Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

But Sun Li only observed it for a while and then closed the gift box.

"It has been a long time since I have had a long conversation with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Let's go to the study together."

Sun Li was old, and his walk was not as smooth as when he was young, but he did not hand the gift box to the Sun Mansion guards who were accompanying him. He walked steadily, with pauses at every step.

Ouyang Siyuan held his forehead with his hand, "I knew it would be like this..."

He took two steps at a time and chased after Sun Li, "Grandmaster, Grandmaster, let me help you carry the gift box."

"No need. The prince must be tired after all the traveling. Take a breath. When we get to the study room later, there's no point complaining about being tired when we're taking exams."

Ouyang Siyuan: "..."

From Kunning Palace to the East Palace, how many breaths can he take?

-

On the seventh and eighth days of the twelfth lunar month, jackdaws freeze to death, on the eighth and ninth days of the twelfth lunar month, puppies freeze to death, and on the ninth and tenth days of the twelfth lunar month, little people freeze to death.

It has been really cold since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

The snow on the ground is also thicker than before.

Li Changle is really afraid of the cold.

I don’t care whether people find it strange or not. Anyway, not many people come to the courtyard at this time.

She simply put on the modern long down jacket that she had in her warehouse, and wore fleece-lined thermal underwear and a thin jacket underneath.

Then buy a thick scarf from the mall and put on snow boots.

She stood in the inner room and ran a few steps.

The bloat is really bloat.

But it’s also really warm.

The two children were fully armed like her, but the little one seemed to be more resistant to the cold than her. Yu Er was not happy with wearing too much, which delayed her from rolling snowballs in the yard...

Laba porridge is cooking in the pot in the kitchen.

The day before yesterday, I brought teacher Li Shixi to deliver water writing cloths to Wang Dahu's two sons for practicing calligraphy. I received gratitude from the entire Wang family and also unexpectedly received 10 contribution points of gratitude rewarded by the system.

I listened to my mother-in-law mention the custom of eating Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

So, this is arranged.

Today's pot of porridge contains more than eight kinds of beans and rice, but more than ten.

Red beans, kidney beans, black beans, peanuts, lotus seeds, black rice, brown rice, red rice, glutinous rice, wheat, peanuts, longan, red dates, millet, walnut kernels...

I soaked it the night before and boiled it before dawn. It has been boiling for more than two hours.

Li Changle opened the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma of porridge filled the entire stove. When it was almost ready, he added brown sugar and sprinkled a handful of raisins.

She called out to Leng Yi and Leng Er, "I made a big pot specially, and you guys can help deliver some to Wang's and Muramasa's house later, oh, and to Auntie's house in Xiaozhulin and Doctor Li's house."

"By the way, those outside...um, those on the trees, roofs, and hillsides, do you want to let them have a bowl too?"

When she heard Leng Yi say that the area outside was like an iron barrel, she was almost scared to death, thinking that she was surrounded by evil forces from all sides.

After hearing the explanation, I found out that they were sent by the Heavenly Family...

Then there is nothing to be afraid of.

Leng Yi and Leng Er have a deep understanding of the feeling of being frozen into an ice stick in the dark in the middle of winter.

"Madam, put the pot by the well at night and let them come and get it themselves."

Li Changle thought about it and agreed. It was late at night and everyone was asleep, so they could move around.

Each industry has its own rules.

Someone had to be guarding the yard, so Leng Yi carried a few jars to deliver the porridge, and when he came back he brought several return gifts.

The Wang family also sent back a portion of Laba porridge, which contained only glutinous rice, red dates and red beans. The red dates and brown sugar used in the porridge were given by Li Changle earlier.

Doctor Li also cooked bean porridge at home, with three or two kinds of beans and brown rice cooked until they were soft.

The ingredients of Muramasa's Laba porridge were richer. After all, he had a son who ran a grocery store in the county, and his family was originally better off than others.

As for the Laba porridge that Hu Yue brought back from her mother's house... well, there were enough ingredients, but it was not cooked enough, and the brown sugar was not cooked enough.

Li Changle scooped out a few bites of each kind of Laba porridge.

We can’t let people down.

Eating Laba porridge seemed to be a very important festival ritual in ancient times.

She steamed two trays of steamed buns this morning.

At noon, I had Laba porridge with steamed buns.

She and the children don’t have big appetites, and there are a lot of beans in the Laba porridge, so they are afraid it will be difficult to digest.

She left the beans aside and scooped half a bowl for the fish, letting her dip the steamed bun in it.

Li Shixi has the stomach of half an adult, so he is full after drinking a bowl of rice and eating half a steamed bun.

Leng Yi and Leng Er scooped the food into large bowls as usual and took it outside to eat. They could eat at the table and chairs by the well, or under the corridor, anywhere.

-

In the bamboo house in the small bamboo forest.

Hu Yue Niang and her son in the side room were drinking... the Laba porridge sent from the Li family courtyard.

