On the same day, after the water followed, Chrysanthemum hugged Huai's arm and said with a smile: Brother Huai, how is this method? ”

Huai looked at the little daughter-in-law's proud appearance, and boasted without hesitation: "Ingenuity! How did you come up with it? At that time, even the bamboo had not been planted, and you thought of it. (Let's stay) [just there]"

Chrysanthemum said, can this tell you? This is a fellow scholar who went to the mountains in his previous life, and when he saw the local villagers design it like this, almost every house has running water, and he was amazed and envious for a while.

This device is simple and simple, it must have a very abundant water at the bottom, and then the water level of the well on the mountain is very shallow, almost flush with the ground, and then it is convenient to draw water down the mountain. If you dig the wrong place and the well is too deep, you have to dig it again in a lower place, and you must always calculate the water level of the well and be exposed on the surface.

Speaking of shallots, when I got to the edge of the pool, I squatted down with the cucumbers and cleaned up the cicada chrysalis. The cicada pupae are earthy yellow, each fleshy and fat, just pull off the wings and six thin legs, and wash them again.

The cucumber stood on the edge of the pool, stood on tiptoe, scooped up the gourd scoop floating on the surface of the pool, scooped a scoop of water and rushed it into the basket, and the shallot rubbed the soil off the cicada chrysalis with his hand a few times.

After repeating it several times, after rinsing it clean, Shallot turned his head and saw the soybean holding the iron net in one hand, holding a small basket in the other, and walking towards the earthen stove with short legs, so he smiled slightly and said, "The soybean has brought salt." Let's go and salt this and roast it to make it fragrant. To say, this is better when fried in oil. After speaking, he took the basket and got up and left.

The cucumber followed behind her and said, "Bah! We might as well send it to the kitchen and let my aunt fry it for us. ”

Shallot smiled: "My brother is definitely not happy." It's easy for you to get out of school one day, and he wants to mess with these things. How fun it is to bake it yourself, how can it be sent to the kitchen, it's not a fun thing. ”

Cucumber said: "Cousin Chestnut just loves to make trouble, similar to soybeans." ”

Shallot looked at the appearance of his little cousin Sven, even his skin was whiter than gourds and chestnuts, and he couldn't help laughing, and said, "People say that soybeans are not like the people of the old Zheng family." Grandpa and Uncle and Brother-in-law, Cousin Hulu and you are not as clever as him. ”

While talking, when they arrived at the place, Soybeans and Red Pepper were chirping and chattering, and they always liked to raise the bar and make noise.

Huang Dou saw the shallot, and said with a smile: "Sister shallot, hurry up, everything has been brought." Aunt Cherry also brought chili peppers and oil and salt, saying that it tasted better when mixed with seasonings. ”

At the moment, the babies are busy with excitement.

The gourds and wells were burned with thatch, and the eggs were packed with purse, and thrown into the fire to burn; The shallots mixed the salt, marinated for a while, and then poured some oil and mixed it in the bowl, and then poured it on the chestnut net, and suddenly there was a burst of green smoke.

"Who wants spicy food?" She asked.

Gourd, chestnut, Xiaojing'er, and Qingshan all said that they wanted to eat spicy food, so the shallots sprinkled chili powder on some of them. The paprika was roasted by the fire, and the air was filled with a spicy smell that choked on the red peppers and cucumbers.

Chestnut also followed her sister and kept turning it with chopsticks.

When Chrysanthemum and Liu Yunlan walked into the back garden, they saw smoke billowing in the northwest corner of the garden, and they were suddenly startled: "What are these naughty ghosts doing?" ”

Liu Yunlan heard the laughing children's voices over there, stretched her neck to take a look, and said with a smile: "What else can you do?" It's definitely burning again. Don't be afraid, and there is not much fire, and the gourd will not mess around. ”

She is holding a two- or three-year-old little girl, her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to chrysanthemums, and red peppers are like twins, this is the little daughter of the Zheng family, named Ziji.

After the Zheng family broke the situation of a single generation, Liu Yunlan gave birth to two sons in a row, which made Aoki, who wanted to have a daughter, and Zheng Changhe, who wanted to be a granddaughter, sigh: Why is it so difficult to give birth to a daughter?

Therefore, when Liu Yunlan gave birth to a daughter on August 22 of the fifth year of Yongping, Yang looked at the eyebrows and eyes that were exactly the same as when Chrysanthemum was a child, and almost never shed tears. (One stay) (just to the point) The old couple immediately regarded this granddaughter as the tip of their hearts, and Zheng Changhe even ranked Qingshan behind.

The little girl is very quiet and well-behaved, and she is a copy of Aunt Chrysanthemum, not like a red pepper, but just like the surface, and even when she laughs and blinks, she doesn't even look like the surface.

Aoki wanted to find a good name for his daughter from the vegetable garden, and Chrysanthemum hugged her little niece and smiled, "Let's call it Purple Eggplant!" ”

Aoki thought of the glaze-like eggplant, and thought it was good, so he nodded in response, and everyone else said that the purple eggplant sounded good.

Zi Qi was wearing light purple floral clothes and pants, with two little girls combed on her head, tied with purple ribbons, her black eyes were bright and pure, she looked up at Chrysanthemum and Liu Yunlan and said, "Mother, aunt, let me go over and take a look first, okay?" ”

Liu Yunlan also liked the little girl very much, so she let go of her hand and said, "Go ahead." Run slower and don't fall. ”

Chrysanthemum also said: "Red Pepper asked you in the morning, saying that Zi Eggplant didn't come over, and she blamed Cousin Hulu for not taking you out to play." Hulu said that you went to your grandmother's house, and she didn't make trouble, otherwise, someone would have picked you up. ”

Purple eggplant pursed her lips and smiled, and ran briskly along the forest passage to the northwest corner.

