Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 23 Fighting with Heaven and Earth and Fighting with My Old Lady
Chapter 23 Fighting with Heaven and Earth and Fighting with My Old Lady
When the two elders finished eating, Lin Tao put on the same stinky face as the original owner and ordered Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Xu to send the two elders back.
Just as I was about to return to the main room, I saw two little ones lying on the window of the west room.
Lin Tao entered the west room and looked at the two little dogs with their eyes closed on the kang where a straw mat was divided into two.
He whispered: "Stop pretending, I saw you leaning against the window just now."
Little Lily of the Valley pretended to be asleep, her small eyebrows trembling up and down along with her beating eyelids.
Xiao Li Qian, on the other hand, was found out and simply stopped pretending and sat up.
"Milk, I can't sleep, can you tell us a story?"
Xiao Linglan, who had been pretending for a long time, opened her eyes timidly, and like a little insect, she huddled up in the corner of the bed and hugged her knees.
A pair of big eyes that were sunken due to long-term hunger made her look like an alien cub.
This day was like popcorn, with so many things happening. It was strange that the two little dogs, who were rarely seen by people in the past, could sleep well after all this.
However, Xiao Li Qian's request was really difficult for Lin Tao.
In her previous life, she had experienced many professions, but she had never been a kindergarten teacher.
I have searched through my memory dozens of times, but I can't find a story that can make children happy.
What about Cinderella and the prince, that’s all bullshit that deceives people into giving up the fight!
If a person wants to truly change his life, there is no other shortcut except using up 100% of his strength and fighting fate to the end.
Has anyone ever thought about why the story of Cinderella ends when she marries the prince?
The reason is very simple!
Everything you get by relying on others will always be just bubbles!
As soon as others tell you to stop, you will become that girl who can only sleep in the ashes again!
The only person who can change your life is yourself!
After thinking about it, Lin Tao talked about Journey to the West, and the two little ones' eyes lit up when they heard it.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the courtyard door rang.
"Okay, let's stop here for today's story."
Lin Tao patted the straw pillow, and the two little ones went back to sleep obediently.
This family was so poor that they didn't even have quilts, so the whole family slept in the same clothes.
When it snows in winter, it will be covered with a thick layer of hay.
As for whether you can survive the winter, it all depends on your fate!
Xiao Linglan tugged at the corner of her clothes, making strange and coherent movements with her little paws, which made Lin Tao's eyes full of questions.
"Lan Lan wants to ask, when will Grandma tell us stories again?" Xiao Li Qian stuck out his little head and asked.
Lin Tao reached out to hold Linglan's little hand, but the little girl retracted her hand the moment she touched her, as if she was electrocuted.
"Tomorrow, I'll tell you more tomorrow."
Xiao Linglan was so excited that her eyes were full of little stars.
"Lanlan, you can talk. Whatever you want to ask in the future, you can just say it."
The little girl bit her lip and her jaw seemed to move, but there was still an unconcealable fear in her big eyes.
Looking at the clothes without sleeves on the little girl, Lin Tao thought, if the piece of cloth is not sold, she can make clothes for the two little ones first.
In the yard, Li Er and Li Sixiang helped them in. Their backpacks were empty.
Looking at their sweat-soaked clothes, Lin Tao knew that these two silly sons were conscious of themselves this time and were not smart enough.
Xu and Zhu, the hind legs, are also back.
Many people wanted to help Li Er into the house, but Li Er waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, no, please stay away from me."
With a surprised look on his face, Duozi filled a basin of water and followed him to the west room.
Here, Mrs. Zhu also quietly returned to the east room. Judging from Mrs. Zhu's appearance, she should still be worried about Li Yi.
Lin Tao was not worried at all.
If Li Yi can come back from the mountain, it means that at least he can be saved.
If she is too lazy to wait for her or Mrs. Zhu to go up the mountain to carry him, haha, she will pretend that she does not have such a cheap son.
After all, lazy cancer also has levels. If he is really a late-stage patient, let him be!
