Chapter 54 Accepting Family Transformation
Li Mingren wanted to talk to Zhao Yunlan, but Zhao Yunlan didn't want to pay attention to him, so Li Mingren could only follow him silently.
Zhao Yunlan finally got fed up: "If you want to have nothing to do, go and clean yourself up. Look at your hair. I'm afraid you have lice on your head. If I smell your smell again, it will make me panic."
When Li Mingren saw that Zhao Yunlan was finally willing to talk to him, even though he was the one who buried him, he felt happy and hurried to boil water to take a bath.
Li Mingyi originally wanted to help Li Mingren boil water, but Zhao Yunlan sent him to do other things.
Li Mingren started to fall into the fire again. Zhao Yunlan didn't go to help when he saw it, and told others not to help him.
After this time, Old Man Li and Mrs. Wang have completely trusted Zhao Yunlan, and Zhao Yunlan is very happy to do so.
Li Mingren didn't notice it and was immersed in blowing the flames. A large puff of smoke choked him and he coughed repeatedly.
Zhao Yunlan walked by: "Such a big man can't even be set on fire."
Li Mingren lowered his head in frustration.
Zhao Yunlan then said: "Pick out the ash inside, leave an empty space underneath, and try blowing it again to see!"
Li Mingren did as he was told, and after blowing it for a few times, it caught fire. He was very impressed by Zhao Yunlan.
Zhao Yunlan said expressionlessly: "Xiaobao will be able to do this job in two years. And you will definitely not have enough bath water. Go get it yourself. Don't expect others to do this work for you at home. It's your own private matter.
Solve it yourself, everyone has their own things to do, and no one will keep accommodating you now." After saying that, he patted his butt and turned around to leave.
Zhao Yunlan took several brothers and sisters to the mountains to collect firewood. The family had been away from home for many days, and there was no firewood pile at home for a long time.
When Zhao Yunlan saw that he had almost picked it up, he went home and prepared for dinner. Li Mingren had already taken a shower and looked cleaner now, but his skin was still dark and the previous robe felt a bit loose. It seemed that this time
I really suffered a lot.
In the evening, Zhao Yunlan cooked six dishes and one soup. Li Mingren felt as if he hadn't eaten in eight hundred years. He was bloated after eating and had long lost his image as a scholar.
After the family had a hearty meal, they sat in the main room and talked about the future arrangements.
Previously, Zhao Yunlan thought about building a house again after the busy farming season, but now medical treatment costs a lot of money and she has little money, so she had to change the time.
The Wang family had no objection and allowed Zhao Yunlan to arrange it.
Li Mingren wanted to say something else, but everyone agreed. Zhao Yunlan looked at him and Li Mingren shut up.
Li Mingren just wanted to ask how he wanted to build this house. He could draw a prototype in advance. After all, this was the only thing Li Mingren could do for his family at the moment.
After Zhao Yunlan had finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
Li Mingren followed Zhao Yunlan, mother and son, into the room one after the other.
Zhao Yunlan turned around and said, "I'm afraid that the lice on your head will be passed on to Xiaobao. You can get a bed and sleep on the floor." Now Zhao Yunlan spoke directly, regardless of what Li Mingren might guess.
Li Mingren nodded in response, and was still thinking of talking to Zhao Yunlan, when Zhao Yunlan asked directly: "What are your plans in the future, and when will you return to school?"
Li Mingren pursed his lips and lowered his head in silence. Just when Zhao Yunlan was about to feel sleepy, he said, "I don't want to go to school anymore. After this incident, I understand that I am really not good at studying. I don't want to go to the academy anymore. After the imperial examination,
The road is not for me."
Zhao Yunlan was speechless for a while: "It seems you haven't figured it out yet!"
Li Mingren: "Ah!"
Zhao Yunlan: "Oh shit! Starting from tomorrow, you will feed the pigs and chickens at home, pick up the firewood, wash the clothes of my father and several brothers, remove the grass in the field, and pick up the firewood."
Pick it up, it costs twice as much firewood to boil water every day. Oh! And tomorrow, write me a report on your experience of serving as a corvee, with no less than 2,000 words."
Li Mingren: "Ah!"
Zhao Yunlan was impatient: "Make your own bed to sleep, don't disturb us." She hugged Xiaobao and turned over.
After a while, only Zhao Yunlan and Xiaobao were heard snoring in harmony, and Li Mingren had no choice but to lie down on the floor.
When Zhao Yunlan got up the next day, Li Mingren was already feeding pigs in the pigsty.
Li Mingmei was standing nearby, watching this clumsy brother scooping up pig food one spoon at a time. Seeing Zhao Yunlan coming over, Li Mingren giggled, as if he was a child waiting for praise.
Zhao Yunlan glanced at it and said: "Your pig food is everywhere. You have to do some work with your hands and feet, and your eyes are darting here and there. Little sister, please don't help him get it, or else you won't have any meat to eat today."
Li Mingmei chuckled: "Sister-in-law, I'm not helping you, I'm just here to take a look."
Zhao Yunlan: "Hurry up and clean up after feeding. There is still a lot of work to do! Dad left a pile of clothes before he went to the county. Wash them out quickly after dinner."
Li Mingren responded one by one.
Li Mingyi took Li Mingzhi away after breakfast, and Wang asked them to come back for dinner when they had time.
After breakfast, Li Mingren took a basin of clothes to the river to wash. The aunt and uncle were surprised when they saw Li Mingren coming to wash clothes. The person who couldn't be called back a while ago actually started washing clothes today.
.Some old ladies even thought that they might have touched something unclean!
After all the aunts and wives went around telling each other, now everyone in the village knew that Li Mingren helped the family with the laundry, and the women's feelings about it all improved a lot.
Li Mingren was busy from morning to night. When he followed Li Mingli back from the fields in the afternoon, Zhao Yunlan reminded Li Mingren of his two thousand words of experience.
Li Mingren said helplessly: "Madam, I didn't bring a pen back this time."
I don’t know if it was because he was visiting relatives, but Li Mingren could ignite Zhao Yunlan’s fire with just a few words.
Zhao Yunlan's voice suddenly soared: "You can't think of a solution without a pen. We should still write without a pen at home. Why do you think you have so many things to do every day? Isn't it because we are not tired enough? Or do you think you have to do it today?
I was too tired from doing that much work, so I made excuses not to write."
Li Mingren shook his head repeatedly, quickly found charcoal and started writing.
At this moment, Li Mingren was like a child who was carefully making up for his homework after being discovered by the teacher that he had not finished his homework.
After Zhao Yunlan got angry, she felt much better and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner while humming a song.
Old man Li came back with the cow and saw Li Mingren squatting there and leaning on a small stool to write something. Just when he was about to go over and ask, Li Mingmei shouted from the side: "Dad, don't disturb the elder brother. My sister-in-law is calling him to write down his experience."
"
Old Li quickly took the calf to the cowshed. Some time ago, Old Li and the others went to the county, and the calf was taken away by the village chief to be fed. As soon as Old Li came back, he was eager to see the calf and urged Li Mingli to go to the village.
The elders brought the cow back. Now, like newlyweds, Old Man Li takes the cow out for a few laps every day, talks and brushes its fur. He is afraid that the cow will not be affectionate with him after being raised in someone else's house for a few days.
