"Mother, how do you arrange dinner?" Xie Chuntao took advantage of Zhou's to gossip with Mrs. Bai and came to Zhen's side to ask Zhen's opinion on dinner.

Xie Chuntao was still entertaining such a distinguished guest for the first time, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while.

The Bai family received Lord Liu Hong, and the meals and noodles were all arranged by the village chief, and the Bai family only provided the venue and vegetables.

Mrs. Hou Fu is different, her status is noble, she came to the Bai family in the name of relatives and friends, if she is like entertaining Liu Hong, it will look rusty and disrespectful.

"Kill two chickens and slaughter two geese, there are still ribs at home, and Da Zhuang has caught a few fish......" Xie Chuntao snapped his fingers, always feeling that it was too little.

"What haven't you eaten in the Marquis Mansion of the capital, what haven't you seen? I'm afraid that chickens, ducks, and fish are all eaten. Zhen shook his head and chuckled.

"What's for dinner?" Xie Chuntao asked apprehensively.

"Just make more fresh vegetables, beans, loofahs, pumpkins, cucumbers in our vegetable garden, pick the most tender ones, stir-fry, and use high heat." Zhen said.

"Is this okay?"

These dishes are too common, they are picked in the field at will, and they are also the most common dishes eaten by farmers every day in spring and summer.

Visitors to the house, which family doesn't have big fish and meat?

"It's not good to entertain others, but big families love to eat some fresh vegetables and vegetables, listen to me." Zhen said firmly.

"Then I'll listen to my mother. Last time, the Feng family girl loved to eat my steamed wotou, and I steamed it out. My mother just said that big families love to eat fresh vegetables and vegetables, and I also pick a handful of chrysanthemum sprouts in our yard, which is the most tender and freshest. ”

Xie Chuntao had a score in his heart.

Zhen nodded and continued: "The chicken and goose ribs you just said were also served. ”

Xie Chuntao said with a smile: "I was also about to say it, Mrs. Feng will not eat or not, and it will show that our family will not neglect the guests." ”

"You're very thoughtful."

Zhen nodded, very satisfied with Xie Chuntao's approach.

Xie Chuntao, who was praised by her mother-in-law, was in a good mood and carried a basket to pick vegetables in the vegetable field.

"Sister-in-law, Sister Ah Heng and I will help you pick vegetables."

After Xiao Fuyuan and Feng Zhiheng came down from the tree, they washed their faces, wiped their hands, and saw all kinds of fruits and vegetables in the vegetable field, Feng Zhiheng was very curious.

So Xiao Fuyuan took her to the vegetable field to help Xie Chuntao pick vegetables.

"Sister, Ah Heng, be careful of the mud under your feet." Xie Chuntao said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid." Ah Heng said that she was wearing Erlang's shoes and stepped on a foot of mud, and mud dots were splashed on her snow-white ankles.

"Sister Ah Heng, this is chrysanthemum sprouts." Xiao Fuyuan said, "This is the best, my sister-in-law fried it delicious." ”

"Hey, this is chrysanthemum sprouts, my mother likes to eat it the most, but she always says that the cook at home is too old."

Xie Chuntao said while picking: "The chrysanthemum sprouts are not released, and they must be picked and eaten to be fresh." ”

Xie Chuntao couldn't help admiring her mother-in-law, who was clear about the preferences of large families.

Thinking that my mother-in-law had worked as a helper in Huaicheng before, it was normal to know this.

"Is this a bean?" Feng Zhiheng asked.

"It's beans." Xiao Fuyuan said as he picked a handful and put it in Xie Chuntao's basket.

"I love dried beans. My chef makes dried bean buns, and I love them. Feng Zhiheng said.

"There are still dried beans dried at home last year, it's too late to make noodles today, let's wrap them for you tomorrow morning." Xie Chuntao said with a smile.

"Is there a nest tonight?" Feng Zhiheng asked.

"Yes, I know you love to eat, and I'm ready to eat." Xie Chuntao said with a smile.

Feng Zhiheng had never worked, and when he picked the cucumbers, he removed the cucumbers along with the vines, destroying a bunch of small tender melons.

