The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 44: Fragments of Life
Ever since old man Li had a calf, he took the cow out for a walk every day.The calf also seems to recognize people, and has a docile temper towards old man Li. When old man Li goes to feed it fodder, he will moo happily twice. Jet, I was so angry with Li Mingmei that she never wanted to go to the bullpen again.

Old man Li cared more about taking care of the cow than those children.Even the cowshed is better than the pigsty.Li Mingmei was jealous of those pigs.

The little chickens at home have grown up a lot during this time. When they were just caught, the little chickens seemed to have escaped from the arms of the old mother suddenly. scurrying around.

Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to find a young stepmother for the little chickens and bring them back. The little chickens now have a backbone, and they no longer run around every day.And the old hen that was left at home was also killed by Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan is looking at the chickens in this brood at the moment, um~ wait for these chicks to grow for a while, and the hen can also take a hot bath.

Old man Li and Li Mingli are now going down to the fields every day to look at the wheat. Old man Li is now worried that the grouting has not been done well this year, and it rained during Qingming, so there was a wave of wheat.Although some protective measures have been taken, there is still no way to avoid the reduction of wheat production.

"Father, go back first!" Li Mingli called Old Man Li.

"Hey, let's go, I'm afraid there won't be anything left after the wheat is harvested this year and the tax is paid." Old man Li said as he walked ahead with a hoe on his shoulder.

Li Mingli: "Fortunately, the family now has a business, and they can also subsidize some household expenses."

Old man Li can only be comforted in this way.Although the family does not have to worry about paying taxes now, after all there is not enough food and money can be used to make up for it, but the farmer understands the pain. After working hard for more than half a year, the result is that the food harvest failed due to some force majeure due to the weather. It is really a pity.

When the two returned home, Zhao Yunlan said, "Father, when will the wheat in the field be harvested?"

"Let's wait a few more days," Old Man Li replied, thinking of going for a walk with the cows.

Zhao Yunlan watched Old Man Li go to the backyard: "Then I'll go to the town tomorrow to lie down and talk to my second brother."

"Yeah!" Old man Li led the cow out of the door.

Zhao Yunlan also taught Xiaobao to read.Zhao Yunlan was busy with the shop in the town before, and Zhao Yunlan couldn't read for several days.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Xiaobao and scratched it on the ground with a charcoal, thinking it was cute, but the next second the charcoal was scratched on the body.

Zhao Yunlan's Hedong Lion roared: "Li Xiaobao, stop and wash your own clothes."

Xiao Bao was still cheerful: "Wash the clothes."

Zhao Yunlan supported her forehead for a while.

On the second day, Zhao Yunlan went to the town shop after breakfast.Seeing that Li Mingyi and Li Mingzhi didn't stop to rest, they had no choice but to go forward to help.

With the addition of Zhao Yunlan, the two of them became much more relaxed.

Li Mingyi was cleaning the pot, and Li Mingzhi put up a sign saying he was closed.

Zhao Yunlan: "Second brother, why don't you recruit another junior, the two of you are too busy."

Li Mingyi: "No need, sister-in-law, there are only more customers in the store now when there are markets, usually two people are enough. My brother and I cooperate very well now, and I will tell my sister-in-law if I am too busy later. "

Zhao Yunlan also nodded to show that she understands, since this store is entrusted to Li Mingyi to take care of, then she should not worry too much, otherwise the Li family will have to ask about everything by herself, and everyone will never grow up.

I just wanted to send Li Mingzhi to study too, hey, wait a little longer!
"Second brother, when the family harvested wheat, the two of you closed the shop and came back to help." Zhao Yunlan said.

Li Mingyi replied: "Well, sister-in-law, we know."

Zhao Yunlan: "Then I'll go to the Cloth Village to have a look and then go back. You two should go to bed early after packing up, and then you can buy whatever you want to eat in town. Don't lose your health."

Zhao Yunlan couldn't bear to see Li Mingzhi, a child who helped the family work at a young age!
As soon as Zhao Yunlan arrived at Buzhuang, she met shopkeeper Wu hurriedly leaving the house.

Zhao Yunlan called to shopkeeper Wu: "Where are you going in such a hurry? Shopkeeper Wu."

