It's unusual for a farmer to have a girl

Chapter 8 Life Makes You Strong
"What's inappropriate? It's not that you don't have a wife? The sister-in-law is not alone, there are a lot of children in the family."

Mrs. Li is slowly seductive.

"Don't they all say that a sister-in-law is like a mother? Let's respect the elders, who dares to talk nonsense."

Besides, when the family was not separated, we all lived in the back room, next to the hill, and we didn't see anyone talking nonsense.

Don't all the people in the village live like this?
"Isn't there an old man there?"

Li Benshan still felt that it was inappropriate. The sister-in-law was a widow after all, so she should avoid suspicion.

"Hey! This family is really aggrieved. Now I see the front of me and I feel panicked."

Seeing that his man couldn't make any sense, he knew that it was impossible for him to cling to his sister-in-law while taking advantage of the heat just after separation.

Li Shi couldn't help crying.

Obviously, the mother-in-law left more than ten acres of land, but when the family was separated, it became the dowry of the step-in-law.

The father-in-law is even more eccentric to the armpit, and he is just like the stepmother's echo.

Besides, my family only has one mu of Susukida, but there are more than 20 mu over there!
The sister-in-law is gone, what kind of work is there, can't you grind them hard?
Thinking of this mu of land again, Li Shi became even more angry.

Don't bully people like that.

Whoever is a big family will be given one mu of land?
Didn't the Zhao family talk about dowry, and the father-in-law oppressed others with filial piety?

No wonder it is said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather.

The father-in-law of my family is not as good as the relatives of others.

Leave [-] acres of land, and want us to do the work for you in vain, hum!just wait!
And my uncle is not a thing.

What did you say that my brother-in-law is the hope of the old Li family, and he will shine brightly in the future.

Pooh!
My brother-in-law's eyes are higher than the top, and he usually doesn't look at them directly.No matter how good your knowledge is, your own family will not be able to benefit from high school.

Not to mention sister-in-law, she is a big lady.Don't talk about what to do, and have a vicious heart, even daring to harm your own niece.

The more Li thought about it, the angrier she became, the angrier she became, the sadder she became, and the sadder she became, the more wronged she became.

From the redness of the eye circles to the continuous tears, he just sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

Li Benshan was also very depressed. Seeing his daughter-in-law crying so sad, he didn't know how to comfort her.

"Don't cry, it really doesn't work, let's rent a house and move out."

Mrs. Li paused, "Forget it, it costs money to rent a house."

After crying enough, Mrs. Li got up and fetched water to wash her face, then squatted down in front of her man and solemnly said:
"Anyway, the family is separated, and you won't answer them if you call over there in the future, and you can't take care of them. Even if we are idle, we won't do anything for them."

Li Benshan sighed, but still nodded and said: "Okay, don't do it."

He stood up abruptly.

"I'm going to find someone to help. Let's pull up the courtyard wall overnight. Go and buy a pot, and I'll build the stove."

As Li Benshan said, he strode out, and Li Shi also told Xiaodao to be optimistic about Sanshun, and then swaggered aggressively to buy pots.

Li Benshan led people to build the courtyard wall overnight, and Song also took the children to dig cellars overnight.

The cellar is dug at night, and the soil dug out of the cellar is used to paste the roof with wheat straw during the day, and then reeds are pressed, and two more layers of paste are used to block wind and rain.

Dazhu's body is just right, even though he is a boy, he is still too small.

Therefore, Mrs. Song did it alone when repairing the roof of the house.

When the second uncle's family came to help, Song had already repaired the roof.

Aunt Lihua, a neighbor to the west, praised everyone: "Dazhu's mother is really capable, she can take on any job."

Someone followed and sighed: "Really? I really didn't see it."

Some people also said: "There is no man in the family, what can she do, this woman is capable, she is forced out."

Some people also said: "That also scores people, like Widow Liu, you can't do it."

"Hey! Widow Liu has delicate skin and tender flesh. When she beckons, someone rushes to work. It's so hard."

Hee hee haha, gossiping people get farther and farther away...

Xiaomian's family didn't know the gossip and gossip of the villagers. After half a month of busy work behind closed doors, the family finally took shape.

Damai is 13 years old, and he is already able to make clothes, shoes and socks in a decent way.

After breakfast that day, Xiao Mian turned around and didn't see Mrs. Song and her elder brother.

I asked my sister who was sewing, "Where did mother go?"

"I went to chop firewood. The weather is getting colder and colder. Mother said to chop some firewood and exchange wheat straw."

Xiao Mian was puzzled, "What are you doing in exchange for straw? Isn't the house repaired?"

"It's cold, it's time to plant grass and pave the ground."

The 13-year-old Damai sighed like an adult, and said, "There are two big piles of wheat straw at my grandfather's side. If you want to say it, you have to have our share, but mother is very strong, and she doesn't want to use it."

Xiao Mian said: "Mother is not only trying to be strong, she is hiding from the old house."

Whether it's breaking up the family or moving to the east, my mother is deliberately drawing a clear line from the old house.

But what is this "grass floor"?
Xiao Mian asked if he didn't understand.

As a result, Da Mai looked at Xiao Mian as if he were looking at a monster.

"Have you forgotten everything about the grass? We pack it so thick with straw every winter. Don't you sleep on it every day?"

Xiao Mian was speechless.

But from inside and outside of Damai's words, she also understood what "grass paved the ground" is.

As the name suggests, it is a mattress filled with grass.

Most of them are sewn with burlap into the shape of a quilt, filled with a thick layer of wheat straw, and spread on the bed as a mattress.

Dry wheat straw is moisture-proof and windproof, and it is not easy to break when crushed. It is very warm to sleep on in winter.

It is widely used in rural areas, the main reason is that it is cheap and does not cost money.

While admiring the wisdom of the common people, Xiao Mian thought about how much wheat straw was used to install the "grass floor" at home.

My brother is 11 years old and has already separated the bed.

Then install at least two beds. It is cold in winter, and the thicker the "grass floor" is, the better.

That straw will take a lot.

"Sister, why don't I go and steal the wheat straw from Grandpa's house, anyway, we have a share, right?"

Xiao Mian thought, she has space, and when the time comes, she will steal the straw and put it in the space...

Damai abruptly put down his work, glared and said, "How dare you!"

"Father and mother taught us since we were young: steal needles when we were young, steal gold when we grow up, and sneak into the yamen. If you dare to act recklessly, I will beat you if mother doesn't want to beat you."

Xiao Mian quickly said: "No, sister, I was just joking."

Oh my god, the eldest sister is always gentle and gentle, but she didn't expect to start a fire and it would be scary.

"Then I'm going to help my mother chop firewood."

Since stealing is not allowed, let's chop more firewood and exchange for straw.

Xiao Mian left the house and went up the mountain.

The dirt road at the entrance extends eastward for [-] meters and then turns south. Go straight to the South Road, and you can see a village in the distance. It is said that it is Linhe Village.

From the corner and go straight east, it is the path into the mountain.

Daqing Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, with deep forests and lush leaves.

After walking not far, I saw my mother and elder brother coming over pushing a cart full of dry firewood.

Xiao Mian hurried over to help push it.

"Mom, whose car is this?"

"It belongs to your Aunt Lihua's house. While we have a car now, let's chop more hardwood, which is heavy and resistant to fire."

The three hacked and pulled back and forth several times.Stack branches and twigs at the foot of your yard and let it dry naturally.
