Be a master through ancient times

Mother Chu cried while hugging Chu Ci, she almost thought that she would never see Chu Ci in this life.The capital city and Xijiang Province are separated by more than a thousand miles, and it takes several months to come and go. An ordinary woman like her can hardly even find a village, so how dare she go to the capital city?And she couldn't let go of this place.

Chu Ci was naturally comforting, but his eyes were also moist. How can such a heavy maternal love not move people?

After comforting Chu's mother, Chu Ci saluted Chu Guang and Shen Xiuniang, thanking them for taking the responsibilities he should have taken away.Shen Xiuniang and Chu Guang accepted him with a half-respect, bluntly saying that the family does not need to be so polite.

While talking, Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhong Liyu led Zhang Hu, Fu Mingan and Chang Xiao over.Chu Ci introduced the three to them, and then asked his brother to help him tidy up a few rooms so that the three could live in.

Chang Xiao quickly said, "Master, Brother Dahu and I can just share a room." Zhang Hu also nodded, saying that the two of them also lived together when they were in the county school.

Chu Guang was a little shy, because no one had ever called him a master.

"It's okay, there are many rooms in the house now."

"My lord, it's okay, we just live together." Chang Xiao knew that they would live together soon, so there was no need for each of them to share a room.

Now that he has said so, others will no longer insist.In the end, before Chu Guang went to hug the quilt and make the bed, Chu Xiaoyuan spoke again. He said, "Father, my bed is big. Can I sleep with Yu'er and Brother Fu?"

He has tasted the sweetness in the past few days. Not only can he learn martial arts from Fu Mingan, but he also has a lot of face when he is pulled out. Those people in the Mengtong Hall no longer dare to bully them.

Chu Guang didn't answer him, but looked at Fu Mingan and asked what he meant.Fu Mingan nodded. In fact, he didn't dare to sleep alone. Although the husband's house was not as big as theirs, there were no servants who used to sleep outside to serve in his house.

Seeing him nodding, the two younger ones immediately laughed, took his hand and went back to their room, presumably to let him see their "treasure".

Chang Xiao and Zhang Hu also followed Chu Guang to check out the room. Chu Ci looked at his family and felt that something was missing.

"Mother, sister-in-law, where is Shanshan?" Where did his cute little niece go?

"I'm sleeping. I didn't sleep because I was too playful this afternoon. I just yawned when I was eating, and I fell asleep before I finished eating." Mother Chu mentioned her little granddaughter with a smile on her face. This little treasure, as long as My heart is sweet when I think of it.

Chu Ci felt a little regretful, but it was hard for him to say that he wanted to go in and have a look.Children feel light, and it would be bad if they were frightened by him.

"By the way, speaking of eating, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll get you something to eat. Sigh, I didn't know you would come back at this time. I'm afraid there is nothing good to eat at home..." Mother Chu sighed , which means that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Mom, we just ate some dim sum on the way. You can just get us something to eat... Do you have noodles?" Chu Ci asked, and returned the dumplings when he went out. Although there is no such custom in Changxi Village, it does not prevent him from wanting to eat. noodle.

"Yes, yes, the aunt of the Yang family sent us her natal beard noodles before, and she said they tasted smooth and delicious. We haven't eaten them before, so I just cooked them today." Chu's mother suddenly became happy again, a mother's happy meal. Anger, sorrow and joy are actually very simple, and most of them are maintained on the child.

Mustard?Chu Ci was a little curious, and followed Chu's mother into the kitchen, and saw her use a bamboo pole to take down the basket hanging from the middle of the beam.There are some white and thin noodles inside, which look a bit like modern dried noodles, but they are softer than dried noodles.

"Mother, is it hung on this to prevent the plague of rats?"

"That's right, those things are thieves! They just sneak in. If you don't hide things well, you will be designated to be harmed by them." Farmers always hate rats when they mention them.

"Why don't you have a cat?" Chu Ci liked small animals, but he found that there are not as many pets as there are in modern times, and they have never even seen a dog in their village.Before, I heard that Zhu Feng had a big dog at home, but it was a pity that I didn't have the chance to see it.

"Keeping a cat?" Chu's mother paused for a moment, "It's okay to have one. In the past, people didn't have to eat, so naturally they didn't have money to provide for a cat. Now there is a lot of food in the house, and there are a lot of mice. What about raising a cat? I dare not come again..."

Mother Chu talked about the benefits of having cats, and then extended from cats to other places.While she was talking, the movements of her hands were not slow. In this smoky kitchen, Chu Ci was sitting on the small bench by the stove, adding firewood to it while listening to Chu's mother, and there was a kind of small The feeling of being at grandma's house when I was young.This kind of feeling is too ethereal to describe, but if Chu Ci were to describe it, it would probably be the feeling that the whole heart is full and is about to burst out, the kind that makes your nose sour when you think about it occasionally when you are in a foreign place that feeling.

Noodles are so cooked, Mother Chu poured them into a large pot, and put them on the table in a large porcelain bowl at home. The thin white noodles were served with a few tender green green onions, and the soup with faint oil stars , looks very delicious.

Chu Ci put some dried chilies into the bowl, and poured a little bit of vinegar. The sour taste immediately stimulated the taste buds after entering his mouth, making people want to eat it.The other people at the table thought the same way, even Fu Ming'an, who was a little annoyed at looking at the big bowl just now, ate seriously.

After the meal, the moonlight outside was so cold that people couldn't help feeling a bit chilly looking at it.The room was very warm, because Chu Ci was afraid of the cold, so Chu's mother used the charcoal fire in the stove to set a big brazier in the main room.After eating, everyone sat in the main room, chatting while keeping warm.

After chatting for a while, Chu Guang suddenly thought of a question, and quickly asked Chu Ci, "Xiaoer, aren't you a teacher in the Imperial College in Beijing? Why are you back suddenly?"

"I was released and sent to study in Nanfu Province. Because it is close, I will go home first. By the way, I invited people from the village to come to our house for dinner tomorrow." Chu Ci Said.

"I want to invite them to a meal. Back then when you were admitted as the number one scholar, people in the village sent things over. Now that you're back, if you don't make any noise, people will talk about you." Mother Chu and Chu Guang agreed very much. In this regard, favors come and go like this, even though Chu Ci has an official position now, the favors that should be repaid still have to be repaid.

"Well, I will go shopping with Zhang Hu in the town early tomorrow morning, and then I will ask my mother and sister-in-law to help me invite a few aunts who are quick and easy to come over to help. In addition, brother, you can help me borrow bowls from the village head's house. Come here with chopsticks and a table." Chu Ci said, although it was troublesome, there was no escape from what had to be done.

"No, Brother Zhang Hu and I will go shopping tomorrow." Chu Guang rarely objected to Chu Ci's decision, and when he spoke, everyone immediately looked at him.

Chu Guang said seriously: "Those people in Ping'an Town like to raise prices. Seeing you like this, they will definitely ask for more. If it were you, the money would definitely be wasted."

Chu Ci was speechless, remembering the unbelievable expression of his family members when he quoted the price after returning home from shopping, which was deeply etched in his heart.

Seeing him nodding, Chu Guang said, "Tomorrow, you can borrow tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks from the village chief. Be careful when you move them, and don't hit them. Come back when you borrow them. Don't delay on the way."

Chu Ci laughed. I am afraid that in the eyes of his family, he is no different from the child, so he spoke to him in such a tone of admonishing the child.

However, only happy people have the right to be children, and he still likes this feeling.
