Two weeks later, Li Quan and Li Mu both returned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThey brought back two carts full of grain, prepared their own family's food for a year, and added Li Zhu's family's food for a year. After the two brothers came back, they heard about the family's plans, and they all thought it would be feasible, so they each bought two pieces of land, intending to settle down here for the time being, and when the limelight passed, the two brothers still planned to go back to the town to do business, and the shop and the house in the town were only rented to people, not sold.

Li Zhujia thought that the two brothers were successful, and they both assisted the two brothers in buying land and settling down. The children also came back, and they all moved to the village school and went to and from school with Li Tian and Li Shu.

The uncle's family already had an empty house for the two brothers, and they just needed to pack up and move in. The two brothers put the grain into the cellar of the Li Zhu family, just because the cellar of the Li Zhu family was larger.

The two brothers did not farm, they simply only had four acres of land, and when they bought it, they bought it together with the grain in the field, which saved a lot of effort. Li Zhu and Li Yu were divided to help take care of it, and when there was no natural destruction, the crops in the field grew well. Li Quan and Li Mu couldn't help in the field, so they had to help dig the cellar.

Hamahama was depressed, and when the family was just right, it was rumored that the country was going to be in chaos, which hit Hamahama, who was bent on getting rich.

Now the family has no money, and it is impossible to move far away to avoid chaos. For the safety of his family, Hamahama had to circle the cellar every day to see if there was anything he could do to improve.

After another week, Master Mu's family came over. Brought a wagon of grain. The wooden lady was attentive and brought three quilts and some wooden boards.

Li Zhu was infinitely happy about the arrival of Master Mu's family. As soon as Master Mu got out of the car, he smiled and said to Li Zhu: "Zhu, the master's family is here to take refuge in you." "Li Zhu's family is infinitely welcome. Master Mu's family was polite, saying that they would not live in Old Man Li's house, but lived in Li Zhu's original firewood house and now in a small house. Master Mu was skillful and built an extra board on the small kang, and when he slept, a family of three just slept on it. On weekdays, the board is put away, and it can barely be lived.

Li Zhu's family saw that the master had made up his mind, so they helped paste the window with paper, so that the room was even warmer.

On the winter solstice, the Li family was busy early in the morning. This year, Master Mu, Li Quan and Li Mu's family are all back, and Li Zhu, Li Quan and Li Mu all planned to make a fuss together. But Mr. Li and Li Hongshen disagreed. Both of the older generation said that they didn't know when they would mess up and couldn't spend money like this.

Deng thought that he would have a festival, so he prepared rice balls, killed a chicken, and made three fresh soups. The three fresh soups here are different from our current three fresh soups, and there are only turnips, tofu and fish here. This is a dish that can be served on the table in a farmhouse.

Since the radish is grown by his own family, the tofu does not cost a few dollars, and the fish is caught by Li Zhu and Li Mu, and it is difficult for Mr. Li and Li Hongshen to say anything.

At noon, after lunch, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, Li Yu opened the door, and saw Li Cuihua pulling a fat-headed and big-eared child at the door of the house. Li Cuihua saw Li Yu hurriedly said to the child: "Gui'er, hurry, this is an uncle, called uncle." ”

Li Yu looked at it and asked with a surprised face: "Cuihua, this is your son." Li Cuihua nodded and said happily: "Yes, big brother, I finally told this kid to come and have a look today." The child has always been watched by Zhang Ran's mother, and he is very spoiled. It's been a bumpy ride, and I haven't caught my breath yet. ”

Zhang Gui stared at the uncle in front of him with wide eyes, Li Yu's eyes were bright, because of long-term farming, his whole body was brown from the sun, and he was wearing clean and neat burlap clothes. Zhang Gui looked at Li Yu, suddenly pinched his nose and said, "Mother, it stinks here, go quickly." ”

When Li Yu heard this, his face darkened. This kid is really uneducated and underbeaten.

