After a long meal of patience, the stuffed rice was finally cooked.
But no one dared to put the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhao Baozhu only dared to call Yunfei.
She saw him holding a book and reading with a look of admiration in his eyes. In her eyes, men like the original person were not an exception, but a common phenomenon in this era.
So at least now, she still doesn't think the original person is too much.
Rather, it was because my father admired scholars very much and wanted to find a son-in-law who was a scholar, so he had a filter on who he was.
Men who read and write are the most attractive.
"Ms. sir, the rice is ready."
"Yeah." Yun Fei put down the book, "Let's set out the dishes and chopsticks and bring them to the main room to eat. You can come too."
"Ah, when eating at this time, is it lunch or dinner?"
Is it possible that I will be hungry from now until tomorrow's lunch? It's terrible.
Touching his hungry belly, Zhao Baozhu felt that the child must be hungry.
Alas, it's just that the family is poor and can't feed him enough.
"Counting lunch."
Hearing this, she raised her head in surprise and happily went out to prepare the meal.
Knowing that this meal could be eaten in the main room, several women were a little nervous.
They sat upright in front of the dining table, not daring to fill the bowl with rice or holding chopsticks, but they filled Yunfei's bowl with rice.
If I hadn't learned how to cook in a wealthy family, I might still have to cook.
Yunfei didn't say anything.
He took away all the bowls, filled a bowl of soup for them one by one, and filled them with meat and vegetables.
Then he said softly: "Let's eat. After you drink the soup, you can serve the rice."
Two pounds of lean meat, cut into slices and cooked in soup, is quite a lot to eat in one meal.
At least the four women were very surprised and carefully picked up their bowls and ate.
That pitiful look made Yunfei, who usually only felt sorry for cubs, feel a little uncomfortable.
The person who does the most work is the least qualified to eat. Everything stems from that damn head tax.
After all, in this era, it is difficult for women to make money no matter how hard they work. Those like Zhang Dujuan who can go out and move goods actually suffer a lot of rumors.
After all, if a woman hangs out on a pier full of men, who wouldn't say something pornographic?
It's both disgusting and despising.
And if you can't pay taxes, your family will have to pay them, so you are always inferior to others. Even if you don't give them food, you don't dare to say a word.
After all, if you don't pay taxes, you will be exiled.
…………
After finishing the soup, they didn't dare to fill the bowl with rice, but Yunfei filled the bowl for them.
"Ugh~~" As he was eating, Du Qingliu suddenly couldn't hold it back, covered his mouth and ran outside.
Zhao Baozhu felt regretful as she looked at it. After finally having a good meal, Sister Du couldn't keep her.
Seeing Du Qingliu vomiting, Du Juan's stomach felt a little queasy, but he covered his mouth tightly to suppress the acid reflux.
When she came back from vomiting, her face became paler again.
Yunfei took her pulse and checked, "Are you born with a deficiency?"
Du Qingliu's other hand clenched instantly. This was the reason why she couldn't get married.
Even if you have a scholar father, you can't get married.
Because her father is famous, it is impossible to be a concubine for a farmer. If she is not good enough, she will be left.
She was born prematurely because of her congenital disadvantages. If her mother had not saved her, she would have been thrown away when she was young.
For so many years, she and her mother only said that she was physically weak, but they never told anyone that she was a symptom of a congenital deficiency.
After all, women who give birth prematurely will basically have a narrow escape from death when they give birth to children in the future.
They have to be carefully raised at ordinary times. It's okay to be born in a rich family. Who can afford it in such a poor and remote place?
So after being exposed at this moment, her whole body was on the verge of collapse.
If she is divorced, what is waiting for her is either a white silk silk or a pig cage. In short, her father will not let her live.
She knelt on the ground with a thud and begged: "Husband, I don't need to see a doctor. I don't have any medical treatment. Please don't divorce me."
There were tears on her delicate little face, which gave her a rather pitiful beauty.
It turns out that none of these three ladies are outstanding in appearance, but they are not ugly either, just a bit ordinary.
It's still very interesting after watching it for a long time.
A five-point beauty, if you dress it up and take care of yourself, you can get a seven-eighth point.
Yunfei helped her up, "Why are you panicking? I didn't say I wanted to divorce you.
If you are pregnant, don't just kneel down and eat. You just vomited. See if you can eat a little.
If you guys want to eat anything, just tell me and I'll buy it. I'll go to Master San's house tomorrow to buy a chicken and stew it for you."
"Really...really?" Zhao Baozhu couldn't hold it back and almost drooled.
In fact, she has had a big appetite since she was a child, but she has never been full.
Occasionally, her mother would try to find some food for her, and she would also try to find some food herself, but her father would never give her more.
She herself couldn't understand why she still grew so fat even though she didn't eat enough, and she was getting fatter day by day.
In order to lose weight, her mother forced her to work non-stop for a while without giving her food to eat. In the end, she didn't lose weight, but she fainted from hunger.
"real."
Yunfei didn't mean to get angry, and Du Qingliu's tense heartstrings relaxed.
Picking up the bowls and chopsticks, I ate some food that I didn’t know how to taste, and it was hard to eat food at ordinary times.
After they finished eating, he made arrangements so that they were not allowed to do heavy work in the afternoon and could only clean up at home, and then returned to the study.
I diligently use my time to grow pears, loquats, and medicinal herbs.
Because Du Qingliu is pregnant, it is best not to take medicine at this stage. You can boil some pear and give it to her to drink to relieve her cough.
As for loquats and medicinal herbs, they can be used after the baby is born, and they can be used to prepare medicine for her at that time. At this stage, it is better to focus on health care.
Thinking that they had a bad appetite at night, Yunfei took some sauerkraut from the space, fried some, and then cooked some white porridge for dinner.
After all, they didn't really know what he bought from the town.
Who dares to go through his backpack without permission?
The original sister Bai Guihua has always been quiet. She eats when she needs to eat, works when she needs to work, and goes back to her room to make bags when she has nothing to do. She doesn't talk much.
The land tax collectors came the next day.
This time, Yunfei paid it himself and did not let Zhao Baozhu pay for the makeup.
But she paid for the poll tax in September.
There are five people in the family, and they have two to five coins.
He didn't think he had much money, so he owed it before paying it back.
The next day, Yunfei woke up when he heard the sound of the door opening in the courtyard room.
When I went out, I saw that they were all up.
Du Qingliu is washing rice, Zhang Dujuan is fetching water, Zhao Baozhu is carrying firewood, and Bai Osmanthus is washing wild vegetables...
Smoke gradually rose from the roofs of people's kitchens in the village.
