The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 17
Waking up early in the morning, Mrs. Li was a little excited.After breakfast, wearing new clothes made of the cloth Tang Dai bought for her, she asked the little girl with red eyes what to bring to Li's Village?

After living in Li Zhuang's family for three years and returning to Tangjia Village, she didn't go back to her natal family much.One is that the child is young and there is no time to go, and the other is that the family is poor. Every time her sisters go back to her natal home to buy clothes and food for her parents, she can only watch and secretly wipe her tears.What's more, I am so poor that I have to help my mother's family. I come and go again and again. I really can't live on, so I won't go.

Grandma Tang Dai gave birth to seven children, four boys and three girls.Mrs. Li is the third eldest, with two elder brothers on top, two younger brothers on the bottom, and two younger sisters.Grandma was born hard, and it was hard to raise her too!
"Mother, I went to pay back the money this time. I borrowed seven taels for illness. How much did I borrow before?" Seeing Li's appearance, Tang Dai felt sore.

"There are still three taels that I borrowed before, and there are ten taels in total."

"Now the origin of the money is well known, let's pay back the ten taels. For the others, take more tofu and bean sprouts. Grandma has a lot of family members, so I can finish them all. Last time the shopkeeper Ouyang of the restaurant gave me the snacks, so I'm not willing to eat them. Take them to me." Grandma will eat. Grandpa will make him a few catties of good wine." Tang Dai intends to get more, but her family is just starting up and she needs to build a house, so she can't reveal her wealth too much.

"Well, it's going to be a long time in the future, and that's fine." Mrs. Li obviously thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

He went to Osmanthus's house to borrow an ox cart. Tang hoped that the ox cart had been harnessed and was about to go to another village to collect soybeans.Hearing that Mrs. Li said to borrow a car to go to Lijiazhuang, she gave it to Mrs. Li, saying that she just had a day off at home.

Mrs. Li drove back home, packed up the money for food and went to Lijiazhuang with Tang Dai and Tang Jue.Tang Feng didn't feel better because of the wind and cold, so he didn't go.The door curtain in Tang Hua's hand was only a day away from embroidering, so he rushed to get the money back so that he could return the money from the ancestral house, and then he felt pure and said that he would go later.

On the way, I went to the place where the wine was sold, bought some wine, and continued on my way.The sun was shining brightly, but there was no wind. Even though it was late autumn, it was still warm on her body. Tang Dai squinted her eyes comfortably, and she was in a good mood.

The crops in the field have all been harvested, and it looks a bit empty.There were flocks of crows scattered on the trees, on the roadside, and in the fields, making such a noise that Tang felt annoyed. She wanted to jump off the bullock cart to pick up stones, but Tang Dai held her down and told him, "The lamb kneels and sucks, and the crow feeds back." s story.

Tang Jue is talented and intelligent, Qian Jiawen can be understood faster than Tang Feng.But because his father passed away early and he was approaching the rebellious period, the children always have playful moments. Recently, when they are busy, they will contradict Mrs. Li.Tang Dai noticed the signs, and wanted to talk about this third brother for a long time, and today happened to be this opportunity to break up.

After listening to the story, Tang Jue buried his head in thought for a long time, then told Tang Dai with a guilty face that he understood.It's good to understand, Tang Dai heaved a sigh of relief!Li, who was driving the car, wiped his tears with his sleeve.

After driving for half an hour, we arrived at Lijiazhuang.Everyone he knew greeted everyone, and Mrs. Li also called out to people with a smile. Happy Tofu became famous, and everyone in Lijiazhuang knew that it was invented by the little girl of Li Lan’s family.Li's maiden name in her natal family was Li Lan.

"It's your grandpa's house!" Mrs. Li said to Tang Dai, looking at a small adobe house in front of her.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, Grandma Tang Dai came out to meet her, followed by her family.

"Just now I was talking about going to your house to see it. It has been spread in the village and town that the happy tofu is made by chicks. May I ask what's going on?" Grandma Tang Dai held Tang Dai with one hand and Tang Jue with the other.

"Mother, go into the room first, and then I'll talk to you slowly." Li looked at his mother and said.

Move things into the house and put them on the table.Looking at the table full of things, someone's vision changed a little, this is the first time in many years!It would have been nice not to take it back from here before.The smile on Tang Dai's grandmother's face deepened, and the life of the eldest daughter's family began to get better.

The whole family sat down, a room full of adults and children.Big family, big family!Sitting there, Tang Dai shook her little head and sighed humorously in her heart.

Sitting down, Mrs. Li told Tang Dai that because her family was poor and she was enlightened by a Bodhisattva in her dream, she figured out tofu and bean sprouts. She probably told her family about half-truths and half-truths about selling tofu in a restaurant in the county. Pay ten taels of silver to pay off the debt.These are all discussed at home, what can be said can be said, and what cannot be said still cannot be said.

Everyone sighed after hearing this, and Grandma Tang Dai was so happy and relieved that she called Bodhisattva!Tang Dai told everyone about the purpose of her visit this time, and she planned to teach the bean sprouts to grandma's house and how to build a house.Tang Dai's grandma and grandpa felt that their daughter's family finally got such a good livelihood, so they declined.

