Chapter 43 Rain in the Qingming Festival
After raising chicks at home, Xiaobao is the happiest. Every day, I have to go to the chicken coop and feed the chickens with Li Mingmei.
On this rainy morning, the Li family's pigsty was completed.
That day, Zhao Yunlan said that she was going to pick up the pig and come back to raise it, and on the second day, Old Man Li and Li Mingyi began to repair the pigsty.
Zhao Yunlan split a vacant lot in the backyard and came out, and the father and son built a simple pigsty there to ensure that the pigs would not run out and would not be caught in the rain.
Li Mingyi went to the village chief's house and hugged two pigs and his younger brother came back. Xiaobao was happy again, and kept pulling the tail of the pig brother and screaming at the two pigs.
Zhao Yunlan didn't go to the shop to help since today, and the business in the shop was almost stable, Li Mingzhi stayed in the town, made a bed in the lobby and slept in the store with Li Mingli.
The weather is getting warmer, and it's okay to sleep in the store.
In the past few days, Zhao Yunlan has been preparing sacrificial items and food for Qingming in addition to raising chickens and pigs.
Seeing that tomorrow will be Qingming, Zhao Yunlan is wrapping the Youth League at this moment. Wormwood was picked from the mountains a few days ago, and the fresh tender mugwort leaves smelled a fragrance. Zhao Yunlan took it to pound it into juice and put it into glutinous rice flour, in previous years, the Li family was poor, and the Qingtuan was made without filling, but this year Zhao Yunlan prepared pork filling and red bean paste filling.
Xiaobao is hungry next to him.
Zhao Yunlan: "Xiaobao, saliva is dripping on the table." This will be given to Xiaobao's Taizu Taizu Grandma tomorrow, and Xiaobao will be able to eat it. ”
Xiaobao was puzzled: "Then they eat first today, and Xiaobao can eat." ”
A crow flew over Zhao Yunlan's head. This really can't be done!
"Xiaobao, Taizu, they are not here, they can only come out tomorrow, tomorrow is the Qingming Festival, you know? In the future, when her mother is not there, Xiaobao will also make this delicious dumpling for her mother to eat on the Qingming Festival. ”
Xiaobao smiled as if he didn't understand, revealing a few small white teeth.
Outside, Lee Ming-yi and Lee Ming-ming returned.
"Sister-in-law, you've wrapped so many youth leagues." Li Mingming said with a smile.
Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, what about your eldest brother?" ”
According to previous years, Li Mingren would come back a few days before Qingming, and the Wang family had not seen Li Mingren come back for a long time in the past few days, so he asked Li Shishi to go to the town to find Li Mingyi in his own shop, and asked Li Mingyi to come back with Li Mingren when he came back.
Li Mingyi's face was not good-looking: "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother said that he would not come." ”
Zhao Yunlan was very angry, he didn't come back on such an important day, what was this man thinking. It's been so long since the exam passed, and I haven't come out yet, I'm afraid that the Wang family should be sad.
Li Mingyi looked at Zhao Yunlan's increasingly angry appearance, and the Youth League was pinched into Qingbian.
"Hey, that's it, you have to face it, go and talk to your father." Zhao Yunlan said.
"Yes, sister-in-law." Li Mingyi responded, but he thought in his heart that this sister-in-law really likes her eldest brother, so she can bear it.
Zhao Yunlan didn't know that Li Mingyi had misunderstood again, she just refreshed her cognition of Li Mingren again.
In the upper room, the Wang family only waved his hand when he knew it, and now he doesn't know how to discipline this eldest son more and more.
Old man Li slapped the table angrily, and shouted again and again: "This boss~This boss~" In the end, he couldn't say anything.
On this day, the sky is still drizzling. Old man Li led the family to the mountains to worship their ancestors early in the morning.
After returning home, Xiaobao couldn't wait to eat Qingtuan, and that harazi rubbed on Zhao Yunlan's clothes.
Zhao Yunlan looked at the cute Xiaobao and had to give Xiaobao a ball.
"No, let's eat, Xiaobao is still young, you can only eat one!"
Xiaobao shook his head.
Zhao Yunlan: "What's the matter, didn't you still have to eat just now!" ”
Xiaobao whispered: "I have to wait for Taizu and Taizu's grandmother to eat first." ”
Zhao Yunlan hehehe: "They have all eaten!" ”
Xiaobao: "Huh? Why didn't Xiaobao see it. ”
Zhao Yunlan was speechless for a while, isn't this digging a pit for herself!
"Hey, eat it, there's meat in this Qingtuan!"
Xiaobao was successfully diverted.
As soon as the Qingming Festival passed, Li Mingyi and Li Mingming went to the town.
Zhao Yunlan took Li Mingmei and followed Old Man Li to the bull market in the town.
Old man Li has made and hinted explicitly in the past few days, and the Wang family can't help but laugh next to him.
Old man Li happily looked at every cow in front of him. The head is bright and smooth.
Old man Li chose a middle-aged cow with a sturdy physique, "What is the price of this cow?" ”
The little brother of the cattle dealer greeted him with a smile: "Uncle, good vision, I will accept this ability to pick cattle." This cow is in the prime of life, look at this physique, look at this hair. It's not expensive, only nine taels of silver. ”
Old man Li was quite happy to be complimented at first, but when he heard Jiu Liang, it was not pleasing to look at this cow again.
"Nine taels, so expensive, last time my brother bought a cow was only seven taels." Old man Li casually found a fool and wanted to talk about it.
The cattle dealer's face immediately changed: "Uncle, our batch of cattle is first-class and good, and it is not worth two prices." If you always want a cow for seven taels of silver, No, the calf there, it only costs six taels of silver. ”
Old man Li pouted and looked at the calf, well, this coat color is also good, and it is also a strong cow with a head sign when it grows up.
Old man Li rubbed his hands: "Can the calf be cheaper?" ”
The little brother also has a headache, why is the first order so difficult to do today: "Uncle, it really can't be cheaper, six taels of silver, look at the cow, although the age is a little younger, but this coat color, this bone, well, so six taels of silver is not the price, I will give you a small board car at most." ”
Old man Li: "Okay, that's it. The eldest daughter-in-law, give the money, and I'll go to the cow. ”
Zhao Yunlan interjected at this time, pulled the old man Li aside and whispered: "Dad, when this calf is bought, it will not be able to bear the farm when it is bought, and our family will buy the big one when the money for buying the cow comes out!" ”
Old man Li pretended to be unfathomable and said, "Don't, this is what you don't understand!" The cow is to buy calves, cultivate feelings from an early age, and only then can they understand human speech when they start working. I'm going to pay for it! ”
Zhao Yunlan had to give the money, and Old Man Li happily led the cow. The little brother helped install the board car, and Li Mingmei just wanted to climb up, but Old Man Li immediately scolded: "Hurry down, don't tire my heart and liver." ”
Li Mingmei looked at the sky speechlessly.
The three of them had to walk next to the cow, but this little cowboy seemed to be able to walk well at first because he had been locked up for a long time, but then realized that he was walking on the avenue, and he ran away as if he was happy, and the old man Li immediately followed behind, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingmei were afraid that the old man Li would fall, so they chased after the old man.
Today, the time for the three to go home was shortened by a quarter under the leadership of the Mavericks.
Old man Li was tired and out of breath when he got home, and he sat there and rested for a long time before he recovered.
