Porridge and side dishes [farming]

Li Ji is not a fool, let alone a foolish person.In addition, he didn't have a good impression of their family, let alone bring trouble to his family because of them.Poor is pitiful, but it is love to help, and it is duty not to help.

There is no chapter or article in the Great Xia Law that states that if someone is pitiful, others must take the trouble on themselves.

Li Jidao: "The funeral is to be written, so let's send some rice and a penny. It's the best of benevolence. Our family's money is hard-earned. No matter how poor they are, let's help a few more, and the poor ones will become ours." Yes. And it’s also an observation point. If you write a penny and then be honest. After we raise rabbits and chickens, we need fewer people. Calling them mother and son to come over to help work and earn money to support the children will definitely be enough. If a If money and silver are too low and there are other things to come out, if we see them in the future, let's take a detour."

Li Ji likes to stay on the front line in everything.It will not lock the road, nor will it cause yourself to lose more.

That's it.Li Ji talked with them on the kang for a while.Four people were in the house, and they put a basin of ice on the ground.There is a plate on top of the ice, with herbal tea and fruit snacks in it.The melting ice cools the room, drinking herbal tea and eating chilled snacks, what a treat.

In the afternoon, the livestock and poultry will be fed again, and another female rabbit has given birth. In order not to startle the rabbits, I will first transfer this litter to a safe place, saving the livelier rabbits to jump in the cage Jumping around to disturb the safety of the newly born rabbit.

When the sun was setting in the west and dinner was being prepared, someone came and told Li Ji about the time for Da Heizi's banquet.

Red and white things are all about setting up banquets.When you go to eat, you naturally have to follow suit.

Li Ji prepared a penny.He also asked Er Gouzi to help, and together they weighed out two catties of rice for backup.

There was a severe drought last year, and the village didn't grow paddy fields very much. This year, no one grows rice.Even in previous years, the rice grown at home can only be eaten once every three to five days, and most of them have to be bought for silver.Rice is a refined grain, and one catty of rice can be exchanged for four or five catties of corn.

Rice is even rarer this year, and Li Ji sold ten catties of rice, which is already generous.It can even be said that there is no more than what Li Ji gave.

The main reason is that Li Ji felt sorry for the newborn child, who was still in its infancy, and his mother was gone. After that, breastfeeding would be a problem.Send the rice, and cook more rice soup in the future. Although it is not as good as milk, it is stuttering anyway, and it can make the child full.

Li Ji had heard since he was a child that his mother was over 50 when he was born, and she was weak, so there was no milk for him at all.At that time, in order to support Li Ji, Li Ji's father would take his mother's dowry begging bucket to ask for some milk for Li Ji when anyone had children.

Just ask for how much milk can there be?There are few people in the village, and there is not enough food at all.So Li Ji's father tightened his belt and wanted to buy a few catties of rice for Li Ji.On weekdays, he cooks porridge until it becomes thick, and then feeds it to Li Ji little by little.

Until weaning, Li Ji drank more rice soup than milk.But it's pretty strong so far.

The day of the funeral is the day after tomorrow, and the ceremony is held on that day, and the funeral is given to the deceased after the ceremony.

Of course, there is no need to go to the funeral of Li Ji, an elder.The family only needs to send an elder to follow Mr. Yin Yang's command, and the ordinary generation can go to watch the excitement, and the rest can only go to the younger generation.

This big blackie is quite young, and there are not many people in the village who can bury his wife, except for his own children.

It's a pity that the eldest son is only two or three years old, when he struggles to walk.The eldest daughter is not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, let alone five years old, not even 15 years old.

Treating her as a filial son is another topic.

In the past two years, many people have left the village.In fact, many people left before.Although things like four people are not common, they are not uncommon.No one can guarantee whether he will suddenly fall off the kang and die.

The more he saw life and death, Li Ji at this time was a little afraid that he would disappear suddenly.

