Chapter 15: Boom Away and Come Again
The ancients paid attention to the New Year before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, unless there are some large shops that open on the fifth or sixth day of the first month, and the remaining small traders and small traders generally have to wait until the fifteenth day of the first month.
It's the ninth day of the new year.
In the afternoon, Li Qingyou took out the beans and put them on the kang to pick, the Li family sells tofu, the old couple is gone, she is ready to inherit the mantle and develop the tofu business.
There are two baskets on the kang, the one on the left is the one that picks out the good beans, and the one on the right is the defective product.
Ah Di also came to help, and Li Qingyou taught him how to pick beans by hand, "It should be round, shiny, big and full, just like this." These insects, and deflated, were put over there and kept to feed the livestock. ”
There is no technical difficulty in this job, and my brother learned it at just a glance, and his little white hands picked and chosen, fast and neat.
It's just that Li Qingyou is a little absent-minded.
"Sister, you threw it wrong again." Brother picked up the good beans that were thrown in the basket on the right, and Sister Qingyou has made mistakes several times today.
Li Qingyou came back to his senses, pulled the corners of his mouth, and glanced out again, although he couldn't see anything through the window paper.
She knew in her heart that the affairs of the Li family were not over, and sooner or later they would come, and she had also thought of countermeasures, but the key people did not appear for a long time, and everything was empty talk.
I didn't expect this person to be so unreliable.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Ah Di's crisp voice sounded again, and it also drew Li Qingyou's attention back, looking at him cautiously and with flattering eyes, there was something unpleasant in his heart.
In the past few days, Ah Di has been rushing to help her work, although most of them are getting more and more helping, but she can feel that he is trying hard to please her.
She understands this kind of feeling under the fence.
It is precisely because I understand that I feel more distressed.
"Brother," Li Qingyou held Brother Brother's face with both hands, his forehead against his, and stared at his big glass bead-like eyes seriously, "At home, we two sisters depend on each other, this is not only my home, but also yours, understand?" ”
So there's no need to be careful, just be yourself.
Ah Di understood, his heart was warm, and at the same time, he asked Li Qingyou again what was on her mind, she usually wouldn't be in such a trance.
"It's okay, it's just distracted, maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Li Qingyou smiled and rubbed his hairy head, and pinched his tender face, it feels really good, but he has lost a little weight, and he needs to make some delicious food to make him fatter.
A hint of loneliness flashed in the eyes of Ah Di, Sister Qingyou had something on her mind, and she didn't want to tell him.
Li Qingyou didn't notice that he was wrong, her attention was all attracted by the outside, the yard was noisy, at first she thought it was the unreliable guy who came, and when she went out, she saw that it was someone from the Li family again.
And this time it wasn't one or two, but five or six men and women.
Rao is Li Qingyou knows that they will definitely not give up, this will not be annoying, these people are like flies, they are bombarded away and come again, and they respond to people.
It's just that this time it's not a small role, it's an uncle in the clan, Li Laohan's cousin, because he ranks sixth, he usually calls him the sixth uncle.
The sixth uncle was followed by two men and two women, one of whom was the daughter-in-law of Li Da Bald, who had been called by the donkey for a long time, and the remaining three were also members of the Li family.
A group of five people came with bad intentions and was aggressive.
Li Qingyou's heart sighed slightly, for this family business, the Li family really spared no effort.
"You're the kid that Qi Ping picked up?" The sixth uncle lifted his eyelids, and the gaze that fell on Li Qingyou was disdainful, and he cleared up the relationship between Li Qingyou and the Li family in one sentence.
Qi Ping, whose full name is Li Qiping, is the name of Old Man Li.
The corners of Li Qingyou's lips hooked slightly, and she didn't hear the wit in his words, and it was impossible for Heng Zhi to deny her identity because of the other party's words or two.
"The sixth uncle came all the way here, is there something wrong?" Li Qingyou asked knowingly.
"Do you know some rules, the elders don't say when they come, please go in and sit, boil some water and make us some tea to moisten our throats." Li Da's bald daughter-in-law relied on her father-in-law by the side, and also followed the fox and the fake tiger.
Uncle Liu frowned slightly, he didn't like this pungent daughter-in-law very much, but he didn't say anything.
"If you have anything to say, just say this, I'm alone at home, it's not very convenient." Li Qingyou won't let them in.
Sixth Uncle's already calm face will be even more gloomy like water, "There are no rules, you two, teach her the rules." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Da's bald daughter-in-law and another woman, and specially brought them here to prevent Li Qingyou from being disobedient.
Li Qingyou stepped back again and again, just hoping that Ah Di could hear the movement and go out from the back window to hide, she didn't copy the kitchen knife like last time, this time the situation was different.
These people are looking for a title deed, so it doesn't matter if they let them in.
"Stop, what do you want to do, I'm going to call someone when you come over again." Li Qingyou shouted loudly, and the crisp and loud voice spread far and wide.
She wanted to recruit more people to watch, even if no one could help her, at least she could form a sense of oppression, so that the people of the Li family would have some scruples.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the door to be full of people.
In this era, people's spiritual life is scarce, and whoever has a big or small affair can spread all over the street, and there is nothing to do in winter, especially these days, the Li family has been singing with the left and right, and many people have called friends to come over to see the excitement.
Li Da's bald daughter-in-law is even more energetic when she sees a lot of people, she was embarrassed in front of so many people before, she will have to make up for it, this little girl, she has to tear her up if she catches her.
However, she was obese and bulky, and the woman who came with her was also big-shouldered and round-waisted, Li Qingyou was slippery like a loach, and she didn't catch her even if she didn't make any effort.
The more angry Li's bald daughter-in-law became, the more she couldn't catch it, the more angry she became, she looked at the two men standing behind the sixth uncle and beckoned them for help.
The two men didn't move, it didn't matter if the women pulled and pulled each other, the two of them went up to bully a little girl again, it was too embarrassing.
Therefore, for a while, the chickens and dogs in the yard jumped, but they couldn't catch people.
The sixth uncle's face was ugly, and he felt like a clown who was a jumping beam for entertainment.
Originally, this kind of trivial matter didn't need him to go out in person, just come to two juniors and do it, who knew that these three times and twice not only didn't do it, but made the house uneasy.
It's infuriating to think about.
Of course, he didn't think that Li Qingyou had much ability, and he didn't come for her, he wanted to see the cousin who kicked his second son to the point where he couldn't get off the kang.
But now that cousin hasn't come out to make such a fuss, isn't he here?
He was not the only one who had this idea, many of the onlookers also saw the kick of the brocade-robed man that day, and were envious of it, which would make some people coax: "Li family girl, call your cousin out, kick them all away." ”
