Chapter Seventy-Seven: Relatives

Li Changyuan looked at his mother, and sure enough, he saw that she was holding a young woman in his arms, it was his brother-in-law Xie Shi.

Seeing Li Changyuan looking over, Xie Shi got up embarrassedly, saluted him, and said with a slight smile: "Big brother is back." ”

Li Changyuan bowed his head lightly, and in an instant, the others were also busy coming to see the gifts, and the little nephew and several underage younger brothers of the same generation all surrounded him in the middle, chattering and talking.

"Big brother, what did you bring us back this time?"

"Big brother, last time I asked you to help me get a dagger, did you get it?"

"Big brother, did you encounter anything interesting outside this time? Tell us about it! ”

"Big brother, I'll tell you secretly, A-Niang said that you are going to marry a sister-in-law for you and come back......"

"Uncle, uncle, I want a horse, when will you take me to pick one?"

Li Changyuan was not impatient at all, and responded one by one, and finally picked up his little nephew Li Tao, who wanted a horse, and threw it, pinched his red face and said, "Sue me, Li Tao's friend, how old are you this year?" ”

The little guy counted with his fingers, and finally told him with certainty, "Uncle, I'm four years old!" ”

"You know you're only four years old, huh? Can your legs be as tall as a horse's legs? Do your little arms reach the neck of a horse? Can you ride a horse now? ”

Li Tao also knew that he was disgusted by his uncle for being short, so he pouted his mouth and was unhappy, and raised his neck and said loudly: "Who said I can't?" I can, I can. ”

hugged his neck again, "Uncle, uncle, pick a horse for me!" I want a horse so badly! Grandparents, fathers, and brothers all have horses, but I am not the only one at home, and I don't rely on them! I must have a horse! ”

Li Changyuan didn't get used to his bad temper, he slapped his little ass with a slap, and said with a tiger face: "Li Tao, who taught you to be like this, no big or small?" What do you have to get your hands on? It's not right for you to do that, do you know? ”

Li Tao's little friend was taught a lesson by him, and when he boarded, there were tears in his big eyes, and he looked at him pitifully, wanting to cry or not.

Li Changyuan was soft-hearted by him for a while, but he knew that children had to be taught from an early age, and if they got used to his problems, they would have to grow into a gentleman in the future, and their lives would be ruined.

The other people in the hall were not easy to intervene, and even the Xie family, who was a mother, did not step forward to stop him, after all, they all knew that Li Changyuan taught him a lesson for Li Tao's good, and he cared for and loved him, otherwise, if an outsider came, he would definitely not bother to take care of it.

Li Tao saw that no one came up to save him, so he had to hold back his tears, and Nuo Nuo said: "Uncle, I know that I am wrong." ”

Li Changyuan said "um", "What's wrong?" ”

Li Tao said very aggrievedly: "I shouldn't have asked for horses." ”

"Huh?" Li Changyuan's voice was mentioned, and his eyes looked at him with a deep gaze.

Li Tao thought about it again and said, "I haven't gotten to ride a horse yet, so I shouldn't be disobediently pestering my family to ask for a horse." ”

This time, Li Changyuan nodded, "This time it's pretty much the same." ”

Afraid that the severity he had just expressed would hurt the child's young heart, he touched Li Tao's head again and said, "Knowing mistakes can improve a lot." Go and pick up gifts in my yard with your uncles. Uncle promises you that when you celebrate your fifth birthday, I'll pick you a foal myself, okay? ”

"Oh, that's great!" Li Tao was so happy that he was about to jump up, and kissed Li Changyuan on the face, and after a while, he was still a little uneasy and asked him, "Is what Uncle said true?" Didn't lie to me? ”

"When did I lie to you? Even Uncle doesn't believe it anymore? Li Changyuan pinched his nose and said.

Li Tao laughed and ran out, followed by his little uncles.

At this time, Li Changyuan turned around and saluted the elders in the hall, and finally when it was the turn of the old lady at the top, he directly lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down, kowtowed and saluted, and kowtowed three real heads before getting up.

"The grandson is not filial, which makes the grandmother worried."

The old lady hurriedly woke him up, touched his forehead and said angrily: "You kid, come back when you come back, what are you kowtowing towards?" It's not too late for you to kowtow when I really go......"

These words caused everyone in the hall to be shocked, and they persuaded one after another: "What did the old lady say, you want to live a long life, don't you want to say this is unlucky!" ”

"That is, mother, you are the backbone of all of us, and my daughter-in-law can't leave you for a day. Didn't you say this with the intention of making us all sad? ”

"Mother, Yuan'er is not filial, he has been away from home for so long, and when he comes back, don't you want to kowtow to you and do your filial piety?"

In the end, Li Changyuan said with a smile: "Grandmother, this time I brought back a piece of good news, I will like it for you, I wish you could live a long time, and never say such depressing words again." ”

When everyone heard this, they were curious, and they all wondered what good news he had brought back.

