Chapter Ninety-Eight

Li Zhu's family was extremely surprised when they heard this. Li Zhu asked in surprise www.biquge.info "Ah, the second sister has it, this is good news." When did you come to notice, should we give a salute? After hearing this, Li Yu said: "I asked the messenger to take a basket of eggs back." Li Zhu nodded after hearing this, and didn't say anything more.

There was nothing to say all night, as Li Zhu said, Xiucai's identity will not bring changes to the family. How the family lives and how they live.

When Li Yu's family harvested the grain in the field, Li Zhu also went to the field to help, and Deng helped cook. The whole family is single-minded, and they are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground.

During the busy farming period, everyone no longer saves on food, and Li Zhu's eggs are in short supply.

This year, due to snow, there was a slight bumper harvest. Li Yu's land is recorded in Li Zhu's name, and he does not need to pay grain taxes, saving a lot of grain. Sold for a good price. After the busy farming, Li Tian and Li Shu both went to school.

When they came back, both brothers competed to be their younger brother's husband, but they were both frightened by Lehi's open-mouthed copy of the "Three Character Classic".

Li Zhu knew about Li Sibin's situation back then, and was busy talking to his eldest brother Li Yu. Li Yu smiled: "Our children won't be like that." Indeed, Li Tian and Li Shu saw that their younger brothers were better than themselves and worked harder to study, which made the family very happy.

Li Quan brought a pig back to Li Zhu's family and raised it in the pigsty of Old Man Li. Old Man Li's pigsty does not raise pigs, and it is empty, and the Li family borrows three bundles of firewood every year. Old Man Li agreed with a smile.

Li Yu not only brought the polished rice that he had discussed with Li Zhu before, but also added two loads of rice, Li Zhu said that he didn't want anything, Li Yu left in front of Li Zhu's house, Li Zhu was helpless, and took the two loads of rice to the uncle. The uncle was not polite, and accepted it with a smile.

When it was time to plant grain for the second time, the Li family took back their own land to plant. With the help of the cow, Li Zhu turned over his land in three days. The eldest brother's family didn't have the help of Li Tian and Li Shu, two and a half children, and the family didn't have enough manpower, so Li Zhu asked someone to help with farming.

Old Man Li originally disagreed, but Li Zhu told Old Man Li about the difficulties of his family and his eldest brother, and also explained the reason, so Old Man Li didn't speak out again. Li Zhu's original words are that now the family is a little rich, and there is no need to make himself peel.

Spring goes to autumn, the family ushered in Hamahama's first birthday, Hamahama can now walk on his own and say some simple words, Hamahama looks at so many things that can make money and can't show his strength, now he can move freely, and finally start his own small actions. This realization made Hamahama happy for a day.

On Hamahama's birthday, he took out the previous daffodil bulb and planted it in a wooden bowl. Hamahama peels off the dry brown scale leaves on the outer layer of the bulb, removes the mud and the brown rotten roots at the base, washes the surface, and places it upright in a wooden bowl, fixed with small stones around it so that it does not fall over. Add water to two-thirds of the bulb balls. Lehi saw that Binbin was small, and he worked hard to change the water, so he took care of the job.

Hamahama wrapped up all the flowers in the flower garden, and to Hamahama's delight, there were Phalaenopsis orchids in the flower garden.

Hamahama originally wanted to contract all the work of raising birds, but he thought that he was still young, and if he made too out-of-the-ordinary actions, he was afraid of being treated as a monster.

However, Binbin briefly mentioned that the chick was old, and Li Zhu and Li Hongshen suddenly thought of this. At this time, Deng had selected a batch of eggs to hatch for the chickens.

Li Zhu discussed with Li Hongshen for a while, and after the eggs hatched, half of the chickens were sold. "Xi Ying" received the news, and immediately wrapped up the chickens, Li Zhuer agreed without saying a word, although this saved Li Zhu's family a lot of effort, but the profit was less.

Li Zhu's chickens are all free-range in the mountains, and the meat is delicious and chewy, which is quite popular. Hamahama wanted to remind his father and mother to sell at a high price, but he thought that he was small, so he had to give up.

On Hamahama's birthday, Deng boiled two red eggs like Li Hai's birthday. Lehi gave the precious inkstone to Hamahama. Hamahama accepted it happily, but it was still for his eldest brother.

Now, the Li Zhu family needs to go to the fields to farm, and they are tired of getting up early and being greedy for darkness, and the Deng family is also busy with family affairs and busy planting vegetables, feeding pigs, chickens, and birds, and the four brothers and sisters of Li Hai are all playing together. In addition to playing with the flowers in the flower garden, Hamahama desperately thinks of ways to make life better at home.

Hamahama suddenly thought of raising butterflies, and he had butterflies at home, which could help pollinate flowers. Moreover, being idle is also idle. Hamahama said he would do it, and began to make noise about butterflies.

The family baby Binbin, I can't see Binbin crying, when Li Zhu decides to be a little free, the family goes to the village to catch butterflies. Of course, Hamahama was so happy that he clapped his hands and laughed. Li Zhu's family decided to pack up their things and go out early the next morning, just to take advantage of this to rest for a day.

Early in the morning, there was a sharp knock on the door.

