After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

After seeing the excitement, Li Kaishan asked everyone around him to disperse and go do whatever they had to do.

Some of them were gloating about the misfortune. Zhao Yumei usually acted like a young lady, but now she had lost all her dignity.

Of course, Li Chengye, who is a reader in the academy, does not know what happened at home.

After returning home, Yan Qingqing looked at Li Xiangkang and asked, "Tell me, why did you deliberately provoke her?"

Li Xiangkang defended in a low voice: "Mom, I didn't."

Yan Qingqing sneered and said, "I gave birth to you. I don't know what you are doing when you stick your butt out."

After saying this, Yan Qingqing felt that she was becoming more and more vulgar, probably because she had been in the village for a long time and was able to say anything.

Li Xiangkang groaned for a while and then said: "She used to bully my mother, and she was the one who caused the eldest sister to marry the lame man.

That time I heard the conversation between her and grandma. Originally grandma was still hesitant, but she said that the leprechaun could give her a betrothal gift of two taels of silver, which would help her study for a while. "

After saying that, he looked at Yan Qingqing's face and said, "Mom, I just didn't give her the buns, so she got angry. I know I was wrong."

Li Xiangkang thought Yan Qingqing was as afraid of Zhao Yumei as before.

Yan Qingqing touched Li Xiangkang's little head and said: "Who said our Silang was wrong.

Firstly, she bullied your mother and harmed your sister. Secondly, she scolded you for no reason. You did the right thing.

When your family gets rich in the future, your mother will send you to study. Remember to support your sisters in the future. "

Li Xiangping was very happy to hear this and asked cautiously: "Mom, can I really go to the academy to study like my uncle?"

Yan Qingqing nodded and replied: "Of course it's okay to study, but you can't imitate him as a person. It's natural for your mother to send you to study so that you can gain fame and benefit one party, but more importantly, I hope you can be sensible. I hope your life will be better. There is one more way out, one more possibility

Of course, the premise is that your mother has enough money. It is impossible for your mother to support you in your studies when your family has no livelihood.

Okay, don't think about these things now, let's go eat. "

Li Xiangkang nodded seriously after hearing this. He carefully noted down every word his mother said today.

The sun sets and rises again, and a new day begins again. Yan Qingqing got up early because she remembered to make a birthday cake for Mrs. Ding.

She first whipped the cream she made yesterday for a while until it had just the right consistency, then took out the cake base she made yesterday and started making it.

After all, the tools were not complete and it was extremely troublesome to do. Yan Qingqing could only do it bit by bit.

It took Yan Qingqing half an hour to make the surface of the cake smooth.

Then he used butter mixed with vegetable juice and wrote a poem on it, "From now on, the spring breeze will smile, and I will become a longevity immortal in the world."

Yan Qingqing took a look and saw that what she made was a two-layer cake. Overall, she was quite satisfied with it, but it felt a bit monotonous.

She would like to get some fruit to decorate it, but these days, even the rich, not to mention the poor like her, may not be able to afford fruit.

While Yan Qingqing was staring at the cake, Yuan Huiniang and the others got up.

Seeing that her mother-in-law got up earlier than herself, Yuan Huiniang said a little embarrassedly: "Mom, why do you get up so early? If you have any work, just ask me and my sisters to do it."

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Although this job looks easy, you really can't do it. I've done it all.

What do you think? "

Yuan Huiniang looked at it and sighed sincerely: "Mom is really ingenious, this cake is really beautiful.

There is writing on it, is it written by my mother? When did you know how to read? "

Yan Qingqing:......

How should she explain this? She didn't believe the mysterious masters, the old gods in her dreams, and the rhetoric commonly used by time travellers. How could Yuan Huiniang believe it?

Besides, ancient people just didn’t have that long history, and they didn’t have as many high-tech things as modern people, and it wasn’t like they were mentally ill.

Suddenly, Yan Qingqing had an idea and said, "I've never eaten pork and never seen a pig run away. Isn't there a scholar in the family who used to show off his nonsense every day? Even my mother has learned some things."

Yuan Huiniang immediately understood that Yan Qingqing was talking about Li Chengye, wasn't she? In the past few years since she was married, the eldest son of the Li family had dropped his book bag when he was at home.

Yan Qingqing saw that Yuan Huiniang had been fooled and said quickly: "You go pick some flowers, and I will decorate this cake. We have to go to the city quickly. If it is late and the hour passes, our work will be in vain."

Yuan Huiniang hurriedly exclaimed after hearing this, and then went out.

Qingqing carefully put the cake into the cake box prepared in advance.

Yan Qingqing asked Wang Daqiang, the son of Aunt Wang next door, to make the cake box. Wang Daqiang was a few years younger than Yan Qingqing. When he was young, he learned carpentry from a master in the city, although he didn't get the real inheritance. But making a box is not a problem.

Yan Qingqing also asked Wang Daqiang to carve simple patterns on the box. Although it is not particularly beautiful, this is the limit of what Yan Qingqing can do.

Yan Qingqing gave Wang Daqiang ten coins, but Wang Daqiang and Aunt Wang refused to accept it, saying it was a piece of cake.

Yan Qingqing didn't force it, she thought she could just return it when she had the chance in the future.

Soon Yuan Huiniang came back with many beautiful flowers, and Yan Qingqing simply arranged several kinds. The whole cake turned out to be much more beautiful.

At this time, several children got up and looked around the cake.

Li Xinniang asked: "Mom, is this the cake you are talking about? It's so beautiful."

Li Yueniang also said: "Mom is so amazing, you can actually come up with such a good thing. Even if you sell it, you can make a lot of money."

Li Xiangkang looked at Yan Qingqing and said, "Mom, how about I make you a cake when it's your birthday?"

No wonder Yan Qingqing likes Li Xiangkang, look at his sweet mouth.

Yan Qingqing scratched his nose and said, "Okay, but today you stay at home with your sister and keep an eye on Niuniu. I will go to the city with your sister-in-law."

When Yuan Huiniang heard that Yan Qingqing was going to take her to the city, she immediately beamed with joy. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, so she naturally yearned for the things Yueniang said.

Li Yueniang and the others were not unhappy either. Last time they followed their mother to the city, so today it's fair for my sister-in-law to follow them.

Li Xinniang said: "Mom, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of the family, my brothers, sisters and my niece."

Yan Qingqing nodded. The family was originally bare. Except for the more than 200 coins left from the last sale of medicinal materials, there was nothing of value.

The only thing I'm worried about are the children. After all, the oldest is only 14 years old.

But she also thought that since this was in the village, it wouldn't be a big problem if she asked Aunt Wang next door to take care of her later.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingqing said: "Hui Niang, hurry up and pack up. Let's go to the city now. If we are late, we won't be able to catch the oxcart."

It takes two hours to travel from Canghe Village to the city. Yan Qingqing really didn't want to walk anymore, her legs were too useless.

Yuan Huiniang nodded, quickly packed up and walked to the head of Canghe Village.
