After having breakfast in a daze, Li Dong went to the west room to catch up on his sleep.

Li Meili didn't see Li Dong when she came to work, so she asked Liu Caixia.

Knowing that Li Dabao had gone to catch up on his sleep, Li Meili rolled his eyes and served Liu Caixia very attentively.

Liu Caixia, who had just finished a bowl of rice porridge, got a bowl of boiled water...

Aunt Li stared at the back of Li Meili, who was going to empty the potty in the backyard, and mouthed Li Weijun's lips.

Li Weijun shouted "Sister" to Li Meili who was counting bricks by the wall of the backyard, scaring the potty out of Li Meili's hand.

Li Weijun glanced at her and said, "Sister, have you forgotten the second aunt?"

Li Meili picked up the bedpan and ran over, warning the eldest brother, "You are not allowed to tell the second aunt."

"Humph!"

Li Weijun snorted heavily and turned back to the front yard. The second brother was right, the eldest sister was stupid and didn't know it.

……

The village doctor came to give Liu Caixia an injection. When he saw the bedpan in Li Meili's hand, he said that he really needed someone in the hospital to get this.

Li Meili, who put the bedpan under the bed, slapped her hands and said, "Village doctor, is this difficult to buy? This is an old one."

"Disaster."

The village doctor nodded, "I couldn't buy it even if I wanted to, just because I don't know a doctor who can use such things."

Li Meili asked, "Which doctor can be used?"

The village doctor glanced at her and said, "Why are you asking? Your mother can get out of bed by herself."

The village doctor stopped gossiping and asked Liu Caixia how her waist felt.

Li Meili pouted at the village doctor's back. Isn't it just a half-bucket of water that even the county hospital doesn't want?What are you pulling?

……

Liu Dayong only bought four tube bones and a hanging pig intestine.

Aunt Li brought the prepared plant ashes and went to the river with her husband to wash the pig intestines.

Li Meili looked at the people gathered around picking cotton, and then went to the west side room to serve Liu Caixia.

Liu Caixia "..." If Sister Dabao hadn't told her, she really didn't want to drink so much boiled water.

Li Meili went to the backyard again, and no one followed her, because Li Dong had told her to scare Li Meili first, and then let Li Meili rummage secretly.

……

When the bell rang and Li Meili finished work, Li Dong woke up and was surrounded by four younger brothers when he came out to report on Li Meili's movements.

Li Dong nodded, "You are all very capable. When I go to the county next time, I will buy you a white rabbit."

Liu Caixia lay in the west side room every day, and Li Dong couldn't use the room to cover up and get the candy out.

Li Weimin held a dictionary and asked Li Dong to teach him how to spell.

After teaching, Li Dong said casually, "People, reading and literacy are good, but you can't devote yourself to it wholeheartedly. You are not a student in school."

Li Weimin told Li Dong his mother's plan to teach him yesterday, "...Sister Dabao, if possible, I also want to get a diploma."

"It's useless."

Li Dong shook his head, "Elementary school can be self-study, but junior high school requires teaching."

"Even if you get a junior high school diploma, even if you enter a state-owned unit, you still have to start as an apprentice and work as a temporary worker."

"Even if you become a formal worker, you can earn 36 yuan a month, but it's not as much as what I earn from a trip to the county."

"Now it seems that state-owned units are very popular, but when it comes to really needing to spend a lot of money, those workers will still go to the unit accountant to borrow money."

"You worked hard for it, but in the end you were only a little better than the farmers."

"When the country's agricultural technology develops in the future, those workers will not necessarily be better than farmers."

Li Weimin was at a loss.

Li Dong smiled and asked, "People, what do you want is food and clothing, or do you want to make a fortune?"

Looking at Sister Dabao's smile, Li Weimin boldly stated his 'desire', "First, to have enough food and clothing, and then to make a fortune."

Li Dong nodded, "Then don't follow the path your mother has arranged for you. From now on, whatever leaks between my fingers will be enough to make you rich."

Li Weimin nodded vigorously, "I listen to Sister Dabao."

He will definitely not let down Sister Dabao.

"Remember what you said today."

Li Dong patted his shoulder, "Think about what your mother and your father did, think about what Li Meili did."

"They are all working hard for their own goals. You work hard for yourself, there is no need to care about them. A person's temperament determines his ending. I hate betrayal the most."

Li Weimin nodded vigorously again, "I understand."

"Okay, let's go play."

Li Dong waved his hand.If you want the military and civilians to become completely cold-hearted about that place, it won't happen overnight.It's not like she can brainwash someone with just a few words.

We still need 'cooperation' from the other side. It is most effective to come out and do something if nothing happens, so that the soldiers and civilians will be implicated.

