On the official road in the first month, there are no horse-drawn carriages at all, and even pedestrians on the road rarely meet.
Most students who are rushing to take the exam will choose to go to Beijing after the first month of the year when the spring flowers are blooming. It will be warm then and they will not suffer.
Li Hui and the others traveled very slowly. They basically set off at 6 o'clock every day and entered the city at the same time to ensure adequate sleep and rest. There was no coachman, so Li Hui, Wen Tian, and Tian Dong took shifts to drive the coach. The charcoal stove on the car was used from
When the fire continued, Bai Shao and Bai Zhi each took charge of one car, boiling ginger water for the driver and those riding in the car to ward off the cold.
Let's simply prepare three meals a day in the car except for lunch. Cheng Xue will take Li Yue and Bai Shao sisters to cook together in the morning and evening.
In the morning, I have porridge, side dishes, and meat buns, and in the evening, I have six dishes and one soup, including meat and fish, which is nutritionally balanced.
Cheng Xue would check Mr. Pang's pulse twice a day, morning and evening, and treat him if he was ill.
"Oh, I'm fine. There's no need to check my pulse. You can go back to the house and rest. If I feel really uncomfortable, I'll tell you. I won't hide it."
"I came to you to practice my skills, just do me a favor."
"You." Mr. Pang knew he couldn't hide, so he stretched out his hand to cooperate.
This kind of dialogue happens twice a day. It is estimated that in a few days, Mr. Pang will not talk about it anymore.
The pulse was stable and there was nothing unusual. Cheng Xue retracted her hand with confidence and said:
"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and we can enter Tuoyang County before the end of the day. What do you want to eat? Can you order a couple of dishes?"
"Is the Lantern Festival okay? Don't eat too much, just have fun."
At his age, he should eat less sticky and hard food. But the more he is not allowed to eat, the more greedy he becomes. There is only one Lantern Festival every year, and he really wants to eat this.
Cheng Xue nodded with a smile, gestured with three fingers, and said:
"Can I take three pills?"
"Okay." Mr. Pang stopped when he saw the good news, smiling like a child.
Originally, he wanted to do something and take them to a restaurant for a meal. After all, he had troubled others for so long. But after thinking about it, he decided to give it up. After all, the inn is a place belonging to the imperial court. The guards and waiters are all recorded in the book, so it is safe. But once they go out,
It won't work. If you encounter pickpockets or gangsters, it will be troublesome and waste time. They can reach the capital half a month in advance because they are not very fast, and there must be no mistakes.
"Mom, last time we were in Guyang County, Grandpa Pang ate a lot of sweet and sour fish. Can you do this?"
Seeing Li Heng eager to try, Cheng Xue smiled and said:
"It's up to you to eat it. You can do it if you can, but it's tough enough to make the taste that others have."
Her cooking skills are limited to home-cooked dishes. Home-cooked sweet and sour fish is fine, but making it taste like a master chef is really not good.
Mr. Pang chuckled "Haha..." and stroked his beard and said:
"You don't have to make it taste like others, just do what you usually make. I like to eat it, not my child, so don't talk about him."
"You, just get used to it."
After Cheng Xue finished speaking, she lightly poked Li Heng on the forehead, stood up and left.
Every time a group of them stayed at the inn, they asked for three rooms, and put the girls in the middle. There was still light in the kitchen, and I guess Sister Bai Shao hadn't finished cleaning up yet. They turned to the middle room, the door was not locked, and went in to see Li
While he was pregnant, three girls were doing embroidery work and hurriedly waved to him.
"Why did you come to this house?"
"Tell dad. I didn't make any trouble." Li Huai said as he threw himself into his mother's arms.
One year later, he is one year older, but as the youngest child in the family, he still likes to act coquettishly with his mother.
Pang Yao and Li Yue bit off the threads at the same time and folded the finished leather quilts.
"Mom, the three of us made these together. There are two pieces in total. The leather covers are wind-resistant. They are used by my father and others when driving the car."
Cheng Xue touched the quilt, which was very thick and obviously stuffed with a lot of cotton.
"Did Tiantian do it too?"
Li Tian said "hmm" heavily and nodded.
"I'm here to help with the threading. Am I good at it?"
"Awesome." Cheng Xue gently pinched the child's face with a doting look on her face.
The door of the house was opened, and the Bai Shao sisters came back. After Cheng Xue told them to "hang the door," she hugged Li Huai and took the quilt back to the next door.
Li Hui was reading a book when he saw his mother-in-law entering the house together. He frowned and said:
"You are three years old and you still let your mother hold you. Get up early and go out for a run with me tomorrow."
"Why run?"
"Because spring is about to begin, you have to strengthen your physical fitness."
"Why should we strengthen our physical fitness?"
"Because I will beat you when you are disobedient and ignorant, so I have to strengthen your physique first."
When Li Huai heard this explanation, he immediately stopped asking. He looked at his mother pitifully, with eyes full of asking for help. When it came to who loved him the most in the family, Cheng Xue would have to say second, and no one dared to say first. But this time she didn't
squeaking, especially when my father disciplines me.
"It's useless to look at your mother. If the child doesn't obey, you will be beaten."
"But I've always been obedient." Li Huai curled his lips unhappily.
Seeing this, Cheng Xue hurriedly asked Li Hui to explain:
"Your dad is taking precautions. What's more, it's great to be in good health and not get sick or take bitter medicine."
"That's not good!" Li Huai stared and said seriously, "If you are healthy, you will be beaten. I don't want to be beaten. Mother, I don't want to be beaten."
"I didn't say I'd beat you now, so lie down and go to sleep." Cheng Xue couldn't help laughing and coaxed the child to go to the kang for a while.
Boys have a lot of firepower and can easily get angry while sleeping on the kang.
"Mom, I want to sleep with you."
Without waiting for Cheng Xue to refuse, Li Hui directly scolded——
"How old are you when you can't sleep in your heart? This is outside. If you were at home, you would have left it with your brother. Your second sister is as old as you, so she sleeps in the same room as your eldest sister."
Li Huai didn't dare to say anything, but turning his back to his father was his last act of stubbornness...
……
There was no conversation all night. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Cheng Xue opened her eyes when she heard the door closing. There was no one around her. Li Hui actually took the child out for a run.
I yawned and sat up, putting on my morning dumplings while getting dressed.
In Liaodong, whenever it is a festival, dumplings must be made to make it look grand.
When she came to the kitchen, Li Yue, Bai Shao and others were already here. Li Heng and Yan Yixin each took a rolling pin and rolled out the dough.
"Mother."
"Auntie."
Several children called for help, and Cheng Xue responded with a smile, washed her hands and came over to make dumplings. There were many people, and they could make dumplings. Plus, they were on their way at noon, so they had to make some.
Cheng Xue took the girls to make dumplings together. With the strength of many people, they were able to wrap the dumplings very quickly once the curtain was covered.
When they reached the third curtain, Li Huai's resisting voice came from outside——
"No, no, if you don't want Mr. Wen to hold you, let Daddy hold you. Daddy, you are the best. I miss you the most, even more than I miss my mother."
Such careless words made several people in the kitchen chuckle.
"Hey~ I have such a bad temper, I have to hug you today."
"Ah - don't - help - mother, please help me -"
Li Huai's scream, which was almost like killing a pig, made several people who were originally laughing laugh heartily.
Everyone knows that the little boy is very playful and afraid of Wen Tian, but it is so interesting to be able to shout so exaggeratedly. Before Cheng Xue could go out, Mr. Pang came out of the house to stop him. Wen Tian still wanted to give the old man face, and lightly poked Li