In the past, I was single, and the whole family was not hungry, and I didn't feel anything when I was hungry and full.It even feels like people are gone when they are gone.Left and right he is an orphan, without care and care.

But ever since he was with Er Gouzi, Li Ji began to be afraid.Began to be afraid of dying suddenly.I'm afraid what Er Gouzi will do when he dies alone.Similarly, I can't imagine what it would be like if Er Gouzi was lost one day.

Li Ji is in his prime, he cares about all kinds of things, but he doesn't have the courage to think deeply.

Because when I saw Er Gouzi and thought of losing Er Gouzi, my heart hurt like a knife, and the breathing tube was hung by wire.The pain was severe, and the trembling was severe.

What will be prepared is ready.The meal was ready, and the three of them sat around and ate together.Ge Er and Ting Lan haven't dared to do this kind of work for several days.At this time, my back hurts too.

But it's not tiring at all, it looks like this is still ready to serve at any time.

Both of them are not young.That is to say, if they are well raised, they must be old men and old ladies in the village.After dinner, Li Ji didn't ask the two of them to take a bath. He set up an ice basin to cool down, and the two of them went to sleep on the kang after taking a bath.

In this summer, the bath water is cooler to enjoy.So not much hot water was boiled.Just adjust the temperature of the water.The two bathed every day, and there was nothing dirty, so they lathered for a while before going to bed.

In fact, opening the windows at this time is not afraid of mosquitoes anymore, because after lighting the mosquito repellent incense sent by the county magistrate, let alone words, ordinary flies are basically invisible.It's just because there are ice cubes in the room, which makes it very cool. If you open the door again, the cold air that has been accumulated with great difficulty will dissipate. It is better not to open the windows.

Lying on the kang for a while, Li Ji yawned lazily and changed to a comfortable position. He smelled the aroma of medicinal incense in the air, and his lazily hoarse voice said, "The days of last year were unexpected the year before. I couldn't imagine the days I had last year. When I always felt that the days were good, I will never enjoy them more than this. Only now do I know that a mountain is higher than a mountain."

Er Gouzi touched Li Ji's waist with his hands, Li Ji felt itchy and stretched out his hand to hold it down.

Er Gouzi said: "Then live the most comfortable life you like the most."

Li Ji said with a smile: "How can it be possible that all the good things are on my head, what I think is, if I can persist in the current life, I will be very satisfied."

Er Gouzi replied: "As long as I have you, I am very satisfied."

Li Ji liked what he said, stretched out his hand to rub Er Gouzi's head, and said with a smile, "You can say it."

The two laughed together, and Li Jicai arrived: "Let's work harder in the future, and strive to raise as much as we can. We have earned enough money, and the main thing is to do the fur business. The meat is not in a hurry to make money. At that time, as long as there is a car over there to pull the meat, it is best for someone to come down to help kill the rabbits. Let's earn three melons and two dates. If you buy leather and silver, there will be plenty of meat for the government. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Er Gouzi nodded: "We will continue to harvest grass."

But from the perspective of rabbits, if they want to raise them well, they have to eat a lot of forage every day. Fortunately, they only eat forage. There is plenty of grass on the mountain, so it is not a problem to cut more for them to eat in winter.

"Wait until the big black son's daughter-in-law is buried, and we will arrange it. If there are too many, we will build another one for the good medicine in the warehouse for the fodder. This way, even in winter, we don't have to worry about having more babies. In addition, there are still more babies in our yard. If we want to build another wing room, it would be good to find a bricklayer together.”

Li Ji thought about it inside and out, and regretted it: "You said why didn't you keep one more when you built the house? The Westinghouse was built in a small size, and basically didn't think about what to do with people who came here. You can even say that you don't want outsiders to come in at all. It's good now. Your father sent over two helpers, but there is no place to live."

If, when building the house, a wing room was built for the guests, it would not be embarrassing now.

After chatting for a while, Li Ji became tired and fell asleep slowly.

