Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 379
Rao Shouli was so angry that the veins on his forehead burst out: "Oh, how polite are you? Are you all blind if you want firewood and no water at home? Or are you waiting for me, an old bone, to go to the mountain to chop firewood? Carrying water at the entrance of the village?!"

Chang Sheng hurriedly said: "No, Daddy..."

Rao Shouli interrupted him: "It's okay, go to the next door to borrow a small bundle of firewood, cook breakfast quickly, and go to the mountain to collect firewood!"

"Ah? You want to go up the mountain to collect firewood?" Chang Sheng was surprised. He had never done this kind of thing before!

Rao Shouli glared at him: "It's just collecting firewood, not chopping firewood. Why are you acting like this? Back then, when Da Ya Erya was as old as Ronghua, why didn't you suffer? You just went to collect firewood. Look at you, how old are you? You can’t be inferior to a six or seven-year-old girl’s house, right? There’s no need to discuss this matter. I live at the foot of the mountain, so I have to go all the way to the market to buy firewood. ?!"

Changsheng: "Father, many people in this village burn coal! Our family can also buy coal to burn!"

Rao Shouli rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "Buy coal? Do you have any money? Anyway, I don't have much money on hand, so I have to save it to buy rice and cloth. I don't have any money to buy coal! If you give me money, I will I am not opposed to buying coal for burning!"

The smile on Chang Sheng's face cracked: "Daddy, I don't have any money."

Rao Shouli: "Isn't that enough? No money, and so much nonsense! Hurry up, this winter is coming, if you don't hurry up and go up the mountain to collect firewood, you will starve and freeze in winter!"

Changsheng had no choice but to agree.

After a simple breakfast, the whole family, except for the smallest pearl, took their tools and headed up the mountain.Seven-year-old Ronghua and ten-year-old Rongfu each carried a bamboo basket, intending to go to the mountain to pick up pine cones.Pine cones can also be used for cooking and are a great fuel.

Rao Shouli, Changsheng, and Qian Shi all carried a shoulder pole with a few hemp ropes tied to it.A family of five, under the surprised eyes of the villagers, went to the forest ten miles away to collect firewood.

Closing mountains for afforestation means that felling is not allowed at will, but it is still allowed to collect dry firewood.It is also possible to cut thatch and pick wild fruits.If you encounter a whole dry tree, you can also cut it back home.

The dry branches in the nearby forest had already been picked up very cleanly, so I had no choice but to go a little farther to pick them up.The five of them were exhausted before reaching their destination, especially Chang Sheng, who was even inferior to Rao Shouli.

In the evening, when the villagers saw the firewood picked up by the family, they couldn't help but laughed.

The firewood that Rao Shouli, Changsheng, and Qian picked each weighed more than ten catties, which was pitifully small. Those teenagers in the village went up the mountain to collect firewood, and they brought back much more firewood than these three.After walking such a long way to collect firewood, even for a teenager, each bundle of firewood must weigh at least 20 catties, right?

However, this family is so useless!
On the same day, this incident spread throughout the mountain village, and it became a joke for the villagers to have fun after dinner.

In the days that followed, the weather was always good, so Rao Shouli escorted Changsheng, Qianshi and Rongfu to collect firewood on the mountain every day.Ronghua was young and sensible, so Rao Shouli asked him to go there every two days.When not going, let him take his five-year-old sister Pearl, and teach Pearl to be a good person.

In other words, Zhuzhu is only five years old, if she is properly guided, she can still be straightened.This baby is only five years old, so she is a bit arrogant and lazy, all influenced by her shameless parents.

During this time, Qian Shi and Chang Sheng were as tired as dogs, and they didn't have the energy to take care of Pearl at all.Pearl stays with Ronghua all day long, eating and sleeping together. Under Ronghua's conscious or unconscious guidance, her arrogant and lazy personality has changed a lot.

After all, this can be considered to have experienced a great change in the family, and the impact on this child is still quite large.Suffering, sometimes the best wealth, can make a person grow up quickly.

The days of picking up firewood like this lasted for ten days, and Rao Shouli finally showed mercy: "Okay, I have picked up a lot of firewood, and I have a day off tomorrow."

Changsheng sat paralyzed on the ground and cried out: "Huh? Only one day off? Can you rest for three days before going?"

Rao Shouli glared at him: "Just one day, not even one more day! If you look like mud that can't support the wall, I'll see if I don't kick you out of the house and let you show up on the streets!"

As soon as these words came out, Chang Sheng was immediately frightened.

Drive out of the house?It's going to be the twelfth lunar month soon, isn't that courting death?Although I have to collect firewood every day, at least I still have a bite to eat when I get home, and I still have a green brick house to live in.If they were kicked out, they would have no way to survive and could only be beggars!

After hearing this, Qian Shi, who wanted to complain, also quickly shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say anything.The body that slumped on the chair immediately sat up straight, and put on a look of "I have no objection".

Even the ten-year-old Rong Fu was taken aback by his grandfather, and had to swallow the words abruptly.

Alas, although it is a bit bitter to go up the mountain to collect firewood, it is not as happy as wandering around.However, it's better to go and beg for food!Besides, after going to the ten-day mountain to collect firewood, that is to say, I was a little tired from walking, which was far less bitter than I imagined.On the contrary, you can also pick some delicious wild fruits, and occasionally you can catch a pheasant and a hare.This kind of life has never been tried before, but in fact, it can still survive.

There was no other way. After resting at home for a day, the family of three was escorted by Rao Shouli to collect firewood on the mountain.The bundles of firewood that I picked home were getting larger day by day, from the initial weight of more than ten catties to more than 20 catties and more than 30 catties.

