Chapter 50 Going Home, the Chick Becomes a Mouse
Li Xu's temperament is soft, and in the first few years of marrying into the old Li family, it can be said that he was completely pinched by Li Xiaofeng's palm. On weekdays, he is often oppressed by the two sisters-in-law. Since Li Zhengmin left the old Li family with the whole family, Li Xu's temperament has become stronger. But at this moment, when I saw the trio of Li Xiaofeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I instinctively felt a little worried. So much so that when Li Junran was "beaten" by Li Xiaofeng, he failed to come back to his senses as soon as possible to protect his daughter from being beaten.
When Li Xiaofeng rushed into the small kitchen with his two daughters-in-law, Li Xu also came back to his senses and followed closely behind Li Xiaofeng: "That, that...... Mother-in-law, Liu Er didn't take anything......"
But Li Xu's words, not to mention that Li Xiaofeng won't believe it, not even Li Zhao, the most generous of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law trio, let alone Li Qian, who has seen pastries.
So before Li Xu's words were finished, Li Xiaofeng, who had always been sharp with his hands and feet, had already lifted the small floral cloth head covered by the small bamboo basket on the earthen stove. In the small bamboo basket lies a small piece of shortbread half the size of an adult woman's hand.
There was really a snack in the small bamboo basket, which made Li Xiaofeng's family very happy, but such a small piece of shortbread, not to mention that the old Li family was not enough to divide up and down, and even stuffed Li Xiaofeng's teeth alone, I was afraid that he would not be satisfied.
"Why is it only such a small piece?" Li Xiaofeng clearly remembered that her eldest daughter-in-law told her clearly when she came, and the seven girls brought a bamboo basket full of exquisite snacks from Cheng's house back to Li's house, and now the small bamboo basket is there, and the sky blue floral small cloth head is not wrong, but the basket is ...... It's just a small piece of shortbread.
Li Junran covered the cheek raiser on the left, stood at the door of the small kitchen very aggrieved, and said with an aggrieved face: "Little grandma, I'm just a third-class little girl in the house, and this shortbread was rewarded by the eldest lady because of the Mid-Autumn Festival half a month ago." ”
"Who are you fooling?" Although Li Qianshi said that when he met Li Junran at the south gate of Yuezhen before, Li Junran also told her the same, but Li Qianshi didn't believe it. Just for a shortbread that is not as big as the palm of his hand, he carried a bamboo basket. Even if this bamboo basket is not big, it is very strange whether it is good or not.
Li Junyang didn't expect that in the small bamboo basket brought by Li Junran, there were other things besides the two so-called chicks of Black Bu Midwinter. The most strange thing is that Li Junran didn't hide it. However, when he knew that Li Junran had met Li Qian at the South City Gate before, why did his little sister do this, as smart as Li Junyang, he could roughly guess five or six points. Coupled with the inexplicable tacit understanding between the dragon and phoenix fetuses, Li Junyang, who had been silent on the sidelines, followed Li Junran's train of thought and said:
"Little sister, it's just such a small piece of shortbread, you can keep it for yourself."
"My mother would come to see me every two months, and I thought that my father and brother had never eaten delicious shortbread, so I saved some. But this year, I don't know what's going on, and before the festival is over, Mrs. asked Mama to confiscate all the shortbreads in the owner's yard and the eldest lady's yard...... I secretly left this piece behind. ”
Li Junran noticed that whether it was Li Xiaofeng or Li Qian, although they didn't show it on their faces at this time, they all pricked up their ears and eavesdropped on her gossip about Cheng Fu. Before, because some extra things were added to the shortbread, Cheng Zhang's asked Mama Zhang to secretly not only check Jing Yaxuan, who was in the main courtyard and the eldest lady, but also focused on the kitchen and the yards of several aunts. As for the study in the outer courtyard, Cheng Zhang's directly kicked the ball to Cheng's family. As for whether the mastermind behind the scenes was found in the end, Li Junran is not clear. can see that Cheng Zhang's and Cheng Yuyan look very relaxed, even if they are not caught, they are afraid that they know who is behind the scenes.
"Are all those shortbreads really confiscated?" Li Qian's heart ached when he thought that a lot of delicious shortbread had been confiscated like this, "Then what to do with those confiscated shortbread?" ”
"What else can I do, of course it's all discarded." Li Zhao interjected with a smile. When Li Zhao was in Lao Li's house, he heard Li Qian's say to Li Xiaofeng's that the seven-willow girl in the third room had returned to Li's house, and she also brought a big bamboo basket of snacks from Cheng's house. After all, it is rare for ordinary people and large families to taste the food once, and they have to catch up with good luck. But now when she knew that Li Junran actually only brought back such a small piece, she immediately realized that it was ironclad that she wanted to eat it. But even if there is no drama, according to her understanding of her mother-in-law and her two concubines, she will definitely not go back if she doesn't peel off the skin from the third room today.
"Mother, little sister!" Li Junyang saw that Li Zhao's eyes, who were the quietest in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law trio, began to roll slightly, especially the eyes that were always inadvertently wandering around several places where rice and grain were stored in the small kitchen, and he knew that if he didn't invite out the old Li family's ancestral house, which eats people and didn't spit out bones, he was afraid that something would happen (blood).
You must know that Li Xiaofeng and Li Qian are both powerful in their mouths, while Li Zhao Xu has read books for a few days, which is full of bad water, and he always hides in the shadows to either secretly come up with ideas, or encourage the anxious Li Qian to charge into battle. Therefore, the reputation of the Li Zhao family in Lao Li's family is the best among several people. Li Junyang also had inadvertently seen the true face of Li Zhao's family before, so he was more protective of the second aunt of the old Li family.
