The kitchen moved quickly, and after drinking a cup of tea, the dishes began to be served. When the first plate of stew was served, Wang Qing and Wang Ni began to salivate. Shao Yun'an ordered rice and pancakes, whichever the two children liked. Wang Qing and Wang Ni were very cautious and didn't dare to move their chopsticks. Shao Yun'an ordered: "Don't go home if you can't finish eating, start!"
The two children couldn't understand the meaning of "start", but after Shao Yun'an put the vegetables into their bowls and got Wang Shijing's approval, the two children picked up the chopsticks and picked up the meat. After eating the first bite of meat, the two children couldn't hold it anymore. Shao Yun'an asked Wang Shijing to eat too, and he tried every dish first, and he started to eat it.
The taste of the dishes here can only be considered very ordinary for Shao Yunan, but the original taste is also a different kind of taste. The ingredients here are absolutely natural and pollution-free. The price of soybean oil is high. In order to control the cost, unless it is a specific customer, the restaurant usually uses refined pork to stir-fry. Some dishes are sautéed with lard, while others need to use vegetable oil.
Anyway, Shao Yun'an was hungry, hungry, so he could eat anything. The four of them didn't talk, they were absorbed in eating, and many guests who came to eat in the restaurant glanced at them suspiciously, "these four people won't be eating the overlord's meal". Wang Qing and Wang Ni had never eaten such a delicious meal, even during Chinese New Year, and the two children's faces were covered with oil. Shao Yun'an couldn't help but speak out: "Don't overeat, from now on, you can eat this kind of food every day."
"Little Daddy, is it true?" After a meal, Wang Ni let go of her restraint and spoke for the first time.
Shao Yun'an nodded: "Daddy promises you that you will have meat to eat every day from now on. You usually eat less meat, so don't overeat, or you will have to take medicine." There is no meat at all.
When Wang Ni heard this, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks, she was already full. Wang Qing also put down his chopsticks and burped. Shao Yunan was also full, so he asked Wang Shijing, "Can you make rounds for the rest?"
Wang Shijing nodded, and put the rest of the vegetables into the bowl. Having run out of snacks, Shao Yun'an asked Xiao Er to pack it, and then asked Xiao Er to pay the bill.
Xiao Er packed the snacks and came to pay the bill. The total was one or two or three coins, which was really not expensive for Shao Yun'an. Wang Shijing took out money from his pocket, Shao Yunan pressed his hand, took out two taels of silver and gave it to Xiaoer: "I will exchange the rest of the silver for bars."
Wang Shijing looked down at Shao Yunan's hand for a few times, and only after Shao Yunan withdrew his hand did he let it go.
Xiao Er didn't expect Shao Yun'an to pay the bill so readily, because he really didn't look like a rich person, and ordinary people would come to restaurants to eat extravagantly, and eating a bowl of noodles is a luxury. The wine Shao Yun'an ordered was the best wine here, and wine was a luxury, so Wang Shijing was not greedy and only drank a small cup. Shao Yun'an thought that he didn't seem to buy anything for Wang Shijing after buying so many things, so he simply bought some wine. The alcohol content here is low and the taste is astringent, Shao Yunan doesn't like it.
After Wang Shijing had finished eating and the drinks were packed, the four of them left Yizhangxuan while Xiaoer greeted them kindly. Shao Yun'an didn't use the jade plaque given by shopkeeper Zeng. One is that the price is really not expensive, and the other is that he doesn't want to give the other party the impression that he is busy greedy for cheap, he is not short of this little money. It's not too late to use that jade token when we get acquainted in the future.
After a big meal, Wang Qing and Wang Ni obviously let go a lot. Wang Shijing took Shao Yun'an and the two children to Buzhuang. Shao Yunan bought two pairs of shoes for himself, Wang Shijing, and two children each, as well as three bolts of high-quality cotton cloth, two bolts of high-quality satin cloth, and high-quality cotton. He wants to make two more quilts and quilts, and of course ask someone to help. These things cost another four taels of silver. From Wang Shijing's point of view, Shao Yun'an spent money like water, but he didn't say a word, it was all up to Shao Yun'an to decide.
Wang Shijing was still driving the car back home, Shao Yunan was guarding the two children on the left and right, and Wang Ni quietly grabbed Shao Yunan's sleeve. Shao Yun'an yawned a few times: "Brother Shijing, don't rush to clean up when you go back, I want to take a nap." This pair of physical foundation is not good, and things happen one after another, and the stomach is full, and the spirit is weak.
Wang Shijing drove the ox cart seriously and said: "Go back to sleep, I will clean up."
"Daddy, I can take care of it too." Wang Qing said boldly.
Shao Yun'an touched Wang Qing's head, and said politely, "Okay, if you two are not sleepy, help your father clean up."
The first faint shy smiles appeared on the faces of Wang Qing and Wang Ni.
