Chapter 25: Mother Li returns and plans a new house
I didn't say anything all the way, and finally I walked to the door.
Before I entered the door, a pungent smell came from the backyard.
Heavy, spicy, sweet... It's the taste of Master Kong.
"This Master Kong is so fragrant?" Li Cheng took a deep breath, a little incredulous.
In his previous life, if he said that he ate the most junk food, it was undoubtedly this instant noodles, and he ate it directly to the point where he wanted to vomit! That's why I didn't give myself the instant noodles I exchanged.
Produced by the system, must be a high-quality product?
Well, I guess that's the only way to explain it.
"Son, what is so fragrant, I'm afraid our family is not a thief in this matter, right?" Mother Li rushed up from behind and asked Li Cheng worriedly, and she was also deeply attracted by this fragrance.
The second monk Li Chengzhang was puzzled, does this thing have anything to do with the thief that I don't know?
Wan Niang was even more unbearable, she was there gulping greedily inhaling the rich aroma in the air, if it weren't for Mother Li's restraint, she would have rushed into the house long ago!
Li Cheng was stunned, and immediately said: "Mother, this is some food I found, now Xiaomei and Caiyi should eat there, since you are here, then I will go and soak it for you." ”
As he spoke, Li Cheng stepped into the house. He put the baggage on the table, then turned and went to the back kitchen.
Li Cheng's back kitchen is connected to the backyard, and when I looked from the back kitchen, I saw two girls sitting in the backyard sucking and eating instant noodles.
Caiyi is in Da Ertuo at the moment, the previous lady image is completely gone, and the beautiful Caidie fairy dress is also stained with some oil.
The little girl has fewer scruples, and her mouth is full of oil.
"These two Nizi, I don't know if they are cooked?" Li Cheng shook his head and sighed, then smiled and ignored it.
He still knows the power of instant noodles, and he thinks that when he first ate instant noodles, he was also full of ugliness, but it was not much better than this.
Take out two buckets of instant noodles from the system space, and prepare the seasoning with the hot water left over from the instant noodles.
… Boiling water... The lid was sealed in one go, and then Li Cheng took out eight slices of bread and found a clay pot to hold it.
After a while, Li Cheng came out carrying two buckets of instant noodles.
At this time, in the courtyard of the Li family, Li's mother was holding Caiyi's hand and asking long and short questions, and the joy in her eyes was undisguised, looking at a standard daughter-in-law alive.
And this is just because Caiyi said at the beginning that she admired Li Cheng, and Li's mother didn't think much about it.
After all, which child is not the best in his own eyes, what is wrong with individual admirers, let alone such a beautiful and considerate girl.
It's terrible now, and it directly spoiled Li Mule, pulling Caiyi for a while to cool the mushrooms and the long mushrooms to be cool, so not affectionate.
In this regard, Li Cheng is also helpless, Caiyi's origin is not easy to explain to Li's mother, and the current situation is unexpectedly good.
"Mother, sister, this is some food I found outside, so you can eat it hot."
Stubbornly, Li Cheng avoided Caiyi and the little girl's hot eyes, put two buckets of instant noodles in front of Li Mu and Wan Niang, and signaled that they could eat them.
Mother Li stretched out her calloused hand to take the instant noodles in Li Cheng's hand, looked at the sensible Li Cheng, the old face was relieved for a while, and because the tears were very shallow, she was sad again this time, and she sobbed directly: "Okay, okay, Da Lang has grown up and learned to be filial." ”
The eldest sister Wanniang swallowed her saliva, couldn't control it, and wanted to reach out to pick it up, but she still forcibly asked, "Da Lang, don't you eat some?" Erya told us that you hadn't eaten in the morning. ”
Li Cheng hurriedly waved his hand: "No, but I'm not hungry, you and your mother just came back from the city, presumably hungry." Sister, you and your mother eat quickly, and I'll get some things in the back kitchen. ”
Hearing Li Cheng say that there was still a back kitchen, the little girl who had been playing the role of soy sauce on the side suddenly couldn't sit still: "Brother! Elder brother! Er Ya still wants to da, I haven't eaten enough just now! ”
Caiyi stared at the two buckets of instant noodles with affection, and the thoughts expressed were no different from Erya.
Li Cheng ignored the little girl, and then said: "Sister, mother, you just came back from the city, you must be hungry, eat some while it's hot, I'll come when I go." ”
Li Cheng looked at the two little girls who were looking forward to it again, and said, "Caiyi, Erya, I know you still want to eat, but this thing can only eat one bucket at a time, and eating too much will hurt your body." Wait here while I'll get you something else and promise to keep you satisfied. ”
Then without waiting for the two girls to react, Li Cheng went to the back kitchen.
After a while, Li Cheng took out the clay pot with bread, took a slice of it himself, and then motioned for them to eat.
"Brother, what is this? It's beautiful! Is this edible? Erya took a piece of bread and looked at it repeatedly in his hand, and was amazed.
"Childe! Caiyi also wants to know mile~"
Li Cheng glanced at it and found that it was not only Erya and Caiyi, but other people were also staring at him, and the puzzled look was undisguised, and a big question mark could be put down in his eyes.
The bread that Li Cheng took out this time was given by the system, the four sides of the bread were slightly reddish and yellow, the center was white, and there was a beautiful pattern depicted and painted, which was a peony flower.
It is no wonder that the little girl will say that it is very beautiful, although this handicraft can be seen everywhere in later generations, but in the Tang Dynasty, it has become a rare thing that no one has ever seen.
Li Cheng thought for a while and understood. The ideological cross-generational gap cannot be bridged, which will be said to be beautiful by anyone.
