was troubled by Mrs. Yang, and the news of the Li family and the Yang family facing each other became a sure fact. Li Xin didn't bother to explain, anyway, the words she said to Mrs. Yang didn't offend the Yang family on the face, she made it very clear that she didn't have the blessing to climb high, and she looked at what moths his Yang family would come out of to disgust people.

Yang Mei said that he would walk with her and watch for a long time, just to take her into the door and clean up? It's really wishful thinking. She is so confident, do you really think she Li Xin will agree?

Although most of the last married people who came out of the kiln couldn't avoid a concubine, who could force her if she wasn't happy? How can a cow press his head if he doesn't drink water, her father and brother love her, and they won't force her to do what she doesn't want to do, besides, what kind of character is the Yang family? Daddy won't push her into the fire pit. Li Xin still has this confidence.

Everyone dispersed, and the Li family also returned to the house. Erlang is still red-eyed, and his temper is not so easy to disappear. Jiang poured tea for their two brothers, and Liu sat on the bench wiping his tears.

"My good girl can be bullied like this! Being a concubine? It's a shame that she can say ......."

Li Dalang drank the water silently, Zhang took out the small pocket that woke up from the east room, and the mountain was tired to Li Xin's legs. Xiaodou rubbed his eyes and yawned delicately, calling Mama and Aunt vaguely.

Li Xin picked up Shanzi and stroked his thin back, thought for a while and said, "Mother, you go to find Aunt Li." ”

Liu's crying stopped, "Xin'er, you...... What do you say? ”

"I said, let my mother go to find Aunt Li and talk about my relatives."

Liu's name Li Xin is always called "Xin'er" and "Xin'er", and the two words are called together into one word, which becomes a child's pronunciation, which sounds very cordial and has a strong taste of spoiling. Li Xin likes to hear her call herself like this from Liu's mouth, which is the only name a mother has for her daughter.

There is no other meaning to call Aunt Li, it is Li Xin who decided to marry herself.

Aunt Li is the most famous matchmaker in the village, Li Taozi, and she is also a relative of their family. Although this relative is a little far apart, it is a close relative if he moves around a lot. Li Dalang and Li Erlang's marriages were all said by Aunt Li, and the relationship between the Liu family and Aunt Li is very good. If you want to find a matchmaker to say goodbye, Li Xin is willing to let Aunt Li help - at least Aunt Li is telling the truth and will not trap her.

Liu hesitated. It's a good thing that Li Xin is willing to think about her life's events, but now the people in the village haven't completely let go of their prejudices against her. In addition, after so many troubles with the Yang family, will outsiders think that Xin'er is as spicy as her? God is pitiful, her daughter is the most sensible and reasonable......

"Mother, it's not like I'm going to talk about marriage right away, but I'm just asking Aunt Li to help me figure it out, if there is a suitable family for me. It's not something you can find all the time, so take your time. Li Xin sighed, "I'm afraid, will there be any tricks on the Yang family's side, the woman in the Yang family is not good at stubble, I'm worried that she will have some damage to disgust us." ”

"Hey, hey, okay, I'll go, I'll go."

Liu quickly agreed. The last time she told her daughter about getting married, she gave up on herself and said that no one wanted to marry her. Now that she wants to find her own family, it is also a good thing, with Aunt Li's vision, she will definitely be able to find a good family for Xin'er! The kind of pure and kind people who don't care about Xin'er's past will definitely have it!

Thinking like this, Liu Shi packed a few eggs into baskets, brought bundles of fresh vegetable leaves, wrapped a bag of home-fried oil fruits, and went to Aunt Li's house to look for someone.

Li Xin stayed in the room like no one else, finishing up the two small clothes, the needlework was densely sewn, not to mention sturdy, and it looked good-looking and tight. Shanzi sat obediently next to her, his eyes glancing at the clothes in her hands.