※
On the way, Shao Yun'an was already drowsy. Fearing that he would catch a cold, Wang Shijing had to wake him up several times. Finally persisted until he saw the entrance of the village, Shao Yun'an couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep. When Wang Shijing came back with an ox cart, everyone in the village paid attention. People in the Wang family have attracted a lot of attention these days, especially Shao Yun'an, who dared to stab someone with a knife within two days of getting married.
Seeing so many things on the ox cart, a woman immediately shouted sourly: "Ishii, you bought so many things."
Wang Shijing just said a faint "um". Along the way, Wang Shijing met several women who asked questions, and Wang Shijing always responded with "um".
It's hard to have privacy in the village. Wang Shijing, who went out of the house, bought so many things the next day. Not to mention that the two bamboo baskets were full of things, the five bolts of cloth on the cart were wrapped so that it was impossible to tell what kind of cloth they were, but it was unthinkable in the village to buy five bolts at once. Food and sundries almost filled the car, and there was a wooden square table. Many people remembered that Shao Yun'an broke the square table in the courtyard of Li Zheng's family, and it must be paid to Li Zheng's family. How come these things cost a few taels of silver.
The voice of discussion followed Wang Shijing all the way, Wang Qing and Wang Ni who were so concerned by others shrank back unaccustomed and disliked, and Wang Ni even shrank into Shao Yunan's arms. The dazed Shao Yun'an hugged Wang Ni subconsciously and yawned big.
"Are we there?"
The drowsy sound of mumbling soft words made Wang Shijing's hand holding the whip tightly. Ignoring the attention around him, he said, "I'll be home soon."
Shao Yun'an barely opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw the dilapidated house he was currently living in. As soon as Wang Shijing parked the car, Shao Yunan couldn't wait to climb down.
"Yun'an, go to sleep."
"Well, I'm going to bed, I'm too sleepy."
Yawning again and again, Shao Yunan followed Wang Shijing closely, waiting for him to unlock the door.
Back in the house, Shao Yun'an kicked off his shoes, didn't bother to wash his hands, took off his coat and socks, opened the quilt and got in. Wang Shijing watched him fall asleep, then went out and closed the door. Wang Qing and Wang Ni were still beside the car, afraid that others would take the things in the car. Wang Shijing unloaded all the things on the car into the yard, and asked the two children to take out the things in the two big bamboo baskets first, and he went to return the car, and took the table to Li Zheng's family by the way.
Wang Qing and Wang Ni did not dare to touch the bamboo basket of the little dad, and took out all the things in the other bamboo basket first. Wang Qing moved the heavy items such as pots and pans to the kitchen, while Wang Ni brought in the seasonings one by one. When Wang Shijing came back, there were still many things in the yard, and the two children moved everything that could be moved to the kitchen. Wang Shijing quietly took cloth, cotton, newly bought shoes and so on into his and Shao Yunan's room. Shao Yunan fell asleep without any movement.
Wang Qing and Wang Ni stood beside the bamboo basket, their faces full of curiosity about what little daddy bought. Wang Shijing walked over, bent down and took out the two heavy wrapped paper bags on the top of the bamboo basket. After putting it on the ground, Wang Shijing asked Wang Qing to get a hatchet, cut the wrapping rope, and opened the thick paper bag for a look. Wang Qing and Wang Ni exclaimed.
In the two thick paper bags, one bag contains seven books, and the other bag contains three sets of inkstones and several brushes. Wang Shijing took out another large paper bag from the bamboo basket and opened it. It was the best rice paper.
"Father..." Wang Qing couldn't help but make a sound. It's books, paper and pens! Countless times he envied his cousin Wang Zaizheng for being able to read and learn characters, but he could only secretly watch from the sidelines.
Wang Shijing put these things aside: "When next spring begins, Dad will find someone to send you to class."
"Father?! Really?!" Wang Qing couldn't believe his ears.
Wang Shijing raised his hand to touch Wang Qing whose eyes were red, and said, "Father will not let you and Nizi suffer anymore."
"Father..." Wang Qing's tears flowed down, and he bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from crying. His heart was too bitter. Wang Ni cried aloud, the life without parents by her side was too hard. Wang Shijing hugged the two children who had suffered and wronged too much, and swore: "Father, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
"Father..." Wang Qing and Wang Ni cried while grabbing their father's clothes. Wang Shijing hugged the two children tightly, and his body was also tense. He is most sorry for these two children.
"Don't hate your mother, it's not easy for her."
"Woo..."
The two children were crying out of breath. Wang Shijing patted them: "Don't cry, don't wake up your little dad, let's see what else your little dad bought."
Wang Qing withdrew from his father's arms first, and wiped his face vigorously. Wang Ni looked up: "Father, will my little dad treat me and my brother well?"
"Yes." Wang Shijing wiped his daughter's tears, "Your little daddy will make clothes for you and buy you new shoes. Don't worry about what other people say, your little daddy will treat you well."
Wang Ni withdrew from her father's arms, still very scared, and said: "Second aunt, sister-in-law and cousin all said that my father would not want me and my brother if he married my father, and said that my father would beat us and scold us when he had children. Don't give us food."
