The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 67

In fact, the villagers generally have better conditions in their homes, and they always have some water boiled with coarse tea leaves for entertaining guests, but the Zhong family even had to skip meals at that time, so there was no money left to buy things like tea, so they My family is used to living without tea, but now I realize that it is really inconvenient to come alone. Although there are no other people in his family, it is not good to have no tea, so Zhong Gensheng thought about buying it. When he came back with some crude tea, he had poured a glass of water for Niu Laogen from a bowl.

In the countryside, there are not so many particulars. Niu Laogen poured the water from the big sea bowl and poured it in his hand. He said with a smile, "This water must have been iced, it is very cool..."

"Yeah, my local girl is afraid of the heat, so I boil a big pot of boiling water every day, let it cool down, put it on a wooden plate, put it in the well to freeze it, and then drink it out, it's very comfortable..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "Autumn Tiger It's hot too..."

"Yes..." Niu Laogen rested for a while, and said, "If there is anything I need to help, I will help you..."

"No, you'd better talk to Xiaohua, there are many people working at home..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "Xiaohua is hardworking and not talkative, let her rest for a while today, usually working and making clothes is quite tiring... ..."

He Axiu smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaohua's female celebrity is really better than me..."

Niu Xiaohua lowered her head shyly. Seeing her smiling face like this, Niu Laogen no longer had the frowning face she had before, and the last trace of doubt in his heart dissipated. This was probably the best decision he made in his entire life. ...

As soon as Niu Laogen thought about it, he suddenly became enlightened, and he hesitated for a few days. As soon as the things that had been pressed in his heart were gone, he was in a particularly good mood. There was nothing to do but let her go in the end.

Niu Laogen is also an honest man, he just wants to do more work so that his family treats his daughter better, and it can be regarded as a way to repay their family's kindness to his daughter. Besides, he is not a talkative person. There's no need to say too much, besides, if Tian Guihua is mentioned too much, his daughter will be very sad, so he simply keeps silent and works hard.

He Axiu also came to persuade him once but was not persuaded, so she had no choice but to say: "Gen Sheng, you didn't stop me, if I had known about letting Lao Gen come over to work, I would have called him later, this..."

Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "Forget it, he has such a personality, just like our family. If he is more comfortable doing these things, we can just leave it alone. I haven't had time to buy wine, so I will buy some now..."

He Axiu hurriedly said: "Then go quickly..."

"Hey..." Zhong Gensheng walked out of the yard as he said that. Now he also has pocket money given to him by his daughter. Although it is only five taels more, these so-called pocket money are more than what they earned in a year in previous years. , he is very happy now...

Everyone in the family has a few small coins, and Shen Sisi lets them spend them as they please. If they can only get in and out, and they are too busy for money and can't enjoy it, then it is too boring.But she has more in hand, and if she saves more, she can buy a piece of land and build a house.

Zhong Gensheng came back after buying two bottles of wine, put them down, and said with a smile: "Tu Niu, father has to collect pigs tomorrow morning, you can take them to the city to sell braised pork..."

Before he knew it, he had already treated Shen Sisi like an adult.

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Father, I'm going to let it go for a day tomorrow to see their ability on their own. I can't just give up for the rest of my life and let them do it themselves. Now Er Gouzi and the others are on their way. As long as Dabao Just follow along..."

Dabao, she wants to cultivate a generation of profiteers. Dabao has to follow him from beginning to end, so he must go, and Shen Sisi has to let go slowly. Anyway, she only needs to take care of the overall situation, and it is impossible to do everything by herself. ...

Zhong Gensheng nodded with a smile and said, "Then let Dabao serve some snacks..."

Dabao was still a little apprehensive after hearing this, his father will not be here tomorrow, neither will Shen Sisi, he has already relied on Shen Sisi, so he immediately said nervously: "...Tu Niu, I will be alone tomorrow?!"

Shen Sisi glanced at him, and said: "What? Afraid of making a mistake?! You just need to memorize the algorithm I teach you every day, and show me the account when you come back. How could you make a mistake?!"

As soon as Dabao heard her mentioning the issue of calculating accounts, he immediately fell silent. He was a bit dull in reading, and he didn't have much talent in calculating accounts. Fortunately, he was careful and honest. Although he calculated slowly, he didn't make any mistakes. He didn't dare to disobey Shen Sisi, because he was afraid that she would teach him a lesson because he couldn't learn well. God knows, he had been beaten several times in terms of reading, writing, and accounting. The two boys are shrewd, they learn what they can do, they were born by the same father, why is there such a big difference? !Even Sibao can learn everything, which really makes him feel ashamed. Sometimes he has low self-esteem. Fortunately, he has already been beaten by Shen Sisi at such a time. When it hurts, he doesn't think about how to feel inferior. Otherwise, in comparison, he must be crazy...

"You have to stand alone in the future, or you will depend on me for the rest of your life?!" Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Hey, Dabao, be obedient, as long as you work hard, you will do well. Come back and tell me if you have anything to do. Someone is making trouble, isn't there the Four Treasures?! Let him go..."

"..." Sibao was shaving the pig's trotters, and the corner of his mouth twitched when he heard this, Nima, treat him as a dog, you can let him go if you want? !Want to go up? !This is also... too hateful.But he only dared to hurt her in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it...

"Yeah." Dabao didn't dare to answer, so he could only bite the bullet and prepare. No matter what, he couldn't let the local girl trouble him, and he couldn't even do this well enough to beat him up.

