Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 21
Luo Tiandu poured another spoonful of broken rice into the hole of the stone mill, and when he turned his head, he saw Qingmei walking in with a little doll in brocade clothes.

The child was born with red lips and white teeth, and his small face was so tender that he could pinch water, Yuxue was cute.Luo Tian had seen a lot of little ghosts running around in the village with smears and two tubes of snot, and when he suddenly saw such a clean and beautiful doll, he liked it very much and couldn't help but take a second look.

Just these two eyes made Qingmei misunderstand her.Qingmei put the child on the ground and waved to her.

Luo Tian looked to the left and right, and finally mouthed "Is that me" to Qingmei.

Qingmei nodded affirmatively, then Luo Tiandu put down the spoon, and reluctantly moved his legs over.

"Your name is Xiaodu, right? How old are you?" Qingmei squatted down, supported the young master with both hands, and asked her with a smile.

Luo Tiandu could only shake his head and answer like a child: "My name is Luo Tiandu, and I am five years old today."

Qingmei was a little surprised: "Young master is also five years old, but he is the same age as you."

Luo Tiandu also widened his eyes.

That little kid doesn't seem to be the same age as her!Due to long-term lack of food and malnutrition, she is already short and small. This Xiaoyu doll is actually younger than her, and she looks like she is less than four years old.

Of course, the young master of Tangtang County’s grandpa’s family cannot be so poor that he can’t get enough to eat. Thinking about the reason why he came to the county government, it’s probably because the adults pampered this little Mr. Tang too much, so he developed a partial eclipse and anorexia All kinds of bad habits, and a five-year-old child should carry a schoolbag to school, how can he be like a toddler, always asked to be carried away?

Luo Tiandu sighed deeply, captivity is really not conducive to the growth and development of children!There is a living example in front of you.

Qingmei glanced at Luo Tiandu, then suddenly raised her voice and said to Fang who was grinding the mill: "Sister Fang, you are busy here, I will take you to play with the young master in Xiaodu."

Fang Shi didn't like it, she smiled and said yes, and told Luo Tian not to be naughty, so that she could play with the young master.

Luo Tiandu secretly groaned in his heart.

It's one thing to like a little ghost, but another thing to play with him.She is really impatient to take care of children, and she is still a child of a rich family who has been pampered since she was a child. If she bumps into each other, the Tang family will drown her with their saliva.

Of course, the young master of the Tang family can't play in the kitchen.

Luo Tiandu followed Qingmei out of the kitchen, through a long corridor, and then through a moon gate, to the West Flower Hall.

This should be a small study room. There is a large desk in the room. There is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk. The room is filled with a strong fragrance of ink.

This can't be the county magistrate's study, right?
Luo Tiandu retracted his legs as he stepped towards the threshold.

Qingmei put the young master on the chair behind the desk, and pulled the chair closer to the desk so that it was easier for the child to move, then turned to look at Luo Tiandu with a smile.

"Come in, this is the young master's study, don't get in the way."

Luo Tian almost burst into tears.

A five-year-old kid has a study room of his own. How can this embarrass those who have worked for most of their lives and can't even afford a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones?It was her father, Luo Baisu, who was a scholar after all, not to mention the study room, if he wanted to read a book at night, he would be accused by Yao Shi of wasting it when he used lamp oil.

It's really different for everyone!

Young Master Tang sat on a chair, took out a pen and prepared to write large characters on the rice paper spread out.The desk is a large desk for ordinary people, and the chair is also a hard carved high-back grand master's chair. Mr. Tang is obviously a bit high when he is sitting, and his legs can't reach the ground, dangling in the air.

Luo Tiandu craned his neck curiously to look over. Several large characters had been written on the snow-white rice paper, and each stroke was very neat.

It was difficult for her to understand the Tang family's parenting style.A five-year-old child is not allowed to walk on the ground, but he has already been taught to read and write. He is seriously focused on intellectual development and neglects physical development. Judging from the skill of the big characters, it seems that he has been practicing for a while. At least Luo Tian thinks that he Just can't write it out.

There was also a half-old book on the desk, Luo Tian was bored, after asking Qing Mei what she meant, she held it in her hand and looked at it, it was a Three Character Classic.This is not surprising. This is the book that almost everyone reads for the enlightenment of young children in this day and age. The old patriarch of the Luo family also read this book for the enlightenment of young children in the village. Luo Tiandu focused his attention on the lower left corner of the title page with a little Childish italics.

Tang Ruoning.

"Aunt Qingmei, is the young master's name Ruoning?" She asked curiously.

In fact, she felt from the bottom of her heart that at Qingmei's age, the most she could call her was elder sister. Calling her auntie really made her old, but obviously that's what Mr. Tang called her. Could she still call her elder sister Qingmei and Mr. Zhan? Is it cheap?

Qingmei raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Yes, Xiaodu can also read?"

As if literacy is such a great thing.In the era of her previous life, as long as she was an individual, she could read a few words. Absolute "illiteracy" was already rare.

