Chen Qingzhou was actually not tired, he stayed at the post station last night, he also had breakfast in the morning, and the carriage was not bumpy, and he slept before he arrived at the village.

But seeing his grandmother's worried look, he still smiled and responded, "Hey, I listen to milk."

Mother Chen watched Chen Qingzhou pick up chopsticks to eat, and her face suddenly smiled.

The Chen family doesn't have any rules of sleeping without eating, eating, or speaking, and Chen Qingzhou hasn't come back for so long, and he is also worried about Wang Taoqing.

As soon as he entered the house, he just told Chen's father about his situation in the Yuanzhou Mansion, and he had time to ask about the situation at home.

So he ate some and asked, "Milk, how is my home during this time when I am not at home?" Did my mother give birth? ”

Mother Chen said with a smile: "The family is fine, your mother started on the eighth day of the first month, and gave birth to a younger brother for you, and she hasn't chosen a name yet."

Your mother said that you are now studying and knowledgeable, and that you will name your brother when you come back. ”

After she finished speaking, she slowed down, and then asked, "Good grandson, didn't you say that you would come back after fifteen?" How did this come home today? ”

Chen Qingzhou didn't say anything about going to Beijing in a few days, he took a bite of rice, chewed and swallowed it, and drank another mouthful of soup before saying:

"Grandpa, grandma, Jin Nian and I got a place in Minglu Academy, and the ancestor said that let's leave for the capital at the end of the month, so that at the end of next month, we can enter the academy to study."

"What, leave at the end of the month?"

Chen's father and Chen's mother were stunned, they are both fifteen years old today, it won't be a few days later, and the eldest grandson will go out again...

They naturally knew that it was a good thing to go to the academy in the capital to study, but they were really reluctant to do so!

Wouldn't it be three months before I went and came back?

Chen's mother turned red all of a sudden.

Chen's father also had a sour nose.

Seeing this, Chen Qingzhou hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and patiently coaxed Chen's father and Chen's mother: "Grandpa, grandma, grandson knows that you are reluctant, but this matter is unavoidable, and grandchild doesn't want to miss the opportunity."

Besides, it's not that your grandson won't come back, you will eat and drink well at home, take good care of your body, and wait for your grandson to succeed in his studies and gain fame, and then take you all to the capital to enjoy happiness! ”

Chen's mother turned sideways, wiped a handful of tears, then looked at Chen Qingzhou with a smile and patted him lightly on the forehead.

"What you said, the milk can't let you go."

Chen Qingzhou smiled at Chen's mother, a little embarrassed, "Milk..."

"Alright, you eat quickly, and then go rest."

Mother Chen rubbed the top of his head again, her eyebrows and eyes full of love.

"Milk knows that our Qingzhou is an ambitious, milk is waiting, waiting for you to take the milk to the capital to enjoy happiness."

Father Chen was not to be outdone, coughed lightly, and after attracting the attention of the two, he said: "That's it, you can go boldly with confidence, study hard, and study hard."

When I come back, I will teach you everything I have learned, and when the time comes, I will go there... The end... Yes, in the end, maybe you can also take a fame test! ”

Chen Qingzhou snorted and laughed.

Chen's mother also glared at Chen's father with a smile, and said, "I'm a lot older, and I'm embarrassed to say this." ”

"What you said, Qingzhou is my grandson, and my grandson is smart, so I am not allowed to be a grandfather who is also smart.

What's wrong with a lot of age, I still have to try, and when the time comes, I will make a name for myself and let you know that I am very good! ”

Chen's father stiffened his neck, and what he said was eloquent, and Chen's mother, who was listening, rolled her eyes on the side, which was obviously not a serious matter.

Father Chen saw Chen's mother's disapproving appearance, and he was stunned in his heart.

After Chen Qingzhou left, he would hold the book left by Chen Qingzhou and read it, and if he encountered a word he didn't know, he would write it down first, and when he waited too much, he would take a piece of candy as a reward and ask the children who were studying in the village school.

And when Chen Qingzhou came back, he let Chen Qingzhou teach him when he was free, and after studying hard for seven or eight years, he really mustered up the courage to go down and took the test for the fame of a child, but he stopped at being a child.

Of course, that's all for later.

This will Chen Qingzhou looked at the two old men bickering, eating, and his heart was warm.

Family.

Su Mo and the others got out of the carriage, and of course the things did not fall.

After they were away for so many days, the chickens and ducks were kept in the shed outside, and Chen Cihai would come over every day to feed the chickens and ducks, and the vegetable patch was not neglected.

The yard is locked, Chen Cihai can't get in, so there is a lot of dust in the yard, and it is autumn, sometimes the wind is strong, and a lot of fallen leaves on the mountain are swept into the courtyard.

Su Mo took out the key, opened the lock, pushed the door open, and saw withered yellow fallen leaves covering the yard.

Su Mo made a quick decision, put things on the table in the hall, and then began to arrange work for everyone.

There was mountain spring water flowing down the reservoir outside, and Su Mo and Gu Qinhan went into the kitchen and took a wooden bucket to fetch water outside, which would be used to wet the handkerchief and wipe the bedroom later.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian swept the yard with a broom, and Gu Xingnian also gave a quick handkerchief and asked her to wipe the chairs and tables in the hall.

The family was busy, and after more than an hour, it was finally cleaned up.

Gu Xingnian lay on the sofa tiredly, rubbing her stomach with her little hands, and looked at Su Mo with blank eyes.

"Mother, I'm hungry~"

"Mother is going to cook noodles."

Su Mo rubbed her head, turned around and walked out.

There was no food in the kitchen, so Su Mo went to the vegetable field and pinched a handful of small greens, washed them in the kitchen and put them aside for later use, and then took out five eggs hidden in the tank.

Hot water was already boiling in the pot, and the dishes and chopsticks were soaked in it, Su Mo took a big bowl, put in wheat flour and water, and then Gu Qinhan came in and took over the kneading of the dough.

Su Mo was on the side, taking out the dishes and chopsticks that were running with hot water in the pot, and then scalding the knife and the board with hot water.

Gu Qinhan had a lot of strength, and kneading it was very easy for him, and when Su Mo was done, he also kneaded the noodles.

"I'll roll the noodles." Su Mo glanced at it and said, "You help me boil the pot water again and use it for boiling noodles." ”

Gu Qinhan nodded in response, got out of the way, washed the pot first, then poured water, covered the pot, and walked to the other side to light the fire.

Today is Gu Jinnian's birthday, so naturally he wants to cook longevity noodles.

Su Mo rolled out the noodles, then put condiments in the prepared bowl, scooped a spoonful of boiling water, and the noodle soup was ready.

At this time, put the noodles into the pot to cook, blanch the small greens, put them in a bowl, wash the other pot, fry the eggs, and cook the noodles.

"Let's go and ask the kids to eat noodles."

Su Mo said to Gu Qinhan, and the action of scooping noodles did not stop.

"Hmm."

Gu Qinhan stood up and patted the dust on his body, and after a while, Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian walked in and faced each other.

After lunch, Su Mo was not idle, went to catch a chicken and duck, and boiled water.

Then she went to the storeroom and rummaged through it, and there were still some potatoes left in the storeroom, and she picked out the ones that had not sprouted, and she could cook a dish later.

Braised duck, chicken stew, hot and sour shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with chili, steamed dried fish, and boiled vegetables.

Five dishes and one soup, there are enough for five people in the family.

Of course, the cake Su Mo did not forget.

After dinner at night, the table was cleaned up, the cake was taken out, and the family gathered together to celebrate Gu Jinnian's birthday.
