Since Liu Chengxiang didn't speak, it was even more inconvenient for outsiders like them to speak.
Granny Liu took her three daughters-in-law to cook, and she was quick to harvest the wheat, so the family kept preparing.
After a while, it was ready to come out fried bacon with garlic sprouts, scrambled eggs, shepherd's purse balls, grilled fish, and cut a plate of salted duck eggs
There are a total of nine dishes and one soup, which can be regarded as a good meal that the farmer can cook.
?Master Li, the servant of the Wang Yamen was just on his way to fill his stomach, but he didn¡¯t expect the food here to taste good.
"There is still some wine at home. It's not a good wine. Would you two adults have some?" Old man Liu asked.
Master Li shook his head, "I have to see the county magistrate in the afternoon. You can't drink, just eat. This bacon is well done, and this table dish, you put your heart into it."
Old man Liu nodded, "That's how the farm meal is, the two adults don't mind."
"It's already very good, thank you Uncle Liu." Wang Yamen smiled and began to eat.
Soon, they had a good lunch, boarded the carriage, and rushed back to the county seat.
Patriarch Liu and others sent Master Li and Wang Yamen away, then came to Old Man Liu, patted Old Man Liu on the shoulder, "Cheng Xiang, you are a good person, your love is worthy of everyone in our village." It's all in my heart."
Liu Chengpeng also smiled sarcastically at this time, "Yes, second brother, in order to distinguish it from your wheat and see how high-yielding your wheat is, I specially planted ordinary wheat. In this way, you The home's wheat yields are astonishingly high."
When old man Liu heard this, he almost died of anger.
His big brother is really shameless.
At the beginning, the eldest brother wanted to take away his two bags of wheat without paying him, but he was not happy, and quarreled because of it.
Liu Chengpeng went to the county town to buy wheat seeds because of the discussion of the people in the village.
But listening to it now, it actually became a highlight of Old Man Liu's high wheat production, as if it was dedicated to providing comparative data to the officials and lords in the county.
"Hey, Cheng Peng, your family wanted the wheat seeds of Cheng Xiang's family without giving money back then. Although you are brothers, the wheat of Cheng Xiang's family was also grown with hard work. It's not natural for you to do that! " Liu Chengnian said with a smile, with a mocking expression.
Liu Chengshu also smiled and said, "Hehe, in the end your family went to the county to buy the best wheat seeds. I heard that they cost eight cents a catty, and they said that the wheat must be able to produce high yields. But we went to see it, and it didn't look like Chengxiang's. The wheat is good!"
If it was before, Liu Chengpeng would have been angry a long time ago, but now the second brother's family has become a big shot in the county. If he can also climb up friendship, the two sons in the county can also have a backer.
Liu Chengpeng smiled and said: "At that time, I was angry. It's not that I didn't give the money, but the family didn't give me the money. Later, my son took the money and bought wheat seeds, but I couldn't help it. No matter what happens now, I will definitely buy it. Keep the money for the wheat seeds, and definitely don't do such stupid things to make the second brother misunderstand. Chengxiang, for the sake of our brothers and sisters, don't bear any grudges against me."
Old man Liu has a stupid mouth, and Liu Chengpeng has said all the good and bad, and he is speechless.
Patriarch Liu couldn't bear the fact that old man Liu, an honest man, was bullied by his elder brother, and said with a smile: "You also said, since we are brothers, your brother's family has a large population, and life is difficult. You, don't think about occupying you all day long." Brother's cheap."
Hearing this, Liu Chengpeng cursed secretly in his heart, we need you old bastards to intervene in the matter between us brothers!
However, even though he thought so in his heart, Liu Chengpeng dared not say it.
"Hehe, Uncle Patriarch, I did something wrong before, and I will definitely change it in the future. Don't be as knowledgeable as I am." Liu Chengpeng said with a smile, flexible, "Second brother, it was my brother who was wrong before, and I apologize to you."
When old man Liu heard this, he finally sighed and said, "I'll just forgive you. From now on, you should act according to your conscience. Otherwise, God will not see it and punish those who are not righteous."
Hearing this, Liu Chengpeng smiled sarcastically, "Hehe, what the second brother said is that it's better to be a down-to-earth person. It just so happens that there are still things at home, so I won't bother you. I'll go back first."
Seeing Liu Chengpeng leaving cheerfully, Patriarch Liu and others patted Old Man Liu on the shoulder, "Chengxiang, there are some things that really don't need to be bothered so much.
Those of us who are elders know that you are a filial, honest, and down-to-earth person. If there is a grievance, just say it, holding it in your heart will only make you angry. "
Liu Chengshu suggested: "That's right, Chengxiang, you are too honest to develop the personality of the family who pushes forward. Don't be stupid in the future, to show filial piety to my old lady, forget about the rest, and take good care of my little family.
In addition, your family's life is better, and you should also think about sending your children to study. Even if it's not for the exam, you can still know a few words. In this way, you won't be blind, at least you will be able to settle accounts, you can also understand the contract, and you won't be deceived. "
When old man Liu heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and nodded, "Thank you brothers for reminding me, I will send my children to study when the autumn harvest is over."
Who doesn't know that reading is good?
In the past, my family had no money, so I didn't dare to think about it.
Now that the family is a little richer, it is indeed time to study and read well, and the whole family cannot be blind.
Patriarch Liu also nodded, "You just need to understand in your heart."
Everyone exchanged a few words and went home.
Old man Liu returned home and sat on the chair all the time.
Send it to a private school, at least two taels of silver a year, it is impossible to send all of them.
With so many children in the family, who should send them to study?
Liu Yiyi had just heard what the patriarch and others said, and she was very happy, and finally she could read and write.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Liu brought a bowl of water to Old Man Liu, and put it on the stone table in the yard.
Old man Liu sighed, picked up the water and took a sip, "Hey, it's okay if there is no one in the family who can read. I want to send the children in the family to study. But you know the situation in our family. It is impossible to send all the children to the school. read."
Granny Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled slightly, "Hehe, although the palms and backs of the hands are all the same, but there is some cleverness in the children, and they are not so clever.
For reading and writing, it is not enough to have a poor brain, but also to be qualitative. In this way, there are only two boys in the family, Shiro and Goro, which is not bad. "
At this moment, Liu Yiyi raised her hand and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I have something to say."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Liu asked with a curious expression.
Liu Yiyi thought for a while and said, "I think it's best for Fifth Brother to study."
"Why? Just because your fifth brother is your real brother?" Mrs. Liu asked with a puzzled expression. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
