Domineering husband

Chapter 40 She Was Scored by God to Pay Her Debt

    It was broad daylight, and someone could come over at any time, so the two of them didn't really do anything, just hugged and kissed.

It wasn't the superficial kiss of the past, but an adult's, lingering kiss. The joy in Tao Zhu's heart could not be appeased, so could Li Qiao.

After getting married, he always took the initiative to kiss Tao Zhu, and Tao Zhu would also take the initiative to kiss him during the couple's exercise at night, but this was the first time during the day.

Thinking of Tao Zhu's little gesture of glancing at the door, kissing once and wanting to kiss again, the love in his heart was so full that he wanted to kiss him, hug him and kiss him hard.

Although Tao Zhu is taller than the average little brother, compared with him, both hands and body are smaller.

He hugged it just right.

After the kiss was over, he looked at the cheek of the person in his arms.

As he expected, Tao Zhu's cheeks were already dyed red, coupled with those pair of watery and misty eyes, it looks good no matter what.

He has a handsome and sharp appearance, but he always shows such a look that he can do anything. He loves this contrast very much.

He couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed the lips of the person in his arms: "Brother Zhu, you are so pretty."

Tao Zhu: "..."

His cheeks were so hot that they were about to smoke.

Originally, he felt that all the strength in his body was being sucked away, but now after hearing this, he felt like he was going to melt into this person's arms.

But his eyes didn't dodge, the man stared at him brightly, he liked being stared at by him like this.

"You're pretty too." He said softly.

"Then did you fall in love with my beauty back then?" Li Qiao immediately asked shamelessly.

Tao Zhu couldn't help but smiled, and couldn't help poking his cheek with his finger: "No. You bent down to apologize to me." "

That night?" Li Qiao was surprised, and took his hand, Fingers interlocked with him.

"Yes, that night. It was the first time someone apologized to me so solemnly. Originally, in my opinion, you are the same as my brother. Even if I am an ugly man who is too old to marry, I am the only one who despises you For the sake of it."

"But you bent down..."

Recalling the mood at that moment that night, he was obviously lying in this person's arms and being hugged by this person, but Tao Zhu still felt sorry for himself at that time.

"After you straightened up, you, who used to be ashamed of dogs like my brother, suddenly made me feel ashamed." "Then

you domineeringly stuffed the meatloaf to me, but explained a lot of things."

" That was the first time I felt strength and tenderness from a man as a younger brother." "

That's why I fell in love with you."

Li Qiao: "..."

He was stunned.

He could always feel the change of Tao Zhu's attitude towards him, and he could feel Tao Zhu's delicate thoughts.

But at that time, he thought he couldn't draw a big cake to confess his love, so he delayed it for a few days.

But at this moment, listening to Tao Zhu tell his state of mind at that time, he only felt that he was a scumbag, a scumbag, a scumbag.

Before he confessed his love, Tao Zhu must have been worrying about gain and loss, he was in a hurry, and his heart was seamlessly switching between the honey pot and the coptis juice.

"I'm sorry to have caused you a lot of grievances. I should have expressed my heart to you earlier." He said angrily.

"You already apologized the day you proposed marriage, so you don't need to apologize again. But when did you fall in love with me?" Tao Zhu couldn't help asking: "To tell the truth, I want to hear the truth." He asked this question several times

, This person answered very seriously every time, and he could feel the full love and cherishment this person had for him.

But sometimes he still feels that this person's liking for him is so sudden that he always feels that this person fell in love with him because he was suddenly blind... "

I fainted on the mountain, and when I opened my eyes and saw you, At that time, I fell in love with you." Li Qiao replied honestly.

He is beautiful and kind, how can he not love?

But Tao Zhu pursed his lower lip slightly: "...So, it's because I saved you?" "

There is this reason, but it's not the whole reason. It's like you are attracted to me because I'm good-looking Is it? No, it's because of my attitude towards you."

