After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich
Chapter 72 Making dumplings to eat
Xu Mengxiao knew that she slept poorly and was a dead sleeper, so few people were willing to sleep with her.
She doesn't want to sleep in the same bed with others because it's for their own good, because when she sleeps, she is domineering and dictatorial, and almost every time she makes people angry.
So when she saw that Lu He was not in good condition, Xu Mengxiao had no doubts at all. He must have kicked and grabbed the quilt again, and maybe he was grinding his teeth and talking in his sleep.
His face turned red and he immediately decided to wait until Zihan fell asleep in the middle of the night before returning to his room to avoid affecting his health.
Lu He acted as if nothing had happened, as if the storm and charm of his own life last night had never existed.
He asked Xu Zihan to get up early in the morning to read. At this time, people are most energetic and their minds are clearer. He took the book and took him to read.
"Master, can I listen together?" Xu Mengxiao raised his hand, thinking that this was a good opportunity to "recognize Chinese characters".
"Second sister, come quickly!" Xu Zihan immediately invited excitedly.
"I still have to chop meat fillings to make dumplings for you. You just read at the door of the kitchen. After I listen, you can point out to me which lines it is." Xu Mengxiao didn't want to read anymore and went through the motions. Just some people knowing.
Soon, Lu He's cold and melodious voice sounded. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that his voice seemed louder.
Xu Zihan read aloud, and for a moment, the Lu family's courtyard became harmonious and warm.
People passing by couldn't help but take a look. Seeing that Xu Zihan was studying here with Lu He, some people's minds became lively.
"Li Zheng, since the school in our village has disappeared, the children have no way to study. I wonder if I can stay with Lu He. Not to mention taking the imperial examination, it is good to know a few words. Maybe I can be a doctor when I grow up. A counting house or something!”
Lu Li was hesitating, "Lu He is not in good health. Although he can walk and go out, his energy is very low and he has to rest for most of the day."
And he felt that with Lu He's temperament, he definitely didn't like to get involved in these things.
"Haha, look what you said, teaching one person is teaching, teaching ten people is teaching. He can teach as long as he wants, and we can't force him to do otherwise."
When you say that, it already sounds a bit aggressive.
But as the head of a village, Lu Lizheng has indeed worried about the children in the village studying. Who doesn't want to have a few powerful scholars in his village? They are also from Yaoyu Village!
His eyes lit up, "How about we invite Li Xiucai to teach the children in the village, and he will know more about reading."
Several people who came to him suddenly exclaimed, "Li Xiucai? How much will it cost to ask him to teach!"
Lu Lizheng's face turned dark, "Then my Lu He doesn't have to pay me?"
"Can it be the same? Lu He has no fame, so he certainly doesn't need such a high degree of cultivation."
There was a faint hint of underestimation in his words, which made Lu Lizheng unhappy, "If my Lu He takes the imperial examination, he may not be worse than Li Xiucai!"
Everyone just smiled and said nothing, but their expressions clearly showed a bit of disbelief. This Li Xiucai is now in his mid-twenties. He passed the scholar examination last year and is indeed one of the rare young talents.
"Your Lu He can't take the exam, right? If something happens on the way to take the exam, it won't be worth it. But it's different if you let him teach. If he uses his spare energy, he might be able to teach a few talented students! "
Lu Li was very unhappy when he heard this. On the one hand, he thought that his family, Lu He, could not pass the exam and was weak. On the other hand, he wanted Lu He to teach his children to be successful. How much effort would it take? Why not say that he was weak? Failed the exam?
But I still want to take advantage and don’t want to spend more money... I want to eat shit!
Lu Lizheng was now "infected" by Xu Mengxiao, and he was not willing to suffer at all in his heart, but he said, "Let me discuss it with him."
"Then we are waiting for your good news. The children in the village are waiting for you. From now on, their future depends on Luhe!"
Lu Lizheng couldn't help but feel fed up. After returning, he didn't even mention a word about it, just waiting to turn around and find excuses to put it away.
After a busy morning, Xu Mengxiao’s dumplings are ready.
Of course, she would definitely not do it by herself. She would drag Xu Zihan, Lu He and Lu Hai who had finished reading, and teach them how to do it if they didn't know how to do it, and let the one who made the ugly one eat it himself!
Unexpectedly, Lu He got started very quickly. After a few strokes, he even made it look better than Xu Mengxiao's.
Xu Mengxiao, "..." How does this person look?
Xu Zihan is also very smart, and he is very similar to others.
Lu Hai is a typical example of a person whose brain has learned how to use eyes and hands but has become useless. The dumplings made by him are so crooked and ugly that they are all kinds of weird.
"The good-looking ones are the same, but the ugly ones are different." Xu Mengxiao commented with a smile.
No matter how hard they made it, when the dumplings came out of the pot one by one, Lu Li just came back and could smell the rich aroma that the dumpling wrappers couldn't hide!
"What is this? It smells so good!"
"Uncle Li Zheng, these are dumplings filled with leek and pork filling, cabbage and pork filling, and shepherd's purse filling!" Xu Zihan said.
Xu Mengxiao served him a bowl. She filled the three flavors with different shapes, so she filled some of each.
Lu Hai was about to sneak some good-looking ones into his bowl when he was caught by Xu Mengxiao, "The ones you make yourself are more delicious. You don't want your hard work to be in vain, do you?"
Lu Hai looked at the white fat floating in the pot, and then looked at his own shriveled and thin one, he almost burst into tears.
Xu Mengxiao poured some more vinegar, "If you like it, eat it with vinegar, and if you don't like it, it's delicious soaked in dumpling soup."
Naturally, several people were curious and wanted to try it.
When they bit into the juicy dumplings and took a bite of the chewy meat dumplings wrapped with vegetables, their faces lit up a bit!
"This is more delicious than big meat buns!"
"I like eating this shepherd's purse stuffed with meat, it's delicious!"
Lu He finished bowl after bowl in silence.
A family of five ordered a large pot full of fifty dumplings, and they ate them all in a short time. Lu Hai was still not satisfied, so he ordered twenty more dumplings and shared them with Lu Lizheng and Xu Zihan. .
"It's satisfying. It feels so good. Let's eat dumplings every day from now on!"
"Don't cook any more tonight, just have another meal!"
Xu Mengxiao smiled and shook her head, picked up fifty dumplings, put them in a sieve, and asked Lu Hai to deliver them to the west end of the village.
Xu Lingyan and the others were specially greeted last night. They didn't make lunch, but before the dumplings came, old man Xu came.
From a distance, he seemed to be wary of Rhubarb, and then played the emotional card.
"Yanzi, please open the door quickly. I have brought you some food."
A villager passed by and saw the food in his vegetable basket, which was piled full of bowls of braised pork. In fact, there were all kinds of fake dishes underneath, with only a few pieces of braised pork.
They didn't know that when they saw that old man Xu's eyes were full of vicissitudes of life and his hair seemed to be whiter, he said softly: "Lingyan, open the door for your father quickly. The old man came here specially to bring food. No matter how old he is, he can't get there, let alone your father." Did not do anything."
"Daqing didn't do anything. He just wanted to see them, but he was bitten by the dog."
Everyone curled their lips and said nothing about this. Xu Daqing's reputation has long been ruined!
Old man Xu froze and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes as if he was crying. He deliberately wore shabby and dirty clothes to make him look even more pitiable.
Many people passed by and said something helpful.
Seeing that they didn't move anymore, everyone was about to accuse them. Old man Xu was secretly proud and prepared to add fuel to the fire by pretending to faint on the ground!
