Situ Yan cried loudly, so much so that Li Dalang was scared, and the little sister had cried before, but even if she was almost strangled to death by the second donkey, she had never cried so sadly, and it could be seen that the little sister was really sad. Looking at such a weak little sister, he was a little scared, afraid of losing her like this, so he immediately sat on his lap with his little sister, patted her trembling body, and listened to the little sister's whimpering cry, he hated himself for being stupid, hated himself for being powerless, and wanted to slap himself a few times. Holding his little sister, he couldn't say a word except for crying with him.

Before Erlang and the others could understand, the eldest brother and the younger sister were already crying, so frightened that the three of them were at a loss, and they didn't know which one to persuade first.

Shiro cried anxiously too. Still San Lang was in a hurry, and said a long series of words, which stopped the crying of several people, "Big brother and little sister, don't be sad, our family will always be together." ”

Situ Yan didn't expect San Lang to be anxious and worried, so she spoke sharply, so shocked that she forgot to continue crying.

Li Dalang felt the same as Situ Yan, looking at such a third brother, he couldn't tell whether to be happy or continue to be sad.

Situ Yan recovered faster, and her head was empty in the end of crying, whether she was unwilling or wronged, she cried and calmed down, "Third brother, it's so good, your stuttering problem has been cured." ”

San Lang was just in a hurry, and he didn't notice that his stuttering was better, and when he was reminded by his little sister, he remembered that he really didn't stumble just now, "Okay, I'm okay, big brother, I'm okay." ”

"Yes, the junior is good." Li Dalang's tears this time were not sad tears, but happy tears.

"Big brother don't cry, little three are fine, big brother should be happy." San Lang was next to Li Dalang, pulling his arm and persuading.

"Yes, big brother is happy. We're not crying. Little Five, Big Brother is not angry with you. The eldest brother just hates himself for being incompetent, and he can't do anything except have brute strength. Seeing that it was going to snow in winter, my family didn't even have food for the winter, so I was anxious. ”

"Who said it, the eldest brother may be doing it, it was because there were many things at home, I didn't open the space and said to the eldest brother, I had already thought about it, from tomorrow, the brothers will do it according to the arrangement of the little five, and when the next big set, we can go into the county to set up a stall to make money, big brother, are you willing to believe the little sister."

"I believe it, little sister, don't be so sad in the future, big brother will listen to you and don't carry the work." A few more words of comfort to each other before their mood calmed down. The straw mat was no longer braided, and they sat on the kang together around the kang table.

"Big brother, I picked a lot of mountain red (hawthorn) before, I can use that to make Xiwang cake, when the time comes, I will teach my eldest brother to make it, and then take it to the dim sum market of Daji to sell, I will definitely be able to exchange it for money."

"That little five, what am I doing, I also have the strength to make money." Erlang saw that Da Lang had something to do, but he was still idle, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"The second brother is not in a hurry, you and the third brother and the fourth brother will pick up all the stones in the yard and spread them in the yard, so that the yard will not be muddy when it snows and rains, and after picking up the stones, you can turn the ground and apply winter fertilizer, so that the spring land will not be thin and it is easy to grow grain."

Listening to Situ Yan's arrangement, Erlang was a little unhappy, not because he felt that he had done too much, but because he couldn't see the silver money right away if he did this. Situ Yan also saw it, but she didn't want to explain, some things are better to understand by herself than to be taught by others, which can make people grow more.

"Brothers, now that we have a new home, we will be a family in the future, I want to set up a family rule, as the so-called no rules are not a circle"

"Okay, I think it's done." Li Dalang felt that a family should have its own rules, and his mother told him when he was alive that the rich and noble family, every family has strict family rules, and with family rules, people have the direction of dealing with people, and he thinks that the little sister's thoughts are the same as her mother's.

"Little sister, how do you want to establish the family rules?" Shiro had never heard of the house rules, and no one had ever mentioned them at his grandparents' house before. It's all what Cao said and what he did.

"The rules of this house are the rules, rules, and practices that a family should rely on to do things. With family rules, people are not easy to make mistakes, and they also have a code of conduct, and it is easier to succeed if they do things according to family rules. Situ Yan tried to explain, and when he saw Da Lang nodding, he knew that he understood, but Erlang, San Lang and Shiro obviously didn't understand.

"Brothers, don't worry, we set the rules first, and then slowly get used to it, it won't be long before my brothers get used to it."

Li Dalang frowned, a little worried, "Xiao Wu, do you want to write down the rules of this house, we have the paper, but do you want to borrow it from the village?" ”

"No, big brother wait." Situ Yan put on her shoes and went back to Dongnuan Pavilion, seeing that no one followed up, so she took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the ring. This is the Li family's first house rule, and she doesn't want to use waste paper to fill the number.

took these things and entered the hall, "Little Wu, where did these things come from?" "Erlang doesn't know the value of this thing, but Dalang knows, in order to buy these things for Li Zhaocai, he has been working day and night for ten years.

"This is to ask Uncle Mura Zheng to help me buy, they are all old things that have been used by people, not worth a few dollars, before I went into the mountains to pick a three-year-old ginseng, I used that to exchange these things, big brother, don't be angry, it's a pity to exchange this thing, I want to teach my brothers to read and write, these are all necessary." Situ Yan thought clearly, these things are going to be used sooner or later, so it's better to take them out now, and let Da Lang get familiar with them as soon as possible, so as not to have a ring of his own things, and his life will be stretched.

"Big brother is not angry, these are good things, although they are old, they are not cheap." Li Dalang looked through it carefully and saw that these things were all used, although they were not as old as Xiaomei said, but they were not newly bought.

