The Li family is very busy, Li Dalang and Li Erlang are busy with things in the field, and the crops are short of water, so even if they have no choice, they can only go to the river to fetch water to water the ground. The Zhang family and the Jiang family were also able to withstand half of the labor force at this time, and the Li brothers did the work of carrying water, and they covered the matter of watering the ground.

Li Sanlang is still studying in the school. He started school late at the age of seven, and although he was smart, he couldn't do it without a solid foundation. Mr. in the school is very optimistic about him, at the age of twelve, he can already go down to take the children's exam, Li Sanlang also worked harder, thinking that he would come back after at least one show, not to mention exempting him from taxes, and he could also improve the status of the Li family, if her sister wants to say goodbye, it is also a good thing for her.

All the housework at home was on Liu's body, and although Li Houzhong did not leave a hand in gambling that year, he also injured his body, and his waist was kicked a few times by the thugs of the casino, and he couldn't get off the ground. When the farm is busy, I can only watch from the side, these days I see that my sons and daughters-in-law are working hard, and it is not good to be idle, so I let Da Lang cut some bamboo and carry it home to weave some household dustpans, baskets, baskets or something, if there is a surplus, it is also a family entry to sell when rushing to the market.

So after the whole family is calculated, the most idle is Li Xin, who is recuperating.

said that she was recuperating, but in fact, she felt that her body was much better. She didn't want to be an idler, but Liu treated her as a paper paste, didn't want her to go to the ground, detained her to stay at home to rest, and kept her tight with good food and drink, not letting her be busy. The medicine is always fried and warmed to give her to drink, and after drinking the medicine, she will be given a candied fruit.

The Li family usually doesn't have candied fruit, and this is what Li Houzhong bought on a whim when he went to the town to buy ginseng last time. Thinking that he had never been used to eating candy for his only daughter when he was a child, Li Houzhong felt guilty in his heart and bought it to compensate her. In the end, these candied fruits were given to the two little ones in the family by Li Xin, and she never ate them again except for one on the first day when she saw Shanzi's watery eyes.

Shanzi and Xiaodou were well educated by their eldest brother and sister-in-law, and they would not cry because they didn't eat anything good at a young age. Li Xin gave them the candied fruit to eat, Shanzi always shyly took this sweet dried fruit, lowered his little head slightly, and said to her embarrassedly "thank you", Xiaodou would always look at his brother's performance and draw a gourd in the same way. The brothers' naïve attitude always made Li Xin extremely happy.

So Li Xin became the nanny of the two of them, and when Li Houzhong was busy weaving bamboo, and Liu was busy feeding chickens and pigs and doing housework, she took the two little ones with her. In a few days, the little one will get acquainted with her, and always the "aunt" and "aunt" will be behind her.

Shanzi's age is calculated according to modern standards, and he can go to kindergarten. Li Xin deliberately enlightened him, taught him to count, from one, two, three, four to ten, and took a branch to scratch on the mud ground to teach him to read. Shanzi was also sensible and excitedly learned from him, and Xiaodou echoed on the side, even though the little guy didn't know what his aunt and brother were doing.

The days passed very plainly, and finally the long-awaited rain fell by Li Dalang and Li Erlang, and they didn't have to go down to the ground to work.

The two brothers sat in the hall and watched the rain crackling outside the courtyard, Li Erlang said: "What if you don't give us water, God still gives us rain." is so rich and unkind, see how long their Yang family can be proud! ”

"I heard that the Yang family has relatives who are officials in the capital, so they are arrogant."

"The emperor still has poor relatives, and the Yang family is a bird's egg!" Li Erlang sighed, and when he saw his sister coming in with a big bowl of tea, he couldn't help but shut up.

"Say what? When you see me come in, you won't say anything. Li Xin smiled and put down the big bowl, and then Shanzi, who came in, held two small porcelain bowls. Li Xin touched his head and praised him, and Shanzi squinted his eyes and smiled.

Pouring a bowl of tea for the brothers, Li Xin looked at Li Erlang's face, and scolded with a smile: "Come on, when my sister didn't hear what you said just now?" It's such a big person, it's not good for my sister to swear at this time. ”

"Sister......

