12. [1-012] The fourth uncle is tired of farming
Today's day is not beautiful, just helped grandparents and the fourth uncle's rice to harvest, in the afternoon began to rain drippingly, seeing that it was impossible to stop for a while, grandpa only looked up at the day, and said with certainty: "It seems that it has to rain for a few days in a row, but fortunately, the eldest and the third child, your millet is green, and you can wait a little longer." ”
"Dad——, the millet can wait a few days to be harvested, I'm afraid that the main family will not know what to do when the rent is urged?" The boss Li Mingguang put the freshly rolled dry tobacco in his hand into the tobacco pouch for his father.
The fourth Li Mingquan took out the flint from his waist and leaned over to help his father light it: "Dad——, take advantage of the rain, I have to go and see where to find something, if I want to ask my sworn brothers tomorrow, if I don't have time to come back to help my eldest brother harvest rice, don't be angry!" ”
The eldest Li Mingjie glanced at his fourth brother: "I know that you will say this and do it...... Fourth, every year, your third brother and I help your rice take back home and you run away, when can you help me and your third brother do something? "If this kid hadn't just married a daughter-in-law who could be called a beautiful lady for ten miles and eight towns, and there was an old man on top of him, it is estimated that he would not even want to serve his own piece of land, and he would say this every year, and there would be no new reason.
Li Mingquan smiled, straightened up, and glanced at the eldest brother and third brother: "Today I asked my mother to buy a pound of pork, a pound of wine, and a few decent side dishes...... Big brother, third brother, you said how many brothers we have, did I treat you badly when the fourth brother? I just don't want to rely on farming for the rest of my life, and this rented land is not a long-term one, is it? When I make a lot of money, I can buy a few acres of good land for my father, do you say?
On weekdays, the eldest and third family who have divided the family list are rarely seen to get meat not to mention, and even seasonal vegetables can't be put on the table, although the eldest brother and the third brother are both helping their parents to do things, but by the way, they also did a share of their four rooms; A small improvement in life, he can be regarded as repaying so much with his own method!
Li Mingde, the third child squatting on the side, glanced sideways expressionlessly, and lowered his head silently, he would not express his opinion, even the eldest brother had nothing to do with the fourth brother, the fourth brother had a father and mother to cover, and from time to time he could find some ways to earn some small money from outside and give it to his mother, what opinions could others have if he didn't want to work more?
Mengfan's mother, Li Chen, scooped a scoop of water by the bucket and poured it into a big red washbasin, this wooden basin was brought by the fourth family Li Yang from her mother's family to dowry, she is also a master who looks generous enough to give her in-laws a long face, and she does not hide her selfishness. The mother-in-law of the fourth child will not hide from the farm like the fourth child, and she is even worthy of a man's strong labor......
For Li Cheng's family, a woman marries her husband, and even her own man has nothing to fight for, so can she still speak as a woman? Therefore, she just silently helped her son wipe the stains on his face with a wet handkerchief, and she listened to the conversation between the old men and put it in her heart!
Granny Li, who was listening to the words in the kitchen, walked out, glanced at her sons one by one, didn't speak, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue her work. The old man took a big puff, and when he was too satisfied, he bent down and knocked the cigarette pot on the ground gently, and the remaining little tobacco in the cigarette pot fell to the ground.
