Everyone was thinking in their hearts, but they kept using their chopsticks.
Several dishes tasted so good, and they went well with wine and rice, and everyone praised them.
Suddenly, the courtyard became more lively.
The village chief smiled and took a sip of wine, sighing inwardly.
Qingshui Village has been deserted for too long, and now that the Li family has arrived, it may be a good turn.
The village will definitely become more prosperous and lively in the future.
"Sister-in-law, the Liu family is talking bad about your family all over the village. Logically speaking, you are relatives, why are you so angry?"
An old woman was sitting next to Mrs. Li chatting. Maybe she thought Mrs. Li was very cute. He kindly reminded me in a low voice.
Mrs. Li held Jiayin in her arms, pulled the fine cotton towel under her neck to wipe her saliva, and sighed.
"It's all sad things to say, so don't talk about them."
"Ah, you have to talk about it, otherwise everyone will think that your family has a really easy life and look down on your poor relatives."
My wife's surname is Sun, and she loves to hear that these parents are short-lived, and the village Most of the news about Erli came from here.
Mrs. Li said softly with red circles under her eyes.
"When my brother Li Gen'er was alive, he sent me many letters. When his son got a wife and a family member was sick, he borrowed a lot of money from me. My family's life was not easy at that time, so I sold all my dowry and sent it to him. Come here with the money."
She wiped away her tears and said again.
"I didn't want to fight. There was a riot outside the wall. We came all the way here in order to escape for our lives, but the Guo family and the nephews didn't even let us in. They were afraid that I would bring up the money that I lent them to the Liu family!
I I was so heartbroken that I told the Liu family to break off the relationship at that time, and the Liu family agreed. From now on, we can just be ordinary villagers."
When she heard what she said, not only Grandma Sun, but also other women also felt disgusted with the Liu family.
Heartless, supercilious, these words are all used against the Liu family.
I have to say that Mrs. Li's trick is really good. Sometimes it is easier to get people on your side by pretending to be pitiful than by being reasonable.
Jiayin spat out a big bubble of saliva and was once again grateful to be reborn into a good family.
Brothers are united, sisters-in-law are harmonious, and the grandmother who heads the family also knows how to adapt.
Even though the days are a bit difficult, as a family, we can always make it better if we work together.
The Liu family lives at the entrance of the village, which is a bit far away from the Li family, but the village is quiet. You can vaguely hear a few voices talking and laughing, and smell the fragrance in the wind.
"A whole family has suffered a thousand blows!
After inviting so many people, they didn't invite us. Isn't this why they gave us little shoes to wear?" Liu Tiezhu blushed with anger and his neck was thick.
Guo's eyelids were drooped and her face looked bad.
"That aunt of yours is the best at winning people's hearts. She doesn't help her relatives when she has money, but instead invites others to eat! Sooner or later, their family will not be able to survive!"
Liu Laifu on the side rolled his eyes and also said.
"Mom, don't be angry. Sooner or later I will deal with them and get all the money back!"
He said this as if the Li family's money should belong to their family.
Mrs. Guo finally looked better after being coaxed by her son.
Liu Laifu took the opportunity and said, "Mom, give me some money, and I'll go to the county town to find Wu Er.
Wu Er also doesn't like the Li family. His sister is the second daughter-in-law of the Li family and knows the Li family best. With his help, I want to If you want to cause trouble for the Li family, it will definitely be easier to deal with the Li family!"
Mrs. Guo doted on her second son the most and actually gave him a handful of copper coins.
Without waiting for a few instructions, Liu Laifu had already run out of the house.
Revenge against the Li family is a trivial matter. Going to the casino to win money first is important!
The villagers received warm hospitality at the Li family and became much closer to the Li family.
At least everyone knows that the Li family is generous and their food is delicious.
The next day, the young and old in the village started harvesting, and their busy feet did not touch the ground.
The Li family had no crops to harvest, so they were very leisurely.
After dinner early in the morning, Tao Hongying took Zhao Yuru to the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables.
Before leaving, Tao Hongying left two bowls of rice oil in the pot for her daughter, not afraid that she would be hungry.
The two sisters went up the mountain talking and laughing without asking Wu Cuihua. Anyway, even if Wu Cuihua followed, she was just being lazy, so she simply didn't call her.
Yesterday, Li Laoer saw that many elderly people in the village were having difficulty walking, so he wanted to take the boys to help them with the autumn harvest.
He only said a few words, and Mrs. Li agreed without hesitation.
"Bring more cakes and don't eat other people's food. It's not easy to collect some food."
Mrs. Li told her son, holding Jiayin in her hand, bowing her head and kissing her chubby face.
She dared to say that there was no shortage of food at home, and this confidence was given by her precious granddaughter.
Li Lao Er, Li Lao San and Li Lao Si took Jia Ren and the other boys and went straight to Uncle Zhao's house next door.
Uncle Zhao was in his early fifties, but he lost one leg and one eye on the battlefield.
Nowadays, he is a single man with no children, and he is also the one who has the most difficult autumn harvest in Qingshui Village.
"Uncle Zhao, let's help you cut the crops!"
Jiaxi Jia'an was naughty. Yesterday, he pestered Uncle Zhao to tell stories about the battlefield. Now he was familiar with it, so he called out as soon as he entered the door.
"Brother Zhao, your legs and feet are inconvenient. We brothers are here to help you with some farm work."
Li Laoer smiled and greeted Uncle Zhao. Without waiting for Uncle Zhao to speak, he took his younger brother and nephews through the Zhao house. We went to the fields in the backyard to cut sorghum.
The sorghum poles need to be piled together to dry, and the sorghum heads need to be cut off and put into bags, carried back to Zhao's yard to dry, and finally beaten down to finish the work.
Li Lao Er and others wielded sickles, while Li Lao Si and Jia Yi were responsible for carrying the bags, walking as fast as flying.
Uncle Zhao lamely boiled water and carried it to the field. Jiaxi and Jiaan happily ran forward to pick it up.
Uncle Zhao touched their heads, the circles under his eyes were a little red.
"Tell me, how can I thank your family!"
"My grandma said that neighbors and villagers should help each other. Uncle, sit down while we go to help with the work!"
Jia Xi Jia An After drinking enough water, he ran away again.
The Zhao family didn't have much land, only two acres, and the Li family took it all in one day.
Uncle Zhao asked someone to stay for dinner, but no one in the Li family was willing to do so. Li Laosan didn't forget to give his instructions.
"Uncle, I think your roof is old. I'm afraid it's leaking. After the autumn harvest, I'll help you repair it."
Before Uncle Zhao could say anything more, the Li family all went back.
Just like that, in the next few days, the eight young and old men of the Li family took turns helping the villagers collect their land.
Most of these families are retired soldiers, and their fields are also provided by the county.
One person has two acres, and the tax on food and grain is half that of ordinary farmers. It is considered to be taken care of by the court.
They don't have the energy to buy more. They just pay the tax every year and have enough food and clothing.
The eight members of the Li family work neatly, one day at a time, and have good tempers.
Everyone in Qingshui Village will praise the liveliness of every house you visit.
"No wonder the Li family is full of children and grandchildren, and their life is so prosperous. They are all kind-hearted people, and they are all people with great blessings!"
The old lady in the village was sitting in a place chatting, and she stood upright when the Li family was mentioned. Thumbs up.
