There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 1001

[Chapter 1001, picking ears of rice]

Seeing Xiao Moreng and others who came hand in hand, Daohua put down the red dates in her hands, wiped her hands and said with a smile: “Hey, some noble young masters are here, I almost thought that Did you abscond in fear of crime?”

Xiao Moreng smiled mischievously: “Auntie, we knocked over the mooncakes in the kitchen, and we came here to admit our mistake.”

Daohua looked at the little radish heads in front of him: “You all know that you are wrong?”

Daozi A few nodded quickly: “We were wrong.”

Daohua nodded with a smile: “Very well, knowing your mistakes can improve you a lot. Making mistakes is not terrible. ”

As for you, you are all good boys. For the sake of admitting your mistakes, the punishment for you can be slightly reduced.”

Hearing this, Xiao Moqing became anxious: “Auntie, we have already admitted our mistakes. Do you still want to punish us?”

Daohua’s smile remained unchanged: “Of course, although you admitted your mistake, the mistake has already been made, do you know how many mooncakes you knocked over?”

Xiao Moreng and the others stopped talking.

Daohua: “The kitchen steward just came over and said that a total of 250 mooncakes were overturned, not to mention how much time the cook took to make these mooncakes, just how much food these 250 mooncakes cost. Is it?”

Seeing that although his son bowed his head, there was not much guilt on his face, and the grandsons of the emperor even looked disapproving, Daohua was silent for a while:

“You are in a wealthy family, and you have been clothed and well-fed since childhood. , no lack of clothing, I don’t know how precious food is hard to come by.”

“You have wasted so much food today, and I will not punish you too much. Go in and collect the wasted food, and this matter is over.”

Hearing this, Xiao Moreng heaved a sigh of relief, and the two hundred and fifty moon cakes should not require much food, and they will be collected soon.

Daozi and Xiao Moqing were eager to give it a try. Go to Zhuangziye, they can go out to play, this punishment is really great.

Seeing the happy faces of the little ones, Daohua smiled and said, “Remember, you knocked over the mooncakes, so after you go to Zhuangzi, you can’t ask others to help you, can you do it?”

Daozi immediately promised loudly: “Yes!”

Daohua smiled and nodded: “Very well, I believe you are all good children who keep their word.”

Seeing the wolf-grandmother’s smile on his mother’s face, Daozi felt a little uneasy. It shouldn’t be difficult to collect food, right? ?

That night, when the families came to pick up the grandchildren from the palace, Gu Yu smiled and told about the fact that the grandchildren would go to Zhuangzi to experience life tomorrow.

“The princess said that this is just her way of punishing my little prince. If you don’t agree, the grandchildren don’t have to go tomorrow. After all, you are the guardians of the grandchildren.

” Opinion, plus the emperor’s grandsons came to Xiliang, and they hadn’t gone out to play, so they readily agreed.

Early the next morning, under the escort of the guards, led by Chu Lang and Dong Li, Daozi and Xiao Moreng took a carriage to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.

In late autumn, the earth is full of fruits.

After leaving the city, Daozi and the others excitedly opened the curtain of the car and looked at the endless golden fields outside.

Chu Lang rode beside the carriage, smiled and said to Daozi and the others: “Diaozi, did you see that the upland rice growing in the field is grown from the rice cultivated by your mother?”

Hearing this, Daozi His chin immediately lifted, and a look of pride appeared on his face.

Chu Lang: “Most places in Xiliang are short of water. If your mother hadn’t cultivated upland rice seeds, it would be a problem for the people of Xiliang to eat rice.” The

rice said ‘ah’: “The people even eat rice Sorry?”

Xiao Moreng and the others were also surprised.

Chu Lang smiled and said: “Of course, you think everyone is like you, and you have a good birth.” He said, pointing to the children who helped their parents harvest in the field next to them.

“Did you see those children who are about your age in the field, while you were still sleeping, they got up and went to work in the field with their parents.”

