Seeing Li Sanjin so "bold", Chen said with some concern: "Daughter, my mother knows that you want to subsidize us. It's just, you do this, does my uncle know? ”

It means that if Chen Jitang didn't know, he would be angry if he found out.

"Mother, look at what you said, Jitang is not such a person. When I came back that day, he bought all those things, and I didn't say anything. Besides, he also asked me to come here today. ”

"That's good, that's good. Hello, my mother is happy. It's just that you have to save some money on this money. But I remember that you had a total of ten taels of silver, and if you had a child, it would not be enough. ”

Chen naturally knew that Chen Jitang's salary for next year had been advanced in advance.

"Hey, it's all my fault, I forgot to say it. I've been working as a cook lately, and I've made seven or eight taels of silver during that time. Otherwise, where do you think I got the money? ”

Hearing this, Chen was shocked. During this time, Li Sanjin actually earned so much. It's hard to think about it in the past. It's just that it is said that it is difficult to get into the village kitchen.

Li Sanjin has just gotten married, how can others be willing?

"Mother, I'm just helping temporarily, because someone is sick. When the other people are okay, I'll have to quit. However, they have said that I will be given priority. ”

As he spoke, he gave his two sisters 500 yuan of pocket money.

After taking the silver, Li Lao Er and Li Lao San instantly turned red. Growing up so big, this is the first time they have private money.

Seeing off Chen and his two younger sisters, Li Sanjin went home with the seeds of ginger, onions and garlic. Ginger is not suitable for growing now, but green onions and garlic are OK.

Just do it. The two quickly turned over the ground, sprinkled the seeds of the green onion, planted the garlic, and watered it.

After this is done, it will be time for the New Year.

To say that Chenjiacun has divided the silver this year, so every household is very festive, and it can be said that it can finally have a fat year with fish, meat, chickens and ducks. The children are wearing new clothes and getting more money than ever before.

The adults were red-faced, and when they met, they blessed each other.

As soon as the Spring Festival is over, the weather is no longer so cold.

There were still some stone slabs left before the paving road, although most of them were incomplete, and even only 20 centimeters in size, but the villagers did not dislike it, and spontaneously picked them up and paved them on the field path that they had to pass through.

Not to mention, although they are all leftovers, but with such a pave, the road is much easier. Whether it's walking with one hand or carrying something, it's a lot smoother. Seeing this, Ye Feng had to sigh that the wisdom of the masses was really infinite.

These leftovers were originally useful to him, but now it seems that he can only plan and buy them later. He can't stop this kind of enthusiasm for spontaneous home building.

Another month passed, and at the beginning of March, everything was revived and spring was bright.

Seeing that the sun was good, Chen Jixing said: "This sun is really good, let's turn out last year's corn and dry it." ”

Due to the large harvest last year, the yard at home was not enough to dry, so Chen Jixing took a cloth bag to pack the corn and put it on the chicken cart to dry. When everyone looked at this artifact, they were simply envious.

Now that the road has been repaired, it is not at all difficult for this chicken cart to push. Basically, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child can easily push one or two hundred pounds of things.

It's a pity that there is no finished product to sell this thing, and the few cars in the village are all made by private individuals, and it is difficult to mass produce them, so they have to give up.

As soon as the work was done, the village chief called a meeting with everyone, all about how to maintain the rhododendron forest and repair the house by the lake.

In the eyes of the villagers, maintaining the rhododendron forest is a trivial matter, as long as everyone does not dig or destroy, as for pruning or anything, they don't understand, the village chief also means this, this task is directly handed over to Ye Feng, Chen Wumei, and Qianyu.

As for repairing a house by the lake, everyone agreed that no one had the ability. Because Ye Feng and the village chief asked for a style and a pattern, this was not something they could accomplish.

After discussion, the village hired experienced workers to build the building. However, priority is given to employing craftsmen from Chenjia Village in the basic part.

