Chapter 139 Pretend to be naive and eat well

Facing the three pairs of resentful eyes, Li San seemed to be living in another time and space, squatting by the wall and eating his own food.

Li Er gritted his teeth and said, "This boy is really good."

Li Yi smacked his lips and said, "Oh! If I could be as quiet as him, I wouldn't be hungry."

Li Si snorted coldly: "He always pretends to be naive and eats well."

"Then our three brothers might as well be idiots!" Li Yi said to himself.

Li Si:......

Li Er:......

Lin Tao didn't say anything, no one dared to ask the three brothers to come over for dinner.

It wasn't until everyone had finished eating that Lin Tao stood up and said, "Five kilometers, load."

"Ah?" Li Yidu shouted.

"Mom! We haven't eaten anything yet! How can we find the strength to run five kilometers with a heavy load!"

Li Er glanced at Li Si and moved to the side without moving.

I guess this guy needs to be beaten.

Liran, in the next second, a straw sandal flew over, hit Li Si in the face, and landed where he was standing just now.

Looking at the straw sandals on the ground, Li Er felt that it was very dangerous.

When Lin Tao turned around and was about to pick up the strips on the broom, Li Er had already taken the basket and went out, squatting on the ground outside to pick up stones in the basket.

Li Yi, who came back to his senses, followed up with a backpack: "Second, you still have experience."

Li Er quickly urged: "Hurry up, don't wait for mother to come up with a note to chase you away, our butts will suffer."

Li nodded, picked up half the basket, and tried to carry it on his back.

"Brother, I advise you not to be petty with your mother, lest you come back later and be punished and run away again." The main reason is that no one can tell whether he will be implicated again.

After carrying a heavy load for five kilometers, I gritted my teeth and still managed to persevere.

If there are two...

Just thinking about it made Li Er's knees tremble unconsciously.

Li Yi swallowed, filled the basket obediently, and carried it on his back.

Over there, Li Si rubbed his face that was hurt by the straw sandals, and hurriedly gave the straw sandals back to the old lady: "Mom, don't be angry, I'm running away, why don't you just run away!"

After saying that, he rushed straight to the fleeing figure outside the door and shouted: "Big brother and second brother, wait for me!"

Li Er not only didn't wait, but also accelerated his pace.

"Every time you call me big brother, something bad will happen!" After saying that, Li Yi ran away after Li Er.

Li Si, who was picking up stones in a hurry, panicked: "Hey! Li Yi and Li Er, are we brothers anymore?"

Then I heard a response coming from the night: "If I didn't have no choice, you think I would be willing to be a brother with this kid like you!"

Li Si:......

In the small courtyard.

Lin Tao, who had put on her straw sandals, looked up and saw that there was no one at the entrance of the courtyard.

Looking at the small bamboo strips in my hand, isn’t it a waste?

Over there, the old lady held a bamboo broom and said, "Dad, this broom is bald. Let's make a new one tomorrow."

The old man in the kitchen shed readily agreed.

We had agreed with Gong Chengliang before that after dinner, we would send the three little ones to learn how to read.

Lin Tao called the third child to join him and led the three children over together.

Here, everyone in the village eats almost the same food.

When I arrived at Gong Chengliang's house, several of his daughters-in-law were busy cleaning up the large wooden table in the courtyard.

"Hey, why did the village chief come here together today?" As soon as Wang Qiuyue welcomed them to sit down, her second daughter-in-law brought water to them.

Lin Tao thanked her, and Gong Chengliang also sat over.

Although Gong Chengliang deliberately behaved naturally, Lin Tao still noticed something strange.

So he took the initiative to explain what happened during the day.

Regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Lin Tao only said that she learned it from Tulang Middle School in her hometown when she was a child.

"It's not like they said that Xian'er is angry. This means that we can only save her if we find her early and her anger has not faded."

After seeing Gong Chengliang let out a long breath, he returned to his usual expression.