Feeling that the breathing of the person in his arms gradually calmed down, Er Gouzi hugged him for a while and then fell asleep.

County, county government.The county magistrate was dealing with official duties when he heard some panicked voices from outside.

The magistrate's words were distorted, he frowned, and put down his pen.

"Come in."

A yamen servant ran in quickly, with sweat on his face, and handed over a letter with both hands.

"This is an urgent message sent from three hundred miles north. Just arrived at the commander's side, the commander asked the villain to send it to you, master."

The county magistrate took the letter, opened it and read it quickly, and then read it word by word from the first word.

After a while, I put down the letter, took a deep breath, and let it out again.

"It's only been a few days, and four cities have been lost. After all, our Great Xia is a world fought by strong soldiers, how could it be so vulnerable!"

The yamen servant who came back to pass the letter was still trembling. Hearing the question from the magistrate, he tremblingly said: "Report to your lord, listen to the commander. The border gate has been vacant for many years, and the food and grass are insufficient. Moldy dregs are often seen. Many soldiers have eaten their stomachs, so naturally they can’t beat the well-prepared rebels.”

"Crack!" The magistrate slapped the table, gritted his teeth, and said, "This group of beasts! What time is it, and in the midst of the flames of war, they are still thinking about greed for Mo's few taels of silver! I never thought that a soldier would not be able to go to the battlefield , may have killed several civilians!"

The messenger said: "Not only that, but also...the news of the defeat spread to the capital, and after discussions with the officials in the court, they all believed that the frontier general was unfavorable, which caused the losing streak to be discredited by the court. Now the assassination order has been ordered. Death Border General, reassigned..."

"Who was reassigned?" The county magistrate asked in a deep voice.

The yamen servant who delivered the letter said tremblingly: "Yes...it is the second master of the Gao family from the empress dowager's mother's family. In three days, he will be in command and go to war."

"Nonsense!" The county magistrate frowned, and laughed angrily, "What kind of guy is that guy? Can the Gao family not know? Originally, the little fame is just a false reputation among generals. After reading two military books and studying Quanjiao for a few days, It’s true that when a person on the battlefield still thinks about his identity, let him fail!”

Chuanxin Yamen said: "I heard from the commanding officer that the rebellion in Kyoto is not important. I just think it's a mob. The successive captures of the city were only due to poor preparation. The Gao family even regarded it as a merit that was picked up in vain. Now Now when the Bai family officially eliminates dissidents, with more fame, it is only natural to climb to high positions in the future."

After hearing this, the magistrate closed his eyes and took it easy.Then he opened his mouth in some rooms: "I'm afraid this great Xia country will be in the hands of high-ranking thieves."

Chuanxin Yamen's body trembled: "My lord means..."

"Go and find the official family in my mansion, and then go to select a dozen people from the army, and then pick a dozen people from the yamen servants. As soon as possible." The county magistrate said.

Chuanxin Yamen was a little hesitant, and said: "The border is still three hundred miles away from here, and it will take half a year to fight here. It doesn't mean that we will always be defeated."

"Precautions are the best policy. The harem is in charge, and treacherous ministers are in charge. Even if the rebels in the north cannot fight, there are also those from the west and south. The summer is exhausted, and it is only a matter of time." The county magistrate sighed.

How does the Chuanxin Yamen understand this?Hearing what the magistrate said was so powerful, I felt even more frightened.No more delay, turn around and follow the county magistrate's wishes.

There are eggs under the overturned nest, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall (to take precautions before they happen). It is better to be more prepared than to be in a hurry one day.

The first to rush over were the selected ten robust yamen servants, and the county magistrate asked them to stand next to each other and continue to wait.Then came the chief butler of the mansion.

"Sir, what do you order?"

