Chapter 40: Sons are more attractive than money
Smoke rises from Liantang Village.
A dining table was set up in the yard of Old Li's house, and the meals were served one by one, with a combination of meat and vegetables. It looked like he was living a good life.
Li Baisong walked slowly into the village with a book box on his back in the afterglow of the setting sun. Although his book box was called a book box, it was actually a backpack that Qin Fang asked Li Laosan to modify. A bamboo lid was added in the middle to divide the backpack into two parts. Pens and ink were placed at the bottom and books and papers were placed at the top.
"Uncle is back, uncle is back."
The smell of meat at home these days makes the children reluctant to go out to play.
Si Ya, who had become familiar with her uncle, ran up to Li Baisong happily and circled around him when she saw him.
Li Baisong simply picked her up and said, "Mom, I'm back."
"Wash your hands and come eat. We eat early today, so I left some food in the pot for you."
Li Baisong put Si Ya down and carried the book box into the house. When he came out, Dadaner and Erdaner had already fetched water. They smiled and waved at Li Baisong.
"Uncle, come quickly. We have prepared some water for you."
After Li Baisong washed his hands, Mrs. Du brought out the food with Erya.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Mrs. Du blushed, "We are a family, so don't be polite. If you don't have enough after eating, there will be more."
"I understand, sister-in-law."
Li Baisong brought the food and sat in the yard. The children spontaneously gathered around him and asked, "Do you want to eat more?"
The children all swallowed their saliva, but smiled and shook their heads at Li Bosong, "We've already eaten, uncle, you should eat quickly."
"Uncle, do you know how much money grandma earned today?" Erdan asked Li Baisong as he approached him.
Li Bosong smiled and shook his head, "I don't know."
"Oh..." Erdan walked away disappointed.
Dadan came up and said, "Uncle, can you tell grandma that our family goes to sell meat every day? I don't eat meat, but I can eat large intestines every day."
Li Bosong stuffed a piece of large intestine into Dadan'er's mouth and said, "Business is the adults' business. Your grandma will decide."
Big Egg left with satisfaction.
Li Baisong also gave a small piece of pork head to San Ya and Si Ya.
Sanya stopped Siya and said, "Uncle, you can eat by yourself. We have already eaten."
"Try some more after you've eaten. Take them and try to see if the ones in my bowl taste the same as the ones in yours."
Sanya and Siya then took the meat and tasted it carefully. After tasting it, the two little ones nodded seriously, "It tastes the same, uncle."
Li Baisong smiled even more happily. It was just that he was expelled from a not-so-good school. Look, the scenery is beautiful, the people are beautiful too, it’s no big deal.
"Uncle, can you teach us to count after dinner?" San Ya asked in a low voice.
"Of course." Li Bosong handed a piece of large intestine to Erdan, who had quietly returned. "You two brothers, don't run too far. Come and study later."
"How can you steal your uncle's food?" Yuan pretended to be angry and scolded.
I'm still counting on my uncle to come forward and catch the scammer and get the money back.
well……
"Mom, do you think this soil is fine enough?" Boss Li asked Qin Fangci loudly, "I think it's fine enough. I can even make dough by adding some water."
"Okay." Qin Fangci's voice was like the sound of nature. "Wash your hands, everyone. I'll tell you about the money I earned today and give you all some money."
The courtyard of Old Li's family seemed to have been paused.
Li Yulan was the first to rush to Qin Fangci's side. "Mom, I knew you were the best! You always keep your word. Mom, how much money do I have?"
"Wait, you'll know when I read it to you."
Everyone couldn't help but get excited. Li Laoer and Yuan looked at each other. They were not excited, but more nervous. Could it be that everyone was feeling the same but they weren't?
Qin Fangci quickly went back to the house and brought out half a string of money.
"Everyone contributed to the wild boar hunt this time. We'll split the payout based on how much effort was put in. The standard for how much effort is put in is mine."
"Old Third, you get eight cents. Old Third's family gets three cents."
Li Laosan rubbed his hands excitedly, took the money and handed it to Wang, "Keep it all for you, and give some to your mother."
"Six cents for the eldest brother, and three cents for the eldest sister." Boss Li stretched out his hand to take it, but Qin Fangci only gave him six cents.
"Mom, give me all the money. I manage the money in our family. Women are not steady with money."
"Pa!" Qin Fangci slapped Boss Li and took the money back from his hand.
"You take the money from the old family, and you take the money from your room. If he dares to mess with you, give the money to me and I will keep it for you. Let me see if your hands are weaker or mine."
Boss Li held his head and said hurriedly, "That's not what I meant, Mom. I didn't mean that your hands are unsteady."
"Next, Daya, three cents, Erya, two cents, and Sanya, one cent."
The eldest, second and third daughters were all shocked, as they also got money.
Daya has as many as adults.
"What kind of money would a little girl spend?" Boss Li said, but then he changed his tone and said, "Give me the money...and let your mother keep it."
Qin Fangci glanced at Mrs. Du and gave the money to Daya and Erya.
"Yulan, your salmon."
"Mom, isn't that a little too little? Can you give me another penny?"
Qin Fangci's face darkened. "Do you want to keep it yourself or should I keep it for you?"
"I'll take it myself." Li Yulan took the money and walked closer to Li Baisong.
"Little brother, do you think mother is..."
"Shh," Li Baisong raised a finger to his lips, "Fourth sister, if you think mother is wrong, you can discuss it with her in private. You shouldn't refute her in front of so many people. When the family needs you, if you refute her, your brothers and sisters-in-law will follow suit. If the rules are broken, everything will be in chaos. If mother gives me some money later, I'll give you a penny. Shhh... don't tell anyone, I don't have more to give to others."
Li Yulan smiled like a chick pecking at rice, "I know, I know, little brother, you have really grown up, hehe."
"When you have saved enough money, we will go to the city and buy you paper and pen to practice writing."
It was hard for Li Yulan to keep the smile on her face from being stiff. The silk flowers in her mind were stretched to the size of straw paper.
Qin Fangci didn't have much money left, and there was still money left to be divided between Li Baisong and Li Laoer.
The family of four couldn't help swallowing.
"Old Second, you have six coins, Old Second's family has three coins, and Big Egg and Second Egg each have one coin."
Yuan was immediately delighted and stepped forward with a smile.
Erdan was startled and pulled his elder brother forward as well.
The milk was given exclusively to my elder and second sisters.
Yuan glared at them and quietly pushed her two sons aside.
"You're so ignorant! Your father is in debt."
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
Qin Fangci didn't say much to Yuan and gave all the money from the second house to her.
"Milk!" Erdan screamed, "You just gave it all to Big Sister and the others! We have to get ours ourselves too."
Dadan nodded repeatedly. The two brothers were now in tune with each other. If they didn't get the money now, they would never get it later.
Yuan was so angry that she wanted to beat the child.
Sons are good, but money is more good now!
