After the Chen family left, Lin Kangping and Zixi also came out of the study, and Ziqing asked, "What did you say to Xiaosi?" ”

"What can there be? Xiao Si asked me about Westerners, as well as the business of shipping, and I told him in detail. Lin Kangping said.

"Sister, I sigh, you have only been married for ten years, and it is not easy for my brother-in-law to be able to put down this family business. Also, looking at Shurui and a few of them, I remembered that we came when we were young, and this time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, I am twenty-one. Zixi sighed.

Ziqing heard that she had been in this time and space for twenty years, and in twenty years, Ziqing's world had undergone earth-shaking changes, the little girl who crawled out of the pigsty, had a husband who loved her, and a family business that was not thin, and now she has five children, and her brother and brother have all become talents, so to speak, the dream set by Ziqing at the beginning has basically come true.

After Zixi left, Ziqing entered the study by herself, took a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, moved it to the kang table in her inner room, and solemnly wrote on the title page, "The Story of Time" five big characters,

"Spring flowers bloom, autumn wind and winter sunset,

In my poor and boring childhood, I used to think ignorantly,

The windmill flows in the wind of the four seasons,

The care of my relatives has grown me year by year

The story of flowing water that takes away time changes everyone,

It was the sentimental and first weeping young man

Distant distances, yesterday's dreams, and distant laughter,

How much of the journey we have gone through when we meet again,

I am no longer familiar with the old days, and I have the fanatical dreams of the old days

It's not the same you used to be, you still have a smile

The story of the flowing water that takes away the time changes us

It was in that sentimental and first reminiscent of youth"

Ziqing wrote these slightly modified lyrics on the first page, and there seemed to be a paragraph in the middle that Ziqing couldn't remember. When Ziqing was concentrating on the pen, Lin Kangping walked in. Seeing Ziqing using the pen seriously, Lin Kangping was still a little surprised and asked, "Qing'er." What do you do? ”

Ziqing put down the pen and said, "I just listened to Xiao Si's words, and I suddenly thought of it." I've been here for 20 years, and 20 years is enough to change a lot, and I remember a song I once sang, called "The Story of Time", and I want to write about my experience over the years, and the title of the book is "The Story of Time". ”

"But haven't you always hated holding a pen?"

"Not really. These few sentences took me half an hour, and it seems that writing a book is not so easy, and I am going to spend ten years. Write it slowly, and when we have been married for 20 years, I will take it out and give it to my children, so that they can see what their mothers have done in this life. Ziqing said.

Lin Kangping took the notebook in Ziqing's hand and read the lyrics. He asked, "Is this your song there again?" ”

"Well, I used to like it, but unfortunately, I can't remember most of it. But when it comes to singing, he also has a song "Childhood", which I will teach the children to sing another day. I always feel that there are too few things that children can play with, and such a young child, who only thinks about those things all day long, is old for my son. Ziqing complained.

"Haven't you always taught kids to play games? To be honest, I am a little envious of my sons, with a mother like you, you can have such a happy childhood. Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and said.

"By the way, how is Xiao Si going to make Da Maokong happy?" Ziqing suddenly thought of the question she hadn't asked just now.

"What else? It shouldn't be difficult to make the woman unable to marry. Don't worry about it, and me, I can't ruin Xiaosi's reputation. ”

At this time, Shu Rui and a few people entered the door with Yanran in their arms, and Ziqing hurriedly packed up her things and laughed with the children.

"Mother, my uncle said that he also learned the children's rhyme "Reading Lang" taught by his mother, and when he heard this, he remembered the days when he was young, and when he was as old as us, he carried the schoolbag made for him by his mother to go to school." Shuhiko said as he jumped.

Ziqing touched Shuyan's head and praised: "Our Shuyan is so powerful, we can teach my uncle to sing, what else did my uncle say?" ”

"Mother, my uncle said, every inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time, and I told us to listen to my mother and be a productive person in the future." Shurui said.

"Speaking of which, my mother taught you to sing a 'An inch of time and an inch of gold, Mr. said, it is difficult to buy an inch of time. Ziqing hummed a few words, but she couldn't remember the lyrics completely.

"Mother, why do you sing differently than others? I saw you coaxing your younger brothers and sisters to sleep, and you sang differently than your grandmother's. Shu Rui asked.

"Mother is just humming, where can I sing seriously? Have you ever seen a song sung by your mother, isn't there only a few lyrics? No more, mother, won't. Ziqing said confusedly.

"That's right. However, my mother is already very powerful, and Cousin Yongsong said that the songs sung by my second uncle are not easy to learn at all. Shuhiko said.

"Alright, alright, it's time for dinner, let's go out." Lin Kangping relieved Ziqing.

