Chapter 43: Mother and Daughter Talk
Liu Yiyu grew up in an orphanage in his previous life, and he didn't enjoy maternal love, but he felt a strong maternal love and affection in Liu Li's body, and his heart was full of warmth and touch, and it felt good to have a family and younger siblings.
Liu Yiyu's head unconsciously leaned on Liu Li's shoulder, enjoying the warmth of this moment.
"My daughter just can't sleep, come out to breathe, think about how to live in the future, fortunately this winter we have enough food, cotton clothes and quilts, let's pick up more firewood, this winter, our family is enough to survive.
It's just that the weather is hot now, and there is nothing to eat on the mountain to go home, plus this day, my daughter heard the villagers of Shangou Village say that the fields are now sold at low prices, and the paddy fields originally cost eight taels of silver per acre, but now only four taels of silver per acre, and the dry field has dropped from five taels of silver to two taels of silver per acre, and my daughter wants to buy some fields, but our family has no money, and my daughter thinks again, is there any way to make money." Liu Yiyu said softly and slowly.
"Alas! It's all because my mother is useless, she can't make any money, so that your brothers and sisters are tired." When Liu Li heard the words of the eldest sister, he felt very uncomfortable, the eldest sister is a girl's family, and she is young, and she has to bear so much on her shoulders, and it is useless to be a mother.
"Mother, you are very good at everything, that is, you like to take everything to yourself, if you are like this, the daughter will not dare to tell her mother what she has in her heart in the future, for fear that her mother will take everything to herself, which will affect the mood of her mother, we must be happy, so that the body will be healthy and live a long life." Liu Li's temperament, if it is in modern times, 100% depression patients, no wonder the ancient ladies and ladies are short-lived, these are all made by themselves, and they like to think crankily every day.
"Mother, this is ...... It's ......, I,". Liu Li heard his eldest sister say this, and it was really like this, he likes to take care of everything, and he feels sorry for himself, no wonder the second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister, and Wulang They don't like to be close to their own mother, but they are much closer to the eldest sister.
"Mother, it's useless to think about it, it's better to live the present life, this is to live in the present, and it is not in vain to waste grandpa and uncle, so that we have a chance to live, not to disappoint the dead, not to let us be sorry for grandpa and uncle, as for the rest, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, nothing will be difficult for our family, mother, the time is not early, we should also rest." Liu Yiyu saw that his mother-in-law began to think crookedly again, thinking nonsense, Liu Yiyu shook his head helplessly, and he was afraid that it would not be a matter of time to change Liu Li's temperament.
Time is easy, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the time has come to August in a hurry, and for half a month, there has not been the slightest rain, but the temperature has been rising.
Even the drought-tolerant corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes in the dry fields of Shangou Village could not withstand the hot weather and the rhythm of drought.
In the scorching summer, the villagers of Shangou Village picked up their poles and buckets, and went to the river to carry water to water the crops in the dry fields, praying that it would rain soon.
In the bamboo house of the Liu family, a kitchen was built on the left, next to the kitchen is the washroom, not far from the kitchen, is the stone pier stone table that the Liu family sisters and brothers got back from the mountain, and the right side is against the cave, a chicken coop is built, and a firewood shed is built next to the chicken coop, and the front is a vegetable field for sowing seeds surrounded by a fence of the Liu family.
Fortunately, there are three unknown big trees next to the Liujia cave, the branches of the big trees are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun, just to cover the bamboo house built by the Liu family, bringing a cool summer to the Liu family.
At this time, in August, the vegetables such as carobs, eggplants, cucumbers and other vegetables in the vegetable field sown by the Liu family have grown into a lot, and Liu Yiyu's sisters and brothers picked the vegetables back and forth between the vegetable fields, in addition to leaving a part for stir-frying and eating, Liu Yiyu washed the excess vegetables and dried them, and then pickled the beans, eggplants and cucumbers by the grandmother and mother, and kept them for eating pickles in winter.
Liu Yiyu saw that the weather was hot this year, and he was afraid that it would come later this winter, so Liu Yiyu discussed with his grandmother and mother to remove the seedlings that had grown into bad seedlings in his own vegetable plot, and Liu Yiyu planned to plant a season of sweet potatoes on the vacant land.
I hope that when winter comes, I can harvest some sweet potatoes for the winter.
Liu Yiyu took Liu Yishuang, Liu Yiya, Liu Yihao and Xun'er to loosen the soil, plant seedlings, cover the soil, water, weed, and after digging earthworms and feeding the chickens in the chicken coop, they played crazy in the empty bamboo house.
Grandma and Mother and Mother are sewing cotton clothes for Liu Yiyu's sister and brother for the winter, and Grandma and Mother raise their heads from time to time, their eyes are full of love, and they look at the Liu family sisters and brothers.
A family, each doing their own thing, a warmth fills the entire bamboo house, this home, although poor, but happy.
"The eldest sister is done, grandma melts sweet water, drinks a break, and grandma will go cook." Liu Zhang's saw the Liu family's sister and brother coming from a vegetable field, Liu Zhang's picked up the teacup next to him, and one handed a teacup to a few people.
"Grandma, I'm going to cook". Xun'er grunted, first drank the tea in the teacup, and without a pause, ran to the other end of the kitchen.
"This kid is really solid-eyed." Seeing Xun'er like this, Grandma shook her head with some tears and laughter, and she didn't know whether Grandma was happy that Xun'er was rushing to do everything, or she was distressed about Xun'er.
"Sister, I'll help Xun'er." The third sister said.
"I'll go too". The fourth sister also continued.
"Wow, ahh A cry came, and I saw the eighth sister crying, running to Liu Li's here, crying with a red face, and said, "Mother, the sixth sister scares me with insects, mother, look, this insect is going to climb on me, I'm afraid."
Eighth sister Liu Yile's head went hard to Liu Li's arms, but her head looked at the insect in the clothes behind her from time to time.
"Eighth sister doesn't cry, it's just a monkey's shell, it's a dead thing, we're not afraid." Liu Li flicked his fingers and directly bounced the monkey away from Liu Yile.
"Sixth sister, if you make fun of your younger siblings again, my mother will be angry, and I will take care of your skin later." After Liu Li comforted his eighth sister Liu Yile and didn't cry, Liu Li put on a straight face and reprimanded Liu Yimeng.
Omitted. Liu Yimeng made a grimace at Liu Yile.
After Liu Yile saw it, he twisted his head and ignored Liu Yimeng.
"Mother, I know, the sixth sister won't be in the future." Liu Yimeng saw that Liu Li's face sank, and wanted to reprimand himself, but Liu Yimeng saw this, and hurriedly responded and promised.
