Usually, the old man Li discusses the affairs of the family with Li Yu and Li Dao, and rarely tells Li Zhu, Li Zhu is worried, thinking that he is not talking about Brother Min'er. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Old Man Li saw that everyone had arrived, he said: "I have discussed with you before, kill the pigs we raised, help Dao'er pay off the debt, and Dao'er's family will repay the silver money to Yu'er and Zhu'er during the New Year." Li Dao was happy when he heard this, the debt would be repaid as soon as possible, and he would be relieved as soon as possible, so he nodded. Because it was discussed before, Li Yu and Li Zhu had no objection.

Old man Li said: "The rice at home has been dried, Ming'er Yu'er and I will go to the town to pay taxes, Li Dao is a talent, our family can pay less tax on one person, that is, four acres of land, after paying the tax, this year's grain will be distributed to each family, and everyone will serve their own land next year." Then you can send me and your mother food every month. The three Li Yu brothers all nodded after hearing this. Old Man Li said again: "I called you here today because I want you to divide the work later, and the pork fan from the neighboring village will bring good family goods to kill the pigs." Prepare hot water and basins, salt water and other things, clean and count, and divide them well, and don't rush to your own face in front of outsiders. The Li Yuren brothers all nodded in response. Old man Li saw that his brothers were very cooperative, nodded, such a scene of brothers working wholeheartedly Old man Li still likes to see, he thought, I don't know if there will be a chance to see the scene of brothers working together in the future, he regretted a little that he agreed to Mama Li's suggestion to divide the family, Old Man Li coughed and said: "Let Li Yu arrange this division of labor, Li Yu is the eldest brother." Li Yu nodded, and asked the Li family, the Wang family, and the Wu family to wash the basin and boil hot water, and he and Li Zhu went to the neighbor's house to borrow a basin, after all, their family sells three pigs, and it is impossible to have less pig blood. He asked Li Dao to rinse out a relatively clean place in the yard so that it could be used as a place to kill pigs later.

Li Yuhuan and Li Dao went to the uncle's house to borrow pots and buckets, and Aunt Sun asked Li Zhu what the pots and buckets were for. Li Zhu said that the family killed the pig and used it to hold pig blood. Aunt Sun asked strangely: "Generally, it is not the New Year pig that is killed during the New Year, but your family has advanced this year?" Are you willing to do it? Is your dad confused? Li Yu listened to the bright voice behind him and said: "Auntie, our family is now in a hurry to make money and want to kill pigs to sell." Aunt Sun was surprised when she heard this, and turned her head and asked Li Zhudao: "Aren't you just divided?" Why are you in a hurry for money? Zhu'er, come on, is the eldest aunt an outsider? "Li Zhu has never been loved by Mama Li, and Aunt Sun's love for Li Zhu just makes up for this defect, so Li Zhu's family has always been different from the uncle's family, and Li Zhu has always been sincere and loving in the face of the two old people of the uncle's family. As soon as Li Zhu heard Aunt Sun say this, he hurriedly said, "Auntie, how can you be an outsider." Li Zhu looked at the eldest brother and looked at the eldest uncle, and said to Li Yu in a tangled manner: "Big brother, the second sister knows about it in the neighboring village, presumably Brother Quan and they will also know, let's talk to Aunt Sun, it's nothing." The eldest lady is not an outsider either. Li Yu thought about it, this is the reason, so he said to Aunt Sun: "The second brother didn't go to catch the exam, he went to Fengyuedi and borrowed five taels of silver to come back." When Aunt Sun heard this, she gritted her teeth and said: "Your mother doesn't always praise Li Dao for how good she is, how to know how to be filial and filial, she usually doesn't even go home, she only lives in the academy, and her clothes are washed at home. Why, you still have to kill pigs to pay off your debts at this time, aren't you divided? Let him pay it back himself, what about his monthly money. Pigs are growing, and it is not known how much less silver is to kill pigs now than to kill them during the New Year. You and the Zhu'er family are not at a loss. ”

