After telling Mo Tingyu about Mo Li, Song Nanzhi was going to cook in the kitchen, "I've been busy for a long time, I'm going to cook!"
Mo Li said immediately after Song Nanzhi's words: "Grandma, I can cook!"
Mo Li's voice was a little soft, but Song Nanzhi could still hear it clearly. Seeing Mo Li looking at her with expectant eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay, you go help me light the fire." She will also belong to this family in the future. As a member, although she is not expected to do much to help the family, she still needs to be familiar with the up and down of the house, inside and out.
Mo Ziwan thought that Mo Li had just come to the house, and wanted to take more care of her, so she also said, "I'll go with you." After saying that, her little hand had already taken Mo Li's thin hand.
Li Li looked at Mo Ziwan with a smile on his face, "Yeah."
Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi showed a hint of relief when they saw the two of them. Mo Tingyu said: "Go quickly, both babies are hungry!"
Song Nanzhi responded with a smile: "Let's go now."
If Li Li hadn't come, the meat bought today would definitely not be eaten. It would have been marinated until the Li family came and then eaten.
Mo Li lit the fire skillfully, Song Nanzhi was only busy with things on the stove, and Mo Ziyuan accompanied them to talk to the two of them. In about half an hour, the three of them had the meal ready.
Li Li looked at the white rice on the table and the piece of meat that she had never been able to eat even during the Chinese New Year. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva just looking at it.
Not to mention that Mo Li is greedy for meat, but Mo Ziwan is also greedy. Even though she considers herself an adult, and the family makes her some meat dishes for her from time to time, she will eat them at the Han family if something happens. It tastes good, but when faced with delicious food, especially meat, I still can't help but want to eat it and swallow my saliva. It's just that she kept these in her heart.
After Mo Tingyu said "eat quickly", Mo Ziyuan stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat for Mo Tingyu. "Grandpa, eat it. Just eat the legs." After picking up a piece of meat for Mo Tingyu, she gave it to Mo Tingyu. Song Nanzhi took off a piece and said, "Grandma will eat it too. Grandma is not in good health and needs to take more supplements!"
Song Nanzhi also took a piece and put it in Mo Ziwan's bowl, saying, "I, Wanwan, also need to eat more. Only by eating more meat can we grow well."
Mo Ziyuan responded obediently: "Well, when I grow up, I can take care of grandpa and grandma." After that, she put another piece of meat into Mo Li's bowl and said, "Sister, I can eat it too. If you can grow up well, you can take care of grandpa and grandma with me in the future."
Mo Ziyuan gave Mo Li a piece of meat, and Song Nanzhi also took a piece of meat for Mo Li and put it into her bowl, "We will be a family from now on, don't be restricted. Eat quickly, and go with your sister after eating." Play."
"Hmm." Although Li Li didn't say much, he just said 'hmm', but he understood clearly in his heart. Ever since she could remember, she had never sat at the table and had a peaceful meal like she did today.
In the past, it was either a bowl of thin porridge with few grains of rice or a hardened wotou. Even if she ate these, she could not sit down at the table and eat them. She mostly ate them while squatting in the kitchen. . As for the three people in front of them, they not only spent a lot of money on themselves, but also cooked delicious food for themselves.
It is absolutely true that children from poor families should take charge of the family early. At a young age, they have to take on a lot of housework, not to mention that they have to be more sensitive. But the Mo family treats her well, even if she is not sensitive enough. She could feel how good they were to her, not to mention being as sensitive as she was, so she could feel this good even more.
Although Mo Tingyu's leg no longer hurts, he still can't sit for a long time, let alone stand for a long time! So after the meal, Song Nanzhi helped him back to the house to rest. While helping him back to the house, he told Mo Tingyu about selling the medicinal materials for thirty-two taels of silver. After speaking, he continued: "There are still twenty-six taels of silver left. After paying back the money owed to Shuxian and adding the five taels of silver left before, the family will have a total of nine taels of silver left."
After Song Nanzhi settled the account, he felt heartbroken again for the six taels of silver that Mo Li had spent, and continued: "If we hadn't spent six taels of silver, we could have saved fifteen taels of silver."
Mo Tingyu listened to Song Nanzhi finish settling the accounts. Not only could his family pay back all the money they owed to others immediately, but he could still have nearly ten taels of silver left, and his legs had also recovered well! The stone in his heart finally fell, and he said: "Not only have we paid off all the money we owe people, but we also have so much money left, we are already very comfortable." After saying this, he immediately continued: "Don't say anything. Wanwan has never asked us for anything since she was a child. She just said that she earned all the money. Besides, she is the only child in the family. That girl seems to be a responsible person. You can teach me more in the future. Stay with her and let her be Wanwan's companion. When we are no longer here, at least there will be someone to take care of Wanwan."
