Begging for something

At the end of Shenshi, Li Hui and Yu Zhao returned home from work, and it was dark.

Cheng Xue was cooking in the outer room, but the bean buns hadn't been finished yet. She had promised to find someone, but now no one was there. Was this...a quarrel?

Li Hui walked up to him suspiciously and asked in a low voice:

"Where are my wife, Aunt Xu, and Sister-in-law Dong? Are they not here? But something happened at home?"

"Nothing happened, don't think about it. They are all here, but during the packing process, Aunt Xu chatted and talked about the robberies in the neighboring villages. Sister-in-law Guo and Qingshan's wife were anxious, so I asked them to leave first. Xu

My aunt and my daughter have been helping me. You two wash your hands and go into the house to work."

Two more people, two more efforts, and everything can be done quickly.

Cheng Xue made it extremely simple, but Yu Zhao was stunned when he was assigned a job. The family made bean buns every winter, but he, his father, and his brothers never got started.

Li Hui took a basin to ladle water and saw him standing there blankly, misunderstanding that he was worried about his family.

"Tomorrow you go home after breakfast and tell your uncle that Yu Chang will be on guard and go directly to the forest farm when you are done. Don't worry, your wages will not be deducted."

"Ah?" Yu Zhao came back to his senses, and then couldn't help but shook his head, "No way, cousin, if we are discovered, you will be in trouble."

"Don't worry, it's okay, I'm here with you." After finishing speaking, Li Hui wiped his hands and entered the house.

It's not a lie that he works in the forest farm these days. It's no problem to go an hour late.

There wasn't much sticky dough left in the house, but it would definitely take a while for two people to make it.

The little girl and brother who were sleeping soundly on the kang came together at some point. The younger brother held his sister's arm, and the older sister put her other hand on her younger brother, very lovingly.

"Dad." The siblings said in unison.

Yan Yixin stood up, gave up the stool, and called "Uncle."

"You sit down, I'll take a seat with you."

After saying that, Li Hui took off his shoes and got on the kang to observe the eldest daughter's techniques.

In Tianying, team members often go to the cooking class to help after training. They have cut potatoes, made dumplings, steamed buns, made pancakes, etc.

It is no longer new for these children to see their father working. After grandma scolded him to wake him up, he is just like a new person, diligent, capable, and down-to-earth. They all like their current father.

When Yu Zhao entered the house and saw his cousin working, he rolled up his sleeves to help. So when he came home to work later, his mother and daughter-in-law thought he had been taken away from him.

The braised chicken nuggets haven't even come out of the pot yet, but all the bean buns in the house have been wrapped.

Li Yue was too tired to lift his arms. Li Heng was too tired to keep shaking his arms. Yan Yixin kneaded his brother considerately. Li Hui felt sad after seeing this and couldn't help nodding.

Just like this, the children love each other, the family is in harmony, and life is never bad.

They called Yu Zhao and went straight to the warehouse, where the brothers moved the floor table back.

"Why move it?" Cheng Xue was puzzled.

This table was kept in the east room when the original protagonist's father was alive, along with two chairs, but they were borrowed by the Li Fang family and have not been returned yet.

"Nothing to do. It's inconvenient to eat and talk in two rooms. From now on, we will eat in the east room. There is a table on the kang and a table on the ground. My cousin will come with me and bring back the stools borrowed from Li Fang's family."

The borrowed chairs were good things. Like the floor table, the fine pear wood was passed down from ancestors. At that time, Li Fang originally wanted to borrow them all, but the original owner didn't build a cage, so he settled for the next best thing.

Li Hui didn't lift the table, so she forgot about it. She stood at the door and warned again:

"There is also a blue and white porcelain tea set. Tiedan and your father will go together to get it. Please help us get it."

"Mom, there is also a set of Bagua locks. Mo Naihe was also borrowed by them." Li Yue reminded him helpfully.

Cheng Xue recalled carefully, what a good guy, he actually borrowed so much. He took Li Hui and went straight to the study, and told Li Hui one by one what he had borrowed, and he recorded it.

It’s okay if I didn’t think about it, but now that I think about it, I must get them all back.

After finishing writing, Li Hui called Shang Yan Yixin, and the "Five People Who Want Things" officially set off.

Cheng Xue went back to the house to fetch water and scrubbed the pear wood floor table from top to bottom.

The original owner was really wasting his natural resources. It is absolutely inappropriate for such a well-established and valuable thing to be allowed to gather dust in a warehouse.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Li Tian was awakened by the sound of water, rubbed his eyes and asked.

When Li Huai heard the sound, he sat up and kept shouting, "Ah uh... Ah poof...".

When a child tries to make a fool of himself recently, he always says "oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh".

"Mom, there's nothing to do. Just clean the table. We'll have dinner in this room from now on."

Li Tian obediently said "Oh" and went down to the ground to take the urine pail onto the kang. Li Huai stood up holding on to the window sill and let his sister take off his pants.

There was no need to give instructions for this kind of thing. The three-and-a-half-year-old girl took it upon herself to do it. Cheng Xue looked at it and remembered it in her heart. Even farmers were like this. After this busy period, she could not let her little daughter do this again.

After burning the incense, Yan Yixin and Li Yue came back first. After asking, they found out that they were still looking for something.

Now Li Hui is very reliable in doing things. Knowing that Li Fang loves face, he went directly to Jiang Jianye and Dong Lisong to testify.

One of them is Li Zheng and the other is a local doctor, and their prestige in the village cannot be underestimated. In front of them, they counted the things Li Fang borrowed, and he had to pay them back even if he didn't want to.

"...Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Dong are helping there. My dad and the others will be back soon. Brother Yixin and I will get the little things back first."

When Cheng Xue heard that she had called for foreign aid, she quickly grabbed some fungus and soaked it in warm water as a precaution.

Looking at the Bagua lock, rattle, sap, and Mo Naihe on the kang... they are all wooden toys played by children.

There are obviously children at home, but they still let people borrow these things. The original owner is really out of his mind.

"You can't eat this, Mi Tai!"

Li Tian's sharp voice interrupted her thoughts. Seeing Xiao Li Huai showing his teeth to please Li Tian with a rattle in his hand, he immediately understood what happened.

Li Yue and Yan Yixin left again. Cheng Xue wiped the table, filled a basin of water, and gave the wooden toys a good scrubbing.

An entire hour passed, and all the things that had been away for many years finally returned to the embrace of Li Hui's family.

Jiang Jianye and Dong Lisong were indispensable, and Li Hui sincerely invited them to dinner.

Braised chicken nuggets, fried eggs, shredded potatoes in vinegar, and black and white vegetables.

There is one table on the kang and one on the floor. The dishes on both tables are the same. The staple food is white rice, which is quite rich.

"If it weren't for his two uncles today, he would definitely be defaulting on his debt. Uncle Jiang and Uncle Dong should eat more, so you're welcome."

The whole village knows that Li Hui's family is in good condition, but today, when they look at it, it turns out that it needs to be even better. They came to eat on a temporary basis, and they definitely don't have to rush to cook chicken. It's obvious that this is what they eat today.

"It's too unreasonable for you to say this. Back then, your father handed over the land deed to the village unconditionally. I will always remember this sentiment."

"Yes, Huizi. If your father hadn't asked me to come to your house to read books, I wouldn't have recognized so many medicinal materials." Dong Lisong agreed.

Speaking of which, it was precisely because of Li Yuan's actions that Li Hui's family gained its former foothold.

From now on, no one can bully them again...
