Chapter 60： Comes with dozens of layers of filters

Chapter 60 Comes with more than a dozen layers of filters

Li Laosi didn't want the old men to be tired, so he wanted to refuse when he opened his mouth, but Mrs. Li went to speak first.

“Okay, I’ll just bother a few old brothers from now on.”

Ever since they signed the farming document, the old men have been eating with the Li family.

I have to say that with the addition of six people, the work in the kitchen has increased a lot.

Fortunately, the old men are not picky. There is nothing to say, as long as it is cooked and hot.

So, the Li family didn't find it too troublesome, but the old men still felt a little guilty.

A person is only willing to drink a bowl of porridge and a piece of cake for each meal. Just eat more than half full, they don't want to take advantage of the Li family.

Now, they have a job and can help the Li family share the burden. From now on, I will definitely be able to eat to my fullest again.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li handed over the mule to them, and the old men were very happy.

When the children were satisfied, they took the mules back.

Brothers Li Laoer and others gathered some things and re-nailed the pig pen on one side of the Zhao family's gate. From now on, it will be the mule's territory.

For a whole day, there was no one in front of the Li family and the Zhao family.

The whole village, young and old, came to see it and were naturally envious.

Such a good mule can't be bought without twenty taels.

There is also the 80% new cart and plow pole, which can't be moved without adding another 25 taels.

The Li family has not yet started farming in spring, but it is already so prosperous.

Some people are envious, and naturally others will be jealous. When gossiping in private, you can't avoid making a few sour remarks.

“The Li family is just showing off. They only have a few acres of land in total, so they just bought livestock. It’s more than twenty taels, and I don’t know when I can make it back. I’m afraid that they will work in vain for two years, and only one mule will be left.”

It happened to be a coincidence that the village chief happened to hear him and scolded him.

“Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand, what do you know!”

He took the opportunity to tell Old Man Zhao about allocating six fields to the Li family.

“Even if the Li family has a lot of labor, thirty acres of land is quite a lot. Buying an animal will save the family effort! Besides, the fourth brother is a escort, the fourth brother’s wife is good at cooking, the second brother is a gentleman, and the third brother can do masonry work.

It is not difficult for the Li family to make money, but they are only short of twenty taels of silver. You have time to gossip, why not think more about it and learn some skills, so as not to be jealous of other people's lives! "

The villager blushed after being scolded, thought for a while, and shouted unconvinced.

“With twenty acres of land, the Li family only provides food rations, which is really an advantage.”

The village chief stared, "Taking advantage? Do you want me to make peace with you?"

The villagers immediately shrank their necks.

Twenty acres of land, to put it bluntly, one acre of land can produce at least 20 taels a year.

Actually, there have been too many natural disasters in recent years, and it is good to be able to make a living just by producing one year.

Moreover, Old Man Zhao and the others are getting older. Will they care about illness or disaster in the future, or not?

It’s hard to say whether to take advantage or to suffer a loss.

The village chief sneered and waved his pipe and pot.

"My heart is like a mirror, but I have to speak loudly. I'm warning you, our village has just gotten better. You dare to mess up the good omen in the village with your broken mouth. Don't blame me for being cruel and kicking you out!"

“Don’t dare, don’t dare.”

Everyone even lowered their heads and spoke their words to assure themselves.

They were really talking happily just now. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the village is really lively when the Li family comes.

Even people from other villages will not frown and go around when they see them. Instead, they will take the initiative to say hello.

This one asked Mr. Li’s fourth daughter-in-law if her cooking skills are good, and the other asked if the Li family’s little granddaughter is really lucky. I heard that whoever hugs her will win money...

I won’t say how noisy it is in and outside the village. I just want to say that the Li family still lives a step-by-step life.

Seeing it is March, Jiayin finally learned to crawl.

Not that kind of frog pose, but a serious one on all fours, crawling very fast.

Now the whole big Kang at home is hers.

Tao Hongying came in with rice porridge and salted duck eggs, and saw that her daughter’s face was red from exhaustion.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "This child is so energetic. He was even more noisy than Jiaxi Jiaan and the others when they were young."

When Mrs. Li meets her granddaughter, she automatically puts on more than ten layers of filters, so that she can see her everywhere.

“Have good energy, and we will keep you in good health.”

Tao Hongying was helpless and knocked on her rice bowl at her daughter. Jiayin quickly climbed over, took the rice bag and stuffed it into the old lady's hand.

The old lady laughed and quickly tied it in front of her.

Jiayin then took the spoon and put it on a bowl of white rice porridge and half a salted egg yolk.

Before she could eat, she was salivating.

Finally tried salted egg yolk, I’m so excited, how can I break it?

Last year, I arranged for my family to collect duck and goose eggs, and during the Chinese New Year, my family also started eating them.

But she was too young and couldn't get it.

Now that she is eight months old, her diet has become much richer.

Although the little hands are still not very obedient, they often spill everywhere.

But she still insists on eating by herself, practicing again and again, all in order to eat independently as soon as possible!

In order to eat more and grow up quickly...

The days pass faster and faster in the hope of good news.

Just when Jiayin stood up tremblingly from the window sill for the first time, spring plowing also started.

Except for Mrs. Li and her granddaughter who are cooking at home, everyone in the family has gone to the fields.

Jiaren College also had its spring plowing holiday, and Jiayi also rushed back from outside.

In this way, the Li family has eight strong laborers.

Jiaxi, Jiaang and Jiaxi together count as one.

The newly purchased mule was named Daqing. It was hitched to a plow and went out early in the morning and came back late to plow the fields.

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

Uncle Zhao and the others are responsible for delivering water and food to the fields. They also plow the vegetable fields of the two families, carry ridges and plant rapeseeds.

In short, no one, old or young, was idle.

Jiayin felt sorry for her family but couldn't help her, so she went out to get things from the courtyard every day.

A piece of pork today, a pile of eggs and duck eggs tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow there will be a bunch of fresh radish and cabbage, and even two hens.

Of course the most common ones are rabbits, because the rabbit couple in the small courtyard are so fertile!

They can’t even feed their family with cabbage or radish.

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

Mrs. Li is also used to it. She never refuses anyone who comes. She does whatever her granddaughter gives her without any hesitation.

Originally, seasons like spring plowing and autumn harvest are the most tiring times.

How many meals does the poorest family have to eat?

If you don’t have enough to eat, you won’t have the strength to work if you don’t eat well.

As a result, the Li family’s dinner table was richer than ever.

Almost every day, I have a pot of braised rabbit, and occasionally stewed chicken and mushrooms.

Scrambled eggs and steamed egg custard are indispensable every day.

The young and old of the Li family had oily mouths after eating, while Uncle Zhao and the others next door were frightened.

Does the family have enough food? Will the whole family starve to death after spring plowing?

But the Li family was afraid that they would not be able to eat without worry. They gave a lot of food every time and refused to take back any leftovers!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and food eaten overnight may spoil easily. It's hard to say, the old men can only eat in silence.

The village chief was thinking about his old brothers. After finally finishing his work at home, he came over to take a look.

As a result, the old brothers didn’t look tired at all. Instead, they all gained weight...

Looking at the breakfast table, each person has a large bowl of two-meter porridge, a greasy salted duck egg, and a large plate of pancakes.

He couldn't help drooling, so he divided half of the duck egg into his hands to satisfy his craving...

In addition to cooking, Mrs. Li also cleans the house and provides logistics.

When she had free time, she would walk around the village, asking for seeds.

Cabbage, radish, snap beans, cowpeas, mustard greens, purple eggplant, pumpkin, in short, as long as there are seeds.

Then, take it home and give it to your granddaughter.
