Chapter 932
Tao Qini was fishing by the pond, and the mottled sunlight fell on her through the shade of the trees.
"Ni'er is really leisurely." Tao Shiwu said funny when he looked at his girl's timid look.
"How did you catch fish?" Shen looked at the fish basket that was not halfway into the pond and said, "This fish is not big, it is only the size of a palm."
"I fish for fun, and I won't eat them, so I'll put them in a while." Tao Qini looked at them with a smile and said, "Sit down, there is a cool white bloom on the table."
Mrs. Shen held the teapot and said, "Do you want it?"
"I'm not thirsty." Tao Qini turned around and looked at Shen and said.
Mrs. Shen poured two glasses of water, handed Tao Shiwu a cup, sat on a bamboo chair and looked at her and said, "We're sleeping, you're fishing here."
"It's cool." Tao Qini said without looking back.
"I'm not afraid of mosquito bites!" Tao Shiwu looked at her with concern and said.
"I planted mosquito repellent grass, so there are no mosquitoes in this yard." Tao Qini put down the fishing rod in her hand, turned around and looked at them and said, "I'll get a good night's look when I'm sleeping." She smiled and said, "When I move to a new home, I'll sleep well in the kang."
"What can we do if we don't know how to use rice like Ni'er?" Tao Shiwu frowned slightly and looked at her and said.
"If you don't know how to do it, just learn it! What a simple thing." Shen said casually, putting the teacup he had finished drinking back on the bamboo table.
"I have to learn what I'm right." Tao Qini looked at them with gentle eyes.
"You still have to learn!" Tao Shiwu looked at her in surprise and said.
"Seeing what my father said, I don't know everything. Of course I have to learn what I have never seen before." Tao Qini smiled with her index finger rubbing her nose, "It's just that I've learned it faster."
"That's right." Shen looked at Tao Qini with gentle eyes and said, "We have watched her learn all the way, and we don't know how many times we have failed."
"Dad, you can plant something else first!" Tao Qini looked at them with gentle eyes and smiled slightly, "We can plant it."
"Is it OK? You should focus on food." Tao Shiwu thought for a while and said, "What we planted can't fill our stomachs."
"I don't have to worry about the wasteland, but I can plant it." Tao Qini smiled and said, "Dad just can't be idle."
"I feel empty when I'm idle." Tao Shiwu put down the teacup in his hand, "I'll try it." He walked to Tao Qini and said.
Tao Qini opened the place, "This is bait made by earthworms." He pointed to the small box under his feet and said, "Hang them on the fish hook."
"I understand." Tao Shiwu smiled and nodded, fishing with great enthusiasm, "To put it, this is my first time fishing!"
"Didn't Dad catch fish?" Tao Qini said in surprise.
"I'm talking about fishing. I've caught the fish, so I have to hand it over to the landlord." Tao Shiwu said without looking back, "This is the first time we're eating fish on the way to fleeing the famine."
"I didn't know before, but after reading the "Dayan Law", I realized that the landlord killed the tenant farmers, which was a lower crime than killing ordinary people. The landlord could whip and drive the tenant farmers and treat them as slaves." Shen looked at her with dark eyes and said, "We used to think it was normal for us to be slaves for generations. Everyone around us came here like this. Now I know that the law also stipulates this way."
"To be honest, if we hadn't followed the rebel army, we wouldn't know what the white flour bun tasted until we died." Tao Shiwu turned around and looked at her and said.
"Good days are coming! We don't want those hard days anymore." Tao Qini looked at them with her warm eyes as warm as jade and said gently.
"Well! I have to think about it." Shen said, blinking his eyes like water, "Only when I think of the bitterness in the past, I cherish the sweetness in the present."
"You are remembering the bitterness and sweetness!" Tao Qini curled her lips slightly and smiled, "Would you like to dig some grassroots to remember and remember."
"I really can't eat it." Shen thought about it and smashed it, saying, "Unless it is sweet and sucked as water."
"Hehe..." Tao Qini shook her head and laughed when she heard this.
"Don't laugh, really, I'm looking at the bark now." Shen pointed to the big tree behind Tao Qini and said, "I just wondered how we ate it in our stomachs." He looked at her with deep eyes and said, "Maybe it's like you said that you're so hungry, you can really eat anything."
"I must have a variety of food, and I won't let us go hungry." Tao Qini looked at them with clear and upright eyes and promised.
The persistence in food is beyond imagination and is engraved in my bones.
In the end of the world, she had no food, and her food and drink were all nutrient solution. She was just illustrations seen in the album for real food or food, and she was not as pious as they were.
Even on the way to escape from famine, Central Plains, where the drought is the most severe, can make herself live well with them with her own abilities.
