Li Laosi looked in the direction his wife was pointing, immediately threw down his wheelbarrow and dashed off.
Tao Hongying carried the child and two bags of grain off the truck.
The Li family was startled and rushed forward to help him up.
Old Mrs. Li, her face turning pale, snatched her granddaughter, calling her her "my darling," and then finished with a string of curses.
"What's wrong with the fourth brother? He hurt my granddaughter! I'll fight him to the death!"
As a result, Li Laosi actually carried a dairy goat back, grinning widely and laughing heartily.
The white goat milk soaked half of his shoulder, and everyone stared in delight.
"Oh my, oh my, what a wonderful thing! Heaven has opened its eyes, it's actually a dairy goat!"
"Great! Great! My little sister has milk to drink!"
Grandma Li kissed her granddaughter's forehead twice.
"Are you God's favorite daughter? You're so lucky! It's like God specially sent milk to you!"
Li Jiayin pouted smugly and spit out a bubble.
This is the food she prepared for herself!
When Jia'an and Jiaxi were eight or nine years old and being mischievous, they leaned forward and secretly touched their little sister's cheek.
Needless to say, the old lady immediately slapped him back.
"Grandma, we're just touching it, hoping to get some good luck. Maybe we'll even find a sheep later!"
"Come on, do you think this good thing is as easy as picking cabbage?"
Just as Old Mrs. Li was laughing and scolding happily, Wu Cuihua, the second daughter-in-law of Li Lao Er, was oblivious to the situation and said while swallowing her saliva.
“Mother, goat’s milk is never as good as your own. Why don’t we kill the goat and stew it? Hongying can drink some of the broth and that will help with milk production.”
Everyone's faces darkened upon hearing this, and Old Lady Li immediately slammed her pipe down on Wu Guihua, causing her to jump three feet high in pain.
"Useless thing! What do you know besides eating? You've been the laziest one the whole way, and now you're even going to stew the little girl's milk goat! Do you want to fly to the moon?!"
Wu Cuihua was most afraid of her mother-in-law, so she didn't dare to talk back and ran away.
Li Lao Er quickly apologized on behalf of his wife.
“Mother, she’s always been a simple-minded person, please don’t take it to heart. This goat is just for the little girl to drink milk, no one in the family can touch it, don’t worry.”
Seeing that everyone had forgotten she was still hungry, Li Jiayin quickly made a few excuses.
The little child was soft and delicate, with long eyelashes like tiny fans and big, bright eyes that made Old Lady Li's annoyance turn into a smile.
"Oh dear, is Grandma's little Lucky Girl hungry? Grandma will make you some goat milk right away!"
They hadn't gone far when the Li family's group stopped again because of a dairy goat, and set up a stove under the shade of a tree to cook goat milk.
We'll cook a large batch at once and put it in a big gourd. We can drink it whenever we're hungry, so we can't delay our journey any longer.
Jia'an and his boys couldn't contain their tempers and started running around and playing nearby.
Li Jiayin lay in her grandmother's arms, drinking fragrant goat milk, her bright eyes darting around.
Place a dozen or so eggs in the grass in front of Jia'an, and place a lame old hen behind a tree not far from Jiaxi.
Soon, the Li family's procession became lively again.
Jia'an jumped three feet high, holding up the two eggs in his hand, and shouted.
"Grandma, Grandma, it's an egg! I touched an egg!"
Li Lao Er rushed over and was so surprised to see a nest of more than a dozen eggs that he didn't know what to say.
Before he could turn around and give his family a definite answer, Jiaxi followed the clucking sound and pulled the hen out.
He himself seemed unable to believe it, and with great effort, he lifted the hen and shouted a single word to his second uncle, "Chicken!"
"Silly boy, why aren't you back yet? What are you waiting for!"
Old Mrs. Li waved her pipe and swiped it away into the distance.
It turned out that the boys were shouting so loudly that the refugees walking nearby had all gathered around.
The saying "wealth should not be flaunted" clearly shows that the Li family has attracted unwanted attention from outsiders.
Li Laosi pulled out a machete from under the wheelbarrow and glared fiercely at the people who had gathered around him.
Sure enough, those people hesitated and looked at Jiaxi and Jia'an for a moment before finally retreating.
Jiaxi and Jia'an were terrified and quickly ran back to their families, but they still didn't forget to show off.
"Grandma, look at the hen and eggs we found! We touched the little sister, we're so lucky!"
The Li family all laughed, secretly thinking it was probably a coincidence.
But Grandma Li had some doubts. One coincidence, two coincidences, what about three times?
She gently touched her granddaughter's little hand. The little girl was sleeping soundly, her eyelashes fluttering gently, a sight that could melt anyone's heart.
She instructed her third son's wife, "Boil the eggs for Hongying to nourish her body, and make soup with the hen after it settles down tonight."
After saying that, she made an excuse to use the restroom and went into the woods.
The woods were bare, with hardly any green grass, and she was somewhat disappointed after searching around.
After I relieved myself, I got up and found that not far in front of me, there was a patch of sweet potato vines growing.
She rushed over in a few steps, pulled up a stalk, and pulled out two sweet potatoes the size of her fists, which made her eyes red.
She ran back like a madwoman, snatched her granddaughter, and burst into tears.
"Waaah, our ancestors have blessed us! Heaven has opened its eyes! Gods and Buddhas fill the heavens! Waaah, our Li family is truly blessed! Waaah, we're so lucky!"
The Li family was startled by the old lady and quickly tried to comfort her.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, Mother, we are here. We will not let you suffer."
Only Jiayin, who was almost suffocating from being choked by the old lady, knew the truth.
She was so tired from moving the sweet potato vines out of her spatial dimension and then into such a distant forest that she was still feeling dizzy.
It's really not easy for a baby less than a day old to have to worry about the survival of their family.
But she must make it clear that she is blessed, and that this blessing must be etched in the hearts of everyone in the Li family.
This way, she can make better use of the space in the future and help her family solve their food and clothing problems...
"Fourth brother, stay home. Second and third brothers, take a covered basket and come with me!"
Grandma Li wiped away her tears, kissed her beloved granddaughter again, and then ordered her men to go dig sweet potatoes.
Jiayin could finally sleep peacefully. During this time, she was fed goat milk twice more. When she finally woke up, it was already dark.
She was held in Grandma Li's arms, with a bonfire in front of her and a drooling boy squatting beside it...
When Grandma Li saw that her granddaughter was awake, she quickly turned her back to her and helped her urinate, her face beaming with joy.
"My precious granddaughter has woken up. We'll have her milk in a little while."
Jia'an looked at his grandmother expectantly, "Grandma, when can we eat roasted sweet potatoes?"
"Eat, eat, all you ever do is eat!" The old lady glared at her grandson and scolded him in a low voice.
"You all better remember this: all the good things our family has received are thanks to your sister. From now on, you must treat her well. If you dare to bully her, I'll break your legs!"
The boys nodded quickly, and Old Lady Li glanced at the other campfires in the distance, lowering her voice even further.
"While others are starving, we have eggs to eat, goat milk to drink, stewed chicken, and roasted sweet potatoes. It's even better than life at home."
"You all keep your mouths shut! Good meat should be left to rot in the pot, understand?"
