Village Flowers and Female Scholars

Xie’s kitchen is not very big, but there are few things. There is a built-in stove against the wall in the middle, a shelf on the left for rice, oil, salt and bowls and chopsticks, and a neat pile of firewood on the right. The remaining wood was split and dried in the sun and piled up.The usual dining table is placed in the corner, and the center of the kitchen is empty.

Now that winter is beginning, although there is a bit of sunshine in the daytime, the weather is quite cold in the morning and evening, and there is no shortage of firewood. Yu Po comes over every day to chat. Cao E lit a fire in the open space in the middle of the kitchen, and moved a few small benches around the side. Chatting by the fire.

Last time Xie Yan picked some tung tree fruits and used them to make oil lamps, which was just enough.

When Xie Yan and Zhuang Wan got out of the room, they saw the lights on in the opposite kitchen, Granny Yu's rambling words were being heard, mixed with Cao E's voice, sometimes accompanied by two laughs.

Seeing the two tall figures coming in one after the other from the door, Cao E cast a glance at them and said, "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. What time is this? If you don't starve, your stomach is empty. How can you keep up with the food in your mind?" Got it."

"Look, how eccentric my mother is, she never cared so much about whether I ate or not."

"I don't care about you. You come here with a bowl before my food is fried. I don't know if you eat or not."

Xie Yan said with a smile: "Mother, am I hungry again, if there is more rice left, I will eat more."

When I was warming the fire just now, the pot was placed not far away, and the rice was kept warm so that it would not be burnt. Cao E lifted the lid and said, "You can eat a little, I will heat the soup first." .”

Zhuang Wan said: "I eat less, if Jinniang is hungry, I can eat more, I can drink some soup."

"It's impossible, she has eaten dinner, and she is greedy now, and I cooked a lot, enough for the two of you to eat together, your grandma brought a few eggs earlier, and I will fry an egg for each of you." enough."

When Xie Yuangu heard the eggs, his eyes lit up and he said, "Mom, I want fried eggs too."

Back in Cao's house, it was hard to even lick the shells, let alone eat eggs. Although Xie's family didn't raise chickens yet, Granny Yu brought several of them and didn't eat them. It doesn't cost much.

Cao E also has more than 100 Wen coins on her body now, so she feels at ease.

"Okay, I'll fry one for you too—do you want Granny Yu, I'll fry one for you, everyone has it."

Yu Po smiled and said: "The old lady is too full for dinner, and she's still full on her stomach at the moment, so fry a few more for the children, not enough for the family. Tomorrow, Xiao Gu'er will go get it with her mother-in-law."

"Enough is enough, as much as you can eat, the two little hens I asked you for are now starting to cuddle, and they will be able to lay eggs soon, and you can eat as much as you want by then."

Cao E put the small frying pan on the stove while talking, and cracked two eggs swiftly while taking advantage of the hot oil.

With the sizzling sound of the oil, the aroma of the eggs overflowed everywhere, making Xiao Gu'er swallow with a gurgling saliva.

"It seems that Xiaogu'er is hungrier than your scholar sister." Xie Yan said teasingly to her younger brother.

Xie Yuangu scratched his nose with some embarrassment and said: "I was obviously not hungry just now, but who would have thought that my mother would keep screaming like a drum after frying the pan like this."

While the eggs were frying on the pan, Cao E scooped up a bowl of hot soup for Zhuang Wan with a small bowl and handed it to her, saying, "I've been writing and writing all day, so you're exhausted. Let's drink some hot soup first to warm you up." Warm up."

Zhuang Wan shyly took over the soup bowl and said, "Thank you, Auntie, next time I will make it myself."

"Why are you being polite to my aunt? No one in our family Jin'er has been willing to play with her since she was a child. Now it's thanks to your grandparents who don't dislike our bad reputation and are willing to associate with us. You are a scholar, and my family's Jin'er is considered high .”

Hearing what her mother said, Xie Yan stomped her foot and said, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

Zhuang Wan couldn't help but smile: "Yes, Auntie, don't talk nonsense, it's not about dating, there is no such thing as a high-ranking or not, even if it's really talking about marriage, it's just a matter of seeing the right eye, there are so many particularities. "

"This child is really sincere. If someone's younger generation can marry him in the future, he will be really blessed."

Xie Yuangu on the side couldn't help interjecting after hearing what his mother said: "Sister Xiucai is so good-looking and knowledgeable, those people are not good enough for her."

Yu Po smiled: "Then Xiaoguer, tell me what kind of family your talented elder sister should look for?"

