Chapter 75: I'm the Best Mother-in-law (To Stand Up)
After a while, Liu Zhengjiang's voice came: "Mother, she will get up in a while." ”
After speaking, Liu Ye heard the sound of them squirming and getting dressed, as well as Liu Zhengjiang's urging.
Pouting, Liu Ye really felt that she could be a perfect evil mother-in-law.
It was impossible for her to cook on the fire and serve the family.
Suddenly found that feudal society is also good in feudal society, at least the children dare not respect the elderly, do not support, disobedient to her will be spit on and condemned by the whole society, and even eat lawsuits.
The door of the hall in the west wing was opened, and Liu Zhenghe came out and said, "Mother, you got up so early, Ziqin's room has been boiling water, I brought it over and you can wash your face first." ”
Although Liu Ye felt that it was early autumn, the weather was not too cold, and it was no problem to wash with cold water, but since it was her son's filial piety, she still smiled, so as not to chill her son's heart.
"Hmm."
After washing, Liu Ye said that he would go outside for a walk and come back for breakfast.
Although there was a white banquet the day before, there was really no food left, so it took time for Yu Caidi to cook for the family.
walked out of the gate slowly, and this time declined his son's kindness to go out with him.
Liu Ye wanted to see if there were any Chinese herbs in the fields outside the village that she could use.
The village is surrounded by a large river, and the only way out of the village is a stone bridge two horses wide.
Behind the village is a whole field of fertile land and then all the way to the foot of the mountain.
The source of the river comes down from the mountains.
Moreover, the village is not far from the county seat, and it will be faster with a horse-drawn carriage.
It's a pity that the Liuye family doesn't raise horses, but they have cows and ox carts, and they can be regarded as people who have carts.
Her home is at the head of the village, and the roads in the village are all stone roads, only the entrance of the village to the door of the three Liu houses is a stone road.
Liu Ye walked on the gravel road to the end of the village, at this time the sky was just dawning, but the diligent people in the village had already gotten up.
At least in every house that passed, people got up to do their work, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking came out.
On the way, I also met a few villagers with sickles, and they simply greeted them, knowing that they were going to harvest early-maturing autumn rice.
Except for two acres of land for the Liu Ye family, the rest of the land was tenanted to the villagers.
And her family planted later, and it was basically the last harvest every year.
This year, Liu Ye is thinking that it is better to save some expenses, and let the two sons harvest it when the time comes.
Otherwise, you will rely on these thirteen acres of tenant land to collect rent for others to live, and life will be too tight.
Of course, not all the fields are in this village, there are also in the next neighboring Yujia Village, where the fields are also close to the water source, but the harvest is much smaller than that of the tenants in this village after being tenanted to the in-laws.
In previous years, it didn't matter if Liu Ye was not in charge, but now it is different from the past, Liu Ye feels that it is better to be tough and collect it all.
There is no reason to use your own money and food to support your family.
Well, I'll deal with it when I get back.
At the end of the stone road is the last one at the end of the village.
When the willow leaves stepped on the dirt soil, they found that the weeds on both sides of the road were not even growing, but if they grew well, they were cut home by the diligent villagers to feed the poultry.
I also think that my grandchildren will always grow up, well, just raise a few chickens and let them be responsible for feeding, so that it is easy to cultivate brother and sister feelings when doing things together.
Alas! She really broke her heart for the sake of family harmony.
After a simple swing and a slow rush home, I was hungry, and the eldest daughter-in-law should make breakfast.
When I got home, except for Gu Ziqin's mother and daughter and Liu Jing'an, everyone else had already gotten up.
When Liu Shuhe saw her enter the door, she hurriedly handed the dinner plate in her hand to the eldest brother beside her, and ran over directly: "Mother, you're back, you're tired, we've already made breakfast." I'm still thinking about whether to ask my second brother to look for you outside. ”
"I'm an old woman who can lose two steps in the village."
Before entering the hall, Liu Ye went directly to the well and washed his hands first.
Sure enough, breakfast was ready, but breakfast was very simple, one bowl of porridge per person, and two plates of pickles in front of him.
After the family had breakfast quietly, Liu Ye said to Mrs. Gu: "Please trouble the old sister to cook a bowl of sugar eggs for Ziqin, although you can't eat meat if you want to keep filial piety, but a few eggs are still fine." ”
She was so attentive to her daughter, Mrs. Gu was very happy, and she went to the kitchen after she got off.
The others didn't react, but Yu Caidi looked up at Liu Ye, wanting to speak but not daring to speak, and finally kicked Liu Zhengjiang, and was scolded by Liu Zhengjiang.
Liu Ye looked at her and said, "Huzi is small, he is still growing his body, and his nutrition has to keep up, you boil a boiled egg for him every day." ”
"Thank you, mother." Yu Caidi still appreciates it, one a day, that's a lot. Although he didn't eat it, his son had this treatment, which means that he is still favored.
Then Liu Ye said: "You have to keep filial piety at home, you can't do many things, Meimei, you take Shuhe to copy the scriptures every day, and burn them to your second brother when you finish copying." Caidi is responsible for the three meals a day at home, and you can take a handle when you are empty. ”
After they all responded, Liu Ye continued: "Zhengjiang Zhenghe, the autumn harvest will be soon, you two are responsible for collecting rent this year, and the fields over there in Yujia Village will receive as much as here this year." ”
Speaking of which, Liu Ye saw that Yu Caidi's face had become unsightly, obviously she also knew that her father's family paid less rent every year and left it for her own use.
Even Liu Zhengjiang's face turned red when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed to look at his second brother.
"There are also the two acres of autumn rice planted by yourself, this year the two brothers harvested it by themselves, and my mother will not spend another money to hire people."
Yu Caidi blurted out directly: "How tired you are, mother, Zhengjiang has never done it before, what can I do if I am tired." ”
Liu Ye snorted: "Who is born to do it, and can't learn it if you haven't done it?" Zhengjiang, Zhenghe, do you think you can do it? ”
"Mother, I can do it."
"No problem."
Hearing them say this, Liu Ye's face softened: "Your father is gone, as a man, you will also be the master of the house in the future, and my mother is still counting on you." You have to learn everything at home and outside of your home. I always thought that you were still young, and we could help for a few more years, who would have thought that ...... Heaven does not grant people's wishes, you must learn to stand up. ”
After saying that, the four people except Yu Caidi burst into tears.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm the boss, my father is gone, I'll do everything."
Liu Zhenghe also said that he had a family and children, and he was able to do things.
Yu Caidi watched them all cry, she couldn't cry, she could only keep her head down and keep silent.
Their statement made Liu Ye very satisfied.
