Li Qingzhi lowered his head and ate slowly.

About the future...... The first thing he wants to do is definitely to fill his family's stomach!

Jin Xiaoye didn't have many gnocchi for Li Qingzhi, after all, Li Qingzhi was sick, and his appetite shouldn't be too good.

Therefore, it didn't take much effort for Li Qingzhi to eat up the food in the bowl, he looked at the bowl in front of him, and wanted to lick the bottom of the bowl.

It's a pity that Jin Xiaoye didn't do what he wanted, seeing that he ate up the gnocchi, Jin Xiaoye flattened him and told the two children not to go out to play at home and watch Li Qingzhi, so he hurriedly went out.

Li Qing watched her leave and looked at the two children: "Go to bed and sleep." ”

The original owner built two rooms, each of which was about twenty square meters, one for him and Jin Xiaoye, and the other for Li Laogen.

He was lying in the house where he and Jin Xiaoye lived, and there were a lot of things in this house now, and there was still food piled up next to it.

Jin Xiaoye and the two children must have lived in this room before, so as soon as Li Qingzhi's voice fell, the two children couldn't wait to climb into bed and lay next to Li Qingzhi on the left and right.

Li Qingzhi held two small hands, and his heart instantly settled down.

At this time, Li Ermao suddenly shouted: "Dad! ”

"Hmm." Li Qing replied.

Li Ermao was excited all of a sudden: "Dad! ”

"Hmm." Li Qingzhi replied again.

Li Ermao continued to shout: "Daddy, daddy, daddy!" ”

Li Qingzhi: "......"

Li Damao was a little more stable than his younger brother, but at this time he also spoke up: "Dad! ”

Li Damao and Li Ermao are always said to be wild children without a father, and now a father suddenly appears, the more they think about it, the more excited they become, the happier they become, and the more they call their fathers, they rise and fall.

Although Li Qingzhi was tired, he still responded.

Jin Xiaoye was busy working in the kitchen set up outside, and he could hear the movement in the house, and his eyes were a little red when he listened to it.

Chapter 5 Rice Noodles

Four or five-year-old children love to sleep, Li Damao and Li Ermao lay next to Li Qingzhi and called their father, shouting and shouting and falling asleep unconsciously.

Li Qingzhi's body was very weak, and he also needed sleep, and in a daze, he also fell asleep.

Jin Xiaoye saw that the three of them were asleep, so he closed the door and got busy.

There was rice at home, so she lit a fire and fried the rice in an iron pot.

She was frying, and Li Laogen came out of the next room.

It was noon, and the sun was very hot, so Li Laogen didn't want to go to the field to get sunburned.

It was very hot, and Li Laogen, like Li Damao and Li Ermao, did not wear a shirt, but only a pair of pants.

He glanced at the closed door and lowered his voice: "Xiao Ye, how is A-Qing?" ”

Jin Xiaoye said: "I think he is much better, he should be able to live." "Before, the old man in the village said that Li Qingzhi would definitely not survive, not only that, but the doctor she invited also said that Li Qingzhi should not survive.

The doctor didn't even prescribe more medicine!

Two days ago, seeing that Li Qingzhi was breathing weakly, Jin Xiaoye also felt that he probably couldn't survive, but just now Li Qingzhi woke up and ate a bowl of gnocchi, maybe he could survive.

Li Laogen had a bitter face when he heard this: "Can you live...... So what can I do? ”

Jin Xiaoye sounded a little wrong: "Isn't it a good thing to be alive?!" ”

Li Laogen sighed: "If he is like that, he will definitely not be able to work in the future, and the family will have an extra mouth to eat." "Their family's food was not enough to eat, but now there is another one who eats dry rice, and it is estimated that they will have to drink rice soup every day in the future!

According to Li Laogen's thoughts, when Li Qingzhi was like that, there was no need to treat him and take medicine, wasting the family's money in vain.

Jin Xiaoye raised the bamboo shovel: "You don't eat dry rice?" You don't make as much money as you lose! One day you can't do it, should I starve you to death? ”

"It's because I didn't keep the door open, don't take me seriously," Li Laogen picked up the bucket next to him and ran, "I'll go and water the vegetable patch." ”

Jin Xiaoye saw Li Laogen run away and continued to fry rice.

Li Laogen is actually much better now.

After Li Qingzhi disappeared, Li Laogen felt that Li Qingzhi's two acres of land should be his, and he had never had money in his hand before, and he suddenly trembled, looking for someone to gamble all day long.

In a month's work, Li Laogen lost a lot of consistent, and all of them were borrowed from him.

That is, Li Laogen is timid and does not dare to go to the county seat, so he only gambles with people in the village, otherwise the two acres of land at home can be lost by him.

But it's always been more ...... How could Jin Xiaoye have so much money at that time?

After she knew about this, she was angry, and she fought with Li Laogen with a big belly, picked up the latch and chased Li Laogen around the village, and went to the house of the person who lent Li Laogen, telling them that the land at home was for the child in her belly, and she would not help Li Laogen repay the money......

She was pregnant with twins, and her belly was very big, and Li Laogen was afraid of her, Village

The people were also afraid of her, in short, no one dared to lend money to Li Laogen after that.

However, she said that she would not pay back the money to Li Laogen, but Li Laogen had no ability to come to the money, and she couldn't really ignore it......

Later, she took care of Li Laogen and asked him to touch the snails and catch the loaches, and then she took them to the county seat to sell, and the ones that could not be sold were used to raise ducks......

She was pregnant first and then gave birth to a child, and it took more than a year to pay off this debt, God knows how hard it was!

