Chapter 265: Shangjing (On the Sea)
Li Zhu frowned, thought about it, still shook his head, and was about to blurt out if he refused, but Binbin intercepted him and said, "Daddy, let's go to Beijing, let's go see new things and things." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info go. Find a companion for our little monkey too. ”
Li Zhuyi's eyes lit up when he heard Binbin talk about new things, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Even if we go, we have to think about how not to let the people in the village know, and we must have an explanation." And the family is about to harvest in the autumn, I'm not here, who will fix these things. You have to have a steward. ”
Binbin thought for a while and said to Li Zhu: "Dad, the autumn harvest will be done by the master and the uncle." Let's let the master and the uncle help the handle. When others asked, they said that you took us to study. ”
Li Zhu looked at the child, shook his head, and said, "How can we leave the hands of others in our own affairs." We have already separated from each other, and we shouldn't trouble your grandfather anymore. ”
Li Hai glanced at Binbin, watched Binbin bow his head and kick the soil with an unwilling face, and looked up to Li Zhudao: "Dad, let's let Shang Lao help watch it." In the future, we will always encounter the situation that we are not at home for the autumn harvest, and this time Uncle Qi is also here, and we invite all those who can work in the fields. And Shang Lao used to be in charge of the family before, maybe more delicate than his father. ”
Li Zhu looked at the children helplessly, Li Hai's brother looked hopeful, and Binbin hung on Li Zhu's body, and kept shouting, "Go, go." ”
In fact, Brother Li Hai and Hamahama now look like children who match their age, and the depth of the past does not match their actual age.
Li Zhu just didn't want to go, and he couldn't ignore the hopes of the children, not to mention that this was not a difficult thing, this time it was a rare opportunity to go to Beijing to see, and it was time to make plans for Li Hai's brothers.
Li Zhu thought for a moment and nodded emphatically.
Brother Li Hai and Hamahama both opened their eyebrows happily when they saw it.
Li Zhu is not a procrastinator, and he will definitely implement it if he decides. He immediately told Deng about his decision.
After hearing this, Deng Shi smiled and said, "I think you must want to go." I didn't go this time, so I don't know how I will regret it in the future. The eldest brother and sister-in-law just wanted to persuade you to let you go and have a look, so it's good to go now. Everyone rejoiced. ”
Li Zhu nodded with a smile and said, "I decided not to go, I definitely don't regret it." Mainly the kids, they want to go and see. ”
Deng Shi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Like Li Hai, those who have taken the Xiucai exam all want to go out for a walk." It's not so simple to try people, listen more, watch more, think more, and increase knowledge. It's always good to go to Beijing this time and see more. ”
Li Zhu said: "That's what the children said. Let's talk to you about the autumn harvest as well. ”
Deng nodded and said, "Okay, let's work separately." Fortunately, we used to live in the town with our whole family, and if we were not for a month or two, the people in the village should not be surprised. ”
Li Zhu smiled and nodded.
After Li Zhu and Deng decided to go to Beijing, they immediately informed Li Yu of the family's desire to go to Beijing.
Li Yu agreed with this, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to persuade you to go to Beijing, but it seems that you have figured it out on your own." Your family is different from ours, your eldest brother and I have been mud legs all my life, your family has a brain, look around, think more, even if you don't take the exam in the future, it is good to avoid trouble like last time, and to be in a safe place. ”
Li Zhu smiled and arched his hand to Li Yu and said, "Big brother, that's the reason. That's what you're saying. Before, I wanted to refute it. I only think about myself, and I don't think about the children at home. The children in our family want to go and see, big brother, we have to ask you to help take a look. ”
Li Yu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's be two brothers for the rest of our lives, it's not a big deal, the people you invite can handle it." Big brother will help you take a look. ”
After hearing this, Li Zhu hurriedly thanked his eldest brother Li Yu. Li Zhu knew that his eldest brother should be down, and he would be attentive, and it would be enough to have this attentiveness.
Li Zhu and Deng talked to Old Man Li and Li Hongshen about wanting to go to Beijing.