Wei Mancheng stirred the soup in the bowl with a smile on his face, "Mom, regardless of how good Madam Li is, her skill in making Laba porridge is really good. It's worth it that you think about it every day, probably just for a bite to eat."

Hu Yue Niang is now in good mental state and her sentences are less interrupted.

She said softly:

"Her cooking skills are of course better than Jixiang's. Jixiang's porridge is still not cooked enough, and the beans are not soaked soft. Hmm, but it is cooked..."

Wei Mancheng lowered his head to drink his porridge and began to listen to his mother praising Madam Li every day.

Even his own son had never been praised so much by her every day.

Jixiang, who was drinking the Laba porridge he had cooked himself in the main hall, found the porridge even harder to swallow after hearing the old lady's frank comments.

In all kinds of self-loathing...

Wei Mancheng finished his porridge slowly, then said: "Mom, we will spend the New Year in Lushui Village this year. After the New Year, do you have any ideas?..."

Hu Yue Niang looked at him quietly for a while, then she lowered her head and continued to drink her porridge.

"Mother doesn't want to leave Li County. Mother is old. Unlike you, my son, I still have a lot of work to do. You can go. Mother can wait until the day when I can hold my grandson..."

"The old lady of the Wei family will not allow you to bring mother back. After all, mother was driven out in the first place..."

Wei Mancheng clenched his fists and looked straight at Hu Yueniang, "Mother, they dare not do anything to you."

"Humph, they are still counting on their son to bring honor to their Wei family!"

Hu Yue Niang could guess what he meant just by hearing him say this.

Although the Wei family is wealthy and powerful, few of their children can enter the officialdom.

Even though he spent a huge amount of money to buy the position of deputy magistrate and the honorary title of Yuanwailang, he was barely able to join the ranks of "gentry".

As the ambitious head of the Wei family, he naturally doesn't want to stop there.

The Wei family is willing to spend money to educate their young people to go to school, but the land of wealth and pleasure is too dazzling.

There are more children who are greedy for enjoyment than those who are motivated to study.

In this family environment, Wei Mancheng, a white-clad scholar who concentrates on his studies and is diligent and motivated, becomes extremely precious.

The teacher at the academy also told the head of the Wei family the truth: "This boy's talent is beyond the reach of other students, and he will eventually achieve his goal." (1)

This time when he came to look for his relatives, Wei Mancheng did not deliberately hide it from the Wei family.

If anyone dares to stop him from recognizing his biological mother, he will not hesitate to break off all ties with them.

"Yeah." Hu Yue Niang responded in a low voice, and she also let it go.

The wasted years cannot be brought back, we can only watch what is in front of us.

What is in front of you?

Isn't it just her and her son?

Her son has his own world to explore, so she can't be the one holding him back.

"That mother..."

After all, wherever her son is, there she will be. She spoke slowly, thinking that she would follow his arrangements.

Wei Mancheng interrupted her and said, "Your son will stay with you in Lushui Village. The people here are quite nice. If you are not comfortable here, let's go to the county and buy a small courtyard to live in."

He has never met Hu Gui, who secretly sold Hu Yue Niang back then. This man must be feeling guilty and is deliberately avoiding him.

Hu Yue Niang now has no ties with the Hu family in Lushui Village. If she wants to stay, she can stay and no one dares to drive her away. If she wants to leave, she can leave and no one dares to stop her.

Hu Yueniang couldn't bear it, "Don't act on impulse, I know what you're thinking. It's the Wei family that owes me the wrong thing, not you, my son."

I have no regrets in this life as long as I can see you again. As for those people and things that are far away from me, I no longer care about them.

But you are a descendant of the Wei family, and you are ambitious and talented.

Even if you want to leave the Wei family, the Wei family's madam will probably not let you go."

So what if I was told that he is not the legitimate son of the Wei family?

Wouldn't it affect her son's determination to study if he wasn't a legitimate son?

No.

We have the opportunity to choose many things in this world, but we cannot choose our life experience.

The only way to change your destiny is to rely on yourself.

She looked at Wei Mancheng with apology in her eyes.

She had been in the Wei family and knew very well the huge difference between legitimate and illegitimate children in wealthy families.

If her son had been born in his stepmother's womb, the current situation would have been even brighter.

Just as they finished eating the porridge, Wei Mancheng collected the bowls and spoons from the mother and son and comforted Hu Yueniang, "Just relax, mother. Your son will never let you suffer in grievance again. In the future, your son will take you to the capital to take the exam."

"Hey, okay..."

Hu Yue Niang's eyes were moist, finally the suffering had paid off and happiness was finally coming to her.

Li Changle made pocket pancakes. He brushed two palm-sized pieces of dough with oil, rolled them together, and fried them on both sides in a cast iron pan placed on the charcoal fire of a clay stove to form a pocket shape.

This pot was bought when she went to the county last time. It cost her several hundred copper coins, but it is really convenient to use and does not get sticky at all.

