Crossing the green wheat ears

"Brother, I will be a member of our family from now on?" Wei Cheng nestled in Xiyuan's arms, holding the household registration book of Ximingwen's family in his hand. There was a page with Wei Cheng's name written on it. He already knew his name a long time ago. How did you write it? I also know that the family’s grandparents, parents, and elder brother Xiao Wei belonged. Now, his name is also on the family’s household registration, and he is still next to his elder brother. The one behind is Xiao Wei’s. Wei Cheng secretly said in his heart He was proud, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear that Xi Wei would cry when he heard it.

"Well, we will be a family from now on, and you will be the second son of your parents. Xiao Wei will be the last one." Seeing Wei Cheng's happy appearance, Xi Yuan also secretly whispered to him, and was placed behind Wei Cheng Xi Wei was sweating profusely from playing the spinning top at this time, so he didn't care whether he was in the front or the back!

Because he owed Sun Yetian a favor, Xiyuan thought about expressing his gratitude. When it comes to using money, one of the family has no money, and Sun Ye is not short of money. Apart from radish and cabbage, there are corn and potatoes, Xiyuan has a headache!

Do you want to make something for Sun Ye?Well, this method is fine. Sun Ye owns a restaurant, so I will cook him some food and tell him how to do it. This is equivalent to giving him money in disguise.

Xiyuan thought for a while, got up and went to the kitchen, and poured the goat milk squeezed back by his mother in the morning into a big bowl. The family used the money that grandma asked for back from home two days ago, and added another two hundred Wen to buy one. ewe.This ewe had just given birth to a lamb, but the family didn't pay attention to it. The ewe didn't know when the lamb was born in the middle of the night. The lamb itself was weak and froze to death. It was not worth much, so the family planned to sell it, so Xiyuan's family bought the ewes back.

When the ewes were first bought, they were very thin and could not produce much milk. Later, Grandma Wang San asked her to soak the soybeans in water, grind them into soy milk, boil the soy milk and feed it to the sheep when it was lukewarm. Drink, twice a day, even after three or four days of feeding, the ewes will produce more milk.Because the forage that came to Xiyuan's house was good, the ewe's curly hair stretched out, and the cry of "baa-baa" was full of enthusiasm.

Xiyuan poured the goat milk into the bowl, put water in the pot, boiled the water, then put the milk bowl into the boiled pot and steamed it for about 5 minutes, then took out the bowl, After standing on the table for a while, a thick layer of milk skin is formed on the goat milk.

After the creme skin formed, Xiyuan carefully poured the milk under the creme skin into another bowl slowly from the side of the bowl, leaving a little milk at the bottom of the bowl in case the milk skin sticks to the bottom of the bowl.

Then Xiyuan took out an egg from grandma’s east house. Originally, it was cold here in winter and hens would not lay eggs. However, Xiyuan’s family put the chicken in the barn next to the roast chicken this year, maybe because the barn is warmer. , the hens at home have been laying eggs, and a few chicks raised this year have also begun to lay eggs, but not as much as when the weather is warm.Eggs are very precious in winter, and the price is high. Grandma doesn't allow eggs to be eaten casually at home. She saves up eggs and sells them to Judelou when Xi Mingwen goes to Yansui City to deliver food. This is also a current income for the family.

The family still doesn't know that Xiyuan borrowed 200 taels of silver from Sun Ye. Knowing this, not only the grandparents don't want to sleep, even Xi Mingwen and his wife have to worry all night. For them, 200 taels That is an astronomical figure, something I would never dare to think about in my life. If you know that the family owes so much debt, you must have the heart to die.So now Xiyuan is hiding it from the elders of the whole family, only saying that it cost 50 taels.Even so, the family felt distressed enough, and Xi Mingwu and others were all smacking their tongues, thinking that Xiyuan really dared to spend money, but after solving Wei Cheng's matter, the family didn't borrow much, so they were all at ease. .

Xiyuan took two eggs, cracked them, poured the egg whites into a bowl, added a little sugar, beat the egg whites with chopsticks, poured the egg whites into the rested goat milk, and stirred in one direction uniform.Then filter the goat milk egg white with fine gauze, then slowly pour the egg milk liquid into the bowl with the milk skin, cover the bowl with something after the milk skin is completely floating, put it in the pot and steam it for a quarter of an hour and then simmer for 5 Minutes or so will do.In this way, the Shuangpi Nai was made. Xiyuan took out the blueberry sauce that he made in autumn, put some on the Shuangpi Nai, took a small spoon to taste it, um, not bad!

