The next day, Factor Qing said that she was going to see Xia Yu, so she got up early, but she didn't see a child, and she went out of the second door, and Xiaofan said that they were all practicing on the island. Ziqing went out of the courtyard gate to see that the seven children were all on the island, some practiced horse walking, some practiced whips, and some practiced fists and feet, which was quite lively, Ziqing took a look, and went in to check the breakfast.

Because the child is growing up, Ziqing stipulates that each child must drink a bowl of goat's milk and eat an egg when they get up early, and the rest is rice noodles, noodles, fried noodles, vegetable porridge and so on in turn.

As soon as Ziqing prepared goat's milk for each child, Shurui and they came in and automatically went to wash their hands, Ziqing said: "Eat quickly, today I want to see your second aunt, will you follow me, or will you be at home?" ”

"Auntie, didn't you promise us to catch field chickens yesterday, but you forgot about it?" Luo Haoyan said.

"Okay, if you want to go when you come back today, I happen to be hungry, see how much you can catch, my aunt has made you food."

"Is this delicious?" Luo Haoyan asked, he didn't think the loach ham soup that day was delicious, the soup was just poured, those strange things, he really didn't eat much good, it felt weird, this is the difference between the food culture of the north and the south.

"It's not delicious, really, you definitely don't like it, you don't even like loach soup, and you won't like that." Wen Xingyu said with a smile.

"Oh, you don't like it. You are a northerner, where are you used to eating these, what do you think is delicious in the north? Shuhiko asked.

Still Shuyu was kind, and said to Luo Haoyan: "Brother Luo, let me tell you a story, and you will know what to do." ”

When Luo Haoyan and Xiao Yi heard this, they became interested and said, "Speak quickly, speak quickly." ”

Shuyu playfully told the story of the pony crossing the river, and the pony wanted to cross the river and asked the little mouse. He said that the river was very deep and drowned his companion, and asked the big yellow cow, who said that the river had only reached the base of the calf. "The river is not deep, and the pony and the mouse give different answers, why do you say?" Shuyu asked. Since the children had never seen a squirrel, Ziqing replaced the squirrel with a mouse.

Xiao Yi, Wen Xingyu and Luo Haoyan each thought for a while, and the three of them all understood, Luo Haoyan waved his hand impatiently and said, "What's so difficult about this?" The big scalper is much bigger than the mouse. ”

Xiao Yi smiled: "This story tells us. To do things, you have to use your own brain to analyze. Auntie, I love the story you tell, and I know that you teach us how to be human. ”

After the reason was finished, breakfast was also eaten, Ziqing went out with a few children, thought about it, and asked one of the guards to follow. By the way, he is also responsible for driving the carriage.

Ziqing brought eight children, two maids, and some food. At noon, I must have eaten over there, and no matter how I look at it, I will also go to two carriages. When the car was divided, the seven children had to follow Ziqing, and of course Yanran didn't need to say it. In the end, Xiao Yi arranged for the guards and Lin Xing to drive their carriage, and the car barely sat down, and the maid only brought Xiao Zi over to help cook.

Before the carriage entered the village, someone went to inform Xia Yu. Because in this village, only the relatives of Xia Yu's family have a carriage. Xia Yu really ran out and stood against the door frame and watched from afar.

When the carriage entered the village, a group of children followed, Ziqing got out of the car and saw Xia Yu leaning against the door frame. His face was a little not good, and he hurriedly asked, "Second aunt, what's wrong with you?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Factor Qing was holding the child in her hand, she couldn't help Xia Yu, Xiao Zi was also carrying something in her hand, Ziqing handed the child to Shuyu beside her, Xiao Yi hurriedly took it over and said, "Brother Yi is holding you, you have to be obedient?" ”

Yanran smiled and kissed Xiao Yi's cheek, Shu Rui saw it, and hurriedly snatched Yan Ran over, because every time Ziqing, Lin Kangping and Shu Rui teased Yan Ran, saying, "Yan Ran is obedient, kiss it." Yanran will smile and kiss everyone's face, but this Xiaoyi is not a family member, so Shurui is a little annoyed, but he can't lose his temper with a child who is more than a year old. glared at Xiao Yi very unhappily, and Xiao Yi couldn't tell the difference. Fortunately, Wen Xingyu and Luo Haoyan didn't see it.

Ziqing didn't see this scene either, and was supporting Xia Yu and asking Xia Yu about her current situation. It turned out that Xia Yu's body had suffered a lot from Zhou's body, and the already frail and sickly person was still thinking heavily and should have needed to recuperate. But Ziqing can't cure this heart disease.

Zhou Tianqing was not at home, saying that he was hoeing sweet potatoes and turning vines, Ziqing looked at his children and said: "Hoeing grass can't help, but they can still help with the work of turning vines, where is your family's land?" ”

"Don't, such an honorable guest, who is a young master at home, how can you let them go to the ground?" Xia Yu refused.

