Chapter 528: Children

Just as he was talking and laughing, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Red Pepper immediately put the bamboo plate on the ground and shouted, "Brother is back." He got up and ran to the door.

The potato also struggled out of Chrysanthemum's arms, and Chrysanthemum let go of him and let the little baby stagger behind the second sister.

Chrysanthemum hurriedly shouted, "Don't block the door, be careful that the horses collide with you." Your brother only learned to ride a horse. ”

Red Pepper listened, turned around and pulled the potato to hide in the verandah, stretching his neck to look at the gate of the courtyard. But he heard the sound of horses' hooves and stopped, and after waiting for a while, four or five young men with hanging hair, such as gourd and chestnut, walked into the second gate empty-handed, laughing, and did not lead the horse.

Red Pepper hurriedly jumped forward and asked his brother why he didn't bring the horse in.

The chestnut had a horn tied on the top of his head, and he smiled and said, "The horse is tied to the woods outside." If you pull a bubble of dung in the yard, don't scold us? ”

Chrysanthemum looked at these energetic teenagers, and rejoiced for no reason, calling cherries and asking what was in the kitchen, and beckoning them to come over for questioning.

Aunt Liu hurriedly got up and said, "I'll take a look, and if I have something to eat, I'll bring it." ”

As soon as she got up, Xiao Jing'er's head was covered with sweat, her blue clothes were tucked into her waist, she ran vigorously, she was as strong as a calf, she rushed up and hugged her waist, grinning and smiling at her: "Mother! ”

Aunt Liu smiled, pretended to be disgusted, and fanned her nose with her hand and said, "Look at your stinky sweat, you don't go to wash your feet, just come to me." ”

Jing'er and Hulu and the others went to the pool to wash their faces, and Chestnut laughed when he saw him: "Uncle Jing'er, do you still want to eat milk?" He laughed at his hugging of his mother.

Hulu and a few other babies laughed, and Xiaojing'er also smiled innocently, not angry. Whoever let him be at home is the old man, and he is naturally more pampered in front of his father, similar to Qingshan.

Turning around, Xiao Jing'er sat down next to Grandma Liu and told her about horseback riding.

Hulu and a few others also surrounded the chrysanthemum and told her about the progress of her riding skills.

Qingshan is in Zhang's house these days. followed his nephews and nephews to study and practice martial arts together, and no one looked at him differently, and his heart and eyes were real, so he gradually got rid of the arrogant little nature. It's getting more and more cheerful.

He sighed and said to Chrysanthemum: "You have to be skilled, otherwise you will be turned on horseback, and your heart, liver, stomach and intestines will be turned upside down!" Sometimes I ride quite smoothly, and I don't feel bumpy when I follow the horse. ”

Chrysanthemum nodded and smiled: "I'm afraid I have to master the rhythm." It's like swimming in the water, and it's good to swim more. Cucumber, do you find it difficult? ”

She specifically asked about cucumbers. It's because he's a little more delicate, and he's just exercised at this time, and his little face is red in protein, like a layer of rouge, lined with red lips, like a little girl. He is usually very gentle, and Chrysanthemum always thinks that he doesn't like climbing trees and playing in the water, but he has learned everything like his brother.

Cucumber looked up at Chrysanthemum and smiled, "It's okay." The master taught very carefully. He also said that we have a good foundation, and this horseback riding is easy to learn. ”

Chestnut also said: "We usually don't play in vain, the master said that we are bold and flexible." As long as you ride more, you can learn very quickly. ”

The gourd was silent, with a smile on his sun-tanned red cheeks, and water droplets on his forehead, he looked more and more like Aoki.

Chrysanthemum took out a handkerchief, helped him wipe the water on his head with the chestnut, and asked funny: "Why can't the cucumber tan no matter what, you and the chestnut will become wheat color in one summer?" Qingshan is also not tanned. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the gourd and the chestnut lowered their heads and laughed violently.

Cucumber said depressedly, "Auntie, I don't want to be so white." People laugh at me. Say I'm like a girl. Uncle is not black, so no one says that he looks like a girl. ”

Qingshan touched his head and smiled: "Cucumber, you look pink and tender, you are a bit like a girl......"

Chrysanthemum hurriedly stopped him, and the cucumber had already collapsed, and her red lips pursed unhappily.

Chrysanthemum saw Aunt Liu bring the peeled pears. Hurriedly beckoned them to eat, while saying to the cucumber: "It doesn't matter what you look like, as long as you act like a man, don't be timid and cowardly like a little girl, what do you say." Besides, our cucumber must be a beautiful man when he grows up, chic and elegant; Your brother and chestnut are a different style, and it doesn't have to be the same for everyone. ”

Hearing this, the cucumber unconsciously straightened his small chest and smiled slightly.

Red Pepper hugged a pear and took two bites, moved the small bench to the cucumber, raised his face and asked Chestnut: "Brother, which one is whiter between me and cousin Cucumber?" ”

Chestnut looked at his sister's smooth face, the same color as the gourd's cheeks, and blurted out that of course you are black. But my sister looked at herself with black eyes open and longing, and she couldn't say this, so she had to say, "Look at it." Isn't it, cousin Hulu? ”

He elbowed the gourd and blinked.

The gourd nodded with a smile, and the red pepper lowered his head and nibbled on the pear with satisfaction.

Chrysanthemum and Aunt Liu were amused when they saw it, and she asked, "Master Yan and Master Zhu?" Why didn't you see anyone? ”

Chestnut said: "The master went to Grandpa Liu." He said that we had finished our morning class, that it was time to read, and that he would take us to shoot rabbits in the woods in the afternoon. ”

Chrysanthemum nodded, in addition to the children having half an hour to practice martial arts in the morning and evening when they go to school, this holiday day is also half a day of reading and half a day of activities.

