Chapter 1 The Four Walls of the Home
"Ah Mei, Ah Mei, wake up, my precious daughter, wake up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
As soon as Li Mei woke up, he saw a woman in her thirties looking at her with an anxious face.
What the? Daughter? Li Mei looked at herself, her body was like a twelve-year-old girl, didn't she cross by herself? And the woman in front of her is her own ancient mother? Li Mei couldn't sit still and struggled to get up.
Before she could get up, she was held down by the woman in front of her: "Good daughter, don't get up, have a good rest, I'll go make you some hot soup." The woman gently pressed the corners of the quilt on Li Mei, and then got up and went out.
Li Mei looked at the furnishings in the room, only a bed where he was lying, a cabinet, a stool, a wooden board, and a stone underneath, barely a table. This seems to be his own bedroom, and the light is dim. She is far away, and can only be described as a family with four walls. But you can see the hostess's intentions, because although the things are simple, they are spotlessly clean and neat.
Li Mei was a little discouraged, in her previous life, she was an ordinary office worker, she had just saved enough for the down payment of the house, and was about to start implementing her wish to buy a small house and bring her parents to her side, when she suddenly came to ancient times, and she had nothing overnight. I can't help it in ancient times, but it seems that this poor family has nothing to say. She sighed there for a while, she was not afraid of poverty at all, her fighting spirit rose again, she believed that through struggle, she could slowly change. As long as she is there, she can change the predicament of this family. She is like that, she is never afraid to start all over again, and she always has a passion in her heart to create a new life.
Li Mei's mind returned to the present, and he didn't know who else was in the family besides his mother.
At this time, the woman came in with a bowl of soup: "Ah Mei, come and drink some soup to make up for your body, you have not been in good health since you were a child." The woman was about to shed tears as she spoke.
Li Mei saw that there were egg flowers in the bowl, and she was also very moved, this family seemed to be very poor, but the parents still insisted on giving delicious food to their children.
She lowered her head and called softly: "Mother, you can eat some too." ”
The mother agreed, stroking her head: "Good boy, you are weak, eat more." ”
At this time, the courtyard gate creaked, and a boy's voice sounded: "Daddy is back." ”
Mother stood up: "Ah Mei, it's your father who is back." ”
She shouted loudly: "Bao, let your father come in and rest, don't pester your father to talk." ”
Only then did Li Mei know that there were four people in the family and a younger brother.
She saw a boy in the doorway probing his brain, his eyes were black, and the boy of the ghost elf was looking at her.
She liked this brother very much, and said, "Bao, come in, let my sister see you." ”
Po came in, his clothes covered in dirt, and he was obviously a naughty boy.
Daddy came in, and Li Mei saw that he had a bit of a Confucian temperament, but he exuded a hearty atmosphere.
As soon as he came in, he first saw if Ah Mei was better, and Ah Mei smiled with him. He saw that Ah Mei's face was a little ruddy, and he was relieved.
Li Mei has officially become a member of this family since then, and she thinks that since she can't go back, she will be safe if she comes.
Her personality is relatively open-minded and can be at ease with what happens.
In the past few days, she has also learned about her own situation intermittently.
I have now returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the place where I am is in the metropolitan county. At this time, there was still war, and the Tang Dynasty had not yet unified the whole country, so Li Mei knew that it was still a troubled time at this time.
Li Mei didn't want to think so much, these were too far away from her life.
My father's name is Liu Jun, thirty-two years old, he is a local, and he has an uncle Liu Hu, who is only seventeen years old and lives with his brother.
Daddy read some books and is now working as a clerk for others, barely making ends meet.
Her mother's name is Wang Leyi, she was thirty years old, and she married her father at the age of eighteen, giving birth to her daughter Ah Mei and her youngest son Ah Bao.
There is also an uncle, Wang Jing'an, who runs a shop in the county and can barely get by. It's just that my aunt is more domineering, and my uncle is helpless.
Ah Mei is also satisfied, although the family is poor, but her father is loving, her mother is caring, and her younger brother is lively and lovely.
She has been getting better these days, and she is also walking around the courtyard.
There are a total of three main rooms in this small courtyard, in the middle is Liu Jun and his wife live, and on the right facing the gate is Liu Hu, and Ah Bao sometimes lives with his uncle in this room. The room on the left is Ah Mei's, and the girl has to have her own room when she is older.
In the lower courtyard, near Mei's room, is the kitchen.
There are some vegetables planted in the yard, and although there is nothing in the small yard, it is properly cleaned up by Liu Jun and his wife, which is very comfortable.
As a housewife, Le Yi also tried her best to save, but Liu Jun didn't have much income, and she had to support this big family, so she couldn't arrange it any way.
At noon, when Mei'er was napping, Liu Jun and Le Yi were talking there, and Mei'er heard it.
Le Yi said: "Mei'er has spent a lot of money when she is sick this month, and we don't have much money. ”
Liu Jun sighed: "I'll think of a way again." Mei'er's body is already relatively weak, so she can't make up for it. ”
Le Yi said: "Aunt Wang asked her to do the needlework to be completed in a few days, and it will come in handy at that time." ”
Liu Jun looked at Le Yi and said, "Le Yi, thank you for your hard work." I'm tired of letting you follow me, and you don't have to be tired of yourself. I'll go and see if I can withdraw some of my salary for the next month. ”
Le Yi said: "Don't embarrass yourself too much. ”
Liu Jun nodded.
He went out and prepared to go to the yamen to have a look. He was just a clerk, doing some copying and writing all day long, and although he worked hard, he could only barely make ends meet. He couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, his eldest husband had read so many books, not to mention showing his life's ambitions, and it was difficult to even support his family.
At this moment, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of him, and he went over to take a look, and it turned out that the imperial court was recruiting soldiers.
He had never thought of fighting before, so he came out knowing what he was doing.
The people inside shouted to him: "Defecting to the army is also a good way out, if you do a good job, you will also have a chance, think about it." ”
He hesitated because of this sentence, yes, the tree is dead, the person is alive, and he works hard every day here to live, and there is no improvement, why don't you try?
An officer saw his concerns and said to him: "It is the duty of a man to protect his family and defend the country, why don't you come out and fight?" ”
He looked at the officer, who nodded affirmatively at him.
His heart also burned, and the pride in his chest that had been suppressed by life raised his head again.
