In a happy mood, Li Mo decided to make a delicious treat for song Dashan that night.

Take out the last bit of white flour at home, and then ask song Dashan to go to the vegetable garden to cut down the newly grown leeks and make dumplings tonight.

When I heard that I was eating dumplings tonight, not only Xiaobao was happy, but also song Dashan's eyes were bright. He cut leeks very fast.

Next, Li Mo had little use. Song Dashan made all the dumplings by himself, from stuffing vegetables to kneading noodles. In the end, Li Mo didn't even make dumplings as fast as he did.

With song Dashan in, a meal of dumplings was quickly made. After a pot of hot water was burned, the dumplings were put in. When the dumplings were cooked, the whole family sat around the table, eating delicious dumplings. Not to mention how beautiful they were, Xiaobao's eyes narrowed, and his stomach was hard. He ate 15 dumplings and his belly was round.

Li Mo was full after eating ten dumplings, and the rest went into song Dashan's stomach. The whole family was satisfied.

"Aunt Mo, can we have dumplings next time?" Xiao Bao asked, looking at Li mo.

Dumplings are so delicious. He hasn't eaten them before.

With such a small wish, Li Mo is certainly willing to satisfy her child. Now she nods and agrees: "of course, you can wait for Aunt Mo to go to town and buy a lot of flour. After that, Xiao Bao will make it if he wants to eat."

Xiaobao immediately began to laugh, and he was already looking forward to eating dumplings next time.

After eating dumplings, it's still early. Song Dashan takes the chicken coop that hasn't been made up and continues to make it up with the candle light in the main room.

Li Mo also sat at the table, holding Xiaobao in her arms and teaching Xiaobao to count.

Xiaobao can only recognize two numbers, one is "one" and the other is "four". He doesn't know who he learned from, but he doesn't know the other numbers.

Li Mo is going to teach him numbers within ten first. For each number he teaches, he will stretch out a few fingers and read out the voice at the same time. Xiao Bao will read after her.

Li Mo found that Xiao Bao was very clever. She only taught him twice, and he immediately remembered that he could count from one to ten.

Li Mo stretched out three fingers at will and asked Xiao Bao, "Xiao Bao, what's this?"

Xiao Bao's black eyes turned around and immediately replied, "this is three!"

Li Mo stretched out five fingers again, "that is how many?"

Xiaobao thought for a moment and replied, "this is five!"

Li Mo bowed his head to kiss Xiao Bao's face and praised him: "we Xiao Bao are so smart. We all got it right!"

Xiao Bao is proud and shy. He looks at Li Mo's eyes, which are shining. His eyes are eager for Li Mo to ask.

Li Mo follows his idea, again stretch out seven fingers to let him recognize.

This time, there were a lot of fingers. Xiaobao broke Li Mo's hand and counted them one by one: "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, this is seven!"

Xiaobao then looks at Li Mo expectantly and asks her to announce the correct answer quickly.

Li Mo nodded heavily, "Congratulations, Xiao Bao, you're right again!"

Xiaobao immediately "cluck cluck" to smile, but also look at Song Dashan, eyes for praise means self-evident.

Song Dashan has been listening, and now he smiles and touches Xiaobao's head to express his appreciation.

Li Mo is a little surprised by Xiao Bao's intelligence. He is only three years old. No one has taught him before. He knows how to recognize numbers twice for the first time. He is really smart. Maybe he is a good material for reading.

Li Mo knows that the children of this era, especially the children in the village, don't attach great importance to education. One reason is the problem of concept. He thinks that it's OK not to read, and the people in the village are basically illiterate. Another important reason is that reading is too expensive, and they can't read without money. Like song Dazhu's good brother, reading a Book drags the whole family on. So Many people are struggling to earn money for a scholar. The villagers dare not send their children to study.

But as a modern person, Li Mo has a deep-rooted idea of attaching importance to education. It's impossible for her to watch a child work at home without reading. So she plans to teach Xiaobao by herself first, and send him to a private school when Xiaobao reaches a certain age. She doesn't want to be outstanding, but it's good to learn some skills. It's also good to be a teacher or accountant in the future It's much better than a country man who faces the Loess and faces the sky and doesn't have enough to eat.

Fortunately, Xiaobao is still young. When she can study for a few years, she can first teach some basic things, then save a little more money in these years, and then send Xiaobao to study in a private school.

What Li Mo didn't know was that just because of her decision, there was a famous young tanhualang after the Xia Dynasty, which was spread for a while. Of course, that's later.

The next morning, while Li Mo and Xiao Bao were still sleeping, song Dashan made breakfast and went out.

When Li Mo wakes up and finishes breakfast, he doesn't see song Dashan's figure. He doesn't come back until the sun rises. He has a big box in his hand.Seeing Li Mo, song Dashan immediately raised the box in his hand and showed it to her. "Li Mo, look at the box that I went to find Uncle Zhang to fight."

Li Mo doesn't understand, "this what?"

Song Dashan put his box on the ground and said, "don't you want to raise chickens? I've heard that uncle Zhao's family has just hatched a batch of chickens in our village. Later, I'll go to his family and buy some chickens. I'll raise them in the box first, and then I can stay in the cage when I grow up."