Li Tian and Li Shu happened to go out to school and went to open the door. I saw a government official standing outside the door, when did the two brothers see such an officer and soldier, they were stupid standing at the door, this officer and soldier had obviously seen too many such two children, without saying a word, put aside the two children, then entered, and shouted: "Where is the adult of this family? The government conscripted labor. After Li Zhu listened to it in the courtyard, he calmly entered the room to take Xiucai's red text.

Li Shi took a bowl of porridge and handed it to the official master and said, "Official, come here early in the morning to enlist labor, don't have breakfast, try the gruel made by yourself." The official was not polite, he took it and ate, and asked while eating: "I see that your family's life is still passable, do you plan to buy it, or do you want to go?" When Li Shi heard this, he asked in surprise: "This, can you not go?" The official said, "If one person does not pay thirty taels of silver, two people will pay fifty taels of silver if they do not go." You can only make friends one by one, not several people together. Auntie, I told you because of your kindness, this year to build an embankment in a neighboring town, it is not a human life. When Li Shi heard this, his face immediately turned white, building an embankment, everyone here knows that one is not good, when there is a big flood, he has died. Li said: "Official, you eat slowly, I will discuss with the family." The official was not polite, and when he saw that there were still a few dishes of porridge on the table, he waved his chopsticks and sat down at the table to eat.

When Li entered the house, he saw that Li Yu had already packed a package and planned to follow the expedition. Li Shi looked at Li Yu, tears suddenly flowed, and said, "The child's father, this year, I am going to build an embankment." When Li Yu heard this, his face was as white as snow, and he frowned and asked, "How about not saying that you won't go?" Li wiped his tears and said, "I asked, I don't have to go if I pay thirty taels." Li Yu raised a hill on his forehead, sighed and said, "Our family, where can we get this number." Li Shi thought about it and said, "Otherwise, let's borrow some from the uncle's family, and then return it after we sell the pigs and grain at the end of the year." Next year, the two brothers will not go to school. Li Yu thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's the only way." Li Yu thought for a while, laughed and said: "Zhu's idea is good, his talent Hongwen is worth thirty taels of silver." After hearing this, Li also broke into tears and smiled: "Not really." This official may never have thought of a talented Hongwen who farms. Li Yu nodded with a smile when he thought of his happiness, and said, "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

Outside the courtyard, Li Zhuzheng took out the red text to show the officer, Li Hai's four brothers and sisters followed behind Li Zhu, Li Hai's brothers were curious, and Binbin thought that he would definitely have to deal with these officers and soldiers in the future, and it would be good to see what kind of people they were at this time.

The official only glanced at Li Zhu's red text, and said with a smile: "The Li family has two talents, we have a record, okay, your family doesn't need to go." At this time, Li Yu just walked out. The official asked, "How is your family going?" To go or not to go? Li Yu asked cautiously: "If you don't go, where will the money be paid?" The official had such an expression on his face, and said, "Handed it over to the yamen in the town, someone specially registered." Only two days, remember. After speaking, the official drank the porridge in one gulp, and then swaggered away.

Li Zhu asked, "Brother, are you going to pay the money?" Li Yu said: "The official said, this time I will build an embankment." When Li Zhu heard this, his face changed, he exhaled, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you have already decided not to go." The next time there is such a conscription, I will ask where I went. Li Yu looked at Li and said, "Fortunately, your sister-in-law was careful and asked." Li Zhu nodded and asked, "Big brother, how can I not go?" What did the official say just now that he didn't pay the money? ”

Li Yuying said: "The official said, if you don't go, you will pay thirty taels of silver." When Li Zhu heard this, he took a breath, then asked with a sigh of relief: "A few months ago, my family sold chickens and got fifteen taels of silver, so I will give them to you." Anyway, I can't use it at home now. ”

The four brothers and sisters of Li Hai sighed in their hearts after hearing this, the family originally planned to build a small house, and the family moved out, so it would be more spacious. After hearing this, Li Yu smiled and said, "I plan to borrow some from you and my uncle's family." During the Chinese New Year, I will sell the pigs and grain and return it to you, and I will not let the two brothers Li Tian go to school next year. ”

Li Zhuyi disagreed and said, "Big brother, the child's books still have to be read." During the Chinese New Year, you will pay back your uncle's money, and mine will be the same next year. Li Yu nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Okay, the eldest brother is not polite to you, he will listen to you." ”

Li Zhu saw that the eldest brother was not confused, so he went into the house and told the Deng family about it, and took the silver to Li Yu. Li Yu thanked him, and after taking the silver, he went to his uncle's house to borrow two pieces of silver. Li Zhu asked Li Yu if he needed to go with him. Li Yu immediately said that he didn't need it. Li Zhu touched his nose and had to give up.

Deng cleaned up a small pot, filled it with some steamed buns and eggs, and took a pot of goat's milk, and the family went out happily. When he went out, he saw the eldest aunt running over in a hurry, Li Zhu greeted with a smile: "Auntie." ”

Seeing that Li Zhu's family looked like they were going out, the eldest aunt said quickly: "Zhu, you guys have been helping to look at the door of the house for the past two days, and I will go to town with your uncle." (To be continued.) )
