In a happy mood, Li Mo decided to make something delicious to reward Song Dashan that night.

Take out the last bit of white noodles at home, and let Song Dashan go to the vegetable garden to cut off the newly grown leeks and make dumplings tonight.

Hearing that he was eating dumplings tonight, not only Xiaobao was jumping happily, but Song Dashan also had bright eyes, and he cut the leek very fast.

After that, Li Mo was basically useless. From stuffing vegetables to kneading noodles, Song Dashan took it all by himself. In the end, Li Mo couldn't even make dumplings as fast as he could.

With Song Dashan, a meal of dumplings was made quickly, and a pot of hot water was heated, and the dumplings were poured in. After the dumplings were cooked, the whole family sat around the table and ate the delicious dumplings. It was beautiful, and Xiao Bao narrowed his eyes when he ate, and his little belly ate fifteen dumplings, and his belly was round.

Li Mo was full after eating ten dumplings, and all the rest went into Song Dashan's stomach. The whole family ate a round stomach and was full of satisfaction.

"Aunt Mo, can I still eat dumplings next time?" Xiaobao's nurse asked gruffly, looking at Li Mo eagerly.

The dumplings are so delicious, he has never eaten them before.

Of course, Li Mo was willing to satisfy the child with such a small wish. He nodded and agreed: "Of course, I will wait for Aunt Mo to go to town and buy a lot of flour. Little Bao will make it if he wants to eat it."

Xiaobao immediately laughed, already looking forward to the next dumpling.

It was too early to finish the dumplings, so Song Dashan directly took the chicken coop that had not been finished, and continued to make it with the candle in the hall.

Li Mo also sat at the table, holding Xiao Bao in his arms, and teaching Xiao Bao to count.

Xiaobao currently only recognizes two numbers, one is "one" and the other is "four". I don't know who he learned from these two numbers, but he doesn't know the other numbers.

Li Mo was going to teach him numbers within ten first, and each time he taught a number, he extended a few fingers accordingly and read the voice at the same time, and Xiaobao followed her to read it.

Li Mo discovered that Xiaobao was very smart. She only taught it twice, and he immediately remembered it, and he could directly count from one to ten.

Li Mo stretched out three fingers at random and asked Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, what is this?"

Xiao Bao's dark eyes rolled around, and he immediately replied, "This is three!"

Li Mo stretched out five fingers again, "What is this?"

Little Treasure thought for a moment and replied: "This is five!"

Li Mo bowed his head and kissed Xiaobao's face, complimenting: "We Xiaobao are so smart, we got all the answers right!"

Xiao Bao was praised for being shy and proud, with a flushed little face, and his eyes were shining while looking at Li Mo, and his eyes were longing for Li Mo to ask.

Li Mo followed his will and stretched out seven fingers again to let him recognize.

This time there were a lot of fingers. Xiao Bao broke Li Mo's hand and counted them one by one: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, this is seven!"

After Xiaobao finished speaking, he looked at Li Mo expectantly and asked her to announce the correct answer quickly.

Li Mo nodded, "Congratulations Xiaobao, you got it right again!"

Xiao Bao immediately "chuckled" and looked at Song Dashan, asking for praise in his eyes.

Song Dashan was listening to him all the time, and at the moment he smiled and touched Xiaobao's head to express his appreciation.

Li Mo was a little surprised by Xiaobao’s cleverness. He was just over three years old. No one had taught him before. The first time he recognized the number and taught it twice, he was really smart. Maybe he was a book student. material.

Li Mo knows that the children of this era, especially the children in the village, do not pay much attention to education. One reason is that there is a problem of conception. It is nothing to not study. The people in the village are basically illiterate. Another very important reason is that they study too much. It’s expensive, and you can’t read it if you don’t have money. Just like the good brother of Song Dazhu’s family, reading a book drags the whole family on. So many people are struggling to earn money for a scholar. How can the villagers dare to send their children to study casually .

However, as a modern person, Li Mo's concept of emphasizing education is deeply ingrained. It is absolutely impossible for her to watch children working at home without reading, so she plans to teach Xiaobao by herself first, and wait for Xiaobao to reach a certain age. So I sent him to a private school to study, and he didn't want to be successful, but it was good to learn some skills. It would be good to be a teacher or a clerk in the future, much better than a country guy who is facing the loess and having no food.

Fortunately, Xiaobao is still young. When she can study for a few years, she can teach some basic things first, save a little more money during the past few years, and then send Xiaobao to study in a private school.

What Li Mo didn't know was that because of her decision, a famous young man Tan Hua Lang was added to the Da Xia Dynasty, which was passed on as a good story for a while. Of course, this is something.

........................................

Early the next morning, while Li Mo and Xiao Bao were still asleep, Song Dashan prepared breakfast and went out.

When Li Mo woke up and ate breakfast, he didn't see Song Dashan's figure. He waited until the sun rose before Song Dashan came back, holding a big box in his hand.

Seeing Li Mo, Song Dashan immediately raised the box in his hand to show her, "Li Mo, look at the box I went to find Uncle Zhang."

Li Mo was puzzled, "What's this for?"

Song Dashan put the box in his hand on the ground, and said, "Don't you want to raise chickens? I heard that a batch of chicks have just hatched from our village's Uncle Zhao Laogen's house. I will go to his house to buy some chicks later. Zai, put it in a box first, and then you can stay in the cage when you grow up."

