Chapter Twenty-Fifth Meeting Three Little Animals
After thinking about it, Princess Hao added: "The eldest grandpa and the second grandpa have already sent food to our family. My father left a few taels of silver before going out, plus he got another 2 taels of silver from selling pheasants and rabbits yesterday.
, my mother asked me to buy clothes and food for the winter. Now it’s not a problem to survive the winter. Don’t worry about us. Grandpa and Grandpa are watching over us, so we won’t be hungry.”
He was afraid that the old man would be worried, so he didn't mention the money he got for rescuing people.
The old man was satisfied.
After the old man finished a bowl of tofu soup, Lingsu asked her second brother to take the bowl to the kitchen, and also sent the tofu and Qianzhang to her second grandfather's house. She stayed in the house and gave the old man a massage.
After the massage, Lingsu didn't leave the house until the old man fell asleep under her massage.
Over there, Gong Yuhao went to deliver tofu to the second grandpa's house. He just came back and wanted to go into the house to say goodbye to the old man, but Lingsu stopped him: "Grandpa's legs hurt. I'm afraid I haven't slept well in the past few days. I just gave him a massage."
It will activate blood circulation, relieve pain, and make him feel more comfortable. He has just fallen asleep. There is no need for the second brother to go in and wake up his old man. Let's just go and talk to my aunt."
The eldest grandpa and grandma were away from home visiting relatives, and the two cousins also went out to work. In addition to the old man, my aunt, aunt, and several cousins were at home.
At this moment, the boys were all studying in the library. Gong Yuhao took a look and quickly ran away.
The two brothers and sisters wanted to go back, and the eldest aunt, Mrs. Guo, came to see them off.
Lingsu said: "As for making tofu, you can tell my uncle when he comes back from visiting relatives."
Guo was helpless: "You little man is worrying so much. Okay, I will talk to your uncle about this."
But Ms. Guo felt that her father-in-law would not agree easily.
Doesn't this mean that Bai Zhan can pass down the family's craftsmanship to his nephew's family who has split up the family and build up a family fortune for his own family?
Not only did the old man know how to curse people, but even if others heard about it, they would still scold them for being unethical.
But Mr. Guo was extremely excited about this business.
She thought about it, and from the look of the girl Su, she sincerely wanted to let her family do this business. It would be a pity if she rejected it, but she could try to talk to her mother-in-law first and let her persuade her father-in-law to take over the business.
As for the old lady, I can leave it to my father-in-law.
The business is run by my own family, and my brother-in-law Yongwu's family is not bothered or distracted. His family is counted as a 30% member, so it does not take advantage of my brother-in-law's family.
Even if the old man knew about it, he wouldn't blame them.
Speaking of which, the old man's love for Brother Yongwu, the grandson of the next room, was not in vain.
The reason why the old man loved his next-door grandson at the beginning was really because he was the only child in the same family as his brother-in-law. Since his brother-in-law returned to his hometown from Beijing, the old man had always cared deeply about his eldest son.
More important than his own grandson. The old man was afraid of breaking his brother's bloodline.
The little property that the brother-in-law brought back from the capital was of course nothing to a wealthy family, but to the ordinary people digging in the countryside for food, it was a very important property. But the old man told his brother-in-law to keep it and not use any of it.
The income from the twenty acres of land inherited by my brother-in-law was saved for him every year and never used. His expenses for studying and daily expenses were all subsidized by the old man. It can be said that the old man spent all his life on
It happened to the brother-in-law next door.
Guo thought, fortunately, the pain was not in vain. My brother-in-law was extremely filial to the old man, his parents-in-law, and his second uncle. He was also his direct brother to his husband and his brothers. Several of his children studied with him.
, he treated it as if it had already happened, and really taught with all his heart.
Because the brother-in-law and his wife are filial, these children are also very close to their family.
Mrs. Guo was the eldest sister-in-law, and she was originally a kind-hearted person. Her three sisters-in-law, together with her second uncle's sister-in-law, all gave birth to sons. They had four brothers, and they gave birth to ten boys, so she was very concerned about her elder sister.