It turns out that the newborn chicks have to be raised in boxes.

Li Mo is very happy to be able to raise chickens. She has long wanted to raise chickens. Otherwise, she would have to buy an egg. Now she goes to Zhao Laogen's house with song Dashan.

Zhao Laogen's family specializes in brooding chickens. If they want to raise chickens in nearby villages, they will come to his house to buy them. Some people will give eggs to his house to brood them, while others will buy them directly from his house.

When Li Mo and song Dashan went in, a woman was moving the chickens from one box to another. A group of chickens were chirping. It was very busy.

Seeing Li Mo and his wife, the woman immediately said, "Dashan, is this your daughter-in-law?"

Song Dashan nodded and said, "Auntie, I want to buy some chicks with you."

The woman nodded, pointed to the box in front of her and said, "you're very clever. Recently, a batch of chicks have just hatched. They're all here. If you're a little late, you'll be bought by others. Come and choose."

Song Dashan puts the box on the ground, squats on the ground and looks into the box containing the chickens. Li Mo squats beside to see it, but she doesn't see anything. She feels that a group of chickens look the same.

The woman asked, "how many cocks and hens do you want?"

Song Dashan thought about it and said, "ten hens, five cocks."

The woman nodded, pointed to the box and said, "here's the rooster, next to the hen, in this box, you can choose by yourself."

Song Dashan looked at the chickens carefully. Then he put his hand into the box carefully and slowly picked out a selected chicken and moved it to the box he brought.

Three Wen for a hen and two Wen for a rooster. At last, Li Mo gave the woman forty Wen.

When song Dashan and his wife came out of Zhao Laogen's house, Li Mo couldn't help looking at the chickens in the box. They were tender and small. They looked lovely and tight. They were not the same as when they grew up.

"Brother Dashan, what does the chicken eat? What shall we feed them? " Li Mo asked.

Song Dashan said as he walked along: "such a big chick, cooked with millet, crushed and fed to them."

Li Mo asked again: "how many times should I feed them that day?"

Song Dashan: "three times a day."

Li Mo doesn't know how to raise chickens at all. He's always asking song Dashan for advice. When they get home, they see a carriage parked at the door. Many villagers are looking around the carriage. A young man is standing at the gate, as if waiting for something.

Li Mo and song Dashan look at each other and step forward quickly.

Song Dashan asked the man standing at the door, "who are you looking for?"

The young man took a look at Song Dashan and Li Mo behind him. He seemed to be confirming something. He arched his hand at Song Dashan and Li Mo and asked, "dare you ask if this is the home of Lady song?"

Song Dashan replied, "my family name is song."

The man nodded, then went to the carriage, facing the car, said: "mother, people come back, you come down."

As soon as the words came down, the curtain of the carriage was lifted. A middle-aged woman came down from the carriage and saw Li Mo standing there. She immediately said with a smile, "Lady song, I'm bothering you today."

Li Mo a look, this is not the last time to go to the town to make up Chen Xiaoting's mother.

"Mrs. Chen, why are you here?" Li Mo greets to go up to ask a way.

Mrs. Chen took Li Mo's hand and said softly, "I have something to ask you for help today. I don't know if it's convenient for me to go into the room and tell you in detail."

Li Mo reacts and immediately asks song Dashan to open the door and welcome people into the house. The carriage also pulls in.

As for the villagers who were watching at the door, Li Mo just said with a smile that a friend came to visit, and then closed the door.

When Mrs. Chen came in and saw the shabby appearance of the room, she was very surprised. However, she had never seen the market before. She immediately covered up her surprise and sat on the stool of the main room with a smile.

Li Mo brought two bowls of tea and said with a smile: "the family is simple, there is no good tea. I hope my wife and my son can make do with it."

Mrs. Chen immediately waved her hand: "don't be so polite." Then he looked at Song Dashan on one side and asked, "is this the Prime Minister of Lady song?"

Li Mo nodded, "it's my family in charge. It's song Dashan. You can call Dashan directly."

Mrs. Chen nodded with a smile, but she was very puzzled. She didn't understand how such a beautiful and capable little lady could marry a man with ordinary appearance and limp legs. It was really hard to understand.

But she didn't come here to think about it. She had more important things.Mrs. Chen took Li Mo's hand and said, "Mrs. song, today I'm also entrusted by others. One of my acquaintances knew about you putting on makeup for Xiaoting. I want to invite you to put on makeup. What do you think? If you can, I'll pick you up to town tomorrow. "

Li Mo asked with a smile: "is there a little lady to get married?"

Mrs. Chen thought about it and shook her head. "It's not a marriage, but it's almost the same."

What do you mean almost? Li Mo doesn't understand and asks directly: "can Mrs. Chen tell me who is looking for me to make up? So that I can be prepared. "

After a pause, Mrs. Chen leaned over Li Mo's ear and said, "to tell you the truth, it's Miss nine of the magistrate's family who wants you to make up."

Li Mo was a little surprised.
