ef.When Second Brother left earlier, he carefully gave him a few instructions. Only then did he realize that Second Brother and the others were plotting something big, wanting to bring Big Brother hom...The ten mu of land behind the yard wouldn't have enough time to plant grain.

But planting some cabbages and radishes, will be good to have at home for the winter.

Li Lao'er and his several brothers carried hoes and worked together, tidying up one mu of land in a day.

Jia Ren went up the mountain with several of his younger brothers to chop wood, dragging it home and stacking it up. This was crucial for the family to stay warm through the winter.

Only Wu Cuiflower would occasionally hide to shirk her work, but when it came to mealtime, she was more eager than anyone else.

Although Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying were diligent, they could also complete the tasks neatly without Wu Cuifang's help.

But Lao Tai Li looked down on this sneaky person, planning to settle things thoroughly and then properly discipline her second daughter-in-law.

During the day, Jia Ren and Jia Yi chopped wood. In their spare time, they dug up a lot of wild vegetables on the back mountain.

Knock the soil off the roots and arrange them neatly in a basket, then place it in the sunniest spot to dry.

During the winter, blanching it in hot water after soaking, and dipping it in sauce is also a delicious dish.

On this day, Li Lao Er carried a wild chicken that Li Lao Si had caught on the mountain yesterday and went to the village head's house to borrow a donkey cart.

I'm planning to go to the county to buy more food and prepare for winter.

The village head had hitched the donkey cart for Lao Er Li, but he refused to take the wild chicken.

Li Lao'er insisted on giving it, and laughed.

"Uncle, this is a little something from our family. Please keep it and eat it!" After saying that, she got on the donkey cart and went to town to buy grain.

This time, Old Li gave him five taels of silver, enough to buy hundreds of jin of sorghum flour.

At that time, adding some fine noodles will be very satisfying whether you steam buns or make flatbreads.

Jia Yin was lying on the kang playing a tambourine, practicing hard to make her little hands obey her brain.

Li Lao Tai was commanding several half-grown boys to tidy up the storeroom, washing clay jars, and then putting grain in them to prevent rodent infestation.

Jia Yin gazed at the roof, pondering about going hunting with her father in the mountains tomorrow.

In the space, dozens more eggs have been gathered, and hundreds of pounds of sweet potatoes have also been dug up. Whenever an opportunity arises, they will be taken out.

She's still too young now, even simple things require help from others, it's really inconvenient. She desperately wants to grow up faster.

The lotus-like chubby arms swayed even more happily, and the drum also followed with a happy "dong dong dong".

"Oh my, our little Fu Niu is so happy today, isn't she"

Grandma Li loved seeing her granddaughter so happy, she quickly scooped her up into her arms.

Jia Yin responded with a few gurgles, starting their daily bonding time.

Jia Ren several huddled together, secretly touching the hands and feet of the little sister, also laughing with joy...

Early the next morning, Lao Si Li ate breakfast and then strapped on his bow and arrow, preparing to continue hunting in the mountains.

Hunt more wild chickens, make some chicken soup for Tao Hongying to nourish her body and increase her breast milk. Then she won't have to worry about the little girl going hungry.

Jia Yin was drinking milk when she heard the sound of Li Lao Si and Li Lao Tai talking.

She hurriedly lifted her head from Tao Hongying's chest and let out two cries of "aaa" toward Li Laosi's back.

"Lao Si, Fu Niu'er is calling for you."

Li Laotai, who spent her days with her granddaughter, understood her best. Seeing this, she tried calling out, and sure enough, Jia Yin excitedly waved her hands repeatedly.

Li Lao Si turned his head and saw his daughter stretching out her little hand to hug him.

He was truly overwhelmed, hurriedly scooping their daughter from his wife's arms. His arm stiffened and he dared not use any force.

Tao Hongying let out a chuckle and got up to teach Li Laosi, "You hold it like this."

Li Lao Si adjusted his posture, teasing his daughter for a while, and reluctantly placed her back in Tao Hongying's arms.

"Wait for me until today, I will definitely bring back some wild eggs for my daughter. A child this big can eat egg custard, right"

As he spoke, he turned to leave, but Jiayin cried out again and reached out for a hug.

