Little husband's market life

After the winter solstice, Qiao Zhishu and Sun Sheng went to study at Su Yi's house.

Su Yi failed the provincial examination this time, but he was only 17 years old, many of his age and even scholars failed the examination.But his childhood sweetheart Yu Lan and his mother will have to work hard for another three years, so he is even more motivated.

The two had rushed early in the morning, and when Su's mother saw the food, eggs, meat, and cloth they were carrying, she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, only Yu Lansu looked sad and depressed.

"Oh, Qiaoer is here? This is Sheng'er from the Sun family, right? He looks handsome. By the way, last time Master Sun came to visit and said that Mrs. Sun is pregnant. Count the days, it's time to give birth, right?"

The other party took the initiative to exchange greetings, and Qiao Zhishu also replied kindly and politely: "Hello, Aunt Su, my aunt was born on December [-]th, twins, and the full moon is almost here."

"Or twins? The Sun family is really blessed."

Sun Sheng came to Su's house for the first time, but he has a lively personality and can talk to the family of Shangjing Village at the foot of the mountain, so he sent his blessings to Su's mother.

"Mr. Su is very knowledgeable, and Aunt Su is the lucky one. I wish Aunt Su will have twin grandchildren as soon as possible." Seeing that Yu Lan was already dressed up, he thought that Su Yi and Yu Lan were already married.

The smile on Aunt Su's face stopped for a while, and she continued: "Then Auntie has accepted your blessing. I'm afraid it won't be too long ago. My son is stubborn, saying that he has nothing to learn and doesn't think about starting a family."

Qiao Zhishu subconsciously looked at Yu Lan, Yu Lan really looked sad, lowered her head and hurried out of the living room.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, Qiao Zhishu hurriedly changed the topic, and after talking for a while, Su Yi called them into the study.

At noon, Su Yi asked them to relax their eyes and hands, and went out of the study. Qiao Zhishu and Sun Sheng immediately hunched over their shoulders and huddled against each other.

"Reading is so boring." Sun Sheng said.

Qiao Zhishu also yawned, "Why is it so boring, how nice it is to learn to be as thoughtful as my brother, and act prudently?"

"But I don't understand."

"Where did you not understand? Show me..." Qiao Zhishu began to learn from Sheng Yao at the age of eight, while Sun Sheng only saw Sheng Yao every year during the tea-picking season.

Sun Sheng didn't pay attention to the lectures, so naturally he couldn't point it out, but he didn't dawdle, he also had his own focus.

He leaned close to Qiao Zhishu's ear, covered his mouth and whispered, "Sir, you are in a bad mood today, just like Mrs. Sister Yu, you must be bickering."

Qiao Zhishu glanced at the door, turned around and shoved Sun Sheng with his shoulder, and the two little brothers were laughing and fighting together.

Su Yi was really in a bad mood, so he went to find Yu Lan.Since a matchmaker came to him two days ago to propose a marriage for the rich master's daughter, saying that she saw his talent, after that, Yu Lan was not happy.

He is not stupid, he naturally felt it.

"Lan Lan, Qiao Er and the others brought a horse. I think the color is peach but red. It suits you very well. I will ask my mother to take it and make clothes for you. What else do you want, just tell me. I will definitely fight for you, just don't get angry with me anymore, okay?"

Yu Lan sat under the eaves to hold the soles of her shoes, she was stunned when she heard the words, but finally didn't speak, she lowered her head and continued to thread the needle.

Su Yi stood quietly for a while.

Sure enough, Yu Lan still couldn't hold back, "You know, I never cared about these things, don't ask mother to make them for me."

Seeing that Qingmei couldn't be coaxed well, Su Yi rubbed his nose and said clumsily, "Then, don't be angry with me, I've been bored for the past two days."

Yu Lan sighed, "Brother Yi, have you ever thought about how many matchmakers will be found in these three years?"

She is sixteen this year, and Su Yi is eighteen.She had no idea, her family was gone, she only had the Su family, and it was promised that she would get married when she was sixteen, but Su Yi was depressed after failing the exam, and vowed not to get married if she failed the exam.

Su Yi hurriedly expressed his heart: "So you are unhappy because of this? Lan Lan, I didn't intend to delay the marriage. To me, the delay is like hanging on a beam, and it is to imitate the hard work of Sun Jing, a great scholar in the Han Dynasty."

