Chapter 395： A penny beats the tiger-fighting hero!

Chapter 395 A penny beats the tiger-fighting hero!

Mrs. Li raised her chin and motioned her granddaughter to look at the half-dead wild flowers under the courtyard wall.

They are all the work of little flower growers. They water them when they think about it, but they stay dry for half a month when they don’t.

Luckily they are wildflowers and have strong vitality. Otherwise, if there was a shortage of firewood at home, they would just be plucked out and thrown into the stove.

Jiayin covered her face, oh, grandma is so cruel, she doesn’t hit people in the face!

She is just lazy from time to time, why should she argue with a child?

It's a pity that the little green snake in the space doesn't know, otherwise it would probably hold the wild flowers and cry loudly. It's a pity that we are all elves in the mountains, how come we fell into the hands of this little witch!

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Li Zhensheng and Tao Hongying finally came back from the city.

In the yard, the deserted scene just now was gone, and it became a lot more lively.

Mrs. Li was busy hurriedly, and she was very happy. This actually flattered Li Zhensheng. When he saw that Jiayin was the only child left at home, he understood.

The naughty boys were all sent to the academy to study. I couldn't adapt to it for a while and disliked the deserted home...

On weekdays, the Li family's dinner table can't fit even two tables. Today, the children are not here, Mr. Li is not here, and Jia Huan stays in the restaurant to keep watch.

So everyone sat at a table, with half of the seats still vacant.

Mrs. Li couldn't put her chopsticks down, "Tonight, the family members are going to live in the academy, and I don't know if they can get used to it..."

Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade them, and Li Zhensheng smiled and said, "They are all young men, so you don't have to worry about me."

Tao Hongying knew her mother-in-law best, and she pretended to be sad and said: "Yes, mother, you can't focus solely on your grandson. You should think about your family. I have to be busy in the restaurant for a few days, and I can't care about anything else." .

“Seeing that winter is about to come, my mother has to organize more than 20 sets of cotton clothes and pants from Uncle Zhao and the others in the backyard, as well as ours.”

Li Laoer understood and added fuel to the fire, "Also, we just discussed it today. Our village and three other villages will work together to build bridges and roads. First our village, then Dahuaishu, Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang. Where to do it?" Wherever there is work, a lunch will be provided.

"It's not easy for a hundred people to have enough food and drink. Starting tomorrow, our village will have to be repaired for almost ten days. Mom has brought the village women with her, so she has to give us a good backing!"

Normally, the family would never let the old lady take care of these tasks, but now everyone tacitly delegates them to the old lady.

First of all, there are really not enough manpower.

Secondly, I also hope that the old lady can divert her attention and not worry too much about her grandchildren leaving home to study, which will make her sick again.

Sure enough, no matter how powerful Mrs. Li is, she can't defeat her children who work together.

After eating, she hurriedly opened the warehouse and found all the materials and cotton suitable for making coats and trousers.

These are usually gifts from Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Liu. They are not expensive, but very practical.

Unfortunately, it is still far from enough to arrange coats and trousers for all the family members.

So Mrs. Li asked Grandma He to make a list and went to the city to buy some when she was free.

Not only that, tomorrow at noon, they will have to cook for the road construction workers, not only for the people of my own village, but also for the other three villages!

Meals should be affordable and decent, and should not be laughed at behind your back or have to make a menu out of nowhere.

Tomorrow morning I have to go to the village warehouse to collect food. If there is any shortage of ingredients, I have to buy them...

Jiayin was worried that her grandma would have random thoughts, and she wanted to lie down on the bed, talk to her, and comfort the old lady.

As a result, Mrs. Li fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow...

In fact, the family does not delegate so much work to the old lady, and Mrs. Li has no time to worry about her grandchildren...

After all, late autumn is always the busiest time for farmers.

Even though the Li family now has no shortage of food and drink, some habits are still engraved in their bones, such as drying vegetables, cooking beans and breaking into sauce cubes, storing cabbage and radishes, chopping and stacking firewood...

Each one of them is related to whether the family can have enough food, clothing and warmth to spend the winter well!

And the bridge-building and road-building project started with great fanfare in Ruijintan. Every one of the men in the village was involved.

