Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 22 Resolve
Su Youcai and the Zhou family finally went out with the unremarkable plates of tofu.

On the other hand, Mrs. Li went out to wash her clothes neatly, completely ignoring Su Qian's blushing accusations.

The work at hand never stopped, drying clothes, chopping pig grass, cooking pig food, making breakfast, and boiling medicine.

Seeing Ban Xia admired her, she went into the kitchen and helped Mrs. Li to light the fire, "Mother, you are really amazing."

Li's face was a little dull, he didn't hear Ban Xia's words at all, and he was busy there.

"Mother—" Ban Xia blinked her eyes, it seemed that things were not as she imagined!

Only then did Mrs. Li come to her senses, but she let out a long sigh, "You talk about your father, he just wanted to show off his strength, and he's going to make blanks in the future, with injuries like that, and heavy work like that..."

It turned out that Mrs. Li was worried about this, so she was able to hear Su Qian's words as if she had never heard of them.

Ban Xia also sighed, "Mother, is Dad seriously injured?"

"There's a big bruise on the waist, and I've fallen on my leg before. Doctor Wang in the town saw that your father was not walking properly that day. After seeing it, he gave you a few packs of medicine and told him to take care of him for a month or two. ..."

Ban Xia naturally knew Li's embarrassment, they were all honest people, and felt that it was more difficult to owe others, but they couldn't make the decision at all, and the money from selling tofu didn't go into their own pockets.

It's so embarrassing for something.

"Mother sometimes really hates herself a little. If she had the strength like your eldest aunt, she would just go and replace her!" Li Shi said bitterly.

Lin's burly figure appeared in front of Ban Xia's eyes, imagining that Li's appearance would be like that, she immediately shook her head, "Mother, what are you thinking! Don't worry about it."

Hearing Ban Xia comforting her like this, Li Shi didn't take it seriously, that cloud of worry enveloped her like a thick cloud, making her a little preoccupied.

And Ban Xia has secretly made up her mind, "Mother, the work is heavy, how much does it cost per day?"

"Can it not be heavy? You have to lift up and take down such heavy mud all day long. It's okay to go with your second uncle. If you are with... at that time, it will definitely not be your father's turn to shovel the soil. The stone pier is beaten, and the bricks are lined up in such a long way in one day... It is not bad to be able to get up in the first two days, such a heavy job, I guess it can cost fifteen cash a day." Li Shi said, his hand Some trembling.

Ban Xia was also dumbfounded, "It's hard to do this job?"

Li's voice was a little softer, "It used to be, but now it looks like most of them are there for ten days and eight days. From your appearance, it seems that you have to wait until the beating is over."

After listening, Pinellia threw a handful of grass into the stove, there was a crackling sound, and her eyes were a little wandering.

At this time, she calculated in her heart, fifteen cash a day, 150 cash in ten days, and only 400 cash in one month, one tael of silver, enough to support Su Youli for two months, no matter what deficit.

What's more, after she was "shocked" in the bandit's den last time, the business of selling cassava has stopped. It is not much easier to make billets without oil and salt, and it can be sold for more than ten yuan a day. But I suffer from no place to process.

"Ban Xia, there are firecrackers here! It seems we have a happy event today?" Li's complexion is much better.

For such a superstition, Banxia feels a little bit emotional. For example, Li Shi and the others may not believe in this or that phenomenon, but in this miserable sun and moon, they must always give themselves a glimmer of hope that they can see the future. I hope that if I support it, I won't be unable to live on.

Ban Xia nodded smoothly, "Mother, if you're not sure, don't worry about Dad."

"Hey—" Li Shiying was very happy, but she didn't believe it in her heart.

Ban Xia secretly calculated the time in his heart, and then he heard a burst of laughter from the yard, "Isn't that right here!"

"Grandpa—" Banxia rushed out without even thinking about it, but saw that there was a person beside Grandpa who he knew, and hurriedly called someone, "Grandpa Third Uncle."|.

When Mr. Li saw Ban Xia rushing out, his face was full of joy, and he felt that it was his duty to come early. He touched her head and thought about what Yuan Guang said when he found him in the morning.

"Grandpa, Dad's waist is twisted, and the milk is going to be milled, and I can't stop it... Pinellia found something on the mountain. We have eaten it and sold it. It's okay. I'm afraid it will drag you down. This is What you got last time, I can't let you lose money, Ban Xia will come back after Dad comes, and then we will do business together..." After saying this, he also specifically told Li Shi not to tell.

Mr. Li looked at his grandson and granddaughter, they are naturally good, he can help for a while, but he can't always guard this old girl, I didn't expect Ban Xia to even think of this, a person should have such a dare to fight Mr. Li was very pleased with his courage to break through.

Ban Xia naturally didn't know what Mr. Li was thinking, so he just looked up at him.

Mr. Li nodded to her, and then he greeted Mr. Su, "I'm really bothering you!"

Mr. Su was also a little strange, he also knew Ban Xia's third uncle, but he didn't understand why he came here at this time, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he only told Ban Xia, "Let your mother cook two more dishes!"

When Banxia entered the door, she was also happy to see Mrs. Li's appearance. Naturally, she hurriedly asked Mrs. Su Qian for eggs, and put the meat brought by Mr. Su into the kitchen for Mrs. Li.

In the main room, Mr. Li was sitting on the side, and the third uncle was straight to the point, "You are welcome, brother. I just stopped by. You know that it is autumn now, and there are more things about marrying wives and daughters. I You also know that the family of the sixth brother in the family is talking about the daughter-in-law of Daqian Village. The schedule is a little tight, and now I am busy building stoves to pick up leaks, and there are some delicate jobs. Said, he just said that the third child just happens to be dexterous, this..."

Before the words fell, Su Qian's voice came from the room on one side, "But unfortunately, we are going to make blanks in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Su Qian gritted her teeth and went out, "I'm really sorry for making your trip wasted."

Mr. Su's face was also a little embarrassed. It stands to reason that the in-laws would give such a face when they came to the door in person, but this side has to be rough...

Mr. Li didn't even look at Su Qian's, he just smiled in a Hong Zhong-like voice, and said, "Brother, don't go out with me! How can I not know about the blank? It's all the same if there is one more or one less." thing!"

Su Qian's mouth twitched at the side, and the flesh on his face trembled, "There are exactly two groups in this room. The eldest is with the third child, and the second child is with his father. I am looking for someone outside..."

Being interrupted repeatedly by Mrs. Su Qian, Mr. Li had already made up his mind at this time, but he didn't panic at all, "Huh? Is it possible for the fourth child in your family to go? This young and strong one is hiding instead? Don't go Forget it! I said brother, the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, how many years we can live, it just so happens that you don’t want to go, the boss and the second child just happen to be in the same group, the third child I naturally dare If you say this from above, you will naturally not suffer any disadvantages, the blank is fifteen renminbi a day, and this is the same amount at the other end! Besides, it can be considered as a favor, so that others will naturally think of you."

First stabbed the fourth child with words, and then won over Mr. Su. In the end, it was both money and fame. It would be strange if Mr. Su could refuse.

The third uncle and grandpa on the side were also there to reassure.

When Mr. Li put the one hundred Wen on the table, even Mrs. Su Qian was speechless.

After a meal, the guests and the host had a great time, and after the meal, Mr. Li invited Pinellia to play.

Although Banxia felt a bit abrupt, she still followed, "Mother, I'm going to see Yuanchen."
