In the evening, Mingyue made a table of first-class food with the ingredients of Luo Ping Restaurant, and arranged everyone to eat together at a large long table.

Everyone seemed to have collective amnesia, and only mentioned all the previous conflicts, and Yin You no longer mentioned the matter of recognizing relatives, concubines, or equal wives, only looking at Mingyue with a pair of eyes, a picture of wanting to say and stopping.

Looking at his appearance, Mingyue knew that Li Ji's plan was very successful, Yin You would not be Yin You again, in this world, there is really only Li Sihai, Hou Ye's son-in-law, Li Ji's husband.

Although she was single-handedly promoted, Mingyue still had a sense of gain and loss. Yin You, even if he has one-third of Cheng Hongluo's persistence and shrewdness, he will not fall into Li Ji's way, and he will not let his family be separated for seven years.

After eating the meal, Li Ji first stopped Mingyue and said in a low voice: "Thank you, thank you for the bacon soup you made for Mingzhu, and thank you for returning your husband to me." ”

Mingyue shook her head slightly, whether this matter was wrong or wrong, she couldn't tell the difference, let alone thank you or not.

Li Ji sighed and said: "Luo Dongjia said that the goods can be delivered tomorrow, the border is urgent, we will leave tomorrow, you father and son can talk." ”

Mingyue looked at Li Sihai, nodded to the other party, then stepped down the stairs, turned around and turned to the stable, and stopped when she saw that there was no one around.

Li Sihai hesitated for a moment, but still followed, and hesitated for a long time: "Mingyue, I remembered that the headdress you wore just now was Ji'er's Jin Busha, did she promise you something, so you helped her?" ”

Mingyue suddenly raised her eyes, unspeakably shocked.

She could imagine that Li Sihai would think of Jin Buyan in hindsight, but she never expected that Li Sihai would suspect that he was bought by Li Ji with money to help Liu and Cheng Hongluo match.

Said not disappointed, it was a lie to herself, Mingyue picked up a handful of grass, put the grass next to the horse's mouth, watched the horse eat the grass one by one, and then said gloomily: "Dad, do you know why I don't like you?" ”

Li Sihai didn't expect Mingyue to be so direct, and listened to Mingyue's words silently.

Mingyue took out the severance document of the old house in her arms and handed it to Li Sihai and said, "You will understand after reading this." When the news of your death came back, the third room was separated by the old house; Last year, for thirty taels of silver, he severed the relationship with Sanfang. Orphans and widows, survival is not easy, several times between life and death, stand up to help us, there are few widows and widows Han Lin, there are enthusiastic and unrestrained catchers Li Chengyue, and there is also a black belly and calculating Cheng Hongluo, but there is no you, this father. In my memory, my impression of my father is just a handful of loess and a few pieces of paper money. ”

Li Sihai lowered his head guiltily, he didn't expect his father and mother to treat his wife and children like this, when he didn't join the army, he had the ability to hunt a hand, a few brothers, he earned the most silver, and handed it over to his mother without leaving a penny, in the most difficult time, Liu also took out the dowry to help the whole family, and did not hesitate to fall out with his mother's family; When recruiting soldiers, he didn't want his father and mother to be embarrassed to choose which son, so he volunteered to join the army, but he didn't expect to be treated like this.

Mingyue continued: "Now that you are back, it can be said that you have returned to your hometown and want to make up for the lost seven years, but you don't dare to offend Li Ji, and you want to make my mother a concubine, but you just think of your eldest son Song'er, so you hesitate." ”

Li Sihai had a kind of embarrassment of being told the central matter, his fingers were stirred together, he really wanted to explain that he really thought about letting them eat well, wear well, and use them well, and he even thought that he couldn't screw Li Ji, so he retreated to the second, demoted the Liu family to a concubine, and continued to stay in Xiangyang Village, so as not to be bullied by Li Ji; And Song'er, who was raised by Li Ji, can be regarded as a sister-in-law, and in the future, she will also be able to take the Tongsheng and Jinshi exams, and enter the court to be an official.

"Dad, you have a weak personality, you can't control Li Ji in the house, and you can't handle Zhenbei Hou outside the house, the final result is to continue to throw our mother in Xiangyang Village, and re-bundle it with the old house, and my mother continues to live the same life with and without a husband. You said that you won't let my mother be wronged anymore, so it's better to let it go. Marrying Cheng Hongluo, although it is to fill the house, my mother is also the mother in charge. If I come back to you, every year, every month, or even every day, I don't want to lose my mother again. As for the question of Song'er changing your surname in your heart, you don't have to, whether you change your surname or not, even if I say it, Cheng Hong will listen to me. ”

Li Sihai couldn't help but be stunned, after seven years of separation, his daughter, who was soft and glutinous and exceptionally clean, became so thoughtful and neat, and said the crux of Li Sihai's heart in a few words.

Cheng Hongluo was born as a scholar, but he is more ruffian than a ruffian, he got Xiuxiu's promise to marry him one step ahead of himself, and his daughter is completely on his side, what is the point of resisting and entanglement?

Mingyue ignored Li Sihai's sadness and continued: "There is one more thing, I need to state that only for your business this time, my share of silver is fifty percent. But the golden step shake of less than 100 taels of silver, I really didn't pay attention to it. You can say what you just suspected, not only underestimating my character, but also underestimating Li Ji's pride. ”

Fifty percent? If you don't remove the cost, you have to have 50,000 taels of silver, and if you remove the cost, Mingyue will score at least a few thousand taels of silver, right? Li Sihai couldn't help but lie and regret what he had just said.

