Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

If Guihua had any doubts before about the "old friend of my father" mentioned by Li Changle, her doubts were dispelled now.

Although Li Changle put the meat into the rice jar and the steamed buns in the bamboo basket, the sight of so many glittering objects still dazzled Guihua's eyes, and Wang Dahu and his brothers were also surprised.

Apart from anything else, the tied-up quilt is really an eye-catcher.

Among the refugees who have just settled in Green Water Village, which family can afford such a good quilt?

Osmanthus was silent, and the men were even more silent.

Li Changle pulled Guihua onto the ox cart and said, "Sister-in-law, you have already spent money, it would be a waste if you don't take a ride."

She even chartered a car.

As for Wang Dahu and the others, when Guihua was pulled onto the cart, they consciously retreated to both sides of the ox cart.

"Madam Li and my sister-in-law can just sit down. We can just walk. It won't be a big deal."

In this way, the return journey was much more comfortable than the coming journey, although the road was not easy to walk on and we bumped all the way back to Lushui Village.

Li Changle did not let the driver drive the ox cart into the village. When they arrived at the village entrance, Wang Dahu and others had already entered the village. She let the ox cart go along the road by the river at the foot of the Daqing Mountain behind the village, and went directly to the courtyard of Li Changle's house. No one could see the ox cart parked in front of the door because it was blocked by the small hill.

Li Changle told the driver to move the things down, then he got off the car and knocked on the gate. Immediately, someone inside ran behind the door and called for his mother.

"Mother! Mother!"

"Yu'er, I'm back! Tell my brother to open the door for me."

"aunt!"

"You two should slow down, or you might fall down."

Li Shixi opened the door, with Yu'er and his grandparents standing behind him.

"Auntie, I'm really sorry to bother you today. Have the two fishes been causing trouble?"

She picked up three fruit leather strips from the warehouse shelf and gave one to each child.

"Fish are much more obedient than stones, not to mention Shixi. It's really worry-free to take care of these two children."

The good grandmother took a look at the fruit leather in her grandson's hand and asked, "What is this?"

Li Changle: "Auntie, I saw it in the county. It's made with hawthorn fruit and it can whet your appetite." As he said that, he pretended to take some from the bamboo basket and took out a few more and stuffed them into his mother-in-law's arms.

The driver moved the things to the yard, and also helped to move the heavy rice jars and other things to the kitchen. Guihua came in holding a quilt, "Madam Li, your father's old friend is really willing to spend money. This quilt looks like it was newly bought."

The good mother-in-law was completely confused, "What old friend?"

Guihua's mouth was like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and she said this and that.

Haopo thought of the two blankets on the bed in the main room and the dumpling soup at noon, and looked at Li Changle thoughtfully.

Li Changle was just paying the ox cart fare to the driver and thanking him for the trip. He wanted to go in and get him a bowl of water, but the driver wouldn't let him and told him to get back to the county before dark.

It was indeed getting late. After the driver left, Guihua and her mother-in-law also said they wanted to go back.

"Auntie, please wait a minute." Li Changle went into the kitchen, put the buns in the bamboo basket into the pot, leaving two buns in the bamboo basket, and went to the main room to open the wooden cabinet.

I put millet in a bowl and buckwheat noodles in 3 bowls with oil paper. I didn't take the refined rice because it was too eye-catching. I also took 5 eggs, a handful of red dates, and half a bowl of brown sugar.

The bamboo basket was filled to the brim.

She walked out of the yard and handed the basket to her mother-in-law, expressing her gratitude. "Changle knows that it is because of your kindness and generosity that Yu'er and his sister can live peacefully and wait for me to wake up. Otherwise, if anything happens to them, Changle will not be able to survive. I don't need to thank you for your kindness. This little thing is just to please you and the children. It has no other meaning. Please don't refuse it."

