Farming and reading family

Thinking of this, she smiled helplessly.

These people knew the original owner's character thoroughly, and they thought they were so smart.

Seeing Gao E's smile, Lei's heart was alarmed: "There is really nothing left in the house to sell. If I sell more, I will have to sell my children."

Gao E's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little guilty: "What are you thinking about? You only think about selling the things at home. Even a mountain of gold and silver wouldn't be enough to sell them."

"I'm glad you know." Lei sat on the side and made a fire.

"Where are the bones I bought yesterday?" Gao E looked around but couldn't find them.

Lei leaned back a little and saw that her mother-in-law was not at the kitchen door. She immediately moved the firewood aside, revealing a large vat. Sure enough, the bones from yesterday were in the vat.

"Just say you found it." Lei reminded.

Gao'e...

Won’t it go bad if I hide it here and don’t eat it?

"Okay." She picked out a few irregular pieces and took them out.

Time was short in the morning, so Gao E crushed a few irregular bones and dried them in a large iron pot until they turned yellow.

There was almost no meat on the bones, only a little fragrance from the fried bone marrow oil. Then add water and cook over high heat. When the soup turns white, add the paste that my mother-in-law had scooped out in advance and the wild vegetables on the side into the pot.

Finally, add some salt and the porridge finally has some flavor.

A group of children in the yard were drooling at the smell, not knowing what to eat in the morning.

Even Chen Fansheng was waiting under the eaves.

Jiang wanted to call her a spendthrift woman, but her saliva almost flowed out as soon as she opened her mouth.

There are eighteen people in the Chen family, big and small. They made a big pot at a high price, but each person only had a bowl.

Lei happily brought it to her parents-in-law first.

Chen Fansheng glanced at the identical breakfast with dissatisfaction, but said nothing.

Jiang wanted to say something, but the smell wafting through the yard was so delicious that she just waited for the old man to start eating so she could have a taste too.

The three Chen brothers and the old couple sat at one table, and the rest of the people could only take their bowls and find a place in the yard to squat and eat.

"Go and bring the table out of my room." Gao E came out and saw that everyone was squatting under the eaves to eat.

"Okay!" Lei was excited.

Chen Fansheng slapped the table, and everyone in the yard fell silent instantly.

Gao E turned her head and looked at her father-in-law in confusion.

Her father-in-law has absolute authority in the Chen family. When he was young, he worked as an accountant in the city and felt that he was a well-known figure. Now that there is a scholar in the family, he is even more decisive.

Gao E's family was a landlord, so naturally she looked down upon her father-in-law's behavior and never took him seriously.

Chen Ke hurriedly stood up to smooth things over: "Go move the table out of the room and exchange it with Dad's table."

Lei secretly glanced at her second sister-in-law and thought, it's all over. Her second sister-in-law treasures her things very much and there will probably be a quarrel.

Her eyes moved quickly, wondering if she could take this opportunity to split the family business.

"Okay." Gao E looked at Chen Ke and nodded.

To be honest, she didn't know how to confront her father-in-law. Should she mock him like the original owner did and tell him to use her things however he wanted?

Chen Fansheng felt it was not appropriate to continue losing his temper after hearing what the couple said.

Before, Gao built a big house for them and didn't let them live there, so he felt a little embarrassed in the village. Now that he lives back in the old house, he wants to let Gao know who is in charge.

Then the eldest and the third son also went to help and brought out two tables so that everyone in the family could sit at the table and eat.

Although there was no quarrel, the atmosphere at home was very depressing.

Jiang thought that Gao had suddenly changed her personality and was willing to let her family use her things.

After breakfast, Yang and Lei went to wash the dishes, while the eldest and the third child packed their backpacks in the yard, preparing to go into the mountains to look for persimmons, chestnuts and other edible things.

Chen Fansheng called Chen Ke over.

"Dad." Chen Ke lowered his head.

"Although you will not take part in the imperial examination next year, you cannot neglect your studies for even a single day. Pack up and go to the private school in the city," Chen Fansheng instructed.

Chen Ke didn't want to go to the private school for the time being: "I just got back, and besides, the private school is full of people preparing for next year's spring exam."

"That's even better. Studying with them will help us improve faster. We'll definitely be on the list next time." Chen Fansheng stared at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke felt a little guilty and didn't know how to deal with his father for a moment.

"It's settled." Chen Fansheng turned his head away.

Chen Ke had no choice but to bow and leave.

Gao E changed the clothes of the three-year-old Jidi, and then saw Chen Ke coming in from outside with a dejected look.

When Chen Jie saw his second brother coming out of the main hall, he immediately came over and asked, "Second brother and sister-in-law, you're not going out today, right?"

Chen Ke turned his head and nodded after a moment of hesitation: "I won't go out."

"Then I'll help you release the horses." Chen Jie said and left, as if he was afraid that they would go back on their word.

Chen Ke wanted to say something but stopped himself, turned his head to look at Gao E, mainly to see if Gao E was angry.

After all, those belong to Gao E.

"Let him release it." Gao E didn't care.

After what happened in the morning, she wanted to move out.

Chen Ke looked at Gao E suspiciously, and was relieved when he saw that she was not really angry.

"There is something I want to discuss with you." Gao E gestured to her youngest son to go out and play.

"You say." Chen Ka pulled the chair and sat down.

"Let's move out?" Gao E said directly.

Chen Ke looked at Gao E in surprise.

"There are so many people in the family. Yu Ning and Han Yue are both grown up. The house is not big enough. Besides, we have separated a long time ago. You are also at home. It is not appropriate for you to live in your hometown." Gao E explained.

She thought about it for a long time and felt that this was a more appropriate way of saying it.

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad wants me to go to a private school in the city."

Gao E paused for a moment. She knew that Chen Ke didn't like being at home.

If Chen Ke wants to go to the city to study, he can't spend the money there, and he has to find a way to move out.

"What do you think?" Gao E asked again.

Chen Ke didn't want to disobey his father, but he couldn't go to the city at this time: "I don't want to go."

"Then just tell Dad directly." Gao E thought that since her father-in-law was so partial to Chen Ke, this was not a big deal.

"You also know Dad's temper. You can say anything I say except not studying." Chen Ke was embarrassed.

Gao E thought about it and said: "Then... did the Grandmaster give you any other hints?"

Chen Ke looked at Gao E and realized that what she said was meaningful.

"Then I'll think of another way." Seeing that Chen Ke didn't say anything, Gao E decided to think of a solution herself.

"Let me think about it." Chen Ke nodded.

Gao E didn't know what Chen Ke was thinking, nor did she count on Chen Ke.

Everyone in the family went out one after another. Gao E gathered the things in the original owner's hands. There were a few pieces of jewelry, but they didn't look valuable.

But it was enough for her to rent a yard in the village and buy some daily necessities.

She came out to look for Chen Ke and saw her father-in-law looking at the almanac under the eaves. She didn't know which year's almanac it was, but he was looking at it very seriously. When he heard the noise, he just glanced at her.

She originally wanted to say hello, but seeing her father-in-law just walked out.