In the afternoon, four pots of meat and dried tofu were marinated, and these were put into wooden barrels. After the pot was emptied, Shen Sisi cut off the pig's ears, grabbed some marinated tofu, and cut a large plate The stewed pork came out and cut up and put them on the plate. He Axiu quickly fried a few side dishes from the backyard, added a large plate of braised pig's trotters and a large pot of offal, and the table was full.He Axiu even started to simmer bone soup in the kitchen to wrap white noodles and small ravioli and eat it...

When Niu Laogen sat on the table, he was shocked. He never expected that the food would be so good, even better than the Chinese New Year, and immediately fidgeted and said: "Gensheng, I'm not an outsider, what are you doing? Where are these many dishes?!"

Zhong Gensheng said: "There are no dishes. Our family usually eats this. We kill pigs every day. The rest are good things. Try it. It's made by my native girl's recipe. It tastes very good." , especially when the pig's trotters are marinated, it goes best with wine..."

He Axiu smiled and said: "Lao Gen, you're welcome, our family couldn't afford these things before, but now we're doing this stewed meat business, and these are leftovers..."

Niu Laogen was still not at ease, and murmured softly: "...I should buy some wine." He originally wanted to see his daughter wholeheartedly, but he forgot these etiquettes.

Niu Xiaohua sat beside Niu Laogen and said, "Father, don't think too much, the family eats these every day..."

"Really?!" Niu Laogen's pressure was reduced, and he breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xiao Hua with relief, such a good meal, it's no wonder Xiao Hua's complexion has improved a lot recently, that's why.

Zhong Gensheng quickly patted the mud seal of the wine and said: "Come on, Lao Gen, let's have a drink, drink more today, don't get drunk, between us, to be honest... from now on we will be a family..."

Niu Xiaohua and Dabao blushed, they just lowered their heads and didn't speak.

Niu Laogen was happy, and let go, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, the whole family is gone, come, have a drink..."

Shen Sisi was secretly having fun, eating with pancakes, and waiting for the bone broth to simmer for wontons.

Fortunately, the stuffing was done, the skin was rolled out, and the smell of bone soup came out. Shen Sisi and Niu Xiaohua went into the kitchen and started making wontons. The bowl came out, and each person shared a large bowl, and said with a smile: "Eat this, this is made of white bread, look at this crystal clear, delicious?!"

Niu Laogen looked at it and took a bite with a gratified smile, saying: "It's delicious, it tastes much better than the ones on the street..."

Zhong Gensheng's tongue got bigger from drinking, and he said with a blushing face: "...Old Gen, our family's life is much better now. In the past, the child was hungry...I really feel uncomfortable. Before, I couldn't eat meat once a year. Now Our family can eat meat every day, and seeing the children recover, I... I feel relieved... Woooo..."

Zhong Gensheng probably held back a lot these years, and when he drank too much, he couldn't control himself, and said with his tongue out: "...the drought that year almost drove our Zhong family to a dead end, now it's better... It's all right now... Our native girl... is our little God of Wealth, a blessing picked up by our family... Woooo..."

Niu Laogen didn't like it when he heard it, but he didn't hear the meaning of Zhong Gensheng's words, the blessings he picked up...

Shen Sisi also didn't understand it, and the others couldn't understand it. Only He Axiu felt sore when she heard it, and she couldn't help but shed some tears. How could she know that the eldest brother and sister-in-law who went to seek refuge with Zhong Gensheng... Those idleness, now I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. Over the years, they have lived a poor life, not only have they never asked for alimony, but most importantly, they have never asked about their situation in these years...

People who are poor are bullied, even their parents and brothers are like this, not to mention others, but the two couples are really disappointed. Every year, except for alimony to their parents, there is nothing else, letters or oral words. , Don't ask over there, no matter how hard they are, they don't want to talk about it. If they can't bear it, they will pass it.It's really over now...

"Our local girl... is really nice, if there is no her, how can the second treasure and the third treasure go to a private school?!" Zhong Gensheng sobbed, and then grabbed Niu Laogen and said: "...Lao Gen, don't worry, Our family is an honest family, and we will take good care of Xiao Hua in the future. You can put 1 hearts on our family's character..."

"Okay, okay, I believe you, Xiaohua is also a lucky child..." Niu Laogen supported him and said, "Just don't drink too much..."

"I'm happy, I'm happy today..." Zhong Gensheng smiled and said with his tongue out: "...Brother, I haven't touched anyone who drinks for several years... I must have a good drink today..."

Hearing this, Niu Laogen also felt a sense of pride, and said with a smile, "...well, we'll just drink enough today..."

Shen Sisi listened to the excitement of their conversation, and felt that the home was really comfortable. Although there were some minor annoyances in such days, they were really happy.

Seeing that they still wanted to continue drinking, they were allowed to stay in the yard. He Axiu and Niu Xiaohua went into the house to continue making clothes. Seeing that it was already dark, Shen Sisi led the four of them into the room. Lighting up the oil lamps bought from the city, he said, "You guys should practice yesterday's lesson well, and I'll go into the room to rest for a while..."

The four of them hurriedly nodded in agreement, but they didn't suspect anything.Shen Sisi hasn't entered the space for a few days, mainly because she really doesn't have time to spare, there are too many people in her family, she can't just disappear out of thin air, now she is in the same room with Niu Xiaohua, and now Niu Xiaohua has gone to He Axiu's room to do Clothes, she caught this opportunity today, she immediately entered the space, and then happily saw that the lotus root in the pond had grown up and emerged from the pond, she was very happy...