After hearing this, Li Hongshen smiled and said: "It's a good thing to go to Beijing to take a look, Min, you look at Li Zhu, don't let him buy things indiscriminately." Although we are poor, we must have ambition and can't let our uncle buy us things. ”
Li Zhu and Deng both nodded in agreement. Li Zhu said embarrassedly: "The money in the family was not much left by me last time." When we went to Beijing this time, I borrowed some from Brother Quan and Brother Mu and put them on my body in case of emergency. The chewing in Beijing depends on the uncle, and the others have to be done by themselves. ”
Li Hongshen nodded with a smile and said, "You can go, don't worry about it at home." Your aunt and I will help you look forward to this autumn harvest. Feel free to check it out. ”
Li Zhu and Deng Shi thanked the two of them.
After talking to Old Man Li, Old Man Li looked at Li Zhu and said, "Zhu, you are going to recognize your relatives this time, bring your second brother." ”
Li Zhu and Deng were stunned when they heard this.
Old Man Li sighed and said, "Although your second brother is wrong in every way, how can I say that he is also the son of mine who has been hurt for decades, and he is the meat on the tip of his heart like you." Your second brother doesn't live in the village, and he's still like that. This recognition of relatives can obviously bring great benefits to your second brother. No matter how much you don't like it, that's also our inner business, we can't watch our children miss opportunities, right? ”
Li Zhu nodded and said, "That's the case, I'll find someone to inform the second brother." See if he goes to Beijing together? ”
Old Man Li nodded happily after hearing this.
Li Zhu asked the people in his family to go to the town to inform Li Dao, because it involved the Tai Lao who was an aunt, and did not entrust the old man Zhang or Old Man Yu.
Li Cuihua heard that her younger brother's family was going to Beijing together, so she happily pulled Deng Shi and said, "This is good, I just wanted to talk to Zhu and let him go to Beijing with him." We're not going to get any light, we're just saving the heart of not having to go to Beijing to see it. ”
Deng smiled and nodded.
Li Cuihua looked like she hated iron and steel, patted Deng's hand, and said, "You guys go over there, don't rush back." After Brother Li Hai was lifted, he also wanted to go to Beijing. You look around to see if there are any houses near Beijing and buy them. In the future, when the children go to Beijing, they will also have a place to stay. I know that your family's money has been used by Li Zhu recently. I have money on hand, and I can't use it now anyway, so you can bring it. When did you earn it, and when did you pay it back to me. ”
Deng was about to shake his head after hearing this, Li Cuihua slapped Deng's hand and continued: "Don't shake your head, I'm helping you and myself." You think, in the future, if the children have a chance, they will go to Beijing and live in that inn, how much more money will be paid. If it happened to be the time to rush for the exam, the money would be spent like flowing water. We will probably only be able to take the exam in the future, and it will cost a lot of money. Taking advantage of your visit to Beijing this time, from time to time, things are not particularly expensive, buy one, and the children of our Li family will have a place to settle in Beijing in the future. Don't say that you will count it in the future, we have a lot of children, and we all want them to be promising, and this account can be thick. Also, I have money in my hand now, and I can't use it anyway, so you go to Beijing and help me buy a house. I'm planning for Zhang Gui to go to Beijing. ”
The Deng family is also in charge of the family now, and he didn't dare to speak out when he heard this. That's not how this account is calculated!
The three babies of their own family went to Beijing, the eldest brother's family, Brother Quan's family, Brother Mu's family, the eldest sister's family, and the second sister's family. When children go to Beijing to catch the exam, the place where they live must not be too bad, and the cost of living must be a lot. And if you have a place to settle in Beijing, you can also save a sum of money when Brother Quan Muge goes out in the future.
Li Cuihua saw that Deng was silent, knowing that he had intentions, she nodded in her heart, knowing that she was a sensible person, and hurriedly said: "Don't be polite to the eldest sister's money, you also know that I can't move this money now." Don't worry, I'll definitely keep the companion, and you can take the rest. It's also good to have a coin on the road to defend yourself. ”
Deng Shi looked at Li Cuihua and nodded emphatically.
