"Yo, ox cart! When did the Lin family become so rich? ”

"Lying in the car, it looks like Li San?"

"It's like, it's it!"

So the people in the village said one sentence to me, and they just pieced together the source of the silver that Lin Tao bought for the ox cart.

The story goes like this, Li Sanyi devoted himself to filial piety, and for the sake of Lin's coffin, he fought for a scar in the mountains and hunted valuable prey.

After exchanging silver in the town, Lao Li's family had an ox cart.

And she, who originally went to the town to sell mountain eggs, became the evil mother who heard that Li San was rich, so she went to the town to find Li San.

In this story, Lin Tao became the one, who died as his own man, and became an old woman who didn't even let go of her son.

Although there are also people who stand up to speak for her, there is a saying that the more people say, the more people will believe.

Lin Tao didn't bother to explain.

The mouth grows on other people's bodies, and it doesn't belong to her!

When he returned to the Li family's courtyard, Xu led two small ones, and stood on one side of the courtyard gate with Zhu's alone, looking from a distance, it looked like four stone sculptures of all sizes.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, Li Yi rushed out of the courtyard.

"Yo-he!" This kid actually came down from the mountain by himself?

Xu's mother and Zhu's family, one after the other, circled around the ox cart.

Those who touched the wheels of the car, pulled the ears of the cows, and even the tail of the cow did not escape their curious little hands.

The cows were mooing in annoyance.

As soon as Lin Tao got out of the car, Xiao Li Qian threw himself into his arms.

"Why did Grandma come back, Qian'er, Auntie, and Auntie are waiting at the door every day."

Lin Tao looked at Xiao Linglan, the little girl was bolder than before, and dared to look at her.

However, he still shrank behind Xu Shi and called: "Grandma." ”

The clothes on his body were also changed into new clothes with sleeves, and the skirt completely covered his feet.

The cloth was old, but the garment was neatly sewn.

On the cuffs, there was also a white thread and a small bell embroidered.

"Hungry, huh? Grandma has brought you something delicious, hurry inside. Lin Tao led Xiao Li Qian into the courtyard.

The second child helped the third child into the east house terrace.

There are few people in the house, and the third and fourth children have been living in the same room.

The original owner is also a mother-in-law, in this era, no matter how poor and miserable, you can also have a small single room.

If you have a mother-in-law on your head, you will be in your thirties and squeezed on a kang with your sons in your teens or twenties, and there will be more.

The fourth child and the Zhu family worked together to carry the purchased things into the courtyard.

"Big brother, don't just stand and watch! I'm here to help! ”

Li Yi glanced at the old lady sitting at the stone table, and held hands with palpitations.

Lin Tao asked what they were eating at home these days.

Xiao Li Qian said everything in detail one by one.

"My mother and aunt took us to dig up wild vegetables, and my sister also found a large piece of chicken leg grass."

"The day before yesterday, Grandma Wang also sent a basket of millet home. We didn't eat it, so we waited for Grandma to come back and eat together. ”

Co-author, in the past few days of her absence, they have eaten wild vegetables.

"Hurry up, take out the rice and cook it. We haven't eaten for a day. ”

"Huh? Rice!! Xu exclaimed.

Looking at the rice in the burlap bag, Xu's hands trembled.

He pulled Li Er and asked, "His father, did you buy this rice?" ”

"Not really! Don't stand still, hurry. My mother has been hungry for a day. ”

While boiling the underwater rice, Xu asked in a low voice: "His father!" Where did you get so much money to buy rice and cattle? ”

Li Er sat on the floor of the stove shed, like a storyteller, and spat on what he had experienced in the past few days.

The words inadvertently reveal adoration and pride.

This is the first time he has experienced this feeling.

By the time he had finished, the floor of the stove was full of people.

"Grandma is amazing!" Xiao Li Qian clapped his hands and applauded.

"Uh-huh." Xiao Linglan chimed in.

Li Si lowered his voice and whispered, "No, you didn't notice that something was wrong with the old lady?" ”

"What could be wrong?" Li Er said.

Xu: "I don't think there's anything wrong with my mother. Even if she had, she felt that her mother-in-law was better now than before.

I also hope that the current mother-in-law can continue to be so good.

After living for half a lifetime, she felt that there was hope for the first time.

"I'm the same as my mother, I think grandma is very good."

"Uh-huh."

The two little ones spoke one after the other, and Xiao Linglan will always be her brother's little heel.

Li Sibai glanced at his mother and threw the question to Zhu Donghua.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Zhu added firewood to the stove, and there was no emotion on his face.

"What's wrong? We have rice boiling in our pot. ”

In a word, he blocked Li Si's mouth.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Tao came in with the washed fish and looked at the panicked crowd.

Send Zhu to wash out the fish scales.

asked the second child to clean up the fat he bought.

When Li Er took out the meat from the back basket, all his eyes fell on the meat.

"This is meat, huh?" Xiao Li Qian sighed.

Lin Tao only then remembered that since the two small ones were born, it was the first time they had seen pork. They really haven't eaten pork, they've only seen pigs run.

As for the fish, I have only seen other people's houses waterlogged from the river, so I don't know what it tastes like.

In general, they have eaten the best eggs, that is, the eggs that they can eat once during the Chinese New Year.

It has to be that someone else gives too much.

If there are only three or five eggs, the original owner basically only lets Li Si eat them.

The two little ones didn't even dare to look at it, otherwise the original owner would think that they wanted to eat, and they would be scolded at least and slapped a few times.

"Today we eat fish." Lin Tao rubbed the top of the two small heads.

Xiao Li Qian shook his head again and again: "Qian'er doesn't want to eat fish, just eat wild vegetables." ”

"Uh-huh." Little Lily of the Valley also nodded in response.

Lin Tao couldn't bear the distress and returned to the hall without saying a word.

I didn't come back for a few days, but the two daughters-in-law cleaned up the house very cleanly.

There was no dust on the table, only a straw mat and a straw pillow on the kang, which was also flat and neat.

At this time, Lin Tao noticed that there was a piece of cloth on the grass pillow.

I open it, and the length and width are just the same as the kang.

The corners of the old cloth are spliced together, and on a small square cloth in the middle, a small peach is embroidered with white thread.

The needle angles are not neat, and the lines are a little messy.

At a glance, you can see that it should be embroidered by a new embroiderer.

The needle corners of other splicing places of the whole cloth are very skilled and very neat.

Lin Tao called the Xu family who passed by the door in.

"What is this?"

"This, this is the cover I sewed for my mother with my sister-in-law and Linglan. It's getting cooler, so I want you to sleep warmer. ”

After speaking, he explained in a panic: "Although it is a piece of cloth that was taken from the old clothes that I couldn't wear, I washed it carefully. It was also sunbathed all day. If my mother doesn't like it, I'll take it away. ”