It turns out that the newborn chicks are kept in boxes.

Li Mo is still very happy to be able to raise chickens. She has long wanted to raise chickens. Otherwise, she would have to buy an egg if she wants to eat. Now she also went to Zhao Laogen's house with Song Dashan.

Zhao Laogen’s family specializes in brooding chicks. Anyone who wants to raise chickens in nearby villages will come to his house to buy them. Some people will give eggs to his family to hatch chicks, and some simply buy chicks directly from his house. .

When Li Mo and Song Dashan entered, a woman was moving the chicks from one box to another. A group of chicks were screaming "chirping", it was so lively.

Seeing the two of Li Mo, the woman immediately said hello, "Dashan, is this your wife?"

Song Dashan nodded, and then said, "Auntie, I want to buy some chicks from you."

The woman nodded and pointed to the box in front of her and said: "It’s a coincidence that you have just hatched a batch of chicks here. If you arrive later, you will be bought by someone else. Come and choose. ."

Song Dashan put the box he had brought on the ground, squatted on the ground and looked into the box containing the little chickens. Li Mo also squatted aside to look at it, but she could not see anything, feeling that a group of little chickens were all the same.

The woman asked, "How many roosters and hens do you want?"

Song Dashan thought about it and replied: "Ten hens and five roosters."

The woman nodded and pointed to the box and said: "The rooster is here, and the hen is in the box next to you. Pick it yourself."

Song Dashan took a close look at the group of chicks, and then carefully put his hand into the box, slowly took out a selected chick, and moved it to the box he brought.

Three cents for the hen and two cents for the rooster. Li Mo gave the woman forty cents when she finally picked it up.

When Song Dashan and the two came out of Zhao Laogen's house, Li Mo immediately couldn't help but stretch his head to look at the little chickens in the box. They were tender and small, looking cute and tight, and growing up. The latter is different at all.

"Brother Dashan, what do these little chickens eat? What do we feed them?" Li Mo asked.

Song Dashan said as he walked: "Such a big baby chicken, cooked with millet, and fed to them when they are broken."

Li Mo asked again: "How many times will I feed them that day?"

Song Dashan: "Feed three times a day."

Li Mo didn't know how to raise chickens at all, so he consulted Song Dashan all the way. When the two arrived home, they saw a carriage parked at the door of the house. Many villagers were looking around the carriage. A young man was standing there. At the gate, it seemed like waiting for something.

Li Mo and Song Dashan looked at each other and walked forward quickly.

Song Dashan asked the man standing at the door: "Who are you looking for?"

The young man glanced at Song Dashan and then at Li Mo behind Song Dashan. He seemed to be sure of something. He arched his hands at Song Dashan and Li Mo and asked, "Dare you ask if this is Song Dashan's house?"

Song Dashan replied: "My family's surname is indeed Song."

The man nodded, then walked to the carriage, and said to the carriage: "Mother, the man is back, come down."

As soon as the voice fell, the carriage curtain was lifted. A middle-aged woman got out of the carriage and saw Li Mo standing there. She immediately smiled and said, "Lady Song, I'm bothering you today."

Li Mo saw that this was the mother of Chen Xiaoting who went to town last time to put makeup on.

"Mrs. Chen, why are you here?" Li Mo greeted him and asked.

Mrs. Chen took Li Mo's hand and said softly, "I have something to ask you for help today. I don't know if it is convenient to go into the house and talk about it."

Li Mo reacted and immediately asked Song Dashan to open the door, greet the people into the house, and the carriage also pulled in.

As for the villagers who were onlookers at the door of the house, Li Mo just smiled and said that a friend came to visit, and then closed the door.

Madam Chen was surprised when she saw the dilapidated house after entering the door, but she hadn't seen the market before, so she immediately concealed the surprise and smiled and sat on the stool in the main room.

Li Mo brought two bowls of tea and said with a smile: "The house is simple and simple, there is no good tea. I hope that the wife and the son will be there."

Madam Chen immediately waved her hand: "Don't be so polite." After saying that, Song Dashan, who looked to the side, asked: "This is the maid-in-law of Song Niangzi?"

Li Mo nodded, "It is my family's head, called Song Dashan, you can just call Dashan."

Madam Chen nodded with a smile, but she was very puzzled in her heart. It was really hard to understand how such a beautiful and capable little lady married a man with ordinary looks and lame legs.

But she didn't come today to think about these things, she has more important things.

Mrs. Chen took up Li Mo's hand and said, "Miss Song, I am also entrusted by others when I came today. I knew about the makeup you gave to my little Ting before, and I want to invite you to Huaci. Makeup, I don’t know what you want? If you can, I’ll pick you up to town tomorrow."

Li Mo smiled and asked, "Is there a little lady who wants to get married?"

Madam Chen thought for a while and shook her head, "Not married, but it's the same."

What is almost the same? Li Mo was puzzled and asked directly: "Ms. Chen can tell who is looking for me to put on makeup? So that I can be prepared."

Mrs. Chen paused and leaned into Li Mo's ear and said, "I'll tell you, it's Miss Nine from the magistrate's family who wants you to put on makeup."

Li Mo was slightly surprised.
