Mrs. Wang frowned, a little annoyed, "What a big deal this is, why didn't you talk about it earlier? Xinqiu is the same, he is the son-in-law of the Wang family. Although he usually does business to make a living, there are officials in our Wang family, too. Scholarly family!"
Wang E quickly comforted the old lady, "I know my mother-in-law feels sorry for us because we lost our parents early, but we also respect my mother-in-law and don't want to worry my mother-in-law and disturb my uncle and eldest brother because of such a trivial matter... "
You girl, you are just a stranger. When your father was still here, he helped your uncle a lot. Your father only had a daughter like you. When he died, he personally entrusted it to me and your uncle. Don't talk about such a trivial matter." , even if it's such a big thing, your uncle and I can't just sit idly by and watch."
The old lady has been attending banquets recently, and being supported by others, she is full of confidence.
At this moment, she directly asked her mother-in-law to call her third son over.
Third Master Wang is also in his early thirties. Although he usually does business and takes care of public affairs, he comes from a noble family and has no lack of grace and momentum.
Wang E is also close to this third brother, and has often followed him and called him brother since he was a child.
At this time, when the brother and sister met Li, they heard that Wang Xinqiu was very angry because they were looking for an academy for Brother Li. Mr. Wang really couldn't laugh or cry.
"This is just a small matter. Just take Brother's post and send it to Luo'an Academy. Why bother making such a fuss? When I see Xinqiu another day, I will say something to him. Why don't you tell me if you have any difficulties?"
Wang E He was so happy that he quickly thanked his brother and said: "The master said that the third brother has been very busy recently. He can't help or cause trouble to the third brother. If he hadn't been drunk today, I wouldn't have had the chance to come here secretly."
"Well done. , that's how it should be, the family is separated and let outsiders laugh." Mr. Wang said a few more words and went out.
Soon, a servant brought a gold-gilt name card.
Wang E took it, beamed with joy, and thanked her mother-in-law again and again.
Mrs. Wang asked her mother-in-law to bring up two cut cantaloupe and said, "Come, let's try it together. This is the golden fruit named by the emperor. It tastes really good. I have eaten a few in the summer before, and I I fell in love with this taste. I thought it was out of season, but I didn't expect it would be sold again before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Your third brother managed to buy two baskets."
Wang E also heard about it, and coaxed the old lady while eating, " My aunt is lucky, and my third brother is really filial. I heard that this thing is worth a lot of money. I have only eaten jade melons before, but I have never seen this golden fruit."
"Yes, I heard that it is the broken fruit outside the city. Produced in Jintan, I don't know if it's because of the hot springs, but these fruits are also particularly sweet." Mrs. Wang invited with a smile, "I won't be busy in a few days, let's call some of your sisters-in-law and take you with us. My little nieces, let's go play together."
"Okay," Wang E was thinking about home and couldn't leave for a moment, so she said in a deceptive way, "But, Auntie, there's no rush in this matter. I heard that this hot spring is full of water in winter. It's hot. When it snows in winter, it will be more interesting to soak in the hot spring while enjoying the snow scenery. Then, we will book the hot spring at home for two days, so we don't have to worry about anyone bumping into us, and we will have more peace of mind."
"Yes, that 's right. As it should be, let's wait until the snow falls..."
The old man and the young man chatted for a long time before Wang E took her leave.
After returning home, Wang Yuanwai also sobered up. He was so happy when he saw the famous post. He couldn't help but praise his wife a few words, "Xiao'e, you are so kind. You didn't say anything about my worries, but you also gave me a message." Brother Li has built the ladder to the sky. As a good wife and mother, women all over the world must look up to you as a role model."
Wang E blushed and waved her hands quickly, "What do you say, sir? I should do it for you and the children."
Wang Yuanwai He quickly nodded in approval and said: "Tomorrow I will go to Luo'an Town to see if there is a suitable yard. At first, you will have to work harder. You will live there with Brother Li for a month or two, and wait for Brother Li. Once my son gets used to it, just leave two capable women to take care of him."
Wang E was a little worried about her family, so Wang Yuanwai hugged her and comforted her: "Don't worry, the academy is only a dozen miles away from Kyoto, just take a carriage. It'll be here in half an hour. I visit you often, and you can come back often."
Wang E thought about it, so she nodded, lay in her husband's arms, and whispered, "Okay, Master, please come back often. Look at me and my son."
"Of course. Brother Cat is too noisy. I'll take care of him for the time being. Just take care of Brother Li." Wang Yuanwai said with a smile on his face while stroking his wife's hair.
The couple was so harmonious and loving that the little maid and mother-in-law standing at the door were envious.
But what they didn't see was that Wang Yuanwai's smile didn't reach his eyes at all...
The next day was a beautiful and crisp autumn day. Every household in the new village started sharpening sickles and weaving baskets, preparing to wait for the millet on the mountain. After another drying, it is ready to be harvested.
Mrs. Li was sitting at the door of the yard, tapping a pile of pods.
In the spring, some rice bean seedlings were planted around the vegetable garden. Now, if you pull them out and dry them in the sun, then hit them with a wooden stick, the pods will explode, revealing beans covered with patterns.
These beans are about the size of peanuts. Soak them in water and cook them together with rice. They are delicate, soft and delicious.
Jiayin followed her grandma and helped her for a while, then yawned and ran to the linoleum to lie down and be lazy.
The fair and fat little girl was wearing a floral dress and trousers, with her arms resting on her head and her legs crossed.
This scene is so interesting to watch. Occasionally, when villagers pass by, they can't help but squat down and tease her.
The good news was too much to bother me, so I simply turned over and pretended to sleep.
The autumn wind brings a bit of coolness, which neutralizes the harshness of the sun. It is really comfortable.
Jiayin's mind was wandering in the space, and he put the chicken, duck and goose eggs he had saved in the past few days in one place, preparing to find an opportunity to stuff them into the kitchen.
In the fish pond in the corner of the courtyard, the small fry put in last year are now half a foot long.
The wild fish in the river are not as good as the farmed fish fry originally brought in the small courtyard. It is not easy to grow to such a size.
I'll take out a few fish tomorrow and make a crucian carp tofu soup. It's delicious and mainly for calcium supplement.
She has such a small body, she is already over two years old, she can't always gain weight or grow taller!
Jiayin secretly pinched her belly, imagining that she would turn into a ball if she put on her coat and pants in winter...
and those fat pigs, they never had the chance to be released and killed, but they were allowed to enjoy their happiness. , one by one eating fat heads and big ears.
They even fell in love freely... Just last month they gave birth to two litters of piglets, one with six and the other with seven.
It's only been less than a month, and they are all chubby, chubby, and have pink and white fur. They look so cute no matter how cute they are.
But Jiayin will not stop killing them just because they are cute!
She has already planned that in a few days, she will select a few young boars to be kept as breeding pigs, and castrate the rest into "eunuch pigs", which will also be beneficial to fattening. She will try to kill two of them during the Chinese New Year.
Speaking of fattening, it involves the five acres of private land behind the yard.
Because so many mouths have been added to the small yard, I am afraid that there will not be any leftover corn and potatoes from the harvest.
But Jiayin always wanted to give these two things to Mr. Ye to help Tianwu restore the country's strength and regain the country.
Although she is just a little girl, the Li family is also a small farming family.
But everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.
Without a prosperous and powerful country, how could there be a stable life for the people!
