Chapter 114: The Li Family
Li Da heard this question, his face turned a little red, and said, "I've been working in the capital to repay the kindness of the lady who saved me back then, Dad, you also know who in the capital has taken a fancy to me!" ”
Li Manshan listened to this, and there was some truth, he actually didn't want his son to marry a daughter-in-law in the capital, what if he didn't come back from living in the capital, now that his son is back, the daughter-in-law is still good to find a local one, "It's okay, it's good for people to come back, it's inconvenient for you to talk about family affairs when you're out alone, now that you're home, go back and let your second mother give you a family affair!" Li Manshan said with a smile.
As soon as Li Da heard that the Lin family gave him Zhang Luo's family affairs, he was immediately very disgusted, this woman even dared to sell my sister, what good family affairs could she give me Zhang Luo, so he said with an unhappy face, "This matter is not in a hurry, let's talk about it later!" ”
Seeing his son's unsafe face, Li Manshan thought that he might still have an opinion on the Lin family, and he would slowly explain it himself in the future, so he said, "Okay, let's talk about it later!" Let's go to the house to do it, don't be all outside, the lotus goes to Zhang Luo tea to entertain guests! ”
Lin Shi saw that she let herself go to Zhang Luo tea, she didn't want to go, she still wanted to go into the house to listen to what they said, this big man has been working outside for so many years, maybe he has saved a lot of silver, maybe it will be handed over to his father when the time comes, how can he not be around and watch.
She didn't want to go, so she turned her head and saw Li Qingxiu, who was crying on the side, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she thought of an idea, so she said, "Let Qian'er go, we can do these little things now!" ”
He Qian didn't want to go, she heard it, these people are from the capital, she still wants to hear how prosperous the capital is, just look at the little girl's outfit, her eyes are shining, if these clothes and jewelry are all worn on her, how good it would be! But when she saw her mother's eyes, she obediently said, "Yes, mother, I'll go!" ”
Li Manshan is honest, in order not to fall into the mouth, he generally does not instruct his stepchildren to work at home, and when he saw that Lin let his daughter work, he said, "Then let Xiu'er go, Xiu'er is two years older and is a sister, and there is no reason for a sister to let her sister work!" ”
When Lin heard Li Manshan's words, a smile flashed in her eyes, she knew that Li Manshan would say this, and then pretended to be disgusted and said, "Such a little work, and I can't get tired of a person, let's let Qian'er go, she can take you in is a blessing from the previous life, don't always get used to her!" ”
"Since we are our children, I will treat them equally, so don't say anything about whether to take them in or not in the future. That's how it should be, Xiu'er hurry up! Li Manshan was caught by the Lin family in a few words, completely ignoring his daughter's surprise and frightening today, and also pulled with those few Xi Po, how can he still have the strength to carry water now!
Li Da, who was about to enter the house, heard this, and the anger that he had suppressed just now suddenly came up again, he couldn't figure it out, didn't he just leave home for a few years, why did his father become so confused now.
Seeing this, Mama Liu hurriedly said, "Master Li, don't bother, our master and Second Master Shi are brothers, and this time we handed over the children to him to take care of, but I didn't mean to see him, and the family didn't need to serve any tea." What's more, Miss Xiu'er was frightened today, I think it's better to let her go back to her room to have a good rest! ”
Li Manshan heard Mama Liu say that her daughter was frightened, and suddenly remembered today's incident, and said to Li Qingxiu with a guilty face, "Xiu'er, Dad was confused for a while, I didn't remember that you were frightened, you don't need you here, you hurry back to the room to rest!" Then he turned around and said to Lin with an apologetic face, "Lotus, you should go!" ”
Lin didn't expect that it would be her turn in the end, and she blamed Mama Liu for talking too much, but she didn't dare to show it, and she didn't want to really let her daughter boil water.
Li Qingmu, who was standing on the side at this time, glared at Lin's back fiercely, and this action was seen by Ruoyun. It seems that Li Da's younger brother is also quite dissatisfied with the Lin family!
Everyone entered the house, and the guests and hosts sat down, Ruoyun looked at the house, and it looked quite new, the furniture and everything were eighty percent new, and the house was very clean.
And just now, Ruoyun also looked at this yard outside, and found that this yard is not bad, and the four spacious main houses look like they have been newly built for a few years, but the few wing rooms where Li Qingxiu lives are a little dilapidated, and they should not be built at the same time as this main house.
However, the chickens are fed in the yard, and the call of pigs can be heard in the backyard, and a high courtyard wall has been erected.
