Ziqing has rarely seen Zeng Ruiqing have such a high interest and enthusiasm for a certain thing, and he has always kept a straight face, rarely smiling [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 223]. Then he said: "My big dad is very strange today, he actually has a smile on the corner of his mouth, don't you just catch a fish?" ”

Zhou also said when he saw it: "Or your eldest niece has a way, I have rarely seen your eldest father so happy, I will often coax him to come in the future, everyone in the province says that he has a bad temper." ”

Qiu Yu glanced at her and pursed her lips privately, very disapproving.

A few women crooked in the lounge next to the hall, Ziqing didn't want to get it to her room as soon as someone came to the house, the bedroom where the husband and wife lived was the most private place, and there was always a feeling of being peeped at when outsiders came, so the bedroom was generally cleaned up by Ziqing herself, except for mopping the floor, she generally did not fake her hands.

For this reason, Ziqing placed a carved Arhat bed in the first room west of the hall in the front yard, with soft cushions on it, and a small table in the middle, which can put some food and tea, and can sit when there are many people, and can be crooked when there are few people, and a carved chaise longue is placed near the window, and there is a small round table in the middle to entertain female guests. Male guests are usually in the hall or study.

Zhou's was bored, Zhang Luo played mahjong, Shen didn't like to make do with Zhou, so he gave it to He, but unfortunately He's eyes were not very good, so He's partner with Shen, plus Ziqing and Qiuyu, was enough.

Tian was crooked on the bed, helping to look at Qiuyu's daughter Wanqing, Wanqing is now half a year old, speaking of Wanqing's name There is a reason, when the name was first chosen, Qiuyu said that he hoped that the child could be like Ziqing, and also had Ziqing's good life, so he named it like Qing, Zeng Ruixiang listened to it and said: "It can be seen that I have never read a book, ready-made Wanqing, Ruqing, which is not better than Xiangqing." So Xiangqing changed it to Wanqing.

The card pair was found, Ziqing found mahjong and put it on, and just played a round. Xiaoqing hugged Shurui over and said, "Grandma, the little master is hungry and wants to eat milk." ”

Ziqing threw the card to Xiaoqing, and carried her son to the next room to breastfeed. After feeding and teasing the child, and then coaxing the child to sleep, more than half an hour has passed.

When Ziqing returned to the original house and asked Xiaoqing to take the child back to sleep, she found that mahjong was no longer playing, and Zhou's was puffing up. Although Qiu Yu was better, she also had a gloomy face, Ziqing glanced at it, there were a bunch of copper plates in front of Xiaoqing's seat, and the little girl was inexplicable.

Ziqing handed the child to Xiaoqing, and at this time, Ziquan and Mu Mu ran in and shouted, "There are a lot of eels caught outside, go and see." ”

Ziqing grabbed the copper plate on the table and gave it to the two children, touched their heads, and said, "Take it and buy some paper and pencils." Let's practice calligraphy. ”

Zhou and Qiuyu's faces immediately softened, and they sneered and followed the children out. Ziqing and Shen looked at each other and smiled, no wonder Shen was reluctant to play. I have long known Zhou's temperament, and I am afraid that Zhang Luo deliberately wants to play mahjong. In the past, on the Shen family's side, Zifu and they would usually deliberately release water to her when they played cards, but they didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of a maid today.

As soon as Ziqing arrived at the pond, Lin Kangping said to her with a smile: "You may have enough to eat today, and you have half a pot." Not to mention, your dad did have two hits, most of which were captured by him, and I didn't see how hard he was going. ”

"This is the so-called difficult people will not, and those who will will not be difficult. Tell Granny Wang. To be spicy, put more onions and garlic, and lettuce leaves should also be more [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 223, Eel Incident Chapter]. Don't forget to chop up the eel bones and feed them to the ducks. Ziqing said.

Dinner was served to Ziqing with lettuce leaves and fried eel, there was no chili pepper at all, Ziqing looked at Xiao Zi suspiciously, Xiao Zi lowered her head and hurriedly said, "Granny Wang made it for grandma." Said that you can't eat spicy food when breastfeeding. ”

"It's not like that, or I'll forget." Shen Shi hurriedly said, very self-blaming, he is not as good as an outsider, but because of this incident, Shen and Lin Kang treated Wang Pozi differently on average.

Zhou Shi saw it and said: "Ziqing, this eel, it's not delicious without chili, the fishy smell is too heavy, it's better for you to take the rest to me home, your father and your little brother like to eat it." When you can eat spicy food, just let your daddy catch it for you. ”

"Look at what the eldest lady said, what's wrong with this? Isn't it just a few fish? Even if Qing'er can eat it, the eldest mother asks for it, and she has to send it to the eldest mother. Grandpa also loves to eat, you can divide it when you go back, oh, and my mother and sister-in-law. Lin Kangping replied. Lin Kangping's dislike for the Zhou family was not too deep, so he happily agreed.

"Brother-in-law, Yu'er also wants to eat, Yu'er also loves to eat, why don't you help Yu'er catch a few big ones first, brother-in-law, and the second sister-in-law." Ziyu hurriedly said, the little girl is eleven this year, and when she saw that her things were going to be taken away by others, she was very unhappy, relying on her own small size, and said it directly.

How could Lin Kangping not know her thoughts, and hurriedly instructed Lin An to pick out a few of the biggest ones, seeing that Zhou was distressed on the side, as if Ziyu wanted her things, he wanted to speak but was embarrassed to speak, twisted his brows, stared at Lin An's hand, Ziqing looked at her expression, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he had to bow his head and laugh.