Silver is ready-made, therefore, when I heard that Chenjia Village was going to build a house, there were many craftsmen who applied for the job for a while, and Chen Jifa tested them one by one, and then decided to come.

In fact, it is said that the house is being repaired by the lake, but in fact, it is still a certain distance. It just so happens that there is a lot of wasteland in that area, and it is slightly above the lake.

To say that the big lake of Chenjia Village has never overflowed since the establishment of Chenjia Village, even during heavy rains. However, for the sake of safety, the craftsmen did not raise the entire terrain of the housing area, but dug a ditch between the housing area and the large lake, and at the end of the ditch was the field and the small river.

Chenjiacun is vigorously engaged in construction here, but Ye Feng has encountered problems here. Although the rhododendron forest in Chenjia Village is not big, it is also two or three acres wide, and it is in the forest, and it is about two or three miles away from the ancestral hall.

Ye Feng originally wanted the village to spend some more money to buy slates, and pave the entire forest with slates, so that tourists could come and leave.

However, the budget is quite large, and the distance is long and requires a lot of labor. After thinking about it, I felt that it was quite difficult, so I had to give up. It's just that Chen Wumei and Qianyu cut down the dead trees inside, applied some fertilizer, and dug up the weeds and trees.

Although there are no stone slabs, it looks more refreshing.

The suburbs of Beijing, Yinping's house.

After finding Yin Ping, the Yin family was indeed lively for a while, and even the relationship between Kang and Yin Liren was a little more harmonious. It's just a pity that the couple doesn't have any idea of making love.

Especially the Kang family, seeing a few flower-like concubines in the family surrounding Yin Liren to be courteous, she was a little stronger, and her mother-in-law Hu was a little unhappy.

As for Yin Liren, in Kang's opinion, he enjoyed these flatteries very much, at least he didn't refuse.

came and went, making Kang's seem like an outsider.

But think about it, for so many years, she has been wandering, running from city to city, just to find Yinping. In those years, all she could think about in her heart was Yin Ping.

Thinking about it, Yin Liren only thought about it, and there was only the flower concubine who flattered him.

She and Yin Liren also have feelings, and once, in order not to accept concubines, Yin Liren also tried her best. However, no matter how deep the relationship is, it can't withstand the two of them like this, and in the end, there is nothing left.

However, these concubines have given birth to many daughters, but they do not have a son, no matter how favored they are, as long as they dare to stretch out their hands to Yinping, the end is bound to be miserable. And without her hands at all, the Hu family will be the first to jump out and make the other party pay a heavy price.

Thinking about it this way, Kang's calmed down a lot.

She also had the luxury of hoping to be white-headed, but since Yinping was abducted by Hanako, she finally understood that she was the only one who could accompany her in this life.

Thinking about it, Kang thought of the wish he had made outside in those years.

It's okay in other places, it's just to go by to make a vow, but in the Big Buddha Temple, Kang once took three steps and kowtowed, and made a sincere promise to Guanyin Bodhisattva that if he could find a son in his lifetime, he would be willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of his life, and do a hundred good deeds near the Big Buddha Temple.

People in this time and space generally believe in Buddhism, especially those like Kang who have made a wish and proudly fulfilled it, must fulfill their promises.

Otherwise, the bodhisattva will be to blame.

After thinking about it, taking advantage of the family banquet on this day, Kang's saw that everyone was there, so he planned to talk to everyone, which could be regarded as a formal farewell.

Although she comes and goes freely now, and no one will stop her, but in the end, her son is still living here, and the mother can't let him be confused and embarrassed. After all, she and Yin Liren have not yet reconciled, and they have always been nominally husband and wife.

This meal has Yinping's favorite boiled pork. Originally, the farmer was poor, there was no seasoning, and he wanted to eat a lot of meat, so he boiled the person directly in water, cut it into large pieces, and ate it with soy sauce.

