Lin Guihua saw that Ning Lang kept looking at her stomach, and said with a smile: "Nowadays, you are a scholar, and you young couple should have a child."

"Hmm..." Xie Ning rubbed his hands together.

"You, don't be embarrassed, Ji Nian is a scholar, you should take the initiative, it's better to have a child."

Xie Ning was even more embarrassed to answer the question.Where does Ji Nian need him to take the initiative?He has had enough.

Seeing that people's faces were about to burn, Lin Guihua didn't continue the topic, and changed the topic: "Is the stall business okay?"

"Very good." Xie Ning nodded and replied.

Lin Guihua then asked: "Are you busy?"

"I set up a shop and hired two waiters and a dish washer, and I should be able to come over quickly." Seeing that Lin Guihua had something to say, Xie Ning asked strangely, "What's wrong with Fourth Aunt?"

"Oh, I'm just pregnant and I'm thirty. My mother is worried and wants to come and take care of me."

This is a good thing, Xie Ning was puzzled.

"But the whole family is so big, and Brother Rong is thirteen. My aunt wants to ask you something. Let Brother Rong go to the town to see and see, do chores and wash dishes for your shop, and Auntie's grain... ..."

This matter is not difficult to deal with, the two families have always been harmonious, and Daddy loves Brother Rong very much, Xie Ning hurriedly interrupted Lin Guihua and said, "How much can Brother Rong eat? The whole family doesn't talk about it. After a while, Ji Nian and I Say it."

Xie Ning went to see Brother Rong again, and asked, "Brother Rong, would you like to go to town with brother?"

Brother Rong nodded slightly, smiling shyly.

"That's fine. If you're not used to living in the town and you want to come back and tell your brother, brother will take you back." Xie Ning said softly. Seeing Brother Rong reminded him of his half-sister, Xie Xiaoyu. sister's.

"Thank you Ning Ge." Lin Guihua taught his son.

Brother Rong said softly, "Thank you Brother Ning."

Zhou Jinnian finished discussing with Zhou Feng in the house about the title of the land, and Zhou Feng also mentioned the same thing, Zhou Jinian naturally agreed, Rong Geer is also his cousin after all.

Ji Nian opened the door and saw Zhou Wenshu in the distance, hiding behind a round wooden pillar. Following his gaze, he saw the little husband who was peeling kidney beans. Zhou Jinnian narrowed his eyes slightly, like a feline Also put up a defensive stance.

Xie Ning was peeling, the sunlight in front of him was blocked, he raised his head, Zhou Jinnian was standing in front of him against the light, Xie Ning half opened one eye, and smiled silly at her husband.

"Go home." Zhou Jinnian stretched out his hand to invite him to stand up.

Xie Ning stood up and handed the peeled kidney beans to Zhou Jinnian.

Zhou Jinnian deliberately refused to answer and turned away.

Xie Ning pouted and stood on tiptoe, squeezed a kidney bean and stuffed it into his mouth, and shouted: "It's delicious, sweet and tender."

This scene was deliberately shown to interested people, Zhou Wenshu turned around and went back to the house, Zhou Jinnian bit the tender kidney beans and looked at Zhou Wenshu's back.

"If there is tofu, the fried beans will be delicious." Seeing that the husband did not respond, Xie Ning turned his head suspiciously following Zhou Jinnian's gaze. There was only a rough log under the eaves behind him, but nothing.

"Look at what?"

Zhou Jinnian turned his head and went to hold the little husband's hand, "It's nothing, let's go."

"Well."

……

Xie Ning's steps became lighter as he got closer to the Xie's courtyard. After he could see the courtyard, he simply trotted and shouted in a crunchy voice, "Father! I'm back!"

"Second brother!" Xie Xiaoyu rushed over and opened the courtyard door, and the two siblings walked inside, asking questions and answering each other.

Zhou Ji Nian was left behind to lock the courtyard door behind him. He also ranked second among the grandchildren of the Zhou family. He and Ning Lang were a natural match.

"Brother Ning is back?" Xie Dashu heard his second son call the door at first, thinking it was an auditory hallucination, but now he heard the voice getting closer, and rushed out to greet him, seeing his son-in-law following behind, he became more enthusiastic.

"They're all back?" Xie Dashu went to call Xie Sun again, "Hurry up and boil a pot of hot water so that the children can have tea."

"Hey, let's go now." This person is not in front of him every day, and Xie Sun's life is safe, and it is indeed not easy to see him once. Besides, he is the husband of the case, and she responds to the sound and diligently boils water.

"Second Brother, come here..." Xie Xiaoyu stood at the door and called Brother.

Xie Ning couldn't sit still, nor was he thirsty, so he got up and followed. It turned out that Xie Xiaoyu asked him to pick elm coins.