"Bring two people back to the mansion, and count 2000 taels of silver from my private treasury. Then send the officials in charge of purchasing, together with the army and government servants, to speed up the purchasing. Mainly grain, vegetables and meat. The best for storage .Every major blacksmith shop to see, how many weapons and armor you need. If you don’t have enough, go to the silver vault to get it. You can discuss what else you need. Don’t feel bad about the silver, just the quantity.” The county magistrate ordered meticulous.

The housekeeper was stunned: "Master, you mean... something happened?"

"Let's talk about this later, let's prepare first." The magistrate sighed, "I'd rather lose all my money."

It sounds serious.The officials did not dare to delay too much.After waiting for a while, the people sent by the Re army came over, picked two strong ones, and went back to the county grandfather's mansion together to collect the silver.

The official has followed the county magistrate for many years, and personally manages the private treasury for the county magistrate, which shows that he is a true confidant of the county magistrate.

It was arranged here, and the county magistrate called a trustworthy person again.Give him silver and ask him to send more cars and load more practical good things to send to Li and Er Gouzi.

At the same time, the plan to build a house on the mountain has to be advanced.The magistrate of the county did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite skilled and daring craftsmen to build a place in the mountains that is enough for the family to shelter from the wind and rain in the shortest possible time.

If the country is really broken one day.Perhaps the mountain, which has always been feared by people, will be the best place of refuge.

The magistrate of the county is a civil official who doesn't know how to dispatch troops and generals.It was really raging, and his pen and paper didn't work.

Where did Li Ji and Er Gouzi know about the county magistrate?At this time, they are in the mountain village with the mountains and rivers, and they are the most comfortable time.Don't say you don't know what happened, even if you know, it won't have much impact on them.

This place is remote.The chances of the rebels finding it here are slim.Because most of the rebels were heading towards the court, and the targets they passed were also the court's army and yamen.Most people are spared.Especially the horned Gelari place, it was originally a place where everyone could follow anyone.

It is enough to come here and say "I will be the emperor in the future" after winning the battle.

The big black daughter-in-law was buried because she was young and there were elders above her.It can't be done in a grand way.The coffin carried by four people walked through half the village and transported to the mountain.

A few scattered paper money for road money drifted far away with the breeze.

Behind the coffin, there were many cries.The five-year-old girl was crying sadly, but the two-year-old child didn't quite understand, and when he heard the crying everywhere, he was amused and giggled.

The aunt who was holding him felt a little embarrassed when he heard the laughter, pinched the child's buttocks, and then the earth-shaking crying sound spread far away.

Li Ji followed from a distance, watching the bridge, a pile of valuables flying by, feeling a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't explain it.

This woman, who married into Li's family at the age of 16, gave birth three times in six years, and died when the last child was born.A total of two sons and one daughter.He was diligent and thrifty in his life, but after his death, he was a bit miserable.

At the time of death, husbands, brothers, and even children, all refused to even look at him for the last time because they were afraid of getting bad luck.Li Ji wanted to know if she was really safe to leave.

The big black daughter-in-law was buried in peace.When Li Ji went home, he grabbed a handful of grass and teased the little rabbit who had just returned to graze.

Recently, Li Ji intends to breed pure white rabbits.Rabbits with the least fur are specially selected for mating and breeding.In the most expensive litter, there are already two that are close to pure white.It's just a little miscellaneous hair on the legs, which is a pity.

It is estimated that with another two or three bags, there will be a rabbit with completely white fur from head to tail.

This rabbit is a wild rabbit on the mountain. It is really not easy to breed a white rabbit.However, Li Ji couldn't buy a white rabbit after many inquiries, so he could only try it himself.

At this time, I heard movement outside.Li Ji didn't care at first, but when he heard the conversation, Li Ji threw the grass into the rabbit's nest, stood up and left the stable to have a look.

When he went out, he saw Ge Er talking to a person outside the door.Li Ji walked over, and before he could speak, Ge Er had already explained the matter to Li Ji.

