impressive, his arms must have the strength of 500 jin.""There should be a thousand jin, we four only have five hundred jin, and then there's the carriage too."Who says scholars don't gossip Li Lao Si...The morning at Suijin Tan is busy and lively, with hens from all the families clucking and squawking for food.

The old yellow dog guarding the door would also wag its tail and rub against its owner, wanting another piece of biscuit to soak in the vegetable soup. For it, that was a rare delicacy. 。The women were busy making breakfast, and the men left as soon as they finished eating. 。The fruit trees on the mountain need to be wrapped in straw fences, and the path by the archway also needs to be swept clean of snow. 。Also, Li Yong's new courtyard will be finished soon. Hurry up and help tidy it up so that it is clean and warm before he can move in. 。The Li family was even busier than the neighboring families. At least they had to cook for almost twenty people for breakfast. 。Fortunately, there are also plenty of people working. 。In Cui's courtyard, Grandma He and Shuiling got up early. Shuiling went to the next door to help cook, while Grandma He was under the eaves, setting up two medicine jars over a brazier and slowly simmering the medicinal soup. 。Soon, Shuiling carried a lunchbox back and called He Mamá to come in and eat together. 。The girl had sat up, gritting her teeth against the pain, and braided her hair into two plaits. She tore two strips of cloth from her petticoat to use as headbands, trying hard to make herself look clean and presentable. 。She still wanted to support herself to wash up, but she was stopped by He Mamá and Shuiling. 。Two people helped her carry water to wash up. She went first to wet the towel and helped her younger brother wipe his face and hands clean. 。He Mamu and Shui Ling, seeing this, both nodded involuntarily. 。Without saying anything about the background of these two people, at least this older sister did her job well. 。Tao Hongying didn't have to go to the tavern these two days, someone took over at Shangu, she had a rare quiet time, she woke up early and changed the way she cooked delicious food for her family. 。This morning I made a golden-yellow rice porridge, paired with steamed pork and pickled mustard greens dumplings, and last night's unfinished bean paste buns. I also stir-fried some turnip-leaf and minced meat with salted vegetable, a refreshing cucumber salad with vinegar, and scrambled eggs with scallions. 。Considering the two patients, Tao Hongying also added brown sugar and red dates to the porridge she delivered to Cui's house. 。The kids didn't have a fever last night and slept soundly. When they woke up and saw these dishes, they ate them hungrily. 。The girl wanted to stop him, but she didn't say anything. She just apologetically pushed the last two steamed dumplings towards Grandma He and Shui Ling. 。Grandma He laughed and divided the steamed dumplings among her grandchildren, saying, "You don't have to be polite, eat as much as you like." 。Our master's family is especially harmonious, and we slaves who serve them eat just as well as they do. We don't go hungry at all. 。"

Shuiling bit into the sweet red bean bun, nodding vigorously. >>> 。"Grandma is right, you'll know once you live here for a long time." 。Our four housewives are the best at cooking, their braised pork is simply incredible! Give me a piece of meat, and I could eat a whole bowl of rice!" He Ma Ma laughed and glared at her, "You, you're just greedy. You've fallen into a well of blessings since coming to our family!" 。"Well, my mother always says that fools have their luck." 。"Shuiling smiled sweetly, finishing the three bean paste buns in her hand in a few bites. Then she said, “Grandma, please clear the table! I’ll go see if the young masters are finished eating. Grandmother might come over for a visit soon.” 。" OK, go. 。Grandma He waited for her siblings to finish eating, then quickly cleared the table. Just as she finished cleaning up, the old lady came over with Jia Yin, followed by Tao Hongying and Dongmei. 。That girl struggled, insisting on kneeling on the kang to kowtow to the old woman and others, "Thank you, madam, for saving my life." 。The child, with a leg injury that prevented movement, also supported himself half-heartedly, bowing his head. 。The old woman personally helped the young girl sit down, and then patted the child before sitting down on the edge of the kang. 。Grandma He brought in the medicine soup. The young girl drank it all in one gulp, but the little child struggled to drink it and looked longingly at plump Jia Yin. 。Jia Yin blinked her eyes, then squeezed her purse. 。The little kids definitely drank a lot more happily, at the end their eyes and noses were all scrunched together from the bitterness. 。Then Jia Yin giggled and stepped forward, pulling out a sesame candy from her pocket and stuffing it into his mouth. 。The child smacked their lips, a touch disappointed, as if the sesame candy wasn't as sweet as yesterday's. Jiayin pretended not to notice, and took a piece of sesame candy herself, slowly licking it. 。Tao Hongying pulled out her handkerchief and wiped the drool from her daughter's mouth. 。The old woman then asked, “Girl, our second son couldn't stand seeing you being beaten yesterday, so he saved you.” 。"But I don't yet know your names or where you live. Would you like us to send a letter to your home" That young woman's face noticeably paled, she took a deep breath before replying, "To Madam's question, our siblings' home is in Aokizaki Town, Yongze County, on the west side of Xindu. Our family name is Gong, I am called Gong Yunshi, and my younger brother is called Gong Yu" 。My grandfather was a juren, my father a xiucai. In our Aoki Town, we were quite well-known. Over ten families came to live with us, making it a lively place for twenty years. 。But five or six years ago, my father went out to play and admire the flowers and was beaten to death by a robber who robbed him of his money and possessions. 。My mother… soon followed as well!

The young lady choked back tears and continued, “My grandfather only had one son, my father. He always cherished him deeply. He couldn’t bear the blow and lay bedridden for half a year before passing away. There is only our grandmother left to take care of us siblings…” 。Life was fine at first, but the villagers became greedy. They kept coming to borrow money and seize our land. A month ago, grandma... also passed away. Just after we finished her seventh day memorial rites, the villagers drove us out of the yard and took over all our property. 。"My brother and I lived in a dilapidated thatched hut at the edge of the village. As a result, our uncle said he would send us to the capital to find work, but in reality, he was going to sell us into a brothel." 。"My younger brother and I seized an opportunity to run out, but we were chased down in the street..."

Everyone who heard this was on edge, gritting their teeth with anger. 。Tao Hongying said, "This is too much of a bully! It's clearly murder for financial gain, robbing the family fortune!"The old woman also sighed, "Your family doesn't have any relatives who can help you"Miss Yunshu shook her head and smiled bitterly, "People go cold when tea gets cold. My grandfather and father are both gone, and my great-uncle's family is too far away, and we don't often visit each other..." 。Even if you help the Gong family, there's no reward. Who would be willing to go out of their way 。"Besides, Uncle took fifty acres of land and gold and silver from my family, and he smoothed things over with the town magistrate and county office." 。ou didn't bring any food! ""Besides silver, you like to eat the most. Hurry up and share some with me. In the future, if there are good things, I'll save some for you too.""Cut! As if we were close!"...
