End of Chapter 103

Qin Fangci laughed, "Then do you think your mother was right to hit you?"

Si Ya thought for a longer time this time. She glanced at Qin Fangci with her little eyes, and when she met her smiling face, she shook her head cautiously and tentatively. Seeing that Qin Fangci didn't get angry and didn't want to pat her, she became bolder and said in a loud voice, "Mom, no! That's right! Grandma pats me."

The little girl waved her little hand and patted her own butt, meaning that she wanted Qin Fangci to pat Wang's butt.

Qin Fangci suppressed the smile that was about to appear on her lips. Children's words and phrases were indeed cute, but children were the best at reading adults' expressions. If she smiled, Si Ya would think it was right.

Qin Fangci simply picked up the little girl, and the mud dried up.

When their eyes met, Qin Fangci said, "Si Ya, your mother spanked you not only because you fell into the mud, but also because your clothes were dirty and she had to take you home to wash them..."

Qin Fangci slowed down her voice and spoke slowly. The family had been eating well recently, and everyone was talking more, so Si Ya could speak even more. Qin Fangci believed that if she spoke slowly, Si Ya would understand.

"We don't have enough money to pay everyone to do the laundry. If your clothes get ruined, Si Ya will have to go out naked. Do you think that's a good idea?"

Si Ya covered her little body and shook her head.

"Also, everyone at home is busy, rushing to plant the rice seedlings. We won't be able to harvest the crops until autumn. Your mother doesn't have time to wash you, and she's worried you might catch a cold. If you get sick, it'll be very uncomfortable, and you'll have to take bitter medicine..."

Si Ya thought of the medicine her uncle had taken a few days ago, and the bitter medicine her aunt had been taking recently, and her little nose wrinkled.

After Qin Fangci finished explaining the truth to Si Ya, she softly asked, "Si Ya, do you think your mother beat you now?"

Si Ya pouted and was about to cry, "Mom is right."

Qin Fangci smiled and shook her head, "You're not entirely right."

Now it was not only Si Ya who was confused, but San Ya as well.

"You're still young, and you didn't understand these principles from birth. I'll tell your parents later that if you didn't make mistakes on purpose, I'll reason with you first. If you keep doing it again and again after I've explained the reasons, then it won't be too late to beat you."

Sanya couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, is that my dad too?"

"Your father is an adult. He has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. If you do something naughty, grandma will beat you without any reason. In our family, only children and the elderly have the opportunity to make mistakes."

San Ya shook for her father, it felt so good.

No wonder her father is no longer lazy.

It took two days for Old Li's family to plant the rice seedlings in the field. As soon as it was completed, the spring plowing was officially over.

But the work in the fields is not over yet.

Weeding, fertilizing and insect catching have become common tasks, and someone has to look after the conditions in the fields every day.

Li Laoer has been very tired these two days. Mainly because he has to go back and forth to the county town to deliver goods every day after working in the fields. When he gets home, he is so tired that he doesn't want to move at all.

Li Laoer couldn't help but think that it was a good thing that the food at home was good. If it was just plain porridge without any oil or water, he would have collapsed on the way back and wouldn't have been able to make it back.

"Second brother, you've been running back and forth these past two days, you must have been tired."

Qin Fangci's words of concern made Li Laoer's eyes tear up. "Mom, you know I'm working hard, will you give me something?"

"You don't have to go into town tomorrow. We'll deliver the things. You can just rest at home for a day. In the morning, you can pull some weeds, and in the evening, you can water the vegetable patch."

That’s all! ?

"Mom—" Li Lao Er yelled, "I'm not tired, not at all. I'll go deliver the things. What if you go and I don't know anyone there, and I stop you at the door?"

"Don't worry, the boss only cares about the meat, not the people. Just stay home and work, we'll get things done. Oh, by the way, if you're not tired, remember to drain the fields early in the morning, and then go weed."

"Mom, I've finished all the work, what are the eldest and third brothers doing?"

Li Laoda's eyes lit up with excitement. "Of course we're going to visit the county town with Mom. Second brother, you should work hard at home. You can go to the county town every day. You can walk through those streets with your eyes closed, right?"

Very good, I gave him his words back.

"mother……"

Qin Fangci waved her hand to interrupt him, "Your affairs have been arranged."

Li Laoer: "..."

It's just regret.

When I went to the city with my mother, even if she didn't buy him anything, she would always get a meat bun. Although the family made buns for several meals, they were always different from the ones bought outside.

It would be a shame if you didn’t get to eat it.

"Mom, I'll stay home." Li Laosan said with a smile, "Let Sandan stay too. I'll make him some porridge if he's hungry. Let Cuiyun go with you, and take Si Ya with you."

"Okay, tomorrow you get up early and grind the beans. We'll order some tofu to take with you. You can grind them again at noon, and we'll come back and order two more buckets. We'll take them to the nearby village to sell in the evening."

"I know, mother." Li Laosan agreed.

The eldest brother Li didn't dare to say a word. He was nervous and expectant, afraid that as soon as his mother opened her mouth, she would ask him to stay home and work. But he also thought that since the second and third brothers were staying, she would probably take him with her, right?

In case my mother buys a lot of things, he can help carry them. Oh, by the way, when she goes, she also needs to carry the tofu and dried meat, so he has to do it too... right?

"Boss, stay home too."

Li Lao Er laughed, and Li Lao Da was devastated.

"Mom, what am I doing staying home?"

All the work was done by the second and third sons.

"You stay at home and feed the pigs, ducks and chickens, fetch water and cook."

Mrs. Du and Boss Li both widened their eyes.

Boss Li asked in surprise, "That's not Daya Niang's job."

"Yes," Qin Fangci said casually, "She's going to the city with us tomorrow. What's wrong with you doing her work?"

Mrs. Du opened her mouth wide. Didn’t her mother ask Daya to take care of the child for her?

Compared to the two adults who couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it, Daya, Erya and Sanya were just pure joy.

My mother rarely goes out.

It’s great to be able to go out.

It’s nice to go out with mom.

Qin Fangci did not intend to take Mrs. Du with her at first, as she was pregnant and it would be difficult for her to walk such a long distance back and forth.

Later, I thought that Du was already pregnant and needed to move around to facilitate delivery.

I was just going to buy some medicine for Li Yulan, and I wanted to take Mrs. Du with me to see her.

Giving birth here is like going to hell because of the poor ability to cope with various dangers during childbirth and the limited medical conditions.

If she had taken Mrs. Du to the city to see a doctor when she first arrived, she might have frightened the doctor as soon as she said that.

Although it's a little late now, at least it won't scare people.

"You've been busy for so long, go out for a walk and get some fresh air, and see what the road into the city is like. It's better to walk it yourself than to hear someone say it a hundred times."

Mrs. Du's eyes turned red and she lowered her head, unable to utter a word.

The children were all very happy. Dadan and Erdan couldn't help cheering, "Oh, oh, we're going to the city! We're going to the city!"

Qin Fangci poured the cold water on them without hesitation, "Do you remember what day it is today?"
