Chapter 3 There's a Little Donkey(1/2)

Under the moonlight, the family happily loaded the prepared tofu onto the ox cart, watching Li Fulu drive the ox cart onto the avenue leading to the town.

Li Fulu always came in person when selling tofu and dealing with money. He didn't even have breakfast, so he left after putting a cornmeal nest.

Li Duoduo watched the ox cart go away, and once again prayed in his heart that he would search for his father's safety all the way and not be implicated by her unlucky nature.

Turning his head, he saw his elder brother Li Dabao standing there holding his waist and breathing.

Pushing the grinding is a job of hard work, and it is too hard to push the grinding by man.

Li Duoduo ran over and beat Li Dabao's waist:

"Brother, it's so tiring to push the mill, why don't you buy a donkey to pull the mill?"

Li Duoduo lived in the village in his previous life. He knew that it was best to do something like pulling a grinding with a donkey, and it was not suitable for cattle and horses. Especially the Li family’s tofu house is so big, so pulling a cow and horse takes up too much space.

Li Dabao sighed:

"One donkey and two acres of land, our father can't bear to bear it."

"Oh, then I'll turn around and persuade my father." Li Duoduo nodded, not daring to say anything else.

Slaughter father is a typical old-style farmer. He is used to scamming. Spending money to buy a donkey is not much different from picking his heart and lungs.

But this is not the heaven that a donkey will fall down for you for no reason. Moreover, Li Duoduo feels that with his unlucky nature, let alone the donkey, the more he talks, the less he doesn't.

The sun gradually rose. Caigua Niang chopped two old pumpkins, cooked a pot of pumpkin and millet porridge, put the cornmeal nest on the pot, and distilled it while the porridge was heated, and then fried the pickles with the bean residue left over from the tofu. The yard was filled with aroma.

The long-term workers who went to the field to work also came back to have dinner. They entered the yard in groups of three or three, washed their hands and rushed to the kitchen, took their own porridge and bowls, picked up two chopsticks and vegetables, and then squatted in the corner of the yard with steamed buns in their arms to eat.

Li Duoduo was holding a steamed bun and sat under the eaves looking at the gradually bustling yard, and continued to observe secretly.

Qian Yue, who had been sitting under the stove, took the time to bring a bowl of steaming soy milk over, raised her eyebrows and stuffed it into Li Duoduo's hand:

"Give it, drink it, your father left it for you specifically - Humph, some people are really stupid and have no choice but to do nothing, and they can eat delicious food and drink spicy food!"

Qian Yue's voice was very small, only Li Duoduo could hear it.

Li Duoduo blinked his eyes, remembering that his sister-in-law was also a stingy landlord. Faced with this obvious injustice, she did not dare to be openly dissatisfied, so she could only mutter to her behind her back.

But Li Duoduo was not angry at all.

Qian Yue was in a very easy way. One was a sister-in-law who had to do anything but had soy milk. The other was a daughter-in-law who had to do everything but even had to eat a piece of tofu and had to look at her parents-in-law's face. She was treated differently by her father so differently, and her psychological imbalance was certain.

This is because in this evil feudal society, the daughter-in-law dares not offend her parents-in-law. If this is put in modern times, some daughter-in-law with a bad temper will definitely accuse her parents-in-law of being partial and abused.

So Li Duoduo waited for the bowl of soy milk to cool a little, then ran to Qian Yue with the soy milk, looking at her with a hurried look:

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law, drink it."

"Well……"

Qian Yue was startled and suddenly blushed when she met her sister-in-law's sincere gaze.

"Duoduo, my sister-in-law doesn't mean that..."

Qian Yue actually muttered a few words habitually, protesting the unfairness of her father-in-law.

At this time, the sister-in-law looked at her so eagerly, and she felt a little ashamed.

My sister-in-law is not smart. What's the point of being a foolish girl?

Besides, this girl can still feel that she has worked hard and is a conscientious person.

Qian Yue's eyes at Li Duoduo became much softer:

"Drink it yourself, my sister-in-law just knows what you want."

"No, my sister-in-law."

Li Duoduo was very persistent. Since she became a family, she had to treat it well.

Although the workers in the yard couldn't hear what the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were saying, they all buried their faces in the bowl and glanced secretly at this side.

Qian Yue couldn't resist the onlookers from the long-term workers, so she had to bite the bullet and take the soy milk, carefully sucked a few mouthfuls along the edge of the bowl, and handed them back to Li Duoduo:

"Okay, my sister-in-law is full, drink more."

"good."

Li Duoduo obediently sat back on the small stool with the bowl, and began to drink soy milk.

As for the soy milk her sister-in-law drank, she still drank - for Li Duoduo, who had eaten the same steamed bun with the little local dog at home when she was young, this was not a problem.

Haha, her Li Duoduo's life is only for saving and no waste.

