On the first day of the 308th Lunar New Year, I greeted the New Year and asked for blessings
After confirming from Li Junran that the fourth child, that is, the current Chen Shi, no longer remembered the past, Li Junyang and Yin Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief. As Li Junran said before, no matter whether there will be a drought after the beginning of spring, whether it will be moved to the house in the town, whether it is the seventh uncle or the second room of the Li family, there are too few strong men who can be used in the family. And this situation will have to wait for at least a few years, and it may be alleviated after Li Zhengyuan and Li Junyang grow up and become parents to develop the second generation.
It's not that I haven't thought about whether to buy a few strong laborers to come back, preferably a family. The problem has to be considered in the long run, and it is not so easy to encounter a family with an innocent and loyal family. If you meet someone like the Pan family in front of you again, you don't eat meat, but you get into a commotion, and you are in constant trouble, it's not impossible.
It is not unreasonable for ordinary people to live at home, why they always hope that their children and grandchildren will be full. Not to mention, when something happened and needed to fight, six or seven or eight strong men (sons) were pulled out in a row, and the people on the opposite side had to weigh and weigh. There are many strong people in the family, and others dare not offend easily. Even if the children and grandchildren are prosperous, there will be more contradictions, but in the end, the power is also greater, as long as the family works together, there is nothing that cannot be settled.
The reason why Li Junyang opposed it before was just because he was worried that the fourth child would cause trouble. As for now, everyone has let their little sister give a makeover, what else is there to worry about?
Li Junyang, who was relieved, did not stay in the peach blossom forest for long, but went straight back to the cabin. Time passes quickly in the manor, which undoubtedly makes it convenient for Li Junyang to do more in the limited time. Read more books. Strengthening the body, practicing riding and archery, and familiarizing himself with the Four Books and Five Classics, Li Junyang is very busy.
In the manor, several days passed in the blink of an eye. In the past few days, Chen Shi has been immersed in a big wooden barrel for almost ten hours of twelve hours a day, of course, after waking up, the sour feeling of ecstasy is no longer there, at most it is just a little itchy. This itching state is normal because the flesh wounds on the body begin to scab over and slowly heal.
The only thing that made Chen Shi more difficult to accept was the food. Isn't the old saying often saying that "people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry". Chen Shi was originally from a bitter background, and it was not that he had never been hungry. When I was a child, I was always hungry and full. It's rare to be able to eat enough a few times a year. But that was more than 20 years ago. Since he learned martial arts, especially with Zhang Datou, Chen Shi has never been hungry again.
As a result, in the past few days after waking up, Chen Shi experienced He Wei's "hunger" again. Of course. It's not that there is nothing to eat. Question: Three meals a day are peaches. It's a peach every day. I ate it for seven or eight days. Although the head of those peaches is bigger than the other, I feel full when I eat one. And the taste is delicious. One bite is going down, and the juice overflows. Sweet as honey. The problem is eaten all at once, gnawed every day, even if the stomach can stand it, the teeth can't stand it.
However, Chen Shi, who had almost recovered, wanted to leave the Peach Blossom Forest, so he thought of relying on himself to catch a few pheasants and hares or something to fight and sacrifice his teeth, and change his taste, but he couldn't find a way out of the Peach Blossom Forest.
Master, help...... / (ㄒ o ㄒ)/~~.
Chen Shi, who continued to soak in the hot spring soup, looked up at the sky with tears streaming down his face.
Blue sky, white clouds...... What a fat wild pigeon......
Chen Shi, who was trapped in the peach blossom forest, failed to attract Li Junran's attention, because this little girl was busy following her little brother Li Junyang at this time, and together with several Li cousins and sisters who were about the same age, they were kowtowing to the elders of the Li family in Tunzi from house to house, and taking red envelopes to share blessings.
The first person to kowtow to ask for peace was naturally the seventh uncle's ancestral family. When Li Junran's brother and sister arrived, because it was still early, there were not many people in the house. When Li Junran entered the house, he happened to see the seventh uncle wearing a brown tubule pattern brocade short coat with a big fur collar, which was the one he wore in the Chinese New Year's Eve yesterday, sitting upright on the circle chair, pulling Xiao Junjun, who had just finished kowtowing, to his side.