Didn't Minzi get angry at Li Meili last night?

……

Lunch, of course, is rice with Tonggu soup.

Liu Caixia got two tube bones.

After eating, Li Dong gave him another bowl of celery juice.

She didn't want to drink it, "Sister Dabao, the meat just entered my stomach. I couldn't bear to let it come out so quickly."

Li Dong was speechless, "If you can't bear it, won't your stomach stop digesting it? Will your intestines stop moving?"

"You think it's in your stomach, but actually it's become feces in your intestines. Drink it quickly."

Liu Caixia could only drink celery juice, which she thought was comparable to laxatives.

……

When Li Meili came to work, Li Jinrang came with her. He gave 16 yuan to Grandma Li, one yuan of which was to compensate for the bowl.

Grandma Li took out one yuan and gave 15 yuan to her daughter.

Ergu Li didn't want it, so their family ate and drank at her parents' house.

Grandma Li forced the money into her daughter's pocket.

Li Jinrang, who smelled the fragrance in the courtyard, looked at his mother and second sister's rejection with jealousy.

Grandma Li chased her third son, "Go back. If Meimei causes trouble again, I will go to you again to ask for money."

"She doesn't dare anymore." Li Jinrang glanced at his daughter.

Li Meili immediately shrank her neck.

"It's time for you to get to work."

Grandma Li pushed him out of the courtyard and slammed the door.

Want to smell meat?You are so beautiful!

Li Meili not only smelled the smell of meat in the yard, but also smelled the smell of meat when she entered the west side room.

She asked Liu Caixia what she had for lunch.

Liu Caixia looked up at her, "Tonggu soup for lunch. I ate two bowls of soup rice the first two times, but this time I only ate one bowl."

The corner of Li Meili's mouth curved, "Why? Is it because Sister Dabao doesn't give you more food?"

"you are silly."

Liu Caixia shook her head and sighed, "Sister Dabao bought the tube bones and pig intestines for me this time. Look at my posture, can I eat two bowls?"

Li Meili's smile froze, Liu Caixia had become bad.

Liu Caixia pointed to the basket on the ground, "Let's pick cotton."

Seeing that Liu Caixia was also picking cotton, Li Meili was a little dissatisfied, "If I pick cotton too, doesn't it mean that there are two of you working together?"

Liu Caixia glanced at her and said, "You didn't repeat what you did last night with me, right? But it cost my third uncle a dollar. How about I find you something to do that doesn't involve repeating myself?"

When I think of last night, I think of the painful slap last night. Li Meili hurriedly squatted down to pick cotton.

All afternoon, the Li family yard was filled with the aroma of braised food.

Li Meili's eyes glanced out from time to time, picking cotton in a mess.Aunt Li who came to check was scolded.

Li Meili lowered her head to admit her mistake and went to pour water to serve Liu Caixia. The water bowl accidentally fell into the cotton basket.

Second Aunt Li stopped training. Carrying a basket, she dragged Li Meili to the end of the village to find Xu Guixiang.

Xu Guixiang lost two yuan, and Li Ergu kept Mian Mian and Li Meili.

Xu Guixiang sighed, "Meili, even if you pull off this little bit of cotton with your hands, there won't be a pound of lint."

"Yesterday to today, it didn't even take two full days, but I lost three yuan. How about asking your dad to borrow another 30 yuan? Mom can't afford to pay."

"Mother~"

Li Meili pouted, "Li's braised large intestine, the aroma of the stew is unbearable. I didn't mean it. Don't tell dad, he will have to slap me again."

Xu Guixiang's face became very serious, "If you can't stand this temptation, then give up our plan."

"no!"

Li Meili shook her head, "I worked hard for so long and gave up on the Li family..."

Her words were paused under Xu Guixiang's stern gaze.

"Then you should regard this month as training."

Xu Guixiang patted the bedside angrily, "Look at you, you deliberately broke the bowl last night, and today you spilled the water because you were greedy for meat."

"How old are these two things? Mom has endured it for more than ten years. If you hadn't taken random actions, you wouldn't have been exposed at all."

"You have no endurance skills at all. You can't hide your true thoughts in front of Li Ru and Li Dabao. Do you still want to pursue greater wealth? You're dreaming!"

"Mom~ I was wrong."

Li Meili shook her head in panic, "Don't be angry, I promise not to cause trouble again."

"I have almost explored the backyard. As long as Li Dabao moves to hide the bankbook again, I guarantee that I can find it."

Xu Guixiang sighed deeply, "Beautiful, there is no turning back. We must keep going."

"Stop being so petty and learn your skills from mother, okay?"

"it is good!"

Li Meili nodded vigorously: "I will change it!"
