Parents are busy farming

At this moment, Wang Tinghe's eyes felt blurry. She said nothing, but held Ye Yongwang's hand tightly.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yongwang asked concerned.

Although he was happy that Zhang Gaoyi and others returned safely, he did not ignore his wife's emotions.

He discovered it when Wang Tinghe frowned.

Wang Tinghe quickly shook his head in denial and said, "It's okay, I just haven't slept well these days and I feel a little tired."

When Ye Yongwang heard this, he immediately helped her back to rest.

But he was stopped by Wang Tinghe.

Said: "When the children get ashore and meet each other, we will go back together. So as not to worry the children."

Ye Yongwang looked at the ship that was about to land and reluctantly agreed.

When the people on the ship landed again, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Some people hugged their family members and cried bitterly.

Zhang Gaoyi came to Ye Yongwang and his wife and said apologetically: "I made my uncle and aunt worry!"

Ye Yongwang couldn't put on airs anymore and said, "Just come back!"

He supported his wife and turned around to leave.

The two brothers punched each other, hugged each other, and followed Ye Yongwang back home.

After returning to the rented house, a few people remembered that their donkeys and horses were still in someone else's barn!

When I opened the barn, I saw that they were all well inside, with their bellies round.

It turned out that the host family knew that two of them were out at sea, understood them, and was worried that they would forget to feed the animals. They helped feed the animals in the heavy rain every day, and also gave them warm water.

It can be said that animals are living better than people these days.

When Ye Yongwang saw this, he quickly took out another one tael of silver and gave it to the master.

Then he spent another ten taels of silver to buy a big fish on the fishing boat.

Start setting off and return home.

The big fish was placed in a large wooden barrel with some sea water in it.

I was afraid that the fish would die, so I sold them while walking.

Lao Li's house is going to be built today. Last night, a straw shed was built in the open space next to his house.

Before dawn in the morning, the couple packed their belongings into the thatched shed.

After the children woke up and had their last meal in this thatched house, they started to take action.

They cannot wait until everyone else is here before starting. They can save some time by doing it themselves.

The sky was getting brighter, and people in twos and threes began to walk this way.

"Hey! Are you busy with your own work first?" A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old asked.

"Yes! I couldn't sleep, so I got up early. I have nothing to do, so I'll do what I can do first!" Lao Li didn't look down on him because of his young age, and answered seriously.

Lao Li didn't know these people, they should be from the engineering team.

"Let's not be idle, let's take action too!" The young man rolled up his sleeves and called on several people to join in the action.

Seeing that there were too many people, Lao Li said to his wife and daughter, "Go and boil some water! We are here!"

After hearing this, the two people put down their things and went to boil water.

Before leaving, Lao Li's daughter glanced at the young man who had just spoken. By coincidence, the man was also looking at her.

Her face suddenly turned red, she didn't dare to look at him anymore, she quickly lowered her head and left.

"Hey! What are you looking at! Everyone has left, are you attracted to their girl?" A person next to him bumped into the young man and asked teasingly.

"Don't talk nonsense. A girl's reputation is most important, so don't make fun of her casually!" the young man said to his companions solemnly.

His companion looked at him as if he were a stranger.

"If you really fall in love with this girl, ask your father and Uncle Li to mention it. Based on your family's current conditions, his family should agree!" His companion restrained his emotions and gave him some advice.

This time he said nothing, thinking about the possibility.

Then he looked at the girl again and put her down, and pursed her lips.

I feel more energetic when I start working.

After waiting for a while, more people came, including Li Laosi.

Lao Li took Li Laosi to look at the prepared bricks and tiles, listened to his suggestions, and then let it go.

Instead, he came to the thatched shed and prepared lunch for more than 20 people with his wife.

I cut some bacon and went to the butcher's house to buy two kilograms of meat. There are also some green vegetables.

Portions are generous.

Then he mixed the white flour and black flour given by Ye Zifen together and made a large pot of steamed buns.

The half-grown young man will eat his father to death. He is a strong worker and his appetite can be imagined.

By lunch time, they were already painting the foundation.

It has to be lamented that one has to be a professional to work efficiently.

Everyone was sitting on the floor with a bowl of food and a steamed bun in their hands. After eating the steamed buns, he went to get it from the dustpan next to him.

"I didn't expect there was meat in it. It seems that this family's life is pretty good. Why did they still live in a thatched house before!" someone gossiped.

Li Laosi was nearby. He didn't want everyone to misunderstand Lao Li, so he briefly told everyone about Lao Li.

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

"My parents are too partial. We still have to stand up on our own. Otherwise, our lives may not be better than his family's, but his family's life has been a blessing after all." One person concluded.

The young man's friend was talking to him secretly again: "You have a good vision! You can build a house in half a year. It seems that the life of this family will not be too bad in the future!"

The young man was just eating the food from the bowl. What he cared about was not how their family life was now. What he cared about was what the fourth uncle said just now. During the coldest time last year, they lived in the thatched house that they demolished in the morning. .

How cold and desperate it was.

He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with distress.

After eating, he took the bowl and went to the thatched hut. He happened to see the person he was thinking about walking towards them carrying a bucket of warm water.

He quickly took two steps, took the bucket from her hand, and handed the washed bowl to the girl.

The girl looked up at him again, her face turned red again, she said "Thank you!" and ran back to the hut quickly.

Just when everyone was finishing their meal and taking a rest, two old people came from a distance. They were none other than Lao Li's parents.

As Mr. Li approached, Mr. Li stood up warily.

He didn't believe that his parents were here to help.

He looked at them with a cold face and said nothing.

Old man Li was very angry when he saw his second son's indifferent eyes.

Thinking about what the eldest son said yesterday, I became even more convinced that the second son was unfilial, cold-blooded, and wanted to get rid of them as they got older.

So he said: "You can't build a house on the foundation of my house. If you want to build a house, you have to spend money to buy the foundation. The foundation under your feet now belongs to my house."

The foundations in Lijiacun are divided according to the number of boys in the family. If there is one son, there will be one foundation, if there are two sons, there will be two foundations, and so on.

Of course, the foundation can be applied for after the boy is born. If the child dies before he is raised, the foundation will be taken back.

The foundation that Old Man Li mentioned was applied for when he was born.