"...All right." Tao Zhu was a little unhappy.

He hoped that the man didn't like him because he wanted to repay his kindness.

But a little happy.

Judging from this person's character and responsibility, he should never let him down for the rest of his life.

Forget it, no matter what the reason is, anyway, the one who is lying in this person's arms and kissed tenderly and deeply by this person is him, and it will be him all his life.

Glancing at the handsome face of this man who was close at hand, he couldn't help kissing him, not thinking about it so much, just enjoy the moment and it's over!

Naturally, Li Qiao would not refuse the enthusiasm of the person in his arms, so the couple dawdled around in the room for a quarter of an hour before getting dressed with some reluctance.

But the joy in their hearts finally subsided a lot, and when they returned to the kitchen, both Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were full of energy.

One continues to cook red beans.

One continues to boil mung bean water.

Today it was considered a big deal, no matter how many youth groups the husband and wife made, the shopkeeper would buy them, one youth group could earn eleven pennies, if two hundred were made a day, that would be two thousand two hundred cash.

Adding the money from Shaqima and Twist, you can earn seven taels of silver that day.

This is a huge amount of income. In the past, Tao Zhu really couldn't even think about it.

However, in this way, these three kinds of snacks will take up all the time of the two of them.

It is hard to free up time at night to enhance the relationship between husband and wife. If you do two hundred youth groups a day, then you have to use the time freed up again.

"Why don't you ask Dashan to help Baoqingtuan?" Tao Zhu said.

Li Dashan can completely participate in the step of wrapping the red bean paste and green dough skin together.

"Listen to you." Li Qiao nodded.

"I want to earn more money, pay off all the debts, and then dig wells and build houses." Tao Zhu said.

When Li Qiao heard this, she was immediately happy: "Okay, let's make money quickly." "

What are you laughing at, don't you want to?" Tao Zhu was a little ashamed by his smile, and immediately asked back.

"I think, I really want to, I really want to dig a well in the yard, and I don't have to be afraid to take a bath ten times a day! I really want to build a room dedicated to bathing and have a shower. Then we will think together Wash as you like."

"I want to make more money than you do. I wish I could arrange the water well and the new house tomorrow."

Li Qiao smiled and said seriously.

When he chatted with Tao Zhu before, he mentioned the design of the manual shower, and Tao Zhu remembered it in his heart.

After finishing the work just now, he went to the yard to fetch water and came back to scrub. Tao Zhu definitely felt that this was inconvenient, so he wanted to get the shower out of his mouth quickly.

Originally Brother Zhu was quite a shy person, but now that he brought him along, he was thinking about it in broad daylight.

Very good.

Husband and wife, you should be ashamed like this.

But it was obvious that Brother Zhu was thin-skinned, and when he discussed this in broad daylight, he felt shy when he smiled.

He doesn't smile.

He just laughed in his heart.

"Then let Dashan become a youth group." Tao Zhu didn't know what Li Qiao was thinking, and seeing his serious face, he said again with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll tell Da Shan when he comes back." Li Qiao was still very serious.

So, when Li Dashan came back with a sack full of wormwood, he found his uncle's smile became weird again.

...

Forget it, I don't understand it anyway, but it's always right to work hard, to be worthy of the wages given by his uncle Zhushu and the delicious meals every day!

Li Dashan ate dinner at Li Qiao's house, and made a green ball for a while before going home.

After Li Dashan left, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu steamed the prepared green balls in a pot.

After steaming more than 200 green balls, it was already late at night, and Li Gu finally came back.

Zhao Erniu's wound was quite serious, much more serious than what the naked eye could see, because the wound from the chicken leg bone almost penetrated Zhao Erniu's tongue!

The two doctors in the hospital were very surprised. What kind of force was it that made the chicken leg bone almost pierce the tongue?

How much effort did Zhao Erniu use to chew this bone?

Does she want to chew the bones directly?

