Chapter 40: The Warden's Room

Li Fatya's mother and son's faces were wrinkled, and their eyes were full of regret, "Woo woo woo why there is still meat hidden in the rice!" I knew ...... earlier."

Chen Shoushan smiled angrily, and deliberately picked up a piece of chicken in slow motion, the golden chicken skin was connected to the meat, and a thin layer of chicken fat was sandwiched in the middle, which was fragrant at first glance.

Li Fatya's mother and son had big eyes and small eyes, and they drooled dryly.

Chen Shoushan lowered his head and took a bite, half a piece of meat without the chicken skin, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and half spit out a bone, "Hmm...... The chicken is tender and spicy enough, refreshing and fragrant, and the cooking skills of the fifth child are good. ”

Li Fatya's saliva accidentally flowed out of the corners of her mouth, her fat hand wiped it directly, her buttocks moved a few times on the stool, and she bumped into him and said, "Daddy~"

The little heads of Jinbao and Yinbao also gradually came together.

Chen Shoushan: "......"

Forget it, he's a big man who cares about his daughter-in-law and children.

He picked up the rice bowl, sandwiched all the chicken on it into the empty soup bowl, and pushed, "It's all for you." ”

Li Fatya's eyes lit up, her hand touched the edge of the bowl and became entangled, the duck soup and duck meat were all drunk by them, and the child's father ate a piece of chicken.

The mother and son blinked at each other and made a decision for a while, one grabbed a piece of chicken, and pushed the remaining two pieces of meat back to Chen Shoushan.

The corners of Chen Shoushan's mouth unconsciously hooked, and he took another big mouthful of rice, and the chicken juice penetrated all the rice, and it tasted very fragrant.

Li Fatya's eyes narrowed into a slit, and the chicken was chewed slowly in her mouth, until the taste of meat was almost gone.

Jinbao and Yinbao nibbled on the chicken, and were licking the taste of the bones with their little tongues.

Chen Shoushan sandwiched all the chicken in the soup bowl and divided half of the rice into it, "You guys take chopsticks and eat together." ”

Li Fatya didn't refuse to use chopsticks to feed Yinbao a mouthful of rice first.

Yinbao reluctantly put down the chicken bones, chewed the rice in his mouth, his little eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice said vaguely, "Brew it well!" ”

When Li Fatya and Jinbao heard this, they quickly took a bite of food, and both pairs of eyes lit up.

I don't know how the uncle cooked, the brown rice is as soft and glutinous as white rice, and the egg flavor of chicken juice and leeks is even more fragrant.

……

In the yard, the bamboo mats were full of golden corn, and Mrs. Chen had long forgotten about the children's picking dates.

Rui Rui gnawed out the red date kernel and handed the jujube meat to Xiao Fat Dun.

Xiao Chubby Dun held jujube meat with one paw, and ate the buns with a round face, and a handful of small derpy hair stood up on the top of his head, and his little fist was meaty.

Pandi couldn't help but have itchy fingers, so she wanted to rub and poke them, but she was afraid and didn't dare, so she kept pinching her fingers.

Dogan was eating fresh dates while watching the stones do the jujube grinding.

The stone puts a fresh jujube in its mouth, eats half of the jujube flesh directly, exposes the tip of the jujube core, and then takes three bamboo skewers and inserts it from the bottom of the jujube flesh to make it stand on the bench surface, and then installs two fresh jujubes on both ends of a slender bamboo piece, and it is done.

Put the bamboo slice in the middle of the jujube core to form a balance, the stone grabbed the little chubby dun's soft little paws, and gently pushed one end of the bamboo slice with his little index finger, the bamboo slice rotated, and the red dates at both ends circled each other, and stopped for a while and poked back and forth with his little finger several times.

Little Fat Dun's eyes sparkled, he broke free of his hand, stretched out his little finger and poked and poked and poked, and the bamboo piece fell off with a click.

Seeing this scene, the stone and the dog looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths slowly hooked up a wicked smile.

The little chubby face was stunned, the fat paw grabbed the bamboo piece and pressed it on the tip of the jujube, and the small eyes looked at the two ends of the bamboo slice, one high and one low, how is it different from the previous one!

The little guy was dumbfounded, Brother Shi obviously put it like this.

The stone and the dog laughed out loud.

Rui Rui was curious, so he picked up the bamboo piece with his little hand, looked at it twice, and seemed to find a point, and immediately hung it on the jujube core as soon as he put it down.

Stone/Dog's eyes widened at him, "Wow! Rui Rui is amazing! ”

Rui Rui shook his head and said, "No, Brother Shi is also amazing!" ”

Shi scratched his head and was not embarrassed, saying that he didn't stand up the bamboo piece for the first time he played, and he was so angry that he ate the dates, and said with a dry smile, "I have been familiar with this since I was a child, and Rui Rui will look at it!" ”

Rui Rui's ears reddened.

Xiao Chubby dun's eyes blinked, and when he saw that his brother could do it, he suddenly picked up the hanging bamboo slices, put them back on the jujube pits, and the bamboo slices became hanging at one end and falling off the stool at one end.

His pink little mouth opened slightly and was stunned, grabbed the bamboo piece and looked up and down a few times, and then put it on the jujube core still one high and one low, and it was the same again, back and forth several times.

The little guy was aggrieved and angry, and pointed to the bamboo piece to complain, "Giggle~ It's not bad, woo woo woo ......"

These words made the stones and the dog's eggs laugh so much that their stomachs hurt.

Rui Rui: "......"

Stupid brother!

In the room, Chen Shouxing was copying a book, he could already memorize the words in the book, he didn't even need to read the book, he quickly finished writing a page, checked the words on the book, and continued to copy the next page.

Zhao Miaomiao lowered her head and embroidered a fan, and said slowly, "Xianggong, when we sell books in the spring of next year, we can make a sum of money, and send Rui Rui to study for enlightenment, and it won't cost any silver for the time being, plus I do embroidery work and you write letters, the silver will definitely be enough." ”

Chen Shouxing raised his eyes and nodded, Kaichun sent Rui Rui to the old boy in the village for enlightenment, which was discussed by his husband and wife a long time ago.

Zhao Miaomiao continued, "I pondered that we now have more than 20 taels of silver in our hands, and after removing the silver needed to buy food and paper, pen and ink, there are still 20 taels of silver left. ”

Chen Shouxing listened and waited for her to finish speaking.

Zhao Miaomiao's eyes suddenly flashed and said, "This silver is also hoarding, Xianggong, you look for a house to see if there is a pawn house, let's pawn a house for five years and ten years, we don't live in rent, and wait until the pawn period, if the owner can return the silver on time, we can also earn a rent, if we can't return it, we will earn a lot, buy a house with less money and earn rent." ”

The pawn house is generally the owner who is in a hurry to use the money and is reluctant to the house, so selling the house pawn is also selling it alive.

Chen Shouxing hooked his lips and smiled, his daughter-in-law is virtuous and smart.

He thought for a while and said, "A small courtyard house in the county costs thirty-three taels of silver, a two-story building costs thirty-five taels of silver, and a pawn house is generally half of the house price, and our silver for a small courtyard house and a two-story building should be more than enough." ”

The corners of Zhao Miaomiao's mouth raised a smile, two small pear vortices appeared on her cheeks, and she kept muttering to him happily, "We rent the house to others, and we can collect four or five taels of silver a year, and I do embroidery work to remove the two taels of silver handed over to the family, and there are still four taels of silver left, and the money is usually spent on the silver earned by writing letters to people, and we won't sell books in another two years......"
