Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Liu Yu also wanted to ask Widow Zhou when Li Dongsheng would come back, but she was still thinking about what to say.

But Widow Zhou waved her hand and said she still had to make lunch. She turned around and walked into the yard.

"Why……!"

Liu Yu was a little helpless. Seeing that Liu Meixiang no longer looked worried as before, she had no choice but to put Li Dongsheng aside for the time being.

At about noon, Liu Maolin took Liu Yan and the helpers to work together, and Nian took Liu Yu and Liu Meixiang home together. Today is the first day of work, so the meals must be prepared richly.

"Come back, Changsheng, too. Your legs haven't healed yet. Don't hurt your muscles and bones again!"

Liu Maolin waved his hand and said to Changsheng who picked up the shovel.

"No, your legs haven't recovered yet, and you can't live without people at home. Chickens, ducks, and pigs have to be taken care of. You and Ayu can stay at home!"

Nian couldn't help but take Changsheng away with him.

From now on, the family will be left in the hands of Ayu and Changsheng. No matter how capable Ayu is, he will always be a brother. Not to mention the distant future, if she gets pregnant in the next two years and raises a child, the family will be in trouble. You have to carry it all your life.

Having a good body is the most important thing for longevity. It doesn't matter whether the house is built one day early or one day late, but it must not tire people out.

Nian has a scale in her heart to weigh her priorities. In her heart, Liu Meixiang, her eldest granddaughter, is important, and longevity is equally important. The palms of her hands and the backs of her hands are all flesh.

You don't have to waste the foundation of eternal life just to return your eldest granddaughter's belongings sooner or later.

If it really causes any disease, it will really make you regret it for the rest of your life.

Lunch is also easy to make, ready-made chicken, duck and fish.

The noodles I made early in the morning were warm in a hot pot. Now they are cooked. I put them on the chopping board, kneaded and exhausted them, and then chopped them into steamed buns. This is the staple food for lunch.

The removed tribute was a chicken with fried, sauce-colored and shiny meat.

The fried chicken was golden on the outside, but still raw on the inside. After Nian's calculation, he cut the chicken into pieces and rolled it in flour to make fried chicken.

Braised pork is even simpler. There are still a lot of dried beans left in the sun last year. Soak them in warm water and wash them all. When the braised pork is shiny and fragrant, throw in the processed dried beans.

Simmer over low heat until the juice is gone. It will take about two bowls of meat, braised pork and dried beans.

Bai Xuanxuan's steamed buns were cooked in a steaming pan, the pan-fried chicken was divided into two plates, two full bowls of braised pork and beans were served, and two large plates of fried tender eggs were added.

In addition, there are two fresh spring cold vegetables, cold wolfberry sprouts, cold broom sprouts, six meat and two vegetarian dishes, eight dishes, which is enough to see.

As soon as the dishes were brought to the main room and laid out, Changsheng had already called everyone back for dinner.

After washing their hands, everyone gave in and took their seats.

Six helpers, Liu Fusheng and Liu Maolin as companions, eight people sitting around, just right.

Nian took out a bowl of vegetables that he had set aside early in the morning and handed it to Liu Yan. He also took out a few steamed buns from the pot, put them in a cloth bag, and put them together into a bamboo basket.

Said: "Send it back to Tianyu, and ask your mother not to come. There are enough people to cook at home, and she doesn't have to work!"

Luya was the biggest, and she had to be watched, and there were two babies underneath who needed to be held. Zhao Tianyu couldn't see it alone. Liu Maolin and Liu Yan worked together to dig the foundation. If Xu Hong was not at home, they would No matter how sensible Zhao Tianyu is, she can't help but have opinions.

Liu Yan was very happy as she held the basket. Most of the dishes left by Grandma were pan-fried chicken and pork belly, but there were no vegetarian dishes at all. The bowl was full and piled high.

Although the family bought chickens and fish from time to time because of Tianyu’s nursing baby, her mother’s skills were mediocre and she mostly cooked soups. After these few months, Tianyu had already privately told herself that her mouth was not so light. Taste.

Tianyu will definitely be happy with such a big bowl of fried meat and vegetables.

The lunch was sumptuous, and the helpers' mouths were filled with oil. When they worked in the afternoon, they all worked hard, and no one was idle.

The homestead site in Liweizi is rarely trampled by people. In previous years, Widow Zhou started gardening and growing vegetables. The top was relatively soft and not too troublesome to dig.

A few people dug down along the lime line until they reached the chicken coop and the cow pen. The foundation of a house to the east was almost the same.

"Brother Maolin, this foundation is about three feet down. What do you think? If it still feels shallow, let's dig another shovel down!"

Xu Liang walked along the dug foundation and measured it with his hands.

"Let's dig another shovel down!" Liu Maolin looked at the side carefully and pondered for a while.

When people in the village build houses, there are usually three feet of land. It is not easy for Mei Xiang to build a house. Once the foundation is laid, it will be impossible to change it in the future. Liu Maolin thought that Mei Xiang might have to live in this house for the rest of his life.

I would rather go to the trouble, and hope that my daughter will live in a more secure future.

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow!"

After the sun set, it got dark very quickly. In a few words, the sky had already turned dark. Lin Maolin greeted everyone that it was time to start work tomorrow, and everyone dispersed with shovels on their shoulders.

The foundation was dug quite quickly. Six helpers, together with Lin Maolin and Liu Yan, completed the digging in five days.

Except for eating at the old house at noon on the first day, the next few days were all cooked at home, and Liu Yu and others brought them over.

The coolness of the day has gone away, but it is actually a bit warm. Several people are doing physical work. At noon, in addition to steamed buns and meat dishes, a pot of rice soup is cooked and brought together to quench people's thirst.

In the past few days, Liu Yu and Changsheng Liu Meixiang came together to deliver lunch. Every time they passed Li Dongsheng's house, the door was always locked.

Li Dongsheng went to the mountains for about ten days, not to mention that Liu Yu knew about his past relationship with Liu Meixiang, but just because of their past friendship, Liu Yu could not help but feel worried.

Lunch was delivered that day, and while the helpers were taking a break after eating, Tietou pushed open the courtyard door and dumped out the dirty straw that came out of the bamboo rat cage.

"Tietou, have you eaten?"

Liu Yu originally wanted to ask Widow Zhou, but Widow Zhou was very particular about the number of people in front of the widow's door. Except for the first day of the week, the house was closed and there was no one at all.

Not only could he not be seen, but Tietou Xiuxiu was also kept at home, unable to see him easily.

"My mother and Xiuxiu are doing it right now! When I finish collecting these straws, we should be able to eat them!"

As Tietou said this, he went back to the house and dumped all the straw on the manure dustpan into the manure pit before he could catch his breath.

"Tietou, why hasn't your second uncle come back yet?"

Liu Yu happened to be standing by the ditch looking at the water. When she saw Tietou approaching, she hurriedly took a few steps closer. She looked up and saw Liu Maolin and Xu Liang discussing where to lay the foundation first, and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either. When my second uncle left, he only said that it would take seven or eight days to come out of the mountains, and it would take ten and a half months to come out of the mountains!"

After Tietou finished speaking, he began to count the days on his fingers when Li Dongsheng would enter the mountain. After mumbling for a while, he looked up at Liu Yu and said, "Today is exactly ten days. I think in five more days at most, my second uncle will be able to leave." The mountains are coming out!”
