A good scene with a quarrel between the Yu family and Yang Liu's two concubines finally turned into a common enemy between the two concubines, Yang Liu was unintentional, but looking at the clean crowd outside the courtyard, she suddenly found that things were going in a good direction.

Yu and Yang Liu were going to quarrel, but they had just joined forces against a foreign enemy, and it seemed that it was not right to quarrel again. The two looked at the empty courtyard for a moment, then turned their heads almost at the same time.

"I'm going to pour the bath water."

"I'm going to cook."

If it weren't for Yu's stiff face, Yang Liu would have almost laughed. As soon as the words fell, the two turned around and did their own thing.

Yang Liu picked up the vegetables that had been spilled on the ground into the vegetable basket, and put the vegetable basket on the hat next to the cutting board. shoveled a shovel of firewood ash and lightly sprinkled it on the mud, and stepped on it with his feet, when Yu suddenly walked in, saw Yang Liu was dealing with his own mess, and said a little unnaturally: "I'll take the bucket to wash." ”

Yang Liu nodded, skillfully picking, washing, and chopping vegetables. After Yu cleaned up the bath room, he also took the initiative to help boil water and cook rice. Seeing that the bottom of the pot was a little browned, she asked, "This is"

"You scooped up the bath water and forgot to return the firewood." Yang Liu explained lightly.

Yu Shi understood why Yang Liu was so angry just now, and suddenly fell silent. Shoveled the burnt bottom of the pot with a spatula, and brushed the pot several times in a row, until the water scooped out of the pot was free of black slag, and then re-ignited the fire to boil the water and prepare for cooking.

The Li family, who heard the rumors, also hurried back at this time, and the expected quarrel did not appear, and the courtyard door opened by Tong Guò saw that the Yu family was putting the chickens in the chicken pen, and Yang Liu was cooking in the house, although the two did not speak, but it did not look like they had quarreled. At least Xiuxiu knew that if the Yu family had quarreled with someone, he would definitely not be able to get down on the kang, instead of wanting to do things like this now.

Xiuxiu deliberately said loudly: "Second sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, we are back." It is intended to remind the two that no matter what they are dissatisfied with both parties, they must be restrained in front of their mothers.

"Mother, you're back." Yu Shi smiled first.

He nodded, and Yang Liu came out with an apron and greeted them one by one.

Li Cong still had mud on his hands and face, and he was looking at Yang Liu anxiously, the latter smiled and shook his head lightly to say that it was okay, and Li Cong was relieved.

At this time, it was naturally impossible to go to the field again, Yu Shi brought hot water out and asked others to wash their faces, Li Cong was embarrassed to go to the ground, just heard that Yang Liu and the second sister-in-law had a terrible quarrel, he didn't say a word, and threw down the guy in his hand and ran home. It's only been a few days since I was born, but don't make a fuss about this and that, now the third brother is still alone in the field.

Yang Liu went to the stove room to work again.

When Li Wu and the dog came back, the rice had already been boiled and stewed in the pot, and the vegetables were all cut but not fried yet. Yu Shi lit the fire by himself, stir-fried the willow, and the two quickly made six dishes and one soup.

Halfway through the meal, Li Wu took out a money bag and handed it to He: "Mother, this is our monthly money for this month." ”

He Shi took it in his hand and said in surprise: "Why are there so many?" ”

"It's not that the family is busy with farming, there must be many places to use money, and I'm afraid that it won't be enough, so I will pay a month's wages."

"Well, you still need to use it. Treat guests to dinner, and don't use money for the pen, ink and paper of the dog's eggs. He said that he was about to untie the money bag and return the extra money to Li Wu.

Li Wuyi pinched the mouth of the money bag, shook his head and said: "I eat and live in the store, and I usually don't spend much, I have set aside all the money for entertainment, so you can keep it." Li Wu turned his head to look at Li Qiang and Li Cong again, and said with a smile, "The store is busy, and I can't go away, and the family will have to work hard for the two younger brothers during this time." ”

The two brothers, Li Qiang and Li Cong, hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and nodded in response.

Li Wu looked at Xiao He's family again: "Sisters-in-law, brothers and sisters should also take care of more, please worry about family affairs." ”

The ladies also nodded yes.

Li Cong smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mother, we will hand over the money to you later." "Originally, the monthly money was paid at the beginning of each month, and the family should also pay it in advance, so as not to have no money in hand. Li Wu did this to make Li Cong realize that he was not thinking through it. He hasn't been to the mountains a few times since he got married, and most of the prey he hunted was left to eat, and there was no income at all, so he was afraid that he would have to get out of the money he had saved before. Thinking of this, he looked at Yang Liu apologetically, when he handed over the money box to Yang Liu for safekeeping, not only did he not get a penny in, but he also took it out to feel Li Cong's apology, Yang Liu smiled kindly, paying the monthly money was supposed to be, and she naturally didn't say anything.

Li Qiang's hands under the table rubbed unconsciously, looked at He Shi, and was a little embarrassed: "Mother, I"

"Okay, okay, the family is busy, you and the fifth child will be free of monthly money this month." He interrupted hurriedly. In the end, it was his own son, and let him admit that he was shy in front of so many brothers and sisters-in-law, how much harm it would be to a man. He knew that Li Qiang was honest and clumsy, he didn't have so many eyes, he didn't have any skills except for serving the crops and weaving a few baskets, and he had many children, and a hundred yuan a month was also a big burden. When you are free, you can still find some work to do, and when you are busy with farming, there is no income. They are all sons, and the He family has to treat everyone equally on the surface, and she didn't secretly give Li Qiang some money, but he refused, saying that this was what he should pay, and it was unfair to the other brothers to give it openly and secretly

The other brothers are not stupid, and they have a rough idea of how much money they spend each month, and this family is not easy to do

He Shi looked up at Li Qiang again, not only twenty-five or sixteen years old, Li Qiang's temples were already a little gray, He felt a little sour, and was busy hiding his head to eat, all of them were his own sons, and her sons went out to ensure that people who didn't know would think that Li Qiang was the boss. It's easy to live, but it's hard to live.

are all sons who have become a family and started a business, why should they pay monthly money for their own house? Yu opened his mouth to refute, but Li Wu glared at her and motioned her to restrain herself. Among the brothers, he mixes better, Li Wu is naturally a little proud in his heart, and sometimes he will talk and act with a bit of overwhelming momentum. But he is proud, brothers are still brothers, brothers can quarrel and fight with each other, and he can't ignore face, and he will never allow his woman to slap his brother's face.

What is the situation of the third family, Li Wu is not unaware, and it is still possible for him, the shopkeeper of such a small branch to enter the rice store. But this kid quit his job angrily after three days, saying that he couldn't stand deceiving people. In order to make more money, the rice shop sometimes sells old rice as new rice to people who don't understand, but Li Qiang can't accept the deception, saying that he would rather go home to farm than do something that is poked in the back.

After all, it didn't happen.
