Chapter 30 Educating the Ancestors
The hard currency of the hen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, no, to be precise, the egg is the hard currency, and the hen is the producer of the hard currency, the popularity is much higher than the egg, and in this era, if there is a hen, it is an indispensable property in the family, and its family status is even much higher than that of its own children.
At this time, in the eyes of the peasant woman, the skin monkey at home is hungry, but the hen can't be hungry, and she won't lay eggs when she is hungry.
"Okay, auntie, don't send it, it's okay, it's really okay, I'm the filial piety of the younger generation to honor your second elder, go, go."
Li Chaosheng was sent to the gate by the second aunt, and the second aunt's mouth was full of words of thanks, and the cordiality was like kissing her son, of course, her son may not be so close.
Until Li Chaosheng was sent away, the second aunt was still full of smiles on her face, this child is so good.
The second aunt thought about entering the house at this time, looking at the hen wandering around the yard, a smile appeared on the second aunt's face, and then picked up the chicken, took it home and put it away, don't let people steal the chicken.
When I entered the house, I saw my old man staring directly at the satin clothes on the kang, and the corners of his mouth were cracked to see the back molars, happy, even happier than seeing beautiful women, the second aunt hugged the chicken at this time and said: "Look at it." ”
"Ah, look, the nephew is gone?"
"Let's go, I said that the old man's nephew is really good, and he sent a chicken to our family, let me tell you, the nephew is coming back from overseas, and he will definitely do some new things in the clan, and when the time comes, you old guys are not allowed to make trouble with others, this is not good, that is not good, we have to support more."
The second aunt stroked the hair on the hen and said, the old man smiled when she heard this: "Then it goes without saying, we have discussed it, no matter what the nephew does, we will fully support it, the nephew has great ability, and the knowledge is not comparable to us, we are almost out of food, people are doing something new, we are still stopping, aren't you sick?" You're really stupid as our brother. ”
Hearing this, the second aunt said: "Okay, okay, don't look at your precious clothes, pack up and sleep." ”
When the old man heard this, he said, "Don't, don't sleep yet, but help me sew patches on my elbows and knees." ”
The old man said to the second aunt, and after hearing this, the second aunt said: "You are an old immortal, what are you going to wear every day with such good clothes, just wear them during the New Year's holidays, what kind of patches are sewn, isn't it bad to sew patches on this clothes." ”
The second aunt said, and the old man thought for a while and said, "That's what I said, come and help my wife, I'll wear it and take a look." ”
"What new clothes do you wear in the middle of the night, you can really toss people."
The second aunt reluctantly put the old hen down, and was just about to take the clothes, but the old man was anxious: "You go wash your hands first, this dress is silk, and the gold is expensive." ”
……
Li Chaosheng and Li Chaolong ran half of the village to send chickens to the elders of each family, and won the support of the family members of all the clan elders.
After doing this, Li Chaosheng helped Li Chaolong take the remaining hens home, Li Chaosheng also took a bag of osmanthus cake made by Jufangzhai, Li Chaosheng ate a piece, it was very delicious, there was a primitive aromatic fragrance, which could not be made by modern technology.
When I got home, my sister-in-law hadn't slept yet, put the hen down, my sister-in-law and my aunt came out, and the two of them were stunned when they saw so many hens, and then Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Auntie, sister-in-law, you haven't slept yet." ”
"Ah, I didn't sleep, what are you doing?"
The eldest lady pointed to a few hens on the ground, and Li Chaosheng said: "Oh, I went to the county seat today, and I saw that this chicken was good, so I bought a few for the eldest mother, you are weak, and you should eat more eggs, and I will see if there are any supplements in the county in a few days and then buy some for you." ”
"You kid, what are you doing with all this unjust money, I'm fifty years old, and I still have a few years to live, and I'm blind when I eat these eggs."
"Mother."
Li Chaolong was not happy to listen to this, the old lady glanced at Li Chaolong and did not speak, this eldest son is filial.
"Dad, you're back?"
At this moment, a tiger-headed child walked out of the door, looking at the age of eight or nine years old, older than Li Chaogu, at this time Li Chaolong touched the child's head dotingly and said, "I haven't seen your uncle Chaosheng yet." ”
"Uncle Chaosheng."
The child called at Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng touched the child's head at this time and said, "You are Dezong, you look so cute, come and uncle to give you a piece of osmanthus cake." ”
Li Chaosheng took out a piece of osmanthus cake from the paper bag and handed it to Li Dezong, the child looked up at Li Chaolong, Li Chaolong smiled and said, "Uncle gave it, eat it." ”
After hearing this, Li Dezong took the osmanthus cake handed to him by Li Chaosheng.
"Thank you, uncle."
Li Dezong took a bite of the osmanthus cake and ran to the house, followed by a child in the house shouting: "Nephew, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
"The osmanthus cake given by Uncle Chaosheng."
"Osmanthus cake! Give Uncle a bite. ”
"No."
"Hey, believe it or not, I told my eldest brother that you bullied me, hey, by the way, come and give my uncle a bite."
"Just a small bite."
"Just a small bite!"
……
"Ah, you bit my hand, uncle, why don't you eat anymore."
"Oh oh ~ real face (really sweet)"
"Ah, you give me back the osmanthus cake!"
"I'm gone, why don't I pay you back, hey, don't chase me, big brother, help~"
……
There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the house, and soon the door opened, Li Dezong chased Li Chaogu and ran out, Li Chaogu ran behind Li Chaolong at once, Li Dezong chased after him, Li Chaolong frowned and said, "What are you running at night?" ”
"Dad, he, he ate my osmanthus cake."
Li Dezong said aggrievedly, and after hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "A piece of osmanthus cake, eat it, he is your uncle, no big or small." ”
"Yes, it's not too big or too small."
Li Chaogu hid behind Li Chaolong and stuck out his tongue, Li Dezong was wronged at this time, and his tears fell down.
Seeing this scene, Li Chaosheng squatted down and said, "Dezong is here, and you are also here." ”
Li Dezong looked at Li Chaosheng aggrievedly at this time, and walked over step by step, Li Chaosheng patted Li Dezong's head at this time and said: "What are you crying about a manly husband, come, uncle will give you another piece." ”
Li Chaosheng gave Li Dezong a piece, Li Dezong took a bite of the osmanthus cake, and said aggrievedly: "Uncle said that he would only eat one bite, but he swallowed it all, he lied to others." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaogu and said, "Chaogu, come over and apologize to Dezong." ”
Li Chaogu looked at Li Chaosheng puzzled and said, "Why? He was deceived because he was stupid, and it wasn't me who did it wrong. ”
"Really? Do you really think Dezong is stupid? If you were a stranger, would he give you osmanthus cake? ”
Li Chaogu shook his head, although Dezong was stupid, he was not stupid to this extent.
"Yes, the reason why he gave you osmanthus cake is because he treats you as a relative, he believes in you, and you lied to him, will he still believe you in the future? Wouldn't you lose a loved one? Dezong doesn't get along with you, tomorrow you think you're very smart and lie to others, and others won't trust you anymore, in the long run, won't you just have a relative, a friend? Do you want to be a smart person with no friends, no relatives? ”
Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaogu, and Li Chaogu shook his head again and again when he heard this.
"That's right, remember, you can't use your cleverness on your relatives and friends, otherwise no one will be nice to you, so now you know what to do?"
Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaogu, Li Chaogu turned his head to look at Xiao Dezong when he heard the words, and said, "I'm sorry Dezong, Uncle was wrong, Uncle will apologize to you." ”
