Li Changhui joined the army ten years ago, and almost every year he would ask people to bring back silver, not much, only two or three taels of silver, but it was more than enough to raise two children in the village.

After all, as long as you don't get hungry or freezing, one tael of silver is enough, not to mention a few taels every year, and Li Changhui came back twice in the middle, and each time he left silver.

In the past ten years, the Li family has received about 100 taels of silver from Li Changhui, and naturally, they also have the money to build a new house, which is still a blue brick and tile house, which is magnificent.

It was not that no one joined the army with Li Changhui back then, and in the following years, people left the village one after another, but until now, only one Li Changhui has returned, and the others have almost turned into a small pension in the end.

Li Changhui has been away from home for too long, and he has been infected and killed all the year round, and he has become estranged from his family, and not only is he comfortable separating his family, but others are also at ease.

And the place where they live now is also the Li family's previous house, a mud tile house, which is a bit old, but it is better than the house.

The newly built brick house now houses Li Changhui's father, two younger brothers and sisters-in-law, and several nephews and nieces.

Li Changhui was generous, and when he went home, he gave his father and mother the twenty taels of silver, saying that it was the pension money for retirement.

It's a pity that when the family was separated, except for giving them enough food to eat the autumn harvest, and some basic daily necessities such as pots and pans, they didn't have a single tael of silver.

In other words, now they are penniless.

There is no rule of not saying anything at home, Lin He pondered the situation at home, and was a little worried.

"An'er is still young, coarse rice is not easy to digest, I use oil and salt for cooking, and now the oil is almost gone, and it is about to enter summer, Yu'er Hao'er is fine, there are old clothes from previous years to wear, but the three of us don't have it."

Obviously, I didn't care about anything before, just cook and eat, but now it's a family, if nothing else, we still have to live together for several years, and we can't really worry about nothing.

Fortunately, it's just a few trivial things in life.

Li Changhui obviously had a plan, and he was not worried at all when he heard this, but said indifferently: "It's okay, I went hunting in the mountains in the afternoon, and I have observed it in the past few days, there are many pheasants on the mountain, and there should be rabbits and other small animals." ”

Lin He was surprised: "You still hunt?" ”

In the memory of the original owner, the hunter seems to be a very capable character, because it means that there is no shortage of meat and no shortage of money.

Then he reacted again, a little annoyed: "I almost forgot, if you can be in the army for ten years, you must have some real skills." ”

Li Changhui glanced at her and didn't say much.

It was Li Yu Li Hao, who had just received a new name, who heard his father say hunting, and his spirit was instantly shocked, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of excitement.

Especially Li Yu, his dark face was red with excitement: "Dad, you can still hunt, then we will have a lot of meat to eat in the future!" ”

Li Hao's eyes also widened, looking at his father without blinking, and the worship in his eyes was about to materialize.

Li Changhui was calm: "Be obedient in the future, you can't eat your meat." ”

Lin He on the side also had bright eyes: "No wonder I use so much oil, and you don't talk about me." ”

She was willing to put oil in the stir-fry, this time the family was separated, her mother-in-law gave a small bowl of lard, according to the meal she ate at her mother-in-law's house a few days ago, this small bowl of oil, a large family can eat for more than half a month.

But this is for her to pancakes, boiled noodles or something, she was stunned and almost finished in seven or eight days, even if she boiled porridge, she would grab two more handfuls of rice and boil it thicker, no wonder Li Yu Li Hao said that the food she made was delicious.

Correspondingly, the consumption of rice, flour, grain and oil is naturally larger.

Li Changhui's expression remained the same: "It's okay, only when you are full will you have the strength to work, you can decide to cook at home in the future, tell me what you lack, and I will find a way." ”

Lin He looked sideways, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this man is really responsible, but in this way, his heart has fallen a lot.

At least in the future, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.

The family ate, Lin He washed the dishes, Li Yu wiped the table and swept the floor, and Li Changhui took a hoe and sickle, and found grain seeds, ready to work in the field.

Li An was placed in a small bamboo bed, allowing him to roll and crawl casually, without worrying about falling, not to mention Li Hao watching it.

Lin He glanced at Li Changhui, who had already gone out, and then looked at the clothes drying in the yard, except for the ones Li Changhui brought back himself, the others were full of patches.

"Yu'er, you are not young anymore, you have to learn to wash your own clothes in the future, and you can't always ask your father to wash it for you."

Li Yu waved a broom and didn't raise his head: "Mother, why doesn't Dad help you wash your clothes?" Anyway, even ours have been washed, and there aren't many of you. ”

Lin He gave him a blank look: "Adults, don't worry about children!" ”

Li Yu pursed his lips: "Just now I said that my boss is not small." ”

Lin He's eyes widened: "Poor mouth, be careful I tell your father!" ”

Li Yu didn't dare to talk nonsense in an instant, although his father didn't beat people, but his face was dark, and when he looked at it coldly, he was terrifying.

After cleaning up the house, he checked Li An's diaper, and when he peed, he gave him a new one, and told Li Hao not to run around, and to watch his younger brother at home, and Lin He led Li Yu up the mountain.

Xiang'an Village is not big, but it is not small, there are more than 100 families in the village, there are many women, few men, especially adult men, even less.

In fact, the entire Dadu Dynasty is about the same, after all, the ten-year-long campaign consumes manpower, and I don't know how manpower it consumes.

Xiang'an Village is just a small mountain village in the middle of nowhere, and there are many, many such small villages in Daduchao.

Nothing special.

Lin He thought to himself.

Let Li Yu take him to dig wild vegetables, the main thing is to avoid going to other people's places, after all, even if it is wild vegetables, if they grow in other people's fields, they have the master.

I went up the mountain and looked around the whole Xiang'an Village, the village is quite large, and many people in the fields are working at this time, so she is so idle, and in the spring ploughing season, she also has the leisure to dig wild vegetables.

However, at this time, there were a lot of wild vegetables, and the mother and son went home with two baskets of wild vegetables in less than half an hour on the hillside.

There were dandelions, endive, and wild onions, etc., and when I came back, I passed by the place where Li Changhui was working, and saw that he was digging the ground in full swing, sweat sliding down his forehead and falling from his chin.

The man is strong and energetic, and he works hard, even if he is the only one, he is almost like working in the field with the others.

Li Changhui was looked at oldly, so he had to stop what he was doing and look at his own bold little chef.

Lin He came back to his senses: "I saw a bamboo forest on the mountain, but it was a little far, you went up the mountain to hunt in the afternoon, can you take me with you?" I'm going to dig some bamboo shoots and won't bother you. ”

Now the bamboo shoots are dug up and dried for several months, but if the weather is warmer, there will be no bamboo shoots.

Li Changhui: "Okay, let's go in the afternoon, you wait for me near the bamboo forest, and I'll go to the mountains alone." ”

Li Yu on the side immediately cheered: "Oye, thank you, Dad, I will also go to the mountain!" ”

There was no one else around them, and the nearest one was two or three hundred meters away, Li Yu was so happy that no one heard it.

But even if you hear it, it's okay, the two adults in the family are not people who care about other people's opinions.

For example, Lin He has not been to the field once since he has been to Xiang'an Village for so long, which is enough for the people in the village to chew their tongues.

No, soon someone came to preach.
