Li hurriedly ran outside, and when she saw her son standing at the entrance of the village and lost her soul, she snorted, ran over directly, grabbed her son's hand and hurriedly said: "Son, it doesn't matter if you don't do well in the exam this time, we have a next time, my mother can make money this time and can still provide you with the exam, don't worry......"

Li Chen felt very uncomfortable in his heart, "Mother, no...... It's not this, it's something else......"

"What could be more important than an exam!" Li was a little puzzled, "What happened to your child?" Hurry up and tell me, could it be that you are in trouble outside, impossible, how can you be so obedient and cause trouble outside? But what happened? ”

Li Shi was in a hurry, grabbed Li Chen's hand tightly, and asked with concern: "Hurry up and tell me, what happened!" ”

Li Chen gritted his teeth and said word by word: "The county master wants to marry his daughter to me!" ”

Li didn't react at first, but when he reacted, his face was happy and he patted his thigh, "My God, this is a great thing, the daughter of the county master, my good girl, that's the daughter of the official family!" ”

Li Chen looked at his mother overjoyed, her face turned white again, his mother was so happy, it was difficult for him to refuse this family business......

"Mother, I'm ......" Li Chen wanted to tell him that his mother was not so simple, but he found that many people were looking at them, so he said: "Mother, this is not the place to talk, let's go back first, I'll talk to you!" ”

Li was overjoyed, because she only remembered what her son said, that is, the county lord wanted to marry his daughter to his son, my obedient county lord, the real daughter of the official family, his own son, is really promising.

After returning home, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Mother, now I also want to ask his daughter to marry me, this is not a good thing, on the contrary, it is a bad thing, the county master's daughter is five big and three thick, and she is not a good match for me, so you can find a way to help me refuse!" ”

Li's face fell, the county master's daughter was five big and three thick, so she was naturally not worthy of her son, but she was reluctant to refuse this marriage, after all, if her son married the daughter of an official family, it would be more promising.

"Son, can you really only refuse? That's the daughter of the county master, if you marry her, our family will be developed, and you don't have to worry about the cost of going to Beijing to take the exam......" Li Shi said hesitantly: "As for the woman's five big and three thick, in fact, ...... It's nothing, it's blessed, and you can have a son......"

Li Chen pulled his face, "Mother, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I won't agree to this marriage anyway!" ”

Li slapped his thigh, "Forget it, if you don't want to, you don't want to, I'll help you refuse when the time comes, but it's a pity that it's the daughter of the county master, if you marry her......"

Li Chen was really relieved to hear that his mother was willing to refuse this marriage, looked around, and couldn't help asking, "What about my sister-in-law?" Where did she go? And what about Ruyi? ”

Speaking of Liu Jixiang, Li's face was like a flower, and his mouth couldn't close, "Jixiang, I went to the county seat, saying that I was doing something, and I guess I would come back later, as for Ruyi, I am studying in the school now!" ”

Li Chen frowned slightly, "Mother, you ...... What's wrong with you? ”

Li said with a smile: "Son, you don't know how good your sister-in-law is, after setting up a small workshop, she specially asked me to supervise it, and gave me 50 yuan a day, even Jinfeng, ouch, your sister-in-law is really good, I have saved a lot of money during this time, and you have ...... expenses for going to Beijing to catch the exam."

Li Chen's face was full of unconfidence, "This ...... Are you telling the truth? ”

Li nodded, "Of course it's true, by the way, I won't tell you, I still have to go to the small workshop to watch them work, those lazy women, just now said that you came back pale because you didn't do well in the exam, I bah, how smart my son is, this time he will definitely be able to go to high school!" ”

Li Chen was a little in a trance, only feeling that the world was spinning, and the whole world was different, "Mother, I'm ...... I'll go with you......"

Li nodded, and said as he walked: "Son, don't worry, my mother is really rich, even if you don't take the college entrance examination this time, you can still study for a few more years, and when I save enough money, I will send your younger brother to the school......"

Li Chen didn't speak, followed Li Shi together, went to the small workshop, and looked at the busy group of people, he stood there, his figure was tall, and the golden sun shone down, looking extremely dazzling.

"Ouch, our Xiucai Gong is back!" An eldest lady jokingly said: "When you are developed, don't forget our aunts!" ”

Li Shi rolled his eyes at them, "Hmph, I want my son to remind me what you are doing in the Spring and Autumn Festival, and I don't want to see what you have done to our family, I know that I am lazy and slippery all day long, and I will tell my daughter-in-law to reduce your wages a little more!" ”

When the aunts heard this, they said with flattery: "Aunt Li, we are all from the same village, why do you have to worry so much? ”

"That's right, our two families are still relatives, I don't ask you to mention me more, you don't talk about deducting wages all day long, in fact, it's not easy for us, we can earn dozens of dollars a day, just barely hungry!"

"Aunt Li, your son has only come back for a long time, don't stay here, hurry up and go back and cook a delicious meal for your son, look at how thin your son has become!"

When Li heard this, he glanced at his son, then at the small workshop, gritted his teeth and wanted to go back, and he was afraid that these mothers-in-law would be cheating and slippery, so if he didn't go back, he didn't have time to cook a good meal for his son.

"Son, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you lost weight like this, is it very difficult outside, you don't have to be afraid that your mother can make money in the future, 50 yuan a day is enough for your expenses!" Li wiped his tears and said, "You go back to rest first, and when I'm done here, I'll go back and make something to eat for you!" ”

Li Chen didn't want to eat anything delicious, he looked at everything in front of him, and he only felt extremely strange, as if he was living in a dream.

"Mother, I don't understand, how long have I been there? Why do you have such a good relationship with my sister-in-law...... Why did my sister-in-law open a small workshop...... Do you know what she's selling? Li Chen asked with a frown.

Li naturally won't hide it from his son, "My relationship with your sister-in-law is really not very good during your absence from home, but later your sister-in-law invited me to work, and I gave so much money a day, I definitely won't quarrel with her for the sake of money...... As for what your sister-in-law is doing, I only know that she is making bamboo shoots and making a little pickles, and I don't know exactly how to do it, because the last process was made by your sister-in-law, not us......"