Here Chrysanthemum and her sister-in-law walked slowly, gossiping at the same time.

In addition to the house that is the fourth entrance on the side of this garden, the other east, west, north and west directions, by the courtyard wall to the wide place, are planted with green bamboo, a passage on the side of the bamboo forest, hugging the courtyard around a circle; The middle of the garden is divided into two large blocks, and the north side is planted with various fruit trees, mixed with a few oaks and willows; To the south, at the back of the house, is the vegetable garden, which is smaller than the fruit grove.

When they approached the corner, they saw Red Pepper holding Zi Ke's hand and exclaimed happily, "Zi Ke, why are you here?" You're not here, I'm not bored playing with them, except for the eldest sister, they are all male babies, and they're very naughty. How many nights did you stay at your grandmother's house? ”

Chrysanthemum listened to the little girl's words, and was speechless: she herself is a naughty person, and she dislikes others for being naughty.

Sure enough, Huang Dou didn't follow: "Sister Red Pepper, you are not very gentle, and you still talk about us." I hate us, if we don't take you to play, you should cry again. ”

Red Pepper glared at him and said, "Who was crying?" When did you see me crying? Why lie and don't play drafts? ”

Chrysanthemum pumped in her heart: This girl has a strong ability to imitate, and whatever she said, she turned her head and used it immediately.

Chestnut and gourd scolded them at the same time, and the two villains were silent.

Zi Ji shook Red Pepper's arm, pointed to the black insect on the iron net and asked, "Sister Red Pepper, what is this?" ”

She's still young, so naturally she hasn't played with this thing, or she played it last year, but she doesn't remember it at all.

Red Pepper told her vividly, and Zi Eggplant was stunned when she heard it, and she couldn't imagine why she ran to the ground and squatted, so she didn't suffocate to death? Besides, can you eat this thing? She couldn't help but get goosebumps on her body, and her little brow furrowed.

Hulu loves this sister very much, and hurriedly greeted her, and when the red pepper said, he added some of the habits he knew, and how delicious this chrysalis was fried.

As he was talking, Shallot saw his mother and aunt coming, so he hurriedly turned the chestnut with his elbow and whispered, "Mother is here." ”

Chestnut looked up and grinned: "Mother, aunt, are you here?" Come and see, we've dug up a lot. ”

Suddenly, the little babies flocked up, and all kinds of salutations and greetings rang out. Some come up to be affectionate and coquettish, such as red peppers and soybeans; There are those who laugh weakly, such as chestnuts and shallots; There are rules to say hello, such as gourds and cucumbers; Xiao Jing'er and Qingshan smiled and called "young grandma" and "aunt".

Chrysanthemum smiled and couldn't help but be a little shaken: she really admired herself, and she gave birth to four babies unconsciously. Often, these seven or eight babies surround her, making her feel dizzy and tinnitus; At the same time, their ridiculous words and deeds and behaviors make life wonderful, which is really painful and happy.

Zi Ji came with her mother and aunt, so she didn't come forward to be obsessed, she stared at the worm on the barbed wire with good eyes, suddenly wrinkled her cute little nose, and shouted to Shallot: "Sister Shallot, this thing ······ Confused. It smells mushy, you smell it—" he said and sniffed.

Shallot panicked and hurriedly came over to find out with chopsticks.

Chestnut rushed over and pinched the edge of the barbed wire with both hands, lifted the net, left the earthen stove, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, no need to bake." It's just right, it's not very mushy, and it's fragrant when it's burnt. ”

Soybeans and Red Pepper hurriedly left Liu Yunlan and Chrysanthemum, squeezed over and shouted, "Let me taste it." ”

provoked the little babies to laugh for a while, and they didn't care about Chrysanthemum and Liu Yunlan in front of them, and they all took chopsticks to eat. Soybeans and wells are troublesome, so they simply grab them with their hands. After being said a few words by the shallot, he didn't pay attention to it, and just ate it, as if it was something unbelievably delicious.

Shallot was helpless, so she didn't care about them anymore, she took two and put them in a big bowl, brought them to the chrysanthemum, smiled earnestly, and said that she had made the flavor herself, and asked her mother and aunt to taste it.

The two of them ate it very generously, and found that the taste was really good, so they couldn't help but look at each other and smile; Zi Tomato didn't dare to eat it, which made Red Pepper regretful, saying that it was a pity that she didn't eat it, and she cheapened the soybeans for nothing, and he had eaten several miles.

Chewing in her mouth, Chrysanthemum looked at the shallot, thinking that it was not a matter to let her girl go so well, she was eight years old!

Shallot was furious by her mother, and hurriedly said, "Mother, I didn't make much trouble." It's just that my brothers took a break from school today to play along. As soon as they go to school, I have to go back to study medicine with the master, and even if I come home, I am constantly busy: I have to read and write, learn needlework, learn cooking, and I don't even fall behind in growing vegetables. I'm your most obedient daughter. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunlan was full of smiles, hugged Xiao Shallot's shoulders and said: "Xiao Shallot is good, if your mother dislikes you, it is better to be a daughter to your eldest aunt." ”

Chrysanthemum saw her confess a bunch of things and glared at her. These words made people who didn't know hear it, and they thought that she was diligent, and she knew the inside story as a mother: except that studying medicine is serious, everything else is not just like playing, how can you study seriously?

However, she didn't want to restrain her daughter, and she couldn't be too laissez-faire, so she still had to guide her in many ways.