Li Cuihua smiled and patted Deng's hand, and said, "Don't be embarrassed, take it, relatives for life, your family is out, we can rely on it." ”
Deng smiled and waved his hand: "Eldest sister, are you using this to shame me?" ”
Li Cuihua said with a smile: "Eldest sister, I'm serious, your family, don't talk about Brother Li Hai, just Binbin's baby, it makes people happy when they look at it." I'm not looking to see if I can be lifted, I'm just sensible. Like Li Dao, after borrowing books, even if he is promoted now, I don't look at him squarely. Now, I am a younger brother. ”
Deng Shi sighed and said, "Eldest sister, a family, broken bones are still connected to tendons, just guard against yourself." How can you say that you don't recognize it? ”
Li Cuihua shook her head with a smile and said with a smile: "Don't persuade me." Let me tell you, the people of our old Li family have the strength to admit death. In the early years, I recognized people who were knowledgeable, but now I recognize people who are sensible and reasonable. ”
Deng remembered Li Zhu's appearance of admitting death, and kept silent. I sighed inwardly.
Indeed, the people of the Li family recognize one thing, and if they don't break the bloodstream, they are all twisting their strength, regardless of the three, seven, twenty, and straight ahead. For example, Li Zhu's marriage to the Deng family, Li Bo's face still hates the matter of his second uncle Li Dao, and the fact that the children have always insisted on drinking goat's milk.
In fact, this is not a good phenomenon, now the family is small, there are few contacts, and there is nothing major, but no one is perfect, and it cannot be regarded as unspeculative, so sooner or later something will happen. That's all for later.
Li Cuihua saw that the Deng family no longer said that she would not accept it, nodded, and said, "It's good that you agree, when will you go to Beijing?" I'm looking good at the time to send over. ”
Deng knew that Li Cuihua was trying to avoid the people in the family, so he nodded and didn't say anything. Indeed, it is rare to be able to buy a place to live in Beijing last time, even if it is a firewood house like the one that lived in Old Man Li's house before, it is also good.
Deng Shi looked at Li Cuihua and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, our family will accept this love, and the silver may not be returned to you until next year." This favor, our family owes it, so that Brother Li Hai and his wife remember the good of their aunt. ”
Li Cuihua smiled and said: "You two and you just owe me for this love, and what you owe it will not be owed to Li Hai and them." Everyone is a family, although they can't say two Li characters, but Zhang Gui and Li Hai have different surnames, and it is their business to deal with them in the future. We, the old people, will not seep into harmony. ”
Deng Shi looked at Li Cuihua seriously, saw her smiling face, and nodded seriously.
Li Cuihua saw that the Deng family still had to inform the others, and after saying the important things, they separated. People who have lived in the big yard don't dare to say anything else, and if you can get a diploma by looking at your eyes, how can you get a high school student level?
After Li Zhu informed his relatives about going to Beijing, he specially told the children's masters, that is, Mei Jin and his wife and Master Rong, and they didn't have any reaction, after all, this was a family affair of the Li Zhu family, and everyone was not well involved too much.
Moreover, in the matter of recognizing relatives, he is an official and a distant relative, but everyone thinks that there are good and bad.
Li Zhu's family has few relatives, Li Cuiqiao has not come back yet, and everything that can be notified has already been notified. Li Zhu and Deng began to pack up their things and determine who were going to Beijing.
The children must definitely bring it, after all, this trip to Beijing, strictly speaking, is also planned for the children, so that they can learn from it.
There is no doubt, Qin Ni must bring it. Hamahama is weak, so bring a doctor to ensure that nothing goes wrong, right? When the autumn harvest at home was everywhere, Li Zhu and Deng did not decide to bring too many people to Beijing. The little guy who wants to be called is not needed in Li Zhu's thoughts, with his uncle here, he will never break them.