"You see I'm clumsy." She said embarrassedly to Xiao Fuyuan.

"It's okay sister, let's not make trouble for my sister-in-law, I'll take you to see the flowers planted by my grandmother." Xiao Fuyuan took the cucumber in Feng Zhiheng's hand and handed it to Xie Chuntao's basket.

The northwest corner of the yard is planted with clumps of impatiens, sunflowers, lilacs, and moonflowers, which exude a charming fragrance in the evening breeze of late spring and early summer.

"This is henna, put alum to dye your nails red." Xiao Fuyuan pointed to the impatiens among the green leaves and said.

Feng Zhiheng is no stranger to this flower, and the maid who serves her often uses this to dye her nails in summer.

It's just that she hasn't dyed it.

"After eating, let's dye our nails at night, and Sister Qiu's color is the best." Xiao Fuyuan said.

Qiu Niang can use impatiens to adjust a good color, and the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in the village often come to her door to let her help with the adjustment.

Xie Chuntao and Qiu Niang made a table of dishes, mainly fresh vegetables and vegetables.

As soon as Zhou saw the tender wolfberry buds, he couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks.

"It's better in your township, you can eat fresh vegetables." Zhou said with a smile.

Xie Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Zhou took Feng Zhiheng to rest.

Feng Zhiheng insisted on sleeping with Xiao Fuyuan, and the maid pomegranate flower was arranged in Qiu Niang's house.

The Bai family was busy until the lights went out, so they had time to talk to Bai Panmei.

"Seeing that you have lost weight, is it too hard to study?" Zhen was quite distressed.

"It's okay, I don't think the fourth child has lost two taels of meat. There is no bitterness in studying, and the fourth child is not going to study, but not to enjoy happiness. Bai Muban said.

Zhen glanced at the white plank, and his son just didn't feel distressed.

Bai Panmei smiled: "Mother, I eat a lot, and the food in Huaishui Academy is good, because I am taller." ”

"You won the top spot in the exam this time, and you really fight for your family, but this is only the first step, and you will have a long road to the imperial examination in the future, so you can't be complacent." Mrs. White began to educate in mode.

"Milk, I know how heavy." Bai Panmei said.

"You were able to get the top spot in the exam this time thanks to your sister, last time I asked her to write you a note that you must be successful in the exam, you bring it with you every day, right?" White plank daily superstition said.

"I brought it with me, I brought it when I received it, and I put it under the pillow when I sleep at night." Bai Panmei said with a smile.

Bai Dazhuang echoed on the side: "My sister is Ling, so many people who have taken the Xiucai exam, you suddenly won the top spot, it is not your sister's credit who is the credit." ”

Bai Dazhuang's daily sister blows online.

"Fourth brother, in the future, if you work hard, you will definitely pass the exam in Beijing in the future, and our family will count on you to support my sister. You don't know how Mrs. Prefectural Commander bullied her sister last time......"

Bai Dazhuang said this, and quickly stopped.

Old Lady Bai, Bai Muban, and Bai Erzhuang grasped the key point, and asked in unison, "When did you bully?" ”

"Mother, I, I can't help but tell Da Zhuang." Xie Chuntao is authentic.

Zhen knew that Mrs. Liu couldn't hide the fact that Mrs. Liu made Xiao Fuyuan a concubine at home during the Lotus Festival last year, so he thought about it and said what happened.

Sure enough, the faces of all the people in the Bai family were blackened.

"This stinky bitch." The old lady Bai gritted her teeth and scolded.

"What's wrong with the county order, and the county order will not be welcome at home in the future." Bai Muban blocked Liu Hong in his heart.

"Fourth brother, do you think Mrs. County Ling dares to make such a request to the girl of the Feng family? I'm just a showman who can't support my sister, so it's up to you. Bai Erzhuang said.

"And me, I will become a general in the future, and I will also support my sister." Bai Zhaomei jumped down from the chair and said.

Mrs. Bai looked at the scene of the whole family's large-scale support and expressed her feelings, and she was very satisfied.
