Chapter Twenty-Three: Fighting with the sky and the earth, fighting with the old lady and having endless fun
After the second elder finished eating, Lin Tao put on the same stinky face as the original owner, and ordered the Zhu family and the Xu family to send the second elder back.
Just as he was about to go back to the hall, he saw two little ones lying on the window of the West House.
Lin Tao entered the Westinghouse and looked at the two small ones with their eyes closed on the kang where a straw mat was divided into two.
whispered: "Don't pretend, I saw you just lying on the window." ”
Little lily of the valley pretended to be asleep toughly, with a pair of small eyebrows, shaking up and down with the beating eyelids.
It was Xiao Li Qian, who was recognized, so he simply stopped pretending and sat up.
"Milk, I can't sleep, can you tell us a story?"
Xiao Linglan, who had been pretending for a long time, also opened her eyes timidly, like a small worm, arching to the corner of the kang and hugging her knees into a ball.
A pair of big sunken eyes because of long-term hunger made her look like an alien cub.
On this day, like popcorn, there were so many troubles, and the two little ones who were rare even in the past were strange to be able to sleep after experiencing this.
However, Xiao Li Qian's request was really difficult for Lin Tao.
In her previous life, she had experienced many professions, but she had never been a kindergarten teacher.
I turned over my memories dozens of times, but I couldn't find a story that could coax a child.
What Cinderella and the Prince, that's all bullshit that deceives people to give up the struggle!
If a person wants to truly change his life, there is no other shortcut except to use 100% of his strength and fight fate to the end.
Has anyone ever wondered why Cinderella's story ended at the moment of marrying the prince?
It's simple!
Everything you get by clinging to others will always be just bubbles!
As soon as others shout stop, you will be the girl who can only sleep in the coal ash heap again!
The only person who can change his life is always himself!
After thinking about it, Lin Tao talked about Journey to the West, and the two little ones only listened to it.
About two quarters of an hour later, the courtyard door rang.
"Okay, let's talk about today's story first."
Lin Tao patted the grass pillow, and the two little ones slept back obediently.
This family is so poor that they don't even have quilts, and the family is old and young, and they all sleep in clothes.
In winter, when it snows, it is covered with a thick layer of hay.
As for whether you can survive the winter, it's all up to fate!
Xiao Linglan tugged at the corner of her clothes, and her little paws gestured with strange and coherent movements, making Lin Tao's eyes full of question marks.
"Lan Lan wants to ask, when will Grandma tell us stories?" Xiao Li Qian poked out his little head and said.
Lin Tao stretched out her hand to shake Linglan's little hand, but the little girl retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will tell you again."
Xiao Linglan was so excited that her eyes were full of little stars.
"Lan Lan, you can speak. Whatever you want to ask in the future, you can just say it. ”
The little girl bit her lip, and her chin seemed to move, but there was still fear in those big eyes that could not be concealed.
Looking at the little girl's clothes, without sleeves, Lin Tao thought, if the cloth is not sold, she will make clothes for the two little ones first.
In the courtyard, Li Er and Li Sixiang helped each other into the door, and their back baskets were empty.
Looking at their sweaty clothes, Lin Tao knew that these two stupid sons were conscious this time, and they didn't make a little smart.
The back foot Xu and Zhu also returned.
Many people wanted to help Li Er into the house, but Li Er waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't don't, stay away from me." ”
Many people with a surprised face fetched a basin of water and followed them to the Westinghouse.
Here, the Zhu family also quietly returned to the East House, looking at the appearance of the Zhu family, he should still be worried about Li Yi.
Lin Tao wasn't worried at all.
If Li Yi can come back from the mountain, it means that at least there is still salvation.
If she is too lazy to wait for her or the Zhu family to go up the mountain to carry him, hehe, she should not have this cheap son.
After all, lazy cancer also scores grades, and he is really a late-stage patient, so let him go!
