Female Farming Pond Fish

Chen Chengshan pulled Tian Yu into the house and the conversation between them stopped.

Chen Chengyu was still thinking about Chi Xiaotong's words.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Chengshan asked excitedly.

"Let's talk about your sister's books. Have you read them all?" Chi Xiaotong asked.

"Those travel books! I've read them all! But I didn't find them that good!" Chen Chengshan said casually.

Tian Yu showed a trace of envy. Chen Chengshan could read and write.

Chi Xiaotong was also a little surprised: "You went to school? Where is the boys' school?"

When she went to sell canned food at the school gate before, all the people coming out were women. She had never heard of any school accepting men.

"I never went to school. My sister taught me! Men don't need to learn to read and write. They just need to stay at home and take care of their wives and daughters. But my mother said that wealthy families would hire special teachers to teach men to read and write.

If you are illiterate, you can't even write your own name. So my mother asked my sister to repeat what she taught in class every day when she got home.

My mother would teach me some things. I know most of the characters, and I would read my sister's books when I was at home doing nothing." Chen Chengshan explained while shaking his legs.

Chi Xiaotong even doubted whether Chen's mother was really from this world? Or was she a time traveler like her? These behaviors were too unreasonable in this society.

Chen Chengyu added: "My mother has been to many places and has seen a lot. She was afraid that Chengshan would be illiterate and be cheated in the future. That's why she asked me to teach him. While teaching him, I was also able to review."

Chi Xiaotong nodded, but she was still suspicious. Although she didn't have much contact with the people here, she observed that the status of men here was very low. Tian Yu was an example. In such a small mountain village, there was a Chen family.

Not only does he love and pamper his son, he also lets him learn to read and write. This is really not what people here would do.

Chen Chengshan threw a piece of sesame candy into his mouth, while Tian Yu placed a small plate of sesame candy in front of Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu.

"Sister Xiaotong, try it and see if what we did is right!" Chen Chengshan didn't care about that. He pointed at the candy and asked Chi Xiaotong to taste it.

"What's right about this!" He ate one and fed one to Tian Yu.

After the two siblings came in the morning, they had nothing to do. Chen Chengshan was a person who couldn't stay still.

It just so happened that the sesame candies made last time had all been given away. Chi Xiaotong said, take them to make sesame candies.

I took them to the kitchen and used the leftover maltose from last time to teach them how to make sesame candy. Just keep pulling and folding. I taught them. I let Tian Yu and Chen Chengshan do it. The two of them hid back in the house to be lazy.

“Stay for lunch! I’ll cook two dishes for you!” It was almost noon, so Chi Xiaotong invited the two of them to have lunch.

Chen Chengshan looked at Chen Chengyu, waiting for his sister to make a decision.

Chen Chengyu smiled and said, "You cook for us yourself? Then we have to stay and try it!"

"Okay, you guys sit down first, I'll go cook!" Chi Xiaotong got up and went to the kitchen.

The three of them stood up simultaneously.

"Why are you guys up?"

"Go and have a look!" Chen Chengyu put down the book.

The two kids nodded. Even though this was not their home, Chen Chengshan felt it was wrong to let Chi Xiaotong, a woman, cook while the two men stayed in the house.

He felt that his mother had been very good to his father. She didn't ask his father to rest in the house while she cooked.

Look at this, look at that. Never mind, just follow them.

Go to the kitchen and arrange the three people's seats. Chi Xiaotong starts to light the fire. The rice must be simmered first.

When the rice was cooked, Chi Xiaotong started to cut meat and vegetables. In the middle of winter, there was really nothing to use.

After thinking for a while, Chi Xiaotong decided to stir-fry potato slices, stew cabbage, and finally make shredded pork with ginger.

I don’t really cook often. I don’t know how to cook many dishes.

The rice was out of the pot, and the pot was cleaned. The potato chips were fried. Tian Yu wanted to help. Chi Xiaotong refused: "I agreed to cook this meal!"

Tian Yu could only squat down and help watch the fire.

Chen Chengyu was surprised: "It looks pretty good!"

Chi Xiaotong kept working. Without even looking up, she said, "That's right. Did you forget that my stewed pig's trotters weren't tasty?"

Chen Chengyu smacked his lips and savored the taste: "Delicious!"

"That's it. We don't know much, but this kind of home-cooked dish can be cooked even if it's not very delicious!" Chi Xiaotong told the truth.

The three of them laughed out loud.

The second one is the shredded pork with ginger, and the cabbage is stewed at the end.

Seeing Chi Xiaotong cutting a large piece of ginger, Chen Chengshan asked Tian Yu how many dishes Chi Xiaotong was going to make that required so much ginger.

Tian Yu shook his head, he didn’t know either.

When they saw Chi Xiaotong pouring the chopped ginger into the pot, the three of them widened their eyes.

Chi Xiaotong's knife skills are not very good, and it took her a lot of effort to cut these shredded ginger and pork.

"You, cough, cough, cough." Chen Chengyu was about to ask when he was choked and started coughing.

"You guys stay away first!" Chi Xiaotong said hurriedly, having just forgotten to remind them.

The three of them ran away quickly. When Chi Xiaotong finished serving the dishes, they came over.

Tian Yu looked at Chi Xiaotong worriedly. She had just been dragged away by Chen Chengshan, and her husband couldn't leave. He wondered if she had choked.

Chi Xiaotong put the dishes on the table, handed the chopsticks to several people and said, "Try it."

Chen Chengyu hesitated. It’s all ginger, will it taste good?

Seeing that neither of them dared to pick up their chopsticks, Tian Yu took the lead and picked up a piece of food. No one dared to eat what his wife cooked, so he ate it himself.

It’s delicious without the spiciness of ginger!

Seeing Tian Yu eating, Chen Chengshan asked, "Brother-in-law, how is it? Is it delicious?"

Tian Yu nodded affirmatively, "It's delicious."

The two of them tried a little bit of it doubtfully. It was indeed delicious.

Chi Xiaotong had already served the food to the group. She called them, "Sit down and eat!"

Then he turned around and stewed the cabbage. When he came back, he found that no one had touched the food.

"There is still some cabbage. Eat it first, or it will get cold!" Chi Xiaotong sat down.

"No hurry, it won't take that long!" Chen Chengyu said. Chen Chengshan was very polite at this time. He sat next to Chen Chengyu and waited obediently.

When Chi Xiaotong brought the cabbage to the table, she started eating first, and then the other three started eating.

A plate of shredded pork with ginger was quickly devoured. After the meal, there was leftover rice, potatoes and cabbage, but the plate of shredded pork with ginger was completely eaten.
