[Xiao An's new article "Wife Late Bloomer", I strongly ask everyone to pay attention to it~]

***

Xing'er was boiling water on the side and washing the dishes, Li Xin and Ah Xiu did not shy away from her when they mentioned money, which made her feel slightly warm in her heart.

Xing'er smiled and said to Li Xin: "Seeing that your face was so bad that day, when I asked you, you said that you went back to your mother's house, I thought something happened to your mother's house." He sighed again: "Later, Ah Xiu brought Ah Mei to my house, and only then did she tell me about your family." Brother Guan went to live with you at your parents' house for two days this time, right? You are angry enough, so you should tell the big brother of the Guan family that he has always been a reasonable person. ”

Li Xin smiled faintly, scooped hot water to wash the pig's legs with a basin, and said while washing: "Mingli is Mingli, yes, he is a good person, but there are some things...... I couldn't tell for a while. Li Xin sighed, "In the end, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." ”

Xing'er also sighed shallowly, seeing that Ah Xiu and Ah Mei were busy lighting the fire, she attached it to Li Xin's ear and said: "In these days, you should be more restrained in closing the house, don't make a mess at home and let outsiders know." ”

Li Xin frowned strangely, "What do you say?" ”

"I'll tell you a letter quietly, you have to be mentally prepared." Xing'er lowered her voice and said: "You know that Yinhuan has always been arrogant, there is no one on the mouth, the first few days she told me to come, our county magistrate said, the newly elected village chief should be selected from the young people, and the too old rely on prestige to serve the public, this is also what 'catering to the will'." Isn't her father-in-law the old village chief Yinhuan this time, and asked him to mention the names of a few young men in the village, and you are also among them. I've been observing these people lately. At this time, there can be no moths, otherwise a great opportunity will be lost. ”

Li Xin opened his mouth in surprise, and only replied in a low voice after a while: "Really? ”

"What did I lie to you." Xing'er said with a smile: "The eldest brother of the Guan family is good, and it must be more than enough to be the village head." He whispered again: "But if this future village chief himself is restless." How can you afford to manage other households? ”

Li Xin paused. He sighed and shook his head and said, "I see, he has no luck." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xing'er frowned, "I think the eldest brother of the Guan family is the most suitable, I haven't found a man in the village who is more capable than the eldest brother of the Guan family." ”

"Sister Xing'er, don't you think it's hard to say that the village chief and his daughter-in-law used to be a kiln sister?" Li Xin asked rhetorically, Xing'er choked: "Who said that?" ”

"When he becomes the village head, some people will definitely say that the Sun family is the first one." Li Xin said lightly: "Since the next village head, Sister Yinhuan, her father-in-law, the current village head, can't be the master." can only be nominated, so if you want to come to the top to elect this village head, you will take a good check. In order not to let the elected people embarrass the county, even if it is done for people to see. Won't choose me. ”

Xing'er understood after thinking about it carefully, her eyes looked at Li Xin slightly complicated, and she sighed and said, "It's hard for you to ......"

"I'm fine, but if my father-in-law knows about this, maybe something will happen again." Li Xin shrugged his shoulders, "Don't talk about this, I'm here to relax, don't you make me uncomfortable when you say that?" ”

Smiling at Xing'er, Li Xin looked at Ah Xiu again: "Do you need the two sisters to be next to each other to make a fire?" Ah Xiu, go and set the dishes and chopsticks! ”

"Whoa!"

Ah Xiule ran away. Li Xin asked Xing'er: "They have been hiding with you for the past two days, causing you trouble, right?" ”

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, someone is there to accompany me and help me with housework, it's too late for me to be happy." Xing'er smiled: "Xiaokang was hugged by his grandmother to play again, and I was bored at home alone." ”

Speaking of the child, the smile on Li Xin's face was a little more real. "Sister Xing'er, are you going to send Xiaokang to enlighten literacy?"

"Yes." Xing'er sighed: "Xiaokang's father is a scholar. If he hadn't gone early because of his poor health, I'm afraid that the matter of being well-off and enlightened would have been handed over to him directly. Xiaokang's father has always wanted to emulate his ancestors and also take the exam. His unfulfilled wish was fulfilled by his father, which is also what my mother-in-law meant. ”

Li Xin doesn't think that Lao Tzu's wish must be inherited by his son, but it is necessary for Kaimeng to read and understand some truths. If the well-off also likes to read in the future, it will be a good thing to be able to fulfill his father's wish.

Li Xin smiled and said: "Well-off and sensible, you must understand your mother's hard work." But the child is still young, don't push too hard, the most important thing in reading and literacy is to understand the reason, be a man in advance, be well-off so smart, if you are determined to learn, let alone show talent, you can also be a master. ”

Xing'er laughed when she heard this, "Don't praise him, he doesn't know the east, west, north and south." Although this kid is as weak as his father, his heart is small, and he will not forget it until he says that he will remember it for ten days and a half months. ”

"So good memory?" Li Xin exclaimed: "How old is he, he has such a strong memory, this is clearly a prodigy!" ”

"What a prodigy is not a prodigy." Xing'er patted Li Xin, "Hurry up, cook and eat, I'm almost hungry...... Tsk, your pork leg is so fragrant......"

The four of them sat down at a table and ate heartily, leaving nothing behind. Only part of the pork leg brought by Li Xin was cut, and the rest was hung on the stove for Xing'er. After eating, Ah Xiu pulled Li Xin to speak, and asked Li Xin why he left without saying a word.