Li Yu sighed after hearing this, and said, "Auntie, we all know it, but we can't help but pay back this money." Aunt Sun was happy when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Return, it's to be repaid, which way do you want your brother and brother to help pay it back, you two brothers don't have money at home." Uncle Li Hongshen heard Aunt Sun's loud voice in the house, and went out to ask, "What's the matter?" Aunt Sun said to Li Hongshen: "Your brother is going to kill the pig now and borrow a pot from us." ”

Li Hongshen asked strangely: "Now that he kills young people and old people for more money, he has been stupid in farming in the past few years?" Aunt Sun said in a weird manner: "You are not as smart as others, people are stupid, people are stupid, and people are stupid and will not ask these two fools to come to our house to borrow a pot to contain pig's blood." Li Hongshen asked, "What's wrong?" Li Zhu looked at Aunt Sun, looked at the eldest brother, and said the matter of the second brother to Li Hongshen again. When Li Hongshen heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared: "This heart is crooked, and it is eccentric." Zhu'er, if you let you kill the New Year pig this time, you will lose a few taels of silver per person, and these missing silver taels can't be calculated, even if you can calculate it, your second brother won't make up for you. You have to pay attention and let your second brother write an IOU, and your brother will settle the accounts, not to mention that you are all separated. Think about it, you and your eldest brother are farming together, Li Dao has monthly money in addition to land rent, his family is not very large, and his two rooms can also do needlework and make some private money, if you don't take it out at this time, you won't be able to eat you, and it is unknown if his family will not pay back. Li Hongshen is worthy of doing business for several years, and he thinks more comprehensively than Li Yu and his brothers.

Li Hong thought deeply and said, "You two brothers must let Li Dao write an IOU, so that your father and mother will not favor Li Dao." If you think about it, it's not me who says he's not behind others, but I also say it bluntly in front of him. If you take the family's money and go to that kind of place, he is not a good person, even if people don't pay back the money for the two of you, you don't dare to say it, your father and mother will definitely have to protect it. Li Yu and Li Zhu both nodded after hearing this, and Li Yu looked at Li Zhu and said, "That's the reason." ”

Li Hongshen said: "You will bring it up later, this pig was killed in advance, you have a lot of silver, and you have to divide more when you divide the meat." Zhu'er, it doesn't matter what you do, your family is young for many years, Min'er is also doing confinement, and drinking chicken soup every day is not a way, and it is good to have pork to change the taste. You don't think about the people at home for yourself. ”

After hearing this, Aunt Sun immediately said: "Yes, Zhu'er, you have to fight for more pork, and Aunt Ming'er will make meat dumplings for you." Look at your brother Li Hai, those with little arms and feet are meat. This poor child. After speaking, Aunt Sun's tears fell. Li Zhu hurriedly comforted Aunt Sun.

Li Yu nodded, and was about to say that he would give his own meat to Li Zhu, Li Hongshen said: "Yu'er, you are a good big brother, and your brother Li Tian is growing up, so you have to pay attention to them." When Li Yu heard this, he was right to think about it, and he was busy talking. Li Hongshen looked at these two honest and honest children, and sighed deeply.

Aunt Sun saw that the two brothers had a little trick, so she went back to the room and took a basin and bucket to Li Yu and the two brothers. Aunt Sun looked at Li Zhu's eyes and said: "Zhu'er, it's inconvenient for the eldest uncle to go home with you, you remember what your uncle just said, and you must ask them to write an IOU, your family has no strong labor, there are not many vegetables, and there is no grain on the land, these few taels of silver are your New Year's money." Be careful! After Li Zhu heard this, his eyes were wet, and he said movingly: "Auntie, I woke up." Li Yu also nodded.

In the end, under the repeated assurances of Li Yu and the two brothers, Aunt Sun let the two brothers go home.
