Li Jin knew that the villagers were just being polite. If he really dragged his family to dinner, the family would not be full.
Although the price of rice in the village is cheap, only five cents per buck.
But a bucket of rice is only ten liters, twelve and a half kilograms, and a little over six kilograms.
Only enough for an adult man to eat for about ten days.
Of course, the ancient Zhuangjiahan only occasionally ate rice at noon, and at other times they ate gruel. As the name suggests, very thin and thin rice porridge.
As for why the three meals a day are not porridge, it is because Zhuang Jiahan still has to do physical work. If he is not full all the time, how can he work hard to support his family.
A few people walked to the entrance of the village together, and Li Jin said goodbye to them. Looking at the house not far away, his steps became lighter.
He didn't know that there were several brothers in his family at the moment.
Qin Muwen picked out the purse and handkerchief from the basket, and said embarrassingly, "I'll take the initiative to find you after I sew it up."
Those three brothers were the ones who came to help the boy with the work last time.
One of them heard Qin Muwen say this, and responded lightly: "Anyway, even if you send it to us, we have to send it to the town ourselves."
Qin Muwen was even more embarrassed.
"Thank you."
However, things like purses are not heavy, and their brothers who pick up the work all take turns to send one person to pick it up, and then send another person to deliver it.
Before, in order to make money, the teenager even dragged his not so heavy body to stop and go for a long time to deliver needlework to the town.
Later, his stomach was so big that he couldn't see his feet when he stood on the ground and lowered his head.
He just told these people that he had stopped needlework recently.
The young man valued the child in his womb very much, and tried his best to protect his own child.
After the child was born successfully, several brothers had eaten the egg cakes made by Li Jin, and then brought these purses to the boy.
On the one hand, I heard that Li Jin has changed a lot recently and wanted to come and see;
Everyone is brothers, and they used to deal with Qin Muwen with compassion.
He said 'poor Awen', but he wouldn't take care of him more in his actions and food.
It's like, watching the teenagers struggling in the quagmire, they feel that they are living a very happy life.
But they never dreamed that the boy just gave birth to a child.
That Li Jin actually turned the prodigal son back, took him out of the quagmire with his own hands, and carefully helped him clean up all the dirt.
Today, the young man named Xiao An (Chapter 3 came out often, crying all the time) didn't come. He was the youngest, and he was handsome. Although he was a concubine, his family's men still liked to stay with him.
Xiao An may be one of the few people who can truly treat young people.
Another guy with a thin face saw the oiled paper bag on the lower table by the head of the bed, walked over in three steps, and said, "What is this? Li Jin, who can only beat people, actually bought you candy and candied fruit. Kind of snacks!"
The money was used to buy rice and noodles, enough for a family to eat for ten days!
He felt that the person he married was a good one, but a few days ago, the child in the main house cried and wanted to eat candied fruit, and his man not only refused to buy it, but also beat the child.
Li Jin actually bought caramel and candied fruit for Awen!
Qin Muwen never expected that these brothers who had only had little dealings with each other on weekdays, and who had no more communication other than allocating needlework, would look at their own things.
Moreover, more importantly, they also uttered vicious words and abused their husbands.
Although Qin Muwen has a soft personality, it doesn't mean that he has been bullied and swallowed.
He took his things back and put them on the table. When he was angry and aggrieved, the end of his eyes had a tinge of crimson.
He had never quarreled with anyone, and after getting the things back, he didn't know how to speak for a while.
But Qin Muwen thought that he must not let these people slander A Jin.
He doesn't like these people.
"Oh, I have developed myself, and I want to distance myself from us so quickly."
Qin Muwen pursed his lips tightly, and took back all his purses: "I will deliver these needlework myself."
After a pause, he distributed two purses to each of them. It took him two hours, that is, four hours to sew six of these purses.
And he was still dragging his weak body after giving birth to a stitch by stitches.
"These are the thanks you gave me for my sewing."
One penny in a purse, and he gave these three people two pennies each, which was already considered generous.
After doing all this, he straightened up and looked at the three people, saying, "You slander my husband, I disdain to be with you, don't step into my house again!"
The brother who had flipped over Li Jin's stuff before was angered and his chest kept heaving and he said angrily, "When you give birth to a child, you will treat yourself as precious, and don't even look at what you have given birth to
The first child is a brother, Li Jin is really blind to treat you, why doesn't he beat you every day like before? "
Qin Muwen's heart twitched, he, he also wanted to have a boy for the first time.
It was probably that the Goddess of Mercy did not hear his prayers.
The other two were obviously defending their brother, not Qin Muwen.
They looked at Qin Muwen's face turning pale, and wanted to say some more sarcastic words. Anyway, their face was already torn, so they didn't care about more.
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Li Jin's clear and magnetic voice came: "Wenwen, I'm back."
The three people's words were stuck in their throats, and they didn't dare to say a word.
Although Li Jin has a good reputation recently, don't forget how he beat Qin Muwen before!