"Since the little sister only brought back a piece of dim sum this time, although my father has already separated from Lao Li's family. But it should be given to grandpa during the New Year's holidays, and the filial piety of the little grandmother is still indispensable. This piece of dim sum, let the little grandmother take it back to the ancestral house, and let the grandfather try it. Mother, little sister, do you think it's okay? ”
Li Junyang's words are quite high-sounding, not only clearly mentioning the established fact that our third room has been separated from the old Li family, but also pointing out that the filial piety that should be given to the father and the little mother during the New Year's holidays for children should not be less, because this is related to "filial piety".
Li Junran naturally couldn't mention the breakup more than a year ago for no reason. You must know that Xiao Qiliu's father, Li Zhengmin, can't read a single big character, and he is the only child among the four sons and three daughters of the old Li family who can't read and write. In the future, after a hundred years of Li Pinghai, Li Zhengmin, a member of the old Li family, can inherit most of them. But when the family was separated, let alone half of the property of Lao Li's family, he didn't even have a dime. Li Pinghai finally found out his conscience, and in the separation agreement, it was clearly stated that the Li family would not be responsible for supporting Li Pinghai every year after the separation of the three rooms and one line......
Li Zhengmin naturally agreed, and he had to agree. Now, Li Junyang mentioned this matter very unintentionally, not to mention that Li Xiaofeng's face changed on the spot, and even Li Qian and Li Zhao realized that they had indeed underestimated some people. I thought that Li Zhengmin, the head of the family in the third room, had not come back from hunting in the mountains, and the Li family had two people, Li Xu and Li Junyang, even if they added a little yellow-haired girl, they were just a weak and bullying woman with two little ghosts, nothing more.
"Brother, when I met my aunt at the South City Gate, I mentioned to her that I want to honor my grandfather for this shortbread." Li Junran looked reluctant and painful, "Mother~ I'm sorry, is Liu Er useless......"
"Silly child, my mother knows that my mother's Liu'er is the most filial." Li Xu's heart was broken when he thought that his daughter was so young and had to live alone in a high-gate compound like Chengfu.
Obviously, Li Xiaofeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't want to go back to the ancestral house of the old Li family like this, but they have a bit of a taste of avoiding medical treatment. If something gets big and alarms the clan elders and Lizheng, it won't be easy to do at that time. Just when Li Xiaofeng was unwilling to leave the small kitchen, the half of the gourd spoon that was originally buckled on the lid of the water tank suddenly moved, and a faint sound could be heard.
"What sound?" There are living creatures in the kitchen, which is definitely super good news for Li Xiaofeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Before Li Xiaofeng could speak, Li Zhao, who was closest to the water tank, came to the front of the water tank a few steps. Li Xu's heart was lifted up all of a sudden.
"Ah~~" A piercing scream suddenly pierced the sky above the small kitchen, "Mouse, there are rats!" ”
Li Zhao's cold hair stood up and down all of a sudden, but it wasn't a stupid and fat rat lying on the lid of the water tank. Li Junyang, who was still very nervous, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Junran, the two black Bulongdong chicks were stuffed under the gourd spoon by himself, why did the chicks become big rats in the blink of an eye? Having said that, this rat is not ordinary fat, is it possible that even the rat is better than his family this year? Thinking of this, Li Junyang was a little hurt, but more determined to work hard and save money, save a lot of money, and then redeem his cute sister who always liked to follow him and would sweetly call his brother's sister to redeem from Cheng Mansion.
Just as Li Junyang was distracted, the fierce Li Qian snatched the gourd spoon that Li Zhao was still holding in his hand, and without saying a word, he slammed it towards the lid of the water tank. The fat big mouse didn't know if it was because he was too fat, but he was hit by Li Qian's and fell directly into the water tank.
"I said third brother and sister, your house is too dirty." For the rat falling into the water tank, Li Qian was very satisfied.
"Big, sister-in-law, how can you ......" Why did the little chick under the gourd spoon suddenly turn into a fat big mouse, Li Xu couldn't figure it out, but what she was even more angry at this time was that Li Qian deliberately put the mouse into the water tank and polluted the whole tank of water.
"That's it! The old guys are not wrong! Although the people's daughter-in-law has now been separated from Lao Li's family and lives in this thatched adobe house, you still have to clean up here and outside, and you don't have to let these dirty things steal food, and the family finally got food! Li Xiaofeng directly interrupted Li Xu's dissatisfaction.
For Li Qian's small actions, Li Xiaofeng's could not see it. It's a pity that the third room is too poor, and the third child has not come back from hunting in the mountains, and it is really not easy to squeeze out some oil and water. Just now, she deliberately secretly looked at the rice jar placed in the corner, and there was only a layer of broken rice at the bottom of the shallow jar, and most of it was still rough chaff. Knowing that Sanfang is living a miserable life now, Li Xiaofeng is still very happy in his heart. As soon as he was in a good mood, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Li Xu's anymore, so he took the small shortbread that Li Junran brought back from Chengfu and walked out of the small kitchen.
As a daughter-in-law, it is naturally impossible to walk in front of Li Xiaofeng's family. Li Qian's saw that he hadn't gotten any benefits for a long time, although he deliberately put the fat rat into the water tank and polluted most of the water, but he still felt that if he let Li Xu go like this, it would be too cheap for her. So when Li Qian passed by the main house, he looked more and more carefully.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, it really made Li Qian discover something good.