Seeing that Old Li didn't pay her any attention, she started to cry loudly.

Li Laosì and Tao Hóngyíng were both flustered and quickly checked if their daughter had wet herself.

Jia Yin, taking hold of Li Lao Si's sleeve and refusing to let go, Li Lao Tai pondered for a moment before tapping her granddaughter on the head and asking.

"Funiu'er, are you reluctant to part with your father"

"Ah," Jia Yin replied.

Li Laotai blinked her eyes a couple of times and asked again, "So you want to go up the mountain with your father"

"Ah ah!" This time, Kaion didn't just respond with two sounds, but danced joyfully...

If there's anything else you don't understand, Li Laotai decisively instructed her son and daughter-in-law.

"Take Funiu on your back, and you all go together."

"No way, Mother! What if we encounter a black bear or a wolf on the mountain Plus, there are so many mosquitos!"

Li Lao Si was the first to object, and Tao Hongying also hesitated.

But Old Li waved her hand, “Didn't Mrs. Sun give a piece of fine gauze Just wrap it around Fu Niuer. My granddaughter wants to go up the mountain, we can't disappoint the child.”

Li Laosi and Tao Hongying both found it a bit funny and embarrassing. After all, their daughter only made a few incoherent noises, and everything was based on the old lady's guesses. It was probably not true at all.

But they still only obeyed, hurrying to get busy.

Zhao Yuru helped look for fine gauze, while Wu Cuifang secretly smirked on the side, feeling very resentful in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything.

The back hills of Qingshui Village are densely forested, but because of this, there are many wild animals, each very cunning. At the slightest rustle of wind or grass, they would dart into the low shrubs and vanish without a trace.

Even Li Lao Si, a sharpshooter who was known for never missing his target, made a rare miss this time.

As the sun climbed higher in the sky, Tao Hongying found an open patch of ground and sat down with Jia Yin to rest.

Jia Yin's jet-black eyes spun rapidly. Taking advantage of Tao Hongying's inattention, she flung two knocked-out rabbits from the space.

This is a pair of rabbits she raised in her small courtyard. When she first returned to the village, a neighbor gave her the rabbits to pass the time.

Well, this pair of rabbits turned out to be prolific breeders. They're about to overrun the place in a few months. So today, I decided to give the little courtyard some relief...

When Tao Hongying turned her head, she saw two bloody rabbits under the tree. She was startled and shouted hurriedly.

"Lao Si, Lao Si, come here quickly!"

Hearing the call, Li Laosì thought something had happened and ran back quickly.

Seeing the plump, big gray rabbit, Li Laosì was also surprised, "This...perhaps because of the heat, the rabbit has gone crazy"

Jia Yin giggled, "Dad really found a good excuse!"

Such a big rabbit could feed a whole family two or three meals, Li Lao Si happily loaded the rabbit into his basket.

The couple wasn't tired yet and continued to wander around the area. As a result, they found seven or eight "stunned" rabbits and even two nests of eggs, totaling over thirty.

When Li Laosi finally descended the mountain, his knapsack was overflowing, and he was still carrying a wild chicken with colorful tail feathers in his hand.

Not only that, Tao Hongying also found a large patch of red mushrooms in a patch of grass.

These mushrooms are tender whether they're stewed in soup or stir-fried, she was delighted.

A family of three returned home laden with goods, unloading them in the yard. Even Li Lao Tai was astonished.

"Is this what you guys got from the back mountain" Lao Li stared at the mushrooms and wild chicken and rabbit, looking completely incredulous.

Li Lao Si nodded and, seeing that no one else in the family was paying attention, whispered in Li Laotai's ear.

"Mother, the rabbit that we couldn't catch yesterday, ran into a tree by itself today. These are all dead from the impact, and we just picked them up."

When Li Laotai heard this, she instinctively looked at Jia Yin."Was this sent over by Suijin Beach"The little eunuch pinched the silver note in his sleeve and smiled obsequiously, replying: "Yes, Manager. Master Li delivered it personally to the palace gate.""Mas...
