Farmer one or two things

Dinner was ready soon, with a table full of dishes, Song Tiancai was about to swallow without eating.The road was full of dust and dust, but it had been several days since I had a good meal.Now that his family is by his side and the food is in front of him, Song Tiancai feels that he should not be too happy.

Song Xiaobao hasn't seen his father for so many days, and he hasn't had enough time with his father.He didn't sit next to his grandma anymore, he had to squeeze between Song Tiancai and Zhao Yanxiu.Before Song Tiancai went to Quanzhou, he made two children's chairs for Song Xiaobao. He sat in them without being supported by others, and could sit very stably by himself.

The spicy crayfish is spicy and fresh, and Song Tiancai is so addicted to eating it.Song Xiaobao watched beside him so anxiously that he wanted to eat, the boss opened his small mouth, and made a sound of "ah" and "ah" to remind himself that it was time for his father to feed him.With a bad intention, Song Tiancai dipped some soup from the spicy crayfish plate with his chopsticks and gave it to Song Xiaobao to lick. It was so spicy that Song Xiaobao choked on his saliva immediately, and Song Tiancai was so scared that he brought the Liangbai Kai next to him to feed Song Xiaobao.

He thought that Song Xiaobao should be angry with Song Tiancai, but he didn't expect him to beg Song Tiancai for spicy sauce.Just now Chen Guizhi's knife eye flew over, if he dared to tease Song Xiaobao to choke Song Xiaobao again, Song Tiancai guaranteed that his wife would come and twist his ears right away.In front of Chen Guizhi, Song Tiancai had never won against Song Xiaobao for favor.

Zhao Yanxiu watched his elder brother coaxing Song Xiaobao clumsily, and hurriedly helped out, peeled a crayfish, rinsed it in cold white water, and fed it to Song Xiaobao's mouth.Song Xiaobao swallowed it in one gulp, his small mouth was bulging, and his small eyes almost narrowed.

After eating, he immediately abandoned his father and went to Zhao Yanxiu's side.Blinking his small eyes, he looked at Zhao Yanxiu, and then at the plate of crayfish. The words "Hurry up and put the crayfish in my mouth" were almost written on his small face.It made Zhao Yanxiu feel unreasonable even if he wanted to pretend to be stupid.

Chen Guizhi said with a smile: "Yanxiu, Xiaobao also eats a little spicy food with us at home. You cook two shrimps for him to eat, otherwise, he will look at you so eagerly for this stewed rice, and you will feel uneasy born."

Zhao Yanxiu heard from Chen Guizhi that it would be okay for Song Xiaobao to eat more, so he felt relieved, peeled two for him, passed the water to remove the spiciness, picked another piece of eel, passed it through the water and slowly fed it to Song Xiaobao.In the end, they mixed rice with chicken soup and ate half a bowl for him, and then Song Xiaobao was carried down by Chen Guizhi to play.

At this table, except for Chen Guizhi who didn't pour the wine, everyone else poured the wine.It was Song Tiancai who brought back the best pear flower white from Quanzhou. It is soft in the mouth, sweet in the aftertaste, and not overpowering.The wine was delicious, but the price was too expensive, Song Tiancai only brought two small jars to honor Song Dashan.

Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman have been helping the Song family a lot these days, and they are almost always busy at the tea stand.As soon as Song Tiancai came back, Chen Guizhi took the time to praise Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman.Song Tiancai was naturally grateful for treating his family well, and toasted Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman with a glass of wine.

For a meal, the host and guest enjoy themselves.However, none of them were drunk, so Zhao Yanxiu and Song Tiancai went outside to take a shower.The water was warm, but Song Tiancai remembered the soup bath in Quanzhou.The Song family's house is spacious, and in winter, I take a bath in my room, and bring a charcoal basin in, so it's not too cold.But in summer, there was no special place to wash. Chen Guizhi used a big wooden basin to wash in his room, while the man from the Song family could only take a shower with a wooden bucket and a washbasin.

The Song family loves cleanliness and takes a shower diligently. Song Tiancai came up with the idea of ​​building a bathroom in his own home. There are two vacant rooms in the West Wing of the Song family.One of them is separated by bricks to make two bathrooms for men and women, so that it will be much more convenient to take a bath in the future.Thinking about it this way, Song Tiancai murmured with Zhao Yanxiu, and Zhao Yanxiu also thought it was good, and the two planned to wait two days to get it done.

After Song Tiancai finished taking a shower, Song Xiaobao was having fun playing in the big tub.Floating in the bathtub with the wooden boat bought by Song Tiancai, laughing loudly, splashing water everywhere, Chen Guizhi wanted to hug him up, but Song Xiaobao was not happy, and was about to cry with his flat mouth.

Song Dashan came over with a basin of hot water, filled it into the tub, and said, "It's hot today, and Xiaobao likes to play, so let him soak for a while. Otherwise, he'll cry and make noise after a while, and he won't be able to sleep well at night." Sleep."

