The second, chapter forty-two: The world's rise and fal

utinous rice were the staple food for more than ten people in the family. The last half bag of fine noodles was to supplement everyone's diet with something good. 。After all, every household's little...Grandma Wang frowned, a little annoyed, “What's such a big deal Why didn't you tell me sooner New Autumn is also from our Wang family. Although he usually trades for a living, our Wang family has officials and scholars! We are a distinguished family!”

Wang E quickly soothed her grandmother, “I know Grandma cares that we lost our parents early, but we also respect you dearly. We don't want to worry you or disturb your brother and eldest son because of such a small matter…”

“You little girl, you’re being ungrateful…>>> 。Back then, when your father was still alive, he also helped your uncle a lot. 。Your father only has you as his daughter. When he was dying, he entrusted you to me and your uncle. Don't talk about such small things, even if it were a major issue, I and your uncle couldn't just stand by and do nothing. 。The old woman has been attending banquets recently, being held up and admired by everyone, she's become quite confident. 。At this moment, she directly told the midwife to call the third son over. 。Wang San Ye was also in his thirties. Although he usually handled business and chores, he came from a wealthy family and wasn't lacking in elegance and bearing. 。Wang Etong considered this third brother of hers quite close, and had been following him around calling him "brother" since she was a child. 。At this moment, the siblings greeted each other. Having heard that Wang Xinqiu was looking for a school for his younger brother, Wang San Ye felt both amused and exasperated. 。"This is just a small matter, sending the elder brother's post to Luo'an Academy will do." 。"Why make such a fuss When I meet him on the next autumn day, I'll have a few words with him. If there are any difficulties, why not tell me first"Wang E was delighted and quickly thanked her brother, saying, "Master said that Third Brother is very busy lately and can't help out. He also doesn't want to cause trouble for Third Brother." 。If he hadn't been drunk today, I wouldn't have had the chance to sneak over here. 。"Good, that's the way it should be. A family falls apart, making a joke of themselves in front of everyone." 。"Wang Sanye said a few more words, then left." 。Soon, a servant brought over a gilded name card. 。Wang E took it, her face beaming with joy, and repeatedly thanked her aunt. 。Madam Wang had the wet nurse bring up two cut fragrant melons and called out, "Come, let's try some together." 。This is a golden fruit bestowed by the emperor, it tastes really delicious. 。I fell in love with the taste after eating a few of them last summer. 。I didn't think they would still be available after the season, but someone was selling them before Mid-Autumn Festival. Your older brother managed to buy two baskets back. 。" Wang E has also heard of this, so she eats and coaxes the old lady, “Aunt is really blessed. Third brother is truly filial." 。This thing is said to be very valuable, I've only ever eaten jade melon before, I've never even seen this golden fruit. 。“Yeah, I heard it’s from Broken Gold Beach outside the city. I wonder if it’s because of the hot springs, but these fruits and vegetables are especially sweet.” 。“When things are less busy, let’s invite a few of your sisters-in-law and your nieces to go play together,” said Old Madam Wang with a smile. 。"Well," Wang E thought of home and couldn't leave right away, so she coaxed, "But Auntie, there's no need to rush. " 。I heard that the hot springs are scalding in winter. I imagine it would be even more interesting to soak in them while enjoying the snowy scenery when it snows in winter. 。Then, we'll book the hot springs for two days at our place. We won't have to worry about anyone bumping into us and can enjoy it more relaxedly. 。" That's right, we should just wait for the snow to fall..." The old and young chatted for a while longer, and then Wang E said goodbye and left. 。When he got home, Wang Yiwai woke up from his drunkenness. Seeing the name card, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but praise his wife a few times, "Xiaoye, you are really amazing. Not only did you cure my heartache, but you also gave Lig'er a ladder to heaven!" 。A virtuous wife and mother, all women in the world should take you as a role model. 。"

Wang E blushed and quickly waved her hand, "What my husband said is true. He's doing this for you and the child." 。“

