hand to Old Mrs. Li. 。... Lao Li quickly waved her hand, "No, no need, elder sister..." 。She still had some reservations, but hearing that these people were just passing through and looking for lodgi...Li Lao Si didn't want the elderly to tire themselves out, so he opened his mouth to refuse, but Li Lao Tai went ahead and spoke first.

"Well then, I'll trouble the few elder brothers from now on."

Since the grandfather signed that land deed, the old men started eating meals with the Li family.

It has to be said, with six more mouths to feed, the kitchen work has increased significantly.

Fortunately, the elders are not particular about what is said, as long as it is cooked and warm.

So, the Li family didn't think it was too much trouble, but the elderly men still felt a little guilty.

Each person would only eat a bowl of porridge and one pancake per meal. They were content with being half-full, not wanting to take advantage of the Li family's generosity.

Now that they have a livelihood, they can help the Li family share the burden. In the future, they will surely dare to eat their fill.

As expected, Li Lao Tai gave the mule to them, and the old men were delighted.

When the children had their fill of fun, they led the donkey back home.

Li Laoer and his brothers got together, arranged some things, and repaired the pigpen on one side of Zhao's house. From now on, it would be the mule's territory.

All day long, people flocked to the doorsteps of both the Li and Zhao families.

All the villagers, young and old, have come to see it, naturally they are envious too.

Such a fine mule, it wouldn't be available for less than twenty taels of silver.

And there was a nearly new oxcart and plowshare, worth at least twenty-five taels.

The Li family's days are already so busy, even before spring planting season begins.

When some people are envious, there will naturally be those who feel jealous. When talking in private, they can't help but say a few sour words.

The Li family just loves to show off. They only have a few acres of land, yet they bought livestock. Over twenty taels, and who knows when they'll make back the money. They'll probably work for two years without profit, leaving them with just one mule.

It just so happened that the village head heard this and scolded him.

"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense! What do you know!"

He took the opportunity to tell Li's family about Zhao Laotou's six plots of land and how they were all bundled together.

Even though the Li family had a lot of manpower, thirty mu of land wasn't a small amount. Buying an animal would save them labor at home! Besides, the fourth son was a bodyguard, and his wife was a skilled cook. The second son was a teacher, and the third son was skilled in bricklaying.

The Li family doesn't find it difficult to make money, where would they be short twenty taels of silver Instead of gossiping here, you might as well put in more effort to learn a craft, so that you wouldn't envy others' lives!

The villagers' faces flushed with anger, and after a moment's thought, they retorted defiantly.

"Twenty acres of land, the Li family only provides food rations, they really took advantage."

The village head glared, “Taking advantage Should I go and mediate You’ve taken the advantage, haven’t you”

The villagers immediately shrank their necks.

Twenty mu of land, that's well said, one mu yields at least two taels a year.

Actually, there have been too many natural disasters in recent years. It's good enough if we can produce enough food to feed ourselves each year.

Moreover, Old Man Zhao and the others are getting old. What if they get sick or have accidents in the future Will we take care of them or not

It's hard to say whether it's a good deal or a loss.

The village head sneered, waving his pipe.

"Everyone knows what's going on, but you just have to speak up. I warn you, things are finally looking up in our village. You dare stir up trouble with your big mouth and ruin the good fortune Don't blame me for being harsh and kicking you out!"

"No, no."

Everyone bowed their heads and promised one after another.

They were really having a good time just now, talking and laughing. Thinking about it carefully, since the Li family came to the village, things have definitely been more lively.

When outsiders see them, they don't frown and avoid them, but rather greet them proactively.

Let's ask Lao Si's daughter-in-law how good she is at cooking. And let's also ask about Li family's granddaughter, is she really blessed I heard whoever holds her wins money...

Without mentioning the bustle both inside and outside the village, let's just say that the Li family continued their daily routine as usual.

It's March already, and Jia Yin finally learned to crawl.

It wasn't like a frog, hopping. It was a proper quadrupedal crawl, incredibly fast.

Now the big kang in the house belongs entirely to her.

Tao Hongying brought in some white rice porridge and salted duck eggs. She saw her daughter's tired face flushed red.

