With the help of Li Yuezhu and Xiao An, the wheat in the field was quickly harvested.

Uncle Tiezhu even took the initiative to come over and help.

"After eating a lot of your food, it's finally time to help." Uncle Tiezhu said while bundling wheat.

Mrs. Zhou was still a little confused. She also wondered when she gave him food.

Uncle Tiezhu, who was helping at the side, looked at Mrs. Zhou's strange look and laughed and said, "She's not your bamboo girl. She's such a clever girl. She must not have told you. The first two times she rode in my ox cart were left for you."

I gave my mother a bag of snacks and a handful of apricots, and she was worried about it and sent me over to help you."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she immediately smiled. Zhu'er handled things very appropriately: "Just keep the things I gave to my aunt. Folks from the countryside are not so particular."

"How can this be done? Everyone is having a hard time. I only have the strength to help. I will do whatever I can to help."

With the help of Uncle Tiezhu, the wheat was shipped home before the sun went down.

He piled the wheat in the corner. Uncle Tiezhu came in, took a sip of tea and drove the oxcart away. Li Yuezhu stuffed a bag of fried peanuts into Uncle Tiezhu's oxcart before he left. He also benefited from Uncle Tiezhu's help today.

, otherwise the four of them would have been busy till late.

After sending Uncle Tiezhu away, Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to start a fire to cook, but she saw the boiled lotus roots, cut radishes, and something dark soaked in water on the other side. She didn't know what it was.

"Zhu'er, Zhu'er, what are you going to cook?" Mrs. Zhou shouted in the kitchen at the top of her lungs.

Today is Zhou's birthday, I don't know if she still remembers it.

"Hey, mother, I'll be here soon."

In the morning, Li Yuezhu made preparations for the afternoon. She bought some ingredients and seasonings from the shopping system, including some dried black fungus and mushrooms. Today she also killed another chicken and stewed the mushrooms.

"Mom, let me cook the food tonight."

"You little girl, go play with your brother. You have been busy with your mother all day today, so you also go to the well to wash yourself."

Li Yuezhu looked at her mother's stubborn look and grinned: "Mom, do you know how to make these ingredients? You are the one who should freshen up. You have forgotten that today is your birthday so quickly. Go and dress up.

Let’s have dinner together later.”

Mrs. Zhou was pushed out of the room by Li Yuezhu, with a smile on her lips. Nothing made her happier than her children being sensible and filial.

The brother was slaughtering the chicken at the door. Li Yuezhu boiled a pot of water in the kitchen and called Xiao An to come over and pluck the chicken feathers.

Stir-fry the lotus roots over high heat, take out the oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and a bag of sugar you just bought, put these ingredients in a jar, wrap them all and throw them into the fire.

I mixed a red radish with sugar and left some shredded radish to prepare the black fungus.

My brother came in with the prepared chicken from outside, chopped it into pieces and put it in a basin.

The stewed mushrooms with shiitake mushrooms was quickly prepared. Li Yuezhu finally heated up the steamed buns made in the morning and brought these hearty dishes to the table.

Xiao An couldn't wait anymore. At such a young age, after working for another whole afternoon, he was already so tired that his chest was touching his back.

"Mom, have you packed up? It's time to eat."

"Hey, that's good."

After their mother came out, Li Yuezhu and Li Yuelan's eyes lit up. Today, their mother wore a slightly newer sapphire-colored cotton gown, a flying cloud bun, and a wooden hairpin given to her by her brother. She was smiling.

What a beauty.

"Mom is so beautifully dressed today."

"Yes, mother, you should have dressed up like this a long time ago."

Zhou glanced at Li Yuelan and Li Yuezhu angrily, "You are already grown up, how can you love beauty so much and be gossiped about?"

"Who dares to laugh at you? Look at your appearance now. Even if you say you are a young lady who has not yet left the government, some people will believe you." Li Yuezhu covered her mouth and said with a snicker.

"You are the only one with a sweet mouth."

"Mother is so beautiful, and Xiao An also has a sweet mouth." Xiao An raised her head, stood next to Mr. Zhou, and said loudly with her round eyes wide open.

"Okay, okay, Xiao An's mouth is also sweet."

A family of four gathered around the table, eating the meal cooked by Li Yuezhu. Mrs. Zhou looked at the delicious and delicious food on the table and frowned, while her brother sitting aside remained calm.

It seemed that only Xiao An ate the most delicious food. Xiao An was also very busy today. He lit the fire for his sister in the morning and harvested wheat in the afternoon.

Mrs. Zhou held Xiao An in her arms, hugged him gently, and soon fell asleep.

"Look, Xiao An is sleepy. He is exhausted today. Mother is waiting. Zhu'er also prepared a gift for mother today."

After Li Yuezhu finished speaking, he ran into the room, took out a gray cloth bundle from under the bed, and walked back to the table.

She first dug through the gray cloth bag, took out a small box, and handed it to Mrs. Zhou.

"I don't know if my mother will like it. Let's open it and take a look."

Zhou glanced at Li Yuezhu, who looked expectant, and then looked down at the small box carved from wood.

Slowly opening it, it turned out to be a pair of white jade earrings. Zhou quickly closed the lid and asked Li Yuezhu with a frown: "Zhu'er, tell me the truth, what are you doing these days? The vegetables you bought from the county town,

And such precious earrings, how can a little girl like you afford them?"

However, Li Yuezhu seemed calm and composed. She had wanted to confess to her mother and brother for a long time, but she had never found the opportunity. If she wanted to improve her family's life, sooner or later, what she had in her hands would be exposed. Instead of being exposed by her mother and brother,

If you have doubts, it’s better to take the initiative.

"I originally planned to explain this matter clearly to my mother and brother." Li Yuezhu glanced at his brother who remained calm.

"Today Zhu'er not only prepared a gift for mother, but also bought a shirt for brother." Li Yuezhu untied the gray cloth bag and revealed the thin blue cotton gown inside.

Zhou and Li Yuelan, however, looked at Li Yuezhu motionless, as if she would not change the topic until she made it clear.

"Okay, okay, I know you have doubts in your hearts, I will tell you now."

Li Yuezhu pondered for a moment, then took something out of his arms and took out a rectangular wooden box. The wooden box looked much more advanced than the box Li Yuezhu gave to his mother just now. There were many patterns carved on it, and you could tell at a glance what was inside.

It must contain a valuable treasure.

"The gift originally prepared for mother was not that pair of earrings, but this." Li Yuezhu did not hand the box to her mother, but to her brother who was calm and collected.

Li Yuelan could tell that the box was made of sandalwood, and even this small box was worth dozens of taels of silver.

However, this did not move Li Yuelan. He still looked so calm and calm. He opened the box gently and took a closer look. It turned out to be a green hairpin. At first glance, he knew that this hairpin was worth a lot of money. In the end,

What's terrible is that there is a bead as big as an egg inlaid on the list.

Li Yuelan suddenly closed the box in his hand, and then his calm expression changed slightly.
