The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family - #453 - Chapter 453: keep her busy

  What the villagers are most concerned about right now is the ownership of the brought back cattle and sheep.

   Topics can’t get around these.

  Li Xuemei followed Shun down and said that she wanted those women and children to help take care of the cattle and sheep for a while.

Mrs. Luo San agreed very much: “My two sisters-in-law and I are still worried. You know what’s going on in our family. It’s really hard to find a place for them if we want to divide the cattle and sheep. It would be great if we can mix them together. .”

  The Luo family has a large population, and Luo Er’s father-in-law also moved in, so the house is crowded. The Luo family did not build another house like the Hu family, but built two additional rooms in the backyard.

  Luo San’s mobile meat stall has a good business, so naturally he has to use his knife every now and then to mark out a special place in the yard, plus a vegetable garden, a shed for stacking firewood, and a chicken coop… There are not many places to go down.

“Your second brother Yan may go to the quarry after a while, ask Luo San to go with him, bring back some stone slabs, spread them on the ground, and then use plaster to find joints, which will save a lot of trouble in the future ” said Li Xuemei.

  Miss Luo San was very grateful, “Sister-in-law, thank you for thinking about it.”

   “You’re being polite, I’m not an outsider.”

   “Then… I won’t be polite with my sister-in-law. When will Brother Yan come over and call us?”

Luo San slaughtered pigs and sheep in the courtyard. There used to be a plastered place where it was easier to flush and clean. When Luo Erzhang’s family came, two rooms were built to occupy that place, so Luo San had to change it. I bought a piece of land, and the land is land, so I wasted water, so I had to run twice to the river.

  There are not many materials left for making plaster in the village, and they don’t want to touch the finished cement bricks, so they just make do with it.

  Li Xuemei said: “What are you and Luo San planning? The house is not in a hurry, and the homestead is settled first. Now that it is settled, you can choose a place.”

  Since Uncle Hu planned to divide the house between his two sons, many old people in the village have been moved. Many of the homesteads that were drawn at the beginning have already gone.

  ”Sister-in-law will tell you the truth, we are optimistic about the place.” Mrs. Luo San blushed slightly, “The head of the house said to find a place close to the water, so that I would save me the trouble of carrying water…”

   “Is there any open space near the river?” Li Xuemei remembered that there were many open spaces in the west and north of the village.

“Father said that we can probably draw a piece of land by relying on the reed beach, but I don’t know if the water will rise there in the future. I am a little worried. I want to take a good look at it after the snow melts. Uncle Kang said let us use wood. Support the house, said that there is such a house in the south, and even drew it for us to see, it looks weird, we actually don’t want to move out, but the second brother and the second sister-in-law said that we want to move, it doesn’t seem good if we don’t move…”

  Li Xuemei nodded knowingly: “Then wait a minute, speaking of Mr. Kang, he is really capable. I see that the children in the village have learned a lot from him for a few days.

Xiaoer’s father said that if he wanted to take a few boys to Huju, he didn’t have to do anything, just follow Xiaoer’s father, her uncle and Heng’er. They call it a book boy, they change every ten days, and they take turns passing by. , We are also thinking, let the children in our village go out to see the world, the money is not too much, we will take care of the food and lodging…”

  …

  As soon as Li Xuemei left, Mrs. Luo San hurried out, not even closing the courtyard door in time.

   Walk quickly to the wasteland at the north end in one breath.

   “Dad! Dad! I have something to tell you.”

  Village Chief Luo was surprised to see her coming, took a few steps closer, and asked loudly, “What’s the matter?”

  Miss Luo San glanced around and took two steps back.

   Village Chief Luo knew that there was something wrong here and it was not good to be an outsider, so he walked up to him.

“Father, the second sister-in-law Yan came to the house just now, and said that the second brother Yan wanted to find some book boys to take to Huju, live in the government office, eat and drink at his house, and pay back the wages!” Mrs. Luo San spoke a little too fast because of her excitement. quick.

