Father Li was grateful for the old man's teachings, and after the old man died, he not only sent him back to the mountain, but also enshrined his tablet with his parents at home, and asked his children and grandchildren to worship every day.

Father Li taught everyone to read and write when the children were young, and he was the only literate person in the village, and he was fair and generous, kind and generous, and respected by his neighbors, which also caused Li Tingyuan's family to be second to the village chief's family in the village, and it was a scholarly family.

There are two ways for scholars in Jinguo to become officials, one is that officials born in a family with titles and positions can be descended from the shadows and can be officials directly, and the other is the introduction of local famous people.

Father Li has a certain amount of knowledge, but because he has no background, he can only live the rest of his life in the village, but Father Li is also very content, and likes to study and work as a farmer in his spare time, or help the townspeople write letters and other things to make some money, as if he has a hermit.

Li Yangqing's mother, Qiu Wan'er, has a gentle temperament, is forty-three years old, and in this mother, who is as her name suggests, Li Yangqing feels the care of the woman, relying on herself to be an old woman, and often cheekily meets Li Qiu's coquettish requirements.

Li Qiu's is another person saved by Li Tingyuan's good deeds, Li Qiu's family went out with his family to visit relatives when he was young, and when his family was intercepted and killed by a strong man, he fled to Lijia Village under the cover of his family, and was rescued by Li's father when he was dying, and was taken in by Li Tingyuan's family because he was homeless after recuperating his body, and the two had feelings in the following days, and Qiu Wan'er married Li Tingyuan under the witness of Li's parents.

Li Tingyuan and Li Qiu's raised three sons and one daughter, because of Li Tingyuan's educated father, the family is lucky to have the opportunity to read and read, Li Yangqing is the old daughter of the family, just turned ten years old this year, about the same age as his nephews, and is very cared for and loved by the family.

The eldest Li Yangde, has a strong and gentle personality, meticulous thinking, and strong hands-on ability, in addition to farming, he loves to tinker with some gadgets, most of the furniture at home is made by him, Chinese New Year's Eve, wearing a patched but clean coarse cloth short brown, his humble face often hangs the kindness of an old father, like Li Yangqing's second father, much younger than himself Little Sister is very cared for.

has a son and a daughter, the eldest son Li Wendong is twelve years old, his personality is as stable as his father, wearing an earth-colored linen dress with patches, his hair is tied with a cloth towel of the same color, his eyes are bright, and his body is a little weak.

The eldest daughter, Li Wenqiu, followed the good looks of the Li family, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, but her complexion was a little bad, she was eleven years old this year, and her personality was quiet.

Li Yangde married his wife Li Wenshi, his appearance is a little ordinary, but there is a pair of dimples on his face, and he is a three-point smile when he meets people, and he is twenty-seven years old, probably because of the countryside, looking a little like he is in his thirties, a pair of hands full of traces of labor, managing the meals of the old and young family, trying to change the tasteless coarse grains, mixing wild vegetables from various seasons to make delicious nests or cakes, drinking a mouthful of porridge that is translucent and not seeing a few grains of rice every day, and the old pickles at home can be dealt with in a daze. The family has been used to it for so many years.

The second Li Yangwu, twenty-eight years old, has a tall and sturdy body that looks like a good worker, eight feet tall, with a dark face and a pair of thick black eyebrows.

I once heard people in the village say that when Li Yangwu was young and a group of village boys went up the mountain to hunt, he encountered a wolf, and he relied on the strength of the second brother to break through and lead everyone to escape.

There is no trace of being tortured by hard days on Li Yangwu's face, he exudes vigor and vitality, not like a father, he still has the impulse of a young man, and everyone in the village likes to call him for help, Li Yangwu can also help, and will never refuse perfunctorily.

The service of the family's fields also mainly relies on Li Yangwu, the main force, who is a good farmer, and is also the person who is the least like the Li family.

Li Yangwu's moves were also taught to him by his grandfather when he was young, who called the Li family he was a good material for practicing martial arts, Li Yangqing's grandfather was also a figure in the village back then, with his natural strength and good physical fitness to the town dart bureau to get a dart errand, only to go home to farm and tease his grandson when he was old, and the ability to practice martial arts was passed on to the second son.

Li Yangwu married Sun Xiangcui of Sunjia Village, the same age as Li Yangwu, Li Sun is a typical rural woman, perennial work with a slightly dark complexion, big waist and fat plate face, strong body, strong hands and feet, is said to be blessed in the countryside, hearty temperament, at first glance is a good hand at work, with the second servant of the family's five acres of land, these two are the main force of the family's farming.

Li Yangde and his wife Li Sun raised two sons, the eldest son Li Chengqiang was ten years old, Li Chenggang was nine years old, the physical fitness of the two sons followed the two husbands and wives, the physique is much higher than their peers, the strength is great, the brain is also flexible, the bright eyes often turn around, naughty and active, often run to the village to play with other children, the two brothers also practiced martial arts under the teaching of their father early, and some of the strength work at home can also be done.

