return to the garden

Zhang Xiaolin came out to eat with some restraint, and saw his brother smiling and watching him take his seat.

Zhang Xiaolin: Suddenly I don't dare to sit down...

An Sheng finished his meal, Zhang Xiaoli ignored the dishes on the table and dragged Zhang Xiaolin away.

"Brother..." Zhang Xiaolin behaved like a quail.

"I also know that you are called brother. You are the youngest in our family. I still call you brother Liao to wait for you for dinner. It's cold and you don't come out until the food is cold. Next time, you should starve yourself so that you can remember." Zhang Xiaoli pointed at Zhang Xiaolin forehead, poke poke.

"Oh, don't I have to clean up that pen, ink, paper and inkstone, or can I leave that mess for Brother Liao to clean up slowly?" Zhang Xiaolin also had a good reason.

"I don't know yet. It took you more than two quarters of an hour to pack such a small amount of things. You came only when you and I, brother Liao, were full." Zhang Xiaoli rolled his eyes.

"Okay, okay, brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't do it again next time, I promise, promise, okay?" Zhang Xiaolin was thinking in his heart that he wanted to practice calligraphy, and he didn't want to listen to Zhang Xiaoli's long speech.

It's a pity that he doesn't know that sometimes, even if he admits a mistake, Zhang Xiaoli can still say a lot of words to educate him.

"Brother Liao teaches you knowledge, so he is your teacher, he is half an elder, you have to be correct to him from now on, like a disciple, otherwise there is no way to talk about politeness." Zhang Xiaoli made it clear.

In fact, this is indeed the case. For ordinary people, it is equivalent to respecting the elders to the husband. Not to mention serving the husband for a meal, but if the elders are waiting for a meal, it is disrespectful to the teacher. Can't say anything nice.

Although Liao Qing and Zhang Xiaoli already had a marriage contract, they couldn't forget that Liao Qing was teaching him.

Zhang Xiaolin can almost be regarded as Zhang Xiaoli's primary education, and he talks about these things from time to time, for fear that Zhang Xiaolin will not understand in the future, and someone will poke his spine.

Zhang Xiaolin nodded and agreed.

Zhang Xiaoli didn't say much anymore, as long as he had something in mind, he couldn't make a long speech, because the people who talked about it were bored, so he let Zhang Xiaolin go back.

Zhang Xiaolin, of course he went back to practice calligraphy, and his progress is still very fast.

Zhang Xiaoli put Zhang Xiaolin back and went to see what Liao Qing was doing. Sure enough, Liao Qing was basking in the sun while carving a red jade hairpin.

Looking at it, Zhang Xiaoli felt that the jade was so beautiful, and the red was bright and festive, which made people laugh uncontrollably.

"Brother Liao." Zhang Xiaoli moved a bench and sat next to Liao Qing, watching Liao Qing carve with the jade, "What kind of jade is this? The red one is so beautiful."

"Red Jadeite, it's from outside. I look pretty and I'm going to use it as a dowry for you." Liao Qing stopped and smiled at Zhang Xiaoli jokingly.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaoli blushed.

Really, Big Brother Liao is too bad, he knew he was embarrassed, and said, really!Zhang Xiaoli bit her lip.

"Haha, Xiaoli is so cute. Next time, I will carve a hairpin for Xiaoli with a little rabbit lying on its stomach. It will complement each other." Liao Qing squeezed the child's face.

"Brother Liao—" Zhang Xiaoli dragged on, acting like a spoiled child, really feeling light-hearted.

"Okay, okay, don't talk, don't talk." Liao Qing waved his hand.

Zhang Xiaoli talked about other things.

"Brother Liao, how is Xiaolin doing?" Zhang Xiaoli still hoped that his younger brother could study well and do well, and that he would have a good future in the future.

"He, Xiaolin is quite obedient and smart. He understands a lot of things. Now that he has read three of the four books, he is worthy of education." Liao Qing told the truth.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaoli was overjoyed immediately, and his eyes showed some excitement.

Liao Qing laughed, put the material aside, and went to rub the child's hair.

"Xiaolin is very smart in the first place, so he can learn it well. Xiaoli is also very smart. If he can learn it, he must be better than Xiaolin." Liao Qing wanted the child to read more books, but it was useless , In the future, in free time, it is also possible to read picture books and novels to pass the time.

But Zhang Xiaoli didn't dare to learn more about that, in his heart learning knowledge is a relatively sacred thing, he is a big brother, he doesn't think he is worthy of it.

Moreover, many people say that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. Zhang Xiaoli listened to it too much, so he naturally put his knowledge too high, making himself untouchable.

"I... I'll let it go, I..." Zhang Xiaoli hesitated.

Liao Qing shook his head, picked up the child, and sat on his lap.

"Learning some words and reading books in your spare time will also make you feel good. There are some things, if you don't read, how will you know, and..." Liao Qing paused, "My brothers in the capital have all been studying since they were young. In the future, it will be better for my husband to raise his eyebrows..."

