Chapter Twenty-Four: The Li Family Extends an Olive Branch!

"Come on, big guy! Since their family came to our village, they have been going to the back mountains all day long to hunt game and pick mountain goods, I think they just want to hollow out our back mountains, so that we all have no picking! ”

Liu Tiezhu's daughter-in-law, whose name is Su Niang, but her personality is definitely not "vegetarian", at this time, she is standing under the big tree with her waist pinched, encouraging the villagers, and is spitting around Zhao Yuru.

Zhao Yuru's face was flushed, she was just worried about Fu Niu'er, and when she went to the entrance of the village to greet her, she was entangled by this shrew.

Tao Hongying had a hot temper, and she got along best with Zhao Yuru, her sister-in-law, so she jumped out of the car and squeezed in.

"Who is talking nonsense? The back mountain is there, and there is no rule on whose family it is, why can your Liu family go, but our Li family can't go? ”

Tao Hongying blocked her sister-in-law behind her and scolded her back without ambiguity.

Su Niang was choked for a moment, her eyes bulged like a frog, and she thought for a while before she said sharply, "Who said that you won't be allowed to go, but there are so many things on the mountain, you have all picked them, let us all pick something?"

In previous years, none of us had a big pile, but this year we didn't pick anything! If you hadn't come and robbed us, it wouldn't have happened! ”

The villagers were already looking at the pheasants, hares, salted fish hanging in the courtyard of the Li family, as well as all kinds of mountain goods to dry, but they were also moved by Su Niang at this time, and looked at Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru's gaze was a little unkind.

Tao Hongying was about to speak, but Mrs. Li hugged Jiayin and stepped forward and said, "Our family just came, and we can't harvest food in the fields, if we don't pick more mountain goods, I'm afraid we will be hungry this winter."

But it's only been a few days, after all, the autumn harvest is about to begin.

I have a lot of kids, and I want to help everyone. After all, they are all peasant families, and the big thing is to grab the grain.

Where did you think that our good thing of helping each other is a good thing, some people can't see it, and they run here to provoke, but they use everyone as guns!"

When the villagers heard this, they looked at each other, and they all woke up a little, and some people blushed and responded, "Auntie is right, they all live in the same village, but they don't want to help more." ”

"Yes, auntie, your firewood stack is a little small, when the autumn harvest is over, let's help chop more firewood."

"Okay," Mrs. Li pointed to the two sickles in Li Laosi's hand and said with a smile, "The fourth child is worried that everyone will not have enough sickles at home, so I just bought two from a friend in the city, and whoever wants to use them will come to the house to get them." ”

Jiayin was lying in the old lady's arms, and when she heard these words, she couldn't wait to applaud her grandmother. Not to mention, the old lady's mouth is really not bad, and she is also a good hand at winning people's hearts.

Sure enough, when everyone saw the two sickles, they became more and more convinced that Mrs. Li was not saying good things to deceive people, and she looked at Su Niang a little badly.

The Li family is such a good family, and it was almost separated from the people in the village because of her provocation.

Su Niang gritted her teeth with hatred, where did she dare to say anything, and ran away with an excuse to cook at home.

The crowd laughed and gossiped, and then dispersed.

When the Li family arrived at the door of the house, Mrs. Li called out to Li Lao Er, "When the donkey cart is returned, tell the village chief that our family has just arrived, and we will open two tables of banquets and invite the people in the village to be lively." ”

Li Laoer's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded, "Mother, I understand, I'll go and talk to the village chief." ”

Tao Hongying hurriedly took a basket with a few apples and pears, as well as a handful of red dates, and handed them to Li Laoer.

"I heard that the village chief's daughter-in-law is not in good health, so the second brother should take these with you."

Li Lao Er took it with a smile, but sighed in his heart, in fact, at such a time, it is best for him to bring his daughter-in-law over. He told the village chief that his daughter-in-law and son would visit the sick and get close quickly.

But thinking of Wu Cuihua'er's virtue, let her go, I'm afraid that she will eat up the fruit on the way, and she won't have a look, and if she can't get close, she will have a grudge...

The village chief was having dinner at home, and when he saw Li Lao Er coming, he hurriedly helped unload the donkey cart. Seeing the fruit sent by Li Laoer, the village chief smiled even more happily.

When Li Lao Er said that he wanted to invite wine at home, he immediately agreed.

Don't say that the Li family is so sensible, even if the Li family doesn't say it, he has to remind the villagers to walk around with the Li family often and be less bullied.

The Li family is prosperous, can write and calculate, and settling in the village is only good for the village, not harmful.

On the second day, when the sun was on the third pole, the village chief and the villagers came to Li's house one after another.

Among them, there are old men with crippled hands and feet, and there are also men in charge of various families, but there is no Liu family.

The villagers also saw it, but they didn't ask, which was tacit.

The courtyard of the Li family is spacious, and there is a special stove room in the southwest corner, and two stoves are set up with iron pots.

Tao Hongying was in charge of cooking, and Zhao Yuru and Jia Huan gave her a hand.

Wu Cuihua'er looked like she was helping, but in fact, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and she didn't do any serious work.

"Pheasant stewed mushrooms, braised rabbit meat, and sweet and sour carp, these three are big dishes, and then add a mushroom fried meat, shallots and eggs, and mix a refreshing wild vegetables." Tao Hongying has a total of six dishes, which is not much, but it is already the biggest intention of the Li family.

Mrs. Li greeted the villagers at the door with Jiayin, Jiayin's little face was pink, her big black eyes were as bright as jewels, and her cute little appearance made everyone want to make love when they saw it.

If it weren't for Jia Xijia'an guarding in front, it is estimated that Jiayin's face would have been pinched red.

By the middle of the day, the two tables in the courtyard of the Li family were already full of villagers.

Li Lao Er brought his two younger brothers to talk with everyone and drink tea.

Li Lao Er is also well-informed, and he has read books, and his speech and behavior are much smoother than ordinary villagers, which makes everyone laugh.

Some women in the village came to join in the fun, and seeing that the stove was busy, they also rolled up their sleeves and helped pick vegetables.

Tao Hongying thanked her happily and talked about gossip together, which was also lively.

There are so many people who work well, and after a while, the rich smell of meat wafts out of the kitchen.

The naughty boys in the village couldn't help but have a lot of worms in their stomachs, so they went to the door to peek and swallowed hard.

When Tao Hongying saw it, she called out to the family to be happy, took the sesame candy at home, and distributed it to the children. So Jia An Jiaxi immediately became familiar with the children and became good partners.

"Come on! Taste the wine I brought, it is the best wine I dug out from under the tree this morning and buried for three years! "The village chief brought two jars of wine by himself, probably because he didn't want the Li family to spend too much.

"Oh, it's rare that the village chief is so reluctant, let's drink a few more bowls."

Before the meal was ready, the men at the table drank a little wine and were lively.

Their hearty laughter from time to time floated over the courtyard of the Li family for a long time.

When the meals were served, the guests were surprised, no one expected that the Li family would be so generous, this big fish and meat, everyone couldn't eat so rich during the New Year!

But thinking that the Li family can buy such a big yard, it must be that the family background is not thin.

What's more, Li Lao Er is literate and hyphenated, the third is a mason, the fourth can hunt, and it is normal to live a good life, which is really enviable.
