Chapter Sixty-Nine: What Are You Asking If You Can't Afford to Eat? A poor family!

After eating, Xu Shi put away the bowl and said, "Mother, you go back to the house and sleep for a while!" If you walk, you have to walk for half a day! I'll pack the tartary buckwheat noodles with my sister-in-law in a while, and you can get up and take your things on the road. ”

Lin Tao nodded and got up, and saw that the eldest and second and third didn't dare to move, just looked at her like that, as if waiting for her to give an order.

There was only the third child, and when they put the bowl, they went to chop wood.

After a long sigh, Lin Tao spoke: "Okay, the four of you will also go back to the house and sleep for a while." Before the time comes, we have to go. ”

"Yes!"

The three stupid sons, as if they heard the instructor shouting to disb, rushed into their respective rooms without their heels touching their heels.

"Okay, third child, you also go to sleep."

"There is no firewood at home, so I will go to sleep after chopping."

"Okay, your sister-in-law will do it, you hurry back to the house and sleep for a while."

"Sister-in-law is a woman, and heavy work should be done by a man." When Li San spoke, the work on his hands never stopped.

To say, this Li San is really a good man, I don't know how much stronger than the three flamboyant things at home!

Zhu, who came back from feeding the cattle, reached out to ask for the woodcutter in Li San's hand, but Li San refused to give it.

"Third uncle, you don't listen to your mother's words?"

When Zhu said this, Li San hesitated for a while, but still handed the knife to Zhu.

Then he obediently washed his face and went back to the house.

"It's up to you and the second family to work hard at home." Lin Tao said.

Zhu shook his head: "It's my mother who works hard." Hurry up and go to sleep. You can rest assured that we will do everything at home. ”

Lin Tao nodded and returned to the hall.

As for the eldest daughter-in-law's big body, one can withstand two envoys of the Xu family.

A few days ago, when I went up the mountain to collect tartary buckwheat, Zhu and the third child could carry a basket at the same time, and then pick a pick.

The second child is better, although he only carries a basket, at least he pretends to be sincere.

The boss didn't have any brains, she could only hum and say that she was tired, and she hit her hands a few times, so she didn't dare to squeak and do things obediently.

The biggest headache is the fourth child, as long as she doesn't look at one eye, that kid will use small means to be lazy and do less things.

At first, I deliberately injured my hand and wanted to be lazy.

If she hadn't said that she was going to cut off his useless hands, the kid would have taken that thought.

Later, he sneaked it again, only filled with tartary buckwheat in a half-back basket, and then filled it with grass and vines! Pretend the back basket is full.

When I got home, I secretly exchanged my back basket for the boss.

The old lady came to complain, saying that the boss was lazy, and she also beat the boss.

If Zhu Donghua hadn't come out to prove it for Li Yi, Li Si's act of stealing beams and changing pillars, she wouldn't have known about it!

That night, she beat Li Si up well, this kid is counted, he doesn't dare to play tricks anymore, and he does things honestly.

At three o'clock, Lin Tao was woken up by the old lady.

In the courtyard, a shelf was also set up on the back of the cow, and two backs of tartary buckwheat noodles were humped.

They had to carry it on their backs one by one.

Xu handed the second child a basket, and Li Er shouted as if he had been bitten by a snake: "Why do you want me to carry another basket?" None of them! ”

"This is the leaf I picked up on the mountain, and when I went back to buy it, I put a basket on the back of the basket, so that the buckwheat noodles would not be spilled."

"Okay, okay! It's all about you! ”

To say, Xu's can be regarded as the most meticulous one in the family. Lin Tao didn't expect it, so she quietly did it.

Lin Tao wanted to take the cow and was robbed by the third child.

couldn't walk the main road, Lin Tao could only walk on the mountain behind his house.

The road that almost no one walks, and it is difficult to walk is enough to imagine.

Fortunately, this mountain road is not too long, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk to the main road in the village.

As soon as I got on the road, I happened to meet villagers who took grain to the town to sell.

Lin Tao then remembered that these few days were the time to harvest grain, and after coming to Li Zhengye to pay the grain, there was not much grain left, and he had to sell it for money, so that he could buy more cheap staple food.

These people are just familiar with each other in the village, and they haven't dealt with each other much.

But when they saw Lin Tao, they were still talking and laughing, and they were silent at this moment.

One by one, as if a ghost was chasing them, they walked so fast.

Li Er quipped: "Hey! After that, do they have to take a detour when they see us? ”

The fourth child who followed behind answered angrily: "Look at your beauty!" If you really want to take a detour, it's also going around your mother! Which green onion are you! ”

"Alright, alright! Walking is tiring enough, what are you arguing about? I really have an inexhaustible amount of strength, you two carry it for me. Li took two steps and gasped.

"Get out!"

"Think beautifully!"

Li Er and Li Si said in unison.

When I came to the market, it was just in time for the market to open in the morning.

I didn't come for some days, but I didn't expect that there were many fewer people selling things in the market than before.

And those who buy things, almost all of them buy soybeans, and now few people even go to the stalls that sell millet.

When passing by, Lin Tao asked, "Big brother, how do you sell this millet?" ”

"Forty liters."

As soon as the words fell, the exclamations of the brothers sounded beside them.

"What? Forty!? ”

"Crazy? Who can afford to eat at forty! ”

"That's it! Rice is only sold for twenty! ”

The vendor looked at them and smiled: "Twenty? How long ago was the price? Don't have a hundred words, want to eat rice? You haven't been to town in a long time, have you? Now that the day is dry, the grain in the field is not harvested, and the price is the same every day! ”

"Auntie, don't be too expensive, just our millet, you don't buy it today, and when it comes to tomorrow, maybe you won't be able to buy it at forty!"

Lin Tao nodded and only said that it was too expensive to eat, so he left.

Behind him, the street vendor shouted: "What are you asking if you can't afford to eat?" A poor family! ”

Li Er was angry, and he turned around and was about to quarrel with the vendor, but was stopped by Li Si and Li Yi.

"Let go of your hands, see if I don't beat him today! If you don't buy it, you will curse, what kind of business does he do! ”

"Okay, don't delay this, you go to the stall next to Aunt Yu and set up the stall. When I come back, I will be allowed to sell. ”

Lin Tao spoke, and Li Ercai scolded and walked away.

After turning around the market here, Lin Tao noticed that there was no rice for sale. Come to think of it, what the vendor just said is true.

How can people like them afford to eat food for hundreds of dollars?

Even if someone sells, they won't come here.

In the market, the most popular one is soybeans.

Seven or eight stalls selling mushrooms were crowded with people.

Lin Tao went up and asked the price.

The man looked at her and replied, "Thirty wen and one liter!" Hurry up, maybe tomorrow, it's fifty or sixty! ”

As soon as the vendor shouted like this, the people who bought it became even more excited.

One by one, as if they were robbing people who didn't want money, they held the money in their hands and shouted: "Fifty liters!" Fill me with fifty liters! ”
