"Okay, okay." Li Shu wiped his eyes, looking excited.
She just wanted a place where she could hide herself, but before returning to Sanliu Village, she felt that her wish would not be easy to realize.
Because they were far away from each other for so many years, they had not had close contact with Sanliu Village. She didn't know if Li Liang, the eldest brother, was still the same as before.
Even if it were like before, Li Liang's family would not have room for her mother and three to live. Li Liang had four children.
Moreover, Li grains also need to supplement Li buckwheat.
Li Qiao was still young when they met before, and he disliked her, the incompetent and distant third sister, and looked impatient when he spoke.
What's more, after her parents were gone, she came to attend the funeral, and Li Qiao complained that she had killed her parents...
Therefore, even if Li Qiao's family has a vacant house, there is really no guarantee whether they would let her live in it or not.
But even though she was worried, she could only take her two children back to Sanliu Village.
She had nowhere to go but here.
Fortunately, the little brother who used to be ignorant and only knew how to play, eat and drink suddenly became better. Not only did he start a family, but he also started such a big business.
Sure enough, her parents were right. Her little brother was just playful in the past, but he has a smart mind. Once he calms down, he will definitely impress others!
After settling Li Shu, Song Zhaodi, and Song Xiaocao, they were sent back to the old house after dinner, and then Li Qiao and Tao Zhu slowly returned to the new house.
close the door.
Wash up.
Originally, the two of them wanted to have some serious fun, but it was getting late now, so they took a hurried shower in the shower room and went back to the bedroom.
The fire bed in the bedroom was already warm. When he got into bed, Li Qiao could not help but stretch his limbs in comfort.
He rolled around in the bed and saw Tao Zhu also sitting on the bed, so he stretched out his hands and hugged Tao Zhu's waist.
Smelling Tao Zhu's scent of soapberry, which was the same as his own, he couldn't help but sigh: "You can't live without a fire pit in winter, just like Li Qiao cannot live without Tao Zhu."
Tao Zhu was wiping his hair. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing: "Don't lie down, get up and I'll wipe your hair."
"No, it'll be done in a moment."
Li Qiao was too lazy to move.
Seeing this, Tao Zhu quickly wiped his hair, and then took another dry cloth from the coat rack to wipe his hair.
"If you don't dry your hair, you will get a headache over time." He said while wiping it.
"Brother Zhu is so nice~"
Li Qiao simply turned around in the bed and put his head on Tao Zhu's lap to make it easier for Tao Zhu to move.
"It's not as good as you. If only I could have a brother like you." Tao Zhu felt a little emotional when he thought about the time he was threatened by Lai Dongmei.
"It's enough for you to have me as your husband. What do you want about a younger brother?" Li Qiao said and pinched the soft flesh around his waist.
"Yes." Tao Zhu couldn't help but laugh because it was a little itchy, but thinking of Li Qiao's attitude toward Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao today, he slowed down in wiping his hair.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked: "Do you like children very much?"
"I don't like it." Li Qiao answered quickly.
"But you like Zhaodi and Xiaocao very much." Tao Zhu pursed his lips, feeling a little disappointed.
He and Li Qiao had been married for half a year. Li Qiao worked hard almost every night, but there was no movement in his stomach...
"Zhao Di and Xiao Cao are the third sister's children, and they are very well-behaved. Of course I like them. But today is the first time we have met, and our relationship is not deep, so I feel sorry for them rather than liking them."
"Children shouldn't have to suffer so much."
Li Qiao frowned when he thought of the scars on Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao.
But he quickly added: "Don't think too much, and don't be anxious. The child is my responsibility. But I don't want to take on this responsibility now, and I can't take it on."
"Besides, you are still young and you shouldn't have children too early."
"...I'm young? When my sister-in-law is my age, mountains can run all over the place."
Li Qiao always feels that he is young, but he is not young.
Moreover, Li Qiao is younger than him!
"I just passed my twentieth birthday, I feel young. If you are not pregnant in three years, then think about it again."
"You should be able to notice that I am different from other men. Eight out of ten other men hope to stay, but I don't care."
"The child can only stay with us for more than ten years. After more than ten years, the child will get married and have his own small family. So the one who will really accompany me for the rest of his life is you."
"Our happiness is the most important thing, don't you think that's the truth?"
Li Qiao was originally lying on his side with his cheek facing Tao Zhu's waist, but after saying this, he turned over and lay straight to look at Tao Zhu's face.
Tao Zhu: "..."
He wanted to laugh, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
These words really spoke to his heart. In fact, he didn't want children now. He hadn't had enough of the world of two yet.
Now this person has to study every day, and the time spent with him has been greatly shortened. If he has another child, with his sense of responsibility, he will definitely take time to spend with his child every day.
That leaves him even less time.
