Li Ping'an was also worried that Cao Ya would offend her. This girl was a cruel person, and he was afraid that she would feel burdened if she had money and would not be willing to spend it. If it were him, since he accepted it, not only would he be lavish with the money he got, but he would at least use part of it to improve his life.
Seeing her nodding, he said without saying anything more, "Okay, dinner should be almost ready. Bring the dishes and chopsticks to my house for dinner."
No one has extra rice bowls. Generally, when the village invites people to eat, three or four people can spare empty bowls. If there are more people, they have to bring their own bowls and chopsticks.
Caoya's family is still a bit shabby, like Li Dafang's and Li Dalin's families, they have to move all the tables and chairs there.
Chen Dajuan really spent a lot of money. She didn't celebrate when she moved into the bamboo house. The house was built with a lot of energy after adding a cow. There were six or seven tables in the open space in front of the house. Li Ping'an's uncle and aunt's family had a Call them all. There are not many good dishes. The chicken is not enough for one person, but the dry rice is enough to keep you full, and there is a bowl of chicken soup with meaty taste.
But this is enough. In the past month, no one here has had a dry bite to eat. This is an opportunity to celebrate a new life.
After eating happily in the dusk, everyone packed up and went back to their homes with their own bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs. Li Pingan also took the opportunity to tell his mother-in-law and aunt about the sweet-scented osmanthus harvest. It was impossible for them to do such a good thing. Those who disagree, even if the fields are still busy, they can still find time.
It was getting dark slowly, and the lively and noisy atmosphere became as deserted as the moon. Li Pingan walked into the room where the oil lamp was lit, and heard Fugui say to him in a teasing tone: "Brother, you are in trouble." , Master is angry today and scolds you at home for not being trustworthy!"
Li Ping'an was excited, "Oh no, I forgot to call Dr. Zhu when I went to the city this morning!"
"In addition to scolding me, did he say anything else?"
"Master said he would get up early tomorrow and come to block you!"
"It's okay. I'll apologize to him tomorrow." Li Ping'an felt relieved immediately, and then looked at his mother, "Mom, here are the things Mr. Wang gave me today, take them out and let me take a look."
Those things were really put away when his mother put them away. The fabrics were okay, but even for the snacks, they were reluctant to take them out to eat. They might get spoiled after a long time.
Chen Dajuan knew what Li Ping'an wanted to do, so she murmured a few words, then went back to the room and took out two backpacks. Only then did Ji Xiang Ruyi and the others realize that there was such a good thing at home. They all screamed in surprise and looked at each other in surprise. Stop, the light is blocked.
"Try one more time!" Chen Dajuan scolded angrily, "Keep your mouths shut and let me know if you speak out and see if I beat you up?!"
Mother's love is as hot as water, simple, crude and effective. The little ones immediately calmed down, pursed their lips tightly, and rolled their eyes.
Li Ping'an secretly laughed in his heart and took stock of the things Mr. Wang gave him. There was quite a lot of fabric. Each of his seven members of the family could use less than half of it to make several sets of new clothes. So he had an idea in mind and took out the moon-white piece of fabric first. "Mom, please use this piece of cloth to make two sets of clothes for me, Zhang Xiaoshan, and Xiaodong. We often run outside, and we also need to wear better clothes to show off our appearance, so that others can look comfortable. There are many It should be enough to dress Brother Dashan again."
What happened at the door of the inn today reminded him that although he felt that he was clean and respecting etiquette, it was still difficult for him to be elegant. Although this piece of fine linen given by Mr. Wang is far inferior to the silk and satin from wealthy families, it would not be rude to wear it for his current status.
Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Dong have been following him around all the time. He also wants to train these two people. He can't take care of everything. There must be someone to help him share the burden. They also need to dress better. That's it.
Chen Dajuan felt distressed, but she could still bear it. After Li Ping'an said so, he nodded.
Li Ping'an couldn't tell any difference in the remaining cloth. They were almost the same texture and the same plain color. He picked up two pieces casually, one for his parents to make clothes for themselves, and one for his grandmother and grandparents. The other one is for the younger siblings.
It wasn't that he worried too much, the main reason was that he didn't take the initiative to bring it up. His mother had designated that she would not make new clothes for him, his father, and his brothers and sisters.
Sure enough, when Ji Xiang Ruyi heard that her eldest brother asked her mother to make them new clothes, they were all so excited that they forgot what her mother had just said. However, as soon as she made a sound, her mother retracted her head in fright with a glare from her mother.
"Whatever you do, they grow like seedlings in the field. I heard you said you made them new clothes a year ago. See for yourself. In less than a year, every one of them is a little shorter. , you say it’s wasteful or not?”
"There is no waste. If they can't wear it, just put it away and give it to my children when the time comes. Besides, they only have a few new clothes, and they are all old clothes that have been remade into smaller sizes. Is it difficult to put away these cloths and not use them?" Are you waiting for it to be infested by insects, or do you want to take it to a cloth shop to exchange for money?"
"Hey, I believed you in the beginning, and you're still doing this now!" Chen Dajuan stepped forward and wanted to pull Li Ping'an's ears.
Li Ping'an nimbly dodged and ran behind his father, shouting dissatisfied: "Dad, please tell me, why do I always take the lead?"
"Your mother has the final say in matters at home."
"What, did I say it again?"
"You have the final say on the purchase and sale."
"...Mom, I was wrong!"
His father was unreliable, Li Pingan decisively admitted his mistake, and Chen Dajuan laughed angrily. Just when Li Pingan thought that his younger brother and sister's new clothes were useless, Chen Dajuan waved her hand and said: "Forget it, it's the cloth that Mr. Wang gave you after all. You Use it as you say!"
"Why don't you thank your mother quickly?" Li Ping'an quickly shouted to his four younger brothers and sisters.
Xiao Ruyi was the smartest one. As soon as Li Ping'an finished speaking, she hurriedly said thank you to her mother with a sweet voice. Chen Dajuan's heart suddenly softened and her eyes showed kindness.
Then comes auspiciousness, then prosperity, and finally wealth.
The two younger brothers are not as clever as the two younger sisters. Li Ping'an doesn't know what to say. That's all. It's good for the boys to be more honest. As long as their roots are not bad, they will be conservative in the future. If the two younger sisters are smarter, they will marry in the future. People can live a little better.
There was still a lot of fabric left, and Li Ping'an didn't have any other ideas, or maybe he did, but he was too lazy to worry about it and let his mother handle it on her own. Then he took stock of some pastries, which were basically pastries of good quality. It looks like what wealthy people often eat. There were two packs of roasted chestnuts among them, and Li Pingan suddenly realized, oh, by the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a time to eat chestnuts.
I don’t know if there are chestnuts on the mountains in Mingxia County. I didn’t pay attention to them before. I asked Brother Dashan to look for them when I go up the mountain tomorrow. If there are any, I can sell them for money.
Unfortunately, just after finishing the meal, even the greediest little Ruyi was drooling with greed, and could only watch helplessly as Li Ping'an took out bags of pastries.
Holding it, Li Ping'an suddenly paused. Looking at the wooden box exposed at the bottom, it always felt familiar, as if he had seen it before.
Blinking, "Dad, come and take a look at this!"
