Farmhouse is so old

Before dawn, Zhang Lan got up. Seeing that Liu Tiantian was still sleeping, she helped her cover the quilt and went to the kitchen secretly, boiled water, and started cooking.The uncle in the kitchen introduced it to her yesterday, so she naturally knows which things can be moved and which ones can't.But she searched all over the kitchen and couldn't find the coarse grains, so she had to cook porridge with polished rice, and chopped some sweet potato vines to feed the chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard.

During this period of time, Zhou Qing was kept by Tang Qingyang and slept until dawn. When he got up and saw that Zhang Lan had packed everything, he couldn't express how moved he was, how could he be so capable.

"Uncle." Zhang Lan called out when she saw Zhou Qing coming.

"Why don't you get more sleep." Zhou Qing yawned and said.Seeing that Zhang Lan didn't speak, Zhou Qing didn't ask any more questions.Walking to the stove, she saw that she had only cooked porridge.

He took out a few more eggs, beat them well, put in some seasonings, took a steaming board and steamed them on the porridge, and explained to Zhang Lan: "Your uncle told you that you can't just drink porridge in the morning, you have to add some side dishes The field is still young, so it’s not good to just drink porridge.”

Zhang Lan nodded, indicating that she understood.

In the end, Tang Qing was the last to get up, even the youngest Tian Tian got up.Tang Qing was a little embarrassed. There was no way he would be lazy when winter came. Don't think about it, it's an old problem.He had no choice but to cheekily laugh dryly in front of a few juniors.Even though they are not much older than them.

Just after eating, Wang Xier brought Zhou Shan, Zhou He and Zhou Su and Zhou Chuan over: "Are you all here?"

"Grandma." Several children greeted Wang Xi'er.

"Good boy, you must not make trouble with your uncle." Wang Xi'er nodded and instructed again.

The children nodded obediently, and Zhou Chuan and Zhou Su also called out to Tang Qing: "Uncle."

Tang Qing nodded and asked them both: "It's good if you come, have you eaten yet?" Seeing that the two replied that they had eaten, Tang Qing stopped talking.

But Liu Tiantian liked Wang Xier's tightness, so he pulled Wang Xier's trousers to prevent her from leaving.Wang Xi'er had no choice but to pick her up and said to Tang Qing and Zhou Qing: "Tiantian, let me lead the meeting first, you are busy, if you have something to do, go to the village to talk."

Tang Qing had no choice but to ask Wang Xier to take Liu Tiantian away.

"Okay, now I'll teach you how to classify the medicinal materials." After Wang Xier left, Tang Qing took a group of children to sort the medicinal materials in the room, and marked the piles. drying.

Seeing that they were doing well and not being lazy, Tang Qing nodded secretly to express his satisfaction.Obedient and sensible children are always likable. Girls do their work very seriously. Although boys are a little absent-minded, they are still doing it patiently. Tang Qing checks behind them to see if there are any mistakes in the classification.

These medicinal materials also conflict with each other and cannot be mixed together.I don't know why the collector of medicinal materials is so careless, and he doesn't know how to sort them when collecting them.If this goes wrong, it will be a matter of life and death in Dali.I also don't know what the medicinal materials merchants in Huichuntang are thinking.

Zhang Lan got up and moved her legs and feet. The stool was a bit high and it was inconvenient to work, so she squatted. After squatting for a long time, her legs felt a little numb. "Uncle, we are done here."

Tang Qing went over to check, "That's right, you've done a good job, there's nothing wrong with it." Then he took out two pennies from his pocket and said

"This is a reward for the fastest and best group. Whoever finishes first without making mistakes will get two pennies."

Zhang Lan was a little excited to get the copper coin. For the first time, she could make money by herself, and gave it to Zhou Suyiwen. After all, they were in a team.The five boys felt a little disappointed when they saw their older sisters got money.They all secretly hated themselves for not being faster just now.

Seeing that they still had a lot left, Zhang Lan and Zhou Su wanted to go to help, but Tang Qing stopped him: "You can do your own work, you two can't help." acted.

"Go to Westinghouse to make clothes for your uncle."

Seeing that they had nothing to do, Tang Qing sent them to make clothes.Thinking of Zhou Qing's craftsmanship again, I have a headache, and I don't know if the two little girls can do it, it's just a waste of some fabric.

After hearing Tang Qing's words, the two went to the west room with bright eyes. The kang was already burning in the west room, and the room was very hot. Zhou Qing looked at the medicinal materials and took the cloth to sew. Unfortunately, the stitches were crooked. .

"Uncle, give it to me." Zhang Lan looked at it for a while, and really couldn't bear Zhou Qing to waste the fabric any more, so she took the fabric from Zhou Qing's hand and began to thread it with a flying needle, while Zhou Su helped cut it.Zhou Qing looked at it for a while and then took the initiative to delegate power. Compared with his two skills, his skills are not at the same level.

"Third uncle, look at this." Zhou Su cut out one piece and showed it to Zhou Qing.Zhou Qing picked it up and gestured up and down, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, there are some fabrics here later, and they are all for you. You can watch and do it, and help those boys make a few by the way."

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he dragged out a basket of cotton cloth from the corner, and took out two sacks of cotton, and said, "When it's cold, put some cotton inside, so that you can dress warmly."

