Farming and teaching across different worlds

Chapter 213

He also opened his mouth and said, "Xiu Ran will teach you as a brother by the way."

Ji Xiuran turned his head to look in surprise, and asked incredulously, "Third brother also wants to learn?"

Shi Jingchen nodded and said, "It feels like going back and forth like marching and fighting, which is quite interesting."

Ji Xiuran nodded blankly, and said: "There is such a saying, if the third brother likes it, then I will teach you."

When Shi Jingchen heard his words, he smiled softly and said, "Then I will trouble Xiuran."

After hearing this, Jia Bao joined in the fun and said, "Then I will trouble Daddy."

Ji Xiuran listened, took a look at their father and son, then nodded lightly, as a response, and then raised his head inadvertently, Ji's father, who happened to be watching, looked at him eagerly, paused for a moment, and then calmed down He said: "Father, if you are interested, you can come and listen."

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren study together to be unruly or something, and he doesn't pay much attention to it here.

The four of you are teaching and learning together and get along harmoniously. When Ji's mother and the others come back, Jiabao can easily play against Ji Xiuran.

Hearing the movement, Ji Xiuran raised his head from the chess game to look at the few people who came back empty-handed, and asked curiously, "Didn't you see the object you like?"

It's really strange that several people came back empty-handed.

When Mother Ji heard his question, she replied with an unnatural expression: "It's pretty good, but it's too uneconomical, so I didn't spend that unreasonable money."

Ji Xiuran turned his head and glanced at the people following her, seeing the embarrassing expressions on their faces, he probably knew what was going on.

It's nothing more than that Ji's mother has committed the problem of frugality again, and thinks that the things here are too expensive.

Ji Xiuran smiled faintly, pretending not to know and persuading him: "Since that's the case, then I won't buy it. I'll find someone to buy some cheap ones if your mother likes something."

Mother Ji responded happily after hearing this, and said: "I saw a good piece of brocade, but unfortunately the asking price is more than double that of ours. You can buy more."

Ji Xiuran nodded and promised her to buy some back in a few days.Boss Zheng also sells some of this brocade brocade when he goes to the business, and I told him about it before, but he thinks there is still cloth at home, so he doesn’t take it to heart. Since Mother Ji wants it, then I’ll get it from him Some are.

Originally, Ji Xiuran thought that there was still stock in the warehouse at home, so he didn't want to add more, but women's pursuit of these things is completely different from that of men, even if there is stock, they still want to buy when they see good ones.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuran smiled lightly, and didn't care too much, as long as the family is happy, it's more important than anything else, isn't it?

Mother Ji saw that they were having fun playing outside, so she brought Da Hong into the room, leaving the five of them to continue playing chess happily.

Ji Xiuran played for a while, and found that it was not early, so he asked someone to serve some food, and then went home after eating in Piaoxianglou.

As the Spring Festival approached, Ji's father and mother became busy, preparing for the New Year with the servants at home every day.

Seeing them busy, Ji Xiuran was afraid that they would be tired, so he persuaded them: "Father and mother, you should take a rest, let the servants prepare for these things."

Ji's father and Ji's mother retorted disapprovingly: "It's only meaningful to do the New Year's work yourself, otherwise it won't be like New Year's Eve."

The two elders are also used to being busy, and if they are not allowed to be busy during the Chinese New Year, they feel that there is no taste of the year at all.

Ji Xiuran saw that there was nothing to persuade them, so he didn't stop him anymore.

Seeing that he was worried about the two of them, Shi Jingchen also took off his outer robe, rolled up his sleeves and came to help them.

Seeing Shi Jingchen approaching, Father Ji handed him the hammer with a smile on his face, and walked to the side to beat him.

Shi Jingchen was also unambiguous, picked up the wooden pounder and started pounding it against the stone mortar. The rice cakes are only delicious if they are made by hand.

Ji Xiuran silently looked at the two people who were in full swing, and had no choice but to order someone to move a few stools to worship beside them.

He sat down next to him, and Jia Bao, who came to look for them after practicing calligraphy, also came over, and squatted down next to the stone mortar to watch with interest.

Ji Xiuran was a little reluctant at first, but when he sat there, he saw Shi Jingchen vigorously waving the gavel with a joyful smile on his face, Ji's father beside him showed a smile, and Jiabao was full of surprise Excitedly looking at his grandfather and father.

His own heart was also infected by them, and a joyful smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

After a while, a large bowl was brought over from the kitchen. Mother Ji fried crispy meat, meatballs, lotus root, etc. to eat. Ji Xiuran didn't care about the rules, took the bowl, picked it up and put it in his mouth, and started to eat.

The mouthful of crispy fragrance makes people can't help recalling every ordinary and warm year at home.

