In winter, Zhang Qi came back from the town.

"Mother, what are you doing, grandpa?" When I first arrived at home, I found his mother was alone in the compound, so I couldn't help asking curiously.

Mrs. Zhang Liu replied without raising her head: "What else can I do? This is not your aunt's precious son. I don't know what kind of evil he has fallen into. He started to fuss a few days ago. What are you talking about raising silkworms? Heh-- - Just those few wild bugs, they took the trouble to build a house!

Our horses haven't lived in such a meticulous place yet. "

Zhang Qi was stunned after hearing this for a while: "Is there such a thing? Then this is what they are busy in the field now?"

"No." Mrs. Zhang and Liu wrung out the water and dried the clothes on the bamboo pole, then sneered again and said, "This is your brother's husband's idea. He said he wanted to grow vegetables. It's just the two of them, thinking about something. One by one, the idea is one by one, but it is very troublesome."

"At this time?" Zhang Qi was even more surprised when he heard it, and he couldn't help showing a sarcasm: "It's going to be winter soon, can we still make a living? Grandpa and the others also listen?"

"That's why I said I was bewitched!" Zhang Liu looked around, and said with a sneer: "Anyway, those few are your grandparents' treasures, and they will agree to anything. Before, they kept talking about how old they are and their bones are not good enough." I've left all the work at home to me, now? Humph!"

"Mom, keep your voice down."

"What are you afraid of? Mother is telling the truth. He can talk, not only coaxing your cousin to his heart's content, but even your grandma is listening to him." Zhang Liu shook the long gown in his hand vigorously. , pouted in displeasure and said again: "Qi'er, you have to pay attention to your mother in the future, don't get close to such a brother, it's spread in the village, but do you think anyone in this family cares?

Not only did they not mind, but they were very precious. They just said that they didn't let them do anything they wanted to do. Your grandma and the others immediately went to help.By the way, mother just boiled eggs, and they are in the pan in the kitchen, go and eat them. "

Zhang Qi frowned slightly when he heard this, and muttered with a little disgust: "Mother, they say I don't like boiled eggs, why are they boiled again?"

"Ah! Mom forgot again, next time, I'm busy today, so I cook it, let's make do with it today, your father went to the city again, and Mrs. Shen came home again Haven't been able to eat well for a few days? Why don't you come back earlier? Mother can cook something delicious for you."

Seeing that his mother started nagging again, Zhang Qi was not very happy to hear this, so he said impatiently: "Got it, mother, I'll go get it right away. It's quieter in the town, so I can concentrate more on reading. How can I study with peace of mind when Little Treasure at home makes such a fuss of running around every day?"

"Don't worry about that. Now there are only mother and son at home, and they are all in the next door." Mrs. Zhang Liu beat the wooden stick loudly, "I'll see what they can really come up with."

Zhang Qi went to the kitchen to get the eggs and came back. He was about to go back to the room and paused again. He turned around and came back and asked hesitantly: "Mother, you just said that the news has spread in the village. What has it spread?"

"Oh, you don't know yet." Zhang Liushi looked disgusted, "It's not the husband of your grandma's precious grandson. A few days ago, someone saw a man coming to look for him at night, yo--that It’s hot, it’s said that they’re from the same village, they’re still talking on the road while it’s dark, and some say it’s right at the door, you think Zhang Ji is not in good shape yet, but he’s so bold that he’s just at home It's too embarrassing to hook up with other men at the door... This matter has been spread in the village a few days ago."

"A man?" Zhang Qi's heart moved, "Is it getting dark?"

"That's right. It's really bold and shameless. I usually look at a pure appearance, but I didn't expect it to be like this." After Zhang Liushi finished speaking, she curled her lips and smiled, "It means that Zhang Xiulian treats people as treasures and didn't ask anything clearly. I hurriedly persuaded your grandma to carry people in, and now it’s like this in the village...I don’t have the face to go out these days.”

The corners of Zhang Qi's mouth couldn't help curling up when he heard that, the grievances of the past few days seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and it was gone immediately. When I arrived at Zhang Ji, what should I say to make myself more happy.

Old man Zhang and the others who were digging holes and digging the ground couldn't help talking while they were busy.

Zhang Ruixiang and the old man Zhang dug the soil, Zhang Xiulian and her mother-in-law Zhang Luoshi followed behind to break up the soil clods and spread them out, and then sow the seeds by the way.

After being busy for a while, Zhang Xiulian couldn't help asking: "Mother, is this really possible?"

"I don't know, but Step-Er also said that he can try it. Anyway, it's just this piece of land, and the seeds are kept by the family. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. It's just a matter of planting less vegetables next year." Zhang Luoshi thinks about it. He replied very concerned, "Anyway, your father and the others are staying, and now they can have a place to exert their strength, so that I won't be annoyed by looking around all day."

When Zhang Ruixiang heard this, he took the time to look back at his mother, and said with a flattering smile: "Mother, it's not very good for our father to be like this. If you are like Shanzi's father, you will be unhappy."

Zhang Luoshi gave his son a blank look, and then glanced at the hard-working husband in front of him: "Did he dare? If he dares to do that, don't even think about entering the house. You can sleep wherever you fall in love."

"I haven't had a drink for many years, so why don't you keep telling the kids about it?" Old man Zhang didn't stay silent anymore, and interjected in a low voice.

"I'll just say what's wrong? Otherwise, you wouldn't have a long memory. Who was it that was so drunk that you couldn't even recognize the door of the house to knock on Zhang Zhang..."