Chen Guizhi thought about it too, so he had to let Song Xiaobao play for a while.She let Song Dashan watch, went in and smoked wormwood to drive away the mosquitoes in the mosquito net, and then carried Song Xiaobao to the bed.There were a lot of mosquitoes in summer, and Song Xiaobao was a mosquito attractor. Chen Guizhi didn't cover the mosquito net once, and Song Xiaobao was bitten with several big bumps the next day.The red bag was particularly conspicuous on Song Xiaobao's white and tender body. Chen Guizhi and Song Dashan felt distressed for a long time, and went to Chenjia Village to ask Dr. Chen for some ointment to relieve itching and mosquitoes.Afterwards, the Song family smoked wormwood several times a day to repel mosquitoes.As soon as it gets dark, Song Xiaobao will be rubbed with mosquito repellent ointment.

Song Tiancai is a rough man, and mosquitoes don't like to suck his blood, but Zhao Yanxiu, like Song Xiaobao, has been bitten several times on his exposed wrists along the way.Song Tiancai dressed in short clothes at home, but Zhao Yanxiu always covered himself with a long-sleeved gown to prevent mosquitoes.

For this reason, Song Tiancai also bought mosquito repellent at the pharmacy, so it was not easy for the Song family elders to drive mosquitoes into Zhao Yanxiu's mosquito net.Song Tiancai went to the battle himself, and after making sure that there were no mosquitoes that slipped through the net, he covered up the tent, put two buckets of well water in the house, and then went back to sleep.

Zhao Yanxiu felt very warm in his heart when he saw Song Tiancai, the eldest brother, busying himself with him. His elder brother always treated him so well.Sometimes, Zhao Yanxiu felt that there was too little he could do for his elder brother. Every time, his elder brother took care of him, and he wanted to take care of his elder brother very much.

Therefore, Zhao Yanxiu also went to Song Tiancai's house to chase away the mosquitoes. Song Tiancai looked at Zhao Yanxiu who was chasing the mosquitoes all over the ground, holding his belly and laughing without losing face.Zhao Yanxiu laughed out of embarrassment, and gave Song Tiancai a hard look.Under the light, Zhao Yan's shaved face was like a spring flower, and his eyes were bright. Song Tiancai's heart skipped a beat for some reason.

Song Tiancai shook his head, what happened to him.Coaxing Zhao Yanxiu back to the room, Song Tiancai slept in his own room, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.He kept thinking about Zhao Yanxiu's smile just now, and listening to the sound of cicadas outside the window, Song Tiancai felt that the cicadas must be too noisy, which made his heart flustered.

Early the next morning, while Song Tiancai was still dreaming, he heard someone knocking on the door.Song Dashan got up and opened the door. It turned out that Liu Kunwu had brought over half a carload of ice cubes.The weather is hot this summer, and the business of the ice cellar is very good, especially in June, as much ice can be sold in the town.

Song Tiancai has a share in this ice cellar, Liu Kunwu himself was not willing to use ice, but as soon as Song Tiancai came back, he brought a truck full of ice.He sent half a car to his father-in-law's house, and brought the rest to Song's house.The ice cubes were all placed in large wooden boxes, covered with cotton wool, and shipped out before the sun rose.When they arrived at Song's house, the ice hadn't melted at all. Song Dashan knew that it was Liu Kunwu who delivered the ice to their house, so he hurried to call Song Tiancai.

Song Tiancai got up and greeted Liu Kunwu. The ice was a good thing, but the Song family couldn't keep it.Even if it is covered with wooden barrels and quilts, it can only be placed for two or three days.Fortunately, Liu Kunwu also expected it, and sent three large ice cubes, which can be used up in a few days.

Song Tiancai and Liu Kunwu exchanged a few words, Liu Kunwu said with a smile: "Brother Tiancai, we have been busy with the ice cellar, we can't use it for others, we are useless at all. I wanted to send some here earlier, but Brother Tiancai Not here, uncle and aunt probably don’t know how to store ice and use it. I’ll just wait for you to come back and get some for you to use. If you use it well, you can go to the ice cellar to get some to use in the future.”

Song Tiancai quickly thanked him, and asked Liu Kunwu to take back what he had brought to Liu Kunwu from Quanzhou.Delivered goods to Liu Kunwu yesterday, but Song Tiancai did not give the goods to Liu Kunwu.The first is that Liu Kunwu still has an elder brother there, and Song Tiancai only brought some small gifts for his elder brother, which means nothing.Second, he is Song Taozi's cousin, so it's only natural that he should send things to Song Taozi.As for lunch, Wan Shi invited Song Dashan's family to dinner, so naturally he would not keep Liu Kunwu for dinner.

The ice was removed and placed next to the well in the yard.Song Tiancai gestured, cut some off with a knife and put them in a basin, and hung the whole piece of ice into the well water with a wooden bucket.For the remaining two yuan, Song Tiancai is going to go to the tea stand to get some iced drinks today, so as to satisfy his appetite.

The breakfast was mung bean porridge with a leek box. Song Tiancai put two pieces of ice in the main hall, and the temperature immediately dropped a lot.Chen Guizhi said: "It's the first time I've seen ice in summer. It's comfortable to have this ice, and the house is much cooler, and people in the city will enjoy it."