Xiyuan went out of the house and called back the little guys who were playing in the back garden.It's getting dark now, and only the four little ghosts of my family are swinging there.

"Brother, this is really delicious." Xiyang looked at Xiyuan with admiring eyes.Xi Mingwu returned to Yangjiazhuang as soon as he finished his work. It is winter, and there are not many vegetables in each family. It is the golden season for selling tofu. Xiyuan learned to read together.Originally, Xiyuan thought that Xiyong was young, so he didn’t need to follow suit now, but the little guy saw that his brothers were all learning, and he refused to let go. Xiyuan taught him less every time, and didn’t ask him to practice copybooks. Just know how to write.It turned out that the little guy was no worse at learning than his elder brothers. Except that he was too young to hold a pen firmly, he learned to read, read and memorize very quickly. This surprised Xiyuan. Looking at the little guy, Can't you say that there can really be a scholar in the family?

Originally, Xiyuan taught a few children to read and did not place too much hope. He came from modern times and couldn't bear the ignorance of his family members. The elders have nothing to do when they are old. He can teach the younger generation not to be blind As for the examination of merit and fame, Xiyuan really didn't think about it, but he knew that in this era, it is much more difficult to take the examination of Jinshi and Juren than the examination of university in modern times.

But looking at the few radish heads at home, Xiyuan felt that he could make more plans. He was not familiar with the imperial examination system and content of Dayan Kingdom, so he could only give the children an introduction, but When the family conditions are better in the future, I can send my younger brothers to school to receive the formal education of this era.It is true that there is a scholar in the family, even if he is not expected to become an official, as long as the family buys more land in the future and does not need to pay land rent.

Now not only the two boys of the Ximing Wu family and Xiyuan learn to read, but also Xihu, the boss of the Ximing family.When the county magistrate's verdict came down that day, Xi Mingquan was dumbfounded at the time. How could this be different from what the second brother said to him?Xi Mingwu spread his hands and said that he had no choice but to let the county magistrate be an official. He, a commoner, would not dare to fight with the official. The eldest brother's family loves to support Wei Chengcheng.Angrily, Xi Ming stared at Xi Mingwu for a long time, but he didn't say anything in the end.

When he got home, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't like it. Seeing that the two of the second brother's family were staying at the eldest brother's house, he sent his own family over. The older one asked Xiyuan to learn calligraphy, and the younger one followed suit.

Xiyuan didn't say anything, after all, Xi Mingquan still contributed to Wei's second child.In this patriarchal society, the power of the family determines the social status of the family members.If there are many brothers in that family, others will not dare to bully, and they will have enough confidence in what they say and do; but if there are few males in the family, or only one male, they will not have much weight in the village and neighbors.In the past, people in the village didn't take his family seriously because his father and brothers were either not around or they were not in harmony.Although with Xi Mingquan's distasteful character, it's not easy to get along with him, but it's not bad to give the villagers a false impression.Besides, there are grandparents, Xiyuan knows in his heart that the old man doesn't say anything, but in his heart he hopes that his sons can get along well, and he also hopes that his grandchildren will have a harmonious relationship.

The reason why Xiyuan doesn't want to see Xi Mingquan actually has nothing to do with the current Xiyuan.Xiyuan’s illness in the early autumn of last year was not for nothing, but when he led Xiwei to play, he met a tiger from his third uncle’s family. Xiyuan caught a cricket and gave it to Xiwei. The tiger also wanted it, but Xiyuan refused. , Huzi pushed Xiyuan hard, but Xiyuan didn't pay attention, there happened to be a small puddle next to where he was standing. It rained a few days ago, and there was a lot of water in the puddle. When Yuan slid down, he subconsciously grabbed Huzi, and Huzi slid into the puddle with the two of them.Although the puddle was not deep, it was covered with mud on all sides. After climbing for a long time, the two children did not climb up. Their bodies were covered in muddy water. It was already a bit cold, and their bodies were wet again. Xiyuan was shivering from the cold.

Seeing his brother slipping down, Xi Wei burst into tears. While crying, he called his brother and wanted to go down, so Xiyuan stopped him and asked him to call an adult.

At this time, Xi Mingquan happened to go to the field to look at the crops and passed by. Seeing this situation, he dragged his son up without saying a word, ignored Xi Yuan, and left with the tiger in his arms.He thought it was Xiyuan and Huzi Ganzhang who fell in.It was just about dinner time when there were few people outside, Xiyuan climbed for a long time before climbing up, and he was afraid that his grandma would be angry if he found out, so he asked Xi Wei to run home and get him a set of clothes, and then went back after changing.