The two sisters-in-law in front of Xiao Junjin, the rice flower and Cuihua sisters of Uncle Zhengji's family, the eldest of Grandpa Li's family, stood aside, talking in a whisper, looking at it, they should be very satisfied with the red envelope given by the seventh uncle.
When he came, Li Junran listened to his little brother Li Junyang say that in previous years, the red envelopes given by the seventh uncle ancestor were the most generous. In recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, so the seven uncles and ancestors on the male doll side will generally wrap a big character (ten copper plates), and the female doll will also wrap five copper plates. Now it seems that I am afraid that there will be more than this number of red envelopes this year.
"Okay, little Doudou, hurry up. Come, this is the red envelope given to you by your seventh grandfather. The Seventh Uncle Ancestor grinned, revealing the few remaining big teeth, and smiled and took the red envelope handed over by his youngest grandson Li Zhengyuan, and put it in Li Junjian's hand.
"Brother, the young boy who broke our father's head is here."
"I see, I'm not blind."
"Brother, ...... for a while"
The two brothers who spoke, although Li Junran hadn't dealt with each other much before, knew whose babies they were. Isn't it Li Junshan, the second grandfather of Li Zhengxiang, and Li Junjie's brothers. As the old saying goes, I don't always say "dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, what kind of father and mother raise what kind of baby".
Li Junshan's brother's father, Li Zhengxiang, is more slippery than Uncle Zhengji in front, and he married his grandfather's cousin Xiao Li Wu. Although Xiao Li Wu is also a good hand at housework, he has a problem that is easy to compare, especially like to talk to the aunt Ka Mi in front of him. Even with it, the two sons born and raised also love to compare with others, and they love vanity a little.
It stands to reason that Li Junshan's brothers and sons are several years older than Li Junyang, and Li Junyang was still living a miserable life in the fourth room of the Li family before, so it is said that they can't play together. However, Li Junshan's brothers and sons like to appear in front of Li Junyang very much, brushing up on their sense of existence, because they have a sense of accomplishment.
It's a pity that this sense of accomplishment that can make the brothers feel superior to others gradually disappeared as Bao Zi's father as the seventh uncle's grandchild and grandson, and after he succeeded to the second room of the Li family as an heir.
Originally, it was not so early to kowtow to the elders in the tunzi on the first day of the new year every year, but this time, the brothers and sons, who have always liked to sleep lazy, didn't know if they wanted to brush their sense of existence in front of Li Junyang earlier. Unprecedentedly, he woke up before dawn, wearing a newly made jacket, and came to the Seventh Uncle Ancestor's side without even eating breakfast. Just to grab in front of Li Junyang, the nominal great-grandson, and kowtow to the seventh uncle and ancestor for the New Year.
It's a pity that Li Junyang didn't see the two brothers' thoughts, but it was Li Junran, who stood behind his little brother with some interest, and it was better to talk than to watch the show.
"Great-grandson Jun Yang kowtowed to the old ancestor, wishing the old ancestor 'blessing like the long flowing water of the East China Sea. Shoubi Nanshan Immortal Pine'. "After entering the house. Li Junyang respectfully kowtowed to the Seventh Uncle Ancestor three times in a row. Today's Li Junyang is at Li Junran's insistence, Yin Xiaolian is making suggestions on the side, and Li Cuishi and others are joining in the fun, just like the beautiful young man who came out of the painting.
Pity. Li Junyang is not yet an adult, and he is a weak crown. Otherwise, the hosta is tied up. The big fur collar cloak is approved, and he has to make a cameo appearance as the Mei family Su Su (handsome) brother.
Li Junyang's current condensed and simplified version barely managed to get into Li Junran's eyes. can be seen in the eyes of Li Junshan's brothers. That is the display of red fruit to show off wealth. The guy who has been trampled under his feet and is no different from a poor little beggar actually has an equal relationship with their brothers, and the limelight even overshadows their day, how can Li Junshan's brothers and sons look pleasing to the eye?
This negative feeling of envy, jealousy, and hatred was intensified when he saw the obviously thicker red envelope that the Seventh Uncle Ancestor gave to Li Junyang. Li Junshan's brothers and sons simply ignored that when the elders gave their own family and the younger generations of the clan New Year's red envelopes, they always gave more to their own children, so naturally they would not remember that Li Junyang No matter what he said, he was nominally the eldest great-grandson of the seventh uncle, and they only saw the partiality of the old and confused seventh uncle to Li Junyang.
