Little wealth

I saw the little baby holding a small fork with her small hand, and forked a large spoonful of noodles from the bowl. The slippery noodles fell back into the bowl with a clatter the moment the fork was picked up, and only two or three sticks remained in the bowl. fork top.

But just these two or three sticks are enough, the little baby is very satisfied with this, she bent her head down, took a bite of a noodle and started sucking it out, her little mouth squirmed, and quickly sucked a mouthful of noodles, His cheeks bulged from eating, and he rolled his eyes with a smile.

Josh was helping the child peel the prawns. Seeing this silly child amused himself again, and put the shelled shrimp meat into the child's small bowl, he was amused by the child, "Eat yours quickly!" , don’t laugh, be careful you’ll choke later.”

"Hee hee~" The little baby gave a hee hee to the two adults, ate the noodles in his mouth, picked up the shrimp on the noodles with his hands, and took a big bite.

Seeing his grandson eating happily, Zhao Amu took a sip of the noodle soup from the bowl, nodded involuntarily, and said, "This soup is delicious." After finishing the bowl of soup, he went to add more to the pot. Back to the noodle soup.

Josh looked up and said, "There is still some soup and noodles in the pot. If you don't have enough for Amu, you can fill it yourself." When he saw the child who was about to bury his head in the bowl, he manually gave the child's head to the bowl. help up.

As if deliberately against him, the brat not only put his head down this time, but even got soup on the tip of his nose, and raised his head to giggle at him.

"..." Josh turned his face away, not wanting to recognize this little fool as his son.

"Yes, yes, I saw it, hehe, this bowl is enough for me." Zhao Amu came back with the bowl, and saw that her grandson ate his nose all over, so she hurriedly reached out to help him wipe it clean, "Eat quickly, Stop playing, it will be cold in a while."

This time the little baby ate the noodles honestly, but he couldn't avoid eating the noodles all over his nose and face, and even the clothes he was wearing were stained with noodles.

Josh didn't care about this scruffy son who ate noodles everywhere. His principle was that as long as the child could eat by himself, let him eat by himself, and if it got dirty for a while, it would be fine to wash it up.After a long time, his little cleanliness has been completely cured by his son, and now he can turn a blind eye to it.

As long as the child is not doing something dangerous, he can play whatever he wants in the yard on weekdays, and he has never cared much about it.

But he recently discovered that this son seems to be letting himself go more and more?

"Brother Ah Mu, do you still have noodles?" Zhao Hu came in from the outside and asked.

Seeing her son coming in from outside, Zhao Amu asked a little strangely: "Why did you come back from outside?"

"Brother asked me to send a bowl of noodles to Mr. Wang." Zhao Hu looked at the noodles in everyone's bowls, and licked his lips with his tongue. Seeing everyone eating noodles, he felt that his stomach was even hungrier. up.

"There's more, I'll serve it for you." Josh agreed, and got up to serve someone else's noodles. Fortunately, he cooked a lot of noodles today, otherwise it wouldn't be enough.Put the served noodles on the table, and said: "Sit here and eat, this table is a bit small, we can squeeze and sit and eat."

"Hey, thank you brother." Zhao Hu sat down unceremoniously, picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles with big mouthfuls.

Zhao Amu moved the chair to the side to make room for her son.

The little boy at the same table looked up at the adults eating noodles, stared at the little uncle next to him who was eating noodles with big eyes, and then looked at his own small bowl.Josh noticed that his son was staring at others without eating, so he reached out and ordered some of the little guy's bowl, and reminded, "Why are you staring at others? Eat your noodles."

"Yeah!" The little baby nodded her head seriously, grabbed the small fork, and started to eat the noodles with a snort like an adult.

"..." Josh couldn't help crying when he saw the fierce little boy eating the noodles. He shook his head with a smile, and peeled off the remaining shrimps for the boy to eat. He ate two of them himself, sucking As long as you suck the juice on your fingers, this shrimp is fresh and delicious.

