Comparing who is taller, this may be very childish in the eyes of adults, but in the eyes of children, this matter is very serious and deserves their whole hearts to pay attention to txt download.

Chen Qian said he wanted to be taller, but even Goro didn't say he wanted to object.

"Just compete." Lian Man'er smiled.

After discussing it, several children asked Goro to stand next to the poplar tree first. Then Chen Qian walked over, took out his small silver knife from his arms, raised his feet, stretched his arms, and drew a horizontal line on the poplar tree next to Goro's head.

Then it was Xiaoqi's turn. Xiaoqi stood against the poplar tree, with his small body straight and straight, for fear that he would be shorter than he could read the full text. When Chen Qian cut his height on the tree, he was afraid of getting confused with others.

"Xiaojiu, lend me the knife for use." Xiaoqi said to Chen Qian.

"I am older than you, you have to call me Xiaojiu Brother, no, you have to call me Jiu Ge." Chen Qian said seriously. He had never asked this before, but now he suddenly knew that in the eyes of Lian Man'er and others, he was a little bit like Xiaoqi, which made him sensitive. Letting Xiaoqi call him Brother is to establish the fact that he is older than Xiaoqi.

"Brother Xiaojiu, please lend me the knife to use it." Xiaoqi didn't argue with Shen Qian. He was the youngest at home. He was used to calling people and sisters, and there was not much more than Shen Qian.

When the fat man heard Xiaoqi calling him like this, he was so happy that he didn't care about the small words, so he handed Xiaoyin Knife to Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi took the little silver knife and wrote a seven-character character next to the one marked with his height on the poplar tree.

Then, it was Lian Man'er and Shen Qian's turn.

"Man'er, come first." Chen Qian looked at Lian Man'er, rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

Lian Man'er couldn't tell what Chen Qian was thinking. She only found it a little interesting and a little funny. She didn't argue with Shen Qian, so she leaned against Yangshu and stood up straight.

"I'll do it." Chen Qian snatched the silver knife from Xiaoqi's hand, and carefully drew a piece of the poplar tree on top of Lian Man'er's head. After the marking, he neatly wrote the word "Man'er" next to him.

Then it was Chen Qian's turn himself, and he handed the silver sword to Goro. Obviously, in his eyes, Goro was the most fair. Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi, because they were shorter than him (what he thought so himself), could deliberately lower his height.

"Okay, let's measure." Chen Qian leaned against the poplar tree and adjusted his posture for a long time before he told Wulang.

"Xiaopang, you can't tiptoe your heels." Lian Man'er looked down at Chen Xiaopang's feet, then raised her head and looked at his face and said.

"I, I haven't." Chen Qian's chubby face immediately turned red.

"Oh..." Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi looked at Chen Qian and deliberately elongated their voices.

Chen Xiaopang had no choice but to put his secret tiptoe heel flat on the ground again. Goro smiled and then drew a line on the tree next to Chen Xiaopang's head.

Chen Qian waited for Wulang to draw it and immediately turned around. After seeing that his horizontal line was so high as Lian Man's, the fat man smiled and narrowed his slender eyes into a slit.

"Man'er, look, I'll say I'm taller than you." Chen Xiaopang said to Lian Man'er, as if this was a great thing and a very proud thing.

"Really?" Lian Man'er opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then complained to Goro, "Brother, why are you helping him? Not helping me."

Goro just laughed.

"Xiaojiu is indeed taller than you... a little, Man'er. I'm a helper, not a kiss."

When there were no outsiders present, Lian Man'er liked to call Chen Qian the little fat, while Wulang and Xiaoqi called him the little Jiu.

Chen Qian was even happier when he heard Goro say this. He took the silver knife from Goro and carved a nine-character next to his scratch on the tree.

"Little Pang. Your sixth brother is the general in front of the envoy. When did this happen?" Lian Man'er asked Chen Qian.

"It was the last time I went back from this time, my sixth brother went to the capital and reported to the emperor about the construction of the temple for my aunt. The emperor appointed my sixth brother as a general and asked my sixth brother to return to our prefecture to be the general officer, saying that it was convenient for me to take care of my grandmother and supervise the construction of the temple for my aunt." Chen Qian said.

Lian Man'er suddenly realized that this was the case. Liaodong Prefecture was an important northern town in the Ming Dynasty. Although the frontier had long been pacified, Liaodong Prefecture still stationed heavy troops all year round. He appointed Shen Liu as the former general of the conquering the enemy and led the general of Liaodong. He was the family of the emperor who gave preferential treatment to his deceased wife. However, if he had not had the great trust in Shen Liu's loyalty and ability, he would not have been arranged to be in such an important position.

"Previous general, general officer, how high is that?" Xiaoqi touched his face and asked Chen Qian.

"He is a second-rank official." Chen Qian said, paused for a while, and he added, "Sixth brother is the fourth former general of our family to conquer the enemy."

