Chapter 18 Keeping a low profile
Half an hour passed in a flash, the three members of the Li family drove the ox cart home, Li Anfu moved the things he bought home, and hurried to return the ox cart of Li Dagui's family, after all, there are few ox carts, in addition to being afraid of something going wrong, I am also afraid that some people will use it urgently.
And the Hu family went directly into the hall, and handed over the remaining seven taels of silver and a few hundred copper coins to the Niu family, the Li family has not yet been divided, and the silver is under the management of the Niu family, if the juniors below need copper coins, they must explain the purpose to the Niu family, and the Niu family feels that they can give money, although this is very inconvenient, but it is also convenient for the family to manage, after all, there is still a family member, or it will be messed up.
Besides, there are very few parents in the countryside who split up, and everyone thinks that it is unfilial piety and a manifestation of family disharmony, and many people feel that everyone can work together more together, which also means that the family is prosperous.
The Niu family didn't feel much surprised to receive so much silver, after all, it was all calculated at home, and besides, the money in the family has been in charge for so many years. is still a little bold, not comparable to these daughters-in-law below.
In broad daylight, everyone doesn't have so much idle chat, and they discuss things after dinner, so they don't waste time.
So after Hu Shi paid the money, he hurried out of the house, and then got busy, the medicinal materials also have a season, and the effect is not good after the first month (lunar calendar).
Li Hui also set off with a shovel, her own plans and the like are all supported by funds, and at present, she can only make money slowly like this, and God probably won't let her come to this world for nothing, so she hummed a song,
Today's weather is so sunny, everywhere is good, butterflies are busy, bees are busy......
Head to the back mountain.
Time passed in the blink of an eye in the busyness, and the Li family felt that time passed too quickly, and in the evening, several women of the Li family washed their hands and were busy handling the things they bought today.
Hu went to the backyard vegetable field (the yards in the countryside are very large, and vegetables are planted at the back of the house) and cut a large bundle of leeks, and asked Li to pick leeks with her.
In less than half an hour, the noodles were reconciled, the stuffing was mixed, and only the bun remained.
At this time, all the women of the Li family went into battle, Li Hui, Li Xiu and Li Ruyi also came to help.
In the hall, everyone gathered around the square table, two people rolled dough, and five people wrapped it, a busy scene.
When several men from the Li family came home and saw the scene in the house, they couldn't help but feel warm, nothing was more satisfying than coming back from a busy day and seeing their families happy, and their children and wives preparing dinner.
The pursuit of life is nothing more than this, the parents are safe, healthy, and the wife and children are hot on the kang. Several men in the Li family feel that their lives are complete, they don't worry about eating, drinking, and it's best to be happy.
There are many people with great strength, and after a while, they will wrap two pots of chops (a kind of utensils for holding things in the countryside), and you can start to put down the pot, generally while wrapping and cooking, of course, that is, the men eat first, and finally the women who make dumplings eat again.
Although this is partly due to the fact that women feel sorry for their man and can't bear him to be hungry, it also shows the status of women in ancient times.
Everyone was busy chatting at the same time.
"Oh, I feel like the current days are like gods, not to mention that I can eat enough, and there are white flour dumplings to eat, it would be nice if I did this every day in the future." Lee sighed.
"Second aunt, don't worry, you will get tired of eating meat in the future, and you want to eat green vegetables and radishes." Li Hui couldn't help but say, with such a united, hard-working and capable family, it's no wonder if you don't get rich.
"How is that possible, I can't get tired of eating white flour dumplings every day."
"Second aunt, no matter how good things are, if you eat too much, you will be annoyed."
"Impossible, when I was a child, the catastrophe hurt a lot of people, the hungry began to gnaw on the bark, and some places are said to have begun to eat human flesh, at that time I thought, when can I eat enough food every day, now life is a little better, but it still depends on God, I am afraid that God will not give people a way to live."
After Li finished speaking, everyone's mood couldn't help but be a little heavy, after all, a few adults were still quite impressed, at that time, almost every family starved to death, Li Qingshan and Zhou finally supported a few brothers.
"We will have a better life in the future, and this will not happen again." Li Hui didn't know the scene at that time, but it can be imagined that it was almost the same as in 1942, with floating corpses everywhere and miserable.
"That's it, Hui Yatou is right, we should look forward, our family will get better and better." Li Qingshan said.
Pull everyone out of the sad atmosphere.
"By the way, our family has earned so much silver in just a few days, don't go out and talk nonsense." Li Qingshan just remembered.
"Dad, we all know that." The Li brothers said.
"I know adults won't, but I'm afraid that a few children will talk nonsense, and you can explain to a few little ones when you go back, and don't say that the family always eats delicious food. After all, money is charming, and it will be impossible to guard against it when the time comes. Let's keep a low profile, if others will definitely hide the way. Li Qingshan said.
"I know, our children are not like that, they are all obedient."
As he spoke, the dumplings were cooked, and Li Qingshan felt a little reluctant to borrow a cow from someone else's day.
"Boss, you can send a bowl of dumplings to the noble family, you can't make other people's cows in vain."
"Got it, Dad." Li Anfu replied.
Here, Hu hurriedly filled a large bowl and handed it to Li Anfu.
"Dad, then I'll go."
"Well, go and get back quickly."
Li Dagui's house, he said to Li Anfu, "What else to give, it's not easy to eat something good, eat it yourself." ”
"I still have it at home, I went to the town today to buy some meat, and I will make some dumplings and give you a taste." Li Anfu said.
The two of them excused themselves and resigned.
"Okay, hurry up and take it, it will be cold in a while, if you don't accept it, I won't dare to borrow the cow then." Li Anfu said.
"Okay, I accepted it this time, don't be so polite next time." Li Dagui couldn't, so he could only accept it.
Li Anfu took the empty bowl and hurried home.
"The boss is back, why has it been so long, everyone has been waiting for you." Li Qingshan said.