I thought to myself that if I meet someone from the village to go fishing next time, I will ask if I have caught any shrimp. This food is not only delicious, but also high in protein. It is a good thing to supplement calcium for children.Fortunately, there is still a little dry outside, so I can eat two meals later.

"The noodle soup made by Mr. Zhao's husband is really delicious." There is a big bowl of fresh shrimp noodles for each person, and everyone eats without any leftovers, and the two servants are also satisfied.

Since the new county magistrate took office, he has been very strict with the people below them. Almost all the yamen servants in the previous yamen have been replaced. Into the prison.

They, the second batch of yamen servants who came up, all know the rules of the county magistrate, not to mention doing bad things to fish and meat people, they usually go to the countryside to do things for the village and the people, and they almost broke their legs when they went a little farther away. , Let alone take a little benefit from the common people, even dare to drink more water before going back.

It was the first time that someone sat in an ox cart like today and left someone else to eat such a big bowl of noodles.The noodles are really delicious, even better than the noodles they ate at the noodle restaurant in the town.

"I don't know if it's still in the pot, I'll go and have a look, and I'll serve some more for the two masters." Hearing others praise his husband's craftsmanship is better than hearing others praise his woodwork. To make Zhao He happy.

The two yamen servants waved their hands hurriedly, and one of the taller yamen servants said, "No, no, no. Aren't you still going back with us to ask the yamen to do business? If not, let's go." At this moment, the water was also drunk, The noodles are eaten, and the things that should be done are done, and they have to go back to the Yamen to deal with errands.

Hearing the voices in the main room, knowing that buying land would cost money, Josh took out a prepared money bag from his pocket and handed it to his brother-in-law, and said: "This is silver, give it to your brother."

"Oh, okay, I'll send it to my brother right now." Zhao Hu took the money bag, and when he went out, he happened to see his brother coming out of the house with two yamen servants and the village chiefs, so he secretly He stuffed the money bag to his brother.

Zhao He took the money bag and put it in his arms, looked up to the door of the kitchen, and saw the child standing at the door of the kitchen, and Fu Lang was standing behind the child.However, he didn't stop under his feet, and continued to follow the people out.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of people going out that Josh took the child out of the kitchen, went to the door and took a look outside, seeing the scene of the bullock cart going away.

The man sitting on the bullock cart seemed to have a feeling, and looked back.

Zhao Hu ran back and said to Ah Mu and his brothers standing at the gate of the yard: "My elder brother said that he would go to the Yamen with the two masters, and he would not be back until later."

"Yeah, okay, got it, let's go in too." Josh took the children back to the yard, closed the door behind his back, and went to clean up the dishes in the house. The soup was all eaten clean.

There was still a little noodle soup and noodles left in the pot, so he filled half a bowl of the remaining noodle soup and gave it to my uncle, and poured the remaining mouthful into the bowl where the dog eats, and called out, "Ah Huang, come and eat the noodles."

Hearing the master calling it, Ah Huang went over wagging his tail, sniffed his nose, poked his head into the basin, and opened his mouth to eat the food in the basin.

Zhao Hu, who was squatting at the door of the kitchen with a big bowl, glanced at Rhubarb who was eating noodles, and then looked at the noodles in his own bowl. Why did he feel that he was a bit like Ah Huang?

He shook his head, he is not Ah Huang!

Zhao Hu took a mouthful of noodles with the chopsticks in his hand, and ate them in a few mouthfuls.Put the bowls and chopsticks into the wooden basin, and said to Eminem who was washing the dishes: "Eminem, go and rest, let me do the washing."

"No, no, I'll just wash it with my hands. If you want to be busy, go and do it." Zhao Amu didn't give way, holding a cloth in her hand to wipe the dishes, and let her son do his work.

But Zhao Hu didn't go away, and helped his mother wash the dishes before going to the wooden house. Although his elder brother had gone out, there was no problem for him to work alone.After getting married, Zhao Hu also began to realize that he would raise children and husband like his elder brother in the future, and finally found a little bit of thought to learn how to work and make money.