Li Laogen can't change his dog to eat, and his hands itch from time to time, but fortunately, she watches the money and food at home closely, and she also lets out the words to go to Li Laogen and borrow money from others, and she will not pay it back...... Li Laogen can't borrow money now, and the best thing is to lose the few pennies she occasionally gave him.

But how to live at home in the future, you really have to think about it.

Asking the doctor to spend more money than she imagined, and now she has spent it all the time, and she still owes two times, and the future life will inevitably be tight, not to mention that there are more people in the family who don't work and eat.

Thinking of Li Qingzhi's body, Jin Xiaoye felt that he would probably not be able to do any work in the future, so he could only raise it at home.

Jin Xiaoye sighed, she had to think of ways to make money!

Jin Xiaoye fried the rice, and then carried it to the house with a stone mill in the village, and borrowed the stone mill from someone else to grind the rice into rice flour.

When she was grinding rice noodles, many people came, all of whom came to inquire about Li Qingzhi's situation.

Li Qingzhi came back suddenly, and he looked like he was dying...... In the past few days, the people in Miaoqian Village have been chatting, and it is all about him.

Jin Xiaoye knew that these people were asking for news to talk everywhere, but he still briefly told the situation at home, and by the way, he also told Li Qingzhi that he was not running away, but was arrested to dig stones, so as not to let the villagers say that Li Qingzhi was a liar all day long.

These people comforted Jin Xiaoye for a while, and then left satisfied, and went to someone else to talk about the Li family.

They had to tell people that Jin Xiaoye was pitiful, and the man finally came back, but his body was empty, and he couldn't work in the future.

But Li Qingzhi was able to wake up...... It's amazing!

The custom here in Miaoqian Village is that whoever holds a happy event or a funeral, relatives and friends have to send something, and if someone is seriously ill, they also have to go to see and send something.

However, there will be fewer things to send to the patient, usually only two or three eggs, and the flour that Jin Xiaoye made for Li Qingzhi to eat today was sent by her father and mother when she came to visit the patient.

After grinding the fried rice and returning home, Jin Xiaoye glanced at it and saw that Li Damao and Li Ermao had woken up and were catching insects in the field.

They have a hen and three ducks, all free-range.

She wanted to raise a few more, but it was not enough for the chickens and ducks to look for food outside, so she had to feed some food.

But now it's summer, Li Laogen goes down to the river every day to touch the snail and comes back and smashes it to feed the ducks, not to mention that the ducks grow fast and don't need to eat food, as for the chicken...... Li Damao and Li Ermao will catch insects for it to eat when they see them on weekdays, and they will dig earthworms to eat them.

"Mother!" Seeing Jin Xiaoye, two little black eggs rushed over, and then looked at the fried rice noodles that Jin Xiaoye was carrying.

Jin Xiaoye said: "Da Mao, you go to get firewood, Ermao, you go to carry water, and my mother will make rice noodles for you to eat." ”

Li Damao and Li Ermao immediately got busy.

Jin Xiaoye kept all the food in his house, but the firewood at home was placed in Li Laogen's house.

Li Damao brought the firewood, and Jin Xiaoye went to borrow a fire next door, and then began to boil water.

After the water boiled, she scooped out some soaked rice noodles in three bowls, and gave very few to Li Damao and Li Ermao, just to give them a taste, and more to Li Qingzhi.

Then, she added another bowl of rice to the pot and covered the pot.

Taking advantage of this time, she went to the house to pick a large handful of wakame beans, lifted the lid of the pot and threw it in with her hands in pieces, adding a little salt by the way.

Finally, she also took two eggs from the house, put them whole in a bowl, and steamed them on a steaming rack.

Jin Xiaoye's hands and feet were very fast, and he finished lunch in three or two clicks, and when he saw that the brewed rice noodles were cold, he took them to Li Qingzhi.

Fried rice noodles are ground from brown rice, and the taste is naturally not as delicate as rice noodles made from white rice.

But Li Qing took a mouthful of rice noodles in his mouth, and he already felt that his heart had drifted to the clouds.

The slightly burnt rice noodles touch the tip of the tongue, and the taste of starch spreads in the mouth......

There was no sugar added to this bowl of rice noodles, but Li Qingzhi tasted the sweetness, and he even felt that the energy brought by rice was nourishing his body.

This rice noodle is really delicious!

Seeing Li Qingzhi's intoxicated appearance, Li Damao and Li Ermao felt that the rice noodles in their hands were much more fragrant than they had eaten before.

Jin Xiaoye finally couldn't help but ask, "Is it so delicious?" ”

Li Qing insisted: "Xiaoye, in the past few years, I have eaten rice bran and bean dregs every day, and the food is worse than that of pigs......"

After the soybeans are extracted from oil, they can also be used to grind tofu, and the remaining bean dregs are generally used to feed pigs, but in the end they become the food of the original owner.

Even, it is good to be able to eat bean dregs, and the original owner can often only eat rice bran......

However, the original owner's food was better than his.

The polluted land could not grow food, and all he ate in the last few years was canned food produced before the end of the world.

Not to mention that these foods are expired and rotten, and they are contaminated, and the taste is really terrible.

Jin Xiaoye was more sympathetic to his man.

The people in the village thought that Li Qing was a liar because of his poor knowledge, but she didn't think that Li Qing was a liar.

Although his knowledge is not good, Li Qingzhi has indeed read books and can read and write.

And when she first got married, she noticed that Li Qingzhi didn't have any calluses on her hands and feet...... Before Li Qingzhi, he should have had a good life.

It is true that Li Qingzhi is very particular about weekdays, which is different from the village people.

However, I haven't seen it for a few years, and Li Qing, who used to be so particular, has become like this......