"Let's learn how to grow rice together first." Tao Shiwu looked at her with a simple and frosty face and smiled foolishly, and suddenly remembered, "I won't be leaving this time, right! You've been walking for a year or two."
"There is no big deal, it probably won't be possible, this is not accurate." Tao Qini chuckled and said, "There are always unexpected things in life."
"Then we won't move again this time, right?" Shen asked, blinking and looking at her.
"Oh! This! I don't know, what we said doesn't matter." Tao Qini looked at them with a smile and said, "Why isn't this place good?"
"It's good, it's just that I feel out of place here." Shen thought with his head tilted.
"As for the local customs, I will find history books and local logs for you, and learn about the land under our feet, and you will not feel strange." Tao Qini looked at them with a warm smile.
"Okay, okay!" Shen nodded hurriedly, "Also! They talk differently from us. Should we learn?"
"It is natural to learn to follow the customs of the countryside." Tao Qini nodded with a whisper, "But we'd better learn Mandarin, which can be used everywhere."
"Mandarin language?" Tao Shiwu looked at him in surprise and said.
"It's logically speaking, it's the words under the feet of the emperor." Tao Qini looked at them and said.
"The nobles and nobles in Yanjing City don't speak Chinese," Tao Shiwu thought.
"I will turn around and ask Master Yao about this, but we can understand his words and say it too. It's not a big problem." Tao Qini thought about it and looked at them and said.
"It seems that we have a lot to learn." Shen said with clear and translucent eyes looking at them.
"Living until you are old, learning until you are old. Isn't it just learning! Just learn!" Tao Shiwu's eyes were shiny and his whole body was full of energy. His confusion about the arrival of a new place disappeared without a trace.
"The fish bites the hook." Tao Qini lit the hook behind Tao Shiwu, and his fish bladder was up and down.
Tao Shiwu quickly turned around and said, "Why are you biting the hook? It's been so long since I've been moving. I thought the bait had been eaten long ago." As he said that, he lifted up the fishing rod and caught the flapping fish, "Ah! So small! Is it as thick as my two fingers!"
"Then let it go!" Shen said without thinking, "It won't be much meat if you peel it, so it's trouble."
"Okay, put it." Tao Shiwu put the fishing rod on the bracket beside the pond, took the fishing line and took the flapping little fish off the hook, and put it back into the pond.
"Did you feed this fish? Why is it so small?" Shen asked with autumn eyes like Shen's eyes looking at her.
"No, this pond is full of living water, which is connected to the river channel outside. The fish ran in by itself." Tao Qini said, pointing outside.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of bells, "Where did the sound of bells come from?" Shen asked at her blinking.
"Someone is here." Tao Qini stood up and smiled, "My yard is not small. If someone comes, I can't hear knocking on the door, so I simply tied a bell to the door. I don't hear it." He said while walking, "I'll go and see who is here."
After the words disappeared before them, Tao Qini opened the yard gate, "Madam Lian, long time no see, are you okay!"
"Madam Yao." Nanny Lian said to her with a blessed body.
Tao Qini avoided her blessing gift and folded her fists to return the gift.
"Mrs. Yao can't do this." Nanny Lian's face changed slightly and said, looking at her.
"What can't be done? We need common etiquette! But we are experiencing life and death together." Tao Qini looked at her gently and said, "You are an elder here." Without waiting for her to speak, "What is Madam who is here?"
"Oh!" Nanny Lian remembered, "My lady asked me to give Mr. Tao and his wife daily necessities and clothes."
"Come in, come in." Tao Qini stepped aside and let Nanny Lian and her group walk in smoothly.
"So many!" Tao Qini looked at the four boxes they were carrying in in surprise and said.
"There are also the seasonal clothes for Mrs. Yao and Mr. Yao inside." Nanny Lian said as she walked, "It was all sewn by my lady with her own stitches."
Tao Qini was slightly moved when she heard this, "Sister Zhong, I will talk about her the next day. She is so busy, why do you have to do it yourself? There is a ready-to-wear shop outside, so I'll buy it."
"Miss, I said! The clothes shop outside are not as good as those of my lady." Nanny Lian smiled and said with a flowery face, "These clothes are made of cotton, but there isn't them outside."
"I haven't asked yet? How about cotton this year?" Tao Qini said as she walked.
"It's OK! This year the soldiers have cotton coats and covers them with quilts." Nanny Lian said happily, "I don't know if Jinling is cold or not."
"It's cold, the snow is no less than in the north. It's cold, cold, cold outside, cold inside." Tao Qini shivered exaggeratedly, "Mummy must be prepared to keep the cold through the winter."
"Thank you, Mrs. Yao, for reminding me." Madam Lian said with a loving look at her.
"Ni'er, who is here?" Shen walked over and looked at them and said, seeing Madam Lian's blessing, "Why is Madam Lian coming?"
