Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 68 Our family, Tao Zi has the final say!
"Ouch!" screamed, and Li's half-open mouth was filled with mud.
Lin Tao, who was furious, pulled out a thorn from the fence and walked quickly towards Li Yi.
Li Yi was not stupid. He looked at the thorn note in the old lady's hand and turned around to run away.
But when he was passing by Li Er, he tripped over something and fell!
Before I could get up, the note fell on me.
"Why is your face so big? Huh?"
"Ouch! I, I was wrong! Mom, can't I just say it? It hurts!"
The screams were so frightening that no one dared to come up and rescue him.
The two elders of the Li family covered their ears and turned back to the small courtyard.
Zhu Donghua didn't even look at her man, and followed Li Si to lift the ladder to get water.
Lin Tao only slapped her a dozen times, and the thorn sliver in her hand suddenly broke.
"I, I went in to do some work." Li Yi rolled and crawled back into the small courtyard.
Here, Li Si leaned the ladder against the fence and waved to Li San: "Third brother, I'll hold the ladder for you. You go up and lift it. Sister-in-law can just follow it from below."
Li Er, who had been hiding far away before, was looking for trouble and followed him to help hold up the ladder.
From the other side of the thorn wall, four full buckets were delivered.
"If it's not enough, I'll pick another one."
"That's enough!" Lin Tao responded quickly: "Sister Wang, thank you!"
"Ahem! See what you said! It was you who saved my daughter-in-law's life! A few buckets of water don't matter! You don't have to save, just do what you need to do! If it's gone, just shout and I'll pick it up for you!
"
"Okay! Thank you."
After thanking him, Lin Tao also asked Lao San to pass the bucket back.
After putting away the ladder and going back, Li Er couldn't help complaining: "How can four buckets be enough? Our water tank is only half full!"
Lin Tao slapped Li Er on the head: "People must know how to be considerate and grateful! Aunt Wang can care about our water, which is already a sign of friendship! In this world, no one owes anyone anything!"
Li Er touched his head and hid here and there, but could not avoid the old lady's hand.
When I was depressed, I unconsciously muttered: "Why don't you owe me any more? I obviously owe you a life! A few buckets of water are nothing!"
Lin Tao turned around and pinched Li Er's ears: "Since you said it, it's me you owe me! Then don't use this water! If you want to drink water, go up the mountain and pick it up yourself!"
"Ah? Mom! You're not serious, are you?" Li Er's voice was filled with tears.
"When have I ever not been serious?"
This time Li Er was dumbfounded! He followed the old lady and smacked his own mouth.
Who told it to owe it?
With the water, the two elders quickly baked the pancakes and cooked the porridge.
However, we only had porridge to eat in the morning, and the pancakes were taken up the mountain.
After packing up, Lin Tao led everyone except the two little ones and the two elders around to the back mountain and set off towards the mountain.
Because the means of transportation were really limited, she came prepared this time.
After harvesting the wild buckwheat flowers, I harvested the buckwheat on the spot and put only the buckwheat into a backpack to take home.
When the baskets were full, it seemed as if the wild buckwheat patches on the mountain had not been harvested much.
"It's such a big piece, let alone winter. I'm afraid our family can eat it for two or three years without any problem." Li Si wiped the sweat with one hand and rubbed his sore waist after bending for most of the day with the other.
Li Yi and Li Er, who had just been beaten in the morning, now had smiles on their faces.
"That's right! If those people knew that our family had no land and ended up harvesting the most food, how angry would they be? Hahaha, it makes me happy just thinking about it!"
Li kept talking and did not complain about the hard work.
Li Er also followed suit and laughed happily.
Look at Li San again, he always only does things and never talks.
Not affected by others, always as if no one else is around.
With this kind of temperament, if he were born into a wealthy family and could read and write, he would definitely be a good hand!
In the past few days since I have been here, today is the first time that there is no such thing as chicken feathers everywhere.
There is no more blame-shifting and fussing between brothers.
Days like this are actually pretty good!
The sky turned yellow and when he was about to go home, Lin Tao cut some vines and brought them over to cover the basket tightly.
She didn't want to let others see her on the way back and cause unnecessary trouble.
This person is really afraid of whatever he wants.
When I came out of the mountain, I actually met villagers who were going home after working in the fields.
However, when those people saw her, let alone say hello, they ran as fast as they could!
Lin Tao didn't care and walked towards the back hill of her courtyard.
Just like last time, it was already dark when I got home.
Two little ones were sitting in front of the courtyard, playing with small stones. When they saw her, they flew towards her.
After entering the small courtyard, Lin Tao asked Li San to clean the empty water tank, planning to use it to store tartary buckwheat noodles in the future.
To say that having an extra fence in front of your home is a blessing in disguise!
At least, if she is drying tartary buckwheat in the yard tomorrow, no one will see her, right?
In the following days, Mrs. Wang would still deliver four buckets of water every morning.
After Lin Tao taught her two elders how to handle tartary buckwheat seeds, she took her whole family up the mountain to harvest them every day.
Then, they saw that the big water jar would soon be filled with tartary buckwheat noodles. This made the two elders very worried.
On this day, as soon as Lin Tao came back, the second elder said: "Peach, the jar is full, why don't we just stop collecting the buckwheat seeds from the mountain? If we take them back, there is no place to store them. It would be nice if the family had money, and then
If we buy a few large tanks, our family will be better off this winter!"
Don't look at these days, everyone here is so busy that they can't even put their feet down.
But there was satisfaction and joy on their faces.
"It's okay. I'll take some to town tomorrow and sell them."
Anyway, the ones that have been confiscated on the mountain can be eaten for a whole year, let alone a winter, and there will be no problem.
"Do you want to sell it?" The old lady was the first to stand up and object: "As long as it doesn't rain for a day, the food will become more and more expensive. If you sell it now, you won't be able to afford it in the future. What can you do?"
The old man tugged at the old lady: "Look, you're anxious again, aren't you? How many times have I told you that when it comes to family matters, it's up to Tao Zi!"
This time the old lady slapped her thigh: "Look at my memory! Why did I forget it again? Sell, sell, sell! If Tao Zi said to sell it, then sell it! Old man, don't forget to talk about me, you will do the same next time
Remember! Taozi has the final say in our family!"
"Yes! Remember it!"
The two elders were chatting and laughing, and then went to work in the kitchen shed.
Now there is so much tartary buckwheat noodles that there is almost no room to store them, and the elders feel sorry for their grandchildren and their wives, so they have increased the previous quota of one cake per person to three cakes per person.
It's just that the white rice porridge was so thin that it almost turned into rice soup.
After eating these days, the little rice is almost gone.
While eating, Lin Tao made arrangements for tomorrow's work.
"You can't go out from the village road, and the bullock cart can't go. You can only go there on foot! Mrs. Xu, you and the boss will go up the mountain tomorrow to continue harvesting. The four of them will follow me to set up a stall."
When it comes to walking to the town to set up a stall, everyone who looks up is Li Yi, who was once possessed by laziness and cancer.
But this time, he learned his lesson and only glanced at the old lady without daring to say a word. This chapter has been completed!
