Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

The next morning, when the sky was still gray and not bright, there was movement in the kitchen of the Li family's courtyard.

Li Changle looked inside the bed. Li Shixi had already gotten up. In the kitchen, a ladle was used to scoop water, and the crackling sound of firewood could be heard intermittently.

She lay in the blanket, her head tilted back and her eyes staring blankly at the thatched roof for a while, then resigned herself to lifting the blanket, putting on a thin cotton dress, and picking up a pair of cashmere socks from the same order as the thermal underwear and putting them on her feet.

She moved her toes and thought of the system again. She opened the system mall and searched for "children's cashmere socks". After a pause, she added the words "thick mid-tube" and clicked on the search. A sea of ​​thickened children's socks appeared below.

"Ah, 20 contribution points for three pairs of socks, that's terrible. System, are you sure one contribution point is only worth one dollar?"

She didn't even click on the link for a pair of socks costing a dozen bucks.

System: "OK."

Forget it, buy it first and then talk about it.

Li Changle used 20 contribution points to place an order for 3 pairs of children's socks, and received the goods immediately after payment. The logistics speed was very fast, as if she was afraid that she would regret it the next second.

Yu'er was still sleeping soundly in the quilt. Li Changle got out of bed quietly and went to the kitchen. As expected, he saw Li Shixi squatting by the stove, making a fire.

She didn't know how to describe her feelings, so she just handed the socks in her hand to the child, "Put on the socks. Auntie and Aunt Guihua are going to the county today. Can you and Yu'er go to Auntie's house and stay with Haopo? Bring food with you."

Li Shixi lowered his head and fiddled with the socks in his hands. Such fine stitching and thick lining were something that even his mother's skillful hands could not make.

"What are you going to do in the county?"

Li Changle: "Take the eggs and exchange them for something. We don't have anything in this room."

Li Shixi understood, "Then aunt, remember to go to Huichun Hall to find a doctor to check you again."

She was touched by the child's thoughtfulness and although she had no intention of going to Huichun Hall this time, she still agreed.

She scooped some hot water from the pot into the wooden bucket to use for washing later.

I went to the wooden cabinet in the main house and got some buckwheat noodles. For breakfast, I made buckwheat noodle dumpling soup and beat three eggs. I added salt to the dumpling soup today, so it tasted much better and not bland.

Li Shixi put on his socks and cloth shoes, felt the warmth under his feet, and asked in surprise:

"Aunt, these socks are really warm. Do you have any for fish?"

"Yes, we have them all! Auntie has them too! Wear them with confidence!"

"Hmm." He held it in and didn't ask.

Li Changle stole a glance at the child and couldn't help but laugh, so she changed the subject, "Wake up Yu'er later, and after breakfast, your aunt will take you to your good in-laws' house."

Li Shixi frowned and leaned to look at the door of the main house, thinking about the big wooden cabinet. After hesitating for a long time, he finally expressed his concerns, "Aunt, how about Yu'er and I just stay at home? We won't run around or play with fire. We won't open the door for outsiders who knock. We'll just stay in the house. Our cabinet...is not locked."

After hearing this, Li Changle also felt that the child was thoughtful. Indeed, there were quite a few things in the cabinet. Although the child had only seen rice, flour and eggs, they were not too few.

"Just lock the door to the main house when you go out." There was only one lock in the house, which was used to lock the door to the main house. The courtyard door was usually bolted from the inside.

Li Shixi: "But..." He was still worried. The child had been deeply hurt by hunger and was very worried about the food in the wooden cabinet.

Li Changle comforted him, "Who doesn't know that our family is very poor? The house is so empty that thieves don't even bother to think about it. Don't worry. Aunt will go to the county tomorrow to find the lock and bring it back."

Li Shixi was about to say something when Li Changle called him to the woodshed to get some firewood.

She had prepared breakfast and kept it covered in the pot.

At this moment, Guihua was already calling people outside the courtyard gate.

Li Changle thought that Yu'er had not woken up yet, and if he woke up and didn't see her, he would cry.

Li Shixi put the firewood away and went to open the door.

Guihua stood outside the door, rubbing her hands and breathing heavily. "Shixi got up really early." She looked at Li Changle. "Shitou's grandmother said that it's not even daybreak yet, so Yu'er must not be awake yet. She told me to tell you that she will bring Shitou over here later. After you have breakfast, come to the village entrance to meet us. Let Shixi bolt the gate first."

Li Changle felt that Haopo was a very considerate old lady. Shixi was actually afraid that there would be thieves in the house.

Guihua waited for Li Changle to nod and then left in a hurry, unable to be kept.

After washing up, Li Changle served Li Shixi some dumpling soup and told him not to forget Shitou and Haopo's portions when he served them to Yu'er later.

Li Changle took a few bites and left some in the pot.

Li Shixi was happy to give the food to Shitou Haopo. He said he understood and that he would keep an eye on the cabinet and wait for his aunt to come back.

Li Changle kept praising him for being sensible, without any forced praise.

When she walked out of the yard, she was carrying a bamboo basket with 30 eggs in it.

She is going to the county to sell eggs!

After going around the small hill and passing through a row of small bamboo forests that act like partitions, the scenery of Lushui Village comes into view.

Most of the houses in the village are surrounded by wooden fences or bamboo fences, with pig pens, chicken coops, cow sheds, or neatly maintained vegetable plots in front of and behind the houses.

But now there is only white snow under our feet, and I am afraid there will be few vegetables this winter.

Someone shovels the snow on the main road in the village every day, so the snow is thinner than elsewhere.

At this time, most people were asleep. Li Changle walked through the village until he saw Haopo's sons and Guihua at the entrance of the village, but he did not meet any other people in the village.

Guihua saw that she was walking in small steps and the ground was uneven, so she helped her up and said, "Actually, you don't have to hurry. It's just that you are used to getting up early on weekdays. I wanted to go around early to see if there are any odd jobs to do. But now you are tired and have to get up early."

"I'm not that delicate. Even Shixi came here earlier than me. Life is more important. My brothers have been waiting for a long time. Let's go now."

Osmanthus: Isn’t it just a delicate little flower?

Wang Dahu and his brothers waved their hands, "It's okay, it's okay, Madam Li and my sister-in-law can just follow behind us. We're walking fast, so it's okay if you walk slower. It's good that we can see you two when we turn around."

Li Changle nodded in agreement, and he and Guihua walked behind the others.

Guihua saw her carrying a bamboo basket covered with a piece of coarse cloth and asked curiously. Li Changle lifted a corner of the basket to show her.

"I can't eat all the eggs that the wolves left behind yesterday. I'll see if I can exchange them for something else in the county."

"Speaking of eggs, sister-in-law has to thank you. Shitou from our family finally had something to eat last night. Alas, that unfortunate child, he is so picky in this year!"

Guihua's eyes were filled with envy. "You deserve it. When the wolves came down from the Daqing Mountain, the first house they saw was yours, so they came looking for you right away."

Li Changle politely shook her head and smiled. She couldn't say for sure. If the wolves had come to rob yesterday, the first ones to be killed would have been her family of three.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The orders that are waiting to be received in her system and that she placed with her own money now need to be withdrawn using contribution points.

Besides, she also bought the eggs with her own money.

Li Changle was extremely melancholy.

"Sister Guihua in front, Madam Li, wait for me!"

As they were about to leave the village, a voice came up from behind.
