Chapter 87 Busy
When those who went out returned home, it was already dark.
Everyone quickly washed up and went to bed.
Dadaner, despite being sleepy, called out to the bed next to him, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy."
Li Laoer was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He said angrily, "Why are you yelling? If you want to pee, go out and pee yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, snoring began.
Dadan also yawned, tears came out, and he fell asleep in seconds after listening to his father's snoring.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, it’s that his father doesn’t listen.
Qin Fangci got up just after midnight. When Li Lao Da and Li Lao San were woken up, Li Lao Da was confused. "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Pushing the mill, making tofu." Qin Fangci said concisely.
Boss Li yawned, with only one thought in his mind, "Mom, you should hire someone."
I get up in the middle of the night to grind the mill.
He was afraid that he would scare the evil-minded people into something bad happening to them.
Qin Fangci also felt that this was not a good idea. "It's hard to hire people these days. After the spring planting, we'll do a little less work today. When you're done, take it back and go back to sleep."
"Mom, my brother and I will go push the car. You go back to your room and sleep for a while." Li Laosan said.
Li Lao Da narrowed his eyes and glared at Li Lao San. "You are so filial! You are the only one who is filial! You are so outstanding."
"Once you get the hang of it, you two can go on your own some other day."
"Mom..." Boss Li wailed, "We grind the mill in the middle of the night, and we still have to go to the city to buy meat and sell things at dawn?"
"Tell the second son to take his wife to buy meat and sell other things. You go back and sleep for three hours before getting up and going to the fields."
"... Still need to go out?" Boss Li muttered.
"If you keep saying that, I'll slap you!"
The ears were finally quiet, and the mother and her two children went out together.
Fortunately, the mill is in a separate place, so the sound of grinding the mill will not disturb people's sleep.
An hour later, the three of them returned to the house. Wang got up. She had just finished feeding her son and changing his diaper. She came over yawning and said, "Mom, I'll help you make soy milk and filter the soy residue. I'm the boss. You should go back to sleep."
Boss Li had left with his eyes closed long ago. He had been pushing the mill so much that he walked in circles. He bumped into the door frame with a bang, and the pain was so severe that tears burst out and he woke up from his sleepiness.
ah! ! !
No one paid any attention to him.
It was Daya who was woken up by the noise. After listening carefully for a while, she confirmed that there was some movement outside. She got up in the dark, covered Erya and Sanya with quilts first, and then put on her clothes and went out.
"Third Uncle?" Daya called out uncertainly. It couldn't be her father who got up so late at night to work.
"I am your father!" Boss Li replied with tears in his eyes.
Daya: "...Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Could it be that grandpa appeared in dad’s dream?
"When you wake up, go to the kitchen to help your grandma. Why are you talking so much?" After saying this, Boss Li rubbed his nose and went back to the house.
Daya said "oh" and walked forward.
Li Laosan helped pour the soy milk into the pot in the kitchen before walking out.
I just happened to bump into Daya.
"Third Uncle?"
"What are you doing up? You're still young, go back to your room and sleep."
"Uncle San, is grandma making tofu? I'd like to help her."
Li Laosan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Go to our room and sleep with Sandan'er and Si Ya for a while. Your Third Aunt and I will come back after helping you."
"Go, go quickly, and be obedient."
In this family, Uncle San has always been so gentle and warm. Although he used to give more warmth and tenderness to Aunt San, Sister San and Brother San, they can also be taken care of by him.
Daya didn't say anything to refuse, "Okay, Uncle San, don't worry, I will take good care of my fourth sister and third brother."
Li Laosan smiled, watched Daya go into the house, and then went back to help his wife's mother.
Wang and Qin Fangci in the kitchen also heard the conversation outside. Seeing Li Laosan coming back, Wang felt distressed and sweet.
"Mom, the fried bean dregs tonight were so delicious. Shall we make fried bean dregs again tomorrow?"
"Sure. When there's more, you can feed some to the pigs if you can't finish it."
"Pigs eat bean dregs?" Wang was surprised and swallowed softly.
Qin Fangci smiled, "There will come a day when you've had enough. One day in the future, you'll realize that eating meat is just that, and you'll want to eat some wild vegetable paste instead."
Wang: "...That's not a heavenly life. I definitely still want to eat meat every day."
Talking about the future, doing the present.
Time passed quietly, and after working for more than two hours, they made a bucket of tofu pudding, a bucket of soy milk and a basket of dried tofu.
Qin Fangci started to prepare breakfast.
Pan He didn’t get to eat Roujiamo today.
Each person had a roujiamo, a portion of tofu pudding and a portion of soy milk. After they finished eating, Li Laoer, Yuan Shi, Du Shi, Li Yulan and Li Baisong all got up.
Qin Fangci handed over the work and took Li Laosan and Wang back to their rooms to sleep.
Li Laoer and Yuan received the good news, and they went shopping alone.
Qin Fangci glanced at the two people with grins on their faces. "Not every mistake brings an opportunity. When those thoughts of disunity emerge, we must learn to nip them in the bud. Don't wait until the opportunity is gone and regret it."
Li Lao Er and Yuan Shi froze for a moment, and both shook their heads, "Don't worry, Mom, it won't happen. We'll work hard now and won't make any more mistakes."
They hadn't thought about hiding the money just now, they were just very happy to be suddenly released alone.
"That's good. Breakfast is already in the pot. Eat some before you get back to work. We have a lot of work to do at home now. Don't burn yourself out. Hiring one more person means more wages."
Everyone nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would take good care of their health and work hard.
Qin Fangci returned to the room, lay on the bed and listened to the noise outside for a while.
I heard that Li Laoer and Yuan took some vegetables and half of the tofu out.
Li Yulan and Li Bosong carried the remaining half of the tofu to Hedong Town.
Half of the tofu pudding is sold in the village. Erya takes Sanya and Siya out to sell it and introduce how to eat tofu pudding. Du sells it at home, one cent per spoon. The biggest spoon in the house is enough to make a bowl.
The tofu pudding that cannot be sold is kept for home consumption.
All the soy milk was kept, and Qin Fangci instructed Dadan and Erdan to send some to the village chief's house, and also to send two bowls of tofu pudding.
Qin Fangci didn't know when she fell asleep. Everything fell silent and she could only sleep soundly.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
This sleep lasted for two hours.
Li Laosan and Wang also got up. Siya and Sandan had woken up long ago. In the middle, Wang fed Sandan. Li Laosan took the baby out and gave it to Sanya and went back to sleep. After Sandan played for a while and wanted to sleep again, Li Laosan also got up, put the child next to Wang and asked the mother and child to sleep well. He then carried a hoe and went to the field to find Li Laoda to work together.
After delivering the things, Dadan and Erdan came back and started to get busy. Erdan released the ducks, while Dadan and Daya cut grass to feed the pigs and cleaned the pigpen. Although Dadan didn't want to do it, grandma said that clean pigs would not easily get sick. When the New Year came, the family would slaughter a pig and not sell any of it, but keep enough for the family to eat.
The temptation is so great that a little bit of pig manure odor is not unbearable.
