The Sickly General’s Spoiled Wife Has Space

   Chapter 282 They are not afraid of suffering

  Lin Chai knew that his daughter-in-law couldn't do the tofu workshop.

   He will not despise his daughter-in-law because of this.

  When his family was poor and he stuttered, his wife did not dislike him.

   He thought, what kind of work will he have in the future, he will do more work, and if he does two people's work, it will make his daughter-in-law easier.

   So Lin Chai decided to go home and not say this.

  …

   When Lin Chai returned home, Mr. He was picking up sun-dried corn cobs in the yard.

   Sun-dried corn on the cob is great for a fire.

   She is going to make dinner.

  She counted the time, Lin Chai can have dinner when he comes back.

   At this moment, Lin Chai came back, he naturally took the basket in He's hand, and then gave the five cents of money to He with the other hand.

   "This is earned today."

   Coming back from the fields every day these few days, Lin Chai carefully took the five cents and waited to give it to his wife when he returned home.

   When Mr. He got the money, a faint smile appeared on his face, "Have you been working hard today?"

  Lin Chai shook his head, "No...not hard."

   In fact, I don’t feel tired when I hold the money.

   He also wanted to make things better at home.

   He looked at Lin Chai with a distressed look in his eyes.

   How can you not be tired.

   It's just that he didn't want her to worry, so she pretended not to know.

   "You take a rest, I'll cook and have dinner in a while."

   "I came back earlier today."

  Lin Chai whispered: "The work in the field is finished, so I don't need to go tomorrow."

   He actually wanted to do more and earn more.

  Lin Chai didn't dare to look at He's expression, because he was afraid that He's mood would be low.

   Mr. He said with a smile: "This is just right, you can take a break at home, do this every day, and don't get tired."

   "And I've already made a lot of money. I save a lot. We also cut a pound of meat to eat and make dumplings during the Chinese New Year."

   Mr. He also learned to make dumplings with his neighbor, Aunt Liu.

  Many people in the village followed Shen Qiuhua to learn at first. After they learned it, the neighbors taught each other and they all made dumplings.

   But Lin Chai's family is poor, and He's can save if he can.

   In summer, the wheat was harvested and the flour came out, so she was reluctant to make dumplings with white bread.

   She also made wild vegetable dumplings with coarse bread only once.

  Lin Chai and his three sons said it was delicious.

   But even if it’s thick noodles, Ho’s family has to calculate, enough for their family to eat for a year, and they can’t make them often.

   She thought about making dumplings with white noodles to eat after the Chinese New Year.

  Lin Chai looked at He's smiling face, and laughed, "Yeah."

  Lin Chai wanted to help Mr. He make a fire and cook. Mrs. He urged him to go back to the house to rest, "You rest quickly, our family depends on you alone. If you are tired, it is not worth it."

   The three sons are still young and can't help much.

   At this time, the three sons of the Ho family came back.

   "Mother, look, what did we bring back?"

  He's eldest son had a bundle of firewood tied behind his back, the second son was carrying things in his clothes, and the third son followed behind.

   Mr. He hurriedly came out of the stove, "What did you bring?"

   "Mother, look."

   When Mr. He saw that it was an egg, she became excited and her voice trembled, "This is a wild egg? Where did you find it?"

  He counted six wild eggs in total.

   "Mother, we found it in the back mountain. Big brother took us to chop wood. We found it under a tree."

  He touched the heads of his three sons happily, "Okay, that's nice."

  He's eldest son was ten years old. He said, "Mother, we use eggs to hatch and grow up. If we can lay eggs again, we can sell them for money."

   He knew that Su Er’s grandmother’s house collected eggs and duck eggs.

   But their family used to have a hen that laid eggs, and my mother managed to save a little, thinking about selling it.

   But also set aside a few for hatching chicks.

   But the chicks hatched, and only two came out, one rooster and one hen.

  The rooster grew up, and his mother sold it to Grandma Su Er, but the hen continued to lay eggs.

  There are only two hens laying eggs at home, so it is not so easy to save eggs to make money.

   Mr. He carefully took out the six eggs and put them in the small basket next to them, and said, "This egg, let's eat it tonight, and make egg and vegetable soup for you. With the remaining five eggs, let's hatch the chicks."

   The wild eggs that her sons have worked so hard to find, she always has to make some food for her sons, and can't use them all to hatch chicks.

  Although the family is poor, Mr. He does not want to treat his sons too badly.

   "Ow, there's egg soup tonight."

  He's youngest son is five years old and a little excited.

   Mr. He laughed and said to his eldest son, "Put down the firewood, wash your hands, and prepare to eat later."

  He's eldest son said, "Mother, I'll help you make a fire."

  Children from poor families have long been in charge, and He's three sons are very sensible.

  The eldest son and the second son help out on weekdays. Although they don’t do much, they are trying their best to help.

  After the autumn harvest and the busy farming season is over, they thought about chopping firewood, saving more firewood, and something to burn in winter.

   I didn't expect to find an egg at the foot of the back mountain.

   This is an unexpected gain for the He family, and the whole family is very happy.

   In the evening, I ate whole grain cakes and drank egg and vegetable soup, all of which were very satisfying.

  …

  Li Dazhuang went home and quickly gave the money to his grandma.

  It is still his grandma who manages the money.

   Mrs. Li carefully wrapped the money in a piece of cloth and put it away.

   "Are you tired these days?"

  Li Dazhuang shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, I can make money and feel at ease."

  Li Dazhuang is not afraid of suffering, but he is afraid of having nothing to do.

   Mrs. Li patted Li Dazhuang on the shoulder, "I heard that your second uncle Su's house is going to build a big tofu shop, didn't you say anything else?"

"said."

  The old lady said: "They should also need to employ people. You have performed well recently. They can see that they may even use you to work in the tofu shop."

  The old lady is old and can see everything clearly.

  Li Dazhuang shook his head and said, "Grandma, Second Uncle Su said that Tofu Factory employs women from our village to work, not men."

  The old lady was stunned for a while, and then said with some regret: "It turns out that, but your second uncle Su is a good person. This is convenient for many people in the village."

   "It's really a good thing for a lot of people."

   "If you can find work at their house, grandma will be relieved."

   "It's just that your sister is still young, or you can go to work in the tofu workshop, and if your sister is older, she can work."

  The old lady sees a lot of things in the long term.

   Li Erying heard this and said, "Grandma, I'm not afraid of hardship, I have the strength, I can go to work in the tofu workshop."

  Li Erying knew the conditions of the family. Grandma's health was getting worse and worse, and she was a little trembling when she walked, but she was still taking care of the family.

   She looked distressed, and she wished she could make money for the family like her brother.

  The old lady said: "You are still young, they will not use you."

  The old lady looked at Li Dazhuang and said, "Didn't you play with Su San when you were young? Look at him to see if there is anything he needs help with. You can do it, and do it even if you don't want any money."
