Although a donkey is not as expensive as a cow, it is still livestock and can be used to grind grain.
"My daughter, are these the cows and donkeys you bought?" Li An asked.
Li Mengyue looked at her father's house and knew that all the fruit tree seedlings on the mountain had been planted.
"Um."
Li An walked forward, led the cow and the donkey over, and prepared to tie them to the corner of the wall.
I used to think that the space at home was big, but after having a cow and a donkey, the yard suddenly became smaller, and the idea of building a house became stronger and stronger.
"Dad, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"Daughter, what's the matter? Tell me."
"I want to build a house. Our current house is too old. It's habitable now, but it won't be habitable in winter. So I want to finish building the house before winter comes."
When Li An heard his daughter talking about building a house, he felt guilty. When his daughter came back, not only did he not have the ability to feed her well, but his injured leg also made her a burden.
After leaving his hometown, in the past, he would have been satisfied as long as he had a place to stay.
But it’s different now that I have a daughter. I still have to find a way to let my daughter live in this house.
"My daughter, Daddy's leg is fine now. I'll go to town to buy bricks and tiles and choose an auspicious day."
"I just don't know where you want to build your house or what kind of house you want it to look like."
Li Mengyue was very satisfied that her father took action without asking. If Li An interfered too much in her affairs, she probably wouldn't have made so much effort.
"Just build it on the wasteland next door. I can give you the design of the house tomorrow."
"Okay."
After hearing the advice from his daughter, Li An happily went to buy bricks and tiles.
"Dad, drive the ox cart to town. It's faster this way. And after school this afternoon, go to Chongyu Academy to pick up my younger brothers."
Li An knew that his three sons had all gone to school, but he didn't expect that the first one was Chongyang Academy.
Although he had not received much education, he had heard of the great reputation of Chongyi Academy. Now he did not have to worry about the future livelihood of his three sons.
After all, he had studied in Chongyu Academy. Even if he did not take the imperial examination, literacy was a great advantage. In the future, he could be an accountant or a shopkeeper, which would be enough to support his family.
But he also felt that he was increasingly wronging his daughter.
Li Mengyue had promised to raise ducklings for the villagers, and she got them all. It can be said that every household in Qingshan Town raises ducklings.
The locusts on the ground were gradually disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there were not so many people coming to the Li family to sell locusts.
If we could harvest more than 1,000 kilograms a day before, now we are lucky to harvest 500 kilograms.
As the days passed, the three younger brothers adapted to the life in college. They got up early every day to go to school, and came back from school and ran happily to look for the little ducks.
It was just that something not so big happened when my three younger brothers were in college.
It was she who asked her mother to make backpacks for her younger brothers, and her classmates took a fancy to them and all wanted the same backpack.
Li Mengyue asked Mingyu to count how many people wanted it, fifty yuan each, and now they received three hundred orders.
In this way, asking the women in the village to make school bags can provide everyone with a job opportunity and earn more money.
The village chief's wife and others had experience in making fried locusts. They were all simple and honest people who would not cheat or do anything cunning. In addition, Li Mengyue would make some delicious food from time to time and give some to them, which won the hearts of several women.
So Li Mengyue asked her mother to find someone to make a schoolbag.
