On the fourth day, Cheng Anguo took more than 30 big men with big shoulders and round waists that had been hired long ago and began to repair the roof before dawn, paint the old walls, move furniture, and paste window paper.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was eating, the painting screen moved the ladder and climbed the wall lightly, his eyes were vertically aimed down, he praised it twice, and still climbed down lightly, moved the ladder away, and then jumped quickly to the kitchen, while helping Sister-in-law Jiang wash the dishes, he said with his mouth: "That family is really particular, there is a room of new tiles on the root of the wall, and it seems that they are going to replace all the good and bad old tiles." The former one is missing and making up for it. ”

The former family, the big boss in charge of the key is a big door.

Because the descendants of the Li family don't like the head of the old neighbor's house very much, they are naturally looking forward to this new neighbor who looks magnanimous, and Sister-in-law Jiang said with a smile: "I heard that the next door is a medicinal herb merchant from Huguang, and the house may have to put some medicinal herbs, and it won't get a little wind and rain, so of course the house must be repaired well." You don't have to help me, there's a bowl of porridge hot in the pot, you can go eat it. ”

The painting screen wiped his hands, opened the lid of the pot and saw a bowl of hot porridge inside, with boiled rice and pork puree in the form of small balls, and the painting screen thanked: "My sister-in-law treats me so well!"

"It's not that I treat you well, it's the third girl's order. Sister-in-law Jiang looked at the picture screen's stunted body because she hadn't eaten enough when she was a child and said, "The third girl asked you to eat more, your body and bones are well maintained, and you can grow up in the past two years." ”

Huaping remembered his hard life in the hands of human teeth, and couldn't help but sniff and said: "They say that people are good when they are short, and they are short to wear clothes and save materials." ”

"This is for the ghosts, if we women don't grow tall, we will be sad to have children in the future. Sister-in-law Jiang scolded those abusing people into ghosts, smiled at the picture screen and said, "Drink quickly, I'm still waiting to clean up your bowl." ”

The body of the painting screen looks like twelve or thirteen years old, in fact, he is fifteen years old, and he is already curious about giving birth to a child, especially now that there is a woman in the family who may give birth to a child at any time, so he is even more curious, and whispers shyly: "Sister-in-law Jiang, where did the child come from?

The eldest lady is Li Fei's sister-in-law Jiao, last year pregnant Li Xun sent his wife back to Kunming City to raise the baby, and now the pregnancy has reached ten months, Li Xun came every three days to inquire about his wife's situation. The old lady at home was not nervous in front of Jiao's face, and she was also eager to carry her face behind her back. The old lady is seventy years old this year, and she has only one great-granddaughter, Li Qi'er, and no great-grandson.

Sister-in-law Jiang smiled and said: "I can't say this, you go and ask the third girl, and the third girl is willing to sue you, so she will sue you." ”

Huaping didn't believe it: "Nonsense, how can the third girl know?"

The painting screen was specially bought for Li Fei to call, it was a subordinate who only entered the Li family at the end of last year, many things still don't understand, and I don't dare to ask if I don't understand, so Sister-in-law Jiang took the opportunity to point out to her: "You have met a good family master, the Li family is a learned person, knowledgeable, just know a lot of meaning, and the cultivation is good, you just need to work hard in this family, these little things, you just ask." ”

Thinking about it, it's still hard to ask the girl such a shy question. In the future, when the girl marries and gives birth to a baby, it is not too late to ask.

Sister-in-law Jiang killed two chickens and stewed them, and was about to make rice noodles, so as to prepare chicken soup rice noodles for dinner, Sister-in-law Jiang beside Jiao's came in and said, "Sister Jiang, quickly boil hot water, the eldest lady has started." Seeing the rice milk in Sister-in-law Jiang's hands, she said: "That's it, you clean up and make a bowl of rice noodles and let the eldest lady eat it, and eat it to save up strength to make dolls!"

Sister-in-law Jiang stood up and sat down again, but she was instructed not to know which one to do first.

Sister-in-law Jiang herself smiled first and said: "You come to make rice noodles, I'll boil water, don't be busy first, don't be busy, the third wife said that let the eldest lady rest for a while now, and there will be a while to give birth." ”

The third wife is Li Fei's third aunt Le's, her maiden family is a famous apricot forest family in Jinling, Le's has been quite proficient in medical skills, and has given birth to three children, and has become an exile and has not put the official wife on the shelf, in the Lin'an Wei military household to do the work of delivering mothers, Le's in line with the belief of Jishi hanging pot to do the stable woman's man, over the years has saved many dying mothers and fetuses, in Lin'an Mansion and even Kunming City are famous.

The Li family is now these people, the eldest daughter-in-law Cao died of illness in the first year of entering Yunnan, the third daughter-in-law Leshi became a doctor-in-law, Li Xun worked as a post in Jianshui, Li Su worked as an errand in Wenlan Pavilion, Li Di found an errand as a military doctor in the Yunnan Guard, first in Luchuan, Li Fei's mother went to Jinling to drink the second cousin's wedding wine.

The third lady, Lu Shi, made the bed to help Jiao Shi lie down, and Le Shi smiled at his daughter-in-law: "You are not needed here, the house is shallow, you coax Qi'er to go to Erlang's side for a night and come back." ”

Li Su rented two rooms near Wenlan Pavilion, and sometimes he was too busy to rest there.