"Master, that's the case. Tonight, the master will send a few more carriages. Let me send someone over to let you know in advance, so that you can make preparations."

Li Ji understood, nodded and said, "Aren't you going to sleep tonight?"

Ge Er smiled and said: "How can I disturb your sleeping time? In a while, I just need to prepare an empty space and put the things that the master is going to bring. Let the little one and Ting Lan watch the night together tonight. We used to be in the mansion There are also constant vigils inside, but it’s just in the middle of the night and it’s not a problem.”

How could Li Ji have the nerve to sleep by himself and ask someone to keep watch?He shook his head and refused: "Let's stay together. You are not as familiar with the family as I am. If you have more or less, how to arrange it? I have to allocate it."

After Li Ji spoke, he started to walk around the yard to see where he could make room.

When the magistrate sent things back last time, most of the places in the house were covered with things.It's really hard to plug things in.

But Li Ji's thoughts are still alive.Let Er Gouzi and Ge Er get involved, and move some wooden stakes and planks.

Set up piles and clamps in the warehouse, and then lay boards on it.After several adjustments, try to be as stable as possible.Then throw the rescue mat that is not used at home on it.Looking at it this way, the original warehouse was divided into upper and lower floors.The bottom is full and the top is empty.

Put more pillars, and then tie the joints tightly with ropes. People step on them and walk a few times to make sure that there is no problem, and then try to put a few bags of grain on them.

The four of them were so busy for nearly an afternoon to finish this.Look at the finished product, it's okay, it can really hold a lot of things in this way.However, it will be a bit strenuous to get the things underground, there is not much space flowing out below, and if you want to think about the things again, you have to crawl in and turn slowly.There is no light inside, and I dare not light wax to go in. If I want to find something, I have to touch it with my hands.

This is also an unavoidable solution, after all, it is impossible to build a warehouse in a short time.

Then Li Ji moved some of the firewood from the woodshed into the hut at the back of the house, and the hut was filled with firewood, so that more things could be bled in the woodshed.

If these places are not enough, it can only be put in the backyard first, and then sent to the hay warehouse outside when there is time.

I hope the magistrate will not be so honest this time, and send less writing.

But obviously, the magistrate did not hear Li Ji's expectations.

After staying up until midnight, when the carriage sent by the county magistrate's mansion arrived, Li Ji looked at the five fully loaded carriages and felt that the inside seemed to be getting hotter. Otherwise, where did the sweat on his head come from?

"It may not be possible to let go of so many things." Li Ji said.

The leading groom wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Eat half of it, just put it in a cool place, and eat it as soon as possible without fear of spoiling. The rest is what you need in your daily life. This time the bedding and pillows are all After waiting, there are still cotton coats for winter. In fact, there are many more that I want to send over. It’s just that there are too many cars at night and people will notice them, so I can only send them in batches. If you really don’t think so The place is free, and it is easy to build another house in the back. The left and right sides are remote, and there are not many people on this side. It is easy to explain to the village, only that the master is afraid that he will not live well, so he will build another good one. That's it."

Li Ji shook his head and said: "It's not possible right now. It's said that Er Gouzi should keep a low profile in the village and build a house so ostentatiously."

Li Ji opened the door first to let the carriage in.The yard is quite big, but most of it is planted with vegetables, and three carriages are already the limit.

Command first, and unload the three carriages in Jinyuan.Categorize what you eat, which ones are not durable and need to be eaten in the near future, and which ones can be stored for a long time.

Some things that can be consumed in the short term are simply piled up in the house.Like snacks, even a few large bags were stuffed in the clothes cabinet.

It's hard enough stuffing these three wagons.Li Ji looked at the remaining two carriages, feeling a little desperate.

The allocated space in the warehouse was also full, and Li Ji even moved out the unused baskets at home.When they are full, they are all hung on the beams of the house.

The coachman felt embarrassed, so he forced a smile and said, "Why don't you take it back, you little ones. I'll send it to you when Gaier has a space tomorrow?"