Jia Bao smelled the aroma, turned around and saw his father eating there alone, and protested dissatisfied: "Daddy stole it again!"

At this moment, Shi Jingchen and Ji's father, who were working together to beat the rice cake, didn't stop their hands when they heard Jia Bao's words. They just beat the rice cake while turning their heads to look at Ji Xiuran.

Hearing Jia Bao's words, Ji Xiuran deliberately picked up a crispy ball, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and showed Jia Bao a look of enjoyment on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Jia Bao jumped up in dissatisfaction, ran to him, and said loudly: "The child wants to eat too."

Ji Xiuran deliberately teased him to raise the bowl in his hand high, while the other hand was still in front of him, so that he couldn't reach the bowl in his hand no matter how he danced, he screamed anxiously.

Seeing him teasing his son like this, Shi Jingchen felt that his son was a bit pitiful, but seeing him in such a good mood, he didn't say anything to stop him, but looked at the father and son with a gentle smile.

It was still Father Ji who couldn't see it and said, "Xiu Ran, don't play tricks on Jia Bao anymore."

Only then did Ji Xiuran mercifully put down the bowl in his hand, and let Jiabao eat the contents.

Jia Bao is also well-behaved. After getting it, he didn't just eat it for himself. He handed it to his grandfather and father first, and let them eat it before eating it himself.

Father Ji was very pleased with this move, and kept praising Garbo with a smile all the time.

Jia Bao was a little embarrassed by his grandfather's praise and hid behind Ji Xiuran, which made Ji Xiuran laugh unkindly when he saw him like this.

When Shi Jingchen saw Jiabao's flushed little face with shame and anger, he couldn't bear it, and called Ji Xiuran helplessly, "Xiuran."

Ji Xiuran received Shi Jingchen's disapproving look, and knew that he had gone too far, so he held back his laughter, coughed lightly and made it good, and stopped making trouble with Jiabao.

Seeing that his father no longer laughed at him, Jia Bao sat down next to him without holding grudges.

Ji Xiuran handed the bowl to him, and he picked up the food inside and sat there obediently to eat.

Seeing that he was so sensible, Ji Xiuran also smiled in relief, raised his arms to embrace him, let him lean on his body comfortably, raised his eyes just in time to see Shi Jingchen looking over, and immediately smiled at him, Shi Jingchen looked Their father and son wanted to look harmonious, and smiled at him.

After a while, Shi Jingchen's rice cakes were finished. Father Ji took the rice cakes out of the stone mortar, put them in a basin, cut them into small pieces with a knife and put them on the tray. Then put some soybean noodles, brown sugar noodles, and white sugar. , let them dip and eat.

Shi Jingchen walked over and picked up a piece, Qing stuttered and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

Seeing that he was so happy eating, Ji Xiuran urged: "Third brother, bring me a piece too, I want to eat soybean noodles dipped in it."

Shi Jingchen looked back at him, smiled slightly, picked up a piece, dipped it in soybean noodles, and handed it to his mouth.

Ji Xiuran originally wanted to take it with his hands, but when he saw him handing it to his mouth, he opened his mouth without pretense, ate it, and squinted his eyes enjoying it.

Jia Bao, who was leaning on him to eat meatballs, saw his father and father eating happily, and clamored for them too.

Shi Jingchen also fed him a piece.

Ji's father next to him happily saw how their family got along so deeply, and then silently prepared another plate of rice cakes, and brought them to Ji's mother who had been busy in the kitchen all morning.

When they were full, the Dahong couple also just cut the red paper for the couplet.

Ji Xiuran, the nominal head of the family, of course had to write a few copies, and the couplets on the gate and the main hall should be written by him in person.

This year, Jiabao also practiced her handwriting well, and she took the initiative to ask to be responsible for her own yard.

Dahong and his wife started writing in their own yard after discussion.

Ji Xiuran took care of the rest, and after writing a few, he handed the pen to Shi Jingchen and asked him to write some too.

Although Shi Jingchen knew that his handwriting was not good, he did not refuse. He took the pen and began to draw on the paper.

In a short while, a picture of the door god was completed. Although the painting was not exquisite, the fierce aura that came to his face was enough to drive away evil spirits.

Ji Xiuran picked it up and admired it for a while, then nodded appreciatively and said, "Third brother's painting skills have improved, this pair of door gods is just right for sticking on our door."

Shi Jingchen naturally asked how his level was. Seeing that Ji Xiuran cared about his face so much, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and said, "It's good that Xiuran likes it."

Chapter 171

After a few days of busy work, it was New Year's Eve, and the Ji family prepared a reunion dinner early.

At noon, they got together as a family and had a reunion dinner.

After eating, Ji Xiuran recruited all the servants in the family, gave them red envelopes for this year, and let them take turns to take vacations.
