Chapter five hundred and thirty fourth stone mill

The first update is to ask for pink.

*******

The outer room was still quiet, but the curtains moved slightly.

Zhou finished crying, cursing, and being ruthless. Then he took out a big handkerchief, wiped his face loudly, and slowly calmed down.

During this period, no one in the house spoke out, and even the old man remained silent.

Lian Man'er's eyes fluttered and he looked at Zhou's face. Zhou's eyelids were a little swollen, his eyes were turbid, and covered with red blood. Lian Man'er remembered that Lian Ye'er told her that Zhou was in the room and would have such a thing from time to time. Every time he made such a fuss, Zhou would cry.

This crying is different from the crying when I used to control my son and daughter-in-law. At that time, most of the artificial ingredients were involved, but now, Zhou is really sad and crying heartbroken every time. Especially because of this time just now.

Lian Shouren mentioned Lian Huaer and said that he would go with Gu to find Lian Huaer for help, which made Zhou think of Lian Xiuer.

When Gu's daughter Lian Huaer was at home, she lived the life of a landlord's lady. The marriage was in the wealthy Song family. Song Hailong and Lian Huaer were of the same age. In order to marry Lian Huaer, the Lian family borrowed huge loans. Now the Lian family is back in a mess from Taicang, but Lian Huaer is not affected. She is still a couple and beautiful life, living the life of a rich young grandmother.

Although Lian Xiu'er, the daughter of Zhou's family, was slightly better than the other houses when she was at home, she was far inferior to Lian Hua'er. The marriage was tricked by Gu as a step to give her and Lian Shouren's wealth and wealth. She was deceived to marry an old man who was nearly 80 years old and had a large group of concubines and children. In order to save the family, Lian Xiu'er almost lost all his money. She also took care of her husband, and from then on she would be a widow for the rest of her life and be locked in a small temple to suffer.

Such a strong contrast makes Zhou not angry and heartbroken?

Moreover, Lian Xiu'er suffered in Taicang, and she had no way to save the full text. And Gu, as the culprit of Lian Xiu'er's tragedy, could rely on her daughter Lian Hua'er to continue living a happy life.

How could Zhou allow such a thing to happen?

The Zhou family and the Gu family are destined to be together and never stop until death.

Even if the Gu family has a thousand clever tricks, it is difficult to match the Zhou family's certain rules. No matter how domineering the Zhou family, the Gu family is not Zhang family. Zhao family and others will let Zhou family take care of it. Who will win in the end?

Lian Man'er didn't know the answer, she only knew that no matter who it was, she must be responsible for her behavior.

"Boss, you still have to go to this labor service." After the Zhou family became quiet, the old man spoke again, "Song family, don't talk about it again. For so many days, no one came or letters. You come to the door by yourself, what will it be like?... From now on, don't think about those things. Farm honestly and live... The Lian family's face is not much left. You have to work hard and earn your face back!"

Even the old man disagreed with Lian Shouren going to the county town to fight the autumn wind.

Lian Man'er nodded secretly. Even the old man had a thorough understanding of this matter, and this decision was considered backbone.

"Dad, I..."

Lian Shouren wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Mr. Lian's wave.

"You don't need to say anything, I know everything... Boss, Jizu, let's live a down-to-earth life."

The matter of serving labor was arranged in this way, and even the old man let everyone go.

When Lian Man'er and his wife came out of the old house, it was already dark. Zhang sent the servant Xiaofu to come over and took the lanterns to pick them up.

Xiaofu was in the front, carrying a lantern, Xiaoxi followed Lian Man'er, holding a lantern in one hand and holding Lian Man'er with the other.

Lian Man'er was holding Xiaoqi's hand.

The autumn night sky is covered with stars. The air is refreshing and clean, with the smell of a bumper harvest. The whole family is not in a hurry, just walking slowly.

With such stars and such a night, even Man'er felt her heart stretched infinitely.

Xiaoqi giggled for no reason, even Man'er was infected and laughed.

"Xiao Qi, do you have to bear it with your father?" Lian Shouxin asked Xiao Qi.

"No need, dad, I'll go with my sister." Xiaoqi said with a giggle.

On autumn nights, there is no wind, only the whisper of autumn insects. Especially after entering the yard, the chirping of crickets around them is even more vivid, and it looks particularly clear in the quiet night.

The farmers never refuse to drive away crickets entering their yards or even their houses. They believe that the arrival of crickets will bring them good luck and good harvest.

"Xiao Qi, what do you hear our crickets are called?" Lian Man'er asked Xiao Qi.

"Dry firewood and fine rice, dry firewood and fine rice." Xiaoqi replied immediately.

That’s right, the farmhouse family interprets the chirping of crickets as dry firewood and fine rice. The more crickets chirp like this, the more dry firewood and fine rice they will bring to the family, which means a richer life.

