An Shuyao looked at the class behind him: "Mr., please go back to class quickly. Brother Qi and I are grinding bean juice and sweet potato juice. You can go back together after class later."
Lu Jin raised his hand to straighten her warm fox fur collar, and smoothed her messy hair behind her: "Okay, let's go."
He paused and added: "Just let An Qi do it. He is very strong. You can rest."
An Shuyao couldn't help but burst out laughing. Is it really okay to squeeze her seventh brother like this? An Shuyao nodded: "I know." She blinked her eyes and her voice became much softer: "
I just come out to hide now."
Lu Jin couldn't help but smile: "Little clever ghost."
An Shuyao returned to the mill again. Only half of a hundred kilograms of soybeans had been ground, and there were sweet potatoes at the back. She sighed melancholy: "I'll have to grind it until night. Fortunately, my mother went to buy pigs, otherwise
I’m really busy. Tomorrow I have to ask Aunt Gui to organize the villagers to help me pick all the peppers on Hu Jun’s five acres of land, which is about 15,000 kilograms, plus three thousand kilograms of potatoes and konjac.”
Chili An Jingzhou knew that what he was curious about was: "How to eat potatoes and konjac?"
"I'll dig it up and make it a meal for you. You can fry it or eat it in a hot pot. It's sweet, soft and glutinous, and tastes great. It's also great when made into mashed potatoes."
An Jingzhou was already said to be greedy: "Let Aunt Gui watch more tomorrow. Isn't that boy Anping also in the village? Let him not worry about repairing the house for now. There is a contractor here."
Speaking of the labor contractors, if they were given more money, their meals would no longer be included. They usually brought them from home, built a simple stove outside, lit a fire, and kept the food warm in a big pot.
The bricks piled up in the courtyard cost more than a hundred taels of silver. An Shuyao felt that it was not enough. Even if he did not need 300 taels of silver to repair the house this time, he would not be able to build it. It was indeed the most expensive house in the surrounding area.
The two chatted and saw that the group of children carrying schoolbags happily chased away. Lin Huzi came to An Shuyao. He expressed an apology: "Sister An, I'm sorry. It was my negligence last time that caused Brother An Hao's death."
He was injured. Is his wound healed now? Can he come to school?"
An Hao has not come to the school for a long time. Lin Huzi is very worried about him and does not dare to go to the Hu family residence rashly.
An Shuyao touched his head and smiled lightly: "An Hao is fine. His wounds have healed. It's just that the weather is cold. An Hao's mother is afraid that he will get sick and is going to stay in the house for a while. After a while,
I will come to school with you."
Lin Huzi breathed a sigh of relief and promised: "I will never let brother An Hao get hurt again. When brother An Hao comes to study, I will definitely say sorry to him."
An Shuyao looked at him with a smile: "Okay, go back quickly, your mother will come out to look for you later."
Lin Huzi nodded and ran away.
Lu Jin put the books in a cloth bag. Seeing that they were not busy yet, An Jingzhou used a radish to hang the donkey to work.
He glanced at the two of them, curled his lips and said, "Little sister, you and your little brother-in-law should go back first, as long as I'm here."
So An Shuyao left with Lu Jin without any courtesy. She had to go back and look at the pork.
The pig butcher was very fast. An Shuyao and Lu Jin entered the house with their front legs and delivered the pigs with their back legs. An Shuyao drained the blood and washed it, then carried it into the kitchen to start braising it.
An's mother came over to see An Mingjin. She was still holding An Hao's hand. When he entered, he glanced at Ning Qianrou and then stood obediently by An's mother's legs.
"Hao'er, can grandma make you a toy?"
An Hao nodded with bright eyes: "Okay~"
Ning Qianrou cast her eyes on his face and frowned slightly: "Mom, Hao'er will be four years old after the Chinese New Year. What's the point of continuing to play around like this? It's better for him to learn more about the etiquette and rules of the family."
Mother An's smile faded a little: "The An family is no longer a powerful family. How can we learn the etiquette of aristocratic families and use it wherever we go? Let's just be casual. My son has never learned any etiquette since he was a child. He is not as smart as he is polite.
?”
An Yue nodded in agreement. When they were young, they were just free-ranging. They didn't learn what they should learn, and learned a lot of things they shouldn't learn.
Even An Shuyao doesn't practice piano, chess, calligraphy or painting much, and doesn't like embroidery. He only likes tinkering with the kitchen and strange gadgets.
She fell in love with music, chess, calligraphy and painting after she returned from her travels...
Thinking of this, An Yue frowned slightly. Something was wrong. The younger sister before she was ten years old and the younger sister after she was ten years old were like two people. If An Shuyao was not still alive and well, he would have thought that his sister had been swapped.
.
Ning Qianrou choked and did not dare to contradict An's mother. She simply stopped talking and embroidered clothes for An Hao.
An's mother felt upset and didn't know what to say, so she hugged An Hao to a chair nearby and asked him to sit obediently.
An Hao climbed off the stool and went to hug Lihua, preparing to hold them together on the chair to warm themselves by the fire. Ning Qianrou's expression changed, she stood up and threw the puppy to the door, causing Lihua to whimper.
The accident happened in an instant. No one expected it. Ning Qianrou wiped An Hao's little hands with a good handkerchief in disgust: "It's really dirty. You have to hold a beast in your arms, just in case it bites you."
What should you do."
An Hao's eyes instantly filled with tears. He pushed Ning Qianrou away and ran towards Lihua with a sob: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." He touched Lihua's hind legs that were limping after being hit: "Lihua whirring,
It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt…”
"An Hao!"
"Ningshi!"
An's mother stood up and pointed at her angrily: "What kind of nerve did you have? You haven't had a moment of peace since you came here. What on earth do you want to do?"
"That puppy was raised by Hao'er himself. If you drop it, you will drop it. Hao'er will be so sad."
Ning Qianrou looked at An Hao with a pale face, and saw that he didn't listen to her anymore and insisted on going his own way, hugging the dog and crying. It was really hopeless.
She shouldn't have listened to An Mingjin and sent An Hao to Anzhou first to see what happened to her well-behaved son! In the past, An Hao would do whatever she said. It must be An Hao.
What did Shuyao instigate? Otherwise, how could her son become like this?
He was injured again and played with animals again.
When An Shuyao came in, he saw An Hao crying sadly, his face turned red from crying, An's mother was so angry that she was upset, An Yue frowned slightly, Lu Jin's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little cold, An Yun
Zheng walked to An's mother and gave her some luck.
She first squatted in front of An Hao, checked Lihua for him, then touched his head and said: "Lihua is fine, it just hurt for a moment after falling, and after a while she started jumping around again."
An Hao wiped his tears with his sleeves and couldn't stop crying. "Little aunt, wuwuwu, I, I want to go to school and play with Brother Huzi."
