Farming and reading family

When Yang heard Gao E say this, she stopped talking.

I just feel uncomfortable thinking about the children eating wild vegetable soup at home while the couple eat meat here.

"Second brother's wife..." Yang hesitated to speak.

Gao E looked at Yang.

"Yu Ning is still injured, I want to save my portion for Yuning." Yang said with courage.

After saying this, his face turned red with embarrassment, as if he had stolen something from someone else.

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "Then make some more and send them back to the old house for everyone to eat at noon."

"No, no." Yang immediately refused. "It's not easy for you to move here."

"This is my housewarming celebration, so it's normal for us to have a meal together." Gao E said with a smile.

Yang was very envious of Gao E's ease in speaking. She felt that no matter what the matter was, it was so easy in the eyes of her second brother's wife.

The two craftsmen over there also finished looking at it and sat down to tell Chen Ke what he needed to prepare.

As soon as construction begins, the gods must be informed, and simple sacrifices are still necessary.

Chen Ke also understood this rule. Besides, their family did have to burn some incense when they moved up here.

It was almost lunch time when they finished their work. Gao E served two full bowls of chestnut stewed braised pork rice to the two chefs.

"We haven't set up the table yet, so please make do with it." Gao E apologized, "There's more in the pot. We'll serve more after we finish eating."

The two masters looked at each other and felt that the Chen couple were very honest.

Although it is just a bowl, it is pure rice, with large pieces of braised pork on top, and the rice is soaked in gravy, making people drool.

Even when the villagers have a banquet, there is not much meat on it, it is just displayed to make it look better.

"Enough, enough." Master Qin said hurriedly.

Master An was not polite. He took a bite and said with a smile: "This profit is better than the masters in Hexian Restaurant."

Everyone laughed.

At this time, Chen Qing and Chen Jie also came back.

"What did my second sister-in-law make at noon? My brother and I could smell the fragrance from far away." Chen Jie shouted and put down the bamboo pole he had dragged back.

Chen Qing felt a little embarrassed, wondering if his second brother would think that he had come back to eat on purpose when he came back at this time.

"Brother, third brother, hurry up and wash your hands and eat." Gao E called out.

"No, no, I'll just go back and eat one bite." Chen Qing said as he was about to leave.

"My sister-in-law has already sent it home. The food is the same." Gao E called her eldest brother.

Chen Jie pushed his eldest brother inside: "Second sister-in-law is right."

Seeing the white rice covered with such a big piece of meat, Chen Qing was a little afraid to eat it.

"There's more in the pot after you finish eating." Chen Ke called his elder brother over to sit down.

Although Chen Jie and his wife ate voraciously, they said they were full after just one bowl.

If we really eat as much as we want, I'm really afraid that we will bankrupt my second brother's family.

Although the meal was simple, they enjoyed it very happily. After the meal, the two craftsmen left.

Master Qin said he would come as soon as the bricks arrived. Master An said he would make them for their family first, and it would probably take seven or eight days.

This is also because the door frames are made directly of logs and the windows are simple in style, otherwise it would definitely not be possible in seven or eight days.

If there is a lot of wood at that time, the Chen family will have to pay for the transportation.

The two sides had a good discussion and the two masters were very straightforward, so it was finalized.

After seeing off the two masters, Chen Ke asked his eldest brother and third brother to sit down and discuss what to do next.

"I will buy the things the two masters mentioned. My third brother will ask in the afternoon when the bricks can be delivered. He also needs to buy some more lime." Chen Ke wrote down everything.

"I'll go right away. We don't need much, so maybe it can be delivered before dark." Chen Jie said directly

"Be sure to watch carefully." Chen Qing warned.

"Don't worry, big brother. He would never dare to cheat me." Chen Jie promised.

"It's just..." Chen Ke was embarrassed. "Your second sister-in-law and I are going shopping this afternoon, so we can't let you use the carriage."

"It's okay, I'll leave now." Chen Jie said and left.

Although I only ate a bowl of rice at noon, I felt full of energy.

Chen Qing watched Chen Jie leave. In fact, he was quite envious of his third brother, who was very capable in the outside world.

Watching his third brother leave, Chen Qing lowered his voice and said, "I think Dad is feeling very bad. You should go back and see him when you have time."

When Chen Ke heard his elder brother say this, he secretly glanced at his wife.

Chen Qing didn't say anything when he saw him like this. After all, they were a couple who had to make a living.

In the afternoon, Chen Qing continued to cut bamboo, and Chen Ke planned to go shopping and buy some lime as well.

"I'll go with you." Gao E prepared a small package.

Chen Ke didn't know what Gao E was going to do, but Gao E said she wanted to go, so Chen Ke took Gao E with him.

They are not worried about Gao E because her sister-in-law is at home looking after her.

After the busy farming season, the women in the village gathered together to make clothes and sew shoe soles after dinner.

Hardworking men can also weave straw sandals and make bamboo baskets.

There was a group of children playing around.

When Chen Ke and his companions' carriage arrived at the village entrance, many people greeted them, with some sarcasm in their laughter.

Every time this happened, Chen Ke would smile awkwardly and leave quickly.

"Don't worry too much." Gao E saw that Chen Ke looked a little flustered.

Chen Ke thought for a moment and said, "I don't really care."

He thought this way, but was just comparing the present with the most miserable time in his previous life, and it seemed to be much better.

"Reading is reading. Thousands of volumes record everything in the world. As long as you understand them, you will be among the saints and sages. There is no need to feel that being an ordinary person is a plus. It's fine too." Gao E said easily.

Chen Ke looked at Gao E. The truths she said these past two days always made people's eyes open.

"They are also ordinary people. They may never leave He County in their entire lives. Their biggest concern is that one and a half acres of land. How bad can they be?" Gao E said with a smile.

After hearing Gao E say this, Chen Ke remained silent for a long time.

In fact, after his rebirth, he hated the people of Baotou Village a little.

Thinking about the ridicule and cold eyes in the previous life, they felt that if it weren't for those, their Chen family might not be so miserable.

So he had no intention of telling anyone that Fish Head Dam would burst.

I thought that if I could flush all these people away, it seemed as if my humiliation would disappear as well.

But after hearing Gao E say this, I felt that they were not that bad.

Although they mocked him, they also gave him a bowl of rice to eat and did not watch him die.

"My eldest brother said that Dad is not feeling well now and asked me to find time to go back and see him." Chen Ke said in a low voice.

"Then buy two kilograms of wine for Dad today, and you can go back and take a look in the evening." Gao E said directly.

Chen Ke was surprised: "Aren't you angry with Dad?"

After all, it was Dad who kicked them out of the house.

"That's your father," Gao E said calmly. "I was just trying to reason with him. If a family doesn't follow reason, it's foolish. No matter how good a character is, once the word 'foolish' is added to it, it becomes stupid and bad."

Chen Ke was shocked when he heard this. Isn't this the reason why his family only thought about turning their fortunes around through the imperial examinations?

If his wife hadn't reminded him, he would have become another fool in this life.

"Madam, if something happens in Baotou Village, will we help?" Chen Ke suddenly asked.