"It's coming all the way, it's so troublesome to take it back."

Li Ji turned his head and whispered to Er Gouzi, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said: "By the way, why did I forget? There is a cave on the mountain! The cave where my mother lived with Er Gouzi is still there. Er Gouzi lived on the mountain all these years The cave in the mountain is also there. It’s in the mountain. Mother’s cave is closer, but maybe someone will pass by and find it. But the cave in the mountain will never be occupied. It’s just very far away. "

"There is no other way. For now, let's send it to the cave where my wife lived. If someone finds out, it just makes sense to say that my family placed an offering for my wife."

If it is stolen, no one will feel bad.It is gratifying to lose it, but it is not precious to buy another copy if you have money.

In this way, taking advantage of the moonlight, Li Ji went into the mountain with two carriages to look for the cave where Li Yan and Er Gouzi lived.

When Li Yan left, the cave was empty.At most, some naughty children walked around the mountain and found the cave by accident.Now no one goes there.If any child came home and said that he had been to a cave in the mountains, he would definitely be beaten.

Li Ji could find it, but it was difficult for the carriage to go up the mountain, it was bumpy and moved very slowly.It took less than half an hour to arrive at the cave where Li Yan and Er Gouzi lived.

In the past two years, Li Ji and Er Gouzi have never been here.Li Ji thought about it sometimes, but every time he forgot it in a blink of an eye.

This is also the first time Ergouzi has returned to this cave in 14 years.

The cave is not big, with a rough woven grass bed.There is also a fire pit, which is dedicated to lighting a fire.

Light the candles you brought with you, and light a fire in the fire pit.

The inside of the cave is very damp, the walls are covered with moss,

Li Ji stood beside the fire, and there were several pottery bowls beside the fire.I don't know how long the other party has been here, and most of them are broken.But it doesn't look like it's broken, it's more like someone's naughty child came to play and broke it.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi took two coachmen and cleaned up the cave.The broken bed was not kept either, so it was cleaned up and set on fire.Wet wood burns hard.He even poured some kerosene on it, and the raging flames started to burn.

The flame burned for an hour, waited for the sparks inside to be clean, and then drove the smoke outside.Because of a fire, the cave was much drier. Although it was hot, it was much better than humidity.

Li Ji went down the mountain again and brought up a basin of ice.Cool down the temperature in the cave.

It was cooler inside the cave when the sky turned white.

The four of them sped up their actions and moved the contents of the carriage into the cave as quickly as possible.Then some dead branches were pulled to block the entrance of the cave.It was almost dawn by this time.I'm afraid the carriage going down the mountain will attract attention.

Simply find a secret party on the spot, write down the carriage, leave the carriage on the mountain, lead the horse down the mountain, take a detour and go directly to the road outside the village.

When Li Ji and Er Gouzi went home, they could no longer see the carriage at home.

Ge Er and Ting Lan were worried all night, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they had returned.

"My second master finally came back. The coachmen saw that it was almost dawn and they were still here, so they went back first. How is it on the mountain?"

After tossing all night, I haven't eaten yet.Li Ji was hungry, hungry and sleepy at this time.Without energy, he said: "It's all done. I just wait for when I need to look for it, and then bring it back. It's just that next time if the magistrate brings back something good, we have no place to put it here. In this case, it's better Build a new livestock pen and a new warehouse first. At that time, a small door will be built in the new warehouse. The small door will contain the things sent by the county magistrate, and the main door will contain feed. Most people will not be able to find it.

Ge Er nodded repeatedly.He said: "It's easy to say. You must be hungry after tossing all night. Ting Lan and I simply prepared some food. Masters, let's go to sleep first after eating. It's really hard after this night."

After entering the house, Li Ji felt sleepy when he was working on the kang, but Er Gouzi was still in good spirits.

