The days flew by, the 7749-day suspension ended, Mrs. Li was finally buried, and relatives and friends said goodbye. The Li family breathed a sigh of relief up and down, and the bones in their bodies were lighter. The next day, Li Zhuohang and his wife took Li Hanyao and the housekeeper commanded their subordinates to carry burdens and food boxes to Yuezhuang door to door to thank them.

Originally, when they came back, they were going to give gift boxes to the neighbors, in order to show the meaning of harmony with the neighbors, but the old lady was angry that night, and then the funeral was held, disturbing for 7749 days, and the people of Yuezhuang came to help, and they had to thank them.

Li Zhuohang and Jiang Yuzhen are both dressed in white, holding the little Li Hanyao, walking out of Li's house, and walking along the bluestone road on the shore of Moon Lake, like a person in a painting walking out, and like a person walking into a landscape painting. The autumn sun shone obliquely on the surface of the moon lake, shining with golden light. There are women pounding clothes on the bluestone slabs by the lake, and children playing by the lake; There was a "cooing" rooster cry from inside the high wall, and occasionally one or two dogs barked, crying with children and scolding adults, as if thousands of years had passed.

Every time they arrived at the door of a house, they ordered someone to offer a salute, and the host gave up his seat to let the tea, and they apologized that there was filial piety, and it was inconvenient to disturb.

And so, walk through many homes.

When I was young, I came to the door of a house, and a daughter-in-law was going out, and when she saw their eyes, she warmly invited them into the house to sit; A young man and a little boy heard the sound and hurried out of the house, still with a bowl in their hands.

Li Zhuohang saw that it was the daughter-in-law who took the initiative to help on the day his daughter disappeared, and he also called someone "sister-in-law"; Looking at the man who just came out, it turned out to be Li Zhuoran. Coincidentally, Li Hanyao also recognized the boy, who was the cupola who ate chicken legs, called Li Tianhua, and hurriedly pulled Li Zhuohang's sleeve and told him.

Another mother-in-law ran out and saw Li Zhuohang and his wife laughing very crampedly: "The wife of the head of the house went into the house and sit. Pushed Li Tianhua again, "Why don't you call someone?" ”

Li Tianhua looked up and called "uncle", "aunt" and "sister", and said to Li Hanyao as if he was offering a treasure with a bowl: "Sister, give you fragrant snails." My grandmother cooked it. Poke it with this bamboo skewer and eat it. It's delicious! ”

Li Hanyao saw that there were shelled snails in his bowl, which were somehow burned, exuding bursts of aroma, and she had never eaten them.

But can she eat it?

She looked up at her father inquiringly.

Jiang hurriedly said, "You can't eat it." ”

Not to mention that Li Hanyao is keeping filial piety, even if she doesn't keep filial piety, she doesn't dare to give her food. The snail is cold, and if it is not cooked well, it is easy to chew and not rot. How can a child eat this if he has a weak stomach? The family is also too careless.

Li Zhuoran's daughter-in-law Zhen poked her son's finger with a smile, and said angrily: "Sister, what haven't you eaten?" Rare you wild thing. ”

Li Zhuohang heard from his daughter's mouth that this skyrocketing cannon monster was interesting, and now he saw that he was good-eyed, innocent, and not afraid of life, and shouted very smoothly, so he touched his head with a smile and praised: "Not bad." It's a smart one! ”

Li Zhuoran was overjoyed, and Zhen was also smiling.

His wife was so excited that she had nowhere to put her hands and feet.

Li Zhuoran studied in the clan school until he was twelve years old, and then went to the academy in She County for several years. His father and mother originally expected him to participate in the imperial examination and take the official career, but he only passed the county examination and the government examination in the children's examination, and he couldn't cross the final entrance examination, and he couldn't even earn a show of fame, let alone a jinshi.

As the days went by, everyone called him Li Tongsheng.

This study is the most expensive money, and his family was originally quite wealthy, but he was forced to read it. Three years ago, his father died. The family is having a hard time, but he thinks that he is different from these clansmen in Yuezhuang, and he will eventually enter the imperial examination in the future. If it weren't for Li Zhuohang's full stomach, he was afraid that even Li Zhuohang would not look down on him, and he would dislike Li Zhuohang's copper smell.

As for when he will be able to go to high school, he is not worried at all. He thought: Jiang Ziya is still seventy years old and has achieved nothing, once he has his ambition, he will go to Qingyun. Su Qin lobbied the six countries to succeed in joining forces, and returned with glory, and those family members who looked down on him in the past knelt down to greet him. One day, I will be glorified. When these people in Yuezhuang see me, they will also prostrate on the ground. At that time, Li Zhuohang also came to beg me to take care of my business and protect my business.

When I think of the place of pride, I am full of spirit!

However, imagination cannot be eaten as a meal.

Life was difficult, and his wife begged to come to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li asked Li Zhuohang to arrange an errand for him to keep accounts in the shop in Huizhou, and he barely survived.

