Road safe and sound, back home just when it is almost dinner time, mother Chen’s anxiously waiting at the gate, see yourself riding a yellow ox shaking to come only to wipe out the mother’s worries.
The dinner meal is generally only the great aunt asked Zhu Pingjun private school things, what Jun’s performance in the private school is good ah, the teacher has not complimented you ah, in the private school learned what and so on. Zhu Pingjun also did not let her disappointment, together with the big blow special blow, what I am in the private school performance can be good la, and the relationship with the same door in good, the husband also good to me also praised me, because I study seriously hard ah, in the private school to learn to recognize the word, recognize the word four, do not be too simple, and so on.
Every time Zhu Pingjun a sentence, the great aunt’s eyebrows fluttered to be very happy.
On the pickled pickles nibbling cake Zhu Pingan only speechless spit, I do not know the eldest aunt if you know Jun the first day of enrollment in the table sleep drooling will be how to think, of course, they will not go to do the bad guys to break this thing. Husband has already given Jun his punishment, and if Jun knows his mistake and can change, Husband has delivered enough lessons. If Jun is stubborn, he will not be able to do anything more, but he will also be thought to be jealous of Jun by the eldest aunt and the girls.
The family’s pickles are all grandmother’s hand pickled, had to grandmother although eccentric, but the pickles can be described as a masterpiece.
Radish strips, cucumber strips, such as emerald clear, fresh color and taste, sweet and sour, crisp, mellow and refreshing, the flavor is unique and mouth-watering.
So many days, this dish of pickles, it accompanied Zhu Pingan under the meal, under the porridge, if it is missing, the meal is not fragrant.
“It’s better to watch swine children eat fragrantly.” Third Aunt watched Zhu Pingan crunching his meal and drinking congee, and couldn’t help but praise him.
“So, I was right to let swine’s son herd the cows.” Great Aunt is praising Zhu Ping Jun in the heat of the moment, after being interrupted by Third Aunt, her face is unhappy, how can Second Brother’s child be compared to her own child, he is just herding cows to dig for food in the soil, her own child is going to study to be a scholar.
The mother Chen’s face is not happy, but it is not good to attack, grandmother is watching from the sidelines, so I had to take Zhu father to take the anger, one, two, three, and so on.
The father of Zhu bared his teeth and cracked his mouth.
Not to mention what we did after dinner, only Zhu Pingan after dinner, like a thief, took the scissors went to the barn, a few moments clutching a handful of yellow cow tail hair joyfully came out.
Put the scissors back to the original position, Zhu Pingan intercepted a section of finger-thin bamboo, pouting in the water will be cattle tail hair to the bamboo pole.
This work is not good to get ah, tail hair stuffed into, but do not know what to use fixed, hand touch either fell or shrink to the inside of the bamboo pole to go.
“Swine’s son don’t play with the water, the water is cold at night, go back to your room early to rest.” After grandmother wandered around the yard, she saw Zhu Pingan messing with the bamboo in the water basin and thought he was just being playful.
“Got it, grandmother.” Zhu Pingan promised.
Grandmother prodded again and went back to her room by herself.
Father Zhu followed the sound and saw his son pouting and playing in the water, so he couldn’t help but walk forward and hold one hand with one arm against his shoulder, riding a big horse just like when fathers teased their sons.
Zhu Pingan is pressing the tail hair of the cow, was Zhu father so a hug and a resistance, suddenly flew up, the soul of the poor are scared away.
Zhu’s father saw Zhu Pingan holding a bamboo pole and ox-tail hair inside his hand, and could not help but curiously ask why, and when he realized that Zhu Pingan was trying to make a brush, he felt guilty and amused at the same time. Guilt is that he is not able to provide his son with reading and learning, funny is that this stupid son even want to do their own brush, brush that is done. They do not have the ability to provide their son with reading and education, then make a brush for him to play it.
After making up his mind, Zhu’s father took the initiative to make a brush for Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Pingan lifted his face, looked at Zhu father, some do not believe, Zhu father and never read, how can make a brush.
“Your great uncle father time to study, the brush with the fee, I go to the pen ink paper and ink stone store often go to your great uncle father to buy pen ink, time long with the fellows there mixed well, also learned to do their own brush, more or less to save money for the family, just your great uncle older, do not need to use me to do the brush. But over the years, my craftsmanship has not fallen behind.” Father Zhu seemed to be reminiscing about the time with some sighs.
In this era of the Ming Dynasty, there were only two meals, the morning meal and the feeding meal, the morning meal was at around eight, and the feeding meal was at around five in the afternoon.
It was after the morning meal that Zhu Pingan once again went to herd cattle.
“Hehe, why am I looking at our family’s cows, there’s something strange there.” Fourth Aunt murmured to herself with a frown as Zhu Pingan rode the old yellow ox out the door.
The cow’s tail was cut off by a pinch, how could it not be weird.
Zhu Pingan sniffed and hurriedly guided the old yellow ox and stepped out the door. If the fourth aunt sees that she cut the cow’s tail, I don’t know what else will happen.
Today to cattle, in addition to yesterday’s things, Zhu Pingan also brought a narrow bamboo basket, has been a brush and a black lacquer on the a4 paper large board, this piece of wood is found in the stove room, may be a part of what furniture, furniture is bad repair, this piece of wood is useless on the board was thrown to the wood room as firewood.
The brushes and boards were used for practicing brushwork, using a bamboo tube to hold some river water, the brushes can be dipped into the water to practice brushwork on the black lacquered boards for a short period of time, which can be recycled indefinitely, and saves ink and paper, which is a multi-purpose solution.
The narrow top and thick bottom of the bamboo basket is used for fishing, last night pestered Zhu father storytelling heard the fishing method.
The warm sunlight shines through the thin clouds, shining on the white earth, reflecting a silvery light that shines on the people and cows on the road in the mountain village, coating them with circles and circles of golden and silver aura.
The cow’s hooves stepped over the one-wood bridge to the hillside, where the grass remained the same, and yesterday’s loli was gone.
Zhu Pingan now the river bumped a bamboo tube of river water, and then led the old yellow ox to the hillside halfway to the bamboo forest before the old yellow ox will be replaced by a tree tied, so that it can eat fresh tender grass, but also can be allowed to be eaten by the ox yesterday’s grass have a chance to recuperate and recuperate.
Bringing his own dabbling equipment, he walked through the bamboo forest and once again came outside the schoolhouse, found an inconspicuous corner, and sat down to dabble.
The time was just right, the children’s morning reading had just ended, and the teacher was about to start a new day’s lesson after questioning a few children.
