Chapter Ninety-Six: Little Poor Li Minghao
Because she went to bed early at night, Li Yuqing got up early the next morning, moved her body like a broken frame, and her back hurt all over her body. Pushing open the door to get water and washing, I saw that Cai was already busy in the kitchen.
Li Yuqing walked over with a basin and saw that Cai's had already made rice porridge and was washing vegetables, "Grandma, why do you get up so early?"
Cai, who was still busy, was startled when he heard someone speak, and turned around to see that he patted his chest, "Yuqing, why are you walking silently, it's about to scare my heart and liver," and said slowly, "People are old and sleep shallowly, thinking that you are not going to the mountains today, anyway, if you can't sleep, it is better to cook early, and you can eat more comfortably." ”
Hearing Cai's words, Li Yuqing's heart was warm, she put down the basin in her hand, stepped forward to hug Cai's who was still busy washing the dishes, and said coquettishly, "Grandma, thank you."
Seeing her like this, Cai didn't know what to do for a while, and he couldn't push her away with water in his hands, so he could only gently pat Li Yuqing's back with his wrist and said, "Silly child, what kind of polite words do your family members say, I'm still busy, you hurry up and wash up, and you can eat when the food is ready." ”
Li Yuqing nodded obediently after hearing this, rubbed it in Cai's arms and left, "I know grandma, I'll wash first" said and picked up the basin on the ground and happily washed up.
I ate early in the morning, in order to try to finish it all at once in the morning, so there were water droplets on the road when I went to the mountain, although the weather was not colder than other areas, but it was still cold and uncomfortable to sweep on the trouser legs.
When they arrived at the destination, the division of labor had been clear before, so before Li Yuqing could react, Chen Dazhuang and Li Daniu had already climbed the tree and started picking soaphorns. Compared to yesterday, there is no obvious black soaphorn hanging on the tree, only a little bit of intersecting branches and leaves.
Probably more skillful than yesterday's picking, soon there was not much soaphorn tree basically can't be seen, Li Yuqing looked at the soaphorn tree that was not much left, and estimated that there were almost 200 catties picked yesterday and today, I didn't expect a soaphorn tree to be so able to bear fruit, thinking about the soaphorn tree of Old Man Chen's house before, it was a little painful, and muttered in a low voice, "Grandpa is really a loser."
It's not yet noon, the soaphorns have all been picked, and there are less than 4 baskets, Li Yuqing is both happy and disappointed, happy that the four baskets don't have her share, she just needs to carry the empty basket she carried back. The disappointment is that if the basket is full, it can be sold for a lot of money.
Carrying a light basket on his back, following the four of them home, Li Yuqing couldn't be happy. It's still early when I get home, and Cai hasn't started to prepare lunch yet, and I've been very busy lately, so I haven't been in touch with the three little ones for a long time.
Li Yuqing put down the back basket and patted the dust on his body, Li Minghao ran over, hugged Li Yuqing's thighs and rubbed around, looking at Li Yuqing pitifully, like an abandoned kitten, Li Yuqing felt sour when he saw it.
Li Yuqing bent down and picked up Li Minghao, who was obviously a little blessed, "What's wrong with Hao'er, who bullied you, tell the eldest sister"
"The eldest sister has no one to bully Hao'er, but recently the second sister has been learning embroidery with Sister Jiali and her grandmother every day, and no one plays with Hao'er, Hao'er is so bored. ”
Originally, Li Yuqing was still worried about what grievances Li Minghao had suffered, but when she heard him say this, she was relieved, "Then Hao'er can go to Aunt Osmanthus's house to play with Brother Tiedan." ”
Originally, Li Yuqing didn't say that Li Minghao was very aggrieved, but now when she heard her say this, she was even more aggrieved, and said a little sluggishly, "I went to find it, but I didn't play for long, so I helped the family work" As she spoke, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Sister, if you don't help me find something to do, Hao'er has grown up and has strength." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his chubby little arms.
Li Yuqing looked at his cute appearance, and almost squirted out and thought secretly, "Silly brother, do you want to show me muscles, look at your lotus root-like arms are clearly fat." ”
Of course, Li Yuqing would not say this to him, looking at his expectant look, Li Yuqing tilted his head and thought about it, and put him on the ground quietly by the way, Li Minghao didn't know why his eldest sister put him down, looked up at Li Yuqing, Li Yuqing pretended not to see it.
joked that she was deliberately how could she be discovered by him, now that the living conditions are better, Li Minghao, the little guy who grows the fastest, has a chubby and round little body, but it is not something that Li Yuqing's body can support for a long time.
Li Minghao looked at it for a while, and saw that his eldest sister didn't notice it, so he could only pouting and bowing his head and waiting for Li Yuqing's answer.
After a while, I heard Li Yuqing's voice, "Hao'er helps my sister work"
"Mm-hmm" Li Minghao heard Li Yuqing say this, his eyes lit up and he nodded desperately.
"Okay, my sister has nothing to do at home to accompany you in the past two days, and you have to help your sister work obediently in two days, but you can't be lazy." Li Yuqing bent down and touched Li Minghao's little head and said.
After two days, the soaphorn will start to boil the soaphorn liquid, and when the time comes, you can ask Li Minghao to help take the small wooden bucket and put it in the soaphorn liquid, which is easy and can find something for him to do not let him get bored.
"Hao'er is very well-behaved, can the eldest sister teach Hao'er to write these days, and when Hao'er grows up, she can take the top exam and protect the eldest sister and the second sister. ”
"Hao'er is so good, my sister will teach you in the afternoon, and when you are older next year, I will send you to a private school, so that you can not only study but also have children to play with you. ”
Li Minghao listened to Li Yuqing's words, his happy eyes smiled into a line, he danced on the spot, hugged Li Yuqing's neck after being excited, and kissed Li Yuqing's cheek with two mouthfuls.
Li Yuqing looked at Li Minghao, who was so happy, and was very happy in her heart, her greatest wish was to let them live well.
The top priority is to send them to school, Li Minghao needless to say, boys can go to study anywhere, but girls can't, the current customs can't allow girls to go to school like boys, so Li Yuqing can only secretly think in her heart, look at the sales of soaphorn liquid and the output of potatoes next year, if you have money, you can build a private school in Lijia Village, and then ask Mr. to popularize the knowledge of children in the village.
The development of a place depends mainly on the level of people's questioning, Li Yuqing secretly decided that she came here because of fate, no matter what happens in the future, now she will do her best to develop this place well.
After thinking about these things, Li Minghao pestered her and played with him for a while, He and Cai's cooked and called them to eat together, at the dinner table, Li Yuqing told Li Yuxin and Chen Jiali about teaching Li Minghao to write in the afternoon, Li Yuxin's eyes were bright and said that he also wanted to learn, but Chen Jiali said with a lack of interest that he continued to learn embroidery with Cai's and was not interested in reading and literacy.
Li Yuqing didn't say anything more when she saw her like this, she knew that everyone pursued different things, so they did things differently, and the life they experienced in the future would be even different, she understood this.
