Chapter 537 Daily Life of the Li Family
Li Orion took two large wild boars to the Liang Family Restaurant at noon. The two wild boars were sold for five taels of silver.
After selling his prey, Orion Li didn't dare to stay in the county with an empty pocket.
When Li Orion came back from the county, it was already dark.
Knowing that his daughter and son had hunted four more wild boars, Li Orion beamed with joy.
Li Orion happily patted Li Feng and Li He on the shoulders, "Not bad, not bad. With the demeanor of your father and I, I can be considered a successor."
It's a pity that his two sons did not live up to expectations and did not fully inherit his strength.
When Li Orion returned home, he immediately gave the money from the wild boar to Mr. Yang, and then said cheerfully:
"Two wild boars were sold for 5 taels of silver today. The four wild boars at home, two big and two small, are worth [-] taels of silver."
Yang put the money away and was about to start dinner.
Mrs. Yang had already prepared the food. In the evening, she cooked sweet potato rice, but there were more sweet potatoes and less rice. Even so, it was a very good meal in the village.
There is a shortage of food in Dashan Village, and people in the village generally have two meals.
However, the Li family is from a good family, and everyone in the family is a strong man. They will get hungry quickly as they consume more, so Yang always cooks three meals.
The Li family are all hunters and they have no land. However, the smart and capable Yang family planted a lot of sweet potatoes and pumpkins in the nearby mountains.
Sweet potatoes and pumpkins are considered coarse grains. Orion Li has a good relationship with the Ye family. Every year, he buys some corn and rice from the Ye family and eats them with the sweet potatoes and pumpkins.
Yang didn't want to hide the fact that Li Guoer kept his personal money from her family, so she talked about it at the dinner table.
"Guo'er will get married in a year or two. From today on, Guo'er will keep [-]% of the money he earns as private money, and the rest will be handed over to the public."
"Guoer married into Peach Blossom Village alone. She is not familiar with the place. She feels confident if she brings more money."
Li He and Li Feng had known about this for a long time and didn't have much reaction. On the contrary, Li Orion was sour.
He also really wants to keep some more money for personal use, but 30 yuan per month is simply not enough.
Yang had already seen what Li Orion was thinking, and without saying anything, he just kicked him under the table.
Li Orion's feet hurt and he could only pick at the rice in the bowl in frustration.
Mrs. Yang looked at her two sons, Li Feng and Li He, and told them another piece of good news.
"Li Feng and Li He, in the first half year of your marriage and after your marriage, you were like Guo'er. You kept [-]% of the money you earned as private money for your family, and [-]% was transferred to the public house."
It’s not that Ms. Yang is holding on to the family’s money. The main reason is that her children were still young before, and with four children, there are many places where the family needs money.
Collecting all the money will, firstly, prevent them from spending money recklessly, and secondly, it will be possible to pool the money together to buy a family property.
But the old couple cannot take care of their children for a lifetime. They will eventually grow up.
We also need to teach them how to be housekeepers slowly, so that they will have their own little families in the future.
Li Feng's eyes lit up and he looked at Yang anxiously.
"Mom, are you serious? If I get married at the end of the year, I can keep [-]% of the money I earn after the summer harvest as personal money?"
Li Feng was so happy that he didn't expect that it would be his turn to be rich and wealthy.
"Yes, you two brothers are the same, but you can't go hunting risklessly for money. No matter how much money you have, it's useless when the people are gone."
"Mom, I know, I will pay attention to safety when going up the mountain."
Summer harvest will be ready in two months, and Li Feng is very happy. Li Feng happily agrees to whatever Yang says.
But now Li He and Li Orion, who had just turned 14, felt very sad. Seeing Li Feng's smile, they felt even more unhappy.
Li He was thinking in his heart, he is already 14 years old, how about getting married as soon as possible?
Yang saw through this little bastard's intention at a glance, glared at Li He, and warned:
"Li He, you brat, don't make any crooked ideas. If you dare to mess around, you will be rewarded."
Li Orion, who was sitting next to Li He, slapped him directly on the back.
"That's right, don't fail to learn well at a young age. You are still young and it is still early to get married."
"If you have a girl you like, you can tell your mother, but if you dare to mess around in private, be careful of getting beaten."
Li He said with a smile: "Mom, I go hunting in the mountains with my eldest brother and dad all day long. I don't know any girls."
"You can do whatever you want once you know each other." Li Orion was blinded by jealousy and disliked everyone.
Several people were noisy at the dinner table, and it took a long time to eat dinner.
Today it was Li Guoer's turn to wash the dishes. Before she could do anything, Li Feng and Li He stepped forward to help.
"Guo'er, you're tired today, just let me come."
"Sister, I'll come, I'll come."
The two brothers scrambled to help Li Guoer wash the dishes.
Yang glared at these two useless sons angrily and reminded:
"Guo'er, you have to take your private money to the Ye family, so don't spend it carelessly."
"Mom, I know, I have a sense of propriety."
Li Guoer responded cheerfully, but she had already made up her mind to go to town to buy things for everyone after getting the money.
Li Orion also turned a corner. His daughter would be a rich man in the future. As soon as Yang walked away, she immediately brought a cup of tea over with a flattering look on her face.
Li Guoer patted Li Orion on the shoulder and said boldly: "Dad, when I have money, I will buy you good tobacco and rice wine."
"Good girl, daddy's love for you is not in vain."
After speaking, he glanced in Yang's direction. Seeing that Yang didn't notice, the father and daughter laughed secretly.
The next day, when the sky was still gray, Li Feng came over and knocked on Li Guoer's door.
"Guo'er, it's time to get up."
Li Guoer was still in a daze at first and wanted to stay in bed for a while, but then she thought that the money she would earn in the future would be her personal money, so she immediately got up and washed up.
After breakfast, Li Guoer couldn't wait to go hunting in the mountains with Li Orion, along with Li He.
As for Li Feng, he was going to the county to sell the four wild boars he shot back yesterday.
"There are two more hills over Wild Boar Mountain. Sika deer have appeared there before. Let's go there to try our luck and see if we can hunt a few sika deer back."
Li Orion knew that his daughter had given all the animals and herbs she had hunted in the mountains to her family over the years, and he wanted to help her save more money.
When you get married in the future, you won’t be able to do it without money.
"Okay, okay, let's go hunt sika deer."
Li Guoer's eyes lit up when she heard about the sika deer. A sika deer is worth dozens of taels of silver.
Li Guoer said happily: "When I hunt the sika deer, I will buy you delicious food."
"Sister, there's also the pocket money you mentioned last time. You can't forget it."
The last time we secretly went up the mountain, everyone's pocket money was deducted by Yang for half a month. Li He only had 10 cents of pocket money this month, and he spent it as soon as he got it.
Li Guoer was very generous, "I will never forget it. I will arrange pocket money and delicious food for you."
"Buy a nice piece of fabric for each of my mother and eldest sister. Dad, your tobacco and rice wine are also indispensable."
"Good girl, daddy's love for you is not in vain."
Before they even saw the sika deer, the three of them started arranging money to sell the sika deer.
