The days passed every day in picking up vegetable leaves, cutting vegetable leaves, feeding the chickens, letting out the wind, and helping Shen wash and scrub. Ziqing is no longer entangled in who the emperor is and what dynasty, after all, her family is a small village living at the bottom, as long as there is no war and prices are stable, Ziqing wants nothing more than that for the high dragon chair.

Since she almost showed her stuffing in front of Zilu that day, Ziqing asked Zifu to teach her to learn to read and write, learn arithmetic, and squeeze some time every day to let Zifu teach her and Zilu to recognize a few words, so, on sunny days, you can often see such a scenery under the peach tree, ten chickens lazily digging and graffiti, and there are always two children next to each holding a branch and scribbling on the ground, not to mention, it is not much different from the chicken planing.

No one thought that Ziqing was seriously raising chickens, Tian's and Zhou's after they knew, they all thought that Shen was wasting money, and it was better to have money to coax the child to take it over the years, so he often called Zilu to go up the mountain to fetch firewood, Ziqing should have gotten there, but Shen strongly objected, one child was too young, and it was tiring enough to walk so far, and he had to hug loose hair on the mountain, and he needed to drag the bamboo rake to keep turning around the mountain, Ziqing couldn't bear it at all, and second, Shen was still in confinement, and he also had an errand runner by his side, can also help wash diapers, Zishou is too small after all. Besides, if you can't even eat enough every day, how can you do physical work. So Ziqing stayed.

After finishing the necessary work every day, as long as it doesn't rain, Ziqing will take Zishou and go to Tian's vegetable field empty-handed, Tian's vegetable field is really not small, at least more than half an acre is big, Ziqing knows that the little cabbage and green cabbage are particularly fond of growing that kind of fat green worms, and it is very good to feed the chickens. Of course, Ziqing didn't know how to grab it, either tearing off a small piece of vegetables, or finding two branches as chopsticks to pull up, and then finding a large vegetable leaf to wrap it back, the adults in the family always thought that these two children were greedy for fun, and they didn't take it seriously. The chicks have changed day by day, the milk hair has receded, and the two little wings have come out, Ziqing always likes to catch and show off to her mother, Shen always smiled gently, and encouraged Ziqing a few words. Ziqing immediately stinks and is not good, it seems that this body has become smaller, and the mental age will definitely change with it, of course, it will also become smaller.

The boy is not wrinkled, his eyes are bright, his skin is pink, his mouth always loves to spit bubbles, and he spends most of his day sleeping, Ziqing really likes this cute little brother, full of love.

The day before Laba, Zeng Ruixiang came back, it turned out that the private school here usually started the holiday the day before Laba, and did not start school until the twentieth day of the first month. Zeng Ruiqing's yamen will not be able to take a holiday until after the twentieth day of the lunar month, but the state capital is relatively close, and Zeng Ruiqing still goes home more often.

As soon as Zeng Ruixiang came back, Ziqing was very happy, Tian gave a few small ones to pick up beans at home, that is, to pick out the stones in the beans, everyone sat together, Qiuyu had the most witticisms, and she could always make everyone laugh, and she sang a few folk songs from time to time, Ziqing liked this strong New Year's flavor very much, but she couldn't help but miss her family in another world, it was okay when she was busy during the day, and sometimes at night, this kind of desperate thoughts flooded, Ziqing's heart was dull and dull.

Shen got up early in the morning, and after feeding the children and cleaning themselves, he came to the children's house to have a look, only to find that Ziqing lived with his brothers.

"Qing'er, why are you sleeping here? Haven't you been sleeping with Ziping? ”

"Mother, I like to live with my brother, and my brother can tell stories to Qing'er and teach Qing'er to read."

"You kid, it's really grinding, forget it, you're still young anyway, and you won't move in a few days."

"Like, isn't it a seven-year-old who doesn't sit at the same table? I'm only five years old. By the way, mother, why did you come out, isn't it not yet a full moon? ”

"Who told you that your seven-year-old is not at the same table? I know a lot, hurry up, my mother will comb your hair, and go to your grandma to help early. ”

When Shen hugged Zixi and took Ziqing over, Tian and the others had finished boiling porridge, and Zhou glanced at Shen and didn't squeak. Shen took the initiative to step forward and said, "Mother, sister-in-law, you have been tired these days. ”

"Those who are not burdened can't complain about others, who told me that no one has a good life, one after another, I'm the life of suffering and suffering." Zhou said leisurely.

"Okay, the old family will take out the porridge and make offerings, and the second family will sit next to the child with the child, isn't it not yet time?" Tian spoke, and Zhou didn't say anything more.

Tian took a bowl full of hot eight-treasure porridge, walked to the gate, raised the bowl high, made three strokes, and said something in his mouth, and offered a circle in the four directions of the southeast, south, and north, and then returned to the hall, and made another gesture against the ancestral tablet, Ziqing wondered if the ancestral tablet was generally placed in the ancestral hall? Ziqing secretly asked Zilu, it turns out that the custom here is that the tablets of the fathers are offered at home, and those who celebrate the New Year and festivals must be fasted and eaten, incense, and the ancestors and above are offered in the ancestral hall, generally only on Chinese New Year's Eve, the men of the whole clan worship in unison, and the men are added to the family, and they generally go to the family tree on the first day of the new year of the next year, and set wine in the ancestral hall to invite all the men to eat, and women cannot enter the ancestral hall.

After Tian's worship, everyone only shared a bowl of porridge, according to the order of the eldest and youngest, Shen put Zixi on Qiuyu's bed, helping to divide the porridge, and when Ziqing brought it to the porridge bowl, the porridge happened to be mild, sweet and sweet, this was the first time Ziqing ate something delicious after she came, but unfortunately a bowl of porridge was quickly drunk, Ziqing looked at it, no one went to add more, Ziqing naturally did not dare to be the cannon fodder.

Everyone finished drinking the porridge and threw away the dishes and chopsticks, only Shen was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Ziqing was worried that Shen was going to wash the dishes, how could he use cold water before he finished sitting this month? Ziqing saw that Tian and Zhou didn't squeak, and hurriedly ran to the house, twisted Zixi's buttocks, Zixi cried, Ziqing hurriedly shouted, "Mother, Xiaosi is crying, it seems that he is wet, you come over and change him." ”

Tian had no choice but to say: "The second family, you can go quickly." ”

As soon as Shen came in, he was about to reach out and touch the child's diaper, but Ziqing stopped him, "Mother, let's go home and change it again, there is no diaper anyway." ”

As soon as he entered his room, Shen asked, "Tell me, what the hell are you doing?" ”

"No, mother. I just don't want you to do things, even Grandma said that you are not in your day, why can't your aunt wash the dishes? ”

"Your sister-in-law wants to embroider, how can she embroider when she does housework and does her hands roughly? Your second aunt is not in good health, and your grandmother is reluctant to let her do things, besides, which family has a daughter-in-law who still uses her daughter to work. In this life, a woman can live a few years of comfortable life in her mother's house. "It's sad. This evil antiquity.

Before Ziqing finished feeling it, Zilu came in to find Ziqing and wanted to go to the bazaar, it turned out that this Wutong Town was a big market every five and ten, and it was a small market within a radius of ten miles, and the villagers from several surrounding villages came over. On weekdays, there are only four or five shops selling vegetables in the morning, after all, there are not many residents in the town who do not farm.
