Chapter 42 Nuobao is ordering food
As soon as these words came out, all the girls in the family were beaming with joy.
Although the girl could not pass the imperial examination, she could recognize a few words and understand a few sentences, and their parents were also happy.
Only Aunt Li was so angry that she was fuming, gritting her teeth and stamping her feet behind.
"Reading and knowing words is a blessing for boys. How can a man with long hair and little knowledge understand it!" "
Besides, women are dirty. Once they enter the school, they will ruin the student movement of the boys in our village and delay our literary talent from passing the imperial examination and becoming a high official. Can you please stop making trouble!" She jumped up and down and spat out two mouthfuls of thick phlegm.
Just at this time, Yang Tianmei came over.
She spat back rudely: "Women are dirty? Those guys all crawled out of women's bellies, aren't they even dirtier?"
"If Aunt Li thinks she's dirty, then quickly give your son Wencai to someone else to raise. With a mother like you who doesn't understand things, I'm afraid it's hard for him to become a prime minister!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately applauded Yang Tianmei.
"Aunt Jiang is generous, and the eldest sister of the Yang family is reasonable. The women in our village are no worse than men, so why is Aunt Li so cowardly?" Zhang Xiucai blushed and shouted. "
That's right, those who flirt with ladies are the most tasteless. Don't end up with a lady who ignores you and a son who is unfilial in the future!" Mrs. Liu snorted loudly.
Aunt Li blushed.
Her teeth were chattering, and she could only walk away dejectedly amidst a chorus of boos.
Feng was too lazy to bother with this filthy fellow, and the school was more important.
Thinking of the two large boxes of books at home, she said, "A village school cannot have only teachers but no books. It just so happens that I have a lot of good books at home. Once the school opens, I will give them to our village." This way
, we can save the good books from being wasted because there is not enough space at home.
The village chief was so excited that his face lit up: "Okay, then let your Fengmiao be the first to choose a seat. I won't let your family work in vain."
With Feng's lead, the villagers were united in mind. Knowing that it was for the good of the children, they were all willing to send some useful things to the school.
Mrs. Liu brought a few chairs.
Mr. Zhang's father made two wooden tables.
Yang Tianmei paid out of her own pocket and bought a lot of paper and ink.
Thinking about the need for a stove in the school, several villagers sent several baskets of firewood, which almost filled up a wall.
Soon, the school jointly run by the two villages was opened in the mill.
On the day when everyone sent their children there, they were all smiling. Some were reluctant to leave after sending their children there, and lay down in front of the window to listen.
Feng left the copybook for the young children to Nuobao, and picked out a few books for Fengjing to read. The rest were sent to the school, which attracted endless praise from the villagers.
In this happy village, the second house was so poor that it couldn't sleep.
Jiang Dahe thought Jiang Zhizhi was too noisy at home, and wanted to send her to school, but was rejected by Yang Tianmei.
Although it is said that the immorality of adults has nothing to do with children, Jiang Zhizhi has learned her father's ruffian temperament and often bullies the village. Children don't like to play with her.
Now she has become stupid and unreasonable. She picks up stones and throws them at other people's heads.
"If your child goes to school, how can others concentrate on studying?"
Yang Tianmei refused with reason.
But Jiang Dahe thought he was being targeted and turned the table over when he got home.
"The damn girl in the village chief's family has become more arrogant since she married a son-in-law. Does she want to be the village chief of our village after her father dies? A woman who is so restless should learn from the older generation to be put in a pig cage!" Old Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth and cursed viciously.
Jiang Dahe snorted coldly.
"Yang Tianmei is close to the third wife. Maybe she is helping the third wife to vent her anger."
Thinking of all the good books he had just seen, Jiang Dahe frowned: "Mother, how can the third wife have the conditions to send books to the school? Do you think that since her family had that little girl, our family has been getting more and more unlucky, but her family has been getting more and more prosperous."
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her legs almost straightened!
"Son, mother also thinks it's not right..."
Could it be that the third wife has seen through the tricks of the first wife and doesn't want to bear the bad luck for them?
This harmful third wife, why doesn't she just die!
"Mother, why don't we go find that Taoist priest again and let him take a look at us."
"Second brother, this matter cannot be delayed, let's go today!" Mrs. Jiang sat up from the kang with red eyes.
...
In the morning, Feng had just sent Feng Miao to school and came back to prepare lunch. It
was the coldest time of the winter, and it was a good time for farmers like them to stay at home.
So Feng spent the whole day feeding chickens and ducks, and thinking about what to cook to make her daughter-in-law eat well.
Sun Chunxue also came to help.
After working hard for more than half a month, she made some progress and her cooking was no longer choking.
"Mom, what are we going to eat for lunch today?"
Feng stared at the big pot in a daze, and couldn't think of it for a while.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of clams coming from the big basket next to the stove.
Feng went over to take a look, and saw that there was half a basin of clams, two fat lotus roots, and a handful of fresh green onion seedlings.
Her jaw dropped in surprise.
But she quickly put it back down.
What's so strange about that? This must be the lady "ordering dishes" from her.
Mrs. Feng glanced at the direction of the inner room and smiled tacitly.
She poured the clams into the pot to clean them, and asked Sun Chunxue to cut the green onions: "Mom has thought it through! For lunch, we will have fried clams with green onions, and then let the second daughter-in-law chop some meat and make fried lotus root. Last time she fried lotus root, our Nuobao couldn't stop eating it!" When
little Nuobao in the room heard this, he quickly spit out the toes in his mouth and danced with joy.
After all, his mother understood her!
Sun Chunxue was dumbfounded.
"Mom, where can we get clams in the winter? And these green onions and lotus roots, I didn't see any at home just now."
Feng quickly tried to cover up the matter: "Why? I have to tell you in advance if I buy something."
Sun Chunxue scratched her head and had to stop asking. After cutting the green onions and lotus roots, she went outside to collect the clothes.
Xiao Nuobao was lying on the kang.
He rolled around like a pancake, doing nothing.
Sometimes he played with his little feet, sometimes he teased Chun Ge'er. When he had enough fun, he happened to hear his sister-in-law walking by the window, so he smiled and wanted to tease her again.
The Jiang family's clothes drying rack was placed in the backyard, with grape vines planted on the side and a small vacant vegetable plot.
Sun Chunxue had just put the clothes on her shoulders when she suddenly felt a hit on her head.
"Bang."
Something hit her head!
"Who, who hit me?" Sun Chunxue shouted while touching her head.
She turned around hastily and saw something dazzling under the grapevine. She picked it up and saw that it was a yellow chalcedony bracelet!
