Li was thinking about his son's future in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to say anything more to Li Xuefeng, so he dealt with a few words and went to Fu's side.

Li Xiaoran looked at her back and asked strangely, "Why do you look at Aunt Li absent-mindedly." ”

Li Xuefeng chewed the rice in his mouth and said vaguely: "I guess I don't want Brother Jiang Qi to help me make a climbing plow." ”

Li Xuejian shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Aunt Li's family is similar to our family before, it's very difficult, it is probably for Brother Jiang Qi's business!" ”

Li Xiaoran has seen Jiang Qi a few times, that kid is quite smart, his brothers are too young, and there is no one in the family to help him except his father, so he can let Jiang Qi come over and try it.

As soon as she said this idea, Li Xuefeng and Li Xuejian's brothers both thought it was good.

"I think it's okay, so that someone can help Dad, and we will be more at ease in the school." Li Xuejian's eyes lit up, and he touched his sister's increasingly dense black hair, thinking that his sister was more careful than he thought.

Li Xuefeng was still holding chopsticks in his hand, and he put the food in his mouth and chewed it before nodding and said: "Okay, yes, but I've heard people say it before, it seems that Aunt Li is unwilling to let him work for others, as if Brother Jiang Qi is interested in following the master to do long-term work, but Aunt Li didn't agree." ”

In this way, Li Xiaoran shook his head, this mother can't see the form clearly, she can't live anymore, she still cares about this false name, how can she work for a long time, how can it be better than being so old and let her mother raise her.

"If that's the case, forget it." Li Xiaoran said with some regret: "However, it is inevitable to let my father find a helper, in fact, you don't have to be like Uncle Ye's family, what kind of long contract to sign, as long as you know the roots." People just need to be reliable and do their duty. ”

After all, she comes from modern society, and she still has a little awkward heart about turning people into slaves who have lost their free bodies at every turn. Although she understands that this is a common phenomenon in this society, she still has some rejection in her heart.

It's just that her intolerance and rejection brought her great trouble later, and it also made her gradually know the rules of this society.

This time, Li Yihe's family built a relatively large house, and these people worked for a month before it was completed, and Master Lao took people to work according to the drawings for half a month. Lay a low earthen kang on each room.

per room. The ground was noticeably a foot higher than the outside, and the floor was an inch high with a wooden floor. Lit a fire and walked on it. Warm, warm, the whole house is warm. Sleeping directly on the ground like this is a bit like a tatami mat in a certain country, Li Xiaoran plucked Li Yihe again, and simply asked a carpenter to make a few beds and put them on it.

The style of the bed they make is simple. The bed that Li Xiaoran wants is even more like the future generations, and it is enough to hang a hanging around it. It's also comfortable to look at.

After the house was built, two wells were drilled, one in the yard and one in the clearing. Around the well was a stone slab platform, and then the villagers were asked to help dig two ponds near the river and bring the river water in. One in and one out, the water in the pond is diverted into live water, and the fish are prepared to be raised in it.

Because the clearing and the forest are very large. Immediately behind the mountain, there are two rivers passing by Li's house, one is relatively wide, and the clear water is paved with all kinds of small stones, and smooth pebbles washed by the river, and the sparkling river water shines dazzlingly under the reflection of the sun.

The other is a small stream, which runs through the middle of the forest, and the Li Yi River has carved out several areas near this river, raising some chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry, while at the same time setting aside a place for planting medicinal herbs and fruit trees.

Li Yihe has never forgotten to build the wall, this time he invited the villagers to build it together, using bricks and stones, about two meters high, and put some grinding sharp stones and iron nails on it, and when these projects are completed, it is already the season of harvesting wheat.

After the house was built, the Li family moved into a new house on a day in July, but the vacant land was too big and it was very messy inside, so they could only slowly reorganize it after living in.

During the construction of the house, Li Yihu, the fourth child of the Li family, came back once, brought some food for the second brother, looked at it and went back to the town, he told Li Yihe that Li Laoshi had already told his father-in-law that he would get married in winter.

He was actually very willing in his heart, he didn't want to go home, and his father didn't pay attention to him until he was favored by the shopkeeper of the restaurant clock who worked and was engaged to his daughter, which was counted in his father's eyes.

It's just that Li Laoshi's intention is obvious, he wants his younger son to marry a wife as soon as possible, so that his eldest son will take the autumn exam in the second year and get a help.

Li Yihu was very disapproving, the eldest sister said that she would give out the money, but the father still calculated this and that, the second brother built a new house this time, and the whole village came to see it, only this father and the eldest brother never came.

Tian often went over, and she didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that the old man would have ideas, so she always went over to help cook and chop vegetables, so she quietly returned to the old house.

Li Xuefeng's brother stayed at home for a few days before Li Yihe drove to the town to continue studying, this project is quite big, and it will be delayed a lot of time when the house is built and then go back to study.

