Chapter 9: The Twelfth Uncle Li Minggui
Li Guo'er returned to the first room of the west wing where their three rooms were located, the eighth sister Li Zi'er and the ninth sister Li Qing'er were playing on the bed with their little brother Li Dan, looking at the little brother Li Dan who was not very good at climbing, Li Guo'er was also happy in her heart.
In her previous life, she had no children of her own at the age of thirty-four, and every time she saw a child, she was overflowing with motherhood and couldn't move, and now the little brother Li Dan in front of her, although she was a little smaller, was very cute, with big eyes and dark eyes.
In the evening, it was still Zhou and Li Fang'er who came back to make dinner, and the others did not set foot in the house until it was dark
Li Minggui came back from the town in time, only a quarter of an hour earlier than the Li family who worked in the field, and after coming back, he said hello to Zhou's mother and daughter and went into his room.
It is said that Li Minggui went out early in the morning, and the Wanping Academy where he was located was closed due to the busy agricultural holiday, so he had to spend dozens of dollars to drink tea in a teahouse for a day, and lunch was barely enough.
If he didn't want to work in the fields, he wouldn't want to stay in the teahouse on a hot day and endure the heat rising from the soles of his feet?
When I returned home, thinking that I was already eighteen years old, but I hadn't even decided on a decent family matter, I became more and more irritable, and went into my room, lay on the bed, and looked at the roof in a daze.
The sky darkened, mosquitoes and others began to buzz and shout, the more Li Minggui thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, although his father and mother were better to him than the eleven brothers above, but he was born in a peasant family, and he was destined not to be compared with the sons and daughters of those big families.
For example, now, on a hot day, mosquito bites can only be endured, where is there a potion to repel mosquitoes like a large family......
No, I still have to stay at home for three or four days, and the academy will end the busy farm vacation, so I must ask for more money from my mother tomorrow and buy a little potion to repel mosquitoes, otherwise I really can't live this day!
After making up his mind, Li Minggui put forward his request when the family had dinner in the evening, and Li An and Zhou really thought that the old son was going to discuss his studies with his classmates, so they agreed without thinking about it.
Li Mingli and the others didn't say anything, but among the few grandchildren, they had already married wives and had children, and they were very uncomfortable about this.
Among them, Li Xuan, the grandson of the Li family and the twenty-four-year-old eldest son of Dafang, was very unwilling and opened his mouth to stop him, but was interrupted by his sibling brother Li Rui, the second son of Dafang, who was one year younger than him.
Li Xuan, the eldest son of the Li family, and Li Rui, the second son, are different from their father Li Mingde's honesty, because they were born to the Wang family, so the two are somewhat shrewd, and the second son Li Rui is the most shrewd......
Fighting tiger brothers, going into battle with father and son, Li Xuan and Li Rui have always hated the same enemy, and under Li Rui's shaking his head, Li Xuan also swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
The third son of the eldest house, eighteen-year-old Li Wen, saw that the first two brothers were silent, and he inherited his father Li Mingde's honesty, so he kept silent......
"Uncle, there is really such a good thing, then Uncle might as well bring one back to our fourth room......" The four fathers and sons of the long room were silent, lowered their heads to eat, and the eldest son of the fourth room, Li Hai, who was twenty years old, smiled at Li Minggui, the little uncle.
Compared with the honesty or shrewdness of the four fathers and sons of the big house, Li Hai, the eldest son of the fourth room, is a living smiling tiger, smiling at everyone on his face, but he has done a lot of stabbing knives behind his back.
Sifang Li Hai was not like this before, although he was also a smiling tiger in the past, but he would not stab a knife in the back, since Li Hai married the maiden niece of the Dafang Wang family two years ago, the whole person has changed......
"Eat silently, sleep silently!" Li An calmed his face, put down the rice bowl in his hand, and then said this in a crepe manner.
Li An only knew a few words simply, and this sentence was still heard from the mouth of his old son, and he didn't feel funny when he said this sentence at this moment.
The Li family is not a big family, a large family lives together, bumps and bumps are inevitable, and in addition, they have to work in the field during the day, isn't there only time to eat and chat?
As soon as Li An's words came out, everyone shut up in disdain, and everyone was still a little afraid of this patriarch's words.
Li Feng, the eldest son of the second room, had a blatant mocking smile on his face, and he had undisguised disdain for the cousin of Li Hai in the fourth room.
Li Feng is two years older than Li Hai, because Li Hai once stabbed him in the back, and the two had a big fight, although they lived in the same courtyard from then on, they were like enemies, if it weren't for the elders in the family to stop them, you would have died a long time ago!
Li Feng's undisguised disdain at this moment fell in the eyes of Li Hai in the fourth room, full of anger, and the green tendons on his head burst out, if it weren't for the younger brother next to him, the nineteen-year-old Li Bo in the fourth room, I am afraid that he would have fought a lot.
For the interaction between several grandchildren, Ang Li turned a blind eye, as long as he didn't make trouble, he always didn't care, anyway, no matter how much trouble he made, it was not a family, and he couldn't write two Li characters in one stroke......
Compared with the main hall, the ladies who eat in the kitchen are also the same chickens and dogs, noisy and noisy.
Li Guoer didn't go to the kitchen, she is still "injured" now, the kitchen is full of people, and it is inevitable that flaws will be exposed inadvertently, and the time will fall.
In addition, Li Guoer knows what the Li family eats for dinner, breakfast and lunch are mixed noodles and steamed buns, that is to be able to have enough physical strength to work in the field, and there is no need for dinner, so dinner is a gruel with a prescribed amount, and there is not a drop of rice in it.
The man's side is still thicker, while the woman's side is a clear soup with little water, saying that it is gruel, but it can reflect the human figure......
The Li family's food, Li Guoer is also helpless, for the Zhou family's door, is also extremely admired, but the family lives such a day, but the outside is full of face, everyone has four sets of new clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter every year.
Other farmers in Xiahe Village, whenever they talk about this, are all envious of the Li family's "comfortable" life, and the suffering is only known to the Li family.
According to Zhou's statement, going out represents the face of the Li family and the face of her old son, and how the family lives after closing the door is another matter......
Zhou said that everything was for the sake of her old son, and everyone in the Li family could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs because of Li Minggui's identity as a child, and there were words of suffering.
In the final analysis, it is not that everyone in the Li family always has illusions about Li Minggui, thinking that Li Minggui will be able to show off his talents in high school in the future, raise people in high school, and even be the champion, and then everything will be bitter and sweet......