Putting the food on the table, Li Ji stuffed a handful of dried fruit into his mouth and chewed it, trying to stay awake: "It's already dawn. Let's feed the animals first, and then have a good sleep together. The door is locked, and no one will come in after watching the locked door.”

After chewing two things, I am not so hungry.He picked up the porridge bowl again and filled his stomach with food.

Among the meals sent by the magistrate of the county was meat floss, which Li Ji had never eaten.It tastes great in porridge.Li Ji ate something fresh, and even used half a bowl of porridge.

After breakfast, the four of you should move faster and feed the animals.

After feeding the animals, there is basically no work to do.Instruct Ge Er and Ting Lan to sleep too.Li Ji and Er Gouzi spread the quilt, lay down on the kang and fell asleep.

This sleep went straight into the afternoon.Er Gouzi woke up first.

Ge Er and Ting Lan also rested.It's just that I slept relatively lightly, and woke up in two or three hours and started busy again.

When Er Gouzi woke up, he could smell the smell of rice in the kitchen when he went out.

The food is hot in the pot.After the meal was ready, the two of them didn't wake up, and they didn't know when they would wake up, so they could only keep it hot.

"Master, are you hungry? The food is already ready. Let's set the table to eat now?"

Er Gouzi shook his head: "Xiao Ji hasn't woken up yet."

Er Gouzi was hungry, but Er Gouzi still wanted to eat with Li Ji.

After more than half an hour, Li Ji woke up.This time I slept soundly and yawned after a while, the tiredness in my body was gone.

"okay?"

Li Ji raised his head, and his eyes matched Er Gouzi's.Li Ji smiled and said, "Why did you wake up?"

"A little earlier than you." Er Gouzi pulled Li Ji out of the bed.Help him get dressed together.

Li Ji was a little lazy.Just let Er Gouzi help him put on his clothes.Sober up on the kang for a while, drink the herbal tea that Tinglan sent over.

Then the stack was put on the kang table and the bowls and chopsticks were served, and then the meal was eaten.

Ting Lan once worked in the kitchen for a while, and her cooking skills are excellent.Four people cook for seven people.When the plates came down, they were all clean.

After eating and resting for a while, I went to feed the animals.

Then go to the village to find someone to continue building the livestock pen and the new warehouse.

As for the wing room in the yard... If you ask someone to help, you will inevitably enter the house and eat.Now the house is almost full of good things sent by the county magistrate.Li Ji always felt that it was a little eye-catching for the big thorn to invite people in.

But this wing still needs to be built.Li Ji went directly to the village chief.Ask the village chief to arrange for a few safe people to come and build the wing room.The salary for building a house is very high, but neither food nor entry is allowed.If you are tired, you can build a simple pergola.

The treatment is poor, but no one will say anything about the money given there.

Get everyone in order.Take a team of people to get the foundation out first.

There are a total of three foundations, and it will take two or three days to get them up.

There are ice cubes in the house, but it is a bit eye-catching to take them out.So only give some dried fruit to those who come to work.These are all originally in Li Ji's family.Others will not have any doubts when they see it.

For the next few days, I was busy with this matter. The hottest few days passed, and God finally showed mercy, and it rained happily.

When it rains this time, the building of the house will be interrupted.

This is a timely rain.The farmer in the field happened to be in a drought.Fu Tian watched as he was about to pass.Just wait for the hot pot, and in a month or two, the dealers in the field will be able to harvest.

Standing in the house and looking at the water curtain left by the eaves, the thunder outside became more pleasant.

Li Ji ate strawberries, this time he didn't use iced ones.The weather is cool after the rain, and even ice is not a luxury.

Ice had been moved into the house before it rained.It's just that there will be a fire in the house, for fear of melting the ice.Li Ji put the box containing ice into the coolest corner of the house, and turned out the two eiderdown quilts at home to cover them.

Just wait for the rain to stop before moving out.

