an's wife patted her hand and comforted her. " 。"Oh dear, sister, every family has one or two troublesome children. " 。You're doing well, except for this one. The rest of your children and grandchil...This way, there are five sets in the main house and three sets in the west wing.
To the east, there were no houses. Along the wall, a trellis was built, and beneath it, a swing chair was hung along with a table and chairs.
This season, if you plant grapevines, by the summer, you can come in from the side gate of the front and back yard and enjoy snacks while playing under the grape arbor.
The middle room of the main house was slightly larger and lived in by Li Laotai.
The front room is for living and working, with ample space to move around even if someone comes over. It's also where you could do needlework or other tasks. Behind it lies a smaller back room where one sleeps at night.
Next door is Jia Yin's little haven, with a study and activity room outside, and a bedroom inside.
Of course, she is still young and her family doesn't trust her to live alone.
During the day, Shuiyun and Shuiling lived in an outer room on watch duty at night. While He Maama still resided in the ear chamber.
The rest of the rooms were shared as follows: Tao Hongying and Li Laosì had one room, Zhao Yurú and Li Laosān had another, while Jiāhuān and Wénjuān shared a third.
The last three are the backup ones.
After getting married, each of Jiarren and his brothers could choose a house to return to as their home.
Thus, the front yard was inhabited only by Li Zhensheng, who remained unmarried and whose future marriage prospects were unknown, and Li Laodi, along with a group of their unmarried sons and nephews.
After the family had a warm pot wine banquet, Jia Yin accompanied her grandmother and mother to move into the backyard impatiently!
Thus, the family matters were basically arranged, Li Laosi and Li Yong felt relieved and both returned to their barracks.
The lord also sent the steward of the Hou Mansion to deliver food and supplies every few days, but it was rare for him to return once every ten or half a month.
The barbarians from Jiangbei, after a winter of dormancy, began to stir again. The riverside dock needed to be defended, and more importantly, enemies needed to be kept at bay beyond the defensive line.
Easier said than done.
Many times, many people get tired of the monotonous and tedious days, yet they don't know that such days are also what countless people have fought hard to protect with their flesh and blood…
Amidst the hustle and bustle, outside Xindu city, swallows are flying, grass is flourishing, willows are green and flowers are in full bloom.
The most beautiful April day in the world, countless people walked out of the city and flocked to the free and vast plains.
Spring outings, flower viewing, fishing, boating, everyone is indulging in the joy of venting their pent-up grievances from a long winter.
The hot spring valley in Suijin Tan is a great choice!
Soaking in the hot spring, admiring the bougainvillea covering the cliffside, its leaves are more luxuriant than the waterfall, swaying wildly in the spring breeze, extraordinarily enchanting.
I'm looking forward to the orchard blooming soon, it will be a real treat.
Unfortunately, the villagers seem afraid of too much silver biting their hands. They insist on wooden houses or small courtyards and only accept a certain number of guests, with no more than thirty day-trippers allowed each day.
It's so lively that many people want to join in the fun, but there's no room.
Of course, anything that can come in is worthy of praise.
The hot springs are good, the scenery is good, the service is good, the food is good...
In the new village, every household was also very busy.
A few days ago, the Li family wanted to make bean paste, but their back garden had become a new courtyard, leaving no space for the jars.
Of course, Old Li wouldn't be stumped. After all, the gardens of her neighbors, the Ye family and the Cui family, were still there!
Thus, the Li family's jar of sauce was moved to Cui family's vegetable garden.
Today, the weather is beautiful. The sky is clear and blue, pure and flawless.
The spring breeze on my face, not cold nor hot, particularly comfortable.
Such good weather, if you don't do some work, it's really unacceptable.
Old Li brought a basket and led her granddaughter to weed the pickle jars. On the way, she also picked some sprouted scallions from Cui's garden.
Scallions are last year's onions, with a bit of spice. But when paired with freshly washed tender greens on the table and dipped in fried egg sauce, they make a great accompaniment to rice.
