Besides, Mrs. Li returned with a full load of climbing plows, because when she arrived in the village, it was already a little dark, and few people in the village saw it. Old man Li and his sons and daughters-in-law heard the movement, and took it out happily, and warmly beckoned Chen Er to come into the house to drink saliva to warm up his body. Chen Er was worried that it would be difficult to walk in the dark, so he smiled and said a few words of gossip before turning around and going back.

When Mrs. Li entered the house, the first thing she did was to take a box of snacks and send her grandchildren to play in the back room. Sister-in-law Li was a little reluctant, and wanted to step forward to snatch back half a box from her son. Mrs. Li stopped her, and shouted to her second daughter-in-law to close the door of the house, and then she thought carefully about selling the bean sprouts in the restaurant in a low voice.

Li Da and Li Er and his wife heard that there was such a big good thing, and they were so happy that they didn't know what to say. But when they turned their heads and saw their father's dark face, they suddenly felt like they had been poured a basin of cold water on their heads, which completely cooled their hearts.

Especially Li Er, he remembered the few times he went to the city to sell mung beans, and when he went home to get those slaps from his father, he had no hope of luxury.

Mrs. Li really didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, and felt sorry for her son and daughter-in-law so frustrated, so she stepped forward and sat down in front of the old man and persuaded, "Old man, I know you don't like your son to do business, but our family is too poor now, and it would be good to be able to fill your stomach by planting that little bud in the field."

During the Chinese New Year, I can't make new clothes for my grandchildren and cut a few catties of pork, if I continue to live like this, what hope is there? The mung beans at home can't be sold, so it's better to send some bean sprouts to make some money.

We're not greedy, even if we only earn back twenty taels of silver this winter, let's save up, and when our grandson is two years older, we'll send him to the school to study..."

"Don't say it," Old Man Li opened his mouth to interrupt the old lady's words, picked up the copper smoking pot in his hand and knocked it on the table, and finally sighed heavily and responded, "I didn't want the second child to get involved in the business, because I was afraid that the reputation would be bad and delay our grandson's future study and scientific examination." Our Li family has been a farmer for generations, and I hope that my grandson can glorify his ancestors.

But the last time the second child got into trouble, a guy in the restaurant easily solved the disaster of our family. I thought, maybe I was wrong before, no matter what happens to my grandson in the future, I have to raise him well now for him to study, and these are all indispensable for silver..."

Mrs. Li and her sons and daughters-in-law originally thought that the old man was going to be angry, but they didn't expect to hear him say such a thing, and they all widened their eyes with joy. Mrs. Li even pulled the old man's hand and asked in a loud voice, "Old man, have you agreed to send bean sprouts and sell them for silver?" ”

Old man Li's old face turned red, and he quickly shook off the old lady's hand. Turning his head and glancing at his son and daughter-in-law, he didn't seem to see it, so he coughed twice and responded, "I should do this, but this bean sprout can't be sent in our house." There are many tongues in the clan, and it is easy to get into trouble. I see, let's borrow our daughter's yard for use, and it will be convenient to come to the city to get it when the time comes. ”

"That's what Daddy said."

"Yes, Dad is too thoughtful."

Li Da and Li Er's husband and wife heard that the old man only had such a request, and naturally 11 million agreed. For them, it was a big surprise that the old man agreed to take the job, and the rest of the little things were not a problem at all.

The family discussed carefully for a while, and finally decided that Sister-in-law Li and Li Er and his wife would go to Chunni's house to make bean sprouts, leaving Boss Li to do some small work at home. After some time, Li Er will come back to replace him.

Mrs. Li was worried about it, for fear that she would not be able to catch up with the day when the restaurant picked up vegetables, so she immediately dressed up mung beans and drove her son and daughter-in-law out.

Sister-in-law Li and sister-in-law each picked up a small package, and followed Li Er into the vast night. Although the snow on the road was thick and the sky was dark, the three of them did not feel hard at all. Nangou Village in front of them is where all hope lies, as long as they work hard, their children can study and get ahead, and the family can live a good life...

Pucao kneaded the noodles and rolled out the noodles at night, and made a hot noodle soup with the bone broth left over from noon. The two or three catties of bean sprouts that were deliberately left before were also fried by her with bacon and garlic sprouts, and when they were brought to the table, Chunni and the two children were cheering.

Originally, they thought that they would not be able to taste it until the next time when the bean sprouts were made, but they didn't expect the grass to be left behind. Although Zhang Guier's face did not show joy, her eyes kept sweeping the white, tender, and crisp small bean sprouts on the plate.

The magpie automatically and consciously helped everyone to serve the noodles, and when she was about to retreat to the door to guard, she didn't want to Pucao but reached out to stop her, and said lightly, "Sit down and eat together, it's not good if the noodles are cold." ”

The magpie stood stunned, wondering if the new master had come up with something to torture her, or if something was required of her. Otherwise, how could you suddenly treat her so close? For a moment, her mind was so confused that she didn't know how to respond.

Chunni is a cheerful person, seeing her like this, she simply pulled her to sit next to her, stuffed a pair of chopsticks into her hand, and said with a smile, "Let you eat, there are not many people in this family, and you can eat twice, it's not too troublesome." ”

The two children also looked at the magpie with a smile, and Peach Blossom even gave her a chopstick bean sprout. For some reason, the magpie suddenly felt a little sour in her nose, and she hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to take a big gulp of soup.

