Chapter 132 Building a firewood house

"Elder sister, where's the little girl?"

"She fell asleep again. I don't know what to do. She fell asleep again as soon as she woke up." Li Xiaoyan told him.

Father Li felt very guilty when he heard this. He always treated his little daughter as an adult. But she never thought that her body is still a child, she should have a childhood that belongs to her, instead of carrying this family, it is not her responsibility.

"Let her sleep! Don't disturb her when she's tired, you close the door for her."

The father and son worked harder in silence, and Li Xiaoyan was still very puzzled: what happened? Don't you just take a nap? Wouldn't it be good to let the little sister sleep more!

Li Xiaoyu was awakened by a sound of talking. She opened her sleepy almond eyes, and she didn't know where she was for a while?

After a while, I remembered that today was the day when my family was building a firewood house, and I jumped up at the thought. Today's life is a lot, how can I not help?

When I went out, I saw that the yard was full of firewood, adobe bricks, and old house grass that had been demolished.

The original firewood house has been evacuated, and Father Li and his helpers are laying adobe bricks. There were eight people who helped, plus Father Li and Chengji Li were exactly ten people. They were very fast, and they were already built to a height of one meter.

At this rate, a firewood house can be built in just one day.

Mama Li didn't go to work today, so she took time off to cook at home. Li Xiaoyan helped Li Ma in the kitchen. Li Xiaoyu went in and saw that they were both busy, so she went to sit at the stove and start a fire.

When Li Xiaoyan saw the things in the kitchen, she knew that the second child and the younger sister brought them back from the town. How can these things be sold now? They must have gone to the black market.

couldn't say anything to blame, and said to Li Xiaoyu gently: "Little sister, are you hungry? I'll give you a scoop of rice soup when you're hungry."

Li Xiaoyu didn't expect that when the eldest sister was still gentle to her, she said carefully: "Well, eldest sister, I don't drink, you can drink it yourself!"

"What do I drink, it's for you!"

Look, the beautiful eldest sister immediately revealed her true identity, and she treated her fiercely.

"Then let me drink it, can you add some sugar to me?"

Li Ma was a little bit unbearable when she saw her little daughter looking scared, and said to Li Xiaoyan, "What are you doing to scare her?"

"Mom, don't worry about her, what if she stabs a big basket out one day?"

Li Xiaoyu felt very wronged, why did I stab the big basket, am I the one who stabbed the big basket?

She felt that she should avoid the limelight for a while, so as not to be burned by the fire, wouldn't it be very unfair!

"Mom, I'm going to help the old man!" He got up and ran away, not drinking the rice soup.

"Mom, take a look, you can get used to her, if something happens, what will you do?"

Li Ma slapped the kitchen knife on the cutting board angrily, and said to Li Xiaoyan, "What do you think happened to her? Can't you see what she has done for this family? You are the boss, but you accuse her here, you are worthy of it. Is she? Okay, I don't want to quarrel with you today. If you don't want to work, go out and call the third child in to help. "

Li Xiaoyan felt very aggrieved. Originally, it was the younger sister who was wrong, the father was like this, and now even the mother is like this, not to mention the second child.

Aren't you afraid of having a bad influence on the family, Li Xiaoyan went out and asked Li Chengyi to come in and help.

She went into the wing to pack her things, and she will go back to school tomorrow to sign up for classes. It will take half a year to go, so she needs to pack more and change her clothes.

Open the box, take out the two sets of brand new summer clothes inside, and put them in the bag. She doesn't want to take the old clothes to school. She doesn't wear the new ones, so why wear the old ones?

When she saw the new watch in the box, she picked it up and looked at it again and again. She really liked this plum watch, but it looked much better than the one on her wrist. If she wore it to school, it would definitely attract more people's attention.

Li Xiaoyan put the plum blossom watch on the other wrist, and put the two wrists together for a test. The white, tender and slender wrist is very beautiful. Wearing the plum blossom watch shows the taste of the owner. Compared with the domestic watch on the other hand, Stand tall.

She sighed, took off the plum blossom watch and put it in the box, let's keep it at home! What if I take it out and lose it?

Divided into two tables for lunch. Father Li took Li Chengji to accompany the helpers to one table and the rest to one table. There was only one table at home, so I had to borrow a dining table from Li Wuye's house.

On the dinner table, a potato is cooked with fat, a wild vegetable, and a stir-fried cabbage. The main food is thick red rice porridge and steamed red rice.

It's been a long time since the people who helped see such a good meal. Thinking of the waste in the cafeteria, one by one feels extremely self-blame.

Pick up the bowl and eat quickly. With so much to eat, who has the mind to think about so much? Let’s eat first!

When everyone in this family is short of food, how can they not work hard after eating such a good meal.

With the efforts of everyone, the firewood house was built before the bell rang. Everyone helped clean up the yard together, and put all the firewood in the woodshed.

Mama Li prepared a pound of cornmeal for everyone, put them in bowls and brought them home. Just return their bowls tomorrow.

The new firewood house looks stronger than the previous one, and feels very secure. Li Xiaoyu likes houses with strong walls.

In the evening, Li’s father and Li’s mother went to deliver red glutinous rice to the people who exchanged adobe bricks. The red glutinous rice that was exchanged this time was all the stock on the bright side of the house.

Li's family's food was in a hurry, which made Li's mother sore in her mouth overnight.

Father Li comforted her: "Don't worry, I will bring food back tomorrow, so you won't be hungry."

On the second day, the four brothers and sisters all had to go back to school to sign up, and the new semester started. This time, Li Xiaoyu still chose to study at home, but went to school to register and ask for leave.

Li Xiaoyan is a high school student. She has a supply of 27 catties of grain every month. She only needs to pay the processing fee for the school canteen, and she also pays for the food.

Li Chengji and Li Chengyi need to bring their own food, and go to the school to hand it over to the canteen for unified management. The brothers took away a month's worth of food, and the amount has been compressed to 25 catties of rice for two people. This amount is not enough for two and a half children.

When we go out in the morning, each person takes one boiled red glutinous rice and eats it on the road. Li's father sent four children to the town. Because Li Xiaoyan had to take the shuttle bus, the father and son went to the town before dawn in the morning.

went to the town to see Li Xiaoyan off, and Li’s father took his three children to the town to sign up. It was still early, and the teacher hadn't come yet.

Father Li took them to Aunt Li's house to see how they were doing? I don't know if there is a serious shortage of food in the town?

Their family is having breakfast, and there are glutinous rice paste and boiled red glutinous rice on the table, and the amount is not large.

Aunt Li greeted them to sit down for dinner, but Father Li refused directly: "We'll come back after we've eaten, don't worry about us."

Father Li asked Aunt Li: "Eldest sister, you work in the commune, how is the food situation in your place?"
