Three years, in the long river of years, is just a short moment! In the passage of time in these more than 1,000 days, she has used her own ways and habits to drive, and by the way, she has also subtly changed the habits of many people around her.

In the past, because of the poor family, everything I ate at home was as little oil and water as possible, and I picked up the boiled dishes for whatever I ate, and then put some lard or something to fry after cooking, so that I could eat and be half full, but now I ......

At home, in the more than 20 acres of fields under Hua Ge'er's name, the rice in the paddy fields is planted twice a year, and the newly reclaimed slopes will be planted with various seeds from the space according to the season, including high-quality wheat, rapeseed, high-yield corn, soybeans, soybeans, peas, beans, and other staple grains. On the hillside, the mulberry leaves were so thick and green that they spread freely in the breeze.

The grain and vegetables in the field have not been cut off for several years, and it is more than enough to supply the three restaurants and shops of the family.

"What about Li Mengfan?" Li Mingjie walked around the field today, and when he came back, he didn't see this person at the dinner table, so he frowned and asked.

Cheng Shi gently and skillfully clothed the dishes and chopsticks, and replied softly: "She went to the fourth child's house, and she will come back after dinner." ”

"It's so decent, what kind of food do you eat at someone else's house?" Li Mingjie clenched his hand into a fist and slammed it on the table.

"What's someone else's?" Cheng suddenly turned around and glared at Li Mingjie, and lowered his voice: "Can't you pay attention to what you say?" If the fourth child hears this, I don't know how much to respond.

Li Mingjie glared angrily at the two domestic servants and two maids standing outside the dining room with their heads down, seeing that they were silent and docile, presumably even if they heard it, they didn't dare to talk more in front of their younger brother, so he glared at Cheng and replied a little softer: "My daughter is what you are used to, and she is very close to her fourth uncle all day long, and I don't have a good face with her." ”

"You say, who told you to keep a straight face to her all day long? Don't you look at it, now, in our family, aren't all these belongings that she bought for her brother? It's good for her to be a daughter in someone's house, but you, you will always look like she is dissatisfied with everything she does, Mingquan is not like you. ”

After setting up a thin porcelain wine glass for her husband, Cheng took a delicate white thin porcelain wine jug from the Duobaoge on the side of the hall, which was the wine that the domestic servant had just brought from the mountain cellar.

"I said that she Li Mengfan is an ignorant ......" Li Mingjie took a big sip of wolfberry wine, his own daughter and her uncle kissed, which made him unhappy as a father in his eyes.

"Even this wine, when it was soaked, Lao Tzu said that it was delicious, and she immediately asked someone to send a jar to her fourth uncle, which is very treasured!"

Cheng glanced at her husband angrily, lifted her skirt and sat down on the side next to Li Mingjie, and now, she gradually added an elegance and grace because she no longer worked in the field herself: "It's just a jar of wine, you love to drink this taste, Mengfan doesn't brew enough for you, don't we have it in our wine shop and restaurant?" No one can shorten the shortage, you are a family member, right? By the way, eat something first, don't drink on an empty stomach, didn't Mengfan say a long time ago that drinking on an empty stomach hurts your body? ”

"......" Li Mingjie glanced at his wife impatiently: "She knows a fart!" ~”

A girl's family, strange and strange does not like to embroider and make clothes, but loves to read and write, he is also obedient to her stubbornness, but I don't know where she came from, Cheng Tianjie's trustee bought books and came back to see, now, in her originally spacious room, the outside of the one actually made her a whole large bookcase against the wall, who walked in, the first thing he saw was a cabinet full of books, what strange things, even more bookish than him, a talented man.

"What did you say about eating?" Cheng Shi was angry and glared at her husband again, she hates it the most when people talk about digested things when they eat, and their appetite will be lost.

"Daddy......" Brother Hua, who is already nine years old, also glared at him: "Don't say foul language to affect my eating!" ~”

In exchange for a dissatisfied glance from his old son, but also in exchange for a temporary silence, not long after, Cheng Shi casually brought up the conversation: "Hua'er is nine years old, Li Mengfan, also fourteen years old, master, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Mingjie raised his head, and the chopsticks he had just stretched out hesitated to pick up the dish and took it back: "Fourteen, it's time to pay attention." The woman fifteen and Lu, the daughter of an ordinary family, almost had a plan for a long time: "Her mother, which one do you say Li Mengfan's girl is in love with?" ”

Cheng looked at her husband speechlessly: "What do you mean by which one does Li Mengfan fall into?" Look at what you say! You, the father, won't plan for your daughter? Or let her pick her own husband? "Other people's daughters have to obey their parents' orders, and in her family, her husband asked her son, which one did her daughter like.

