Li Er was stunned and annoyed the three widows the most, these people talked and drank water around the three widows, he also felt that it was an eyesore, and said: "It's okay, it's not what you said, you go back and make some fermented farmhouse fertilizer for half a month, don't you know if you try it?" The crops are much more honest than people, and whether the manure is useful or not, you will know when you try it. ”

The village chief Zhou of a plywood bridge next to him thought so, "Yes, go back and try it." ”

Village Chief Li smiled, "The family is in a mess now, and when the house is built, I will invite all my brothers to come to my house for dinner." ”

"Okay, that's it, we'll come to the door with gifts then." Several people did not dare to slack off on Lijia Village, which had a backstage, and they did not dare to offend.

Especially now that they have heard that the sweet potatoes in Lijia Village are very expensive and the yield is high, they are also counting on some sweet potato seedlings from Lijia Village next year.

Entering the village, Li Er frowned, "Village chief, you see that the three widows are talking and laughing with those old men, will they cause trouble for our village?" ”

Village Chief Li sighed, "People are under the big tree at the entrance of the village, people come and go, talking and chatting, and they are above board. Even if the government is in charge of the heavens and the earth, they don't dare to talk and fart in the middle! ”

Zhou Cuihua frowned, slightly worried, "I'm afraid that we have silver in our village, the foundation is shallow, and someone will come to steal the money, or steal our crops." ”

Li Er also nodded in a daze, echoing Zhou Cuihua's words, "Sister-in-law is right, big brother of the village chief, we have to be careful." The place where money is hidden at home must be tight. ”

Village Chief Li thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Okay, I will gather the villagers at night and let everyone be vigilant." ”

Liu Paner didn't have time to listen to the three widows grinding their teeth outside, and hurried home with Li Dabao.

There is hot water in the big vat in the yard, and Liu Paner is in the bamboo bathing shed, bathing and washing her hair, refreshing. As for Li Dabao, he took his clothes and ran directly to the creek and jumped in. This is the favorite bathing method of the boys in the village, which is convenient and hassle-free.

Liu Pan'er wore her hair loosely, although she had already wiped her hair, there were still water droplets at the ends of her hair.

The eldest daughter, Li Rong, took a towel and gently wiped it for her mother, while Liu Paner took out the two wooden boards that had kept accounts before, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she bought today, and began to copy the accounts.

When Li Dabao saw his mother writing, he quickly ran over, sat at the small table, and watched patiently, with envy in his eyes.

When will he be able to write? When will you be able to write such beautiful words?

With pen and paper, Liu Paner copied the account book very quickly, and cut the paper and bound it into an account book.

A knife of paper and a tael of silver, this is still the cheapest kind of paper in the bookstore. The brush is cheaper, and it also costs 200 wen, a piece of ordinary ink, 300 wen. As for the inkstone, I also bought the most ordinary one, two hundred wen.

To buy the most common set of writing instruments, you need two taels of silver, and you can buy two hundred catties of rice, or two hundred catties of flour.

No wonder there are not many people who read now, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are so expensive, plus the bundle, it costs nearly ten taels of silver a year.

She also bought "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names", and "Three Character Classic", three books for children's enlightenment, which were even more expensive. One is two taels of silver, and it adds up to six taels of silver.

Liu Paner believes in the importance of knowledge, it is necessary to read, no matter how expensive it is, you have to read.

She first teaches her children at home, and then sends them to school when the family house is built and the rice in the field is harvested.

It is also inconvenient to study, she inquired, the nearest splint bridge village to them, is also fifteen miles. It takes four or five hours for children to go back and forth to school.

Time is wasted on the road.

This can't be done, when the things in the village are sorted out, she will make some more money, build a school, and invite people to teach the children in the village. This matter is not her family's business, it is the time of the whole village, and when the time comes, she will ask Village Chief Li for help.

When the time comes, she will also be able to teach children arithmetic.

Liu Paner accompanied the children to study, and Liu went to cook.

Liu has already refined the fat and thin meat he bought, and the remaining oil residue was mixed with leeks and eaten dumplings.

Wash the fresh and tender leeks, control the water, cut them into small pieces, pour the fragrant oil residue into them, put oil and salt seasonings, and stir well.

Liu's rolling dumpling skin is particularly powerful, pushing the rolling pin in his right hand, holding the dumpling skin in his left hand, the middle of the rolled out dumpling skin is thick, the side is thin, round and slippery, not only good to wrap dumplings, but also delicious.

Liu Paner can only push the rolling stick with both hands to roll the dumpling skin, so that the middle and both sides of the rolled dumpling skin are the same thick, and the shape of the dumpling skin is also more casual. Some are long, some are wide, and some are still square, and when you are lucky, you can also happen to roll out a round one.

Although she doesn't know how to roll dumpling skins, Liu Paner is very good at making dumplings. Especially with the round dumpling skin rolled out by the sister-in-law, the dumplings wrapped out are like silver ingots, and they can also sit on the board, in rows, neat and tidy, which is particularly good-looking.

Li Dabao was boiling water, and when the water boiled, Liu, who had already rolled out the dumpling skin, was cooking dumplings with a large plate.

In the cauldron, the hot water is boiling and the heat is boiling.

The white dumplings are like fat geese jumping into the water, plopping and plopping.

Liu gently pushed the dumplings in the pot with a fence to prevent them from sticking together, and then covered the pot.

Water is added three times in the middle, and the dumplings are cooked and float up.

The children held bowls and waited for Liu to fill the dumplings.

Li Dabao brought over a big bowl and put it on the table, "Mother, this bowl is yours." ”

Liu Paner was cleaning up the flour on the table and sweeping the debris on the ground, when she saw the dumplings brought by Li Dabao, she smiled and said, "Thank you Dabao, you eat first, and I'll eat after sweeping the ground." ”

Li Dabao walked over, handed the chopsticks to Liu Paner, and snatched the broom in Liu Paner's hand, "Mother, you eat, I'll sweep." ”

Li Dabao often follows his mother to go around, he knows his mother's hard work best, and as far as he can, Li Dabao will try his best to honor his mother.

Li Dabao is sensible now, he knows that his mother is not a mother and son, so he wants to use a more filial piety to honor his mother. You can't talk about it all day long, and then you will be filial to your mother when you grow up.

No matter how small the act is, as long as it is done for the mother, it is also filial piety.

Liu Paner's heart is warm, and she can feel the changes of the children.

That's good!

The family ate dumplings around the table, Li Fang mashed a lot of garlic cloves with garlic mortars, became garlic paste, poured some vinegar and sesame oil, and when eating dumplings, a little dip was so fragrant that it could swallow all the tongue.

Liu filled a large plate of dumplings, "Third brother and sister, you eat first, I'll send a plate of dumplings to Grandma Li." ”

Li Dabao put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you have also worked hard all night, I will go to deliver dumplings to my grandmother." ”

Liu Shi was not polite, and handed the plate to Li Dabao, "Be careful, don't trip." ”

"Got it, auntie." Li Dabao has already gone out with dumplings, and with his actions, he is the man who will be the head of the family in the future.
