As Tang Qing'er said, Li put the beans on the bamboo curtain, put them in the pot and steamed them, steamed them for about a quarter of an hour, took the beans and put them outside to cool, and at this time Tang Qing'er had already washed the dozen radishes that Li had dug up.

Li cut the radish into small strips and put them in a wooden basin, Tang Qing'er picked up the thread, put the beans that Li had just steamed and cooled, and wore the whole three skewers, there were three radishes left in Li's side that were not cut, and there were two large pots of radish strips next to it, Tang Qing'er went to the kitchen to take out a few bamboo curtains, and placed the already cut radish strips neatly on the bamboo curtain, and when she finished, Li finished cutting the remaining radishes, and the two of them put the beans and radish strips in a place with the sun. At this time, the wood and stone led Tang Jiao'er, who was already able to walk, and walked towards them, and Li washed his hands and got busy serving them to eat.

After the children finished eating, Li cleaned up all the things in the house, and prepared to take the babies back to their parents' house to see, it stands to reason that the old Tang family should be separated, and the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law should be present, so as not to be unfair when the family is divided, but Li thinks that as long as the family can be separated, each has its own way, it is better than anything else, and there is no need to let her mother come over and worry about it.

Before leaving, Li deliberately went to Sun's room, she was making small clothes for her daughter in the house, and when she saw Li coming over, she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, is the house all cleaned up?" ”

"There's nothing valuable about it, just clean it up," and picked up the clothes that Sun made for Fei'er, embroidered a chrysanthemum at the cuffs, this needle and thread is dense and stable, better than her embroidery, I can't help but smile and say: "When I was a girl, your needlework was famous in our village, since I married into this family, I haven't seen much of your embroidery, and I thought that if I didn't embroider for so long, I would definitely regress, but I didn't expect it to be better than when I was a girl, and the embroidery was good, looking at the needle code and how lively this pattern is." ”

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm boasting, my embroidery work is taken out of my hands, since marrying into this family, how can I have the opportunity to do needlework, that is, when I have free time, I can't keep it that is, I make a dress for the head of the house and the children, and take a sole, fortunately, now I am divided, there is no in-laws to serve, there is no sister-in-law to be embarrassed, the babies are becoming more and more sensible, the head can still do, he has covered the heavy work at home, come to nothing first, then take a piece of cloth out to make some clothes for the children, embroider some patterns, the right is to practice hands, and go to the town to buy some needlework in the future, Embroider some handkerchiefs and earn pocket money. Thinking about his future life, the corners of Sun's mouth couldn't help but curl.

"It's this reason, now the farming is over, the family is not much food, quite enough to eat until the New Year, take advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do now, go to the town embroidery shop to get some odd jobs, embroider at home, not only do not miss the work at home, but also make some money," Li also thought so some time ago, that is, the craftsmanship is not as good as Sun's, I am afraid that the embroidery will not be in the shop, to say that she can take the work outside the house, that is, the embroidery can not be done.

The two of them talked for a while, and Li said to Sun: "Brother and sister, I want to go back to my mother's house today, this is not a matter of separation, I didn't tell my mother, if my mother knows from others, I don't have to be in a hurry to get angry, I think that the work at home is almost busy, take advantage of today's free, go back to my mother's house, I may come back later tonight, if your eldest brother comes back from the town, I want him to eat at you,"

"What's this! Okay, sister-in-law, go to your mother's house, don't worry, big brother, I won't let him go hungry," Sun thought it was a big deal to make it so difficult for the Li family to speak.

"And brother and sister, I dried some radish strips and beans in the morning, if I come back late, please help me put it away, I'm afraid that if I come back late, I will be remembered by others......" Li raised his head and glanced at the upper room, and Sun said.

"Okay, don't worry, it's this time, you go quickly, I have something to do at home, you can rest assured," Sun specially added, and Li took the child back to his parents' house with confidence.

There is a road of more than ten miles from Tangjia Village to Lijia Village, and before Li and his children have left the village, they saw Tang Da Niu from the same village driving an ox cart to make it, Tang Da Niu hurriedly pulled the ox cart and said to Li: "Niece and daughter-in-law, where are you going?" ”

Li replied with a smile: "I'll take the babies back to my parents' house, uncle, where are you going?"

Tang Daniu replied: "I went to the town to buy some meat, my daughter's family is here, and there are no decent dishes at home, I want to go to the town to buy some meat,"

"Oh," Li knows that Hu Laosan's family sells meat in the village, but the selling point is a bit expensive, a pound of lean meat in the town is only ten yuan, a pound of meat with three layers of meat is 12 yuan, a pound of fat meat is fifteen yuan, Hu Laosan's meat is more expensive than the town for two cents per catty, most people in the village do not have ox carts, feel that it takes an hour to sell meat in the town, sometimes they are in a hurry to treat customers as soon as it is convenient, so they go to him to buy, people in the village have ox carts in the village feel that his meat is expensive, and they would rather drive the ox cart to the town to buy it than go to him to buy it, Tang Daniu is such a person.

"Come up, I'll give you a ride, wait until the intersection, you are getting off," Tang Daniu is also a cheerful person, watching Li take a few babies to walk to Lijia Village, how can you walk for two moments, adults can stand it, where can children not stand it.

"Hehe, this is thank you uncle, even if the uncle doesn't say it, I have to open my mouth and ask the uncle to give me a while," he said and hugged the little daughters and went up, and when Tang Qing'er arrived, Tang Qing'er held the frame and went up by himself, without the help of the Li family.

Tang Da Niu looked at Tang Qing'er a little muddy, and got into the ox cart very quickly, and said with a smile: "Looking at the body is quite small, I didn't expect the strength to be quite big, you little girl is good, you are blessed,"

Li Shi was very happy when he said this, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Don't boast so much, children don't boast," Tang Daniu is a blessed person in the village, his son and daughter-in-law are filial, and his daughter-in-law and son-in-law often come to visit, and he is even more accurate in seeing people, he said that her family's Qing'er is a blessed person, and he must be a blessed person in the future.

Tang Qing'er was depressed, how could this old man see that he was blessed, just because she didn't have her mother to help her, she got into the ox cart by herself, uh! The thinking of the ancients is so simple.

"I heard that your family broke up a few days ago, the family is good, the so-called tree branch family is divided, a family is always bumpy together, work unfairly, concubine discord, a long time will produce contradictions, separated family can live a small life, if the future is good, should be filial piety to the old or filial piety, our village is the old people do not understand this, to the back of the father and son discord, mother and son are estranged, brothers are different, alas!" Tang Da Niu is so old, he can see it openly, and he can understand it.

When Tang Qing'er heard this, she felt that this old man was indeed a wise man, his words were really good, and his thoughts were very thorough, her father was also so old, he thought about eating together, working together, and earning money together as a family all day long, and his heart must be together, but he didn't know that in private, everyone was thinking carefully, fighting openly and secretly.

"Hehe, what the uncle said is, "This Li family can't say that her in-laws are not, if others hear it, then you can't talk about her behind your back, even if it's a good-hearted Uncle Tang."
