"Let's go, don't delay here." Nan Shu said and turned her back first.Zhang Ri Zhangyue reluctantly watched You Ning get into the carriage, and watched the carriage gradually disappear at the end of the road.

On the way home, the family was silent.Back in Zhang's small courtyard, Nan Shu immediately went back to her room and fell asleep.Zhang Ri looked worriedly at Ama's room, "Mama Dou, is Ama sick?"

Dou Mama sighed.It's more than just being sick, the disease has entered the heart, but it's a pity that the patient didn't notice it himself, so no matter how much others say, it's useless.

"Why didn't Ama let me talk to Uncle You, but I talked to Uncle You for so long."

Zhang Ri thought about what he and Nan Shu said when they parted just now, no matter the length of the sentence or the number of words, it was out of proportion.Why is mine muttering to pass the time, but Ama's is not?

Dou Mama shook her head, Zhang Ri didn't get an answer, and Uncle You, who usually gave him the best answer, had just left, and Zhang Ri didn't want to ask the newly invited Mr. Xu.

Winter goes to spring and flowers bloom.After the New Year's Eve, spring is ushered in.

"Master, Mama, the weather is fine, why don't you go out for a walk."

"There are not so many places to go back and forth. I don't want to go." Nan Shu waved her hand lazily, continuing to flip through the ledger.You Ning left, but the backyard was not free, Fuzi still stayed here, the rent still had to be paid, but Fuzi had no money.What should I do if I have no money?Nan Shu couldn't do it, so she could only pay off the debt with labor.

Zhang Ri Zhangyue has another playmate by his side.Thinking of these, Nan Shu frowned.The light never comes in every month.I really don't know when it will be the end.

The only thing that makes Nan Shu feel more at ease is that the new husband doesn't want money.The one recommended by You Ning was none other than Dr. Xu Ju.

When Xu Ju came, everyone in the Zhang family was taken aback. Later, after listening to Xu Ju's lecture, although he was not as lively as You Ning, he was still a dedicated teacher.

Xu Ju has his own medical shop and house in the county, so he doesn't need to rent Zhang's small courtyard. He comes to class every morning, has lunch with the students at noon, and has an hour-long class in the afternoon.

Nan Shu restrained her thoughts, looked at the ledger in her hand, the column of expenses was a string of numbers, but the column of income had only a single item. Although the income was far more than the expenditure, Nan Shu couldn't help but let out another long sigh. I want to beat my chest and shout a few words, just sit and eat.

"Ama, I'm going to move to the backyard." Zhang Ri suddenly popped his head and hugged Nan Shu with one hand.

"Backyard? What are you doing there?" Nan Shu was surprised by Zhang Ri's sudden thought.

"Uncle You left a lot of books in the backyard. I want to move to the backyard so that I can read every day."

"You can read every day in the front yard." Nan Shu tapped her eldest son on the head amusedly.

"That's different."

"What's the difference?"

"It's just different." Zhang Ribian squeezed his mouth into Nanshu's arms desperately, "Ama, just promise me, promise me."

"It's up to you. Go over and talk to Fuzi and ask him to clean up a room for you. Both you and Zhang Xiaoniu will help."

"Okay." Zhang Ri happily ran away.

"Nan Mama, what are you talking about?" Liang Tong came out of the kitchen, wiped his hands on a dry cloth, and looked in the direction Zhang Ri ran away.

"He wants to move to the backyard. Boy, come and sit. Dou Mama is in charge of the kitchen. You don't have to interfere."

"I, I just want to see how things are done in the kitchen." Liang Tong moved a small bench and sat beside Nan Shu, clenched his small hands into fists, and lightly beat Nan Shu's shoulder. "Nan Mama, the strength is not bad."

"I don't do anything, so I don't need you to do these things." Said so, but Nan Shu half-closed her eyes, enjoying Liang Tong's service.

"Me, I also have nothing to do." Liang Tong replied with his head down.

Nan Shu let out a long sigh of relief. After the new year, she was one year older, and her originally ignorant and sprouting mind became clearer.Germinated seeds are slowly growing.Since when did the relationship between the two children change, starting from that handkerchief, or from that disappearance.In short, it was like this, the two children changed from provoking each other to one hiding and the other chasing.

Nan Shu couldn't tell what it was like.How big are the children, both of them are less than ten years old, in the past... Forget it, let alone the past, it has only been two years since I came here, everything in the past has gradually become blurred, only the people who live by my side People are getting clearer.Occasionally in my dreams, I may think of my wife for many years, or my lovely little grandson, but more often it is... that person who is far away in Qiongzhou and has no news.

I don't know how old the person who wrote a letter to report safety is, even worse than a child.

Nan Shu closed her eyes, thinking about it.Closing the account book in a fit of anger, what's the point of watching, if you read too much, you can't make a few more income out of thin air.

Liang Tong observed Nan Shu's expression carefully, and then looked at the closed account book.