The three girls from the eldest brother-in-law's family are really rare. They usually love the three Lingsu sisters very much.
At this moment, while giving two jars of pickled vegetables to Lingsu, she kissed her warmly and told her: "One of the two jars contains pickled vegetables, and the other contains dried radishes. I'm afraid you don't have any pickles at home now.
The food has evened out a bit. Fortunately, your great-aunt and uncle made two large jars of pickled food in the autumn, so our family doesn’t lack it. You can come and get it after you finish eating."
Lingsu was not polite and said goodbye to Mr. Guo while holding a jar in one hand.
After arriving home, Lingsu helped her mother and Lingyu make quilts and clothes. Qixun went to cut cattails by herself.
Gong Yuhao then found a shovel and started digging the pond at the spot where he had drawn a line seven feet behind the house.
Qixun had been cutting cattails for a long time, and when he met a tribesman, they were puzzled: "This thing doesn't burn as well as thatch and reeds. What are you doing cutting it? You might as well cut some reeds."
At the age of six or seven, a country girl can already help the family with a lot of work, so it is not surprising to others that she comes out to cut the grass.
Qixun couldn't say that he wanted to make paper, so he just said vaguely: "I can't cut reeds. I have thatch at home."
They just asked casually without thinking of taking it seriously.
When she had cut two large bundles of cattail grass and was trying to see if she could pick them, she saw three little guys, Xiao Ba, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ten, driving two cows to graze.
It is estimated that the three little guys came out to help with the work after their morning classes.
The three of them did not ride on the ox, but only led the ox, walking with an air of disbelief.
Qixun felt that this scene should be matched with the BGM of "Mighty and high-spirited, crossing the Yalu River" to suit the scene.
If that doesn't work, it would be appropriate to add "The king asked me to patrol the mountains, and I'll take a look around the world."
It's a pity that it's the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. Otherwise, in the middle of summer, I would be wearing a lotus leaf hat, a red bellyband, and green shorts, riding on an old ox, playing a tune on the flute, surrounded by lush mountains and wild fields.
Green, that is the true fairy shepherd boy.
Seeing Qixun from a distance, the three little guys waved their hands at her. They felt so cute: "Little Miss Xun, little Miss Xun, we went to your house to play with you, and the second aunt said you came out to cut the grass."
"
Qixun's father is ranked after his two great-uncles. His father is four years younger than the eldest uncle and the same age as the eldest grandpa's second son. He is only about ten days older than him, so he is the second and youngest in the clan.
His cousins called him second uncle.
Therefore, the second and third sons in the grandpa's family are called third uncle and fourth uncle.
The second grandfather's son is the youngest, and he is called Fifth Uncle. The Qixun brothers and sisters call him Fifth Uncle.
In fact, strictly speaking, Qixun and the second brother were adopted as heirs to the grandfather's family. These cousins should be called cousins in theory.
It's just that his second brother has not yet married, and lives with his parents. He has not opened a separate family, so he is called according to his own family ranking.
Qixun smiled and said, "I asked Third Sister to keep the fruit for you, but are you ready to eat it?"
Xiao Shi patted the pocket sewn in front of his belly: "Yes, yes. Third sister caught us a lot of big red dates, which are very sweet. I didn't give you the persimmons. Third sister said that persimmons are easy to crush and told us to go back."
I’ll get it when the time comes.”
Xiaoba saw that she had cut two large bundles of cattail grass, and felt that she would not be able to lift them.
In fact, even though it was two big bundles, it actually didn't weigh much. But no matter how light it was, it would definitely be too much for Qi Xun's eight-year-old body to travel more than a mile away from home.
Xiaoba is only one year younger than Qixun. He is the grandson of the second grandfather’s family. He is very sensible. When he saw this, he was worried: "Sister Xiaoxun, can you pick it? How about you put it on the cow and we will send it back to you?"
Qixun waved his hand: "No, I told my brother before I came and asked him to pick me up before lunch."