Li Xiaoran followed Li Yihe to the town and bought a lot of items needed at home, like the previous broken quilt and cotton jacket, which really can't be worn anymore, Li Xiaoran can't wait to buy out the grocery store, there are now six people in the family, and there is one born in a few months, each person has a cotton quilt and kang bedding, plus jackets, cotton jackets, etc., she bought it according to the amount of ten catties of cotton per person, and the grocery store owner was happy, and his mouth couldn't close.

In addition, there are cloth to be used as quilts, and some household utensils needed to move to a new home. The two stayed in town for one night and returned home with a full cart.

Fu's belly was big, so he invited Li and a few other people to come over and help her make the bedding and so on, as for the clothes, Fu had to make them slowly.

Li Xiaoran's chickens are already very big, she and Li Xuesi are responsible for feeding the chickens every day, she took the time to quietly go to the woods to plant some medicinal seeds, the family's silver to build a house cost more than 50 taels, and it took 16 taels to dig a well, dig a pond, build a fence, and dozens of taels of silver went in.

Fortunately, the watermelon planted before, after Li Xiaoran used it once, matured half a month earlier than others, and was sent to the county for a catty of 30 wen, sold for 2,000 catties, and got some silver back.

Li Yihe looked at his own paved stall, feeling deep pressure, he lowered his head and continued to pave the road, this yard was full of mud when it rained, Li Xiaoran and his brother picked up a lot of small stones and came back, saying that they were going to pave a few stone roads.

This is a good idea, but the front yard is not suitable for this, Li Yihe gritted his teeth, or bought bluestone slabs to pave the road, but the backyard, leading to wells, ponds and forests, etc., they used stones to pave little by little.

Although he walked a little bit, Li Xiaoran said that it should be a "massage", and it could save money.

A few days before the wheat harvest, Ye Changsheng came back from the county.

"Yihe, you have been coming, I have something to tell you." Ye Changsheng stood in the open space with a very stern face, followed by a *-year-old girl.

Li Xiaoran looked at the little girl, her face was yellow, her body was thin as if a gust of wind could blow away, and her eyes were frightened and evasive. I don't know what Ye Changsheng is doing when he receives his own house, you must know that since he started building a house in their family, Li Xiaoran has rarely seen him, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

"Here comes Brother Changsheng." Li Yihe agreed loudly, stood up and walked towards him, he clapped his hands vigorously, and asked with a sincere smile: "Brother Changsheng, have you come back from the county?" He looked at the girl again and asked suspiciously, "Brother Changsheng, who is this girl?" ”

Ye Changsheng said: "Yihe, do you remember when a few children were taken captive, a young man told us those words? ”

Li Yihe nodded, "Remember, I remember that Brother Changsheng arranged for him to be a buddy in the restaurant where you delivered the food, what's wrong?" ”

"His name is Katsuko, and this girl is Katsuko's sister, called Zhi'er." Ye Changsheng's face was heavy, and he said in a solemn tone: "Shengzi was targeted because he helped us that time, and he was killed a few days ago. ”

Li Yihe opened his mouth in surprise, "Didn't those people all arrest them?" How could there be ......?"

Ye Changsheng looked at and listened to his words, his face suddenly turned pale, and he sighed and said: "Who would have thought that it was the younger brother named Li Da who killed the murderer, their brother was an orphan since he was a child, and he had a good relationship, and then Li Da followed that Mrs. Wang, he didn't want his brother to get involved with that woman, the two quarreled a few times, and finally fell out with his brother, and left the county seat in anger." A few days ago, he couldn't get along outside, so he wanted to come back to find his brother, but he didn't expect that when he heard that his brother was imprisoned and sentenced to be beheaded after autumn, after he inquired, he set his eyes on Katsuko, thinking that Katsuko betrayed his brother...... Alas, Katsuko also suffered from the disaster of innocence. ”

Ye Changsheng hesitated and said in a low voice: "Yihe, this child and her brother depend on each other, and the murderer was killed by the officials, but this child ...... I thought, you are also short of manpower here now, why don't you let her come over and help her younger siblings cook, feed the chickens and ducks, do you think? ”

Li Yihe scratched his head, wanted to agree and hesitated, "Brother Changsheng, this child is strange and pitiful, let her live with me first, anyway, the house is there, but what will happen in the future, I still have to discuss it with my family." ”

Ye Changsheng sighed, pulled him farther away, and said in a low voice: "Yihe, originally I wanted to take her home and let her be with Shu'er, but ...... Originally, I didn't want to tell you so early," he was silent for a moment before he said, "I'm going to leave here and take your sister-in-law and them to the Northlands." ”

Li Yihe was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly pulled him and said, "What are you talking about, Brother Changsheng, you want to leave here?" Why? ”

The family moved to other places, this is a big deal, like when he was a child, the Li family was almost bankrupt because he offended people, and if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to save his life, so he ran to this remote place to hide.

Ye Changsheng: What is this for?
