Time was tight and all three of them were busy.

Probably because Zhao Hui stayed there and didn't leave, Mao Mingzhu asked specifically.

Mao Xiaosui put the grass pulled by Li Ruyi and Li Ankang into a basket, and then said calmly, "I have some work at home and I need his help."

"Why don't you just ask your uncle and the others? They are idle." Mao Mingzhu kept staring at her, as if she wanted to know what Mao Xiaosui was thinking.

"Uncle, aren't they on the mountain?" Mao Xiaosui said, "He has nowhere to go anyway. Li Yunshan liked him, so he kept him to do some work."

Mao Mingzhu didn't say anything, and after a while she asked again, "Where did they go last time??"

"I went to Su County to do business." There was nothing to hide about this matter, and Mao Xiaosui had no intention of hiding it.

"Selling rabbit skins?"

She nodded, "Zhao Hui helped us find a business, and he and Li Yunshan went on a trip."

"Is it done?"

"It's done." She sighed. "Those people think that they are country people who deliberately bully them. The price is very low. Fortunately, they don't have many leathers."

"How much did you sell for?" Mao Mingzhu asked.

Mao Xiaosui was a little unhappy and casually replied, "Not much."

Li Ruyi pinched all the small flowers growing on the ground and showed Mao Xiaosui a handful.

Mao Xiaosui encouraged her, "Just pull it out. When the time comes, find a jar and put it on the table to keep a close eye on."

Li Ruyi happily agreed and started looking for flowers all over the ground.

Mao Xiaosui stared at her and suddenly remembered that he wanted to plant flowers in the yard and asked Li Yunshan to buy some seeds.

She didn't know when Mao Mingzhu left.

Although he noticed that she was unhappy, Mao Xiaosui did not intend to coax her.

The two of them were still busy when they got home after haying. Mao Xiaosui took two rabbits to cook.

After stewing the rabbit rice, soak the other meat in salt and hang it in the yard to dry.

Li Ruyi was still tinkering with the flowers she had pulled.

Mao Xiaosui went into the house and took out the jar of vegetable seeds. He put some soil in it and buried the roots of the flowers. He poured some water and put it on the shelf. It really looked good and the walls were not that gray. Pounced.

While the rice was still simmering, she started to clean up the rabbit skin.

It was easier to brush the rabbit skin soaked in plant ash. After brushing it once, Li Yunshan and the two rested.

After washing their hands and eating, the two continued to kill.

Mao Xiaosui took the baby to take a nap for a while, and continued to process the rabbit skin in the afternoon.

During the day, they killed and washed them, and at night, they lit oil lamps to pound and knead the dried rabbit skins.

The hard work is not done, and the grinding day after day is quite annoying.

_

At the end of April, the weather turned cloudy after dinner, and when Mao Xiaosui went out to pour some swill, it started raining heavily.

Thunder rumbled.

Li Yunshan beat the rabbit skin and said, "The last time it rained, it was time to raise the manure."

"Is that still a big deal?"

"Let's wait for tomorrow." Li Yunshan said, "Let the wheat be sown first. If the beans are not sowed, it will be fine."

The thunderstorm passed quickly and soon turned into moderate rain. It was probably because rainy days were perfect for sleeping. After being busy for a while, the three of them all started to yawn.

Mao Xiaosui threw the leather into the sack, stood up and said, "Get some rest, I'm too sleepy."

Li Yunshan looked at Zhao Hui and said, "Go to sleep."

Zhao Hui nodded and left.

They didn't take away the rabbit skins on the ground. Mao Xiaosui went to bring a basin of water and came back, washed up and got on the kang.

The rain didn't stop in the morning, so Li Yunshan's plan to spread manure had to wait until the weather cleared.

The two went to the backyard to kill rabbits as usual, and Mao Xiaosui began to clean up the rabbit skins soaked last night.

Li Ruyi carried the jar with flowers outside to soak in the rain, while Li Ankang played with the nine-ring chain again.

Thinking of Li Yunshan's future arrangements for him, Mao Xiaosui asked casually, "Do you want to go to school?"

Li Ankang shook his head decisively, "I don't want to go."

"Why don't you want to study and become an official?"

Li Ankang still shook his head, "No."

"It's okay if you don't study." Mao Xiaosui laughed, "It's okay if you don't become an official."

Li Ankang looked at her.