After almost twenty years of suffering, now I have only been pampered by this man for half a year. He has not enjoyed enough of this sweetness.
Since this person doesn't want to have children, that's fine.
"You can laugh if you want, but you still need to cover yourself in front of me?" Seeing Tao Zhu's expression clearly, Li Qiao reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist.
The itch spread quickly, and Tao Zhu laughed so much that he fell on the quilt. Li Qiao simply hugged him tightly with his hands and feet, and then rolled into the quilt.
Tonight is another happy night.
However, he was worried about having a lot of work tomorrow and Li Shu was there, so Li Qiao didn't make much fuss. The next day, the two of them got up at around five o'clock.
After washing, Li Dashan, Li Chuntao and Li Shu's mother came over.
Afraid of Li Shu's restraint, Li Qiao specially told Li Dashan and Li Chuntao last night to call Li Shu in the next few days and come to the new house with Li Shu's three mothers.
Although they changed places last night, the fire kang was too comfortable and they were too tired, so Li Shu, Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao did not acknowledge the bed and quickly fell asleep.
After a good night's sleep, I came to the new house and saw Li Chuntao making breakfast. Li Shu held a child in each hand and asked Li Qiao: "Xiao Qiao, do you want me to help Chuntao cook?"
"No, just let Chuntao make it by yourself. You, Zhaodi and Xiaocao will pickle the eggs. There are too many eggs given by others and you can't eat them all at once, so you have to pickle them."
Li Qiao was not polite to Li Shu, and even arranged the work of Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao.
The more polite he was, the more uneasy Li Shu felt.
Only by working can the three mothers of Li and Shu feel at ease.
Sure enough, after hearing Li Qiao's words, Li Shu sighed loudly.
So Li Qiao led Li Shu and the others to the room where the eggs were kept.
There were thousands of eggs in this room. Li Shu was stunned. It was the first time she saw so many eggs!
What's more important is that so many eggs were not bought, but given to her little brother by others.
Her little brother is really coming of age!
Li Qiao needs two kinds of eggs, one is salted egg, which is mainly used to make green dumplings stuffed with egg yolk and meat floss.
The other one is spiced eggs, which you can keep for yourself.
The eggs need to be washed before pickling them. In the winter, the well water was cold, so Li Qiao did not let the two children do it, so he and Li Shu washed them together.
But Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao couldn't sit still. The two siblings were either carrying eggs or carrying water. The little people were well-behaved and diligent. What's more valuable was that they were also steady in their work.
After washing enough eggs, Li Chuntao made breakfast and started it.
Egg pancakes, vermicelli buns, fried bacon with cabbage, cold large bone meat, and sweet potato noodle soup.
The portions were generous and filled the table.
Li Shu looked at the sumptuous breakfast, surprised and uneasy: "You didn't do so much just to entertain us three, right?"
"Of course not!" Li Dashan said quickly: "Third aunt, you can rest assured to eat. The food at my uncle's house is always like this. And because breakfast needs to be lighter, I don't make too much. It's really rich at noon."
"That's good, that's good."
Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't make so many delicious food just because of the three of them, otherwise she won't be able to eat any more.
However, lunch can be more sumptuous?
There are already two meat dishes. Is it possible that we need four for lunch?
"Third sister, you and your children eat quickly, or the food will get cold." Li Qiao asked Li Shu to eat quickly and don't just talk.
After everyone started eating, he took a sip of sweet potato noodle soup.
This sweet potato noodle soup is made with sweet potatoes added to the noodle soup. It is a specialty of Pingcheng. It contains sucrose and is very sweet. If you take a sip in the morning, your stomach will be warm and your appetite will be whetted.
He took a vermicelli bun and said to Li Shu while eating it: "Third sister, Dashan and Chuntao are working here now, and they are paid sixty cents a day. You will also work here from today. How about I give you a salary of sixty cents a day?"
"this……"
Li Shu, who was chewing the bun, was stunned.
Li Qiao's words were really sudden to her.
Her little brother wants to pay her wages?
"I know your brain is dizzy now and you are confused about the future, but I am not confused, so if you work here for a day, I will give you a day's wages. I can't cheat anyone, but I can't cheat you. .”
"There are also Zhaodi and Xiaocao, two child laborers who also need to be paid, thirty cash a day, how about it?"
Li Shu: "!"
Although her brain was still dizzy, she shook her head reflexively: "No, no, no, no, they are too young to do any work, so there is no need to pay them."
"Zhaodi and Xiaocao are both hard-working children. They worked hard when pickling the eggs just now. I am their uncle, how can I let them work in vain. That's it."
Li Qiao said, turning to look at Tao Zhu: "From today on, we will give Third Sister, Zhaodi, and Xiaocao wages for their work."
Li Dashan and Li Chuntao's wages are paid daily, and Tao Zhu is responsible for each day.