After the meal, Zixi came over and pestered Lin Kangping to talk about the difference between the Westerners' muskets and other weapons and the Gale Country, while Ziqing took Yanran and Shurui to listen in the study.

"Speaking of which, our ancestors invented gunpowder, but they will only use it to make fireworks, this weapon, we really don't have it, you say this, I'm a little worried, if the foreigners look at us one day unpleasantly, or fall in love with our land, if there is really a war, we will suffer." Ziqing said.

Ziqing has not forgotten, what did the Qing Dynasty's retreat and self-defense bring, it was too far away before, and some things were not easy to say, but now that Zixi is on duty in the household department, Ziqing, who can be reminded, still wants to remind one or two.

"Sister, what you said makes sense, and I think so too, although our Gale Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and has always had friendly exchanges with various countries, there has not been a large-scale war. However, it is better to be prepared for anything, otherwise, we will be caught off guard at that time, and we can only passively wait to be beaten. That's why I asked my brother-in-law to ask some Westerners what are the advanced technologies? ”

"I don't know very well, I've only seen their foreign guns, grenades, glass products, by the way, and foreign cloth, I heard that their cotton cloth is cheaper than ours, because their looms are more advanced than ours, and I have taken over a batch of cloth in John's hand, which is both useful and cheaper than ours." Lin Kangping said.

"Did my brother-in-law consider buying a few looms from Westerners to see what else we needed to improve? When my brother-in-law said this, I want to go around abroad and see how they are better than us. Zixi sighed.

"This, I can't be the master, your sister won't even let me go." Lin Kangping said.

Zixi said that Bi and Lin Kangping discussed which handicrafts could be encouraged to be done by farmers, where the porcelain powder was more delicate, the glaze was smoother, the regions were different, the favorite tea was also different, and which silk fabrics were more favored by foreigners, etc., Ziqing saw that she didn't know much about this, so she hugged Yanran and went into the house to rest.

The next day, the children entered the school, Ziqing accompanied Zixi and the Shen family to Anzhou to visit He's, He's basically lived in Anzhou this year, Shen Jianren's two sons also moved their homes over, the eldest lived with Shen Jianren, and the third bought a house nearby. Also, Shen Jianshan's two sons also settled in Anzhou, and came to see the He family from time to time, and the He family is now seventy-eight years old and has been in the same house for five generations.

When Ziqing arrived, she was running into Shen Jianren's eldest daughter-in-law, Wang, who was coming back from shopping for vegetables, and when she saw Ziqing, she was busy welcoming everyone in, putting down the basket, and holding Shen's hand and saying enthusiastically: "Aunt is here, please come in." While holding Fu's hand, he smiled and said: "The fourth brother and sister are really rare guests, but my cousin-in-law's family has nothing to entertain. ”

Ziqing saw that what she said was a bit nondescript, to be honest, the three daughters-in-law of the brother-in-law's family, the character of the Wang family, which Ziqing really didn't like, was somewhat similar to Qiuyu, the difference was that the Wang family was more capable of talking than Qiuyu, and the little aunt was powerful and could suppress her.

No, seeing the movement outside, the little aunt hurriedly came out, heard Wang's words, and said: "They are all my nephews and nephews and daughters-in-law, if they can enter the door of their uncle, they are the relatives of their uncle, and the children can still dislike his uncle's family for being poor?" Come, just now your grandmother was still chattering and wanting to see you, but it happened that you came. ”

Ziqing and a few entered the hall, but He was not in the hall, he carried a small fire basket and sat in the room, and Wang's youngest daughter was talking with the old lady.

Zixi returned from afar, saw He, and pulled Fu to kowtow to He, Wang said on the side: "Oh, wait for me to prepare the futon, and carefully get dirty clothes." ”

Zixi hurriedly said: "It's okay. ”

While speaking, the Wang family had already brought the futon over, and said with a smile: "It's still our grandma who is blessed, my cousin is an official in the capital, and he kneels down to the emperor or something on weekdays, and grandma has to wake up laughing when she dreams, and she has such a promising grandson." ”

Zixi saluted and took out the gift, a warm fox fur hat and a pair of deerskin boots, as well as a set of clothes sewn by Fu himself, He took the gift and said with a smile: "Grandma likes this hat and shoes, but it can't be wasted in the future, grandma has a lot of clothes, you make new ones for grandma every year, I am an old woman, where can I wear it, you can come to see grandma, grandma, it's sweeter than eating honey." ”

As he was talking, Shen Jianren came back, he didn't do anything now, the baked cake shop was handed over to the third son to take care of, and he just went over to take a look from time to time. With the help of the Fu family, the eldest son entered the official office and was still a treasury servant, and each son honored him with some silver taels a year, and his life was good.

Shen Jianren saw the Shen family and said, "That big hair of the Chunyu family, this time he is really going to be lucky." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