On this day, when the sun was about to set, the three of them carried firewood to the entrance of the village, and someone in the village laughed teasingly: "Oh, this firewood probably weighs more than 30 catties in a bundle, right? Well, that's a bit more decent!" If it’s only over ten catties, if people in other villages find out, I’m afraid they will laugh at our Shanqian Village!”

"Hahahahaha!" The surrounding villagers couldn't help laughing loudly after hearing this.

Rao Shouli blushed, and walked quickly towards the house.

In other words, the previous bundle of firewood was only more than ten catties, including him.Alas, who told him that he never did farm work since he was a child, and he is now in his fifties. It is actually quite remarkable to be able to walk such a long way to collect firewood!If it wasn't for the fact that his family was so poor, and Chang Sheng, Qian Shi, and Rong Fu were so disgraceful, he wouldn't have the willpower to take them to the mountains to collect firewood!
When grandparents heard about it, they couldn't help wiping their tears.

This son, they put in the most painstaking efforts, and even several other sons once worked together to earn money to support this son, his wife and children.However, it was this son who chilled them the most, the eldest and fifth child the most.

That's not right, there is also the family of the third child, which also makes them very chilling.For the eldest family, it is good to have a rich family, and a rich wife and children are also good.Changsheng's youngest son, Ronghua, is also good.However, in the family of the third child, big and small, one counts as the other, they are all lazy, greedy and selfish, and none of them is a good person!

As for the fourth child's family, it was not bad at first, but because the second and third child's families were too bad, the fourth child's family felt very unbalanced.Gradually, the family also became selfish.However, this family is also diligent and treats their little family very well.The only thing that went too far was that when Da Ya's family encountered a huge crisis, they followed the second and third families to sever ties with Da Ya's family together!

Otherwise, when the boss and the fifth family are developed, the fourth family will not have the face to get close to the boss and the fifth family!Speaking of it, it is ironic and tragic!In the academy run by Da Ya, the fourth oldest family obviously has children of the right age, but they don't have the face to send them to Guangming Academy.

This is all retribution, if you plant melons, you will reap melons, if you sow beans, you will reap beans, there is no reason to sow what kind of fruit.If the old four families had treated the eldest and the five families a little better back then, they wouldn't be ashamed to take advantage of it today, or in other words, they are not qualified to do so!
Look at her big girl, she is now a majestic princess, and she is very capable. The farm, honeysuckle mountain, pastry workshop, taste building, kiln factory, Xiaoqinghe oasis, and now there is another fruit supply farm!
Because of her, through their own efforts, Xiangdong and Yuwu became the fourth-rank generals.Both Yunshan and Xiangxi have accomplished a lot in officialdom.There are also Erya and Shancha, who are also living a very good life.Even the most down-and-out vanilla has lived a decent life with the help and support of the big girl, Shancha and Erya these years.

The old four's life is not bad, but compared with Erya Shancha, compared with Daya's grandma's house, Chunlai's, and Gu Yu's house, it is still far behind.Mrs. Pan really felt that the old four families did what they did.Back then, if I hadn't done it, I wouldn't have been so aggrieved.

In the eyes of most villagers in Shanqian Village, the fourth family is so ruthless to their brothers that they are not worthy of association.No one in the village wants to get close to his children.This kind of day is not very aggrieved!
Daya has become the nobleman, benefactor, and most proud person of Shanqian Village. Xiangxi, Xiangdong, and Yunwu Yunshan are also the pride of Shanqian Village.When mentioning these people, everyone in the village would give their thumbs up.However, Rao's fourth family would be very embarrassed, very embarrassing.

The more capable Da Ya is, the more embarrassing the situation for Rao's fourth family.

Why don't you feel aggrieved in this kind of day?If it hadn't happened that Rao Lao Er and Rao Lao San's family were expelled, Rao Lao Si would be so aggrieved that he would vomit blood or hit a wall!
Even so, the fourth son's sons and daughters still complained to their parents.

The eldest son of Rao Laosi complained: "Back then, if my parents hadn't been so cruel to Uncle Wu's family, our family would have been wiped out long ago, and my family must have a share of the kiln factory. And the orchard, We can definitely go to the orchard to be a manager or something, and our children can definitely go to Guangming Academy!"

The second son also complained: "Both parents have shallow eyelids, and they treat their brothers the same way. Otherwise, whether it is Da Ya or Yunshan Xiangxi, or Xiangdong and Yunwu, they all have the ability to support our family." Whether it's taking the imperial examination or joining the army, they will definitely have a bright future! Now it's so good, I don't even have the face to go to Guangming Academy!"

The eldest daughter also complained: "I don't have any face in my in-law's house. My mother-in-law scolded me, saying that there is a cousin who is a princess in my house, but I can't get any benefits! She also said that my parents were ruthless and ungrateful, otherwise , my mother-in-law's family can also be honored. Now it's a good thing, there is no glory for my family!
The children of my in-law's family wanted to go to Guangming Academy, but after investigation, they found out that my in-law's family and my family were in-laws, so they didn't accept them at all!For this reason, my mother-in-law has to torture me every day, and my sisters-in-law are like enemies when they see me! "

The other sons and daughters were also full of complaints. After all, they all complained about Rao and his wife.The two people were so depressed that they were almost suffocated into internal injuries!

By the way, are they easy?Back then, the reason why we followed the second and third families and severed ties with the eldest and fifth families was not for the sake of our children?It's good now, and I'm all complaining!