Just as I was thinking about it, Li Da asked this: "Dad, I see that this main house is not what it looked like when I left home, it was newly built, right?" ”
"Yes, it was a few years ago that your younger brother Aoki reached the age of marriage, and your mother discussed with me the money you left behind to build these four main houses. It's a pity that your mother was tired when she was building the house, and then she got a cold and was sick intermittently for more than half a year. Hey, your mother and I have suffered all my life, and we finally built a new house, and my body is not angry! When Li Manshan talked about his wife, his eyes were red, and his face was full of reluctance and pity.
Li Da knew the true reason for his mother's death this time, and said in a low voice with red eyes, "It's because the son is unfilial and failed to send his mother on the last journey, hey, where is my mother buried?" I'm going to kowtow to him! ”
"In our ancestral grave, there is still a place next to it, and when I am a hundred years old, you will bury me and your mother together!" Tomorrow you prepare some paper money and offerings, and let Aoki take you there! Li Manshan commanded.
"Yes, Dad!" The Li family brothers should be. Speaking such a sad topic, the room suddenly filled the room with a sad atmosphere.
Looking at Li Da's current sense of powerlessness that he wants to support but does not wait, Ruoyun thought of his relatives in his previous life, and thought of his mother and father in this life, Tian'er felt her sister's sadness, and held Ruoyun's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would leave. Ruoyun knew that she had touched Tian'er's sensitive nerves again, so she quickly reached out and stroked his head to comfort her.
And Chu Ziheng, who was sitting on the side, also thought of his mother, and suddenly felt that he and Li Da had a feeling of sympathy for each other, and he also lowered his head sullenly, and his eyes were red.
Li Manshan looked up and saw the situation in the room, and quickly broke the deadlock and said, "Look at me, people love to talk nonsense when they are old, if Da Lang's mother knows that he has returned home safely now, I don't know how happy he will be, you go to the grave tomorrow and tell your mother so that she can be happy!" ”
Then he turned his head to Ruoyun and the others, "Since you have arrived at our house, it is the same as when you arrive at your own home, don't be restrained, and live here with peace of mind in the future, San Lang, you hurry up and go to the butcher's house in the village to cut slivers of meat, and then go to make a pot of good wine, and then let's kill a chicken in a while, and wash the dust for your eldest brother!" ”
As he spoke, he took out the silver from his arms and gave it to Li Qingmu, who was standing on the side. These words happened to be heard by the Lin family, who came into the house to pour tea for everyone. When she saw the silver given by Li Manshan, she was full of distress, this money used to be hers, and today she entertained these people in vain.
However, she didn't come out, but said happily, "Okay, I'll cook in a while, cook a few dishes for everyone, and you guys have a few drinks!" "When she cooks, she can hide some of these chickens and meat, and when the time comes, she will open a small stove for Qian'er and Cong'er when others are away.
Seeing this, Ruoyun said, "Grandpa Li is welcome, isn't it almost the New Year, when we came from Suzhou, we purchased some New Year's goods by the way, and there was everything in the car, so there was no need to buy it separately." ”
Then he turned his head to look at Li Dadao, "Uncle Li, why don't you hurry up and go to Cheshan to unload the New Year's goods, the autumn breeze is still watching the car outside!" ”
As soon as Lin heard that he had also purchased New Year's goods in Suzhou, he still had to do it, could the things brought from Suzhou City be wrong, and said with a smile, "Oh, there are still people watching the car outside, don't say it earlier, it's cold outside, hurry up and bring the car into the house, let's go, I'll go with you!" ”
When Li Manshan heard that people had brought New Year's goods over, he was also embarrassed and said, "I said that there were two carriages at the door when I first came, because I was in a hurry and didn't ask in detail, it turned out to be yours, so hurry up and invite this autumn breeze brother in, it's cold outside!" ”
When Lin heard this, her eyes widened, she had not been discharged from the courtyard all the time, at first she thought that these people were hired to come back, but she didn't think that there were two carriages outside, oops, God, don't talk about anything else, just two carriages are not worth hundreds of taels of silver, I didn't expect this big man to mix so decently outside, looking at Li Da, Lin felt that real money had rushed over him.
"Go, go, go, hurry up and lead the carriage!" Lin was about to go out with joy, as if the carriage had become hers.
Li Da looked at her and became angry, "There are so many of us men, we don't need you as a woman, you better rest in the house!" Aoki, go unload your things with my brother. Li Da blocked Lin's way and walked out of the door first.
"Oh, brother, it's here!" Aoki also followed Li Da out of the door, and then Yin Zhen and Yeli also followed out one after another, and the women in the house did not move, and the Lin family saw this scene and did not go in or out.
But in the end, the silver won over the face, and he raised his feet and planned to go out to have a look, but Li Manshan said, "Don't go, just have Da Lang and San Lang here, it's cold outside, you can't move things from a woman's house, don't go!" Li Manshan said this purely for the sake of the Lin family.
Li Manshan spoke, usually she always played a very docile appearance inside, and the Lin family could only sit obediently in the room and not go out. RS
