The next day, Liu Tangxi got up early.
However, it was never too early for Wei Hanzhou.
She hadn't heard Wei Hanzhou get up at all. When she woke up, the chairs in the cabinet had already been placed in their original positions.
Listening to the voices of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li outside, Liu Tangxi hurriedly put on her clothes and went to wash.
After washing up, I hurried to the kitchen.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li had already started cooking, Liu Tangxi said quickly, "Mother, sister-in-law, let me cook today."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her mother-in-law and said, "No need, I'll come today."
Mrs Li thought for a while, put down the things in her hand, stood up from the stove, and said, "Your second sister-in-law is a month old, come and make a fire. Let your sister-in-law teach you about cooking, and you will be back in two days. Do it, then you and your sister-in-law will take turns. When your second sister-in-law is out of confinement, the three of you will take turns. "
It's a good thing for the daughter-in-law to take the initiative to cook, but just by listening to her daughter-in-law's accent, she knows that the other party is not their local. Different places have different tastes, and she has to take care of her family's seriously ill man, so she has to pay attention to the amount of oil and salt.
Instead of letting her mess around and wasting food, it is better to let the eldest daughter-in-law teach first.
"Okay, listen to my mother." Liu Tangxi responded obediently.
Mrs. Zhang also understood what Mrs. Li meant. Back then, the second younger siblings also made a mess when they first entered the house. She also taught them. Therefore, Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything about Mrs. Li's arrangement today.
After Mrs. Li went out, Liu Tangxi took the flint and started to make a fire just like Mrs. Li just now.
Liu Tangxi is very handy, and he succeeded after a few attempts.
Soon, the pot is hot.
Mrs. Zhang is very conscientious. When cooking, she has been talking to Liu Tangxi about the placement of various utensils and seasonings, as well as the tastes of everyone in the family. Especially the taste of a patient, a pregnant woman.
Liu Tangxi remembered them all.
The weather is excellent today, Wei Hanzhou got up early in the morning and went to the mountain with a book. On the way to the mountain, we passed by our own apple orchard. Thinking of the sweet apple in the mouth yesterday, Wei Hanzhou picked up a small apple from the ground, wiped it with his sleeve, and took a bite.
As soon as he ate it, Wei Hanzhou frowned.
The taste is very familiar, the same as in previous years, but it is not the same as the one I ate yesterday.
It may be that he was unlucky, and the apple variety he picked up was different from yesterday's.
Although it was not delicious, Wei Hanzhou still finished the meal while climbing the mountain.
When we reached the top of the mountain, the sky lit up slightly.
Wei Hanzhou read the book for half an hour on the top of the mountain.
Seeing that the smoke from his chimney at the foot of the mountain had been coming out for a while, and many men who went to work in the fields went to the village from the fields, he packed up his books and went down the mountain.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Wei Hanzhou met two older brothers who came back from the field.
"The two brothers have worked hard."
Wei Daniu looked at Wei Hanzhou with a smile in his eyes, and said, "If you say anything out of the ordinary, it's no easier for you to read than us."
Wei Erhu looked at Wei Hanzhou's slightly guilty eyes and said with a smile: "Since you passed the examination as a scholar, our family's taxes and corvée have been exempted, and now it is much easier than before. If you really want to make life at home If you live better, then study hard, and when you succeed in the exam, you will be able to relax at home.”
Wei Hanzhou said solemnly: "Please rest assured, brothers, brother will work hard."
Seeing that everyone was standing at the door, Wei Daniu patted Erhu on the shoulder, and said, "What do you say, Hanzhou, don't listen to your second brother, don't put such a heavy burden on your heart. How easy is it to take the test? , it doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam, it's not easy for you to pass the exam now. Don't stand at the door, go home. "
After the three brothers went in, they saw several children playing in the yard.
Wei Bosheng and Wei Fuyao were feeding the chickens with small bugs, but Wei Shulan was too scared to approach.
"Big... Big brother, have you really eaten the chicken?" Wei Shulan asked cautiously.
