Chapter 74 Li De’s Meeting Gift (1/2)



Li Mengyue didn't know what happened in the threshing ground, so she returned home.

The roof of the house was repaired, the weeds were removed, and even some uneven areas in the yard had been leveled.

Looking at the brand new house, I feel very good.

Li Mengyue just entered the house and saw several people helping with the work, talking to her parents.

Seeing Li Mengyue coming back, Li De was the first to say, "My niece is back. Uncle De didn't prepare any good gifts for her. This is the fruit I bought in town. I said the little girl likes it."

Li Mengyue saw two apples on the table. They were not big and round like the apples in later generations, but rather small.

In fact, she had seen people selling apples in the town before, but she had eaten better ones, so she naturally looked down on this one.

It was Tuanzi who was clamoring for food, so she spent ten cents to buy two for Tuanzi. But after Tuanzi took a bite, he started to complain that the food was too sour and not tasty.

She knew that it was because Tuanzi had followed it and eaten a lot of delicious food, and his taste had become picky, so he thought the apples were not tasty.

She saw people buying apples on the street and said that their children loved them very much.

Although she didn't like eating, she saw that Li De was a little insecure, and she knew that he was willing to spend ten dollars to buy her a gift. His kindness was rare, so she said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle De, I really like eating."

Li De heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and said happily, "That's good, that's good."

Then he said to Li An, who was half lying on the bed, "Brother Li An, the house and the yard are almost cleaned up. There's nothing else to do. We'll leave first."

"Li De, we haven't seen each other for a while. Please stay for dinner before leaving." Li An tried to persuade him to stay.

"No, Brother Li An, I want to go home first."

"Yes, yes, yes, you should go home first to see your sister-in-law and the children, and don't let them worry." Li An just remembered that Li De had returned from town.

When I heard about his broken leg and his family situation, I didn't even have time to go home. I came to see him and help him pack his things.

There is nothing to do at home right now, so naturally I have to let Brother Li De go home first.

After Li De proposed to go home, Li Laogen's two sons, Li Dazhu and Li Erzhu, Wang Daniang's two sons, Wang Daniu and Wang Erniu, and the village chief's eldest son Li Youliang also said they wanted to go home.

Li Mengyue didn't stay here for long. She took two apples and went to the kitchen.

Seeing that so much food was cooked at noon and there was nothing left, I suddenly had a clear understanding of how much these grown men eat.

Some of the food and vegetables that had been placed on the bed were taken to the kitchen by Li.

While no one was paying attention, Li Mengyue took a dozen eggs from the space, poured some whole grain flour into the basin, cracked all the eggs into the basin, and then poured a little spiritual spring water.

Use chopsticks to stir the batter and prepare to make some multi-grain pancakes. Wrap some vegetables in it and it tastes pretty good.

The reason why she chose to make multi-grain pancakes was that there was only multi-grain flour at home, and it was not easy to get white flour from the space.

What's more, they had just moved in and were already eating whole-grain noodles. What would other villagers think? They would definitely think that the second branch of the Li family had become rich and was unwilling to support the elderly, so they wanted to make trouble for the old man's family.

She would not remember at all that her father had a broken leg and Old Lady Li refused to give him money for treatment, and that her mother was sick and had to continue working, which would affect their family's reputation.

She didn't care, but she was planning to send her two younger brothers to school, so her reputation was very important.

Second, multi-grain pancakes are simple to make and don’t take too long.

Several people who worked at home were unwilling to stay for dinner, and she couldn't let them go home with empty stomachs.

Moreover, she went to the village chief's house today and saw the food there. She also understood that if these people returned home, not only would they not be able to eat any good food, they probably wouldn't even be able to eat.

Besides, a few multi-grain pancakes were nothing to her.

Li Mengyue was preparing to light a fire.

"Sister, let me help you light the fire!"
