"But isn't it, you see that after the Li family came, our village was a lot more lively!"

Today, it was the turn of a piece of land in the south of the village, Jia An was pouting his ass to cut sorghum ears, and saw Mrs. Li walking over from the edge of the ridge with Jiayin in her arms, and she was busy catching up.

"Milk, why are you here? The sun is shining, my sister should be hot. ”

Jiayin's white and tender little face, at this moment, the bones are rolling around with big eyes, which is very cute.

Jia An wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes, and then took out a slingshot from his arms and showed it to his sister, "Sister, look at this, this can shoot birds, drive Brother Ming'er to dig bird eggs for you to eat!" ”

The slingshot was made very finely, and the wooden handle was probably rubbed by people in the past, smooth and rounded.

"Babble!" Jiayin also played with it when she was a child in her previous life, and when she was curious, she stretched out her little hand to grab it, and Jia An put the slingshot in her hand.

Mrs. Li saw that the slingshot was not like the one at home, so she casually asked, "Where did the slingshot come from?" ”

"Uncle Zhao gave it, Grandpa Zhang also gave it, and Brother Jiayi also got a small dagger, it's beautiful!" Jia An's little head was raised, as if showing off their booty.

Hearing that it was given by those veterans, Mrs. Li didn't say anything.

These days, all the people who help the Li family are like making an appointment, and they have sent things to the Li family, dried vegetables, sauce, mustard gnocchi, etc., everything is complete, and it is not possible to accept it!

Mrs. Li understood that this was the gratitude of the villagers, and slowly she did not refuse, and in the future, she would make food at home and send it back.

"Little Fu Niu'er is here again!" The second sister-in-law in the west of the village brought water to her man, and when she saw Mrs. Li from afar, she hurriedly came over to say hello.

Seeing Jiayin well-behaved nestled in Mrs. Li's arms, Sun's second sister-in-law liked it so much that she took out a silk flower made of fabric from her pocket and handed it to Jiayin's hand.

"The rag head that I turned out in the cabinet yesterday is just right to make a flower for Xiaofu Niu'er to play with!" Second sister-in-law Sun saw Jiayin smiling with silk flowers, and her heart trembled when she was cute, and she raised her hand and pinched her little face.

Jiayin's skin is delicate, and even if she doesn't use her strength, her rough hands can leave a red mark on her little face.

Jiayin quickly turned her head to avoid it uncomfortably, which made Sun's second sister-in-law laugh even more, "What a little girl, you know how shy." ”

Jiayin can't complain, who is shy, obviously disgusted, okay?

Sure enough, it's not good to follow my grandmother to the field, it's better to follow my mother and them up the mountain, don't talk about it, and you can take things out of the space...

Every family in the village is busy with the autumn harvest, but there are also inside and outside, that is, the Liu family, the family is nested in the house, and no one goes out to work.

Seeing that the crops are ripe and they are not harvested, if it rains in a few days, the harvest of the year will be lost.

Guo was so anxious that her throat was about to burst into flames, but she couldn't move anyone.

As soon as Liu Tiezhu was asked to work, Liu Tiezhu hugged his stomach and shouted, and ran to the thatched house.

Liu Laifu said that he went to the county seat to find Wu Er, but there was no letter for several days.

The two daughters-in-law are even more lazy, and when they say they want to work, they run faster than anyone else.

"Mother, there are so many people in the Li family, why haven't you seen them come to help our family after helping this family in the past few days? Are we still relatives, are they so unconscionable? Liu Laifu's daughter-in-law sat on the kang, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and her tone was sour.

Guo's eyes lit up when he heard this, if he hired someone, he didn't know how much it would cost, the Li family loved to work so much, just let them help!

Thinking about it like this, she ran directly to Li's house.

"Eldest sister, where are you resting?" Guo saw that Mrs. Li was sitting at the gate of the courtyard coaxing her granddaughter, so she licked her face and leaned in.

Mrs. Li glanced at her, didn't say anything, and regretted that she didn't lock the door, and anyone could come in casually.

Guo Shi was not annoyed, he was still happy, "Eldest sister, my crops haven't been cut yet, you have a lot of family, help us cut them." ”

"My family is too busy to help you. The fourth child is coming back soon, you should go back quickly! Beware of his bad temper and throwing you out! ”

After Mrs. Li finished speaking with a calm face, she got up and went back to the house with Jiayin, without looking at Guo Shi at all.

Guo Shi touched his nose, wanted to get angry and was afraid that Li Laosi would really rush back, so he took a bite of Mrs. Li's back and scolded and walked home.

"A cold-blooded thing! Even relatives don't help! Do you think who begged them? Phew! ”

Guo scolded while walking, and when she met the villagers on the way, she scolded even harder, but none of the people in the village paid attention to her...

This year's autumn harvest in Qingshui Village was completed several days earlier than usual thanks to the help of the Li family.

The villagers of Qingshui Village were really close and friendly when they saw the Li family.

"Is Yusheng at home?" This morning, as soon as the Li family had breakfast, they heard the voice of the village chief at the gate of the courtyard.

Li Lao Er answered, and quickly got up and went out.

"Yusheng, I remember that you have been a bookkeeper, and I want to ask you for help with something." The village chief directly explained the intention.

When Li Lao Er heard him say this, he guessed that it was a matter of writing and arithmetic, so he agreed, "Okay, uncle, you have something to order." ”

"Tomorrow is the day when the county officials come to collect the grain tax, and I want you to help settle the account."

Sure enough, when the village chief mentioned the matter of paying the grain tax, he sighed heavily, and said, "In the past, I was busy working by myself every year, and there were many veterans and elderly villagers in the village, who didn't understand this, and those tax collectors always fooled them while I was busy with my work, and collected a lot more grain..."

Autumn food is the foundation of survival in winter, but the black-hearted magistrates and officials don't care about this, they still point to the grain tax to make a lot of money.

When Li Lao Er heard this, he hurriedly agreed, "Uncle, don't worry!" Tomorrow our family will go to help, and we will never let the people in the village suffer again! ”

"Hey, Yusheng, I'll thank you for the big guy first." The village chief patted Li Lao Er's shoulder with satisfaction, very happy.

He became more and more determined, and it was a great good thing for Qingshui Village to agree to the Li family to settle down at the beginning!

After the village chief left, Li Lao Er went back to the house and told Mrs. Li about it, and the Li family agreed to help.

Only Wu Cuihua'er was sitting on the edge of the kang, holding two pickpocketed chestnuts in her hands and stuffing them into her mouth.

"Always take care of this idle business, no one has done my own work yet!" She muttered and resented, and did not dare to speak out loud, like a mouse stealing food in the gutter.

Everyone in the family heard it, but no one paid attention to her, so she couldn't hear it, otherwise she would be in a bad mood if she thought about it, wasting her effort.

The next day, before dawn, the Li family got up early, lit the fire to cook, and went to the village chief's house after cleaning up.

The grain tax collected in Junyang County is carried by the villagers in each village, who move the tax and grain they have to pay to the open land in the village, and wait for the government officials to calculate it and transport it away with the donkey cart in the government office.

The Li family has a lot of hands, so they inevitably have to go door to door to help carry food bags. Especially Li Laosi and Jiayi, carrying a hundred and ten catties, their faces are not red or panting, and they can see that the villagers are envious.
