This made Li Laosi very happy, and Li Laosi couldn't wait to let everyone in the world know that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child. As soon as I went out, I met Zhuangzi's people, and they said that my daughter-in-law was pregnant.

The Li family finally has a queen, and the happiest person should be the woman. She was always worried about not being able to give Li Laosi children, but the woman couldn't be happy.

When the woman saw Li Laosi dancing with her hands, she just wanted to say something before she suffocated it again.

Li Laosi also slaughtered an old hen that laid eggs that night, saying that it was to mend the woman's body.

At this time, the winter is coming, and every season the men in Zhuangzi will go to the big families in the town to work.

Towards evening, Li Laosi did not go to the town to work today, and has been accompanying the woman at home.

The woman saw that Li Laosi was not as excited as when she first heard the news of her pregnancy, so she said.

"Go and close the door, I have something to say to you. ”

Li Laosi got up and closed the door, and Li Laosi was always so obedient to his daughter-in-law's words.

The woman waited for the door to close for a long time, and then said with a dodgy look in her eyes.

"Xiaofeng will be back in a while, I'll discuss something with you. ”

"Now that I'm pregnant, waiting for the baby to be born is another expense. The harvest in the field is not as good as the year, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it is the time to grow our bodies, and it is okay for both of us to eat less. But when the child in the womb is born, there is another mouth, and the silver taels at home are only enough for Xiaofeng to study in the academy, and he can't make new clothes for the child during the Chinese New Year this year. Now this child is the same every year, and now he is still wearing this clothes, for fear that he will be laughed at by the children in the academy. This kid is also sensible, and if he doesn't say anything, it's hidden in his heart, but if he doesn't say it, we must also understand that we can't really act as if nothing happened, how can you say this is good......"

When Li Laosi heard his wife's words, he fell into deep thought, and soon patted his chest and said.

"It's a big deal, I do a few more jobs, no matter how hard I work, I can't suffer the child, I'm not afraid of hardship. ”

"Hey......"

Li Laosi saw that the woman was there, sighed, and after a long silence, he got up and walked to the woman, and said seriously.

"I'm not afraid of suffering, but you're going to have a hard time with me. You were originally a young lady from a big family, and you should be as rich and well-fed as those eldest ladies in the town, and you have never complained since you have lived a good life with me. Weaving cloth and cooking for me every day, I don't know what virtues I have accumulated in my last life, and I can marry a beautiful and virtuous wife like you in this life......."

Without waiting for Li Laosi to finish speaking, the woman gently hugged Li Laosi and said.

"Fool...... Fool ......"

The woman's eyes were slightly red, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

At this time, the little boy who returned from the academy and was outside the door listened to it word for word.

The little boy dismissed the class early because Mr. had something to do today. Not far from the door of the house, he saw Li Laosi close the door, so he walked to the door and listened softly to the conversation inside. After this year, the little boy has already regarded Li Laosi and the woman as his parents. Li Laosi and the woman also loved him as their own son, which made the little boy who had never been cared for by his parents feel deeply warm.

But now that I heard this conversation, I didn't feel good in my heart, and the little boy may have been calm because he had experienced something far beyond that of people of his age, but he didn't know what to do at this time.

The little boy told Li Laosi and the woman that night that he didn't want to study, and he also wanted to go to the town to work like Li Laosi to subsidize the family, but Li Laosi and the woman strongly opposed, and he couldn't sleep for a long time that night.

"Did you say that Xiaofeng, this kid, heard something, why did he say he didn't want to study tonight, this kid is also sensible and knows our difficulties. ”

"I don't know, I just know that it's enough for me to work in this family, and it's not a little hairy child's turn. ”

"Look at your bear-like look, but I like it. ”

"Hee-hee-hee......"

The boy was taught in the academy for another ten months and became familiar with all kinds of books. Because I can't forget it, I quickly read all the books in the academy. Because he cherishes his current life, he is extremely hardworking.

Whenever the gentleman in the academy praised him in front of Li Laosi, this was his happiest moment. This joy will continue to the Zhuangzi, and then the Zhuangzi will praise his wisdom, and the woman will nod his forehead and say that he is a little clever ghost.

