Chapter 183 Visiting
Chapter 183 Visit
In the past, Mrs. Wang and her second aunt did all these things in the capital, but now that her second aunt is gone, Mrs. Wang does it herself. She is too busy, and sometimes she just asks the nanny next to her to come over and take a look.
Li Yu was at home by herself, and her status as a nanny was acceptable, but after all, she was a relative of the Li family, and they were all elders, so the servants were never afraid of not being careful.
It would be better to take on some of the hard work for my mother.
This is the responsibility of the wife of the clan. The wife of the clan is actually very hard-working. She seems to have a lot of power, but the affairs of a family are complicated and troublesome, and there are also human connections involved. It is common for her to be criticized. She is not a well-rounded and courageous woman.
, I can’t get over this mess.
The Li family is particularly strong. If a woman is stronger than a man, it will be harder to get along with her. But if she recognizes you, she will be particularly united.
Li Yu was also raised by her grandmother according to the standards of a clan wife. She has been doing these tasks since she was a child and is familiar with them.
"Aunt Seventeen, I'm Yu'er, I'm here to see you."
"The eldest lady is here. Come in quickly. Madam is in the room."
Grandma heard this and quickly stepped forward to open the door and welcome the person in.
"Hello, Aunt Qi, I brought you rheumatism ointment and someone will bring it to you later."
"Hey, I'm an old woman, so I don't dare to worry about the girl thinking about me. The girl has lost weight and is darkened, so I have to take care of her."
"Thank you, mama. I haven't done much work lately, so I'm just resting at home. I can't sit still, so I came over to see my aunt."
"Yu'er is here, come quickly, we've just stewed some dessert, please take a cup."
Aunt Seventeen stood on the porch and waved to her.
"Auntie, I brought some medicine and a few pieces of bacon. Brother Quan said last time that he wanted to eat the bacon and sausages I made, so I brought some over. After eating, please make a noise and I will bring you some of my own pigs.
."
"Well, it's hard for you to worry about us when you are so busy. You have everything at home. Your mother sent some over before, but I haven't finished eating yet. Not to mention that the pigs we raised this time taste good. Will they be sold?"
Aunt Seventeen took her into the house and served her yogurt, milk rolls and other snacks and fruits.
"I sent it to the restaurant for cooking. I sent some meat to the armies of some generals whom dad knew well, and sent them back as gifts. I kept the rest at home for gifts, and sent them around one by one."
Aunt Seventeen nodded, "People have to learn to bow their heads under the roof. It's hard to worry about your parents. You have to suffer all the grievances and worry about this family."
"It's okay, it will get better. Grandpa said that next year we will let the little ones go to school. Don't be afraid if they are younger. It's better to go and have fun with your elder brother first than at home."
"Okay, listen to the old man, just come and pick him up. My head hurts from all the commotion at home."
Aunt Seventeen is a widow. Her husband died in the Northwest battlefield. She left behind a son and a daughter. The older daughter is studying in school and is among the group of people who are being whipped for running today.
My son is a little young and has not yet entered school. There are no adult men in the family. My grandfather said that we should send these children to school early, fearing that they would be left in the hands of their mother.
Li Yu chatted with his elders for a while and teased his younger brother for a while before leaving.
Then we went to two old and weak families. There were only the elderly and half-grandsons and widows in the family. These were all the family members of heroes and martyrs.
He gave me some food and looked at what kind of work there was in the yard. Li Yu asked people to come over and do what he could do. He also helped the old man repair the broken furniture.
"I'm back. If you need anything, ask the little girl to come find me in the yard. I'll be at the school grounds during the day."
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious for me. You have to worry about your life."
The old lady also touched Li Yu's hand and patted it distressedly.
After saying a few words, I came out. After wandering around for a while, my stomach was full. I ate some desserts from this place and some dishes from that place. I was full.
It was getting dark, so Li Yu returned home under the moonlight, and the little girl in front of him held a lantern to illuminate it.
After returning to the house, Grandpa Li pointed at a pile of things and said, "Lei Zi will wait until you don't come back for a long time before leaving."
"I have something to say."
"No, I just want to talk to you. I brought you snacks and the wood you asked for."
Li Yu was making models, and there were a lot of wood blocks in the box. Gu Lei often found a bunch of them and brought them back.
"I'm going to visit some families who are lonely, old and weak to see what kind of work they have to do."
"You should go and see them often. We are old and weak. If something happens, we won't know if we don't go. You should help your mother think about it. Your mother is working too hard. She is the only one taking care of the family."
In the past, my second aunt also helped me do it, but now that she is gone, it is my uncle, grandma, and the others who are doing it for me, and even half-grown girls are on top of her.
"I'm going to have a look at the shop tomorrow. I'm thinking of bringing some drinks for the steward to visit and see if there's any other work for the family."
"You go ahead. Your brother will accompany the Night King on patrol. He won't be back for several days."
"Okay, I'll go check out the carpentry workshop in a few days. I'll ask them to hurry up and make a few water trucks. I plan to install them for several refugee villages around to prevent them from running out of water. I'll give it to my family. I'll wait for my brother later.
Come back and ask him to show up and run an errand for me."
This is to show off to the eldest brother. Can he represent Boss Li, the Li family, the eldest son and the eldest grandson?
"OK."
"I spanked the naughty boy today."
Grandpa Li laughed out loud, "I didn't study well in class and made mistakes again. Thanks to Master Xie's gentle and persuasive teaching methods, our children are all wolves and they have to be ruthless. Please keep an eye on them and keep them tight."
The children of the Li family are very wild. In the past, my second uncle personally taught them and also started beating them directly.
Mr. Xie is a scholar and a thug. To the Li children, this is just scratching an itch and is not considered punishment.
"I also think Master Xie is too gentle, is that okay?"
"Believe me, it can be done. You do the beating, and he teaches, it's just right. Just beating without teaching won't work, and it will be more troublesome if the skin is beaten. You must correct your mistakes after you know them."
Grandpa Li said with a smile that when teaching children, one must pay attention to methods and not use force.
"It's up to you."
After chatting with his grandfather, telling him what he wanted to do, and asking the old man to give him some pointers, Li Yu felt more confident.
"Grandpa, my father has taken away all the horses at the racecourse. He has not left any for the family, and they are all useless for training. Should I buy more horses? This will cost money everywhere."
Li Yu knows how to settle accounts, and after a quick calculation in her mind, she realizes how difficult it is for her parents to support a big family.
His family of more than 500 people all need to eat.
"Slow down first."
"How about I go and let the Du family know?"
Li Yu thought of the Du family.
Grandpa Li shook his head and straightened his expression, "Yu'er, we can't do this, so what's the difference between us and that general soldier? We're all trash. You and your brothers snatched the racecourse back, so it's okay for him to give it to you. But if he gives you the horse again, it's okay.
It’s not appropriate anymore. As a human being, you have to have a bottom line and you can’t cross it. Let’s buy it ourselves.”
"Okay, then I'll wait for the ship to come back later and get the money to buy the horse."
After hearing this, Li Yu immediately bowed her head and admitted her mistake. She couldn't develop the habit of treating the Du family as a moneymaker. That would be cheating.
