Chapter 292: One Must Not Show Favoritism!

ertainly worthy of being Li family's eldest grandson's wife, and she would also be a good choice for the future mistress of the household.It's a common saying that those who can't get grapes say they...Early the next morning, Li Lao Si rushed to get a mule cart. The cart was lined with thick old quilts. Li Laotai and Jia Yin sat inside, wrapped in another blanket.

Jia Yin was held in her grandma's arms, only showing a chubby little face. Her adorable look made everyone want to pinch her chubby cheeks.

Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer and others stood at the door, seeing off the mule cart as it drove away. Li Zhensheng then said, "Laoer, you've worked hard at home these past few days. I'm going into town to take care of some business and will buy a carriage on the way back."

"Alright, big brother. Take Jia Yi and Liu Yang with you. If anything happens, just ask them to run errands for you. Don't go out yourself. If you run into someone who's not looking out for themselves, you might get taken advantage of."

Li Lao'er gave a few more instructions, which made Li Zhensheng pat him on the shoulder and smile: "My little rice girl is really grown up, so careful and thorough in everything she does."

Li Lao'er quickly looked around, blushing. "Brother, I'm over thirty years old! Why do you still call me by my childhood nickname You're busy, I'll go to the mountain valley."

After finishing his words, he fled in a panic, followed by the laughter of his older brother.

But Li Zhensheng smiled as he listened. When entering the city again, he indeed brought along Jia Yi and Liu Yang.

The two boys were full of energy, wishing they could poke a hole in the sky. They usually did odd jobs everywhere and had been restless for a long time.

Now that I'm following my uncle into the city, I can see the excitement and eat delicious food, of course I'm happy.

While Jia Yin, Li Lao Tai, and Li Lao Si were also at ease in Lu'an.

As they approached Luan, Jia Yin started to clamor and sat on the cart's axle. She then secretly took out a hundred or so cabbages, a large pile of red and white radishes, some yellow cucumbers, a basket of fruits and a basket of pears, another basket of dates, fifteen dead rabbits, and a basket of chicken and duck eggs.

The mule pulling the cart suddenly began to struggle, causing both Li Lao Tai and Li Lao Si to turn back and look. Needless to say, they were startled again.

But these two years, there were times when they would be startled like this. The mother and daughter were forced to get used to it.

At that moment, they silently turned their heads together, without uttering a word.

And Jiayin, nestled in the old woman's arms, had already fallen asleep, even snoozing softly, as innocent and sweet as could be.

"Lee Lao Tai, fuming, lightly tapped her forehead. 'You little brat,' she said, 'if I ever die of fright because of you, you'll finally be honest.'"

Jia Yin shrank her neck further, pretending to sleep.

The old woman was afraid of the cold wind, so she quickly unbuttoned her big coat and hugged her granddaughter closer to her chest.

When they saw their mother coming, Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru were overjoyed.

There weren't many people on the street right now, it was very quiet. The food stalls over there were bustling, so it was inevitable that they attracted curious glances and greetings from neighbors.

The old woman enthusiastically took out fruit and pears and offered them to her neighbors for a taste.

The neighbors weren't polite either, taking a bite and giving a thumbs up.

Seeing the cabbages on the carriage, so green and fresh, and the radishes so crisp, I couldn't help but envy them.

After a while, the academy let out for the day. Jia Ren led Li Ge'er, with Gou Sheng trailing behind them. The three chatted and laughed as they walked home.

Seeing the old woman standing at the door, the three of them were surprised and quickly ran over.

"Grandma, Grandma!"

"Oh," the old woman happily patted this and hugged that, leading them to the backyard. "Grandma brought you some delicious food!"

Young and old gathered together, nibbling on fruit and chatting idly, the scene was lively beyond compare.