Yu Lan put down the needle, and obediently looked up at Su Yi with serious and trusting eyes.

Su Yi smiled slightly, and confessed shyly: "In my heart, those ladies from rich families are no match for you. They just have a rich father, and they can do nothing without leaving home. I, Su Yi, want If I marry, I will marry a woman like you who is capable and virtuous."

Yu Lan smiled shyly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. No woman in the world is as good as you, Lan Lan, who manages the house like this."

Yu Lanjiao said: "Nonsense, you often tell me the allusion about Mrs. Tofu Xi Shima. At that time, you said that women in the world are not as good as her."

"What's the matter? I don't want to marry her."

Yu Lan felt relieved when she heard what Su Yi said, "The Sun family respects you so much, go back and teach those two children well, my hands have become better recently, and I can embroider a few more pairs of shoe soles every day from now on. You just study hard, don’t be reluctant to buy books.”

Su Yi looked down at her hands, and said considerately: "Now that I have taken those two children, the family can be better off. You don't have to suffer like this anymore. When I win the Juren, we will get married. I won't let you take needles anymore." Do embroidery."

"Yeah." After hearing this, Yu Lan's hands and feet became faster. Once the day has a bright future, she will feel more energetic.

Su Yi also went back to the study contentedly. Seeing the two children leaning against each other, they showed their first smiles of the day.

"Have you rested yet?"

Qiao Zhishu pushed Sun Sheng, nodded again and again, "Have a good rest."

"Okay, let's go out for dinner, let's continue in the afternoon."

The lunch cooked by Aunt Su was light and delicious. When they were eating, they also saw Sister Yu's smiling face.

……

On the way home, Qiao Zhishu pulled the reins, and Sun Sheng sat behind and hugged his waist. When going to the county town, Sun Sheng sat in the front and rode the horse, so he replaced him when returning home.

Sun Sheng also kept telling Qiao Zhishu, "At noon, the husband must have gone to have a relationship with Sister Yu! After Uncle Maojian said that he had a kiss, he kept smiling all day long, and Dad said that people who are in love are like this !"

Qiao Zhishu thought about it seriously, nodded solemnly and said, "I think you're right."

"Of course!" Sun Sheng looked like I knew everything. He was only 12 years old, but he was very proud.

"Then tell me, what do you do when you talk about love?"

Sun Sheng giggled, "Just hug and recite love poems."

"Then, Uncle Maojian is illiterate, how can he talk about love?"

"Huh? Let's just hug each other. You see, when we grow up, there is no one to hug me. That day I wanted my father to carry me down the mountain, but my father said that I can't be hugged anymore when I grow up."

"Oh." Qiao Zhishu was in a low mood. Then when his brother came back, he would grow up, and he hadn't hugged his brother enough yet.

As if they had discovered some adult's secret, the two went back to Shangjing Village all the way around 'talking about love'.

As soon as he entered the Sun's family compound, Xiao Huansheng rushed to rush to Qiao Zhishu, "Little uncle!"

Qiao Zhishu held her under the armpit and hugged her, Xiao Huansheng touched his horns, touched his ears, very close and dependent on him.

Holding a bowl of goat's milk, Sheng Ying reprimanded little Huansheng, "Huansheng? Why don't you finish drinking it? You don't gain weight, and you don't eat good things if you give you good things. You are disobedient. Mom is worried about you." All."

Xiao Huansheng looked at his mother with wide eyes in fear.

Qiao Zhishu went forward with her in his arms, and took the goat milk bowl, "Is it because it's cold, so you didn't drink it?"

Sheng Ying poked her daughter's puffy belly angrily, "I warmed it up and served it to her. I'll feed the baby, and she put the cold one."

Qiao Zhishu understood, "I'm afraid I'm not used to drinking, should I return the Sheng?"

Xiao Huansheng pouted his little mouth, then pinched his little nose, and shook his head repeatedly.

Only then did Qiao Zhishu understand, and said to Sheng Ying, "Goat's milk smells bad, she can't smell it."

Sheng Ying sighed, "I didn't have enough milk to drink, but now I have ewes, but I can't finish it. I thought she was weaned early, and let her drink to nourish her body, so there is no need to waste goat milk. She It's also coquettish."

Looking at the milky white goat's milk, Qiao Zhishu also felt that it was a pity, and said, "Then I'll take it to the kitchen and see what cakes I can make for Huan Sheng. It would be too wasteful to pour it out."