Especially the men in the house, all born and raised in the north, just love this taste.
Old Mrs. Li finished raking the jar of pickles and left the lid off, intending to let it dry in the sun for a while so that they would ferment faster.
Jia Yin was curious and casually raked the ground a couple of times. Looking at the bright green scallion leaves beside her, she suddenly felt a pang of hunger.
She pulled a stalk of scallions, rubbed the leaves lightly with her small hand, and ran to the pickle jar, wanting to dip it in some sauce.
The pickle jar wasn't very tall, only reaching Jia Yin's shoulders. She stood on her tiptoes and reached inside, the green onions were just two inches away from the soy sauce.
She tried several times, tiring herself out completely, her little face flushed red, but she still couldn't reach it.
Then, she got angry and with one hand gripping the edge of the basin, she kicked off with her foot...
Old Mrs. Li was squatting, pulling out scallions, when she didn't hear any movement from her granddaughter for a long time. She had a bad feeling and turned around to see her granddaughter's shoes disappearing into the mouth of the soy sauce jar!
She was so scared that she dropped the basket and the onions, rushed over in two steps, and lifted her granddaughter out!
The little chubby girl was white and clean just a moment ago, but now she's become a mess!
From head to toe, covered in soy sauce!
Jia Yin wiped her eyes, still a little dazed!
Who buried the jar halfway underground!
She thought it was only a shallow layer, she never imagined that this pickle jar was deep enough for her to take a bath!
Li Laotai looked at the jar of soy sauce, then at her granddaughter, and for a long time she didn't know what to say!
She wanted to pat her granddaughter, but after searching for a long time, she really didn't know where to start.
Jia Yin also stretched out her arms, like a human clothes rack, letting the daji drip, drip, drip onto the ground.
The grandfather and grandson stared at each other, silent for a long while. The atmosphere was quite awkward.
As it turned out, school was just letting out at that moment.
The mischievous boys dashed out, running home in a swarm. As they passed by the Cui family's backyard, the sparse wooden fence couldn't stop them at all.
A mischievous boy, like he'd discovered a new continent, pointed at Jia Yin and shouted loudly, "Funiu! You fell into the latrine!"
Jia Yin was astonished at that moment…
You're the one who fell into a ** hole, your whole family fell into a ** hole!
Unfortunately, as soon as she opened her mouth, the bean paste smeared across her upper lip dripped down. She instinctively licked it away...
The boys fell eerily silent for a moment, then erupted.
A boy with the loudest voice shouted, "Run! Fu Niuer is crazy, she's actually eating poop!"
"Mother, Funiang ate **!"
“Help! Help!”
The rest of the boys ran and shouted, disappearing in a flash.
Jia Yin's face was ashen. "That boy who screamed for help, are you serious"
Isn't it just falling into a jar of sauce It could even turn you into a zombie who eats you!
She couldn't bear it any longer, slapped her face hard, and finally shouted out, “This is Da Jiang, Da Jiang!”
Unfortunately, the youngsters can't hear them anymore.
Li Laotai's first time not protecting her granddaughter because she was laughing so hard, tears streaming down her face, "Funiu...haha, Funiu don't be angry, grandma knows...hahaha, know it's Da Jiang! Da Jiang!"
Jia Yinqi's feet stomped, splashing soybean soup all over herself.
She's never going to eat scallions again for the rest of her life!
At this moment, He Ma and the others heard the commotion and came over from the back door of Li's house. Seeing the young master like this, they also bit their lips to hold back laughter and quickly stepped forward to help.
Before they could even "bring" the little master back to their neighbor's house, the mischievous boys had already dragged their own mother over...g waved his hand, "Don't worry, he probably hasn't been sleeping well for many days. Now that his mind is relaxed, he'll fall asleep.""What does 'eating and sleeping restlessly for many days' mean" Li...
