Chapter 169 Is mother sick? Why are you still muddy?

Hearing Li Si's roar, Lin Tao turned around.

I saw Li Si pointing at everyone and saying: "My third brother has become the village chief. How has he failed to fulfill his responsibilities? Before the snow disaster is coming, did I give you a warning? Look at the other people in the village! Isn't it enough?

You didn’t even suffer from cold or hunger! You didn’t listen to my advice! You deserve what happened today!”

"Besides, I can take you up the mountain today only for the sake of my third brother! If my third brother had not become your village chief, you people would be dead sooner or later! You all have no brains.

It seems that I won’t listen to a word that’s good to you. Tell the kid you’re leading on the way to hell, and you can go on your way!”

"Do you know what your name is? According to my mother, you are called dogs biting Lu Dongbin. You don't know a good heart! You are still not convinced! Come on, who is not convinced? Come out and argue with me!"

The villagers lowered their heads, and no one complained again in the following time.

As dusk approached, the villagers began to go down the mountain one after another. As they were leaving, they all stood in front of Li San and thanked him respectfully.

Lin Tao raised her eyebrows.

What's going on? Did you wake up this kid Lao Si?

Before the people had finished walking, Li Yi came over and asked, stroking his belly: "Mom, all the wood I wanted to pick up has been picked up in the pit. It's getting dark, shouldn't we go home?"

"Are you in a hurry? If you're in a hurry, go down the mountain first."

"No, no rush, no rush." ​​Li Yi walked away obediently.

After the villagers had gone away, Lin Taocai ordered again: "Go, get soil and bury this pile of wood."

This time, Li Si, who had changed his gender, although he was confused, he did as he was told without asking a question.

Li Yi and Li Er had confusion on their faces and chased after Li Si.

"Fourth child, why did you bury the chopped firewood?"

"How did I know!" Li Si continued digging in the soil without raising his head.

Li Yi continued to whisper: "You don't know, why don't you ask?"

"You dare, you ask!" Li Si wiped his face: "Do you dare?"

"Don't dare."

"If you don't dare, just get to work quickly." Li San walked by carrying a basket of soil.

Here, Lin Tao was busy covering the wood with soil. The outside of the soil layer was also covered with thick snow.

Li Yi whispered from the side: "Is there anything wrong with my mother? Who can such a big bumpkin fool?"

In Li's eyes, the old lady just couldn't take the wood away, so she hid it.

I guess I thought, when I need it, I can get it when I need it.

But for such a big dirt bag, does it make any difference whether it is covered with snow or not?

However, the next moment, the old lady dug several holes under the bag.

Li Yi couldn't hold it in anymore and whispered to Li Er: "Second, is mom sick? Why are you still playing in the mud?"

"Sick?!" Li Er exclaimed in a low voice.

Li Yi added: "You think so too, right?"

Looking sideways, Li Er, who was originally standing next to him, unexpectedly stood next to Li San.

At this time, Li Er slapped his chest directly.

Fortunately, I can run fast. When the old lady is not sick, she never hits anyone softly. If she hits someone when she is sick, isn't it even more trivial?

He didn't want to be the first son in history to be beaten to death by his mother.

Lin Tao had been busy with the things at hand and did not pay attention to the subtle emotional changes among her sons.

After digging out a few holes in the bottom ring, light a fire and stuff it down from the unsealed opening on the top.

Large plumes of smoke followed the flames from the hole.

As the heat escapes, the outermost layer of snow melts and soaks into the soil covering the inside.

Lin Tao took a few steps back and heard Li Yi say in a low voice: "It's over, Mom is really crazy. I burned the good firewood before I even took it home. Everyone's work this day has been in vain."

!”

"What's wrong? It's gone after it's burned?" Lin Tao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Li Yi's expression changed and he quickly changed his words: "No! I'm happy to be with my mother..." The words suddenly stopped.

The boy's expression changed rapidly, as if he was holding back all his energy and his brain was working rapidly, thinking about what to say.

After a long while, I could only hold back one word: "It's worth it!"

"Happy to be with me?" Lin Tao's eyes twitched.

"That's right, that's right, the most important thing is that Mom is happy! We just think of it as exercising... Ouch! Mom, Ouch, it hurts, it hurts. Ah!"

The screams, accompanied by slaps, echoed through the mountains.

Li Er, who was not far away, let out a sigh of relief. Watching the old lady slap her, he couldn't help but frown.

It's so terrible. Before the old lady got sick, she could only get slapped once.

It's good now, those slaps are like raindrops, but they haven't landed at a fixed point yet.

I can't stop it even if I want to.

Fortunately, I wasn't there, otherwise I would probably be the one jumping up and down.

Lin Tao calculated that time was almost up and stopped.

Li hugged a tree pole and couldn't catch his breath: "Mom, don't, don't, stop fighting. I was wrong."

Lin Tao didn't say a word, and returned to the earthen kiln, using the melted snow to cover the entrance of the cave.

Li San came over to help, and Li Si followed behind with quick eyes and hands. Even Li Er, who had never been very discerning, also followed.

"Mom, are you going to die at the entrance of the cave?" Li Si asked.

Lin Tao nodded and explained: "This is a method of burning charcoal."

"Charcoal?!" Li Si was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out.

Next to him, Li Er asked softly: "What is charcoal?"

Li San shook his head: "I don't know."

"Of course you don't know! This charcoal is used by rich people for heating! That thing is extremely expensive!"

"You can also keep warm by burning firewood, and it's a lot of money." Li San sighed.

Li Siyi waved his hand: "You don't understand! The rich people, the grandparents, girls, and young men, burn charcoal in the stoves used to heat their houses in winter. This charcoal has no smoke, no smell, and no choking. The most important thing is

Yes, it’s warm!”

Li San was dissatisfied: "Our house is warm by burning firewood."

"Third brother! Why don't you think about the time when our family used to burn the kang? How unpleasant was the smell of smoke in that house when people walked outside? Look at those rich people, they are all fragrant.

, there is no smell of firewood smoke. People say that you can know what your home is like just by smelling it."

"Serious nonsense."

Li San hit the point again with one sentence.

Li Si waved his hands in embarrassment: "You haven't seen it before, so it's normal not to believe it!"

She turned around and asked excitedly: "Mom, when these wood are burned, is it really charcoal?"

Lin Tao nodded.

Li Si became even more excited: "What do you mean, mother, it suddenly snowed heavily today, so our family will burn charcoal and sell it in the town?"

I have to say that this kid Li Si has a very quick mind.

Lin Tao nodded again.

"Hahahahaha." Li Si looked up to the sky and laughed for a long time, then yelled: "Our old Li family is going to have trouble!"

Lin Tao was so shocked that her ears hurt.

Next to Li Er, a big snowball was stuffed into Li Si's mouth.

"Can you, kid, be normal? Stop thinking about all those ridiculous things all day long. We used to have charcoal in the winter, why is it gone this year? Besides, since it is a gadget made by rich people, why can't it be sold in the town?

?”

"Bah, bah, bah." Li Si spit out the snow in his mouth and said dissatisfied: "Why am I abnormal and out of tune? Listen to me..."