Master Wang nodded in approval and said, “Tomorrow I will go to Luo'an Town to see if there are any suitable courtyards.” 。At the beginning, you'll have to work harder and stay with Brother Li for a month or two. Wait until he gets used to it, then leave two reliable maids to take care of him. 。“Don’t worry about home,” Wang Yuanshi said, holding her and comforting her. “Rest assured, the academy is only a dozen miles from Kyoto. It takes less than half an hour to get there by carriage.” 。I often go to see you, and you can also come back often. 。" Wang E thought about it and agreed, nodding her head. She lay in her husband's arms, whispering softly, "That's good then, dear husband, please come visit me and our son often." 。" Of course, Brother Cat is too much of a handful, I'll be taking care of him for now. You just make sure Brother Li is doing alright." 。"Master Wang stroked his wife's hair and said with a smile on his face:" 。The couple were so loving and harmonious that even the maidservant and wet nurse standing at the door envied them. 。But they didn't see that Wang Yuai's smile never reached his eyes...The next day was a beautiful autumn day. In the new village, every household had nothing to do, so they started sharpening their sickles and weaving baskets, preparing for when the grain on the mountain was dried enough to be harvested. 。Old Mrs. Li sat at the doorway of her courtyard, shelling a pile of bean pods. 。In the springtime, bean sprouts were planted around the vegetable garden. Now they've been pulled up to dry and when beaten with a stick, the pods burst open, revealing beans with intricate patterns all over. 。These beans are about the size of a peanut. Soak them in water and then cook them with rice. They're smooth, soft, and delicious! 。Jia Yin followed Grandma, helping for a while before she yawned and ran to the oilcloth mat to lie down and take a nap. 。A chubby little girl, wearing a flowery dress and pants, was leaning on her arm and crossing her legs. 。No matter how you look at this painting, it's endlessly fascinating. Occasionally villagers walk by and can't help but squat down to tease her a few words. 。The sound was too much to bear, so I simply rolled over and pretended to be asleep. 。The autumn wind carried a touch of coolness, tempering the sun's intensity. It was truly refreshing. 。Jia Yin's mind wandered through the space, gathering the chicken, duck, and goose eggs she had saved over the past few days in one place, ready to find an opportunity to slip them into the kitchen. 。In the corner of the courtyard, the fish fry that were put in last year have now grown to be half a foot long. 。These are wild fish from the stream, not as good as the farmed fish that were originally raised in the small courtyard. It's already difficult for them to grow this big. 。Tomorrow, take out a few of them and make a crucian carp tofu soup. It's delicious and good for you, especially for calcium supplementation. 。Her little body, she's over two years old now. It can't always be just getting fatter, not growing taller! Jia Yin secretly pinched her own small belly, imagining herself wearing a cotton-padded jacket and trousers in the winter. She was afraid that she would become like a ball...There are also those few fat pigs, they haven't had a chance to go out and be slaughtered yet. They're enjoying themselves, getting fatter and bigger with ears! 。Even, they freely fell in love... Just last month, they just had two litters of piglets, six in one litter and seven in the other. 。It's been less than a month, and they are all round and chubby, with pink and white fur. They are so adorable! 。But a good voice will not go easy on them just because they are cute! She has already made plans. In a few days, she will select a few young boars to be breeding pigs, and the rest will all be castrated into "eunuch pigs." This is also conducive to fattening, so that by the New Year, two heads can be slaughtered for a feast. 。Speaking of raising livestock, it also involves the five acres of private land behind the yard. 。With so many mouths added to the small courtyard, I'm afraid there won't be enough corn and potatoes left over from the harvest. 。But Jiayin always kept in mind the desire to give these two things to Ye Gongzi, helping Tianwu lend a hand and restore national strength, regain lost territory. 。Although she was just a little girl, Li's family was also a small farming household. 。The affairs of the world rise and fall, it is the responsibility of everyone. 。Without a strong and prosperous nation, how can there be peace and stability for the people!nt melons and called out, "Come, let's try some together." 。This is a golden fruit bestowed by the emperor, it tastes really delicious. 。I fell in love with the taste after eating a few of them last...