As a result, he got sick all of a sudden and killed himself, allowing the modern Xiyuan to cross over.It turned out that Xiyuan had been ill for many days. He repeatedly told Xi Wei not to talk to the adults in his family, for fear of disputes. In the past, the third uncle and his father had fought because of local affairs. He was by the side at the time. Big, Xi Mingwen almost didn't put it in the pot. It was noon at that time, and the pot in the main room was stewing vegetables.Therefore, he dared not tell the truth to the adults in his family.

The current Xiyuan didn't know about this at first, but Xi Wei knew it. My brother didn't let him tell the adults, but he didn't say that he couldn't tell his brother himself. So, Xiyuan later learned the actual situation from Xi Wei. .He didn't tell his grandma and grandpa either, saying that the old man can't solve anything except trouble.From then on, Xiyuan ignored Ximingquan when he saw him. Xiyuan felt that he was sorry for the former Xiyuan for treating Ximingquan well. After all, because of Ximingquan's ignorance, the former Xiyuan lost his life.Xi Mingquan has ghosts in his heart, so Xi Yuan treats him like that, and he doesn't hesitate.

Now because of Wei Cheng, Xi Yuan can't care about the grudges he had before.Moreover, if she continued to fight with Xi Mingquan, grandma would feel worried if she didn't talk about it, so let's ease it up if she can. Anyway, Xi Mingquan and he can't get close, just treat them as ordinary relatives.

Huzi didn't want to learn to read from Xiyuan at first, and he didn't resent that Xiyuan was better than him, but the adults at home let him learn.He is stupid, he taught it today, he recognized it for a long time, and he forgot it tomorrow; he was not honest when he was literate, and he always made small moves to influence others. After a meal, the beaten tiger went home crying to find his mother. When the third aunt came to look for Xiyuan, Xiyuan told him that if he wanted to learn from him, he had to listen to him. He was afraid of being beaten and didn't like to learn. Then you You don't have to study!

Xi Mingquan and his wife had nothing to do, now they begged Xi Yuan, and after grinding their teeth with the old lady for a while, they went back.

However, Xiyuan didn't want Huzi to influence Wei Cheng and the others, so he also absorbed Wei Cheng's other friends, Cheng Nan and the others, and divided them into morning and afternoon. Teaching Huzi, Cheng Nan, Zhao Lin, and Xie Mingli is called different progress and cannot be taught together.The adults of those families were so happy that they all brought their children to visit Xi's house with their belongings. Although Xiyuan didn't ask any of the children to be apprentices to him, the little ones still regarded Xiyuan as a brother and a teacher in their hearts. to look at.

Huzi didn't dare to make trouble when he was in class with Cheng Nan and the others, because the other children would not let him go like his cousins, and Cheng Nan told his father Cheng Yi when he went home that Huzi was dishonest in class Cheng Yi picked a few little guys to come to Xiyuan's house during class, and deliberately reached out and nodded Huzi's head, telling him to behave in class, otherwise he would clean up Huzi, and Huzi would be honest as soon as he heard it. But those who are more afraid of Cheng Yi, this is the so-called villain has to be tortured by the villain.

Because there are classes in the morning and afternoon, Xiyuan has less free time now, but it is winter leisure now, and there is nothing to do at home.

Because there are many children, no matter how good the delicious food is, Xiyuan will depend on the situation. The more common and inexpensive ones should be made more, and each child will share some. Rare things like double-skin milk have to be taken advantage of. Do it when there are few people, and only distribute it to a few little guys in the family.Several children ate sweetly.

The next day, Xiyuan got up early and made another Shuangpi Nai, put it in a bowl and put it in a food box made by Xi Mingwen, as well as the recipe of Shuangpi Nai and a small jar of blueberry sauce.

Blueberries were accidentally discovered by Xiyuan when he released ducks and geese in summer, and there were not many. In autumn, he picked blueberries and made a small jar of blueberry sauce, and gave them to a few little guys from time to time. Ye also gave up.

The author has something to say: By the way, my brother fried a small pot of soybeans for Xi Wei, and Xi Wei pinched two small handfuls and put them in his pocket, but there was a small hole in Xi Wei's pocket, Xi Wei didn't know , After loading the soybeans, Xi Wei ran out to find friends to play with. Xi Wei ran a step and leaked two soybeans, and ran a step and leaked two. When Xi Wei found a playmate in the village, he wanted to pinch two soybeans and put them in his mouth When eating, by the way, greedy for other children, Xi Wei put his hand in his pocket, huh?Soybeans?Beans? ... Why did someone have it?

Is it purple? ...