Li Sichong stroked his face with some water, dragged his tired body back to the terraced house in the east house.
The next day.
Before dawn, I heard some movement in the courtyard.
In the past few days, Lin Tao has become familiar with the daily routine of farmers.
After opening the door and coming out, the two little ones sat next to Mrs. Xu. Xiao Linglan picked grass, Xiao Ligan rubbed the rope, and Mrs. Xu strung the eggs together five in a row.
Lin Tao remembered what she said yesterday about taking the wild eggs to the town and selling them.
Little Li Qian nodded and called out: "Milk."
Still under her encouraging and expectant gaze, little Suzulan managed to shout like a little milk cat: "Milk."
"Mom, you're up." Mrs. Xu put down what she was doing and ran to fetch water and bring it to the stone table.
He also brought over the ashes of the plants and trees that he had smashed up in the morning.
Believe it or not, this pitch-black plant ash powder is used for brushing teeth.
As for the toothpaste, it is a small branch about the length of your index finger, with one end of the branch carefully torn apart. When standing up, it looks a lot like a broom.
In the memory of the original owner, there was no trace of the toothbrush at all. Lin Tao was used to living alone in the wilderness in her previous life, so she accepted it calmly. Anyone else would have gone crazy.
"Mom said yesterday that the gray grass and trees hurt the teeth, but today I've made them much thinner. Mom, try it. If the teeth still hurt, I'll make them thinner."
After saying that, Mrs. Xu went back to skewering eggs.
When Mrs. Zhu came back from carrying water, she learned that she was going to the town to sell eggs. She whispered beside Mrs. Xu: "It will take two or three days to go to town, and these eggs can't be sold for much money. The eggs from Lao Er's house , you tell mother, how about we go up the mountain to get some eggs and sell them tomorrow."
Lin Tao knew in her heart that Mrs. Zhu was still thinking about Li Yi, and she was looking for Fang and wanted to go up the mountain to find him.
Mrs. Zhu felt her gaze and did not dare to say a word.
He poured the water from the small bucket into the water tank and carried it out again.
"Where are the second and fourth children?" Lin Tao asked.
Mrs. Xu pointed to the door with a smile and said, "I went out to collect firewood early in the morning."
Because farmers work in the mountains every day, they usually don't have much firewood at home. One or two days is enough.
Lin Taozheng was wondering why these two cheap sons suddenly became diligent.
Then I heard Mrs. Xu say again: "My fourth uncle said to go up the mountain and dig some more white grass."
Only then did Lin Tao realize that Li Si was so smart. He probably got up early and hid in the mountains because he was afraid of being called to town!
Digging drumsticks doesn't mean you won't be able to come back for a while!
I'm afraid I don't think it's fun to fight against the sky, the earth, and my mother!
However, Li Si was still too young to fight with her.
After washing, Lin Tao took out a twig from the bamboo broom that was about to be bald, and carried it behind her back before going out.
Observe the surrounding terrain.
Then turn right and walk quickly towards the hill where few people go.
Sure enough, before walking for more than a quarter of an hour, I heard Li Si's triumphant voice.
"Second brother, don't worry. My mother never thought that we are here. Let's relax and sleep for a while. When mother goes to town, we can go back down the mountain and go back to sleep."
"If the fourth child finds out about this, I'm afraid he will be beaten again."
"What are you afraid of? Since you were a child, haven't you been beaten often enough? I'm not even afraid, but you're afraid of a hammer."
Then the next second...
"Mother? Fourth child, mother, mother."
"Mom is out?" Li Si opened his eyes leisurely.
Then the burning pain in his arms and thighs made him jump.
"Ouch! Mom! It hurts, it hurts, stop hitting me! Ouch, it hurts!"
The small bamboo strips in Lin Tao's hands were used to perform the exercises on the left and right sides, so that they would catch the rain and dew.
As soon as the sky broke, the wailing screams of Li Er and Li Si could be heard in the sky above Gongjiazhai, as well as the cries for help. This chapter has been completed!
