Chapter 279: With Fu Niu in hand, you won’t have to worry about food and drink!

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, and it’s just as lively as us here in the village. "

Brother Li was a little shy and thanked him in a low voice, "Thank you, third aunt."

Li Laosan also said: "If the academy is not in a hurry, we can let Brother Li stay at home for a few more days. We will go back to tidy up the house and sew two quilts for the child."

Li Zhensheng waved his hand, "That's not necessary. I rented a yard in Luo'an before, and everything is ready. Let Brother Li take you there to get your things, and also refund the rent for that yard."

Li Laosan nodded, "Okay, don't worry, brother, I'll leave this matter to you."

At this point, Brother Li has decided to go back to Luo'an with Jiaren to study in the afternoon.

Everyone was busy organizing food and supplies. They wished 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, while Li Laosi drove the car and set off.

 Zhao Yuru also wanted to capture her youngest son and give him some instructions, but unfortunately Jia Xi and Jia An were afraid that the cat brother would cry, so they took him to the hot spring valley to play early.

At sunset, Brother Cat came back, but he was missing and 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. When you wake up at night, you will definitely not be able to sleep well...

Mrs. Cui has been back for two days. Due to the large number of Li family members, she didn't come over much to chat and sit. Now she saw the good news, but she was very happy.

Jiayin secretly took out two cantaloupes from the space on the way and carried them with the hem of her skirt. Now they became a late night snack for her 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 her again and again, 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 when she slept. 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 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 with less wind in autumn, 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 one winter and one spring of decomposition, the fertility lost in the field will be replenished, and the soil fertility can even be improved a lot.

It’s just that because there are fruit trees planted on the mountain, it’s a little inconvenient to burn the land. The villagers are required to carry pickaxes or shovels to plow the mountainous area bit by bit, and spread more fertilizer around the roots of the trees.

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 pot.

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, the room becomes warm. The whole family gets together, talks, laughs, and does some small jobs, which makes Maodong feel more comfortable.

So, in the morning and evening during their free time, men from every household would go to the mountains to cut firewood, 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 willow sticks, and prepare them during leisure time in winter to make kang mats or baskets for easy use. If they don’t want to use them, they can sell them to get some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

This time is also the happiest time for the boys in the village.

They followed the adults and 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 was reluctant 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 she also has to take her sister with her.

Even though grandma was worried, they tied their sister to their backs with a bamboo pole and carried her away. I have been holding back the good news for a long time, and 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 Anjia couldn't help but smile, and Brother Cat also clapped his hands red, grinning like a tooth.

The rest of the naughty boys swallowed their saliva with envy, following their brothers and occasionally getting some light.

In the evening, the naughty boy brings fish, shrimps, eggs and duck eggs home, and the family will inevitably ask where they came from.

So 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 instead laughed and cursed.

“Do you think the name Fu Niu was given for nothing? This girl was born with blessings!”

“That’s right, let’s not talk about how lucky the Li family has been in the past two years, let’s talk about how such a distinguished person as Mr. Hou only falls in love with Fu Niu? 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 you spread the word too much, 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 don’t make it too public.”

The children and grandchildren in the family responded one after another, fried the eggs they 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 mountains and down the rivers.

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 the Li family to make coats for the children in winter.

Tao Hongying also took the time to smoke rabbit meat and hung it on the beams of the warehouse.

Pear and other fruits are hidden in the cellar, euphemistically called, and kept as gifts during the New Year.

Actually, these are just pretense and excuses.

After all, Jiayin’s hands would pop up with fruit from time to time, but she was so generous that the old men and the young and old in the family could often get some.

Without some covering up like this, it’s really hard to explain where her fruit comes from.

While I was busy, half a month passed.

The foundation of the school was almost completed, and the walls had begun to be built. Li Zhensheng finally recovered a lot and could walk out of the yard slowly.

At this time, Brother Cat was also tanned into black charcoal, and he was no different from a child in the village.

He can eat, drink and sleep every day, and his little fists are getting stronger. He is no longer the weak child before.

The whole family was happy about this. Li Laosi also took the 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 is recovered from the riverbank.

The village chief made the decision, and the family shared two bags. They had to dry the peanuts and peel them out, and then put them together and send them 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.
