do it when the man wasn't at home.
Pearl shook her head and explained in a whisper, Liuli was also helpless, no matter how accurate her calculation was, the two had no chance to get close, and everything was out of the question.
How can I get my sister and brother-in-law to spend more time together? I can't let my sister follow her brother-in-law around every day, Liuli thought about what to do......