"Grandpa, my family is short of manpower right now, and we can't keep up with the tofu making. My elder brother is busy and sick, and the family is planning to hire someone to do it. The bean sprouts business was discussed with my mother. These I have been taken care of by my grandfather and uncles for a year, without you we would not have our family now, and now we have the opportunity to repay you, so don't delay." Tang Dai was unreserved, and pointed out why she made bean sprouts for them.

Just because grandparents don't care about their rewards doesn't mean that others can selflessly think like them.

"Since the little girl's words are for this sake, grandpa can't take away your kindness. Let's make bean sprouts next." Grandpa Tang Dai is also a smart old man, so he understood Tang Dai's meaning.

A person's heart can't tell clearly, he can't ask his son and daughter-in-law to take care of his daughter's family like he and his wife do, without any selfishness.

It is good to repay kindness if you have kindness.Looking at the current appearance of my little granddaughter, and having been enlightened by the Bodhisattva, she will have great blessings in the future, so as not to change people's hearts at that time, and to repay bad things with kindness.

"My family is going to buy the place where we live now and build a house. My mother and I have no experience in building a house. The most important thing is that we don't worry about other people, so I want to ask my uncles to take care of it." Seeing her grandfather, Tang Dai agreed After that, the topic turned to the matter of building a house.

"Let your third uncle go. He also helps people build houses outside. He knows people and probably knows the price of materials, so he can't be deceived. When are you going to do it?" Seeing that Tang Dai trusted her family so much, Grandpa Tang Dai thought in his heart Also happy.

"Grandpa, I think the sooner the better, I want to be able to live in the house in time for the twelfth lunar month. I'm really worried that the broken thatched house at home will collapse under the snow." Tang Dai wrinkled her nose and shrugged her shoulders as she spoke. Looks like he's scared.

Everyone looked at her and laughed.Mrs. Li also smiled and scolded her little housekeeper, she knew how to worry more than she did, and she never saw the house collapsed when it snowed in previous years!

"I'm a little nervous about moving into the house in the twelfth lunar month. I'll go and find out for you tomorrow. You need to have a plan for how big and how much you want to build." Third Uncle Tang Dai was a little anxious for Tang Dai when he heard that the time was so tight.

"Third Uncle, after you inquire about the construction team for me, bring them to my house, and I will discuss them in detail. My request is to be able to read drawings. The wages are forty Wen a day, not including food and drink." Tang Dai thought that her thatched hut was small and she was making tofu, so she couldn't open the fire, so she didn't serve food and drink.She has already drawn the blueprint for building the house, which is a scaled-down version of the layout of a modern home.

"Okay, I will find someone as soon as possible according to your request. But isn't [-] Wen a day too much? Normally, it's best to only have [-] Wen a day."

"So I have to trouble the third uncle to tell them clearly that the expensive is worth the money, and the money needs to live well. Moreover, I am in a hurry and need to rush to work. It is best to build it in a month." Tang Dai thought that it was approaching the end of September. It's here, construction will start in October, and it will be completed in one month.The house has been aired out for a month, fully furnished, and it is almost time to move into a new house in December.

Hearing that his granddaughter had already made plans, Uncle Tang Dai didn't say anything, he just wanted to invite people tomorrow. He knew a construction team with a good reputation. There should be no problem with the superior wages.

After the matter was settled, Tang Dai felt relieved, and only waited to go back to the village to find the village chief's grandfather to buy the land.Unable to stay idle, she ran to the kitchen to help cook, but was kicked out by her aunt, who said that there was a lot of oily smoke in the kitchen and she was not allowed to enter.Tofu and bean sprouts can be helped by Mrs. Li, who can make braised tofu and stir-fried bean sprouts.

Tang Jue had already played with a few cousins. Looking at the group of young ladies, Tang Dai shook her head depressedly, and sat there watching. After all, she is already 28 in modern times, and she really doesn't want to be with a group of young ladies. Help the little kid to fight.In the eyes of others, she is a quiet girl.Tang Dai blinked, expressing that she was wronged!

After lunch, Tang Dai was busy packing her things and preparing to go home. Tofu still had to be made tomorrow.Mrs. Li went to her parents' rest room and closed the door, and stole two taels of silver for her mother. Seeing that her mother refused to accept it, Mrs. Li cried and told Tang Dai about educating Tang Jue with a crow today.He knelt down in front of his parents and confessed his mistake, saying that he shouldn't have alienated his mother's family because of his petty thoughts, and didn't even come to see her parents, making them worry about her.

Seeing her daughter crying into tears, Grandpa Tang Dai said these words again, and nodded for Grandma Tang Dai to accept.He also warned her daughter to live a better life in the future. The little granddaughter is not easy. Listen to her opinions more, and her happy days are just around the corner.

Tang Dai saw Li Shi who opened the door with red eyes and dust on her knees, her eyes flashed and she understood something.Pretending not to notice Li's strangeness, he turned his head to greet Tang Jue and set off back to Tangjia Village.