She couldn't help but chuckle, "This child is really something. More spirited than Jiaxi and Ji anjing when they were little."

Grandma Li, when facing her granddaughter, would automatically put on dozens of filters, finding everything about her granddaughter perfect.

"Full of energy, good health for our Fu Niao!"

Tao Hongying was helpless and knocked on her daughter's rice bowl.

Jia Yin quickly scrambled over and shoved the rice bowl into the old woman's hands.

The old woman laughed and hurriedly helped him up.

Jia Yin then took this spoon and ladled a bowl of white rice porridge, half a salted egg yolk.

Even before she started eating, her mouth was watering.

Finally got to eat salted egg yolks, I'm so excited, how do I break it

Last year, we arranged for family members to collect duck eggs and goose eggs. Around the New Year's time, our family also started eating them.

But she was too small, always out of reach.

Now, eight months have passed, and her diet has become much richer.

Although my little hands are still a bit uncooperative and often drop things everywhere.

But she still insisted on eating by herself, practicing over and over again, everything was for the sake of independent feeding as soon as possible!

To eat more, to grow up faster...

Days pass by quicker and quicker in the anticipation of good news.

Just as Jia Yin was first peeking out the window, trembling as she stood up, spring plowing began.

Besides Li Laotai and her granddaughter cooking at home, the whole family went to work in the fields.

Jiarren Academy also had a Spring Planting holiday, and Jiayi rushed back from outside.

This means that the Li family now has eight able-bodied laborers.

Home happiness and peace are counted together as one.

The newly bought mule was named Daqing. It was fitted with a plow and worked from morning till night, turning the soil.

For this, the Li family, in addition to hay, also feeds a meal of beans every day.

Uncle Zhao and a few others are in charge of delivering water and meals to the fields. They also need to turn over the vegetable plots for both families, build up raised beds, and plant the seeds.

In short, everyone, young and old, is busy.

Jia Yin felt sorry for her family and was helpless, so she would take things out of the small courtyard every day.

Today a piece of pork, tomorrow a pile of eggs.

The day after tomorrow, there will be another pile of fresh turnips and cabbage, and even two hens were thrown in.

Of course, there are still the most rabbits, because the rabbit couple in the small courtyard is really prolific!

Both the cabbage and radish should be supplied, so that they can all eat together as a family.

Good words can only help them, quickly realize the value of rabbit life...

Li Laotai was also used to it, welcoming everyone with open arms. She would do whatever her granddaughter gave her, without any reluctance.

At this time of year, during spring planting and autumn harvest, it is the busiest season.

Even the poorest families eat several bowls of plain rice.

If you don't eat enough and the food isn't good, you won't have the energy to work.

As a result, the Li family's dining table was unprecedentedly bountiful.

Almost every day there is a pot of braised rabbit meat, occasionally stewed with chicken and mushrooms.

Fried eggs and steamed egg custard are simply indispensable everyday dishes.

The Lee family, young and old, ate with mouths full of oil. On the other hand, Zhao Uncle and his friends were shocked and terrified.

Is there enough food stored at home After spring planting, will the whole family starve to death

But Li was afraid they wouldn't feel at ease eating, so he sent a lot of food each time, and even leftovers were not taken back!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so food left overnight spoils easily. There's no other way around it, the old men can only eat it with their heads down.

The village head remembered his old brothers. After finally finishing the work at home, he hurried over to visit them.

As a result, the old brothers didn't look tired at all, on the contrary, they had all gained weight...

Take another look at the breakfast table. There's a large bowl of rice porridge for each person, an oily salted duck egg, and a big plate of flatbread.

He couldn't help but drool, reaching out to break a half of the duck egg and satisfy his craving...

Besides cooking and tidying up the house, Lao Li also takes care of the household chores.

When she had some free time, she wandered around the village, asking everyone for seeds.

Chinese cabbage, radishes, oil beans, string beans, mustard greens, eggplant, pumpkin, in short, anything that has seeds.

Then, take it home and give it to the granddaughter.rial and others, so he has pardoned them and will not make their names public.""As long as each family strictly disciplines their children in the future, we can avoid repeating past mistakes.""Woooo,...