“…… My sister-in-law just told me some big truths, and when I turned around, my sister-in-law didn't keep it herself. ”

Li Xin smiled, "At this time and that time, you will be willful as a sister-in-law, okay?" ”

"But sister-in-law, what happened to you?" Ah Xiu frowned and said, "If you invite the sixth child to eat, Mr. will also have a problem eating." ”

In short, it's hard to put into words...... Li Xin moved his mouth, and finally shook his head, "Don't worry about it so much, I still have business to tell you here." ”

Ah Xiu hurriedly sat up straight and listened, Xing'er also wiped her hands and sat over, and Ah Mei naturally sat next to Ah Xiu.

Li Xin cleared his throat first, drank some water, and then said, "This time, I didn't care about my anger when I went back to my parents' house." I went to ask my mother about how to see each other with Ah Xiu. Sister Xing'er, you can also listen to it and give some advice. ”

Ah Xiu blushed and said shyly: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about...... How can you talk to me......"

"Why can't I tell you? It's the big thing of your life. I can't make it to you quietly. Li Xin said: "I didn't even say anything about your eldest brother." Naturally, I didn't say anything to your other brothers and your father, but I was going to ask you first to see what you were saying. If you don't think it's good, I won't mention it, and I'll look at the rest. If you think it's okay, I'll find a time to visit. ”

Ah Xiu was reserved for a long time but nodded, Li Xin smiled: "Don't be embarrassed, this is the biggest thing in a girl's life, marrying a good family is better than anything else." If you don't care about yourself. Others don't care even more. You ask your sister Xing'er if this is the truth. ”

Xing'er nodded hurriedly and said, "Ah Xiu, listen to your sister-in-law, it's a big deal to get married." If you leave it in the past and let Sun Magpie help you buy it, you will not be allowed to be allowed to be a concubine. Now that your sister-in-law is checking for you, the situation or something is still telling you, it's much better than being blind or something. ”

Ah Xiu said: "I know, sister-in-law, you can say it." ”

Ah Mei also looked at Li Xin expectantly.

"My mother inquired about one family in Lijia Village, and also inquired about two other families through a daughter-in-law who married in another village in the village. During this period of time, I was idle, my mother had visited these three households, and the situation was generally the same as what I heard. ”

"The eldest lady is really warm-hearted." Apricot sighed.

Li Xin said: "Let's talk about the household in Lijia Village first." The family's surname is Gong, the population is relatively simple, the father and the mother plus a boy and a girl. The girl is only eight years old this year, and the boy is eighteen this year. If you want to say that you are a relative, this kid's name is Gun'an. The young man has a lot of strength, and he is also filial to his father, and his mother is now showing him the girl. Gunan now looks after his family's land. When the farm is not working, I will go out to do part-time work or something. The family has a bit of a foundation, there are cows and pigs. There are also large stone mills that press millet husks. I heard that it was passed down from Gong'an's grandfather. Nowadays, many unmarried girls are targeting their families. ”

"This family is in good condition, and it is in a village, so I know the roots." Xing'er said: "But the conditions of the people are good, so the requirements are naturally high." ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "The biggest problem is here." Gong'an said that marrying a daughter-in-law would listen to his mother's wishes, but this Gong'an aunt said that the girl who wanted to marry her son needed to marry a pig, two geese, four chickens and eight fish, as well as sixteen new clothes and thirty-two eggs. ”

Ah Xiu frowned when she heard this, "Didn't she choose her daughter-in-law based on the wealth of the girl's family?" ”

Li Xin said: "That's what it means. So my mother also felt that it was inappropriate, but she thought that Gong'an's child was very good, so she was included in the list of candidates. ”

"This doesn't count, let's talk about the next one." Ah Xiu waved his hand and directly rejected Gong'an.

Li Xin didn't persuade either, so he said the next one, "This second household is in Xiahe Village next door to Lijia Village, which is a little far away from Lotus Village." The family in Xiahe Village is surnamed Feng, and compared with the Gong family, this family has a little more family. The boy who said that his name was Feng Defa, and he was nineteen this year. His grandmother is still there, and there are five children under his grandmother, and Feng Defa's father is in the middle. Feng Defa is the second eldest in the family, with an older brother and two younger sisters. To say that the population is quite complicated. ”

"There are a lot of people, and it's comparable to your Guan family."

Ah Xiu bit her lip, "Sister-in-law, auntie, she has also been to see this?" ”

"Yes." Li Xin smiled, "My mother told me that she values this Feng family, Feng Defa, his mother's soft temperament, and his sister-in-law is a sick man." If you marry a tougher girl in the past, you can be in charge of the family in the past. Feng Defa's father's generation was divided into family orders, his grandmother and his uncle, the only thing to worry about is the marriage of the two sisters, but it is not in a hurry, one sister is thirteen, the other is ten years old, it is still early. ”

Li Xin took a sip of tea, smashed his mouth and said: "I heard that this family has a good temperament, and they have a good reputation in Xiahe Village. Feng Defa is a little ordinary in appearance, but he is also a tall man, and he is very popular in the village, and I haven't heard of him having any bad temper. ”

"Is there any disadvantage to this one?" Apricot asked.

"Yes." Li Xin said softly: "The shortcomings of this family are one word, poor. (To be continued)