After resting for a while, Hulu and Chestnut beckoned a few small ones to go to the study to read and write, and Aoyama and the others obediently followed.

Red Pepper also said that she wanted to write big characters, and ran behind her, but she was pulled by Chrysanthemum, not letting her disturb her brothers, and letting her write in the sand table in the east chamber, and help her check it herself. Red Pepper was helpless, so he had to go back.

When they were about to eat lunch, Chrysanthemum took the time to give them an economic lesson for half an hour, first, to let them understand some world economics, and secondly, to let them loosen their minds by the way.

I didn't talk about complicated things, just take the family's property as an example, and it doesn't matter where it goes. From agricultural output to processing and processing, to sales, to the taxation and management of the state, and the various types of work derived from it, as well as some social problems that need to be dealt with by the government, agricultural and industrial scholars will count their functions one by one.

Gourds and chestnuts listen most carefully and often ask some questions, they are already sensible and are very concerned about these industries at home.

And Cucumber, Qingshan and Xiaojing'er are more stingy and save, because they feel that the money is too difficult to earn. What makes people laugh is the soybeans and red peppers, which come over once in a while to listen to them. Thinking carefully and calculating, thinking about how to make a fortune all day long.

Chrysanthemum taught them seriously, in addition to these, each of them had a small abacus. You have to be able to fight.

In this way, the children are really busy, even if they go to the forest to hunt rabbits and chickens, it is also for the purpose of practicing martial arts; I went to swim in the river, but I also wanted to exercise, and I didn't even have it when I just let them play.

While it was time for lunch, Huaizi returned.

There is something strange about chrysanthemums. These days, because he is busy with the workshop, he eats at Zheng's house at noon, why did he come back today?

"I'm going to debug the water mill in the afternoon, and my family will ask the babies to take a look, so that they can see and understand." Huaizi said to Chrysanthemum with a smile while washing her face.

Qingshan was overjoyed, saying that he had wanted to go and see it for a long time, and Chestnut and the others were also very happy.

Huaizi dropped the washcloth and patted her son's head. Laughing: "So happy? Let's see if you can figure out what that thing does. If you can name one, two, three, it will not be in vain that I will rush back and call you over. ”

Chestnut tilted his head. pouted and said: "My mother said a long time ago, that thing is to rely on the impact force of water, relying on levers and cams to work." ”

Huaizi laughed and said, "Who doesn't know this?" It's easy to say, but those masters are very particular about it, and there are many ways in it. ”

When Shallot and Qin Miao also came, the dining room was suddenly lively, and the babies finished eating quickly, and couldn't wait to follow Huaizi to the old house.

Chrysanthemum was also itching, and just as she was going to see the plums, she took the grapes with her.

arrived at the door of Zheng's house. Chrysanthemum told Huaizi: "Be optimistic about them." The place is very urgent, and if there are too many people, they will be negligent, but they will not regret taking the medicine. ”

Huaizi nodded, reassuring her.

Shallot tugged at the sleeve of the chrysanthemum and begged, "Mother, can I go and see it too?" ”

Chrysanthemum took her hand and coaxed, "Girl." Mother can usually take care of you? I won't let you go today because there are too many men in that place. When you were doing this work, maybe you took off your clothes, bare-chested, and pulled your trouser legs, how can you go to that place as a little girl? It's the same with us playing at grandma's house. Later, my mother will go to see Aunt Meizi, and you can also go shopping for a while. ”

Huaizi also coaxed: "Little shallot, wait for today, there will be no one one day, just let the uncle take you to see, why do you have to go today!" ”

Qin Miao blinked her eyes wide, and also persuaded Xiao Shallot: "Senior sister, let's listen to Aunt Chrysanthemum." It doesn't matter if you don't go, Brother Hulu and Brother Chestnut came back and told us the same. Brother Hulu, you have to take a closer look. ”

Chrysanthemum scratched the shallot's nose with her hand, and said angrily: "Look, you are not as good as your junior sister, Miao Miao is really sensible." ”

Hulu smiled at Qin Miao and nodded.

Chestnut approached the shallot and whispered in her ear: "Sister still don't go, maybe they will wear a pair of shorts, maybe bare-bottomed!" ”

Shallot glared at him, turned his head shyly and said, "If you don't go, you won't go." Let's go, Miao Miao, let's go find Purple Tomato. "I saw that the purple eggplant and red pepper in the yard had already played together.

Hearing the sound of them talking, Li Jingwen and Li Jingwu next door also rushed out, joined everyone, and went to the river together.

Chrysanthemum talked to her mother and sister-in-law at her mother's house, let the grapes look at a few small ones, and she went to Li Changming's house to find plums.

"Hello Chrysanthemum, you're such a rarity! If I don't go to you, you won't come to see me, why do you have time to go down the mountain today? ”

Meizi was very happy to see her, but she couldn't help complaining, while letting the little girl put the tea on the fruit.

Chrysanthemum sat down with her under an osmanthus tree in the yard, and said with a smile: "How many times have you been looking for me?" What's the use of saying that? After giving birth to so many babies, we are becoming more and more uncomfortable. If you want to be like before, you have to wait for your son to marry a daughter-in-law and hand over the house to them, and then we will gossip and play cards all day long. ”

Meizi laughed when she heard this, and said that it was so.

Chrysanthemum picked up the teacup and drank. Tea, his eyes swept around the yard, and he asked with a smile: "Baby?" ”

Meizi still kept the soles of her shoes in her hands, and said while pulling the thread: "The two big ones went to the river to see your house to test the water mill, and the three small ones went to grandma's house." ”