  Hearing this, Village Chief Luo hurriedly said, “Slow down and say it again.”

   Mrs. Luo San repeated it again.

  Village Chief Luo lowered his voice and said: “Is this a matter of wages and no wages? We would rather not have money and bring our own rations. As long as we can go with them, we can live in a shack! This is a great thing for children to learn!”

   “That’s right!” Mrs. Luo San hurriedly said: “Second Sister-in-law Yan also said the same thing, take the children out to see the world, and come back in ten days, and then change people and go again, so that all the children in the village will be on their turn.”

   Village Chief Luo felt a little disappointed.

  Oh, it turned out that they were not interested in some irons from his family.

  But it would be a good thing if the children in the village could go out for a walk.

   “What else did the Yan family say?” Village Chief Luo asked.

“I also said that this matter has not been settled yet, so Brother Yan said this at home. By the way, Sister-in-law Yan also said that since she is going to be a book boy, not to mention being able to write, she should at least know a few more words, Dad, Look at the little ones in our family, okay?”

   Village Chief Luo’s eyebrows tightened and then loosened.

  My five grandsons are only three-irons, and the other few, Lao Kangtou, have never said anything, that is, they are not good at learning…

   Fortunately, Xiaoer’s mother was exposed to the wind in advance, and when she returned, she would press them to study hard.

  The children in the village take turns, and they are still book boys. Don’t ask if one can’t write, or if two don’t know each other, it’s no shame to throw them to Huju City.

   No, you have to learn everything.

  By the way, the school, the school has to be built quickly.

  Miss Luo San felt that this was a good thing, and she was very happy. Seeing her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, she told her not to talk about the book boy for the time being, and she didn’t let gossip gossip at all.

   While Yan Laoer and Yan Yu were still sleeping hahaha, word spread in Xiao’an Village.

  Those women from outside will take care of the cattle and sheep, they can’t be let go, they have to be kept…

Mrs. Cui said to everyone that we don’t know how to raise cattle and sheep in Beirong. If I want to learn from others, how can I let them live in tents. It happens that the village is going to build a school. Hurry up. The children have a place to study during the day and don’t need to go to it Running around outside, those ladies live in at night first, why is it better than a tent, it is also a decent house, isn’t it.

  Although the ladies of the Luo family can’t say that Xiaoer’s mother came here to take care of his family, they must fully support the construction of the school.

  One woman is the relative of the Yan family, and the three women are the daughters-in-law of the village head. The four women work together and have great influence.

   Waiting for Yan Er Er to rub his eyes and get up to eat lunch, he heard someone talking in the courtyard. He was too lazy to go to the ground. After waiting for a while, the daughter-in-law entered the room and asked, “Who is here?”

   “It’s a big iron.”

   “His master sent him to ask cattle and sheep? In such a hurry?”

  Li Xuemei shook her head: “No, I came to borrow a car. In the afternoon, I want to go to the brick factory to pull bricks to build the school.”

  Yan Er’s chopsticks stopped in mid-air, turned his head, his eyes were full of surprise: “In such a hurry? Just came back and got up without taking a rest?”

“I can’t wait. If you didn’t go to the other side of the mountain, this school would have been built long ago.” Li Xuemei said with a half-smile: “That’s it, the children will have a place to study, so you don’t have to go here and there. One place is always changing, I think our daughter should follow suit.”

   “What am I listening to?” Yan Yu asked in a daze with her eyes closed.

   “Listen to the class.” Li Xuemei’s voice was very soft.

  Yan Yu didn’t hear it at all, turned over and continued whistling.

   “Our daughter… go?” Yan Er Er pointed to Yan Yu.

   “Let her be busy, don’t always worry about going over the mountain.” Li Xuemei picked up a piece of fat sausage with chopsticks, and stuffed it into Yan Laoer’s mouth.

  The second update is coming~

   Typos are corrected first and then corrected~