In the past, Qin Muwen could see bruises on his wrist or neck when he moved, which was really terrifying.
Li Jin entered the yard, and as soon as he put down the basket, he saw three brothers file out of the back room.
These people are very familiar, and they probably all live on the other side of the village.
It was inconvenient for the foreign man to chat with his brother at will, so Li Jin cleaned his hands, wiped them dry, and took back the paper scroll he made today.
I didn't look at a few more people and let them go.
After he entered the house, the teenager was already lying on the bed, his face turned to the wall, pretending to be sleeping.
Li Jin: "..." How stupid is this cub.
I just went out with a few brothers. If we talk happily, the young man must be very happy. Two well-behaved dimples appear on the corners of his lips, and even the cinnabar mole on his eyebrows seems to be more beautiful.
At this moment, he actually pretended to be asleep...
That must have been bullied, but he still resisted saying nothing.
Li Jin planned to make braised pork for the boy today, so he didn't buy meat buns.
He moved the cub out, which was only a few days old, and leaned over himself, leaning into the boy's ear: "Sleep?"
The boy closed his eyes and didn't dare to hum, because he was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would cry.
He is not so cowardly. He supports his weak body to cook, do housework, take care of children, and even find time to do needlework. He doesn't feel tired at all.
Qin Muwen thought, how good A Jin is now. During the day, he goes to the ground to mow the grass, go up the mountain to collect herbs, go to the town to study, and sleep lightly at night to take care of the children.
Why do those people say that A Jin is useless
At this moment, Qin Muwen suddenly felt light on his body, and he quickly opened his eyes.
It turned out that Li Jin hugged him with the quilt attached.
Qin Muwen didn't know how attractive the crimson at the end of his eyes was at the moment.
Li Jin said: "When Baozi was crying, I hugged him and coaxed him like this. Now that Baozi's brother is crying, does he have to be coaxed like this?"
Qin Muwen only felt that the blood all over his body was pouring into his head.
At this moment, he didn't have the time to take into account what those people said just now, but he just thought that Li Jin was really, really... nonsense.
He is clearly Baozi's father, where is his brother!
Li Jin looked at the boy and explained seriously, "It's just right for Baozi to be your elder brother at your age."
The boy's eyes were round, and he seemed to want to explain that the bun was really born from his stomach.
Li Jin hugged the boy a few times like shaking a bun, and said, "Are you still sad now?"
The young man shook his head, only to realize that he didn't want to cry at all.
He shook his head obediently and honestly, "It's not sad anymore."
Then Li Jin saw that the sun was getting late, so he put the steamed bun in the bed to prevent him from falling.
He dragged the boy to the kitchen.
The bottom of the chopping board was like a treasure chest. Li Jin pulled out a stool from it and let the boy sit on the side.
"I'm here to make braised pork for you. If you feel that you're not in a good mood, tell me what just happened, tell me, and I'll help you share the burden."
Li Jin thought, with the character of a young man, how could he take the initiative to enmity with others.
But the boy is probably not a little coward who swallows his voice. He just feels that there is no need to fight for many things, so he doesn't care about it at all.
Others said he was pitiful, but he felt that he was indeed pitiful compared to these people, magnanimous and peaceful, and he was not sad at all.
After all, this is the truth, no need to argue.
In other people's homes, men are all farming, but when they arrive at the boy's place, they have to grasp both farming and needlework to feed the giant baby of the original owner.
But the boy not only had no criticism, but even tried to stop Li Jin when Li Jin came to mow the grass.
Later, when Li Jin was a little bit nicer to him, he gave him all his trust.
Such people take themselves too lightly.
But he doesn't complain about the world, instead he is active every day and works hard to live.
Such a young man is extremely distressing.
Li Jin stopped talking, took out the meat and started to cut into small pieces.
He has a straight posture. I don't know if it is an illusion. The teenager always felt that Li Jin's clothes are a little small now. When Li Jin was holding the knife, he could see the bulging muscles on Li Jin's arms.
The first step in braised pork is to put sugar and oil in a cold pan, wait for the sugar cubes to melt, and then put the meat in and fry for a few minutes.
Listening to the sizzling sound in the pot, the young man slowly recounted what happened today.
He didn't say why he was angry, just like an indifferent bystander watching a farce.
Because he found out that he wouldn't lose his flesh even if he was said a few words by those people, so he would just stop interacting with them in the future.
By the time the braised pork is cooked, the story of the young man has already been told.
There was a knock on the door, and I cautiously knocked twice to stop.
It happened that Baozi woke up at this moment, and the boy hurried back to nurse the child.
Li Jin went to open the door and saw four or five children in ill-fitting clothes, or just naked, standing in front of his door.
When they saw Li Jin, the youngest child did not dare to speak and hid behind the older child.
One of the children, barely as tall as Li Jin's waist, whispered, "Uncle A Jin, have you made meat?"