It's just, who is running to this bread with a whole flower, and his brain is caught by the door, right?!
After a lot of nonsense, Li Chengcai made the origin of this bread clear. Except for what was not said from the system, the others were simply said to understand.
In short, it is a sentence: colorless, tasteless, non-toxic, you can satisfy your hunger, and you can eat it with confidence.
Not to mention this stubble, after the family sat in the courtyard and ate this meal lively, Li Cheng said his plan just now.
Build a new house! Buy land! Be a landlord!
Mother Li was taken aback when she heard this, and secretly wondered if her son had turned back to the stupid and stupid man who lacked a tendon.
Mother Li: "Cheng'er, what nonsense are you talking about, where does our family have the money to build a new house, if there is money, why can't your eldest sister find a dowry to marry out now..."
Li Cheng: "Mother, the child is serious, listen to me, the house must be built, and the eldest sister's dowry is also available, but I am reluctant to marry the eldest sister like this, how can she marry a woman when she is still growing her body?"
Mother, you and Wanniang don't leave in the future, you can't make a lot of money when you go out to work for a big family, and you will be looked down upon by others.
A few days ago, my son I saved a nobleman, and before leaving, the nobleman gave me some silver as a reward, and I had to accept it...
Our family is used to being poor, and we can't use a few dollars a year, so I thought about using the money to buy some food and ask the people in our village to help build a new house... Mother, do you think it? ”
Li Cheng lied.
There is no way to do this, if you really want to tell the truth, you will expose the existence of the system, and the system must not be revealed.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty was not as open as it is now, such as system ghosts and ghosts, once discovered, they will be crowned as demons and demons, and then burned at the stake, even if they are not burned at the stake, it will be troublesome.
Although not afraid of trouble, but trouble is trouble after all, a little careless, it involves thousands of troops, and the final result is nothing more than one person slaughtering 10,000 people, although it is powerful, but the stable life is not there.
Li Cheng was too busy in his previous life, and now he wants to live a peaceful life, but he doesn't want to be disturbed by this rare tranquility.
Mother Li has begun to gradually waver: Child, you don't want to be a mother! Besides, your eldest sister has already passed the year of marriage, and now she looks like an old pearl yellow, who else wants it~! ”
Li's mother's worries are not unreasonable, women in the Tang Dynasty were in charge of the family early, and there were many women who became wives at the age of 12, but Li Cheng's eldest sister Wanniang was because she couldn't afford a dowry in her early years, and she was already 17 years old and still waiting for the boudoir.
Over the years, as she got older and older, it became more and more difficult to get married, and Wanniang's mood became more and more depressed.
She is at the most youthful age of a woman, but there is no youth beauty that a woman should have.
"Mother, the eldest sister's business is my business, and I promise that those who want to marry the eldest sister in the future can line up from here to the east entrance of the village.
The most important thing now is that we repair this house first, and it is not too late for the eldest sister to marry in a few years. ”
There are some things that Li Cheng didn't dare to say, if he let Li's mother know that in the future, women who marry before the age of 20 are young, I don't know what they will think.
Li Cheng pointed to the package in his hand and said to Li's mother: "Mother, this silver is more than 100 taels, and there is still a lot left after building a new house, and when the time comes, I will buy some land, and I won't worry about eating and drinking..."
In fact, where there will be silver, Li Cheng's burden is a pile of stones.
Although there is also silver exchange in the system space, 500 emotions are worth one or two silvers, but Li Cheng really did not exchange them, because the cost performance of one or two silver exchanged for 500 emotions is not as cost-effective as exchanging 500 emotions for food.
To put it simply: can you buy chili peppers with silver? Can you buy an old godmother? Can I buy Master Kong?
No, neither!
Although there is no silver, don't forget that there is a Caiyi next to you! Dream Master! Master of Illusion! In this era when there are no immortals and Buddhas, illusion is directly an unsolvable existence.
Suddenly got Li Cheng's transmission, Caiyi also immediately understood what Li Cheng meant, secretly put his hands behind his back, glued his fingers into a seal, and silently recited a mantra.
"Go!"
Caiyi groaned, and made a flower finger from his waist with one hand, pointing at everyone, and the silent illusion enveloped everyone like this.
Seeing this, Li Cheng resolutely opened the burden. Inside is a pile of gold and silver, shining in the sun, dazzling.
"Da Lang, take it quickly!" Mother Li had never seen so much gold and silver, and hurriedly called Li Cheng to put away the burden.
"Okay, mother!"
Li Cheng slowly rewrapped the burden: "Mother, do you believe it now?" ”
I only heard Mother Li's words: "My mother is a cronie, my mother is a cronie."
But son, saving someone's life is what we should do, we shouldn't be greedy for returns, and this gift is too precious, we can't accept it, stay for a while, you better send it back to others! We're not that fate.
Besides, how could Wanniang and I not go to work, wouldn't this disappoint Xiuniang's kindness? ”
Who is Xiu Niang? This Li Cheng really has no impression, and he doesn't have the slightest memory of this person in his mind, but he thinks that it should be Li's mother who met him when she was working in the city, and it is more likely that it is Li's mother's employer.
Li Cheng subconsciously ignored Xiuniang, looked around, and found that Sister Wanniang was also the same as Mother Li, with resoluteness in her eyes.
resolutely asked Li Cheng to return the things to others, even the little girl, except for Caiyi, who was in the know.
"This...?!"
Li Cheng was suddenly a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he would be a little secret, but he made up this lie but ignored the simplicity of the ancients, and he didn't know what to say for a while, it was impossible to tell them that this person was made up by me, right?
This can't be, right?!