Wei Fuyao was about to throw the little bug in his hand into the chicken pen, when he heard Wei Shulan's words, he turned his head and held the little bug in his hand and put it in front of Wei Shulan's eyes.
Seeing Wei Shulan's tears in her eyes, Wei Fu shook the bug in his hand with a wicked smile on his face: "Eat or not, you'll know if you come and try."
"Wow!" Wei Shulan cried loudly.
"Fuyao, you are bullying your sister again!" Wei Erhu frowned and yelled at his daughter.
Her daughter has not been honest since she was a child. When she was in her mother's womb, she tossed her mother, and after she was born, she was uneasy. Cry every night, make trouble every day. When he grows up, he is like a wild child again, running wildly with a group of boys every day, and he doesn't look like a girl at all.
Because of this temper, Wei Fuyao was beaten a lot.
Seeing her father talking about her, Wei Fuyao pouted.
Although Wei Daniu loves his daughter, his niece is also grown up by him, so he grabbed Wei Erhu and said disapprovingly: "What are you doing? The children are so young, what do they know? It's a girl's family again, why? Can start."
Although Wei Erhu didn't come forward again, he still gave his daughter a look.
Seeing this, Wei Hanzhou put the book in his arms and walked towards his nephews and nieces.
To be precise, it was walking towards Wei Shulan.
Wei Shulan is only three years old, and she is soft and cute, and she is very good at acting like a baby. She is two completely different temperaments from Wei Fuyao, who climbs a tree and a river. The birth of Wei Shulan, to a certain extent, filled the gap that Wei's third family only had sons.
Of course, although Wei Fuyao was also a girl, no one counted her.
"Shu Lan, don't cry anymore."
"Third uncle." Wei Shulan lay down in Wei Hanzhou's arms aggrieved.
Wei Hanzhou picked up Wei Shulan and patted her on the back to coax her.
Liu Tangxi, who was burning the fire in the kitchen, glanced outside after hearing this. Wei Hanzhou's face happened to be facing the kitchen, so Liu Tangxi saw Wei Hanzhou's very close and gentle appearance.
Seeing this, Liu Tangxi almost thought he was dazzled.
The villain who has done all the bad things in the book also has such a warm side, which is really surprising.
While Wei Hanzhou coaxed Wei Shulan, he did not forget to give Wei Fuyao a light glance.
Wei Fuyao wasn't afraid of her father, but he was afraid of this talented third uncle. This glance made Wei Shulan hurriedly hide the bug in her hand, and then quietly pulled Wei Bosheng over to block her in front of her.
Although she is one year younger than Wei Bosheng, she is taller than Wei Bosheng. Even hiding behind Wei Bosheng, everyone can see her at a glance.
"Third uncle, it's not my fault, it's the earthworm that my eldest brother took me to catch." Wei Fuyao began to lie.
Wei Bosheng stared blankly at the two younger sisters and touched the back of his head.
He had been watching chickens fighting and fighting for food just now, and he had no idea what was going on. He was at a loss at the moment.
Seeing Wei Hanzhou looking over, Wei Bosheng felt ashamed.
Just like Wei Fuyao, in this family, the person he is most afraid of is Wei Hanzhou.
The third uncle hates them lying the most, so Wei Bosheng honestly admits his mistake: "I'm sorry, third uncle, it's all my fault, I brought my sisters to play."
Wei Hanzhou glanced at Wei Fuyao over Wei Bosheng, and said lightly, "It's not an example, go wash your hands and eat."
"Yes." Wei Bosheng replied obediently.
Wei Bosheng ran to wash his hands, and Wei Fuyao followed behind him.
When passing the kitchen, Wei Fuyao glanced at Wei Hanzhou who was coaxing Wei Shulan not far away, and then glanced at Liu Tangxi who came out of the kitchen, his eyes rolled.
"Aunt San." Wei Fuyao greeted Liu Tangxi with a smile.
Liu Tangxi touched Wei Shulan's head and responded with a smile, "Well, go wash your hands."
As soon as the words were finished, the next moment, a little bug appeared in front of Liu Tangxi.
