In this way, after nearly three watches, everyone dispersed.

The Li family didn't sleep well this night, and at dawn, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si personally drove the car and sent the eldest brother and Jiayi Liu Yang into the city.

Jiayin yawned, quietly pulled Jiayi's sleeve, and then stuffed him with a bag of silver.

Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then picked up his sister, kissed him twice, and promised in a low voice, "Fu Niu is obediently at home, my brother is back, and I will bring you good things!" ”

Jiayin smiled and patted his brother's shoulder, "Second brother, I want a shiny gem!" ”

"Okay, brother will buy you gems!" Jiayi didn't care whether the silver was enough or not, in short, he agreed very happily.

Soon, the carriage departed, and the Li family stood at the entrance of the village and watched for a long time before going back.

Some villagers got up early and went out for a stroll, and when they saw the Li family like this, they asked, "Auntie, but there is something at home, do you want help?" ”

Mrs. Li waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Zhensheng can't be idle, take the kid out for a walk around to see if he can find some business to do." ”

The villagers envied, "Mr. Big is a capable man, and he can't go wrong with anything." ”

After that, he suddenly reacted and asked, "Oh, Mr. Big is gone, what should I do with the school, who will teach the children?" ”

Li Lao Er responded, "Mr. Big is gone, and I, the second Mr. After that, I taught the children to read in the morning and went to the valley in the afternoon, without delay. ”

The villagers' eyes immediately lit up, and they laughed, "I was confused, and I forgot that Mr. Er had taught the children before, and the name of my kid was given by Mr. Two." ”

After a few words of gossip, the crowd dispersed.

After a while, everyone in the village knew that the school had changed Mr., but no one felt bad.

The Li family knows it in their hearts, and it is impossible to fool the child.

In the courtyard of the Li family, everyone was afraid that the old lady would be sad, so they stayed at home to accompany them all day.

On the contrary, the old lady was annoyed and began to tease people, "You all hurry up and get busy, what are you doing around me!" ”

When everyone saw the old lady's eyes glaring, as in the same spirit as before, they relaxed and went to work with a smile.

Brother Cat was a little wilted, so Li Lao Er carried him to the valley.

There are a lot of people there, and the naughty boys play together, and the cat brother will definitely get better.

The old lady sat on the kang and did needlework, either the tip of the needle pricked her finger or the cotton thread was knotted.

She simply threw away her work, rubbed her granddaughter's hair, and let out a long sigh.

"There is no good thing in this world for no reason, our family has worked hard in the past two years, but the days are also on fire, getting more and more prosperous. Not to mention anything else, when I first came out to escape the famine, I didn't have twenty taels of silver, but now I have more than twenty thousand taels on the books! ”

The old lady patted her chest, "Grandma is afraid, the silver has to be earned slowly, and the life will be steady." Grandma knows that the family is blessed by you, and your father and uncles are also diligent and obedient, so they are where they are now. But Fu Niu, grandma just sleeps with her heart. ”

Jiayin was a little surprised when she heard it, the family has money, food and clothing are not worried, and life is prosperous, which should be something that everyone is looking forward to, but I didn't expect it to become a psychological burden for the old lady.

She hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the old lady, "Grandma is not afraid, there are blessed girls!"

"Silly girl, just because of you, grandma is more worried. Your immortal skills are too powerful, what if you need to return to the immortals one day, and our family can't take it? Therefore, your uncle is going out this time, and grandma is reluctant to respond. ”

The old lady hugged her granddaughter tightly and kissed her soft little hair.

"Your uncle is right, this thing is done, it is a great merit! Let the people of Tianwu no longer starve, grandma pondered, it should be able to repay some blessings. ”

Jiayin blinked twice with big eyes and confessed in a low voice, "Grandma, that ...... It's also my ...... to my father-in-law."

She said vaguely, but the old lady understood, and blamed her angrily and funny.

"Little girl, don't you know how to be a grandmother? You don't even have to think about it to know that the good things that suddenly pop up are no one else except you! ”

Jiayin immediately grinned, twisted and coquettish in her grandmother's arms, "Grandma is the best." ”

The old lady helped her granddaughter to sit down, picked up the needle and thread again, and switched to a lighter tone.

"At noon, let's be at home, be lazy, and make up for the next noodle pad." There are still a lot of pickles, chopped up, stir-fry a meat sauce, okay? ”

"Okay." Jiayin thought about the white noodles, and when she poured the meat sauce, she couldn't help but suck her saliva, which made the old lady laugh.

At this time, Dongmei suddenly came in from outside, and Mrs. Li pulled her to sit down and asked, "Are you done with family affairs?" ”

Dongmei waved her hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Old lady, that ...... The chief butler of our Hou Mansion came, saying that he had something to tell you. ”

"The big butler is here?" The old lady was surprised, but she still asked Dongmei to hurry up and invite someone.

Soon, the big butler came in, smiling as usual and kindly, "Say hello to the old lady and the eldest lady." ”

"The big butler is polite, hurry up and sit down." The old lady poured a bowl of warm tea from the kang table and served it to him.

The chief housekeeper drank it all in one gulp, and when he saw that there were only one old and one young in the room, he asked, "Is the valley open, and Mr. Second is very busy?" ”

The old lady was so clever that she immediately said, "They have all gone to the valley, and there are only our grandparents and grandchildren at home." The big housekeeper has something to say, I can still call the shots in this family. ”

The chief butler sneered, thought for a while, and said, "Old lady, there is such a thing. When our Hou Mansion was still a Earl's Palace, it was moved from Kyoto, and it was almost the last batch. The Hou Ye was busy protecting the emperor and the queen mother, and I was alone in the house. Took a convoy and walked very slowly.

"Not far from Beijing, there was a woman on the side of the road, half-dead, very pitiful. I was moved by compassion for a moment, so I was rescued and brought here. Although the woman lived, she had a mutilated leg and a ruined face, and she spent her days in the slave's yard in our house, washing clothes and earning some wages. This morning, a servant came to report that the woman seemed to be out of order, but was only hanging for a breath, but she was clamoring to see me. I went to check it out and she said her name was ...... Wu Cuihua is the daughter-in-law of our Li family. ”

"Who are you talking about?" The old lady's face immediately changed, three points surprised, seven points complicated.

The chief housekeeper immediately guessed badly, after all, the Li family has always acted thoughtfully and taken care of the people in the village in every way, how could they let their daughter-in-law suffer outside, there must be something wrong with this.

Sure enough, the old lady asked, "We do have a daughter-in-law named Wu Cuihua in our family, who was accidentally lost back then." She can tell us about our family, can she be right? ”

The chief housekeeper nodded hurriedly, "She said the name of the second gentleman, as well as the name of the eldest lady, as well as the young master Jiaren, the young master of Jiayi, ......"

The old lady let out a long sigh, this must be Wu Cuihua.

No matter how many grievances there were before, now that people are dying, they can't see each other.

She hurriedly asked Dongmei to go to the valley to find the second and fourth children, and then found the jackets and skirts for herself and Jiayin.

After picking up these, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si also came back, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