Wang Shijing's one-eyed eyes were cold, and he coaxed in an ungentle voice: "Don't care about the people in my family from now on. Father won't want you, even if father has another child in the future, you are also father's." Children. Your little dad is not like that either. We will live our own lives in the future, remember."
"Father, I remember." Wang Qing put his arms around his sister. Glancing at her brother, Wang Ni nodded obediently and said in a low voice, "Father, I remember."
Rubbing the heads of the two children, Wang Shijing continued what he had just done. There is also an oiled paper bag on the paper bag. Wang Shijing picked it up, and he knew what it was without tearing it apart. He directly stuffed the paper bag into Wang Ni's arms, and said, "Your little dad even bought you some snacks, open it and have a look."
dessert!
Wang Qing immediately helped his sister open the paper bag, and the fragrant and beautiful snacks were imprinted in his eyes, which attracted the exclamation of the two children. Wang Shijing said: "Eat one piece each, and eat the rest at night. You have enough for lunch."
Impatiently, Wang Qing and Wang Ni each picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into their mouths. While the two children were eating, Wang Shijing continued to toss around.
A lot of meat, a lot of seasonings, how come there are medicinal materials? Wang Shijing also bought some meat, but definitely not so much. Um? And apples and pears!
Wang Qing and Wang Ni, who had just finished eating a piece of dim sum, looked at the pile of meat, bones and fruits, and their saliva couldn't help but flow out again. Daddy bought so many delicious food!
Where did Xiao Dae get the money from? Is it Xiao Dae's dowry money? The two children swallowed. Wang Shijing emptied out everything, and looked at the two children: "Don't tell me what you bought and what you ate at home. If someone asks, just say it's what you eat at home."
The two children nodded heavily.
Wang Shijing first took the book, pen, ink, paper and inkstone back to his room. The things were bought by Shao Yun'an. Whether they are for the two children will be arranged after Shao Yun'an wakes up. Then, he took all the meat and whatnot into the kitchen, which was almost full. Asking the two children to go back to the house to rest, Wang Shijing divided the meat he bought into two, and then took it out.
He was able to separate the family smoothly, thanks to the efforts of Li Zheng and the patriarch, and their family will have to trouble Li Zheng and the patriarch in the future. Wang Shijing delivered meat to Lizheng and the patriarch respectively, and called Uncle Wang and several other families to come over for dinner in the evening. Li Zhenghe and the patriarch were embarrassed to accept Wang Shijing's meat. The meat was not cheap, and Wang Shijing was a pure family, so life would not be easy. But Wang Shijing insisted, and the two families accepted the meat, but they immediately returned the gift. Li Zheng's family gave some vegetables and eggs, but Wang Shijing doesn't have any land now, so he has to go to other houses to buy vegetables. The patriarch Wang Wenhe also gave vegetables and eggs. These days, every household's eggs are saved and sold for money, and chicken farmers also raise seven or eight chickens at most. At the current price, an egg can sell for two cents.
After delivering the things, Wang Shijing went to Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou's house in the west of the village to talk to Aunt Zhou about making clothes and quilts. The Zhou family can be regarded as outsiders, and there are only two or three families with the surname Zhou in Xiushui Village. Uncle Zhou's name is Zhou Cai, and Aunt Zhou's surname is Li. The couple have only one son named Zhou Tianbao. Zhou Tianbao had a fever when he was a child, and his brain was burnt out. He was a bit stupid, and even a twenty-year-old would not be able to marry. Zhou Tianbao was born black and strong, capable of farm work, but he needs someone to take care of him in life.
When Shao Yun'an said that he was going to make clothes, Wang Shijing's first thought was to ask Aunt Zhou for help. Sure enough, Wang Shijing said he wanted Aunt Zhou to help make the inner and outer clothes for the family of four, as well as two quilts and mattresses, for a total of 300 Wen. Aunt Zhou was overjoyed. The son is stupid, the Zhou family doesn't have much land, and the taxes have been high in the past few years, and the things outside are also expensive. The three hundred Wen is equivalent to working outside for 20 days. Both Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou thought it was too high, but Wang Shijing didn't think it was too high.
There are sixteen pieces of clothes for each of the family of four. There are also quilts and mattresses, which are all a waste of time and effort. If Shao Yun'an wants to do more, then add more money. No one in their family knows how to make clothes, and they will have to come to Aunt Zhou in the future. The clothes they make must be suitable and comfortable, and they will also increase the income of the couple. Wang Shijing, who has also been away from home for three years and has now separated from his family, has deepened the relationship with the villagers. relationship step.
Wang Shijing was so generous that Zhou Shu and Aunt Zhou felt embarrassed. They didn't help Wang Shijing on the day he moved. Aunt Zhou immediately brought some vegetables for Wang Shijing, all of which were grown by her own family without any money. When Wang Shijing came home again, he was full of vegetables in his hands, and he didn't need to buy vegetables for three days.
