Chapter 125 Old problem
After Xiaocaoer washed up and changed her clothes, she felt refreshed all over.
"Grandma, what do you want to eat for breakfast?" When she entered the main room, she saw Grandma Yang waiting for her to have breakfast together.
"Sweet potato cakes, white porridge, and your favorite green vegetables." As he said this, he scooped a bowl of porridge for her.
It's really strange, everyone likes to eat meat, but my granddaughter likes to eat vegetables. She said that it's healthy to eat a combination of meat and vegetables, and you can't just eat meat, you have to have vegetables for every meal.
"Well, thank you grandma, you understand me best." Xiao Cao'er threw herself into Grandma Yang's arms and gave her a kiss on the face.
Old Mrs. Yang watched her granddaughter eat a mouthful of vegetables, a mouthful of porridge, and then a bite of bread, and she ate with such relish.
"Grandma, why don't you eat? Will you be full just by watching me eat?" Xiao Cao'er teased Grandma Yang.
"That's not the case. Seeing you eating so happily, I'd be full even if I didn't eat. I'm still wondering if I added anything to today's breakfast."
"Have you figured it out?" Xiao Caoer picked up another piece of vegetable with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
"No." Old Mrs. Yang shook her head.
"But I thought of it." Xiao Caoer continued to take a bite of the biscuit.
"Ha, how did you come up with that?"
"I thought of it when I saw milk!"
"What is it?"
"It must be my grandma's love. With my grandma's love, breakfast tastes more delicious than before." Hehehe!
Old Lady Yang was stunned for a moment, hahaha, "Don't mention it, it's true."
Both the old and the young made themselves laugh.
After the two of them had breakfast, Yang Dashan and his wife Li came back from working in the fields.
"Xiao Cao'er, mother has already scooped out the soaked vermicelli this morning. You can just take it over and cook it directly. I've also packed some in there. See if it's enough. I'll go to the vegetable garden now to pick some greens and onions for you, and pick some peppers to take with you." Li said as she entered the yard.
Every morning and evening, Yang Dashan and his wife would go to the fields to do some work and then come back to make sweet potato flour.
There are dedicated people in charge of both workshops. They don’t go there every day. Now they just make vermicelli at home.
The main thing is that we haven’t figured out how to sell the vermicelli yet, so Yang Dashan and his wife and Lianhua Xiaolan make it every day, dry it and put it away. We have already stored about 50 to 60 kilograms of it.
The main reason for going to the county town today is to see my brothers, and also to see if Brother Hua Ming is in Zheng Mansion. If he is, we can talk about the vermicelli issue, and then we will increase production efforts after it is settled.
Xiao Caoer quickly pulled Li and said, "Mom, don't worry. Grandma and I have already prepared the dishes. Please have breakfast first."
"Okay, just get ready. I'll ask your father to drive the carriage to take you there later." Li said while washing her hands.
"Mom, Dad will take us there, so can you handle it here?" Xiao Cao'er only now remembered that his father had tasks to do every day.
"It's okay. I'll take my time. I'm not in a hurry. I'll do as much as I can." Li said as she touched the little tuft of hair on her daughter's head.
The daughter takes care of the household. At first, Li was proud of her daughter, but gradually she became proud and distressed. She blamed herself and her husband for being incompetent, and the youngest daughter in the family had to worry about the livelihood of the whole family. There was nothing she could do but to do all the things her daughter asked her to do and not hold them back.
Yang Dashan ate a mouthful of porridge and a bite of cake, and took the time to say to Li: "Yes, yes, you guys take your time, we will be back after we have seen Damao and the others. You guys make the vermicelli first, and pound the sweet potatoes when I come back."
"Yes, mother, we came back after visiting our brothers." Xiao Cao'er also said.
"Okay, mom gets it. Don't be in a hurry on the road. Drive the carriage slowly, okay?" The first part was said to her daughter, and the second part was said to Yang Dashan.
Yang Dashan finished the last bite of the biscuit and wiped the oil off his mouth with his hand. He said, "I'll go harness the carriage first. You guys pack up the things you need to take." As he said that, he wanted to go to the stable.
Li grabbed him by the hand, took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, saying, "Your mouth is full of oil. If you wipe it on your clothes, it will be very rude when you go to the county town."
Old Lady Yang curled her lips at his action and said, "How many times have I told you that you don't have a handkerchief with you? Don't you know how hard it is to wash clothes that are stained with oil? You just made this new dress, specially for when you go out. Are you deliberately getting it dirty because you don't want to see us off?"
"No, Mom, no, I don't want to send you there, I just got used to it, and I can't change it all of a sudden." Yang Dashan quickly admitted his mistake.
"What do you mean you can't change it right away? It's been a long time and you still can't change it. You don't want to change it, right? Look, we have all changed it, but you can't change it?"
Old Lady Yang walked towards Yang Dashan and wanted to put her hand towards his ear, but after thinking about it, she put her hand down and said, "Hurry up and drive the car out, don't delay our business."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right away." Yang Dashan hurried to the backyard and drove the carriage out. He then loaded all the things in the yard onto the carriage, helped Old Lady Yang get on the carriage, and then carried his daughter into the carriage.
A series of actions flow like flowing water.
People in rural areas have many bad habits. In the past two years, Xiaocao has intentionally guided her grandmother, parents to correct their bad habits and bad habits.
Xiaocaoer doesn’t worry about her brothers who are in school, and there is also Mr. Zheng.
Now the eldest brother is very strict with his younger brothers. They are not afraid of grandma or parents, but afraid of the eldest brother.
Xiao Caoer has a punishment for the elders who have the same old bad habits, and the punishment is: writing.
That’s right, writing as punishment.
Yang Dashan came back from the county town today and had to make vermicelli, and then was punished by his daughter to write.
Moreover, this punishment provision was supported by the four sons.
Now Grandma Yang and Mrs. Li also recognize a few words. At least they know and can write the names of all their family members. They can also write Pingjiang County and Qingshan Village. Just like Simao used to teach the little guards: at least they can sign their names when paying taxes and grain without circling them.
Yang Dashan knows a few more characters than before, at least he knows most of the characters used in daily life, but he is not very good at writing them, and often writes them with missing parts.
After his older brothers all went to school, Xiao Cao planned to teach them literacy and arithmetic at night. After learning for a while, they made rapid progress in arithmetic, but it was difficult to teach them characters, so they could only learn slowly.
Yang Dashan was driving the carriage. Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er were talking in low voices in the carriage. From time to time, he could hear their laughter, and Yang Dashan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
