Hearing what Leng Rushuang said, Li Yongnian sighed; "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer like this again in the future. If you know where Sister Yuanyuan and Xiaonan are, go and call them back. I Go cook, Xiaorou, come and help me."
Leng Xiaorou nodded hurriedly.
"good."
When he came to the kitchen, Li Yongnian looked at the kitchen knife in front of him and went to get the butcher's knife. Compared with his own kitchen knife, it was obvious that Zhang Teng's knife was better to use.
Asking Leng Xiaorou to light the fire, Li Yongnian cut off a few small pieces of meat, put them on the kitchen knife, and asked Leng Xiaorou to roast them.
"Husband, is this how you bake it?"
"Yes, bake it until it becomes oily."
"It turns out that my husband likes to eat barbecue. From now on, I will roast all the meat I buy for you."
Li Yongnian smiled and said nothing.
After Leng Xiaorou finished roasting, Li Yongnian took the kitchen knife and sprinkled some salt on the meat.
"Are you hungry already? Let's eat."
Leng Xiaorou said hurriedly: "Xiaorou is not hungry. I drank too much fish soup yesterday. I am really not hungry."
Li Yongnian said: "I'll be angry if you don't eat it. This is baked for you. If you don't gain weight, how will you have children in the future?"
Leng Xiaorou's face suddenly turned red.
Seeing Leng Xiaorou finishing the barbecue slowly, Li Yongnian asked with a smile.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious. Is your husband really not going to sell me out?"
Thinking of what Wang Ergou said, Leng Xiaorou still has lingering fears. When he was tied to the bed, he really thought that Li Yongnian didn't want her anymore.
Seeing Leng Xiaorou crying again, Li Yongnian squatted down and wanted to help Xiaorou wipe away her tears, but then he realized that his hands were full of oil.
"Don't worry, I will never leave Xiaorou in this life. Don't worry, stop crying. By the way, who has potatoes?"
"What are potatoes?"
Li Yongnian thought for a while, but it was difficult to explain.
"Who has carrots?"
"Oh, you can borrow this."
Li Yongnian was afraid that Leng Xiaorou would be bullied again, so he took Leng Xiaorou directly to borrow carrots.
In fact, he said he was borrowing it, but Li Yongnian planned to buy it.
Seeing Li Yongnian and Leng Xiaorou entering the courtyard, the villagers in the courtyard inevitably showed disdain in their eyes.
"Xiaorou, are you playing with your husband again?"
Li Yongnian said: "Aunt Wang, I want to buy some carrots from you."
"Oh, carrots. Do you want to buy this?"
Li Yongnian smiled and took out some copper coins.
"Yes, buy some radishes and stew meat to replenish Xiaorou's health."
Seeing the copper coins and broken silver in Li Yongnian's hand, the villagers laughed hurriedly.
"Then you've come to the right place. Last year's radishes are still uneaten in the cellar. How many do you want? I'll get them for you."
"Please give me more."
Soon the villagers brought up carrots covered with sprouts from the cellar.
Seeing this, Li Yongnian knew not to force it. After all, it was summer and all the new radishes were planted.
Seeing Li Yongnian and Leng Xiaorou leaving with radishes, the villagers hurriedly entered the house.
"His dad, where do you think Li Yongnian got his money?"
"You don't care where he gets the money. If he gives it to you, just keep it. Anyway, that little carrot is not worth the money."
"I'm just curious. The Li family seems to have some wealth."
Li Yongnian returned home and went into the kitchen again.
After a while, the kitchen was filled with aroma, and even Li Yongnian couldn't wait.
Fortunately, after a while, Wang Nan came back first.
As soon as we entered the yard, we went directly to the kitchen.
Seeing a large pot of radish stew, Wang Nan was stunned.
"This, this is too much."
Li Yongnian said: "It's hot in the summer, and it won't be cooked until it's done. I can't hold it in any longer, so I might as well cook it in one pot."
"You, you don't know your last name as soon as you have some money. Don't do this again."
Li Yongnian smiled and said: "This meat is not bought."
"Where did that come from?"
Li Yongnian smiled and said, "I'll tell you when Sister Yuanyuan comes back. She will definitely ask."
Sure enough, Liu Yuanyuan and Leng Rushuang came back not long after.
When I saw a big pot of radish stew, I thought Li Yongnian was spending too much money.
"Okay, I'll tell you later, eat the meat first."
After speaking, Li Yongnian filled a large bowl of meat and returned to the house.
The five people sat together, and Li Yongnian recounted his experience of going to the county seat.
Liu Yuanyuan said: "It's so dangerous, so don't go there next time, and save some money."
Leng Rushuang also said: "I heard that those two pork sellers are not good people. Sister is right."
Li Yongnian looked at the sunlight coming in above his head and smiled bitterly.
"Save? Money doesn't come from saving. Even if you save, you have to make the house better first and buy a bed. That shabby bed feels like it will fall apart at any time when you lie on it."
The five of them ate and chatted until they were full, but they didn't eat half of it.
Just as a few people were packing their things, a middle-aged man who was fairly well-dressed walked into the yard with a smile.
"Yongnian, Yongnian."
When Li Yongnian went out and took a look, he couldn't help but frown.
The person who came was called Song Qing, Li Yongnian's uncle.
When Li Yongnian's father died, this uncle was particularly diligent and defrauded Li Yongnian of thirty acres of land. He said he was taking care of it for Li Yongnian, but in fact he asked Li Yongnian to take his fingerprints without spending any money. So he 'sold' the land to him.
Of course, in addition to the thirty acres of land, Song Qingshun also had a lot of things at home that Song Qingshun could take away.
These are not the most hateful things. The most hateful thing is that when Li Yongnian's family of five could not eat, Liu Yuanyuan went to borrow food, but was harassed by Song Qing instead.
Liu Yuanyuan refused and kicked Liu Yuanyuan out.
The original owner had vague memories of this matter, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he beat Liu Yuanyuan because he didn't ask for the food back.
Thinking of this, Li Yongnian smiled and greeted him out.
"Uncle is here?"
Song Qing smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm just passing by. I just came to see what I'm eating that tastes so delicious?"
Li Yongnian said: "Carrot stew."
"You have a good life, unlike your uncle and me, who are starting to starve."
Li Yongnian thought to himself, my father bought dozens of acres of land for you back then, plus nearly a hundred acres of land that was tricked by me, how can I starve you?
"Really? Then just stay hungry."
Song Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "You kid is acting stupid again. I'm your uncle. How can you starve me when you have something to eat? This is not the magnanimity of a general."
Li Yongnian said: "I don't want to be a general now. I want to be a local landlord. Sister Yuanyuan said that local landlords are good. They have food and drink. Uncle, my father bought you a lot of land back then, right? You give it to me too, right?" Buy some and let me be the landlord.”
Song Qing looked at Li Yongnian, and for a moment he didn't know whether Li Yongnian was being stupid or trying to flatter himself.
"What's good about a landowner? Or the majesty of a general."
Li Yongnian shook his head and said: "The general is not good, the general will be hungry."
Song Qing said: "Don't you have meat to eat?"
Li Yongnian said: "Sister Yuanyuan said that my father didn't leave much gold and I can't eat a few meals, so I still want to be a landlord. Uncle, please buy me some land."
