Li Xin is a married daughter, and she doesn't interfere much in her mother's affairs, just listen to it. But Liu wanted his daughter to talk about his opinion, and after complaining, he asked Li Xindao: "Xin'er, you say, what happened to my mother?" ”

Li Xin touched her head, bent down to wash the vegetable leaves, and said, "My mother asked me where I knew, and I haven't dealt ......with my uncle and their family for a long time."

Liu slapped his thigh, "That's what I said, they didn't say anything when you got married, they came to eat and drink and went back." It's still a big brother, and it's such a funny joke! ”

Li Xin smiled and didn't answer her mother's words.

Jiang Shi added firewood to the stove hole, and said: "Golden silk nanmu is not ordinary wood, I remember my father told me, there is a legend about this golden silk nanmu!" ”

"Oh? What legend? Zhang asked with interest.

"I heard that there was a rich and noble family in Jingshi before, and the male owner of the family was usually kind and charitable, one day he dreamed, and dreamed that he went to the heavenly realm and saw a fairy child in the heavenly realm, and the fairy boy said to him that he had done good deeds in his life and accumulated merits, and if he could have a good coffin to help him ascend to heaven after death, then he could be ranked in the immortal class and become a member of the heavenly realm."

Jiang said with a smile, and Zhang had an expression that asked her to continue. Although Li Xin doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas very much, he has the right to listen to the story and listen to it with relish.

"And then?" Liu urged.

Then the man woke up, and when he woke up, he asked people what coffins were good. I went to the monk to calculate, and I also looked for a plan to divination, but I didn't get an exact statement. Some people say that they want to be inlaid with gold and jade, some people say that they want sandalwood with fragrance, and some people say that they want to make it with jade. The man gradually became a little dead, thinking that he might not be able to get a good coffin, who knew that he heard that our unique golden silk nanmu in Yizhou is the best wood in the world, so he hurriedly asked people to go to Yizhou to buy a coffin made of golden silk nanmu, ready to send it to Beijing. ”

"Then maybe the coffin made of golden silk nanmu is the good coffin that fairy child said." Liu nodded.

Jiang smiled, "This story, strange is behind." The good man sent a housekeeper from his house to Yizhou, and after buying the coffin of Jinsi Nanmu, he put a bowl of roasted meat in the coffin and covered it tightly, and then sent it to Jingshi. After walking on the road for nearly a month, when I arrived at Jingshi, the good man watched the coffin open, and as a result, guess what? ”

At a critical time, the Jiang family actually sold Guanzi, and the Zhang family scolded with a smile: "You are a good learner, hurry up and say it!" ”

Jiang said with a smile: "As soon as the coffin lid is opened, the bowl of roasted meat is still in it, and the good man can still smell the fragrance when he brings out the meat, and eat it with chopsticks, the meat is not bad!" ”

"Wow, really?" Zhang's eyes widened slightly, "Is the golden silk nanmu coffin really like you said?" ”

"I also heard my father say it when I was a child, and it was said that it was a legend, and there was no way to verify it."

Jiang smacked his lips, added firewood, looked up at the pot, and said, "Mother-in-law, the water is about to rise." ”

"Huh!" Liu Shi responded, and said unsatisfactorily: "It seems that the good man must have used the coffin of the golden silk nanmu later, and then he became an immortal in the immortal class!" ”

Zhang said: "I don't know if Grandma knows this story, if she also knows this story, maybe she wants to be in the immortal class!" ”

"She thinks about beauty, and I haven't seen her do any good deeds, and she can cast a good baby in the next life, because she has created it, and she will be a fairy......" Liu snorted twice, rubbed the dough and got into the pot, seeing Li Xin silent, he said strangely: "Xin'er, what do you want?" ”

"It's not ......" Li Xin put the vegetable leaves on the basket and drained the water, "I just thought, the golden silk nanmu is only available in our Yizhou, and there is that kind of wood in the woods in the village, so it doesn't hurt to cut one down." However, it is indeed time-consuming and laborious to build a coffin. Seeing that he is about to threshh grain, his father's waist is not good and he can't get out, Ming'er is still young and has to study, but he can't help much, and the whole family has only two strong laborers, the eldest brother and the second brother, how can this be busy? ”

