s and asked, "Is this young man from the kitchen Can he also make desserts""It's just a simple hand, doing some odd jobs." Pengchuan replied cautiously with a smile: "The rules of our shop are that ap...She figured it out, her granddaughter's things didn't just appear out of thin air. They must have been stolen from some hidden magical place!

Her whole family ate and drank with them, looking for some seeds to give back to their granddaughter. That way, at least she wouldn't be embarrassed in front of the immortals...

Jia Yin didn't know if Grandma guessed right, but she was so happy that the old woman was so righteous and solved her big problem.

While her family was busy with spring planting, she also had a lot to do.

In the fields, we should plant grain, and in the garden, we should plant vegetables. We should also feed pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits.

All these jobs add up to quite a bit.

It's hard for her, being a baby who just learned to crawl...

There was no way around it, she worked day and night, most of the time just sleeping when she wasn't busy.

This actually made Lao Tai Li boast to everyone, saying that her granddaughter was so easygoing and considerate. She always knew how to ease the burden on the family and never caused any trouble. She just slept all day long...

Rise at dawn and work until sunset.

The whole family worked hard for half a month and finally planted all thirty acres of land.

Twenty mu of sorghum, ten mu of millet, and some beans were planted in the corners of the field.

During autumn, even a few bags of harvested vegetables would be enough to satisfy Big Qing's appetite. At least we wouldn't have to trade with villagers for pickled vegetables.

When the weather gets hot, Wu Sanniang and Zhang Ersao would all come over, taking their own blocks of fermented bean paste with them.

In each family's vegetable garden, choose a place that receives sunlight throughout the day.

Get a small clay pot, crumble the sauce, and add a large amount of salt.

The jar opening is covered with white cloth to prevent dust. The four corners of the cloth are weighted down with small stones and tied with red ribbons. This ensures that the fermented soybean paste tastes delicious.

After that, one needs to rake twice a day. This means gathering the fermented mold from the bottom of the tank and scooping it all out thoroughly.

Of course, one mustn't forget a broken basin for a lid.

If it rains, cover it up to prevent the soy sauce from getting wet and smelling bad.

Jia Yin was carried by her grandmother and learned the whole process.

He finally held onto the rake tightly and, with all his might, raked a few times before giving up.

The Li family had a rare chance to rest and slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky.

Lao Li retrieved a piece of meat from the well and two heads of cabbage. She planned to make some cabbage and pork dumplings.

Even the bystanders were impressed, but Jia Xi'an, who had been tanned black like a mud loach, was already jumping for joy.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru helped mince the filling and knead the dough, while Li Laosi went to feed the big green cow with some cabbage leaves.

Li La Er tidied up the house. In two days, it would be time for spring plowing, and the children in the village would have to go back to school.

Jia Ren will be returning to the academy tomorrow and is packing his things.

Jia Yi was eager to try it, planning to finish the dumplings and then go to the鏢 bureau to ask his master when he would be going out on a mission again. He was itching for action.

Longing to be home while outside, and wanting to go out when I'm at home...

When the whole family was busy, Mrs. Guo arrived at the door.

She forced a smile, but it was plastered on her face with exaggerated muscles. It looked awkward and uncomfortable, almost better if she hadn't smiled at all.

Everyone in the Li family saw her, but no one spoke, as if she were invisible.

Although Guo's heart was filled with anger, she had to bite her tongue and say it with a smile.

"Older sister, are you busy Is the land in your house finished planting Do you need our family to help"

Li Laotai didn't even raise her eyelids, and directly threw out a sentence, "No need."

Guo was choked so badly, she almost wanted to turn and leave. But thinking of the five acres of land still empty at home, she continued to flatter him.

"Big sister... that is, your family has more people, so doing chores is convenient. Unlike our family, we only have two sons."

"Big Zhu's health isn't good, and Laifu has a bit of work in the city. Neither of the daughters-in-law are any use, so it all boils down to me, this old woman."

"Since none of your family can work, what are you coming here to say that you'll help my family"

Old Mrs. Li swept the courtyard with a broom in her hand, and she started scolding without any mercy, which made Ms. Guo grit her teeth secretly in anger.

