Chapter 12: The Ownership of the Calf

Li Zhu looked at Deng's face and was so frightened that he immediately said, "Min'er, I'm fine, it's just that today at the market, a cow was frightened and hit me." The owner of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info took me to show Dr. Kang, that's it, we are strong, rub some herbs and it's fine. I brought back herbs. The owner of the cow was a real person, gave money for the herbs, and sold a calf to me cheaply. After hearing this, Deng asked Li Zhuming'er to ask Dr. Zhang to come to the house to have a look, so that she could feel at ease. Li Zhu saw that Deng's face had improved, and hurriedly agreed. Deng asked Li Zhu to pick up his clothes and let her look at the silt. Li Zhu refused, but when he wanted to hurt his back, he couldn't. When Deng saw that Li Zhu's back was black and purple, tears couldn't stop falling, and Li Zhu was busy comforting again. Li Haixiao saw that Li Zhu's back was black and purple, Li Tao and Li Bo cried: "Daddy hurts, Daddy hurts." Li Tao pursed his lips tightly and fanned Li Zhu's back with his little hand. Li Zhu comforted: "Daddy is fine, Doctor Kang said, looking at the tears, it didn't hurt the inside, and it will be good to raise it for a few days." Alas, our family is sick at this time. Deng glanced at Li Zhu and said, "Bring the herbs here, and I'll see you rub them." Li Zhu hurriedly responded, and finally said: "I asked Dr. Kang, this herb can be rubbed for more than two months, so I didn't take another medicine for myself." Deng said: "Hurt the muscles and bones for 100 days, two months of medicine is not enough." In the past few days, you don't want to go anywhere, just stay at home with a few of us. We've got it back. In a few days, the old man will distribute the food to our family, and you will take care of it. Li Zhu thought for a while and said: "This is not very good, the rice is harvested, and we have to rush to plant vegetables." Deng cried: "I know, it's not impossible, now your body is damaged, my body is lost, I will be raised, and there will be hope in the future, otherwise like the sister-in-law in the west of the village, she will get sick every few months, and she will be raised with medicine, which will make everyone tired." Your mother is not afraid that we will be tired of sharing the home. Li Zhu listened to the back for a while, and he was used to listening to Deng's words, so he just said the truth and had no intention of arguing, so he nodded and concentrated on teasing his daughter and son. Deng Shi looked at Li Zhudao: "Yesterday, my mother secretly gave me ten taels of silver, and now we also have more than twenty taels of silver, and there is still some grain, which is enough for our family to eat until next year." Li Zhu nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case, and stopped talking. After Deng rubbed the medicine on him, the family washed and slept.

The next day, Li Zhu and Deng heard a sound in the courtyard in a daze, Li Zhu put on a coat, let Deng lie down, and went to the courtyard to see the situation by himself. At this time, Li Hai's brothers were also woken up, and Deng asked them to get up and teach them to dress themselves. Then he took out the "Thousand Family Poems", "Three Character Classic", "Kindergarten Qionglin" and so on given by Deng Juren from the pillow, selected them, and decided to teach his brothers a few to read the "Three Character Classic".

Li Zhu came out of the room and listened more clearly, only to hear Mama Li crying, louder than the other: "Alas, alas, alas, alas, alas, alas, alas" Li persuaded beside him: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Mama Li said: "People who grind their hearts, buy cattle and sheep after separation." In the past few years, we have raised white-eyed wolves and raised daughters for other people's families. After Li Zhu heard this, he was extremely angry, and he couldn't go up or down in one breath. rushed into Mama Li's room and shouted: "Let's grind our hearts, how can the people in our room grind their hearts." Min'er was born prematurely, and we didn't make a fuss. The cow was given by Min'er's mother's family, Deng Juren saw that we had nothing, and my body was damaged again, so I asked the livestock to help do some farm work, grow some vegetables and sell them, and fill the medicine money. Our family is now counting on the food we have received to survive this winter. Li Yu listened nervously and hurriedly said, "Zhu'er, how is your body damaged." ”

