"Co-author, you have done everything good. From the beginning to the end, am I making things difficult for her?" Ye Yuran sneered twice, "Yeah, I don't want to worry about this matter anymore."

After saying that, he walked away angrily.

Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Liu, and was a little angry with her sister-in-law for not living up to expectations: "You...sister-in-law, my mother is making the decision for you, you are really..."

Not knowing what to do at all, I followed him out of the kitchen.

"mother."

She quickly called Ye Yuran.

Ye Yuran turned around, with a cold face, and said unhappy: "What are you doing? Do you still want to be a good person?"

"No, Mom, I just want to tell you what we have for breakfast..." In fact, this matter was already mentioned yesterday, but Li still used it as an excuse and simply said it again, "Mom, look

, can we arrange it this way?"

Ye Yuran didn't want to spread her anger on others, so she breathed out gently and listened to what she had to say.

She had no objection to breakfast and said, "Okay, let's arrange it this way."

"Okay, then I'll arrange it like this...Mom, can I ask you a favor?" Li quietly looked at Ye Yuran's expression and continued.

"What's up?"

"I have to cook, and I don't have time to take care of the three and four treasures. Can you help me take a look at them? Do you agree?"

Ye Yuran looked at her deeply: "Sure."

How could she not understand this "request" from her daughter-in-law?

This is because he is afraid that she will get angry in a hurry, so I want to find something for her to do and see some children at the same time.

This is what happens when you get older. Even if you are unhappy, you will immediately feel bad when you see your child's smiling face.

Others always say that she "favors" the Li family, but how many of them know that the most reassuring person in the family is actually the Li family?

Mrs. Li showed a smile: "Mom, please do your work. They, Dabao, and Erbao are reading in the study. I'll call you when it's time to eat..."

"Yeah!" Ye Yuran responded and went to Zhu Qi's house.

Because the imperial examination will be held after the new year, there will be guests coming to the house in the past few days. In order not to affect Zhu Qi's homework, the Zhu family was ruthless and moved some charcoal fire to the study of the new house.

As soon as the study room was cleared out, Dabao and Erbao also stayed there.

As for the Three Treasures and Four Treasures, there was no place to go in the middle of winter, so they just went there to "listen to books" to join in the fun.

Yes, that’s right, just listening to the stories Dabao and Erbao read.

Children don't have much to play, and they can listen to one story all day long.

Sometimes, Lu Daya, Lu Erya, Lu Sanya, and even Zhu Bamei, Lin Sanmei, and Lin Simei would run over there to listen to stories if they had nothing to do.

Those stories are actually travel notes and miscellaneous studies borrowed from Mr. Cen, as well as various legends Dabao and Erbao heard from my uncle's classmates.

As a scholar, I have read a lot of books, and I can tell you one or two about them.

There are children in the dormitory where I live. They are tired from studying, and they are willing to amuse the children with these "stories" to relax themselves.

Dabao, Erbao has a good memory. After listening to it once, he can remember seven, seven or eighty-eight. If he adds a little bit more, he can also piece together a complete story.

"Really, do the people there really don't eat?" Lu Daya looked surprised and asked, "What do they eat if they don't eat? Aren't they hungry?"

Dabao looked proud and said: "They don't grow rice there, so of course they don't eat it. They eat meat, you know, all kinds of meat."

The children in the room showed envy: "Really? Then they are so happy, they have meat to eat every day."

Everyone started shouting, saying that they would rather eat meat every day than be like now, struggling to even have a full meal.

In their philosophy, a life that can eat "meat" must be very happy.

Dabao was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to explain to them that eating "meat" every day was not necessarily a good thing.

Anyway, my uncle's classmate said at that time that it was because they couldn't grow crops there and had to eat meat every day, so they couldn't fill their stomachs and started wars at every turn to attack the Shentu Dynasty.

Returned to Dabao, Erbao told the story of "people displaced".

All in all, it's miserable.

When Ye Yuran came in, he happened to hear what they were talking about.

I heard that Dabao was trying hard to convince everyone, but because of the limited knowledge in his mind, he couldn't explain it clearly. He was suppressed very miserably by all the "sisters", "sister-in-laws" and "aunties", and none of them could speak clearly.

He looked troubled: "Oh, why doesn't it make sense? We have already said that although they eat meat every day, they are very poor and have no food to eat, so they come to beat us..."

"Nonsense!" Lu Erya said, not believing it at all, "If they are so poor that they have nothing to eat, how can they still have meat to eat? You must have remembered it wrong."

"No way, I remember very clearly that my uncle's classmate said this." Dabao was anxious and wanted Zhu Qi to testify for him.

At this time, Zhu Qi was wearing earmuffs and could not hear what was going on outside the window. He was looking at his "book" seriously - it was actually a collection of county test questions that Mr. Cen had specially left for him, and he was reciting it carefully.

"Shh... keep your voices down, your uncle is studying." Ye Yuran walked in and stopped them in time.

A group of children saw her coming in and immediately gathered around her.

Although she lowered her voice, the girl still insisted on her idea: "Dabao must have remembered it wrong. There is a place to eat meat, how can he be hungry? He will definitely not be hungry."

Dabao was unconvinced: "Nai, I remember correctly, it's true."

Ye Yuran burst out laughing and gestured to them to sit back in the firebox obediently.

This kind of fire box is made of wood and looks a bit like a square bucket used for threshing millet. It is also square.

It's just different from the square bucket. The four sides of the square bucket are a straight frame without any cover. But the four frames of the tobacco box have a horizontal board on which people can sit, which is similar to a "long bench".

On the inside of the fire box, there is a layer of hollow, long-framed wooden shelves.

There are four wooden shelves in four directions, leaving only a pit for the brazier in the middle.

In winter, put the burned charcoal fire into the pit and cover it with a birdcage-like shelf. Everyone can take off their shoes and sit around in the firebox to warm themselves up.

At this time, don’t forget to bring a thick quilt with you and a circle of people around you. You can pull a corner, and I can pull a corner, and it will be very warm.

Because the Zhu family has a large family, when Ye Yuran asked the carpenter to order it, he made it larger and rectangular, which could accommodate two braziers.

In this way, when Zhu Qi sets up a table at the other end to study, he will not be affected by other people.

Wrapped in a quilt, Zhu Qi huddled in the fire box.

In front of him was a wooden shelf specially used to store books. There was also a movable wooden shelf on the left and right sides to help hold the books down.
