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

After having enough wine and food, Liu Yu set up a table under the jujube tree in the courtyard, served tea again, and let Li Dongsheng enjoy the cool breeze in the courtyard!

"Brother Dongsheng, do you have any plans to go to the county in the near future?"

After everyone sat down, Liu Yu went out again to look at the cow tied to the locust tree at the door. Seeing that Goudan had pulled a bamboo basket of salad seedlings and fed it at some point, she went back relieved.

"Ayu has something to do, but it doesn't matter if you say something!"

Li Dongsheng pondered for a few breaths and said: "My family is about to build a new house, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get away. I originally wanted to go to the escort agency and quit my job as an escort! I thought I would take your eldest sister and Xiaoxue to visit the county town together!"

When Liu Yu heard that Li Dongsheng was going to the county town soon, she nodded hurriedly and said: "The bamboo rats I raised have grown a lot, and I want to sell a batch of male rats. I am not familiar with the owner of the restaurant, so I want to invite him." Brother Dongsheng, please help me pull the strings!"

With that said, he invited Li Dongsheng to the woodshed to see his bamboo rats!

Although everyone in the family knew that Liu Yu raised bamboo rats, they didn't care much because they were the same species as rats, and no one would go out of their way to see them. Now they heard that the bamboo rats raised by Liu Yu could be exchanged for money. Great surprise.

As long as some people in the village have chickens, ducks and fish to eat, no one would think of digging up bamboo rats. If something with the word "rat" in it is on it, it is meat, and some people are a little uncomfortable with it!

Even the bamboo rats caught unexpectedly went into the belly of the family, and no one thought about changing them for money!

Only Liu Shan, who had sold bamboo rats with Li Dongsheng a few years ago, knew that bamboo rats were not only very popular, but also not cheap!

At this time, everyone entered the firewood house and saw that the firewood house had changed greatly. The bamboo cages were erected one by one. They were shivering in a ball, looking so pitiful!

"Go, go! Just look at Dongsheng, that's too timid! You can scare one or two to death with just a blink of an eye!"

Seeing the bamboo rat in the bamboo cage helpless, Nian felt so distressed that she couldn't help but start shouting and chasing people away!

Qi Chunhua and the others were helpless, but they also retreated!

When Li Dongsheng came out, he gathered around him curiously, asking about the bamboo rat's situation!

When I heard that it could be sold for fifteen or eighteen cents per pound, everyone was stunned!

Li Dongsheng was attentive and looked worried when he saw Liu Yu and Nian being young. He also heard Qi Chunhua and Xu Hong asking about how to raise bamboo rats!

He just denied that he didn't know, saying that he had never raised one, and had only caught a few in the bamboo forest in the past!

This is not a lie. Because Li Dongsheng has caught a lot of bamboo rats, he only knows some of the living habits of bamboo rats. If they have been bred on a large scale for such a long time, they have not been cultivated on a large scale!

Liu Yu and Chang Sheng took care of the bamboo rats in the house. The two of them were being asked questions at the moment. Liu Yu was the only one. They were all members of his family, and his explanations were quite detailed.

Changsheng added on the side, he was more attentive than Liu Yu, and he was even more meticulous in daily care. Now he was talking clearly and convincingly!

But this is too much trouble!

Qi Chunhua and Xu Hong frowned when they heard this. This little thing likes wetness and darkness. For them, they have to live in a separate room. They are timid and have to be carefully monitored when moving.

Several people had just entered the woodshed. Liu Yu was very healthy, but the smell was not strong. It was obvious that cleaning the excrement was not easy!

It’s another thing to say if you can raise it to death, but after you raise it, you still have to find a market. Although it costs fifteen or eight cents per catty, it’s not as easy as raising chickens and ducks!

Large roosters in good condition can be sold for twelve cents per catty, and hens that are 2 or 3 years old are also priced at the same price. The hens can also be sold for eggs, so they are much easier to take care of!

A chicken can lay eggs that can be sold for money after being raised for a few months. This rat has two or three babies at a time, and they need to be fed and raised before they can be exchanged for money!

It will take at least six months to come and go. No matter how you look at it, it is worse than raising a chicken!

After the two of them put it all together, they were no longer interested!

"Those mice are still a little small. They should be almost ready when they reach the ninth level!"

Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua heard that Li Dongsheng actually said that those bamboo rats would have to be raised for another month before they could be sold, and their beloved concubine had no intention of raising bamboo rats.

Liu Yu didn't care what they thought. After making an appointment with Li Dongsheng to go to the county town, she remembered what Li Dongsheng had just said about building a new house and hurriedly asked what happened!

