Chapter 183 Visit
In the capital, it was Mrs. Wang and her second aunt who used to do these things. Now that her second aunt is gone, it is Mrs. Wang who does it by herself. She is too busy.
Li Yu came by herself when she was at home, and her status as a nanny is okay, but after all, this is a relative of the Li family, and they are all elders, so the servants are never afraid of being careful.
It is better to bear some hard work for the mother.
This is the responsibility of the clan's wife. The clan's wife is actually very hardworking, and she seems to have a lot of power, but the affairs of the family are complicated and troublesome, and there are also people's sophistication involved in it. It is common to be blamed if it is not good. She is not a smooth and courageous woman. , can't play with this mess.
The Li family is especially strong. Women are stronger than men, so they are more difficult to get along with, but they are very united when they recognize you.
Li Yu was also raised by her grandmother according to the standards of a clan wife since she was a child. She has been doing these jobs since she was a child, and she is familiar with them.
"Aunt Seventeen, I'm Yu'er, and I'm here to see you."
"The eldest girl is here, come in quickly, the lady is in the room."
Mammy heard it, and hurried forward to open the door to welcome people in.
"Hello, Nanny Qi, I brought you rheumatism ointment, and someone will bring it to you later."
"Hey, I'm an old woman, and I'm still a girl who thinks of me, so I don't dare to be a girl. The girl has lost weight, and the person is dark, but I have to take care of it."
"Thank you Mammy, I haven't done much work recently, so I'm resting at home. I can't be idle, so come and see my aunt."
"Yu'er is here, come quickly, you just have a cup of stewed dessert."
Aunt Seventeen stood on the porch and waved to her.
"Auntie, I brought medicine and a few pieces of bacon. Brother Quan said last time that he wanted to eat the bacon and sausages I made. I brought some over. After eating, ask someone to make a sound. I'll get you some more. The pigs I raise .”
"Okay, it's hard to worry about us because you are so busy. We have everything at home. Your mother brought some over a while ago, and I haven't finished eating. Let alone the pigs we raised this time, they taste good. Is it good for sale?"
Aunt Seventeen dragged her into the house and served her snacks such as yogurt and milk rolls.
"I sent it to a restaurant for cooking, and I sent some meat to the army of several generals my father knew well, and gave it back as a gift, and kept the rest at home as a gift, and sent them around one by one."
Aunt Seventeen nodded, "You have to learn to bow your head under the eaves. It's hard to worry about your parents, and you have to suffer all kinds of grievances. It's heartbreaking for this family."
"It's okay, it will get better. Grandpa said that he will let the younger one go to school next year, and he will not be afraid if he is younger. He will go with his elder brother to relieve boredom and trouble, which is better than staying at home."
"Okay, listen to the old man, just come to pick up people, my brain hurts from making trouble at home."
Aunt Seventeen is a widow. Her husband died in the Northwest battlefield, leaving behind a son and a daughter. The older daughter is studying in school, and she is among the group of people who are being whipped for running today.
The son is a little young and hasn't entered school yet, and there are no grown men in the family. Grandpa said to let their children go to school early, fearing that they will be raised in the hands of their mother.
Li Yu talked with the elder for a while, and teased the younger brother for a while before leaving.
Then I went to two other old and weak families. There were only the elderly and half-grandchildren and widows in the family. These are the families of heroes and heroes.
gave some food to him, and looked at the work in the yard. If Li Yu could do it, he sent someone to do it, and he helped the old man repair the broken furniture.
"I'm back, let the little girl find me in the yard if you have anything to do, I'm in the school grounds during the day."
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious for me, you worry about your life and suffer."
The old lady also touched Li Yu's hand and patted it distressedly.
After saying a few words, I came out, and my stomach was full after wandering around. I ate some desserts at this one, and a la carte at that one, so I was full.
Back to the house, Grandpa Li pointed to a pile of things, "Leizi waited until you didn't come back for a long time before leaving."
"I have something to say."
"No, I want to talk to you, I brought you snacks and the wood you wanted."
Li Yu is going to make a model, and there are quite a lot of wooden blocks in the box, and Gu Lei often finds a bunch of them back.
"I'll go to the widows, old and weak families to visit and see if there's any work to do."
"It's time to visit often. The old, the weak, and the weak, we don't know what happens if we don't go. You can help your mother think about it. Your mother is working too hard. She is the only one at home."
The second aunt also helped in the past, but now there are no other people, and it is the uncles and grandma who insist on doing it, even half-grown girls.
"I'll go to the shop tomorrow to have a look. I'm thinking of getting some drinks for the steward and going over to see if there is any other work for the family."
"You go, your brother accompanied the Night King on patrol, and it will take several days before he comes back."
"Okay, in a few days I'll go to the carpentry workshop, and I'll ask them to hurry up and make a few waterwheels to come out. I'm going to press them for the surrounding refugee villages, so that they don't have water. It's a gift from our family. I'll wait for my brother later. Come back and let him show up and run an errand for me."
This is to make face for the elder brother. Can he represent the eldest son and grandson of the Li family on behalf of the eldest brother?
"OK."
"I smoked the brat today."
Grandpa Li laughed out loud, "If you don't do well in class, you made a mistake again. Thank you Master for your gentle and persuasive way of teaching. Our children are all wolf cubs, so they have to be cruel. You should keep an eye on them and tighten your grip."
The children of the Li family are full of wildness. In the past, the second uncle personally taught them, and they also started playing directly.
Master Xie is a literati, and they are all hands-on. To the children of the Li family, this is just tickling, and it is not considered punishment.
"I also think Mr. Xie is too gentle, can you do it?"
"Trust me, it can be done. You come to fight and he comes to teach. It's just right. It doesn't matter whether you just fight or not teach. It's even more troublesome if you get skinned. You have to correct your mistakes."
Grandpa Li said with a smile that teaching children should pay attention to methods, not brute force.
"Listen to you."
After having a conversation with grandpa, telling the old man what he wanted to do, and asking the old man to give some pointers, Li Yu became more accurate in his mind.
"Grandpa, my father has taken away all the horses in the racecourse, and I don't keep some for the family. They are useless for training. Whether to buy some more horses will cost money everywhere."
Li Yu knows how to settle accounts, and as soon as he thinks about it, he knows how difficult it is for his parents to support a big family.
There are more than 500 people in his family, and they all have to eat.
"Slow down first."
"How about I go and talk to the Du family?"
Li Yu thought of the Du family.
Grandpa Li shook his head and straightened his face, "Yu'er, we can't do this, so what's the difference between us and that general soldier, all the way. The racecourse was snatched back by you and your brothers, so it makes sense for him to send you. But if you send the horse again It’s not suitable, you have to have a bottom line in life, and you can’t cross the bottom line, let’s buy it ourselves.”
"Okay, then I will wait for the ship to come back after a while and get some money so I can buy horses."
Li Yu immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake. If he can't form a habit of using the Du family as a money pot, then he will be cheating.