The good mother-in-law was moved by what she heard, but the weight of the bamboo basket in her hand made her feel uneasy. "Madam Li, I just felt sorry for the children, so I gave them some wild vegetable porridge. I feel uneasy if you do this. There are many people in the village who are not bad, and they will give the children some food from time to time. We still have to get by now, so you can keep the food for yourselves. I have several sons, so they won't starve."

Although she didn’t see what was in the basket, as a lifelong farmer, she was familiar with the smell of grain, and she could smell the aroma of the steamed buns instantly.

Li Changle was filled with emotion. What a considerate old man.

She escorted the three people out of the courtyard, and refused to take the basket back. "Auntie, don't think about yourself, but also think about the stone. There are not many things in here, and Changle will keep them for himself." Then she smiled at Guihua beside her and said, "Sister-in-law, remember to return the bowls in the basket tomorrow."

She came through time and space and took over someone else's body. She didn't know if it was a coincidence, but she thought it was fate since they had the same name.

This is the only thing I can do to help her besides taking care of the two children within my ability.

Guihua looked at her as if she were looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Hey, remember, remember, Madam Li, you are so..." too honest.

"Ding! The host is kind to others and receives gratitude. The system rewards +2 contribution points.

Current contribution points: 5. ”

Hearing this, Li Changle calmed down.

Osmanthus mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also took the stone and went home from the road behind the village, so as to avoid meeting some villagers who were eager to get to the bottom of things. This basket of things would definitely cause trouble.

When the two returned home, the good mother-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law Yingzi had already prepared dinner and were just waiting for the three of them to come back.

The Wang family eats two meals a day. When it is not the busy farming season, most people in the village also have this eating habit. Only the wealthy families in the county eat three meals a day.

Haopo placed the bamboo basket on the dining table and lifted the covering cloth under everyone's questioning gazes.

Now, everyone in the room stared at the bamboo basket in silence.

Even Guihua, who usually has a straightforward temper, seemed to have a stuck throat.

My god, what kind of family did Li's father's old friend have? This brown sugar is a good thing. Li gave half a bowl of it. Nothing in the bamboo basket is not good.

The good mother-in-law pursed her lips and covered the basket again, then took out only two steamed buns.

The white flour buns were divided between Wang Dahu's two sons, Shitou, and herself. She was unwilling to refuse Madam Li's kindness.

She asked her eldest daughter-in-law Yingzi to bring dinner, and each of them scooped a bowl of black flour porridge. Then Haopo distributed the other coarse flour bun to her four sons and two daughters-in-law.

The steamed buns made with leavened dough at that time were firm and quite big, so six adults could each get one.

There were a few coarse flour buns in the Wang family’s rations, but they were left for the children. The adults usually made do with wild vegetables and black flour porridge.

The good mother-in-law looked at her son and daughter-in-law who couldn't bear to eat and said with a sullen face:

"Why are the steamed buns so prickly? Eat them! Send two more loads of firewood tomorrow. We have a house full of people, and it's not right to take advantage of a woman like her!"

Everyone nodded and decided to save the food in the basket. The three children could have a bowl of hot porridge every few days in the winter. Even if it was a thin porridge, it was better than the black porridge. The black porridge was mixed with unknown wild vegetables, and it tasted bitter when eaten.

Everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that everything will be fine by the spring of next year.

After dinner, the good mother-in-law took out the things in the basket and put them away.

The fruit leather that Li Changle gave was also given to the eldest daughter-in-law. "Mrs. Li gave these sweet things to the two children. We should accept her kindness."

Yingzi was born dumb, and after hearing what her mother-in-law said, she just nodded her head and pointed at her forehead to show that she remembered it.

The good mother-in-law sighed deeply and said with sympathy, "She is a good and sensible daughter, but I don't know what kind of situation the family she married is in, and they let the three of them end up like this."

-

The mother and her two daughters mentioned by the good mother had bolted the gate of the courtyard at this time, and were sitting at a low table next to the stove, warming themselves by the fire, drinking brown sugar water, and eating freshly heated meat buns and steamed buns.

The child is so beautiful.
