Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 49: No Golden Fingers, You Can Only Count on the Labor of the Family
Chapter 49: No Golden Fingers, You Can Only Count on the Labor of the Family
"We are helping Li Yi, not the relatives! You are so lazy, how can you still handle it?" the old man said, and even went up to give Li Yi a kick.
Li Er quickly helped the second elder into the yard.
When the old man saw the branches in the yard, he said the same thing as Li San: "This won't work! Who have you seen using this to repair the roof of their house?"
Li Er and Li Si still defended themselves.
When the two elders sat down at the stone table, the old lady said, "If we let you mend the roof, will your mother scold us when she comes back?"
"That's right! We're too old to do anything like that! Hurry up and go up to the mountain to cut the thatch before it's too early to patch it up. If we wait for your mother to come back, we'll see if the top is still intact. Let's see what you guys say."
"Yeah, yeah." Li San, who didn't open his mouth, kept nodding in agreement.
There was no other way, so Li Er and Li Si went up the mountain obediently.
***
Fangshi.
Lin Tao looked around the places where pigs were killed and sold for meat, but she couldn't find anyone selling cattle.
Later I inquired and found out that as cattle are important laborers, the government does not allow them to be killed or sold! Even in famine years, you can only eat the cattle you kill and are not allowed to trade them.
Now Lin Tao really couldn't find the place to cry.
When I returned to my stall, few copies of the fish scales had been sold.
Lin Tao closed the stall. If he continues to sell it at this rate, he won't be able to make much money today.
When leaving, Sister Yu wanted to give another fish, but Lin Tao confiscated it alive and well.
I sold less than 20 copper coins today, so I can't use 15 to buy fish!
"Then take these fish scales back too."
After rejecting the fish, and then rejecting the kindness of others, it is not good after all.
I had to stuff two copper plates and take away a few packages of fish scales.
On the way back, Zhu's car became more stable.
Lin Tao also had a new plan in mind. She would have to go up the mountain tomorrow to find something else that could be sold for money.
"Qian'er, do you really not want to be a descendant?" Xu asked suddenly, causing Lin Tao to turn around and look.
Xiao Liqian nodded seriously.
"Why?" Xu asked.
Xiao Li Qian suddenly smiled at Lin Tao and said, "I want to study medicine with Grandma. In the future, as a doctor, I can also make money and save people. Just like Grandma."
Mrs. Xu said nothing.
But Lin Tao is suffering! Not to mention that the original owner only knows some herbal medicines, he is at most a half-doctor. And he also knows some commonly used pharmacological knowledge. Does this have anything to do with being a doctor or medical skills?
Seeing Xiao Li Qian's determined eyes, Lin Tao was defeated.
"Okay! Now that you have an ideal, you must work hard."
"Yes!" Xiao Li smiled dryly. Like Mr. Xu, his eyebrows were curved, which was very healing.
Lin Tao just felt that there were more places to spend money!
***
Because I left Fangshi earlier than last time, I returned home much earlier.
Lin Tao deliberately looked at the corner, but didn't see Li Yi.
Weird!
When the door was opened, Li Yi and Li San were seen sitting on the ground, tying up thatch.
It's just that Li Yi's movements were as slow as the sloth in Zootopia!
Over there in the kitchen shed, the two elders seemed to be busy making food.
Lin Tao raised her eyebrows unconsciously.
"Mom, you are back." Li Er and Li Si hurriedly came down the stairs.
"Who let him in?" Lin Tao asked, pointing at Li Yi.
Li Er and Li San both pointed at the stove shed.
The old lady came out of the stove holding a big pot and said, "He promised to do good things in the future and never be the same again."
As soon as Li came over, he knelt at her feet: "Mom, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me just once!"
"Mom, please forgive me for once! There are so many things to do at home, and if there is one more person, it can be done faster!"
Li Si's words really touched Lin Tao's heart.
"Okay! I happen to be going up the mountain tomorrow, so just stay."
Sitting on the stone bench, Lin Tao saw a large pot of cooked porridge on the stone table. There were also a lot of wild vegetables in the porridge.
Come to think of it, the old lady must be reluctant to use all the white rice.
"Going up the mountain again?" Li Yi shouted.
"What? Are you afraid of being tired?" Lin Tao asked.
Li Yi shook his head repeatedly and explained: "Mom, you are not going to throw me into the mountains again, are you?"
These words almost made Lin Taoxiao laugh out loud.
Co-authoring this article has a shadow on my mind!
"If you follow me carefully, you won't be left in the mountains."
"Yes, yes, my son knows."
The old lady brought two small bowls and put them on the table, and said to Li Yi: "Son, my grandma has said something ugly first. If you don't listen to your mother again, your grandpa and I will never help you again!
Did you hear that?"
Li nodded.
"Daughter-in-law, from now on, you should teach them how to do things well. We will do the cooking and boiling water at home. I guarantee that when you come back, you will be able to drink hot water and eat a bowl of hot rice. Do you think so?"
Lin Tao didn't say anything. She couldn't understand why the old lady suddenly thought about it.
While I was confused, the old man came over with a bowl.
"Daughter-in-law! In the past, we couldn't let go and blamed you for Lao Daqiao's death. We were not afraid of your anger. I tell you the truth, at that time, we were really afraid that you would leave these little ones behind.
Just run away with someone! After all, no one can hold these kids down except you, right?"
"These days, you have made them change, and this family has become more like a home! Although we are old and can't do much physical work, we can still boil water, cook outside, chop firewood, etc.
We also want to do something for this family to make it up to you. If you are still angry, I will build an earthen jar grave by myself tomorrow and sit in it. I will not be ashamed of you for bringing food to our old couple.
"
"You are a dying man. If you die early and won't be a drag on you, we will feel more comfortable!"
Zhu, who came in with the cow, wiped her tears quietly.
Mrs. Xu hugged the two little ones and looked at her eagerly.
Lin Tao let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the original owner's holiday with this old couple really had nothing to do with her.
Now that she has no golden fingers, she can only rely on the hard work of this family to improve her living environment.
It's nice to have two elders helping to take care of the house, cooking and so on.
Looking at Li Yi, Lin Tao nodded and said, "It's just this once! For the sake of your grandpa and grandma!"
"Yes! Yes, my son knows."
As Li Yi said "Know", his eyes almost fell into the pot.
Lin Tao sent Xu to take out the fish scales, wash them and boil them in water.
I put the remaining fish scales from today on the table.
"If we can't sell it, let's eat it ourselves." No matter how you say it, fish scales also have nutritional value.
It contains not only protein, fat, lecithin, unsaturated fatty acids, collagen, but also a variety of vitamins, as well as calcium, iron, zinc and other trace elements.
In Lin Tao's last life, fish scales could also reduce the accumulation of cholesterol in blood vessel walls and prevent arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and heart disease.
"Let's eat!" The old lady scooped up a bowl of wild vegetable porridge and placed it in front of Lin Tao: "I made these two bowls of side dishes. You can try them." This chapter has been completed!
