Chapter 59
Children of the Li Family
The homework assigned by Zhao Yunlan this time made Li Mingren scratch his head.
At first he wanted to start writing, but after only writing the names of a few younger siblings, he found that he couldn't start writing. Li Mingren was frustrated for a while, and once again felt that he was incompetent as a big brother.
Li Mingren had no choice but to capture Laosan and Mingmei to ask about their situation. The two were confused and didn't know what the elder brother was going to do. Their answers were also messy and they drifted away while talking.
Li Mingren thought about it and finally decided to work with Lao San and Mingmei to get to know them from their living conditions.
When Li Mingren got up to feed the pigs in the morning, Li Mingmei got up early to clean up the yard. Li Mingren looked at Li Mingmei while feeding the pigs.
Li Mingmei only felt eyes on her for a while, and looked up: "Brother, all your pig food has been poured onto your feet."
Only then did Li Mingren come back to his senses.
After dinner, Li Mingli followed his father to the fields, and Li Mingren also went to the fields with a hoe.
When Old Man Li rested his back, he saw that Li Mingren's hoe was almost digging into his feet, and he quickly felt: "Boss, look at what your brother is doing."
Li Mingren put down the hoe, and Old Man Li continued: "If you don't work, go back and waste your time here. Look at the land you hoe, grass is still grass, soil is still soil, and you haven't done much work.
Then I will have to spend money to treat you."
Li Mingli advised from the side: "Dad, brother is not skilled at this either. Hehe, I can finish it in a little while if I hoe faster."
Old Man Li hummed: "Now I find that this boss is really lazy." He thought to himself that it was no wonder he couldn't pass the exam. He could do a simple job like hoeing a field and be lazy. Reading in the school was so difficult before.
Maybe even lazier. Hey~
At this moment, Li Mingren only felt that Old Man Li had changed. He used to be happy to eat three bowls of rice when he saw him come back, but now he stayed at home for a long time and was criticized for helping with work every day.
Li Mingren observed at home for two days and found that the third brother actually loved the land so much. He was naive and did things carelessly, but he was serious about the crops in the field and did not slack off at all. As for the younger sister, she was also a neat girl.
, he does housework in an orderly manner and learns things quickly. He likes to learn housekeeping things from his wife.
After Li Mingren finished writing the two younger brothers and sisters, he told Zhao Yunlan that he would go to the town for two days to help the second brother and fourth brother. Zhao Yunlan nodded and asked: "When you come back, let the second brother and the fourth brother be together."
Come back for dinner."
Li Mingren agreed, packed his things and went to the shop in town.
Li Ji Hot and Sour Noodles, this was the first time Li Mingren came in. Li Mingyi was busy. When he saw his elder brother coming to the shop, he thought it was something going on at home. He quickly put down what he was doing and asked: "Brother, why are you here?"
?What happened at home?"
Li Mingren: "No, I'm here to help you."
Li Mingzhi was surprised and said: "Brother, it's you!"
Li Mingren was helpless, when can he get rid of this previous impression?
"I'm really here to work. If you have any work to do, I'll call you." Li Mingren rolled up his sleeves and started to work.
Li Mingzhi hurriedly said: "Brother, go and wash out the pile of bowls over there. If there is not enough water, go and pick it out yourself if you see there is no well outside."
Li Mingyi secretly smiled, and Li Mingzhi continued: "Brother, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise my second brother and I would have been busy for a while. The bowl must not be broken. My sister-in-law said that if the bowl is broken, we will deduct money, but you don't have to
I'm afraid my sister-in-law will deduct my wages."
Well, now Li Mingyi and Li Mingzhi are paid at Li Ji Hot and Sour Noodles.
Li Mingren regretted coming to town at this moment, so he had no choice but to squat on the floor and wash the dishes.
The three brothers are busy, well, Li Mingren can be considered busy! Li Mingyi's bowls have been used up batch after batch. Li Mingzhi came over to carry the bowls, watching the eldest brother squatting here to wash for a long time without washing out a pile.
Come.
"Brother, Boss Li!" Li Mingzhi said in the same tone as Old Man Li, "We are in a hurry to use bowls. Brother, you are just delaying things. Is there something wrong with my second brother's face? You keep looking at him."
Then, he quickly rolled up his sleeves and helped wash out a pile of bowls.
Li Mingyi shouted over there: "He is always looking at me. He is obviously looking at you. Bring the bowl quickly."
The diner eating noodles next to him laughed and said, "You brothers have such a good relationship."
Li Mingren chuckled, and Li Mingzhi quickly said: "Brother, wash the dishes quickly."
When Li Ji Hot and Sour Noodles closed, Li Mingren's legs were numb from squatting and his waist was very sore.
Li Mingyi: "Why do I feel more tired today because there are so many people?"
Li Mingzhi looked at Li Mingren and didn't want to talk to them. He took out a book and started reading. This book was bought by Li Mingzhi just with last month's wages. It is an annotation of the Book of Songs. It is easy to understand.
Li Mingzhi was looking at it enthusiastically.
Only then did Li Mingren notice the fourth child. Li Mingyi saw that Li Mingren was looking at the fourth child again and said, "My little brother reads a book after closing every day. Don't disturb him."
Only then did Li Mingzhi realize that there was someone in his family who loved reading so much, and he felt even more guilty. Li Mingzhi looked at it and asked Li Mingren from time to time. Usually when Li Mingzhi had a question that he didn't understand, he would keep his doubts to himself and wait for any questions.
Kong went to the bookstore to find answers. Li Mingren was here today, and Li Mingzhi wanted to solve these problems quickly.
When Li Mingren answered Li Mingzhi's questions, he also deepened his impression. The two of them got along and discussed very harmoniously.
Only Li Mingyi was happily calculating today's accounts.
When Li Mingyi shouted to eat, Li Mingren noticed the account book on the table. The records were clear and clear. He praised: "Second brother, you remember the account book really well."
Li Mingyi smiled: "My sister-in-law taught me well."
The three brothers ate dinner happily, and when it came time to go to bed at night, because there were no extra beds, the two brothers refused to let Li Mingren squeeze in together. After all, the two simple beds were only big enough for one person. Li Mingren only
I can sleep on the ground, but I feel depressed for a long time now. The brotherhood that I promised was just for a bed, huh~
The next day, Li Mingren washed the dishes again. Although Li Mingren was still angry because of the bed last night, when he got up early in the morning, Li Mingyi cooked a bowl of hot and sour noodles for the three of them. Li Mingren felt that the two brothers
So cute.
After Li Ji Hot and Sour Noodles closed in the afternoon, the three of them cleaned up the shop, and Li Mingren rushed home with his two younger brothers.
The two younger brothers planned to take Wang Daniu's ox cart back and asked Li Mingren to pay for it, but Li Mingren had no money, so Li Mingzhi said: "Big brother, I will pay for you this time, please remember to pay me back."
Li Mingren was once again hurt by this broken brotherhood, but after squatting for a day, his back was sore and his legs were cramping, so he had to agree to pay back the money.