Some people from poor families seldom eat meat once, and they would indeed chew up the bones when eating meat.

But under normal circumstances, when a person is chewing, if their tongue is pricked by a sharp bone, they will stop chewing immediately, but is Zhao Erniu a fool? Why didn't she stop chewing the moment she felt the pain?

Moreover, even if you gnaw on that chicken leg bone with the force of crushing a bone, you shouldn't be able to pierce your tongue right?

"The doctor doesn't understand. Although Zhao Erniu woke up, her tongue hurts and she can't speak, so no one knows how she got such a deep wound." "But I think it's actually very simple

. ."

Li Gu said with a serious face.

"How?" Li Qiao asked immediately.

"God couldn't bear to see her messing around, so he took action."

"...It makes sense."

Li Qiao thought for a moment, then nodded.

Tao Zhu also nodded.

Tao Zhu also couldn't figure it out, since he couldn't figure it out, it could only be God's action.

"She slanders Chuntao, and she insists on eating the food made by Chuntao. She is shameless, and God will naturally not show her face." "

Actually, this also proves another point."

Li Gu said, because he had been doing farm work all year round. A look of joy appeared on his sun-tanned face.

Li Qiao hurriedly asked again: "What did you prove?"

"It proves that Chuntao was wronged! Otherwise, it would be Chuntao who almost got his tongue pierced today. Do you two think this is the reason?" Li Qiao

: "...Yes!"

Tao Zhu nodded fiercely: "That's the reason. God's move not only punished Third Aunt, but also proved Chuntao's innocence. God deserves to be God, so powerful." Li Qiao:

" ..."

He is not he no wow!

At that time, he just wanted to teach Zhao Erniu a lesson and tell Zhao Erniu to shut up.

"Tomorrow, I have to let Chuntao's mother go out to chat with the folks, Chuntao was wronged!"

Obviously, Li Gu also thinks that God's move kills two birds with one stone, which is really powerful.

"This time, I want to see whether the folks believe in that beast of the Zhou family, or believe in God."

Li Qiao: "..."

Given how superstitious the folks are, they should believe in God more...

So, yesterday he Judging from the results of that shot, the effect was very good?

"It's a pity, God only punishes Zhao Erniu, but not that beast surnamed Zhou." Li Gu was a little puzzled.

"It should be before the time comes, Second Uncle, don't worry, a villain like Zhou Mingsheng will not end well." Li Qiao said seriously.

"Forget it, don't be too greedy, let nature take its course, God can take action to punish Zhao Erniu, and also restore Chuntao's innocence, this is already an unexpected joy."

Li Gu quickly laughed again.

It was late, he didn't stay long, and went home soon.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were also ready to wash up and go to bed.

But Tao Zhu was clearly thinking about the day's affairs, he was a little excited, and while scooping water with a gourd ladle, he said, "This is the first time I've seen God appear." "Eh, that's not right." He

said Said again quickly.

"What's wrong?" Li Qiao asked him, and handed him a simple toothbrush made of willow branches dipped in tooth powder.

"I met you lying down in a ditch on the mountain. This is the first time God has manifested."

Li Qiao: "..."

What's the point of brushing his teeth, his heart is numb now.

I won't sleep tonight. He really couldn't resist Tao Zhu's straightforward and warm sincerity.

He put the toothbrush on the table, bent down and picked up the person in front of him in a princess hug posture, and then walked into the room.

When he met Tao Zhu, it was not because of God's manifestation.

"You..." Tao Zhu was startled, and almost threw the water ladle in his hand.

"Let's finish the day's affairs to the end." Li Qiao said, his voice was a little lower than before.

Tao Zhu: "..."

The image of the daytime flashed through his mind, and his whole body felt a little hot.

He hummed and agreed.

What God, what sleeping, he forgot everything in an instant, and only the person holding him was in his mind and heart.

That night, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu only slept for less than two hours. When Li Dashan came over the next day, he saw that their eyes were bloodshot but they were in good spirits, and he couldn't help admiring them.

