After dinner, Fu Jiulan and Leng Wan returned home.

The weather gradually turned cooler, Fu Jiulan went to boil water on the stove, and Leng Wan sorted out the things he bought today.

The bedding and cotton wool were all changed, the tea, rice, oil and salt were put away, and then the pigs were washed with plant ash.

After washing four or five times to make sure that there is no peculiar smell, Leng Wan prepared the seasoning, lit the newly bought stove, heated the oil in the pan, and threw the cut pig water and seasoning together and stir-fried, and suddenly the strange fragrance came out, adjusted the saltiness, added water and covered the lid and simmered.

The most important thing is the rich flavor of the old soup, but the cake is a fresh one, and the noodles will not be lit up tomorrow morning.

Leng Wan calculated the time of the fire, and had to add firewood to the stove in the middle of the night.

It's just that she is getting more and more sleepy with a big belly, and I'm afraid she won't wake up in the middle of the night.

So he moved his eyes to Fu Jiulan, who was boiling water and copying books by the fire while sitting by the stove.

The lights flickered, and Leng Wan looked at Fu Jiulan, who was hanging his head and his eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings.

His eyes were amazed by his powerful words.

As the saying goes, words are like people, and his handwriting is full of style and self-contained.

At first glance, it looks like I've worked hard and practiced well.

I don't know why such a person ended up here?

You must know that those who are sent to the mines to do conscription are all heinous sinners who have committed great crimes in the imperial court......

Fu Jiulan raised his head consciously, then looked at the woman in a daze, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "If you are tired, go to rest first, I will watch the stove." ”

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Leng Wan didn't hold on, her body was indeed prone to sleepiness.

Standing up from the bench, he yawned coldly, pointed to the stove and said in a vague voice, "About an hour later, you can add firewood, put more firewood, and burn until tomorrow, and you can't stop the fire." ”

Fu Jiulan nodded.

He had planned to finish copying the book overnight.

Leng Wan was really sleepy, and she fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.

When I woke up the next day, I smelled the soup boiling and fragrant, and walked directly to the simple kitchen without combing my cold hair.

Fu Jiulan was cleaning the mushrooms picked in the forest.

Leng Wan's eyes lit up, this is a good thing, it is fresh when added to the soup.

After Fu Jiulan finished washing, he scooped up the clean hot water and put it in another wooden basin, brought it to Leng Wan to wash, and explained: "I went to the mountains in the morning to pick up some, didn't you say last night that you wanted to add mountain mushrooms to the soup." ”

After he finished copying the book in the middle of the night, he only squinted a little, and when he saw someone going up the mountain before dawn, he followed him.

He also saw others picking up this mountain mushroom, so he picked up some of them.

Leng Wan nodded, these mountain mushrooms are non-toxic and edible, it is difficult for him to know that they can be picked back, and it can be regarded as an extra umami on the dinner table of the two.

Just as the man washed her with the water he had served, she was about to go to the stove to make a fire and paste chestnut cakes, but found that the man was already making a fire.

This kind of tacit understanding, which goes without saying much, always makes Leng Wan feel comfortable.

Leng Wan didn't delay, pierced a neat ball head, and began to add mushrooms and potatoes to the stew boiled last night.

At this time, the sky was bright, and Leng Wan waited for the pot to heat up and began to veneer the cake.

Aunt Niu came over early in the morning with a few children to help, but found that it was still late.

"You little couple are really diligent, and the work is almost done, but my wife is not at ease."

"Auntie is here."

Leng Wan smiled and said hello, Aunt Niu simply snatched Fu Jiulan's work to burn the fire, "Jiulang's hand is the material for reading at a glance, and this kind of rough work is still from the aunt." ”

When Fu Jiulan was serving in conscription, he used Fu Jiulang's name.

The household registration and roster made for him by the county magistrate are also under this name.

Fu Jiulan is just in the past, don't mention it.

He took the opportunity to give up his position to Aunt Niu, washed his hands and went to help Leng Wan knead his face.

Aunt Niu watched the husband and wife cooperate tacitly, and praised them again.

"Sister Wan is early, brother-in-law is early."

The four sons of Aunt Niu's family greeted each other in a neat manner, and the youngest one lay on Aunt Niu's back, babbling and drooling to learn to speak.

The four children who run on the ground automatically go to the yard to find the work they can do.

The eldest chopped wood, the second swept the floor, and the third and fourth found a thick stick together and carried a bucket to carry water.

The soup in the stove next to it boiled and bubble, and the rich aroma of meat mixed with the umami of mushrooms spread, and the whole room was filled with an enticing fragrance.

A few children drooled around the smelly stove, their stomachs gurgling.

But no one cried for food.

Very well-behaved.

Leng Wan couldn't help but smile, "This soup has to be boiled for a while, and when the cakes are cooked, let's taste them together." ”

Hearing this, the five little guys each snorted and looked at Leng Wan with bright eyes.

Fu Jiulan kneaded all the noodles.

After Leng Wan read it, she immediately asked him to read a book, "I don't need your help here, hurry up and go to the book." ”

"The book was copied overnight yesterday, and I will accompany Aunt Niu to the county seat later, and I will send it to the bookstore." Fu Jiulan's voice was faint, and he couldn't see his thoughts.

How much money can you make for copying a book?

Leng Wan glanced at him and said directly: "The family has money, and you can go to the county seat and ask about the academy registration later." ”

Fu Jiulan's eyes drooped and he didn't squeak.

In the dilapidated kitchen, Fu Jiulan only buried his head in work.

has no interest in Leng Wanti's going to school, and can even be said to be disgusted.

Leng Wan narrowed her eyes.

Something is wrong with this man!

Aren't all men of this age dedicated to their careers? How can I be the exception to this.

If she was really a person who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, she wouldn't force it, but when she saw this person's writing yesterday, it really could be framed for people to admire, and it looked too much.

She doesn't believe that people who write so well and look good will be a complete scumbag.

"Anyway, you have to go to this academy!"

Leng Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at Fu Jiulan without avoidance, "I paid all the tuition fees for the academy yesterday, even if you don't want to study, you have to go to the academy and pull those classmates and teachers to our booth to taste the stew we made." In the future, I will do more business, and I hope that these people in the academy can bring me customers! ”

"So, can I help you by going to the academy?"

"Of course! Who thinks there are many customers in business? Those who can afford to go to the town academy can afford to study, and their families have a little bit of a foundation. You should go and expand the source of customers for me, if your grades are better, those classmates will naturally look up to you and be more willing to make friends with you. ”

Fu Jiulan pursed her lips, as if thinking about the feasibility of her words.

He also wanted to find a way to earn more silver taels for Leng Wan as soon as possible.

Otherwise, after he left, only Leng Wan's orphans and widows were left with inconvenience, and if he didn't have more money to live with, life would be really difficult.

Between thoughts, the boil on the stove boiled, and the first pot of cakes was cooked.

The tangy fragrance hooks people's drool.