Li Zhu looked at the people in the room, and the old man Li was knocking on the cigarette bag and was silent; Mama Li stopped crying, and stared at Li Zhu with Li Dao, Wang, and Wu in the second room; Li Yu and Li Shi looked at Li Zhu nervously. Li Zhudao: "I was hit on the back by a cow. If you break your muscles and bones, you won't be able to do any heavy work in a hundred days. Li Yu listened and said, "What is this, please ask Dr. Zhang to take a look." Should I take medicine and take medicine, is money tight? Brother, this has four taels of silver, but you can get it first. After hearing this, Li Zhu hurriedly said: "Big brother, it's okay, just rest a little more and be orderly, don't go through so much research." Li said: "That's the reason, but let Dr. Zhang take a look, we feel comfortable." Li Zhu said gratefully: "I was hit in the town and let Dr. Kang take a look." There's no need to break the bank. Li Yu said: "What did your daughter-in-law say?" Li Zhu said sweetly: "She advocated that Dr. Zhang have another diagnosis in front of her." Li Yu said: "That's the case, just do it according to your daughter-in-law, and I'll help you call Dr. Zhang over later." ”

Mama Li looked at the two rooms and one person, and cried again, "People say that the adopted daughter is outward, and the male baby I gave birth to is a little handsome, and he is also outward." What a mess. Li Zhu should be filial piety, and he can't be too angry with Mama Li, and said to Mama Li: "Mother, how are you old?" Mama Li immediately said: "Zhu'er, you see your father and I, our old couple with old arms and legs, it is not convenient to go to the ground, your cow should be filial to our two elders." As soon as Li Zhu heard this, he became angry, and dared to feel that what he had just said was not clear.

Li Yu frowned and said: "Mother, didn't Zhu'er say it, this is the old man of the in-law family who understands Zhu'er's family and gave it to them." The Zhu'er family is working hard at this time, and the cattle are small, so they can't be tired. "What is this labor, the disease of the children's family, the small, just don't need to farm, the cattle are raised, it is better to be filial to the two of us old." Also, you can't plant your land at this time, so it's better to plant it for the two of us, and it can also help you fatten. After Li Zhu heard this, he coughed violently for a while, and said astringently: "Mother, the cow is still young, and it still needs to be fed for some time." We want to tidy up the fields, there are many sick people in our family, medicine is expensive, and we want to sell some vegetables and make some money to survive the winter. It's not a problem to always let Hamahama's grandfather help. I went to town this time and took more than half of Min'er's dowry. I haven't seen the world, I bought a sheep, and I lost it. After hearing this, Mama Li exclaimed: "It's your personal business to lose your daughter-in-law's dowry, and it has nothing to do with us." The sheep are still yours, and the cattle and the land are filial to our two old men. ”

Li Zhu was so angry that he coughed and said, "I pulled this cow and sheep back yesterday, of course it belongs to my family." Of course, our land is also ours. Dad didn't just give the deed. Li Yu helped Li Zhu to be smooth, and said, "Mother, I am not as obedient as you." The land was divided to us, and my father and Zhu'er signed it. The cow was given by Min'er's mother's family, if you take it like this, Deng Juren knows that we can't afford it. Old Man Li listened to Deng Juren's name and said: "What the father-in-law gave to Zhu'er, Zhu'er should be treated well, don't make a fuss." Li Dao said: "Mother, what the third daughter-in-law's mother's family gave is equivalent to a dowry, and Zhu'er can't call the shots." After hearing this, Mama Li howled a few times and then stopped. After thinking about it, he cried again: "I am really miserable, a son who has worked hard to raise and serve the daughters of other families." We're all miserable. I can't live this day. Li Zhu looked at Mama Li crying, and his heart was blocked. He figured it out, his family just shouldn't be able to get by, and everyone cares about everything. He didn't say anything, nodded with Li Yu and Li and went back to the room, and when he entered the room, he saw Deng teaching Li Haiyan to read and write with the rising sun, and his daughter was lying on the kang and falling asleep, and her heart was warm, as if something was filled.