"Working during the day and learning how to read at night, Uncle Zhu is really good at what?"

He couldn't help scratching his head while talking, what is that idiom called?

"...five body prostration?"

Li Qiao twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Yes!" Li Dashan's eyes lit up: "That's the word, Uncle Zhu is so powerful that I'm overwhelmed!" "Okay, okay,

you go grind glutinous rice flour." Li Qiao arranged for him to do the work.

"Okay!"

Li Dashan replied with a smile, rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

Li Chuntao also came, she was in good spirits, after Li Gu came home last night and explained the logic of God's return of her innocence, she only felt that her breathing became easier.

That's right, God's move is not only punishing Zhao Erniu, but also proving her innocence.

She walked briskly into the kitchen and started making breakfast.

After busy work, breakfast is ready.

Egg pancakes, fried winter melon, scrambled eggs with chives, white porridge.

Simple, clear and light, but the taste is very good.

After breakfast, Xiao Wu came.

Give him yesterday's Shaqima, Twist, and Youth League, and you have seven taels of silver in your hand, and you are one step closer to building a house.

Tao Zhu put the money into the cash box, and then took out the ledger, just like a kindergarten kid, holding a brush and writing down today's entry one stroke at a time.

Looking at the balance on the ledger, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Following this trend, all debts will be paid off in less than half a month.

With no gambling debts, you can save money to build a house and buy land.

have to work harder!

So, this morning, Li Qiao, Tao Zhu, and Li Dashan were all busy going around.

At noon, the gate of the courtyard became much calmer, and no one came to sell things.

But Li Qiao and Tao Zhule were clean and no one disturbed them, so they continued to make dim sum after dinner.

Those in Sanliu Village who love to watch the excitement and have time to watch the excitement all went to Li Dazhong's house at this time.

There was such a big commotion yesterday that the villagers were all paying attention to this matter. Now they finally had some free time. Some people wandered to Li Dazhong's house while eating with bowls. They wanted to know about Zhao Erniu's injury.

Li Dazhong didn't hide it from everyone. The wound on Zhao Erniu's tongue was too deep, which not only affected Zhao Erniu's speech, but also affected her eating.

For the next half month, she will only be able to eat liquid food.

If the wound is not recovering well, it will take longer to eat liquid food.

As for speaking, it depends on the recovery of her wounds. As far as she is concerned, she will not be able to speak normally for at least half a month.

Moreover, apart from Zhao Erniu's wound, Li Dazhong also truthfully told the villagers about the doctor's doubts.

How could there be such a serious wound?

I can't figure it out.

Even the doctors couldn't figure it out, and the villagers couldn't figure it out even more, and the villagers didn't understand medical skills.

However, it was rare to encounter such a mysterious thing in the countryside, and everyone discussed it with great interest, even if the rice in the bowl was gone, they were not willing to leave.

Zhou Jingui came at this time.

I don't know why it's so mysterious?

Can mortals understand the matter of God?

This matter was done by God, otherwise why didn't God let her Chuntao poke her tongue?

God is clarifying for her Chuntao!

Zhao Erniu was condemned by God!

Zhou Jingui's words could be said to be sonorous and powerful, and they stunned the villagers present at once.

But when Zhao Erniu, who was lying in the room drinking medicine, heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to stand up and confront Zhou Jingui.

However, as her mouth opened wide, her tongue moved immediately.

This movement involved the wound, and in an instant, severe pain enveloped her again, causing her eyes to turn black, and she could only lie back on the bed.

But she couldn't bear it, she raised her hand and patted the bed, signaling Li Dao, who was sitting by the bed and feeding her medicine, to go out and confront Zhou Jingui on her behalf.

What God shot, fart!

She is careless!

Moreover, she felt that besides the chicken leg meat, there seemed to be something else in her mouth that cut her tongue. That thing was like a knife, but it was much sharper than the chicken leg bone.

