"Hey, don't worry, mother, I will be obedient." Shen Wentao responded with a smile and untied the oil paper bag in his hand: "I bought some candied fruit and came back for my younger brothers and sisters to eat, I was going to give some to Sister Xiangmiao, but Sister Xiangmiao also bought some herself, so she didn't want me." ”

"Even if you have a conscience, think about your younger brothers and sisters." Zhang said with a smile: "Sister Xiangmiao, don't want it, if you have rare food to eat again, you can send it back, this time it is also a loss to your Sister Xiangmiao, otherwise this cage is afraid that it will be smashed in your hand, and you will have to remember your Sister Xiangmiao's good in the future, understand?" ”

"Well, don't worry, mother, my father always says that people should know how to repay their kindness, and I remember it!" Shen Wentao nodded vigorously and tugged on Zhang's sleeve: "Mother, let's go home for dinner, after running all morning, my stomach is drumming." ”

"Okay, go home and eat." Zhang patted Shen Wentao's head and rushed to Lu: "Second sister-in-law, Wen Tao and I went back to dinner." ”

Lu and Shen Xiangmiao were watching Tie Dan write in the house, and after hearing the movement, Lu went out to see off Zhang and Shen Wentao, and Shen Xiangmiao continued to stay in the house to watch.

Tie Dan is writing the three-character scripture silently, he has just learned to read and write, he can not write much, and he is not good at writing, but he is very serious, sitting upright, meticulously, holding his breath and concentrating, and writing stroke by stroke.

At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their habits are far away.

After writing such a sentence, Tie Dan let go of his problem: "How does my sister read what I wrote?" ”

Shen Xiangmiao looked at it carefully, and the pen and pen were very rusty, and many words looked a little crooked, but Tie Dan's time to learn to write was still short, and it was already good to be able to learn this.

"Not bad, an improvement over what was written yesterday." Shen Xiangmiao said with a smile.

Tie Dan was praised, and his face was full of joy: "I will continue to practice calligraphy well, study and read hard, and come back after taking the test to make my sister and mother happy." ”

"It's good to have this idea, it's just that reading is the hardest thing in the world, it takes physical and mental strength, and you can't stop every day, can you persevere?" Shen Xiangmiao asked.

"I'm not afraid, as long as I can make my sister and mother happy in the future, I won't be afraid of no matter how hard and tired I am." Tie Dan clenched his fists, his face full of fortitude, as if he had made a lot of determination.

"Iron Egg is really well-behaved." Shen Xiangmiao touched Tiedan's little head: "In the past few days, the teacher in the neighboring village has had a cold and has not seen outsiders, and when he recovers, I will ask if I can accept you as a student to study in the school." ”

The teacher of the neighboring village is surnamed Su, is a famous old Xiucai in the nearby village, and he was also the youngest Xiucai in the ten villages and eight stores, but because he accidentally fell and broke his leg when he was young, he was still a little lame after being cured, and he could not continue to take the exam, so he had to go back to the village to open a primary school and start teaching. School-age children in nearby villages, whose families are well-off and willing to send their children to school, almost all send them to him.

Therefore, Shen Xiangmiao is also thinking about sending Tie Dan over, even if she can't get any fame, it is good to read more sage books and understand some things.

"Okay." Tie Dan nodded again.

Lu Shi walked in, saw how happy the sister and brother were, and asked, "What are you talking about, so happy?" ”

"I was talking to Tie Dan just now, when Mr. Su from the next village is well from the cold, I'll go and ask if I can send Tie Dan over to study." Shen Xiangmiao stretched out her head to look at the courtyard: "The third aunt and Wen Tao are gone?" Didn't stay for dinner? ”

"No, I wanted to keep them here for dinner, but your third aunt refused. By the way, your third aunt also said that thanks to your idea, the gnatwood cage is selling so well, and I will thank you when I turn around! Lu Shi smiled.

Shen Xiangmiao pursed her lips: "It's all a family, say thank you or not, the third aunt is also polite, today is also Wen Tao's cleverness, I think this credit is on Wen Tao alone." ”

"I said the same too, but your third aunt still praised you vigorously." Lu Shi had a smile on his face.

Also, if your daughter is praised by others, which mother is unhappy?

Shen Xiangmiao couldn't bear to interrupt Lu's good mood, so she let her babble and praise again, and only then touched her belly at the end: "Mother, I'm hungry." ”

"Look at me, I'm talking to you." Lu Shi slapped his forehead suddenly: "I made steamed noodles and boiled mung bean soup, I'll serve it for you." ”

"I'll do it." Shen Xiangmiao followed to the stove room.

Steamed noodles are a very common way to eat here.

First, make thin noodles and steam them on a cage for a quarter of an hour (during which time they have to be turned two or three times to prevent the dough from forming a lump), and during the steaming period, you can make the topping dish first. It is usually bean sprouts or beans, and this time Lu's used beans, eggplant and some shredded pork.

Beans, eggplant, shredded pork, etc. are fried in the pot, put more soy sauce to color, and then put more water into it to make a dish with soup, and after the noodles are steamed, pour them into the wok, stir the noodles, vegetables, and soup evenly, and then put the evenly stirred noodles and vegetables on the steamer and continue to steam a cup of tea, and it is out of the pot.

Lu's craftsmanship is good, the steamer noodles are moderately salty, dry and wet are more suitable, they taste strong and not too dry, the amount of soy sauce is also just right, the noodles show the color of black tea, with green beans, it is extraordinarily good-looking, and it is appetizing.

Such a bowl of steamed noodles, plus a bowl of cool mung bean soup, a mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of soup, it is called a refreshing meal.

Lu Shi looked at the joy of a pair of children eating, and the smile on his face became thicker little by little: "By the way, just now your third aunt, I saw that Steward Han came a few days ago again, and he also brought a carriage, it seems that he is here to pull people." ”

"Oh? So what was the end result? Shen Xiangmiao remembered the scene of that day, and now she was out of breath, but she felt funny: "Didn't you take Shen Jingqiu away?" ”

"Jing Qiusheng is most like your eldest uncle, and even her temperament follows her for the most part, and your eldest aunt hurts her the most, how can you push her into the fire pit? I heard your third aunt say that it was Zhou Lan'er who was taken away! Lu Shi also sighed for a while when he said this: "Lan'er's girl is thirteen years old this year, and her appearance is also clear and beautiful, she looks quiet on weekdays, and she always smiles and shouts when she sees people, she is a good girl, but it's a pity to ......."

It's a pity.

Zhou Lan'er is a person, Shen Xiangmiao has an impression, in the past, it seems that they occasionally went up the mountain to pick fruits and dig wild vegetables together, and they grew white and clean, which attracted people's liking.

"Zhou Lan'er's family actually agreed to her jumping into the fire pit?" Shen Xiangmiao raised her eyebrows.

Lu Shi lowered his voice: "You juniors don't know about this, Zhou Lan'er's mother had a dystocia when she gave birth to her, and within two years, her father remarried the current Wu family, for fear that Zhou Lan'er had a plan for the Wu family, so she never told Zhou Lan'er, and Zhou Lan'er always thought that the Wu family was her mother-in-law." It's not that he crawled out of his belly, after all, he is separated from his heart, and the Wu family is a powerful person, plus he has a son and a daughter later, so he doesn't care about Zhou Lan'er even more......"