Xie's family is considered wealthy in the village, so they planted an elm tree in the backyard. Because the seeds of the elm tree look like strings of copper coins, it is called elm money, which is a homonym for "surplus money". a mouthwash.

The elms and willows were hanging down, clusters of tender green elms on each branch, Xie Ning rolled up his sleeves and padded his feet to pick them up, while Xie Xiaoyu picked them up with a dustpan.

Eldest brother Xie Yao is busy studying and studying, second brother Xie Ning is not at home, brother Xie Xuan follows mother every day, eats chubby, and calls daddy every time he moves, Xie Xiaoyu is so greedy for money.

Xie Dashu invited Zhou Jinian to take a seat in the main room. Zhou Jinian turned his head and could see the figure of a thin husband picking elm money on his feet in the yard, so he was unwilling to change seats.

Xie Yao followed his line of sight, his younger brother and younger sister looked like greedy cats in the yard, it was only when Zhou Jinian fell in love with his younger brother that he found it pleasing to the eye.

"Forget about it, let's go and help my brother pick elm money."

In the middle of his arms, Zhou Jinnian didn't feel any embarrassment at all, got up and followed to the yard.

Xie Dashu walked to the door with his hands behind his back and looked at the children, "Hehe..." he laughed, satisfied with Zhou Jinian's everything.

Zhou Jinnian worked hard to help the little husband pick a dustpan full of elm money, Xie Ning led Xie Xiaoyu to the kitchen, the two mixed a bowl of sugar and ate it directly.

In the evening, in addition to roast chicken with mushrooms, stewed bacon with small potatoes, and fried vegetables, there are also yuqian mixed with sugar and yuqian rice.Yuqian is a good thing. It can eliminate dampness and heat, help digestion, and unblock the stomach.

Stayed at Xie's house for one night, and was invited by the village chief to have lunch the next day. People in the court said that "people don't fight with officials", and those who can talk to officials are scholars, let alone Zhou Jinian. First, it is almost only beneficial to have a set-up.

During the meal, Zhou Jinnian resolutely refused to sit at the head of the table, and his attitude was very humble like that of a scholar.The village chief's family saw it, and Zhou Laoliu was really incomparable with his case chief.

Look at the demeanor of the head of the desk, and then look at Zhou Laoliu's posture of being a chicken dog and ascending to heaven, alas.

The two went back to town and became three.It was the first time for Brother Rong to go to town, and he looked around curiously along the way, and was led to the wonton stand by his two brothers.

Lin Jin was really happy to see Brother Rong, and ordered Rong Brother a bowl full of fish and meat wontons, and sat aside to ask him about family matters.

Xie Ning sat on the bench, listening to the gossip at the next table.

"Have you heard? Miss Yuhe from Xianglou is missing!"

"Yo? I didn't hear that, did she run away with someone?"

"Didn't you hear about the big trouble? The young master of the Zhu family ran to Xianglou and smashed it, saying that he had an appointment with Miss Yuhe, and he couldn't wait for anyone to come, scolding Xiangniang for not paying attention to him!"

"What then?"

"Xiangniang complained that she was wronged, so she asked her thugs to confront her. The thugs said that she had indeed sent Miss Yuhe up the mountain. Today I delivered food to the villa, and saw with my own eyes a dozen officers and soldiers enter the mountain to look for someone."

"Yo, the mountain is huge, so it's hard to find."

"If you want me to tell you, I must have run away with someone. How could the girl's family stay in the mountains overnight?"

"Isn't it..."

"..." Xie Ning was so engrossed in listening that his body almost turned out of the stool.

Zhou Jinnian naturally heard it too, but he didn't care too much. Seeing that the little husband was about to fall, he reached out to support him, "I'm going home, how about you?"

"Then I'll go back too." Xie Ning simply didn't listen, "Brother Rong, can you still eat? My brother will take you home to rest for a while, and make something delicious tonight."

"Enough, I can't eat anymore, Brother Ning." Brother Rong finished the soup.

Brother Rong arrived in a new environment, he put down his bag and was embarrassed to rest, so he hurried out to help Xie Ning cook the stove.

Xie Ning is boiling water, planning to pickle dried plums and make pickled pork with plums at night.No wonder he is more mellow, he is greedy every day, he studies delicious food at home, and Zhou Ji Nian indulges him, knowing that he wants to open a restaurant, these are all his preparatory work.

Xie Ning took the dried plums and put them in the wooden basin, "Why doesn't Brother Rong take a rest? Don't be restrained, go to sleep."

"I'm not sleepy, I want to be with Brother Ning." Brother Rong leaned forward, "What is Brother Ning going to do? I'll help you."

"Make preserved vegetables and braised meat, then help me scoop hot water into this basin."

Brother Rong went to get a ladle to scoop water in the water tank. Preserved vegetables and meat are usually eaten during the Chinese New Year. He swallowed so greedily.

