Chapter 13 Self-Reliance

As soon as Wang said this, Tao Li'er and Zhang both laughed, Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then pulled Tao Li'er to sit on the stool in the hall.

"Yes, it's good that little Li'er has figured it out now, and when Li'er grows up, she can protect your mother well."

Several people sat on the stool and chatted, Tao Li'er looked at the Wang family and the Zhang family, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she had been here for so long, and finally had someone to discuss.

Although the Lin family is good to her, her temperament is too cowardly, and she is also a person who has no opinions, and she has always had a passable attitude towards the life that is now commanded by Mrs. Li.

Tao Lier, as a crossing lady, has received modern higher education, although she is only a small white-collar worker in modern times, but she is also a pursuit, and she is not interested at all in the life of others.

Tao Li'er's idea is very simple, anyway, Li Santie is dead, when she was alive, the heart of Mrs. Li's family was also long-term, and they kept squeezing their youngest son, and they had a big house and a second room.

So Tao Li'er doesn't have any love, her family concept is not particularly important, if she gets along, she will be compatible, and if she can't get along, she will be divided. Mrs. Li has been targeting her and the Lin family, so she doesn't want to stick a hot face to a cold ass.

She wants to come out alone now, but it is also risky to come out alone, because the place where she lives now is not a prosperous modern one, and as long as she has a breath, she will not starve to death.

In ancient times, what they ate and used was basically self-sufficient, and she and the Lin family had no serious financial resources, so it would be difficult for them to survive even if they were separated.

Therefore, the matter of separating the family should be considered in the long run, Tao Li'er also thought about farming, but in ancient times, it was not as good as modern, there was no chemical fertilizer, there was no machine, the land was barren, and the technical requirements for farming were relatively high.

If you really rely on that one acre and three points of land, it is estimated that Tao Li'er's mother and daughter will starve to death, Tao Li'er has also inquired in the village recently, every family is poor, basically in a state of food and clothing, and the family has a ploughing ox is considered a relatively wealthy family.

Tao Li'er looked at the Wang family and the Zhang family, and felt that she could ask them what they did to supplement the family on weekdays.

"Two aunts, you should all know the situation of our family, my father is gone, there is no man in the family, no one takes care of the land, even if my mother can plant, but she can't do much as a weak woman, Li'er can't farm, but Li'er wants to help her mother share some, Li'er wants to ask the two aunts if they usually do any easy work at home to supplement the family?"

Wang shook her head, she has a lot of strength, and the female worker can only sew some torn clothes at home, so she usually goes to the ground, and Tao Li'er is definitely not suitable.

Zhang smiled when he heard this, and then took out a bamboo basket from the other room, which contained some red, red, yellow, and yellow threads and cloth.

Tao Li'er looked at these things, and she already understood in her heart that there was actually nothing to do for this ancient rural woman, and the general female workers were better, and they were all at home to pick up some embroidered handkerchiefs, sew insoles, and make sachets and other work.

Tao Li'er had never touched the needle and thread in her previous life, and her clothes were thrown directly when they were torn, so primitive embroidery needles, she was really not good at it, she could only look at the colorful things in the bamboo basket with black lines.

Zhang looked at Tao Li'er's unfamiliar action of picking up needles and threads, and knew that Tao Li'er must not have learned female workers, and was a little dissatisfied with Lin in his heart, frowning and said: "The girl has to learn female workers since she is sensible, even if she can't learn to be proficient, but she still has to be able to do daily sewing, otherwise she will be picked by her mother-in-law when she gets married in the future, hasn't Sister-in-law Lin taught you?" ”

The Lin family must have taught Tao Li'er, but Tao Li'er didn't learn well before, and the current Tao Li'er has never touched it at all, so she gave up this directly, and Tao Li'er blushed in defense.

"My mother taught me, but I'm just dull and can't do this."

Wang and Zhang looked at each other, and they already had a deep contempt for Lin in their hearts, Tao Lian'er is thirteen years old, and now she can't go to the ground, and she can't do female workers, this mother is really ......

Tao Li'er looked at their faces, and roughly knew what they were thinking now, and silently apologized to the Lin family in her heart.

This road is not passable, then you can only take another way, Tao Li'er thought about it, the only thing she can do is probably only cooking, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, their family has nothing, what delicious food can be made.

And if she thinks about opening a restaurant, the cost is very high, she has nothing now, her sleeves are clean, she is still a thirteen-year-old child, Tao Li'er felt that it is not easy to survive for the first time.

Tao Li'er looked left and right, and suddenly saw a piece of fox skin hanging on the wall of Zhang's house, by the way, Lijia Village is located at the foot of the mountain, as the so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to draft, the villagers of Lijia Village are farming on weekdays, but there are still a few hunters, for example, Zhang's husband is a hunter.

Hunt! Fur is very valuable, as well as game...... No, it's ancient times, fur is not a luxury, and as for game, it's basically the price of meat.

Tao Li'er pouted, her thinking is still in modern times, but even if she wants to hunt, Tao Li'er just thinks about it, her small body is still forgotten.

Sighing, Tao Li'er lowered her head in frustration, Zhang and Wang looked at each other, and still wanted to help Tao Li'er, Zhang looked at a few animal skins piled up in the corner, and then said to Tao Li'er with a smile.

"Li'er, if you don't know if you follow me to the market, my man will go to the market tomorrow to sell furs, buy oil and salt, if you really want to find something to do, it is better to go to the market to try your luck."

Tao Li'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, yes, there is no chance in the poor countryside here, but it is different when she goes to the market, can she still find a teahouse restaurant and hire a chef as a chef?

Thinking of this, the depression in her heart immediately dissipated, and Tao Li'er's mood became clearer, and she couldn't help but start looking forward to it.

Seeing that Tao Li'er was so easy to pass the rain and the sunny sky, the Wang family and Zhang sighed in their hearts, they were really still a child.

Tao Li'er finally had some hope for her life, and she went home happily, Lin hid her food, and she went to the field to be busy again, Tao Li'er was careful not to alarm Li and Li Daniu, who were taking a nap.

Then she ran to the back mountain with the food, there was no way, there was still a master waiting for her to serve in the back mountain.

When she was about to get closer, Tao Li'er suddenly smelled the fragrance of roast chicken, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, she had been here for so long, she had been eating steamed buns and pickles all day long, and she had really never eaten meat, and she was going crazy as a senior foodie.
