Chapter 34 Not the same

When Mu Yao found Li Nian, he had just returned from the mountain with two bundles of firewood on his back.

"Brother Yao, why are you here?"

Li Nian hurriedly welcomed the person in and offered him a bowl of water.

"I'll bring you something," Mu Yao put the pea cake on the table, "Are you chopping firewood to sell or keep it for yourself?"

"No, I sent it to you," Li Nian said while opening the oil paper bag, and stuffed a piece of pea yellow into his mouth. Just throwing some barley seeds is enough for my own household, and no one in the town is stupid enough to buy firewood!"

After a pause, he suddenly exclaimed, "This pea yellow doesn't seem to be sold by a pastry shop. Theirs is dry and not so sweet."

"You have a big mouth," Mu Yao smiled. "This is a gift from a neighbor. It should be made at home. I gave you two catties and half of it."

Hearing this, Li Nian's chewing movements gradually slowed down, "Brother Yao, you don't have to send over such precious things, just leave them to your sister-in-law and nephew. What do we old men not eat?"

Mu Yao rolled his eyes, "Your sister-in-law made it up!"

"Sister-in-law is so nice!"

"You should tell her face to face." Mu Yao was a little disgusted, "Where's Zhao Jiadingyi?"

"We set up a trap by the river last night. They went to pick up fish. There is still some rough noodles at home. We are going to eat fish pot stickers tonight."

"You guys will enjoy it." Mu Yao simply hated iron and steel, "I don't want to exchange for money when I catch fish, I just want to fill my stomach. What will I do in the future? Spring has only tails left, and it will be winter in a blink of an eye."

After finishing speaking, he thought of one thing, "You don't want to do corvee for others again, do you?"

"That's right," Li Nian explained, "As long as you work hard for a month, you can get a tael of silver, and you can't find anything better than this."

After finishing speaking, seeing Mu Yao's angry eyes, he shrank his neck and explained, "Brother Yao, I know what you are worried about, we have served in the military many times, and we have experience, so we will definitely not be so unlucky, besides, don't you still have you? "

"Shut up, you," Mu Yao was really angry, "Such an adult, can you improve a bit? If it's really a good thing, others will be stupid enough to spend money to replace you? Have you forgotten what happened the year before last?"

When the dam was being built that year, it rained all the time, and then the embankment burst.

The yamen servants saw that things were not going well, so they directly asked the serving people to block the gap with sacks. If the four of them hadn't been tied together with ropes, they would have died in the river like most people.

Even so, I choked on a few saliva, and I still feel scared when I think about it now.

Li Nian was wronged, felt guilty, but still insisted, "Brother Yao, that kind of natural disaster has only been encountered once, how can it be so coincidental every time."

Itchy hands, I can't help it.

Seeing Li Nian's obstinate appearance makes him angry.

So, Mu Yao beat him up with his fist.

Li Nian didn't dare to fight back, so he just covered his head with both hands, "Brother Yao, I know your intentions are good, but it depends on the actual situation. At present, we can't support ourselves at all."

"Who made you foolish and deceived, you deserve it!"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Mu Yao gave another kick, and then sat back on the chair with a cold face.

Just at this moment, Zhao Jia's voice came, "Brother Nian, Ding Yi and I are back, we caught six fish today, let's keep three small ones, how about sending the three big ones to Brother Yao?"

"No need," Mu Yao said in a sad tone, "I can't afford it!"

"Brother Yao is here," Ding Yi said with a smile, "Aren't sister-in-law and nephew together?"

"You don't even weed the yard, and the house is as dirty as a doghouse? I despise you, let alone your sister-in-law!"

Mu Yao has reminded many times about hygiene issues, and Zhao Jia and the others feel that gentlemen don't need to be as careful as women, and they are determined not to change it.

As time passed, Mu Yao didn't bother to talk anymore.

Bringing up old things again today is purely out of a bad mood.

Ding Yi also knew, touched his nose, dragged Zhao Jia to stand beside Li Nian obediently, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Nian, what's going on, did you provoke it?"

Li Nian pouted, unwilling to take the blame, "Brother Yao didn't want us to replace the corvee to make money, and it's not my fault alone."

Although he was the one who made the decision, everyone agreed on this matter.

Hearing this, Zhao Jia and Ding Yi shut up at the same time, leaning against the wall without saying a word.

No matter how unintelligent they are, they are also made out of the dead. They know better than anyone else that they can't make money, but die.

Seeing this, Mu Yao's face became even more ugly, "In a few days, I will take you into the mountains to hunt!"

"Brother Yao, didn't you say that you can't hunt in spring, and you want wild animals in the mountains to give birth?"

Hearing this, Mu Yao said angrily, "People are starving to death, and it doesn't matter if the wild animals have cubs or not!"

"But," Li Nian weakly raised his hand, "Sister-in-law, do you agree?"

Mu Yao was stunned.

Holding his head with a headache.

If the daughter-in-law knew, would she just kick herself out of the house?
Thinking of this made me restless, so I had to stand up and pace back and forth.

In the end, he still didn't dare to make a promise, and only choked out, "I'll try my best to persuade you!"

Throwing down this sentence, he hurriedly left.

Seeing this scene, Li Nian couldn't help shaking his head, "Brother Yao is just as majestic in front of us, and in front of sister-in-law, he doesn't even dare to fart!"

"I am happy to be controlled even if I have a daughter-in-law," Zhao Jia disagreed, "Sister-in-law is so good, brother Yao should be obedient!"

"You want a daughter-in-law too?" Li Nian looked at his brother in surprise, "Why, living with us is not good?"

"Of course it's not good. The whole room smells of stinky feet. People who smell it are disgusting. Don't just blame me. Don't you want to marry a wife?"

"I don't want to," Li Nian spread his hands, "I can't even support myself, and it's impossible for her girl to fall in love with her even if she is blind.

What's more, we don't have a household registration, who knows when we will be taken away and become a strong man, so don't delay the good girl. "

"That's right," Ding nodded in agreement, "You can't always compare yourself to Brother Yao, he's different from us!"

Even though he looks lonely, he has roots, family and household registration. Even if he leaves the house, he can still find a decent business.

not like them...

Thinking of this, Ding Yi's heart moved, "Brother Nian, when shall we log in?"

"Think about it, it's impossible in this lifetime," Li Niancai said rascally after being silent for a while, "One acre of the most inferior land costs five taels of silver, and you have to build a house for corvee service. It's better to deal with the status quo and live one day at a time. , stretch your legs one day, and Brother Yao will take care of the funeral for us."

These words made Ding Yi choke, "Brother Yao, if he knew you thought so, he would definitely beat someone up."

"It's okay," Li Nian didn't care at all, "I'll just get beaten, I'm used to it, it's good to let Brother Yao vent his anger."

After speaking, he greeted Zhao Jia and Ding Yi to eat pea cakes, cheerful and satisfied.

The more bitter the days, the more I like sweets. Just a little bit, I feel better. Even though the top of the head is still covered with dark clouds, I always feel that there will be sunshine after the heavy rain.