The third child, Li Yangming, is also the youngest son of the Li family, and his sister Li Yangqing was also the beloved baby of the whole family when he was not born, now twelve years old, with handsome facial features, wearing an old but very clean coarse linen clothes, and his hair is always combed neatly in a bun, not as sloppy as the boys in the village.

Since childhood, he has been deaf and clear-sighted, with Li's father's love of reading, a few rolls of bamboo slips at home have been memorized, and he is responsible for supervising the study of Li Yangqing and several nephews.

may not be much older than Li Yangqing, the two siblings have the closest relationship and are loyal supporters of Li Yangqing.

Li Tingyuan also has a younger brother named Li Zhongshun, the two brothers since their respective wives and children after their parents decided to divide the family, the old couple followed Li Tingyuan to live, because the family population is large and is the eldest son, Li Tingyuan inherited the old house and five acres of land.

Li Zhongshun got most of the family's silver and three acres of land, and at the age of forty-five, he had twin sons, and Li Zhongshun named his two thirteen-year-old sons Li Nian and Li Si respectively in memory of his wife who died young.

Li Zhongshun is different from his younger brother Li Tingyuan, who can read and write, and has taken the road of a local traditional farmer, resting from sunrise to sunset, and relying on his hard-working hands to raise his family.

Because his wife left early, he was worried that his sons would be bullied by his stepwife, so he didn't take the steproom anymore, and raised his two sons by himself, and his main income depended on farming and going to the town to earn some strength and money.

Sometimes I help my younger brother's family farm and get some chewing, and as my two sons grow older, they can also help work in the fields, and the burden is not as great as before.

"Yangqing, get up!" , Li Qiu opened the curtain and entered the house, and the little girl just woke up from a daze.

"Mother, brother and sister-in-law are you back, I slept too long today, mother, you should wake me up early and help everyone do something."

"Hehe, you're still young and still growing your body! It's okay to sleep a little longer, they'll be back later, it's almost lunch, go wash up. Li Qiu looked at the little girl who lowered her head and felt a little guilty, rubbed the soft hair of the little girl, and felt pity in her heart, all because the family conditions were not good, and the child could not eat some good supplements.

"Okay mother, I'll go clean up and clean up." Li Yangqing jumped out of the door, came to the kitchen of the house, and saw that the sister-in-law had already prepared the family's meal, and the aroma of food woke up the little girl's stomach.

"Yangqing, get up! It's time to eat, and today I made multigrain cakes with gruel, and I left hot water for you in the pot. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Yangqing said while holding a little broken wooden basin at home and making a scoop of hot water, mixing it with a little cold water, and testing the water temperature with his hands, which is not bad, hey! The family is still too poor, when can I have a basin of my own?

"We're back." , I heard Li Yangwu's voice from afar.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, second sister-in-law, third brother, you are back, it's time to eat, I'll fetch water and wash your hands, where have the nephews gone?"

"Okay, the youngest little girls have gone to the village to play early in the morning, you go outside and ask them to find them." , Li Yangming looked at Li Yangqing with a smile and said.

"Hey! I'm going to go and call them back. Li Yangqing, a child with the soul of an adult, is generally never interested in the games of children in the village.

Li Yangqing ran out of the house as he spoke, and under the willow tree not far from the door of his house, he saw his nephews and village children playing with their small toys in a pile.

"Cheng Gang, Cheng Qiang, Wen Qiu, go home for dinner." , Li Yangqing shouted from afar.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let's go back." , The ten-year-old nephew Li Chengqiang stood up and waved his little hand to Li Yangqing in the distance.

"We're leaving, let's play with the stone and apricot next time! Stone next time remember to bring your slingshot, haha, let's go first" Li Chenggang didn't forget to tell his little friend before leaving.

"Let's go, let's go! I won't forget, we're going home too. Shi picked up the toys on the ground, waved his hand to Li Chenggang, Li Chengqiang, and Li Wenqiu, and ran home without looking back.

Li Chengqiang also took his sister Li Wenqiu's hand and ran towards his little aunt with Li Chenggang.

Several babies called out in unison, "Sister-in-law." Although the sister-in-law is taller than them, she is about the same age as them.

"Well, I'm going home for dinner, and the adults in the family are back, so it's time for us."

"Sister-in-law, what do you eat at noon?" , Li Wenqiu raised her little head a little shyly.

"Multigrain cakes with gruel, sister-in-law has already made it."

"Okay! It's been a long time since I've eaten a cake. ”

Trotting all the way to the house, several babies slipped to the kitchen, found water to wash their hands, and sat down at the table in the hall, Li Yangqing saw that his father, brother and sister-in-law were already sitting around the square table, the Li family was a separate table for men and women, a table for men and women at a table, and a table for women headed by Li Qiu.