Looking at the skinny children in the field, Daozi muttered : “They are all so skinny!”

Chu Lang: “It’s not because they don’t have enough to eat, or else, they must look like you.”

Seeing a big tree by the side of the road, there happened to be a family eating the housewife. When the breakfast was just delivered, Chu Lang stopped the carriage and said to Daozi and the others, “Do you want to go and see what they usually eat?

” After getting into the carriage, Xiao Moqing and the others followed.

Chu Lang took Daozi and the others towards the intersection, and the diners looked at them warily.

After walking in, Chu Lang smiled and asked about the autumn harvest, while Daozi and the others watched the family’s breakfast.

A pot of wild vegetable corn mush that wasn’t too sticky, some boiled potatoes the size of a fist, and gone.

Xiao Moreng looked at the little boy who was similar to himself, and asked: “Do you all eat this little thing in the morning?” The

little boy was a little cautious, but he still replied: “My family’s food is already very good, there are porridge, potatoes, can you My stomach is full.”

Over the years, because they have planted potatoes and corn, they can eat three meals a day during the autumn harvest. If it is like when they were young, there were no potatoes and corn at that time, and they could only eat two meals during the autumn harvest. , still not full.

Xiao Moreng and others were very surprised by this answer: “Is there anyone who eats worse than you?” The

little boy showed a complacent look on his face: “Of course, my family opened up a lot of wasteland a few years ago, all of which were planted with potatoes and Corn, in our village, many people in our family can’t keep up with the food.”

“Like Widow Li’s family, their family can only eat two meals a day, and they only have potatoes, and they don’t have polenta.”

Daozi, Xiao Moreng and others: “.”

Chu Lang was talking with the old man, waiting for a few little guys After communicating with the children of the farmer’s family for a while, he led them back into the carriage.

This time, the little ones were not as excited as when they first came out.

Xiao Mobao: “They are so pitiful!” After finishing speaking, he looked at the soft fat on his body, feeling rejoiced in his heart, fortunately his father is the prince, otherwise, all his blessings would be gone.

Daozi and Xiao Moreng agreed with each other.

Zhuangzi will arrive soon.

The children’s emotions came and went quickly, and when the carriage drove into the Zhuangzi, seeing all the novelty in the Zhuangzi, Daozi and the others forgot the emotions just now.

Chu Lang didn’t let the little guys go crazy in Zhuangzi, got out of the carriage, and took them directly to the field.

At this moment, in the field where the end cannot be seen as far as the eye can see, the tenants are lowering their heads and bending over, vigorously waving the sickle in their hands, cutting down pieces of rice, and then neatly rowing them in the field.

Seeing that Chu Lang brought them here, Xiao Moreng had a bad feeling in his heart: “Grandpa Chu, auntie, don’t you want us to cut rice?”

Chu Lang smiled and shook his head: “That’s impossible, how can you do this? Planting hard work?”

Hearing this, Daozi and the others all heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Lang smiled and continued: “Your aunt told you to pick up the ears of grain that fell from the ground.” As he spoke, he bent down and picked up an ear of grain from the ground as a demonstration.

“Yesterday, you overturned hundreds of mooncakes and converted them into ears of grain. You only need to pick up two bags.”

Looking at the two big bags Dongli was holding, Xiao Mofeng and Xiao Mokuan, who already had a clear understanding of the quantity, felt a little The scalp is numb, how long will it take them to pick up enough?

Daozi and Xiao Moqing didn’t react much, but they thought it was easy.

Isn’t it just picking ears of corn? It’s simple!

Chu Lang smiled and handed out a small bag to Daozi: “Let’s start, let me see which of you picks up the most?”

Daozi hung the small bag around his neck and stretched out his small chest: “Grandpa Chu, Just look at mine.” After speaking, he got off the ground first.

Seeing that the rice had dropped to the ground, the others could only follow.

Chu Lang stood on the ridge of the field and looked at it with a smile on his face. Not to mention, girl Yan’s way of punishing the little fellows was really good.
