My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 8 Chinese Cabbage

After thinking about it for a while, Ning Changrong, who was not feeling well, couldn't help but yell at Ning Changfu, "I like girls too, and there are still many things to do if you can't take the imperial examination. I don't know where the money comes from!"

He was really upset, what happened to the girl's family?Isn't it possible to make money to support a family in modern times?Who cares about broken imperial examinations, the court does nothing about personnel all day long, and he doesn't know when he looks at it!
Ning Changfu was a little overwhelmed by what his elder brother said, "Brother, I, I didn't mean that..."

Seeing Ning Changfu holding the child at a loss, Ning Changrong, who was a little angry, suddenly felt relieved. The other party didn't mean it. Those words were just based on the native thinking of ancient people.

"Okay, okay, don't say anything about boys and girls in the future, our family is not happy with this." Wang Xiujuan came out to smooth things over and spent a day with them at home. She probably knows the characters of these people. There are many minor problems, but no bad intentions. of.

"Okay, just pay attention in the future, Xixi is the eldest brother's life. I don't like people talking about her."

"Ah, ah, good brother." Seeing that the elder brother calmed down, Ning Changfu quickly expressed his opinion.

"Xixi, Second Uncle didn't mean that. Second Uncle is stupid and doesn't know how to praise others. He just thinks you are amazing."

Ning Qingxi didn't care, but she didn't expect her father to react so strongly.

He smiled sweetly at Ning Changfu, "It's okay, Second Uncle, I know Second Uncle wants to praise me for my good memory."

Ning Changgui and his wife didn't speak when Ning Changrong's face was not good-looking, they huddled in a corner and pretended not to exist.

Seeing that Ning Changrong calmed down, Ning Changgui hurriedly said, "Brother, our Xixi looks so good-looking, I want a daughter when I have a child."

Li Dafeng hurriedly responded, "Yes, I also want a daughter, if I can be half as smart as Xixi, then I will be very happy."

Ning Qingxi's family could clearly see that Ning Changgui and his wife were truly wonderful people.

It doesn't matter if this is true or not, at least it makes me feel at ease.

……

the next day.

Wang Xiujuan gave Ning Changrong ten Wen to spend in the city, and she saved the rest of the money.

By the time the Ning family got up, Ning Changrong had already left.

The original Wang Xiujuan has long stopped cooking, and Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei usually take turns to do housework.

Unless it is more precious food, she will end it in person.

Naturally, Wang Xiujuan herself was happy to be at leisure. There was really nothing to cook, and there was nothing she wanted. The hygienic conditions were terrible, and it was difficult for the pampered old lady to adapt to this condition.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. We can only get used to it slowly.

In Wang Xiujuan's room.

Ning Qingxi rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up, "Grandma, have you eaten yet?"

Wang Xiujuan rubbed Ning Qingxi's frizzy hair, and wanted to cut it off every time she saw it.

"You little girl has such a big heart, you can still sleep until 10 o'clock even in ancient times."

Ning Qingxi said coquettishly: "Oh, I have you and my father here? If I came here alone, I would be scared to death! How dare I sleep."

"It's a good thing our family wears it, otherwise I'll see what you will do." Wang Xiujuan tapped Ning Qingxi's forehead with her finger.

As soon as she thinks of her granddaughter traveling alone to ancient times, Wang Xiujuan's heart tightens, and she feels extremely uncomfortable. Whoever lives in this ancient poor world knows.Fortunately, the Bodhisattva blessed her family, and it was not in vain for her to offer incense for half her life.

The grandfather and grandson muttered on the bed for more than ten minutes before Wang Xiujuan realized that she came to wake Ning Qingxi up for dinner.

"Stop talking, hurry up and eat. There are only two meals a day, and if you miss one meal, you will starve to death. When your father earns money and pays the corvee, our family will eat three meals a day!"

"Grandma, what are you eating this morning? It won't be coarse grains and wild vegetables again, right?"

"What else to eat besides this? It's not that you don't know what our family has, but I asked your third aunt to make a bowl of cold mother-in-law. After blanching, it's not that bitter, and it's more or less a dish. It can be eaten these days, but it will be hard to find it in winter. I don’t know how to live without food this winter.”

"No, I have to ask them to quickly pick more edible vegetables and come back to dry them in the sun. Do you think there are Chinese cabbages in ancient times? If there are Chinese cabbages, we can make some kimchi."

When it came to eating, Ning Qingxi became energetic, "Grandma, wait for me to look up the encyclopedia."

Ning Qingxi, who was immersed in looking through the encyclopedia in her mind, seemed to be in a daze to outsiders, her eyes were blank, which made people feel panicked after reading it for a long time.

For some reason, when she closed her eyes, she couldn't see the book in her mind.So I can only keep my eyes open.

Wang Xiujuan and Ning Changrong specifically asked her not to use it when there were people around, otherwise people would think she was a ghost.

Ning Qingxi, who found the answer, looked happy, "Grandma! There may be Chinese cabbage here. The earliest Chinese cabbage appeared in the Zhou Dynasty, but the ancients called it Si. I think our agricultural tools here are all made of iron. It was a little bit more advanced in those days.”

"When my father comes back and ask him to inquire about it, you can also ask if anyone in our village knows."

Wang Xiujuan clapped her hands and said happily, "That's great! I'll go and ask today. Maybe someone in our village will know.

"Don't say this encyclopedia really looks like a computer, it can look up everything. Hurry up and let's go out."

The clothes here are a bit difficult to wear, Ning Qingxi is still getting used to it, Wang Xiujuan can't see it, she helps her put on her clothes in a few moments, cleans up and walks to the kitchen, Li Dafeng has just served the meal.

As for Fang Chunmei's share, it was brought to her room, one more egg than theirs.

The morning paste is paired with delicious mother-in-law, sprinkled with a little dogwood, it has a special taste, and Ning Qingxi feels that it is not so difficult to eat.

Of course, it is also possible that she started to adapt after eating a few meals.

In the courtyard in the afternoon.

Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi put the wild vegetables picked by Li Dafeng on a clean straw mat to dry.

After Li Dafeng washed the dishes, he went to the foot of the mountain to pick wild vegetables with a basket on his back.There was no need to wash the bowls, there was no oil or water anyway, and the ashes would be clean after a while. If Wang Xiujuan hadn't strongly demanded, she wouldn't even bother to wash the ashes.

Ning Changgui and Ning Changfu went to the foot of the mountain to cut firewood.

The straw mat was woven by Ning Changgui, who would have thought that a smooth-talking person would have this skill.

He is responsible for some straw mats at home.

The second child, Ning Changfu, is the main laborer in the field. Ning Changgui is not as strong as him, and his dexterity is better than him.

But Ning Changgui usually won't move if he can, unless his mother tells him to.

"Oh, sister Wang, are you busy?"

Wang Xiujuan, who was squatting to dry wild vegetables, looked up, "Sister Ding is here."

The people who came were Ren Cuiying and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ding, who came with a full stomach. They were very close to them and lived next to Ning's house.

"Why does your daughter-in-law come out with such a big belly?"

Wang Xiujuan looked at her protruding belly, trembling with fear.It is estimated that it is a matter of these days.

"Isn't it close to home? It takes a lot of time to walk around to give birth." Mrs. Ding was not as nervous as Wang Xiujuan, and her daughter-in-law had her second child.