Sheng Ying didn't care, and nodded, "That's fine, you go, if she is still picky, don't get used to her."

Qiao Zhishu responded, hugged Xiao Huansheng, and went to the kitchen with the goat's milk.

"Let uncle think about it, what kind of goat milk cake can I make for you? Huansheng, do you want rice noodles or glutinous rice noodles? Tell uncle..."

Sheng Ying watched from behind and grinned, "This kid is only twelve, and he's just so good at coaxing babies."

Old Mrs. Sun passed by and stood aside to look at the kitchen. Qiao Zhishu was squatting inside, and Xiao Huansheng was pointing to the rice noodle jar in his arms. The little girl really picked up the ingredients.

"Qiaoer is not good at coaxing babies, but really loves Huansheng."

Only then did Sheng Ying see her grandma coming, she stepped forward to support her, and responded with a smile, "That's right, although this child has suffered, he doesn't suffer from others, and his heart is right."

Mrs. Sun: "This child is too bitter. Once someone gives him warmth, he will be determined."

So, Qiao Zhishu, this kid, is on point, Sheng Yao has a good eye.

Qiao Zhishu chose rice flour in the end, based on the idea of ​​rice cereal that children eat.

Pour the cold goat milk into the pot, heat it on a low heat, add rice noodles, and stir constantly with a small wooden spatula to make the goat milk rice noodles sticky like rice paste, then pour honey into it for seasoning, and finally cool down until it becomes soft milk cake.

It still has a faint smell of goat milk, but it is delicious when rolled in soybean flour.

Xiao Huansheng sat on the threshold of the kitchen with a small bowl by herself. She didn't need to use her teeth. She just sipped it with her mouth and it melted. The taste was soft and sweet.

"Brother, what delicious food have you cooked up again?" Sun Hanyan came to find Xiao Huansheng, who took her sister to play.

Qiao Zhishu was still pounding the fried soybeans. When she saw Sun Hanyan coming, she turned her head and nodded her chin into the pot, "I boiled some goat milk cakes, and I went to order them to eat."

Sun Hanyan happily took the bowl, and then Qiao Zhishu sprinkled a few spoonfuls of soybean powder into her bowl, and she took it to show off in front of her elders.

The adults of the Sun family tasted a spoonful, and the taste was amazing, and they all praised Qiao Zhishu.

Sun Hongrun ate stewed pig's trotters for his daughter-in-law every day these days. There was no way, Tao could barely drink a bowl of pig's trotters soup, but he couldn't eat any meat and peanuts.So he commented: "Qiaoer's cooking is novel. Rice noodles can be made like meat, which is more springy than stewed pig's trotters."

"It's like holding the clouds in the sky." Sun Sheng, who just started reading, described it quite artistically.

"Like custard! But stronger than custard."

Seeing that her daughter's little head was about to be buried in the bowl, Sheng Ying was very happy, "It's all right now, the extra goat's milk won't be wasted in the future, you little guys don't drink any of them, wait until Qiaoer Make cakes and fight one by one..."

"Qiaoer is so powerful, I will celebrate the new year soon, and I want you to eat strong and healthy for the new year." Mrs. Sun put her hands on her lap and smiled lovingly, "By the way, Lang'er and Chao'er are also full moon. , it's time to go to the Buddha and pray for the two brothers, and ask the Buddha to bless you with familiar eyes, and by the way, ask a master to consecrate the longevity lock."

Sun Hongrun nodded immediately, "Yes, my son is ready to go, and he will go in two days."

When Qiao Zhishu heard about the Buddha, his little ears immediately perked up, "I know Wolong Temple! My brother-in-law, I will go too."

I don’t know if the old monk still remembers the name Sheng Gang. If he does, he wants to inform that Gang’er is gone, so can he ask the Buddha to give Gang’er a good pregnancy and give Gang’er a healthy body.

"Wolong Temple?" Mrs. Sun repeated. She had never heard of this temple, and she thought it was not a big one. "Where did you hear about it? Why do you want to go to Wolong Temple?"

"Because I know a master from Wolong Temple."

Qiao Zhishu told him about the old monk begging for alms.

"Okay, okay, since it is destined for you, then go to Wolong Temple and bring some tea leaves from home to give to the master."

Sun Hongrun also nodded, "Okay, I'll go down the mountain tomorrow to inquire about it."
