"Isn't it? You see, after the Li family came, our village has become quite lively!"

Today it was the turn of a field in the south of the village. Jia'an was cutting sorghum tassels with her buttocks pouted.

"Grandma, why are you here? The sun is shining, my sister should be hot."

Jiayin's white and tender face is very cute now that Gu Lulu is rolling her big eyes.

Jia An wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes, then took out a slingshot from his bosom, and flaunted it to his younger sister, "Sister, look at this, this one can be used to hunt birds, hurry Brother Minger to pick out bird eggs for you to eat!"

The slingshot was made extremely finely, and the wooden handle was probably smooth and round because it was often rubbed by people in the past.

"Yeah!" Jiayin also played with it when she was a child in her previous life, and when she was curious, she reached out her little hand to grab it, and Jiaan put the slingshot in her hand.

Mrs. Li saw that the slingshot didn't look like the one at home, so she asked casually, "Where did you get the slingshot?"

"Uncle Zhao gave it, and Grandpa Zhang and the others also gave it. Brother Jiayi also got a small dagger, which is so pretty!" Jia An raised his head, as if showing off their spoils.

Hearing that it was given by those veterans, Mrs. Li didn't say anything.

These days, all the people that the Li family helped out, as if they had made an appointment with them, sent things to the Li family one after another, such as dried vegetables, miso, mustard greens, etc., everything was complete, and they couldn't accept it!

Mrs. Li understood that this was a thank you from the villagers, and gradually she did not refuse. In the future, she will make delicious food at home and send it back.

"Little Fu girl is here again!" The second sister-in-law Sun at the west end of the village brought water to her man, and when she saw Mrs. Li from a long distance, she hurried over to say hello.

Seeing Jiayin well-behaved in Old Madam Li's arms, Second Aunt Sun liked it so much that she took out a silk flower made of fabric fringes from her pocket and handed it to Jiayin's little hand.

"The rags I found in the closet yesterday are just right to make a flower for little Fu Niu!" Second Aunt Sun saw Jiayin smiling with a silk flower, her heart trembled because of the cuteness, and she raised her hand to pinch her little face.

Jiayin's skin is delicate, even if she doesn't use much force, a rough hand can leave a red mark on her small face.

Jiayin turned her head away uncomfortably, which made the second sister-in-law Sun laugh even more, "You little girl, you know how shy you are."

Jiayin is powerless to complain, who is shy, obviously disgusted, okay?

Sure enough, it’s no good to follow grandma to the edge of the field, it’s better to go up the mountain with mother and the others, not to mention the dryness, but also to get things from the space...

Every household in the village is busy with the autumn harvest, but there are also inside and outside, that is, the Liu family. The whole family is nesting in the house, and no one goes out to work.

Seeing that the crops are ripe, if they don't harvest any more, if it rains in a few days, this year's harvest will be in vain.

Guo Shi was so anxious that her throat was about to burst into flames, but she couldn't order anyone to do anything.

As soon as Liu Tiezhu was called to work, Liu Tiezhu screamed with his stomach in his arms, and ran to the latrine.

Liu Laifu said he went to the county to look for Wu Er, but he didn't hear from him for several days.

The two daughters-in-law are even more lazy than the other, and when they talk about work, they run faster than anyone else.

"Mother, there are so many people in the Li family. After helping this family and that family these days, why haven't they come to help our family? We are still relatives, are they so heartless?" Liu Laifu's daughter-in-law sat On the kang, he was so fat that his eyes were narrowed into slits, and his tone was sour.

Guo's eyes lit up when he heard this, how much it would cost to hire someone, the Li family loves to work so much, just ask them to help!

Thinking about it this way, she ran straight to Li's house.

"Sister, are you resting?" Mrs. Guo saw Mrs. Li sitting at the gate of the courtyard coaxing her granddaughter, so she licked her face and moved closer.

Mrs. Li gave her a sideways look, but said nothing, regretting that she hadn't locked the door, anyone could come in at will.

Mrs. Guo was not annoyed, she was still cheerful, "Sister, my crops haven't been cut yet. You have a lot of family members, so help us cut them."

"My family is busy and I can't help you. The fourth child will be back soon, so go back quickly! Be careful that he has a bad temper and throws you out!"

After finishing speaking with a sullen face, Mrs. Li hugged Jiayin and got up and went back to the house without looking at Mrs. Guo at all.

Mrs. Guo felt ashamed, wanted to get angry but was afraid that Mrs. Li would really come back, so she spat on Mrs. Li's back and walked home cursing.

"Cold-blooded things from the whole family! Even relatives don't help! Who do you really think is begging them? Pooh!"

Guo swears as she walks, and when she meets villagers on the road, she swears even more vigorously, but no one in the village pays her any attention...

This year's autumn harvest in Qingshui Village was completed several days earlier than in previous years because of the help of the Li family.

When the villagers of Qingshui Village saw the Li family, they were extremely close and kind.

"Is Yusheng at home?" This morning, just after the Li family had breakfast, they heard the voice of the village chief from the gate of the courtyard.

Li Er Er responded and got up quickly to go out.

"Yusheng, I remember that you were an accountant, and I want to ask you for help with something." The village chief directly explained his purpose.

Hearing what he said, Li Er Er guessed that it was something related to writing and calculation, so he agreed, "Okay, uncle, I have something to tell you."

"Tomorrow is the day when the county government servants will come to collect the grain tax. I want you to help with the calculation."

Sure enough, the village chief brought up the matter of paying the grain tax. He sighed heavily, and said, "I used to do the work by myself every year. There are many veterans and elderly folks in the village who don't understand these things. Those tax collectors always I fooled them while I was busy and overcharged them with a lot of food..."

Food in autumn is the foundation of survival in winter, but the unscrupulous local officials and government officials don't care about this, they still point to the food tax to make a fortune.

After hearing this, Li Er Er hurriedly agreed, "Uncle, don't worry! Our whole family will help tomorrow, and we will never let the people in the village suffer again!"

"Hey, Yu Sheng, let me thank you and your family on behalf of the big guys." The village chief patted Li's second son on the shoulder in relief, very happy.

He became more and more convinced that it was a great thing for Qingshui Village to agree to the Li family's settlement!

After the village chief left, the second son Li went back to the house and told Mrs. Li about the matter, and all the young and old in the Li family agreed to help.

Only Wu Cuihua'er, sitting on the edge of the kang, was stuffing two roasted chestnuts into her mouth.

"Always meddle in this nosy business, no one is doing my own work!" She muttered in her mouth, feeling dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say it out loud, like a mouse stealing food in the gutter.

Everyone in the family heard her, but no one paid attention to her, and pretended not to hear her, otherwise, it would be a waste of effort and bad mood to care about her.

The next day, before dawn, the Li family got up early, cooked a fire, packed up and went to the village chief's house.

In Junyang County, the villagers in each village collect the grain tax. They move the tax and grain they have to pay to the open space in the village, and wait for the government officials to calculate it uniformly.

The Li family has a lot of hands, so they have to go from house to house to help carry food bags.Especially Li Laosi and Jiayi, who carried a hundred catties without blushing or panting, made the villagers envious.
