Chapter 47: Separation of Mother and Son

was delighted. She kissed her soundly sleeping granddaughter several times and smiled."Our family is so lucky to have Fu Niu'er! Everything has been going smoothly ever since she arrived!"Hiding behi...Everyone looked over and couldn't help but praise, "The embroidery on these shoes is so beautiful!""Mom, try them on for size!""Funiu'er, look, father bought you shoes. After the New Year, we'll slowly learn to walk..." 。" Li Lao Tai's shoes were black with embroidered red plum blossoms, very delicate, even the golden stamens of the plum blossoms were clearly visible. "。She really liked it, couldn't let go of it. She tried it on for size and quickly took it off, planning to wear it on New Year's Day. 。Jia Yin also likes her shoes, even though she can't walk yet, it doesn't stop her from being happy. 。The little shoes are red, with no embroidery on the back. However, there are two butterflies sewn on the toe. 。The fabric of the butterfly's wings was unknown how to deal with, they were raised, falling on a small yellow flower, lively and vivid. 。When Lao Si's daughter and mother-in-law saw how happy they were, he felt that his more than a month of hard work hadn't been in vain. 。He took out his money pouch and handed it to his mother, “Mother, Yi and I earned a total of two ounces from our work. After buying these two pairs of shoes, we have nothing left.” 。But we were lucky, just as some wealthy family's fruits from the south were arriving and spoiled, the person in charge was in a panic. 。Seeing the fruit from our home, that official bought it all and turned it in, giving forty taels 。Those dates are for sale, some at no cost and others at over eight liang of silver, all right here. 。"

Lao Li still wanted to ask more, but seeing Wu Cuiflower running out from the side room in her cotton-padded coat, she shoved the money bag into her bosom and stopped talking. " 。Everyone tacitly got up and went about their own business. 。But Wu Cuifang ended up with nothing, hating so much that she secretly gritted her teeth. 。While others were fine, Jia Yi was her son! How could he possibly escape scrutiny In the end, Jia Yi was dragged into the side room for a thorough interrogation. 。Jiayi pushed that he had been helping the鏢 bureau with work, selling fruit was Si Shu's job. 。He didn't know, all the money he earned was spent buying shoes for his grandmother. 。Wu Cuifang punched him several times, but she didn't dare to hit him too hard out of anger. 。If she angered the old woman, this half of the Li family would probably be kicked out. 。Jia Yi's skin was tough, having run around outside twice, he became even tougher. My mother's punches meant nothing to him. 。He stomped out, taking Jiaxi and Jiangan with him to the riverbank to slide on sleds. Wu Cuifang was even more furious, jumping up and down in anger. 。For the past few days, Wu Ergou snuck back again. He didn't dare to go near Li's house, only staying at Liu's place in the village mouth. 。She sneaked a peek. It was the dead of winter, and Ergou only wore a padded suit, shivering so hard his nose ran like a river. 。I heard the casino is in debt and its enforcers are everywhere looking for him to pay back. 。If you're caught, they'll just break your hands and feet. 。Her heart was racing like a hot frying pan, and she felt so helpless. 。But we still need to figure something out, otherwise Er Gou might be finished. This is Lao Wu's family's last lifeline...The Li family members didn't know about Wu Cuifang's thoughts. They were all busy preparing for the New Year every day. 。The family has another big sum of money coming in, and the old lady is also generous. 。He called his sons into town and, in one go, bought two jars of vegetable oil, fifty kilograms of glutinous rice, and fifty kilograms of fine noodles. 。Ten kilograms of pork were also cut, and there were even seven or eight bone-in pieces, planning to have a good year. 。Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were busy as bees, grinding rice into batter to make glutinous rice cakes and deep-frying oil cakes. 。And also to make steamed red date buns with two-part flour, the kind of bun made with... 。Tao Hong is skilled with her hands, she even fried thirty strands of maltose twist! 。In the

craving-filled room, children studying could not help but drool like a river. When they returned home, they would pester their parents relentlessly.

