After a few days, the village actually spread out that the government wants to recruit people to repair the river dam, this is a fat difference, can't help but pay more, eat well, at this time most of the grain in every household is taxed and confiscated, the population of the family, the rest of the food is not enough to eat, this year to catch up with the town government to recruit people to repair the river dam, eat enough to pay the wages, the men in the village want to fight for this errand, the four brothers of the old Tang family are no exception, have gone to Lizheng's house to sign up, since the last time Li is helping Tang Tiezhu's two sons go to school, Li Zheng felt that Tang Tiezhu was a person who could do things, and Tang Tiezhu was counted as one of the twenty people recruited.

Tang Tiezhu didn't expect Li Zheng to help him, after all, the last time the babies were studying, they had troubled him, and this time it was even worse to trouble people with their mouths, so they waited for news with their brothers at home, and the next afternoon, all the men who were recruited to repair the river dam, Li Zheng told them one by one, including Tang Tiezhu, Tang Tiexiong brothers, and Tang Tielin of the third uncle's family, Tang Ming in the east of the village, Wang Jinyu, the eldest son of the old Wang Tou, Wang Jinqiao, the second son Wang Jinqiao, Tang Shui in the west of the village, etc., Tang Tiezhu heard that these people in the village are all down-to-earth and hardworking, People who work hard can't help but admire that Lizheng is really reliable.

The only regret is that the third brother and the fourth brother did not succeed, which made Tang Tiezhu feel very sorry in his heart, Zhang thought that the two sons she gave birth to on this errand were nine out of ten, but who would have thought that none of them would be successful, so he sneered at home and said that Tang Tiezhu's brothers had no conscience or something like that.

Tang Tiezhu couldn't stand the Zhang family's nonsense, and said to the Li family: "Otherwise, I will give this errand to one of the third or fourth brothers, I am afraid that if I really go to the town to repair the river dam, my mother will find trouble for you and the babies,"

Li disagreed, and retorted: "This is Li Zheng arranged for someone to go, how can it be that we will change it when we say it, where do we put Li Zheng's face, quickly dispel the thoughts in your heart,"

"Alas, then what do you say, I really don't feel at ease when I put you at home," Tang Tiezhu looked at his mother-in-law worriedly.

The Li family is very calm, and has been competing with the Zhang family openly and secretly over the years, and on the surface, he has suffered a lot, and the Zhang family has not been able to get benefits in secret, tunnel: "You go to yours, what about me at home?" Mother is amazing, isn't there still a father? You can rest assured! ”

"Alright! The second brother also went to the town, if you have something to do, you can take care of the second brother and sister, after all, ...... "After all, the second brother is his own brother of the same father and mother, although he didn't say this, but Li understood what it meant, and nodded in response."

Tang Tiezhu was relieved, he went to the town with his second brother in the afternoon, and when he arrived in the town, he arranged for them to work, digging soil, loading soil, and building river dams, although they were tired, but they were full, three meals a day, each meal was three white-flour steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, plus a stack of pickles and fried shredded pork, Tang Tiezhu's brothers ate two steamed buns a day and saved the steamed buns to take home for the babies to eat, three meals a day, so that they could save three steamed buns a day, enough for two babies to chew, and they could earn thirty-five dollars a day. However, the money was paid to them after the dam was repaired.

Li worked in the yard at home, and her mother-in-law Zhang always came to find her fault, saying that life was not easy back then, how to pull the two Tang Tiezhu brothers to grow up, now it's good, eat inside and outside, there are benefits and I don't know how to pull the brothers, Li Shi heard the words and pulled down his face, put down the work in his hand, and said angrily: "Mother-in-law, I don't agree with what you say, this time I went to work in the town, that is who Li Zheng arranges to go, which is what we can decide, if we really have so much strength, I have already arranged for the third and fourth brothers to go together, saying that the third and fourth brothers have no babies in their families, my family and the second brother's family have a large population, and there are many people who open their mouths to eat, and the food they get from the division is not enough to eat, if you are saying such things, then I have to have a good fight with you,"

Since Li married in, if she said anything, Li has never refutated, like a angry bag, this time he actually choked with her, Zhang laughed angrily: "I see that your attitude of speaking now is not just arguing with me, if you let others see or hear, you will definitely say that you are not filial, then I will let the old man open the ancestral hall and leave you, hum,"

Li Shi thought of being angry all these years, and said directly: "Then you can try it, I will wait for you to open the ancestral hall and leave me,"

The Zhang family originally used this to scare the Li family, but he didn't expect the Li family to care at all, this arrow had to be sent on the string, so he had to say hatefully: "I'll just say to the old man, and dare to choke with me, let him come to you,"

Tang Qing'er watched her mother being angry with Zhang, and she couldn't wait to tear her mouth apart and let her talk nonsense all day, and when Zhang went to the main house to move the rescuers, she comforted her mother and said: "Mother, grandma scared you just now, mother, don't take it seriously, leave me and my younger siblings back to my grandmother's house,"

"Humph! After the family is separated, my mother is not afraid of your grandmother, but after all, filial piety is there, sometimes we live together, and I have to be angry with your grandmother from time to time, and my mother is now only looking forward to moving out of here as soon as possible, away from these nonsense people," Li Shi saw that his daughter's worried little body was trembling, and hugged her to comfort her.

Tang Qing'er was really worried that Zhang's was playing right and wrong in front of her father, and the annoyed grandfather opened the ancestral hall, and ancient women all obeyed the three from the four virtues, and the three followed: "If you are not married, you will obey your husband, and if your husband dies, you will follow your son," and the four virtues refer to: "Women's morality, women's words, women's appearance, and women's skills." "If you really want to say that your mother's wife is not virtuous in filial piety, it will definitely cause a storm, but her worries are still superfluous, she waited in the yard for a long time, and she didn't see her grandfather's roaring voice coming, and there was no movement at all on Zhang's side, obviously Tang Qing'er was worried about it.

Tang Tiezhu's brothers did not live in the town, they got up early and went to the town and ran at home in the dark, and they could bring back the rations of the two babies every day, Li and Sun saw it, and said distressedly: "The family is not like the previous situation, you don't need to save like this, you are saying that you work hard in the town, you should eat more, so that you can have the strength to work, don't starve yourself in order to save rations,"

Tang Tiezhu always smiled and said: "I'm not very tired, I'm saying that after eating two steamed buns and a big bowl of white porridge, it's just eight points full, if you eat too much, you won't be able to work hard,"

Li can always talk about being in charge, but every time he mentions this topic, he always can't talk about him, he always has an excuse to keep himself speechless, and every now and then when he comes back in the evening, he can only leave some wild vegetable porridge in the pot for him to pad his stomach, so as to save him from hunger at night.