Li Erlang is very embarrassed, the eldest nephew is still with him!

Li Xin picked up Shanzi, Li Dalang wanted to take over, but Li Xin didn't let him, "Shanzi is not heavy, I can hold it." Big brother, the Yang family you just talked about, but the Yang family who cut the ditch? ”

"Isn't that turtle son's house?"

Li Erlang was angry when he talked about the Yang family, and he didn't shy away from his sister, and scolded: "With two stinky money in the family, there are a lot of things that lack morality, who in the village doesn't scold them?" The big guys are cursing their family wealth to be ruined and their children and grandchildren will be cut off! ”

Li Xin frowned and persuaded: "They just don't allow us to get water conveniently, so there's no need to be so angry." Now that it's raining and the crops are not short of water, don't bother scolding the Yang family anymore. If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and the Yang family will have retribution. ”

Li Dalang also said: "Your eldest sister is right, the Yang family has some forces, we can't afford to provoke it, we can't provoke it, just hide a little when we meet someone from their family." ”

Li Xin, the richest man in Lijia Village, has no opinion, and if they act like this, they will definitely lose their popularity in Lijia Village. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, they have done too much, and after the feng shui turns out of their house, the Yang family's life in Lijia Village will definitely be very sad.

The Li family has been busy for nearly half a month and finally has a chance to take a breather and rest, Li Xin helped the Liu family make a large table of dishes to treat the family masters, and the Zhang family made her a lot more relaxed because Li Xin helped her take care of the two children, so she had to praise her during the meal. Jiang looked at Xiao Dou obediently in Li Xin's arms with envy, and secretly wondered in his heart, when can he add a baby to Erlang......

The vegetables in the backyard vegetable garden are growing very well, and Liu has to go to see them several times a day. Hearing Li Xin say that she likes to eat fresh vegetables, she will pick a handful or two, or stir-fry or make soup for her to eat.

By the time it was summer, Li Xin's weakness had completely healed. Meng Langzhong came for a follow-up visit, nodded and said, "My body and bones are much better, so it won't be a big deal if I don't work too hard in the future." The medicine should continue to take for a month or two, the medicine is also a supplement, and taking more time will also help you solidify the yuan. ”

Li Xin thanked Meng Langzhong with a smile, and Liu sent him out, stopping him to hide and talk.

"Uncle, look ......"

Meng Langzhong was carrying a medicine box, which Li Houzhong specially took bamboo to weave it to him a few days ago to express his gratitude. "Second sister-in-law Li, what's the matter? Second Brother Li has already given me the consultation fee. ”

"No, I want to ask that ......," Liu stammered, "My family Xin'er...... Yes, why not? ”

"What?"

"Hey! That's ......" Liu approached Meng Langzhong, "can you get married...... Having a baby? ”

Meng Langzhong was stunned for a moment, touched the little short beard on his chin and groaned. Liu was very anxious, "Her uncle, Xin'er is also your niece's daughter, the seniority is there, you don't have anything to say, tell me!" Xin'er has been in that kind of place for five years, and we all know that she is definitely not a yellow flower girl. But Xin'er can't just live like this for the rest of her life, I think I still have to find a family for her. Xin'er is sensible and well-behaved, has a good temperament, and is also a good hand at housework, but she has such a ...... past"

"Second sister-in-law Li, this ...... It's hard to say......"

"Can you give me a word?" Liu Shiba looked at him, "Does she have a ...... body?" What kind of disease? ”

Meng Langzhong understood that Liu was talking about women's dirty diseases, and they usually stayed in that place more or less, but Sister Xin'er had a ruddy face and good spirits, which was different from those women. Meng Langzhong shook his head and said very decisively: "There is no such thing as Sister Xin'er. ”

"That means you can have sex with a man?"

Meng Langzhong was a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

"What about having a baby?"

"I don't know." Meng Langzhong hesitated: "It's not easy to say this, her body has been damaged...... It also depends on whether God gives her this creation. ”