In the evening, Li Cuiqiao came back, and after the people in the family told him the reason and the candidate for going to Beijing, Li Cuiqiao took himself to Li Zhu's house and said to Zhu: "Zhu, it is best for you to go to Beijing." You are kind, down-to-earth, and talented. It's best for us to let you go. ”
After hearing this, Li Zhu said with a smile: "Dad asked me to ask someone to squeak with my second brother, and it is estimated that he will also go together." ”
Li Cuiqiao snorted when she heard this. looked at Deng Shi with a smile and said, "Min, you go to Beijing this time, you help see what the people in Beijing use, see the fresh, we don't have it here, you buy some back." Things like patterns, headdresses, and the like. Don't worry, the second sister won't let you spend money in vain, I have some self-consideration these days, you bring it. You take it. ”
Deng listened to Li Cuiqiao's request, nodded with a smile, and sold the ornaments in Beijing, this is indeed a way to make money.
Li Cuiqiao thanked the Deng family with a smile and talked to Li Zhu for a while, mainly to explain that even if he went on the road with his second brother Li Dao, he should not come over, and emphasized that if Li Dao had a daughter, he should stay away. In the end, she said that she had a safe journey, and said that she would go to the town to sell things in the next few days, and she would not see her off. And went home.
Since Li Cuiqiao walked the streets and alleys to do business, she has become a clean and tidy person.
Li Zhu said that he sent someone to inform Li Dao, and he must have done what he said. Because everyone knows his truth, Old Man Li entrusted him with this matter.
Before Guan Leikun came to confess his relatives, he must have investigated. Everyone told him that there was also a Li Dao, and neither he nor Guan Jianxing were too surprised. The two stayed at Old Man Li's place.
After the two of them saw the tree house of Li Zhu's family, they had the idea of living in Li Zhu's house. But after looking at the people of the "Carving Pavilion" who jumped high and low, he dispelled this thought.
The people who live here don't know the power of the "Carving Wu Pavilion", how can Guan Leikun and Guan Jianxing not know the power of this pavilion. Instead of living there uncomfortably, it is better to live in Old Man Li's house, which is not only comfortable, but also respectable.
Speaking vulgarly, go out and drive simply. Each person packed two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes, Qin Ni packed some commonly used herbs, and Deng brought an extra small towel to Binbin. It only took a few hours for the Li Zhujia to pack up all the things they were going to travel.
Li Cuihua took the silver money on the second day, a total of two thousand taels, and gave it to the Deng family in front of Li Zhu, and said with a smile: "Originally, the silver money should have been given to the family members, but my brother's temperament is still forgotten." Min, I want to change the money for the house, not for any flowers, birds, and beasts, you remember. ”
Deng nodded with a smile, looked at the number, and estimated that this is all Li Cuihua's current self-esteem, and he paid attention to the promise to buy a small house for the eldest sister.
Li Zhu touched his nose, but he didn't hear it.
Li Cuihua saw Li Zhu's appearance, hurriedly stood in front of Li Zhu, and repeated: "I want to exchange these silver for a house, not for any flowers, plants, birds and beasts, do you remember?" ”
Li Zhu nodded with a smile and said to Li Cuihua: "Sister, I'm awake." ”
Li Cuihua looked at Li Zhu's appearance, she was not at ease, she mentioned it again and again, and finally, in the cloth with money, she stuffed a note and wrote "buy a house" before leaving.
Deng looked at Li Cuihua's appearance, and smiled and his waist was swinging.
Two days later, Li Dao took Li Qiyue in a carriage and came back.
Li Dao came back and went directly to Old Man Li, since he broke off the relationship with Mama Li, the people of the Li family seem to believe in their hearts that the place where there is Old Man Li is the gathering place of the Li family. Li Dao is similar to Li Zhu in this regard.
Li Dao saw Guan Leikun, Guan Jianxing and Old Man Li sitting under the peach tree at the door of Li Zhu's house before.
Li Dao hurriedly stepped forward to salute Old Man Li.
Old Man Li watched Li Daofeng come back handsomely, and said with a smile: "It's good to come back." Quick, come and meet your uncle and uncle. ”
The person who went to inform Li Dao had already roughly informed Li Dao about his new relatives. Li Dao pulled Li Qiyue to make a salute to see the elders, stood next to Old Man Li, and did not say anything more.
Guan Leikun frowned, and did not beckon him to sit down.
Guan Jianxing didn't like Li Dao's appearance very much, without him, only this look was like the usual appearance of a businessman. A clear and tall look.