Perhaps it was the autumn harvest and tax-paying season, so each household had saved a little. 。At this time, they were all generous and went to Li's house to ask Tao Hongying for help making fried dough sticks. 。But each household fries relatively few, almost all around ten. 。Tao Hongying simply asked each woman to bring some thin noodles and vegetable oil, and she helped them fry them together. 。Finally, everyone took home the sesame twists and the used oil from frying. 。Li didn't leave anything behind, just pure help. 。Each family felt guilty and could only send some dried vegetables, peanuts, melon seeds to Li's house again. 。Before the year even arrives, the entire village of QingShui is already filled with fragrance and bustling activity. 。Jia Yin drools all day long, but unfortunately, she can't eat anything. She can only follow her grandmother and gnaw on fruit even harder at night. 。Maybe it's because her wish was too strong, but now little teeth are starting to appear in her gums below. She's so happy that she's kicking her little feet around. 。On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li La Er and Li Lao Si went into the city together. 。Li Laosi sent New Year's gifts to Liu Biao, while Li Laoer brought two catties of meat, a basket of fruit, a smoked rabbit, and a box of snacks for Mr. Sun. 。This year's gift wasn't extravagant, but it was definitely not skimpy. 。Especially among the dozen or so farm children studying at the academy, they were already the best. 。Therefore, Mr. Sun chatted with Lao Er Li for a few more words. 。Praised Jiaren for his diligence, hard work, and talent. With this progress, he could be ready to compete next year. 。Even if a scholar's skills are slightly lacking, at least he should pass the exam and become a student first. 。Lao Er Li was overjoyed and didn't wait for Lao Si Li. He carried his son's bedding, ran home like the wind to announce the good news. 。Old Lady Li was also so happy she couldn't close her mouth, and kept patting her eldest grandson on the back with satisfaction. 。Okay, okay, from now on, when things get tough, we'll be counting on you to hold us up. 。But also don't overdo it, just do your best and don't pressure yourself too hard. 。During the Spring Festival holiday, take a good rest for a few days and read fewer books. 。"Yes, Grandma " 。"Jia Ren smiled warmly, then got up and went to the east room to see Jia Yin sleeping soundly. 。As soon as they entered the house, Jiayi came back from outside. The two brothers kept their sister company and chatted. 。"Brother, do you know that Father wrote a letter of divorce to Mother"Jia Yi hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to tell his elder brother. 。Jia Ren nodded and let out a soft sigh. 。"Speaking of it, it's still because I... " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! 。My uncle went to the academy to pester me for money. 。The fellow students in the academy haven't spared me their behind-the-scenes mockery. 。It's a good thing that most of the classmates still understand reason, and after the teacher scolded them a few times, the matter was over. 。"Jiay hate clenched his fists, "Brother, next time I see my uncle, I'll beat him up." 。"Let him never dare to go back to the academy again!"

Jia Ren waved his hand, "After all, that's our mother's younger brother. We juniors shouldn't make a move..."

If there's something, tell grandma and dad, naturally the head of the household will take care of it. 。We are the Li family, not the Wu family. 。"Jia Yi let out a sigh of frustration, nervously tugging at his collar. " 。He glanced at his little sister and reached out to touch her soft hair, envying her. 。"Little sister is so good, she's so small, she doesn't know anything. Every day she just eats, drinks, and sleeps." 。"

Jiarren is funny, and he also pats his sister's cheek.

"Who said my little sister doesn't have worries Every time we eat, she drools with envy, but she can't have any..." 。I've seen her staring at the vegetable dish several times, her eyes sparkling. 。"

Jia Yi was amused and burst into laughter, causing Jia Yin, who pretended to be asleep, to roll her eyes.

" 。She rolled over and scrambled up onto her second brother's legs, starting a saliva attack. 。Jīayì did not know his sister's thoughts, and thought she was thinking of him. He was overjoyed. 。So, he hugged his sister and walked around the room, grinning from ear to ear. 。Jiarin's eyes were filled with warmth, and he also quickly snatched his sister into a hug for a while. 。The two brothers, one refined and gentle, the other sunny and handsome, are both rare good young men. 。Jiayin leaned against their shoulders, and she was also proudly bubbling with excitement, her little face flushed. 。The almighty transmigrator wasn't stingy with her. In her past life, she was all alone. This time around, she has five brothers! Truly a blessed life. 。 autumn."Li Lao San and Li Lao Si looked at each other.When Li Laosi had a flash of inspiration, he asked."Mother, do you want to tie up the entire village and have them follow our family to tend the...