When they saw this, they smiled at each other, and began to eat and drink while gossiping.

Only the corners of Zhang Gui's eyes swept over the magpie, and his brows were furrowed. In his opinion, the master should have the posture of the master, how can a slave and maid be on an equal footing with them. But this yard is Pucao's home, and he doesn't agree with it in his heart and it's not easy to say it, so he hastily ate a bowl of noodles and went back to the room, without even tasting a bite of bean sprouts.

Peach Blossom blinked and asked, "Why doesn't the second brother eat bean sprouts, how delicious they are." ”

Pu Cao smiled and put some more into the bowl for her, and responded, "Your second brother Xu likes to eat meat, and tomorrow my sister-in-law stews braised pork, and he will eat more." ”

"I love meat too!" Shanzi was holding noodles in his mouth, and when he heard this, he hurriedly echoed loudly.

Pu Cao stretched out her hand and knocked him, and said angrily, "There are no rules, I can't speak with food in my mouth." ”

Shanzi hurriedly swallowed the noodles, and stuck out his tongue with a flattering smile.

Everyone laughed at him, and at this moment, the three members of the Li family finally arrived all the way. As soon as she saw that her sister-in-law's house was pitch black, Li's sister-in-law and Li's second sister-in-law came to Zhang's yard familiarly.

When Chunni and Pucao saw that these two sisters-in-law were covered in the same body as snowmen, they were so shocked that they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here this big night, but is there something urgent at home?" ”

Sister-in-law Li was so tired that she couldn't be polite, so she untied the mung beans and packages on her shoulders, and gasped for a long time before she said, "There is nothing to do at home, but my father and mother are worried about the gossip of the people in the village, and they want us to come over and borrow your house for use." ”

Pu Cao helped Li's second sister-in-law pat the snow foam on her body, and the magpie also cleverly sent two bowls of hot tea. Second sister-in-law Li drank a few sips, and then she felt much warmer, and finally remembered that her man was still outside the door, so she hesitated and asked, "Pucao girl, my second child is still waiting outside the door." If you don't mind, just let him in and warm up, okay? ”

"Of course it's okay, isn't there still Chunni in the house, no one will gossip, let the second brother come in." Pucao naturally responded, and Chunni also ran to open the door and shouted her second brother.

Soon, Li Er'er walked in with a smile on his face with a snowflake on his head.

Pu Cao guessed that the three of them must not have eaten, so she hurriedly went to the stove to heat a few leftover steamed buns. Li Er'er was still a little restrained and didn't dare to do it, but Li's sister-in-law and sister-in-law had long been familiar with Pucao, and knew that her sister-in-law was as close as her sisters, so she smiled and said, "I'm just in a hurry now, and I really haven't had dinner, so we won't be polite." ”

Chunni was busy adding soup and vegetables to her brother and sister-in-law, and asked about her father's plan, and finally agreed, "Daddy is right about this, it's a trouble in our village." I lived here in Pucao, and my son kept vigil in the vegetable shed, and my house was always empty. It just so happens that the two sisters-in-law live in one room, and the second brother lives in the other. The bean sprouts basket can be placed in any room, burn warmer, and the window will be covered with a straw curtain. ”

Sister-in-law Li and sister-in-law also heard her mother-in-law talk about the simple process, and at this time, she saw that her sister-in-law had arranged it properly, and she was even more relieved. After everyone was full of food and drink, Chunni took her brother and sister-in-law back to her house, and the kang shop was busy. Liu Housheng heard Xin'er also rushed back to gossip a few words, so he tossed until midnight before the two families fell asleep.

Since then, the three members of the Li family have settled in Chunni's house, carrying water, burning firewood, and watering bean sprouts every day, and they are very busy. Sister-in-law Li and sister-in-law Li were grateful to Pucao in their hearts, and as long as they were free, they would go to Pucao's house to help do some needlework.

So, when the shopkeeper came to the door again, all the bedding in Pucao's house, even the magpie set, was replaced with a new one. Pu Cao couldn't stop it a few times, but then thought that maybe it was like this, and they could feel better, so they didn't stop it. On weekdays, she asked Chunni to take more food to them at home, which was her thank you gift.

In addition to the 100 catties of bean sprouts in his own restaurant, he also brought 100 catties for other restaurants, which just wrapped the fruits of the Li family's three labors.

Li Er'er carried a heavy 700 copper coin, and he was so happy that he was stupid. They had only been busy for five days, and they had earned so much money. Thinking that their family has never done anything bad, this may be God's blessing.

Sister-in-law Li and sister-in-law Li remembered that the children in the family would not have to suffer in the future, and their eyes were red, and Chunni stepped forward to hug them and comfort them.

Seeing that the Li family was so excited, not only did they not have the slightest contempt on their faces, but sighed and said, "It's not easy for the peasant family to live." ”

After sending away the shopkeeper Luo who pulled the plough full of vegetables and vegetables, the Li family thought that their parents at home must be worried, so Li Er'er put on a coat, carried the string of copper coins and trotted home to report the good news.
