Chapter 466: Abandoned Tragically
"Silly boy!" Mrs. Li glared at her son with disgust, and sighed at the end, "People in this world, everything they do is for themselves, and that's right, after all, people don't do it for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." But if you want to make things happen, and if you want others to make things easier for you, you have to think of ideas.
"For example, if you shout, 'Get out of the way, I'm going to pass!' Others are reluctant, after all, to make way for you, they are in trouble, and it is not good.
"You should shout, 'Hot water, spill, spill, don't get hot!' Everyone was afraid of losing money, so they immediately got out of the way.
"In the end, it's just to try to turn your business into everyone's business, and it will be smooth."
Li Laosan is not a stupid person, and began to try to draw inferences, "Mother, you said that I will take out part of the profits of the canteen, hold a calligraphy and painting competition every year, and buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone as prizes, okay?"
"In this way, the students will not think that we are businessmen doing business, but part of the academy, and they will be a little less resistant in their hearts, is it good for Jiaren and them?"
Without waiting for the old lady to respond, he continued: "The gentlemen and students of the academy all know that our family has good flowers, do you want to send a few pots once in a while, and let the gentleman tell the students about it?" The students must have only heard about it on weekdays, but they have never seen it, so that they can also increase their knowledge.
"And, there's! We can also prepare some tables and chairs to put outside the cafeteria, where there is an open space, even if you plant some ordinary flowers and plants, it is not bad to sit outside and enjoy the scenery while eating! Scholars like this kind of elegant thing, and then the canteen will not just be a place to sell food! β
Mrs. Li listened carefully to her son's words, and when she saw him dancing happily, she also laughed, "Mother doesn't understand these things, you ask Fu Niu'er." This kid has a bunch of ideas in his head, you two can discuss it. β
Saying this, the mother and son walked to the ground.
Wu Laojiu and the others were very worried, after all, this vegetable field would be handed over to their family to take care of in the future.
"Let's go back first, and I'll come back to visit the village chief in the evening, and try to make arrangements for today, so that you can settle down and start working tomorrow." Li Laosan said.
The people got into the carriage and made their way back to the town.
Jiayin had already woken up, and when she didn't see her family, she guessed that they were busy, so she asked her sister-in-law to buy sticky cakes.
Wen Juan took the change and took her sister-in-law out.
Soon, I came back with a box of sticky cakes!
Jiayin pulled her sister-in-law and sat under the eaves of the porch to eat.
Shui Ling also got two pieces, and ate them with a smile.
So, Mrs. Li and the others came back from outside, and when they entered the door, they saw under the eaves of the porch, and they were afraid that there were two large and one small one sitting, and they were playing with sticky cakes.
Jiayin and Shui Ling are okay, Wen Juan is a daughter-in-law, and it is too rude to be seen by her grandmother and father-in-law as being so naΓ―ve.
She blushed and quickly stuffed all the sticky cakes into her mouth, choking badly.
Mrs. Li smiled with a few more wrinkles on her face, stepped forward and patted her granddaughter-in-law's back, and comforted: "What's the panic, it's all a family, who can laugh at you." β
Wen Juan's face was even redder, but her heart was sweet, her grandmother was treating her as a child!
After a while, Zhao Yuru, Tao Hongying and others also returned.
There are a lot of rooms in the small courtyard, but it is still a little crowded with so many people at once.
So, Sun's second sister-in-law and Dazhu's daughter-in-law went to the cafeteria tonight to settle down, and they had already cleaned up the place.
Zhao Yuru didn't stop them, only left them to have a good meal.
For a while, the women crowded into the stove to cook, and the men sat in the doorway gossiping.
The elderly and children sit under the eaves of the porch and eat sticky cakes, not to mention how lively the small courtyard is.
Besides, here in the new village, in the courtyard of the Li family, Li Lao Er faced the two dishes on the table, a bowl of white rice, and he really had no appetite.
The old lady took her brother, daughter-in-law and niece to Luo'an, why didn't the eldest brother stay in the restaurant and didn't come back?!
In this huge courtyard, he eats alone, how pitiful he looks!
It was Shui Yun, Zheng He, Zheng Feng and Ye Tong who were also in the stove and had a lively meal.
He simply found a tray, served the food, and went straight to the backyard to find Uncle Zhao and a few other old men to eat together......
When Uncle Zhao saw Li Lao Er enter the door like this, he couldn't help laughing.
Uncle Wei gave Li Lao Er a chair and joked: "What, Uncle is abandoned by the family, and no one cares about you?" β
"Not really!" Li Lao Er couldn't cry or laugh, "I suspect that the eldest brother asked me to be this uncle, just to keep me at home." β
Everyone laughed, Uncle Zhao deliberately opened the wine jar, and one person divided half a bowl, and he didn't forget to tell Li Lao Er, "Drink, go home and go to bed after drinking, otherwise the house will be the quietest at night, and you will be even more uncomfortable." β
This is a matter of experience, you must know that before they met the Li family, they don't know how many long nights they had survived.
Li Lao Er didn't want the old men to think of the sad past, so he quickly diverted the conversation, saying that the family's fleet was coming back, and when the time came, he would take the old men to the dock by car.
Since the old men arrived at Broken Gold Beach, let alone going out to walk in the distance, they have rarely entered the city.
They are like loyal old yellow dogs, conscientiously guarding the door, day and night, never slacking off.
At this time, I heard that when I went out for a walk, of course everyone was happy, but they couldn't let go of the house, and they talked about it, and the dinner table became more lively.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Li Laosan led Wu Laojiu's family to the village called Xiaohe outside the town.
Last night, he had already met with the head of Xiaohe Village, gave him a generous gift, and also rented out all the 20 acres of land, and even found a courtyard for an old man who lived alone in the village, and rented three adobe wings.
At this time, Wu Laojiu's family brought bedding and pots and pans, and after a small half car, they could go directly to the village to settle down.
Wu Jiu's sister-in-law didn't talk much, but she was smiling, and when she saw that the carriage was surrounded by children when she entered the village, she took out the sesame candy she bought yesterday and scattered it, coaxing the children to run home happily.
After a while, the whole village knew that there was a newcomer.
As the village chief brought his brother Tian Mancang's family around, under the greetings, everyone heard more clearly.
The Li family is kind-hearted, and in addition to the taxes and grains that must be paid, the rest of the harvest is half of the Li family and the tenants.
That's a lot better than the market price.
At least one acre of land a year, tenants can get twenty or thirty catties of extra grain, and ten acres of land is two or three hundred catties.
Don't underestimate these 200 catties of grain, in a disaster year, it is enough for a family to survive.
When some villagers heard this, they were not happy, and whispered sourly: "When did this happen? How did we not know that the land outside the village was to be leased? Such good things are all taken up by the Tian family! β
It just so happened that the Bai family, the second largest household in the village, came over at this time.
The three sons of the Bai family have all become families, and no one dares to bully them in the village on weekdays.
At this time, some villagers hurriedly ran over and said a few words, and finally complained: "The Tian family has taken all the good things, and in case we are fighting for it, it was secretly decided last night, and it was only said this morning." β
