The meal was gone after a short time. After all, there was a holiday the next day and I had to go home early to rest.
The Wang family and the Xu family stayed and prepared to help Cheng Xue clean up. Before they could start, Yu Niang came over with her two daughters.
Li Heng leashed the dog and opened the courtyard door. The three women walked up to Cheng Xue and bowed down.
"Mrs."
"Didn't I tell you to have a good rest and not come over?"
"Go back to Madam, it's time to rest." Yu Niang replied with a naive smile, and took the bowl and chopsticks over.
After asking about the specific location of the house, I took my two daughters to clean it up in an orderly manner.
Mian Ni wanted to step forward to help, but Li Yue stopped her and declined with a chuckle:
"Yunni is already sleepy, take her back to sleep quickly."
These are all guests, how can we let them help?
When Cheng Xue saw this, she also spoke out:
"We're not chasing the big guys. Everyone in the family should go back and rest quickly. Brother Dake and Third Brother, please take your sister-in-law and children home. Yu Zhao, take your uncle and aunt back. Yingjie's eyelids are all gone." Li Tian and Li Huai were still struggling here, while Yan Yixin and Li Yue hugged each other and went straight into the house.
Xu and Yang were not able to make the decision, and Dong Cheng and Guo Dake were also embarrassed. But when they saw the look in Li Hui's direction, they smiled and nodded.
"Okay, let's go back first. Let's harvest Brother Xin's thirty acres of land first. We'll start after the festival."
"Then don't worry. Brother Dake and sister-in-law will make their own arrangements. The family's ox cart will be here to pick it up at any time." Cheng Xue said as she sent them off.
The three ladies worked very quickly and had everything sorted out within an hour.
Yuniang walked up to Cheng Xue, knelt down and saluted, and said:
"Madam, what time does the family have breakfast?"
"Three meals at home. The master and the young masters will go out to exercise in the early morning. You can arrange the time by yourself. Just have a simple breakfast, but remember that everyone eats eggs every morning. Let your two boys do morning exercises on time. The master will find it for them.
Wu Fuzi."
"Yes." Yu Niang saluted again and took her two daughters away.
Yu Huai's family followed suit and left. Cheng Xue hung the door and then remembered the water boiled in the west room.
When I opened the door, there was smoke and the water was boiling.
I hurriedly went back to the house, took out the clothes I had made, and went to the study to call Xiao Qinglin.
When he saw the clothes handed over, he instinctively took two steps back and shook his head.
"If you're not old enough, why would my sister-in-law make clothes for me?"
You can't do this. With his brother's temper, if you take it, why don't you goad him to death? He's so jealous!
Li Hui stood up and came over, stuffed the clothes into him and said:
"I need so much material from you, but your sister-in-law can't make you a few clothes? Besides, you bought all the meat today, and we asked Guo Dake and Dong Cheng..."
"Oh, my dear brother, don't say that, it will distract you from each other." Xiao Qinglin said as he opened his clothes.
There are two pieces in total. They look like Taoist robes, loose and loose, but the sleeves are not that wide.
"Your brother doesn't like to wear robes, but it's still very comfortable to put on after bathing. I changed the cuffs to make them like this. You can change your clothes after bathing and it will be more comfortable to wear." p>
In addition to cooking every day in Fucheng, I do two things in my free time, one is reading medical books, and the other is making clothes.
She thought it was uncomfortable to wear middle clothes to sleep at night, so she started thinking about pajamas, and she really figured it out.
Xiao Qinglin saw that Li Hui knew about it, so he took his clothes and went to the west room to take a bath.
After he left, Li Hui took Cheng Xue to discuss setting the table.
In the north, the most common tables are 28 or 38 tables, and there are also 66 tables, but thirty dishes are really unnecessary.
Cheng Xue thought for a while and decided to set up thirty-eight tables. Eight cold, eight hot and eight large bowls, it was really a good meal.
"If it's three or eight seats, the dishes will have to be more meaty." Li Hui reminded softly.
Cheng Xue understood what he meant, nodded and said:
"That's no problem. Just go to the town and order a pig, and buy a pair of guts and a pig's head. You don't need to buy chickens. They are ready-made in the backyard. The old hens we raised at the beginning didn't like laying eggs anymore, so they were slaughtered directly.
For fish, we use river carps, which are bigger, so that everyone can eat enough..."
Li Hui wrote down each word on the paper. After she finished speaking, she looked at the menu on the paper, picked and picked, and finally settled on the dish.
After Li Hui copied and dried the ink, he looked at her and said:
"You don't need to hold the spoon, you are not allowed to do the work, you just give instructions from the side."
Cheng Xue "Pfft--" chuckled and said, "Yeah":
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But there's one thing you have to listen to me. When you go to Fucheng to study this time, take Yan Yixin and not Li Heng. He will take the college exam next year and study with Mr. Pang for a year. He may not take the provincial exam next year.
It's okay. I forgot to tell you that Zhou Fei's wife came to our house that day..."
After explaining the scientific examination reform, Li Hui thought for a moment and asked worriedly:
"Is it okay for you to take care of the children at home? With Brother Xin here, the people in the village will be more cautious."
"Now that I am the wife of Juren, aren't the villagers afraid of me? Don't worry, I can handle it!"
"Okay, if anything happens, send Li Zhong to Fucheng to find me."
"Follow your orders, Li Juren!"
Oh, you know how to make fun of me?
"How about Li Juren tell you something? Should we..."
"Sister-in-law, this dress is nice, comfortable and warm."
After Xiao Qinglin finished speaking, his hair naturally hung down on the back of his head, but it stopped dripping. He walked up to Cheng Xue and walked around——
"The size is just right, sister-in-law, your hands are so skillful."
Cheng Xue looked at the silly child, looked around with a smile, tilted her head and looked at Li Hui and asked:
"How's it going, Li Juren, doesn't it look good?"
What a good looking der!
Li Hui bit his back molars, squeezed out the word "um" from between his teeth, and said:
"Qing Lin, come here and stay up late with me for a while. I have a few questions for you. Wife, go back to sleep."
"Okay, Li Juren." Cheng Xue teased him, not forgetting to wink at him before leaving.
Now the two of them are tacitly understanding each other, but every time they want to mention it, they are interrupted. Good times are really rare, and good things are hard to come by!
Seeing that the lights in Li Heng's house were not turned off, he knocked on the door and waited for the door to open. When he entered the house, he didn't mince words and directly talked about the matter of letting Yan Yixin go to Fucheng. However, he did not mention the reform of the scientific examination.
Li Heng originally felt that he shouldn't go, but now that his mother mentioned it, he naturally fully agreed.
"Brother, listen to my mother. Just go to Fucheng with your father, and it will be enough for me to study in the village school. Master Xin taught well, and I learned enough."
"But..."
"Brother Xin, I know your worries, but you have to trust Auntie. Auntie is an adult and has gone to school. She has experience in dealing with village women who take advantage. There is really no need for you to delay yourself over such a trivial matter. Auntie and your uncle, right
You have high expectations."
Last time it was Li Hui who delivered the message, this time it was her.
Yan Yixin has a delicate heart, so she naturally knows to cherish the opportunity twice in a row.
"Yes, aunt, I will definitely live up to your expectations and my uncle's."
