Mrs. Li hurriedly beckoned them into the house for tea.

Then he asked Jia Xi Jia'an to go to the field and called Li Laosan and Li Laosi back.

Soon, the hall was full.

The village chief is also cheerful and straightforward, explaining his intentions.

"Big sister, we came here to discuss.

My six brothers, together they have twenty acres of land.

But they are not in good health, and it is very laborious to plant every year.

Moreover, if the harvest is delayed, there will be only one ration left in addition to the grain tax.

Originally, it was all fertile land, and if you plant it well, you can always earn two taels of silver a year.

It's a pity.

So, I came here today just to ask.

Do you want to take these 20 acres of land next?

Your family has a lot of labor, and these 20 acres should be busy.

In the autumn, in addition to paying the grain tax.

Just leave a ration for me old brothers.

Of course, there are some small tasks in the field on weekdays, and they can also do them together.

No one will be lazy if they can.

You see, can it be done? ”

Mrs. Li was a little stunned when she heard this, and turned her head to look at her three sons.

They were also accidents.

"Brother village chief, speaking of which, are the old brothers too much of a loss?

Otherwise, the ground will be planted by you.

When we're done at home, we're going to help you. ”

"No, it's not like that."

Uncle Zhao next door was the first to speak.

"Big sister, we are all half-crippled people.

Every year in spring and autumn, I can't bear the heavy physical work.

Looking at the good fields, the planting is messy.

We don't feel good about it.

If you take it at home, it won't happen again.

As for us, we're going to help you a little bit.

In autumn, take a ration and starve to death. ”

The rest of the old men also helped.

"yes, I'm three acres of land.

Last year, only two acres were planted, and it was the help of the villagers. ”

"It's a shame that it fell into the hands of us cripples."

Mrs. Li saw that they were sincere, and the ten acres of land at home were indeed a little less.

She thought about it for a moment and said.

"I know that the old brothers are kind and take care of our family.

But our family can't take advantage of you, after all, it's not easy to live.

In this way, our family took over the twenty acres of land.

Don't say it, you only need one ration in autumn.

In the future, what our family eats, you eat.

Even if there is no harvest in the field, there will be no shortage of your food. ”

"That's not going to happen!" The old men immediately objected.

Although the Li family's life is also tight, because they have many children, they can't be frugal.

The food of the Li family on weekdays is the best in the village.

I often buy white rice and fine noodles and come back, not to mention, Tao Hongying will also bring meat dishes back when she goes to the stove.

If they eat with the Li family in the future, the Li family will have to raise six more mouths, but it will be too much of a loss.

"yes, we just need a few bags of sorghum."

"When you're old, you can't do any work, just stutter."

The two brothers Li are soft-hearted and take care of the old man on weekdays.

At this time, it is natural to persuade.

"Uncle Zhao, just listen to my mother.

Our brothers will farm the land well, and we will just need to collect more grain in the autumn. ”

"yes, it's very troublesome for you to start a gang on weekdays.

Didn't I cook sorghum rice the day before yesterday, so I don't have to eat it in the future. ”

Li Laosan was really honest, and he blushed when he opened his mouth.

There is no woman in the family, and they usually mess around.

It's a common thing that the rice is boiled...

Mrs. Li made a final decision, "Then it's done, the village chief is here, just to write a paperwork."

Later, the fields of several old brothers were planted by our family.

Then we have food for our family, and add two sets of clothes, shoes and socks a year.

Write them all down, and if someone gossips in the future, we are not afraid. ”

Several old men were excited to hear it.

In this way, it is simply beyond their imagination.

Eat and dress, you don't have to worry about it in the future.

Uncle Zhao hurriedly said, "Write one more sentence in the paperwork."

In the future, the family will chop wood and grow vegetables, and it will be ours.

Don't rob anyone, we can still do these jobs. ”

"Okay, that's it."

The village chief slapped the table, his face turned red with excitement, and urged Li Lao Er to hurry up and write the paperwork.

Li Lao Er took a pen and paper and wrote carefully and clearly.

Then the three brothers and the six old men all pressed their handprints.

In the end, it is the village chief who is the witness.

For a while, everyone was happy.

After sending the old men and the village chief, Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and didn't speak for a long time.

Jiayin struggled to her feet and rubbed her grandmother's frowning brow.

Mrs. Li came back to her senses and kissed her granddaughter with a smile.

Then he called out to his sons to speak, "We have added 20 acres of land to plant, and our family's manpower is still a little insufficient."

In this way, you go to the cattle and horse market to have a look, and buy a mule and come back.

It's better to bring a cart with you, it's convenient to pull things.

In the future, Hongying's guys on the stove have a lot of things, or pick up and drop off Jiaren, and they can also use it. ”

When Li Lao Er heard about it, he was excited.

Adding livestock to the family is a big deal.

Mules are not as fast as horses, but they are good at serving and have good physical strength.

Whether it is planting the land and pulling the plough stick, or pulling the cart to hurry, it is a good hand.

More than a donkey, it is a good helper to get by.

But the price...

"Mother, I'm afraid that if it costs twenty taels of silver, will the family be embarrassed?"

Mrs. Li waved her hand and reassured her sons.

"Don't be afraid, there are more than sixty taels at home, enough to spend."

Only then did Li Lao Er and the others become happy and shouted.

"Tomorrow is the Niuma Market in the north of the county, let's go and have a look."

"Yes, it's best for each village to ask as well, in case there is a suitable one."

"In the future, I don't have to borrow the village chief's donkey cart."

Mrs. Li patted her granddaughter, and she was also smiling.

There is no idiot like Wu Cuihua at home, so you don't have to be wary of her all the time.

It is also convenient to speak, and no one is involved in discussing anything.

And at this time, Wu Cuihua, who was remembered by Mrs. Li, was really in dire straits.

She sat on the ground, patting her thighs and crying.

In a blink of an eye, it has been a month since I was kicked out by my family.

The food given by the Li family was enough for her to eat alone.

Originally, she ate all day and slept and ate.

Occasionally go out to gossip and see the excitement.

Life should also be good.

But Wu Ergou also lives here, grab this bite of food.

He gets up early to eat and leaves, hangs in the casino for a day, and comes back in the evening to eat and sleep.

It's really much more comfortable than living in a fixed place before.

This is bitter Wu Cuihua, tighten her belt, and eat tightly with her younger brother.

Everyone is fat during the New Year, but she has lost a lot of weight.

Today, Li Lao Er came to deliver food again, and she was happy to have a full meal.

As a result, as soon as I turned around, the grain bag was gone.

"Who killed a thousand knives, actually ran to my house to steal food.

Why don't you thunder and kill him!

Something that has no offspring, something that has rotten claws! ”

At this moment, in the courtyard, every family is cooking.

She sat at the door, scolding like this, and naturally everyone could hear it clearly.

lived a good life, and suddenly was deducted from the hat of a thief.

No one wants to.

So, there is the bad temper who came out.

"The surname is Wu, before you open your mouth to scold, do you have to wipe your eyes.

You're blind, and we're blind.

There is a thief living in your house, and you have lost your things, and you have relied on others.

Why do you have such a big face! ”

Wu Cuihua jumped up from the ground with a snort, pinched her waist and scolded back.

"Whose house do you say has a thief?

You're blind!"