Li Sichong stroked a few handfuls of water on his face, dragged his tired body, and returned to the East House Townhouse.
Following.
Before dawn, I heard a movement in the courtyard.
In the past few days, Lin Tao has become familiar with the work and rest of the farmers.
When the door was opened, the two small ones sat next to Xu's, Xiao Linglan picked grass, Xiao Li Qian rubbed the rope, and then Xu's put the eggs on a string of five.
Lin Tao remembered that he said yesterday that he was going to take wild eggs to the town and sell them.
Xiao Li Qianqian called out: "Milk." ”
Little Lily of the Valley was still under her encouraging and expectant gaze, and barely shouted like a little milk cat: "Milk." ”
"Mother, you're up." Xu put down the work in his hand and ran to fetch water and brought it to the stone table.
He also brought over the ashes of the plants and trees that had been crushed in the morning.
You can believe it, this black ash is used to brush your teeth.
As for toothpaste, it is a small branch the length of an index finger, and the branch is torn thin at one end. When you stand up, it looks like a broom.
In the memory of the original owner, there is no shadow of a toothbrush at all. Lin Tao was used to living alone in the wilderness in his previous life, so he accepted it calmly. If you were someone else, you would be crazy.
"My mother said yesterday that the grass and trees are gray and fangs, and today I have made them much thinner. Mother try, if you still have teeth, I'll make it thinner. ”
After speaking, Xu Shi was busy skewering eggs again.
Zhu, who came back from carrying water, muttered next to Xu when he learned that he was going to the town to sell eggs: "It takes two or three days to run and lie down in the town, and this egg can't be sold for a few dollars." The second child's family, you tell your mother, or let's go up the mountain again to touch some eggs, and then sell them tomorrow. ”
Lin Tao understood in his heart that the Zhu family was still thinking about Li Yi, and he was looking for Fang and wanted to go up the mountain to find someone.
Zhu felt her gaze and didn't dare to squeak.
He poured the water from the bucket into the tank and went out again.
"What about the second and fourth?" Lin Tao asked.
Xu Shixi pointed to the door with a smile and said, "I went out early in the morning to pick firewood." ”
Farmers usually do not store too much firewood at home because they work in the mountains every day. One or two days is enough.
Lin Tao was wondering why these two cheap sons suddenly became diligent.
I heard Xu say again: "The fourth uncle said, go up the mountain and dig some white grass." ”
Lin Tao realized that Li Si had a lot of brains, and he was afraid of being called to the town, so he got up early and hid in the mountains!
Isn't it just fun to dig chicken leg grass, and you won't be able to come back for a while!
Sample, I'm afraid I don't think it's endless fun to fight with the sky and the earth and the old lady!
It's just that fighting with her, Li Si is still too tender.
After washing, Lin Tao took a small branch from the bamboo broom that was about to be bald, and went out with his back behind him.
Observe the terrain around you.
Then turn right and walk briskly towards the lesser-visited hill.
Sure enough, before he walked for more than a quarter of an hour, he heard Li Si's triumphant voice.
"Second brother, rest assured, how could my mother have thought that we are here. Let's put our minds to sleep for a while, and when my mother goes to town, let's go down the mountain and go home and continue to sleep. ”
"If the fourth child lets his mother know, I'm afraid I'll have to be beaten again."
"What are you afraid of? Since you were a child, have you been beaten less? I'm not afraid, you're afraid of a hammer. ”
And then the next second......
"Mother? Fourth, mother, mother. ”
"Mother is out?" Li Siyou opened his eyes in a wandering manner.
Then the hot pain in his arms and thighs made his whole body jump.
"Oops! Mother! It hurts, it hurts, don't fight! Wow, it hurts! ”
The small bamboo strips in Lin Tao's hand are left and right, and the rain and dew are evenly wet.
When the sky dawned, the wails and screams of Li Er and Li Si sounded above Gongjiazhai, as well as the sound of rescue.
