Chapter 236

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, and my aunt will not interfere."

Just as he was talking, Li Yue came in with a plate in his hand.

"Mother, try the mung bean cake just out of the pan. Brother is back, are you tired?"

"It's okay. Did Tangtang make it herself?"

"Yes, an oven has been added to the new house in the west of the village. I recently learned how to make pastries from Mama Ma."

The conversation between the two was very disciplined, and Cheng Xue was satisfied.Li Yue is older than Pang Yao and Li Tian, ​​so her ability to accept and learn is much stronger.Seeing that she was "not full to eat", Mrs. Ma gave her a small stove and taught her how to make pastries.

"Brother Xin, try it too. Your sister is very experienced in making cakes. You put sweet-scented osmanthus honey in it, which is very fragrant."

Yan Yixin reached out to take it, took a bite and nodded.

"Soft, glutinous and sweet but not greasy, the ones made by Tangtang are better than those bought from Fucheng pastry shop."

"Brother, don't praise me, I still know how much I weigh."

"I'm not complimenting you, I'm telling the truth." Yan Yixin disposed of the mung bean cake in his hand, and picked up another piece.

At this moment, Cheng Xue felt that she was redundant and very bright.

Seeing the two children's eye contact, she reluctantly ate a piece of mung bean cake and refused to eat it.It's not that I don't like it, it's that it's too tired and a little supportive.

Yu Niang came in from the outside, holding an envelope in her hand.

I thought it was written by Li Hui, but I didn't expect it to be Zhou Fei's daughter-in-law, Lian Shi.The letter told her that a daughter was born there, weighing five and a half catties, on April [-]th.

I can't make it to Xisan, but I definitely have to go there, just in time to send Yan Yixin back to Tengfei Academy after finishing work at home.

"Let Li Zhong find time to find Master Gong, and say he will use the car the day after tomorrow."

"Ma'am, let Li Zhong go with you. There are Missy and Grandma Shuanzi in the workshop, they are enough." Yu Niang suggested.

Cheng Xue did not refuse, nodded, took out a piece of silver from the box, and handed it to Li Yue.

"Go to the Jinxiang Pavilion in the town to buy a gold lock and a small gold bracelet. Ask your brother to accompany you and bring Bai Shao."

"Okay." Li Yue agreed and went out.

Yan Yixin saluted, picked up two pieces of mung bean cake, and followed.

Yu Niang let out an "ouch" and reminded:
"Master Biao, I'm afraid he didn't have lunch and he's hungry."

Cheng Xue nodded, and waved her hands indifferently——

"Leave him alone, there is a lot of food in the town, he can't go hungry. You call Bai Zhi, let's make something for there together."

There must be no shortage of quilts or anything in the Zhou family, but what should be given and what should be given is her whole heart.

As for the hungry Yan Yixin, she is currently in the stage of being full of water, so don't bother.What's more, Li Yue won't let him go hungry, I'm afraid the little girl has already noticed...

……

The next day was sunny and cloudless, and the beam raising ceremony in the west of the village went smoothly.

No outsiders were found, only Master Wu and others, plus Cheng Xue's family and Yu Zhao's family.Dong Bin is a special case, he came here to "steal art".

The yard is almost covered, and the rest is the carpenter making cabinets and so on.With hands and feet, it will take another seven or eight days to complete the work.

The pool in the backyard has already been filled with water, and the pool is full of water chestnuts. If it can grow in August, I really want to eat it.

Standing in the pavilion is a bit cold, but the view is wide and the mood is comfortable.Not far away, Li Tian and the others were digging, and Trini followed.

"When my sister-in-law comes back from Fucheng, it's time for Yu Ting's marriage to be settled."

Cheng Xue nodded, took her arm, and said:

"That's right, my younger brother has grown up in a flash. Where's Yu Zhao?"

"I went to the forest farm, and said that there is still work to be done."

Yu Zhao is now an indispensable person in the forest farm, Xiao Feng trusts him very much, and most of the work is handed over to him.

"How's the girl from the chosen family? How's the family?"

"He's a nice person, and his family background is clean. My mother's family can't be said to be very rich, but it's better than my family before. The family has [-] acres of land." Wang replied.

"That's right." Cheng Xue joked with a smile, "Where's the house? Is it built?"

"Not yet, but it's already started. According to Yu Zhao, the family plans to build seven tile-roofed houses this time, spanning the courtyard from east to west, and completing it in one step."

The house has already been bought, Yu Huai is very bold this time, and plans to change the house he lives in to grow vegetables, and the family will move to a new house.

"Tangtang and I are not at home, so you have to worry about Tiantian and Sidan."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I have me at home. Yingjie likes to play with young ladies, and every day he opens his eyes and yells to look for young ladies." Wang laughed while talking, looking at Li Tian without blinking.

When he found out that the son with dirty hands was going to wipe the young lady's face, he hurriedly said "hey" to remind him, but was stopped by Cheng Xue.

Standing in the gazebo, the two watched Yu Yingjie wipe more and more dirty. In the end, Li Huai was not happy, and Li Tian just smiled and shook his head, and handed his handkerchief to his cousin.

Both are daughters of the Li family, but the two sisters have completely different personalities.It can't be said that Li Yue is not good, anyway, compared with the grinning and smiling Li Tian, ​​she is a level behind.

"Let's go, let's go ahead, there are Ma Shi and Bai Zhi here, don't worry."

Wang responded and followed, pointing to the square circled in the yard and asking:
"Sister-in-law, do you want to grow vegetables there?"

"I don't grow vegetables, I grow fruit trees, and I also grow grapes." Cheng Xue explained with a smile.

Wang's eyes lit up when he heard "fruit tree".The two pigs caught in March are growing well. If they can also plant some fruit trees in the backyard, the children's summer snacks will come out.

"How many fruit trees has my sister-in-law ordered? What do you have? Can you spare some?"

"It's nothing, just plums, cherries, and apricots. We don't have many fruit classes in Liaodong. If you want to plant, you can take two. I will order a lot. I plan to plant cherries outside the fence in the west of the village."

She is preparing for the future of the workshop, and she is also laying the foundation for the future shop of the Li family.

The dry goods store here has preserved apricots and plums, but there are no cans.She plans to make canned apricots, plums, and cherries in the future for sale in winter.

Liaodong wild cherries, despite their small size, are a bit sour, but they taste absolutely delicious after being steamed with sugar.I think when I was young, there was no refrigerator at home, so my grandfather used cans and bottles to do that.Thinking about it now, I still miss it. The sweet and sour taste is really delicious.

This is a relatively long front matter, at least it will not be implemented until the next year.

Walking to the front yard, I saw Dong Bin helping the carpenter.Since he worked as a carpenter here, he has taken leave at the forest farm.It can be seen that he really likes carpenters, and the skills he has learned are permanent.If you don't want to go to the forest farm in the future, you can pick up the work at home and support your family.

"How is Wu Bin, have you met yet?"

"I met Master Liu, you are really good, I can't use the Zuan knife well."

"Practice makes perfect." Master Liu smiled and continued to teach him, "If you hang out with us for three to five years, you will definitely become an apprentice."

Cheng Xue saw it clearly. When Dong Bin heard this, his eyes lit up with anticipation.It is estimated that it will not be long before the young man will have to go to the mountain to resign from his job.

Now that the battle situation in southern Xinjiang has stabilized, there will be no more conscription in the short term...
