Chapter 46 Road to Well-off (22)
In the afternoon, Uncle Li and Auntie Li came over to look for siblings. They said that they just happened to have time to accompany them on their journey to the fields to take a look at the situation. Black Bean had originally said that he would follow them. Li Yannian thought that he didn’t even know where his own field was, so he insisted on following them to see it. When Mao Dou saw that his older brother and sister were going to the fields, he also shouted that they were going. This time, only Zhao Xu was left at home. Li Yannian was also worried, and in the end, it became a situation where his entire family was going out together.
Li Hongshan and Zhang Sanniang set up a total of three acres of land, which was slightly off from their original location due to the high fertility. The group walked for more than twenty minutes before they reached it.
Auntie Li could already see the lush and green seedling from afar, pointing out to Li Yannian, “Red Bean, look, it has already sprouted so high.”
Li Yannian’s heart dropped, her heart saying that the two sons of the Old Li Family were really noisy, they were forced to return the land to him, and now they are growing strong, are they not afraid of him going to Old Man Li to complain, not only did they give him their all, they even threw in the money to buy the seedlings.
When they got closer, the Uncle Li saw clearly what was being planted in the fields, and his face instantly changed.
Black Bean asked the two of them in confusion. “Uncle, Aunt, what’s wrong?
The Uncle Li sighed, “This attack was too ruthless. It was obvious that they wanted to waste your land.”
This time, it was Li Yannian who was puzzled. “Uncle, what do you mean?”
The one who explained it to them was the Auntie Li: “In this field, there aren’t any proper seedlings. Everyone in the village calls this place the head of dysentery, as long as it grows in the field, it’s like leek, even if it’s cut or cut, it’s useless to burn the land. Once it takes root and drills into the soil, when the proper vegetables and crops are planted, it’ll snatch up a lot of fat and raise all the weeds.
Black Bean had heard of this thing before, and knew how powerful it was. When his father, Li Hongshan, was taking care of these three acres of fields, he had always been careful and pulled off the weeds in time the moment he saw them. He didn’t expect that Tian Tian would end up in his hands like this before he could even start tidying up the area…
Uncle Li took the opportunity to say: “Those who plant these in the fields are not fit to be farmers. What crop handle would be willing to waste the field like this? When we get back, I’ll go and tell your grandfathers and daughters that they won’t be able to get away with it, that it must have been their family. ”
Li Yannian thought so too. Although she did not have any evidence, it would be good if they could cause trouble at the Old Man Li’s home.
After Mao Dou heard the adults finish speaking, he said angrily, “Uncle’s family is too bad. Big brother, big sister, let’s go and discuss this with my grandma. Let my grandma administer justice for us.”
Li Yannian didn’t want him to face all these negative emotions at such a young age. She rubbed his head and said: “Don’t worry, Dou Dou, remember, you have a big brother and big sister at home. No matter if it was Eldest Uncle’s doing or Third Uncle’s, he must have the heart to anger us. “Say, if we really get angry now, wouldn’t we be allowing them to succeed?”
Mao Dou thought about it for a moment, then nodded. “Big Sister is right. I’m not angry.”
The people around him all felt touched by his words, but even so, they had no choice but to solve the problem in front of them.
The Uncle Li was worried about the fields full of head of dysentery: “Good land, Sigh, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, how about we take advantage of the fact that we have not been growing for long, let’s go home and take a hoe of flint. We’ll dig up the grass, set it on fire, and get some ashes to grow the land.”
Black Bean subconsciously looked towards Li Yannian, and the latter laughed, “This method is not bad. Brother, then go back with Uncle and get your hoe. We’ll stay here and take a look around. We’ll pick up some dead branches and use them for the fire later. ”
Everyone agreed, and immediately split up into two separate groups. After Li Yannian brought Mao Dou and the others to pick up firewood from the fields, the two people who went back to get tools also slowly came back.
There were three hoes. Li Yannian subconsciously wanted to take them, but she was stopped by Auntie Li who laughed loudly, “What strength can a kid have? Leave Aunt here, you can just watch by the side.”
Li Yannian couldn’t win against her, so he could only watch as the three of them hoed from the head of the field to the tail of the field.
“Er Niu, you light the fire. I’ll go with uncle to hoe the grass.”
Black Bean said as he carried his hoe and went to the side.
Li Yannian replied as she ran back and forth with Mao Dou to shake off the soil at the roots and slowly build a fire to burn. The smoke from the burning green seedlings was quite large. The siblings could not open their eyes because of the wind blowing them this way and that.
However, Zhao Xu followed beside Li Yannian in a daze, not even knowing how to dodge the smoke that was drifting towards him. Li Yannian sighed and said to Mao Dou: “After we finish burning this field, we’ll all take it slowly. This grass is too humid and won’t be easy to burn.
Mao Dou nodded sensibly and pointed to his own cheeks. He then took out a small handkerchief for Li Yannian to wipe his face.
She subconsciously wiped it away with the back of her hand. Unsurprisingly, a small piece of ash that had stuck to her face was wiped away, instantly causing her face to change.
