Blessed woman in the farm gate

Chapter 29 No Difference

The Li family's lunch is not much different from the usual. According to the Li family's practice, except for New Year's Eve and the first to fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, lunch is not the focus of the day's food.

Generally speaking, it is better to eat at night, because men work in the mountains and fields during the day, and eating well at night reflects that the wife will love others.

It's the same today, that is, the lunch should be a little better. After lunch, Li Miaoyue took Li Fuyue to the field to deliver the food—usually Li Fuyue was not used to deliver the food, because she was too young to carry it. The bamboo basket with food was also afraid that she would knock it over.

But before Li Shu went out today, he specifically asked Li Fuyue to come with him, but there was nothing special about it, the main reason was that Li Shu wanted to watch his daughter come back, for fear of being abducted again.

So this was the first time Li Fuyue went to the field at noon.

The Li family's field is not far from the Li family's yard. After leaving the village, after walking around the path outside the village for a short time, they saw a large piece of land.

At this time, it is already the winter moon, and there are not many crops in the field, but after the first snowfall, the fields still need to be plowed, and the snow water will melt in to nourish the fertile soil, so there is also a saying "auspicious snow heralds a good year".

Walking along the way, I met many women or children who brought similar bamboo baskets to deliver food. These bamboo baskets are specially used in winter. Use cloth strips to plug the handles and gaps.

This can keep warm better, and it can also make the men who have been blown by the cold wind in the field for so long eat warm.

"Miaoya, Fubao." Li Shu put down the hoe in his hand, and the two sisters who rushed over waved.

Li Shu didn't have much time at the carpenter's place today. After he brought the letter to the carpenter, he did some manual work. The carpenter knew that he had something to do at home today, so he didn't keep him longer, and let him come back soon.

But Li Shu has always been honest with his family, and he couldn't stay idle, so he took the hoe and rushed to the field again.

Seeing that her own father was greeting them, Li Fuyue also raised her hands high: "Daddy!"

The two sisters walked over quickly: "Grandpa, uncle, third uncle, daddy, let's eat." Li Miaoyue also took out the things in the basket one by one. Inside was a plate of fried pork slices with mushrooms, a plate of braised soybeans, and a plate of boiled salt. Chinese cabbage.

In addition to the baskets, Li Miaoyue and Li Fuyue both had a cheap flat kettle hanging on their shoulders. In the past, they were filled with cold water, but today they contained egg drop soup.

Li Fuyue also took out the basket as if offering a treasure. The basket she was carrying was much lighter. Inside were four white flour steamed buns, which were soaked at home. They were not so fluffy, but they were not small. One steamed bun was enough for an adult to eat. , in addition to steamed buns, there is also a small plate of peanuts.

"Today's food is so good, my sister-in-law really took the trouble." Li Hai was surprised when he saw today's dishes, the food is really good, usually only steamed buns and a stir-fried vegetable.

This day's food is really delicious, and Mrs. Liu is in charge of the food at home. Could it be that Mrs. Liu took the money from her father's office to celebrate her daughter's birthday?

Old man Li frowned when he thought about it, not that he shouldn't eat too much on his granddaughter's birthday, but there is no free money in the world, and the money in the family is of great use.

If Li Fuyue had heard the old man Li's heart, he would have to add a sentence if he said that it might not be true: Master, let's just give money to him, in fact, it really happened.

As soon as Li Shan's father frowned, he knew what he was thinking about, and he also blamed Li Hai for his quick talk.

Li Miaoyue has always been articulate, seeing the eyebrows and lawsuits between adults.Immediately added a few words: "It's my aunt who said that today is Double Happiness, so I should eat something better. My aunt also took out all the sauced meat I made before, cut it up and prepared it for dinner. I heard from my aunt that there is still food at home. I prepared shochu, which was specially sent by my uncle's house."

The uncle Li Miaoyue mentioned was naturally not her own uncle, but Liu's natal brother.

The sauced meat that Mrs. Liu made before was for Li Meigui’s birthday, and she bought it with her own money, which means that the family’s expenses were subsidized by Mrs. Liu with her own money, so it’s fine. They also have to thank Mrs. Liu for her generosity.

Old man Li lost his opinion in an instant.

Li Shan found Li Miaoyue, a niece, more pleasing to the eye.

I really don't know if the second child has any children and grandchildren.