Now that Zhou Jingui wants to accuse her of being punished by God himself, she won't admit it!

I hate that she can't speak now, can't explain, and she can't read, so she can't write her feelings.

It really pissed her off!

Li Dao naturally didn't recognize Zhou Jingui's words. If the crime of "being sanctioned by God" really falls on Zhao Erniu, how will Zhao Erniu behave in the future?

He put down the medicine bowl and prepared to come out of his and Zhao Erniu's room.

But before he reached the door, he heard a "bang", and the door of the room was closed.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of iron objects colliding was heard, and upon hearing this sound, his expression changed: "Da Zhong!" "

Father, feed your mother well and drink medicine, you don't need to participate in outside affairs, my mother's body is important. "

Li Dazhong said, putting the key into his arms.

He locked the door of the room.

Li Dao: "!"

Little bastard, trembling with anger, he rushed to the door in a few steps, raised his hand and patted: "Open the door for me!"

Zhao Erniu was naturally even more angry than when she heard Zhou Jingui's words just now, and turned back. Oh my god.

Subconsciously, she opened her mouth to curse, but severe pain enveloped her again, and this time, the pain was accompanied by the smell of blood.

Her wound began to bleed again.

Zhao Erniu: "..."

Letting people live!

The people in the courtyard naturally saw Li Dazhong's locked door and heard Li Dao's scolding.

Facing everyone's different gazes, Li Dazhong smiled wryly: "It's okay, it's so clean, you continue to talk."

Everyone: "..."

Li Ping coughed lightly.

How could this kind of moment be rare for her, she came to see Zhao Erniu's injury, at this moment, seeing the smile on Li Dazhong's face that was uglier than crying, she sighed softly.

Then, as Li Dazhong said, she opened her mouth to Zhou Jingui: "Aunt Jingui, I have thought about what you said just now, and I think it is the same as what Osmanthus fragrans said. There are no loopholes and no flaws."

" Since I can't find an angle to refute, then what you said is probably the truth." "

It seems that Chuntao was really wronged, poor, almost forced to death."

Li Ping's words caught the attention of the villagers. Then it was transferred from Li Dazhong.

Of course, finding the truth is the most important thing.

They began to think about what Zhou Jingui said, but no matter how they thought about it, it seemed that they couldn't refute it.

"Perhaps, this is God's eyes open?"

"Is Chuntao really innocent?"

"Then why didn't God punish Zhou?"

"Uh..."

Yes, the culprit is clearly Zhou Mingsheng, God really wants to clarify for Li Chuntao, why not punish Zhou Mingsheng?

Zhou Jingui sneered when he heard the words: "It's not the time yet, it's not that the time has not arrived! This ungrateful bastard surnamed Zhou will never escape!"

Li Ping also nodded: "It's not the time yet, after all, yesterday's two Aunt Niu is a bit too much, wronged Chuntao and still has to eat Chuntao's food." "

The surname Zhou is vicious, and he looks like a person on the surface. But Aunt Erniu is so hysterical and noisy, tsk... I guess God is more annoying Let's go."

Villager: "..."

It seems to make sense.

The two incidents of Zhao Erniu's troubles, they watched the fun, naturally they didn't think it was a big deal, but if they were asked to objectively evaluate Zhao Erniu's behavior, it would be quite noisy... "So,

Chuntao was indeed wronged, and Aunt Erniu, you are indeed condemned by God."

Li Ping said, looking at the "bang bang" door that was photographed: "I hope Aunt Erniu will change her temper, so as not to provoke God to attack again." Li Ping

said , the people present did not refute, and neither did Li Dazhong.

Li Dazhong didn't refute. The villagers pondered for a while, but they quickly dispersed without finding a more reasonable explanation.

Although they wanted to watch the excitement, there was a lot of work in the fields at home at this time, and it was impossible for them to stay here all the time.