Seeing the youngest son working in the wooden house, a smile flashed in Zhao Amu's eyes, knowing that the youngest son had finally grown up.

**

There is one person missing in the family, and the sound of knocking on wood in the wooden house seems to be quieter.

After noon, the sun slanted to the west, and the child sleeping on the bed in the room had already fallen asleep.

Josh was lying on his side on the bed, holding a fan in his hand and fanning it gently. After fanning for a while, he felt tired, so he stopped, put the fan on the other side, and got up.Pulling the quilt to cover the child's stomach, he saw the child sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, so he gently left the room.

"The child is asleep?" Zhao Amu was sitting at the door of the main room, holding an embroidery needle and sewing hairpins. The hairpins he made now are even more beautiful than the ones he could make before, and the styles are also well-designed. It's a little more complicated.

Josh hummed and said, "Fell asleep. Take him back to the house at this time every day. He climbed on the bed by himself and fell asleep in a short while." He sat down on the opposite stool and took the I picked up the half-made hairpins on the small basket, and sewed them up one after another.

Zhao Amu thought that they had made a box of hairpins, so she asked, "Shall we go to town someday and sell the hairpins we made?"

"Well, let's wait for a few more days, and they will soon be seated. Then we will go to the town together. Didn't you say, Amu, that we have to watch the date? We can just go together then." Josh Thinking that they haven't set up stalls in the town for a while, they have saved a lot of hairpin flowers.

Knowing that his mother was worried that the hairpins would not be sold, Josh said, "Don't worry, mother, the hairpins we made are so beautiful that someone will buy them." Just sell it slowly.

"Hehe, I'm not sure. Okay, let's go with you next time." Zhao Amu said with a smile.

The two talked and laughed while working, and the work in hand was done quickly.

Josh yawned twice, and tears came out of the corners of his eyes. After the most sleepy part of the afternoon, his spirit slowly recovered.

But when he was sewing hairpins, he was thinking about other things in his mind. It is too boring to do this all day long, and this thing does not make much money. As long as someone buys it back and takes it apart and studies it, It is easy to learn, so doing this thing is not a long-term job, so it is better to think of other ways to make money.

The family has just bought land and will soon build a house, and money is being spent quickly.

After the delivery of this batch of goods and getting the money, I don't know when the next time I encounter such a large order. It is not every day that such a large order occurs. Last time they were lucky and met that person Master Zhou has such a big order.But maybe they could make more small wooden carts and ship them elsewhere to sell?As long as other carpenters learn to make this little wooden cart, they should all be in business.

It's just that Anyang Town may not be very popular, and it might be better to change to a bigger town.But when he thought about the children at home, it seemed inconvenient for them to go so far away. After thinking about it, Josh had no choice but to give up this idea in his mind.

I was busy thinking about things while my mind was busy, and the time passed quickly.

"Mum, you're here. I'm going to cook in the kitchen." Moving over to the sun basking in the yard, counting the time was almost up, Josh got up and went to cook in the kitchen.Zhao Amu lowered her head and bit off the thread in her hand, put down the finished hairpin, got up and said, "I'll go with you."

"Mum, go to the yard and pick some vegetables and come back. By the way, pick a catfish. Let's fry catfish tonight." Josh was putting the cleaned rice into the pot to cook, and looked back , Said: "It just so happens that we have shrimp today, and the fried pumpkin with shrimp is delicious."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhao Amu took down the basket hanging on the door, and took the basket to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

**

They didn't return to the village until the sun set in the west. Zhao He gave Wang Sanye the money for the two round trips a day, and asked Wang Sanye to take the village chief home, and he went home alone. The direction is back.

Seeing the familiar small courtyard from a distance, a smile appeared on the man's face.