Old Man Li talked to Guan Leikun for a while, and asked Li Dao with a smile: "Dao'er, your uncle wants our family to go to Beijing and recognize each other, what do you think?" ”
Although Li Dao polished the family affection of the Li family again and again, Li Dao is the son of the old man Li who has loved him for most of his life, how can he say that if he doesn't love it, he won't love it?
Li Dao nodded solemnly and said: "That's the case, let's go and see my aunt, recognize a relative, and walk around more during the New Year's Festival." Dad, I plan to take Qiyue to Beijing with me to have a look, so that the children can see and understand. ”
After hearing this, Old Man Li nodded and said, "Yes, that's the case." Your brothers also have this meaning, and you two brothers go on the road together, and there is a care on the road. ”
Li Dao nodded, there was not much enthusiasm.
The Li family thinks that Li Dao is not authentic, and he thins the family affection over and over again, but in fact, Li Dao doesn't think that the family affection on the Li family's side is shallow. This is related to the fact that Li Dao has been living and studying outside. In the past few years, Li Dao has rarely moved around with Lijia Village, and the relatives at home are all nodding friends.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
Old Man Li saw Li Dao standing, and hurriedly beckoned him to come in, wash and rest. Li Dao went back to his room to rest.
After another day's rest, everyone was ready and set out before dawn.
No one paid attention to Li Dao taking Li Qiyue to Beijing, but he didn't bring Li Qiyi, this heart is biased, really!
Hamahama is 120,000 excited about going to Beijing, she has been here for so long, and it is the first time she has been far away.
Brother Li Hai was also extremely excited, and this was also the first time that the brothers had traveled far away.
The road was calm, and when they got to the town, the carriage of Guan Leikun and his son led the way in front of them, leading everyone to the road of the carpenter. Everyone followed the uncle and the uncle to the beach with a puzzled face.
Guan Leikun said with a smile: "Let's take the waterway, sit here, and it only takes more than 20 days to get to Beijing." ”
After hearing this, Binbin was surprised, and after thinking about it, he was relieved, if it weren't for the proximity of this place to the capital, Deng Chi and his son would not have fled to their own home.
Guan Leikun's boat, Hamahama can't see the material of the production, but at a glance it can be seen that it is solid. The hull is black, which is incomparable with the modern big ships, unlike the legendary painted sails, flashy, streamlined hull, in fact, it is similar to a black banana.
There are three cabins on board, as well as a small cabin. There are two simple things in the three cabins. A bed, a small cabinet, boxy, open to store things inside, usually used for eating or reading and writing. In the past, the small cabin was used to put waterproof items, and it was a cabin. This time, Guan Leikun and his son came to confess their relatives wholeheartedly, and they didn't buy anything, so the cabin was empty.
Considering that there were more people returning to Beijing this time, Guan Jianxing asked people to build a simple board bed inside, which became Qin Ni's house.
There are three cabins, one for Guan Leikun and his son, one for Li Zhu's family, and one for Li Quan and Li Dao. Li Quan and Li Dao's father and son are not familiar with each other, Li Dao looks down on Li Quan, in order to be in a happy mood in the next twenty days, Li Quan took the initiative to have sex with Qin Ni, so that Li Dao and his father and son can kiss each other.
Guan Jianxing's resolute attitude towards Li Quan made people increase the board bed.
Although it is only a small matter, it directly reflects the relationship between the newly recognized Li family, and Guan Leikun's father and son have a preliminary understanding of this. Li Dao obviously did not wait to be treated by the Li family. But fortunately, the Li family is united, and they don't show it in front of outsiders.
Hamahama and Lee Hae-go-Ge got on the boat, stepped on the deck, and jumped up to hear the sound of "Dong, Dong". It was the first time for the children to ride a boat, and they were excited to walk around. (Hamahama was also the first time to ride such a boat.) )
There is a large warehouse inside the hull, which at the same time serves as a place for the crew to work (rowing), cook and sleep.
For more than 20 days on land and water, neither long nor short, all prepared on the boat were some simple meals.
The boat is not big, but it is not small, and there are ten boatmen. (To be continued.) )
