On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

(Thanks to yusifenfei72 for voting 2 monthly tickets.)
At Qin Tao's house, the male and female protagonists of the original book had further contact, while Li Shiyue put on his backpack and went to the riverbank to look for young grass.

But at this time of year, when you wake up in the morning you can see a thin layer of ice on the surface of the water tanks in the yard.

This morning, Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian moved the half-person-high water vat into the kitchen.

After walking a long way upstream to the riverbank, the two sisters only managed to cut half a basket of grass that was suitable for the horses to eat.

Li Shiyue put the hatchet into her belt. She looked up at the sky which was still grey at noon. She turned around and said to Li Qiutian, "Sister, let's go home. I think it might snow today."

Li Qiutian was reluctant to go back so early, but Li Shiyue finally said, "If there is not enough grass, just feed the horses some beans.

Horses are valuable, so eating some beans is fine. I can make money back by selling the horses in the future."

Then the two sisters carried their backpacks back home.

When Li Shiyue was still some distance away from the houses closest to the riverbank in the village, he saw several wisps of smoke rising from cooking fires.

When the two returned to Li's house, they saw an unexpected person in their yard.

"Third brother?"

When the dog Lao San, who was sitting on the ground opposite Li's mother and weaving hemp ropes, heard Li Shiyue's shout, he immediately raised his head and looked towards the door.

When Li's mother saw Li Shiyue coming back, she immediately said to Li Shiyue: "Shiyue is back?

Come sit down and have a rest. Your third brother came to see you for something. He didn't see you, so he sat down to help us weave hemp ropes."

Without waiting for Li Shiyue to reply, Li's mother turned around and said to Gou Lao San with a warm face, "His third brother, stay for dinner today. I will ask Shitou to pick up Third Aunt."

Gou Lao San originally came to the house with something to ask for. It was only after he arrived that he found out that the Li family had to eat three meals a day because Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian were both strong and got hungry quickly.

Unlike these families, they only have to eat two meals a day.

In order to save food, some families only eat lunch one meal a day.

In this case, how could Gou Lao San have the nerve to eat at Li Shiyue's house?

"No, no need, auntie, I just want to talk to Shiyue, and I'll leave after I'm done."

But Li's mother was embarrassed to let the third dog help her weave the hemp rope for such a long time.

Therefore, Li's mother kept insisting that Gou Laosan stay and eat with them, but Gou Laosan kept refusing. The two of them went back and forth, which made Li Shiyue laugh.

After Shitou used a gourd ladle to scoop water for her and Li Qiutian to wash their hands, Li Shiyue directly said to the anxious Gou Lao San: "Third brother, listen to my mother, and just stay and have a meal.

Let my brother go and pick her up from the Third Granny's place."

Seeing that Gou Lao San was still unwilling and wanted to refuse, Li Shiyue said again: "Third brother, our friendship along the way is still not enough for this meal?

If I go to my third brother's house, will he not invite me to have a meal?"

Li Shiyue had said so much that Gou Lao San had no nerve to refuse. However, he said that there was no need for Shi Tou to ask Third Aunt to come over. He would go to his home and carry her over.

Therefore, at the lunch, there were two more people, Gou Laosan and Third Aunt, joining the Li family's group of people having lunch together.

Actually, the food on the table was not very good. It was just a big pot of brown rice mixed with beans, the cheapest old broken rice in the grain store. It tasted bad, but it was enough to fill the stomach. The other dishes were pickled radish slices and a big pot of radish top soup. It was definitely unpalatable, just a bit salty.

Li Shiyue, who ate five big bowls of rice by himself, was the biggest eater at the table.

The bowl that Li Shiyue used to eat could actually be called a basin. Gou Lao San watched in amazement as Li Shiyue ate slowly, chewing each bite carefully, but she ate all the rice in the basin in front of her very quickly.

Li Shiyue didn't know how to explain this, she just ate a lot.

After dinner, everyone cleaned up the dishes together, and Li's mother urged Li Shiyue to bring the third dog into the room where Li Wangming and Shitou slept to talk.

Before entering the house, Li Shiyue said to her third aunt who had just sat down in the yard to help her mother weave hemp ropes, "Third Aunt, would you like to come in and talk with us?"

Third Aunt was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Li Shiyue to call her.

But after being stunned for a moment, she shook her head, her hands kept weaving hemp ropes, and replied to Li Shiyue: "No, I agree with whatever the third brother does, you two can go and talk to him yourselves."

So, Li Shiyue walked into the house and sat down face to face with Gou Lao San.

Li Shiyue picked up the bowl of water on the table, picked up the kettle and poured a bowl of water for Gou Laosan and himself. Yes, it was still water, no tea.

Li Shiyue has never gone out since he last went to Sanshan County and returned to Liujiatun via Qingsong Town.

Moreover, the horse has not been sold yet. Although she still has some money left, it is not much.

How could I dare to go out shopping without money? Not to mention buying tea, which is a precious commodity.

After Gou Lao San drank up half the bowl of water, he held his breath for several seconds before he dared to look up at Li Shiyue and said to her, "Shiyue, I, I want to come over and ask you something." After Gou Lao San started talking, he dared to continue.

"Next time you have a profitable business, can you call me?"

At this point, Gou Laosan's face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed after all.

After all, Li Shiyue had never called him, but he took the initiative to come to Li Shiyue and wanted her to take him to make money together. If he talked about this matter, it would be really shameless.

However, Gou Laosan was really jealous of the money Li Shiyue made with Li Wangshui and others these two times.

Moreover, from the money that Li Wangshui and his friends got these two times, even though the horse had not been sold yet, people in the village had learned from Li Wangshui and his friends about Li Shiyue's principles for distributing money.

"Distribution according to work, more work more pay, less work less pay, no work no pay!"

Moreover, Li Shiyue is not the kind of selfish person who only cares about himself. Li Wangshui and others said that if something happened, Li Shiyue would never abandon them!

These two points alone are enough to attract people to follow Li Shiyue.

Even if Li Shiyue is a girl, as long as it can bring real benefits, who cares whether the leader is a man or a woman?
Not to mention, Li Shiyue is a man who can really chop off someone's head with one blow!

Who dares to disobey this force?

Among the men in Lijia Village, it seems that the best fighter is Li Wangshui.

But Li Wangshui had already been following Li Shiyue's orders.

Well, as the Third Dog licked his face, thinking about the last time the barbarians entered the village, Li Shiyue gave him the task of going to Xingsheng Tower to report the news. Does Li Shiyue think that the Third Dog is also somewhat useful and not really so useless?
So, Gou Lao San finally had the courage to come to the door. (End of this chapter)