Situ Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she had used these things before, otherwise she would not have had a good time.

"The brothers also follow together to see how the rules of this house are to be established?"

"This listens to Xiao Wu, you have stayed in that big family's house, and you know more than us." Li Dalang is not very clear about these, so he prefers to listen to Xiaomei's opinion.

"Okay, I'll write down the house rules, and let's see what needs to be added." Li Dalang nodded in agreement, and Erlang didn't know what to do, and when they saw the eldest brother nodding, they also nodded.

Situ Yan thought about it for a while, selected the parts suitable for this era and this family from "Zhu Zi's Family Motto", plus some of her own ideas, and set up 25 family rules.

1. From dawn, faint and rest; Inspect the portal and watch out for the candles.

2. A porridge and a meal, it is not easy to think; Half a thread and half a thread, the mind is difficult.

3. Take precautions and dig wells without thirst.

4. Be frugal, and don't linger at the banquet.

5. Don't camp a Chinese house, don't seek good land.

6, three aunts and six mothers-in-law, the medium of real adultery and thieves; The beautiful concubine is not the blessing of the boudoir, so the man does not accept concubines; Women are not concubines.

7. Although the children and grandchildren are foolish, they must not read the scriptures.

12. Inside and outside, the law should be strict.

13. Heavy wealth, thin parents, not adult children.

14. Marry a daughter and choose a son-in-law, without asking for re-employment; Marry a wife and ask for a lady, don't count the generous (lian).

15. Seeing wealth and giving birth to flames (leaving fire and leaving fire) guests is the most shameful; Those who are arrogant in the face of poverty are very cheap.

16. If you talk too much in life, you will lose if you say too much.

17. Don't bully the widows and orphans because of their power, and don't kill the birds wantonly because they are greedy.

18. Be perverse, and there will be many repentances; Despair is self-willing, and it is difficult to achieve family morality.

19, 狎 (xia) nickname (ni) is less evil, and it will be affected for a long time; Qu Zhi is old, and he can rely on each other in a hurry.

20. Listen to the speech, and know that the non-human is suing? Be patient and think twice; Because of the contention, how do you know that it is not me? Think calmly.

21. There is no thought of giving, and don't forget to receive kindness.

22. Everything should be left behind, and it is not appropriate to go back to it.

23. People are festive, but don't be jealous; When a man is in trouble, he should not rejoice in it.

24. Goodness wants to be seen, not true goodness; Evil is a great evil.

25. When you see lust, you will have a lustful heart, and you will repay your wife and daughter; Hide grievances and use dark arrows to prolong future generations.

The family is harmonious, although the food is not continued, there is also a surplus; Reading is aimed at sages, not disciples; If you are like this, you are close to it; If there is a violation, the light one will be whipped, and the heavy one will leave the house. If the wife violates it, she shall be forsaken.

Situ Yan explained to the four of them one by one while writing, if there is something she doesn't understand, she will stop her pen and give one or two examples to say to them, these truths, no one has ever taught them, it is fresh to hear, and shocking, it turns out that Xiaomei used to live in such a big family, and she has to abide by so many rules, no wonder Xiaomei looks different from them everywhere. Without Situ Yan's request, several people made up their minds to ensure that they would abide by the family rules.

"Little sister, I don't think there's a problem with these, but I still want to add one?" Li Dalang has always felt that Xiaomei knows more, and now he admires it even more, but he is still worried that there is less protection for Xiaomei in these family rules, which is unacceptable to him.

Situ Yan didn't think about it so much, since the eldest brother said that she wanted to add it, then she listened, "Big brother, you say it, I'll write it down." ”

"Article 26, the members of the Li family and their descendants shall never be disrespectful to the five girls Situ Yan."

"Ah," as soon as she heard this rule, Situ Yan was stunned, and then her heart warmed, but she felt funny when she thought about it, "Big brother, how can this be used as a family rule?" ”

"Why not, I think the eldest brother is good." Erlang doesn't understand much about the first 25 articles, but he clearly understands this one, that is, everyone in the family should be good to the little sister, which is supposed to be.

"I agree." San Lang and Shiro spoke in unison, and this time the tacit understanding of the twins was revealed.

"Big brother, this is too much, just keep this in your heart, you don't need to write it on paper, right?" Situ Yan is embarrassed to write this on the family rules, if this is seen by people, it will not be laughed to death.

"No, you have to write it. If one day we leave first, then our descendants must also be good to Xiao Wu, otherwise I will not be at ease. Li Dalang has his persistence, in fact, Li Dalang's stubborn personality is very similar to Situ Yan, but he always tolerates Situ Yan, but he makes himself a little less individual.

"Yes, Xiao Wu listens to the eldest brother, quickly add this one." Erlang stroked Situ Yan's hand holding the pen, and was about to press it on the paper, looking at the frame, it would not work if he didn't write.

"Okay, second brother, you let go first, can't I write? Hi! Situ Yan sighed, but this is beautiful in her heart. The four brothers loved her in their hearts, how could she not be happy.

Even if the rules of this family were established, in order to make Erlang listen more clearly, Situ Yan deliberately explained several times, especially emphasizing that she should be a low-key person, she didn't want to be sold by a few sons of the Li family in a daze, and she had to accompany her with a smile to cater to her. Erlang now understands why Xiao Wu sometimes glares at him with his eyes, it turns out that Xiao Wu wants to be low-key, and he doesn't know that he sold his little sister. I scratched my head in embarrassment.

The few people talked for a while, and then they washed up and went back to the house to rest.
