Chapter 31: Birth

When Qiu Ling heard Qiu Bai ask, she lowered her head and asked Qiu Doudou and Qiu Xiaobao without thinking about it, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Qiu Xiaobao immediately said: "Jelly beans and jelly beans!"

Qiu Doudou said, "I want to eat sugar gourd."

Qiu Xiaobao heard Qiu Doudou say this, and hurriedly changed his words, "I don't want jelly beans, I also want sugar gourds!" ”

Qiu Bai smiled, "Okay, it's all up to you today, let's go eat sugar gourd!" ”

Sugar gourds cost a penny a bunch, Qiubai bought four skewers, and one person ate one bunch.

The four sisters and brothers licked the sugar gourd as they walked.

Qiu Ling suddenly raised her hand and pointed to a magnificent building next to her, "Eldest sister, look, the people who come in and out here are all dressed so expensively!" ”

Qiubai also turned his head to look, and saw carved beams and paintings, high and magnificent, this is a place where rich people can enter.

There were three big characters on the plaque, and the characters were in traditional Chinese, which she didn't recognize.

Looking through the gate, you can see a table of people eating and drinking.

"When the eldest sister is developed in the future, I will bring you over to eat for three days in a row!" Qiubai said very proudly.

Qiu Ling laughed "poof", "Hahaha...... Big sister, stop kidding. ”

was dismantled by Qiu Ling like this, Qiu Bai was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Let's go, go buy a few more fish hooks and go back." After speaking, he pulled Qiu Xiaobao and took the lead.

Qiu Ling hurriedly took Qiu Doudou to follow.

On the platform on the third floor of the magnificent building, there were two people, and these two people were Ye Zhiheng and Li Zhi.

Li Zhi saw that the sisters and brothers downstairs were walking away, so he raised his head and asked Ye Zhiheng opposite in a low voice, "When is the prince going back?" ”

Ye Zhiheng was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "The matter is done, let's leave tomorrow."

"Yes! When the slave returned, he arranged the carriage. Li Zhi said respectfully.

Speaking of Qiubai, after eating sugar gourds in three or two bites, she went to a fishing tackle shop, bought two cheapest fish hooks in it, and spent two pennies.

Now there are still two hours before Shen Shi, Qiu Bai took Qiu Ling and a few people to wander around the street, and when he saw a delicious snack, he bought one for Qiu Doudou and Qiu Xiaobao.

When the sun began to sink in the west, Qiubai went to fetch an ox cart and dragged a few people to the city gate.

Aunt Wang was already waiting at the gate of the city, so Qiubai pulled the ox cart and went out of the city with Aunt Wang and went to Qingshui Village.

Halfway through the wax moon, the snow also fell one after another, and it was three days at a time, and the rooftops and treetops on the ground were all white.

Little Ash is afraid of the cold, all day long hiding in the stove hole to sleep, once Qiu Ling lit a fire and almost burned it, and when Qiu Ling took out the firewood to fish out the little ash, most of the hair on its body was scorched, but fortunately there were no burns on the body.

Qiu Ling has a shadow in her heart since that time, and every time before making a fire, she has to stretch out her head and call for a long time, for fear of burning small ashes again.

When it came to the Spring Festival, Qiubai took out the pork belly bought in advance and began to make dumplings.

The kitchen door was tightly closed, and there was firewood burning in the stove, but the sisters and brothers didn't feel cold.

There are talking and laughing, and the dumplings are wrapped quickly.

Qiubai's favorite food in her previous life was fried dumplings, but unfortunately there was no cooking oil here, so she bought some lard and fried it herself, and filled it with a small clay pot.

She scooped two spoonfuls of pig's head with a spoon, cut them with chopsticks, and then put the dumplings into them one by one.

When the water boiled dry and the lid was lifted, a burst of aroma rushed in, and Qiubai couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

The dumplings are fried golden brown and look very good.

A pot couldn't fry much, she took the bowl handed by Qiu Ling and filled the dumplings, then wiped the burnt stains on the bottom of the pot with a rag, and put a spoonful of lard to scatter.

After frying three pots, the four sisters and brothers ate a fine meal.

Qiu Ling sat on the bench and touched her bulging belly, "Sister, it's the first time I've eaten this kind of dumpling, it's really delicious!" ”

"Uh-huh, it's delicious!" Autumn beans also echoed.

This Qiu Bai was very useful, and the corners of his mouth kept bending upward, obviously in a good mood.

After the Spring Festival, it will be the fifteenth in a flash.

In the previous life, Qiubai was the birthday of the fifteenth day of the first month.

When she first came here, she didn't even have to eat, and she wasn't in the mood to think about her birthday, but now that she has everything to eat and wear, she has the idea of celebrating her birthday.

She patted Qiu Ling, who was sitting on the side learning to accept the soles of her shoes, and asked, "Xiaoling, when is your birthday?"

"Birthday?" Qiu Ling pricked the needle into the sole of her shoe, frowned and thought about it seriously, but she didn't have a little impression, "I don't remember, I still gave it to me once when my mother was in good health, and now I don't remember, just remember...... It was in the first half of the year. ”

"I don't remember...... I don't even remember my birthday, so I won't remember her, Qiubai thought about it, and said, "I remember mine, but I don't remember yours, otherwise, let's spend it together, I'm the fifteenth day of the first month, it's today, let's celebrate our birthday together!" ”

Qiu Ling thought this was quite fun, so she said expectantly: "Okay! The four of us celebrated our birthday together, and it was so much fun! ”

So, the four sisters and brothers celebrated their birthdays together on this day.

In order to have the atmosphere of his birthday, Qiubai specially killed a rooster that had just changed its moult and stewed it with the shiitake mushrooms picked on the mountain.

After eating the fragrant chicken stewed mushrooms, Qiubai had the real sense of his birthday.