Until the birth of the child breaks all this peace, all reason and humanity cannot resist the family affection that blood is thicker than water.

Li Laosi and the woman looked at the crying baby in their arms, smiling all day long. I bought cloth to make beautiful clothes for the children, and bought a cradle...... All this was supposed to pay for the schooling of the little boy they had prepared before the child was born.

Until the day before the start of school, Li Laosi lowered his head and said to the little boy.

"Son, there is no money left in the family...... Your schooling ....."

"I just don't want to study anymore, so tomorrow I'll go to work in the town and buy good food for my brother. Before Li Laosi finished speaking, the little boy said happily to Li Laosi, at this time, the little boy was only seven years old.

There is still a trace of inexplicable sadness in his heart, because he likes to read books very much, and the world depicted in books is beyond his reach. But he didn't have a trace of dissatisfaction with Li Laosi and the woman in his heart, and a trace of hatred for the newborn baby, only a trace of regret that he couldn't continue to study.

"Hey, it's useless for me to suffer you, the young master of the old man's family in the town lacks a scholar. I heard that you were clever and clever, so I found me and wanted to call you over. Your Aunt Li also said that it is good, and she can still listen to her teachings. Li Laosi looked at such a sensible little boy and sighed and said.

The little boy went to be a scholar, but the young master of the Wang family was spoiled since he was a child. It's either shouting at the little boy, or punching and kicking. He hated this child who had been pestering him to make him study, and even went so far as to let his subordinates tie the little boy to a tree and whip him, just because he felt that it was very relieving to beat a scholar.

The little boy didn't feel bitter at all, and when he returned home, he pulled his clothes and tried his best to cover those wounds, he didn't want Li Laosi and the woman to worry about him.

Therefore, the young master of the Wang family was even more unscrupulous, he begged his father to buy the little boy, and the only son in the Wang family's family responded to his request, and he agreed to buy a subordinate who would die for ten taels of silver. went to call down and found Li Laosi, Li Laosi immediately refused without thinking about what the old man of the Wang family said, only to see the old man Wang said with a smile.

"Don't be too busy answering me first, I'm also familiar with Ning Xihou. If you dare to leave, there is also this kind of friendship with the family in his Zhuangzi, you go back and think about it and give me an answer tomorrow. ”

Li Laosi walked home with a pale face, and he didn't pay attention to the greetings in Zhuangzi along the way.

"What's wrong with a straight face, who messed with you. Li Laosi returned home, and the woman asked when she saw Li Laosi's appearance.

"That old man Wang is not a thing, he wants to buy Xiaofeng as a slave in the past, if he doesn't buy it, he will drive our family out of Zhuangzi, it's a big deal, we won't stay in this place, where can we go with hands and feet to make a living. Li Laosi slapped the table and said angrily.

Why is this happening...... Where can we go...... Where can a child who has just come out withstand such a toss...... How good is that......" said the woman in a panic.

Li Laosi repeated the words of the old man of the Wang family to the woman, and the woman had no idea for a while.

At this time, in the Wang family's mansion, the little boy was tied to a tree by the young master and whipped the little boy's thin body.

"Boy, I've begged my father to buy you, and I can play with you as much as I want. I only heard the young master of the Wang family say viciously.

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Hahahaha...... "Just followed by a burst of laughter.

"Impossible...... No way...... It is absolutely impossible to ......," cried out the little boy as he listened to the voice, and forced himself to endure the pain.

"There's nothing that money can't solve, kid, there's a fart for reading, you will accompany Young Master Ben to 'study hard' in the future." If you're more obedient, maybe I'll be able to treat you better. The young master of the Wang family said with a hideous face, and laughed out loud after speaking.

"No...... No......"

Towards the end of the evening, the little boy returned home as usual, and saw that the table was more abundant than usual. Feeling more enthusiastic than usual, Li Laosi and the woman, the little boy's head seemed to explode, and the whole person seemed to be hollowed out in an instant, and Li Laosi and the woman didn't listen to what he said.

At night, he walked on the bed and couldn't stop crying, the little boy missed his grandmother.