In fact, Li Sihai overestimated the cost, and Mingyue Chun had 20,000 taels of silver left, and because of the salt problem, she even got more than Luo Ping.

Li Sihai couldn't help but be silent, and he didn't say a word for a long time, perhaps, in the past seven years, it has not only blocked understanding, but also family affection.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Sihai escorted dozens of truckloads of pickles out of Chaoyang County, and hurried back to northern Xinjiang, except for the first unpleasant meeting, he never saw the second side of Liu, nor did he propose to see Mingyang and Mingsong, Mingyue knew, he was afraid that he would meet his children, and hesitated again, only to let others help him make these decisions, whether right or wrong.

The pickle incident finally came to an end, and Mingyue had to make the next one non-stop, because two months later, Beijiang needed to pick up the goods for the second time.

After finishing the pickles, the soy sauce was almost done, Mingyue decided to put it in the tank for fermentation, and the land on the mountain was first made a drying field, and now a fermentation field.

All the busy work is completed, and suddenly two months have passed, and it has entered the middle of summer, and the sky is like a fire.

A carriage was parked in front of Mingyue's house, and the coachman snorted and said, "Come out to pick up the ice!! ”

Mingyang and Song'er, who were as naughty as monkeys, ran to the door, climbed onto the wheel with all fours, hugged each other, and moved a piece of ice to the house, put it on the table, still reluctant to let go of the ice, greedily feeling the coolness of the ice.

Mingyue glanced at the two mud monkeys in disgust, and said angrily: "Let go of your dirty hands and let me come!" ”

The two babies laughed and put down the ice cubes, and sure enough, the outer layer of the ice cubes melted slightly, leaving behind the black handprints of Gao Er and Ming Song. The two of them slipped away like loaches, ran a few steps, and covered their ears with their fingers, and the shrill cry of the bright moon sounded in the room: "Go and wash your hands!" If you don't wash it, you can't eat a smoothie!! ”

The two boys looked at each other and smiled, obediently went to wash their hands, washed their hands, and continued to help carry ice cubes.

Looking at the horse's energetic appearance, Mingyue looked enviously at Li Er, the coachman of Zhenwei Fang, and said: "Second Brother Li, let me inquire about something, my family used to be a farmer, and I was not allowed to raise horses; My mother will marry Cheng County in a few days, and the size is also considered an 'official dependent', can she raise a carriage? ”

Li Er grinned and said, "What do you do with the money you pay for the carriage?" Wouldn't it be nice to let the county order send the carriage from the county government over? ”

Mingyue shook her head and said, "Godfather is now going to the villages in the county to check the moisture, it's too hard to ride a horse." Later, the family population increased, and there was not enough horse-drawn carriage. ”

Li Er smiled: "Okay, I'll help you find one when you go back, but it has to be filed in the name of Cheng County Order." ”

Mingyue nodded, took out a hundred taels of silver from her arms and handed it to Li Erdao: "Thank you for your hard work." I didn't buy a carriage, I don't know how much money I have, and I don't have enough money for you to come back to me. ”

Li Er said with a smile: "Enough is enough, the carriage is not as expensive as imagined, but it is restricted from being used by the poor, not by people without status, and it has to be used finely, and every horse has a record." ”

This miserable society is just buying a carriage, and it is as laborious as buying a spaceship. Fortunately, I can finally have a carriage to sit in, and I spent my own money, but I borrowed the light of Cheng Hongluo, and I had to file it in someone's name, which was really --- aggrieved.

After sending Li Er away, Mingyue thought about going to the garden to pick some vegetables and eat a bowl of cold vegetables in the town at night.

Walking into the garden, I saw Song Jiaojiao holding the fence wall, chatting with a woman outside, only said a few words, and the woman hurried away with an excited expression.

The woman Mingyue has seen it, with the same surname as the Liu family, and she has nothing to do in the village, and she is used to pulling his wife's tongue and gossiping, which is very unpopular.

After only a few words with Aunt Liu, Song Jiaojiao's face was already pale, and there was no blood.

Mingyue worriedly supported the crumbling Song Jiaojiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, what's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing." Song Jiaojiao's face was flustered.

Mingyue said unhappily: "If you don't say it, I'll ask Aunt Liu directly, Aunt Liu's mouth is a horn without a door, hate the world and not mess up, don't believe it, let alone go to your heart." ”

Song Jiaojiao's eyes were red, but she grabbed Mingyue's hand and said, "Mingyue, save your uncle!" He was wronged. ”

"My uncle?" Mingyue was obviously stunned, she hadn't heard of this title for a long time, it looked like it was a long time ago. Among the people in the old house, Yin Cai can be regarded as the most caring for the third room, although there are some estrangements and misunderstandings in the follow-up, but it can't erase his credit, at least, when the Liu family was kicked out of the old house with orphans and widows, the mud house was built by Yin Cai to find someone to help build it.

Mingyue patted the back of Song Jiaojiao's hand comfortingly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, my uncle is good to my family, I will definitely help him if I can help, what the hell is going on?" ”

Song Jiaojiao relayed Aunt Liu's words again.