If you say no, these three daughters are more handsome than the other, and they are all sweet-mouthed and can shout at others. If you say yes, they have no sons, and Fuya has always had a dull temper before.

Li Shan was thinking about this esoteric question in his mind, when he saw his two younger brothers and his father, none of whom were polite, all holding steamed buns in one hand and chopsticks in the other, eating happily.

Li Shan quickly raised his chopsticks to join them.

That was the meat subsidized by his daughter-in-law!He needs to eat more!

Li Fuyue and Li Miaoyue both came over after lunch, so they waited aside. After Old Man Li and the others finished eating, they still had to pack up their things and take them back. The mission was considered a successful completion.

"Uncle Li, what did you eat today? It's so delicious, it made my gluttons come out!" The land adjacent to Li's family was cultivated by a pair of strong and chubby father and son. At this time, his son looked at it. My daughter-in-law brought a plate of fried dried cowpea and cornmeal buns, and smelled the fragrant smell coming from the next door, and couldn't help but ask.

Because it is an adjacent field, the two families are also very close.

Although meat and vegetables are hard to come by, for people like them, it is sometimes more important to establish a good relationship in the village, only in this way can they not be squeezed out - and old man Li deeply understands this.

Old man Li smiled: "Hey, we are all poor people, so we can eat some good food there. If we really have the conditions, how can our masters still need to come out to work? We have already stayed at home as masters I went! It’s just that my second granddaughter’s birthday is today, and my eldest daughter-in-law loves her daughter, so she cooks a few more dishes.”

As he spoke, he waved to the man who asked the question before: "Chen family boy, if you don't dislike it, come here and pick up some chopsticks!"

When Chen Dali heard this, he couldn't hold back his appetite anymore, and whispered to his father and daughter-in-law Xi: "I'll go grab some and come back."

In the end, the two families were happy to eat. In the second half of the meal, the sun came out from the clouds again, and the strong wind that had been howling all morning also subsided a little. stand up.

"Hey, did you see last night that a carriage with two horses entered the village in the middle of the night? Hey, that carriage is not to mention how impressive it is. What kind of big man is this? What are you doing in our village?" The speaker was a young daughter-in-law who lived at the entrance of the village.

"Really?"

"Otherwise, what am I talking nonsense for nothing!"

The two daughters-in-law walked away carrying their own bamboo baskets while talking one sentence at a time.

The Li family who heard their conversation paused for a moment, and then they all looked at Li Fuyue with a questioning look in their eyes: Is this the savior who sent you back?
Li Fuyue nodded her head obediently: That's right!
When Li Fuyue said this again last night, she had already mentioned that the savior seemed to be not an ordinary person, but they were immersed in the surprise and joy that Li Fuyue ran back, as if they were obedient, but there was no such surprise feel.

As a result, after hearing the gossip of these two women today, they had a sense of reality that they had indirect dealings with important people. They were rich and powerful people, rich people who could afford to eat a hundred and one thousand buns for a meal , the Li family was so startled that they even slowed down a bit when they ate.

Li Shan went to ask Li Fuyue: "Fuya, what's it like to be with that big man? How does he look different from ordinary people like us?"

If there is a difference, it is probably because the young boy looks super good-looking?
But how can you say this to the elders.

Li Fuyue pretended to be thinking hard, faced the eager eyes of several elders, and finally said against her will: "It seems that there is not much difference."

Li Shan, Li Hai, and old man Li looked even more eagerly.

Does this mean that if his son can pass the imperial examination, wouldn't he be able to live a wealthy life?

Li Shan remembered that his eldest son, Li Maocai, was 12 years old, and it was a good time for him to study. He had to make arrangements to call him Shuxiu when he returned home.

Li Hai also thought of his youngest son, Li Maojiang, who was three years old. He was a little too young, but he had to start studying from a baby!Besides, he can still read a few words, which is more than enough to enlighten his youngest son!

And Old Man Li glanced at his youngest son, Li Hai.This guy studied for a few years when he was a child, but he cried and quarreled and refused to go. It seems that it is time to urge him to make up for his old books.

He is already at this age, if he just depends on waiting for his grandson to become a talent, then there is still a fart of blessings to enjoy!
Therefore, under the stimulation of the savior who came from a wealthy background, the Li family became more active. Of course, this is actively urging others to make progress.