Old Li didn't even glance at it. Now that her granddaughter could crawl, she would sneak out all the time.

There shouldn't be any stones in the courtyard, in case the granddaughter gets one in her mouth.

Besides, putting it on the knees wouldn't work either, that delicate little child...

Guo was left out in the cold for a long time, and the dust kicked up by the broom stung her even more. She finally couldn't stand it any longer.

"Big sister, have you finished planting all the crops at your place You won't need livestock anymore. Tomorrow, lend us your mule to plow our field!"

Dazhu wouldn't use livestock, so he let Lao Si go to help. A total of five mu of land was planted in one day.

"No, our mule has been tired for half a month, and it needs to rest these days. "

You should buy your own livestock. If you can't afford it, just like the villagers, use your shoulders to pull the plow. If your neighbors don't have donkeys, they still manage to finish planting their fields.

Li Laotai most disliked was the laziness of Liu's family.

There were a dozen or so families in the village, and the Liu family, with its two sons, had the largest population. As a result, the Liu family was the poorest of them all.

The thatched hut is about to collapse, the autumn harvest's grain has rotted in the muddy fields, and spring planting has been delayed until the very last moment.

Such people, setting aside grievances and grudges, are still unable to move.

Otherwise, helping once will lead to them becoming dependent on the Lee family afterward.

They take the benefits, the Li family does the work, and in the end, Xu is probably left with a load of resentment.

Simply refuse outright from the beginning.

To sum it up, Liu Jia's only relative was her brother, who is now also deceased.

These remaining ones, there is not even a shred of familial affection to be found.

Guo was rejected time and time again, thoroughly infuriating her.

"Older sister, you're so heartless! Even if you don't like me, I'm still a guest.

But Da Zhu and Lai Fu are your nephews! You'd let your nephews suffer

The old woman rolled her eyes and looked at Guo as if she were an idiot.

Liu Gen'er is dead, our two families are severed. You have your own land, you don't plant it yourself. What reason do you have to expect us to take care of it

"The fourth child is still my own son, isn't an own son closer than a nephew There's no reason to let your own son suffer while your nephew just lazes around! Get out of here!"

She stomped the dirt with her foot a few times, then went back into the courtyard.

Under the eaves, an old mattress was laid out. Jia Yin sat on it, nibbling on fruit and watching the commotion, wishing she could applaud grandma's performance.

When Guo realized she wasn't getting any benefit, she completely lost it, jumping up and shouting angrily.

"A bunch of heartless scoundrels, you're not afraid Liu Gen will come back to settle the score with you!"

"When my aunt is not around to protect her nephew, she knows how to bully our poor, orphaned family! Oh woe is me! I can't go on living like this! Liu Gen'er, please come back and see us!"

When the villagers heard the commotion, they came to see what was happening and joined in with gleeful laughter.

"Aunt Liu is really something else! With two sons and their wives, each one of them is lazy and won't lift a finger. When it comes to work, they suddenly remember distant relatives! It clearly shows that the sons are closer now, too spoiled to get tired."

Mrs. Guo became even more agitated, "You don't know anything! Da Zhu has a weak constitution, and Lai Fu is making his fortune in the city..."

"Make money Just hire someone with silver! Not too many, one hundred coins a day, I'll help you grow your crops!"

"Why don't you go rob it"

Mrs. Guo was still scolding, while Li Lao Si had already gone to find an axe and was about to open the courtyard gate.

She screamed in fright and ran away.

Soft fears hard, hard fears sharp, sharp fears the fearless!

She wants to shirk work and leech off the Li family, but she doesn't want to risk her life here!

Li Laotai held her granddaughter, pretending not to see her son scaring Guo Shi. But she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh...

As long as Guo Shi lives her life as an individual, enjoying time with her nephew, how could she, as his aunt, not help him

But this family is just hopeless!

Guo ran all the way home, so angry that she slammed the door and smashed a vase.

Liu Tiezhu was snoring loudly on the kang, completely ignoring it.

Su Niang and Chun Hong could only ask a few questions upon hearing this.overjoyed and directly left all the private rooms of Xianke Lai by the street for his family.The village head and Old Zhao, along with other elders, occupied one room. The old master Liu, Liu Zhiheng,...