Zhang's children were still in their infancy, so he heard what Zhang said.

When several people returned home, the lights in the front hall were on. It was Zhang and Lian Zhier waiting for them to come back. After entering the front hall, Lian Man'er told Zhang and Lian Zhier about the matter of what happened just now in the old house.

"It seems that the old man has figured it out and wants to punish his uncle and Jiezu's temper." Zhang said.

"Yes, I have to stretch my lazy tendons." Even Shouxin agreed.

Mr. Lian was smart and conscious of the current affairs. When he found that his original plan was not working, the Fourth House decided to make Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi self-reliant, Mr. Lian had to change his mind.

Of course, Goro's enlightening words should also work.

To make Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi survive, they must turn them into qualified farmers. Lian Shouyi's squad is fine, but the most difficult thing is to change Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu.

This time, the best opportunity is to serve labor.

And the old man solemnly called them over, one to show their attitude, and the other to get their support.

Mr. Lian is now unable to completely control the two men, Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi. He needs Lian Shouxin, and Goro cheers him.

"My grandfather is thinking about them, but I don't know if they will appreciate it." Goro said.

...

The next day, Lian Man'er heard that Lian Shouren was sick, but when he went to the village people to serve labor, Lian Shouren still followed him on the way.

Mr. Even was arbitrary this time.

"I'd love if I could persist like this, that would be great." Lian Man'er said.

Lian Shouren, Lian Shouyi and Lian Jizu set out to serve labor, and Lian Shouli came to Lian Man'er's house in the evening.

"Fourth brother, I have something to say to me." Lian Shouli asked Lian Shouxin to speak, "Mom asked you to sell all the peanuts, so don't keep them at all. Mom said that she and our father are old and can't eat peanuts."

"Okay." Even Shuxin will naturally not agree to this request.

"Uncle San, is my milk going to use money?" Lian Man'er asked.

"Yeah." Lian Shouli nodded, "You milk said, let her buy a plate of grinding for the money for selling peanuts. If the money for selling peanuts is not enough, you can watch your milk and sell some other food. Anyway, those foods are not something you can eat."

"What do I want to grind my breasts?" Xiaoqi asked strangely.

"What kind of grinding does her breasts need?" Zhang asked.

"You need to grind the big stone, the kind that grinds the noodles." Lian Shouli said.

"What are you doing when buying it? Our family has never grind the noodles by ourselves." Lian Shouxin said.

Every month, Lian Man'er's family sent someone to deliver food to Mr. Lian and Zhou, and the rice and noodles were sent. The money for the rice and noodles was paid by Lian Man'er's family, so it was not necessary for Mr. Lian and Zhou to pay for it.

There is a ready-made mill in the town. If you grind rice and noodles yourself, you can save some money, but it will take a lot of effort. There is no animal in the house to use it.

"Our mother wants this stone mill." Lian Shouli just said.

"Then do I know, do you agree?" Lian Man'er thought about it and asked.

"When your maid said this to me, your grandfather was right in front of you. Your grandfather didn't say anything." Lian Shouli said.

After Lian Shouli left, Lian Man'er's family discussed it.

"What does his mother want to do with this stone mill?" Zhang made suspicious.

"Dad, then let's do what my breasts said?" Lian Man'er asked Lian Shouxin directly.

"Sell the peanuts first." Lian Shouxin said.

Soon, Lian Shouxin sold the 320 kilograms of peanuts that should have been given to Mr. Lian and Zhou, and the price was 3,840 cents of silver. After that, Lian Shouxin went to the old house again, and after obtaining confirmation from Zhou, he bought a plate of big stone mill for Zhou with Lian Shouli.

The stone mill was very heavy and was pulled into the old house with a mule cart. A few senior workers worked together to prepare the stone mill. According to Zhou's requirements, the stone mill was placed in the yard near the windowsill of the upper landlord's house.

Zhou looked at the stone mill and pushed it up in person. This big stone mill is not like the small stone mill used by Lian Man'er's house to make sauce blocks. This stone mill weighs about a hundred pounds. It is not easy for an adult man to rely solely on the power of his arms to push the stone mill.

Zhou used all his strength to push the stone mill, and then she nodded with satisfaction.

"You should send me the rice for this month." Zhou said to Lian Shouxin.

According to the days, there should be a few days left, but a few days earlier or later this is nothing.

"...I'll send someone to grind rice and flour when I go back, and I'll send it to you tomorrow." Lian Shouxin said.

"If you go back now, just send it to me." Zhou said, "Don't grind it."

"Don't send me ground rice and noodles in the future. Just send the sorghum directly. Someone at home grinds it." Zhou told Lian Shouxin, and then sneered at Gu who was standing at the door.

The Gu family was so excited that they fought a cold war, and suddenly seemed to be in an ice cave.