Zheng joked: "Big nephew, you shouldn't have a girl you like, right?" Tell me, whose girl is it? How's it going? Is your temperament pleasing? How did you meet? ……”

The others were intrigued when they heard this, and they all stared at him with bright eyes. The old lady's eyes were also full of anticipation, and the joy on her face was revealed, and she couldn't hide it.

Li Changyuan's eyelids jumped, and he replied lightly to Zheng's words, "Second aunt, you think too much." ”

"Ah, no." Zheng was disappointed and stepped aside.

In fact, she was not the only one who was disappointed, the old lady and the eldest lady had been looking forward to Li Changyuan's marriage for I don't know how many years, and now when they heard him say that he brought back good news, they were very happy, and they really thought it was like what Zheng said.

As a result, Bai was happy.

Looking at his grandmother's obvious disappointed face, Li Changyuan also felt helpless. In fact, he also wants to marry, okay? It's just that he hasn't been able to meet the girl he likes, what can he do.

Do you want to marry a casual one and go home to live your life? He doesn't want to be grinning!

Li Changyuan didn't say much, he directly took out a long wooden box from his arms, opened it and handed it to the old lady, and said, "Grandmother, what do you think this is?" ”

At first, the old lady thought that it was a gift brought back to her by her grandson from outside, no matter what it was, it was good for him to have this intention.

Next to Xiao Shi obviously thought the same way, although his son gave filial piety to his grandmother as soon as he had good things, she looked quite unpleasant as a mother, and she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart. But the son knows that it is always good to be filial to the elderly.

She didn't have to fall out with her son for this. So she looked into the box with interest.

I want to see what kind of treasure this kid presents so solemnly.

The old lady looked over with a smile on her face, but when her eyes touched it, her eyes widened several times, and she exclaimed, "Thisβ€”"

She still didn't believe it, thinking that she was hallucinating when she thought about it day and night, and she saw it for a while.

She hurriedly stretched out her hand to Cuiping, who was waiting next to her, and said with some urgency: "Cuiping, quick, help me bring me the glasses in the eight-treasure box on the dressing table, I want to see it clearly." ”

The glasses that the old lady mentioned are rare objects that have been brought from overseas, which can help the elderly with reduced vision to see things clearly.

Cui Ping immediately responded, and hurriedly went into the inner room to bring the glasses that the old lady said, and the old lady took it and put it on the bridge of her nose, carefully took out the Buddhist beads in the box, and raised them to look at the light carefully.

When she saw a small "Xin" character engraved on one of the Buddhist beads, her eyes filled with tears.

"Xin'er, mother's Xin'er......" The old lady hugged the Buddha beads and cried bitterly.

The old lady's body is already weak, how can she withstand such great joy and sorrow? And crying hurt a lot, everyone was afraid that the old lady would cry a lot, so they hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the old man.

Xiao Shi glared at his son fiercely, and the meaning was clearly - look at the good things you did, why did you make the old lady cry? It's good now, if the old lady can't bear it, see if your father doesn't break your legs!

Li Changyuan blinked, indicating that he was really innocent, okay? I thought that the old lady would be very happy, but I didn't expect him to cry before he could say anything.

"Old lady, don't cry badly, what's not to say? Is it that the gift brought back by this bastard thing is not to your liking? If you look at it, I'll beat him up for you, and see if he still has a long memory! ”

Xiao Shi beckoned to his son as he spoke, and slapped him a few times, the sound was a "pop", which showed that he was really heavy-handed.

Xiao Shi is the daughter of Prince Rui, the younger brother of the Holy Lord, and the lord of Huaning, who is the lord of Huaning, can be described as a real nobleman and a noble daughter of the family.

Originally, when I was in the boudoir, my words and deeds were raised in accordance with the real aristocratic etiquette, and I was a model of a real noblewoman, who never danced and played with a gun, and the most outrageous thing I did since I was a child was to secretly read a few little yellow books of talented and beautiful people.

But since she married into the Li family, she has been taken crooked by her husband. Because she was injured when she gave birth to her first child, that is, Li Changyuan, as her husband, was naturally worried, thinking that practicing martial arts could strengthen her body, so she forcibly pulled her to get up early every day to practice martial arts and fitness regardless of her wife's wishes.

Not to mention, in this way, Xiao's body is really better every day. After that, there was no need for Li Dingyuan to force her, she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't practice for a while every day.

Now, the Xiao family is also very skilled, which is naturally unambiguous.

Li Changyuan didn't dare to hide when he was beaten, so he could only endure it alive.

When the old lady was finally persuaded by everyone to stop her tears, she saw that her eldest grandson was squeezed outside, and she was standing aggrievedly aggrieved, so pitiful.

She hurriedly called someone over to her side, took his hand and asked, "Yuan'er, tell your grandmother quickly, this Buddha bead ......" (to be continued.) )
