Chapter 82: Borrowing a Knife
Li Wan's full moon wine that was still in swaddling clothes was very grand, with six cold dishes, twelve hot dishes, a plate of ten red eggs per table, the fish was a big grass carp, the meat was a bite of the big fat meat, and there were rare dishes such as mushrooms, hairtail fish, and braised pig's feet specially bought from the county.
Be polite, this full moon wine was done politely, not only the elders in Xiao Li Wan's grandmother's house and Grandma Zeng's house felt polite, but even the neighbors who came to Daoxi in the nearby house also felt polite. The Li family really talks about etiquette and righteousness, although they are small and small, they are polite when they do things, and even the wine is used for 24 yuan of the 'Four Special Laojiao', and the cigarettes are also 10 yuan a pack of 'Baisha King'.
Early summer is the busiest season, everyone is a farmer, this solar term does not dare to be lazy.
The elders and neighbors who came to congratulate them with chickens and eggs finished eating a hearty full moon wine and drank a cup of bean chrysanthemum tea.
Sent the guests away, looking at the seven or eight tables of dishes and chopsticks, Manmei and Jin Mei were crazy, and they only shouted Mao Tong and the fine dog to help them carry hot water, and the aunts were definitely not allowed to help wash it. There are hundreds of bowls here, how much money does this have to make?
Looking at the children who were happily washing the dishes under the eaves, Li Chuanmeng and they were happy. Yes, these little girls will definitely have a future when they grow up in the future. People, it is better to ask for others than for yourself, you have the ability to endure hardships, that is the most reliable!
Everyone helped clean up the tables, chairs and benches, and the uncles who rushed back from Tonggu also rode motorcycles back to the county seat. If it weren't for the happy events at home, how could they be willing to put aside their business and run back?
Mr. Zhang, who came to drink the full moon wine today, also rode a bicycle and took Zhang Ren and his brother and sister home with his two brothers. In the past, he couldn't talk about disliking the nephew (daughter) of the hedgehog, but he couldn't say that he was very affectionate, but since the two children began to study seriously, Mr. Zhang looked at them differently. Everyone likes sensible and competitive children, and if they can be admitted to school in the future, it will also win glory for the Zhang family. As for parents, there is no choice, as long as the child works hard and is self-reliant.
The thin Zhang Renhe was indeed sensible, and when he encountered a long and steep slope, he jumped off the back frame of the car and pushed the car behind, which made Mr. Zhang's heart a little sour. This is not sensible, but it is currying favor with the elders, for fear that the elders will dislike it. But this child is too sensitive, and Mr. Zhang is not easy to refuse, so he has to get off the bus when he encounters a longer slope, and asks his two brothers to get out of the car and take a walk.
Another long steep slope, Mr. Zhang found that the back was light, and hurriedly got out of the car and pushed it, and Zhang Renhe in the back still helped push it.
"Heya, can you still take the first place in this final exam?"
"I don't know, Liu Mingsheng is similar to me. ”
Zhang Renhe, who was sweating profusely, replied, hesitated for a while before whispering: "Self-respecting father-in-law, can I ask you something?"
"Out of money?"
Zhang Renhe hurriedly shook his head and whispered: "No, I want to bring back the fields, mountains, and forests in the house." ”
The three of them stopped, looking at the black and thin cousin behind them, but the father-in-law in the lobby looked at his fourth brother. The fourth child of their family is the most promising, and he has the most ideas, and he usually comes up with an idea for the difficult things in the family, and everyone will discuss and do it.
This guy doesn't have the ability or the guts, nine times out of ten, someone instigated him, and Teacher Zhang said with a dark face: "He Yan, Li Jiaming asked you to do this, right?"
Zhang Renhe blushed, not daring to look at his father-in-law, but he still said stubbornly: "Self-respecting father-in-law, I take care of my own affairs, I don't want my uncle and second uncle to help!"
There was an ancient camphor tree on the long slope, which sprinkled a shade tree, and the three of them pushed the car to the shade in silence, and let Zhang Qi go to the side to play for a while.
"Heya, can you make a field and cut down a tree by yourself?"