Liu Tangxi paused for a moment when he put his hand on Wei Fu's head.
It would be a lie to say that she is not afraid. She is most afraid of these soft-footed animals. Every time she sees it, she panics and hides far away.
It's just that she also heard some things in the kitchen that happened in the yard just now.
When Mrs. Zhang heard her daughter cry, she was naturally very nervous. She ran out for a while and saw Daniel Wei and the others came back, so she ignored it and came back to cook. While cooking, I told Liu Tangxi a few words about what happened in the yard.
Seeing the smug look on Wei Fuyao's face, Liu Tangxi's expression became more and more calm.
"Oh, it turned out to be a little bug." Liu Tangxi said calmly.
Wei Fuyao's smile faded a little after hearing this, looking very disappointed.
"I heard that this thing is extremely tenacious, and it can still live if it is cut in half."
Wei Fuyao pouted and said, "I know, it's not that I haven't played before."
"Not only can you cut half of it to live, but if you cut it a few times, you can live if you cut it ten or eight times."
Wei Fuyao had never done such a thing, his eyes widened and he looked very curious.
Liu Tangxi continued: "Hey, you can live as small as a fingernail. Then, these densely packed little earthworms all wriggled on the ground, crawling towards the person who cut it to take revenge."
Saying that, Liu Tangxi stretched out his hands and made a scary movement.
Wei Fuyao didn't expect the back to be so disgusting, he cried out with a wow, looked at Liu Tangxi with fear, and ran away.
As soon as Wei Hanzhou put down the little niece, he heard the scream of the eldest niece, and looked up at the initiator.
Seeing Wei Hanzhou's disapproving eyes, Liu Tangxi pouted and shrugged, ignoring him, and walked straight to the main room.
Until he got to the dinner table, Wei Fuyao still had an unspeakable expression on his face, and his eyes still stared at Liu Tangxi from time to time.
Seeing Wei Fuyao's gaze, Liu Tangxi gave her a kind smile.
However, this smile made Wei Fuyao feel terrified for no reason.
Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi lightly when he saw the situation between the two people.
Liu Tangxi picked up a chopstick and put it in Wei Hanzhou's bowl. With a smirk, he said, "My husband eats the vegetables."
Wei Hanzhou pursed his lips and said nothing.
The other adults on the table laughed secretly when they saw this scene.
After eating, Wei Fuyao couldn't help but approached Liu Tangxi again, and asked cautiously, "Third aunt, is what you just said true? If I cut down the little bugs, they will come to me for revenge?"
Liu Tangxi wanted to say no, but, seeing Wei Fuyao's expression, Liu Tangxi changed his mouth and said seriously, "Of course it's true."
"But I... I cut it before, why didn't they come to seek revenge for me?"
"That's because the ones you cut are good-natured, and some are very vengeful. So, you can stop catching little bugs in the future."
Thinking of what Liu Tangxi said just now, Wei Fuyao looked disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly, nodded silently, and went to the main room.
Wei Hanzhou came out of the main room and happened to hear these words.
Seeing Liu Tangxi's smug look, Wei Hanzhou pursed his lips and said, "It's interesting to lie to children?"
Liu Tangxi was startled, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Yes, it's more interesting than lying to you."
Thinking of the fact that Liu Tangxi lied to him yesterday, and seeing Wei Hanzhou's face even more ugly, Liu Tangxi smiled and went to the kitchen to wash pots and dishes.
Third Wei's face is getting better and better, and Li's attitude towards her is also very good, so she is not afraid of him!
He didn't seem to have expected Liu Tangxi to say such... such a rogue, Wei Hanzhou frowned at Liu Tangxi's back.
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Uncle Third, that means Aunt San just lied to me, can I go catch the little bugs with my brother again?"
Wei Hanzhou's expression paused: "... Of course not."
Wei Fuyao looked at the indifferent back of the third uncle, and then looked at the third aunt who was humming a song in the kitchen with a happy face, and stomped his feet in anger.
Seeing his daughter talking to Liu Tangxi together, Zhou Shi had a different idea. ,,
