Chapter 277

Cheng Sheng coughed, and took out another tightly wrapped thing from his arms, but it was not handed to Luo Mingdu, but to Luo Tiandu: "I went to Pakistan last month. In the Xun Mansion, there is a businessman from a colleague’s family, who just bought a batch of bird’s nest, he is usually close to me, so he specially found a few taels for me, just for the young lady and the big lady to use to replenish their health.”

Luo Tian took it over, weighed it, and reckoned it was worth two or three taels. She knew that bird's nests were expensive, and ordinary people would have nowhere to buy them even if they had money. Cheng Sheng seemed to say it so easily, maybe it was It took countless painstaking efforts to make such a little thing, Luo Tian didn't dare to accept it, but said: "Brother Cheng Sheng, this is too expensive, I dare not accept it."

Cheng Sheng said: "It's not a very expensive thing. Even a rough person like me can't get used to this kind of thing. You can take it and give it to the lady to make up for it."

Luo Mingdu also said: "Brother Cheng Sheng, Xiang Lan is pregnant, you should save it for her."

Cheng Sheng smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is not young. Last time, Dr. You said that she is not allowed to make love. If she wants to make love, she will have to wait until she gives birth to my little nephew. Then I will look for me again. The colleague bought some back, don’t be polite, ma’am.” After speaking, he was afraid that Luo Ming would refuse, so he added, “Dr. You said this is the best way to support people, you should eat well.”

The two spoke in the same tone as usual, but Luo Tian felt that there was something different between the two of them. She touched her chin and thought deeply.

Luo Ming hesitated for a moment, and then stopped talking. Cheng Sheng seemed to be happy now, and turned his head to look at a few dirty monkeys lying on the ground playing in the distance. He had also heard about the matter of literacy, and asked with a smile, "Is this the young lady's new pupil?"

Luo Tian didn't dare to take the credit alone, and said modestly: "Brother Cheng Sheng, don't say that, Mr. Qin is the one who taught them how to read, and I'm just joining in the fun."

Cheng Sheng laughed, and gave her a thumbs up: "I have seen the ability of the little lady, and it is more than enough to be a lady."

He stayed in the military camp all year round and rarely came back. Luo Zijin was not familiar with him, so he leaned against Luo Mingdu's legs with a small ball in his arms and stared at him curiously with his big shiny black eyes.Cheng Sheng always liked Luo Zijin, seeing his appearance, he liked him so much, he bent down and hugged him on his neck, and started to run in the yard: "Oh oh oh...boy Jin flew up. "

Luo Zijin was frightened by him at first and hugged his head tightly, but after running around for a couple of laps, he was no longer afraid, and pulled his hair and giggled, having a great time.

Luo Tian knew that Cheng Sheng had always been reliable in his work, and he was not afraid that he would fall on Luo Zijin. Seeing that they were having a good time, they decided to help out in the kitchen. Halfway through, he thought of something and went to work again. Turning around, he asked, "Brother Cheng Sheng, there is fish at home today, do you like braised in soy sauce or steamed?"

Cheng Sheng supported Luo Zijin's two fat legs without raising his head, and said, "Let's braise it in soy sauce, add more ginger, garlic and pepper."

Luo Tian responded, and then went to help in the kitchen.

The fish had already been cleaned up. Luo Tian took one of the bigger ones, fried it slightly, and stewed it in a pot of crucian carp tofu soup, and the other four were slightly smaller. According to Cheng Sheng's taste, they were braised with ginger, garlic and chili. .

The two little tits were too small and had no meat. They plucked their feathers and cleaned them. They were stewed in a pot over low heat. If Xiang Lan was hungry at night, they could still eat them. As for the piece of wild boar that Cheng Sheng brought , fried two bowls, chopped the others into small pieces, and stewed a pot with the aged sauerkraut pickled by myself.

The staple food is pasta, and a small pot of rice. Fang and the others eat bread, and Luo Tian eats rice.Probably because of the hard life in Luojia Village, Fang always felt that he had treated his two little girls badly. Now that the family situation is better, Fang has never been short of sisters Luo Tiandu and Luo Tiandu when it comes to food. Tian couldn't get used to pasta, so Fang would steam a pot of rice for her every meal, never bothering her.

The meal was about to be cooked, and Luo Baisu also came back. The timing was just right, and Luo Baisu followed Dr. You with a small bag of medicinal herbs in his hand. The two met on the way, and they happened to come back for dinner together.

Now that there are too many people eating in the Luo family, they divided the tables. Fang led Luo Tiandu, Luo Mingdu, Xiang Lan Xiqiao and the new wives, Luo Baisu and Liu old man Cheng Qing and the others. Today, a few more elementary school students were added, so Ding Wu led the children to open another table. The meals were all the same, so as not to make them feel uncomfortable eating with adults around.