"I will also look at the account book for my recent work at the Theoretician."

"Yeah, I learned it quite early."

"The family is discussing whether to buy more land. But it seems to say that good land is owned by the owner. There have been no major incidents recently. The county is small and it is not easy to buy good land. After talking about it, it seems to be Look for wasteland and hire people to open up wasteland.”

Nan Shu looked at Liang Tong suspiciously, "Is there any wasteland near the county seat?"

"It seems that there are some in the lower reaches of the Yudai River, but I don't know the details. It seems that more than ten years ago, the Yudai River changed its course, leaving a large area of ​​wasteland on both sides of the river. No one has taken care of it these years."

Nan Shu thought about it. After the river diverted, most of the land was silted land. It is not impossible to reclaim fertile land. Even if it did not reclaim fertile land, didn’t there be examples of planting lotus root or mulberry fish ponds in the past?It should be possible to do it now.But in this way, we need to have good farming hands. I only have Lao Zhangtou's family here, and I don't know if I can trust those hired outside.

"Master Mama, master Mama, shopkeeper Hu sent someone to deliver things again." Dou Mama yelled loudly, leading two burly Mamas to bring a basket of things.

Since I delivered it last year, this trip is the first time to deliver something after the New Year's Eve.

Nan Shu saw that there was mud and soil in the box, but she couldn't tell what was sent.Nan Shu's thoughts changed. Farming is not her major. Why don't she look at these things that she knew from time to time, and maybe she can find some ingredients that are not known here.

"Xiao Tong, you can't tell the outside world casually." Nan Shu patted Liang Tong's little hand to stop him from continuing to massage herself, "I understand your thoughts. If such a day really happened, I would be very happy. Xiaotong, are you A good boy. I like you very much. You are still young, and you should focus on studying and studying. When you grow up, things will come to fruition."

Liang Tong's face turned pale again, and gradually turned red. He lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes, "Nan Mama, Xiao Ri doesn't seem to like me."

"Is there anything I don't like about you. He's been studying too much, and he's lost his mind. Who wouldn't like you as a good boy." Nan Shu stood up, and walked towards Xin with a basket of things, which seemed to stop the fight dialogue.

Liang Tong sat alone for a while.He also understood Nan Shu's meaning, indicating that he didn't need to reveal the Liang family's plan, but later Nan Shu's words seemed to imply to himself that he was very satisfied with himself, and when he grew up, it would be a matter of course, so could it be that When I grow up, the Zhang family will propose marriage to the Liang family.Liang Tong was both happy and worried.The happy thing is that Nan Shu made it clear to herself, but the uneasy thing is Zhang Ri's attitude towards her.

Liang Tong was the tyrant of his family when he was a child, but when he grew up, relying on his good health, he never lost a fight with the Suo people, and he was the king of the children around the Liang family.The only person who is subdued is Zhang Ri, but no matter how Liang Tong lowers his figure to please Zhang Ri, he just ignores him, refuses to accept the handkerchief he gives, and stays far away from him in class, and now because of the time he spent in the front yard If it grows longer, it will be moved to the backyard.

Liang Tong clenched his fist, Zhang Ri!Nanmama has agreed to our business.See how long you can hide.

If Nan Shu knew what Liang Tong was thinking, she would cry out that she was wronged.How could he agree with Liang Tong's idea?I just want to remind Liang Tong not to talk about family affairs casually, and tell him not to fall in love early, and to read when it's time to study.Naturally, it means that when you grow up, someone will naturally pursue you, and there is no need to waste these thoughts at a young age.

This is how the misunderstanding arises.

Nan Shu rummaged through the newly delivered basket for a while, and found some unfamiliar plants except for a few coconuts she recognized.Nan Shu wondered if these plants might be washed, chopped, or ground into powder, they were ingredients that she knew before, but it turned out that she really couldn't tell what it was from this appearance.

Nan Shu handed some coconuts to Dou Mama and told him to open the lid and give each child one to drink.Leftover coconut meat, cooking tonight.

Cleanly chop the chicken into small pieces, scoop out a few large pieces of coconut meat with a spoon, and chop them into small pieces as well.First put the chicken into the pot and simmer for half an hour, wait until the chicken is soft, then add the coconut meat, also simmer with a simmer, wait for the sweetness of the coconut meat to slowly penetrate into the chicken soup, and the soup that comes out Sweet and delicious.If you are afraid that the chicken will be greasy, you can skim a layer of oil before serving the bowl.

Another dish uses dipped rice. The dipped rice is first soaked in water for an hour, and the coconut meat is cut into thin slices the length of a thumb.Add oil to the cauldron, fry it over high heat, add seasonings such as shredded ginger and garlic, then dip rice and water.Cover the dipped rice with clear water. Looking down from the water surface, it is about a thumb height away from the dipped rice. Continue to cook over high heat until the water is almost dry.
