ng, winter melon should mature a few days earlier than fragrant melon.She took a step with her little chubby legs and was about to run over, but Gua Yang blocked the way, tripping her directly so she...For a while, the children couldn't sit still and ran out to play. They soon gathered with the other boys in the village and, before it got dark, they went up the mountain to have some fun.
By the time dinner was ready, Li Laotai had almost screamed herself hoarse just to get the children back home.
Tao Hongying made many delicious dishes, and the children ate them with relish.
Although the brothers from the Jia Ren family ran their own canteen, they weren't lacking in appetite. However, both Jia Ren and Li Ge'er were dedicated students and growing taller during those years. No matter how much they ate, they just didn't gain weight.
Meow Ge'er probably suffered a loss in his mother's womb. He has a huge appetite, but no matter how much he eats, he just doesn't gain weight.
This made Jiayin eat while secretly pinching her five-layered pork belly with resentment.
She must have a body type that gains weight even by drinking cold water.
So, it's really not that she's gluttonous, or that she has a sweet tooth, no, absolutely not...
Fat Jia Yin again successfully brainwashes herself and continues to live her round life!
The next day, after breakfast, Li Laoer took the newly dressed Jia Ren three brothers to Wen's house.
Jia Yin originally wanted to join the fun, but unfortunately, today was the day she had to hand in her work to Zhang Shini (the Divine Doctor). She wanted to slack off, but she was afraid of being scolded.
Thus, she could only clench her teeth and engage in a battle of wits and strength with Zhang, the divine physician.
In the afternoon, Lao Er came back by himself, causing Jia Yin to circle around her second uncle several times but she still didn't see her brothers.
Li Laotai was also looking for her grandson and asked, "Where is Jiarren"
Li Lao'er then said, "Mr. Peng has also arrived at the Wen family. I told Jia Ren and the others to follow his car and return to the academy together."
Li Laotai glared at her son. She was still hoping that the grandchildren could stay home for another night.
Jia Yin was also disappointed, pouting and sitting beside her grandmother, silently accusing her second uncle together.
Li Laoer chuckled, quickly recounting the events of the day, "Mr. Wen's side, I, Mr. Peng, Liu Ziheng, and Da Yong's brother-in-law Zhou, were all present."
"Grandfather Liu personally invited several friends of Cui University Scholar from his past to be witnesses.
"
"Over at the Guo family, Mr. Guo himself came with Wenhao. That Mr. Guo is incredibly thin; I think he doesn't have much time left."
Li Laotai sighed. Although she didn't like Mr. Guo, they were about the same age. Hearing news of his impending death still made her feel a pang of sadness.
She then said, "Wenhao has Mr. Wen as his teacher now, so in the future he will have someone to rely on. With that, Mr. Guo can also rest assured a lot. When people get old, they are not actually afraid of death, but rather they are afraid of letting go of their grandchildren."
Li Lao Er regretted saying those things, which made his mother's mood sour as well.
He quickly changed the subject, “Jiaren performed exceptionally well today. Old Master Liu and those old gentlemen tested his studies, all praising him highly. They even said that Jiaren will surely be successful in the future, definitely passing the imperial examinations with flying colors.”
As expected, upon hearing this, both Lao Tai Li and Jia Yin were delighted.
"Of course not," said Old Mrs. Li proudly, "Our family's eldest grandson, how could he be wrong"
Jia Yin was also holding her chin up high, very proud of herself. She secretly thought about whether she could squeeze out some free time to "translate" some of the books in the space and show them to her brother.
The Li family was a small farming household. Although his older brother worked hard, he still lacked the depth compared to those born into wealthy and scholarly families.
This is an innate shortcoming, not something that can be made up for by constantly trying to compensate.
If you want your brother to succeed more easily in the future, you should focus on the two characters "新奇" (innovation). It's okay if he lacks depth but has cutting-edge insights...
Life was passing by at a leisurely pace. After a light rain, mushrooms sprouted wildly in the mountains.
The village women, with Xiaocui leading the way, almost always returned home laden with their baskets.
To such an extent that every household would be willing to give Xiao Cui a bowl of their most delicious dish.
Hui-niang brought Xiao Cui to the Li family for a casual chat and laugh, saying that even though they didn't cook at home, their table wouldn't be empty.
Men went to help in Ercun less each day, it wasn't that they were lazy or unwilling to work for the wounded.
The change of seasons really is too quick. Just a few days ago, the corn leaves were still dark green, but now they're starting to turn yellow. When I squeeze a kernel, it's already starchy and ready to be harvested soon.
The other night, a litter of wild boars, big and small, seven or eight of them, ran in from somewhere.
The cornfield was ravaged, and the heartbroken village chief fumed with anger.
After a whole day of driving them out with all the men and boys from the village, they finally drove those invaders out of the cornfield.
A pig was awarded two sticks, and its family was sent to see the King of Hell. The villagers were happy to celebrate with a feast.
Wild boar meat is not delicious, the meat fibers are coarse, no matter how it is stewed, it will not be soft and tender, and there is a fishy smell. But with Tao Hongying, a great chef, in the village, this is just a small matter.
That night, each household received a large piece of meat, not to mention a small earthenware bowl of braised pork with tofu.
Li Yong's courtyard was home to Er Niu and her husband, plus five wounded soldiers, making a total of over ten people.
Hui Niang and Xiao Cuier were busy in the kitchen, adding a few more dishes and cooking a large pot of white rice.
Li Yong and Er Niu were holding two chubby children, sitting with the wounded in the courtyard, chatting idly.
The food was ready, and the men had set up a table in the yard, sitting around it.
Huiniang and Xiaocui were too lazy to go back and forth to the house for bowls and chopsticks, so they held their children and sat in the kitchen for a bite.
Although the wounded soldiers had been in the village for several days, they were still not used to it.
For example, this white rice with meat broth would make their tongues dance…
There was a young soldier, who had lost half his arm.
He put the rice bowl on the table, leaned over, and used his other hand to shovel food into his mouth. As he ate, he started to cry, "Woooo, I thought I was dead at the time, but I didn't expect that I'm still alive, and I have white rice and meat to eat. It's like a dream!"
Everyone knew he was remembering the battlefield in Jiangbei, and their hearts were heavy.
Li Yong quickly patted the young soldier's back and said with a smile, "It's all over now, don't think about it too much. The good days are still ahead!"
Wei Erniu also said in a deep voice: “That’s right, a real man shouldn't be ashamed of losing a few gold beans! We have a new house and a workshop now, so our lives will be much better in the future!”
"Not to mention eating braised pork, even eating meat every meal and drinking big bowls of alcohol is easy! Who knows, you might even be able to marry a wife and take on a concubine…"
"Wei Erniu, what are you saying!" Xiaocui heard it from the kitchen and couldn't help but shout.
Wei Erniu was so frightened that he shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice, "Oh my, I spoke out of turn!"
Everyone burst into laughter, forgetting the sadness of just moments ago!
The Li family courtyard was lively today. It was a rare occasion for both the marquis and Li Lao Si to return home for dinner, sitting together as everyone ate their fill.
But Li La Er might have stayed in town today. As dusk fell, there was still no sign of him.
The lord was afraid that Jiayin had eaten too much, so he carried her out for a walk to aid digestion.
Originally, the two of them were planning to go to Ercun Village to have a look. However, they ran into Li's carriage just outside the village.
Zheng Feng drove, Li Lao Er sat in the car, with many books around him, piled high.
The Marquis then asked, "Where did you buy so many books"
Li Lao'er looked strange and replied, "It wasn't bought, it was given to me by someone else."