Song Tiancai said: "Mother, Liu Kunwu said that the ice I dropped in the well can be eaten directly. I just scratched down a lot. You cook some mung bean soup and sour plum soup and put some ice in it. At the tea stand It’s sold here, a bowl of Sanwen, and the weather is so hot, those who run the business must be willing to buy it.”

When Chen Guizhi heard that it was feasible, he ate his breakfast in a few mouthfuls, got up and went to the kitchen to make soup.

After breakfast, Song Tiancai was also thinking about what to do with ice to relieve the heat.Looking at the two big ice cubes that can only be used to cool down, Song Tiancai's inspiration flashed.I went to the kitchen to find a few sand fruits and squeezed out the juice.After taking a sip to taste, Song Tiancai picked some sugar and put it in.

Then, I went to the back mountain to cut bamboo and came back. I separated a dozen intact bamboo tubes, cut a small opening with a knife, poured the juice in, and then plugged it with wood.There is not much sand and juice, and only one bamboo tube is used to fill it. Song Tiancai directly mixes it with cold white water and sugar, and fills three bamboo tubes.Then, dig two holes in the middle of the big ice cube, put the bamboo tube in, and pour the dug out ice cubes on top.I plan to wait an hour before I can eat popsicles.

Looking at the remaining bamboo tube, Song Tiancai did not waste it. He washed some rice, chopped bacon and shrimp, stuffed them all into the bamboo tube, and steamed them on the pot with a drawer.Thinking about it, I cooked another yellow croaker that was raised at home. When the soup was almost cooked, I put the soup in a clay pot, covered it tightly, and buried it in the hot ashes of the stove and sparks.

At Chenshi, Dasuo and Xiaosuo came to play with Song Xiaobao holding hands.Song Taoer has been pregnant for more than seven months, and even if her daughter-in-law is pregnant, Wan is worried that her daughter will go home alone for delivery.One sheep is herded, and two sheep are also herded. It is better to let two pregnant women together, and it is easy to take care of food and drink.

As for the big locks and small locks, they basically hang out with Chen Guizhi.Except for going back at dinner time, the Wan family generally never saw the shadow of the two little grandchildren.Yesterday, it was rare for Wan to take a break, and Dasuo and Xiaosuo clamored to pick peaches from the big peach tree in the middle of the village, so Wan took him there.

It was Song Tiancai who opened the door, Dasuo and Xiaosuo were a little shy, and stopped talking after calling uncle.Song Tiancai happily welcomed the two children in, and said with a smile: "Da Suo, Xiao Suo, uncle is making delicious food, and you can eat it later."

Yesterday's bananas completely conquered Dasuo and Xiaosuo. Although Song Tiancai didn't make the bananas, they were given to them by Song Tiancai.Anyway, it wasn't much worse. When they heard that there was something delicious, the two of them managed to avoid drooling.Dasuo and Xiaosuo were still holding something in their hands, obviously, it was for Song Xiaobao.

As soon as Zhao Yanxiu came back, he started the burden of being a teacher. Earlier, Song Tiancai gave Song Xiaobao to Zhao Yanxiu as an apprentice.When he didn't go to Quanzhou, Zhao Yanxiu read to Song Xiaobao and taught him calligraphy.I haven't seen him for a few months, Song Xiaobao has no memory at all.Zhao Yanxiu was patient, knowing that Song Xiaobao was still young and couldn't remember what was normal, so he started to read to him from the beginning.

He took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and instead of teaching Song Xiaobao to write, Zhao Yanxiu practiced calligraphy by himself.Song Xiaobao likes to join in the fun the most, watching Zhao Yanxiu write, also follow the gourd to paint, slowly learning from the side.Zhao Yanxiu didn't bother with him, and only stopped him in time when he washed his face with a brush.

Dasuo and Xiaosuo followed Song Tiancai to the study, saw Zhao Yanxiu and Song Xiaobao practicing calligraphy, held his breath, and tiptoed.Liu Kunwu has always told his two sons that reading and literacy is very important, which made the two children very confused about scholars.

When Song Xiaobao saw his two little brothers coming, he couldn't sit still.Turning left and right, touching the big lock and the small lock, he shouted: "Big brother, second brother, I write, and my uncle writes." After speaking, he held up the paper that had been drawn so hard to make out its appearance, as if offering a treasure. Show the big lock and the small lock.

Seeing his son acting stupid again without knowing it, Song Tiancai felt that he had to protect his son's face.He quickly opened his mouth and said to a group of radish heads: "I made rice in bamboo tubes and fish soup. After the meal is finished, there will be popsicles to eat. If you want to eat, follow me. Let's wash your hands."

Zhao Yanxiu closed and put down the pen as quickly as possible, and then, with an extremely natural expression, hugged Song Xiaobao and was the first to follow Song Tiancai out of the study.Dasuo and Xiaosuo followed closely, and Song Tiancai held a ladle and poured water for several people to wash their hands.
