Chapter 100 Going to school
"Aunt San, let Taohua and Lihua sit down and eat, stop busy, so many dishes are enough for us." Su Jinchen said.
"Well, there is no hurry, there is the last dish, it will be ready soon." Taohua smiled, and turned to the kitchen. She also drooled in her heart. She said that she was treating them to eat, and at the same time she was also considered to be a reward for her family. She was really busy during this period.
"Haha, the last dish! The delicious glutinous rice egg is here." Taohua shouted, secretly proud, guaranteeing that they had never eaten it.
When Taohua also sat on the table, she looked at everyone and said, "Why aren't you moving yet? The food is not delicious when it is cold."
"We are waiting for you, chef." Su Jinchen said, with a faint smile in his eyes, like clouds.
"I feel so guilty about it. I originally invited you. Today, you and Brother Zhang Meng are the protagonists." Taohua said, calling Jin Dazhong and Zhang, "Dad, let's start eating."
"Well, let's start." Jin Dazhong raised his chopsticks and said.
"Jinchen and Zhang Meng, you all eat it. Don't be polite, just be like at your own house." Zhang also said, pointing to the dishes on the table to the two of them. "The girl Taohua made it after busy all afternoon at home, which is not as good as the ones in the restaurant. Don't dislike it."
"Uncle and Aunt, this is already very good." Zhang Meng said very realistically.
Peach blossoms also looked at the table of dishes with a sense of accomplishment, sweet and sour fish, shredded potatoes, braised pork, kung pao chicken, spicy and sour cabbage, hand-slurry cucumbers, peanuts soaked in vinegar, stir-fried pork with green peppers, glutinous rice eggs, sauce-flavored tofu, braised eggplant, and the last simple rice wine egg flower soup. The combination of meat and vegetables is salty and sweet.
In fact, there are few people in ordinary households who are so particular about the banquet. They serve a large pot of meat. The advantage is that they are the guests’ favorite. But peach blossoms don’t know these.
"This is not worse than in a restaurant. It's just like Mingyue Tower." Su Jinchen said, savoring it carefully, feeling a little surprised.
"Well, peach blossoms are delicious." Zhang Meng picked up a piece of braised pork, and the corners of his mouth were shining.
"Haha, then you can eat more food." Taohua said, picking up a few more pieces of meat for Zhang Meng and adding a few more pieces of fish. "Try this fish quickly. I poured the soup after it was fried. I tried the soup several times before it tasted good. It was also very good."
Zhang Meng looked at the high job in front of him and smiled at Taohua, "Yes, OK."
Here, Kim Dazhong and Zhang looked at each other, and the more they looked at Zhang Meng, the more they liked him.
Su Jinchen talked to Jingsheng about the progress of the school's construction. Jingsheng has not been in the village many days, and wanted to ask when it will be built.
"I guess I have to wait until it is completely built. I have to go next year. My father's intention is to build some of it first, and take the rest slowly, and it will not affect schooling. So it is okay to start school in autumn." Su Jinchen and Jingsheng said, looking at Taohua involuntarily. Seeing Taohua keep picking up food for Zhang Meng, she became absent-minded. The chopsticks in her hand unconsciously poked the soup in the bowl. This was what Zhang had served for him before.
"Can we go to school together then?" Jing Sheng asked happily, and when he saw that Su Jinchen had no reaction, he pushed him, "What do you think? So enchanting."
"Oh, sorry, what did you say just now." Su Jinchen smiled apologetically and took his eyes back.
Jing Sheng repeated it again.
When they heard the two discussing the school, Mingsheng also asked Zhang Meng, "Brother Zhang Meng, then the school starts, are you going to go too?"
Zhang Meng shook his head and said, "My father said he asked me to go, but I don't want to go. It's too boring to read and write all day long."
"Hmm? Brother Zhang Meng, aren't you planning to go to school?" Taohua was surprised.
Seeing Zhang Meng nodding, Taohua frowned and said regretfully: "You are not short of money, why don't you go to school? How many children can't go even if you want to go? Besides, going to school is not as simple as reading, reading, writing, and writing. It can make you less narrow-minded and you can know a lot of things without leaving the village and understand a lot of truths. Why don't you go? Just treat it as listening to the teacher telling stories."
"Is that true?" Zhang Meng hesitated.
"Yes, you're not hunting all day long anyway, so it's better to go and tell stories and watch the time." Taohua continued to fool her, but she couldn't stand a great boy wasting her time.
"Listen to the teacher's story?" Su Jinchen was speechless.
Li Hua was a little envious. She was illiterate anyway. When she heard everyone discussing school affairs, she wanted to be a boy so that she could go to school with justification.
Jin Dazhong and Zhang were so excited when they saw a group of children talking about going to school. Jin Dazhong coughed softly, and saw several children looking at them, and smiled at their two daughters, then turned to Su Jinchen and said, "Jinchen, if the school starts to sign up, not only Jingsheng and Mingsheng are going, but also Lihua and Taohua are going. Please tell your father, how much money will be, we won't lose a penny."
"Well, okay." Su Jinchen looked at Jin Dazhong unexpectedly and nodded. Unlike ordinary wealthy families, few families in the village are willing to send their daughters to school because girls cannot pass the exam and have to spend some money on tuition. They cannot help their family work during school, so in the eyes of most people, they are wasteful money and manpower.
"Dad, do you want to send us to school?" Unlike Lihua's surprise, Taohua's face was twisted when she heard it. In her previous life, she finally escaped from that demon cave. Could it be that she would fall into it again immediately? Didn't the ancients not allow girls to go to school? Didn't it mean that women have no talent to be virtuous? Could it be that their parents' thoughts are so advanced?
"Yes, it's enough to have your father and I at home. Even if you open a shop in the future, you won't need you. Go to school. The only regret I have for your father is that I have never been to school. So since you have the conditions, of course I will send you there." Zhang looked at his two daughters lovingly.
"Mom, is it painful to not see my expression?" Taohua frowned and pouted, feeling that her expression was done well, "I won't go to school, right? Let my sister go, I'll stay for you."
Zhang only said that his daughter was reluctant to spend money and comforted him: "It's okay, what can you help us at a young age? Go to school with peace of mind. That's how it was decided."