Li Laosì, with his sleeves rolled up, was greeting the students who came to eat. After the peak period finally passed, he couldn't help but say to Li Laosan: "Third Brother, your work here is really hard! It's even more tiring than farming. Why don't you find two people in the village to help"

Li Laosan's younger brother felt sorry for him, and smiled even more guilelessly.

"No, we can still manage. You guys are not having it easy at home either. Besides, there's still a month left, and then the academy goes on holiday, and we'll be back home."

Three or four days passed in a blink of an eye, and the old lady started to miss her home again. She began making preparations to go back.

Li Laosan's family and Jiaren, Li Geer were all reluctant to part ways. But thinking about the upcoming holiday, their hearts felt much lighter.

Coming, it was a family of three, going back it was still a family of three. Of course, this surprise shouldn't be shown differently to each person.

Then, after leaving Kyoto, there were still ten or so miles to reach Suijin Beach. Jia Yin quietly put two fat pigs in front of the donkey cart again.

Li Lao Si was taken aback for a moment, then drew out a firewood axe hidden under his cart board and immediately darted out, kicking down one with his foot and chopping down another with his blade.

Two plump pigs, still dazed at the ends, were swiftly dealt with.

The old woman woke up, and her son was already running back with a grin, pulling the rope to tie the big fat pig.

She hurriedly lowered her head to look at her granddaughter, who buried her face in the blanket, like a silly little rabbit nestled in a snowdrift.

She was both exasperated and amused, giving her granddaughter a swat on the bottom before hopping down to help her son.

Soon, the mule cart continued on its way, but the mother and daughter kept looking back at the two fat pigs on the carriage board, both a little worried.

These days, even wealthy households can't afford to feed their pigs much grain. As a result, a pig that grows to over a hundred pounds is considered quite large.

But the two pigs on this truck weighed at least over two hundred pounds each. They were so fat that they could barely move, as if oil would drip out of them. And they were round and plump, with big heads and ears, and their bodies were sleek and smooth. They were completely different from those locally raised black pigs with pot bellies!

How can we deceive the crowd

Seeing the gold-plated beach just ahead, the mother and daughter quickly agreed on a story. They said they encountered someone moving house along the way, and these two pigs were inconvenient to transport, so they bought them.

Good words are hidden in grandma's arms. Hearing this, Jiayin wishes she could slap herself twice.

Why would I only think about eating them and not at all consider letting some breed, improving the pig breeds of this time

She secretly glanced at the dead sow, clearly it was no longer able to "bear children."

She hardened her heart and put a boar and sow on the cart again.

As it turned out, Li Lao Er and his men just happened to spot the mule cart from afar and came out of the wooden hut.

Before they could greet them, the two of them suddenly saw the "Pig Couple" from a thousand worlds and excitedly jumped out of the cart, shouting happily and running around.

"Oh my, where did that big fat pig come from Catch it quickly!"

"Oh dear, he's run off! Quick, catch him!"

Old Li and Li Lao Si originally thought the two pigs had run away from the car. When they figured out what happened, Li Lao Si also ran to catch the pigs, leaving Old Li holding her silly granddaughter who was giggling, frustrated and angry.

A perfectly good welcome party had turned into a pig-catching competition.

Everyone was amazed to see such a plump and white pig.

Half joking, half serious, we laughed and chatted for a long time before finally catching the couple. We tied them up with ropes and led them away.

Then there were two more heads on the mule cart, and everyone was even happier. They all chattered excitedly, asking where they could buy good pigs.

Li Laosi hurriedly recounted the agreed-upon excuse, and the villagers still felt sorry for the half-dead sow.

"The fourth brother was too heavy-handed. Such a good sow should be kept for breeding."

"That's not a problem, we still have three heads left, enough! This one must be destined to die. Let's hurry back to the village, clean up the blood, and come to my house for a pig slaughter feast tonight."ou after hearing that you made a name for yourself at the poetry competition today.”In a while, we're going back to Suijin Beach. It's not easy for you all to get together like this. If you don't have...
