As soon as Huai entered the house, the little red pepper dressed in red jumped up and hugged his legs, and shouted happily: "Dad! When I heard the dog barking, I knew that the house was coming. I want to pick up you at the door, but my mother won't let me go. ”

He put down the wooden box, picked up the potato that was staggering and followed the shallot, and took the red pepper hand and said with a smile: "Won't I come back, what do you want to pick up?" Yam, haven't eaten yet, wait for Dad? ”

The potato couldn't answer, smiled and narrowed his eyes, circled his father's neck, and buried his head on his shoulder after calling "Dad", looking like he was attached.

He said to several grandchildren: "Daddy, hurry up and eat, and make trouble after eating." We haven't wrapped the dumplings yet. In the afternoon, I wrapped chestnut and red bean dumplings, and in the evening, I wrapped bacon dumplings, and then some red dates. ”

Red Pepper excitedly said to Huai: "Dad, I also made zongli!" ”

Huai was talking to Chrysanthemum, and felt Red Pepper pull his arm, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Hey!" Well! Is our girl so capable? ”

Zhang Dazhuan saw several grandchildren surrounding him, and said jealously: "One by one, they were still shouting that they were hungry just now, why aren't they hungry again?" Not to mention the chest and back. ”

Chestnut rarely didn't rush forward, but hugged his grandfather's arm, winked at him and said, "It's all people who are crazy." ”

Shallot turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Brother, what are you talking about?" ”

Chestnut hurriedly said, "I didn't say anything. I told my grandfather that we were all thinking about my father, and we even forgot that we were hungry. ”

Xiaoxi walked in lightly and said to Chrysanthemum, "Young grandma, the meal is ready." ”

Chrysanthemum nodded and said to He and Zhang Dazhuo: "Mother, father, let's go to dinner." Red pepper, let's go, who wants to eat meat just now? ”

Noisy, the family went to the side room next door to eat.

Nowadays, the family has to take care of the old and the young. also has to manage the subordinates and tenants, Chrysanthemum has to arrange and plan carefully, otherwise, the relationship between the two of them will be wasted.

Like this at dinner. She likes the whole family to gather together, and then talk and laugh for a while after eating, which not only satisfies the psychology of the elderly to enjoy the joy of family, but also allows the children to be close to their parents.

However, after dinner, they were to be sent away and each to do his own thing. She was alone with Huai herself.

At the dinner table, Huai talked about what he had seen and heard outside, and said that he bought a lot of things for everyone, and took them to see them after eating. provoked the enthusiasm of the little babies.

Chrysanthemum saw Zhang Dazhuan looking at his children and grandchildren with a smile, but he unconsciously held a piece of meat in his hand and fried bamboo shoots, eating chopsticks one after another, and specially picking meat to eat.

She smiled and stopped, "Dad, don't eat too much meat at night." Cherry simmered the pheasant. Wait for tomorrow morning to take it out, put down a bowl of noodles for Dad to eat, and then serve some sour bamboo shoots. ”

Zhang Dazhuan was stretching out his chopsticks. Hearing this, he retracted his hand in a wrench.

He Shi glanced at him and said, "Why are you still so greedy for eating meat every day?" It's not something I haven't eaten in previous years. It's said that it's not good to eat meat at night, why is it like a red pepper, I can't control my mouth! ”

Chrysanthemum couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly helped the two elders personally pick up bracken and lettuce, and said Dr. Yun's words again.

Why do you care about your in-laws eating meat?

It turned out that after the first two years of the day, she saw that Zhang Dazhuan, Zheng Changhe and several other old people showed signs of fortune, and she was a little worried: there is less labor and better food. It's not a blessing, it's very easy to get sick, especially those who used to work all year round, once they stop working, it's easy to get fat.

She carefully consulted with Yun Ying, and then combined her own experience. I made two decisions with the four old ones: one is to continue to work, and if I have nothing to do, I can serve the vegetable garden; The second is to eat less meat and pickles at night, and focus on light vegetables.

In fact, although chrysanthemums don't know much, they know a common sense: under normal circumstances, eating too much meat and too salty at night is not conducive to health. Therefore, the dinner table of the Zhang family is full of vegetables, and if it is winter, they simply stew tofu with yellow cabbage, or stew white radish, and eat and sleep well. (Let's stay)

He believes in her very much, because the babies let her raise her very well and rarely get sick, and besides, Doctor Yun and Doctor Qin also said so, so what else can be wrong?

Red pepper also knows the eating habits of the family, and when he saw that his grandfather was told by his mother to eat meat, he pouted and asked worriedly: "Mother, I just want to eat meat, what should I do?" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Huai smiled and took a chopstick bracken, and said to the little girl: "This thing is also quite delicious." Eat green vegetables at night and eat more meat in the morning and at noon, isn't it enough? ”

Chrysanthemum picked two slices of lean meat and put them in the red pepper bowl, and said with a smile: "Mother didn't say that you can't eat anything at all, otherwise, what does Aunt Cherry put in this bowl of bamboo shoots?" Let's share a little bit of this meat, and everyone won't eat much. ”

Chestnuts and shallots listened and hurriedly put the fried bamboo shoots into the bowl.

