"Stupid boy!" Mrs. Li cast a reproachful glance at her son, and finally sighed, "It's true that people in this world do everything for themselves. If you want others to give you convenience, you have to think of a way.

"For example, the simplest way to give way, if you shout, 'Give way, I want to pass!'. Others will not be reluctant, after all, if you give way to you, it will be troublesome for them, and it will not do any good.

"You should yell, 'Hot water, spill it, spill it, don't burn it!' Everyone was afraid of losing money, and immediately moved out of the way.

"In the end, just try to turn your business into everyone's business, and it will go well."

Li Laosan is not an idiot, so he began to try to infer other cases from one instance, "Mother, you said that I use part of the profits from the canteen to hold some kind of calligraphy and painting competition every year, and buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones as prizes, okay?

"In this way, the students won't feel that we are merchants doing business, but a part of the college, and they will feel less conflicted. Is it good for Jiaren and the others?"

Before the old lady answered, he continued: "Mr. and students of the academy know that our family has good flowers. Would you like to send a few pots occasionally, so that the master can tell the students? The students must have only heard about it on weekdays and never seen it. Been here, so that they can also increase their knowledge.

"More, more! We can also prepare some tables and chairs and put them outside the cafeteria. There is an open space there. Even if you plant some ordinary flowers and plants, it would be nice to sit outside and enjoy the scenery while eating! Scholars like this kind of elegant thing, At that time, the cafeteria will not just be a place to sell food!"

Mrs. Li listened carefully to her son's words, and when she saw him dancing happily, she also laughed, "Mother doesn't understand these things, you can ask Fu Niuer. This child has a lot of ideas in his head, you two Let's discuss it."

Talking like this, the mother and son walked to the end of the field.

Wu Laojiu and the others are very worried, after all, this vegetable field will be taken care of by their family in the future.

"Let's go back first, and I'll come to visit the village chief in the evening, and try to make arrangements today, so that you can settle down and start working tomorrow," Li Laosan said.

Everyone got into the carriage and went all the way back to the town.

Jiayin woke up early and didn't see her family. Guessing that they were busy, she asked her sister-in-law to buy sticky cakes.

Wenjuan took the change and took her sister-in-law out.

Soon, I will come back with a box of sticky cakes!

Jiayin teased her sister-in-law, and they sat together under the eaves to eat.

Shui Ling also got two yuan, and ate it with a smile.

So, when Mrs. Li and the others came back from the outside, they saw under the eaves of the corridor when they entered the door, and they were afraid that there were two big and one small sitting, stretching sticky cakes and competing.

Jiayin and Shui Ling are fine, but Wenjuan is a daughter-in-law, and it is rude for her grandmother and father-in-law to see her as childish.

She blushed, and quickly stuffed the sticky cake into her mouth, choking badly.

Mrs. Li's smiling face had a few more wrinkles. She stepped forward and patted her daughter-in-law on the back, and comforted her: "What are you panicking about? We are all one family. Who can laugh at you?"

Wenjuan's face turned redder, but her heart was sweet. Grandma treated her like a child!

After a while, Zhao Yuru, Tao Hongying and others also came back.

There are quite a few rooms in the small courtyard, but with so many people living at once, it is still a bit crowded.

So, Mrs. Sun and Dazhu's wife made a fuss and went to the cafeteria to settle down tonight. They had already tidied up the place quickly.

Zhao Yuru didn't stop them either, just leaving them to have a good meal.

For a while, the women huddled in the kitchen cooking, and the men sat at the door gossiping.

The elderly and children sat under the eaves and ate sticky cakes, not to mention how lively the small yard was.

Besides, in Xincun, in the courtyard of Li's family, Li's second child had no appetite for two dishes and a bowl of white rice on the table.

It's okay for the old lady to take her sister-in-law, daughter-in-law and niece to Luo'an, but why did the eldest brother stay in the restaurant and not come back? !

He is the only one eating in this huge yard, how pitiful it is!

Even Shui Yun, Zheng He, Zheng Feng and Ye Tong gathered together in the kitchen, eating lively.

He simply found a tray, took the food, and went straight to the backyard to find Uncle Zhao and a few old men to have dinner together...

Uncle Zhao couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Laoer enter the door like this.

Uncle Wei gave Li Laoer a chair, and joked: "Why, Uncle was abandoned by the family, and no one cares about you?"

"Isn't it!" Li Er Er couldn't laugh or cry, "I suspect that my elder brother asked me to be this uncle, just to keep me as housekeeper."

Everyone laughed. Uncle Zhao deliberately opened the wine jar and shared half a bowl with each of them. He still didn't forget to tell Li Laoer, "Drink, and go to bed after drinking, otherwise the house is the quietest at night, and you will feel even worse." .”

This is speaking from experience, one must know how many long nights like this they have survived before they met the Li family.

Li Lao Er didn't want the old men to think about the sad past, so he quickly changed the topic, talking about the family's fleet coming back, and when the time came, he would take the old men to the pier by car.

Ever since the old men arrived at Suijintan, let alone go out for a walk, they rarely went to the city.

They are like loyal old yellow dogs, guarding the door of the house conscientiously, day and night, and never slack off.

Now when I heard that they went out for a walk, the old men were of course all happy, but they couldn't let go of the house, so they talked about it, and the dinner table became even more lively.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Li Laosan led Wu Laojiu's family to the village called Xiaohe outside the town.

Last night, he had already paid a visit to the head of Xiaohe Village, gave him generous gifts, and rented out [-] acres of land. He even found a yard for an old man who lived alone in the village and rented three adobe side rooms.

At this moment, Wu Laojiu's family brought bedding, pots and pans, and collected half a car, and they could go directly to the village to settle down.

Wu Jiu's sister-in-law didn't talk much, but she had a smiling face. Seeing the carriage entering the village, she was surrounded by children, so she took out the sesame candies she bought yesterday, scattered them out, and coaxed the children to run home happily.

After a while, the whole village knew that there was a newcomer.

As the village head brought his brother Tian Mancang's family to walk around, everyone heard more clearly after exchanging pleasantries.

The Li family was kind, and the tenants of the Li family shared half of the harvest except for the taxes and grain that had to be paid.

This is much better than the market price.

At least one mu of land a year, the tenant can get [-] to [-] catties of grain more, and [-] mu of land is [-] to [-] catties.

Don't underestimate the [-] catties of grain, it will be enough for a family to survive in a disaster year.

Some villagers were envious and unhappy when they heard it, and said in a sour voice, "When did this happen? Why didn't we know that the land outside the village was going to be tenanted? Such a good thing was taken by the Tian family!"

Just in time, the Bai family, the second largest family in the village, walked over at this time.

The three sons of the Bai family have all married, and no one dares to bully them in the village on weekdays.

At this moment, a villager hurried over to say a few words, and finally complained: "The Tian family has taken up all the good things, to prevent us from scrambling, secretly decided last night, and only said it this morning."
