Chapter 466： Abandoned

Chapter 466 Abandoned

"Silly boy!" Old Mrs. Li glared at her son angrily, and finally sighed, "People in this world do everything for themselves, and that's right. After all, if you don't serve yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. But if you want to succeed, If you want others to facilitate you, you have to think of ways to do it.

“For example, the simplest way is to give way. If you shout, ‘Give way, I want to pass!’. Others will be reluctant. After all, if they give way to you, it will be troublesome for them.

“You should shout, ‘Hot water, spill it, spill it, don’t get burned!’ Everyone was afraid of suffering a loss and immediately got out of the way.

“In the final analysis, just try your best to turn your business into everyone’s business, and everything will go smoothly.”

Li Laosan was not an idiot, so he began to try to draw inferences from one example, "Mom, do you think I would use part of the profits from the cafeteria to hold some kind of calligraphy and painting competition every year, and buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones as prizes? Would that be okay?"

“In this way, the students will not think that we are businessmen doing business, but are part of the college, and they will feel less resistant. Is this good for Jiaren and the others?”

Without waiting for my mother to respond, he continued: "The teachers and students in the academy all know that we have good flowers. Do you want to send a few pots occasionally and let the teachers tell the students about it? The students must have only heard about it, not seen it. Been there before, so they can gain some knowledge.

"Also, more! We can also prepare some tables and chairs to put outside the cafeteria. There is an open space there. Even if you plant some ordinary flowers and plants, it would be nice to sit outside and eat while enjoying the scenery! Scholars like this kind of elegant thing. Then the canteen will be more than just a place to sell food!”

Mrs. Li listened carefully to her son's words. Seeing him dancing happily, she also laughed, "Mom doesn't understand these things. Just ask Fu Niu'er. This child has a lot of ideas in his mind. You two Let’s discuss it.”

While talking like this, the mother and son walked to the end of the field.

Wu Laojiu and others were very concerned about it. After all, this vegetable field would be taken care of by their family in the future.

"Let's go back first. I'll come over to visit the village chief in the evening and try to make arrangements for today so that you can settle down and start working tomorrow." Li Laosan said.

Everyone got on the carriage and went all the way back to the town.

Jiayin woke up early and saw no one at home. Guessing that they were busy, he made trouble with his sister-in-law to buy sticky cakes.

Wenjuan took the change and took her sister-in-law out.

Soon, I came back with a box of sticky cakes!

Jiayin took my sister-in-law with her, and they sat under the eaves of the verandah and ate together.

Shui Ling also got two pieces and started eating them with a smile.

So Mrs. Li and others came back from outside. When they entered the door, they saw two people sitting under the eaves, one big and one small, playing with sticky cakes.

Jiayin and Shuiling are just fine, Wenjuan is the daughter-in-law, and it would be rude for her grandmother and father-in-law to see her being so childish.

She blushed and quickly stuffed the sticky cake into her mouth, choking violently.

Mrs. Li's smiling face had a few wrinkles on her face. She stepped forward and patted her granddaughter-in-law on the back, comforting her: "Why are you panicking? We are all a family, who can laugh at you?"

Wenjuan's face turned redder, but her heart felt sweet. Grandma was treating her like a child!

After a while, Zhao Yuru, Tao Hongying and others also came back.

There are many rooms in the small courtyard, but with so many people living there at once, it is still a bit crowded.

Hence, Second Sister-in-law Sun and Dazhu’s daughter-in-law made preparations and went to the canteen to settle down tonight. They had just tidied up the place quickly.

Zhao Yuru didn't stop them either, leaving them to have a good meal.

For a while, the women were crowded in the kitchen cooking, and the men were sitting at the door chatting.

The elderly and children sit under the eaves and eat sticky cakes. The small courtyard is extremely lively.

Let’s talk about Xincun, in the courtyard of the Li family, Li Laoer had no appetite at all when facing the two dishes on the table, a bowl of white rice.

I just took my sister-in-law and niece to Luo'an. Why didn't the eldest brother stay in the restaurant and didn't come back? ! How pitiful he was to be the only one eating in this huge courtyard!

Even Shuiyun, Zheng He, Zheng Feng and Ye Tong were also gathered in the kitchen, eating lively.

He simply found a tray, brought the food, and went straight to the backyard to find Uncle Zhao and other old men to eat together...

Uncle Zhao couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Laoer entering the door like this.

Uncle Wei offered a chair to Li Laoer and joked: "Why, uncle, you have been abandoned by the family and no one cares about you anymore?"

“That’s right!” Li Laoer couldn’t tell whether to laugh or cry, “I suspect that eldest brother asked me to be his uncle just to keep me in charge of the house.”

Everyone laughed. Uncle Zhao specially opened the wine jar and divided half a bowl into each person. He also told Li Laoer, "Drink. Go home and go to bed after drinking. Otherwise, the house will be quietest at night and you will feel even worse." ”

This is based on experience. You must know that before they met the Li family, they had spent countless long nights like this.

Li Laoer didn't want the old men to think of the sad past, so he quickly changed the conversation and said that the family's fleet was coming back and he would take the old men to the dock in a car.

Since the old men arrived at Broken Gold Beach, they rarely went into the city, let alone go out for long walks.

They are like loyal old yellow dogs, guarding the door of the house conscientiously, day and night, never slacking off.

Now that I heard that they were going out for a walk, everyone was happy, but they couldn't leave home. They started talking about it, which made the dinner table even more lively.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Li Laosan led Wu Laojiu and his family to a village called Xiaohe outside the town.

Last night, he had already met with the village chief of Xiaohe Village, sent generous gifts, and leased out twenty acres of land. He even found a yard for an old man living alone in the village and rented three adobe rooms.

At this time, Wu Laojiu and his family brought bedding, pots and pans, and a small car together, so they could go directly to the village to settle down.

Sister-in-law Wu Jiu didn't talk much, but she had a smiling face. Seeing the carriage entering the village and being surrounded by children, she took out the sesame candies she bought yesterday and scattered them around, making the children happily run home.

After a while, the whole village knew that there was a new person.

As the village chief brought his brother Tian Mancang and his family around, everyone heard more clearly after exchanging pleasantries.

The Li family is kind and generous. In addition to the taxes and grain that must be paid on the land that is leased out, the Li family and the tenants share half of the remaining harvest.

This is much better than the market price.

At least one mu of land a year can give a tenant an extra twenty or thirty kilograms of grain. Ten acres of land is two to three hundred kilograms.

Don't underestimate these two hundred kilograms of grain. In times of disaster, it is enough for a family to survive.

Some villagers felt jealous and envious when they heard this, and became unhappy. They whispered sourly: "When did this happen? Why didn't we know that the land outside the village was going to be leased? Such a good thing has been taken over by the Tian family!"

Just then, the Bai family, the second largest family in the village, came over at this time.

The three sons of the Bai family are all married, and no one dares to bully them in the village.

At this moment, a villager hurried over and said a few words, and finally complained: "The Tian family has taken advantage of all the good things, and is prepared to prevent us from fighting over it. It was secretly decided last night, and it was only announced this morning."
