Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 58: You Boy Has 800 Minds
In the yard, the two brothers kept arguing with each other.
The old man suddenly interjected: "Noisy! If you two continue to quarrel, your mother will be annoyed by the quarrel. I'm afraid it won't be as simple as not being able to sleep!"
The two spoke up at the same time.
The whole yard was so quiet that you could hear breathing.
Compared to those three careless cheap sons, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Xu are much more considerate.
Be proactive and careful.
She only did it once yesterday, but today she has learned a lot.
Even though it was Zhu's first time making it, the syrup was cooked just right.
Li San, who went out to cut reeds, was a man worth two.
The reeds he carried back alone were twice as many as those carried back by Li Er and Li Si yesterday!
Mrs. Xu put down the reeds together, and Li San hugged the bundled thatch and went to the roof.
This is really called working hard without complaining.
Even if you treat him well, he is not like Li Si, who flatters and says nice things to make people happy.
But if you treat him badly, not only does he not have any resentment, he still does his best for the family.
Lin Tao really couldn't understand why the original owner looked down on Li San so much.
The old lady was also a caring person. She got up and used her crutches to scoop up some water and bring it to the bottom of the stairs.
Li San was so stupid that he could only say thank you, but he would drink all the water in the gourd.
Here, even if the three Xu ladies are making grass ash salt for the first time, every time they do something wrong, the two little ones are there to remind them.
It went very smoothly and the salt was prepared.
Because the turtle dove leaves cannot be left for a long time after being picked, the forest peaches were all rubbed directly.
This will make three large pots whole.
"I'm afraid there won't be enough chicken feet and pear syrup to make so much fairy tofu," Mrs. Xu asked.
Xiao Li Qian said: "Make more salt. The sweet ones are sold out, but the salty ones are not unsold."
"Yeah, it's salty and delicious."
Lin Tao rubbed the two little ones' heads and asked, "Can you three go set up a stall tomorrow?"
"Just us?" Mrs. Xu looked panicked, as if the sky was falling.
"The sugar and leaves are gone. I have to pick some back tomorrow. They have to stay at home to build the house again, so your sister-in-law probably won't want to go out." She glanced at Mr. Zhu.
Like an adult, Xiao Li Qian patted his chest and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'm here!"
"Uh-huh." Xiao Linglan still didn't like to talk. She was gesturing with her hands, which probably meant: "My sister can also help, so it will be okay."
After a long while, Mrs. Xu nodded.
"I'll go too! My brothers and sisters don't know how to drive an ox cart." Zhu suddenly said.
"But sister-in-law, you..."
"It's okay, I can do it." Mrs. Zhu said, holding her stomach.
Lin Tao returned to the main room, twisted the covering cloth, and put the small piece of cloth embroidered with peaches in the middle into her arms.
This was embroidered by Xiao Linglan for her, so of course she had to keep it well.
I took my needle, thread and strips of cloth, called Zhu Donghua and Duozi, and went to the east room.
"If you want to go out, you need to prepare several extra bags for replacement."
It's really fast if three people sew together. If one person sews two, there are three menstrual belts.
Including what Lin Tao made before, there are eight finished products in total.
Filled with plant ash and reed flowers, Lin Tao made it. In comparison, the word "ugly" is not enough to express it.
"Mom! Thank you!" Ms. Zhu's voice became more choked up, as if she was whispering to herself: "It is normal for a woman to live in a shack like that. So when she married into Lao Li's family, she would still live there every month.
Last time, I didn’t feel aggrieved. It’s just that in those days, people always said that I was evil and that I was unlucky, which made me feel sad.”
"I even hate myself, why am I a girl? Why am I not a man even though I have a lot of strength! Mother! This is the first time I feel that becoming a woman is not so unbearable."
Lin Tao, who had only been here for a few days, could not appreciate the bitterness in Zhu's words.
But Xu's eyes were already red, as if Zhu was not talking about herself, but her.
Even the tears that fell down contained grievances.
"Okay! Without women, how can these men jump out of the cracks in the rocks? You have to believe that not only are you no worse than men, but with a little effort, you can even be better than many men!"
"Life is your own, you don't have to live in the eyes of others! Life is not lived by mood, but lived by mentality. As long as you adjust your mentality, you can always have sunshine everywhere even in the harsh winter."
This is Lin Tao’s summary of her previous life!
She was so poor that she couldn't even pay her tuition, so she could only adjust her mentality and work hard to survive.
She gave this sentence to Duo Zi and Zhu Donghua, not for anything else, just because they needed it!
"Yes!" Zhu was like an inflated balloon, her whole body was much more energetic than before.
"Okay, you all should go to bed early. You'll have to get up in the middle of the night. For the second child, let Linglan accompany me up the mountain tomorrow."
"Only Lanlan?" Xu asked.
"I originally wanted to bring Gan'er with me, but you can't set up the stall without his help."
Xu and Zhu Donghua blushed in shame, and Lin Tao said nothing more.
When leaving the east room, it was almost dusk, and there were rare beads of sweat on Li Si's face. Even the most lazy Li Yi, his back was soaked with sweat.
Feeling the increasingly hotter temperature, Lin Tao let out a sigh of relief.
There was no sign of rain this day.
If this continues, even if it is fairy tofu, no one will buy it.
In disaster weather, what people lack most is food!
"Third brother, come down and wash up and go to bed."
Lin Tao's voice made Li Yi start to make trouble again.
"Why! Mom! Why can he sleep but we can't?"
Out of anger, Li Yi directly threw the thatch in his hand at Li San.
However, Li Yithrow, who had been sleeping in bed for many years and did not exercise at all, only made his movements look big.
Li San, who firmly caught the thatch, said "Oh" and got off the roof obediently.
The clothes on his body had never been dried.
"Go and wipe it off. It's time to change these clothes."
As soon as Li San left, even Li Si couldn't sit still.
"I don't accept it! Mom, you are partial!"
"Yes! Mom is partial!"
"Huh, partiality? Okay, then which one of you two will accompany me up the mountain tomorrow?"
Lin Tao turned her eyes to Li Yi. Li Yi seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned pale: "I, I won't go."
Li Si was a very thoughtful person. When she saw Li Yi's son's skill, Li Si's eyes started to spin several times.
"Oh, if the boss isn't going, how about the fourth one?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Si's butt jumped up as if there were springs on it.
"I'm not going."
"Since you don't want to go, then shut your mouth and repair the roof quickly."
This time, the two of them shut up.
Lin Tao sent the two old men who tied the thatch back to the house to sleep. Then after washing, he returned to the main room.
As soon as I closed the door to the main room, I heard the eldest and fourth son starting to murmur again.
"Fourth child, why do you think the old lady wants to go up the mountain alone? She only takes one person with her!"
"Brother, are you afraid of being bitten by a snake once and afraid of well ropes for ten years? Do you think the old lady is stupid? With the hard work of the third brother, the old lady is willing to let him go and never come back?"
Li Yi suddenly realized: "Since there is no return, then why don't you go? You don't have to stay up all night to go up the mountain! You have eight hundred thoughts, you are not willing to go, you are only afraid of going up the mountain tomorrow...
