Farming and reading family

Chapter 73 This is too tiring

Everyone had no objection after hearing this, and they also wanted to try whether bamboo shoots were really delicious.

If it tastes good, there are plenty of them in Baotou Village.

Having said this, Gao E no longer paid any attention to Feng, letting her continue to curse and swear.

"What are you doing?" Lei was a little angry when he was woken up from his deep sleep.

"It's okay." Gao E glanced at Lei and said, "Go wash your face quickly."

Lei rubbed her face and turned into the yard.

Hanyue quickly fried some smoked pork and bamboo shoots according to the method taught by her second aunt, and then took a few pairs of chopsticks to serve them out.

The fragrance spread, and several people leaned over and swallowed their saliva. It was so fragrant that even if they had an upset stomach, they would still eat a few bites.

When Feng smelled the smell, her stomach started to growl. She covered her stomach and ran away.

Everyone ignored her and took the chopsticks handed to them by Chen Hanyue and took two bites.

Is the Chen family no longer able to make ends meet?

Oil and salt are free, so even grass roots will smell delicious when you stir-fry them like this, right?

Gao E watched as people took turns eating. "Bamboo shoots are very fatty, so they need to be stir-fried with a lot of oil. It's best to stir-fry them with meat, and don't eat too much."

When everyone heard this, they just gave up. Who would have so much oil these days, let alone meat?

It seems that the Chen family can eat bamboo shoots because they have meat, but other families don’t have such conditions.

Feng always likes to take advantage of others. It is probably because Gao said that bamboo shoots are edible and cooked a big pot of them, so this happened.

The mouth is soft with food, and after the dish was finished, those people said goodbye to Chen Ke and left, making fun of themselves that they didn't have the conditions to do so.

When Feng came back after a sudden diarrhea, the Chen family had already returned to the yard to eat, and no matter how much she called out outside, they ignored her.

"I'll go out and talk to her." Lei was a little restless.

"Fire overcomes metal." Gao E glanced at Lei and said, "Just think of it as self-cultivation."

When Lei heard this, he became intimidated and decided to change his temper.

Chen Jie was surprised. What does fire overcomes metal mean?

His second sister-in-law's words made his wife's hot temper disappear.

Feng yelled and cursed outside for a while and then left. She was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to yell and curse.

After lunch, Gao E and Chen Jie discussed their plans as a couple.

Gao E found that with what the couple had to do, they might not even have time to rest.

In the morning, Chen Jie would check whether there were any wild boars in the trap. If there were, he would send the wild boars away, then buy some food and go fishing in the evening.

If not, I'll go pick up acorns, then buy food after lunch and go fishing in the evening.

Lei would process the fish in the morning and then smoke the fish with her. He would have extra time to pick acorns and go fishing in the evening.

"What I mean is that this is too tiring." Gao E and Chen Jie analyzed.

"That's nothing. We can go to sleep after fishing at night." Lei said nonchalantly.

Gao E looked at Lei and wondered if she was made of iron.

The Lei family is not made of iron, she just knows that these things are related to them.

Now that I have good food and money, being a little tired doesn’t matter.

Think about when the Chen family had a lot of land, they had to work hard from dawn to dusk all year round, and the remaining money had to be used for the second brother's education. Their two families had no benefits at all.

"How about this." Gao E saw that they had no objection. "Children at home can also pick up acorns, so you two don't have to. Rest more when you have time. It's not worth it to burn your bodies out."

"It's okay..." Lei said indifferently.

"Too much is as bad as too little." Gao E looked at Lei.

Lei didn't quite understand, but what her second sister-in-law said definitely made sense.

After discussing this, Chen Ke and Chen Jie drove out in the carriage. Gao E asked them to go earlier and buy a few more large wooden basins.

Now they are also a small family workshop, so they need to buy more of some things.

The news that Feng went to the Chen family to cause trouble soon spread throughout Baotou Village. The villagers knew that bamboo shoots were delicious, but they had to be fried with meat.

The Chen family had given them some meat before, but no one was willing to eat it, so those who had originally thought about it gave up eating bamboo shoots.

In the evening, Chen Ke and his men returned with food, and the family sat in the yard around the fire, peeling acorns.

The next day, there was a wild boar in the trap. They first sent the wild boar to the city, bought some things needed for the family, and bought some food. They did not return home until it was almost dark.

"What are you doing?" Chen Fan just came out of the toilet and saw his son peeking through the crack of the door.

Chen Baolai was startled by his father. He bumped his shoulder against the door and stood up straight, pressing his shoulder: "Dad, what are you doing?"

"Why are you sneaking around in your own house?" Chen Fancai was displeased.

Ever since he bought Chen Ke's house, he felt that he was a superior person in Baotou Village, and he walked with more imposing manner than before.

Chen Baolai looked suspicious: "Why does my uncle's carriage go to the city every day?"

His house is right at the entrance of the village, facing the road into the village.

"Just showing off." Chen Fancai disdainfully said.

Another thing that worries him now is getting the carriage from Chen Ke's family. Gao loves the carriage more than her own son. Asking her to sell the carriage is like asking for her life.

"But my second brother's family has fish and meat. How come they are suddenly so rich?" Chen Baolai pretended to be puzzled.

In fact, Chen Jie lost face that day, making him feel a little embarrassed in front of the villagers. He has been paying attention to his cousins ​​from his uncle's family recently, hoping to regain his face.

Chen Fancai said disdainfully: "You must have spent the money your second brother used to take the exam."

Chen Baolai thought about it and said, "So, second brother is not planning to take the exam?"

Chen Fancai thought about it seriously, then laughed.

His attitude towards Chen Ke was very contradictory. He didn't want Chen Ke to pass the exam, because if he did that, he would have to rely on his eldest brother's family forever.

He also wanted Chen Ke to pass the exam. After all, they both had the surname Chen, and he could get a lot of benefits.

He himself was not sure which of these two thoughts was more important.

"I'll ask your uncle tomorrow." Chen Fan only felt better when his eldest brother's family was uncomfortable.

Chen Fan had just finished breakfast and went to see his elder brother with ten eggs.

In fact, Chen Fansheng had done his best for his younger brother. In his early years, Chen Fansheng worked as an accountant in the city. He got to know some people and spent money and effort to find a job for him.

Although Chen Fancai was not good at studying, he was a good at scheming. After a few years, he got the job of guarding Yutouba by the government, and began to look down on his elder brother.

Chen Fansheng did his work in a methodical manner and only took his share of the remuneration. Chen Fan couldn't stand it and thought that he was too stubborn. He didn't even have money even though he was guarding the cash box. Instead, he wanted to teach his elder brother a lesson.

The two brothers began to have a rift over this matter.

Later, Chen Ke passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and Chen Fansheng became famous again. Naturally, he couldn't help but criticize Chen Fancai...

In short, the two brothers took turns to perform, and the ridicule was exchanged, and the relationship became more and more strained.

When he arrived at the door of the Chen family, he looked at the dilapidated gate and the threshold with a big dent worn out, and couldn't help but sneer in his eyes.

"Second brother is here?" Jiang was quite warm to Chen Fancai.
