Going further, I saw groups of people walking up and down the hillside, all carrying something on their shoulders. When I walked in and took a look, it turned out to be charcoal.
Old Wutou only took one look at it, then turned to Xu Da and said: "Sir, this charcoal burns beautifully. It is neat and well-proportioned in size. It looks easy to burn at first glance."
Xu Da then thought of the guards who were warming themselves by the fire in the hut before entering the village, and suddenly realized clearly that his family was richer than he had imagined.
Walking through the hillside, you can see the steaming arsenal in the southeast corner. There are really many talents there. Those who move bricks, those who beat grout, those who stir, those who make iron... it is very lively.
But now there is no time to pass. Xu Da is eager to return home. He just wants to rush to his new home to see what the mother-in-law and children have done in the past four months since he was away. They actually let this small manor live.
Such changes.
But before he could reach the gate of the house, the crisp sound of children reading could be heard.
"Goose and goose, singing to the sky, white hair floating on the green water, anthurium stirring the clear waves..."
"Hiss~" Xu Da took a breath of air. Is this a poem? The rhythm is neat, but the dialogue is a bit weird.
However, it sounds weird.
He Zeng, an old man like him, couldn't help but praise: "It sounds great! This song is so beautifully sung!"
Xu Da rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, is this Qu'er? Is this Qu!
They are clearly reciting poetry!
"Dang Dang Dang! Dang Dang Dang! Dang Dang Dang!"
A regular sound of gold and stone knocking sounded outside the school, and then a clear girl's voice was heard shouting:
"get out of class is over!"
Among the children, a boy stood up first and shouted: "Stand up!"
Hearing this order, the remaining children all stood up, bowed to the girl in front of the case and said:
"Teacher, please take a rest—!"
The girl nodded and walked out of the classroom with the lesson plan in hand.
When the girl walked away, the students cheered and rushed to the room opposite with the word "canteen" written on it, queuing up to receive meals.
The number of chickens and ducks raised by Wang Youliang has expanded to three to four hundred, and they are laying eggs every day. Today's lunch in the school is one egg per person, plus a bowl of solid whole-grain rice, and bean sprouts and minced meat soup.
The craftsmanship of the two cafeteria ladies is quite good, and the simple dishes also have a hot and fresh aroma.
Because we had dinner at Gongsun Yan's house in the morning, He Zeng didn't dare to open his belly to eat, so he only ate six cents full.
Now that I smell this smell, my mouth is watering down.
There were not many children, only twenty. When the boy who had been called to stand up came to the queue, the cafeteria lady specially gave him an extra large chicken leg that was marinated in oil and was delicious.
"You got first place in the monthly exam. This is a reward from Miss Youniang. You can get an extra chicken drumstick for lunch tomorrow and the day after."
Hearing what the cafeteria lady said, the children cried with envy.
A girl who ranked second in the monthly exam looked at the big chicken drumstick in the monitor's bowl, swallowed hard, and secretly made up her mind that she must surpass the monitor in the next monthly exam!
He Zeng sucked the saliva in again and urged: "Master, let's go home, we are hungry."
Xu Da looked at the sun, then glanced at the big fat chicken drumsticks in the squad leader's bowl. His stomach had been ravaged by the poor food in Gongsun Zan's house for four months, and he screamed secretly.
Just as he was about to walk to the house, a surprised "Daddy!" sounded. Before Xu Da could see clearly, a small cannonball rushed over.
"Dad!" Xu Yue shouted in surprise, jumped hard, and landed on the young man.
Xu Da was startled at first, and then felt soft in his heart. He supported the little man on his body and asked funnyly:
"Young girls are now teachers?"
Xu Yue chuckled and turned to look behind her father. There were five carriages and horses. Except for the first one with people in it, the ones behind were all filled with wooden boxes.
There were also ten strange guards, who looked completely different from when they left.
I think a lot of changes must have taken place in these four months.
"Dad, you are two months later than you said before." Xu Yue teased.
"The son doesn't talk to the father. It's been a long time since we last seen each other. It's getting more and more unruly!" Xu Da angrily bumped his forehead against his daughter's little face that was making fun of him, and strode into the house while carrying her on his back.
Xu Yue was carried upside down on her father's shoulders, screaming, attracting Xu Erniang, Xu Dalang and others in the courtyard.
When Leng Buding saw Xu Da, they were both stunned.
"Brother and sister, save me!" Xu Yue stretched out her hand and shouted loudly.
Xu Dalang reacted immediately and rushed forward. Xu Dalang didn't even see his movements clearly, his hands were numb, and Xu Yue had already been snatched away.
Xu Yue was put down by her brother, looked at her stunned father, and couldn't help laughing.
Xu Erniang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
When Mrs. Wang arrived, Xu Yue and Xu Erniang had already gone to the kitchen to make noodles for their father and others.
Xu Dalang leaned against the door, looking at the boxes that were brought in, and looking at the ten guards with his wolf-like eyes. He only looked at each other so much that he wanted to draw his sword, and then he sighed lightly and gave up.
"The noodles are ready!" Xu Yue came out steadily holding a tray with five bowls of noodles inside.
Seeing He Zeng and Lao Wutou who were looking over eagerly, he said to them again: "Yours have been cooked too, and they are all in the kitchen. Come over and eat, you have enough."
The latter sentence, "It's enough" was said to He Zeng. He Zeng, who had been staying outside and hadn't eaten anything for a long time, felt warm in his heart. He grinned at Xu Yue and ran towards the kitchen in a hurry.
Old Wutou was thoughtful and asked the ten guards to go to the kitchen together to find food.
Ah San was already serving noodles in the kitchen. The large blue and white porcelain bowl was full. A few slices of soy sauce meat were placed on the oily soup, and a handful of tender bean sprouts were added, and a handful of chives were sprinkled. The green and white color was very appetizing.
Big move.
Even the diners working under Gongsun Zan did not often eat such exquisite delicacies.
When I was out fighting, I kept everything simple. I couldn't remember the last time I had a sip of hot soup.
The tall, bear-like man's eyes immediately turned red, and he looked in the direction of the room and said with emotion, "Young lady treats me best!"
The ten guards who followed Lao Wutou looked at the sauced pork noodles served by Ah San with surprised expressions in their eyes.
The people in the Xu family eat the same food as their master?
Ah San saw the expressions of the few people in his eyes and said nothing, but he thought proudly in his heart that the master never regarded the slaves as slaves. As long as they worked hard, they could earn whatever they wanted through labor.
Ah San brought the prepared noodles to He Zeng and Lao Wutou, and called ten guards to come over and serve them himself.
"Eat as much as you want. It's best not to leave any leftovers. Miss doesn't like waste." Ah San warned seriously.
The ten guards nodded. At this age, there was no chance for people to waste food. They always ate it all.
Looking at Lao Wutou and He Zeng who had already eaten, the ten of them also let go and picked up bowls of noodles and meat.
For a moment, there was only the sound of eating noodles in the kitchen.
