Zhao Yuru reached out and pulled Brother Li into her arms, patted his back gently, and said with a smile: "Then you will live with your third uncle and three aunt from now on, and your Jiahuan brother will make delicious food for you every day." , your eldest brother will also come to the shop to eat every day, it is just as lively as we are here in the village."
Brother Li was a little shy and thanked in a low voice, "Thank you, third aunt."
Li Laosan also said: "If there is no rush over there in the academy, It's okay to let Brother Li stay at home for a few more days. Let's go back, tidy up the house, and sew two quilts for the child."
Li Zhensheng waved his hands, "That's not necessary. I rented a yard in Luo'an before, and everything is there. Ready-made. Let Brother Li take you over to get your things, and also refund the rent for that yard."
Li Laosan nodded, "Okay, don't worry, brother, leave this matter to me."
At this point, Brother Li has afternoon It was decided that he would go back to Luo'an to study with Jiaren.
Everyone was busy organizing food and supplies, wishing they could load the entire yard onto a mule cart and take Li Laosan and the others away.
After lunch, the third child and his family got in the car with Jiaren and Brother Li, and the fourth child Li drove the car and set off.
Zhao Yuru also wanted to catch her youngest son and give him some instructions, but unfortunately Jiaxi and Jiaan were afraid that the cat brother would cry, so they took him to the hot spring valley to play early.
When the sun went down, Brother Cat came back. He couldn't see his brother, so he started crying.
Everyone took turns coaxing him to stop his tears.
That night, Mrs. Li hugged her grandson to sleep, and Jiayin ran to stay with Mrs. Cui.
It's not that she doesn't want to sleep with her mother, it's just that her mother is too tired to take care of the family's meals during the day. If she sleeps with her mother, her mother will always be thinking about covering her up, drinking water and even feeding her at night. If you wake up late, you will definitely not sleep well...
Mrs. Cui has been back for two days. Due to the large number of Li family members, she has not come over to chat and sit. Now she has seen the good news, but she is very happy.
On the way, Jiayin secretly took out two cantaloupes from the space and carried them with the hem of her skirt. Now they became a late night snack for the aunt and nephew.
Mrs. Cui didn't think much about it, thinking that the cantaloupe was secretly left by the Li family for Jiayin, their precious baby.
Sister-in-law Qiong shared half of it, and the aunt and nephew happily shared the rest.
Jiayin acted coquettishly and said that grandma no longer loved her, but only loved her brother, which made Mrs. Cui feel bad. She coaxed and coaxed her, and finally opened the jewelry box and found a twisted silver bracelet and gave it to her.
Jiayin immediately smiled and hugged the bracelet in her arms while sleeping. How could she remember whether her grandma cared for her or not?
Mrs. Cui and Sister-in-law Qiong were laughing so hard, and the small yard became more lively because of the addition of a child...
Although the autumn harvest has passed, every household in the new village is still very busy.
The sun-dried melon vines, peanuts, and sweet potato vines in the fields have been completely dried by the sun and the autumn wind.
Choose a day when the autumn wind is lighter, light a fire, and when only ashes are left, plow the ground again and spread the farmyard manure that has been piled up all summer.
In this way, after winter and spring decomposition, the lost fertility of the field will be replenished, and the soil fertility can even be improved a lot.
However, because there are fruit trees planted on the mountain, it is inconvenient to burn the wasteland. The villagers are required to carry pickaxes or shovels to plow the mountainous area bit by bit, and spread more fertilizer around the tree roots.
The winter here in Xindu is much warmer than in the north. There is no need to burn a stove in the house in winter. Only in the coldest month of the twelfth lunar month, just light a charcoal basin.
But in order for the elderly and children to live comfortably, it is best to burn the big kang.
When the big kang is hot, there is warmth in the house. The whole family gets together, talks, laughs, and does some small jobs, which makes Maodong feel more comfortable.
Therefore, in the morning and evening when they have free time, men from every household go to the mountains to chop wood, pull it back on carts, and pile it neatly outside the courtyard wall.