He was still not happy, and he thought that Shang Jia's copper stench had stained him. But there was no yellow and white brass smell, and he didn't even have the opportunity to go to the academy to study. The longing for copper smell in his heart and the disgust of copper in his mouth made his words and deeds extremely contradictory.

Let's say that in front of me, I saw him teaching his son in a righteous manner: "Uncle praises you, you have to be more motivated, study hard, and follow Uncle to do things in the future." If you can learn the skills of Uncle Yicheng, it will be enough for you to use inexhaustibly for the rest of your life. ”

He said to Li Zhuohang: "Although my brother is dull, this kid is better than me. Now I know a few hundred words, and I have memorized a lot of poems, especially good at arithmetic. He was greedy, so my mother and daughter-in-law let him eat. He's a quick man."

He originally wanted to praise his son's ability to read and write, but it was rumored that Li Zhuohang had excellent qualifications when he was a child, and he didn't dare to show off in front of others, so he emphasized his son's arithmetic ability, wanting to attract Li Zhuohang's attention and attention.

Li Zhuohang asked Li Tianhua: "How many snails have you eaten?" ”

Li Tianhua said casually: "I filled twenty-two, ate twelve, and ten." He said to Li Hanyao again: "Sister, my grandmother cooked two hundred and thirty snails, and filled seventy-four, and the eldest one bowl." There are one hundred and fifty-six more in the pot, which can hold two large bowls. Sister doesn't taste it? It's delicious! ”

Li Hanyao said: "I want to keep filial piety, I can't eat meat." ”

I thought to myself, and went back to the kitchen to make vegetarian snails.

Li Tianhua showed a look of regret on his face.

Li Zhuohang was really surprised. He could see that Li Zhuoran was teasing his son's cleverness, but Li Tianhua had no intention of showing off, and casually reported the number of snails.

He was afraid that the child had calculated it in advance, so he asked, "The eldest uncle also wants to eat." Thirteen for the eldest uncle, how many are left in your pot? ”

Li Tianhua said: "One hundred and forty-three." ”

There was no hesitation or pause.

This kid is gifted!

Li Zhuohang's eyes showed a look of approval.

Li Zhuoran took the opportunity to beg cheekily beside him: "My younger brother is a dull person, and he can teach him limitedly, and he will have to rely on the head of the family to support him in the future." ”

Li Zhuohang nodded and agreed.

He is not stingy with his people.

Li Zhuoran was excited, feeling that his son had entered the eyes of the head of the family, and the head of the family promised to carry it, so he would definitely carry it, and his body was lighter at the moment.

Li Tianhua was still telling his grandmother to tell his grandmother to go to Sheng Tian Snails and give them to his uncle to eat, and he would go to the field to pick them up after eating.

He turned out to be a loyal-hearted man.

Li Zhuohang hurriedly stopped him.

His grandmother said: "The eldest uncle said that he was playing, originally to test your arithmetic." ”

Li Tianhua didn't insist anymore.

After a few polite words, Li Zhuohang's family said goodbye.

When he visited various families, he also told the clansmen who had errands: Tomorrow is the day, and the discussion in the ancestral hall will not only take inventory, but also involve personnel changes.

Everyone was in good spirits and agreed.

Today, in addition to visiting and thanking his neighbors, Li Zhuohang also gave his daughter a task. On the way back, he lowered his head and asked Li Hanyao: "Do you remember everything?" ”

Li Hanyao said in a glutinous voice: "Remember." ”

Daddy asked her to remember all the clansmen she had seen during this time, take advantage of today's visit to review their faces, and wait until tomorrow to go to the ancestral hall, and accurately call out the honorific titles of all the participants.

Li Hanyao felt that this was not difficult.

She has a good memory.

Besides, there are some people that she can't forget.

For example, the eldest uncle Li Zhuoyuan, who pretended to be majestic, hated it, and Li Hanyao couldn't forget it. There is also the third cousin Li Zhuoer, who is good-tempered and honest, and children can be willful, coquettish and messy in front of him, without worrying about being scolded by him, he is always very patient to coax.

and Uncle Li Zhuoran, who I saw just now, is the father of the cupola, and she will never forget the scene of the cupola Li Tianhua eating chicken legs!

Li Hanyao silently went through the clansmen one by one in her heart, smiled very confidently, and happily shook the hand held by her father.

Li Zhuohang looked down at her, and the warmth in his eyes was like the warm sun in the sky.

He turned his face to look at Jiang Yuzhen again, feeling that she was a lot haggard and no longer plump. And because in the period of filial piety, he couldn't smear the fat powder, and this haggard was unobstructed, stripping away the brilliance of wealth and wealth, and showing her hard work as a daughter-in-law, wife, and mother in front of him, which made him feel pity and distress. I couldn't help but advise: "You have a good rest for two days." We'll go again in October. The family affairs were handed over to Zheng's mother. ”

Jiang Yuzhen nodded, she was also tired.