Li Junran followed behind Li Junyang, and said word by word clearly: "Jiu'er wishes Old Zu'er a good body, and it is fragrant to eat." ”
If you want to successfully disguise yourself as another person, in addition to making a fuss about your appearance, you also have to make some appropriate changes in your speech and demeanor. No, Li Junran spoke with a fairly fluent Kyoto accent, and directly calmed everyone present.
The Seventh Uncle Ancestor smiled and hugged Li Junran into his arms, gently pinched Li Junran's white and red cheeks, and said funny: "Oh, Old Ancestor's little Jiu'er, do you still know 'how to eat'?" Here, take it. This is the red envelope that Lao Zuer gave you, go back and buy candy to eat. ”
The Seventh Uncle Ancestor took out a red envelope that was about as thick as Li Junyang and put it in Li Junran's hand. At this time, Li Junshan's brothers and sons became more and more unable to calm down. Even with her brother and sister Osmanthus, she began to look curiously at the little boy in front of her, who was half a head shorter than her.
With red lips and white teeth, delicate facial features, for some reason, Osmanthus has a familiar feeling, which makes her think of Qiliu's little Nizi that she hates.
"Thank you, Zuer~".
Seventh Uncle Zu was very fond of children, especially those alert, lively, healthy and healthy little dolls around him. Therefore, on the first day of the new year every year, the juniors in the clan come to the house to kowtow to him, which can be said to be the happiest time in the whole New Year festival of the seventh uncle. Not to mention, there is a group of little monkey cubs chattering in the house, and it is even more lively. As soon as I thought of it, after staying up for a few more years, waiting for the stinky boy of my little grandson Yuan'er to become a relative, and then adding three or five or seven little great-grandchildren, the seventh uncle felt that he would have more expectations for this day, but he was afraid that by that time, he would be able to laugh out loud in his dreams at night.
The so-called "gold doesn't smile, silver doesn't smile, hugging the doll and laughing", the old man's heart is most expected is not that his children and grandchildren are around his knees.
As time went by, there were more and more juniors who came to the Seventh Uncle Ancestor to kowtow to the Seventh Uncle Ancestor. After kowtowing, he got the red envelope given by Uncle Seventh and Uncle Xiaoyuan, and he didn't leave in a hurry, but gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
Although they are both descendants of the Li family, there are differences between large and small sects. In Baozi's father's generation, the main branch is the lineage of the patriarch Li Zhengshu. The bun father, who belongs to the second room of the Li family, is slowly separated from the main branch of the large sect and becomes the side branch of the small sect. As for the seventh uncle, the third grandfather of the Li family, and the fifth grandfather, they branched even earlier.
Therefore, although the juniors in the clan often play together, most of the time they still have several babies in the same room together and move together. When it comes to Li Junyang's side, it is an exception. When he was in the fourth room of the Li family, because his own bun father was not treated by his father Li Pinghai, his status was pitiful, and even among the grandchildren, except for the eldest grandson and brother Li Junsong, the rest of the cousins were not very willing to bring Li Junyang brothers and sisters.
Tunli has a good relationship with Xiao Qiliu's family. That is, Uncle Zhengji and Aunt Mihua's family. But Li Junyang is a male baby after all, and it is impossible to always play with rice flowers and cuihua. When Xiao Qiliu was still at home, the brother and sister could still be together, and when Xiao Qiliu sold herself to Cheng Fu as a maid, Li Junyang could only go alone.
And this year, I don't know if it was because of the second room of the Li family, or the vermicelli noodles tossed by Li Junran in front of me, so that most of the people in Tunli have made more or less money. So much so that almost all of them, after kowtowing to the Seventh Uncle Ancestor, spontaneously gathered around Li Junyang. This is Li Junyang since he can remember. Something that has never happened before.
"Brother Ah Nian. You're wearing beautiful clothes. Did Aunt Liu Er do it? The first to speak was the distant cousin of the third uncle ancestor Li Lailu, who was envious and wanted to reach out and caress the plush accessories that Li Junyang hung on his waist.