At night, Ziqing suddenly felt a headache and nasal congestion, and Lin Kangping hurriedly said: "Maybe I have been playing by the pond for a long time during the day, it has just rained, the wind is cold, the ground is tidal, and it is still spring, the most disease-prone season." You're really disobedient, and you won't listen to what you say several times. "After that, I got up and went to the doctor.

Ziqing took his hand and said, "I'm breastfeeding, taking medicine is not good for children, it's better to let Granny Wang cook a bowl of soup with green onion and ginger, and I'm afraid of sweating after drinking." It's really not good, and it's not too late to find a doctor tomorrow. ”

Lin Kangping agreed, and after a while, he brought a bowl of hot ginger soup over, watched Ziqing drink it in small sips, took a thick quilt to cover her tightly, and heated the kang a little, put the child in the farthest corner of Ion Qing, hugged Ziqing by himself, touched Ziqing's forehead from time to time, and fell asleep with confidence when he saw that Ziqing really sweated.

Early the next morning, Lin Kangping forced Ziqing to drink a bowl of ginger soup, and he was not allowed to go anywhere, even the meals were eaten on the kang table, and only gruel was drunk.

In the afternoon, Qiu Yu came to see her, but Lin Kangping had no choice but to take her into the bedroom. Qiu Yu sat down on the edge of the kang and asked a few questions about Qing's condition.

"Why didn't you bring it to the child? Who will carry it? Ziqing asked as soon as she saw Qiu Yu's empty hand.

"Sleep, your grandma is watching. You should know that if you are sick and unwell, you should come and talk to you in the morning. Yesterday's half a pot of eels, if Ziyu hadn't spoken, your aunt would definitely not have been able to take the initiative to share it with your father. Your eldest father took it home, and your aunt only gave your grandmother four or five small ones, saying that I had eaten with your grandmother recently, so I didn't give them. It just so happened that today was the bazaar, she actually took it and sold it, a pound of eel can be sold for twenty yuan, this half of the pot is not more than ten pounds, your aunt's eyes can not pass the thing, after the can't pull out. ”

Only then did Ziqing know that Qiu Yu had recently eaten with the old man and them again, "In the future, she will ask you for things, don't be stupid and promise her anything." She is not as poor as you think, in fact, she still has some family background, at the beginning, in addition to your salary, your father also had a lot of extra money, he never paid to your grandma, and he stayed by himself. When you were young, she was in charge of the stove room, and she and Ziping ate secretly every day, or could the two of them eat that fat? When you were young, you were all as thin as firewood sticks. You were so young that you didn't even remember it. Seeing that Ziqing didn't squeak, Qiu Yu thought that Ziqing agreed with her words, and said again.

Ziqing smiled and said, "How old am I, can I remember those?" My dad is still a salary of ten taels of silver? "It seems that Qiu Yu doesn't know about Zhou and Zeng Ruiqing's lack of salary, and they hide it really tightly.

"It went up a few years ago, twelve taels. In fact, to be honest, willing to suffer, or your father, at that time your father and aunt thought that your family had many children, they helped you raise children all year round, your father was afraid that they would have opinions, and the money earned was left penny, all handed over to your grandmother, and your mother too, the work at home was done in a hurry, for fear that your aunt would gossip, but fortunately, you were also angry. Your aunt is going to come back to you and ask for fish, what are you going to do? ”

"It depends on the situation, if you really want to eat it, just give one or two, after all, it's your own relatives, is it difficult to become a few fish and not come and go?" Ziqing replied. As long as it's not too much, Ziqing won't take it to heart if she is taken a little advantage, after all, it is impossible for everyone to tear their faces and not get along.

Qiu Yu still had to say something, Lin Kangping came in with Shurui, Qiu Yu had to say goodbye and leave, Ziqing said to Lin Kangping: "My mother often teaches us that there is that idle time to complain, saying that other people's are not, it is better to think about how to live a good life in your own family, your own life is real, and everything else is false." That's why my mother wholeheartedly took us to work hard and get rich. ”

"I know you're lazy to listen to her dig through those old accounts, so you brought your son in, fortunately, it's a funny one." After speaking, he touched Ziqing's head.

Ziqing lay on the bed for three days, and was poured several large bowls of ginger soup, but she was indeed fine, and Lin Kangping allowed her to go out of the room.

The rainy season passed, Lin Kangping began to hire people to loosen the corn soil, saying that the edamame in the wasteland had bloomed, and the corn was half a person high, Ziqing wanted to go and see, Lin Kangping stroked Ziqing's face and said, "You have only been a few days, just go and blow that wind?" Besides, the fields are full of big men working, and it's not convenient for you to go. In the future, there will be days for you to watch, obedient. ”

Ziqing had no choice but to give up, suddenly thought of the dozens of pigs, and asked, "The pigs that have been raised for a year should be two hundred catties smaller, right?" It won't grow much if it is raised, so let's kill it and raise it in another batch. ”

"I was about to tell you this, isn't your uncle a butcher? He had already agreed to help us slaughter, originally said that it would only be sold in the bazaar, I was too slow, let me kill two a day, and pull it to Anzhou City to sell, you started when you were sick, and now you have killed seven or eight. I thought that I should go out in two days, and I would feel at ease after arranging the affairs of the house. ”

When Ziqing heard this, her heart warmed, it seems that Lin Kangping is more capable than he thought, so let's be his own rice worm with peace of mind. Ziqing stretched her waist with a smile. (To be continued)
