Because the current Li Liushi can still see that she is a beauty, but the long-term malnutrition and fatigue make her look very old, not like twenty-eight but like forty-eight. Pinshu.com
"You kid, you'll coax me!" Li Liushi laughed, and then recalled: "At that time, I did look very immature, but no one had ever seen Xianggong's former wife, so everyone would only raise me if I worked less in the town." And Xianggong and a few children never told people that I was married later, for fear that everyone would gossip behind my back. ”
"Uh-" Meng Xi was speechless, it didn't matter if outsiders couldn't recognize him, but even his family couldn't see it, which was really funny. How much the Li family ignores their godfather!
But the godfather and a few children are all good, and they are really tight on the godmother. Even now, if the godmother didn't say it, she wouldn't have imagined that a few people who were so close would not be biological mothers and sons.
"Is there anyone else in Chunhua's grandmother's family?" Meng Xi thought of the embarrassment of his stepmother, and began to worry about Li Liu's family again, "Have they never visited Chunhua?"
If Chunhua and Da Zhuang's mother-in-law still have relatives at home, will there be a day when they suddenly come to visit the three children, and then pick up Chunhua Da Zhuang and the godmother, or ask about Xia Hua, that will be a disaster.
Li Liushi pointed at Meng Xi's forehead with his index finger, "You little housekeeper, why do you have so many hearts." Chunhua's mother was an orphan, and her godfather bought it from the people who were passing through Whitewater. At that time, she was sick, and people didn't want to care about her, so she sold her at a low price. Your godfather was an apprentice in the town at the time, and he had a little silver in his hand, so she bought it pitifully. ”
"Oh, godfather is so blessed!" Meng Xi said strangely. first bought a daughter-in-law cheaply, and then picked up one for nothing, this luck is not ordinarily good.
If it was placed at her time, how could those older leftover male single dogs be embarrassed!
Li Liushi was amused by her words, "Okay, this time your kindness is satisfied?"
Now I understand that the two little godmothers are more smart and clever, and the two are honest and honest. Meng Xi smiled mischievously.
"Don't say this to outsiders, it will make Da Zhuang and Chunhua more hearty. Li Liushi instructed seriously.
Meng Xi nodded again and again, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." We will always be a close family!"
Li Liushi nodded, "Well, Da Zhuang and Chunhua are both filial and sensible good children, I have always treated them as my own children, and I don't want to hear the villagers chewing their tongues behind their backs." ”
"Godmother, you are such a kind and good person!" Meng Xi stretched out his hands and gave her a thumbs up.
Li Liushi smiled a little shyly, "Start coaxing me again!"
"Hehe-hey-what people say is the truth!" Meng Xi smiled brightly.
Li Liushi twisted her little nose again, and then suddenly became very solemn, and said, "Xiaoxi, godmother wants to ask you for something!"
"Oh, godmother, look at what you said, let me do what I say directly, what do you ask for or not. Meng Xi hurriedly said.
Li Liushi took Meng Xi's hand and said in a sad tone: "Xia Hua's child is so pitiful! Back then, in order to settle the debts for her family, she took the initiative to sell herself to pay off the debts. Now that the conditions at home are good, I want to find her and redeem her!"
"No problem, this matter is covered by me! If the godmother doesn't say it, I will do it too!" Meng Xi replied very refreshingly.
In fact, she had already asked Shopkeeper Xiao to help her inquire, but there was no specific result yet, and not saying it made Li Liushi even more worried.
Shopkeeper Xiao once told her that Wang Dahu originally wanted to sell Xia Hua to the Qinglou, but it happened that a person passed by and saw Xia Hua crying in front of the Qinglou, and then bought her.
It is said that there were more than 20 taels of silver in the Qinglou at that time.
When he heard the news, Meng Xi really wanted to pull Wang Dahu over again and beat him again. Damn, the money was completely enough to pay off the debts, but he just deducted half of it, and then continued to collect debts from the Li family.
If you lack great virtue, you will have to clean him up if you have a chance in the future!
Meng Xi gritted his teeth when he thought of him, and Li Liushi saw her with a hideous face, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong Xiaoxi, your face is so bad?"
