MTL - Crossing Over I Became a Married Peasant Woman-Chapter 52 The village head is suspicious

The next morning, it was the first day of school, Pei Xiu put on new spring clothes for all four children. Last year, she specially asked her sister-in-law to help them do it. She had been reluctant to wear them in the beginning of spring, so she kept it until today.

Several children were neatly dressed, carrying small satchels that Pei Xiu sewed for them. They happily went to the school together, Pei Xiu fell behind them, and they had to give it away on the first day.

There are not many people in the village who are willing to send their children to school, and even fewer in the neighboring villages. There are more than 20 people in the entire school, from all age groups. Xiao Zhou Heng is the youngest, but he knows a lot of words. Many eight or nine-year-old children in the school have never been to school.

Master Zhou became more and more satisfied with Zhou Cheng and his wife, and was willing to send all four of their children, which was the first share in the countryside. For many families, it would be very difficult for a family to go to school by reducing their clothes and dieting. This couple has guts and vision.

His eldest grandson plays with those four children all day long. He has heard him say that Zhou Shan's handsome and fair child is Zhou Cheng's benefactor, Tuo Gu.

This family is of good character. They are kind people. They don't treat the child differently, and they treat his eldest grandson equally. They greet him for breakfast every morning after practice. He said that he had told the boy many times, but he couldn't change it, and he often had breakfast at other people's houses.

His old face was about to lose his face, so he could only ask his eldest grandson to lend them the books he had read, and give others a copy of the pen and ink he eliminated. Occasionally he sent them bad papers, or papers with a little ink.

Pei Xiu put away the paper and kept the pen and ink, but she didn't use it. When they are educated in the school and need to practice calligraphy, they will be given to them.

On the first day of school, the children were very excited, and they were all playmates since childhood. They were very familiar with each other. They ran and danced around the desk, making a lot of noise. They calmed down when Master Zhou came. The name, if there is no big name, gave a paragraph of Confucius saying, let each choose one as the name.

The four brothers Zhou Yong were very proud that they had big names early on. When Master Zhou asked the name, he answered loudly, and Pei Xiu laughed. After staying for a while, the children turned around and left after seeing that they were adapting well.

She still has a lot to do. Zhou Cheng was busy helping her open up wasteland, and she also went to the mountains to dig for treasures.

As soon as she got home, Sister-in-law Zhou came in with a beaming face, saying that Zhou Yu's wedding date had been set, and she would come over three days later to make an appointment and welcome her on the second day of the fifth lunar month. Sister Zhou Le's mouth couldn't close, and her most beloved little daughter finally got a good marriage.

Since taking Geng and fitting the eight characters, there has been no news from the man in the past few months. She thought that the marriage would not be completed, and she was worried that she would not be able to eat well or sleep well. Some time ago, she finally got a reply, and her heart fell.

Everyone has their own aspirations. Pei Xiu smiled and congratulated Mrs. Zhou, and asked her to help if she had anything to do.

Sister-in-law Zhou said with a smile: ''There are two daughters-in-law at home, and the old lady does not need the help of the third siblings. The third siblings will just come and watch the fun. ''

''That dares to be good, and I can also feel happy. '' Pei Xiu complimented.

Sister-in-law Zhou rolled her eyes. "The bamboo shoots that the third younger brother and sister sent last night were called bamboo shoots. That's what your eldest brother calls them. It tastes really good. It's fresh and sweet, and it doesn't have the bitter taste of ordinary wild vegetables. This morning I asked the father and son, as well as the second daughter-in-law to dig. ''

'' This bamboo shoot was dug up when it was just unearthed. Yesterday, I took my child around and dug a few temporarily, and peeled it back to see the tender inside, thinking that it should be edible. It's also a blind cat that meets a dead mouse. '' Pei Xiu knew that he was coming, and after finishing the business, he dropped by to inquire.

''When my second daughter-in-law came back to deal with the bamboo shoots, she said that there were not many people in the early morning, and all the young and old of the village went there. It's a good news. Fortunately, your brother and the others went early and came back with a load. . ''

''The sister-in-law has to hurry back to deal with bamboo shoots. These things will get old after a long time. Quickly peel them, slice them, blanch them, take them out and dry them into dried bamboo shoots, which can be eaten for a long time and can be stored. ''

Since the mountains and plains are full of people, she doesn't need to go there. It was enough to dig so much yesterday. She can help Zhou Cheng open up the wasteland later, she still has a lot of things to plant.

The weather is good today, so I just took out the bamboo shoots that were blanched yesterday.

Dong Dong, I remembered the knock on the door again, Pei Xiu wondered why so many people came to the door today.

He opened the door and watched the village chief come to the door in surprise, ''The village chief is here, go in and sit for a meeting, I'll go and call Zhou Cheng. ''

''Not busy, wife Zhou Cheng, is this the bamboo shoot you dug up yesterday? ’’ The village chief came in and asked, looking at the rows of bamboo shoots drying in the yard.

It turned out to be looking for her, ''Yes, please have some tea. ''

''How long can this be stored in the sun, can it be pickled? ''

''A few months will be fine, depending on the dryness. As for whether it can be marinated or not, I haven't tried it. I have used it all for drying. The village chief can try it. '' She knew that it could be pickled, but she didn't pick it up, what did she say~www.novelbuddy.com~ Why did you suddenly go to the mountain to dig this bamboo shoot. ''The village chief is a little suspicious and puzzled. It has been ten years since Zhou Cheng's wife was married, and she has done a lot of outrageous things recently. I heard from the old lady at home that her temperament has also changed a bit. Could it really be a pass from the gate of hell, what? Do you understand a little bit?

'' The village chief also knows that there are many children in my family, and they are all boys. They can eat all of them. The food at home is almost exhausted, and the wild vegetables are almost dug by everyone. I don't have to go up the mountain to see what edible. I pondered that the bamboo must be non-toxic. The newly grown bamboo shoots, just unearthed with pointed tips, might be soft. I pulled one out and tried it. I didn't expect it to taste really good, and I was also surprised. '' Pei Xiu also knew that her abnormality was best understood by the person beside her, but he didn't pursue it and wanted to wait for her to confess. Others will not be magnanimous not to pursue.

Whether the village chief believes it or not, she has a clear explanation anyway.

I don't know if he believed it or not. Anyway, I saw him nodding and didn't ask about it any more.

Pei Xiu watched the village chief walking around in the yard, knowing that he noticed the wooden box in the corner, she didn't wait for him to ask, she walked to the wooden box and said to the village chief: "The village chief is I have seen these species. ''

''No, I was just about to ask, what are these, why haven't I seen them before, the old man has lived for so many years, and he is also a good farmer. Find out what these are. '' said the village chief thoughtfully.

''These are the seeds that Zhou Cheng brought back. All of them are the size of a baby's fist. I have never seen any seeds that big, so I will try to plant them and see what will grow. '' Pei Xiu shook her head, not because she didn't want to explain it, but because she had never planted it before, and she didn't dare to open her mouth to say what it was.
