"Didn't you do it on purpose? Did your sister deliberately knock herself into a rabbit's mouth?"
Mrs. Li spoke mercilessly to scare her two reckless grandsons.
Jia'an and Jiaxi couldn't see how seriously their sister was injured, so they thought that their sister would really become like a rabbit, with a three-petal mouth.
They cried louder and louder, as if the sky was falling.
Everyone in the family couldn't help laughing, including Jiayin, but his mouth hurt when he laughed.
She is not a real child, so how could she hold grudges over such a trivial matter.
So, she reached out and ran towards the two naughty boys.
Old Mrs. Li said, "Stop crying, come here and give me a hug. Your sister is so good! You threw her like this, and she's not even angry."
Jia'an and Jiaxi quickly wiped away their tears and ran forward.
The two of them felt even more uncomfortable as they hugged their sister's chubby little body.
"Grandma, we must take good care of our sister in the future."
"Yes, we will never abandon our sister again."
Jiayin endured the pain and kissed each of them on the face, and the little storm was over.
The family has income again, and it is so generous.
Everyone, old and young, was happy, and the lunch was very sumptuous.
I stewed a smoked rabbit, cut a piece of pickled bacon and fried cabbage, steamed a large pot of rice, and also made egg soup.
Jia An and Jia Xi ate without even raising their heads.
Once a bowl of rice is in your hand, it will be gone in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Yuru quietly gave the rice in her bowl to her son.
I'm so young, I'm a poor man!
Mrs. Li was feeding her granddaughter custard and thinking about it in her mind.
Jia An Jiaxi is ten years old this year. Although the age is false, he is actually more than eight years old.
The family always has to plan their future for them...
Jia An's family enjoys eating happily, and they have no idea that their days of crazy fun are about to end...
At night, the whole village fell asleep.
As usual, this is the busiest time for the Li family.
Watering the fields cannot be short of manpower. Therefore, the only one who is binding vegetables at home tonight is Mrs. Li, who brought home An Jiaxi.
There is also good news that makes me drool while sleeping, keeping company with me.
It's really tiring to put water and cut vegetables. This little baby of hers was on overload.
Mrs. Li was worried about her granddaughter, who fell again during the day.
So, she put two chairs together to form a small cradle. A mattress was spread in the middle, and my granddaughter put it inside. It was safe and comfortable.
Occasionally when she is free, she can shake a cattail leaf fan for her granddaughter.
In addition to green vegetables tonight, there is also a pot of cherries.
Jia An Jiaxi was drooling while bundling vegetables.
Mr. Li was so funny that he picked up a few cherries for his grandson to satisfy his craving.
"This thing is too valuable. If you sell it, the money will be of great use to your family. Just taste it. It will rain in a few days. You can have as much as you want."
"Don't worry, we know."
"Yes, we don't steal it . Eat."
The two boys responded happily, never looking at the pot again.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but sigh. In this damn world, there are constant natural and man-made disasters.
In previous years, children would just lie on the tree and eat something as cheap as cherries.
Now it is actually a valuable thing!
When Good News is picking cherries, I am impatient to pick. There are cherry leaves in the clay pot, and some bad fruits.
But Mrs. Li has no intention of picking and cleaning.
This thing is willing to rot if it gets wet, so it can only be eaten immediately after washing.
The grandfather and grandson were busy for most of the night, all the vegetables were packed in baskets, and the roosters crowed.
Li Laoer and Li Laosi also rushed back from the fields, and they wanted to set off immediately.
Otherwise, when villagers get up early to fetch water, they will run into trouble.
The big green mule worked very hard, so Mrs. Li specially prepared a cabbage for it.
Daqing ate a big gulp and set off in high spirits.
Because of the cherries, the sales are better today than yesterday.
At three o'clock in the morning, the mule cart returned.
The income was fourteen taels, which was put into the money box by Mrs. Li.
The whole family was filled with excitement and joy.
Money is what keeps the whole family alive.
They never imagined that they would leave their hometown and come to a foreign place. There are still such good days!
"Hongying, make more steamed egg custard at noon, and then cut into pieces of meat. The work at home is too tiring recently, so eat better. Replenish your strength!"
There was unconcealable joy in Mrs. Li's eyes, "There is no shortage of these things at home now. Yes!"
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru both laughed and responded loudly.
At lunch, the family ate even more delicious food, but the old men next door were confused.
The Li family is struggling. Are they planning to finish one meal and miss another?
The old man wanted to ask the Li family, but was stopped by Uncle Zhao.
He comes in and out of the Li family the most, so there are some vague guesses. The Li family must have some way of making money, otherwise they wouldn't be so "wasteful".
They don't need to dig deeper, just hope that the Li family will get better and better.
Therefore, the old men worked harder to water the fields at night.
The saber that had been treasured for many years was also taken out to prevent wild animals from the mountains from coming down and harming the crops.
Because within a radius of dozens of miles, the Li family's fields are the only ones that are a little green.
In the rest, all the mountains and forests have turned yellow, and every family's crops are completely hopeless.
Everyone seemed to have taken dumb medicine and remained silent.
They didn't know what to say, or they couldn't find any way to ask for help.
When I came to Li's house to fetch water in the morning, the yard was extremely quiet.
No one gossiped, no one laughed.
Only the Li family is still busy.
Rest during the day, carry water to water the crops, and pack vegetables into baskets at night.
A dozen taels a day, this money was earned like water, and the money box was filled up in almost a few days.
The mood of the Li family is extremely contradictory.
I hope it will rain soon and put an end to this drought. Secretly, I wanted to hold on for a few more days, so that I could sell my home for more money.
Jiayin is also very tired. She is busy filling water, cutting vegetables, and picking cherries every day.
Even so, I still have to think about food and nourishing the body for my family.
She took out a lot of meat from the refrigerator in the small courtyard, and almost only fish and shrimps were left.
Even the hens in the yard were reluctantly caught by her.
Fortunately, the old hen that lay down on the nest earlier was very capable.
Today, more than 40 fluffy chicks have joined the big family.
The young and old of the Li family steamed eggs, scrambled eggs, stewed meat, and stewed chicken every day, constantly taking supplements. But even the strongest Li Laosi was much thinner...
Just like that, another half month passed.
Finally, one afternoon, a few white clouds came from the sky.
Everyone stared at it, not daring to speak or holding firewood to cover the sauce vat.
The rules passed down from the elders are not to catch the rain.
Just before it rains, rushing to do things can easily scare the rain away.
I don't know if there is any scientific basis, but at this moment, there can be no mistakes.
The whole village was extremely quiet, silent and heavy.
Everyone didn't eat dinner and sat in the dark night, waiting quietly.
Finally, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a sudden explosion of thunder.
Big raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the roof, the treetops, and the fields that had been dry for a long time!
"Woo, we're saved!"
I don't know which woman was the first to cry out, which completely aroused everyone's pain and ecstasy.
At night, countless people ran out of their homes, shouting in the heavy rain.
"It's raining, it's raining!"
Some people even knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically, not knowing what they were thankful for.
The children rushed into the puddle and rolled around hard.
