They have colorf..."You didn't mean to Was it your sister who deliberately hit herself and turned her mouth into a rabbit's"

Li Laotai was merciless with her words, scaring the two reckless grandsons.

Homepeace and Homejoy couldn't see how badly their sister was hurt, so they thought she might really become like a rabbit and have three-lobed lips.

Their cries grew louder and louder, like the sky was falling.

Everyone in the house couldn't help but laugh, including Jia Yin. But every smile brought a pang of pain.

She's not a real child, would she hold a grudge over such a trivial matter

Then, she reached out to the two mischievous boys.

Li Lao Tai then said, "Don't cry, come here and hug your sister. Your sister is so good! Even though you dropped her like that, she doesn't get angry."

Home An and Home Joy quickly wiped their tears and ran forward.

Holding their little sister's plump body in their arms, they felt even worse.

"Grandma, we will definitely take good care of our little sister from now on."

“Yes, I'll never abandon my sister again.”

Jia Yin endured the pain and gave each of them a kiss on the face. This little commotion was over.

There's been a new development at home, and it's quite substantial.

Both young and old were happy, and the midday meal was very plentiful.

I stewed a smoked rabbit, and stir-fried some pickled pork with cabbage. I also steamed a large pot of rice and made an egg drop soup.

Jīā'ān and Jiāxǐ didn't even lift their heads.

A bowl of rice, in the blink of an eye, was gone.

Zhao Yuru quietly pushed the rice from her bowl to her son.

Little punk, eat the old man's money!

Old Lady Li was feeding her granddaughter egg custard, and she was also thinking things over in her heart.

Jiā'ān Jiāxǐ is ten years old this year, although it's a nominal age, he is actually over eight.

We always need to make plans for their future...

The family was happily playing and enjoying themselves, totally unaware that their carefree days were about to end...

At night, the whole village fell into slumber.

As always, this is the busiest time for the Li family.

It’s impossible to water the fields without manpower, so tonight only Li Laotai and her son Jia Anxi stayed home to bundle vegetables.

And there was the sweet sound of slumber, accompanying me on one side.

Watering and chopping vegetables, it's simply too tiring. This little baby is practically running on overload.

Old Li was worried about her granddaughter, who had fallen and injured herself again during the day.

So, she put the two chairs together, and they just became a little cradle. She laid a mattress in the middle, and her granddaughter was put inside, safe and comfortable.

Occasionally, when she has some free time, she can still rock a fan for her granddaughter.

Tonight, besides the vegetables, there is also a pot of cherries.

Jia'an Jiaxi chopped vegetables while drooling.

Old Li found it amusing, she picked a few cherries for her grandson to satisfy his craving.

"This thing is too precious, selling it for silver would be very useful for the family. You guys can just taste a little bit. After a few days when it rains, you can have as much as you want."

"Don't worry, we know."

"Yes, we don't cheat."

The two little boys, relieved, no longer looked at the basin.

Li Laotai couldn't help but sigh, this damned world, with natural and man-made disasters constantly occurring.

In past years, cherries were so cheap that children would lie under the trees and eat them at random.

Now it's actually a precious thing!

When Jia Yin picked cherries, she was impatient and picky. There were cherry leaves in the pot, as well as some bad fruit.

But Old Li wasn't going to be picky about cleaning.

This thing rots when it gets wet, so you have to eat it right after washing it.

For half the night, the three generations worked diligently, filling baskets with all the greens. By then, the rooster had crowed its wake-up call.

Li Lao'er and Li Lao'si also rushed back from the ground. They were going to set off immediately.

Otherwise, villagers who got up early to draw water would bump into each other.

The big mule worked very hard, so Li Laotai specially prepared a cabbage for it.

After taking a big bite, Daqing felt energized and set off with renewed vigor.

Today, because there were cherries, sales were better than yesterday.

When the sun was high in the sky, the mule cart came back.

Fourteen taels of income were taken in by Old Madam Li and put into her money box.

The whole family was filled with excitement and joy.

Silver is the lifeblood of the whole family.

They never expected that leaving their homeland and coming to a strange land would bring them such good days!

"Hongying, please steam more egg custard for lunch and cut some meat. Things have been very tiring at home lately, so eat a little better to replenish your energy!"

Li Laotai's eyes were filled with unconcealed joy, "Our family doesn't lack these things now!"

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru both smiled and replied loudly.

At lunchtime, the family ate even more deliciously, but the old men next door were completely dumbfounded.

The Li family can't make ends meet. Are they planning to eat one meal less each day

When someone thought of asking Li's family, Old Man Zhao stopped them.

He went in and out of the Li family the most, with a vague suspicion. The Li family must have some way to make money, otherwise they wouldn't be so "spendthrift".

They don't need to delve into the details, they just hope that the Li family will get better and better.

Therefore, in the evening when watering, the elderly men worked even harder.

After years of careful preservation, the saber was also taken out to guard against wild beasts from the mountains coming down to harm the crops.

For dozens of miles around, the Li family's fields were still green.

As for the rest, the mountains and forests have turned completely yellow, and all the crops in the fields are beyond saving.

Everyone was like they had swallowed a lump of lead, silent as could be.

They didn't know what to say, or even if speaking would help.

When I came to Li's house to fetch water in the morning, the courtyard was extremely quiet.

No one chattered, no one laughed.

Only the Li family was still bustling with activity.

Rest during the day, draw water at night to irrigate the crops, and pack vegetables in baskets.

Every day, I earned dozens of taels. The money flowed in like water, and within a few days, my money box was full.

The Li family's feelings were contradictory.

Longing for rain to fall from the heavens and end this drought. Secretly, I hope it lasts a few more days so that we can sell even more silver at home.

Jia Yin is also very tired, busy watering every day, chopping vegetables, and picking cherries.

Even so, I still have to think about what to cook for the family to nourish their bodies.

From the small yard's refrigerator, she took out quite a bit of meat, leaving almost only fish and shrimp.

She even had the heart to catch one of the hens from the yard.

Thankfully, the old hen from before was very helpful.

Now, there are more than forty fluffy little chicks who have joined the family.

The Li family, young and old, steamed eggs every day, fried eggs, braised meat, and braised chicken, constantly nourishing themselves. But even the strongest of them, Li Laosi, had lost a lot of weight and turned black and thin...

Thus, half a month passed.

Finally, one afternoon, a few white clouds drifted across the sky.

Everyone stared in silence, afraid to speak or even hug the woodpile to hide the jar of sauce.

An old tradition passed down through generations is that one shouldn't snatch rain.

It's like when it's about to rain, if you rush to get things done, you might scare the rain away.

Whether or not there's scientific backing, at this moment, no room for error.

The entire village was extremely quiet, silent, and heavy.

Everyone had dinner skipped, sitting in the darkness of night, silently waiting.

Finally, a bolt of lightning slashed across the sky, followed by a sudden deafening thunderclap.

Large raindrops, pitter-patter from the sky, smashing on the roof, smashing on the treetops, smashing on the parched fields!

"Waaaah, help has arrived!"

I don't know which woman first cried out, but it completely unleashed everyone's pain and ecstasy.

Under the cover of night, countless people ran out of their homes, shouting wildly in the rain.

"It's raining, it's raining!"

Some people knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically, not knowing what to be grateful for.

The little kids rushed into the water puddle and rolled around excitedly.w"Jia Yin got up, smiling with innocent confusion, and replied: "Princess, you are the Emperor's daughter, a princess of noble status. I am only a county princess, of course I must pay my respects."Bu...