Only then did Xu Hong and the others suddenly realize that they had just been thinking about bamboo rats and had forgotten what they were saying. When they heard this, they thought that this man was going to renovate Liu Meixiang's new house!

"I happen to have some money from selling fox skins. You all have seen my house. The back gable is almost falling down. I took advantage of the fact that I'm not busy at the moment and it's easy to hire people, so I just rebuilt it!"

"You little people can't even save two cents of money in your hands, so if you save it to buy land, you won't have to live in a house, and you can live in Meixiang first!"

Qi Chunhua was a little nervous, and she disagreed when she heard this. The land belongs to you forever, and you can't build a house at the moment. You can save money in the future and just flip the house. Anyway, the homestead can't be run away, so what's the hurry!

"Ahem!..." Nian said with a soft voice: "What kind of building should we make and how big should we build it? We were also careless at that time. Now only the east room of Meixiang's new house can be lived in, and the west room has been used as a kitchen room. , but it’s not easy to live in!”

When she said this, everyone understood that Xiaoxue was getting bigger and bigger day by day. Not to mention that Dongsheng was just a stepfather, he was also his biological father, so it was not convenient for him to live in the same place!

In this case, it is hard for everyone to persuade, they can only help with ideas!

"My family's homestead can be expanded to the west by two more houses. I want to build five brick houses, and I just have enough money!"

Ah! Five brick houses!

Everyone was a little surprised. Five brick houses could not be purchased without sixty taels of silver. For a moment, everyone looked at Li Dongsheng and became even more satisfied!

Chen Jinmei and Zhao Tianyu, who were sitting outside the crowd, looked at Liu Meixiang with faint envy!

"Isn't it too big?"

Including Xiaoxue, there are only three of them. How can they live in five rooms? This is too impressive, Nian said with a frown!

"It's not big, one main room, two rooms for people to live in, and the remaining two rooms are for food and farming tools. The east and west are separated, so the people can live in a more comfortable and spacious place!"

Nowadays, people live in crowded places. Most of the people live in the kang room, but there is not much space left in the house!

It's not a family matter, and talking too much will be annoying. After all, building a house is a happy event, and it is a brick house. Nian only said that Liu Fan and others would go to help when the time comes, and no more words!

In the end, he just said: "In this case, I will eat for you and take care of Xiaoxue for a while. After your new house is built, I will take her back!"

After hearing this, Xiaoxue felt a little aggrieved knowing that she couldn't be with her mother!

Liu Meixiang doesn’t want to either!

"It doesn't matter. We will demolish my old house and move to Meixiang's new house for the time being. I will set up a bed to sleep in the kitchen and let her mother sleep in the east room!"

Li Dongsheng couldn't bear it when he saw Xiaoxue pursed her lips in displeasure, and said hurriedly.

Liu Meixiang also hugged Xiaoxue and coaxed her, saying she would not leave her behind!

"Building a house is a big deal, and Xiaoxue can't help if she stays there. It's better to live with us first. This child may have been with me for a long time, and I don't want to let her go, so let her stay with my old lady again!"

After that, he called Xiaoxue again, touched her bun, and said: "We are also busy at home, your uncle and uncle Changsheng are still busy with things in the fields, and you are gone, who will help us feed the bamboo rats!" "

After hearing this, Xiaoxue struggled for a few breaths, then thought that her uncle had to raise cows, feed pigs, and tend crops, and he was indeed very busy, so he nodded in agreement!

Nian breathed a sigh of relief, touched Xiaoxue's hair lovingly, and promised to sell the bamboo rat to give her new clothes. Xiaoxue was indeed even happier after hearing this!

Seeing Liu Meixiang, she wanted to say something else, but Nianshi distracted her by saying something else!

Nian still said that they were newly married, and she didn't want them to sleep separately until their relationship was smooth!

He glanced at Liu Meixiang's belly with a vague look, and in his heart he only hoped that Liu Meixiang would be happy.

Thinking that Liu Meixiang had only had Xiaoxue as her daughter for many years, she also knew that this was probably her own delusion!

Looking at Li Dongsheng who is laughing and chatting with everyone and still paying attention to Mei Xiang, I feel very relieved!

I thought it would be better to tell Li Dongsheng quietly that when I go to the county town, I will also visit a doctor who is good at this and give Mei Xiang a good diagnosis!

In these years, the Wu family only said that Mei Xiang was in bad health and could not have children, but they never saw a doctor seriously!
