Li Xin looked funny, no matter how funny her mother's actions were, she turned her head and asked Li Houzhong, "Dad, persuaded the uncle to go back?" ”

Li Houzhong sighed: "Your uncle has to come next time." ”

"Sensei take care of him." Liu said indignantly: "Your father and daughter are soft-hearted, with such relatives, people can hide." I don't know how his family can stand your uncle's kraft candy-like temperament. ”

Li Xin only laughed sullenly, Li Houzhong couldn't pull down his face, but it was his own eldest brother, and he always felt inappropriate when his daughter-in-law said it behind his back, so he said: "Everyone has gone back, what else to say, look at your stone." ”

Liu muttered twice, and did not argue with Li Houzhong.

After looking at it for a while, Liu suddenly sighed, turned his head and said to Li Xin: "Xin'er, you go and find a piece of cloth for your mother to dip in water and wipe it, there seems to be a pattern...... Li Xin agreed, went to draw the water on the cloth and handed it to Liu's hand, Liu took it and rubbed it vigorously on the inner wall of the stone step, and after tinkering for a long time, he beckoned to Li Xin with a smile: "Xin'er, come and see, what kind of pattern is this?" It's boxy, I'm afraid it's a word on it, right? ”

Li Xin leaned forward and suddenly his eyes widened.

I saw that the inconspicuous flat place of the stone seemed to be engraved with a seal, and the square frame was framed, and there were four words in the frame, not the font used by ordinary people now, but like the ancient ghost painting symbol-like words, looking solemn. Maybe it's been grinding for many years, and it's a little incomplete, but you can still see it in general.

"What's that?"

Liu asked again, Li Xin shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it, it shouldn't be the font we use now." ”

Liu muttered, "This should be a thing...... Otherwise, let's go and ask Mr. Shanzi to come to the house to have a look? ”

Li Ge, who had been staying aside to tease Liang'er, heard Liu talk about Shanzi, and immediately shouted: "Oops! I forgot that the eldest nephew ran away! ”

Liu scolded with a smile: "What is your eldest nephew and eldest nephew, you are younger than your eldest nephew, why do you call him by his name on weekdays, and the eldest nephew calls him all day long, as if others don't know that you are higher than him." ”

Li Ge snorted: "Whoever made him not treat me as an aunt on weekdays, I will call him the eldest nephew." ”

Li Ge jumped down to the ground and shouted: "Sister, you are not allowed to go back, I will come back to play with Liang'er later, and I will go to arrest my eldest nephew now." After saying that, he jumped out and ran out.

Li Xin covered her mouth and smiled: "Ge'er's temperament doesn't know who to follow." ”

Liu said: "Look at it, this girl will definitely be a little pepper when she grows up, the last time she bumped into two women quarreling on the ridge, the quarrel was very intense, she was not afraid, she was stunned to interject in the middle, the two of them quarreled and quarreled, and she couldn't quarrel anymore, so they went home to do it." ”

"That shows that Ge'er has the ability to be a peacemaker!"

"What kind of peace is old, she wants to see other people's harmony and beauty, and she can also mess up other people's affairs."

Liu Shi said a few words disappreciatively, his eyes kept staring at the pattern near the bottom of the stone, and after pondering for a long time, he asked Li Xin: "What, Xin'er, did you say that we should send this stone to Baocheng for evaluation?" ”

Li Xin couldn't cry or laugh: "Mother, this stone is big, just like the stone by the river, it's nothing special, and it's basically impossible to evaluate any treasure if you send it to be evaluated...... Isn't that a fortune in it? And this flower. Liu Shi hurriedly pointed to the pattern of the stone and said, "This always has some meaning, right?" ”

Li Xin shook his head: "Mother, I don't know what kind of pattern and words it is, who knows what it means."

If you want me to say, don't listen to the uncle's nonsense, the gem club is all a trick played by merchants and yamen, ordinary people really have any rare stones, they have already been taken away by merchants and yamen, they eat meat and the common people can have a soup to drink. ”

Li Xin said to Liu: "Don't get involved in this stubble mother, it's approaching the end of the year, let's think about the New Year." ”

Liu was a little unhappy, and discussed with Li Xin: "Although Mingzi didn't reply to the letter, he will definitely come back for the New Year, and his mother also wants to pave the way for him...... Before Liu finished speaking, Li Houzhong said: "He is running for the future, don't worry about it on the side, what can you do and what you can't do, he doesn't know?" If he really has the ability, you just don't pave the way for him or help him dredge up the relationship, he can still run up, you are in a hurry to tie up those lords in the officialdom, that is really to hold Mingzi back, and when others talk about him in the future, they can't say that he relied on his mother to sacrifice stones to have a relationship with others. ”

Liu immediately shook his face: "If you don't help your son think about the future, forget it, I'll help him think about you and bury me." You have to have the ability, I need to think about the crooked way? ”

"Okay, dad, mother, what's the matter, don't talk too far······" Li Xin hurriedly came out to reconcile the emotions of the two: "This stone is not a big deal, you can move a piece back everywhere, just treat it as our townhouse stone and easily don't touch it?" ”

As Li Xin spoke, he gave Li Houzhong a look, raised his voice and called out, asking the long-term workers outside to help Li Houzhong move the stone back to the high shrine.

