The 125th Lin Qingwen collects nitrate, and Aunt Zhao praises Baochai
Qingwen shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
In short, "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain", she doesn't believe it, she is a big living person, can she be stumped by such a little thing?
It was autumn and she found a small shovel and a bag and headed for the kitchen.
In the open space, Xiaoshi led a few children about his size, muttering the "Three Character Classic" in his mouth, and writing silently on the ground with a branch, but he worked very hard.
Seeing Qingwen coming, several children hurriedly put down branches and came around.
"What is this going on, girl? How did you pick up the shovel yourself? ”
Little Stone took the shovel over, and the other child took the cloth bag in her hand.
Qingwen shook her head and smiled, she actually forgot that she was the master of more than a dozen people.
The parents of these children are her slaves, and they are also her slaves.
As a college student born in the new era, raised under the red flag, and received more than 20 years of "equality and democracy" education, she has been through more than half a year, but she is still not used to her master's identity and not used to supporting her subordinates to work.
And looking at the bright eyes of these children, it seems that they don't have the consciousness of being a slave, but simply regard her as a person to be close to.
Entering the kitchen with a few children, Qingwen looked left and right, pointed to a layer of "hoarfrost" on the corner wall, and said, "Scrape those white things into the bag." ”
The children looked at each other in a daze, but they obediently complied.
One person held the mouth of the bag, and the other held a shovel, carefully putting away the layer of "hoarfrost".
When she went to the door of the thatched house again, Qingwen didn't go in, but only let the children go in and look carefully, and scraped the hoarfrost they found into the bag.
She also remembered that in the summer, Mu Nanfeng gave her all his saltpeter.
At that time, she stupidly accepted it all.
Later, Mu Nanfeng's scholar "unintentionally" mentioned that his son-in-law had been so hot that he couldn't sleep well for several nights.
Lin Qingwen realized it later, but she was embarrassed to mention it again, so she only made up her mind that she must collect some hoarfrost this year, refine saltpeter and return it to him.
is still the same sentence, it is not good to owe people anything, and it is a human affection to owe something.
When a few children came out of the hut, they couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what do you want these things for?" We also have this thing in the house where we live. ”
"I have it at home!"
"I have it at home!"
……
The children scrambled to shout.
Qingwen originally wanted to put some away in the thatched house and kitchen, but it was not easy for other people's homes to enter casually.
Since there are children, let them go back and get them.
"That's good! Please go and collect them all for me. ”
She bent down, like a cunning fox seducing a white and tender little rabbit, and whispered, "This is what I want to use to make ice, which of you collects the most, and who I will use it to make cold food next year." ”
"Cooking cold food?"
The children's eyes widened and they were still confused, but they soon dispersed and went their separate ways.
After a while, they each ran back with their own gains.
"Really capable! There will be cold food to eat next summer. Qingwen touched the heads of several children and praised.
"Girl, are you going to boil?"
Uncle Jiang didn't know when he came over, picked up most of the bag of nitrate and looked at it, and said with a smile, "That's not the work of the little girl, just put it here, and when the old decay is finished, the girl will come to pick it up again." ”
It turns out that Uncle Jiang also knows how to boil nitrate? The wisdom of ancient farmers cannot be underestimated, Lin Qingwen smiled happily and squinted.
In fact, she had only heard Mu Nanfeng talk about how to boil nitrate, but she hadn't really practiced it. It's good that someone is willing to do it for you.
……
Zizhuxuan, Xue Pan, Liu Xianglian and others have already left, and Baoyu is still waiting there.
Qingwen didn't stay any longer, took some fruit from the teahouse, and got into the carriage and went back to the city.
Walking to a bookstore, she got out of the car and bought another chess book.
After returning to Daguan Garden, she didn't go back to Tubi Villa, and went directly to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Zijuan was doing needlework under the porch, and when she saw her, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Miss Qing is here, our girl has gone to the second girl's house."
"Oh, exactly, I'm going to look for her there."
Qingwen came out after answering, and walked towards Ziling Continent.
The second girl Yingchun was sick, and Qingwen came to ask Daiyu to go to see her.
Walking into Zilingzhou, I saw Tanchun, Xichun, Xiangyun and Daiyu all sitting on the edge of the couch, talking to Yingchun who was half-lying on the couch.
Seeing Qingwen, Daiyu pouted and said, "I'm waiting for my sister when I get up early, who knows that you went out early in the morning." ”
"Didn't I know that the second girl was sick, and I wanted to stay in the house all day to recuperate, I must be bored, so I went out to buy a chess game to relieve her boredom. By the way, I bought some fruit to satisfy your cravings. ”
Qingwen took out the chess game and gave it to Yingchun, and gave the bag containing the tea fruit to Yingchun's big girl Siqi.
Si Qi hurriedly took a plate, put the tea fruit on the table, and brought a cup to Qingwen, pouring hot tea.
Yingchun opened the chess book, looked at it carefully for a while, and said happily: "Qing girl thought of my heart, the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I only like this 'chess'." ”
"Or is my sister thoughtful and considerate, how happy is the second sister? We, who were visiting the sick, came empty-handed. Daiyu grinned.
In fact, she grew up with Ying, Tan, and Xi since childhood, and there are really no such politeness between them.
"When it comes to thoughtfulness and properness, the first one has to be Sister Bao."
Tanchun looked respectful and said in a cool voice, "My aunt has come to my house several times to chatter, and I can't complain that others say that the baby girl is good, can be a person, and is very generous." Now it looks like it's really good.
How many things could his brother bring? He delivered it door to door, and did not leave a single thing untouched; doesn't show who is thin and who is thick, even the chain brother has thought of it. ”
Xiangyun said: "Speaking of being a person, I am most convinced by Sister Bao, no one can find fault with her body." ”
Xue Baochai is indeed a good person, and Qingwen really admires it.
Otherwise, how could she even accept the ruthless Aunt Zhao who wanted to take the lives of Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu, and praised her again and again?
Qingwen quietly looked at Daiyu, but saw her frowning, her eyes lowering and not knowing what she was thinking.
Xu wanted to praise his sister with a mouthful, but he didn't want others to praise Baochai, so he was a little unhappy, right?
"The sisters are here, I'll come and see the girl."
Baochai walked in with a chuckle, followed by Ying'er with a food box in her hand.
"People who are sick like to eat something light, and I thought that the lotus leaf soup I ate in your house that day would be better, so I had people make that small mold for our kitchen. My sisters have tasted it, how are you doing in your house? ”
Look, you really can't talk about people behind your back, and you will talk about people when you talk about it.