"The mother of that big blackie came over here this morning." Ge Er said.It hadn't rained in the morning, and Li Ji was cutting fresh grass on the mountain to feed the female rabbits who were about to give birth, so he wasn't at home.

"What did you say?" Li Ji raised his eyebrows.In the past two days, I still muttered why I didn't come.Li Ji even began to wonder if he really thought bad of him. At that time, he was just too sad to catch someone to complain, and he didn't have any wrong thoughts.

Ge Erdao: "I didn't say it clearly. I just said that the newborn baby was crying with hunger, and the rice soup always felt that it was not full. You have a cow at home, so you want to come over and ask if the cow has any milk. I want some milk to go back and feed the baby."

"Ask knowingly." Li Ji said, "After half a year of searching, the village knows that this cow has no milk, or if a daughter-in-law didn't have enough milk to come over and ask for milk, I will give it."

Goat milk is still possible if it is two months old.One of the sheep that happened to be raised had a calf.

Ge Er nodded: "It's really the drunkard's intention. I said no, and she was not in a hurry to leave. She stood there complaining for a while, saying that life is hard, and the lack of a daughter-in-law in the family is almost impossible to solve, and there are three more children. Taking care of them. The youngest of the three children is the most stressful time. However, the eldest Heizi is in a bad mood because his wife has left, so he even has to stop working in the field for a few days."

It is obvious to say this, this is the intention to borrow money.It would be hard to say if Li Ji was at home.Er Gouzi's money, Li Ji, can be said to be untouchable.But in the past two years, Li Ji may not have earned any money?Then Er Gouzi's family wouldn't give Li Ji some money?

Da Heizi belongs to the same family, and if the family has difficulties, whoever's life is better, it is only natural to reach out to help.

It's also fortunate that the big black lady can pick the time, and specially picks to come when Li Ji is not around.

"What did you say?" asked myself.

Ting Lan smiled and said: "He is a good-looking guy. He directly suggested that if there is any difficulty, our master is kind-hearted. If anyone can't afford it, we will bury her in the master's mansion. If the price If it’s lower, the master also thinks it’s unlucky to raise him first before calling him.”

Li Ji was amused, and couldn't help admiring Ge Er's intelligence.On the surface, these words are to show the way, but in fact they block the way of others.

If Dahei's family is reluctant to part with the child and refuses to sell it, it means that there is no difficulty in the family.If you really have the heart to sell the child for money.The silver has already been obtained, as long as it is not difficult now.There is no difficulty to the extent that you have to come to borrow money.

If the Dahei family is really cruel enough to exchange the child for money, it would be a good thing for the child to leave such a father.

If it was another family, it would be easy for Li Ji to reach out to help.However, Li Ji had a very bad impression of this family, and it was the utmost benevolence to send over a little money and ten catties of rice.

"Is that how she left?"

Ge Er smiled and said: "Can you not leave? She understands what I mean, and she is unhappy and dare not attack. Knowing that I am dead, a servant from a rich family will not offend you. You can only leave with a black face. Look. It will come back in the future, you have to be prepared."

If it really depends on Li Ji, it will be difficult for Li Ji to get rid of it.But someone just died, so there are excuses for everything.On the contrary, if Li Ji really confronts others, it will only be Li Ji who is ruthless if it spreads.People are so pitiful that they don't even help.

After thinking about it, I said, "I have some ideas about this matter. Let's wait for the rain to stop."

Li Jihui's methods are just the same, but in the village, it's as long as it's easy to use.

The rain fell until it was dark.Wearing coir raincoats, I fed the animals again, ate another meal, and didn't take a bath. I washed up and went to sleep.

It was still raining the next morning and the ground was wet.Li Ji saw that the rain was not too heavy, so he went out with an umbrella and went directly to Li Jin's house.

Little Tudou is studying in the city, and there are only three people in Li Jin's family.Li Ji is Li Jin's fourth uncle, who also supports Little Tudou's education, and is Little Tudou's
