Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields
Chapter 114: godbrotherAt sunset, the sky was dyed red by the sunset glow, and every household smoked from cooking, dyeing the sky above Lucheng into a vast expanse.
Li Haitang and Zhang Ruyi separated as master and servant. When she returned home, she was surprised to see her younger brother Li Jinhu descending the mountain.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, Li Jinhu grew taller, with a serious face. When he saw Li Haitang, he froze for a moment, and called, "Sister."
"It's not that Lushan Academy can only go down the mountain once in three months, why are you back?"
Li Haitang was very happy to see his little brother, and pulled him to look left and right to make sure that he hadn't lost weight during this time, so he felt relieved.
Li Jinhu often eats with Sixi, and his appetite gradually increases, and when he studies at night, Sixi can always get something to eat, such as noodle soup, cakes, and even roasted birds. He eats deliciously at night. He has a good appetite and is more energetic than before The head is better.
"Sister, I have to stay at home for about two or three days."
It has snowed one after another in the past few days. Some houses in Lushan Academy have been in disrepair for a long time. There are large gaps in the walls. They collapsed last night, and two scholars were injured.
The academy decided to send people to repair the house and send the students who live nearby down the mountain. As for when to go back, we will wait for the academy's notice.
"Sister, I have read all the travel notes you bought for me."
Li Jinhu's eyes were bright, and he felt that his sister was very insightful. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. If he has the opportunity in the future, he really wants to go out and see the world.
Taught by the master in the academy, he can infer other things from one instance, and reading is effortless, and in the next year or two, he will be able to come back as a child.
"Academy is definitely not more comfortable than living at home. Now that I'm back, it's okay to relax for two days."
There is a small room in the kitchen, where several people eat on weekdays. There is a stove and water in it, and it is very convenient to pick up dishes and chopsticks.
As soon as Sixi came back, Aunt Chen was afraid that there would not be enough food for the family, so she improvised making noodles and made a big pot of hand-rolled noodles.
There are not many kinds of winter vegetables in the Northland. Every household has radishes, cabbage and potatoes. To eat hot pot, Li Haitang specially asked a blacksmith to customize a mandarin duck pot. On the left is a spicy soup base, and on the right is a thick seafood soup base, which is used to rinse vegetables. and seafood.
There are only two siblings in the family, so they don't pay attention to it. Li Haitang and the Chen family are used to eating together, so they all serve the table, and the hot pot is lively.
The beef was marinated and put into the spicy soup base. Li Haitang used a small colander to keep picking up vegetables for Li Jinhu.
"Sister, when will brother-in-law come back?"
Next month will be the end of the year, and there are many chores for the New Year, and there are a lot of things to buy at home. There are also two siblings who have to go back to their hometowns to pay homage to their deceased parents.
"almost?"
After Xiao Lingchuan left, he didn't leave a message, but it gave people the impression that he was an upright man, if he didn't speak, he would do it.
He promised Li Haitang to come back for the New Year, and prepare the New Year's goods together, at most one month, he will definitely come back.
Li Haitang pretended not to care, but he was counting the days in his heart, and he didn't know how he was doing, whether he ate on time.
"By the way, I want to go to the bookstore tomorrow."
When it comes to travel notes, Li Jinhu talked eloquently. Some of their classmates went to the barbarians, and they couldn't get sick after returning.
The barbarians were too scary. The raw meat was not cooked at all, and it was eaten directly with seasoning, which scared him a lot.
Every place has unique eating habits, such as sashimi and sashimi that modern people often eat, but Li Haitang can't accept it.
There is no way, the doctors are a little picky about cleanliness, and the first consideration is whether there will be some kind of parasites in it if it is eaten raw.
"Bookstore?"
Li Haitang was chewing the squid, when she heard the words cough twice, she covered her mouth with her hands and almost spit it out.
"Haitang, is it too hot?"
The chili in the hot pot is the Chaotian pepper newly bought by Aunt Chen. It is very spicy, but after eating it, the whole body is hot and sweaty, and the whole body is comfortable. It is most suitable for cold weather.
"I'll take a sip of wine, press it."
The family bought mountain wine and plum wine. The wine has a low alcohol content, which is similar to fruit juice. Both children, Da Ya and Goudan, love to drink it.
Li Haitang took a sip, saw that everyone at the table was looking at her, and said perfunctorily, "I just got a pepper in my throat and choked on it."
Bookstore, go to the bookstore! Li Haitang was dizzy, thinking about what happened to him last time, his expression was not very good.
My younger brother is still a minor, he will only be ten years old after the new year, so he can't be spoiled by the guys, right?
The enlightenment in that aspect should not come from her as a sister. Li Haitang decided to blame her savage husband, but Xiao Lingchuan might not understand.
"I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will take you out for a walk."
After the meal, Li Haitang brought back his younger brother and presented him with a set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone that he got from Zhang Ruyi.
In the matter of studying, talent requires hard work, and Li Haitang can't help, but she can do logistics and provide the best environment for the younger brother.
"Sister, I don't need anything on the mountain, but the students are more fond of books, I think it's not easy to borrow books."
Li Jinhu gradually integrated into it, and his life began to live like a fish in water. He occasionally practiced big characters and needed several different types of brushes.
"Our family is not short of that little money."
Li Haitang patted his chest, talked about how he treated Zhang Ruyi, added fuel and jealousy, and boasted.
On the beam in the inner room, Zhang Zheng shook his goosebumps. This little lady just had a recipe in her hand, so she boasted that she was a miracle doctor!
As for the so-called hemorrhoids, it was simply nonsense. Zhang Zheng cheated him of a lot of money for the consultation fee. Zhang Zheng didn't care about it because of his daughter's face!
"What are you talking about, are you still in prison?"
Li Jinhu rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that he was on the mountain, and there were so many things happening at home. The siblings were unwilling to cause trouble to each other.
Fortunately, now that it's over, it's a joke to mention it.
"Forget it, it's still on death row."
Li Haitang hugged her shoulders and stayed in the cold that night. If she hadn't been in good health, she would have suffered a serious illness. She took the opportunity to educate her little brother, "See, the importance of power comes out at this time, that dog official, Anyone who wants to be arrested!"
If the people don't fight with the officials, a nine-rank sesame official can decide the life and death of ordinary people, not to mention the magistrate who governs a city, who cares about people's lives according to his name, where can he resist?
"What about the court order?"
Li Jinhu was very upset. He didn't expect his sister to bear the grievances alone. He was deeply touched. He studied and achieved success in order to better protect his family, and he only had such a relative.
"Imperial certificate?"
Li Haitang patted Li Jinhu's head, little boy, the idea is simple. Leaving aside the question of traveling from the north to the capital, whether there is such a trouble, that is, how can I meet the officials of the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment when I really arrive in the capital?
In the story book, someone was lucky, but the actual situation is that, when blocking sedan chairs and carriages in the street, they were either beaten to death with sticks or trampled to death by horseshoes.
"It's hard to get a precious son from a poor family, little brother, we will definitely go to the capital for a visit in the future."
Li Haitang felt that his siblings were very lucky, at least their mothers were of unusual status, so grandparents could take care of them no matter what. If you are unlucky, you will be kicked out at most, it doesn't matter, why not?
