When the carriage arrived at Dahe Village, it was already dark.
The orange sunset slowly faded away, the stars and the moon twinkled in the sky, and under the twilight, there were busy farmers.
When they see Cheng Wanwan coming back, the villagers will say hello and talk a few words about home affairs.
Dinner at home has been prepared, and now Wei Hongying is cooking, with Wu Huiniang's guidance. In addition, there is no shortage of ingredients at home, not to mention seasonings, and the food actually tastes pretty good.
As soon as Cheng Yuanyuan got off the car, Zhao Dashan recognized her and immediately greeted her: "Auntie!"
Zhao Sanniu also came forward to say hello: "Why is aunt here?"
They used to go to Cheng's house during the Chinese New Year, and Cheng Yuanyuan would also go there. They met every year, so of course they knew each other, but they didn't know several of the Liu family's children.
"Da Ya Er Ya San Mao, come here, let me introduce you." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "This is your eldest cousin, the second cousin will come back later, and this is the third cousin. Da Ya Fourteen Years old, twenty-year-old, thirteen years old, you decide for yourself whether you are a sister or a brother, after all, wash your hands and eat."
A table of dishes has already been served, just some home-cooked dishes since I didn't know there were guests.
Stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, stir-fried wild vegetables with lard residue, fern egg cake, fungus egg soup, a plate of sliced salted egg yolk, the staple food is not rice, but a bowl of noodles per person, a big bowl full, with a Shredded pork.
Nowadays, the Yu family and He Xiao all eat in the canteen of the old Zhao family. Cheng Zhao and Shen Zheng, the master and servant, have also gone home. The population has dropped sharply, so the food at home is slightly less, but every plate is delicious. It was very rich, and all the dishes were spread out evenly and placed on the dining table in the kitchen, where the three Wei brothers and sisters ate.
A large family sat around.
Cheng Yuanyuan was a little afraid to use her chopsticks. She had a banquet at Cheng's house at noon. Since it was a banquet, it was normal for the dishes to be rich.
But here in Wanwan, an ordinary dinner turned out to be so sumptuous, even better than what the Liu family had during the Chinese New Year.
"Sister, let's eat." Cheng Wanwan took a large piece of meat and put it on the bottom of Cheng's round bowl. "After eating, I have to arrange my work. Only when I'm full can I have the strength to work, right?"
Cheng Yuanyuan picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fat and thin meat between her lips and tongue. The smell of oil and meat filled her mouth, and her eyes immediately turned red.
Ever since she was little, she has given in everything to her younger sister. She has always given good things to her parents' family and given them to her younger sister. She has never expected anything in return.
Putting this piece of meat into her mouth made her realize that her sister was not such a heartless person. It turned out that her sister kept all the good things she did to her in her heart. Now her sister has become a Sui Ruren and has the ability. Forget about her sister...she is really lucky to have such a sister.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
Sanmao put down his chopsticks and quickly wiped Cheng Yuanyuan's tears.
"Mom is so happy." Cheng Yuanyuan quickly pushed back her tears, "Eat quickly."
The three children of the Liu family did not dare to pick up the food. They lowered their heads and ate the bowl of noodles in front of them. They were strong noodles kneaded from white flour, with the unique aroma of flour. Shredded pork was also added to the soup. After swallowing it in one mouthful, the aroma of noodles and meat filled the lips and teeth, full of happiness, and the three children were very satisfied.
"Don't be polite when you come to my second aunt's house. This is your first time coming to my second aunt's house for dinner. You must be full." Cheng Wanwan served the three of them food, "This salted duck egg tastes good, try it." Look, fried meat with bamboo shoots is also delicious. It’s very comfortable to drink a bowl of soup when you’re full. Eat slowly and don’t choke. There are still noodles in the pot.”
Liu Daya stood up flattered: "Thank you, second aunt, no need, really no need."
With his mouth full of food, Zhao Sidan muttered: "Sister Da Ya, you are too thin. Eat more, otherwise you won't even be able to beat me. It's a bit embarrassing."
Liu Daya immediately retorted: "There's no way I can beat you."
She is fourteen years old and does farm work at home every day. She can lift with her hands and carry on her shoulders, and is very strong.
Zhao Sidan quickly sucked the noodles in and put down his chopsticks: "Come on, let's make some gestures."
Cheng Wanwan glared at him: "Let's talk after eating."
Liu Daya sat down, quickly finished the bowl of noodles, drank the soup, and then walked to the yard with Sidan.
Before the people at the dinner table could go out to watch the fun, Liu Daya's painful cry came from the yard: "How is that possible, Sidan, what did you just do to me..."
Cheng Wanwan had a headache. Si Dan, a boy who had learned some skills from He Xiao, even started to bully girls.
She walked out and saw that Da Ya had fallen to the ground. The ground was paved with bluestone tiles. It was impossible not to feel pain after such a flat fall.
She said with a straight face: "Zhao Jingsi, come here!"
Zhao Sidan stuck out his tongue, lowered his head and walked to Cheng Wanwan: "Aren't I afraid that Sister Da Ya won't want to eat? She can't even beat me, so she knows how weak she is, so she will definitely eat obediently from now on."
Liu Daya also came over: "Second aunt, don't blame Si Dan, it's true that I'm too weak, but sooner or later I will be more powerful than Si Dan!"
There was a burning light in the little girl's eyes.
Cheng Wanwan knew that this was a goal, which was also a good thing.
Boys can learn martial arts, and so can girls. Especially if you have a father who doesn't hesitate to do anything, it would be perfect if you have some kung fu.
Cheng Wanwan kept this matter in mind first, and then slowly arranged it after the eldest sister and her family adapted to life in Dahe Village.
After dinner, the Wei sisters cleaned up the kitchen. Cheng Wanwan held her granddaughter in her arms and sat in the yard with Cheng Yuanyuan to talk, mainly arranging the work behind them.
"All the livestock in the backyard are fed by Sanmao. There are more and more rabbits, and two of them are pregnant again. Remember not to feed the rabbits with water, even if there is water on the grass..." Cheng Wanwan Arranged in an orderly manner, "Da Ya and Er Ya will follow the eldest sister to help me open a flower field. I want to use it exclusively for planting flowers."
There are flowers planted everywhere in her yard, but these flowers are landscape flowers, just for appreciation.
Now that we plan to enter the skin care product market, it is essential to grow flowers. The main function of aloe vera is moisturizing and skin care, and it can also whiten a little, but the effect is not that strong. Some flowers are outstanding in this aspect, such as roses and peonies. , jasmine, peach blossom, apricot blossom, etc... At first, only two types of flowers will be planted, and the planting will be expanded after the skin care product market spreads.
If the market is not too optimistic, then these flowers can be used to make new scents of soap. In short, there will be no loss no matter what.
Cheng Yuanyuan looked troubled: "I only know how to farm, but I have no experience in growing flowers. I'm afraid I'll die from you..."
"I can grow chrysanthemums." Liu Daya came over and said, "There is a pharmacy in town that collects dried chrysanthemums. Last year I planted a lot of them behind my yard. They grew much better than those on the mountain. The flowers bloomed very big. The pharmacy He also gave me a few more pennies."
Liu Erya nodded: "My sister is very good at growing flowers."
"This time we mainly plant peach blossoms and jasmine flowers, both of which are very simple." Cheng Wanwan took out a book from her arms, "These are flower planting techniques. It doesn't matter if you don't know the words. You can ask other people in the family. Basically everyone knows Know the words.”
Envy appeared on Sanmao's face. Only two or three people in their village knew how to read. Everyone in the second aunt's family was literate. She didn't know if he could learn to read some...
