Chapter 79: Little New Year (I)
Wang Youcai settled down in the narrow village.
Everyone was very curious about his appearance.
When he heard what Chen Chunxing said from Diao, disgust was immediately written on his face.
Most of these people come from farming families and have been working in the fields all their lives. In terms of farming alone, they have never been better than anyone else.
Fortunately, the old man is not just bragging.
Relying solely on the skill of "chatting", he quickly broke into the narrow village.
For example, how many grandchildren each family has and which one is the most favored; who has conflicts with which family and what kind of conflicts have they had; what abilities each family's men have and whether their wives are pretty... In just three days, Wang Youcai knew everything.
Thanks to him, the entire Shen family learned a lot of gossip.
Now that we can strike up a conversation, many things are no longer a problem.
Relying solely on his life experience in the Northeast, Wang Youcai proposed many suggestions for improving the simple "fire wall", and also hinted that he had a more mature method of building a kang, and he would definitely build it by the beginning of next spring when everyone had better conditions!
Everyone was stunned.
Finally, the old man went around the fields again and got some farm manure, saying that although this vegetable was a winter vegetable, it still needed to be kept warm.
Seeing that what he said made sense and that the Shen family did not refute him, everyone understood that this old man was really capable and their attitude immediately became much more enthusiastic.
After all, we migrated from the south to the north, and this land has been barren all year round. If we really say that we have confidence, we are deceiving ourselves. The most frightening thing is that after sowing, the harvest will be less than half of what we expected, and all our efforts will be in vain!
Since there is someone who claims to be good at farming, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
So.
Doctor Chang's yard became completely bustling with activity.
Everyone knew that he was a doctor, so when they caught a cold, no matter how rich they were, they would shamelessly ask him for a bowl of medicine.
Things have become even easier since Wang Youcai moved in!
The old man can only order everything.
Knowing that herbs are rare in this place, he would carry a basket and go to collect herbs before dawn every day. When he came back, he did nothing but chat.
While chatting, he cooked medicine for everyone.
And they don’t charge any money.
Doctor Chang just stared blankly every day, unable to do anything about him.
First, you don’t have to prepare the medicine yourself, and second, you don’t have to decoct it yourself. At most, you are borrowing the yard. Who can say anything more?
He could only run to the Shen family angrily to find some peace and quiet.
But wait and see.
Wow, they are almost as good as ours.
The whole yard is full of happy little kids.
Chen Yandong, the most unpopular boy in the village, has now become the king of the children.
He led a group of carrot-tops jumping around, chasing sheep and chickens, and made the orange cat and the chicken become comrades-in-arms who shared the same hatred for the enemy.
"Get down here! You've grown so powerful! Why don't you put its wings on yourself and fly up to the sky together!"
Under the constant harassment of the naughty children, the chick, which was only more than two months old, flapped its wings and flew to the top of the wall.
Seeing Chen Yandong stepping on the two children's shoulders and climbing up, Diao immediately rolled up her sleeves, pulled them down one by one, and spit in their faces.
"The chicken flew away, what a waste!"
Little Lao Si grinned obediently, trying hard to sell himself well.
"Catch them, fatten them up, and sell them for money to make fancy clothes for my grandmother."
Diao Shi didn't hold back her expression and lightly poked his forehead.
"Where did you learn that? Slippery tongue!"
Shen Mingqiu, who was sitting at the door of the main hall holding a book, heard the words and glanced at the carrot head next to Shen Yandong.
He shook his head and pretended not to hear.
Children in narrow villages are really difficult to raise.
In order to prevent the fourth child from being led astray, Chen Chunxing took the initiative to recruit all the naughty children in the village, under the pretext that they would teach more people to read and have more ways out for everyone.
Wu Min was also very happy about this.
It is the same whether you are herding one sheep or a flock of sheep.
Even though these children are very noisy, they would never dare to act unruly in front of the teacher.
They all come from poor families, they know how hard it is to learn to read and write, and they all want to make a name for themselves. Of course, the most important thing is - if they miss this good opportunity, they will easily suffer a setback when they return home!
It was not even time yet, and Wu Min had just gone back to cook when the naughty kids became uncontrollable.
"Go, go, go home and eat! My house can't feed so many mouths!"
Seeing the children making noises and peeking into the main room, Shen Mingqiu stood up with a stern face and scolded them.
Today is the Little New Year.
Maoping delivered the glutinous rice a few days in advance.
Early in the morning.
Chen Chunxing mixed glutinous rice with rice and asked Yang Yi to grind it into powder, while he went to the kitchen to work on it.
The naughty kids refused to leave until they smelled the fragrance.
After Shen Mingqiu's reminder, Diao finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Someone really is rushing to do this..."
She was really impressed by the dumplings made by the eldest girl!
He's been acting weird today, and I don't know what he's been cooking. It smells good, but it looks disgusting, and it tastes even worse...
Thinking of the wonderful taste of sesame dumplings, Diao suddenly became confused and waved her hand to send the person away.
"What's the matter? Do you really want to eat in our house? If this gets out, people will think I'm the village chief trying to win everyone over! What kind of person would I be then? No way, get out of here!"
Shen Mingqiu half opened his mouth and gave Diao a thumbs up.
When it comes to telling lies, apart from the eldest sister, Nai is the best.
The little kids pouted and looked back every few steps as they left the Shen family. Before leaving, they did not forget to flutter their bright eyes and look at the "boss" they had just recognized.
Unfortunately, a silly child is still a silly child after all.
He was attracted by the fragrance in the house and didn't even leave his back to his younger brothers.
Shen Mingqiu laughed strangely at the children who were about to cry.
I’m afraid that after this trip, Xiao Lao Si will be left alone again.
inside the house.
Chen Chunxing had fried the filling, kneaded the dough, and was working hard to knead it together.
Making baba is much simpler than making dumplings. Just wrap the filling in it, roll it into a ball, flatten it, and seal the seams to avoid any cracks.
"What smells so good?"
Doctor Chang watched the excitement for a long time, then walked in with his head held high. Seeing two huge porcelain basins on the table, he couldn't help but shrug his nose.
"Xueli Hong?"
Chen Chunxing raised his eyes and glanced at him, "You have a very sensitive nose."
"That's... I'm not blind!"
Doctor Chang was sitting at the table, looking around.
One bowl contains pickled mustard greens and minced meat, and the other bowl contains radish and dried shrimp.
Just looking at the filling is enough to make your mouth water.
"What delicious food are you making, girl?" He rolled his eyes and, without waiting for Chen Chunxing to answer, complained, "You're the one who sent Lao Wang here. You have to keep him under control. How can I have peace and quiet when you invite so many people here all day long?"
Chen Chunxing thought about it and said, "Then let him go?"
Doctor Chang stroked his goatee and said nothing.
In fact, the two of them get along pretty well.
After all, one is hardworking and willing to work, and the other is big-bellied and able to eat...
Chen Chunxing seemed to see through the old man's thoughts and smiled mischievously.
"If you want to eat, just tell me. How would I know if you don't tell me? Tell me, do you want to eat..."
Doctor Chang slammed the table!
