Chapter 136

In fact, it's no wonder Xu Lele couldn't recognize them. She didn't know how many times these dishes had been collected in the space.

Fortunately, the vegetables harvested in the space will not rot no matter how long they are stored, otherwise she would be really distressed.

In the middle of the afternoon, guessing that the sun was about to pass, Xu Lele, who had drawn the picture, called Mrs. Li to help her cover the seedlings with cloth again.

I hope they will grow up soon, whether it is for money or to eat at home.

After finishing the work, Xu Lele was about to enter the house and continue painting when she heard Mrs. Sun and her daughters-in-law discussing to send some food to the field, so she hurriedly went ahead to refill the water tank in the kitchen with some spirit spring water.

As soon as he came out, he met Li Shi who came in to fill the water. Li Shi saw her and asked casually.

"Aren't you going into the house, why are you running to the kitchen again?"

Xu Lele raised the charcoal pencil in his hand, Li Shi understood.

"Oh, you came to look for a pen, then don't go today, don't delay Mrs. Xie's affairs."

Thinking about it, I couldn't be of much help anyway, and seeing those officials were disgusting, Xu Lele nodded in agreement.

"Okay, mother, you go and come back early."

When Mrs. Li and the others came back with the good things, it was just dark, but Mrs. Sun had already asked Mrs. Chen to prepare dinner.

Anyway, the men don't come back until midnight, so it's better to eat early and go into the house.

"Hey, the autumn harvest usually takes at least six or seven days. It's the first time I've seen someone force people to collect grain like this..."

Sun's face was full of sorrow, and she was very worried about her old man's health.

Li, who was called by Sun to talk in the room, sighed softly, "On my way back, the grain piles have risen, and most of the fields have harvested..."

"It's better to collect it as soon as possible. It's really a crime." Sun's scalp tingled when he thought of the vicious official begging for money, and shook his head, "I don't know how much we can leave this time..."

"This... shouldn't be fooling around..."

There is a fixed amount of public grain handed over. Even if the annual harvest is not good and the tax is higher, it is not impossible to leave nothing to the farmers.

But even though Li Shi was persuading her so much, she actually had no confidence at all in her heart, especially after remembering that her father and brothers said that only one of them distributed a brown rice steamed bun at noon, her words became even less confident.

Xu Lele took advantage of the last light before the sunset to finish the painting in hand.

This time she drew the beautiful goat and the happy goat holding hands. Of course, she did not forget to make some modifications according to the aesthetics of the ancients, and finished the last stroke before dark.

Today should be the last day of grain collection, and the Li family didn't sleep well for three consecutive days. Fortunately, except for collecting [-] cash on the first day, they restrained themselves better in the next two days.

They only accepted a hundred cash per person, presumably because they were afraid that something would happen if they would annoy the villagers, and they would have to walk around without food.

After tidying up the pens and paper on the broken table, Xu Lele hummed a ditty and went to help in the kitchen. I heard that Mr. Li and the others can go home early today, so they have survived this terrible day.

Mrs. Chen is frying Chinese cabbage. The pot is full. It is more suitable to say that it is fried rather than boiled. I put a little bit of lard that I saved before, and the smell is not bad.

But Xu Lele frowned. It's Chinese cabbage again. Even if Chen's craftsmanship is good, it's vinegary and braised, but I'm tired of eating it like this every day.

Seeing Xu Lele come in, Mrs. Chen took the time to say: "It's just right, help me heat that big bowl."

Before Xu Lele could do anything, Mrs. Li, who was looking at the big pot of rice, got up to help Mrs. Chen get the bowl, and asked casually, "Did you finish the painting?"

Xu Lele hummed, scanned the stove and saw that there was no meat dish on it, she still couldn't help but say: "Mom, why is there no meat dish..."