Only then did the third child express his proposed ideas.

Throughout the whole process, Lin Tao kept staring at the expression on Gong Chengliang's face.

After Gong Chengliang listened, he turned around and asked, "Sister, did you teach me this?"

"You are overthinking." Lin Tao shook her head straightly: "I am an old woman who can identify herbs and medicines. I have never thought about this troublesome and thankless thing."

Gong Chengliang didn't ask any more questions, just agreed to the matter, and promised Li San that he would take care of the rest.

The big stone in Lin Tao's heart finally fell. Gong Chengliang really made the right choice.

Even if there is a famine this winter, she doesn't have to worry too much.

After the matter was finished, Lin Tao urged to leave.

Wang Qiuyue came over and pulled her aside.

"Sister, it's better for Mrs. Zhou to stay at home less. Hey! Didn't you see that she was at the entrance of the ancestral hall today..."

Wang Qiuyue whispered the story of Li San hugging Zhou Xiaohe. "Although Ms. Zhou has been cleared, she is still a widow no matter what. It will be good for her and your third son to be less right and wrong."

Lin Tao nodded without saying anything. After thanking him, he called Li San to leave.

Before leaving, Lin Tao suddenly thought of Gong Xiaojiu.

"Clan Chief Gong, can I send Gong Xiaojiu to learn literacy together in the future?"

Gong Chengliang nodded and said "ok".

After thanking him, Lin Tao led Li San away.

When she got home, Lin Tao opened the door and sat on the steps of the hall waiting for the three boys to come back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he waved to Gong Xiaojiu, who was sitting on the threshold of the east row house.

The muscles in the little guy's legs have atrophied a little because he hasn't moved around much for a long time.

He was unsteady when he walked.

Xiao Li Qian was very attentive. When he was there, he not only accompanied and took care of him, but also found a wooden stick to use as a crutch for Gong Xiaojiu.

When Gong Xiaojiu sat down next to him, Lin Tao asked in a low voice: "Xiaojiu, when you get better, how about you learn to read with Li Qian?"

"Yes!" Gong Xiaojiu nodded, his first smile of the day finally appearing on his face.

"Grandma, thank you!"

Lin Tao shook her head: "Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank your mother. Grandma didn't send you to learn to read in vain."

After saying that, he called to Mrs. Zhou who was passing by.

"Starting from tomorrow, you can teach Lanlan and Youyounvhong during the day. It won't be in vain. When Xiaojiu gets well, Xiaojiu will learn literacy with Gan'er. In addition, I will teach them every month

What do you think about getting some food as payment?"

Zhou Xiaohe was stunned on the spot, his eyes widened.

"What? Don't want to?" Lin Tao asked.

Zhou Xiaohe quickly shook his head and explained: "Auntie, it's unnecessary. Food, food is too valuable. Besides, you saved Xiaojiu, and I still owe you the medical fee and medicine money! Starting tomorrow..."

Lin Tao interrupted with a wave of his hand: "I can owe you anything, but I don't owe you any favors. If you are willing, we'll make an agreement. If you're not willing, when your son gets well, you two will move out as soon as possible.

"

"Yes! I do!"

"Then it's settled. Starting tomorrow, you can take care of the housework and teach my two granddaughters well."

Seeing Zhou Xiaohe nod, Lin Tao waved her hand away.

Turning around, he saw Li Er and Li Si appearing outside the courtyard gate, panting.

Their clothes were soaked through, and their hair looked like it had been caught in the rain.

Li Er is a little better. Although his feet are trembling, he can at least still walk.

Li Si crawled back even after walking.

Only Li Yi was missing.

"Where's the boss?" Lin Tao asked.

Li Er, who put down his backpack and fell to the ground, pointed to the back.

After a short while, in the moonlight, a dark shadow was vaguely visible on the ground, crawling toward the courtyard door.

That way, it looks like a maggot that has become sperm.

Every time he moved, there was the sound of stones falling to the ground.