The reason why Yin Ping likes this dish is only because he was hungry for meat when he first returned home, but the dishes of the Yin family are too fine to meet Yin Ping's needs at all, so he himself proposed to eat it like this.

As long as Yin Ping loves to eat, Hu Shi will naturally make it for him. But the Yin family is rich and rich, so it is naturally impossible to boil it in white water. So, Hu Shi found someone to prepare a bunch of medicinal herbs and supplements, first boiled into a thick soup, and then threw the white meat into it to cook.

The white meat cooked in this way is not only delicious, but also extremely nutritious.

Looking at the sweetness of Yin Ping's food, and his body was a lot thicker, Hu felt refreshed in his heart. Since Yin Ping was found and brought home by Kang's, Hu has unloaded the biggest burden in his life, and with Yin Ping and her harmonious relationship, Hu's physical condition has also improved a lot.

Kang visually measured that if no disaster happened, Hu would have no problem living for another twenty years. That's okay, this family has the Hu family, and no one is indispensable to Yin Ping.

And Yinping's identity as the heir has long been recognized by the clan, so don't worry.

After the meal, everyone took care of the place and began to drink tea and chat with their own hearts. Yin Liren originally wanted to leave, because he could see that the Kang family didn't like a few concubines to revolve around him.

But what can he do? Everyone has entered the door, and the child has been born, so you can't kick them out. Even if it's rushing, there has to be a reason.

He and Kang's were once affectionate, so naturally they didn't want to make a fuss. So, he just wanted to hide.

Who knows, he can't hide today.

I only heard Kang's stop and said, "Don't leave yet." Today, while everyone is here, I have something to say. ”

Come on, now it's all called "you", and it's no longer the "Xianggong" full of sweetness as before. He and Kang's can't go back in the end.

Yin Liren sometimes feels wronged, and it is good to say that he is good to Kang's. No matter how willful she is, he respects her in the end and keeps her as his wife. But Kang's has always been based on his temperament, and for so many years, he has long become a joke in this area.

However, he was curious about what Kang was going to say so solemnly today. Let's just leave it and hear what she has to say before making a decision.

Hu is naturally indispensable.

Speaking of which, the "grievances and grievances" between her and Kang's are indescribable in this life. If it weren't for Yin Ping, it would have been scattered a long time ago.

However, it is also because of Yin Ping that now she and Kang's rely on each other and tolerate each other. There is only one purpose, that is, to let Yin Ping grow up healthy and happy, marry a wife and have children, and continue the incense of the Yin family.

Several concubines were also shocked in their hearts, could it be that this Kang family couldn't sit still and wanted to reconcile with their husbands? Suddenly, several people looked at each other in surprise, as if they wanted to see something in each other's eyes.

Mostly happy.

If the Kang family really separated from Yin Liren, wouldn't the position of the wife be vacant. According to Yin Liren's practice, it is natural to help one of them to come up and sit upright, rather than marrying outside.

For a time, everyone present had their own thoughts. Aunt Bai deliberately lowered her head, not wanting to be in the limelight. Needless to say, she also understands it in her heart. At the moment, she herself is the bull's-eye.

It's okay to be discordant, if it's really reconciled, her good days will come to an end. When you are a concubine, you can make a fuss when you are not satisfied, you want this, you want that. However, if you really sit in that position, you must be dignified every day.

I didn't expect that I had so many positions in my heart, and in the end. Whether there is a chance or not, I don't want it. In this life, there are indeed many unknown things.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Kang stood up and said slowly: "Over the years, every time I go to a county or a town, I will go to ask for a hexagram and make a wish in front of the Bodhisattva. In total, there are no less than 100 temples I have visited, that is, no less than 100 wishes I have made. Now everything is fine at home, with my mother-in-law presiding over the feed, and my sisters helping me, I haven't done anything......"

When a few people heard it, although they hadn't finished speaking, Kang's words couldn't be more obvious. Aunt Bai couldn't help it. was about to speak, but was glared at by Hu, and hurriedly lowered it again.