As they went back to their homes, Zhou Jingui's words that God punished Zhao Erniu and restored Li Chuntao's innocence also spread throughout Sanliu Village.

In the afternoon, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu learned about it from the villagers who came to sell things.

The two naturally nodded in agreement.

Well, there's no way to explain it except for God.

Zhao Erniu was condemned by God!

Tao Zhu was very happy, with such a reputation, Zhao Erniu would not come to his house to make trouble in a short time.

However, considering Li Dazhong, he said to Li Qiao: "It must cost a lot of money to treat the third aunt's injury, why don't we give some money to Brother Dazhong in private?" "He will definitely not accept it."

Li Qiao shook his head : "Forget it, let's see later. He seems to be suppressing the third uncle and the third aunt now."

"Brother Dazhong is really unlucky to meet such parents."

Tao Zhu thought of his parents and sighed softly.

Because of his marriage, no one in the Tao family was working, and there was no food left in the family, so the Tao family soon ran out of food.

Mrs. Tao came to ask him for it, but he refused to give it.

Mrs. Tao had no choice but to harvest the wheat herself.

But she hadn't done any work in these years, how could she bear the tiring work of harvesting wheat, after only half a day, she went home and lay down on the bed tired.

Tao Shu had no choice but to work in the fields in order not to starve to death.

But he has been lazy for so many years. Where is the material for work, he can't stand this kind of tiring work more than Mrs. Tao.

He quickly thought of a trick. He cut off the ears of wheat with scissors, took them home and threshed them with a stone mill, and cut as much as he could eat.

As for the straw, he can drop whatever he likes, but there is nothing he can do now anyway.

Relying on this lazy method, the four of Tao Shu did not starve to death.

The problem of eating was solved, and Tao Shu and Lai Dongmei started to make maltose again.

Tao Zhu was worried.

With him in the past, after harvesting the wheat, he had to continue growing food, such as corn and sweet potatoes, so as to ensure that the family had food and would not starve to death.

Right now, the four members of the Tao family only see the wheat in front of them. If the wheat is eaten up, then they will have to rely on him again.

bother.

"It's not suitable for us to get together at this time. Let's take one step at a time. Let's make money first."

Li Qiao didn't know that he was thinking of Tao Shu and others. Seeing the faint line between his brows, he raised his hand and pressed it Twice.

"Don't worry, it will definitely get better."

"...Well!"

Tao Zhu nodded heavily.

The present day is so good, he never dreamed of such a day before.

He didn't want the four members of the Tao family anymore, so he hurriedly made snacks.

In the next few days, the most talked about in the village was the fact that Zhao Erniu was sanctioned by God.

Everyone discussed and discussed, but they couldn't find any reasonable words to refute Zhou Jingui's words. Therefore, the three words of being condemned by the gods really fell on Zhao Erniu.

Zhao Erniu was so angry that she couldn't sleep, she hammered the bed every day, which could easily affect the wound, and the blood that was finally stopped began to flow again.

Repeatedly like this, her wound healed extremely slowly.

Li Dao was also very angry.

He wanted to rush to Li Gu's house to argue, but he didn't have the courage.

He wanted to get angry with Li Dazhong, but Li Dazhong ignored him at all, and just worked with his head sullen.

His wheat has not been dried and put into the warehouse.

Moreover, his family also planted sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes should be watered, otherwise they would die of drought.

Also, Li Dazhong and Han Xiaoyan have a son and a daughter, one is three years old and the other is less than two years old, they are just at the age that they need someone to take care of them.

All these things were previously done by Li Dazhong, Zhao Erniu, and Han Xiaoyan as a family of four.

But now Han Xiaoyan was driven back to her mother's house by Li Dazhong, Zhao Erniu was bedridden, if he didn't work, the crops in the field and his grandchildren would all be ruined!

There was no other way, Li Dao could only suppress his anger and work first.

Thus, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu lived a quiet life for a few days.