Lu left her dowry maid Xianghe to take care of it, and took Li Qi'er, who was only three years old, out of the door with a small bag.

Lu touched Jiao's belly again, listened to the fetal sound, and asked Jiang Bo on the door to pick up Wen Po and ask the doctor.

Jiao's pregnancy was very hard, morning sickness and vomiting did not stop until eight months, and the time was reversed and the fetus was delayed, she was very nervous, and she squeezed Le's hand and said: "Auntie, you have to show me!"

Doctors don't treat themselves, because they care about it, they are chaotic, and doctors rarely see their own families, but Jiao believes in Le's, and Le's also held Jiao's hand and smiled: "I'm watching, I'm watching, I'll find a few more people to prepare for it." ”

Mrs. Li lit incense and recited the Sutra of Peace.

Everyone in the Li family is looking forward to the child in Jiao's womb. But there was always a little bit of discord. The more than 30 big men next door were more motivated after eating and drinking, one was the sound of the old tiles being swept down, and the other was the sound of hey, carrying the new tiles to the roof, the sound was not big enough to reach the Li family, but Jiao's was tormented by the pain of a * and was in anxiety. Li Fei didn't hesitate for long, and he and the painting screen hugged a ten-pound jar of Heqing old wine and went next door.

Lijiang baba crane celebration wine, Jianchuan carpenters everywhere.

Heqing liquor is made of barley as raw material, 56 kinds of Chinese herbal medicine to make rice dumplings, brewed with high-quality spring water in the high mountains, fermented for half a year and stored in the cellar for more than five years, its taste is mellow and sweet, the hanging ring lasts for a long time, it has the effect of relaxing the muscles and invigorating the blood, refreshing and replenishing the qi, and is a famous product in the wine. The four jars and ten catties of Heqing old wine that the Li family has in the house were sent to the Li family by Lu Qianhu two days ago, Li Fei put the heavy wine bottle outside the threshold, knocked on the open door, and raised his voice against the wall: "Is this housekeeper or the head of the family here?"

Zhao Yanheng happened to be here at this time, and just now he doubled everyone's salary, prompting everyone to work hard.

Li Fei's voice came through like a nightingale's coquettish cry, and Zhao Yanheng instantly turned to the door excitedly, took a big step on his feet, and turned over the wall in a few steps.

Li Fei saw that it was an acquaintance, so he naturally showed a kind smile and said, "It turned out to be Zhao Gongzi!"

"It's the girl here!"

Zhao Yanheng disguised it as a casual coincidence, and tried to suppress the germination of joy in his heart.

There are many kinds of laughter, there are dull laughter, alienated laughter, perfunctory laughter, etiquette laughter, as soon as Zhao Yanheng saw Li Fei in his previous life, he was King Xiang, the emperor's seventh son, Li Fei guarded the consciousness of a female official, and almost never gave him a heartfelt smile. So Zhao Yanheng sometimes deliberately stands behind his sister Taihe, and the one who coaxes his sister to laugh is also regarded as a show of face to him.

Li Fei made a blessing ceremony, the slender fingers of his two hands intersected like jade buckles, put them on his waist, bowed his head slightly, bent his knees slightly, and then said: "Today, the sister-in-law at home is in poor health and can't sit and lie down safely, can you ask Zhao Gongzi to be sympathetic and postpone repairing the house for a day, the little girl is grateful." ”

Zhao Yanheng hurriedly returned the salute and said attentively: "I don't know what disease my sister-in-law is suffering from, I have a lot of precious medicinal materials here. ”

How could Li Fei directly tell a foreign man that the sister-in-law at home was giving birth, but he said vaguely: "It's very presumptuous to disturb today, and the family has all kinds of medicinal materials, so I just need to be quiet for half a day in the neighborhood, so that my sister-in-law can have a good night's sleep." ”

Zhao Yanheng didn't understand Li Fei's vague meaning, but said to Cheng Anguo behind the wall: "Tell them to stop work now." ”

Li Fei moved the wine jar placed outside the threshold into the threshold, and smiled gratefully: "It's just a small courtesy, not a respect." In the near future, the son repaired the house, and the family will come to the door to congratulate the housewarming. ”

Zhao Yanheng felt that he had finally realized the meaning of rebirth, Li Fei, who had been cold to him repeatedly in his previous life, smiled at himself again and again in this life. Zhao Yanheng felt like he was in the Sanli Peach Garden in the Water Mirror Mountain, buried by the petals that fell because of the breeze, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Li Fei's graceful figure turn around and disappear.

"Master, the man is gone. ”

Cheng Anguo said to Zhao Yanheng, who was still standing.

Zhao Yanheng bent down and hugged the wine jar that Li Fei gave him in his arms, and said with satisfaction: "Go, inquire about the condition of the sister-in-law of the Li family." ”

If you can help, it is a good opportunity to be courteous, and Zhao Yanheng, who has been reborn again, knows most that Li Fei values his family.

The importance of family is more important than life!

At night, a loud cry sounded, and after a while, Le took out a red swaddling baby and said to Mrs. Li: "Mother, it's a sturdy boy." ”

Mrs. Li burst into tears of joy, didn't look at the child first, and asked, "How is the daughter-in-law grand?"

Le's smiled and said, "Okay, I still have the energy to look at the child." ”

Li Fei put his hands around Mrs. Li and looked at the red newborn with a smile.