Meng Xi hurriedly came back to his senses, "Oh, it's nothing. I was angry when I thought that Wang Dahu's damn thing actually sold Xia Hua!"
Li Liushi sighed heavily, his eyes were full of guilt and sadness, "Alas, it's all because I don't have the ability to cause the children to suffer such a big crime! If I can be as capable as you, the children and the husband will definitely still be by my side." ”
Li Liushi has never regretted it like now, and kept thinking: If she could have been stronger and less cowardly, would everything have been different?
However, it is difficult to buy regret medicine with money, and it is too late to say anything now!
Meng Xi gently shook Li Liu's arm, "Godmother, don't be sad, everything will be fine!"
Li Liushi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Well, Godmother believes in you! Godmother also thank you!"
If she hadn't met Xiaoxi, she would still be struggling in the mire of pain, fortunately!
When the mother and daughter talked heart-to-heart, the village was also lively, to be precise, the village chief's house was lively.
Almost the entire village was crowded into the village chief's house, and those who couldn't stand in the inner room stood outside, and there were even those who couldn't squeeze in, standing in the courtyard, and everyone listened excitedly.
Because according to the custom, after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, preparations for spring plowing will begin, so the village chief called everyone here today to study what should be done next.
"Alright, everybody, be quiet. ”
Zhao Guangming saw that everyone was almost there, knocked the dry tobacco bag in his hand, and put it on the edge of the kang, and then he stood on the kang and pressed his hand to make everyone quiet.
"I called everyone here today because I have a very important thing to talk to you about first. ”
When the villagers heard this, they immediately stopped talking, and the silence of the whole audience could be heard, and even some villagers didn't even dare to come out, for fear of missing a word.
"Everyone knows that after Miss Meng Xi came to our village, the Li family quickly became rich, and all this is due to her......"
"Oh, village chief, we all know these things, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get down to business!"
An anxious young man interrupted the old village chief's prepared tirade.
The villagers laughed, but they all said that they all knew these things and were very convinced of Meng Xi, so the village chief hurriedly said how to make a lot of money.
Zhao Guangming was robbed of white by everyone, and suddenly cried and laughed, "Okay, if you want to be in such a hurry, then I'll make a long story short!"
Everyone was quiet again, waiting with wide eyes.
"Meng Xi said, if our village wants to get rich, we still have to rely on farming first!"
"Boom-" The sentence made all the villagers blow up, and they started talking about it in a chaotic manner.
"How is that possible?!"
"Our village has been farming for generations, that's why we are poor like this!"
"Do you think that little girl can teach us any good ideas, farming? That's not a poor road!"
The villagers were all incredulous and retorted excitedly.
The old village chief stroked his gray beard, smiled and didn't speak, so he looked at everyone, and he was not anxious or annoyed.
Someone finally noticed that something was wrong with him, so they poked one by one, and gradually all stopped discussing and waited quietly for the village chief to speak.
It wasn't until everyone stopped talking that the old village chief snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't say anything?"
Everyone shook their heads and didn't dare to say anything.
"Just now, which rabbit cub said that he believed Meng Xi? Why did I say a word and all of them rebelled?"
Everyone was silent and did not dare to pick up the stubble.
The old village chief swept his sharp gaze around everyone's faces one by one, and everyone bowed their heads in cringe, and then he slowly opened his mouth again.
"What I'm going to say next, you can think about it, it's completely voluntary. If you want to follow along, I will ask Meng Xi to come here tomorrow to tell you in detail, if you don't want to follow along, you can go home after listening. ”
Next, Zhao Guangming told Meng Xi and her some ideas about farming this year one by one, and it took half an hour to finish.
All the villagers were initially surprised and then suspicious, while some were excited and eager to try.
The villagers waited until Zhao Guangming finished speaking, and hurriedly asked the question they were most interested in.
"Village chief, can you really grow soybeans in the cornfield?"
"Uncle Zhao, did Meng Xi really promise to buy all the soybeans in the fall?"
"Old village chief, can we still grow potatoes and sweet potatoes on the land in our village?"
One question after another, Zhao Guangming's head was too big, but he had to be patient and explain to everyone what he learned from Meng Xi in the same way.
At this time, the village chief suddenly felt that he had taken Meng Xi's job!