On this day, the weather was gloomy, there was no wind in the air, and it was extremely hot.

When Xiao Wu arrived at Li Qiao's house, beads of sweat covered his forehead.

It was early in the morning, and he didn't do any work. He just drove the carriage over. Even so, he was sweating all over, which shows how stuffy the weather is.

He took a clay pot from the carriage, which contained cane sugar, which was bought by Li Qiaotuo for making snacks.

He handed the pot to Li Qiao, and said with a happy face, "It should be raining if you're so bored."

Li Qiao took the pot and thanked him, then handed him a bowl of vegetable lump soup, and said with a smile : "The rain is a good thing. The folks don't have to work so hard to water the crops. I made a lot of pimple soup this morning, and I haven't finished it. Brother Xiaowu, you can try it."

Xiao Wu thanked him, but he was not as polite as before.

Now that he and Li Qiao are getting acquainted, Li Qiao is busy making snacks and has no time to go to the county seat. If he needs any raw materials or other items, he will entrust them to buy them.

This back and forth, naturally less polite.

Sitting on a small bench, he talked about the situation in the county while drinking pimple soup.

"With the fame of Fenggao and Damahua, the shopkeeper directly sells the Youth League to these old customers. All the customers who have tasted it are not boastful." "In just a few days, the Youth League has

become The hottest dim sum in the county, customers have to make an order in advance, otherwise they won't be able to buy it at all." "The

shopkeeper's one sells for thirty-five yuan, even so, the supply is in short supply." "

However, when I was serving the guests the day before yesterday, I heard that A guest said that he wanted to eat Qingtuan with other fillings. The guest seemed to be very knowledgeable, I heard a few words, and he said that Qingtuan is just like the dumplings, with all kinds of fillings." Li Qiao just

held He came out with a wooden box containing green balls, and when he heard this, he said with a smile: "This guest knows the goods, green balls do have a lot of stuffing, I heard that in the south, every household makes green balls on Ching Ming Festival, what do you like to eat?" Just do what you want."

He purposely blurred the region, referring to Jiangnan as the South, anyway, he "read" the Youth League from a miscellaneous book, so it's normal that he couldn't remember it clearly.

"However, Brother Zhu and I are at our wits' end right now, so we can keep our feet off the ground just by making one bean paste stuffing. Let's talk about the other stuffing later." "Yes, the bean paste stuffing is in short supply, so forget it if you're too busy.

" ." Xiao Wu said.

He took a sip of pimple soup, thinking of what he saw in the county seat yesterday, he hurriedly said, "Brother Qiao, I accidentally saw your uncle when I went to buy cane sugar yesterday, and he was flirting with a scholar-like man." , I heard your uncle call him Xiao Gao."

"Tao Shu?" Li Qiao was not surprised.

Gao Zhiyuan said that he knew how to make maltose, and Tao Shu was tossing about maltose again. It was very normal for these two people to hook up.

However, as long as these two people don't appear in front of him and Tao Zhu, he doesn't bother to talk to them.

He thanked Xiao Wu.

He gave Xiao Wu another silver, and asked Xiao Wu to bring some saltpeter over tomorrow.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and he wanted to get some ice out.

After Xiao Wu left, the weather was still sweltering, and both the kitchen and the shed had become stoves.

But in order to make snacks, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu not only had to stay in the stove, but also had to stand beside the oil pan, and the sweat on their hot bodies never stopped.

At noon, with the rumbling thunder, the long-awaited rain finally fell.

The heavy rain fell on the ground, causing the smell of soil to float in the air, and also swept away the sweltering heat.

Taking advantage of the cool weather, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu hurriedly finished the remaining dim sum.

Doing business is not easy.

The heavy rain started at noon, intermittently, and it didn't stop completely until the sky became bright.

This heavy rain nourished the water-deficient crops, so when Li Dashan and Li Chuntao came over the next day, they both had smiles on their faces.

There is no need to water the crops, and the work in the fields is cut in half.

