Chapter 482 Li Simei doesn't like to talk
In the past, the family's food was all handled by the elder brother and sister-in-law, and Li Er was not so worried.
At that time, if there was anything at home, he would just listen to his elder brother. Now that the eldest brother is gone, he is the biggest one in the family, and he has to support him.
After dinner, Li Er went to find Bian Pingling to find out how much food there is at home.
Originally, I should have figured it out yesterday, but unfortunately, my sister-in-law fainted yesterday and he didn’t have the key, so it was hard to touch my sister-in-law’s cabinet directly.
Bian Pingling didn't dare to say it too much, but only talked about the amount of sweet potatoes, and the others were dried wild vegetables, pickled vegetables, etc.
"I took so many eggs today and the flour came out. My second brother wasn't angry with me, right?" After sighing, Bian Pingling said, "Your brother's story came, everyone was a little uneasy, and I was not sure. I originally thought that when your brother came back this time, everyone would have a good meal together, who would have thought..."
"Sister-in-law, you are the sister-in-law. I have nothing to say about how to eat. I just want to touch how much food there is at home to see if it can last until the autumn harvest. If it can't be over, think about what to do." Li Er lowered his head and was embarrassed to stare at his sister-in-law. "You and your brother are usually responsible for these things, but now my brother... except my brother, I am the biggest one, and I have to be responsible. Sister-in-law, don't worry, how the elder brother takes everyone to find food, my elder brother has taught me, we can definitely get through it."
"I walked in the Hall of Hell yesterday, but the King of Hell saw that our family was all small and a little pitiful, so he let me back. After walking for a while, my mind was much more clear." Bian Pingling did not intend to reveal that he had space, but how could he keep everyone hungry if he owned Baoshan?
It was faintly said that she wanted to reveal that she was different from before, and she also wanted to find some food to everyone.
"I think I might... maybe have a way to find something to eat."
Li Er was a little confused and didn't understand what his sister-in-law meant: "Can sister-in-law find something to eat?"
"Yeah." Bian Pingling nodded and said seriously, "I suddenly wanted to have a good meal today, not only to make everyone feel better, but it is actually because of this reason. Although I don't know very well now, I think it's impossible for the King of Hell to put me back for no reason. He put me back, he has to support everyone, right? He should have given me something, but I haven't figured it out yet."
Li Er understood and immediately raised his head: "Sister-in-law, are you saying that you not only met the King of Hell, but also gave you something?"
At first he thought that the eldest sister-in-law said that she almost died when she saw the King of Hell. Obviously, what the eldest sister-in-law said was two different meanings from what he understood.
"He patted my head and I felt that my mind was much clearer. Otherwise, if you think about it, I fainted yesterday and didn't even take a bowl of medicine, why did I recover from it today? Who fainted? I was completely cured after sleeping for a night?"
"My sister-in-law said something reasonable." Before, Li Er didn't think about this when she looked at the table full of food, but now her sister-in-law reminded her: No, who is wrong? She will get better after sleeping for a night?
Could it be that the King of Hell really gave something to his sister-in-law?
Bian Pingling was a little distressed: "I just don't know what the King of Hell gave me. Oh... Second brother, what arrangements do you have tomorrow? Do you still have to go up the mountain? If you go up the mountain, should you take me with you? I think I may need to take a walk more and see what the King of Hell gave me."
Although Li Er didn't quite understand what the King of Hell gave him and why he took his sister-in-law up the mountain to stroll around, he had to agree.
"But we can only walk around the periphery and can't go too far. Sister-in-law, my brother said before that there are big insects in the mountain, and it is very dangerous to go too far."
"I don't plan to enter the mountain either, just take me with you."
After the agreement was made, Bian Pingling called Li Simei, Li Liumei and Liu Cuihua in.
There were nine people in the Li family. When Li Hongyun was there, Bian Pingling and his house, other brothers and sisters, one for men, and one for women. The girls were still young, and three for three were not crowded, but five for boys were a little too crowded. Especially Li Er, Li San, and Liu Kang were all half-year-olds, and one bed was not enough to sleep, so they slept on the floor without a bed.
I really slept on the ground, covered with hay, and went in a row, just like a bunk bed, all of them slept on the ground.
Boys don’t like to be clean, so they can’t change the hay every day, and they all become lice.
Well, not only boys grow lice, but girls also grow.
Lice are very contagious. As long as one person grows up, no one else can escape.
As soon as Bian Pingling thought of her lice, she was uncomfortable all over and almost didn't feel disgusted and didn't even eat supper.
She divided the house again for everyone, a few girls and two other boys. She didn't care about how the boys were divided, anyway, they just had to do it themselves.
As for boiling water and taking a bath, she didn't dare to think about it. Whether it was firewood or water, it was hard to work and it was difficult to do. The oldest Li Er was only sixteen years old, so she was embarrassed to "rub and grind" others.
It’s OK not to take a bath, but you must wash your feet.
He had a thicker face, so he washed himself first, and the other few washed one behind her.
Li Liumei and Li Simei have a good relationship, and the two of them wash together. Liu Cuihua is the one who is rejected. If it weren't for Bian Pingling's words, she would probably not even have water for the basin.
The bed is not particularly big, but for the four girls, especially the oldest, who is only twelve years old, is not big, and can sleep horizontally.
Lying on the bed, Li Liumei talked a lot and chattered endlessly. In addition to talking about what she did during the day, she went to the gossip that I heard from other friends, that is, how delicious the egg cakes were tonight, and I don’t know when I could have another meal.
As he spoke, Bian Pingling could hear her saliva sound, as if - it would be great if she could have another meal.
Bian Pingling: "..."
Li Simei doesn't like to talk, but just occasionally agrees.
Liu Cuihua had no say at all, just worked silently and said nothing.
Bian Pingling didn't want to talk and wanted to sleep, but found that she could not adapt to such poor conditions at all. Even the chattering Li Liumei fell asleep, but she didn't fall asleep.
She could also hear Li Liumei talking in her sleep: "The eggs are delicious!"
Even dreaming about her eggs.
Bian Pingling thought, it seemed that she had to find a way to get some eggs for everyone. However, even if it was boiled eggs for each person, there were nine people in the family, and there were nine...
Otherwise, it would be better to cook egg soup like today? She didn't say the amount of eggs, she just said it was soup, and no one could tell it.
It was not until the second half of the night, when it was almost dawn that she slept in a daze for a while.
Bian Pingling was not sure how long she had slept, but she felt that she had just squinted her eyes, and something came from beside her - Liu Cuihua got up.
"Big...sister-in-law... Did I wake you up? Sorry..." Liu Cuihua said timidly.
"It's okay, why did you get up so early?" Although she was still sleepy, Bian Pingling didn't want to sleep as soon as she was woken up.
