"Big girl, are you still literate?"

Sister Lin looked at the calligraphy on the table with incredible eyes, the ink on the calligraphy had not dried yet, and it was obvious that someone was writing on the table.

Lin Xiaomei was also a little dumbfounded, the literate girls in their village could be counted on one hand, and these girls were all married very well in the end.

"Yes, it's all taught by my mother. The big girl smiled lightly. Lin Damei and Lin Xiaomei looked at each other, no wonder they looked at Xianglan's cousin-in-law and how different from other people's sisters-in-law, her voice was soft, just like the wives of big families, it turned out that Xianglan's cousin-in-law could read and write.

"Aunt Cousin, I can also write!" Erya raised her little hand, and her little face was a little show-off.

"You usually know how to play, and you can write a few words, what is there to show off. The eldest girl glanced at her little sister, "Hmph, I know a lot of words, I will..."

Looking at the two little fingers stretched out by her sister, the eldest girl supported her forehead, and Lin eldest sister and Lin Xiaomei didn't know what the probability of a hundred words was, but it sounded like a lot, and they looked at the second girl with a look of adoration.

Erya's little face turned up slightly, "Aunt Cousin, I'll teach you to write your name!"

Lin Damei and Lin Xiaomei were pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

"Of course!" said Erya, sitting upright, lifting the brush on the table in a good manner, and writing "brush".

Lin Damei and Lin Xiaomei stepped forward and looked carefully at Erya writing on the paper, and their eyes became more and more adoring and excited, knowing that there are not many people in their village who can write their names.

The big girl and the little girl held her chest and watched.

Erya said as she wrote.

"Aunt Cousin, this is Lin!"

"This one is big!"

But when Erya wanted to write about the eldest sister's "sister", the brush in her hand suddenly paused, and her little eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Lin Damei and Lin Xiaomei kept paying attention to the words on the paper, and didn't notice the appearance of Erya frowning.

"What's wrong, why don't you continue to write?" Looking at her sister's appearance, how could the eldest girl not know that this little girl would definitely not be able to write the last word.

"Sister, why did the eldest sister's sister write it, I forgot. Erya stuck out her little tongue cutely, and said with an embarrassed little look.

The eldest girl shook her head with a smile, lifted the brush, and wrote the word "sister" on the paper.

"That's how it was written?" said with a look of sudden realization.

"Tell you to always play, now it's a slap in the face, who told you that you didn't want to work hard before!" the big girl looked like a big sister and taught a lesson.

"I just don't remember it for a while. Erya's little hand was behind her, and she pouted her head and muttered.

Lin Damei and Lin Xiaomei couldn't help laughing, in fact, even their sisters often quarrel, but they felt that the more they talked, the better the relationship.

However, looking at the three words "Sister Lin" on the paper, even Sister Lin and Sister Lin, who don't know words, can see that the "sister" written by Big Sister is beautiful and smooth.

"What about me?" said Lin Xiaomei, pointing at herself.

......

Inside the kitchen.

"Auntie, now that you are leaving, do you have any plans?"

Li Xianglan squatted in front of the stove, added dry firewood to the stove, and looked at Xia Dong Caodao who was cutting meat.

"What else can I plan, one step at a time. ”

Xia Dongcao shook her head, fortunately, the eldest sister and the younger sister are not children, except for some troubles in the future, there will be nothing else, maybe the days will be harder.

"Or, auntie, you and the eldest sister, the younger sister can live in our house, and you can also help me make tea eggs. Li Xianglan said.

"Niece and daughter-in-law, I understand your kindness. Xia Dongcao knew that Li Xianglan wanted to help them, but how could she, a divorced woman, take her two daughters to live in her nephew's house?

"You don't have to worry about us, your grandfather asked the village chief to help me find a house, the place is a little smaller, but it just happens to live with me and the eldest sister, the third little sister. ”

Li Xianglan didn't know what to say, so she only asked Xia Dongcao to open her mouth if she needed help in the future.

And in the main house, Xia Dongchun and Xia Chuanhe asked about Niu Dali's chickens, and now the villagers in Xishi Village are very polite to their Xia family, not because Niu Dali's chicken raising recipe is of great help to everyone in Xishi Village.

Not to mention the other villagers in Xishi Village, even the chickens raised by their Xia family are also raised by Niu Dali.

"Dali, how did you come up with that recipe? You don't know if there is anything else in our village, that is, there are a lot of earthworms, and in the past, our village did not use earthworms to raise chickens, but then they died, and we didn't dare to raise them like this. Xia Chuanhe said with a smile.

Many villagers are not wealthy, and who will feel distressed when they see the chickens they raised die inexplicably.

"It's nothing, I'm just good at observing!" Niu Dali said without blushing or panting.

However, Xia Chuanhe said that no one in Xishi Village had found a recipe for cooking earthworms to raise chickens, and he didn't believe it very much, according to Xia Chuanhe, there was a time when many people in Xishi Village caught earthworms and raised chickens.

But then the chickens died inexplicably, and immediately there were rumors that the earthworms would raise dead chickens, and nine times out of ten, according to conspiracy theories, someone deliberately did it.

Xia Dongchun and Xia Chuanhe did not doubt what Niu Dali said, but felt that Niu Dali was actually reasonable, as long as they observed carefully, they could still find that the big chicken would often peck at the insects on the ground to eat.

It's just that I didn't care about it before, and even if I did, I wouldn't deliberately pay attention to it.

After chatting for a while, lunch was quickly ready, and Xia Dongcao shouted and called for someone to come over for dinner.

Everyone is not an outsider, and they are not so particular, men, women and children sit together, sitting and eating lively.

Xia Dongchun and Xia Chuanhe were full of praise for the food on the table, and Lin Damei and Lin Xiaomei also ate very deliciously, but Xia Dongcao was puzzled in her heart.

Some of the dishes on the table were stir-fried by her, but why did they taste better than usual?

However, Xia Dongcao was only puzzled and didn't think much about it.

After eating, Xia Dongchun and Xia Chuanhe left with Xia Dongcao's mother and daughter, after all, Xia Dongchun and his son were working as short-term workers in a landlord's house, so naturally they couldn't stay in Niu Dali's house for long.

Niu Dali didn't keep much, and asked them to bring some spiced tea eggs back to eat.

Xia, Dongchun and a few people first refused, and finally had no choice but to accept it.

Niu Dali's family sent several members of the Xia family out of the door, and watched the Xia family leave in a donkey cart before returning to the house.

"Mother, don't you know that the eldest girl and the second girl taught us to write our names in the house?" Lin Xiaomei said with a particularly excited expression. "The eldest girl and the second girl are literate?" Xia Dongcao was stunned for a moment.

Even Xia Dongchun, who was driving the donkey cart, and Xia Chuanhe looked surprised, and looked at Lin Xiaomei together.