“Hahahahaha …”
There was a burst of direct mocking laughter in the field. Just as Li Yannian wanted to glare at Mao Dou, who was completely devoid of love for his sister, the latter was currently innocently looking at him. Only then did she realise that the one laughing was not Mao Dou, but the little fool, Zhao Xu.
Li Yannian, “…”
Why wasn’t he a fool now?
rolled his eyes at Zhao Xu as he got Mao Dou to help him clean his face. Only after he was sure that the face was clean did he feel at ease.
Zhao Xu really couldn’t resist it just now, but when he received that big round eyes from Li Yannian, he felt nervous. He forgot a very important point, no matter what age a woman is, she would always love to be beautiful.
The farce caused the people in the field, who were almost exhausted, to relax a little. By the time they had finished hoeing the three acres of land, the field had already been wiped black. Li Yannian thought that she had troubled Uncle Li’s house for the entire afternoon. No matter what, she had to treat some people to a meal, otherwise, it would be unjustifiable.
The Auntie Li refused repeatedly. “We won’t be eating at your house tonight. We still have some food to cook at noon, and if we don’t eat at night, we might ruin it tomorrow. Next time, come visit your house next time.”
The Uncle Li also said, “I understand. You all should hurry back. It’s getting late, the grass is already piled on the ridge. I will come again to burn it in a few days. “We’ll see what happens in the fields then. Let’s see if we can grow more.”
Li siblings saw that the two of them were very insistent, and could only give up, the two families taking advantage of the light to return home.
Upon entering the house, Black Bean was so tired that he laid on the sofa in the living room. The carpenter did as Li Yannian requested, although there was no An Zhi, it was still soft with a thick cotton pad.
Li Yannian laughed and pushed Mao Dou forward. “Go, quickly pinch your brother’s legs. I’ll go cook.
Xu Zi was Zhao Xu’s nickname. Firstly, it was not good to call him Young Prince, and secondly, it wasn’t good to call him a little fool. Since he was a member of the royal family, his surname was China, so it was not good to call him by name. In the end, the three siblings decided to just call him by name, so they gave him this title.
Black Bean and Black Bean both responded to her, so Li Yannian went back to the kitchen with ease. After buying a piece of paper, he got a hundred taels of gold. Li Yannian thought that he could spend some money on it, and went to Widow Hu at the head of the village to buy a rooster that weighed less than three kilograms. He used a wicker basket to cover the rooster and planned to boil some hot water in the afternoon to kill the rooster.
In the end, she had been busy all afternoon in the fields. Not to mention killing the chicken and removing its blood and hair, even if she gave it to her, she wouldn’t be able to stew the chicken on the ground in such a short period of time. After all, it wasn’t a modern feed chicken.
Other than the “chicken” that was still alive and kicking in the house, there was only a pile of cabbage and radishes that had been bought while they were having a banquet. It was just this inconvenience in the countryside. If you wanted to eat something new, you had to grow it or eat it at home. It was hard to even buy it.
It was an impossible situation for a beautiful woman to cook, causing Li Yannian to worry over a pile of cabbages and radishes. After washing the rice and steamed it, she picked a cabbage and a radish and washed them clean. Then she cut them into pieces and wiped them clean. After cooking the rice and fried them with oil, she tasted them and felt that they were passable. Vegetarian dishes must be delicious, or oil enough to taste.
She then rummaged through the pile of things she had bought previously. After finding a jar of red oil curd, she took out a small bowl and picked up three pieces, placing them on the table as well.
She did not expect that such a small piece of tofu milk would let Black Bean and Mao Dou eat three bowls of rice in a row.
Black Bean generously praised, “Er Niu, when did you buy this? It’s spicy and fragrant, too delicious! ”
Mao Dou could not help but nod. “Sis, it’s really delicious. It’s just that I can’t eat enough from my stomach. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to eat enough.”
Li Yannian asked curiously: “Have you never made moldy tofu at home before?”
Black Bean was shocked, “This is moldy tofu? “It doesn’t look like it at all. Mom has learned to make it before, it’s stinky and salty, coarse bean dregs and nothing else. It’s not like this, it’s extremely fragrant, extremely slippery and spicy. It’s really fun to eat it.”
Mao Dou also said, “Yes, this is delicious! Mother made it! Luckily I didn’t eat it. ”
Li Yannian thought for a while. If she had a way in the future, she could try selling these dishes, but it would be troublesome just to order other cans to change the packaging. She also didn’t know if there was anything delicious made from rotten milk, maybe it was just that Black Bean and his brother had never eaten anything delicious.
When he heard the two brothers say this, he knew that it was probably another good item “transformed” by the little girl from Li Clan. If he were to try it again, he would definitely not be able to taste the bowl anymore, and would only have a little bit of it left.
He curiously reached out his chopsticks and tasted the food, then his eyes suddenly lit up with a light that Li Yannian was very familiar with. It was the light that came from eating good food exclusive to foodies.
Then, in the next second, the Li Family three siblings watched as Young Prince snatched the small bowl of decaying milk, afraid that others would try to snatch it away, and poured the entire bowl of red oil curd juice into his own bowl.
Looking at Zhao Xu who was frantically eating, the Li Family three siblings was speechless.
No matter what, he was still a Young Prince.
