"Li Lainan, if you can't even take care of a child, what else can you do? You're just eating for free all day long. I'm so lazy that you'll die."
Li Lai'nan was kicked unexpectedly and fell to the ground.
The face came into direct and intimate contact with the earth.
Fearing that Old Lady Li would kick him again, Li Lai'nan crawled and rolled away from his original place.
"Li Jindan has his own legs. What does it have to do with me if he runs around? Am I supposed to tie him up like a dog?"
What kind of kid is Li Jindan? He's like a time bomb.
She cries non-stop if something goes wrong.
If you didn't know, you would think someone was abusing him.
I let him sleep quietly in the house this morning, but he climbed through the window and ran out through the back door.
He is so disobedient, it’s better not to have such a brother.
I don't know why my parents and Old Lady Li protect him like the apple of their eye.
"Li Lainan, you're a dog, your whole family is a dog. If I hear you say bad things about Jindan again, I'm going to kick your dog legs."
Old Mrs. Li picked up the homemade wicker and yelled at Li Lai'nan.
Li Lai'nan was unable to dodge and was whipped hard on his calf. The area that was hit became visibly red and swollen.
"Don't let me see the golden egg again, or I'll beat you up every time I see it."
Li Lai'nan was not convinced and stiffened his neck to make harsh remarks.
She swore that for every slap and whip that Old Lady Li had given her, she would find an opportunity to get back at Li Jindan.
"You're such a rebel! If you dare to touch Jindan, I'll beat you to death, you little bastard."
Both of them have voices like loudspeakers.
Soon the golden egg in the house came out barefoot.
"Grandma, is the egg custard ready? I'm starving."
"Oh, my dear, wait a moment, I'll make it right away."
When facing Li Jindan, the old lady Li's face almost turned into a chrysanthemum.
"Hey, why don't you wear shoes? The floor is so hard. You'll be sorry if your feet get pricked."
Old Mrs. Li held Li Jindan in her arms and wiped the dust off the soles of Li Jindan's feet with her rough old hands.
"Li Lainan, go and get your brother's shoes."
Li Lai'nan didn't move.
Standing there, he sneered at the scene of the filial son and grandson.
"What are you looking at? I thought you were smart, but it turns out you're no different from those money-losing idiots. What are you still standing there for? Go to the river and wash your clothes and bring them back. You want me to argue over such a small matter? What the hell?"
Old Mrs. Li spat and turned to go into the house.
Li Lai'nan looked at the name he wrote most satisfyingly on the ground, which was stained with the thick sputum of Old Lady Li, and a mist rose in his eyes.
She pestered Xiaohua, a student in the village who was going to school, to teach her how to write this, and she even helped her cut pig grass for two days for this purpose.
They are obviously all Grandma Li’s grandchildren, why is there such a big difference between them?
Li Jindan eats when he is tired from playing every day, sleeps when he is full, and has all kinds of requests.
My sisters and I have endless work to do every day, endless children to take care of, and never enough food to eat.
The Li family has squeezed the value of the three sisters to the extreme.
The child is obviously in his teens, but he looks like he is five or six years old.
Thinking of this, Li Lai'nan's resentment towards the Li family deepened.
"What are you still standing there for? Wait for your clothes to grow legs on their own and come back."
When Old Lady Li saw Li Lai'nan standing there stupidly, she started yelling at him again.
Li Lai'nan ran away like the wind.
When we got to the river, there were no seats left.
The Li family's clothes were also placed on the side of the road.
You can tell that the person who put it there was very casual.
Many clothes were half hanging on the edge of the basin, and the other half lying on the ground.
The water and mud were mixed together, so all the previous washing by Old Lady Li was in vain.
Everyone lowered their heads and no one spoke to Li Lai'nan.
Li Lai'nan silently went to a place further downstream to wash clothes.
It was already dawn and Xiaowu's first morning run was over.
Cheng Fangyi was sweating profusely. He wiped himself casually with a towel, rolled up his sleeves and started to make a fire to cook breakfast.
He cooked the century egg and lean meat porridge that Su Qing wanted to eat, and then planned to go to the backyard to pick some corn.
In the yard, Xiaowu was sitting on the ground with his tongue sticking out.
Because she had just finished running, her little face was red.
His hair was soaked with sweat, and strands of it hung on his forehead.
Seeing Xiaowu's expression, Cheng Fangyi frowned, "Xiaowu, don't lie down immediately after running, get up and walk around."
"I have no strength left."
Xiaowu wished he could weld his butt to the floor.
"No, get up and walk around, unless you don't want to eat breakfast later. Xiaoliu, help your brother up."
Xiaowu stood up reluctantly, but his whole body was pressed against the wall.
This time Cheng Fangyi didn't say anything.
I went to the backyard to pick some corn, and then took a dozen sweet potatoes from the corner of the kitchen.
Wash it clean and cook it in a large iron pot.
"Qianshan, watch the fire. I'm going to the basement to cut some ham."
After the big pot meal was disbanded, the outer room of the basement became the Su family's storage room.
It's filled with all sorts of stuff.
The kitchen in the inner room is still in use.
Su's mother comes to make braised meat every few days.
Apart from food, the best-selling item on the black market is the braised meat made by Su's mother.
I lit the kerosene lamp, lifted the floral cloth on the table, and a huge ham came into view.
Cheng Fangyi sliced the ham skillfully, and slices of ham as thin as cicada wings fell into the bowl.
It is most delicious to eat porridge with some ham.