After more than a month of busy work, their family can finally catch their breath.

Apparently, everyone in the village thought so.

Because there was water in the field, it was a bit muddy and not suitable for working in the field, so the villagers stayed at home, and the whole village was more lively than usual.

The road was difficult, and Xiao Wu didn't know if he could still come, so Li Qiao and Tao Zhu didn't make any more dim sum.

Tao Zhu stayed at home, while Li Qiao went up the mountain to cut trees with an axe.

He's going to make a mosquito net stand.

The weather is hot, and it is too hot to sleep in the house, but if you lie in the yard, there are too many mosquitoes.

So he planned to make a mosquito net frame first, and when Xiao Wu came, he asked Xiao Wu to buy some breathable and light fabrics in the county to make mosquito nets.

Xiao Wu came at noon. In fact, he set off after the rain stopped in the morning, but the road was difficult, so he was delayed a lot of time.

After seeing Xiao Wu off, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu continued making dim sum.

The day passed quickly. In the evening, the manor beat the gong and called for people to gather at the entrance of the village. His grandfather had something important to announce.

It was a big event indeed:

it was time to pay the summer tax.

Right now, the wheat harvest in the villages is basically over, and most households put the wheat in the warehouse after drying it.

So, it's time to pay the summer tax.

Dasheng's taxes are divided into summer tax and autumn tax.

Because the fine grain here in Pingcheng is wheat, the summer tax is paid for wheat and small grains.

Li Qiao's family's fields were all sold, but his household registration is still in Sanliu Village, and he is an ordinary farmer, so he still has to pay grain taxes.

However, Dasheng's tax is not heavy, so he can just ask the villagers to buy some wheat.

As for the small tax, women and younger brothers don't have to pay it, he only needs to pay his own.

The specific tax payment process is handled by the officials sent by the county magistrate and the village head, and the villagers only need to listen to the village head's arrangement, and do what they should do on weekdays.

So, after Li Qiao bought the taxed wheat, he put the matter aside. He finally saved enough money to pay off his debts.

These days, he and Tao Zhu went to Li Dashan to make dim sum all day long, and his hard work paid off. Without affecting the normal operation of the dim sum business, the cash in his hand was enough for him to pay off his debts.

Of course, after repaying the debt, he and Tao Zhu had no savings left.

But the two don't worry, the dim sum business is booming, and it won't take long for them to save enough money to build a house.

Just like when returning Zhao Mancang and Li Dazhong, he calculated the interest and brought some snacks.

Li Gu, Zhuang Fengshou, and Li Liang didn't want the interest. Every time he and Tao Zhu went to a house, they had to talk hard to get the other party to accept it.

Li Liang, in particular, became really angry.

In fact, he and Wang Guihua didn't intend to ask for the money anymore, after all, Li Qiao gave them the maltose recipe.

The couple felt that this maltose recipe was worth the forty taels of silver.

Right now, Li Qiao has to pay back the forty taels of silver with interest, which is too cheap for him!

If he took the money, he would have no face to see his parents after he died. As the eldest brother, how could he take advantage of his younger brother like this?

Li Qiao was moved by Li Liang's thoughts.

But his determination to repay the debt did not waver at all.

If this debt is not repaid, he should be the one who is unsteady.

The two brothers, plus Wang Guihua and Tao Zhu, the four pushed back and forth for more than an hour, and Li Liang and Wang Guihua finally accepted the money.

After Li Qiao and Tao Zhu left, the couple stared at the white money on the table, both a little dazed.

They are used to being poor, but suddenly they have so much money, they are not used to it.

After a while, Wang Guihua sighed: "Put it away. From now on, we should be in debt to Li Qiao." "

Oh, I hope to meet my parents underground in the future, and the old couple don't scold me." Li Liang Also sigh.

Now he can confirm that Li Qiao has really grown up and doesn't need to rely on him anymore.

Alas, melancholy.
