Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 3 3 just leave it to me

Li Changhui joined the army ten years ago, and almost every year he would bring some money back, not much, just two or three taels of silver, but it was more than enough to raise two children in the village.

After all, as long as you are not hungry or cold, one tael of silver is enough, not to mention several taels every year, during which Li Changhui came back twice, and each time he left the silver.

Over the past ten years, the Li family has obtained about a hundred taels of silver from Li Changhui. Naturally, they also have the money to build a new house, which is still a big brick house, which is quite impressive.

It was not that no one joined the army with Li Changhui back then, and in the next few years, some people left the village one after another, but up to now, only Li Changhui has returned, and almost all the others have ended up with a small pension.

Li Changhui has been away from home for too long, infested and killed all the year round, and has become estranged from his family. Not only are they free from family separation, but other people are also free.

And the place where they live now is also the former house of the Li family. The mud-tiled house is a bit old, but the advantage is that the house is bigger.

The newly built brick house now houses Li Changhui's parents, two younger brothers and daughters-in-law, and several nephews and nieces.

Li Changhui was generous, he gave his 20 taels of silver to his parents when he got home, saying it was retirement money for his retirement.

It's a pity that when the family was separated, apart from giving them enough food for the autumn harvest, and some basic daily necessities such as pots and pans, they didn't have any money.

In other words, they are now penniless.

There is no rule of keeping silent at home, Lin He pondered the situation at home, feeling a little worried.

"An'er is still young, rough rice is not easy to digest, I spend a lot of oil and salt for cooking, and now the oil is almost gone, and it will be summer soon, Yu'er Hao'er is alright, with the same amount as in previous years old clothes, the three of us don’t have any.”

Obviously they didn't care about anything before, just cook and eat, but now they are considered a family, and if there is no accident, they still have to live together for many years, and they can't really just not worry about everything.

Fortunately, it's just some trivial things in life.

Li Changhui obviously had plans in advance. Hearing this, he was not worried at all. He just said indifferently, "It's okay. I'll go hunting in the mountains in the afternoon. I observed them in the past few days. There are many pheasants on the mountains, and there should be rabbits and other small animals."

Lin He was surprised: "Are you still hunting?"

In the original owner's memory, the hunter seemed to be a very capable person, because it meant that there was no shortage of meat or money.

Then he reacted again, a little annoyed: "I almost forgot, you must have some real skills to be able to serve in the army for ten years."

Li Changhui glanced at her and didn't say much.

On the contrary, Li Yu and Li Hao, who just got a new name, were shocked when they heard their father talk about hunting, their eyes widened and their faces were full of excitement.

Especially Li Yu, whose dark face was flushed with excitement: "Father, you can also hunt, then we will have a lot of meat to eat in the future!"

Li Hao also opened his eyes wide, looking at his father without blinking, the admiration in his eyes was about to materialize.

Li Changhui was calm: "Be more obedient in the future, and your meat will be indispensable."

Lin He's eyes lit up, "No wonder I use so much oil, you don't even mention me."

She was willing to put oil in her cooking. This time when the family separated, her mother-in-law gave her a small bowl of lard. According to the meals she ate at her mother-in-law's house a few days ago, this small bowl of oil can last for half a month.

But it’s for her pancakes, boiled noodles, etc. She almost finished eating it in seven or eight days. Even porridge, she would grab two handfuls of rice to make it thicker. No wonder Li Yu and Li Hao said she made it. The food is delicious.

Correspondingly, the consumption of rice, flour, grain and oil is naturally greater.

Li Changhui's expression remained unchanged: "It's okay, you will have the energy to work when you are full, and you can decide what to cook at home in the future. Tell me what is missing, and I will find a solution."

Lin He looked sideways, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, this man is really responsible, but in this way, he felt a lot of disappointment.

At least in the future, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.

After the family ate, Lin He washed the dishes, Li Yu wiped the table and swept the floor, while Li Changhui took a hoe and sickle, and found food seeds, ready to work in the fields.

Li An was placed in a small bed made of bamboo, and he was allowed to roll and crawl casually without worrying about falling off, let alone Li Hao watching.

Lin He glanced at Li Changhui who had gone out, and then at the clothes hanging in the yard. Except for the ones brought back by Li Changhui himself, the rest were full of patches.

"Yu'er, you are not young anymore, you have to learn to wash clothes by yourself in the future, and you can't always let your father do it for you."

Li Yu waved the broom without raising his head: "Mom, why don't you wash your clothes for you? Anyway, even ours have been washed, and you don't have any more."

Lin He rolled his eyes at him: "Don't worry about the adults' business, children!"

Li Yu pursed her mouth: "Just now I said that my boss is not young."

Lin He's eyes widened: "Poor mouth, be careful, I'll tell your father!"

Li Yu didn't dare to talk nonsense in an instant. Although his father didn't beat anyone, his face turned dark and when he looked at him coldly, he was really scary.

After tidying up the house, he checked Li An's diaper, and changed him to a new one after peeing. He told Li Hao not to run around and keep an eye on his younger brother at home. Lin He led Li Yu up the mountain.

Xiang'an Village is not big, but it's not small either. There are about a hundred households in the whole village. There are many women and few men, especially adult men.

In fact, the entire Dadu Dynasty is similar. After all, the ten-year-long campaign consumed an incredible amount of manpower.

Xiang'an Village is just a small mountain village in a remote area. There are many such small villages in Dadu.

nothing special.

Lin He thought to himself.

Let Li Yu take him to dig wild vegetables, mainly to avoid going to other people's places. After all, even if it is wild vegetables, if it grows in other people's fields, it has an owner.

Going up the mountain, looking around the whole Xiang'an Village, the village is quite big. At the moment, many people are working in the fields, and she is the only one who has the leisure time to dig wild vegetables during the spring plowing season.

But in this season, there are quite a lot of wild vegetables. The mother and son went home with two baskets of wild vegetables in less than half an hour on the hillside.

There are dandelions, endives, and wild onions, etc. When I came back, I passed by the place where Li Changhui was working, and saw him digging in full swing, with sweat sliding down his forehead and down his chin.

The man is strong and powerful, and works hard. Even if he is alone, he is working in the field with other couples.

Li Changhui was taken aback, so he had to stop what he was doing and looked at his brave little cook.

Lin He came back to his senses: "I saw a bamboo forest on the mountain, but it's a bit far away. Can you take me with you when you go hunting in the afternoon? I'll go dig some bamboo shoots and I won't disturb you."

Now that we have dug bamboo shoots, they can be stored for several months after being dried in the sun. If the weather gets warmer, there will be no more bamboo shoots.

Li Changhui: "Okay, we will all go in the afternoon, you wait for me near the bamboo forest, and I will go to the mountains alone."

Li Yu on the side immediately cheered: "That's great, thank you dad, I'm going to the mountain too!"

There was no one else around them, and the nearest one was two to three hundred meters away. Li Yu cheered so happily, but no one heard it.

But even if you hear it, it's okay, the two adults in the family don't care about other people's opinions.

For example, since Lin He has been in Xiang'an Village for so long, he has never been to the field once, which is enough to make the villagers chew their tongues.

No, someone will come over to give a lecture soon.
