Chapter 54: Li Zhu Buys Things

After Li Zhu sent the guests away, he came back to help clean up, and Li and Wu's second sister-in-law also helped clean up. The second sister-in-law www.biquge.info of Wu didn't let Li Zhu do anything, and said, "It's nothing, I'll just do it with your sister-in-law at once, you go back to the room and sit with Min'er for a while." ”

Li Zhu had no choice but to go back to the room to do his carpentry work. Li Zhu wanted to get a bamboo louzi and go fishing when Ming'er was flooding.

Li and Wu put the things together, put the uneaten meat in a small wooden bowl, and put it in a small stove.

After Li and Wu's second sister-in-law returned home, Deng discussed with Li Zhu about buying quilts.

Li Zhu listened to Mrs. Deng give Min'er a private room, his face was a little red, Deng looked at Li Zhu and comforted: "My mother's family is not in a hurry to use this money now, and it will be the same if we have it in the future." After hearing this, Li Zhu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I've been collecting firewood for the past few days, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to burn enough and cold the child." Why don't I dig another cellar in the firewood house, stock up on more firewood and grass, and don't starve the cows and sheep. Deng Shi nodded and discussed with Li Zhu: "Zhu, the thick quilt in our cabinet, you can take it out and make up for it tomorrow, so that it will be warmer." We still have two thin quilts here, the one I am covering now and the one I am padding, just dismantle and wash it tomorrow and dry it. My mother gave two taels of silver, I will paste two taels into it, you look at it to buy a quilt that is not big or small, it does not need to be big, the most important thing is thick and warm, the child sleeps with the two of us, and a small quilt is not easy to freeze. I've got some embroidery work, so when you go to town tomorrow, help me sell all of them. Li Zhu nodded after hearing this, and wrote them all down one by one. Li Zhu took an extra tael of silver to buy some Min'er's medicine and oil and salt.

After Li Zhu packed up Ming'er's things, he went to the house of the eldest brother and uncle, and asked the Li family and Aunt Sun to take care of the family.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Zhu asked Li and Aunt Sun to take care of Min'er, and he took Uncle Zhang's car to the town with a big quilt on his back.

When Shen Shi, Li Zhu carried a small quilt, a few packets of medicine in his hand, and pulled two birds, and came back. Two small birds, thin and small, with black, gray and white stripes, feet with three toes, missing hind toes, feathers shrunk together, long feet and neck, and oval bodies.

Deng was startled when he saw the little bird pulled by Li Zhu in the room, Li Hai had never seen such a bird, and he circled around the bird excitedly. Hamahama was startled when he saw it, how could there be ostriches here?

Deng sighed helplessly and asked, "Zhu, what's going on with this bird?" Li Zhu put down the quilt and medicine, scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Today, I went to the market, and I saw someone pulling these two birds to sell, and when I bought the quilt and medicine, sold the embroidery, and turned back to the market, I saw the people of the eldest brother-in-law's family whipping them, so I went to ask what was going on." It turned out that these two birds were given to the eldest brother-in-law to play by others, but this bird is bigger, can't fly, can't lay eggs, and no one has eaten it, because it eats grass, so it is kept at home. The person who feeds today is pecked, so he pulls it out and sells it. Because no one has eaten it, no one has raised it, and I heard that it hurts people, so no one buys it. The man had been selling for a morning and had not sold, so he whipped the bird. I couldn't see it and said I bought it. The man saw that it was me, so he only charged twenty cents. Your three handkerchiefs sold for fifty-three pennies. Deng Shi was happy for a while when he heard that he had sold his embroidery for a good price, and suddenly remembered what Li Zhugang said, and hurriedly said: "Oh, how can you buy this bird bite." We have a lot of children and small children, how can this be good? ”

Li Zhu scratched his head embarrassedly after hearing this, and said, "Otherwise, put it in the uncle's house, what do you think?" When Deng Shi heard this, he thought about it, shook his head, and said, "No, what if I hurt my uncle?" After hearing this, Li Zhu nodded and said, "Alas, let's keep it by the sheepfold." Separated by sticks, we fed the grass on the side, and I looked at the poor bird. Deng Shi looked at Li Zhu, looked at the joy of the children circling around, and nodded helplessly.

Hamahama was a little speechless when he heard this, he went out to buy cattle last time and came back with a sheep, this time he bought a quilt and brought two ostriches back for no reason. This ostrich eats small animals and grass, and of course it bites. Now that your own family is small, don't get hurt. Here, I was injured by an ostrich and I don't know if there is a cure.

Deng Shi hurriedly said to Brother Li Hai: "Hai'er, Tao'er, Bo'er, you three stay away from these two birds, be careful not to get hurt." Brother Li Hai nodded after hearing this, but his eyes still revolved around the two birds.

Li Zhu tied the two birds under the peach blossom tree, built a straw shed with bamboo next to the sheepfold against the wall, and then fenced it with bamboo on three sides of the straw shed (except for the side of the wall), and circled the bottom of the shed in imitation of the chicken pen. In this way, the head can not be stretched out very long, and one side is made into a movable, as a door, the same way as a chicken pen below, and one horizontal and one horizontal like writing three above.

When the old man Li came back, Li Yu and Li Tian came back and saw Li Zhu busy working, he came over to help and asked why he had built a straw hut again. Li Zhu said it 1510. Li Yu sighed deeply after hearing this, and said, "Zhu, now that the family is making money everywhere, why are you still spending money indiscriminately." Alas, what does Min'er say? Li Zhu said embarrassedly: "Min, I said just be careful not to hurt the child." After hearing this, Li Yu nodded and said, "You met Min'er, change to an unreasonable one, and fight with you for this matter." Li Zhu nodded after hearing this, and said, "Of course I know the goodness of my own daughter-in-law." Li Yu shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and kept helping to build it with his hands and feet. Old Man Li looked at the bird, then at his son and shook his head, didn't say anything, and silently sped up the work in his hands. Li Tian's half-grown ten-year-old boy usually helps the family with work, and he is also helping little by little.

Because it is a simple arrangement, it is done at the end of the day. It didn't take much time before and after. Li Zhu looked at it, and put three hollowed-out bamboos on the side close to the sheep, and put the three hollowed-out bamboos with larger hollows on the bottom of the inside, which was used as a grass trough for the sink, and stretched out three bamboos, so that if the children want to feed, they can directly stick into the bamboo, so that they will not be injured. Old Man Li looked at Li Zhu's movements and nodded, feeling that although his child was a little stupid, he was still clever in other places.