Heat up the braised pork leg meat from two days ago, chop it into small pieces, mix it with the blanched and chopped vegetables, and stuff it into the pancakes.

There are dozens of pocket pancakes in a basket. This meal is really a waste of vegetables and meat!

The Laba porridge in the pot was left untouched, leaving it for everyone to celebrate the festival.

In the evening, I made another pot of sweet potato porridge that was not too thick, and drank it with pocket bread.

This cake is the same as Laba porridge, both are Changle brand!

Each pocket pie her mother made looked like it was printed out from a mold, with the dough being crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

The buns she made were...of different sizes, and she was afraid that there wouldn't be enough filling, so she stuffed vegetables and meat into them as much as possible.

The dough...is made into a leavened dough pancake just like the last time I made the braised meat pie.

The only thing she could brag about was that she made the pie into a pocket-shaped crust and stuffed it with more filling than her mother's.

On this point, the people who eat it have the most say.

Leng Yi and Leng Er no longer have the feeling that they are heroes without a place to use their talents. They should be considered to be living a good life, right?

……

At night, the Laba porridge in the pot was reheated and carried to the table under the straw shed along with the bowls and spoons, along with some pies.

There is a new table in the house, and the table in front has never been moved. If there are visitors in the yard, they will be entertained under the straw shed.

I asked Wang Yusheng to weave a bamboo mat and extend half of the bamboo wall along the firewood room, just enough to cover the side of the table and chairs.

With all the carrying and moving going on, there shouldn't be any need for her to give any more hints, right?

She looked around the yard and stomped back into the house.

She thought, it’s winter now, and it’s not easy for everyone.

If it were a summer night, she would probably just let them go.

At most I can give you a few boxes of mosquito coils as a friendly gift.

Yu'er and Li Shixi went to bed early.

The quilt is so comfortable that I fell asleep within a few seconds of lying in it.

Li Shixi is a good sleeper and usually doesn't kick off the quilt. Before Li Changle enters the room, he asks Er Leng, who takes turns to keep watch at night, to cover Li Shixi with a quilt before going to bed to prevent him from getting cold.

After Ouyang Siyuan left, Li Shixi occupied a bed in the side room by himself. This bed was bought from the county by Ouyang Siyuan and Wufeng, and the bedding was thick.

Li Shixi felt embarrassed to sleep alone and wanted to exchange beds with Leng Yi and Leng Er.

Rejected by Er Leng.

Are you kidding? It's enough for them to have a bed to sleep in.

The bed the prince slept in?

They are not worthy of it.

Li Shixi is also a little master now. The general said before he left that the little master is also a member of the Gu family!

When Li Changle was half asleep, he could vaguely hear the system voice broadcast in his consciousness.

But the bed was too warm and I didn’t wake up after all.

……

Around three or four in the morning, the long-lost wolf howls could be heard again on the Daqing Mountain.

"woo woo woo woo……"

"Woo..."

When the villagers who were more sensitive heard the noise, they were no longer as panicked and frightened as they had been in previous times.

Everyone was speculating whether these wolfhounds had brought wild animals to Lady Li again?

The villagers had seen the yard full of wild animals, but the Eagle Guards and Shadow Guards hiding in the dark had never seen it.

As the howls of wolves rose and fell, everyone drew their swords and crossbows, ready to strike.

As the wolf howls got closer to the courtyard, three or two figures tiptoed and ran towards the courtyard.

But when the three secret guards landed on the roof of the courtyard and looked into the courtyard, they were all a little confused.

Li Changle also heard the wolf howling, right under her window.

She got up and put on her big down jacket.

The door of the room opened a crack and I stuck my head out.

The big and small wolves, who had not been seen for a while, were now standing in the middle of the yard.

She waved at them as if she were meeting old friends, "Hey, you're here? Stop howling, stop howling, or you'll call people over!"

The man on the roof: "..." has arrived.

The wolf that was injured and asking for help saw Li Changle and ran to the courtyard wall, dragged a stupid spore over and threw it outside the corridor.

Li Changle chuckled and slipped out of the house.

"Oh, you are so polite. You brought me meat again?"

She looked over the courtyard wall and saw a lot of wild animals such as rabbits and pheasants under the wall.

"It's Chinese New Year. Today is Laba Festival. Do you wolves celebrate the festival?"

The big wolf paced back and forth, circled around his companion twice, and rubbed against it.

Li Changle was embarrassed, "You came to me just to show off your affection? Lun also has a husband."

She went into the kitchen, put a large piece of braised pork leg into the casserole, and poured half a bowl of hot water into it to prevent the bottom from getting burnt.

"Wait, I'll treat you two to a midnight snack. You must be tired of eating raw meat all day, right? Let me give you some human delicacies."

"Wait!" She went into the house and put the casserole in the charcoal basin. The condensed fat began to melt as it was preheated, and the meat slowly softened.

The smell of braised meat in the room made her feel a little hungry again...
