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

Chapter 55 Home Improvement 2
It was the first time for Li Mingren to write the homework assigned by his wife, and he thought it was a bit novel.

After I wrote down my feelings, I found that the number of words was not enough, thinking that Zhao Yunlan would not be so serious about counting the words, so I said to Zhao Yunlan: "My lady, I have finished writing this experience."

Zhao Yunlan took it back and glanced at it. You don't have enough words, so write it again. If you can't finish writing, you won't be allowed to eat. "

Li Mingren was dumbfounded, didn't he know it wasn't enough even after counting it?There was a lot of doubt in my head, and I didn't dare to ask it out.At this moment, I just feel that my wife and Mr. Xuetang are reunited, and I only need to hold a ruler in my hand.

Now Zhao Yunlan has found the feeling of being a teacher in the past. As for the word count issue, she has practiced this skill before. Besides, Li Mingren's typesetting is fairly neat, and he can get an approximate word count with a little estimation.

Li Mingren had no choice but to go back and squat down to think about it. It was the first time he realized why it was so difficult to write an article.

Zhao Yunlan shouted: "Dinner is ready!" Everyone entered the main room and sat at the table to prepare to eat.

Xiaobao kindly encouraged Li Mingren: "Father, hurry up and finish writing, there will be a big pig's hoof to chew on tonight." Zhao Yunlan laughed from the side.

Li Mingli also said: "Brother, the fish soup my sister-in-law made tonight is very fragrant!"

Li Mingren roared in his heart: "Can't I smell it myself? I want you to tell me. Hey~

Wang originally wanted to say a few words, but seeing that Zhao Yunlan was only concentrating on taking care of Xiaobao and didn't take a second look outside, she stopped thinking about it.

Old man Li said beside him: "Boss daughter-in-law, let the boss eat first."

Zhao Yunlan raised his eyes and looked at Li Mingren, "Father, there were so many opportunities to come back to have a happy meal with the family, and each of them went and begged and yelled and didn't come back. Dad, don't worry about it when you are old, pig If you don't eat the hoof, Xiao Baoke will finish eating it."

The next family did not speak for Li Mingren anymore.

When Li Mingren heard Zhao Yunlan's words in the courtyard, he felt his face burn.

After Li Mingren finished writing, and the main room was almost full for dinner, there was only some soup base left, so Zhao Yunlan allowed Li Mingren to sit down and eat.

"There's nothing left, I'll make another one for my brother!" Li Mingmei stood up.

Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, no need, this is enough for your eldest brother. Younger sister, let's make medicine for mother. The third brother takes dad back to the room to check the wound and apply medicine."

Zhao Yunlan hugged Xiaobao and got up and went out: "I'll take Xiaobao to digest food. My husband washed the bowl after dinner. Be careful when washing, don't break it. If a bowl is missing, someone will be useless tomorrow." , The dirty place on the stove should also be cleaned up. Hey, I'll come back and check."

Xiaobao also followed suit: "I'll come back and check!"

One big and one small holding hands and strolling along the path in the field, for a while Xiao Bao squatted down to watch the ants, and for a while the butterflies flew by Xiao Bao and wanted to catch them again, Zhao Yunlan was enjoying the evening breeze at this moment.

In the Li family, Li Mingmei was watching Li Mingren in a hurry to wash the dishes. Some places were not oily. She wanted to help Li Mingren wash the dishes, but Li Mingren firmly refused.

"Little sister, I can just clean this bowl myself, you can check it for me next to me to see if there is anything that hasn't been cleaned."

Li Mingmei: "Brother, then I'll just say it!"

Li Mingren: "Hurry up and talk, I can wash it again if it's not clean."

Li Mingmei: "Brother, you should wash it again!"

Li Mingren: "Ah, didn't you wash it clean?"

Zhao Yunlan had already returned from a stroll, and when she heard the two talking in the kitchen, she came over to have a look.

"Have you finished washing for so long?" Zhao Yunlan asked suspiciously.

