illed Jia Yin's small bowl to the brim.Li Laotai was afraid her granddaughter would eat too much, so she quickly changed the subject, "Jia Yi and Liu Yang have been gone for over a month, haven't they...Tao Hongying smiled and waved her hand, comforting her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, we are family, no need to be so polite. This is a big business for you and your third brother, we all come to help. In the future, if my husband and I want to do something, won't you and your third brother watch us"

“Of course not!” Zhao Yuru quickly shook her head, causing Tao Hongying to laugh even more, “That’s right, we’re family, helping each other out is a must. Besides, in three days I have to go back to the restaurant, and I won’t even have time to help.”

Then she went to the kitchen.

Li Laotai, having nothing to do, found that whatever she did, others would rush to take over. So, she decided to accompany her granddaughter to help with picking vegetables and washing them.

Chia-Yin rolled up her sleeves, wanting to help too, but grandma stuffed two sticky cakes into her hands and shooed her to a small stool.

She just needs to be honest, keep her mouth shut, and not cause trouble, that's all the help she can offer.

Although there are no pickle jars here, there are water jars, rice jars...

Jia Yin thought that Grandma felt sorry for her and happily stretched out the sticky rice cake, eating it sweetly.

If Grandma knew the truth, she'd probably be spitting blood.

She's really been wronged deeply, not just a little! The damage goes so deep that even the basic trust between generations has been shattered.

When the sun rose overhead, Jia Ren led his younger brothers over.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw their little sister with her chubby face sitting at the door, eagerly waiting for them.

Several little boys ran over excitedly, hugging and kissing each other, laughing so hard they were almost rolling on the ground.

Old Lady Li came out of the house, shaking the water droplets from her hands and calling out to her grandsons with a smile, "I've told you so many times, Fu Niuer is growing up, she can't always be so close!"

Unfortunately, the little boys wouldn't listen at all and kept running around the courtyard with their sister.

Jiayin was still happy, but then she heard Mao'er pestering Grandma and asking, "Grandma, my sister just gained a little weight. Where did she grow up Don't worry, we don't mind that Sister is chubby!"

Jia Yin rolled her eyes, mentally cursing.

You're such a good brother, thank you for not thinking I'm fat!

After a while of commotion, the whole family sat down for a meal.

In the dining hall, two tables were set up directly. The men sat at one table, and the women at the other.

After a busy morning, Tao Hongying didn't have much energy to cook elaborate and complicated dishes. She simply simmered white cabbage tofu pork belly, braised rabbit with dried vegetables, plus cold-dressed mountain vegetables and egg drop soup.

Each table was filled with four small ceramic pots and a large pot of steamed rice.

Whether it's demolishing walls or building kang beds, even washing dishes, everything is labor-intensive. Everyone unconsciously uses their chopsticks to spear the rabbit meat.

Perhaps vying for the sweeter bite, Jia Yin gnawed on the rabbit leg with a bit more fervor.

These rabbits were all taken out of the space by her last night.

Let's be honest, tonight I have to find a few more plump rabbits to help them realize the ultimate contribution of their rabbit life - sacrificing themselves for the five organs temples of the whole family!

Soon, the dishes were wiped clean, even the soup was mixed with rice and eaten.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they refused to rest and continued working.

After all, the sooner you finish tidying up, the sooner you can open for business.

Jia Ren brought his younger brothers, tucking in their long shirts. He was also busy helping out.

Carrying sand and bricks, back and forth inside and outside the house a few times, the boys were all drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

Sun Second Brother and Dazhuang, Wu Third Uncle and the others all watched with trepidation. Several times they almost snatched the work from their hands, fearing that they might strain their arms or pull a muscle.

But Li LaoTai stopped them and supported her grandchildren helping with the work.

As a grandmother, of course she felt sorry for her grandchildren's tiredness.

But she was more afraid that the children would develop a selfish, entitled attitude without working hard. She valued gratitude over academic success, hoping her children would learn to appreciate what they had.

A family should empathize with, understand, and support each other. Only then can they go further together.

It shouldn't be a one-sided affair where one party is forced to make sacrifices and compromise for the other.

Especially Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er, they had never experienced hardship since childhood and had no idea how difficult it was to make a living.

In their short lives, apart from the blows given to them by their mother, Wang E, they had nothing but smooth sailing.

She doesn't mind letting these two grandsons experience a bit of human suffering through this opportunity!

Fortunately, even though Cat-er and Li-er were exhausted, they gritted their teeth and followed behind their older brothers without a single complaint!

Seeing that it was time for class, the boys hurriedly washed their hands and faces, then waved goodbye to their family members and dashed off.

Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying stood beside their mother-in-law, faces beaming with pride.

Tao Hongying praised, "Our children will definitely be alright in the future."

Li Laotai also had a smile on her face, but she was humble, saying, "Children need to be disciplined and educated. This is just what we say, but we can't let the boys..."

Mid-sentence, her face suddenly changed color. She stood up and strode over to the firewood pile in a single bound.

She snatched the axe from her granddaughter's hand and tossed it aside, scolding, "Grandma told you not to touch these things! Why don't you listen What if you hurt your hand What if you break your foot"

"Even if I'm not injured, being tired is no good either. At night when I go to sleep, my whole body will ache! These chores, leave them for your older brothers when they get home from school, let them do them!"

Jia Yin was actually just bored and wanted to try splitting wood, but as soon as she picked up the axe, grandma caught her.

She quickly replied, "Grandma, I want to help too!"

"Oh, oh, our little Funiu is so smart and well-behaved! She's just showing concern for her family! Grandma's granddaughter, she truly melts my heart. There's simply no more filial and understanding child in the world than our little Funiu!"

Grandmother Li held her chubby granddaughter, her face beaming with joy. Words of praise flowed from her mouth like coins without cost...

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru listened, their mouths twitching into smiles. They looked at each other, both unable to suppress a chuckle.

Okay, children should do more work and experience the hardships of life

Okay, children can't brag and they also need to be disciplined often

Originally, all of that was for the grandson. By the time it reached his granddaughter, it had completely changed!

Busy days always pass quickly, in a blink of an eye it's been three days.

Although Jia Yin hadn't skimped on bringing food and drinks from the space, every meal was laden with meat, the entire family - young and old - had still visibly lost weight.

However, the results are also evident, the canteen has finally been renovated.

It's not just that a door and two large windows were opened between the kitchen and dining hall, but also that four small study rooms were partitioned off.

This area was an open space on the east side of the courtyard, with tables and chairs arranged there, and a large sunshade set up.

There is a flowerbed around, although it doesn't have any famous flowers planted, the fence is covered with roses, and there are various colorful flowers under your feet. With the gentle breeze blowing past, it's truly a refreshing sight.

Since the small garden has been taken care of, the Li family have their lunch here.

Especially those six large parasols were specially made by Li Laosan.

The handle of the umbrella was as thick as a man's wrist, and the oiled paper canopy, when unfolded, spanned a whole zhang in diameter. It was adorned with various colors and patterns, elegant and beautiful.

Below the umbrella was a round table, with a hole in the middle. The umbrella handle was inserted into the hole, and it was enough to cover all those sitting around the table.

Whether it's shading from the sun in spring and autumn, or sheltering from the summer rain or winter snow, it can handle it all.

The boys like to run wild here, Jia Yin likes to bring a small stool and sit here eating snacks and daydreaming.

He would always bring a book with him, and during the brief free time in the afternoon or evening, he would sit here drinking tea and reading.rything in detail.Jia Ren was very serious about becoming an official. He listened attentively and asked questions if he didn't understand something.Though Jiahuan wasn't interested, he still tried ha...