At this time, Hua Ge'er had already eaten enough, and ran out to play in the yard, the servants and maids were also around him, and the couple in the dining room did not have much scruples about talking.

Therefore, Li Mingjie hooked his lips at his wife very complacently, and snorted coldly: "Lao Tzu's daughter, no matter how you say it, she is also a literate person, with a temper like Lao Tzu, enough to screw; You said that if you find someone for her that you look like, she will be obedient when the time comes? It's ...... weird."

Li Mengfan, this girl, he can see from the crying sound when he is in swaddling clothes, he is not a peaceful master, over the years, he has been the one who makes her obedient at any time, and she is also a more obedient person.

"Then I'll take a chance to ask her what she thinks?" Cheng said to her husband in an inquiring tone.

"Well, ask." Li Mingjie nodded, leaned into Cheng's ear and whispered: "Actually, I think that little son is very close to our family Li Mengfan's age, and that kid has a high status......

Cheng Shi was startled, Huo Di turned his face away: "No, the door is not right, we can't afford to climb high!" "What is her father doing with this heart? Their Li family is a kind of farmer, at most, they are not poor households now, they can be regarded as a small amount of solidity, but one is high in the sky and one is far away, so it's too much!

Almost hit his nose, Li Mingjie sat up impatiently, and said: "The Han family's kid's family background, his father is lame, his mother is gone, his eldest brother is also married to a tenant girl of our family, and his sister is looking for a Jianghu person who has no father and no mother to take refuge in our village, that person is still working as a nurse in Biyun Tianshan Villa to earn two small money, you say such a family, do you think you have wronged our Li family's eldest lady?" ”

I don't know how much self-ridicule this 'eldest lady' came out of Mengfan's father's mouth.

"It's also ......" Cheng thought carefully about her husband's analysis, nodded, and gently, with a slight hesitation in his tone: "Master......, you ...... you say, why is Helian Gongzi in his early twenties and not married?" ”

"Prince Helian?" Li Mingjie straightened up again, no way, in the past two years, in this square land, many people will mention these four words, and there will be a kind of admiration for the young man.

In the past three years, he seems to have mysteriously appeared in all possible or impossible dangerous places with a team of proud soldiers and fierce generals countless times, from the beginning of the unmobilized private troops to defend against the enemy, he was almost pulled to the court and beheaded by the above, and quickly withdrew from the danger, just because the main general under the command of the city lord of Lingyun City personally brought people to name important people, but in the end, he accidentally stayed in Phoenix Ridge, not far from them, day after day, year after year, in front of a small leading troop team.

However, just such a small team is actually weirdly sifting out one general after another from his hands. Those people all walked out one after another, and I heard that some of them also held no small positions in their respective armies, and the smallest official positions were one level higher than those of Helian Gongzi.

"Madam, what do you say this Helian Gongzi is drawing?" Li Mingjie pouted with slight disdain: "It's just useless, it's been all these years, and I don't know how to find a relationship and make the official bigger...... Besides, they're brother and sister! ”

"It's a brother and sister!" Cheng accentuated his tone! At her age, she can't give birth to such a big son.

In Li Mingquan's house, which is not far away, the courtyard of the two entrances is spacious and atmospheric, some flowers are planted against the wall at the four corners of the front yard, and there are many small flower pots along the root of the wall.

In the courtyard, in a delicate eaves bright pavilion, in the small pavilion under the eight bright palace lamps, like daylight, Mengfan elegantly and gently put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Uncle, aunt, use slowly!" ”

Li Mingquan raised his head: "Hmm! ”

The corners of Yang's mouth also tried his best to pull out a touch of tenderness: "Fanfan, you sit down for a while, or go for a walk in the yard!" ”

Meng Fan smiled and stood up again, walked to the flower garden in the corner of the courtyard, and beside him, there was already a clever maid handing mouthwash: "Miss! ”

glanced at the little maid lightly, and saw that it was Guizhi, the daughter of the housekeeper of the uncle's family, hooked her lips and said, "Thank you!" Then he took the mouthwash cup.

After a while, she handed over the mouthwash cup she had dedicated to her uncle's house, and Gui Zhi took it, she walked around the yard very casually, Gui Zhi hurried away, and came in a hurry, holding a paper pink lantern in her hand, and followed Mengfan to walk around the yard.
