Chapter 155: Farmhand
Nothing is constant, and Li Laosan always responds to everything.
He saw all the hard work Wang had gone through during this period and felt pain in his heart.
As summer came, the sun became hotter, but the work in the fields was too much and too fragmented for Li Laosan to finish it all by himself. Wang felt sorry for her husband and helped him every day under the scorching sun. Even with a straw hat, Wang's nose was still sunburned and peeled.
…
It was only in the second half of the night when Boss Li, who was sleeping in the small room, got up.
Yes, he lived alone in the delivery room where Du had given birth.
He could still faintly smell the smell of blood at the tip of his nose, and the confused Boss Li suddenly woke up and opened his eyes.
It wasn't a dream, it was real, he had a son.
Boss Li rolled over and got up. It was dark outside, but not quiet at all.
There were insects chirping, occasional wolf howls from the depths of Shuang'an Mountain, and occasional dog barks from the village.
The bright moonlight illuminates the path under Boss Li's feet and also illuminates the path in his heart.
The pot of meat baked yesterday became the meal on the table last night. Everyone ate without even looking up, so it wasn't considered a waste.
The meat that was cut before going to bed is now marinated and has absorbed the flavor.
Boss Li lit the fire, adjusted it to the appropriate size and started to dry the meat.
In the middle of the night, the aroma of meat wafts into the dreams of sleeping people.
People who have sweet dreams smack their lips.
San Ya screamed in her nightmare, and Qin Fangci woke up from her dream and hugged the child in her arms.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your mother is fine, good Sanya, good Sanya."
San Ya woke up with her little shoulders twitching. She was still immersed in boundless sorrow and couldn't help sobbing softly.
Qin Fangci held the person tightly in her arms, speaking softly over and over again.
Erya next door kicked and turned over, hugged Li Yulan's feet and fell asleep again.
"grandmother."
San Ya finally came back to her senses.
"Wake up, it's still dark, sleep a little longer, dear, your mother is fine, you forgot, didn't you?"
Sanya nodded and nestled in her grandmother's arms. Suddenly, she asked, "Grandma, can a girl be a doctor?"
Qin Fangci paused before answering Sanya's question, "Girls can become doctors, but it will be much harder for girls to take this path than boys. They will have to work many times harder than boys."
Sanya's mind was filled with the image of her mother falling down, and the basins of blood being brought out. "Grandma, I'm not afraid of hard work."
The little girl's voice was soft but firm.
Qin Fangci looked into the darkness and replied softly, "Okay, grandma will take you to find a doctor to learn from. If they are unwilling to accept girls as apprentices, we will find another way. Don't be afraid, you are still young, so you can take your time on this road."
"I know, Grandma."
Qin Fangci gently patted Sanya's back and said, "Go to sleep, good girl. You can go to see your mother tomorrow."
San Ya closed her eyes obediently, her uneasy heart was soothed, and the little girl soon fell asleep again.
Time is a ruthless thing. No matter whether you are lucky or unlucky, it moves forward according to its own inherent trajectory.
After just a few days, the color returned to Mrs. Du's face, and she could get up on her own and walk around the house freely.
Sidan was different every day. Wang took good care of the child. Sandan, who now had company, would cry loudly as soon as Wang put him down and held Sidan in her arms.
Wang had no choice but to carry Sandan on her back and then pick up Sida.
Mrs. Du's milk came in, but she wanted to feed her child so much that she could only squeeze the milk to feed the pigs.
Li Laosan found Li Laoer and went to Dongshi Village with him.
Zhang Lizheng was so happy that he came out to greet him in person. As a result, Li Laosan decided to recruit a long-term worker.
The smile on Zhang Lizheng's face faded a little, but then he adjusted his expression and became happy again. Almost everyone in Liantang Village went to work at Lao Li's house.
If we can recruit one long-term worker in Dongshi Village, we can also recruit two or three. There is no rush.
Zhang Lizheng smiled and said that he would take care of the matter and he could pick out several people for them right away.
While Zhang Chong was looking for someone, Li Zheng Zhang took the opportunity to ask about Mrs. Du and the child.
When he heard the Li family say that everything was fine, the smile on his face became more sincere.
"Good things happen to good people, as long as the mother and child are safe."
Zhang Chong quickly brought six people over.
Of the two Zhang families, one has many children, including older brothers and younger sisters. Even if the whole family tightens their belts, they can only eat half full.
Another family used to live well, but the mother fell ill and the wife's health deteriorated after giving birth. The two sick children dragged the family down.
There are two families belonging to Zheng, another big family in Dongshi Village.
A family had all died out, leaving behind only one child, who grew up eating at other families' homes. He was fifteen years old this year, and still had three years before he would become an adult and be able to get some land.
Another reason is that there are many children in the family, so it won’t make much difference if one of them is assigned to work as a long-term worker.
Then there were two families with different surnames. One family was surnamed Wu. They had only one son for three generations. In this generation, they married a fertile wife and had five sons in the family.
The other family is a hunter family that has always made a living by hunting. From Dongshi Village, they can go around two mountains to the other side of Shuang'an Mountain.
The old hunter had some friendship with Zhang Lizheng. A few years ago, he told Zhang Lizheng that if there were two acres of land left for him near Dongshi Village, he would let his children go down the mountain to become farmers because hunting was a dangerous job.
The six people lined up in the yard of Zhang Lizheng's house, and there were many villagers from Dongshi Village watching the fun at the door.
The sisters Xu Shuangyan and Xu Shuangfeng were among them. His family had not yet had servants, but Li Yulan's family did.
I heard that their family can eat meat every meal. If Li Yulan becomes their stepmother, wouldn’t they be able to eat meat every day too?
The school that their father originally wanted to open has not yet opened. His father went to the city to find a job. After more than a month, he only brought back a few copper coins. They still have to dig wild vegetables to eat every day.
The villagers laughed at them, and the Zhang family's children threw stones at them.
Grandma said that she was going to find a rich husband for them.
But they secretly heard that the rich in-laws' families meant that the women would be concubines to old men and maids to young masters with poor brains.
Grandma wanted to earn money so that Dad could continue his studies, marry a young and beautiful wife, and have a son.
They are just tools to make money.
Xu Shuangyan held Xu Shuangfeng's hand, and the two sisters walked away silently.
No one paid any attention to them, and everyone's eyes were on Li Laoer and Li Laosan.
Zhang Lizheng introduced them to the two brothers one by one with a smile, and said that each of them had a very miserable life.
Li Laoer snorted in his heart. They wanted to take away the farmhand, not a living Bodhisattva who came to save people.
What does it have to do with them whether it's miserable or not?
The moment Zhang Lizheng finished speaking, Zheng Qiaozi knelt down in front of Li Laosan.
"Master Li, please hire me. Just give me something to eat. I don't want any wages. I will work hard for your family every day."
