Chapter 134: Daddy's Great Son
"Mom." Boss Li cried out aggrievedly.
He sleeps later than a dog and wakes up earlier than a chicken. This is what he is like today.
"Do you want to learn how to bake meat?"
A gentle word was like a cool breeze sent into Boss Li's troubled mind.
"Mom, you want to teach me?"
"If I don't teach you these skills, will you take them with you to your grave?" Qin Fangci asked back.
Boss Li looked around. It was dark and everyone was asleep except him and his mother.
"Hehe, mother, hehe."
"Mom, please slow down. It's dark and you can't see the road."
Qin Fangci held Boss Li's arm and patted his arm with her rough hands.
"Boss, your father appeared in my dream again two days ago."
A chill ran down Boss Li's spine. "Mom, my dad, what did my dad say?"
"Your father said that Boshun is the eldest son in the family after all, and as the eldest son, he has high hopes for you."
The flame lit up, and Boss Li turned his head to meet Qin Fangci's dark eyes, which frightened him so much that he shivered.
"It's okay, it's okay, my dear son, Dad." Two lines of tears flowed from Qin Fangci's eyes.
Boss Li was stunned, like a wooden chicken, his mouth opened and closed but he couldn't say a word.
"Dad has been begging your mother for a long time to give you this opportunity to support the family. If you don't behave properly, I will come and take you away next time, and make you sleep with me in the underworld, watching corpses rot."
Boss Li's eyes widened so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets. "Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad? Dad—"
"Shh..." Qin Fangci covered Boss Li's mouth with her hand, her voice weakening. "Don't shout. It's not good to let your brothers know that Dad only favors you. This is a matter between us. Don't tell your mother later. Be obedient, Dad is so obedient. You have to fight for Dad's dignity. Life is just a breath..."
The tearful eyes suddenly closed, and Qin Fangci's hand covering Boss Li's mouth also drooped down.
After a shiver, Qin Fangci opened her eyes again.
In this family, Li Laosan is the easiest to discipline, as long as you are sincerely kind to his wife and children.
Li Laoer was a little donkey that could work. All he needed was a carrot to hang on his shoulders. He only needed to tighten his leather every now and then to calm his wandering heart.
As for Boss Li, to put it nicely, he is obedient and well-behaved and won't get into big trouble.
To put it bluntly, they are just living a life of idleness and waiting to die. They want to rely on their parents above them, their children below them, and everyone in between.
Like a fire poker, it takes a lot of effort to move it.
Qin Fangci was in need of help, and what she wanted was someone who would take the initiative to help and work hard.
Li Lao Da is the eldest son of the Li family and the eldest son that Li Mugen holds in his hands. The backgrounds of Li Lao Er and Li Lao San have not shaken his position in Li Mugen's heart.
If Li Mugen had not died early, Boss Li would have been spoiled like a puddle of mud.
Qin Fangci had been thinking about how to make Boss Li more proactive, until it was dark and she went to bed before she saw Boss Li standing drowsy against the wall again.
"father,"
"What dad?" Qin Fangci opened her eyes in confusion and rubbed her forehead. "What's wrong with me? Did I do something just now? I can't remember it."
"Boss, give me a hand. I'm too old to bear it. I feel dizzy."
Boss Li's back was soaked with cold sweat, and he stood stiffly, allowing Qin Fangci to grab him.
The hands are warm.
"Why is the fire out again?" Qin Fangci let go of him. Boss Li shuddered. "I'll do it, Mom."
Boss Li squatted at the stove entrance and lit the fire. Qin Fangci tucked her hair behind her ears and continued what she had just said. "Boss, what did I just say to you? How come I suddenly forgot it?"
"No! No." Boss Li panicked, "Mom, you didn't say anything."
"Why didn't you tell me? Now I remember. I told you your father came to me in a dream and asked me to teach you some skills so that you, as the eldest brother, can hold your head up high in front of your younger brothers. I thought about it and decided to take advantage of this meat jerky business and hand it over to you."
"Mom, I will learn. I will definitely learn it well." Boss Li lit a big fire and smiled at Qin Fangci with a guilty and breathless smile.
He was scared to death.
I thought my mother had discovered that my father had been here.
Boss Li finally came to his senses at this moment. His father, who had been dead for many years, still loved him as much as ever.
Ever since his father left, he has either been disliked or scolded by his mother.
Dad is still the best.
Dad used to pat his head and say, "Shun, you're the eldest brother, you have to..."
Boss Li missed his father so much that he shed tears.
"Boss, the pot is hot. Put the dried meat in when it's about this hot..."
"Here I am, Mom." Boss Li wiped away his tears and stood beside Qin Fangci, learning very seriously.
As the night deepened, the wind blew and the clouds rolled, and the moon appeared and disappeared from time to time.
It looks like it will rain tomorrow.
Qin Fangci yawned and returned to the house. In the kitchen, Boss Li was cleaning up the mess alone.
Qin Fangci looked back and saw that the effect was good. She would ask Boss Li to bring some incense, candles and paper money to pay homage to Li Mugen's grave tomorrow.
Today it was Li Laoer's turn to get up and lead people into the mill. Li Yulan, Hu Hui's wife and the other two did the kitchen work.
This time, Qin Fangci gave the main task of ordering tofu to Yuan.
Yuan had already found the feeling last night, and Qin Fangci only needed a little guidance and she could do it very well.
Yuan was very happy and Qin Fangci was very satisfied.
"You can order the tofu yourself tomorrow."
Yuan's smile froze. "Mom, I, I can't do it alone. What if something breaks..."
"Then how many days do you want?" Qin Fangci asked softly.
Yuan thought carefully, "It will take at least five, six, seven, or eight days."
"Three days, you are very insightful, you must believe in yourself."
"Mom, what does it mean to be very perceptive?"
"Just praising you for being smart."
Yuan grinned and laughed, "Haha, Mom, you're so nice when you praise me now. Before, you always said I ate everything and left nothing, and was as lazy as a pig."
Pigs can be slaughtered and eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Qin Fangci: "(¬_¬) Are you not used to it? Are you being scolded?"
"No, no." Yuan came back to her senses. "Mom, someone's coming outside to get the tofu. I'll ask Daya to help me mark it. You should go back to the room and rest for a while."
Qin Fangci was no longer sleepy now. She wanted to go find the old village chief and see the land he had drawn.
As soon as the words were spoken, they spread throughout the village, and she hadn't even seen the land yet. Don't you think this is ridiculous?
When Qin Fangci arrived at the old village chief's house, the old village chief was also thinking of coming to see Qin Fangci.
It seems that the Li family's business has grown so big that it can no longer be carried out in the Li family's small courtyard. Not to mention, there are several bags of soybeans piled up in his house, and the Li family can't move them away. There is really no place to put them at home.
The old village chief seems to be more concerned about building the house than the Li family.
He had thought that if Qin Fangci couldn't spare the money, he could borrow the money from home first, and wait until Qin Fangci received the remaining nine taels of silver...
The old village chief stopped thinking about this.
How to say it.
I suddenly thought of that silly old lady Li.