Peasant children can only have new clothes to wear during the New Year's holidays, and most of them are worn by adults whose clothes have been changed from the old. Generally speaking, the eldest son wears it, gives it to the next brother or sister, and then wears it for the next brother or sister, and so on. Shanzi wore more new clothes than Xiaodoulai, but most of them were worn out by his father or mother, or they couldn't be worn out, so he changed them. Clothes like this have never been worn by him.

Li Xin pulled the thread, picked up the scissors and "clicked", and cut the last section of the thread, "Okay, come to Shanzi, try." ”

Shanzi hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand. Li Xin took off his long-sleeved shirt and trousers, revealing his bulging belly. Li Xin laughed, put on his clothes, and put on his short pants. It's a pity that people here don't wear underwear, children are just up, a pair of pants is still open, it doesn't matter, if adults wear shorts, it's not appropriate.

His thoughts flew a little far, and by the time Li Xin came back to his senses, Shanzi had already run out cheering. Children like to show off when they have things, and Shanzi jumped up to her mother to show off, "Mother, mother!" Look, my aunt made me a new dress! ”

Zhang looked at Xia Shanzi, "Yo, our Shanzi is wearing new clothes!" ”

"Mm-hmm, my aunt made it!"

Shanzi touched his clothes here and his pants there, and the baby was like something, which made the little pocket in Zhang's arms dissatisfied, "I want it too!" I want it too! ”

Zhang was about to reprimand, but Li Xin had already taken another small dress out, "Both brothers have it, and my aunt doesn't favor one over the other." Come to Xiaodou and let your mother change it for you. ”

Zhang said helplessly: "His aunt, I didn't spoil the baby like this." ”

"It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing, the fabric is not too good, there are no sleeves and not many trouser legs, and it doesn't cost much cloth." Li Xin touched the heads of the two little guys, "They have learned to memorize the three-character scripture during this time, and they can still count, and the clothes are rewarded to them, and they are not given in vain." ”

As he spoke, he leaned down and said to the two babies: "Remember, you will only be rewarded if you make achievements, nothing can be obtained for nothing, you have to rely on your own hard work, understand?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Yes, Auntie!"

The child's mind is very simple, take the opportunity to educate and instill in them that there is no cheap thing to get for nothing, and in the long run, the child's concept will have the cognition that "hard work can get what you want", and it will naturally be diligent and hardworking. By the time they become sensible, this attitude has been deeply rooted in their habits, and even if there is no longer anything "what they want to get" at that time, hard work has become a lingering habit for them.

Zhang sighed with emotion: "Her aunt said that teaching children is really a set of truths. ”

"Nothing."

Li Xin was a little embarrassed, looking at the brothers who had changed into new clothes and were refreshing, their arms and legs were exposed in vain, how to look at it and how to love, it almost made her want to pounce on it and take a bite. According to his "animal nature", Li Xin asked the two children to go out to play, and in the afternoon, he had to mix pig food for pigs, clean up the bamboo strips and bamboo residues that his father made some time ago, and spread them out to the sun to dry, so as to make firewood in the stove. Zhang's and Jiang's also have to do needlework to subsidize the family, and Liu's went out again, she couldn't be idle, so she helped here and there, which saved Zhang and Jiang a lot of effort.

Li Houzhong came back at the end of the day and brought back an iron plow. Zhang was taken aback, "Father-in-law, why did you think of buying this, how much does it cost?" ”

"It's okay, your third uncle runs a blacksmith shop, and the price is fair."

Li Houzhong happily, with the iron plow, the whole family tightened their belts a little, saved some money to buy a cow, and the things in the field did not have to work as hard as Da Lang Erlang. A mule at home is also old, taking advantage of the cheap price of the iron plough now to buy a handful, and when the New Year kills the pig and has money, it can make do with a half-sized calf.

It cost a tael to buy an iron plow! It was taken out of the silver given by Sister Xin. Now I can use that money to buy cattle, but I'm afraid that the old woman won't agree, so let's bear with it first. Anyway, there are still some days before spring.

In the evening, Liu came back with a smile on his face, but when he heard that Li Houzhong had spent more than one or two silver to buy an iron plow, his face immediately darkened.
