Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 38 The Li Family’s Stirring Stick

 “Ah!” The good news was particularly clear this time.

The old lady then picked up the hot water bottle. She was also smart, and after playing with it a few times, she understood that it was filled with water.

 Thinking again of my eldest grandson’s frostbitten toes, I quickly got off the ground.

 After a while, she came back with a warm water bag.

“Grandma’s good granddaughter, this is such a treasure! Your brother won’t have to suffer from the cold anymore!”

 Dancing with joy at the good news, a good beginning is half the success.

With this hot water bottle as a test, at least grandma won’t be too surprised if I take things out of the space in the future.

 Slowly, maybe he will become a good helper to help her cover up.

Old Mrs. Li didn’t know that her granddaughter had been thinking about it for so long, so she found a sewing basket and sewed a cover for the hot water bottle.

 This is a treasure that my granddaughter found. No one can see it.

Don't cause trouble for your eldest grandson, and don't cause trouble for the family. After all, there are many jealous bad people out there.

 Early the next morning, the whole family got up early and got busy.

 Children from ordinary families generally don’t do anything extravagantly for a hundred days.

But good news is the treasure of the whole family, so it should be lively. Setting up a table with sumptuous food and drinks is a must, and everyone has even prepared gifts.

Zhao Yuru is best at needlework. What she gave to Jiayin was a small rabbit fur hat.

There are two round eyes embedded in the front of the hat, and a little bit of rabbit tail is sewn on the back, which makes it look particularly vivid.

Jiayin liked it very much. He grabbed the hat and put it on his head with a loud noise. His movements were clumsy and cute, making everyone laugh.

Jia An Jiaxi also quickly took out the gifts he had carefully prepared. They were a pony and a tiger cub that they had made out of straw, which were lifelike.

It’s hard for them to study hard enough to make such elaborate gadgets.

Li Laosan's gift was a bit bigger. It was a wooden horse carved by himself. He said that when the good news got louder, he could ride it by himself.

Li Laoer gave him two red strings and two silver beads.

One is engraved with "No Taboos" and the other is engraved with "Good Luck and Good Luck", which are most suitable for children who have been born for a hundred days to wear on their wrists to seek good luck.

Tao Hongying hugged the good news and thanked everyone with a smile.

It’s just that in this round of gifts, Wu Cuihua was the only one missing.

Jiaren was feeling strange, and when he looked around, he realized that his mother was actually hiding aside and grabbing food from An Jiaxi!

 “Mom! What are you doing!” Jiaren’s face turned red with embarrassment and he stepped forward to pull her away.

Unexpectedly, Wu Cuihua shook her hand away and rolled her eyes at him.

“I’ve spent my life raising you for nothing! It’s good for you. You only have a few dollars in your pocket and you’re still thinking about the people in the next room. I didn’t see you buying me a snack to honor my mother!”

Jiaren choked up at these words, thinking of his father who was anxious to make money for him to study, and even his younger brother Jiayi who had gone south to work as a escort.

 In the whole family, I am the only one who makes me worry the most, which makes no sense at all...

 After a busy day, the whole family rested comfortably and got up again to send Jiaren back to the academy.

Mrs. Li deliberately avoided Wu Cuihua and quietly called her eldest grandson to come into the house.

Jiaren didn't dare to be negligent. He guessed that grandma might have something to give him, so he asked, "Grandma, is there something wrong?"

Jiayin was lying on the bed practicing turning over, and maybe she was a little excited. One by one, she forgot to get too close to the edge of the Kang and almost fell down.

Jiaren rushed forward, picked up his sister, and smiled helplessly, "Naughty little girl!"

Mrs. Li was also startled and quickly picked up her granddaughter. She was relieved when she saw that she was kicking her hands and feet happily and did not look scared. She took out the hot water bottle from under the quilt and stuffed it into Jiaren's arms.

"Try it, this thing is really hot. Take it to the academy, put one in your arms to keep warm, and the other under your feet. Then you won't be afraid of getting frostbite again."

 The warmth in his arms at home made him smile in surprise and asked.

 “Milk, what is this and where does it come from? It’s so warm!”

Mrs. Li glanced out the window warily, quietly pursed her lips toward Jiayin, and whispered instructions.

"This is a treasure your sister received from the gods. You must not let outsiders see it and use it secretly. Do you understand? Especially your mother. She can't keep secrets with her mouth and can easily get into trouble."

Jiaren quickly nodded solemnly, "Nai, don't worry, I understand."

“As long as you know what’s going on, grandma can trust you.”

Orange Mrs. Li patted her grandson on the shoulder, still a little reluctant to let him endure hardship.

 Even though my family is a little poorer, I can always have enough food and clothing, but the academy is still inconvenient after all.

Jiaren guessed what grandma was thinking and mentioned some good things in the college, such as the teacher's praise and the interesting classmates, which made the old lady smile again, and then he gave up.

After hearing the good news, he took out seven or eight more eggs that had been cooked in the space.

Old Mrs. Li almost crushed the egg when she turned around, but when she could see clearly, she kissed her granddaughter hard.

“Grandma’s Fu Niuer, why are you so loved by others? When your brother grows up and becomes an official, he will support you and buy you delicious food!”

As she spoke, she gave Jiaren all the eggs.

Jiaren thought grandma had gotten up early to cook it secretly, so she accepted it after refusing.

After breakfast and saying goodbye to his family, Li Jiaren carried his luggage and set foot on the road back to the academy alone.

 Unexpectedly, he had just left the village and saw Wu Cuihua sitting on the roadside.

“Mom, why are you sitting here when it’s so cold?” Li Jiaren was startled and was about to step forward to help her.

Wu Cuihua directly stretched out her hand, "Bring it here!"

Li Jiaren subconsciously thought of the water bag given by grandma, so he turned sideways and asked, "What do you want, mother?"

"What else can there be? Don't think I don't know. The old lady secretly pulled you into the house just now. She must have given you a lot of money, right? Bring it quickly and I will give it to your uncle!"

Wu Cuihua was annoyed when she saw her son pretending to be stupid, so she stepped forward and tried to pull away his son's baggage.

"Why are you so heartless? Your uncle is out there without food or water, living a miserable life that is worse than a pig or a dog. It would be better for you, you obviously have money but you don't want to help, and you have to hide it!"

 Her mouth was not idle and she kept cursing.

“You Li family are also hard-hearted. In such a big yard and empty rooms, no one is willing to take in your uncle. You are a bunch of heartless things!”

 “Mom, stop messing around!”

Li Jiaren tried hard to break away from his mother's pull, thinking that the hot water bottle could not be seen by her, and his tone became worse and worse.

Wu Cuihua almost tripped and fell even more furiously. Her son, who had always been obedient, dared to scold her. It was really shocking.

"Oh, you have the guts to act rude in front of me after two days of studying, right? Even if you become a scholar, you are the one who gave birth to me! Take out the money quickly, and when your uncle gets rich in the future, I will let you He gives it back to you!”

Jiaren was so angry that his temples were pounding, and he suppressed his anger and persuaded.

"Mom, my uncle is very handy. As long as he works hard, it will be enough to support himself. Our family is not rich, so we don't have the energy to help him. Besides, grandma didn't give me any money at all. I only have a few dozen pennies for pocket money, so I can't give it to you! "