Li Cuihua said to Li Yu embarrassedly: "Big brother, I'm sorry, the child is spoiled." After speaking, he patted Zhang Gui and said, "Gui'er, apologize quickly." This is your uncle, this is your mother's family, and your mother used to grow up here. ”

Zhang Gui looked at his mother and said, "How is it possible?" My friends all say that my mother is a beautiful woman with a radius of 100 miles, how could she grow up in such a smelly place? ”

This time, even Li Cuihua's face darkened. Li Cuihua pinched Zhang Gui's ears and said, "How old are you, what kind of beauty?" What is stinking? What did you learn in school? Did all of this be said by your friends in school? Did your teacher teach you? ”

Zhang Gui clasped Zhang Cuihua's hand with both hands and said, "Mother, pain, mother's pain, it was not said by a friend in the school, it was said by Qian Xiaopang in the neighboring town." ”

After Li Cuihua heard this, she twisted even more energetically, "How many times have I said it, and I will play less with Qian Xiaopang in the future." That kid wasn't a good thing. The set of things in his house can't be used in our house, no, it can't be used anywhere. ”

Zhang Gui broke free of Li Cuihua's hand and said, "Qian Xiaopang is my good friend, and many of the things he said are true. Like the maid ring in my grandmother's room, she wants to be my aunt, but it's not all true. ”

Li Cuihua was so excited by Zhang Gui's words that she clapped her hand on Zhang Gui's face and said, "Are you listening to your mother, or listening to the little fat man." Do you want to be a talent and become a big thing, or do you just want to stay in this small courtyard and count meters every day. ”

Zhang Gui was pampered and raised, why did he suffer such anger. Even if Li Cuihua didn't have much strength and didn't make the effort to shoot, she still burst into tears. He didn't say anything, just lowered his head.

Li Cuihua apologized to her eldest brother Li Yu vigorously, saying that the child needed to be disciplined. Li Yu saw that the child was crying, shook his head, turned over, and let Li Cuihua's mother and son in.

Li Cuihua beckoned the carriage in, and dragged Zhang Gui inside.

Li Cuihua sat down on a stool under the peach tree in the courtyard of Li Zhu's house, and then pressed Zhang Gui to sit down. Li Cuihua looked at the people in the courtyard, and everyone who was familiar with Li Zhu was there, and she made up her mind, looked at Old Man Li and said, "Dad, I received Zhu's letter." I also read the letter with Zhang Ran. But the people in the family made fun of our family's small things, and it was a few years before they said that the turmoil would be a few years later. And there is always a store of food at home, so there is no need to prepare anything. ”

As she spoke, Li Cuihua couldn't hold back her tears, she wiped her tears, and said, "I pondered, the old man will never make something out of nothing, and the big academies of others have been partially relocated, and these nepotistic people must see it more deeply than those of us who only have eyes in the village." When Li Cuihua said this, she wiped her tears again, and said with sadness on her face: "I see that everyone is not moving, thinking about the child." ruthlessly, he lifted the maid ring in his mother's room as an aunt, and then told the people in the family that he was unwell, and went back to his mother's house to recuperate, and brought Gui'er back. ”

When Hamahama heard this, he secretly praised in his heart: Yes, no matter when, with the official, not to mention eating meat, you can still get some soup. The aunt's judgment is comparable to herself. But I am standing at the height of history, and my aunt came up with it on her own, which shows that my aunt is extremely smart.

After hearing this, Old Man Li shook his head and said, "You kid doesn't think about things. You carry an aunt out, and you won't be upset when you go back in the future? ”

Li Cuihua wiped her tears and said, "Dad, if I don't carry an aunt, do you think Zhang Ran will stay in the empty room for so long?" It's better for me to be a favor. Old Man Li thought about it, didn't say anything, and sighed helplessly. Li Yu and Li Zhu both sighed after hearing this. Li Quan asked, "Cuihua, what are you going to do when you go home?" ”

Li Cuihua looked at everyone and asked Old Man Li, "Dad, what are you going to do?" I listen to you. Old Man Li looked at everyone and told him what he was going to do. Li Cuihua nodded after hearing this, and said, "Yes, this is a method." ”

Li Cuihua watched the housekeeper unload all the things in the carriage to the ground, and said to the housekeeper gently: "Uncle Qin, you go home." I stayed with the young master at my mother's house for a few days. ”

The family member who was called Uncle Qin bowed respectfully, beckoned the others, and led the carriage out.