Li Junyang took a small step back and dodged. I couldn't help but sneer: When I kowtowed to my ancestor last year, I still looked disgusted. Nostrils facing him. This year, he immediately changed his face. Brother? If I'm not mistaken. I think I'm a year older than him. What kind of brother is he?
Li Junran, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but smile, and when he saw more and more cousins and sisters surrounding him, he hurriedly took a few steps back. Flashed to the side of the rice flower and emerald flower.
"Happy New Year, two beautiful sisters." Li Junran smiled brightly.
Mi Hua actually noticed Li Junran very early, this little boy who had never seen him before, although he didn't know him, but he looked at the seventh uncle Zu interacting with the little boy with a smile, and Mi Hua knew that the little boy and the seventh uncle Zuzu and grandson were only afraid that the relationship was very good.
"Happy New Year." Mi Hua bowed slightly towards Li Junran, and her attitude was neither flattering and close, nor too distant.
"Who's your sister?" Cuihua on the side muttered, "Why are you sure that I must be older than you?" ”
"Cui'er!"
"That's what it was." Cuihua pouted. In fact, Cuihua also knew in her heart that she must be older than the pink guy in front of her. Just now, she heard this guy named Jiu'er call Li Junyang "brother", and she was older than Li Junyang and Liu'er.
However, this time, Cuihua didn't want to continue to be this sister.
Li Junran was stunned for a moment, then blinked and said with a smile: "Sister Cui'er is good." ”
Mi Hua's figure obviously paused, and she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart. Where did the bastard boy come from, just climbed down the pole and took advantage of her sister Cui'er?
"Sister Mihua, my sister Lian still has a lot of beautiful tricks there. Even the 'fun' you've always wanted has it. ”
Knowing interest, that is, knowing the embroidery pattern with the cricket. The rice flower originally wanted to embroider one, and then make it into a purse, which could be given to the future husband and sister-in-law in the future. I had heard the little girl of Qiliu mention this fancy before, but the girl couldn't draw a reason. Only Mi Hua and Li Junran know about this, who would have thought about it......
Mi Hua looked at Li Junran with a shocked face, and saw the stinky boy in front of him wink at her mischievously. Faintly, Mihua thought of something, and she suddenly understood it in a flash of inspiration.
"You guy......" Mi Hua couldn't help but stick out her head, pinched Li Junran's white and red little cheeks, and then lowered her voice and said, "Your body is ......"
"Willow ......" Cuihua also came back to her senses.
"Shhhhh......hh I put on makeup and came back quietly. If I let those people in Cheng Mansion know that I am back, it will affect the entire Tunzi. ”
"Liu'er, you are so bold." Mi Hua glanced at Li Junran angrily, "Then the Seventh Ancestor also knows about this?" ”
"Hee-hee, I know. As long as the two sisters don't leak their mouths. ”
Cuihua immediately covered her small mouth vigilantly, and repeatedly promised not to say anything. Li Junran and Mi Hua raised their eyes and smiled at each other.
"Will you follow you to ask for blessings in a while?" Cuihua thought of the activity for a while, and asked Li Junran softly.
The so-called begging for blessing fruit is that the underage children of the entire Tunli tribe form groups to swipe the map - go door-to-door to ask for red envelopes and candy for the New Year. The more candy you get, the more blessings you have for the coming year. At this time, no one will be too stingy, because their own baby is also in it.
"Go, why don't you go?" Li Junran grinned, "After coming out of the fifth grandfather in a while, we will secretly go to my place again." There are good things ......."
"Okay." Cuihua nodded repeatedly. In the more than half a month that Li Junran has been absent from Lijiatun, Cuihua has never been bored. Now it can be regarded as looking forward to bringing people back.
That's when it happened. Li Junshan, the little bean who was playing at the door, ran over, reached out and grabbed the corner of Mihua's clothes: "Sister, sister." Brother Dalang, they are here. ”
"Well, Dou'er, don't run around. It's time to ask for the blessing fruit right away. Mi Hua took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and carefully wiped Doudou's face and hands.
"Dou'er, go and call your little brother over." Cuihua pointed to Li Junyang, who was standing not far away and was surrounded by many people, and motioned to her younger brother to hurry over. Cuihua has already thought about it, for a while. threw his little brother to Li Junyang.
