Sheng Guoer was very happy to see that her sister had actually developed a natural insecticide. Li Langzhong was also very pleased. In this way, he could be considered successful in his teaching.
"It's yours, not bad, not bad!" Li Langzhong stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The most important thing now is how to improve it. The insecticide you are waiting for still lacks some neutralizing drugs, otherwise it will harm the human body. "
Lin Muyan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir for your advice. Please teach me."
The other brothers and sisters all came around with smiles and praised Xiao Tao for her intelligence. Xiao Tao was as happy as a flower and looked at her sister Sheng Guo'er, expecting her sister to praise her.
When Sheng Guoer saw that everyone was surrounding Xiao Tao and praising her, the anger in her heart dissipated and she gave Sheng Xiaotao an approving look.
When Xiaotao received her sister's approval, she felt more joyful than getting any treasure, so she ran to her sister and acted coquettishly.
"Sister, you have to reward me well!" Xiao Tao said ghostly.
Sheng Guoer smiled in her heart and said: "My younger brother and sister really have two personalities. Sheng Shi is more honest and responsible. Although he is smart, he is not as creative as Xiao Tao. Xiao Tao is lively and quirky, but lacks the steadiness of Sheng Shi. This The two brothers and sisters really complement each other.”
Looking at Sheng Xiaotao's eager eyes, Sheng Guoer said, "Okay, okay, how about buying you a new dress?"
"Okay!" Sheng Xiaotao jumped up happily.
Sheng Guoer took Sheng Xiaotao to say goodbye to Mr. Li and go back to celebrate the festival, and would come back to continue her studies after the New Year. Mr. Li readily agreed and said that the medical center would soon give students a holiday, so Xiaotao could go back early.
Before Sheng Xiaotao left, she went to find Lin Muyan.
"Senior brother!" Sheng Xiaotao asked softly, "Will you go to Dongxiang Village to play with me?"
Lin Muyan felt that he had been tortured enough by Sheng Xiaotao, and he said, "I still have something to do..."
But when she saw Sheng Xiaotao's cute appearance, Lin Muyan recalled that she and Sheng Xiaotao had had happy times, so she felt a little unbearable in her heart and said, "I will visit you when I have time."
Xiao Tao smiled and said, "Then you must come!"
Lin Muyan nodded.
The Sheng sisters left the hospital and passed by a tailor shop on their way back. Sheng Guoer got out of the car and led Sheng Xiaotao to buy a small red cotton-padded jacket and a white scarf.
"It's cold, please wear more clothes." Sheng Guoer put on winter clothes for Sheng Xiaotao with concern, "In the hospital, I saw that you all wore winter clothes quite simply."
Sheng Xiaotao replied: "Sister, although it is simple, it was sewn stitch by stitch by my wife. We all like it very much."
Seeing that her sister had not forgotten her roots, Sheng Guoer was very happy and said, "Yes, I also think my sister's original clothes are beautiful now. They were made with love and were not mixed with any profit elements."
"Sister, you are right!" Xiao Tao then talked about Mr. Li's matter. Sheng Guoer included the tuition fees of all the students studying with Mr. Li. Mr. Li did not touch it, but spent it all on theirs. He bought them books and gave them good food. Mr. Li also saved the remaining tuition fees for the children, gave each of them a banknote, and said that if they needed it, they could go to the bank to withdraw the money themselves.
Mr. Li also said that the students’ families are not rich, so they can save money if they can. This money is their living expenses and there is no need to give it to themselves.
Mr. Li has his own pharmacy, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. He just wants to teach a few more useful people to help the people, so Xiao Tao is still living a good life in the hospital.
But the frugal habit she developed since she was a child left Xiaotao with a lot of money left.
"Sister, this is the remaining money I have. I'll hand it over to my family!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Tao took out a small money bag, which was full of copper coins.
Sheng Guoer declined: "No, you can keep it. The family is not short of money now."
Sheng Guoer was telling the truth. The money she had accumulated before was enough to last for a while. Winter has arrived, and Sheng Guoer also wanted to live a good New Year in a down-to-earth manner. To be honest, she has been busy in modern times, even during the New Year. She was tired from having to fight with a bunch of tricky relatives.
It was rare to have such a warm family back in ancient times. Sheng Guoer really wanted to spend a real New Year happily.
Therefore, Sheng Guoer felt that living a leisurely life in ancient times was quite delicious.
Unknowingly, the carriage arrived at the village. Sheng Guo'er gave Tie Niu some money, but Tie Niu didn't want it. Sheng Guo'er said, "This is for Grandma Wang. It's the festival, so you just say it's Guo'er who honors her."
Seeing that he could not refuse, Tieniu had no choice but to accept.
After returning home, Mrs. Shen, who had not seen her little daughter for a long time, hugged Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao acted coquettishly in her mother's arms.
At this moment, Tieniu's parents, Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu, came to Sheng's house with two old hens and a basket of eggs.
"Sister, you don't welcome guests when they come!" Third Aunt Chu is a loudspeaker. She works very fast and is a firecracker, but she is generous and has a good heart.
"I told you to come, just come. What else do you need to bring?" Mrs. Shen politely let the two people in.
"Third uncle and three aunt!" The Sheng family siblings stood up to say hello when they saw Third Uncle Chu and his wife coming.
"Sit down, sit down!" The third aunt took Sheng Guo'er's hand as if she was at her own home and said, "Guo'er, what are you doing? You gave Tieniu so much money last month. The wages in the workshop are enough.”