"Hey, they love to do the work of turning vines, and it's not like playing. Second aunt, don't shirk. ”

Xia Yu pointed in a direction, Ziqing gave Yanran to Xiao Zi, and said to the children: "Give you a task today, I want to see who does the best and who can endure hardships the most?" A few of you try it out, do a good job, and I have a reward. ”

Luo Haoyan asked, "Auntie, can you ask what the reward is?" ”

Ziqing thought for a while and said, "Go back and teach you to play a game." ”

Several children happily agreed, Ziqing took them to the ground, Zhou Tianqing saw Ziqing and them first, greeted them, listened to what Ziqing said, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it." ”

Ziqing has already demonstrated to a few children in the field that turning vines is the least skilled work, just pull the sweet potato vines out of the ground and pull them from one end to the other to prevent the fine roots on the vines from diverting the nutrients from the roots. When the children saw that it was so simple, they all thought it was funny, and they did it one by one.

After Ziqing instructed a few words, she went back first, saw Xia Yu, and asked, "Second aunt, why don't you take you into the city to see the doctor while there is a car here?" ”

"Don't spend money blindly, it's not long since I saw it, and the doctor said let me live well, don't worry about anything."

Ziqing listened and comforted a few words, Xiao Zi put Yanran on the ground and asked, "Master, what do you eat at noon?" ”

"Just eat some farm vegetables, go to the vegetable field in the yard to pick something, and in addition, make some for my second aunt."

Xia Yu listened and hurriedly said: "This can't be helped, there are chickens and ducks in the yard, you can kill one each, and you don't have any meat." ”

Xiaozi looked at Ziqing, and Ziqing said: "I always have chicken, duck and fish meat all day long, and if I don't eat a meal, it's nothing, don't you want to live the life of the Zhuang family?" In addition to the New Year's Festival, where can the village have meat to eat? ”

Xiao Zi listened and went to the yard to look for vegetables, Ziqing hugged Yanran and Xia Yu and sat and talked. In fact, Xia Yu's life is not too bitter strictly speaking, Xiaowen doesn't study anymore, Xia Yu can still have seven or eight taels of silver left over a year, compared to ordinary farmers, it is still much stronger, plus every year, Ziqing and Shen send her a lot of things, except for some seasonings, there is basically no need to spend money to live. However, it is estimated that the annual drug cost is still the majority.

"Second aunt, Xiaowen is not young this year, right? Is there a suitable person? ”

"I'm not in good health, and I can't go out, so I asked others to pay attention, and I didn't have anything to worry about for a while, but no, in a flash, this child is also seventeen, and it should be settled this year."

"So, second aunt, look, if you don't take care of your body, you want to worry about Xiaowen, but you don't have enough energy, it's better to open it yourself, just pick up some things that you can relax, you take care of yourself, that is, for your aunt and Xiaowen, they can also let go of their hands and feet, focus on farming, learn crafts, don't have to worry about you all the time, don't you say? And grandma, if you're well, she can rest assured, right? ”

As soon as Ziqing persuaded her, Xia Yu's eyes turned red, and she staggered to Xia Yu, looked at Xia Yu's eyes, and said, "Don't cry." ”

Xia Yu hugged Yanran and said with a tearful smile: "Auntie doesn't cry, look at how sensible we are Yanran, if we are so young, we will coax people." ”

As he was talking, the children came back in a hurry, one by one they were really tanned, sweating profusely, and there were banana leaves on their heads, Shurui took them to the well to fetch water to wash, Wen Xingyu said to Ziqing: "Auntie, this is much easier than cutting rice." ”

"It's also lighter than rice planting, and I don't like rice planting the most." Luo Haoyan said.

"No wonder Gu Shiyun hoeed the day of the noon, sweat drops into the soil, auntie, do we still have any farm work that we haven't done?" Xiao Yi asked.

"There are many, the most tiring and painful things, you haven't done yet." Ziqing said.

"Ah, what's more tiring and bitter? What is that? Xiao Yi asked.

Zhou Tianqing told them some things about farming, just as Xiaozi said that the meal was ready, Ziqing took them to the table, Luo Haoyan looked around and asked, "Auntie, why is there no meat?" I'm not a rabbit, I just eat vegetables. ”

"Eat it, it's not bad, for the sake of you guys, there are so many dishes fried, if they are themselves, that is, a green vegetable, they will deal with it." Today, I brought you here, not only to experience farm life, but also for a purpose, I think you are too pampered at home on weekdays, so I want to educate you on a little frustration. ”

"Auntie, what is frustration education?" Xiao Yi asked first.

"Auntie wants to see, among you, who can endure hardships the most, and who has the most perseverance and endurance? Although everyone will take a different path in the future, one thing is certain, in this life, it will not always be smooth, there will always be tribulations, the so-called frustration education, is to see if you encounter tribulations, whether you want to resolve them or sit still. Of course, what my aunt asked you to experience today is just to make you eat less meat, and it is far from a setback. ”

At this time, Xiao Zi brought the rice, it was still brown rice, and the brows of several children were furrowed even tighter, but thinking about what Ziqing had just said, no one spoke.

Ziqing didn't say a word, she picked up the dishes and chopsticks first, Shu Rui saw it, and hurriedly picked it up, followed by Shuyan, Xiaoyi, and finally, they all picked up the rice bowl.