Li Cuihua pointed to a bunch of things and said, "I carried an aunt for him, and Zhang Ran and his mother gave these things as soon as they were happy." When everyone heard this, they were all drawn to it. I saw five bags of rice, three quilts, and a bag of medicine, all of which were wrapped in bags, and on a small piece of paper they were written down in what situation and what they ate, and three bags of cured pork. There is also a square, waist-high wooden wardrobe with a lock.

Old Man Li looked at it and said, "He is also a person with a heart." Li Cuihua shook her head after hearing this, and said, "Dad, these are really nothing to that family." Alas. ”

After hearing this, Old Man Li sighed helplessly, shook his head, took out his cigarette stick, and took a puff, as if to calm the anger in his heart.

Hamahama looked at it, nodded, and didn't say anything, just those medicines were good, but fortunately, the aunt was smart and said that it was to recuperate.

Hamahama looked at his aunt and was suddenly shocked. I saw General Zhang Guizhang's eyes on the upper and lower lines, looking at himself fixedly. Li Hai also found out, and walked to the front of Hamahama to block Zhang Gui's view. Zhang Gui looked at Li Hai, who was handsome, stunned for a moment, and reluctantly raised his head. Only then did Zhang Gui take a serious look at the people in the courtyard. The courtyard is full of people, and the most prominent thing is Li Zhu's family, handsome men and beautiful women, and Li Hai's brother is also starry and big-eyed. Master Mu, Li Quan and Li Mu had seen them in the town before, Old Man Li, Li Hongshen and Aunt Sun were all dressed as peasant families, and their appearance was not very outstanding, a bit like the servants at home.

Zhang Gui turned to Li Hai and asked, "Who are you?" Just now Zhang Guiding looked at Binbin, Li Hai didn't have a good impression of him at all, so he ignored it directly, moved a stool, and sat between Binbin and Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui thought that this was not his home, and he had just been beaten by his mother again, looking at Li Hai, although he was smaller than himself, his straight and straight body sat like a big man somewhere. Zhang Gui grew up in the courtyard of the house since he was a child, and he didn't know how to do things on weekdays, but he still had this bit of eyesight, thinking that he had just heard that he was going to stay here for a while, and he didn't dare to make trouble with him, so he looked at his mother.

Li Cuihua looked at Li Hai, looked at her own children, and thought, when Zhang Gui is like Li Hai, I am willing to live a few years short. Li Cuihua said to Zhang Gui: "This is your third uncle's eldest son, your younger brother, Li Hai, and behind Hai'er is his sister, Li Binbin, Binbin." The two twins next to you are your younger brother, Li Bo and Li Tao. ”

Zhang Gui looked at Li Tao and Li Bo with the introduction of Feng Li Cuihua, and smiled with a novel smile. Li Cuihua continued to introduce the people in the courtyard one by one, the elders and the children. Zhang Gui looked at the children in the yard and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Gui, and I am your brother." ”

Zhang Gui is ten years old this year, older than Li Shu, Li Qiunu, Li Qiyi, Li Hai, Li Sisen, and Li Sibin. The child was an only child at home, and no one was playing. At this moment, I suddenly saw an elder brother (Li Sien), a younger brother (Li Tian) of the same year, nine younger brothers, so many playmates, and my heart was already happy, smiling at my brother and brother's listening. Li Cuihua looked at Zhang Gui like this and smiled happily.

Old Man Li looked at Zhang Gui, smiled, and said to Li Cuihua: "Cuihua, you two live with your father, I have a room in the house." Everything is ready-made, these new quilts of yours, put them first. It's going to be messy, let's save on everything. Li Cuihua nodded after hearing this, and said, "Dad, I can save it, and I also brought some of my previous clothes." That wardrobe is my clothes. There are more, and the sister-in-law and Min and Chunhua will come to me to see if there is a suitable one, and if you can use it, if you don't dislike it, just pick a few, we are about the same size, and we can wear it together. ”

