Chapter Thirty-Eight: Li Dao Moves

As soon as Li Zhu entered the hall, Li Dao smiled and said, "Third brother, come, I owe you a piece of silver today, and I can pay you back now." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Zhu walked over strangely and took the silver, and saw that the eldest brother Li Yu was also looking at Li Dao with a strange face, Li Zhu stopped talking and stood next to Li Yu. Old Man Li saw that his three sons were coming, nodded and signaled to Li Dao, and Li Dao sat next to Old Man Li and said, "Someone from the academy came today and gave me half a year's monthly money." I won't go to this academy in the future. Li Zhu saw that when Li Dao was saying this, his face did not change, so he waited for the following. Li Dao said: "I read the recommendation letter given by the academy, and it's okay, so I plan to pack up and sell part of my family's land to find a teacher in other towns to do it." You also know that I can't do the work in the field, so I just have to teach. My concubine and Li Qixi stayed behind to serve their father and mother, leaving 5 acres of paddy fields, which is enough for their mother and son to live. My mother wants to follow me out to open my eyes, I have no problem, what do you two think? Li Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard it, but this was the best result, so he did not speak out against it. Li Yu thought about it, after all, the second brother really didn't know how to take care of the land, and it was okay to let him go out, Li Yu nodded after hearing this, and then said: "That's okay, it's good for you to go out and take a look." But it's too hard for you to take care of your family, so my mother won't go. Li Daoyi hurriedly said: "As the saying goes, there are three kinds of filial piety: respect for relatives, and then humiliation, and can be raised under it." I took my mother with me, so that I could do my filial piety. Daddy needs you to take care of it more. As for the 100 stone of food for your filial piety every month, when I settle down, I will ask someone to tell you a place with you, and you will ask someone to send it over. When Li Yu heard that this was indeed the case, he did not speak again. Li Zhu looked at his father, although his father's face was flat, his face was angry, and his mother was happy, but he was sure that this was a good thing for his father and mother, so he nodded.

Li Dao saw that his brothers nodded, and then continued: "Since you have no objection, it is so decided, my family's land will be sold, and if you want to buy it, you will have a tael less than outside." Sell sand and slopes. As soon as Li Zhu heard that it was sand and slopes, he lost interest, stood aside, and didn't say anything. Li Yu's heart moved, but when he thought of the situation at home, he lost interest. Li Dao didn't plan to sell his brother, he also knew the situation of his brother's family, so he said, Li Daodao: "Okay, if you don't speak, you won't buy it, then I'll find Lizheng tomorrow and settle down." Old Man Li saw that Li Dao had finished speaking, and said to Li Yu and Li Zhu: "Your mother wants to be with Li Dao, you two brothers don't have to send me food, I'll go to your place to eat, one person for a month." What do you think? Li Yu looked at Li Zhu after hearing this, Li Zhu nodded, and Li Yu said, "Okay, Dad." Come and eat with us. I discussed with my third brother, and your clothes and the sweeping at home will be covered by the two of us. Old Man Li nodded after hearing this. Li Daodao: "Count the Wu family as well, and count it as my filial piety." Li Yu nodded and said, "We're awake, so you don't have to worry about things at home." ”

Li Dao nodded, got up and said, "Then I'll go back to the room first, I still need to clean up." Old Man Li nodded, he seemed to be a lot older all of a sudden, looked at Li Yu and Li Zhu and said to himself: "Yu'er, Zhu'er, this is what your brother just decided, he has done such a thing, staying here may not be able to find something to do, the academy gave him a letter of recommendation, and he can also find things to do in other places." That's a good thing! I don't go with Dao'er because I don't worry about my family's land, and this house can't be empty. And this person is unfamiliar with the place, and he is dry, so I stayed. ”

Li Yu said: "Dad, don't worry, there are still me and Zhu'er." Old Man Li listened to Li Yu's assurance and nodded reassuringly.

Old man Li saw Li Dao walking away, look at Mama Li, Mama Li went into the room to clean up when Li Dao left, Old Man Li said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, I have a little silver, you can buy a few pieces of land connected to your family." There are many people in the family, and there are many guarantees for many plots of land. Zhu'er, it's not that your father is biased, your eldest brother's family has more than half of the children, and your father will make up for it later. This land, your father's share when the family is separated, you two brothers planted it together, your father is old, he can only help on the side, and he can't work hard anymore. Li Yu nodded after hearing this. Li Zhu said to Li Yu: "Big brother, you also know the situation of my family, you can help plant your father's land, my family will not be busy this year." After hearing this, Li Zhu nodded and said, "Okay, you can come and get the grain when the harvest comes." After hearing this, Li Zhu hurriedly said: "Big brother, how can this be done." Li Zhudao: "I just said okay, and it was decided." Li Zhu had no choice but to remain silent, but made up his mind not to take it. Li Yu thought for a while and said to Old Man Li: "Dad, Qian'er, I have discussed with my daughter-in-law, and the current Yu Yin of the family will go to hug the little pig, and rent the land of Zhu'er's family, so we will not buy this land." You have the money with you yourself, and you have someone to keep with you. ”

Old Man Li nodded, and when he heard that Li Yu had already planned, he stopped talking.

Li Zhu went back to the room and told Deng about it, and Deng said happily: "That's good, I think Wu's second sister-in-law is also willing, they rent out the land and grow some vegetables, and their mother and daughter can also live." She also does needlework on weekdays, so she can earn some pocket money and raise some chickens by herself, and her life is okay. Li Zhu nodded and said, "That's the case." Ming'er, I'll go find Li Zhengding and fix that place. I decided to go to a heart disease early. Deng nodded.

Li Zhu saw that Brother Li Hai was still practicing calligraphy, so he said: "Hai'er, Ming'er, you and I will go to find Lizheng together, and the family wants to buy some land, and you will go together." Don't run around, just listen to me talking to Grandpa Li. Brother Li Hai said happily when he heard that he could go out to play: "Dad, okay." ”

After Li Zhu finished explaining, he went to the small kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, put a dish in the boiling pot, steamed the pot and pig's blood, and heated the chicken soup on the small stove. Fix the flowers again. So he went to Li Hongshen to borrow a small cart and went up the mountain to cut bamboo, so that he could build a small wooden house next to the house.

As soon as Li Hongshen heard that Li Zhu was going alone, he proposed to go with him, but Li Zhu could not resist Li Hongshen and went with him.

On the way, Li Hongshen asked, "Zhu'er, I heard that someone from the academy came over today, and I won't invite your second brother to do the teaching." Li Zhu nodded, "Yes, I gave half a year's monthly money, as well as a recommendation." The second brother said to look for it in other towns. Sell some of the family's land, Ming'er looked for Li Zheng and said, and my mother will go with me. When Li Hongshen heard this, he said angrily: "Your mother is so old, don't you make trouble for your second brother?" It's been a bumpy ride, can your mother's old body stand it? Your father is also old, and there is no one to serve around. What's the matter with your second brother? I haven't found a suitable one yet, so I want to sell the land. Doesn't this cut off its own way back? ”
