Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 209: Marriage is up to you
"Well, don't eat it later." Lin Tao continued what she was doing without raising her head.
Zhou Xiaohe and Duo Zi came over to help, and Li San also brought over a bamboo tube and started to learn how to make it.
"Well, then, I'm here to help, too." Li Er clumsily brought it to Li San.
Everyone has something to do, how could Li Si not do it? No matter how much he resisted in his heart, he still reached out to do it from time to time.
With more people, everything can be done faster.
Soon, a bowl of small intestine was filled.
"Okay, let's stop here today! The second and fourth sons will be in the corner of the courtyard tomorrow. They will use stones to build a small shed half a person high. Then they will go up the mountain to cut some cypress branches and come back. The third brother will take care of the arrangements for burning charcoal.
.”
The three silly boys nodded in agreement.
"Xiao He, although no one can live in the new house yet, but there are people learning embroidery, you can teach them there. It's best for everyone to see when they are walking up and down the mountain."
"Yes!" Zhou Xiaohe responded.
As for Duo Zi and Xiao Wu, they still have to take good care of the old lady.
While they were talking, Niu Niu came in carrying six hare skins.
"Po, the skin is peeled off."
Lin Tao took it and took a closer look, and couldn't help but admire Xiao Nizi's peeling skills, how perfect she was at it.
"Just in time, Xiaohe, come here."
Three people gathered around.
"Do you know how to spin?" Lin Tao asked.
Mrs. Xu shook her head. Her family was poor and knew nothing but farming and digging.
Xiao Wu also shook his head.
Zhou Xiaohe looked sideways and pondered for a while, then hesitantly said: "I, I saw my mother do it when I was young."
"Will it?" Lin Tao asked directly.
Zhou Xiaohe nodded reluctantly, and then said: "But at that time, my mother was spinning a kind of grass."
Lin Tao nodded.
That's right, isn't linen just fiber from plant stems spun into thread and then woven into cloth?
So I briefly explained the combing process.
People who don't know how to weave can't understand it, but Zhou Xiaohe understands it.
"Understood?" Lin Tao asked.
Zhou Xiaohe nodded.
"Then if Pangzi doesn't come tomorrow, you can lead them to make arrangements for spinning rabbit fur."
Rabbit hair is similar to wool and cat hair. They are both relatively fluffy hair and can be spun.
It's not as irritating as the wild boar. Apart from making snow boots and rattleskins, those things are really useless.
Counting the days, Zhu Donghua should be back tomorrow.
It just so happened that after giving Niu Zaizi a day's rest, she could take Niuniu up the mountain to see if she could hunt some more rabbits.
After all, these six rabbits are too few for spinning rabbit fur.
After that, he had to deliver charcoal and wild boar meat to Xu Deren.
As for the rabbit! Tomorrow we can make a meal of braised rabbit and roasted whole rabbit.
I can hardly stop laughing just thinking about it.
After arranging everything, Lin Tao cleared her throat.
"Everyone happens to be here, and I have something else to say."
"San'er, you are a grown-up, shouldn't you decide on your marriage?"
Li Si was the most excited and punched Li San with one fist.
Even Li San was pushed forward by his punch, which showed that the force was quite strong.
"My dearest lady, do you have a girl you like?"
He rolled his eyes at Li Si, looked at Li San and asked: "Three, do you have a girl you like? After all, I don't want our family to make trouble like before, causing trouble among the dogs."
Everyone glanced at Li Er and Xu.
Li Er waved his hands like a kid who made a mistake: "That's all in the past. Now that I know my mistake, I will do my best. It will never be the same again."
After saying that, he raised his hands and swore: "I promise."
Li Si pursed his lips, Li San shook his head, Xiao Wu snorted and patted Xu's hand to reassure her, while Xu lowered her head and said nothing.
Feeling everyone's distrust, Li Er took Xu's hand, put it on his chest and said, "I, Li Er, swear here today that if I do it again, I will thunder from the sky."
Lin Tao looked at it and slapped her forehead.
This thing about men really hasn’t lasted for thousands of years!
Xu shyly withdrew her hand and hid behind Xiao Wu.
"Third, tell me what you think. This wife is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. You need to know that she is the only one who can help you when you are sick, injured, or old.
.As for your second brother, Mr. Xu, who is kind-hearted and has never killed anyone, if he had been a cruel one, he would have fallen asleep in the dirt a few years ago."
"Mom!" Li Er yelled so loudly that Lin Tao got goosebumps all over her body.
She was so angry that she pointed at Li Er and said, "If you dare to do this kind of stupid thing again, I'll just bury you alive!"
Li Er covered his mouth, nodded and stepped aside.
Li San, on the other hand, looked at Zhou Xiaohe and spoke.
"Mom, you always have the final say in marriage. I just hope that the other party is kind-hearted and knows how to be filial. Her son will treat her well."
The meaning is obvious. It doesn't matter whether you like her or not. What's important is to be filial. As for being kind-hearted, it should refer to someone who has entered the door, not Zhou Xiaohe.
This kid Li San, although he talks straightforwardly, he hides himself the deepest.
"I think Gong Qiqi is pretty good." Lin Tao glanced at Li San, who had no expression on his face, and then turned to Zhou Xiaohe.
"Xiao He, what do you think?"
"I have dealt with her once. She is a well-measured and polite girl! And she looks pretty good. She is really nice."
What Zhou Xiaohe said were his true feelings.
It can be seen that she thinks Gong Qiqi is worthy of Li San.
After Li San glanced at Zhou Xiaohe, he responded: "Then let mother make the decision! My son doesn't ask for anything else, he just wants harmony in the family."
"Okay, let's talk about this in a few days."
When she brought up this matter today, she mainly wanted to see what Li San thought of Gong Qiqi and Zhou Xiaohe's attitude.
Looking at it this way, Zhou Xiaohe really has no unnecessary thoughts about Li San.
After sending everyone away, Lin Tao went to bed early.
The heavy snow started to fall again in the middle of the night. When I woke up in the morning, although the snow was lighter, it was much thicker on the ground.
If the snow continues like this, food will become increasingly scarce.
This also means that hunting in the mountains will become increasingly difficult.
Yesterday I heard that I was going to go hunting in the mountains today, so Niu Niu simply stopped going to Gong Chengliang's house.
Lin Tao was well prepared, and tore off several more pieces of clothing, and wrapped them around Niu Niu's shoes and hands.
"Po, Niuniu is not cold, she is warm."
She knew that the little girl felt sorry for her torn clothes.
But she felt sorry for this little girl even more.
"Just make do with it today. Once the wild boar skin is tanned, grandma will get you some equipment to keep out the cold."
Then he put a fur coat on Niu Niu, carried a bow and arrow on his back, and led Xiao Nizi out.
We still walked up the mountain the way we did yesterday, because after Niu Niu took the rabbit, she put the trap back.
I went up today just to see if there were any prey in the trap.
When they arrived at the place, Niu Niu hurriedly ran to the place where the trap was placed.