Sheng Guoer said: "Third Aunt, isn't this the holiday? I've also asked them to close the workshop. Besides, winter is also the off-season, so I'll simply let everyone rest and wait until next spring."
The third uncle said: "Yes, everyone praises you for your benevolence and righteousness. During these nine cold days, Song Silang has to go to the village to work in the blacksmith shop. The owner of the blacksmith shop is really not a human being. He makes people work during the holidays!"
Sheng Guoer said: "Who told us that we don't have iron? I want to go find Mr. Meng and look for iron ore in our mountains. If we have iron in the future, we will have a better way out."
Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "It's not that easy. Let's talk about it later. Today is the holiday, so we won't talk about it anymore."
Then Shen said to Third Uncle Wang: "His Third Uncle, call Tieniu and my aunt over, and then call Lao Ma's house, and let's celebrate the festival together!"
Uncle Chu said: "Hey, this can't be done. I have to go to Majia Gangzi."
Sheng Guoer was a little surprised: "Third uncle, why are you going to Majia Gangzi for the holidays?"
Uncle Chu sighed and said, "Hey, don't mention it."
Aunt Chu took over the conversation at this time and said: "Since the establishment of the fruit workshop, our family has some spare money, and we are thinking about starting a pickle business. It is winter and we can sell some pickles. Who would have thought of this?" Third Aunt Chu spat at her husband, and then said: "He drank too much and peed on the pickles that were ordered, and everything was ruined!"
Sheng Xiaotao couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
Mrs. Shen glared at Sheng Xiaotao and said, "There are no rules!" Sheng Xiaotao quickly shut her mouth.
Third Aunt Chu sighed and said, "So he thought about going to Majiagangzi to see if the passing merchants still had some vegetables to sell!"
Sheng Guoer pondered for a moment and said, "Third uncle, how about I accompany you? There is a shopkeeper named Wang over there who has some friendship with me. Let me see if he can help me!"
When Aunt Chu heard this, she immediately patted her thigh and said happily: "Oh, that's a great feeling!"
Third Uncle Chu said with some embarrassment: "This, this is so embarrassing! You both contributed money and effort."
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Hey, we are all fellow villagers. Why do we help each other? Besides, Tieniu doesn't want to drag me to the countryside? This little help is nothing. Besides, it's hard to say whether we can help each other!"
The reason why Sheng Guoer did not provide greenhouse vegetables to Uncle Chu was firstly because the pests had not been eliminated, and such vegetables were unavailable and unhealthy. Secondly, Shengguoer also wanted to see the market. This ancient Dasheng Dynasty In winter, is it true that we can only eat pickled vegetables without fresh vegetables? If there are fresh vegetables, what is the price?
Since there isn’t one in the countryside, let’s go to Majiaggangzi to have a look.
After making up her mind, Sheng Guoer made an appointment with Third Uncle Chu to go to Majia Gangzi to take a look tomorrow.
The winter solstice is an important festival in the Northeast. Because of Sheng Guo'er's help, Third Uncle Chu's heart was relieved, so Sheng Guo'er called all the close neighbors such as Lao Ma's family and Lao Chu's family.
Mrs. Shen, Sheng Guoer and Third Aunt Chu were busy in the kitchen, while Sheng Shi followed Uncle Chu and Tieniu to chop wood and collect straw.
Grandma Wang is getting older, so she can only help everyone pick up the melon seeds while instructing Xiao Tao and Chun Hua to clean up the house together. Xiao Tao and Chun Hua are naughty, playing and cleaning up at the same time, which makes Grandma Wang want to criticize but feels that she can't say harsh words because of the festival. , can only say: "If you make trouble again, little girl, be careful that the Stove Lord will sue you and turn you all into little flower dogs!"
Xiao Tao and Chun Hua quickly restrained themselves after hearing this. At that time, people respected the gods very much.
The kitchen room over there was very lively, and the sound of cooking could be heard all the time.
To celebrate the winter solstice in the Northeast, how can we miss out on stew in an iron pot? So Sheng Guoer asked Sheng Shi to dig a big hole in a table, put a charcoal fire underneath, and surround the charcoal fire with fire bricks. Then, with everyone's surprised eyes, he placed a large pot on the table with the big hole dug out. The charcoal fire was licking the bottom of the pot, and there were ribs and some pickled vegetables stewed together in the pot.
Then Sheng Guoer kneaded the noodles into several pot stickers, and then stuck them in the pot one by one along the edge of the pot.
After the special dishes were served, everyone felt very fresh.
"Sister, what is this?"
On the table were steaming hot pot stickers, fresh toon sprouts scrambled eggs, Sheng Guo'er also made a pot of pork. Some dishes, especially this pot of pork, were good dishes that no one had ever tasted.
Sheng Guoer makes old-fashioned pot-wrapped pork, which is crispy and fragrant with a hint of sweet and sour.
Sheng Guoer said: "Everyone, wait a moment. There is another Demoly fish stew. It will take some time. I will go and ask for Mr. Meng."
OK OK! Everyone said: "We will wait until Mr. Meng arrives before we start the banquet!"
After Sheng Guoer got dressed, she went out to Mr. Meng's house with a smile.
Walking through the snow, Sheng Guoer arrived at Meng Xingzhou's residence. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside. One of the old voices was particularly harsh: "You traitor!"
