Chapter 197: The Li Family's Secrets

Farming is not Li Su's strong point, he has lived two lifetimes and is not good at it, he lived in the city in his previous life, he has no concept of crops, and he knows more than half of his father.

But what he knows, Dad definitely doesn't know, such as greenhouse vegetables.

There is a shortage of vegetables in the Tang Dynasty, because there are too few species, the wild vegetables in the wasteland are not counted, and there are only a few kinds of vegetables in the serious eight hundred, which is still in spring and summer, and everything withers in winter, and no vegetables can grow.

After listening to what his father said, Li Su couldn't help but have a strong sense of crisis.

The world is so weird, the poor are always looking forward to eating meat, the best meal is meat buns, a bite of a big fat slices of fat and oil flowing down the corner of the mouth is a fairy-like day, and people who live a comfortable life only want to eat a few more bites of vegetables, at least Li Su thinks so.

Imagining that in winter, he could only eat large pieces of meat every day, and Li Su felt shuddered.

"Dad, the family will give me fifty acres of land"

Li Daozheng paused for a moment: "What do you want to do?" Fifty acres of land is a lot, and those who have to pay taxes to the officials do not dare to do it indiscriminately. ”

"It's not bad, the child wants to grow vegetables."

"Growing vegetables?"

"Yes, in the future, our family will be able to eat green vegetables in the winter."

Li Daozheng snorted, with a very disdainful authoritative expert expression: "How can there be green vegetables in winter?" Say it and make the dealer laugh. ”

Li Su grinned: "Try it, maybe there is." ”

Li Daozheng hesitated for a moment, thinking of his son's mysterious ability, who made this and that, it seems that he has never seen him fail, maybe

Anyway, the family now has a few hundred acres of land, which can be regarded as a serious owner's house, so why not give him fifty acres and let him try? After all, the land in the family was earned by the son's ability.

Li Daozheng gritted his teeth: "Okay, give you fifty acres, I will kill you if you can't eat green vegetables in winter." ”

Li Su was satisfied. He smiled at his father, threw down his chopsticks and ran into the house to prepare his things.

Li Daozheng watched his son eat the leftover meals and vegetables, and snorted angrily in dissatisfaction. Muttering something, he drove the rest of his son's meal into his bowl. Happily dig into your mouth.

After eating a little bit of food on the table, Li Daozheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, burped, and watched his son rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in the front yard and not knowing what to find, Li Daozheng squinted, showing a satisfied but stunned expression.

"The baby grows up, and he is becoming more and more capable," Li Daozheng muttered, as if pleased. and as if worried.

The front yard is the house where Li Daozheng lives, and after the new house is completed, Li Daozheng is reluctant to live in the inner courtyard, saying that he is not used to it, so he casually chooses a wing room to live in the front yard.

Li Su rummaged through the cabinets in his father's room, and the house was in chaos as if it had suffered a disaster, and the two little maids wanted to come in to help but didn't dare, so they stood at the door and stopped talking.

Seeing that autumn is approaching, since I have decided to plant greenhouse vegetables, I have to start preparing now. Fifty acres of land is used to grow vegetables, and the future yield must be a terrifying number, but there are not too many green vegetables in winter. Moreover, all the powerful families in Chang'an City need it, and in the future, the veterans of the Cheng family and the Niu family will send a little, and the thick and strong legs with their own styles will be firmly embraced, which is also a good thing for Li Su.

The biggest difficulty in building a greenhouse is that there is no plastic film in this era, and Li Su has no way to produce plastic film, so he can only replace it with other things. As for the constant temperature in the greenhouse, it is not a big problem.

Li Su rummaged around in his father's room. I just want to find a piece of such fabric as a reference.

Daddy's house was clean, but it wasn't symmetrical. The foot clothes and blouses were piled together, the calf pants and the short shirts were piled together, and they were placed very irregularly, and Li Su sweated on the tip of his nose after looking for a while, and he had the urge to burn the whole room with a fire.

It's so unsophisticated, why never consider the beauty of symmetry and neatness? The father and son live under the same roof every day, why doesn't my father learn from me, a good person?

Li Su sighed, and then began to busy cleaning up the house for his father.

Opening a blackened camphor wood box, there were many old cloth heads inside, Li Su flipped it over, a silky feel slid through the palm of his hand, Li Su took a moment and pulled out this piece of silk cloth.

This is a very soft silk scarf, the original white has been eroded by the years, the background color has turned yellow, embroidered with two black magpies, and perched on a branch with a peach huā, the embroidery is very good, very vivid and dexterous.

Li Su stared at the yellowed silk scarf in his hand with wide eyes, and was deeply surprised.

There are only father and son in the Li family, where did this silk scarf that was obviously embroidered by a woman come from?

Looking at the yellowing background of this fabric, it seems that it has been some years, and the only explanation is Li Su's mother who died early before she met.

