Zhou Cuihua smiled, she had a place to stay, and she was not afraid of wind and rain, "I'll go back and move my things over, clean up, and live here tonight." ”

"I'm going to tell a few people in the village to hurry up and bring the things over, and if they occupy the space, it's their own." Village Chief Li has already figured out who to call over, a total of eight caves, which can accommodate at least eight families.

Most of the strong labor is there, enough to ensure safety.

Li Dabao and Liu Paner also hurried back and brought all the bedding and brooms at home.

Li Rong asked, "Mother, where are we going to move?" ”

"Your brother found a few big caves, and our family chose the largest one, and you led your younger brothers and sisters to follow me and carry our family's jar of realgar powder." Liu Pan'er replied, taking things while instructing Li Rong.

Li Rong's eyes lit up, "Big cave, great, when the time comes, get a few more bamboo beds, so you don't have to huddle together." ”

Liu Paner set up the ox cart and put the luggage and packages, pots and pans on the ox cart. Finally, he hugged Li Nan and Li Xiaobao to the ox cart, "Let's go, come back and pull the bamboo bed again." ”

Others, seeing Liu Paner like this, asked one after another.

Liu Paner just smiled and said that she had found a cave, a better place to stay.

Village Chief Li selected six other households, people with good character and diligence.

As soon as these people heard that there was a cave, they were of course interested, at least when it was windy and rainy, they didn't have to worry about the bamboo shed collapsing and flooding.

Li Dazhuang is not very smart and has a relatively straight personality, but he remembers the words of his old mother, they will do whatever the village chief does. So Li Dazhuang hurriedly ran home, carried his frail old mother on his back, and followed behind Liu Paner's ox car.

Li Rong got down from the ox cart and beckoned, "Uncle Zhuang, you put Grandma Li on the ox cart." ”

Li Dazhuang smiled innocently, "No need, Ah Rong, I can carry it." ”

Liu Pan'er looked at the filial Li Dazhuang and urged, "Da Zhuang, it's quite far, hurry up and put your wife in the car, you are brisk, and your wife can be more comfortable." ”

"Da Zhuang, listen to your sister-in-law." Aunt Li smiled and looked at Liu Pan'er, "Yuanqing's family, my family is strong and filial, along the way, if it weren't for me, my family would not have suffered such a big crime." ”

Aunt Li sighed, along the way, either her son Da Zhuang carried her on her back, or she took the village chief's ox cart and affected others.

Liu Paner said with a smile: "Auntie, Da Zhuang is filial, you, you have to be happy, Da Zhuang is happy!" Isn't it strong? ”

Liu Paner actually admires Li Dazhuang, a young man, who is very upright and filial. No matter how hard it is, I will never leave my old mother.

When Aunt Li heard Liu Paner's praise, she smiled, and her heart was as sweet as drinking honey, "The more sensible Da Zhuang is, the more uncomfortable I am." Hey, if it weren't for me, Da Zhuang would have been easier. After all, it was I who dragged down Da Zhuang. ”

She was too weak to do heavy work, and she was panting even when she was cooking, walking a few steps, and could only pick wild vegetables. The mother and son were divided into less than four acres of land. Against the families who have more than a dozen acres of land, they have less land, and they will become poorer and poorer in the future.

Coupled with the drag of her old mother, her son Li Dazhuang's life is even more difficult.

Li Rong likes Aunt Li very much, and once Aunt Li gave her wild fruits to eat, "Grandma Li, don't think like that." If it weren't for you, my eldest uncle would marry his daughter-in-law and have children in the future, and there would be no one to cook for the children. My uncle and aunt can only watch the children alone, and work outside alone, how tiring! ”

As soon as she heard this, Aunt Li smiled, looked at Li Rong's eyes, quite kind, and also very melancholy, "At the beginning, your eldest brother was married in his hometown, but now he is fleeing everywhere, and there is no news, but it is a pity that I gave a dowry of two taels of silver." We haven't fully settled down yet, and we don't live in a place where there is a village or a store in front of the village, so it's difficult to say goodbye. ”

Li Dazhuang heard his mother mention the family matter, and his face was slightly red, "Mother, don't worry about it." ”

"Don't worry about how to do it, it's similar to you, the child can make soy sauce." Aunt Li retorted, worried in her heart, afraid that her son would beat a bachelor.

Liu Pan'er smiled, "Da Zhuang is working, when the grain is harvested, we have money, we can build a house, we can talk about relatives, everything will fall into place." ”

"I hope so." Aunt Li sighed, "It's just that my family has less than four acres of land, plus the three acres of wasteland that Da Zhuang himself opened later, adding up to only seven acres of land, and I don't know when I will be able to save enough money to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Liu Paner thought about it, and her acres of tomatoes, melons, and croissant honey needed bamboo poles to build shelves. Just relying on her and her sister-in-law Liu, plus the children, it took a lot of work.

In addition, the fruits of her garden are rare things, and if anyone thinks it is good, he will come and steal it. She can't watch from the ground every day!

Liu Paner felt that Da Zhuang was real, so he hired Li Da Zhuang to help look after the melon field, and after selling the things, he would pay the wages.

Thinking of this, Liu Pan'er said slowly: "Auntie, Da Zhuang is honest and honest, the few acres of land I opened will be alive when the time comes, and I will hire Da Zhuang to help my family work." It doesn't matter if your family has little land, you can grow enough food to eat, save your wages, and your life will get better and better in the future. ”

Li Dazhuang felt that Liu Paner had the ability, "Sister-in-law, do you really hire me to work?" ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "That's right, those seeds I bought in the county seat are said to be the seeds of Fanbang, maybe they can be sold for money if they grow something new." ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, it's okay if you don't give money, but you have to take care of the food." Li Dazhuang smiled honestly and scratched his head.

Yuan Qing's sister-in-law's family often eats meat, he is greedy, but he wants to eat it.

Aunt Li glared at her son, "Just know how to eat, your sister-in-law Yuanqing has helped us a lot along the way, if there is something, you will help!" ”

"My brother still settles the accounts, Da Zhuang works for my family, and I will pay for the wages and food. Even if I don't have any money now, I can owe it, and I will give it when I have it, and I will never pay the bill. Liu Paner said with a smile, first say hello to Aunt Li, Li Dazhuang's mother and son.

Li Dazhuang agreed, "Sister-in-law, it's decided." Find me for work! ”

Now that I have turned a corner and entered the valley, I suddenly became enlightened.

"Yo Ho, there's such a good place here." Li Dazhuang was surprised, followed Liu Pan'er to the door of a cave, and looked at the big inside, "Mother, you rest at my sister-in-law's place first, and I'll go find a bigger cave, even if we don't build a house, we can survive this winter." ”

After speaking, Li Dazhuang carried a large package and a broom, looking for a suitable cave, but coincidentally, he took a fancy to the third cave, although it was not too big, it was very smooth, and it was clean, there were no snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Li Dazhuang put the things at the door, lit a torch, smoked them, and cleaned them thoroughly. Take a broom and clean it inside and out.
