Zhao Ye quickly picked some pig grass and ran home panting.
When I was near the door of my house, I saw my eldest sister-in-law Sun Jiao and several other sisters-in-law and aunts around me gathered together, talking excitedly. I wonder who they were making fun of.
At this time, she also saw Zhao Ye and said in a hoarse voice: "Oh, you finally came back. I don't know where the grass for the pigs went. All the work in the house is left to me alone. What a fate I have. I will marry into your family and serve all the young masters and young ladies in this house."
Zhao Ye wanted to refute, I was only gone for a short while, and I finished all the housework before going out to see Brother Li.
Thinking about how his sister-in-law would only continue to criticize him more harshly if he retorted in the past, he felt that less trouble was better, so he didn't say anything and just lowered his head.
Aunt Zhou from next door chimed in, "Hey, Ye brother, you are already eighteen years old. You can't be so lazy. You won't be able to get married."
Aunt Wang said, "Okay, okay, it's time to cook. I have to go home to cook for my husband. You all should go home too. Let's go home. If you have anything to say, let's talk at home."
Listening to Auntie Wang's attempt to smooth things over, Auntie Zhou curled her lips and said, "Tsk, Brother Ye, don't be offended. You are already eighteen years old and still unmarried. This is not a big deal. Auntie said all this for your own good."
Several aunts and sisters went home, and Zhao Ye followed Sun Jiao back home. Sun Jiao kept chattering along the way, and only stopped when she saw Zhao's mother after entering the courtyard.
"Mom." "Mom." The two men shouted when they saw Zhao's mother standing at the door of the main room.
Mother Zhao held a two-year-old boy in her arms and said gloomily, "You are talking about irrelevant things. You threw the child to me, the mother-in-law, and ran out to gossip with those gossipers. Why don't you come and look after the child?"
"Brother Ye, go and cook. Your father and elder brother will be back from the fields soon." Mother Zhao turned and said to Zhao Ye.
When Sun Jiao heard what Zhao's mother said, she kept saying, "I am doing this for Brother Ye's own good. He is so old and still unmarried. Let's see if there is anyone like him in the surrounding area."
"If you don't work harder, you won't be able to find anyone to take the child. As your sister-in-law, I'm doing this for him. Otherwise, the whole family will be embarrassed by him." She quickly took the child and hid in the house.
Zhao Ye lowered his head and responded to his mother's words, then quickly walked to the kitchen, lit a fire and started cooking.
Dinner was a pot of thin porridge, a few coarse flour pancakes, a large pot of lentils and eggplant, and a small plate of eggs.
In the evening, the family sat in the main room to eat. The rice grains in Zhao Ye's bowl were clearly visible. He held half a pancake and lowered his head to eat lentils and eggplant. He didn't dare to pick up the eggs on the plate with his chopsticks.
Seeing the food on the table, Father Zhao frowned, tapped the plate with eggs and said, "How can we live like this? We eat eggs every time there is a festival. We can sell one for two cents. These eggs are just for Xiuwen to eat when he comes back tomorrow."
Sun Jiao looked at Zhao Tian who just lowered his head to drink his porridge, kicked him under the table, and gave him a subtle look.
Zhao Tian didn't receive her signal at all, and said in a buzzing voice: "Eat well, why did you kick me?"
Sun Jiao rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Dad, Uncle San usually has plenty of eggs in the school, so your two grandsons should get some too."
Zhao's father ignored her and said to Zhao's mother, "Xiu Wen will be taking the exam soon. He needs money for the writing and travel expenses. We should save money wherever we can."
Mother Zhao glanced at Sun Jiao and said, "You have no right to interrupt an elder when he is talking. You don't know the rules."
Turning to Zhao's father, he said, "The grain will be collected soon. Leave the land tax and food for your family, and sell the grain, and you will have enough money for the exam."
Father Zhao looked at his honest eldest son and said, "Big brother, I know that life at home is a little hard now, but when your third brother passes the exam and becomes a high-ranking official, will he ignore you, his biological brother? Then our whole family will enjoy the good life."
There was no dissatisfaction on Zhao Tian's honest face. He nodded and said, "Dad, I'll listen to you."
"Okay, let's eat," said Zhao's father. The only sounds on the table were the sounds of chopsticks and porridge being sipped.
After finishing dinner and washing the dishes, Zhao Ye returned to his little room and lay on the bed, thinking about bringing some cakes to Brother Li tomorrow. The injured cannot be left hungry.
Sun Jiao lay in bed, unable to fall asleep, looking at Zhao Tian who was already snoring.
He was so angry that he pushed Zhao Tian and said, "My parents must have some money, so they kept it for the third child. We work like slaves for them every day. Do you hear me?"
Zhao Tian turned over and was about to fall asleep again. He said, "What are you talking about? I'm the eldest. It's my duty to do more work and take care of my younger brother. The money should be managed by our parents. Besides, when the third child passes the exam, we will all enjoy the good life together."
Sun Jiao rolled her eyes and said, "Enjoy life? I'm afraid I can't wait for that day. All the money is spent on him alone. Everything is tied to him. My two children can't even eat an egg. Hu Zi is 7 years old. Uncle San can go to school, so Hu Zi should go too. Go and tell your parents, do you hear me?"
Zhao Tian said impatiently, "Okay, I got it. We have to get up early to work tomorrow. Go to bed. I'll talk to my parents later."
Sun Jiao then lay down and went to sleep peacefully.
The next day, when Li Shao woke up, the wounds on his body had scabbed over and his mental strength had recovered a lot. According to the terrifying physique of the new humans on Earth, the physical wounds would heal in a day or two.
It is difficult to recover mental strength, but there is no need to use mental strength to fight here.
It is estimated that he will be able to recover to the second level in about ten days, and then his spiritual space will be opened. Although the spiritual space is only a few cubic meters, it contains the gold and jewelry he has collected over the years.
Although humans have established a new social civilization, gold has always been a hard currency, so he has stored a lot of it. It should be able to exchange for a lot of money in this unknown dynasty.
Yesterday, he only ate a bun given by Ye Ge'er, which was not enough to fill his stomach. Li Shao planned to go out for a walk, take a good look at this new world, and get himself something to eat.
Li Shao walked lightly and approached a pheasant silently. He flicked a stone with his fingers and the pheasant fell down.
After wandering around in the woods for a long time, I found a nest of pheasant eggs, a deer, two pheasants, and three hares.
Li Shao couldn't help but sigh that this world was so peaceful and the animals were so gentle and cute.
After taking the prey back to the cabin, making a fire and roasting them, Li Shao left a pheasant, a rabbit and some eggs for Ye Ge'er.
Thinking about his future life, this village has beautiful mountains and rivers, and Ye Ge'er is there, so Li Shao decided to stay here.
No matter what era it is, the population supervision and census should be very strict. If you want to have a legal identity here, you need to plan it.