"No, no, third uncle, how can we accept your things before we start working?" Zhou Su refused repeatedly after hearing this, and then came to help with work the day before, and she couldn't accept it just to make clothes for them. If grandpa finds out about it when I go home, I can't say anything about it.

"Third Uncle gave it to you, so you just keep it. Why be polite to Third Uncle." Zhou Qing has also learned to be tough now.

"Look at Zhang Lan, be more obedient."

Zhang Lan who was on the side thought, why are you pulling me? If I don’t speak, someone will say it, but Zhang Lan must not say this to offend her uncle’s face: "Sister Su’er, just keep it, this clothes Do it sooner or later, what's the difference?"

Seeing what Zhang Lan said, Zhou Su had no choice but to agree. At worst, when Grandpa asked, he said that everyone had done it.After Zhou Su found an excuse, he was no longer entangled. Seeing that the boys had finished their work, she took the clothes ruler to help them measure the size, and went to discuss the style of the clothes with Zhang Lan.

"Zhou Shan and Zhou He, you two are elders. You have to set an example for your nephews and nieces. Although you are about the same age, if people call you uncle, you have to be like an uncle." Zhou Qing came over and saw that his younger brother was not as fast as the nephews next to him, so he couldn't help but lecture.

His two younger brothers are good in everything, but they are too out of touch.If you are not calm enough, you have to discipline yourself well.

"Brother, I'm not lazy." Zhou Shan said unconvinced, he first helped a few nephews to do a lot, and then pulled his own work, why his elder brother always refused to listen to his explanation.

"You still dare to talk back."

Zhou Qing was a little annoyed when he saw that Zhou Shan was dead.Thinking that the two nieces finished their work early, I couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

"Brother, stop arguing with elder brother." Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou He quickly pulled Zhou Shan back.

"You are an impatient person. Why are you in a hurry? All the work I ordered is for today. As long as they can finish it before dark today, it will be considered a success."

Tang Qing saw that they came out to talk like this, it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong.You can't blame the two nieces for being too capable.

"Girls are naturally dexterous, even if I were to classify them, I'm probably not as fast as the two of them." Tang Qing coaxed again, and Zhou Qing's face looked better.

Zhou Qing has always placed high hopes on his two younger brothers. Who doesn't want his younger brothers to be capable? He always thought that the two younger brothers were very good. When he arrived at Zhang Lan, he knew what it means that there is no harm without comparison.

Zhang Lan is about the same age as his two younger brothers. He knows that he gets up early to help with work, and completes the tasks ordered early. He is still helping to make clothes for everyone.Then look at my younger brother, poking the honeycomb, making the mother angry, etc., working so slowly, I suddenly became angry.

Tang Qing especially understands Zhou Qing's current feelings. For example, he has a son who usually goes to school and thinks his grades are not bad. Suddenly one day a parent meeting is held, and everyone else gets [-] points in the test, but his son gets [-] points in the test.Immediately, I felt that I had been kept in the dark all the time, and those good things in the past were also regarded as shortcomings and magnified infinitely.

Zhou Qing thinks that the eldest sister can teach others, and see how obedient and sensible Lan Er is.Whenever I have time, I have to learn more from my eldest sister, but I can't teach my future children to be useless.

"Brother, what were you arguing outside just now?" Westinghouse naturally heard the commotion just now.

"It's okay, the uncle is reprimanding the two younger uncles, but it's no big deal if I have my uncle persuading me." Zhang Dong is small and doesn't understand those reasons.

Zhang Lan didn't think much about it either, she was just a 13-year-old girl, and she didn't expect that the quarrel today was because of her, she just thought that the two little uncles might have done something wrong and annoyed the uncle.The eldest uncle usually loves the two younger uncles very much, so he won't be really angry.

"Okay, we're all one family, why are you angry with yourself?" Tang Qing coaxed Zhou Qing, who was still sulking in the bedroom, hugging him.

"I'm not angry." Zhou Qing was a little stubborn, refusing to admit his mistake, turned around and turned his back to Tang Qing.

Tang Qing pulled him over with one hand: "It's so reasonable to teach my brother a lesson today, why is it so unreasonable when it comes to you?"

"I'm glad that my two younger brothers are half as sensible as Lan Er." Zhou Qing said angrily.

Tang Qing ticked his nose with his little finger, and said with a smile: "You, are you jealous that Lan'er is too capable, and you compare your younger brothers? This person has his own destiny, take a look Don’t I also like to be lazy, but I’m not as good as Lan’er, no, right.”

Zhou Qing was about to refute after hearing the first half of Tang Qing's sentence, and then heard Tang Qing's subsequent words, thinking about it was right.

"Lan'er is a girl. All the work she does today is the light work at home. If she is asked to work in the field, he really can't compare with his two younger brothers. Boys are rough-hearted, and these fine jobs are not good at all." Well, it’s understandable to be slower, but let them do some rough work, and girls can’t compare to it.” Tang Qing knew that Zhou Qing had always been doing rough work at home, and he didn’t observe some details very carefully. , In addition, I have low self-esteem, and always treat myself as a little transparent at home, so I don't understand these principles.

But it doesn't matter that a lifetime is still long, he can teach him slowly.