When Song Nanzhi heard what Mo Tingyu said, he felt relieved and no longer thought about buying the six taels of silver that Mo Li spent when he returned home, "It's the same principle. I'll teach her more in the future and let her Take good care of Wanwan from now on."
When Song Nanzhi helped Mo Tingyu back to the house, Mo Ziwan took Mo Li to the room where she usually wrote and read, preparing to give this room to Mo Li.
When they arrived at the room, Mo Ziwan said, "You will stay in this room from now on."
Li Qiye looked at the house and couldn't believe that he could live alone in a house, and asked, "Can I live alone?"
Mo Ziwan nodded and said, "Yes, this room will be your room from now on. I will take my books to my room later."
Mo Li was dragged out by his father to be sold. Unlike the people in Yahang, they were all trained by specialized people and knew that after being sold, they would become slaves and servants. The master comes first, serve well and take care of the master! Li Qiye didn't know this, and he was young, so he didn't understand it even more. He just followed Mo Ziyuan's words and responded: "Yeah." He also added: "I'll get it for you!" He didn't know at all. It was against the rules for her to live in a room by herself like this.
After Mo Ziwan arranged Mo Li's residence, Han Chunlin's voice rang outside, "Wanwan, I'm here!"
When Mo Ziwan heard Han Chunlin's voice, she pulled Mo Li out, "Brother Chunlin, a sister has come to our family. Mo Ziwan really didn't want to speak in such a childish tone, but there was no other way! If this doesn't show up, If you act childishly, you may be suspected of being abnormal!
Han Chunlin stood in the yard and looked at the shabby little girl standing with Mo Ziwan under the eaves, "Who is she?"
Mo Ziyuan said: "She was picked up by my grandma from the county. Grandma saw that she was pitiful so she let her live in our house from now on!" After speaking, she said innocently and happily: "In the future, I will not be the only child in our family. I’m a sister too.”
Han Chunlin walked under the eaves and looked at Mo Li, "But if she doesn't go back, won't her parents be anxious?"
Mo Ziwan looked at Mo Li and did not answer for her. She wanted to see if she had remembered everything she had said before. Fortunately, Mo Li followed her words.
"They won't worry about me!" Li Li said angrily.
"Why?" How could Han Chunlin understand Mo Li's life? He had lived in an environment where his father loved his mother since he was a child, and Yu Silian often whispered in his ears not to go to the county to play, otherwise he would be abducted by human traffickers. Then I won't be able to go home again, and my parents will be worried and anxious!
Li Qiye then replied: "Because they don't want me and want to sell me. I ran out secretly."
Han Chunlin was even more puzzled, "Why did they sell you?"
"Because there is no food at home, dad said he would sell me to get some money to buy food." Mo Li said truthfully.
Han Chunlin was about to break the casserole and ask, "Why is there no food in your family?"
In order to stop Han Chunlin from continuing to ask, Mo Ziwan spoke, "I know, I know!" She rushed to speak and then continued: "I heard when grandma asked Sister Mo Li that her parents didn't like her. And if they don’t want to work, they don’t have enough food at home, so they have to sell Sister Mo Li to get money to buy food.”
"And they want to sell Sister Mo Li to the bad guys. If Sister Mo Li hadn't escaped smartly, his father might have sold her to the bad guys."
After Mo Ziwan's explanation, Han Chunlin did not ask any more questions. He just sighed and said: "They are too bad! Then you have to hide it and don't let them find you."
Li Qiye still didn't say much and just said 'hmm'.
As soon as Han Chunlin arrived, the two of them could no longer talk. Before the books were taken away, they continued to read and write in the original room today.
Li Qiye didn't have anything else to do, so he just followed Mo Ziyuan, and the three of them turned around and entered the room again, preparing to study.
It's just that today is destined to be lively. Less than a quarter of an hour before the two of them entered the house to read, the shouts of '耀耀'' '耀耀'' came to mind again in the yard.
The three of them went out to take a look at the same time. There were three seven or eight-year-old children standing in the yard. After seeing Mo Ziwan coming out, one of the children said to Mo Ziwan with some anxiety: "Wanwan, we come to play with you, okay?" ?"
The person who asked the question was the eldest of the three, who was over eight years old. He hardly played with Mo Ziyuan on weekdays, but he often played with Han Chunlin.
Mo Ziwan saw the three children standing in the yard. Although they all knew each other, they were not familiar with them. After all, I have never played with them on weekdays, I only remember their names!
Thinking about what grandma and the others said when they came back from the fields in the past few days, people come to the fields to help every day, and the adults in these three families have all helped their own families in the past few days!
It’s not hard to guess the reason why they help their own family! Isn’t it because I taught Li Dagang how to read and write?
It’s okay, grandma is still worried about how to repay their favor, can’t she repay it now?
