Parents are busy farming

When the vegetables are fried, the steamed buns are also ready.

Ye Zifen also took this opportunity to make porridge with corn noodles. It would be more comfortable to drink some hot porridge in winter.

She took out a tray, put eight steamed buns on a dustpan, filled a small basin with a small bowl of porridge, and filled a large bowl with some of each dish.

Then he brought the bowl to Lao Li's room in the backyard.

In the room, Lao Li had already put away his bedding and was cleaning the floor with Ye Yongwang! It'll be over soon.

Seeing that there was only a kang in the room, Ye Zifen placed the tray on the kang.

"Thank you, miss. I'll go over and serve the food myself later..." Lao Li lowered his head and whispered, but Ye Zifen didn't hear the rest of the words clearly.

"Uncle Li, you're full and you don't want to go home. If you don't have enough, go to the kitchen to get it. There are many more in the kitchen. We also need a kang table in the house. Daddy, please bring the one from Uncle Li's room to Uncle Li!"

After saying that, Zi Zifen ignored the two people in the room and hurried back to eat. She was hungry after being outside all day.

Ye Yongwang went to Lu Yongfu's original room, brought a kang table to Lao Li, and then returned to the main room for dinner.

After everyone left, Lao Li started eating with tears in his eyes.

The food in front of me is even for the Chinese New Year, and my family can’t even eat it! There was a lot of meat in the dish, and he thought of his wife and children at home while eating it.

The family was kicked out by their parents and they had just built a thatched house. They didn't know how the winter was coming, so the master asked him to come to the house as a long-term laborer.

Now he wants to offer incense to the Bodhisattva. If it weren't for the Bodhisattva's blessing, how could such a good thing happen to him?

The master asked him to go home once a month. Looking at the buns in his hand, he thought about leaving some for the children at home, so he left two uneaten buns and put them in the bundle at the head of the kang.

Zi Zifen knew that he couldn't eat those, and if he knew he had left them for his family, he would only be moved and not say anything.

Anyone who can think about his wife and children at home is at least a good father and husband.

After finishing the meal, Ye Zifen thought about the old ginseng in her sleeves. After a moment of hesitation, she went into the inner room with her parents and told the couple how they bought the old ginseng.

Ye Yongwang and his wife did not blame her, but agreed with her for helping others.

"In this case, just keep the ginseng! What if someone comes to ask for it in the future!" Ye Yongwang said.

"I plan to take my little sister to live in the house you lived in before." Ye Zifen said again.

"Your little sister will wake up at night now. Are you really determined to take her with you at night?" Wang Tinghe asked worriedly.

"Well, I bought some body conditioning medicine from the medical center and made some medicinal food for you to restore your health. We have given birth to several children in a row, so we should take good care of ourselves."

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, she saw Wang Tinghe bursting into tears.

"Dad, remember to bring my little sister's clothes. We'll move them tonight."

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, she picked up her little sister and went to the original big room. She didn't want to coax a sentimental woman.

‘There were so many tears every now and then that she even doubted her gender. ’

After Ye Zifen went out, Ye Yongwang patted Wang Tinghe on the back and comforted him silently.

His eyes seemed to say, ‘Forget what happened before! Please treat Zifen well! ’

Ye Yongwang thought to himself: 'They have several filial daughters, and they are happier than other families with sons! ’

In the evening, with the help of the third sister, I moved all Ye Zifen's things to another room.

"Third sister, remember to take good care of sixth sister!" Ye Zifen never forgot to tell Ye Zifei.

Then he said to Ye Yongwang who came to give Zifang clothes: "Tell Uncle Li to let him burn the kang by himself, so as not to freeze people. We also have an old quilt used by my aunt in the warehouse. Remember to take it to him." , I think his bedding is quite thin."

Ye Yongwang also discovered it, so he went to the warehouse to get the 80% new quilt and sent it to Lao Li's house.

Lao Li is stamping his feet in the house! There is really no kang.

"You! You are too honest. There is firewood nearby and you don't know how to burn the kang? Fortunately, Xiao Wu reminded me, otherwise you will freeze to death tonight." After speaking, Ye Yongwang put the bed quilt on the kang and said angrily.

"Remember to burn the kang yourself. This quilt is for you." After Ye Yongwang finished speaking, he went out.

Lao Li didn't know what to say, and he only felt grateful.

His biological parents kicked the family out and didn't care about their family's life and death, but the main family was afraid that he would freeze.

He looked at his frozen hands and decided to work hard in the future to repay them.

Then he went out to burn the kang. Not only did he burn it himself, but he also woke up in the middle of the night and added firewood to other occupied rooms.

Not only that, he also looked at the animals in the middle of the night and added fodder to them again.

At this point, Lao Li has lived what he thinks is the best life.

In his opinion, life is a good life as long as he is well fed, clothed and warm.

At night, Ye Zifen got up and peed for her little sister. She felt that the room was much warmer than usual. She understood it as soon as she thought about it, and she put this matter in her mind and went to sleep again.

Lu Dashan and Lu Yongfu went to the mountains to cut firewood. There were no donkeys at home, so they had to use manual labor.

At first, Lu Dashan was pulling the cart, and Lu Yongfu was driving behind.

After half an hour, Lu Dashan got tired and switched to Lu Yongfu to pull the cart. Now it was over. Lu Yongfu sat down on the ground just after walking a mile.

He was sweating profusely and had no energy to speak.

Lu Dashan looked at his youngest son in surprise, not expecting that he had become so useless.

Even if Zili comes with him, it will be more useful than him!

There was no other way. After resting for a while, Lu Dashan asked Lu Yongfu to drive behind.

Lu Dashan was silent along the way, and Lu Yongfu complained endlessly.

"Dad, we'd better hire a few part-time workers. How long will we have to work?" Lu Yongfu said at the resting place.

Lu Dashan ignored him and continued to set off after resting.

After finally arriving at the foot of the mountain, some people were logging.

The government office here will plan every year where wood is allowed to be cut down, and in the spring they will organize strong labor to plant saplings in the cut areas.

Looking at the trees that were already some distance away from the foot of the mountain, Lu Yongfu backed down again.

"Dad! Aren't the day laborers who cut down trees there the same ones my eldest brother's family used to hire? The price is very reasonable, why don't we hire them too!"

Lu Yongfu once again proposed hiring short-term workers.

Lu Dashan still ignored him this time, but went up the mountain with the ax himself.

Lu Yongfu saw his father ignoring him with a cold face, so he had no choice but to pick up another ax and follow him up the mountain.

But soon the blow came again, and the two of them chopped down a tree in one day.

Looking at the day laborers, one person chopped at least five in a day.

Lu Dashan finally recognized the reality.

"Go and ask those part-time workers when they are available and what their prices are?"

As soon as Lu Dashan spoke, Lu Yongfu immediately responded, threw down his ax and ran to the day laborer.

He came back after a while, "Dad, the price is still the same, ten cents per tree. We will have time tomorrow. We need to find a car to pull it."

When Lu Dashan heard this, he frowned and mentally calculated how much money it would cost to provide firewood for his family for the whole winter.

It was about three hundred yuan, and I felt a little sad when I thought about spending it, but after seeing the results of the two people, I had to agree.

It was completely dark when the two men pulled a tree back home.

Ms. Lu Li had been waiting at the door since it was still dark, and when it got dark, there was still no one around. She was extremely anxious.
