Chapter 349 Yan Theory
Everything is done by her! Otherwise, it would be great for the family to be together and harmonious. What about three sons and two daughters, the old couple has now become the burden of the younger son alone.
The youngest son is not at home, and there are a lot of people in the family to support. Eight people, old and young, rely on the three grandchildren to go out at night to support the family.
also help old wives in the countryside and their foreign families. The burden on the children is too heavy, and I haven't seen them take a good rest at home every day.
What can you do if you have many children? When you are old, who will remember this old man!
"Old Li Tou, what are you thinking about, with a look of sadness on your face! When you are old, don't show that kind of sadness in spring and autumn, it will give people goosebumps!"
Old Man Yan's inappropriate voice interrupted Grandpa Li's thoughts. He glared at Old Man Yan, how can you, a lonely old man, understand the worry of having too many children.
turned his head and ignored the old man Yan, looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Old Li Tou, what's there to sigh about? If you are old, let's have some fun! With such a filial son, you can be content!"
"You don't understand! I didn't say that the youngest son was bad, just thinking about those few sons and daughters, none of them came to see me, this bad old man, and I felt bad!"
"You just can't think about it, you won't come if you don't come, what's so uncomfortable! They all have their own families, as long as they don't come and ask you for food and clothing, everything will be fine, what else do you want!
Raising children is not to prevent old age, but to repay debts. You owed them debts in your previous life, and you have raised them in this life to repay the debts.
After raising your debts, you will pay off your debts, and you will be free from debts. You can still have a son by your side who will help you in retirement, that is the blessing you have cultivated in several lifetimes, don't make people feel cold! "
Grandpa Li heard the story in Old Man Yan's words. He didn't expect the rich to have so many troubles. He was a poor man so worried about what to do!
Now that I have no worries about food and clothing with my youngest son, it’s time to be satisfied.
"Okay, it's alright, let him go over the past! There's still so much meat to marinate, you can't be lazy, it's not easy for the children to get some meat back." Old Man Yan urged Grandpa Li.
Hearing the cured meat, Grandpa Li couldn't be bothered. The meat is the most important thing right now, which the three children took pains to get back.
When it's done, I have to send some meat to my younger son who is far away in the provincial capital. I haven't seen him for half a year, so I don't know if he has lost weight.
Grandpa Li and the others were busy making pickled goods at home, and at this time Li Xiaoyu and Li Chengji had already boarded the bus and swayed to Beidou Town.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, more people go out and go home, and the car is full. The odor in winter is not so mixed, at least there is no sweat or foot odor, Li Xiaoyu is more acceptable.
Before going out, Li Xiaoyu put the bicycle at home into the space, and the food has already been put in. This time, he only needs to go to Dujiagou to deliver food.
It was already lunchtime when we arrived in the town. The brothers and sisters didn’t enter the town and just walked on the path. In a secluded mountain pass, after observing that there was no one around, Li Xiaoyu released the bicycle and steamed buns.
Sixty-five miles away before dark, enough time. Sitting on the side of the road, the brothers and sisters had a leisurely lunch and rested for a while.
Li Chengji raised his wrist to look at his watch, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
"Little sister, we should go. It gets dark early in the winter. We ride slowly on the road. We don't have to hurry. Go to the village when it's dark at the uncle's house."
The two got into the car, left the path, and walked onto the dirt road. The dirt road is wide enough that two bullock carts can travel at the same time.
But the ground was uneven, and Li Xiaoyu often jumped up from the trembling in the back seat. This kind of road is really not as comfortable as walking, Li Xiaoyu had to grit her teeth and insist, she will never come to deliver food in the future, it is too torturous!
Dujiagou was already in sight. The brothers and sisters didn’t plan to enter the village when there were activities, so they found a leeward and inconspicuous place to sit outside.
Li Xiaoyu touched the bicycle, took out an old quilt from the space, spread it on the ground, and fell on it at once. Riding a car is more uncomfortable than riding a bicycle, and it hurts to mix.
"Second brother, are you going to lie down? If you want, I'll get you a bed and quilt, and there are old ones."
"Give it to me, I'll sit next to you, watch over you, and sleep for a while!"
Li Xiaoyu took out the last old quilt from the space, and prepared meat buns, pears, and boiled water (boiled with well water) for Li Chengji.
She also drank a glass of well water, poured it on the quilt, and pulled half of the quilt to cover it. When I thought about it, I closed my eyes for a while and fell asleep.
When Li Chengji finished eating and looked at her, he was already asleep and didn't know where he was.
"It's really a little pig, I don't even know it was taken away, and I slept so dead!"
Li Chengji stood up and moved around, the little girl slept so hard, he didn't dare to fall asleep.
In the wild, although there are no beasts, it is better to be alert for the sake of safety.
Looking up at the pitch-black night sky, I wonder what my dad in the provincial capital is doing? I really miss him!
"Little girl, get up, we should go to work!" Li Chengji whispered to Li Xiaoyu and pushed her twice.
Li Xiaoyu suddenly woke up from her sleep, her eyes widened, and the surroundings were pitch black.
"Second brother!"
"Wake up, it's okay, we are in the wild, pack up, wake up for a while, eat something, and then you can go!"
After packed up, Li Xiaoyu ate a steamed bun and an orange, and gave Li Cheng two more.
The two men slowly touched Dujiagou, the darkness was blinding, and there was no light at all.
On winter nights, when there is no electricity in the countryside, many people are reluctant to light kerosene lamps.
So the village was dark and silent, and the two of them walked in the village without even a single dog bark.
It was estimated that when he arrived at his uncle's house, Li Xiaoyu turned on the flashlight to take a look, and he really arrived at the door of his uncle's house.
The shape of the house hasn’t changed at all, it’s even older, but the walls haven’t reached the point of spanning yet.
Li Xiaoyu put out two bags of grains and three bags of red glutinous rice at the door, and said to Li Chengji: "Second brother, go and call the door."
The Du family have been more alert these days, because they thought that someone should bring food. The year is almost over, and it's time for my cousin to come.
So at night the whole family would take turns to watch the night when they sleep, so as not to miss people who come at night.
When Li Chengji knocked on the door, Boss Du inside heard it, and it was his turn to watch the night tonight.
"Who's outside?" Boss Du asked in a low voice, taking a few quick steps and carrying a small stool in his hand.
"Uncle Biao, I'm Chengji, I'm here to deliver things." Li Chengji also whispered back outside.
The door opened with a bang, which shocked Li Xiaoyu's heart, and this cousin was too anxious.
In this silent night, how far the voice traveled, she had to listen carefully to see if there was any movement.