The women were busy cooking, while the old people brought water to the construction site and helped take care of the tools.

The naughty boys are still studying in school, but they will also go to the construction site in the afternoon to do small jobs within their ability.

The villagers didn’t stop him. Whose kid didn’t follow his father and grow up while learning? !

After two or three days of busy work, Huiniang was finally out of confinement. She soaked herself in the hot spring pool and washed herself for a full hour before she finally felt alive.

When she entered the house with her hair down, the two children were being put on the kang. Jiayin and Grandma He were surrounding them, laughing and teasing them.

Grandma He turned around and quickly took a cloth to wrap her half-wet hair, "Although I'm in confinement, I still have to be careful, it's easy to get a headache if your hair is so wet!"

Jiayin didn't understand this, so she just wanted to enjoy the excitement. For the time being, she was only interested in the two fat children in front of her.

The family is living a better life now, not as poor as before. This time Huiniang is in confinement, and Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying are all making chicken soup and fish soup.

Huiniang drank it every day. She didn't gain a few pounds herself, but she fed her two children into fat bodies.

At this moment, the fat boy was spitting bubbles seriously, but every time he succeeded, Jiayin would reach out and pop them.

The fat boy was so angry that he scratched his hands and kicked his feet, his little face turned red, he was babbling and didn’t know what to say, and Jiayin laughed evilly!

Huiniang was not angry when she saw her son being bullied. Instead, she laughed along with him.

Mama He helped her braid her hair into two braids, which was cool and neat.

Unexpectedly, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the yard. The three of them looked out through the window and jumped up in shock.

Several soldiers carried a stretcher, followed by a group of people, who crowded into the yard. Lying on the stretcher was... Li Yong!

Huiniang ran out like crazy and threw herself on the stretcher. Everything she wanted to say was blocked in her throat, leaving only tears flowing down her face.

 Li Yong's chest and back were covered in blood, and he inhaled in pain. He tried his best to comfort his wife, "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just flesh wounds."

Doctor Zhang was also following him in a state of embarrassment. At this moment, he cursed: "This kid is really annoying. He promised to accompany me to the mountains to collect medicine, but he just went to fight the tiger alone! Fortunately, he has a saber. It’s sharp enough, otherwise there’s no way you’ll come back alive!”

At this moment, Mrs. Li was also out of breath and chased her back. She helped Huiniang and advised: "Let Dayong settle down first. We can talk later if you have anything to say."

Everyone quickly placed Li Yong in the wing room.

The fire pit in the wing room is very large. It can accommodate Hui Niang and her two children on weekdays, and Shui Yun or Aunt He helps keep watch at night without being crowded. Now that Li Yong has been accommodated, it is quite spacious.

When we were on the mountain, Dr. Zhang only stopped Li Yong’s bleeding. Now he had to take off his clothes, clean and apply medicine, and even needed stitches on some injuries.

After all the hard work, the old man was very tired.

But Li Yong really suffered from flesh and skin injuries, and his muscles and bones were all fine. Everyone who heard the news breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Laoer asked everyone to disperse, and then he, Mrs. Li and the village chief went into the house to visit.

Hui Niang couldn't care less about being shy and grabbed her husband's hand, not daring to let go for a moment.

Old Mrs. Li was very angry and scolded Li Yong, "You are the father of two children, why are you still so reckless? If something happens to you, what will Madam Hui and the children do? You are not going to accompany Doctor Zhang to collect medicines. Why are you still having **** with Tiger?"

 Li Yong was a little weak, but his eyes were bright and frightening, "Auntie, I heard that there are tigers in Yunwu Mountain, so I went to find them by collecting medicine, otherwise I was afraid you wouldn't agree.

“I just passed through the city and the dead tiger has been sent to the Marquis’ Mansion. The chief steward will sell it for me. I heard it’s at least five hundred taels!

"I plan to build a house here for Hui Niang and her two children. From now on, even if I go to war with the Marquis, I don't have to worry about them, mother and son."

After saying this, his eyes brightened even more, "I have already drawn the drawings, which need to be arranged in front and back, so that the children can live in it when they get married. Madam Hui likes embroidery, and I have to set up an embroidery room for her!"