"That girl, she must have expected this situation, so she encouraged herself to hold a mobilization meeting first!"
Zhao Guangming secretly scolded Meng Xi in his heart, but he had to continue to deal with the excited villagers.
Meng Xi was fiddling with the soybean sprouts at home, and suddenly sneezed twice, "Hey, I think about it, I scold and I scold!
After saying it casually, she didn't take it seriously and continued to work, but she didn't know that when Zhao Guangming's old man sent away the last group of villagers, he was already tired and paralyzed on the kang, and kept complaining about Meng Xi.
Early the next morning, Zhao Guangming came to kill the door.
"Xiaoxi girl, you come out for me!"
"Hey, Uncle Zhao, it's early in the morning, why are you so angry! Who provoked you?"
Meng Xi looked at the old village chief who walked in angrily with a puzzled expression.
She doesn't seem to have anything to do with him in the past two days, right?
When Zhao Guangming saw Meng Xi, his face showed an aggrieved expression, and he said sadly: "Xiaoxi, you have made me miserable!"
Eh, an old man who is almost sixty years old, don't sell cute, okay?
Meng Xi's cheek muscles twitched a little, he wanted to laugh but he had to try to hold it back, and then try not to let his voice leak out of laughter, and strive to be sincere.
"Uncle Zhao, what's going on?"
"It's all your fault! I had to talk to the villagers first, but from last night to now, the threshold of my house has been almost flattened!"
"Oh-" Meng Xi understood in seconds, "Then this is a good thing, it shows that everyone is very motivated, and you, the village chief, are also worthy of everyone's trust!"
Meng Xi knew how shocking the farming theory he proposed should be in this closed and backward world. But Zhao Guangming was able to accept it quickly after that conversation, which showed that he was a courageous person.
Or because he is really poor, as long as there is a glimmer of hope to get rich, he doesn't want to let go.
But what about the villagers?
Not everyone is the same courageous, right?
Therefore, Meng Xi wanted Zhao Guangming to instill it with everyone in advance, and then she would talk to everyone in person.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that the acceptance of the villagers was much better than she expected. Seeing Zhao Guangming's tired face, everyone knew that everyone had no shortage of doors to ask for details.
"Xiaoxi, go to my house now, there are many villagers waiting for me at the door, I don't want to face them myself!"
He is an old bone, and he can't stand so many people asking questions constantly, it's like torture.
Meng Xixiao's tears were about to come out, "Okay, Uncle Zhao, let's go now." ”
After explaining to Li Liu's family, Meng Xi took Xuehua and Zhao Guangming to his house together.
Why with snowflakes?
Because Meng Xi feels that this little girl is definitely a natural money essence, and if she wants to train her well, she will definitely become an excellent help for herself in the future.
When Meng Xi arrived at the village chief's house, he was frightened by the lively scene.
Almost all the men, women and children of the village came, and their faces were full of anticipation, excitement, anxiety and doubt. But without exception, when they saw Meng Xi, they burst into cheers.
"Ah, it's Miss Meng Xi here, let her in!"
The crowd parted in unison, making a way out, Meng Xi walked by, and even had the feeling that a big star walked on the red carpet.
Standing in front of the village chief's house, looking at the group of simple neighbors in front of him, Meng Xi was a little excited.
She has followers, isn't she? Isn't she the one she had been alone in her previous life?
Emma, so excited, so excited!
Meng Xi was a little proud in his heart, and then looked at the villagers who were quietly looking forward to it.
"Uncles, aunts, aunts, and aunts, the little woman Meng Xi would like to thank you for your trust in me first! I promise: I will do my best to lead everyone to improve their lives!"
The resounding words immediately won the applause of the audience.
Many people responded enthusiastically: "Miss Xiaoxi, we believe in you! You say, let's do it!"
Meng Xi was infected by this enthusiasm and immediately formally expounded his initial idea.
"Folks, I guess Uncle the village chief has already told you my suggestion yesterday. I won't talk about this for now, but I want to ask you a question: Our Luming Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it should be a good place to be rich, but why is it so poor? Is it because everyone is lazy?"
"Of course not!" the villagers objected, they were all simple people who worked in the soil, and they were very diligent.
"Is that barren land?"