Some industrious families would go to the river to cut reeds and wicker sticks, and prepare them to make kang mats or baskets during leisure time in winter.
And this time is also the happiest time for the boys in the village.
They followed the adults, went up the mountain to catch pheasants and rabbits, and went down to the river to catch fish. They had a great time.
Brother Cat has been a little tired recently because his brother went to study.
Li Laosi couldn't bear to leave, so whether he was going up the mountain or down the river, he had to take his nephew with him.
Of course Jia An Jia Xi will not be left behind, and he also has to take his sister with him.
Even though grandma was worried, they tied their sister to their backs with a bamboo pole and carried her away.
After holding back the good news for a long time, I finally found the time to show off my skills.
The rabbits in the space began to commit suicide in batches again, sending eggs under the roots of trees and duck eggs into reed nests, all pretending to be wild.
Crucian carp as big as a palm and grass carp weighing five to six pounds rushed towards the net in groups.
Jia An's family couldn't stop laughing, and Brother Cat also clapped his hands red, laughing his head off.
The other naughty boys swallowed their saliva with envy, following their brothers and occasionally getting a little light.
In the evening, the naughty boy brought home fish, shrimps, eggs and duck eggs, and his family had to ask where they came from.
Then the naughty boy would shout excitedly, "It's Fu Niu. We followed Fu Niu everywhere and picked up so many good things. Fu Niu is really a little lucky star!"
Their family members were not surprised at all, but laughed and scolded them. .
"Do you think the name Fu Niu is for nothing? This girl is born with luck!"
"Yes, let's not talk about how lucky the Li family has been in the past two years, let's talk about such a noble person as the Marquis, how come he only cares about Fu ? Girl? This girl is very lucky!"
The family said a few words before being stopped by the old man.
"Our own family members only need to know these things. In the final analysis, whether it's Fu Niu'er, the Li family, or the Marquis, they are all from our village, and we all benefit from any good deeds. But when outsiders You know, if the publicity is too great, you might get jealous and get into trouble."
"Dad is right, when outsiders mention our village, they are already envious and jealous. We'd better live our lives honestly and not be too public."
The children and grandchildren in the family agreed one after another. , fried the eggs brought back, stewed the fish, and started the meal in a lively manner.
For seven or eight days in a row, the children in the whole village were immersed in the joy of going up the mountain and down the river.
Li Laosi occasionally carried his daughter into the mountains on his back, and he could carry back several bags of walnuts, chestnuts, dates, and even red fruits and yellow pears every day.
Uncle Zhao and others helped tan the rabbit skin and sent it back to Li's house to make coats for the children in winter.
Tao Hongying also took the time to smoke out rabbit meat and hang it on the beams of the warehouse.
Pears, fruits, etc. are hidden in the cellar, euphemistically called, and kept as gifts during the New Year.
In fact, these are just pretense and excuses.
After all, Jiayin would have a fruit appear in her hand from time to time, but she was very generous, and the old men and the young and old in the family could often get some.
Without covering it up like this, it would be hard to explain where her fruit comes from.
In the busy schedule, half a month has passed.
The foundation of the school was almost completed, and the walls had begun to be built. Li Zhensheng finally recovered enough that he could walk out of the yard and take a leisurely stroll.
At this time, Brother Cat was also tanned to a black charcoal, and he was no different from the children in the village.
He can eat, drink and sleep every day, and his little fists are getting stronger and stronger. He is no longer the weak child he was before.
The whole family was happy about this. Li Laosi also took time to drive a mule cart and took Brother Mao and Jiayin to Luo'an to send some mountain goods to the third brother's family, and also let Brother Li see his healthy brother. It's so easy to read.
On this day, the old lady was peeling peanuts in the yard. The linoleum cloth covered half of the yard, and there were peanuts everywhere.
This was taken back from the river beach.
The village chief made the decision, and the family shared two bags, dried the peanuts, peeled the peanuts, and then sent them together to the oil pressing mill.
Mrs. Cui had nothing to do, so she came over to help chat with the old lady.
Jiayin ran around on the linoleum with bare feet, making trouble.
