When Qian Sanniang came to look for Qian Xiaoniu, she found that the dumplings prepared by the two had been steamed.
The two people, one big and one small, were looking eagerly at the stove, as if they were about to eat.
Qian Sanniang made Qian Sanniang laugh when she came in. She didn't expect the village chief to have such a side.
Zhou Qing, who was exposed to the fact that he was a foodie, was somewhat embarrassed and talked quickly to ease his embarrassment.
"Aunt Qian, the vegetables have been planted today. The girl helped me a lot just now. You can eat at my place today."
He sent an invitation to Qian Sanniang for dinner.
When she lifted the lid, Qian Sanniang had already seen the food prepared by Zhou Qing. They were small bulging dumplings made of white flour. How dare Qian Sanniang take advantage of Zhou Qing in vain.
He quickly declined, "No, village chief, I have food at home. My little girl and I can just go back and eat."
Qian Xiaoniu was still smacking her lips with it. She was obviously very greedy, but she still listened to her words and nodded in agreement, but she never took her eyes away from the stove.
Not to mention how painful it was to fall into Zhou Qing's eyes.
Now that the invitation was sent, Zhou Qing naturally wanted a reason, but he didn't give anyone a chance to refuse. He pretended to be worried and said: "I thought, aunt, you would stay and eat together. I have done too much with the girl. If
If you can’t finish it, the weather will spoil it easily.”
Seeing that Qian Sanniang looked a little relaxed, she kept saying: "It doesn't contain anything good, it's just wild vegetables, not valuable."
This sentence persuaded Qian Sanniang and stayed with Qian Xiaoniu.
The three of them had a meal of dumplings together.
Although it is just a simple wild vegetable dumpling, I don’t know how Zhou Qing made it. Not only does it not have the astringent taste of wild vegetables, it is also extraordinarily fragrant and has a bit more oily flavor.
One bite at a time, I couldn't stop at all. Qian Xiaoniu was small but had a big appetite. She ate six of them before reluctantly putting down her chopsticks.
He just watched his own milk being eaten longingly.
This prompted the two of them to touch her little head.
After being touched, the little girl protected her scanty hair with her little hands and a silly smile on her face.
Qian Sanniang did not forget to praise: "Village chief, I didn't expect a man to have such good skills. These dumplings taste really good. They are better than the ones we made with meat before."
Zhou Qing knew that Qian Sanniang was exaggerating. Although she was skilled in cooking, it was impossible for her to taste better than meat. Thinking of meat, woo hoo, she wanted to eat meat too.
Even though he had just eaten, Zhou Qing was still hungry, mainly for meat.
On the face, he still said quite modestly: "I am just one person. I have enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. Isn't this how I develop my skills?"
"It's not easy for you to be alone for so many years." Qian Sanniang sighed and suddenly fell into silence, seeming to be lost in her own thoughts.
Zhou Qing guessed that he was remembering the past.
Fortunately, Qian Sanniang didn't let herself be distracted for too long. She came back to her senses soon and apologized with a smile: "Look at me, I got distracted while talking."
"It's getting late. I'll take the girl back first and then send her over tomorrow."
"Hey, okay aunt, walk slowly and be careful." Zhou Qing sent the person out the door.
Zhou Qing was left alone, thinking that the children would be here tomorrow. Fortunately, she had successively bought a lot of things for the family these days.
I also asked Uncle Qing, who had some carpentry skills in the village, to build some small stools and a blackboard.
It's all preparation for tomorrow.
The next day, Zhou Qing's biological clock woke her up early.
Zhou Qing, who thought it was still early, opened the door and found that there were many people standing outside.
They are all families with children in Dahe Village.
They were followed by their children.
Seeing Zhou Qing open the door, those people all smiled at Zhou Qing to please him.
Zhou Qing was stunned. He didn't expect to come so early. He hurriedly opened the door and asked, "Why are you here so early? Have you had dinner?"
I took a focused look at the children and found that except for the older ones like Shitou Tiedan and the others, there were children as small as Qian Xiaoniu, whose heads were still a little bit wet. They were obviously not full of sleep and were still sleepy.
At first glance, it was obvious that his parents had forced him out of bed.
Thinking of the elementary school students who were forced to get up in the short video of his previous life, Zhou Qing suddenly felt a little sympathy for these children.
She didn't realize at all that she was the culprit who kept the children from sleeping in.
When the parents, headed by Shitou, heard Zhou Qing's words, they realized that they had come too early. Looking at the village chief, he seemed to have just gotten up.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn't guess where he was, and said seriously: "There is no need to send the child here so early. You can let the child have breakfast at home. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he is hungry after half of the lesson."
After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I was not thoughtful enough and forgot to set a time with them.
"Just send the children over at Chenshi tomorrow morning. Especially if they are as young as Xiaoniu, they will not grow taller if they don't get enough sleep." Zhou Qing deliberately lowered his body and rubbed the children's heads.
"Hey, okay, we've written it down."
This time everyone has already arrived, so Zhou Qing will naturally not let them send the child back again.
So he asked them to keep their children.
There were seven children in total. Except for Qian Xiaoniu, a girl, the others were all boys.
Among them, Shitou Tiedan is the oldest, almost ten years old, and there are two eight-year-olds, one named Dabao and the other named Erbao, they are two brothers, full brothers.
There are two others who are over 7 years old, namely Zhang Chengxuan and Zhang Nianen.
These two are not biological brothers, but they are still relatives in the family.
At the same time, it can also be seen that the names Zhang Chengxuan and Zhang Nianen are people who have been favored by the family at first glance, and they are not on the same level as Shitou Tiedan.
So after the children got together, the first thing Zhou Qing did was to give the children names.
The children were very interested in this matter, although they didn't think there was anything wrong with their names, after all, they were called like that in the village.
But who doesn’t want a nice name, especially after hearing the names of Zhang Chengxuan and Zhang Nianen, their names are obviously better.
So everyone looked at Zhou Qing with bright eyes.
Full of expectations.
This put Zhou Qing under great pressure, and for a time he felt that his decision was too hasty.
But I still can't bear to let the children down.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Stone, your parents gave you the nickname Shitou. They probably want you to be as strong as Stone, so I named you Lei and Zhang Lei. The three stones are stacked on top of each other."
When Shitou, that is, Zhang Lei, heard this, his eyes were several times brighter than before. He muttered his new name, Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei, and it sounded really good.
Moreover, the village chief was the first to name him, so he must have liked him the most. Thinking of his father's instructions to him before coming here, telling him to be obedient and to please the village chief, Shitou felt that he had done it perfectly, and even the corners of his mouth were filled with laughter.
