Chapter 36: Remember to eat but not to fight

Chapter 36 Remember to eat but not to fight

Li Laoer was so angry that his mother-in-law gritted his teeth and just pulled her away and went back to the wing.

“If you don’t know how to speak, just shut up! My family members have good intentions, but it’s wrong when it comes to your mouth!”

Wu Cuihua was also jealous for a moment and became a little panicked at the moment, but it was too late.

Li Laoer was also furious and closed the door tightly to prevent his family members from hearing his scolding and feeling embarrassed.

Especially Jiayi, who is already in his teens, and seeing his mother being beaten into a pig’s head must have made her feel uncomfortable.

Wu Cuihua finally calmed down after being scolded a lot.

Of course this is temporary. After many years, she just forgets to eat and not to fight, and she can't change it...

Li Laoer thought about it in his mind for several days. That night, he went to my mother's house and had a few words with her.

"Going to the city to look for errands?" Mrs. Li was a little surprised, but it didn't matter after thinking about it.

Originally, my son worked as a bookkeeper in his hometown. If he hadn't escaped from the countryside, he could still have a decent job.

 Today we are working at home, and our son needs help from his brothers to study. It is understandable that he is anxious to make money.

But she had just settled down at home and was not familiar with the city, so she still felt uneasy, so she said.

“Second brother, it will take a while. After the new year, the weather will get warmer and our family will be on a firm footing. It won’t be too late for you to go to the city to look for errands.”

Li Laoer felt sour when he saw Li Niang's concern and reluctance.

After his father passed away, he relied on his mother to support the family. It was really not easy and he could no longer let her worry about it.

“Okay, mother, I’ll go and have a look in the spring.”

This matter was settled in this way, and it was the beginning of winter in a blink of an eye, and a first snowfall came quietly in the middle of the night.

A thin layer of snow fell on the ground, which did not completely cover the ground. Occasionally, black soil could be exposed somewhere.

But the children in the village were so happy that they ran around and played wildly. Jiaan Jiaxi was also one of them.

The good news was also new, and I wanted to join in, but unfortunately I could only lie on the kang and gnaw my feet.

She wants to grow up, grow up quickly, woo hoo!

After it snowed, Li Laosi went up the mountain more diligently.

He wanted to hunt some bigger beasts and save the furs, or sell them for money, or make some winter clothes for his daughter and nephew.

But I have traveled all over the nearby mountains and haven’t seen any big beasts.

Occasionally, I can catch one or two rabbits, and the skins are only enough to make a small cloak for Jiayin...

Li Laosi had been listless for several days in a row. Mrs. Li couldn't bear to see her son in this state, so she sent him out to relax.

"Fourth brother, don't go up the mountain for the next two days and go for a walk in the city. It happens that Fu Niu'er is celebrating her 100th anniversary. Go buy some meat and big bones. Make dumplings at home and make bone soup to stew for several days. ”

Before Li Laosi could respond, Jiayi had already jumped up.

“Milk, milf! I also want to follow my fourth uncle into the city!”

This boy usually likes to follow Jiaren the most, but now that Jiaren has gone to the academy, Jiahuan spends all day in the kitchen, and Jiaxi and Jiaan don't want to participate in those little brats' tricks, so he feels a little lonely.

Of course Old Mrs. Li knew this and had no work at home, so she simply nodded.

“Okay, let’s go with your fourth uncle.”

Li Laosi was thinking about Escort Liu, so he took a smoked rabbit and a pheasant from the warehouse. After entering the city, he took Jiayi and went straight to the Escort Bureau.

“Oh, brother! I was talking about you just now, and here you are!”

When Biaotou Liu saw Li Laosi, he smiled heartily, put his arm around his shoulders and walked out.

“Let’s go to my house and ask your sister-in-law to cook some dishes, and we two brothers will have a drink!”

Liu Biaotou is tall and thick, but he doesn't want the wife he marries to look petite, gentle, and as delicate as a Jiangnan girl.

“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry for bothering you.” Li Laosi raised his hand to Liu’s wife, feeling embarrassed for causing trouble to her. "Brother Qiusheng, sit down. I always hear Lao Liu talking about you, and today you are finally here. It's just like your own home here. You're welcome."

Lao Liu's wife made tea for Li Laosi, and asked the sons and daughters of the family to come out to entertain Jiayi.

Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou were sitting in the main room drinking tea and talking about the recent trivial matters at home.

Occasionally, they heard the sound of laughter coming from the yard, and the two of them stretched their heads to take a look.

It turned out that it was Jia Yizheng and the fat boy from Liu Biaotou's family who were showing fists.

They are about the same age. Although the boy from Liu Biaotou's family has been a martial artist since he was a child, he is also naturally strong.

The two little guys are evenly matched, and neither one can do anything to the other.

Liu Biaotou saw that Jiayi had only played a few rounds with his boy, and he learned the opponent's moves and used them well. He was very happy and praised him.

“Well, this guy is a good young man. If your family can rest assured and let his chief **** come to study for two years, he will definitely learn good kung fu.

Not only will you be able to make money to support your family, but you will also be able to pass the martial arts examination in the future, and it will be easy to get ahead! "

Li Laosi likes his nephew the most, who is as gifted with supernatural powers as him. He also knows that his nephew likes to practice martial arts, and the family can't contain him.

But the nephew is the second brother’s son after all, and he can’t make the decision.

"Of course I feel relieved to be sent to learn martial arts from Brother Liu, but this child belongs to my second brother's family. I will go back and discuss it with his parents. If his parents agree, I will send him here."

His words made Liu Biaotou even more happy.

“Don’t worry, if this child is left in my hands, you will never be disappointed.”

While the two brothers were talking, Liu Biaotou's wife came in with food.

"The dishes are ready. You drink wine first, and I'll call the children to eat in the kitchen."

“Mom! I want to eat meat!” The little fat man from Liu Biaotou’s family was about to lose his fight against Jia Yi. He shouted that he wanted to eat meat and took the opportunity to make a truce, which made everyone laugh.

Li Laosi smiled and patted Jiayi on the shoulder, feeling very proud.

At the dinner table, Li Laosi and Liu Biao were drinking and talking, enjoying the sumptuous appetizers. Both brothers drank a little too much.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Laosi was a little confused. He took the wine glass and poured out his thoughts to Liu Biaotou without saying a word.

He wanted to give his daughter the best life, but he was unable to hunt even bigger beasts.

As soon as Liu Biaotou heard this, he put down his wine glass heavily.

“My silly brother, is there any problem that money can’t solve?”

He moved closer to Li Laosi and whispered.

"I recently took a **** to the south. It's not as cold and doesn't suffer much when you go south, and the wages are high."

After saying that, he saw Li Laosi’s eyes lit up and smiled.

“It takes about a month to go back and forth, and each person is given ten taels of silver!”

“So much!” When Li Laosi heard ten taels of silver, his originally confused head became clearer.

"That's right! This is a good job, it's easy, and you'll get a lot of money. If you don't come today, I'd also like to go to your house to find you!"

Liu Biaotou looked a little proud.

“People also value the reputation our **** agency has built up over the years. How about taking this **** trip with us? Earning a sum of money can also help your family live a good year.”

Li Laosi held the wine glass for a long time without drinking it. He licked his dry lips, and finally raised his head and drank the wine.

“Okay! Brother Liu, I’ll let you know when I get home and I’ll follow you!”

“Haha, good brother, you should have done this a long time ago!”

Liu Biaotou laughed happily, finally bringing the good helper he had chosen to his side.