"Seeing that Yinping's child is getting bigger and bigger, I think it's time to go and make a wish. I came to a heartfelt matter, and at the same time, I continued to ask the Bodhisattva to bless everyone, bless Yin Ping's child to grow up healthily, marry a wife and have children, and continue the incense of the Yin family. So, I thought I'd leave in a few days. ”

"Yes, if you don't pay it back, you can't make a wish......"

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Yin Liren suddenly interrupted and asked. In his opinion, although it is not the same as living like this, it is peaceful.

Isn't it good to go on like this?

Respecting each other like guests and raising eyebrows is also a way to grow old together.

To this, Kang replied calmly: "I had a dream yesterday. In the dream, the Bodhisattva asked me, do you remember what you promised? I woke up scared, and I didn't feel sleepy. I want to come to the Bodhisattva to dream, so as to remind me that it is time to make a vow. With the blessing of the Bodhisattva, I found a child, so naturally I wanted to repay my vows. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, if I don't go, the Bodhisattva will blame it, and it's not good for Yinping's child. If that's the case, it's my sin as a mother. ”

As soon as Kang's words were finished, it was like throwing a boulder on the surface of a calm lake, which aroused the speculation of those present.

But it was obvious that the few concubines were generally happy, and although they tried their best to endure it, the upturned corners of their mouths still betrayed the excitement in their hearts. Yin Liren was naturally unhappy, and as for the Hu family, she kept her eyes closed, and she couldn't guess what she was thinking for a while.

After half a ring, Hu Shi opened his eyes and said, "That's it, if you want to go, you can go, everything in the family has me, you can rest assured." You're right, making a wish but not returning it is a taboo. ”

Then, the conversation changed sharply and said fiercely: "To say that we have a lot of family, but it is the simplest. A few girls are not small, it's time to say kiss. I, as a grandmother, will naturally not be partial, and I will inevitably find a good family for them, and I will never be stingy with what I should give. It's just that you shouldn't think about it, and you must not stretch out your hand indiscriminately. This home will be handed over to my grandson in the future. If anyone dares to make a name for herself while Madame is not at home, I will be the first to spare her. ”

Several people hurriedly knelt down, claiming that they did not dare.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Kang was in a good mood, so he bowed to Hu and said: "Then everything will be annoying to the mother, the daughter-in-law is not filial, and she will leave in a few days after cleaning up." ”

After saying a few more words, Kang left without looking back, and no matter what Yin Liren thought, he really went back to the house to clean up.

Yin Ping went out to play after dinner, so he naturally didn't know what was happening at home. However, in the evening, Kang called him to his side and instructed him carefully.

Originally, Yin Ping also wanted to go with Kang's, but he knew in his heart what he meant to be in this family, and he had understood it in the past few years, no matter what, it was impossible for him to leave with Kang's.

So he begged Kang to bring some fun and some silver to Ye Feng and Xue Dan.

He always thought that Xue Dan was still staying in the Big Buddha Temple.

Kang naturally agreed.

However, Yin Liren, seeing that Kang's family didn't discuss such a big matter with him in advance, he made his own decisions, and at the same time left with such an unobjectionable excuse, his heart was on fire.

From that night onwards, he rarely began to take turns to go to the houses of the concubines, working hard, thinking that as long as each of the concubines had another one, he would not believe that he would not be able to give birth to a son.

And if even one of these lives has a son, the pattern will be different. When the time comes, he won't believe that Kang's can still sit still, and dare to run out at every turn, and not come back to look at his precious son.

Seeing him like this, Kang just sneered, and even the last trace of emotion in his heart was blown away by the wind, scattered cleanly, as if it had never existed. From now on, she and Yin Liren really have nothing to do with each other.

