Chapter 47: Mother and child are separated
Everyone looked over and couldn't help but praise, "The embroidery on these shoes is so beautiful!"
“Mom, try it on for size!”
“Fu Niu’er, look, daddy bought you a writing instrument. After the Chinese New Year, we will slowly learn to walk.”
Mrs. Li's shoes are made of black base and embroidered with red plum blossoms. They are so exquisite that even the golden plum blossom stamens can be seen clearly.
She really liked it and couldn't put it down. She put it on to try on the size and quickly took it off, saving it to wear again on New Year's Day.
Jiayin also likes her shoes. Although she can’t walk yet, it doesn’t stop her from being happy.
The small shoes have a red base. There is no pattern embroidered on the back, but there are two butterflies sewn on the toe of the shoe.
I don’t know how the butterfly’s fabric was treated. Its wings are raised and it is landing on a small yellow flower, which is vivid.
Li Laosi was so happy to see his daughter and his wife, and more than half a month of hard work was not in vain.
He took out the money bag and stuffed it into my mother, "Mom, Jiayi and I have a total of twenty taels of wages. After buying these two pairs of shoes, there is nothing left. But we are lucky, and we have fruits shipped from the south by wealthy people. It's rotten, and the person in charge is worried.
When he saw our fruits, the steward bought them all and gave them forty taels. Those jujubes are sold retail, and they cost more than eight taels of silver. They are all here. "
Mrs. Li wanted to ask more questions, but when she saw Wu Cuihua running from the side room in a cotton-padded jacket from a distance, she stuffed the money bag into her arms and put her words back.
Everyone stood up in a tacit understanding and dispersed to do their own things.
Wu Cuihua, on the other hand, jumped away and secretly gritted her teeth with hatred.
But others are fine, but Jiayi is her son, how could he escape?
In the end, Jiayi was dragged into the side room, so he could get to the bottom of it.
Jiayi deduced that he had been working for the **** agency and his fourth uncle went to sell the fruit.
He didn’t know that all his wages were used to buy shoes for his grandma.
Wu Cuihua was so angry that she punched him several times, but she didn't dare to hit him too hard.
If the old lady feels distressed, the rest of her Li family may be kicked out.
Jiayi has rough skin and thick flesh. After running twice outside, his skin has become even stronger. I don’t care at all about fists like this.
He walked out and took Jiaxi Jiaan to the river to hit the sledge. Wu Cuihua was so angry that she jumped even more.
In the past few days, Wu Ergou came back secretly again. He did not dare to hang out in front of Li's house, and only settled at Liu's house at the entrance of the village.
She secretly took a look. It was a deep winter day. The two dogs were only wearing quilted clothes and pants, and their noses were so cold that their snot ran like rivers.
I heard that the casino owed money, and thugs were all over the city looking for him to repay the debt.
If caught, his hands and feet will be broken.
She felt anxious and couldn't help.
We still need to find a way, otherwise Ergou may be doomed. This is the last lifeblood of the old Wu family...
Everyone in the Li family didn't know what Wu Cuihua was thinking, so they were busy preparing for the New Year every day.
The family has made a lot of money again, and the old lady is also generous.
He called his sons into the city and bought two jars of vegetable oil, fifty catties of japonica rice, and fifty catties of fine flour.
Ten pounds of pork were cut off, and there were even seven or eight stick bones left, so I planned to have a good year.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru kept their feet off the floor, soaking rice and grinding it to make rice cakes and deep-fried oil cakes.
You also need to make steamed jujube steamed buns and steamed steamed buns with two noodles.
Tao Hongying is so skillful that she even fried thirty pieces of twist.
The children who were studying in the greedy wing were drooling like rivers, and they kept making trouble with their parents when they got home.
Perhaps the grain tax was paid during the autumn harvest, and each family saved a lot.
It was rare to be generous at this time, so they all approached the Li family and asked Tao Hongying to help fry the mahua.
