Chapter 94 Visiting the New House
Ling Ran lowered his head and took a big mouthful of food like them. A tear fell quietly and quickly into the earthenware bowl.
He was glad that it was late and they couldn't see his loss of composure.
The Fan family always loved and took food seriously.
Even though life became better after the separation, food was sufficient, and they ate well every day, they still loved and cherished food.
The youngest Fan Hu held the big earthenware bowl, his little head almost buried in the bowl, and he ate the last grain of rice in the bowl seriously, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction on his little face.
He looked at Ling Ran, who had half of his rice left, and shook his head, passing on his experience: "Brother Ling, you can't eat like this. What if you need to fight for lunch with the helpers?"
"Yes, you can't fight!" After the meal, Fan He finally had time to talk and continued.
"I couldn't even grab the food at noon. Fortunately, mother left some food for us, otherwise we would have been lucky to eat half full.
We can only eat half full. If you, brother Ling, go, you will be hungry." Fan Jiang was worried about Ling Ran when he thought about the lunch.
Ling Ran looked at a group of radish heads younger than him, all of whom were worried about him, and he was ashamed.
At the age of fifteen, he was not as good as a child in his teens.
Yan Qiu looked at Shui Qing and suggested: "Mother, I think you should also leave some food for brother Ling tomorrow, otherwise he might not be able to grab it."
Shui Qing looked at Ling Ran, whose handsome face was stained with a faint red by the words of the kids, and said helplessly: "He is our family, eating with us, of course we will leave his share, worrying about nothing!"
Hearing the word "our family", Ling Ran's eyes were hot and he almost couldn't hold it back.
He lowered his head in panic and ate the food in big mouthfuls.
The five children didn't care about what they were told. They turned around and continued to chatter around Ling Ran: "Brother Ling, the food my mother cooks is delicious!
Look at this fried pork with peppers. My mother said it's called twice-cooked pork. The meat is crispy and fragrant, and the peppers are full of oil. Isn't it especially delicious?"
"It's not leeks that are fried with eggs, but chives. Did you notice? Isn't it more tender and delicious than leeks!"
Although he didn't understand what taste meant, my mother often said so, and it was indeed very tender and delicious!
"And the cabbage, after being fried by my mother, is better than others."
Ling Ran thought silently, the food was fragrant and delicious, and it made his stomach warm, but not as warm as this family...
Waiting for Ling Ran to finish his meal, Shui Qing began to arrange the work for the next day.
"Yan Qiu only needs to be responsible for brewing wine now, Xing Hui and Da Jiang will be responsible for helping your eldest sister, and you three only need to be responsible for brewing wine, and you don't need to do anything else."
Yan Qiu quickly responded: "Okay."
Fan Jiang asked: "Mother, if I don't do other things, can I handle the housework?"
It must be easy to help the eldest sister, but now there are many chores at home. Dad and the second brother have to sell rice wine. Who will do so many chores at home?
"Brewing wine is important. As long as the wine is brewed and sold to earn money, how much work can't be done if you hire people?
If brewing is delayed and money is lost, do you think it will be useful to do more and better other work?" Shui Qing asked back.
She wants the children to know what is the most important thing!
When doing things, you must distinguish the key points and know the priorities.
Ling Ran glanced at Aunt Shui Qing in surprise.
Xing Hui was very sensitive and immediately understood what A Niang meant. He nodded heavily: "A Niang, don't worry. I will definitely put wine making first!"
Fan Jiang thought of the money earned from selling rice wine, and that so many people in the family could eat rice, meat and eggs every day. He would have to rely on selling rice wine in the future. He nodded obediently: "A Niang, me too!"
Shui Qing looked at the other people and continued to order: "The family has chickens, rabbits, and cows. Now there are three more piglets. The cows belong to your father to cut grass and feed. He will cut more grass when he gets up early to cut grass. Da Hu, the rabbits belong to you."
Later, she bought four male and four female adult fat rabbits from the mall. Now there are fourteen rabbits in the rabbit pen. Rabbits eat a lot of grass. Fan Hu is young and can't do other things. It's okay to feed the rabbits grass from time to time.
Fan Hu's little head nodded and promised: "A Niang, I will definitely feed the rabbits fat!"
He had eaten it in the restaurant last time. Rabbit meat is delicious!
He still wants to eat rabbit meat.
"Dahe, you and your father go to the city to sell rice wine."
"Ling Ran, wash clothes, cut grass for pigs, mix chicken food and feed chickens. I heard that you can drive a cart?
When your uncle Fan is busy, you drive the cart and go to deliver goods with Dahe. Can you do these jobs?"
"I can do it!" Ling Ran agreed without hesitation.
These jobs are not difficult, and they are not physical or heavy work. Compared with the previous jobs, they are much easier.
If nothing else, at least there is time to rest during the day.
Shui Qing is very satisfied.
As for herself, she is responsible for the three meals a day of the whole family.
Fan Jin waited until Shui Qing finished speaking before he got up and started to clean up the dishes.
The five children also got up, some fetched water, some made fire to boil hot water for washing, and everyone had their own division of labor.
Ling Ran looked at their family's well-organized work style and thought that there was a reason for their wealth.
The parents are harmonious and smart, and the children are diligent and serious. Their lives will get better and better.
Unlike his family, whose wealth and fame are constantly declining...
For the next ten days or so, everyone in the Fan family was very busy.
Busy making wine and selling wine to earn money, and used the money to buy cotton and make big quilts to bring back, cloth to make winter clothes and cotton shoes, candles, fire starters, lamp oil and lamp wicks to stock up;
Bought seven lambs to raise;
Also bought lime... The ox carts were full and full, without any waste.
On the eighth day of the eleventh month, the new house was finally built and ready to move in!
Early in the morning, many people from Shanshui Village who had a good relationship with Shuiqing's family, men, women and children, came.
There was a man who had built the house before and helped move for free.
There was a woman who had helped with the washing before, and continued to prepare wedding food in the kitchen of the new house.
More elderly people and children came to visit the new house.
Sun Jinhua brought her little daughter Fan Zhaodi with her.
She looked at the thick gate of the courtyard, curled her lips and thought about the waste of wood. Why did the farmers make such a thick door? What can the villagers protect themselves from?
She came to the front row of five big houses with the crowd. She saw the bed inside was bigger than hers, and there were wardrobes and chairs. Her back teeth were about to break.
Grandma Xu praised in surprise: "Oh, this is the house for Jiang Hehu's three children, right? It's so grand!"
Li Tiantian asked in confusion: "Strange, there are five rooms in a row, why are there only three with beds and bedding? Can't Yan Qiu and Xing live here?"
Sun Jinhua immediately became excited: "It's right for my son to live in a big house and sleep in a big bed. How can a girl compare with my son!
Need I say more? I'm afraid that the two girls, Daya and Erya, are in some corner"