Why is such a monumental thing hidden in a box? In the dog blood drama, there is nothing to take out and look at it with nostalgia, sniff it a few times, and then giggle twice like a fetish pervert, Daddy is not playing cards according to the routine

"Daddy, the kid found this thing in your house, is it my mother's?" Li Suxing rushed to bring the silk scarf to Li Daozheng.

Li Daozheng was still sitting at the table in the front hall, dazed, not knowing what was on his mind, and when he saw the silk scarf in Li Su's hand, his face couldn't help but change greatly.

"Melon coward, where did you turn it out?"

"In a box in your house."

Li Daozheng snatched the silk scarf with his hand, stuffed it into his arms indiscriminately, and then actually sacrificed the long-lost magic weapon.

"Lao Tzu will kill you today and tell you to rummage things!"

The wisteria split his head and covered his face towards Li Su, Li Su saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly turned around and ran, and a farce of Lao Tzu chasing and killing his son was staged in the courtyard of the Li family.

Under the pillars on the side of the courtyard, Steward Xue and a group of miscellaneous maids looked at this scene dumbfounded, the housekeeper wanted to step forward to persuade, just took a step into the courtyard, and found that the murderous aura in the courtyard was approaching, and hurriedly shrunk back, glared at each other, scolded and drove the lively miscellaneous servants and maids away.

Li Su hugged his head and ran away, I don't know how many rattans he had received on his body, kept going around the yard with his father, and finally found a gap and ran out of the gate.

**********************************************************

On the mountainside at the east end of the village, the brothers Wang Zhu and Wang Zhi squatted under a ginkgo tree and yawned boringly, and Li Su stared at the village in the distance in a daze.

It's so strange, it's just a silk scarf, why does Dad look angry? It's as if someone was caught raping him on the spot, and then he thinks about it, it seems that he has never heard his father mention the deceased mother in the past half a year, and Li Su has long been accustomed to the father and son relying on each other, as if it is a very normal thing to have only two men in the family, and only one more woman is shocking.

However, in a normal family, there should be a woman, even if this woman has passed away for many years, she should still be a part of the family, and if there is nothing to do, she will show a look of reminiscence or nostalgia or melancholy, showing a touch of sadness and regret to talk about what happened when her mother was still alive, but all normal fathers will do this, right?

Why doesn't Daddy go off the beaten path?

Li Su didn't speak, and the Wang brothers drooped their heads listlessly and fell asleep.

The brothers are hung up, Wang Zhi's fractured right arm is still on the splint, the bruise on his face has not disappeared, after the Dongshi incident calmed down, Wang Zhi was not embarrassed to continue to live in the princess's mansion, went back to his own home, when he returned home, his father and mother were frightened, and asked again and again what was going on with the injuries on his body, Wang Zhi was not stupid, he said that he was fighting with someone in Chang'an City, and he was injured all over his body, of course, the identity of the other party did not dare to say, for fear that his father and mother would be scared to death.

There was a little bruise on the corner of Wang Zhu's mouth, obviously he was taught a lesson by his mother-in-law again, and he insisted that he fell by himself, a very reasonable explanation, just now when Li Su went to Wang's house to call the brothers with a scar from being beaten by his father, he also explained that he fell.

"Wang Zhuan, have you heard your father or the villagers mention my mother?"

Wang Zhuan's half-yawned suddenly paused, and he looked at Li Su with teary eyes: "Your mother? Isn't it dead for many years? ”

"After my mother died, your father and mother didn't mention her?"

Wang Zhu scratched his head: "I have occasionally heard a little, saying that your mother is a little withdrawn, rarely goes out, and is often locked up at home to do embroidery work"

"What else?"

"Also, I heard that your mother was born very beautiful, more beautiful than all the mothers-in-law and aunts in the village, and she is white and clean, and she speaks quietly, unlike a country woman."

Li Su touched his face, it turned out that he was so handsome because he inherited his mother's genes, and he thought about it, his father looked too ordinary, not like Li Su at all, Li Su sometimes wondered if he picked it up.

"What else?"

"Well, I heard that your father and your mother moved to Taiping Village more than ten years ago, so the village did not set up your Li family's ancestral ancestral hall, because it is foreign, Grandpa Zhao asked your father before, your father said that the Li family is thin and sorry for the ancestors, so there is no need to set up an ancestral hall, and the Li family will be built after the branches and leaves are scattered in the coming year, and the last time you were knighted by His Majesty, it stands to reason that you should call the clansmen into the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, one to comfort the ancestors, and the other is from home is also beautiful, but your Li family does not have an ancestral hall, so there is no worship, your father only invited the neighbors to have a banquet."

Li Su looked thoughtfully at the rolling mountains in the distance.

The first time I heard rumors about my mother, although they were all gossip, Li Su thought it was very interesting, and the rumors were in my ears, but the doubts in my heart became deeper and deeper.

"Wang Zhuan, do you know where my mother is buried?"

Wang Zhu shook his head, Li Su looked at Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi also shook his head.

"Go and inquire for me, I want to go to my mother's grave."