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaoli struggled for a while, and immediately decided to start studying.

"It doesn't matter how good you are at reading. If you know how to read and read some interesting books, I can teach you some arithmetic. In the future, I can manage the accounts for Brother Liao, okay?" Liao Qing lowered his head and kissed Zhang Xiaoli's earlobe. It made people's ears and neck red.

"Okay..." Zhang Xiaoli replied with a trembling voice, because she was bullied by Liao Qing.

"Okay, starting tomorrow, one hour in the evening every day, it takes about half a month to take you to read the characters, and it's almost enough to ask me again when you see rare characters." Liao Qing stopped teasing Zhang Xiaoli, and put the child away. down.

It's just that Zhang Xiaoli's legs were still a little weak, and leaning against Liao Qing with a flushed face, he clenched his fist and lightly beat Liao Qing.

"I'll make a sachet for Brother Liao in these two days. What color and spice do Brother Liao like?" Zhang Xiaoli gave Liao Qing a look, with deep affection in his eyes.

"It's blue, it's just right for the outer shirt Xiaoli made, and you don't need any spices, just stuff some cotton and put it on the front door. I'm a big man, and I make it smell good all day long. How uncomfortable." Liao Qing rubbed the child's head, and then Want to come forward and kiss.

Zhang Xiaoli's face was soft and a little hot, a kiss would be great, it would be better to lick it to taste, then bite it again to feel the texture...

Zhang Xiaoli didn't know the messy things Liao Qing was thinking about, but seeing Liao Qing kissing him, he quickly pushed Liao Qing, covered his face and ran away.

Only Liao Qing was left to bask in the sun in the courtyard, carving a dowry for his shy daughter-in-law, the more she thought about it, the more beautiful she felt...

At this time, I really responded to the phrase "really fragrant".

……

In the kitchen, Zhigui was still washing the dishes. They started to eat because Nanny Song insisted on finishing eating at the master's house, and they were cleaning up the dishes at this time.

Zhigui happened to see Zhang Xiaoli and Liao Qing hugging each other in the yard, and there was some contempt on his face.

"Mother..." Zhigui looked at her mother.

She watched it all, but it didn't make sense that her mother didn't.

"No matter what happens to the family, that's the master's business, and we have nothing to do with it." Nanny Song didn't bother to teach her daughter a lesson, her heart was higher than the sky, and no matter how many times she said it, it was useless.

"I didn't think about anything else!" Zhi Gui seemed to be stimulated by Nanny Song's gaze, "In the future, if the young husband grows up, it's fine for me to be a young one. It would be great to have another son next to me. "

"Shameless!" Nanny Song's complexion changed, "You'd better not give me any thoughts, otherwise, when your father comes back, I will tell your father to break your leg."

Zhigui shut her mouth indignantly, but felt uncomfortable in her heart. Obviously, if she went to the master's house, her life would be better, wouldn't she, and she could take care of her parents? I can't be a servant for a lifetime...

Besides... Mr. Liao is highly educated, good-looking, and is used to collecting money. If you follow him, don't you just want to eat hot food?

Nanny Song glared at Zhi Gui, who had fallen into fantasy, and felt uncomfortable for a while. She had suffered a loss once, why didn't she have a long memory!

……

After two days, the mountain was completely cleaned up. Liao Qing gave money and set a time to invite people to a big banquet with the chef in the big restaurant in the county town.

"It's just these two days. I'll let you know when the time comes. Don't forget to come, just remember to bring a table and chairs." Liao Qing handed over the money and announced the meal promised two days ago.

The helpers below were naturally overjoyed, but they were looking forward to a good meal.

Seeing that there was nothing to do the next day, and the weather officially entered spring, Liao Qing planned to take Zhang Xiaoli to the county town to have fun, and talk about the restaurant chef by the way.

Coincidentally, Uncle Zhang also went together, so Liao Qing simply asked Uncle Zhang to help catch the bus, and Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Xiaoli went to the small county together.

There is no market on this day, and there are some fixed shops. When there is no big market, the roadside is crowded with small stalls. The crowds are crowded, which is also very good.

After entering the city, Uncle Zhang separated from them, saying that he was going to the blacksmith's shop to order a plow for plowing the field.

Liao Qing started by strolling around the restaurant first, and was ready to settle this first before talking about anything else.

It's a pity that when I went to the first one, I was rejected.

The reason is that the business of the restaurant is not bad, how can the chef be outsourced, the restaurant still needs to open a shop to do business.

Liao Qing had no choice but to go to the next restaurant to try his luck.

However, Liao Qing is still used to it after all, so he was too lazy to run away at all, thinking that if the next one does not outsource, he will spend money on outsourcing. Liao Qing felt that no restaurant owner would be willing to do such a desirable business.

Fortunately, the next one - Xiaofenglou, business is not very good. If it is outsourced, the boss is quite polite and found a table to talk with Liao Qing in detail.

Liao Qing was not in a hurry, he happened to be hungry in the middle of the morning, so he asked the shopkeeper to serve the food first and see how it goes.