After a few more days, Kang's family, who had finished packing, left the Yin family again under the reluctant gaze of Yin Ping, and ran to the place he had been before. Yin Liren was even sick, and she didn't even come to send it.

Kang's didn't mind, his heart was dead, where would it hurt? And when he came, one made those concubines jealous, and second, he couldn't say anything.

That's for the best.

In the past, when walking this road, Kang was anxious, excited, and even wanted to die. However, once again walking the same path, this time, Kang's was calm and did not have any waves.

The people who served by her side were no longer the maids they used to be.

This time, Kang's brought two newly bought maids, and she was too lazy to name them, so she directly called Xiao Hui and Xiao Yuan. The two girls were both poor at home, and there were younger brothers and sisters below, so the family sold them for silver.

Thinking of the two girls in the past, Kang said: "You two and I are also fateful, this way south, we need to go to different temples to make vows, what you two need to do is to take care of my living and eating, and the rest is nothing, I don't think it will be very tired." I told you two in advance, when we come back from Qingshan County, I will give you two choices, one is to stay in the Yin family and continue to serve, and when you reach the age, I will find you a suitable match, and the other is that I will give you two a hundred taels of silver each, and you will go home by yourself. Don't rush to reply to me now, anyway, the time of this journey will not be short, enough for you to think clearly. ”

It's like the little red and green of the year.

It's just that they are not Xiaohong, nor are they Xiaocui. And Kang's himself is no longer the original self. She's getting old and tired. Do some good deeds, and maybe you can have some peace of mind.

In this way, the three masters and servants of the Kang family went all the way south.

When they came across the place where they had made a wish in Kang's notebook, the three of them stopped, first settled on a place to live in the city, and then bought the necessary items according to the etiquette and walked to the temple reverently. When he arrived at the temple, Kang must have sincerely repaid his wish according to the wish he had made before.

Because Kang's came too much attention when he came before, and told the locals, especially the presiding monk of the temple, about his story of finding his son, so Kang's came to make a vow this time, and he was recognized by people at once.

When people heard that her son had been found, she came to repay her vows this time, and invisibly took the local temple to fire again. Especially those who need to make a wish, they come to the temple to make a wish.

Kang's is only in his thirties, because he has become older after running around these years, but his temperament is excellent, and his heart is like stopping water, which is faintly in line with the feeling of Buddhism.

In addition, everyone saw that she was a lifelong vegetarian, did not kill, and repaid her vows very sincerely, and it was said that she would go to more than 100 other places, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and she became a hero in people's minds. Especially in the eyes of parents who have lost their children, Kang is like a god-like existence.

Gradually, the story of Kang's spread throughout the country.

Therefore, although Kang's journey is hard, he often encounters parents who have lost their children who come to her to confide. They ask her for experience, and more importantly, they provide her with convenience and guide her.

Local officials also began to provide Kang's with various conveniences, and although Kang's refused one by one, there was no problem with safety.

The Yin family, who was far away in the capital, naturally heard of the name of the Kang family, and the Hu family was fine, anyway, Yinping had such a famous mother, which would be good for Yinping in the future.

As for the concubines, they are not so happy, because in these legends about the Kang family, the Kang family is simply shaped into a very great mother, sacrosanct. If Yin Liren dared to take a break from the Kang family, or reconcile with the Kang family, presumably Yin Liren would be drowned by everyone's saliva.

In this way, Kang traveled all the way south, met many parents of lost children, and took the characteristics and information of those children in his hands, promising that if he happened to meet them, he would try to pass them through local officials.

Because every place Kang went to, if there was a place similar to the Salesian Bureau, she would definitely go. Compare the information in your hand with the children here, and comb through the information here and take it away.

Therefore, Kang's has learned a lot of information about missing babies along the way.

If Ye Feng knew all this, he would definitely be crazy, this was what he had always wanted to do.

However, as Kang's journey south, they will eventually meet, and at that time, they will naturally join forces to help these children who have been abducted since childhood find their homes.
