struggle in ancient times

Huang Zilan collected Sophora japonica flowers and dried them in the sun, and mixed them with flour.

Liao Tingyu was on the sidelines.

Seeing Liao Tingyu's self-conscious look, Huang Zilan smiled and immediately lowered his head to get busy.To be honest, he was really lucky in his life to be able to marry into the Liao family.

The parents-in-law never interfered with their lives, and occasionally urged him to conceive a child when they ate together, while the husband was considerate and did not think that a gentleman would cook far away, and always worked with him.

When someone invited him to the fireworks site, he refused, and the whole town envied him.

Huang Zilan glanced at her husband who was very conscious of washing dishes.

He happily brushed the hair covering his eyes behind his ears.

"What's the matter? You suddenly laughed so happily, did you think of something good?" Liao Tingyu pointed his finger on his forehead mockingly, and wiped a drop of water on it.

"Guess what I thought of?" Huang Zilan wiped off the clear water with his hand, "The water is so cold, yet you wipe it on my forehead."

"I don't feel it. I think the weather is right now. It's the time when the grass grows and the warblers fly. Why don't you and I go for a walk in the suburbs? I remember that there seems to be a temple on the west mountain. It's just right to go to Xu How about a wish?" Liao Tingyu thought about it, and felt that since Huang Zilan married him, he basically traveled between his small home and the town, and the two of them haven't gone out to spend their honeymoon properly.

Why not take this opportunity to go for a walk in the countryside, have a picnic, and then live in the monastery for a few days.

It is said that the peach blossoms in the monastery on the Xishan side bloom very early, and now is the season when they are in full bloom. The peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains, dancing with the wind, is a rare beauty.

Huang Zilan was also aroused with longing: "Then I'll make more delicious food, let's prepare the things. Do you want to call Dad, Mommy, Brother and Sister, after all, there are only two of us, will we be on the way?" It's a little cooler."

Today's Liao's family has enough money and the supply of goods has been opened up as a grocery store with the help of the old man Huang Yujin. After the Chinese New Year, most people have come out to buy things.

Liao Tingyu shook his head with a smile: "This is a good time to sell things. My father, mother, brother and sister-in-law will not go out, and why are you and I deserted?"

Huang Zilan thinks about it and thinks this is the reason. After all, the elder brother and sister-in-law are getting into the eyes of money now, and they will always be the first ones to open the doors on the street and the last ones to close the doors.

No matter how much I tried to persuade them to open later, they didn't listen. It was early, and there wasn't much business, but they just didn't listen.

"Then let's go to Xishan for an outing. We'll bring some pastries, and you can make some lo mei. If you have more, send them to my father and mother." Huang Zilan was thinking about what he would bring to Xishan.

He thinks it is better to bring more food, and bring a few cloaks sewn this year, so as not to catch cold.

He told Liao Tingyu his thoughts to see if there was anything to add.

"We are driving our own carriage. Why don't we add some charcoal to a brazier on our backs, buy some fresh meat and seasonings, and let's do a barbecue. In addition, we will live in the temple for a few days to worship the Buddha, so why don't we prepare a few clothes for washing?" You can change and wash your clothes." After all, it's a picnic, so it's better to have some barbecue or something.

"Barbecue?" Huang Zilan had never heard of this word, and he looked at Liao Tingyu expectantly.

His husband is always so knowledgeable and versatile, especially when it comes to eating. Take the lo mei as an example. In order to make it, he went to the pharmacy to get the ingredients, but the taste was unexpectedly good.

With the premise of lo-mei, he is looking forward to the barbecue: "Then I will wait for Chef Liao's craftsmanship."

"Please rest assured, I will not disappoint Fu Lang." Liao Tingyu pretended to promise Huang Zilan, patted his chest.

"Slick tongue." Huang Zilan was so teased that his eyes almost narrowed into slits, "I'll go ask my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law again this afternoon. If they want to go, we will prepare some more things."

"This is what it should be. It's a pity that my father-in-law went out to do business, otherwise he could have been called together. I don't know what my father-in-law thinks, but he ran outside not long after the Chinese New Year."

"Dad has that temperament. As long as it is a job that can make money, he is always the most active. He doesn't care about it at all, and he doesn't care about his body when he has time." A group of aunts in the backyard lived together, and this year they took care of his new marriage, so they stayed with him for a year before leaving.

"How long will it take to go out for an outing?" Deng asked curiously.

"Soon we plan to live for three or four days." Liao Tingyu said: "Zilan and I plan like this. First, we will go to Xishan for an outing, have lunch, and then go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, eat vegetarian food, and eat two or three Come back someday."

"Traveling, what's so good about it? Don't the mountains and plains all look the same? What's there to see? Burning incense and worshiping Buddha, I remember that our family also went there last time on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year!" Deng said. Shi really has no way to understand his son's thoughts.