Shallot said while hugging: "Grandpa, the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says, 'Eat and drink modestly, live regularly, and do not work in vain, so you can form and be with God, and end your days and live a hundred years old.' 'My mother asked her to eat less at night and eat lighter, which was for your good. In the future, grandparents will live to be 100 years old! Our little baby is different, when we are growing up, it's okay to eat a little more. ”

Huai saw that the shallot was talking in a high-sounding manner, but it was very fast under his hand, and in a blink of an eye, most of the plate of green bamboo shoots and meat slices were gone, where was "a little more" and couldn't help but smile at the chrysanthemum.

Seeing that her father-in-law was confused, Chrysanthemum asked Xiao Shallot: "When Master Ling teaches you this, you will be able to listen to the original text, or do you want to explain it to you again?" ”

Shallot pouted, "Of course I have to explain." I was embarrassed to die, and the master asked me to memorize it. ”

Chrysanthemum said: "Then what are you doing with us?" After listening to these thoughts, my father and mother have to think about it to understand, how can grandparents understand it? It's better to speak in the vernacular. As long as you understand the meaning and memorize it, even if you can't memorize the original text, it's nothing. If you don't understand it, even if you memorize the rolling melons of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", it will be useless. ”

Shallot hurriedly smiled: "Mother, didn't I get used to it and blurted it out." I'll talk to my grandfather about this later. Grandpa, this is the Yellow Emperor asking others, why can people a long time ago live to be 100 years old, but now people are 50 years old and useless? That man said these words to the Yellow Emperor. ”

Zhang Dazhuan said happily: "Then I will talk to my grandfather later, so that my grandfather will have more knowledge after listening." ”

Seeing that there was almost no meat on the plate, Red Pepper straightened up from the stool and protested: "Brother, sister, I am younger than you, and I want to eat the most." ”

Huai couldn't help but laugh and said: "Red pepper, according to what Ling said, shouldn't you eat more yams?" ”

Red Pepper glanced at his younger brother who was sitting in his mother's arms and said, "My brother didn't have any teeth, so he had to drink porridge." ”

Zhang Dazhuan and He watched their granddaughter make trouble, and they couldn't stop laughing.

After eating in a noisy manner, the family gathered in the main house to look at the things that Huai had brought back, and Heipi also sent two burdens. It's nothing more than some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, small clay figurines, small windmills and other gadgets, and some things to eat. Because Xiatangji also has these, they are not very rare, but they are just a bit of a fun.

After playing for a while, Huai sent the little babies to the study to read and practice calligraphy, at this time, in addition to the potato, even the black skin, grapes, Xiaojinger, Xiaoxi and others had to go.

The study was large, with many tables and chairs like a classroom, and they had to read books for at least one hour, and chestnuts and blackskins for two hours. Xiaojing'er doesn't like to read, and no one forces him, but he just follows and knows a few words, and he doesn't open his eyes and be blind.

Zhang Dazhuan went to Liu Hei to gossip, went down the mountain again, and talked to Lao Lin who was the gatekeeper; He continued to make rice dumplings with Cherry and Aunt Liu.

Huai pulled the chrysanthemum and went to see the bonsai, "I let the black skin move to the pond and put it aside, where the water is heavy, and there is no need to follow the watering." ”

Chrysanthemum said: "Isn't that unsold?" Doesn't anyone like it? Also, the tree is too ordinary, and we like it, exactly the same as the Xiaoqing River. ”

Huai smiled but didn't answer, and said in his heart, it's not that no one likes it, and he has a dispute with someone about this.

On the night of the fourth day of the first month, a crescent moon hangs in the treetops, which can not provide much clear light, and the dark shadows in the garden are sufficient, and Huai carries a lantern and leads the chrysanthemums to the pond of the Sanjin Garden.

On the water stood a new lotus, still entwined with a trace of mist, under the light of the lantern, hazy and quiet; The gardenias by the pond exude a quiet fragrance, and the chrysanthemums can't help but take a deep breath and feel comfortable.

In the quiet night, the sound of gurgling water is like a mountain spring, which is the sound of water flowing from the mountain and into the pond through the bamboo.

The pond is not very large, and there are some lotus roots planted in it, and some small fish are put in it. Because it is mainly ornamental, there are not many lotus roots and fish, and there are no water chestnuts - that thing is easy to stain the water - but there are a lot of calamus planted by the pond, and there are also a few clumps of gourd grass.

Looking at the bonsai by the pool, she was moved, she just said that this bonsai is good, just like the willow tree by the Xiaoqing River, and Huai moved it back.

"Brother Huai, don't move the roots of this tree, pull out the bottom plate below, maybe it can take root and grow into a big tree."

Huai nodded and said, "Hey! If it grows up, I'm afraid it will cross into the middle of this pond. ”

After laughing for a while, Chrysanthemum asked, "This batch of fungus has been negotiated?" Or sell it to that Master He? ”

Huai saw that she had seen the bonsai and asked about business, so he took her hand and walked to the back garden, telling her about business matters.

"I didn't sell it all to him, I only promised to give him half, and the other half was sold to the Zhou family in Changxing Warehouse. That's not bad already. This spring, together with my father-in-law's family, I am afraid that we can collect more than 10,000 catties of fungus. This thing is no more expensive than winter chili peppers, so I naturally can't just sell it to him. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "Didn't I ask this because I heard that Ling seemed to respect him." This Master He was recognized by Huai the year before last, and once helped him when he encountered a trouble, so the two have intersected since then. Net:.
