You may not believe it, but Cheng Zhongqian's family, a migrant, was the first in Beihe Village to own an iron pot.
Not even the village chief has a cow at home, and he has never thought about it. How expensive!
You can buy as much meat as you want with just one iron pot! It’s not like you can’t eat anything else, so why waste the money!
But now, the village chief is beginning to waver. Maybe it would be good to buy an iron pot?
Even the village chief's house not far from Ling Bao's house had this idea, let alone those households near Cheng's house. He kept swallowing his saliva, and finally threw his chopsticks and stopped eating!
However, the aroma became stronger and stronger, and my stomach growled just by smelling it. In the end, I could only silently pick it up again and ate three big bowls!
Ling Bao was holding on to the desk and refused to leave. His little nose was twitching and his eyes were bright: "It smells so good!"
The king's hind legs were still not high enough when he stood up, but his arm strength was amazing. He put his front paws on the desk and hung himself up. His eyes were also bright, and he drooled and said, "It smells really good!"
Ever since it found Lingbao, it hasn't smelled such a fragrant smell for a long time, meow meow!
Ling Bao was spinning beside her like a little top. Every time Cheng Yi asked for any seasoning, she could quickly find it and hand it over. The brother and sister cooperated flawlessly.
After all the vegetables were fried, Ling Bao was shocked to find: "Second brother, look, there is so little firewood used for cooking in the iron pot!"
It was the first time I used an iron pot, so I was inevitably excited, so Cheng Yi fried five dishes!
But the firewood used for these five dishes is less than half of usual!
Cheng Yi took a look and realized it was true!
"You don't have to worry about running out of firewood in the future."
Stir-fried vegetables are indeed more fragrant than stewed vegetables. Not only did the whole family eat cleanly, Cheng Yi used the last vegetable soup to mix with rice!
Ling Bao and Da Wang lay slumped on the bed together. They were so skinny, but their stomachs were bulging, like a little rubber ball. Not to mention how fun it was.
A spring rain came suddenly in the silent night.
Cheng Zhongqian, who was thinking about solving the problem with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, raised his body and listened carefully. When he heard that there was a big trend, he smashed it to the ground.
Cheng Zhongqian got up and lit the oil lamp, covered his two sons with quilts, opened the door and went to the next door.
The cold wind blew the flames from side to side and almost went out several times.
Cheng Zhongqian pushed the door open, and the lying king raised his head alertly. His eyes were glowing green in the dark night, which startled him.
King: "Meow?" Is something wrong?
Cheng Zhongqian calmed down, glanced at Ling Bao who was sleeping soundly, shook his head and left again.
The king has a question mark in his head, what is this person doing here?
Regardless, the king yawned and lay down next to Ling Bao again.
The rain continued until the early morning of the next day and didn't stop.
Cheng Zhongqian put on his raincoat and bamboo hat, stuffed the books into his arms, and said to Cheng Yun and others: "The rain probably won't stop for a while, so we don't want to go to the county town today."
Cheng Yun nodded: "I understand, Dad, please be careful on the road."
Lingbao said worriedly: "Dad, be careful not to fall down on the road. Some roads are very slippery!"
After all the words of concern were expressed by his eldest brother and sister, Cheng Yi had no choice but to find a stick and give it to his father and said: "Dad, take it, you can use it to hold yourself up if you fall!"
Cheng Zhongqian: "..."
Cheng Zhongqian took the stick and played its first role - beating his son!
Cheng Yi hugged himself helplessly and looked at his father's back walking into the rain with aggrieved eyes. He also provided another way of caring!
Cheng Zhongqian held the book in his arms and walked in the hazy rain and fog. The dirt roads in the countryside became very muddy when it rained.
It was only then that Cheng Zhongqian realized that stepping into the mud when he first entered the city was nothing. It was the same as walking in the mud. Now he was even more annoyed?
The rain was very cold, and my feet were soaked and freezing.
Cheng Zhongqian was very irritable at first, but later he thought about it.
"Mencius Gaozi Xia" said that when Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his skin, deplete his body, and disturb his actions, so he will be tempted to endure.
He has benefited from what he could not do.
Cheng Zhongqian felt that this might be a little test given to him by God!
As long as he passes all the tests, he can successfully go to high school and return to the capital to see Baohui again!
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhongqian's eyes became firmer and his steps became firmer.
After seeing off Cheng Zhongqian, the diligent and studious Ling Bao originally planned to read for a while, but it was dark and Cheng Yi said it would be better to go back and sleep for a while.
Lingbao thought for a while, then climbed onto the bed consciously and lay in the middle. There was an older brother on the left and an older brother on the right. It was so reassuring!
After sleeping for more than half an hour, the rain gradually subsided, with only two occasional ticks, which could almost be ignored.
Ling Bao couldn't sleep anymore, so he and Cheng Yun sat under the eaves and read a book together. The little energy of hard work was so powerful!
Cheng Yi crossed his legs and was still biting in the air, unable to understand: "Ling Bao, what's so interesting about this book?"
"It's very interesting." Ling Bao turned around and said, "Second brother, come and read a book. The day's plan starts in the morning, we can't waste it."
"No, it's too boring."
"But there is no harm in reading more books." Ling Bao said seriously, "Second brother, if you don't study, you won't be able to understand anything you encounter in the future."
Cheng Yi swayed on his toes and asked suspiciously: "Really? You're not bluffing me, are you?"
"No!" Ling Bao pouted unhappily, "The king said that if the human brain is not used regularly, it will get rusty!"
Cheng Yi had an expression on his face that said "You are really bluffing me" and said smoothly: "The brain is not an iron tool, how can it rust?"
Cheng Yun interjected without raising his head: "I'm so stupid that I can't even understand that this is just a metaphor."
Cheng Yi: "..."
Ling Bao ran over and touched his head sadly: "Your Majesty, what should I do if my brain is rusty?"
The king meowed: "Have you become a real fool?"
Ling Bao's face turned into a bitter melon. She held Cheng Yi's hand and said sincerely: "Second brother, don't worry, even if you become a fool, I will not abandon you."
She patted her little chest: "I support my second brother!"
Although Cheng Yi was touched that his sister had this kind of intention, what does it mean for a man to want his sister to support him?!
Cheng Yi had a sense of crisis, fearing that he would really become a fool, so he got up resolutely and said: "I want to read a book!"
I promise not to be a fool!
Lingbao said happily: "Second brother, come quickly and let's watch together!"
There are limited books at home, so the three siblings can only read one book together.
When he met someone who didn't understand, Cheng Yun would explain something to them. If he didn't understand it, he would write it down and wait for Cheng Zhongqian to come back and ask again.
The king looked around and felt that he could not be left behind, so he jumped onto Ling Bao's lap and stretched his head to take a look.
Han Xiaozhuang and others who came to play with Cheng Yi did not dare to speak when they saw this scene.