"Okay, okay, how long ago did this happen, and the children are all here."

……

Hearing that her father and mother were about to quarrel over those old things, Zhang Xiulian couldn't help being a little embarrassed and a little funny, because that incident caused a lot of jokes in the village at the beginning, so she had to try her best to hold back her laughter and not forget to stare at that The person who brings up the topic.

Old man Zhang was quite good at drinking a few years ago, and because of their family relationship, there was no shortage of money for this drink, and their daughter, uncle, and husband were still there at that time, and they were filial to the two old people, so the family often had a drink. Have some wine.

That time when the village had a wedding, they happened to sit at the same table with Shanzi's father. In the end, both of them got drunk and recognized the neighbor's house as their own. They knocked on the door for a long time and almost woke up the whole village.It turned out that the two knocked on the house of Deaf Zhang in the village. As the name suggests, he was deaf and lived alone.

Zhang Ruixiang rolled his eyes twice, couldn't help but smiled embarrassedly, and interrupted his parents' "conversation": "By the way, Dad, I see that the flower hunter dug some trees for his stepson and the others again, yes Isn't it for planting?"

Old man Zhang glared at his son who caused the fire, but he still responded, "Probably."

Zhang Luoshi couldn't care less about the past, and his face showed some worry, "These two children don't know what's going on, they do this and that again, and they don't know if it's right or not."

"Whether it's right or not, it's rare that this is what my step-son wants to do. Anyway, I don't want to delay anything now. Otherwise, you want those two children to do it by themselves? If you don't want to do it, go back and cook." Old man Zhang endured Can't help but take the initiative to choke.

Zhang Luo immediately quit, "Is that what I mean?"

"Mom, Dad is distressed. It's fine for me and Dad to do these things. Mom, you can go back first." Zhang Ruixiang interjected, "Although I don't know what the stepsisters want to do, but I believe Brother Yan, There are also many upright men in Hua Orion, how can those people say so dirty."

"That's right." Zhang Xiulian was also very angry, "It's just that some people don't see good things from others. The step-son's health is likely to attract the red eyes of some people. If he spreads such nonsense behind his back, he is not afraid of retribution."

The old man Zhang and his wife frowned at the same time. After a long while, the old man Zhang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about that, work, finish the work early and go back early. Didn't my brother say that the silkworm house is not warm enough? I will go back and talk to the third brother." Say, see if you can make it with mud."

"Your father is right. If people like to talk, just talk about it. Don't argue with those bad-mouthed people. Our family is going straight and right, so don't be afraid."

"Yes, Mom and Dad."

***

Dialect went to check the situation of those silkworms, and saw that the first ones had stabilized and did not appear to die again. After taking care of them these days, he had a little experience, and there were silkworms that were said to be very capable. Bao, later Hua Chunsheng brought back wild silkworms from the mountains twice.

Although some silkworms still died, the situation was better than the first batch, so now they counted three silkworms - 50.

Now I look more energetic and eat normally.

"How is it?" Seeing Dialect coming out of the backyard, Zhang Ji, who was sitting under the eaves of the front yard teaching Xiaojin how to read, asked aloud.

"Well, it's normal, no one was found dead." Dialect answered while fetching water to wash his hands, but at this time Canbao's voice sounded a little out of breath.

[It is said that there is no problem with this baby, but you are just worrying. ]

Dialect ignored its yelling, and walked to the side of the two, glanced curiously at the book in Zhang Ji's hand, and then curled his lips secretly.

Although it is open, it is indeed an illiterate one, and does not know a single word in the book. Although the history of reading in the past is not very good, but I still vaguely feel that the examination system here is somewhat different from that in Huaxia history?

"Want to learn?"

"Huh?" Fang Yan followed the sound, and then met Zhang Ji's smiling eyes, slightly startled, "Oh, if you don't mind this trouble."

Zhang Jiding stared at him for a while, then showed a big smile: "Yes, as long as my daughter-in-law wants to learn, I will teach~"

"...Thank you." Fang Yan smiled, turned to his brother, patted his head and told him, "If Xiaojin is tired, take a rest, and brother will cook for you."

Xiao Jin raised her face and shook her head with a smile: "Brother, I'm not tired!" After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and frowned, trying hard to practice the characters taught by Zhang Jigang.

Seeing his serious appearance, Fang Yan didn't bother him anymore, turned around and went to the kitchen, Zhang Ji watched him leave from the corner of his eyes, and then lowered his eyelids to cover up the flashing thoughts inside.

Unexpectedly, the sound of footsteps could be heard soon again, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to look, but saw that it was the dialect of going and returning.

"what happened?"

"That..." Dialect hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"Just say what you want." Zhang Ji said again with a smile.

[Yeah, you can just say it directly, if you delay it, don't regret it when the spring comes. ]

[Don't rush.Do you think you can speak casually?That's no ordinary thing. ] Dialect yelled in his mind, but he still hesitated on his face. Facing Zhang Ji's expectant eyes, he found that he couldn't speak.

Zhang Jishi changed from smiling to worried, put down the book and walked over, raised his hand to touch his face, then his forehead, and murmured to himself in puzzlement: "Is it tired and uncomfortable? His face is so ugly."

Dialect took a half step back, took a dark breath, and said, "Zhang Ji, do we want to buy some land?"

"Ok?"

"Plant a mulberry tree."

"it is good--"

Zhang Ji opened his mouth to say yes, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
