When the meal was served, Shen divided a part of the dish and let Master Xu and them eat alone. Two tables were set up here, Tian Shi saw the meatloaf soup with a little smile on his face, the old man was interested in the casserole, it was still bubbling with the pot open when it was out of fire, and he was not afraid of cold and warm when he ate this in winter.

Zeng Ruixiang heard that his father liked it, and quickly said: "Dad likes it, take this back when you finish eating, and we will buy another one next time." The old man didn't refuse.

Shen saw that Zhou's face was a little unhappy, so he sandwiched a piece of potatoes and a chopsticks of shredded potatoes for Zhou, and said: "Sister-in-law, you eat this, this is what we planted this year, the yield is very high, you can pick up some in a while, and plant some in the spring next year, our sandy land will be fine, and you don't have to take care of it very hard." ”

When Zhou heard this, he immediately turned cloudy and sunny, and hurriedly agreed, and asked: "I just have two acres of land, and I want to plant wheat, and I want to plant watermelons, but I don't know how to pull it, or I will plant one acre of wheat after harvesting, anyway, the first time, I don't know that good seed, I'll just come a little." By the way, brother and sister, how are watermelons grown? Do you want to plant the seeds directly or raise the seedlings? ”

"I think Qing'er is a nursery, you can ask her. To be honest, it has always been taken care of by a few of them," Shen pushed the problem to Ziqing.

"Auntie, I'm also planting for the first time, I'm afraid of wasting watermelon seeds, so I'll try some first, bury them in the soil, I didn't expect it to really sprout, and then I threw the rest into the soil, how could I do this, I just watched my mother sprinkle cabbage seeds, I just followed the learning, I will sprinkle some water when the ground is going to dry, I'm sorry, I'll do this." Qingqing didn't wait for a question to ask, so she quickly took the initiative to explain. Just kidding, of course, you can't say it all, my family is still waiting to use this start to live the days of the landlord's family.

"Then this potato, let's get a little bit for Chunyu too. I don't know how to think about your sister when there are good things, but I pity their family, and they can't even eat. Tian said.

He Shi was very unhappy when he heard it, when his daughter's family couldn't eat enough, he didn't see her distressed, after thinking about it, He said to his daughter: "Yumei, this is your fault, you should have sent some earlier." This mother, they are all worried about their children, you see that you have a family, and you know that you don't even have rice food, so your brothers are worried about sending it to you. ”

"My sister-in-law, when we separated the family, we didn't have enough rice, so I gave their family a lot of money to buy rice, but my son and daughter-in-law agreed." Tian explained.

Ziqing rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said: "The last time I went to my aunt's house, my cousin Da Mao said that the food of my grandmother's family was sent to their house, and he also said that I went to his house to beg for food, and the rice was very fragrant. ”

"The little ones quarrel and talk nonsense, and you also have a lot of complaints, the bigger the more unpleasant it is. Don't shut up yet. Shen scolded.

"Ziqing didn't talk nonsense, Da Mao scolded me like this." Ziping said.

Zhou was about to say something, when he saw that Tian's face was already very dark, and then saw He and Shen's two sisters-in-law sitting opposite, and swallowed the words back.

"Second sister-in-law, your life is really getting better and better, this house, this furniture, this food, I will be content if I can live in such a house in this life, second sister-in-law, I will take a bath here, okay? Ziqing, you are still better than your aunt, you have a father who earns eighteen taels of silver a year. Qiu Yu said without opening his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, are you mistaken, didn't my father give the money earned to Grandma?" Ziqing asked.

"Giving grandma is not raising your family, do you think you don't need silver for food and clothing, otherwise how will you grow up? Your grandfather is in the field every day, and he is busy working in the fields, and you see how hard he works and how old he is, not so that you can have enough to eat. Qiu Yu was unhappy.

"But we didn't have enough to eat, and I didn't eat enough every day at Grandma's house." Zishou whispered on the side.

"That's because you have a lot of food, why didn't others say that you couldn't eat enough?" Qiu Yu said.

"I don't eat as much as my cousin Sanmao, I can't eat one bowl, he has to eat two bowls." Zishou is also a screw.

"Your cousin and they only come to eat a few times a year, and they haven't fed you, don't think that your father's money is all for us." Qiu Yu said angrily.

"Then the family is separated, isn't it still a year to give twelve taels of silver? It's time to raise you this time. Ziqing was also angry, why should she swallow her anger if she suffered a loss, it seems that it is not easy to eat a meal of peace.

"Children's families, who did they learn from, open and close their mouths, the silver is long and the silver is short, Qiuyu, you too, you can't stop your mouth when you eat." Tian was angry.

Ziping made a grimace at Ziqing, laughing at her for being scolded, and Ziqing felt that it was better not to say anything more. Xu was also busy playing round, and there was no further problem with the meal.

Because of the He family, Tian's temper couldn't come out, he finished eating in one breath, and was about to leave immediately, and when he arrived at the gate of the compound, he saw Zeng Ruiyu coming over, it turned out that the radish in the field should be pulled, and he could plant some small peas, and the wheat was too late.

Zeng Ruixiang said that everything would trouble him and let him watch the arrangement. Only then did Tian know that Zeng Ruixiang had hired Zeng Ruiyu to do a short-term job, and he was even more panicked, but seeing that outsiders were there, this would really not be the time to find a place, so he left angrily.

The radish was pulled back, and the family was busy for another day, Shen cut two baskets of radish strips with salt on them, saying that he wanted to dry some dried radish, and he could still top it if there was no vegetable to eat in the spring, this Ziqing couldn't help, Zilu was helping to knead it on the side.

Ziqing pulled Zishou and ran over to see Master Xu's carving, Master Xu's chair was finished, and there was only carving left, his apprentice was polishing on the side, Ziqing had never seen mahogany in his previous life, this time he had the opportunity to know, looking at the color jujube red, it felt harder than fir beech or something, and the gloss was very good.

Master Xu saw the two children squatting on the side and watching, very curious, so he had the idea of teasing, and there was no match for idle, Ziqing only learned that this mahogany is not just a kind, Master Xu is now using red bean wood, and the Nanmu he said is all found in the mountains, and he has heard his master teach, wood that has not reached the age can not be picked, so good wood is also hard to find.

Ziqing smelled a fragrance, although she hadn't seen it, but Ziqing knew that it was a good thing, so she put away all the pieces that Master Xu had planed down, and waited for her to learn carving and see what small things she could make. I didn't expect to make a fortune with these later.

Such a good wood Master Xu said that there is no need to paint at all, just polish and smooth and wax, so Master Li did not come in the past two days.

Ziqing was taking Zishou to clean up the broken wood, Zeng Ruixiang came in to discuss with Master Xu, the New Year is a few days away, it is estimated that it will definitely not be finished before the New Year, pick a few urgently needed things to do first, and asked: "Can the tables and chairs in the hall be done?" ”

Master Xu said that there must be no problem, and these furniture do not need to be painted, and they can be used after they are basically done. Zeng Ruixiang said that he asked his apprentice to make two camphor wood boxes first, and he would use them after the year, Ziqing thought it was to add a dowry to the second aunt.
