Chapter 68 : 好人做到底
[Be a good person to the end]
The house is narrow and cramped, Uncle Chen wanted to invite people in, but felt it was too shabby, and could only sit with them in the small courtyard.
In the evening, staying in the town overnight and having to solve the food problem, Xiao Lingchuan saw his mother mention eating dumplings when the eyes lit up, silently went out to buy rice and noodles and pork, they prepared food ingredients with the Chen family.
About a quarter of an hour, a short woman entered the house, her eyes were red as if she had cried, and she was at a loss for words when she saw a new face in the house.
“My mom’s child, our Second Dog, has found the main family.”
Second Uncle Chen announced the good news, the host family is kind-hearted and doesn’t mind at all. His nephew can eat, in the future, his nephew can have enough to eat.
“Good, good.”
Second Aunt Chen was not yet thirty years old, her face was waxy and her hair was wrapped in a flowery cloth scarf, she rubbed her hands with the hem of her coat and glanced at the sky, “If the main family doesn’t mind, let’s have dinner at home in the evening.”
“Yes, that’s right. we’ll receive the guests.”
Second Uncle Chen nodded his head and sighed at his own negligence. There was still a small piece of salted meat in the house, prepared to be saved for New Year’s Eve, and now he took it out to entertain people and cook a few more dishes.
Second Aunt Chen nodded and went into the stove room, a few moments later, she went out again with a dead look on her face, today was supposed to be the day she sent out her monthly silver, asking for rice and noodles, the family’s rice jar and noodle bags have been empty for two days.
“Mother, didn’t you say you would buy bread dumplings today?”
Four Happiness, strong, can knead, make noodles, steamed buns, can also fry a few home cooked dishes, but dim sum cakes and pastries, he can’t do it. From childhood to adulthood, only on New Year’s festivals can he eat those, the family also doesn’t have the silver to buy ingredients for him.
“Ma’am, the small kitchen of the Foothills Academy, is in the pantry.”
Xiao Lingchuan often runs to Deer City, occasionally bumped into people from the academy, and heard them complain that the food in the dining hall is the same as pig food, and it is best to bring a page boy with outstanding cooking skills.
The big families cultivated the page boy to accompany the students, fine skin and tender flesh, where they would be able to do these rough jobs.
“I have an idea.”
Li Haitang looked at her own little brother, half a cut shorter than Si Xi, usually eating and drinking poorly, so he will not grow tall in the future. In that case, she looked at her daughter-in-law, how to fix it if she is disliked?
“Sister, what is that look in your eyes?”
Li Jin Hu hugged his shoulders and hid behind Xiao Lingchuan, only peeking out his head. Just now, he had a chill in his heart, and immediately had a feeling that he was a fish on the chopping board and asked,
“Hide what? Can I still harm you?”
Li Haitang hooked his finger at Li Jin Hu, called his little brother to his side and touched his head.
Lu Mountain academy has rules, scholars can’t go down the mountain, but page boy can, young masters’ little servants ordering meals at restaurants, so his own family might as well buy a set of courtyard in Deer City, and let the Chen family move there.
After eating the dumplings, Li Haitang found that Second Aunt Chen works well, so why not take charge of cooking a meal, and then let Si Xi come down the mountain to pick it up. Her little brother can still improve his meals.
The family has a yard in Deer City, Li Jin Hu need not to travel back and forth, otherwise the only two or three days of rest, most of them are wasted on the road. Their time spent together is pitifully small. Li Haitang thought left and right, and felt that her own idea was very reasonable.
