"Mom, it's delicious, but it takes too much food." Qiu Degui said after finishing a bowl of rice.
Li Yunlan looked at the adults and children who were devouring food. It was quite a waste of food. If people don't have food in their stomachs for a long time, the demands of their stomachs will increase.
Today's dry rice is multigrain rice, a little brown rice mixed with millet and beans.
Just like this, I couldn't bear it and the whole family let go and ate.
Seeing the four little guys lowering their heads and eating delicious food, since they can't go back, they have to live well. No matter what time and place it is, it's just a mouthful! Whoever takes it seriously is a big fool, let alone showing it here. , that would be tantamount to digging your own grave.
It's true that you have to fill your stomach first. People who eat multigrain rice will have stomachaches.
After finishing the meal, Mrs. Liu put away the dishes and went to wash them. Mrs. Chen had already finished eating quickly and went into the house to take care of her.
The more I look at this eldest daughter-in-law, the more I like her. She doesn't fight or fight or care about her. She is filial and loves her children very much. She is such a good woman. All the hardships turned out to be joyful later on, and she became the emperor's mother-in-law.
Li Yunlan sat on a small stool and passed the exams on counting and three-character classics. When he got older, he could count to a hundred, so Li Yunlan taught some simple addition and subtraction.
The Three-Character Sutra can't be memorized without the bright moon, and Baoyu can also memorize it to Xi Meng's mother and choose a neighbor.
The brothers touched their bellies and the feeling of satisfaction after eating made them squint their eyes comfortably. The sound of children reciting came to their ears. Although they didn't understand it, they just found it pleasant to the ears.
When Mrs. Liu went in and out, she felt that such a life was enjoyable and fulfilling.
The time of harmony is always short-lived, and Chen's voice soon came.
"Baoyu, bring me a basin of water. My brother needs to take a bath."
Li Yunlan frowned, and Qiu Defu said: "Baoyu, learn from your grandma, and dad will fetch water." After saying that, he got up and went to the house to get a basin and go to the kitchen to fetch water.
Turning off the light at night: "Ms. Chen is getting more and more outrageous. How old is Baoyu? Let her fetch water for Chenggong to take a bath. I think fetching water is fake, but I don't think the child and her grandmother are real."
Ms. Liu fanned Pearl and said, "You used to feel sorry for your father! Why are you now facing your mother?"
"Nonsense! That's my mother, she's bad-mouthed and soft-hearted."
Mrs. Liu thought about it for a moment. Her mother-in-law scolded people and acted arrogantly. She also beat her son when he refused to obey her. She was also merciless when teasing her daughter-in-law. However, she was really not as cruel as other mothers-in-law in the village.
Not only did he beat and scold his daughter-in-law for not being a daughter-in-law, but he also withheld food and drink. Who lived in a village whose daughter-in-law couldn't bear the grinding and hung herself in the water? Who didn't like to beat, scold and abuse her granddaughter? She would start working at the age of four or five. She knows it all. My mother-in-law didn't have any of these. There were so many girls buried alive on the southern hillside. In the past two years, my mother-in-law didn't like her granddaughter very much, but she never thought about sending the girls to be buried alive.
This is the general among the dwarfs. They are afraid of comparison in everything. Once compared, the happiness will come out.
"Didn't my mother always tease her about my sister-in-law having a girl in the past two years? I guess that's where the anger comes from." Ms. Liu said suspiciously.
Qiu Degui turned over and said: "She is unfilial. Don't get involved with her, so as not to be misled by her. She is disrespectful to her elders and unfilial to her mother-in-law. Who is relying on her? She did everything herself. The second child is also unlucky to marry." Such a woman."
"Okay, go to sleep! I will be filial to my mother from now on, haha... Not to mention that my mother really likes pearls. She hugs and teases her at home. She is also kind to Baoyu and Mingyue, but she is indifferent to talent and success. ." Mrs. Liu smiled and heard Qiu Degui say: "My mother was like this to me and my second child when we were young. She was more biased towards Ruyi. My second child also complained. My mother said that when Ruyi gets older, she will have to marry someone to be a wife. , I have to endure hardships for a lifetime, and one day of happiness is just one day in front of my mother."
It was the first time that Mrs. Liu heard such words, which coincided with her thoughts. When her daughters got older, they would have to get married, and life would not be easy. As long as they were by her side, she would love them one more day.
The moonlight outside was like water, and the chirping of crickets at the base of the wall was like a lullaby. The entire Xiaoliu Village fell into sleep.
Li Yunlan used to think that it was because she got older and slept less, and she couldn't fall asleep because she slept too much. Now she runs around every day and falls asleep with her head on the pillow.
As soon as I felt like I fell asleep, the rooster crowed. One family's rooster crowed, and one after another the roosters in the whole village began to crow.
"I'm so annoyed. I'll kill you sooner or later and eat your meat." After saying that, he fell down and went back to sleep.
The eldest son's door was the first to open, and Mrs. Liu must have gotten up. Li Yunlan couldn't sleep even while lying down, so she stretched out and got out of bed, washed up, and went to the vegetable garden with a basket in her arms.
When the men in the fields came back to eat, Chen got up and went to the stream with Cheng Cheng's diaper.
Li Yunlan held the little success in his arms, and it was almost a hundred days in the blink of an eye. The little guy also changed. His flesh was white and tender, his little tongue was wrapped around it, and he smiled and waved his little hands and feet at Li Yunlan from time to time.
It made her laugh too, and several older children gathered around to tease him.
"Don't go to the ground after breakfast. You can beat the dates in the backyard, but if you don't beat them, the birds will eat them." Li Yunlan wanted to finish beating the dates and dry them in the sun to sell them in a herbal medicine store.
"I want to beat dates, I want to beat dates!" Several children pick up dates pecked by birds under the tree every day to eat, and they have to eat enough dates today.
Qiu Degui took a broom to the backyard and swept the floor clean. He told the children not to come forward and pick them up after they finished.
One is that it hurts when a jujube falls and hits it, and the other is that there are spicy seeds on the jujube leaves. If it falls on the body, it will hurt for several days.
Li Yunlan and several children stood in the aisle and watched. Qiu Defu took a big bamboo pole and began to beat it. Qiu Degui hooked the treetop with a hook and shook it, and there was a crackling sound on the ground.
The children couldn't wait to jump up.
Li Yunlan was also moved by their joy, and took them forward to pick up the basket.
Except for a few stubborn ones that were still growing on the tree tops, the rest were knocked down and their leaves fell to the ground.
"Keep an eye on it when you pick it up, so you don't get bitten by foreign hot dogs." Several children agreed without raising their heads.
While picking and eating, Li Yunlan originally reminded them that the dates were not washed, but considering that there was no pesticide pollution in this era, they were a little dusty at most, so she let them go.
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu also joined in. Chenggong also held a red date in his hand and kept talking oh oh oh.
"Success! What did you say? Do you also want to come down and pick dates?" Li Yunlan's answer was still the same giggles and oohs from Little Success, which made everyone happy.
When Qiu Degui saw that he was done picking it up, he took out a big round dustpan and poured the dates into it to dry.
Li Yunlan picked up a big one, rubbed it on his body and put it in his mouth. After one bite, it was crunchy and sweet. It was really delicious.
Maybe it’s because of the bumper harvest of jujubes this year or maybe because of the sweetness of jujubes. Everyone’s face is full of joy, they are talking, laughing, and playing, and it’s a happy atmosphere.
