Li Tannian has never raised a child, and has never seen a child cry.
At first, she tried to pat the little guy's back to comfort him, but Little Si Bao was a cryer. The more she patted him, the harder he cried.
Later, she simply put Little Four Treasures on the small stool, let him cry, and started eating the brown rice porridge herself, as if she didn't care about him.
Dabao, Erbao and Sanya wanted to coax Xiaosi Bao, but they were all persuaded by Li Tannian's look.
Xiao Sibao lost his energy while crying, so he asked Li Tannian for brown rice porridge.
Lu Dabao and the others were dumbfounded.
After the meal, Li Tannian looked at the four little ones with unkempt and gray faces, boiled a pot of water and ordered them to take a bath.
The four little ones had full stomachs and behaved themselves. They fetched water and went back to the house to wash themselves.
After they finished washing, Li Tannian could see their faces clearly.
Dabao and Xiaosibao look somewhat similar to Lu Zhi. Although their facial features are excellent, they are too skinny. Erbao and Sanya, the twins, do not look like Lu Zhi at all, but they are also handsome in appearance.
.
In time, as soon as their nutrition catches up and they grow some flesh on their faces, they will definitely become beautiful little babies.
Li Tannian nodded with satisfaction and went out with his backpack on his back.
The four little ones lined up in a row and looked at each other.
Finally, Sanya chased after her: "Stepmother, where are you going? I'll go with you."
Li Tannian did not refuse.
After all, the original owner was not familiar with Qingshi Town, so it was a good thing to have Sanya to lead the way.
Not long after they went out, they saw a man and woman in their early thirties walking towards them.
The man was wearing a linen short coat and carrying a hoe on his shoulder, looking honest. The woman was carrying a basket of radishes, obviously she had just returned from the fields.
As soon as Li Tannian recognized these two people as Lu Zhi's eldest brother and sister-in-law, he heard Sanya shout sweetly: "Uncle, uncle!"
"Alas!" Lu Dalang responded cheerfully, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, pinched his ear.
Lu Dalang suddenly looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, his head drooped, and he did not dare to look at Li Tannian and Sanya again.
Mrs. Chen even hid the radish in her hand behind her back, fearing that Sanya would ask her if she wanted more.
Li Tannian turned back and glanced at Sanya, and she couldn't help but frown when she saw the little guy turning his round black eyes, looking like he was used to it.
"Since they don't respond to you, don't shout in the future!"
"Okay." Sanya agreed readily, but she didn't think so in her heart.
She didn't care at all whether they should respond to her or not, but she had to at least please these people before her father woke up.
After the couple arrived at the river beach, they saw a lot of reed flowers.
Li Tannian took the sickle and cut the reed flowers side by side, while Sanya followed closely behind her, helping her move the basket on her back from time to time.
The reed flowers in the riverbank grew extremely well. After a while, Li Tannian had a basket filled with reed flowers.
"Stepmother, why did you get so many reed flowers?" Sanya asked.
"Fill the pillow." After Li Tannian finished speaking, he heard a "chirp" sound, and then a group of large birds with green heads and gray feathers swung out from the depths of the reeds.
No, to be precise, it was not a big bird at all, but a wild duck!
Li Tannian's eyes lit up: "Wait for me here!" Without waiting for Sanya to respond, she dived directly into the reed marsh.
Sure enough, she actually found three nests of green-shelled wild duck eggs in the place where those wild ducks flew out just now!
Those wild duck eggs are quite big, there are at least ten eggs in each clutch, and there are about thirty eggs in three clutches!
As soon as Li Tannian put the wild duck eggs in his skirt and walked out, he heard Sanya's voice coming from outside the reeds.
"stepmother!"
"Stepmother, where have you been?"
Li Tannian frowned and walked out quickly. Sanya had already hurriedly greeted him: "Stepmother, what are you doing inside, you?"
Li Tannian glanced into the reed marsh and hurriedly hissed at her.
She suddenly regretted bringing Sanya here.
The little girl is a talkative and her voice is not quiet. With such a voice, she can't scare away all the wild ducks?
These wild ducks are very clever. Once they are startled by others, they will not lay eggs in the same place as before!
"Stepmother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her like this, Sanya couldn't help lowering her voice.
Li Tannian pressed hard on the fluffy reed flowers in the basket on his back and put the wild duck eggs inside one by one.
"Please keep your voice down and don't attract people here."
When Sanya saw so many wild duck eggs, she was so shocked that she was speechless, and then she felt indescribably happy!
So many wild duck eggs are enough for them to eat several meals, of course, provided that the stepmother is willing to give them to eat!
Li Tannian finished packing the wild duck eggs, cut some reed flowers to cover them, and then glanced regretfully at the reed swamp.
This season is when wild ducks breed in large numbers, and there must be many wild duck eggs in the reed swamp. However, the reed swamp occupies a large area, and it is difficult to find them if you have to look for them next to each other.
If her space doesn't reset, the long-range drones in her arsenal will come in handy.
Li Tannian sighed, and suddenly heard a shouting sound. The mother and son looked over and saw a little boy flopping vigorously in the river not far away.
"Help, Sanya, help!" As if he saw a figure by the river, the boy in the water flopped a few more times.
"It's an iron ball!" Sanya turned her head and looked at Li Tannian pleadingly.
Li Tannian paused, put down her backpack, and jumped directly into the water. She was very good at water and brought people to the surface in a short time.
The iron ball choked a lot of water, and its little face turned pale and pale. It fainted as soon as it landed."
"Stepmother, is he okay?" Sanya asked urgently.
Li Tannian didn't say anything. He just turned the iron ball over and hit him hard twice on the back. Soon, the iron ball spat out two big mouthfuls of dirty water.
San Ya's face was filled with joy. Before she could say anything, she heard a shout coming from afar: "What did you do to my iron ball! Let go of my iron ball!"
When Li Tannian looked up, he saw Lu Tieqiu's mother, Zhao Susu, rushing over surrounded by a group of people.
Zhao Susu is in her early twenties and is the youngest daughter-in-law of the old patriarch of the Lu family. She lives up to her name, she is tall and strong, and has the power of a tiger.
She was also famous for her violent temper, and no one in the village dared to offend her easily.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Tannian suddenly spotted Lu Dabao in the crowd behind Zhao Susu.
Lu Dabao walked very fast, as if he was afraid of missing something. Li Tannian stood up, glanced at his injured legs and feet, and heard a cry of surprise.
"Iron ball, my poor son! You were fine when you went out before, but suddenly it became like this. If you have some shortcomings, how can I, a mother-in-law, survive!"
Lu Dabao glanced at Li Tannian indifferently, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"He's not dead yet." Li Tannian carried the basket on his back and was about to leave, but Lu Dabao suddenly said, "Stepmother, if you want to sell us four brothers and sisters, why do you even think about iron balls? The clan leader and grandfather's family
I have no grudges against you."
The more he spoke, the quieter he became, but like a string of sparks, it directly made Zhao Susu furious.
"You want to sell my iron ball! Li Tannian, you actually want to sell my iron ball!"
"He fell into the water and I rescued him." Li Tannian gave Lu Dabao a cold look.
Lu Dabao felt a sense of fear in his heart, but he still held his neck and said nothing.
The stepmother always treated them harshly, but in the past two days she suddenly changed her temper. She must be plotting against them.
Rather than being plotted by her, it is better to deal with her first. It is best to use the hands of the patriarch to drive her out of Lujia Village!