The Li family, the Deng family, and the Wu family all shook their heads when they heard this, and the Li family said: "His aunt, it's not that we dislike it, we are all Zhuang families, and we work all the time, and your clothes are not suitable." Li Cuihua looked at Li's Mai, looked at her own clothes, and said apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, I didn't think it through." Li shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay." ”

Deng asked Li Cuihua, "Eldest sister, can you have dinner?" Li Cuihua sighed and said, "No." ”

After hearing this, Wu and Li were busy setting up bowls for Li Cuihua and Zhang Gui, and Wu smiled and said, "Eldest sister, don't dislike it, we have just eaten." This is a left-over vegetable and rice ball, all home-grown, you can try it. Li Cuihua took the bowl and said with a smile: "What's disliked, I used to do it at home." Tomorrow I will sell a few juan clothes and buy a few linen clothes. I'm going to live at home for a while this time, so we can't open our mouths for clothes and stretch out our hands for food. ”

The crowd laughed. Hamahama smiled after hearing this, this aunt felt pretty good.

As soon as Li Cuihua was talking to everyone, Zhang Gui and Li Shu became acquainted, Zhang Gui pointed to Li Shu and said to Li Cuihua: "Mother, Brother Potato will recite the "Three Character Classic". ”

After Li Cuihua heard this, she didn't look at Zhang Gui, and responded while loading the rice balls by herself: "Li Shu is eight years old, what's strange about knowing the "Three Character Classic", Binbin will know that book when he is one year old. Zhang Gui opened his mouth after hearing this, Li Shu looked at Zhang Gui funny, and asked with a smile: "Brother Gui, what are you studying?" You're familiar with the "Three Character Classic", right? I definitely didn't bring this book with me. Can you show me your book later? Did you bring any other books with you? ”

The children of the Li family are studious, but the family does not have the conditions to buy books other than those taught in the study hall.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui closed his mouth and said: "Our husband said that reading is not about reading, how many books you have read, you must read thoroughly." You have to know the meaning of it. ”

When Li Shu heard this, he thought that Zhang Gui was stingy and was reluctant to lend the book, and said: "The "Three Character Classic" can be memorized by everyone in our family, and my brother and Li Hai can even memorize the annotations. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Gui opened his mouth, looked at his brother and brother in the courtyard, and thought that he couldn't even memorize the "Three Character Classic", and he was not the only one in the class who couldn't memorize it completely. Suddenly I felt like what the gentleman said about a well and a frog. At this time, Zhang Gui's dissatisfaction with dragging his mother over disappeared.

Here, both adults and children have an indescribable respect for readers.

Zhang Gui obediently sat down and ate rice balls. Li Cuihua saw her son's face and smiled, knowing that her son was angry at this moment. Li Cuihua sighed in her heart and thought: Gui'er, I hope you understand your mother's hard work.

After Li Cuihua waited for Zhang Gui to eat, she hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and wanted to take them to the well to wash. The Li family, the Wu family, and the Deng family dared to let Li Cuihua do things, and they were busy coming over to fight, and the old man Li smiled: "Don't fight, she has done it at home before, and it's not a thing, let her get used to it, I don't know how long she will live in the future." ”

After hearing this, Li Cuihua responded with a smile: "That's the reason, okay, sister-in-law, Min, Chunhua, just these two bowls, you let me behave, I won't grab it if I have more." The crowd laughed with amusement.

The things that Li Cuihua moved over were also put into Li Zhu's cellar, which was to prepare for living in the cellar in the future.

On the second day, when Li Cuihua was having dinner in the evening, she took out five taels of silver on the dinner table and said to Li Yu and Li Zhu: "Big brother, third brother, I have to stay for a while when I come back this time, and I can't eat and live for nothing." The days of the two of you are just enough, you can take the five taels of silver first, and use them for our mother's weekdays. Li Yu and Li Zhugang wanted to resign, but Li Cuihua said again: "You just look down on me by refusing to resign." Li Yu and Li Zhu were speechless.

