Tao Hongying had been tired all day and her arms were sore. She only took a few bites and then put down her chopsticks.
Jiayin noticed it, so she took a spoon and fed her mother custard one mouthful at a time.
She was thinking in her mind that after these busy days, she would quickly start a small business for her mother, so that she would not be so tired and give her mother a chance to shine!
Tao Hongying didn't know that her daughter was secretly planning something for her. She ate the egg custard and rubbed her little soft hair with her head. Even though she was a little tired, she felt very at ease... The
next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, but because the restaurant was doing well, everyone went as usual. Busy.
But I came back early in the afternoon, because every family would get together to enjoy the moon in the evening.
The old lady and Mrs. Cui, along with Grandma He, Sister-in-law Qiong, and Dongmei, worked hard for most of the day. They got up early and distributed mooncakes to every house in the village.
Not even the teachers and children in the school were left behind.
After noon, they began to prepare various ingredients.
Those that can be blanched, those that can be washed are washed, and they are neatly stacked. Even the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are placed next to the pot.
Then, Tao Hongying and Jia Huan were asked to go to the stove to stir-fry, fearing that they would be too tired.
Originally, Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru were supposed to come back with their children, but for some unknown reason, the academy only gave them a half-day holiday, and the students were not allowed to leave the small town of Luo'an.
In this way, Jiaren and Brother Li couldn't come back in time.
How could Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru leave their two children alone to celebrate the festival, so they could only send a message to the restaurant and tell their families that they would stay in Luo'an for the festival.
Mrs. Li didn't care either.
When children and grandchildren grow up, they can no longer stay together like they did when they were children. As long as they know they are safe, that's enough.
And this year, the eldest son she misses the most has returned home. If she is still dissatisfied, it is because she is too greedy.
But she was as curious as everyone else about the fact that school would not be on holiday.
So, after dinner, the dining table was cleared, and everyone set out fruits, tea, and moon cakes in the courtyard. While admiring the moon together, Mrs. Li chased the children away and asked a few questions in a low voice.
There were many people talking in the restaurant, and you could hear a word or two about everything. Li Zhensheng replied: "I heard that there was a student in the college who had contact with a peasant girl outside the town, and caused some trouble. The peasant girl's family We found the academy and made a fuss.
"The dean of the academy discussed with the gentlemen and decided not to give students a full day off before the Chinese New Year. Even the one-day break every ten days will be changed to a half-day break every five days. "
Everyone nodded, and then they understood.
Jia Huan has not been in Luo'an these days, and has been busy in the kitchen today. He didn't know about this. Now, after hearing a few words, he felt guilty and scared, and he was even more grateful.
Although he and Wenjuan had never held hands before, after all, they had been walking around privately for so long, and it was neither emotional nor reasonable!
Fortunately, the concubine of the Peng family was greedy for their own shop, and grandma happened to come to the door and settled the matter in time. .
Otherwise, it would be him and Wenjuan who are being talked about, ridiculed and humiliated by everyone now...
The more Jia Huan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but tremble.
At this time, Jiayin ran over and squeezed into his arms. He shouted, "Brother, I want a hug!"
Jia Huan easily put his sister on his lap and sat down. The chubby little girl seemed to have endless heat in her body, so he subconsciously hugged her a little tighter.
Jiayin leaned against her brother. In his arms, he gnawed on the fruit and asked vaguely: "Brother, is my shell bed still there? Has it been stolen? Brother must look after it for me, that's mine! "
Jia Huan remembered that during the day, someone really offered a high price to buy that big shell for his children, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, it's not just me, uncle, and fourth aunt, everyone is watching for you. , Let alone outsiders who want to steal it, they can't even touch it!"
"Humph, that's pretty much it! All mine is mine!"
Jiayin waved her little hand proudly, as if there was silver in the air, and tried her best to hug her back.
Jia Huan smiled and held her tightly wrapped little hand, "Yes, it's all yours, and this rice dumpling is yours too!"
Jiayin not only didn't get angry, but instead rolled her eyes and immediately acted coquettishly, "Brother, what did grandma say to eat?" What are you patching up? I need to patch it up too, so that the wound can heal quickly!"
Jia Huan pretended not to understand, and responded with an embarrassed look on her face: "Ah, are you talking about zongzi? In this season, glutinous rice is easy to buy, but zongzi leaves are scary. There's no place to pick it!"
Jiayin stared anxiously, waving her little chubby hands more and more.
She wants to eat pig's knuckles, pig's knuckles, who said she wants to eat rice dumplings!
She eats whatever she needs to make up for it. After eating rice dumplings, does her little hand need to be tied up a few more layers?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Jiahuan more because of the scandal involving the academy students.
Seeing him "secretly" bullying his sister now, Jiayin was so angry that he almost burst into tears, and couldn't help but laugh.
Tao Hongying hugged her daughter, nodded her little nose, smiled and said scolding: "You are so presumptuous, just tell your brother what you want to eat, and he can't cook it for you, you have to be so presumptuous that you can eat and make up for it." !
"Then you are so greedy and thoughtful now. Is it because your family gave you too much pork belly and chicken hearts when you were a child?" "
Jiayin lowered her head and hugged the folded flesh on her belly, looking obedient and obedient.
This made Mrs. Li feel very distressed. She kept shouting to support her granddaughter, "What are you doing, what are you doing? Ah, my lucky girl just wants to eat a pig's trotters, and you guys take turns bullying her to no end! I will buy ten or eight of them tomorrow so that we Fu Niuers can eat enough!
Fu Niu'er immediately ran away from my mother's arms and ran towards her grandma, "Wow, grandma is the best! " Fu Niuer loves grandma the most!
"Grandma loves you the most too! " "Old Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter, gave her a big kiss, and said with a smile on her face.
The Li family is used to the granddaughter and granddaughter's daily routine, but others look at it with envy and feel weird.
After all, it's too shameful for people to love or not love each other. No one would say it even if they thought about it...
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses galloping in the distance. It turned out that the Marquis had returned with a few soldiers.
There was a night banquet in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he, the new Marquis of Xinting, could not miss it. , finally waited until he left, he took the token and called for the city gate to be opened and hurried back.
Everyone was happy and came forward to say hello.
Mr. Hou smelled of alcohol and was anxious to go back and change clothes, so he went with Mrs. Li He said: "Auntie, there is nothing delicious in the banquet in the palace. I am really hungry. Give me a bowl of noodles!"
"Hey, okay, okay! " "Old Mrs. Li quickly agreed.
So Mr. Hou took a bath and changed his clothes. When he came to the Li family yard again, there was not only a large bowl of bone soup noodles on the table, but also two dishes and a plate of egg pancakes.
Hou . The master was not polite. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. After he was full and drunk, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li Laoer joked: "Fortunately, I only received the official uniform and haven't gone to the official department to order it." Pass the name, otherwise I will be the one who is starving now.
