Chapter Twenty-Seven: To the Great North Wang
"How can it be useless," Qin Si helped her wipe the ink off her fingers, "In the future, write me credit and keep accounts for the family, not all of them will be used." ”
Tang Juan just wanted to say that she knew something and kept enough accounts, but suddenly thought of something else, pursed her lips and fell silent, and wrote seriously.
In the future, if her own Xianggong is admitted to Xiucai, and she is even more powerful in the examination, she can't be illiterate in a few words, so if she says it, it will be a shame for Xianggong.
Seeing that her expression was wrong, Qin Si tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I just think that if I can't read and write in the future, I will drag Xianggong back, and people should say how Xianggong married a rural woman who can't read big words as a wife." Tang Juan said in a low voice.
Qin Si hurriedly held her hand and comforted, "Of course I don't think so, if someone wants to say it, I will refute him, I am a son-in-law, how can I dislike my lady!" ”
"I'm just afraid that I won't be able to pass the exam and won't be able to farm, and I'm afraid that my wife will divorce me."
Tang Juan couldn't help laughing, and patted Qin Si's shoulder in disgust, "Nonsense again." ”
"Hey, it's not nonsense, I really think so, and it won't change in the future, so I teach Wanwan the words that are commonly used, and don't teach you what poetry to write against the wind and snow, those are useless." Qin Si leaned on Tang Xuan's shoulder.
Tang Juan snorted, "I listen to Xianggong, I learn to write hard." ”
At night, after blowing out the lamp, Qin Si quietly went to Tang Juan's quilt, "Wanwan, why are we two quilts?" ”
The woman blushed slightly, "God, it's cold, Xianggong, your body bones are already weak, and it will be bad if you catch a cold in the middle of the night." ”
"Then I have to give Wanwan a quilt, what should I do if I kick the quilt in the middle of the night." Qin Si rubbed again, "Okay?" ”
Tang Wan couldn't resist him, so he had to agree, pulled the corner of the quilt and let people in, and folded Qin Si's quilt into a long strip and piled it on the side of the kang, "Sleep." ”
Qin Si hugged his wife with satisfaction and let out a long breath, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning, it was very good, Tang Juan just took the opportunity to clean up the house inside and out, what should be sunned, what should be wiped, and no matter how cold it is, there may not be such a good day.
Qin Si likes to do housework very much, and this cleaning up feels that although the Tang family's house is built well and the furniture is all good wood, it is very simple, and there is no superfluous.
"Wanwan, do you want to add a few pieces of furniture to our house?" Qin Si squatted by the basin to wash the rag.
Tang Juan slapped the quilt, "What does Xianggong want to add?" By the way, I have to make a table for my father-in-law, I can't always read and write on the kang table, and I have to make a bookshelf and make a good chair. ”
"I'm very comfortable on the kang and don't have to do it, I'm looking at Wanwan, you don't have a serious dressing table and wardrobe, and you want to find a craftsman to make a toothbrush." Qin Si straightened up and put the washed rag aside.
"Toothbrush?" Tang Juan was stunned, "What's that?" ”
"The toothbrush, upside down is brushing teeth, used by rich and noble people, it is better than willow branches, and it is strong, and it can be used for a long time." Qin Si entered the house and showed her the toothbrush he had drawn.
"What kind of hair is this?" Tang Juan was curious.
"Hmm...... I guess it's horse hair or pig hair. "Qin Si is not very sure.
Tang Juan took it and looked at it again, "This thing should be very expensive, right?" ”
"I'll have to go to the city to see if there's anything for sale, but I know how to do it, so we can get a few of our own first." Qin Si put away the paper, "Is there an old carpenter in the village?" ”
"No," Tang Juan shook his head, "Dabei Wang has." ”
Qin Si hissed and touched his chin, "Dabei Wang...... Check it out tomorrow. ”
"Okay, so you want to bring something home?" Tang Juan asked again.
"No," Qin Si waved his hand and simply refused neatly, "It's all separated, and it has nothing to do with them for a long time." ”
Tang Juan was naturally willing not to visit, the Qin family had been so the other before, she was reluctant.
Qin Sibao's vegetarian dumplings at noon, these days the family often eats lo-mei, and they will be tired of panicking, and the vegetarian dumplings are also very fragrant with garlic vinegar and spicy sauce.
In the afternoon, Tang Juan went to the field to take a look, and picked up some firewood and piled it up in the corner.
The old man in the village said that this winter will be extremely cold, and she must be prepared not to let her husband freeze.
After setting up a ladder, Tang Juan checked the roof and laid the felt early and fixed it.
"Wanwan?" Qin Si came out to see it, startled, and hurriedly went over to hold the ladder, "Come down quickly!" ”
"It's okay, that's it." Tang Juan fixed the last point, climbed down the ladder, and was hugged by Qin Si when he boarded, "Why don't you call me?" What if you fall? ”
Tang Juan patted him soothingly, "I'm careful, you see, the roof is covered with felt, and it's better in winter." ”
"It's not going to be cold, it's not too late to wait until Dad comes back, not next time." Qin Si was frightened.
"They all listen to each other." Tang Juan agreed.
Today, Don Boss hasn't come back yet, Tang Juan has written down the day, it's been five days, it's not too long, it's not too long, it's not yet the time when every household kills pigs for the New Year, and this trip is also to come back before the next year.
The next day, Tang Juan and Qin Si had breakfast and fed the poultry, so they took their things to Dabeiwang.
Tang Juan knew that there was an old carpenter in Dabeiwang, and he knew him when he was playing furniture a few years ago, and he went to the city to beat the wood that others did not provide by himself, and the money and silver were much more expensive.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, someone recognized Qin Silai, "Yo, isn't this a kid from the Qin family, why did you come back?" ”
"Come and find Uncle Zhang to get something." Qin Si responded with a smile.
"It's right to come to Uncle Zhang to make furniture, your house made a few new pieces of furniture a few days ago." The woman said.
Qin Si smiled, "Whatever my aunt said, it's all separated, they don't worry about me, and I don't have to worry about them, but is there something happy in the family?" ”
In this humane society, the most troublesome thing is to pay attention to favor and reputation, even if the family is separated, if the Qin family doesn't think about it anymore, they have to say hello lukewarmly when they meet on the street.
Like now, he didn't care at all, but he had to ask more.
Otherwise, people will say that he doesn't care about Lao Tzu and his sister-in-law.
"Didn't inform you? Your mother is not doing this authentically, your big house is married to a daughter-in-law, we only don't come to you, someone asked your mother and said that you are not filial. The woman pouted.
Tang Xuan's heart burst into flames, "I haven't listened to any news with Xianggong, if we listen, even if people don't come to the courtesy, we can be arranged casually behind our backs." ”
The woman nodded, "That's right, yes, you go to Lao Zhang." ”
All the way into the village, someone greeted Qin Si, Tang Juan was holding back the fire in his heart, and his face was not very good-looking, "Xianggong, let's go back and go to the city to find a carpenter." ”
"What's wrong?" Qin Si looked funny.
"She's ruining her husband's reputation! Or I said I wasn't here because I was sick? ”