Li Mingren: "My lady, I asked my little sister to check it for me, and I will wash it again."

Zhao Yunlan looked at those bowls and became angry: "Did you read until your eyes couldn't see clearly, or did you have a problem with the hand feel? There is a layer of oil on those bowls, can't you see it or touch it?"

"My lady, I..."

Zhao Yunlan didn't care about the dishwashing anymore, and left gracefully after giving Li Mingren a blow.

Li Mingmei said: "Brother, these oily bowls can be rubbed with plant ash first, then washed with warm water, and finally rinsed with clean water. Since my sister-in-law has been in charge of the kitchen, what is it called, um, I pay more attention to hygiene. .”

Li Mingren: "Health?"

Li Mingmei: "Well, it means to pay attention to cleanliness! Brother, don't dawdle, this water is wasted, you still have to fetch water." After saying that, he patted his clothes and left.

Only Zhao Yunlan's voice came again: "Bring more water, the weather is hot, and the whole family has to take a bath at night. You are also in charge of boiling water, just learn more about fire, and the pot must be cleaned before boiling water .”

Zhao Yunlan is in a good mood now, and she pulls Xiaobao to read the Thousand Characters Essay.

Li Mingren was quite uncomfortable at first. He could be hit by everything at home. Suddenly he heard the sound of Zhao Yunlan and Xiaobao reading aloud, and the sense of frustration gradually disappeared. A thousand characters come.

Hearing the sound from the kitchen, Zhao Yunlan could only shake her head and smile.

Li Mingren spends every day doing various housework. He is busy from morning to night, which greatly reduces the workload of Li Mingli and Li Mingmei. Li Mingli has more time to go to the mountains to find wild mushrooms. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter , the rain has also increased, and Li Mingli can pick up a basket every day.If the family couldn't finish it, Li Mingli could still sell it in the town.

When Li Mingli handed over the money to Zhao Yunlan, he remembered one thing, and called Li Mingren: "When you were studying, didn't you help copy books to make money to support your family?"

Li Mingren lowered his head: "I used to think that copying books would take too much time, so..."

Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, I understand. From now on, if you have nothing to do at home, go to the town to get a job of copying books. Pay [-]% of the money for copying books to the family, and leave the rest to me. I will take care of it. After studying for so many years, if you don’t get any fame, you should make up for it elsewhere! Ah, right!”

Li Mingren responded one by one, not daring to refute.

Li Mingli was listening, thinking that the elder brother would be different if he had a wife, even the money had to be handed over to the elder sister-in-law.Touching the money in his arms, it's better now, he can buy whatever he wants with the money.

So now Li Mingren, in addition to doing all kinds of work arranged by Zhao Yunlan, also takes time to copy books.

Li Mingren took a copy of "Thousand Characters" and copied it. This book is simple. After all, it is the first time for Li Mingren to copy a book. The shopkeeper of the bookstore is not very clear about his strength. Generally, the shopkeepers of bookstores are familiar with it. The student took the job of copying books, but it was Li Mingren who refused to leave, so the boss had no choice but to give him a chance.

Fortunately, Li Mingren's handwriting is not bad, it took Li Mingren six days to finish copying this "Thousand Characters".

"Shopkeeper, I have finished copying the book, please check it." Li Mingren was handing over work in the bookstore.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore: "The handwriting is neat and tidy, which is not bad, but the time is a day late."

Li Mingren wiped his sweat: "Yes, yes, this is my problem, please let the shopkeeper continue to let me take over the work."

The shopkeeper took the money, and took out another stack of papers, "This is 25 Wen, please keep it. I withheld [-] Wen because I missed the deadline we set for handing in the book. Take this "Analects" back and copy it. The second time I asked to write down the notes, it was still the old rule, and the handwriting was neat and clear. It took two months, and I sent it over as soon as I finished copying."

Li Mingren said gratefully: "Okay, thank you shopkeeper."