Those children used to be hungry all the year round, but this year they managed to get enough food to fill them up, but after all, they are poor and poor, and the villagers are used to being frugal, so they just bake two extra pancakes on weekdays. Or when cooking porridge, put two more handfuls of rice. Never was it like the Luo family, where there was plenty of meat and fish for people to eat. When the children came, they all brought dry food, but they couldn't resist it. The food was really delicious, and there were no adults around to stare at me. After a little restraint, I soon let go of my stomach and started eating.

Luo Tian was worried at first, and was distracted to take care of him there. Later, seeing that Ding Wu was taking good care of him, he didn't care.

Fang was also very happy to see the lively family, and looked at Lan, who was getting more pregnant now, and said, "Are you feeling okay now?"

Xiang Lan's pregnancy was quite peaceful, much better than when Fang was pregnant with Luo Zijin, and said, "The one in my stomach looks pretty cute, and I didn't make much trouble, just ate a lot."

Fang said with a smile: "You can eat as long as you can. Now you are eating for two alone. You should eat as much as you want. If you want to eat, just tell me or Xiaodu directly. Don't be afraid of trouble. Now the family is not the same as before. If you want to It’s still affordable to eat something.”

Xiang Lan rubbed her belly and smiled, "Okay, with Madam's words, I will say it even if I'm hungry in the middle of the night."

When she said this, everyone laughed, and Luo Tian remembered that when Fang was pregnant, he often woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to eat this or that on a whim, and after making it for her, he stopped eating. A full toss.

When Luo Tiandu and the others were talking, the new daughters-in-law lowered their heads and ate in silence, envious in their hearts.They have been in the Luo family for a few months, and they know that Xiang Lan and Cheng Qing used to be slaves to the Luo family, but looking at it now, the Luo family doesn't regard them as human beings at all. Like a family, it would be great if I could get rid of my slave status in the future. As long as I get rid of my status as an official slave, there are so many wastelands here, and Luo Baisu is dedicated to the people. After two years of hard work, how many years? Open some fields, and then the family can live in peace with two acres of land saved.

Fang is also really happy for her and Cheng Qing: "Oh, when you were in Luojia Village, you hadn't come to our house. At that time, the family was poor, and the child's father was outside all year round. Thanks to Cheng Qing and Jiang Xia Yes, otherwise I don’t know how to live that day. Jiang Xia became a relative a few years ago. Although I haven’t had much contact with that place in the past two years, I reckon that most of them have added two children. Now you have a body , and Cheng Qing, the better, it can be seen that God is still fair, and good people are rewarded with good rewards."

Xiang Lan hurriedly smiled and said, "I heard from Ah Qing that when he and Ah Sheng were in a disaster, they followed the refugees to Huaxi. Just like a family, Ah Qing always told me not to forget the kindness of the uncle and wife."

Fang said: "What kind of favor is it? You and Cheng Qing have worked so hard to follow us all the way to Yi County. My uncle and I will keep this kindness in our hearts. Now as long as you and Cheng Qing live well, I will thank you." I'm happy, thinking back then, that Axiu was picking on Cheng Qing..."

Fang wanted to say that Axiu had no discernment back then, and she also disliked Cheng Qing for being so blind, and refused to marry him, so Luo Tiandu coughed and interrupted her: "Mother, let's live happily here, why don't we marry him?" Why do you bring up those things before? If you don’t tell me, I’ve forgotten, and Brother Cheng Qing must have forgotten too.” She really forgot about Axiu, if Fang didn’t mention it suddenly today, she wouldn’t be able to remember at all when she was at home There is such a person.

Fang probably also knew that she had said something wrong, so she looked at Xiang Lan with a puzzled expression, and the other daughters-in-law also had blank expressions, and hurriedly said: "That's right, it's better if we get over it now, I'm always It's really useless to look through those old almanacs. Come, come, come, everyone, eat more vegetables." After speaking, as if to make up for his own mistakes, he scooped up a big bowl for Xiang Lan Fish soup, said, "This is made by Xiaodu. It doesn't smell fishy at all. It tastes very fresh. Try it."

Although Xiang Lan was a little puzzled, she didn't say much. She drank a spoonful of soup according to Fang's words, and said with a smile, "Young lady's craftsmanship is naturally good."

There was meat, fish, and fresh soup. This meal was very enjoyable. Even Luo Tiandu added an extra bowl of rice. After eating, he was a little full. He walked back and forth in the yard to digest food. After the children finished eating, they went to their own After washing up, they went out for a stroll, only Luo Baisu and the others were still eating in the hall outside, they didn't leave.

"Little lady, Madam, who is that Axiu who came earlier today?" Fang Fang's words clearly meant that Axiu had something to do with Cheng Qing. It's not that Xiang Lan didn't believe Cheng Qing, but she was just curious and wanted to find out.

Luo Tian thought about it for a while, and thought it was nothing, so he told the story of Luo Baisu's study in Beijing, Axiu's self-recommendation, and finally the Qi family as a matchmaker, wanting to betroth her to Cheng Qing, but Axiu disliked Cheng Qing. Once again, and finally said: "Sister Xiang Lan, I know this matter clearly, Brother Cheng Qing has nothing to do with A Xiu, so don't take it to heart."