"I, I," the black and thin Zhang Renhe said a few times, but still said bravely: "The eldest father-in-law, the second father-in-law, and the fifth father-in-law, it is better to rely on others than on your own! I want to take out the field, as long as I give me 350 catties of grain a year, I want to sell the trees on the mountain to the father-in-law of Weimin at one time." Uncle Long Yan promised me that as long as I dared to bring the mountain back, he would go and talk to my father-in-law Jianjun and father-in-law Weimin. ”
This kid is not so smart, it must be Jiaming's kid behind him, that kid looks generous, in fact, he is a lord who will repay him, and he is getting older and spicier. Well, nine times out of ten, it was the two fools Xiang Song and Xiang Gui who provoked him, and that kid came up with such a bad idea to harm others and himself.
Three acres and five cents of land get 350 catties of grain, and the chess sister does not suffer, and the people who contract the field can also get some cheapness. Not to mention the trees on the mountain, if they fall into Zhang Weimin's hands, Xiang Song and Xiang Gui still dare to fart? With Jiaming's kid staring at him, Weimin is not going too far, and nine times out of ten he will make a fair offer.
What a calculation!
In this way, three acres and five acres of fields and thirty-one acres of mountains will be enough for the two brothers and sisters to graduate from junior high school in the future, and Li Chuanlin will not have to bear anything at all. If these two siblings can be admitted to high school, have seven or eight years of work, and can cut down a batch of trees on the mountain, it is estimated that his family will not need much subsidy. If these two brothers and sisters really compete and get admitted to college, the Li family will be equivalent to picking up a promising cub, at most they will not be surnamed Li.
For a while, Teacher Zhang, who was in his duty, felt that his most proud student had become very unfamiliar, but Zhang Renhe next to him mustered up the courage to explain: "Self-respecting father-in-law, don't misunderstand Brother Jiaming. This idea was told by my aunt, and she said that I would have to fight for my own affairs, and if I didn't dare to stand up for myself, who would help me stand out? My aunt got married, and my mother-in-law was so old, if I didn't fight for the land and mountains again, we would starve to death in the future!"
The Grand Duke's face immediately turned dark, and he reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, don't Xiangsong and Xianggui give you 30 catties of rice and 30 catties of shredded potatoes every month?
The accusation that the elders didn't understand the inside story finally aroused the stubbornness in Zhang Renhe's bones, and excitedly argued: "Self-improvement father-in-law!
Our two siblings only have 15 catties of rice and 30 catties of shredded potatoes every month, and the money for studying is not taken by them, but is saved from the pocket money that my aunt and cousin gave to my mother-in-law! You don't know, my aunt has worked for five years, and when she got married, she didn't even have a decent dowry, and those things were all sent by Uncle Chuanmin, and the dowry money was given privately by Jiaming's brother. The two of them borrowed all of their aunt's money, but when my aunt got married, they didn't pay back a penny! And the six chickens that my aunt gave me were all caught by my mother-in-law from my aunt's house, and my sister was raised by digging earthworms and picking ears of grain every day. ”
Although they are uncles and nephews of the same father-in-law, Mr. Zhang and his three brothers have always looked down on Zhang Xiangsong's two cousins. Now that Mr. Zhang heard his nephew say this, his face was so gloomy that he could wring out water.
The two children have 15 catties of rice and 30 catties of shredded potatoes a month, and they have done such things? Xiangfeng has been working outside for a few years, and all the money he sent back has been transferred by himself to his fourth sister-in-law, and he actually let them take all of them, and he has not even put a decent dowry?
"Heyou, what you said is true?"
The black and thin Zhang Renhe immediately swore to the sky, "Father-in-law, if I tell half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!"
"Go back to look for Xiangsong and Xianggui, it's dark!"
Zhang Ziqiang, whose face was dark, pushed the car, led the two gray-haired younger brothers, and drove the poor brother and sister around. I have to find the fifth sister-in-law to tell the truth about this matter, if this guy didn't lie, if his three brothers didn't care anymore, he couldn't tell the fourth brother who died early, and even his own Ye Niang couldn't stand it!
Xiang Bai is no longer angry, and he is also the biological cub of the fourth child and the grandson of Ye Ye (Dad) Mom. Even if the previous things were said to be broken, they were like Bai in-laws (husband and wife) doing evil, what does it have to do with the two children? Since they are the descendants of the Zhang family, they can't watch them being bullied like this!