"That's why I said it shouldn't be!" Liu said that Li Houbo's family was angry in his heart, "When your grandmother dies, your uncle will handle the funeral, and the gift money received is also in your uncle's hands, can you share it with us?" Let's build the coffin, and your father will suffer if you calculate it. ”

I still can't get angry when I think about it, "It's not that your father is honest and easy to bully, and you have to step on your father in everything!" ”

Li Xin smiled faintly and said: "It's better for my mother to tell the uncle, our family really can't spare the manpower to get this coffin, it doesn't take much effort to cut down a golden silk nan tree, and it is better to let the uncle's family do it, anyway, the uncle's family has four cousins, and it is faster to do things when there are more people." ”

Liu's eyes lit up, "That's right! Why can't they use their family to block him more? Saying that, he happily said to Li Xin: "It's still Xin'er smart!" ”

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled, and whispered: "It's not my idea, that's the truth." ”

"Yes, that's right!"

Liu smiled, his hands moved faster and faster, put the dough in the basin into the pot in a few moments, and went to mix pig food, and told Zhang to look at the inside of the pot.

Zhang sat down next to Jiang's, heard Shanzi's immature question and Guan Wen's answer in the courtyard outside, and smiled at Li Xin: "Brother-in-law looks quite terrifying, but he is quite patient, Shanzi is so annoying to ask this and that, he can still bear to deal with him." ”

"Yes, my brother-in-law came to greet him that day, and I was very shocked to see him." Jiang also said: "But now that I'm familiar with it, I don't think he's so scary, even Shanzi is not afraid of him." ”

"He has a cold face and a warm heart, and he will know it after getting along for a long time."

Li Xin pushed the bottom of the pot with a spatula, afraid that the dough would stick, and said to Jiang: "Put less firewood, if the heat is too big, I am afraid that it will be boiled apart." ”

The ladies are busy with the evening meals here, talking and laughing very harmoniously, but the atmosphere on the men's side is relatively dignified.

Li Houzhong called Li Dalang and Li Erlang over and discussed with his two sons about the coffin that his eldest brother said. Li Dalang frowned when he heard this.

"Dad, this will be threshing the grain soon, you have to agree to what the uncle's family said, where can I find time for my second brother and I?"

"That is to say, Dad, many of them don't make coffins by themselves? We didn't accept much kindness from Grandma, and we couldn't afford to die for her coffin. ”

Li Erlang threw away the small hoe for digging vegetables, crossed his waist and said in a rough voice. Li Houzhong glared at him, "That's your grandma, it's your father and my mother!" How could her father push it down? Don't make your father and I be said to be unfilial! ”

Li Erlang puffed up his eyes angrily and sneered, "Okay, you should be, you should go and cut down the tree and beat the coffin by yourself, don't pull me and my eldest brother to suffer with you!" ”

"You!"

Li Houzhong was so excited by Li Erlang, his emotions suddenly became excited, and his hand trembled and pointed at Li Erlang, "You just talked to your father and me like this?" Are you going to do this to me when I'm old in the future? ”

"Daddy! That's a serious point! ”

Li Dalang pulled Li Erlang behind him, gave Li Erlang, whose eyes were red, a look, and waited for him to calm down before he spoke: "Dad, my mother said that there is something in the family that the big guys want to discuss together, and you agreed, is it difficult to regret it again?" ”

Li Houzhong was speechless for a moment, looked at Shanzi who was shrinking behind Guan Wen, and then looked at Guan Wen, who had been silent, but asked Guan Wendao: "What did my uncle say?" ”

How did Guan Wen come up with an idea on this matter? But the old man asked him and couldn't pretend not to hear, so after thinking about it, he said, "I think...... It's better to discuss this matter with your mother-in-law, and if your father-in-law responds like this, he will have to complain. ”

Li Dalang immediately echoed: "Dad, listen, even Awen said so." ”

Li Erlang turned his head away, his eyes slightly closed, showing his dissatisfaction.

Li Houzhong sighed, sat down silently and continued to work on the work at hand. Shanzi didn't understand what the adults were arguing about, but when he saw that his grandfather was not angry, he ran out again and pulled the corner of his father's shirt: "Daddy, my aunt will give me a snack." ”

"Well, let's eat."

Li Dalang had something on his mind, sent his son away, and also pulled Li Erlang away, and cast a grateful look at Guan Wen.

Guan Wen nodded slightly, and sat down next to his father-in-law, but he didn't say anything, just silently gave him a hand.