Xie Yuangu's black eyes turned to lock on his elder sister and said: "Sister is worthy of being a talented elder sister. My elder sister is capable and can make money, can collect medicine to cure diseases, and can tell funny stories." .”

Xie Yan didn't expect that this little bastard would actually bring up the topic on herself, and she always felt a little embarrassed to be praised, not to mention that she still had those charming thoughts in her heart, she blushed slightly and was about to speak, but was preempted by Zhuang Wan beside her. She took a step forward and said, "I also think your elder sister is pretty good, and you will be a good wife and mother after you get married."

Just joking, Yu Po stretched out her hand and touched Xiao Gu'er's head and said, "If your elder sister is a boy, tomorrow my mother-in-law will send your talented sister to the door without even asking for a dowry."

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.

Xie Yan, taking advantage of everyone's laughter, couldn't help but look at Zhuang Wan secretly, dreaming wildly in her heart, and the heat crept up from her ears.

After Zhuang Wan finished drinking a bowl of soup, Cao E immediately licked her a bowl of rice, which made her a little embarrassed to serve her, but at this point, she had a bowl of hot soup, and then a bowl of rice to add some food. Covered with a fried egg, it is simply beautiful.

Zhuang Wan often copied books very late on weekdays. Granny Yu didn't know her time, so she could only eat at the fixed time in the past. As for Zhuang Wan, she could heat it up whenever she wanted.

But Zhuang Wan is really not good at housework. He can't handle hot meals and light a fire. Sometimes he is too lazy to do these things. It is enough to eat cold meals to fill his stomach. Now at night, he can still drink hot soup and Fragrant eggs, naturally very happy.

Even eating is not as reserved as before.

Xie Yan's body is still growing now, and she can eat half a bowl of rice mixed with a bowl of soup with great relish. Seeing Xie Yuangu staring at her eagerly after finishing his fried egg, he gave up the egg again in a soft heart.

Seeing this, Cao E couldn't help but angrily said: "I didn't say much just now, I'll fry one more, now I've washed the pot, but I won't spoil you anymore."

Xie Yan grinned and said: "Tomorrow night, we will fry a few more, two of us three and one."

Zhuang Wan watched the siblings humbly, then saw that she took a small bite of the fried egg in the bowl, then raised her eyes to look at Xie Yan, and finally lowered her head and said nothing.

But this action was seen by the sharp-eyed Xie Yan, who also noticed the egg that Zhuang Wan took a bite out of, her heart beat a little fast, she coughed lightly and approached her in a low voice: "If you don't think it tastes good, give it to me." I'll eat it, but don't let it go to waste."

How can a delicious fried egg be bad, but at this time I want to give it to her.

With Zhuang Wan's personality and sense of cleanliness, she would only feel embarrassed to give it to her after eating it, but for some reason, she accidentally put the bitten egg into Xie Yan's bowl.

The three people nearby didn't pay attention to this side, but Xie Yan's heart was beating like a drum for a moment. She didn't have the nerve to look up at the other party, and lowered her head to pick up the egg that Zhuang Wan had eaten and put it on her tooth mark, and bit another egg. a small bit.

The tip of the tongue swept over the egg in his mouth, as if touching the body fluid left by the man on the egg, just like brushing the tip of her tongue.

She didn't know that when she lowered her head to chew, the eyes of the woman beside her kept staring at her closely. Under the dim light, no one could see what kind of emotion was hidden in those eyes.

After eating, Xie Yan told her mother about waking up early to bind the books, Cao E immediately agreed, and seeing the darkness outside, she invited the grandparent and grandson to stay overnight.

"Xiao Gu'er's house is not occupied yet, so it's good to spread out the bedding. Jin'er and Wan'er share a room, it's just right."

Zhuang Wan wanted to go back to take a bath, so she declined politely. Seeing the grandparents and grandson walking away with torches, Cao E closed the door of the courtyard and locked her son tightly until the lights in their house were lit, and took her son into the house to sleep.

And Xie Yan lay back on her bed after eating and drinking, planning to go to the town tomorrow to see if Zhuang Wan's first scroll could have been sold for three taels of silver, and whether the next step would be to sell it to others. The form of the academy.

Thinking of all kinds of ways to make money, but my thoughts drifted to the fried egg tonight, I couldn't help but brush my tongue back and forth against my jaw, and I didn't know what I was expecting.

There is also a piece of softness attached to the back during the day, I just feel a sway in my heart, I feel a physical emptiness for the first time, I can't help but move my legs together, I can't bear to move, I want to Get some comfort.

Going back and forth like this several times, thinking wildly in my mind, I don't know when, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

The author has something to say: Xie Yan: I should keep her tonight, otherwise I don’t have to grind my legs