But here, being able to read and write is definitely the right of the upper class.

She blinked her eyes wide, pretending to be innocent and replied: "When my father was studying, he would also teach me to recognize a few words."

Qingmei nodded, thinking it over: "Tang Han seems to have mentioned that your father was also selected as a scholar, so it's no wonder."

Mr. Tang was immersed in writing large characters, when he heard Luo Tiandu mention his name, he turned his head and looked at Luo Tiandu with a pair of beautiful big eyes, his cheeks were bulging, it really made people love him more and more.

Luo Tian knew that she was talking to Qingmei and disturbed him, so he boasted: "Your handwriting is really beautiful."

She knows that to deal with children, the use of praise education is far more effective than reprimanding and beating.Sure enough, young master Tang Ruoning got the compliment, blushed and lowered his head to continue writing big characters.

Although Mr. Tang is young, even being restrained by the adults in his family, and he seldom walks, he can sit still and honestly wrote big characters for half an hour. Qing Mei said that he could rest, so he stopped writing .

When Luo Tian saw it, he was immediately in admiration.A child of this age is just a lively and active age, as if a piece of wax has been lit on his buttocks, and he can't calm down for a moment. Like Tang Ruoning, who sits for half an hour and writes boring big characters. It's not comparable to ordinary children. When it comes to reading and writing, those scholarly disciples have a lot of background.

During the break, Qingmei asked someone to bring in a plate of snacks, and Luo Tiandu also shared a piece of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

She doesn't eat sweets very much, and she only tasted this kind of soft and glutinous pastry, but Mr. Tang liked it very much, and ate three pieces in one go.

No wonder those who don't eat are full of snacks, so how can they have stomachs to eat!
"Xiaodu, eat more." Qingmei was still persuading her to eat more.

Luo Tiandu shook his head and said, "I've eaten too much, I won't be able to eat at night."

Compared with sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she still prefers to have a full meal. It would be even better if there is rice for dinner. She is not used to pasta anyway.

Qingmei thinks it is true: "Young master just doesn't like to eat, I am afraid that he will be hungry, so I have to prepare more snacks."

Children refuse to eat, adults prepare snacks, eat more snacks, the more they refuse to eat, such a vicious circle.

Luo Tian thought, as expected, picky eaters are still a bad habit formed by spoiling. If it were the skin monkeys in the village who were picky eaters and would not eat, the adults would get annoyed and starve you for a meal or two, and even the worst problems would be corrected for you. For obedient children, the most common threats from parents are "I won't give you food", or "If you cry again, I will sell you". Wherever there are children who refuse to eat, adults are anxious to try their best to coax them.

Of course she didn't dare to suggest that Qingmei should starve the young master twice, so she could only remind him tactfully as above. As for whether to listen or not, that was the Tang family's business and had nothing to do with her.

In the end, picky eaters are all caused by wealth!

Luo Tiandu was forced to sell his cuteness all afternoon, and practiced big characters all afternoon with little friend Tang Ruoning. At dinner time, he was finally relieved and returned to the kitchen yard to have dinner with Fang.

Dinner was eaten with Gu Sanniang Qingsao, and it was also a plate of green vegetables, a plate of pickled radishes, a large pot of sauerkraut bone soup, a large bowl of rice, and a sieve of yellow noodle buns.

The sauerkraut is marinated, very tasty, and it will whet your appetite.

Luo Tiandu and Shen Sanniang ate rice, while Mrs. Qing, Fang Shi and Luo Mingdu ate the pot of sauerkraut soup with a few yellow noodle buns to make their bellies round.

After dinner, a little maidservant whom I had never seen before came over and passed word that the old lady and madam had come to invite her.

The Fang family had never dealt with an official wife before, and she was at a loss after hearing this, so Shen Sanniang smiled and reminded her.

"Today, the young master ate a bowl of rice noodles that you steamed. The old lady is happy, so it's okay. Sister Fang, just rest assured. Our old lady is usually the most kind and kind. Sister Fang is blessed this time."

She is different from Mrs. Qing, she has served in the soup house since she was a child. Young master Tang came to the north and lost her appetite. She loves to eat, but she is greatly relieved, and Fang's attitude is also kind.

Luo Tian understood, it was because Madam Tang was happy to see that Tang Ruoning was willing to eat, and she probably wanted to reward them.All of her spirits came to a head, and she urged Fang to leave quickly.

Fang carried firewood in the middle of the night last night, and got up early today to drive the car. He didn't rest when he arrived at the county government office. He was busy grinding and steaming rice noodles all afternoon, and he was really tired. Yes, and took Luo Tiandu and sisters to the inner house to go to the room.

The old lady and Mrs. Tang who went to the room also had dinner, and took the time to meet the rice noodle chef who was specially invited from Qiushui Town.

Luo Tian raised his eyes and saw that the old lady was not very old, but a few locks of Chinese hair had already grown on her temples, which was more obvious against her gorgeous clothes.