Xie Ning cleaned the pork belly without cutting it, put the whole piece into the pot, added water, put in onion ginger, cinnamon, star anise, a small spoonful of white wine, and simmered.

During the fire, I also took two sweet potatoes and a handful of peanuts, and threw them into the stove to bake.

After two quarters of an hour, pick up the pork belly and sprinkle the sauce while it is still hot.Xie Ning picked up roasted sweet potatoes and peanuts, and the two brothers sat on the bench in front of the stove and ate sweet potatoes.

Roasted sweet potatoes are glutinous and sweet, and roasted peanuts are scalding, so he peeled the peanuts and put them in a bowl for Brother Rong to serve to Ji Nian in the study.

Xie Ning turned on the fire again and poured oil, and fried the still steaming pork belly in the pan. Turning to low heat, the fat and fat of the fried pork belly overflowed, and then he scooped up the meat and let it cool down.

When Brother Rong comes back to the kitchen, let him wash the soaked dried vegetables.Xie Ning put the washed dried plums into the pot, cooked the vegetables with the seasoned gravy, poured some sugar, and let them simmer for a quarter of an hour.

The last step is to put the sliced ​​meat on the bottom of the bowl, covered with boiled dried plum vegetables, steam for two quarters of an hour, take out the bowl and turn it upside down, and it’s ready to eat.

Taking advantage of the time of steaming the meat, Xie Ning fried two more vegetables. With Brother Rong helping him to light the fire, he was much more relaxed, but he loved wandering around the stove since he was a child, so he didn't feel tired at all.

……

On the second day after returning from the village, Zhou Jinian went to the shop to pick up poems.Considering that most of the people in the town are illiterate, I wrote more poems from the enlightenment period.

"Be sensitive and eager to learn, don't be ashamed to ask", "Learning without thinking will lead to death, thinking without learning will lead to peril" and other poems from Confucius.

After the ink dries, two days later, the plaque of Zhou's Wonton is hung up, officially opening for business!

Zhou Jinnian taught Xie Ning how to read the writing on the wall. Xie Ning was in the store confidently. When he saw a child coming to the store, and the child was dressed as a little book boy, he would go and show off to the child, "Do you know what is written on the wall?" What words are written?"

If the child shakes his head with a ignorant expression, he will explain proudly: "What is written here is 'Work hard to know all the characters in the world, and aspire to read all the books in the world'. If you read more books, you can get a job test."

"Also, it says 'Aspirations should reflect true character, study must be hard work', fame is not so easy to test, so study must be able to bear hardships, you know?"

The child was still ignorant, but the adult was so excited that he thanked him again and again, "Thank you, little man, my son, thank you brother."

After showing off, Xie Ning was embarrassed again, he hooked his fingers and pursed his lips, smiling shyly.

Every day, he would go to the shop to read the poems written by his husband on the wall. After repeating them several times, the whole family, including the waiters, could read and write.

The people of Qingshui Town said that you can learn great truths from going to the case wonton, which is impossible for you to learn in the literati circle on East Street.

Someone asked, "Desktop Wonton? Why haven't I heard of such a shop?"

"Hey, where are Zhou's wontons? We ordinary people are illiterate and don't know! But if you ask about the wontons at the top of the table? In the North Street market, the walls of the shops are full of words."

This business is booming and earning a lot of money, but Zhou, the third and the old couple are more and more leisurely. They just adjust the stuffing every day, and when someone comes to order wontons, please help the cook to pack a bag of wontons quickly, put them in the pot and cook them. serve.

As soon as she was free, Lin Jin couldn't help staring at Erfulang's stomach.

The five of them were having dinner in the house that day, and Lin Jin said casually: "Seeing that the family is getting better and better, there is nothing missing at home, except for a little baby..."

Xie Ning bit his chopsticks and looked at his father innocently.

Zhou Ji Nian took a piece of bacon to the young husband, but said nothing else: "Tomorrow I will plant seeds in the field, and I will go back to the village. Will Ning Lang follow me?"

"Okay!" Xie Ning stuffed the bacon into his mouth and chewed it in big mouthfuls. The salty, fragrant and firm bacon made him forget what his father said just now.

"Okay, pay attention, don't go down to the ground, you hurt your hand carefully, and you can't hold the pen anymore." After Lin Jin explained, he said to his son-in-law: "Ji Nian listens to you, if he forgets in a hurry, tell me he."

What he said was the truth, sometimes as a father, what he said was not as effective as Ning Lang's eyes.

Lin Jin got used to it, and gave birth to a son who was strictly controlled by her husband. Her husband frowned, and his son's hair became soft.

Xie Ning nodded with a 'hmm', eating and drinking well.

Zhou Jinnian smiled inwardly, the results of his raising small fish are quite gratifying, the little husband is well-behaved and has no worries.

The author has something to say: Double watch every other day, writing ancient prose is more or less cool on the head.
