Chapter 22 The plot of Yao Pozi's love daughter
When he arrived at the head of the village, Li Lanxi woke up Li Xiaohua, good guy, I slept all the way, and I didn't know what I was eating in my dream.
Li Xiaohua was still a little confused, and when she was woken up, she realized that she was almost in the village, so she quickly wiped her saliva and prepared to get out of the car.
Originally, Grandpa Niu said that he would only charge three pennies, Li Lanxi thought that he was still running around at such an old age, it was not easy, so he still gave four pennies, looking at the old man because of a penny, he smiled and was satisfied, Li Lanxi was a little sour, these days, no one is easy, just like his own family, it is also a poor jingle, hey, my mother must be in a hurry, go back quickly.
The two stared at the sun and entered the house, only Yao Pozi was at home alone, after Li Lanxi went out in the morning, Yao Pozi has been thinking about it, and went to the village to see it twice, the sun was big, so he stayed at home again, holding the insole, sitting at the foot of the shady wall and waiting. Seeing that Li Lanxi was back, he hurriedly put down the insoles and went to serve tea.
"Girl, I'm finally back, come into the house, it's hot, my mother made tea in the morning, and I kept it in the water tank, and now it's cool."
Li Lanxi asked Li Xiaohua to put down the back basket first, and then followed Mrs. Yao into the kitchen to drink tea.
This tea is very shoddy, I want to come to pick the mountain wild tea, bitter taste, and a little astringent, fortunately it can still be drunk, how can the poor family have extra money to buy tea, just like that, it is still relatively rare, and the guests at home only take it out to brew.
Li Lanxi knew that Mrs. Yao loved her, and let her take a few sips, although it was not a precious thing, there was indeed a trace of sharing joys and sorrows.
Li Lanxi continued to put the teapot in the water tank, and waited for Old Man Li to drink it in the evening.
"Mother, I bought some plate oil and came back, let's cut it and boil it in the afternoon, otherwise the weather will be big, I'm worried about it, by the way, and this....", Li Lanxi took out the money bag in his arms and put it in Mrs. Yao's hand.
Mrs. Yao knew that she had sold it for a good price, so she immediately smiled, and held Li Lanxi's face and chirped, "It's still my daughter, I know that I make money for my mother, and my mother will save it for you, and I will give you a dowry in the future."
Li Lanxi is embarrassed, it's a dowry, why does her mother think about her own dowry when she has a little money, even if she wants to get married, the dowry must be earned by herself, so she doesn't want her mother to save it.
"Mother, I'm still young, besides, I can still make money in the future, don't keep saving, eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want, you wait and see, I promise to let you live a good life" Li Lanxi patted her chest and assured that this was originally her goal, if her mother was reluctant to do anything, what would she do if she struggled.
Mrs. Yao was even more happy when she heard it, and she smiled again and again and said, "Okay, okay, my mother is waiting for my daughter to be filial to me and let me live a good life."
Li Lanxi heard that Mrs. Yao didn't take it seriously, that is, she perfunctory her, but she didn't care, now that she said it, no one would believe it, and she would prove it with practical actions.
Mrs. Yao looked at the door and asked in a low voice, "How much silver did the wild ginseng sell?" ”。
Li Lanxi was also silent, stretching out three fingers to gessy.
"Three hundred wen?"
Li Lanxi shook her head, Yao Pozi's eyelids jumped, her eyes were blazing, three.... Three two??
Li Lanxi smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Yao's excited hands and feet don't know where to put them, three taels of silver!! The family is frugal, and they can't save two taels of silver a year, which is the existence of a huge amount of money!!
Li Lanxi saw her mother's happy appearance, and her heart was also happy, and she asked, "Mother, have your father and brothers sent food?"
Mrs. Yao slapped her thigh, put the money bag into the bag, and said busily, "It's sent, you look at me, I forgot, come on, my mother steamed egg custard for you, it's still warm, you drink it first, I'll give you the cold rice to heat it and you can eat it after a while."
Li Lanxi scooped a few bites and ate it, the taste was okay, but the water was a little too much, a little thin, thinking that Li Xiaohua didn't eat it, so she said, "Mother, give it to Xiaohua, she didn't eat either."
Yao Pozi waved her hand and said, "You eat yours, don't care about her, don't you starve her, don't you still have food, give her some in a while, and you don't work, what kind of egg custard to eat, don't get used to it day by day."
Li Lanxi knew that her mother was protecting food, so she didn't say this, "Mother, you take the things in the back basket, and we will boil the lard together for a while."
"What else are you buying?" Mrs. Yao brushed the pot and prepared hot rice, and she specially scooped up a big bowl of rice in the morning, all of which were sticky, without a single vegetable leaf, and were specially reserved for her daughter.
"Mother, go see it yourself," Li Lanxi instigated Mrs. Yao to go and see the back basket.
Mrs. Yao took a look over and exclaimed, "How can I buy so much oil, how much does it cost?"
"Mother, it doesn't cost much, and now that the farm is busy, our meals are not oily, you don't see that your father has lost weight, how can you do it if you don't eat well, boil out the oil, fry the vegetables in oil, and it is also very fragrant."
Mrs. Yao also knows that the food at home is poor, and she is usually fine, but these days the family has to be busy planting seedlings, and she can't eat well every day, and her body is not good, so she won't say anything, and she saw the pig liver and big bones in the back basket.
"Why did you buy this?"
Li Lanxi explained, "It's not to buy, it's the aunt who sells pork who said that I bought a lot of oil, so I gave these two to me, no money."
Hearing that it was not for money, Mrs. Yao wanted to be picky and say that there was nothing to eat, but she changed her words and said that the boss would do business, and it was for nothing, as long as it didn't cost money, everything was fine.
"This brown sugar is not bad, tomorrow it happens that your uncle's family will have wine, and half of it will be given as a gift, and it will be decent, hey, why do you have buns, such a big one!" Don't blame Mrs. Yao for making a fuss, she has never bought such a big bun, at most she has eaten two pennies, and she doesn't know what year it is.
"For you and your father, one for each person, when you eat, you will be hot first, and the cold one will not be so delicious."
After Li Lanxi finished eating the egg custard, put the bowl on the stove, added some water to it, soaked it first, and it was easier to clean.
Mrs. Yao's eyes turned red in an instant, not because of how valuable this thing is, but because she is happy, happy, how many years have she been at home, her son and daughter-in-law and her grandchildren are afraid of her, and she knows it. But with such a big family, everyone wants to eat with their mouths open, and they are not careful in their calculations, how can they live? Thinking that this was bought by the girl for herself, she felt bitter and satisfied, and she couldn't wait, so she took a bite of it, there was a lot of meat filling, and she added onions and garlic, which was even more delicious, and Mrs. Yao felt that it was better than big fish and meat.
Li Lanxi looked at her mother's appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, her mother had suffered before.
"Come, girl, you can eat it too, such a big one, my mother can't finish it" Mrs. Yao took a bite of the bun and put it to Li Lanxi's mouth.
Li Lanxi stuffed the bun back for her and asked her to eat, "Mother, I have already eaten it, I bought three when I bought it, I ate it on the road, these two are specially reserved for you, you eat, my mother likes it, I will buy it next time."
Mrs. Yao believed it, continued to eat steamed buns, and said vaguely, "No.... I bought it, how can I eat this thing every day.... It's not good to eat with your mouth."
Li Lanxi was afraid that she would choke, so she handed her another bowl of water, and Mrs. Yao drank a bowl of water, very satisfied.