Lian Man'er heard some meaning from Chen Qian's words. Later, she asked Mr. Lu, and then she learned that the former general of the Ming Dynasty led the general of the Liaodong Prefecture and commanded all the troops and horses of the Liaodong Prefecture. This official position has always been held by the Shen family. The ancestor of the Shen family who made great contributions to pacifying Liaodong with the founding Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and then established the foundation of the Shen family.

"Before, Brother Six has been in the Jinyiwei." Chen Qian said another sentence and stopped talking.

Even Man'er didn't continue asking, and she led Chen Qian to the furry field next to the shop.

"Xiaopang, you planted it with us. Look, it grows well." Lian Man'er pointed at the hairy tree and said to Chen Qian.

"Ah. It's so tall and it's still blooming!" Chen Qian looked up for a while, and his heart was filled with surprise. The hairy seedlings he helped planted at the time were still taller than his knees. Now the hairy hairy has grown two and he can't reach the hairy dish.

"Man'er." At this time, Lian Zhi'er walked over with a basket.

"Sister, what's the matter? Are you here to find us? Master Liu is leaving?" Lian Man'er asked.

"No, I'll come out to pick vegetables. Seeing that you haven't been back for a long time, I'll come and take a look." Lian Zhi'er said.

"Pick vegetables, let's go, Xiaopang, I'll take you to pick vegetables." Lian Man'er pulled Chen Qian and entered the vegetable garden again.

"...This cucumber should be picked up evenly, and the flowers with thorns are picked, fresh and delicious..." After entering the vegetable garden, Lian Man'er carried the basket and directed Chen Xiaopang to pick vegetables.

Chen Xiaopang likes this job very much. Lian Man'er pointed at the east and never went west, and was particularly obedient. Today he wore a goose yellow robe and crawled around in a green vegetable field. His chubby little face turned red in a while.

Lian Man'er couldn't help it, so she raised her hand and pinched Xiaopang's face.

She got used to pinching Xiaoqi. When she realized that Xiaopang was different from Xiaoqi, her hands had already pinched Xiaopang's face twice.

This feels as good as Xiaoqi's face!

Chen Qian was breaking a stick of corn, holding it in his arms and trying to put it into the basket that Lian Man'er was carrying. Lian Man'er's face was pinched. He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Lian Man'er, his movements were fixed there.

Lian Man'er felt a little embarrassed at this time and hurriedly let go of the expression on her face, as if the hand that was going to pinch someone's face was not hers.

Chen Xiaopang looked at Lian Man'er with a complicated expression for a while.

"Brother Xiaojiu, look, I'll catch the mantis for you."

Xiaoqi ran over with a mantis in his hand, which attracted Chen Qian's attention.

After picking a basket of fresh vegetables, Lian Man'er cooked it up in person, then went into the house to ask Chen Qian.

"Xiaopang, are you hungry? My mother has prepared the meal. Do you think you and your sixth brother have something to eat?"

Chen Qian had already seen the food prepared by Zhang and the others. He came out early in the morning and didn’t eat much breakfast. Later, he only ate two snacks. He smelled the aroma of the food in the kitchen, Chen Qian was a little hungry.

"I'll ask Brother Six." Chen Qian said, and really ran to ask Shen Liu.

The county magistrate of Jinyang County and gentry from far and near all came to hand in the post to meet Shen Liu. Shen Liu was in Lianji's shop and summoned the county magistrate to speak. What exactly was said, Lian Man'er was not present, and she didn't know. She only knew that in just a while, the county magistrate made a sign and stood around their cornfield. She also posted a notice, which was the general intention that the idle people would not approach. If there was any stealing or damage, it would be regarded as a serious crime and severely punished.

"...I also said I would send someone to see you." Zhang said to Lian Man'er, "I originally planned to wait a few days before the corn in the area grew, so we would have to hire more people to see Qing. The county magistrate would be much more worry-free when this happens. Thanks to Mr. Shen Liu."

Chen Qian went to ask Shen Liu, and Shen Liu asked Lian Man'er and the others to bring the prepared meals.

Lian Man'er and Zhang brought two large trays to deliver the food and placed it on the table.

There are not many styles of food, but each one is simple and exquisite.

The first dish is stir-fried fish fillets, which are the silver carp I just bought. Put the fish fillets from the fish body, and use toothpicks and tweezers to remove the small and fish bones. Wrap the egg white and put them in the oil pan. After the oil is over, it will be taken out immediately. Then stir-fry the iron pan, add only a little oil, and stir-fry the fillets and peppers over high heat to stir-fry out the pan. The second dish is pine nuts, which is the tender corn cob that has just been broken off. Grab the corn kernels, first scald with boiling water, take out immediately, then put the pine nuts into the pan and pass the oil, then add a little oil to the pan, put the pine nuts and corn into the pan and stir-fry slightly, and thicken them out of the pan with thin sauce.

The third dish is the most substantial, but the simplest to make, which is a must-eat pickle dish for every meal in their village. Cut the tender cucumbers, eggplant, sweet peppers, green onions, dried tofu, and even the black rice they just found from the field into small pieces, place them on a large plate, and place a small bowl in the center of the plate, inside which is the big sauce that has just been taken out of the soy jar.
