Chapter 52: On the Thickness of the Skin
Before he was snubbed, Li Chenlan praised him so much, and Li Erzhu felt relieved at most.
Now it's almost tears of emotion.
Li Erzhu can't wait to go back to the old house now, and refuse his own father a few more times, it's not easy! These babies in the family finally gave him a good face, and the girl no longer turned her back to him when she slept, and was willing to smile at him.
After being invited twice, Li Erzhu successfully refused, and Li Lide finally gave up.
After the separation, the two sons really got out of control, although they were unwilling, but what could they do? He wants face, is it possible for him, a father, to beg his son to go to sea again and again? The key is that even if he asks for it, it will not be used.
This second son, now only has his small family in his heart, where is his father?
Li Lide is dead-hearted, but Xiao Zhang is unwilling.
She was still worried about the bracelet and the rest of the fabric that she couldn't get back last time, but she came to the door again, and directly blocked the Wang family outside the fence wall, and couldn't even enter the yard. Xiao Zhang's anger, let's push Xiao Zhang's away, Li Erzhu protects in front of Wang's body.
No matter how much she scolds, she just won't get out of the way.
To be honest, every time I scratch Li Erzhu's face, others look at Li Erzhu miserable and sympathize with Li Erzhu. But her wife is in her fifties and almost sixty years old this year, and she is also very physically exhausted and tired, right?
In the past, I liked to use this trick because it was easy to use.
Once she splashed and rolled, no matter how bad she did, Li Erzhu compromised in minutes.
Now Li Erzhu seems to have changed as a person, no matter how she scratches or scratches, she doesn't respond, and Xiao Zhang naturally begins to feel sorry for her little strength. Besides, the traces on Li Erzhu's face from the last time she scratched are not good, and she has no place to scratch it if she wants to.
Xiao Zhang, who has no rut, can only withdraw when he is tired.
In addition to making the reputation of the Li family's second room in the village a little more unpleasant, it did not have any substantial impact on the life of the Li family's second room.
Even the rumors didn't last long.
Everyone has eyes, what was the situation when the second room of the Li family was separated, what kind of person is Li Erzhu, and who in the village doesn't know? The reason why he likes to spread rumors is just because he is jealous of the harvest of the Li family's second room during this time, and he is greedy.
Who knew that the children of Li Erzhu's family taught all the tools to the villagers.
Now, there's no need to even blush.
Envy people to catch the sea and harvest more? Then you also made your own tools to catch the sea!
This is not as good as other people's gains, so you can only blame yourself for backing it.
The people of the small fishing village are simple, except for a few particularly extreme households, who feel that the second room of the Li family must have secretly hidden the method of catching fish, and it is impossible to really tell them all the tools and methods. Most people not only stopped spreading rumors, but also helped the second room of the Li family to speak.
Wang no longer always goes home huffing when he goes out, and he is happy every day.
After more than ten days like this, Li Chenlan's life was extremely regular. Generally, in the morning, I rushed to the sea, and in the afternoon, I knitted a bracelet at home to clean up the housework, etc., and later Li Erzhu's leg was better, and the Wang family was sometimes not busy with housework, so he would follow to catch the sea.
The harvest of the Li family's second room is even more.
Fortunately, Li Erzhu made bamboo tubes and wooden barrels for loading sea goods for five or six days in a row, and there were more than ten wooden barrels in the backyard, which was enough to hold all their harvests in the sea. Not only that, but the large water tank that was used to hold water was also emptied and refilled with domestic water.
Finally, I don't have to cook a meal, and I use the basin to fill the river with water, which is so refreshing!
For this reason, Wang became obsessed with the feeling of cooking, and cooked at least five or six meals with snacks for several days in a row. Sometimes there is nothing to do, and the family says that they are overwhelmed, and they will burn a big pot of bamboo leaf tea, and then steam an egg custard or something.
Bamboo leaf tea has nothing to drink and play, and egg custard is for the children to replenish their bodies!
Seeing the wooden barrels in the backyard being filled day by day, and there were more and more good things in them, Wang's mentality was unconsciously flattened.
Anyway, the money is earned back for the children to spend.
With so many seafood, why do you have to sell it for a few taels of silver, right? A bowl of egg custard is only a few dollars, and they can afford to eat in the second room of the Li family.
It's just that the candles run out.
Li Chenlan only bought two candles in total, and she persevered until the third night, and finally died.
They were accustomed to having dinner and working by candlelight for a while. The family weaves the bracelet and the family makes the clothes. Even Li Erzhu and Song Ge'er will do some meticulous carpentry and bamboo work around the small table.
It's a mesmerizing feeling.
The candles ran out, and no one thought of reverting to the old habit of going to bed immediately after dinner.
So I had to burn a firewood in the yard again.
But no matter how cool the night is in this summer, the fire is still hot. Once or twice a while is fresh, and no one can stand it every day. Besides, they each have their own work to do, and there is always smoke from the firewood pile.
Within two days, everyone couldn't stand it anymore and could only resume the life of sleeping as soon as it was dark.
It is worth mentioning that during this period of time, Li Chenlan put her hand out.
used the method of knitting gloves in his previous life, and asked Li Erzhu, who was a father, to rub a roll of hemp rope, and made two weaving rods out of bamboo. Li Chenlan spent two afternoons knitting a glove for each person in the family.
The hemp rope is more tied to the skin, and in order to wear it comfortably, a layer of muslin cloth is placed on it.
What did you say? Why one per person, not a pair?
Hehe, knitting gloves is not tired!
Li Chenlan is a hedonist who can lie down and never sit. When rushing to the sea, it is enough to have a protected hand, and it is enough to touch things in the crevices of the reef, and it is too luxurious to use two. Before the second sister learned to make gloves, she didn't consider a pair of hands.
With the experience of making gloves, I quickly came up with this thing for foot protection.
The materials used to make straw sandals, this time it was Li Chenlan who came up with the idea and Wang made the move.
Wang's experience in weaving straw shoes is very experienced, and Li Chenlan asked her to weave a cover to cover the outside of straw shoes. However, after mentioning it, Wang quickly made it. And she is not as picky as Li Chenlan, she made two pairs of them, saying that if she wears them out, she can still change them.
Will Li Chenlan be ashamed of this? Of course not!
She took her two pairs of foot shields very cheekily, looked at the gloves and looked at the foot shields in front of everyone, and the contemptuous eyes mocked, and continued to weave the bracelet as if nothing happened.
Mortified? doesn't exist, and she doesn't do anything untouchable.
I haven't heard of a sentence that laziness is the source of social progress.
Of course, people should be diligent, and she has no opinion.
Especially when this "family" is still her own person, she can sit back and enjoy the success of her labor, then she has no opinion, hehehe!
Wang et al.: "......"
In terms of the thickness of the skin, sure enough, the Lan girl (fourth sister, fourth sister) is thicker, I can't wait more!