Li Cuihua looked at the two brothers, her heart was a little sweet, and she said with a smile: "Big brother, Zhu, you accept it, I can be justified when I eat, you say no." ”

Li Yu's family and Li Zhu's family all laughed after hearing this. Li Cuihua said again: "Big brother, Zhu, don't worry, these five taels of silver are not too big a lot for me." I have saved some on weekdays, but this time I came over, Zhang Ran gave some, and my mother-in-law rewarded some, I calculated, I still have plenty of money now. As you know, my mother and I don't have much use on weekdays, and we don't have to do anything in this house, and we can do some embroidery work on weekdays. ”

After Li Yu and Li Zhu heard this, they glanced at each other, nodded their heads, and accepted them separately. Li Cuihua looked at it and smiled, took out a tael of silver and gave it to Old Man Li and said, "Dad, this is for you, it's not the house money, it's your daughter's filial piety to you." After hearing this, Old Man Li smiled and said, "Good, good, good." ”

Li Cuihua said to Li Yu: "Big brother, now that Zhang Gui has returned to the village, I want to give you a bundle of cultivation in the school here, and this study must not be left behind." Li Yu nodded after hearing this, and said, "Okay, I'll take Zhang Gui to the study hall tomorrow." Li Cuihua thanked her happily after hearing this. With the eldest brother coming out, this thing looks like it's done.

After Li Cuihua came back, she embroidered in the house and helped cook at mealtime. Everyone watched Li Cuihua do embroidery work without stopping, thinking that when she came back this time, there should not be as much money in her hands as she said, this is for Zhang Guiji to repair and plan for the future, it seems that Li Cuihua is prepared for the worst, and she takes care of both of them on weekdays.

After another two weeks, there was no news of Li Dao and Li Cuiqiao. Old Man Li had to ask Uncle Zhang and Old Man Yu to go to the neighboring town and go to the neighboring village to inquire about the situation. Both of them are experts in this area, and Old Man Yu, who went to the neighboring village, came back the same day. told everyone about Li Cuiqiao's plan. Wu Jiajun's hometown is in the mountains, and when he heard this, he packed up his things and planned to move his family back to the mountains. When I was going to leave, I told the Li family about it.

When Old Man Li heard this, he said angrily: "These people who have no conscience just think about themselves, and they are afraid that the people of their mother's family will follow them to touch her light, I really don't know how to do it!" When Old Man Yu heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, alas, your second daughter, it's true." Old Qitou, don't be angry, these individuals are not worth it. Old Man Li sighed, closed the money he inquired about, and sat in the courtyard with a lonely face.

Li Hongshen couldn't look at it, and said: "What do you think, that person doesn't even want his father and mother, you think." The cellar that is waiting for you to dig here, you don't see it, but just sit. When Old Man Li heard this, he patted his big feet and said, "Yes, dig the cellar." I'll be one less daughter. ”

Li Hongshen was not easy to persuade in this kind of family matter, so he didn't say anything more.

At dinner on the second day, Uncle Zhang, who went to a neighboring town, brought back news of Li Dao. Everyone warmly greeted Uncle Zhang for dinner. Uncle Zhang drank a bowl of soup with a hateful face, and said: "I won't eat the rice, I want to talk about it, in the future, about Li Dao, our old Zhang family will not accept it, what kind of person is this." Is! I don't even need to talk about him, just a show talent, and this show talent is not the same as us. ”

Old Man Li's face wrinkled after hearing this, and Li Yu asked, "Uncle Zhang, what did my second brother say?" Uncle Zhang said angrily: "What do you say, I went to him and scolded me for saying rumors to confuse the public." I'm messing with someone, I'm kind enough to remind you, he said this about me. That's not a good one. ”

After hearing this, Hamahama thought about it and felt that the second uncle's reaction was also expected. If the dean of Xiyue Academy migrated to the mountains like his grandfather, the second uncle couldn't lift it in his hands or shoulder it, and the Wang family and the concubine were used to it, which made their family how to live. And he just bought a house, and the family should not have any savings, and the affairs of the academy have nothing to do with him. The second uncle still has the identity of Xiucai, as long as he has food reserves, even if there is turmoil, the impact will not be great.

Old Man Li sighed, Li Yu thanked Uncle Zhang vigorously and couldn't compensate Uncle Zhang for Li Dao. Uncle Zhang said a few words, his heart was relieved, and he stayed for dinner before going home. (To be continued.) )