The four seasons of the year are basically as they are. Take their back mountain as an example. It is full of fruit trees, and every spring is full of flowers, but isn’t it the same?

She gave up and said: "I can't understand the thoughts of you people who have studied. You two go as long as you want. In my eyes, those mountains, trees, and flowers don't come with this money! His father, you What do you think?"

"If you want to see the second child, you can go by yourself. I have seen enough of the mountains and waters. Why don't you guard my grandson? You two can go and play!" Liao Ming hugged Liao Shi. said his son.

Wen Xiu'er has also become a lot more cheerful and bold these days.

It makes people feel comfortable.

Doing business now makes the couple much more generous: "You two go away for two or three days, so what about your study? Is it just closed? I remember that many scholars have seen your book, will this delay? ah."

Liao Tingyu's books are very famous in the town now. Many poor children borrow books here to copy and read. If they are locked up for two or three days, it may cause inconvenience to many people.

However, he turned his attention to Liao Ming: "Sister-in-law is right, but I forgot, why don't dad help us guard the shop. And it won't delay anything, and you can let my nephew get a bit of cultural influence by the way." .”

"It's nothing. Anyway, we're too busy here. Old man, you can help the second son and the others guard for a while, and bring the eldest grandson there too, and let him impress me with some style. This old lady will come back after being the number one scholar." Deng's favorite thing is to say something nice to his grandson. In the old population, this is called a seal, and if you say too much, it will come true.

Liao Ming nodded and thought it didn't matter, after all, it was a family's place, and he often went to help and knew the way.

So it was settled, the two of them got up early the next day and happily prepared the things to put on the carriage. When they passed by the grocery store, they gave Liao Shi the greasy stewed meat from last night.

In the past, when I saw so much meat and food, I would refuse it, but now I can’t, and I continued generously: "Your craftsmanship is really good. Last time, Auntie heard that you cooked it. At first, he was so angry that he drove the chickens around, and then he ate and laughed, saying that you are capable no matter what you do. Dad still sells it!"

"This food is delicious, but the ingredients are too expensive, and few will buy it. It's okay for our family to eat it once in a while. But this is a craft. In this way, I will give you the ingredients and steps. If an acquaintance wants to buy it, you can sell it to him." Liao Tingyu thought about it and thought it was feasible.

Anyway, you don't have too many skills to overwhelm you.

Liao Shi also thought it was nothing, and he didn't take advantage of his second brother, so he took out a few taels of silver from the cabinet, "This amount of money is definitely not enough, but I have to be considerate."

These are his share for a long time, and he will give it out now without hesitation.

Liao Tingyu nodded, and accepted it bluntly, even if he was not short of the money, after all, Dou Mi Ensheng Mi Qiu.

It is normal to have exchanges: "Then I will accept it, and I will go in and talk to my parents first."

"Ah."

Mrs. Deng is still serving the chickens at home, and the old scalper is grazing leisurely, although they don't need to travel frequently between the countryside and the town now.

The cattle eat a lot, but now they don't need the few pennies, they just need to buy the cattle feed, which is a great contribution to their family, and Liao Ming can still use it when he goes to buy.

"Aniang, you got up so early!" Liao Tingyu picked up the bean dregs and sprinkled them on the chicks, and the chicks ran over in a swarm, and the old cow watched them perform quietly without moving.

"You guys are going to go now, it's okay, just have fun, the temple in Xishan is quite effective. I went there when I was pregnant with you, and the eunuch said that I was pregnant with a golden baby, and I will definitely be appointed an official and a noble in the future." " Thinking of what that person said at the beginning, Deng felt sweet, "I am a hero of the Liao family."

"Yes, the biggest contributor to our family is you. Second child, have you eaten yet?" Liao Ming hugged his grandson's rice cake, the child's eyes were hazy and he kept yawning, while Wen Xiu'er was busy in the kitchen.

"I've eaten. The child hasn't woken up yet. Why don't you let him sleep for a while." Liao Tingyu poked the child's delicate face with his hand. Slap away.

"If you like, give birth to one yourself. Give me the key to the study, old woman, and give the rice cakes you made yesterday to my second husband."

Liao Tingyu looked at the rice cakes, which were fragrant and crunchy, "It's still my mother who misses me, since my father has a grandson, he doesn't want a younger son."

"You should be poor, it's getting late, and it will take an hour for you to go there now." Deng looked at his youngest son who was more and more fond of acting like a spoiled child, and his heart softened.

Liao Ming looked at Deng with disdain: "Just a good word and I'll dismiss it."

Deng's ears are sharp, and he shouted to the kitchen: "Boss, daughter-in-law, there is no need to serve your father-in-law.". . . . . . . . .