Shopkeeper Wu: "Miss Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Hey, the head flowers you sent this month are very popular. I just received a big order from a merchant from the north. I ordered a batch of hair flowers. Isn't this to see how the flowers are made over there! They are urging for it."

Zhao Yunlan: "Then shopkeeper, go and have a look, I won't delay you, let's talk next time."

Shopkeeper Wu: "Hey, I'll go first."

Zhao Yunlan originally wanted to ask how the first flower was going this time, but now it seems that the situation is not bad.

Zhao Yunlan went to buy a fish, some pieces of tofu, and went back with a pig's ear.

For dinner, Zhao Yunlan made a tofu stewed fish soup, cold pig ears, and some fried vegetables.

Old man Li couldn't help drinking. This was the first time Zhao Yunlan came here to watch Old Man Li drink.

In the past, the family was poor, even if old man Li liked to drink, he would not say anything. Today, it was this cold dish of pig's ears that aroused old man Li's desire to drink.Old man Li had stored the wine in the gourd for a long time, and he was not willing to take it out to drink even during Chinese New Year.

Now Zhao Yunlan has resumed the habit of waking up early and exercising. After breakfast, after finishing her homework, she takes Xiaobao Li Mingmei to study together.Now it's time to prepare for the busy farming season. The people in the family are fed with good food, and the calf is also served with good food and water.Although old man Li loves Mavericks dearly and doesn't let Mavericks pull goods and people, but when the farming season is busy, the family is short of staff, so he still has to let the Mavericks do their best.

Li Mingren didn't come back during this time, Zhao Yunlan didn't know how long this shrinking turtle would be, but Zhao Yunlan was happy if this man didn't come back.You should go up the mountain every day, and you should take care of your baby.

On the contrary, Zhao Yunlan has been thinking about taking Wang Shi to see a doctor, but Wang Shi has been refusing.It was impossible for Zhao Yunlan to tie him up and send him away, so he could only whisper in Wang's ear every day.

Mrs. Wang finally nodded, but said that she would wait until the busy farming season was over before going.The two took a step back each, finally Wang didn't have to listen to Zhao Yunlan whispering in her ears every day, and Zhao Yunlan didn't have to repeat the same words every day.

This month, Zhao Yunlan's head flower share was 36 taels, and Li Ji's hot and sour noodles also earned 18 taels. Originally, there were 26 taels, but it rained continuously during the Qingming Festival, and the roof was still leaking. Zhao Yunlan shouted Li Mingyi invited someone to relay the tiles and replace the old tiles again, which cost a few taels of silver.Moreover, there was no serious signboard when it opened, so Zhao Yunlan went to customize a signboard and hang it up.

Zhao Yunlan reported this month's income, and Wang said, "This flower business was originally facilitated by you, and this share is your own private money."

Zhao Yunlan was slightly surprised by Wang's decision and then moved, "Mother, I am also a member of this family, and I have to build a house for the family!"

Wang: "It stands to reason that the hot and sour noodles should also be yours, but the conditions at home are also selfish. I just say that this is a waste of money. As a mother-in-law, I must not know how to measure it. The house is not in a hurry. Wait for the shop. Saving income for a few more months."

Zhao Yunlan: "That's it, mother. This month's share is still counted in it. I want to live in a new house early! Hehe! After next month, the first share will be mine, and then I will give [-]% to my family, Li Ji Hot and sour noodles are counted as the family’s property, and no matter who in the family has other income, [-]% of the income will be handed over to the family.”

Wang thought for a while: "Well, then only give [-]% to the family, that's it."

Zhao Yunlan didn't refute anymore, who doesn't like money in their own hands.After thinking about it, he said, "I'll share [-]% of the first flower business with my younger sister. After all, my younger sister is also helping me."

Li Mingmei: "Sister-in-law, I don't want it, I'm not helping, I'm just learning from you."

"I'll share it if I say it. Could it be that the younger sister is afraid to take it because she wants to pay her husband." Zhao Yunlan joked.

Li Mingmei blushed and shook her head.

Zhao Yunlan: "Then I'll make a new account book to record the public's expenses."

Wang nodded in response.