Mao Xiaosui said, "You still need to read some books. At least you have to be able to read. You can't be illiterate like your father and I. Otherwise, you won't even know if you are cheated in business in the future."

Li Ankang approached with Jiulianhuan in his arms and asked, "Do you want to learn calligraphy, Mom?"

"Think about it." Mao Xiaosui said, "I don't want to be named on the gold medal list and become an official and get rich, but I want to not be illiterate and not suffer the hardships of illiteracy."

Li Ankang nodded, "Then I will learn too."

Mao Xiaosui laughed, "Father and mother will send you to school after you settle down."

"I want to go too." Li Ruyi came in holding the jar.

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "You can't go. I will come back and teach you when Ankang learns."

Li Ankang nodded and said to Li Ruyi as if to promise, "I will teach you in the future."

Mao Xiaosui thought that he and Li Yunshan would have to learn a few when they had time in the future, so that they would be useful in business.

The rain didn't stop until the evening. The next morning, after the sun came out for a while, Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui left with their excrement.

Mao Xiaosui changed the two children's new clothes and took them to dig grass and pick soft vegetables.

There were a lot of women picking up soft-skinned vegetables today, and as soon as she passed by, they all started asking questions.

"Is Yunshan's cousin getting married?" It was Su Qiu who asked. "

Mao Xiaosui glanced at her and replied a little irritably, "I'm not married. Do you want to tell me?"

Yang Cui said at this time, "He was sent out and he didn't even have a house or land. If a girl marries him, she will starve to death."

Su Qiu disagreed, "With Li Yunshan, what are you afraid of? He is so good to Zhao Hui, so he must help."

Mao Xiaosui sneered, "What you said is quite strange. Li Yunshan is just his cousin and not his father. Why does he marry his mother-in-law Li Yunshan to help..."

"I thought you had a good relationship." Su Qiu said angrily.

Mao Xiaosui was no longer in a hurry. He turned to face her and said, "You are old enough, so don't worry so much."

"If you don't have time to worry about other people's housework, you should hurry up and pick up some soft-skinned vegetables to fill your stomach."

"Hey." Su Qiu yelled, "Your family will look down on us now that they are rich, right?"

"I don't think so, but you are obviously very self-aware and know that you are not that lucky." Mao Xiaosui asked her, "People who can get rich in this world have a characteristic, do you know what it is?"

Everyone stopped to look at her, and Li Ruyi asked, "What, mother?"

Mao Xiaosui chuckled and replied, "You have a good mind."

As soon as this was said, everyone else laughed. Su Qiu became quite angry, stopped picking up the soft-skinned vegetables, and began to curse indiscriminately.

Mao Xiaosui said leisurely, "If you don't reason with fools, you are such a mean-spirited person. You should take a detour when the God of Wealth comes."

Speaking of the God of Wealth, Su Qiu suddenly shut up.

Mao Xiaosui laughed when he saw it, "Aunts, have you heard this sentence?"

"What are you talking about?" Li Lianxin also asked curiously.

"Do good and accumulate virtue."

"Doing good deeds and accumulating merits, and talking virtuously are also virtuous. It is said that disaster comes from the mouth, and blessings will naturally escape from the mouth."

Li Lianxin glanced at her face twice more, then nodded, "Rich people seem to really pay attention to this."

"I don't see you being too polite." Su Qiu muttered softly.

Mao Xiaosui glanced at her sideways, "When did I take the initiative to cause trouble for others? Naturally, I won't be angry if others want to cause trouble for me."

As soon as these words came out, the others fell silent. It was not until noon when Zhang Zhi was walking home that he asked her in a low voice, "Are you talking nonsense?"

"No." Mao Xiaosui said seriously, "Which one do you think is more likely to make a fortune, a person who is prone to evil or a person who is prone to be good?"

"Let's not talk about getting rich. If you have money in the future and both of them need your help, which one would you rather help?"

"You must not be the one who helps evil." Li Lianxin said without hesitation.

"Normal people will make this choice." Mao Xiaosui shrugged, "This is what the world often calls good deeds leading to good relationships."

"Many people may not be rich in life, but as long as they have a noble person in their life, their life will be good, and this noble person is the good relationship you have formed..."

Several people couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false, but they believed her somewhat just by looking at her plausibly.

Su Qiu sneered in a low voice, "He's a liar."

Mao Xiaosui didn't explain, but she was sure of one thing. If she gets really prosperous in the future, she would definitely not help someone she hates.