Just as Xiao Doudou jumped up and down at Li Junyang. The third generation of the Li family's four rooms, led by Dalang Li Junsong, walked in from the outside. Originally, the Li family had four rooms, don't look at it and not be treated by the neighbors in Tunli, but it has to make people envy the prosperity of this family. There are not only four grown up sons of Guofu and Min'an, but also three daughters, Jin Qiaoer, Li Linger and Li Zhener. to the third generation of grandchildren. There are seven grandchildren alone. And that's not even counting grandchildren.
But now?
When the family Li Pinghai was paralyzed in bed. It's like a living dead. The second daughter-in-law and the third grandson died, and it was still in such an unbearable way. The five granddaughters disappeared, and the youngest pair of grandchildren were also separated. became someone else's baby. Not to mention the ruin, it's also bad luck.
To say, that also confirms the old saying, people do things every day. It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come!
In the new year, I don't know how to be unlucky.
Everyone looked at the eyes of the three of them, inevitably with a bit of schadenfreude sympathy and disgust, and the whispering was even more continuous.
"No, they did show up cheekily."
"When I came, my grandmother said, let me hurry away from it, so as not to get contaminated."
……
Everyone's strange gaze, how could the soon-to-be-adult Da Lang not notice it. Those vicious and disgusting words made Da Lang's hand hidden under his sleeve clenched into a fist. San Lang was younger, and after hearing the muttering sound from around him, he almost jumped up from the ground, thinking about fighting with these nonsense clansmen in front of him. But because of Da Lang's scolding, he died down, but he didn't hear anything.
However, looking at Saburo's reddish eyes, they were like bull's eyes, and they couldn't see this breath, but they were afraid that it wouldn't be so easy to dissipate.
"Da Lang led his younger brothers and sisters and kowtowed to the Seventh Ancestor. I wish the Seven Ancestors good health and a long and blessed life. Da Lang knelt on the futon and kowtowed respectfully to the Seventh Uncle Zuxing.
Since Li Junran knew that there was a big man in the fourth room of the Li family, especially after sorting out the broken and broken memories of Xiao Qiliu and the description of his little brother Li Junyang, he always felt that Li Junsong, the eldest man of the Li family, was also a character. On the surface, as the eldest grandson, he takes care of his cousins and cousins. Especially for the little Qiliu brothers and sisters, it can be said that they are the only cousins with good intentions.
Is Da Lang really good to the little Qiliu brothers and sisters?
Not necessarily. Da Lang was nothing more than saying a few words of comfort with a pleasant face afterwards, but he never stopped the bullying of the four younger brothers and sisters of Xiao Qiliu in person. It's just a good image of the brothers and sisters of Xiao Qiliu to brush up on the good image of brothers, friends and brothers.
As the eldest of the third generation, and the only eldest grandson who is about to become an adult, he really doesn't have the slightest right to speak in the face of the elders in the family?
Pull it down. In essence, Da Lang is the same as his four younger siblings. Perhaps, it should be said, even more hateful! Speaking of which, this point is really the same as Li Zhengan, a hypocrite's little uncle.
Originally, Li Junran didn't want to be so dark to suspect a person who had shown kindness to Xiao Qiliu. It's just weird, some people are in a hurry, and they don't have the calm they used to be. Since Bao Zi's father passed on to the second room of the Li family, Da Lang's son Li Zhengguo succeeded to the name of Li Feng's in front of him, and Da Lang's fox tail that had been hidden for more than ten years was finally accidentally exposed. If it weren't for the fact that his mother-in-law Li Qian's family and his own sister and younger brother wanted to have a good relationship with the second room of the Li family, Li Junran would not have noticed these details.
Now, the Li family has four rooms, and it can be said that Li Pinghai's eldest son, Li Zhengguo, is the biggest winner. Once Li Pinghai accidentally receives a boxed lunch, most of the property in the fourth room will be inherited by Li Zhengguo, who has been successfully promoted to a son-in-law. Shiro is a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs, and he is also the younger brother of Dalang.
At this moment, Li Junran regretted it a little. When Li Zhengtai returned to Lijiatun, she should pay a little attention. At the very least, Saburo couldn't get a boxed lunch so early. So much so that now the Li family has four rooms, and the family is dominant......
It's a pity. (To be continued.) )