Seeing their dog wagging its tail and running towards the door, Josh knew that the person who had gone out had returned, and said to the children and uncle who were waiting for dinner: "Okay, it should be your father who is back, we can prepare dinner Yes. Xiaohu, go and bring out the dishes."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished his words, the door of the yard was pushed open from the outside, and the man who came back was the man who had gone out to buy land and had only come back now.

"Brother, you're back!" Zhao Hu was very happy to see his brother back, and when his brother came back, he said that they can have dinner, "Brother, everything is fried and cooked, and we will have dinner when you come back. "

"Well, wait for a long time." Zhao He took out a land deed from his arms and handed it to his husband.Josh reached out to take it, unfolded it and saw the seal stamped on it, without asking, he knew that this was the title deed for the land they bought today, looked up at the man, and asked, "Is everything done?"

"Well, it's all done, here's the remaining silver." The man handed back the remaining silver after the land was sold to Fu Lang.Josh didn't ask how much money was spent and how much money was left. He took the money bag and the land deed, and said, "I'll put the things away. You go and wash your hands. Let's get ready for dinner."

"Yeah." Zhao He scooped up water to wash his face and hands, and then went to the kitchen to help serve dishes.

The little baby followed behind her father, and was pulled over by her father to wash her little hands.After washing the child's hands, Zhao He took the child and sat down before going into the kitchen.

Zhao Hu had already taken out all the dishes and bowls and chopsticks in one step. Seeing his brother coming in with the last vegetable soup in his hand, he said, "Brother, I have already taken it, so there is no need to take it. Go out and sit down." Let's eat."

The family put the dishes on the table outside the yard and sat down around the table.

In the middle is a large pot of fresh shrimp fried cattail. The shrimp shell and shrimp line have been removed.

"Everyone, let's eat. There aren't many dishes today, so let's just eat as we go." The prawns were half cooked at noon, and there were not many left, so the stir-fried fresh prawns that were originally planned to be made became the ones in front of us. A pot of pumpkin fried shrimp.

Josh took the child's small bowl to fill half a bowl of rice, picked up a small spoon, scooped up a little soup, mixed it into the rice, picked up two shrimps, cut them into small pieces and mixed them into the rice , put a few catkins in the bowl for the child, and then put the small bowl in front of the child, "Okay, you can eat."

Seeing the child grabbing a rice spoon and scooping up cucumbers into his mouth, he asked, "Do you know what you're eating now?"

"Yeah?" The little boy raised his head, his eyes full of confusion.

"It's the gourds you always ran into the vegetable garden to pick!" Josh pointed to the large string of gourds hanging at their door, and several larger ones were added at the end, all of which were their sons who ran into the vegetable garden Picked secretly.

The melon vines grew out of the vegetable garden, and the melons also grew outside. Their son didn't need to run into the vegetable garden, he could destroy the melons by standing outside!

"Gourd~" The little boy still knows about the little gourd, and he doesn't know whether he understands that what he eats is the stir-fried dish of the grown-up big gourd.

Josh felt that their son might not understand well, so he was so angry that he still picked up a large chopstick of cattail fruit and put it into his son's small bowl, "You should eat, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"Hee hee ~ Ah Mu~" Xiao Wa'er didn't have the consciousness that he shouldn't bother her if the adults didn't talk to him, and she was still calling the adults persistently.

Hearing that his ears on both sides were about to callus, Josh picked up a whole shrimp with chopsticks and stuffed it into his son's mouth.

With the laughter of children at the dinner table, I will not feel lonely after eating this meal.

Although there are not many dishes in the evening, everyone likes to eat this pot of fried pumpkin with fresh shrimps, especially this vegetable juice, scoop two spoonfuls into the rice, and even the rice becomes more delicious.Brothers Zhao He and Zhao Hu eat like they are in a competition every time they eat. You put down the spoon, and it is my turn to pick it up. Just as the previous one was put down, the next one picks up again.

"..." Josh looked at these two people who were eating more and more, and felt that their family could hardly support these two people.

Only Zhao Amu was laughing and encouraging his son and grandchildren to eat more...