The long-time workers in the yard only saw the sister-in-law and sister-in-law muttering, and then the silly daughter of the landlord's family began to drink soy milk. They were all envious and sighed like Qian Yue.

Some people are lucky enough to do nothing and eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Like them, they are tired all day long and can just make a living.

Thinking of this work, the workers began to talk about the rooster crowing in a silence.

They are all people who work all year round, and no one is stupid. They all went to the fields to do work for a long time and it was not dawn. This must be wrong.

Li Duoduo was vaguely heard a word, and immediately put down the bowl, walked over and squatted beside him and held his ears up.

Then I heard the workers say that they would go to the chicken coop tonight to see what was going on.

Li Duoduo carefully recalled the story of Zhou Bapi. It seemed that those exploited workers finally covered Zhou Bapi's head with sacks, insisting that he was a thief, and beat Zhou Bapi openly, making Zhou Bapi unable to say anything.

When I heard this story when I was in school, I felt that Zhou Papi deserved it, but at this moment, this "Zhou Papi" was his own father.

Li Duoduo decided that he would have to stop Xiaoseou's father at night and never let him be beaten.

At noon, Li Fulu sent the tofu and happily supported her waist. Although the tofu in their house was not authentic white jade tofu, the shopkeeper had already agreed because of his good looks. If there was such tofu, he would give him a penny more than a pound.

For the Li family, this was a great event, and they all happily gathered together to discuss the difference between the tofu method today and the past.

Li Duoduo was very concerned about stinging his father's waist.

The official road is still the loess road, which is not the same level as the asphalt road in my previous life. Xiaosou Dad drove a ox cart to the town, and his waist looked almost broken. Although he was very energetic, his movement of lying on the kang and holding his waist showed that he was indeed very painful.

"Dad, your back pain is so bad, you have to look for the doctor. My brother also has a back pain, so you have to buy a donkey." Li Duoduo sat on the small stool, his little face was entangled into a bun, but he couldn't help but speak, and said sternly according to the original owner's usual rhythm of speaking.

"Oh, I'm so sensible, I know how to be filial to my father!"

Li Fulu looked at her little daughter with a smile, waved her to her, and touched her head:

"Dad doesn't want to find a doctor, just take a break. I saved money to buy flowers and wear for my daughter. There is also this donkey, one can support two acres of land. How expensive is it. Dad should buy two acres of land and give it a dowry to Duoduo at that time."

The reason for stinging my father in the past was the same. I had to buy flowers for my younger daughter and save a dowry for my younger daughter.

Why should I save more dowry for my younger daughter? Because my younger daughter is stupid, Li Fulu and his wife are afraid that their younger daughter will have a hard time in the future.

I don’t know how the original owner felt when he heard it, but Li Duoduo’s nose suddenly became sore.

Such a white steamed bun is so nice to her that she can't bear to eat.

"No, my father has to see the doctor, my father has to buy a donkey... If my father doesn't see the doctor, I won't eat if I don't see the doctor!"

Li Duoduo shone his eyes and simply grabbed his father's sleeve and started clamoring.

In fact, Li Dabao also thinks so, but as soon as he says this, Li Fulu will reject it.

Seeing his sister making a fuss, Li Dabao quickly spoke and advised his father:

"Dad, it's right. We save food and drink. We can't save you this doctor. You really have to see a doctor. If you need to spend money, we have to spend it..."

"If I say I don't watch it, I won't watch it. You should do whatever you should do!"

When Li Fulu heard the word "spend money", his smile immediately disappeared and he waved to drive away the person.

Li Dabao turned around and walked out, just like he was obedient.

"I'll go and invite the doctor now, I'll pay the money!"

In order to allow him to marry Qian Yue, who was from the same landlord family, Li Fulu distributed 30 acres of land to him, and he saved some money.

When Qian Yue heard that he had to spend the couple's private money, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.

Her parents' father is also a sting landlord, but he is not as serious as the Li family. He doesn't even look for it when he gets sick. So why do you make money?

If she could take advantage of her sister-in-law's trouble and treat her father-in-law's stingy problem this time, she would be very happy.

Thinking of this, Qian Yue only felt that her sister-in-law looked particularly pleasing to the eye today.

Li Fulu was reluctant to spend this money, but struggled to get up and yelled:

"If you dare to go, I will break your legs!"

"Then you break my legs!"

Li Dabao had already jogged out and replied from a distance.

The eldest brother finally dared to resist and sting his father, which is great.

Li Duoduo wiped his tears and continued to pull Shousuo's father to cry. In order to avoid becoming his father-in-law's punching bag, Qian Yue hurriedly lifted her foot out.

As soon as I went out, I heard someone protruding his head outside the yard and asking:

"Is this Li Fulu and Li Shibo's family?"

Qian Yue looked up and saw a tall young man standing at the door, holding a gray-white donkey in his hand.

Little donkey!
