"Hey, that's good."
Lu Xingping responded, quickly took two radishes from the kitchen basket and ran out.
Xiaozhu also wanted to help with something. When he saw Lu Xingping running towards the water tank holding two radishes, he hurriedly stepped forward to scoop water from the water tank into the basin and wash the radishes for Lu Xingping.
Lu Xingping looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile, "Little one, you really can't sit still."
Xiaozhu's voice was very low, "It's not that I can't stop, it's just that I'm used to it."
After hearing the little girl's answer, the smile on Lu Xingping's face suddenly froze, and his tone softened, "You don't have to be so cautious in our house. We have a big family and we don't care whether you, a little kid, can do the work. From now on. Just call me second brother, and Xing'an is third brother. If anyone bullies you, go home and tell us, and we'll keep him until he's beaten."
Xiaozhu looked at Lu Xingping and blinked, "You are all children, can you survive the beating?"
"You underestimate us too much. Brother told us before that even if we can't defeat him, we can still outsmart him." Lu Xingping snorted, "Then the three of us will cry together and we will annoy them to death."
"Pfft! Hahahaha..."
The little girl held her belly and leaned forward and back with laughter.
Lu Xing'an, who was in the room, heard the noise outside, stretched his neck and said, "Lu Xingping, please stop embarrassing yourself in front of Xiaozhu. If you want to cry, just cry on your own. I can't afford to embarrass this person."
Lu Xingping rolled his eyes, "I'm not doing this to be embarrassed, it's a strategy, do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Lu Xing'an immediately replied, "Also, don't say that my elder brother taught you this when you are outside. My elder brother can't afford to shame this person, so don't bring trouble to him."
Lu Xingping snorted and ignored Lu Xingan.
"Little one, we don't know him the same, he has a very stinky face."
The little girl nodded solemnly, her little shoulders shrugging, feeling uncomfortable.
Chu Yue and Yun Cuihe, who was packing their things, looked at each other with suppressed smiles in their eyes. Xingping, this monkey, was really the happy fruit of the family.
Chu Yue put the chicken wrapped in batter into the pot and asked, "Mom, our chicken hasn't hatched yet?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon. Tomorrow will be the 20th."
"That should be in the next two days."
Yun Cuihe nodded, "We still have 12 of the 20 chickens we bought last time. They can last for a while. When these are eaten, the chickens will be big."
After saying that, he continued to cut the radish in his hand.
At noon, we fried chicken and radish meatballs, picked out a small bowl of the sweet and sour radish that we had soaked last time, and then the family went to the table to eat.
The crispy and greasy fried chicken and the refreshing and delicious sweet and sour radish are a perfect match. Zhang Zheng praised while eating, "The taste of your pickled radish is also different from others. It's delicious."
He suddenly felt that it would be a pity for this girl not to open a restaurant with her cooking skills and original ideas.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Master, it's fine if you like it. I've soaked three jars of these radishes, which is enough to eat for a while."
Originally, she wasn't sure how the soaked radishes would taste, but now everyone seems to like them. After the radishes in the new house mature, she can soak some more.
This was Xiaozhu's first time to eat fried chicken. She hugged Yun Cuihe and tore the chicken drumsticks for her, and her mouth was full of oil. But after eating one, she felt full. She could have eaten a bowl and a half of porridge, but today she only had enough food for lunch. After half a bowl, I couldn't drink any more.
"Is the child okay?" Yun Cuihe looked in Chu Yue's direction with some uncertainty.
"Xiao Zhu usually eats light food, but if he suddenly eats some greasy meat, it's normal for him to feel full quickly. Mom, don't worry." She said, pouring the remaining half of Xiao Zhu's bowl of porridge into her own bowl.
Nowadays, brown rice is sold for twelve cents, and rice is probably sold for more than fifteen cents. It is expensive and cannot be wasted.
Yun Cuihe felt relieved after hearing Chu Yue's words.
After eating, Chu Yue spread out the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers that Lu Xinghe picked in the town in the morning on a bamboo plaque. After sorting out the impurities, she placed them in the yard to dry. After the water dries, they can be sealed and stored in a jar. , at least it won’t be bad this winter.
After doing this, she went to the main room to report to Zhang Zheng about the pulse condition and changes in the condition of Mrs. Shen for the follow-up examination today. While listening to Zhang Zheng's analysis, she listened to his explanation about the connection between the muscles, veins and acupuncture points of the human body, until Yun Cuihe shouted The two had dinner before getting up and going to the kitchen.
"Mom, why don't you call me when you're cooking? I can help you too."
Yun Cuihe smiled and said, "You are studying with Dr. Zhang, why should I delay you? With Xingping, Xing'an and Xiaozhu helping me, cooking a meal won't be that difficult."
The family ate, ate in the yard, then washed up and went to bed.
For the next five days, Chu Yue went to town to give Mrs. Shen acupuncture as usual. On the fourth day, she was awake, but her body was still a little stiff.
In the past few days, Shen Zhixue did not go to the door of Shen Mansion to greet Chu Yue. But every time when Chu Yue was treating Mrs. Shen, she would lead her maid to deliver a cup of tea to Lu Xinghe who was waiting in the front yard, and would not talk to him. He chatted, only brought tea and left.
Lu Xinghe felt a little baffled. He had never drank the tea sent by Shen Zhixue. He only drank the tea prepared by Butler Li.
After returning home that day, Lu Xinghe led the mule to Sanmao's house.
Sanmao's surname is Sun. He is the third child in the family, so he named him Sun San. Because he had little hair when he was young, people in the village are used to it.
"Sanmao, are you ready for my mule cart?"
"Xinghe is here. The mule cart was completed early this morning. I was thinking of sending it to you." Sun San hurriedly stepped forward to open the door and welcomed Lu Xinghe in.
The mule cart was too big, so it didn't rain that day, so he put it directly in the yard. However, when he was busy with other things in the morning, he would take a look at the yard from time to time. After all, the mule cart was The wood was bought at a high price of 1,800 wen. If someone stole it, it would be difficult to deal with it.
Lu Xinghe came to the mule cart and checked it. After making sure that there was no problem with the mule cart, he paid Sun San 200 yuan as wages, hitched the mule cart to the mule, and hurried home.
As soon as they got home, the three children gathered around the mule cart and watched it with curiosity on their faces.
"Brother, is our mule cart safe?"
"I pulled it back because it was safe."
"Then can we sit on it and give it a try?" Lu Xingping's eyes were full of expectation.
Lu Xinghe looked at the little ones in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little amused. Then he thought about Lu Xingping and Lu Xing'an, brothers who had never been to Nanping Town before they were so old, so he said, "Today, I have taken the mule to the shed. I will wait for your sister-in-law tomorrow." I’m going to town for medical treatment, so you three should go with me.”
Lu Xingping jumped up and down in excitement, almost knocking down Xiaozhu beside him.