But each company does not fry many, almost all of them are about ten.
Tao Hongying simply asked the women from each family to bring over thin noodles and vegetable oil, and she helped fry them together.
Finally, each family got the mahua, and the fried vegetable oil was also brought back. The Li family didn’t leave anything behind, so they just helped.
Every family felt sorry for themselves, so they could only send some dried vegetables, peanuts, melon seeds, etc. to the Li family.
This New Year has not even arrived yet, and the whole Qingshui Village is already full of fragrance and bustling.
Jiayin’s mouth watered every day, but unfortunately, she couldn’t eat anything, so she could only follow her grandma to eat the fruit harder and harder at night.
I don’t know if her desire was too strong, but little teeth started to appear on her lower gums, which made her feet clench in confusion.
On the twenty-fifth day of the New Year, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si entered the city together.
Li Laosi sent New Year's gifts to Liu Biaotou's house, while Li Laoer brought Mr. Sun two pounds of meat, a basket of fruits, a smoked rabbit, and a box of snacks.
This New Year's gift is not too generous, but it is definitely not simple either.
Especially among the dozen farm students in the academy, they are already the best.
So, Mr. Sun had a few more words with Li Laoer.
He praised Jiaren for his hard work and talent. If he continues like this, he will end up in the next year.
Even if the talent of a scholar is not good enough, he should at least pass the Tongsheng test and come back.
Li Laoer was so happy that he didn't even wait for Li Laosi. He carried his son's quilt and ran back home to announce the good news as the wind blew under his feet.
Old Mrs. Li was also happy from ear to ear, and kept patting her eldest grandson on the back with joy.
“Okay, okay, our family will count on you to support those who are successful in the future. But don’t be too tired, just try your best at everything, and don’t push yourself too hard. During the New Year holiday, take a good rest for a few days and read less.”
“Yes, grandma.”
Jiaren smiled gently and got up again to go to the east room to watch the good news of the sleeping person.
As soon as he entered the house, Jiayi came back from outside. The two brothers watched their sister and chatted.
“Brother, do you know that our father wrote a letter of divorce to our mother?”
Jiayi was a little hesitant, but still wanted to tell his brother.
Jiaren nodded and sighed softly.
"Speaking of which, it was because of me. My uncle went to the academy to make trouble with me and asked for money. Many of my classmates in the academy laughed at me behind my back. Fortunately, most of the classmates were sensible, and the teacher scolded me a few times, so the matter was over."
Jia Yi clenched his fists with hatred, "Brother, next time I see my uncle, I will give him a good beating. He will never dare to go to the academy again!"
Jiaren waved his hand, "That is my mother's brother after all. As juniors, it's not easy for us to take action. If you have something to say to grandma and father, the family will naturally make the decision. Our surname is Li, not Wu."
Jiayi was discouraged and pulled at the corner of his clothes irritably.
He glanced at his little sister, then reached out to touch her little hair, admiringly.
“What a wonderful little sister. She is so young and doesn’t know anything. She just eats, drinks and sleeps every day.”
Jiaren was so funny that he also touched his sister’s cheek.
"Who said my sister doesn't have worries anymore? Every time she eats, she drools with greed and can't eat. I saw her staring at the plate several times, her eyes shining brightly."
Jiayi was amused and laughed, causing Jiayin, who was pretending to be asleep, to roll his eyes.
She quickly turned over, climbed onto her second brother's lap, and began to slobber and attack Dafa.
Jiayi didn't know what his sister was thinking. He thought it was because he missed him, and he was very happy.
So, he hugged his sister and walked around the house, and he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Jiaren was so excited that he grabbed his sister and hugged her for a long time.
These two brothers, one is gentle and gentle, the other is sunny and handsome, both are rare good young men.
The good news was lying on their shoulders, and they were bubbling with pride and their little faces were flushed.
The time travel master treated her well. In her previous life, she was alone, but in this life, she only has five brothers. She is really happy.