Li Xin hugged Liu again and comforted: "Mother, don't worry about your father, what your father said is also reasonable." In the past few years, Ming'er has traveled and studied abroad, and he must have seen a lot, and he always has his own sense of proportion in the world. He hasn't come back yet, and we don't know what we need our family to do, so it's not too late to pave the way for him when he opens his mouth, right? Besides, mother, you forgot that my sister-in-law married an official from the sixth grade, and there is no one in our family in the officialdom. ”

Li Xin didn't say this to let Su Yan help Li Ming Qingyun go up, but just to calm Liu's heart.

Sure enough, Liu was still a little unhappy at first, and when he heard Li Xin mentioning Su Yan's face after hearing it, he took Li Xin's hand and said: "You have three brothers, your eldest brother and second brother are all settled, and your mother is not worried, just this San Lang, he is smart when he is young, he is also diligent in studying, and he wants to be an official and wants to be an official, so my mother is afraid that he is from a civilian background, and he will be bullied if people look down on him······ With your words, my mother's heart will be steady. ”

Li Xin patted Liu's hand and said: "Mother, don't be angry with Dad, Dad is right, we pave the way for Ming'er It is our heart as a family, but in the eyes of others, it is inappropriate, and maybe someone will use it to make a fuss and attack Mingzi in the future." He is not a little baby anymore, and he knows how to go in the future. We just need to stand behind him and support him. ”

Liu wiped his eyes and nodded.

Li Xin said with a smile: "My father and mother are going to be angry when I come back, isn't this clearly telling me not to come back in the future?" ”

Liu hurriedly scolded: "Look at what you said. He glared at Li Houzhong again: "Go back and take a look at the pigs raised at home, see if you have grown fat again for a while, and slaughter one for a good meal during the New Year." ”

Li Houzhong smiled helplessly, but still happily went to the pigsty behind.

Liu Shi took Liang'er over and hugged him, and talked to Li Xin, and after a while, Li Ge ran back in a hurry, followed by Xiaodou and Youyou.

Li Ge stepped into the door and went straight to the water cup in front of Liu, drank the water as soon as he picked it up, and then sighed comfortably: "It's so comfortable!" ”

"You monkey, where did you go?"

Li Ge snorted and said, "I went to find my eldest nephew, but I didn't find anyone." ”

Shanzi pulled Yang'er and Xiaokang into the woods, deliberately avoiding Li Ge, and Li Ge could easily find talents.

Li Ge sat on a chair on the side, wearing a thick cotton coat, and his little face was flushed, like an apple. She looked at Xiaodou and Youyou on the side and laughed, and proudly raised her face at Liu and Li Xin: "Mother, sister, they are all my juniors!" ”

Li Xin thought it was funny: "Yes, you are older than all of them." ”

Li Ge laughed, and a silver bell-like laughter rang in the room.

Yoyo pouted, rubbed into Li Xin's arms and said, "Mother, my aunt is a little older than Yoyo."

Li Xin touched her head. There's no way, the seniority is there, just like Shanzi, seven or eight years older than Li Ge, why don't you still call Aunt Li Ge?

Xiao Dou was as kind as he could, found a place to sit down, and gently asked Twilight to sit with him.

Li Ge nodded, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, Jiu'er is not here." ”

Li Erlang and Jiang have now opened two shops in the town, they are sincere, the quality and taste of the food they sell are good, they are enough, the business is very good, and they are busy on weekdays. The number of times I have returned to the village is only a handful. Jiu'er lived in the town with them, and only returned to the village once in a while, so that Li Ge had one less playmate of the same age of different generations.

Liu scolded her with a smile: "You can't have enough people to play with you?" ”

Li Ge snorted: "My eldest nephew always runs out, and the second nephew is usually not happy to play. My sister came back to bring them back, but when I got home, I was kidnapped by my eldest nephew and ran away, and there was a stuffy gourd that didn't speak...... It's not fun! ”

Liu slapped her: "I want to play when I see the sky!" I'm really idle, you go to collect firewood for me, and go around the mountains with a small backpack and come back, lest you grind your skin here and itch all over! ”

Li Ge snorted angrily, and was about to open his mouth to refute, when there was movement at the door again, and Shanzi, Yang'er, and Xiaokang came back with a smile and a smile.

Li Ge immediately rushed forward as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, pointed at Shanzi and said, "Big nephew, look where you are still running!" ”

Li Xin rarely saw Shanzi sighing and holding his forehead, but at this time, he saw Shanzi sighing helplessly, turned around and said to Yang'er and Xiaokang, "Have you seen it?" Women are just trouble, and they remember a lot of things for a long time, and they are so annoyed that they are annoyed to death...... "RS
